Well, if she is lying, others are lying. Like Barbara Gamarekian, a former Kennedy press aide, who was the original source of the story, not Mimi Alford. We have no reason to disbelieve Mimi Alford’s account.

President Kennedy had some serious faults.

Then in a way, weren't the FBI and CIA possibly correct in viewing JFK as a problem.

Even if the FBI ( Hoover) was right in perceiving JFK as a "problem"  (like John Dilliger, or Machine gun Kelley   :D) ....Who were declared  "public enemies" by Hoover..... Did he have the right to have JFK gunned down like Dillinger, and Kelley?

Jim DiEugenio says the Mimi Alford story was "crap". He says it at 48 minutes in on this video:


Aren't we supposed to believe women when they say they have been taken advantage of by a man?

You mean like the women who said Trump abused them?

Guest Tom Scully - Posted August 5, 2012

....No, Mr. Janney, although seen through the prism of our most benevolent view of your motives,we understand you are programmed to make a nice pay day from the hyping of sources with deep and disturbing conflicts, and the single source, sensational account from Timothy Leary, and ignore that Skull and Bones (Whitney surrogate Tex McCrary, F. Trubee Davison, Whitney financial advisor and Paris Review's John PC Train, Thomas Guinzburg who "hired" Jackie "O") and the Rockefellers and CIA have left their greasy fingerprints all over the U.S. publishing "offerings" and BOTH Priscilla Johnsons, we know what we know and it is much more persuasive than your opinion of Pease, Di Eugenio, CTKA, and your "nothing to see here" about a “Republican Party” or “CIA” plot to discredit President Kennedy. The real Priscilla Johnson and the Paris Review just happened to be mentored and paid by the same sources, and the "fake" Priscilla just happens to have a daddy who played with the Rockefellers. Mimi Alford just happened to hold it all in for nearly 30 years and then confess to David Rockefeller's key aide.

Mimi's best friend who she "confessed" to about her alleged affair with JFK was the daughter of this (fascist) fellow.:

Vince,
I hope you find the details in my post today at the JFK Lancer forum relevant and interesting.:

I discovered ten months ago that Mimi Alford’s best lifelong friend, Marion Stuart Pillsbury has
been working for David Rockefeller for the past 23 years and is the daughter of Gerald Ford’s “America First” co-founder, Robert Douglas Stuart, Jr. Last month I also unearthed the fact that
the Harper editor, John W. Leggett, who approved Priscilla Johnson’s assignment to latch on to Marina Oswald, is the uncle of the man Mimi Alford married in 1963, Anthony E. Fahnestock.

Mr. Leggett, a graduate of Phillips Academy and Harvard University, received a master's degree in international relations from Johns Hopkins University. He is a vice president in New York of Istituto Mobiliare Italiano, an investment banking firm in Rome.

He is a son of Mary Lee Leggett of New York and John W. Leggett of Napa, Calif. His father, a former director of the Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa, is a novelist, and his mother, known professionally as Lee Fahnestock, is a freelance translator of French literature. The bridegroom is a great-great-grandson of Harris C. Fahnestock, a founding partner in the National City Bank, a predecessor of Citibank...
