I’ll be prepared. Convinced that Hoover had somehow stacked the cards against her throughout the divorce proceedings, Susan had long tried to interest anyone who would listen that Hoover was a cross dresser. Susan had taken her allegations to Robert Morgenthau, the Attorney in NY, who himself had no use for Hoover. There was never a hint of this kind of a claim, Revell said. There were never any rumors about Hoover crossdressing, while there was always speculation about Hoover and Tolson. OliverBuck Revell, a former associate director of the FBI, noted that if the Mafia had anything on Hoover, it should have been picked up in wiretaps mounted against organized crime after Appalachin. Besides, the Secret Life of Edgar Hoover, claimed that Hoover did not pursue organized crime as the Mafia had blackmail material on him. Just think for a moment. In 1993, Anthony Summers, in his book Official and Confidential. Summers quoted Susan Rosenstiel, in support of that she was at a party at the Plaza Hotel where Hoover engaged in ‘crossdressing’ in front of her so husband and Roy Cohn, former counsel to Senator Joe McCarthy.
Now let me ask you something. Did you ever get a contact/email address for Anthony Summers?
With the mafia, nixon not only was closely affilated with the CIA.
JFK murder seems to come full circle from the Bay of Pigs to the CIA Mafia Anti Castro Cuban exile alliance forged to overthrow Castro. Also, hoover believed JFK stole the election from Nixon, and Nixon was aware of this would like to know how he thinks Nixon and Hoover could’ve fitted in to the JFK murder. I am studying the Kennedy assassination very closely at the moment and his book ‘Conspiracy’, that I’ve read roughly 15 times, is one of a few, So if not top-notch.
It will be extremely rewarding for me to communicate with Mr Summers about my ideas as I am writing stuff myself and I greatly respect his work.
She said she saw Hoover go into a bedroom and take off his skirt.
Hoover allegedly responded,Good evening. Also, there,young blond boys worked on him in bed. Considering the above said. Susan claimed Cohn introduced Hoover to her asMary. Considering the above said. As Hoover and Cohn watched, later Lewis Rosenstiel had sex with the young boys. Thank you for allowing me to set the record straight. Also,, I traveled with him, as one of his p assistants.
And therefore the Edgar Hoover Fouhndation, that is now the Edgar Hoover Law Enforcement Center, was not founded only by a contribution from Lewis Rosensteil.
It was mostly founded by contributions from many sources, Former Agents of the FBI have contributed heavily as has many organizations, and individuals from all kinds of law types enforcement and religions.
One added item. It is they are overshadowed by his many sucesses and by the many men and women he trained during his long career, he was not perfect and had warts. He was ugh and recognized that to gain the cooperation of the public he had to win respect. As a result, lots of us who knew Director Hoover for many years know he was not a cross dresser and homosexual. Under no circumstnaces would he have risked his reputation and that of the FBI by such habits unbecoming to his way of life. Certainly, whenever training for all Police, and the National Crime Information Center, a boon for all law enforcement, he is recognized as the Father of Modern Day Law Enforcement because of centralization of fingerprints, brilliantly creating a crime Laboratory for all of law enforcement, the FBI Academy.
He was a deeply religious, old fashioned, twofisted type, who believed in firm discipline.
This article attacks the thesis that Hoover was being balckmailed by the Mafia.
It does not offer any argument against the thesis that Hoover was seen in drag, and as a matter of fact the witness confirms her account. Since the word demonstrably did leak out, the statement that he could not have engaged in this activity without the word leaking out is silly. Seriously. With that said, this time, the director was wearing a redish dress. Around his neck was a blackish feather boa. Furthermore, he was holding a Bible, and he asked the blond boys to read a passage as another boy played with him. Furthermore, a year later, Susan claimed, she again saw Hoover at the Plaza. Actually most ‘cross dressing’ fetishists are straight, As most people know now, there’s no particular link between homosexuality and effeminacy or cross dressing. So more time that passes, the more the story reeks of 1950s straight stereotypes about homosexuality. Now look. They say bad forgeries always become more obvious with the passage of time.
In a Esquire piece, Peter Maas, a world class journalist who died in 2001, pointed out that Summers’s rendition of events has a fatal flaw.
Hoover wrote back,Lansky had been designated for ‘crash’ investigation, when the Miami Field Office complained that the investigation of Lansky was not producing enough information to justify the manpower.
Importance of this case can not be overemphasized. Then the bureau expects this investigation to be vigorous and detailed. Hoover assigned agents to investigate Lansky, who supposedly had the goods on him, just after the alleged incident at the Plaza. We have taken up the gauntlet flung down by organized crime.
Even before Kennedy ok over, Hoover, stung by the disclosure of the 1957 Appalachin meeting, had been pursuing the mob aggressively.
Definitely, Therefore in case there were such photos, they should have been just as embarrassing in the 1950s and 1960s as in earlier years.
Doesn’t that rpedo Summers= theory? No, Summers ld me, by that time it didn’t matter to Hoover. Notice, summers pointed out that he wrote a lengthy rebuttal to Esquire, and he called the Maas articleinaccurate and abhorrent. Having been ordered by Robert Kennedy to attack the Mafia as the FBI had attacked Communism, Hoover wrote in the January 1962 FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin,The battle is joined. Besides, we have to unite in a devastating assault to annihilate this mortal enemy. Still presumably cowering as Lansky had incriminating photos of him, Hoover followed up with an order to install bugs in Lansky’s apartment. He said he holdsno firm view in any case as to whether she ld the truth.
Despite the clear implication in the book that her story was true and the declaration on the book’s jacket that the Mafia knew that Hoover was a closet homosexual and transvestite and held that over his head, Summers ld me that he merely reported what Rosenstiel said, with what others claimed.
I wanted to say right after my last post you can commit the almost perfect crime of 911″ or JFK assassination if you are the lead agency investigating those crimes.
For a detailed reading of the trial transcripts laying out the evidence for tax payer funded FBI agents involvement in the Martin Luther King assassination visit the Martin Luther King Center website and read the transcripts posted by King family attorney William Pepper. For example, please excuse the extended post but I is likely to be having problems from the FBI CARNIVORE program. I am sure that the evidence convinced a jury to say FBI agents were principal architects in the assassination of Dr King.
Summers said that after Rosenstiel ld her the ‘crossdressing’ story, she ld him that she intended to give the story to another journalist.
Summers said he paid her a fee to hold the story until his book came out.
It’s a well-known fact that the producer of a documentary made for Frontline and the BBC also paid Rosenstiel for her appearance with Summers, he said. Um, I reckon the cartoon that you link to at the bottom of Article 814 is by Pat Oliphant, not Tom as the page reads as of 7/18/Tom Oliphant is a political columnist for the Boston Globe. Pat Oliphant is the political cartoonist. It was episodes like these, Summers declared, that the Mafia held over Hoover’s head.Mafia bosses obtained information about Hoover’s sex life and used it for decades to keep the FBI at bay, the jacket of the book says.Without this, the Mafia as we know it might never have gained its hold on America. Eventually, while having endowed the Edgar Hoover Foundation in 1965 with $ 1 million, he was also friends with Hoover.
Virtually, she served time at Riker’s Island for perjuring herself in a 1971 case.
Rosenstiel, a former bootlegger during Prohibition, was wellacquainted with Mafia figures like Frank Costello, originally Francesco Castiglia.
Susan was Summers’s primary source for the cross dressing story, and she was not exactly a credible witness. Then, the cross dressing allegations were as credible as McCarthy’s claim that there were 205 known Communists in the State Department, yet the press widely circulated the claim without further investigation.
Hoover was more familiar to Americans than most presidents. That Hoover was a crossdresser is now largely presumed to be fact even by sophisticated people.
