Eugene Dinkins : A Page From JFK: The Magnificent Journey
On November 6, 1963 Pfc. Eugene Dinkins held a small press conference in
Geneva Switzerland to warn of a plot to assassinate Pres. Kennedy in Dallas on
November 22, 1963. He also in writing informed his superiors, the FBI and the
Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy.
On November 13, 1963 Dinkins was
involuntarily committed to Walter Reed Army Hospital psychiatric unit. Heavily medicated he also received electroconvulsive treatment.
After months he was declared mentally incapacitated and discharged. Since then Dinkins
never spoke to reporters and vanished from public life.
For a courageous young soldier without any
psychiatric history doing the right thing by informing his superiors and the
public by correctly predicting the assassination of Pres. Kennedy and then to
be declared insane and disappearing from public life is a mind-boggling story.
It is reasonable to question
whether psychiatry became a tool of oppression as it was observed to be in
Stalin’s Soviet Union. What happened to the cable and letters to the FBI and
the Department of Justice? What happened to him? What was the medical
justification for involuntary psychiatric hospitalization and treatment? From a
psychiatric perspective having unusual thoughts or delusions does not justify
involuntary commitment. For all we know, he was not suicidal, homicidal or
presenting a danger to others so hospitalization made no sense.
The observation about Dinkins is how little energy has been invested to
investigate his fascinating and tragic story, consistent with complicity of
silence.
