Material cited to unreliable sources[edit]

Per the discussion at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Executive Intelligence Review which refers to a 2004 ArbCom decision regarding LaRouche material, I have removed material attributed to Dope, Inc and a few other unreliable sources this edit.

Wow, very nice. Removed content cited by the Canadian Archives and a published book by a former DA of New Orleans? Crooked. --Hutcher (talk) 03:58, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Canadian Archives material is still there; it is the first reference and has been cited 18 times in the article. Garrison is not a reliable source for statements of fact, but is notable enough that he may be used with in-text attribution. These are the three sentences that were cited to Garrison's book:

On the advice of William Stephenson US President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Office of Strategic Services in 1942 and Bloomfield was recruited by that organization and given the rank of Major in the United States Army.
In 1947, the OSS evolved into the Central Intelligence Agency, and Bloomfield continued his relationship with the organization.
He was also a major stockholder of Centro Mondiale Commerciale (CMC).

There is nothing to substantiate that Bloomfield was in the United States Army, but his position in the RCASC and the allegations that he was was connected to the OSS, CIA, and CMC are still in the article:

Bloomfield served in World War II with the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps and retired with the rank of major in 1946.
Proponents of some John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories have alleged the Bloomfield was linked to the shooting through the Office of Strategic Services, the Central Intelligence Agency, and Permindex.
On March 4, 1967, the Italian left-wing newspaper Paese Sera published a story alleging that Clay Shaw, who was arrested and charged with conspiring to assassinate President John F. Kennedy by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison three days earlier, was linked to the CIA through his involvement in the Centro Mondiale Commerciale, a subsidiary of Permindex in which Shaw was a board member.
