PREFACE
The Unspoken Truth:
Israel's Central Role in the JFK Assassination
Where in the world could anyone come up with the idea that
Israel's Mossad had a hand in the assassination of John F. Kennedy?
All of the information which, taken together, proves this contention has
long been in the public domain. This book, Final Judgment, brings all of
these facts together for the first time in a fascinating and frightening
scenario that—although controversial—does make sense.
Considering all of the theories about the assassination of John F.
Kennedy that have been circulating for years, how could anyone ever
suggest that Israel's Mossad was involved ?
This was the reaction of more than a few people when apprised of the thesis
presented in the pages of this book. Yet, I believe, that when you read this
volume you will reach the same conclusion: that Israel and its spy
agency, the Mossad, did indeed play a critical role in the JFK assassination
conspiracy and its cover-up. The evidence is there, as you shall see.
It was in 1989, while re-reading A. J. Weberman and Michael
Canfield's Coup d'Etat in America (first published in 1975) that I first
stumbled upon a strange reference that ultimately led to my research that is
outlined here in the pages of Final Judgment. The reference, simple as it
was, appearing on page 41, read as follows:
"After the assassination, an informer for the Secret Service and the
FBI who had infiltrated a Cuban exile group and was in the process of
selling them machine guns, reported that on November 21, 1963 he was
told, 'We now have plenty of money—our new backers are the Jews—as
soon as they take care of JFK.' This man had furnished reliable
information in the past." (emphasis added)
I barely noticed the reference, but it did intrigue me. Who did this
source mean by "the Jews" and why (of all people) would "they" want to
"take care of JFK"? I concluded the source meant Jewish gangsters such as
Meyer Lansky who wanted to regain their Cuban gambling interests they
lost when Castro came to power. This, I thought, had to be the answer.
Frankly, I laid the speculation aside. It was just one lone detail among
millions of words written about the JFK assassination. Nearly a year went
by before I came across the reference again—while re-reading the same
book. I pondered the quote for a moment, thinking, "This is interesting."
However, I once again cast it aside. I had long ago already concluded
that the CIA, in collusion with elements of "the Mafia" and the anti-Castro
Cuban exiles, was responsible for the president's assassination.
However, an entire year later—sometime in 1991—I came across a
variation of the same quotation cited in the book by Weberman and
Canfield. This time it appeared in David Scheim's book, Contract on
America, which contends "The Mafia Killed JFK" and which also
[ii] Final Judgment
vehemently dismisses any CIA involvement whatsoever. I had read
Scheim's book when it first came out in 1988, but I had not noticed the
reference (or the similarity to the other one) at that time.
What intrigued me, however, was that Scheim's rendition of the quote
deleted the reference to the alleged Jewish backers of the Cuban plotters.
My immediate thought was: "What's Scheim trying to hide?" At that
moment I finally began to see that this unusual (seemingly minor) detail
might, in fact, point toward something much bigger than I had realized.
THE LANSKY CONNECTION
It was at this time that a new biography of organized crime figure
Meyer Lansky was released. Entitled Little Man: Meyer Lansky and the
Gangster Life, the book—prepared in cooperation with Lansky's
family—was little more than a puff piece for Lansky. I realized immediately
that the book still somehow seemed to be missing quite a lot.
It was then that I returned to my library and pulled a book off the shelf
that I hadn't re-read in perhaps fifteen years. It was Hank Messick's
biography of Lansky. Re-reading this important book I began to see that
Meyer Lansky was not just a Mafia advisor as David Scheim, for example,
would have his readers believe. Instead, Lansky was "the chairman of the
board" of organized crime. All of the Mafia figures that had been repeatedly
implicated in the JFK assassination were, in fact, Lansky's front men—his
subordinates, his underlings. In short, if "the Mafia" had a hand in the
killing of JFK, then Lansky had to have been one of the key players.
Yet, as I quickly began to see in reviewing many of the works which
allege that "The Mafia Killed JFK," Lansky's preeminent role was being
ignored or otherwise under-played. I was aware of Lansky's close ties to
Israel. After all, Lansky fled to Israel when the heat was on in the United
States. But how deeply did the Lansky-Israeli connection go? My research
into that question began to turn up some interesting facts.
THE ISRAELI CONNECTION
At this juncture, however, I had no reason whatsoever to think that
Israel would have had any reason to participate in the JFK assassination
conspiracy. However, it was just about the time that I had begun to take a
second look at the Lansky connection—in 1991—that several new works
were released which provided never-before revealed information about the
covert relationship between the United States and Israel.
These books, cited extensively in Final Judgment, made it all too clear
that John F. Kennedy had become embroiled in a bitter behind-the-scenes
battle with Israel. In fact, Kennedy was at war.
JFK's secret war with Israel was something that even long-time JFK
assassination researchers had no reason to know about. Much of the
material had long been classified. It was a secret—a deep, dark secret.
Preface [iii]
Some of JFK's communications with then-Israeli Prime Minister David
Ben-Gurion were classified for years, until just recently. Not even top-level
intelligence officials with special security clearance were initially allowed
access to those explosive documents.
In fact, prior to these more recent revelations, very little about JFK's
relations with Israel and the Arab world had ever actually been published
anywhere. As historian David Schoenbaum pointed out quite notably in his
book, The United States and the State of Israel:
"Submerged among the high-visibility themes of East-West relations,
the nuclear arms race and the early dawn of a test ban and nonproliferation,
the Berlin and Cuban missile crisis, the perplexities of the newly
decolonized Belgian Congo, buoyant hopes for an Alliance for Progress in
Latin America, and the deepening quagmire in Vietnam, the Middle East is
scarcely even visible in the standard biographies that followed Kennedy's
assassination. Even by liberal estimates, Ben-Gurion and Nasser, Israel
and Egypt appear on only seven each of Theodore Sorensen's 758, and
Arthur M. Schlesinger's 1,031 pages of text." (Emphasis added.)
In short, while JFK assassination researchers were busy probing a wide
variety of areas, they were missing the big picture—the secret picture on the
other side of the jigsaw puzzle.
So it was that the new revelations about Kennedy's relationship with
Israel (and its potential link to the assassination conspiracy) made me
realize that there was an unexplored area of research—never before
considered—that needed examination.
ISRAEL, LANSKY & THE CIA
By this time, then, the long and close relationship between Israel and
JFK's foes at the CIA was something that was now being acknowledged.
And JFK's own war with the CIA was already common knowledge. At the
time of the JFK assassination, however, the depth and breadth of the CIA's
relationship with Israel's Mossad, however, was not so commonly known.
The pieces of the puzzle were all there. They simply needed to be put
together. With a basic thesis now evolving in my mind, I began re-reading
much of the published information about the JFK assassination, his policy
toward Israel and the history of organized crime.
And in so doing, I repeatedly found myself stumbling upon new
information that continued to verify what was initially in my mind just a
theory, but which I now believe to be the truth. By December of 1992 I
realized that I had enough material for a book and I began to write it.
But even as I was already in the process of writing the book, I was
startled by the vast amount of material that I was continually uncovering—
and virtually all of it was in the pages of mainstream sources freely available
to anyone who cared to do the research. I thus began to realize that I had
indeed begun to assemble a remarkable wealth of material that brought my
initial thesis full circle.
[iv] Final Judgment
THE PERMINDEX CONNECTION
It is the Permindex connection which is the tie that binds—the final
proof that the Mossad was at the center of the assassination conspiracy. In
Permindex we find all of the critical elements tying the Mossad, the CIA
and the Lansky Crime Syndicate together in close-knit intrigue linked
directly to the murder of President Kennedy.
Although researchers have devoted much time and energy to pursuing a
wide variety of questions relating to the JFK assassination (focusing on many
matters that will never be resolved) most have steered clear of Permindex.
Those who have referenced it portray Permindex as some sort of remnant
of the Third Reich but nothing could be further from the truth.
In fact, understanding the forces behind Permindex is the key to
resolving the biggest mystery of this century: the question of not only who
killed John F. Kennedy—but why.
INSIDERS AGREE . . .
Just before I began the book I mentioned my theory to a rather well-known
former United States congressman. He surprised me when he said, "I think you
are on to something. I've believed for years that the Mossad was involved in
the Kennedy assassination, but I never really took the time to look into it.
I'm glad you're doing it, though. It will be an important book. It's a book I
would have liked to have written myself."
Then, just after I finished the first draft, I sent a copy of the manuscript to
another former member of Congress, Paul Findley, thinking that he might have
some interest in the subject. His response was perhaps a bit astonishing.
The ex-Congressman wrote me a surprising letter in which he said, "I will
mention that over the past four years I have had lengthy correspondence with
a retired diplomat from a western European nation whose family (including
himself) has had disastrous experiences with Israel and the Mossad. He has
been prodding me all that time to do what you have done."—that is, write a
book exploring Israel's secret role in the JFK assassination conspiracy.
Congressman Findley then passed the manuscript on to the Frenchman
(whose remarkable story you will learn about in these pages) who in turn
provided me additional fascinating leads and inside information that helped
make the thesis presented in Final Judgment complete.
ONE COMPLETE PICTURE
Israel's Mossad was indeed a primary force behind the JFK
assassination conspiracy. The Israeli connection pulls all of the pieces of the
puzzle together into one complete picture. The role of the Mossad in the
JFK assassination is indeed the "missing link" in the conspiracy. For the
sake of history, it is a story that needs to be told.
—MICHAEL COLLINS PIPER
A Who's Who
of the JFK Assassination
Conspiracy and Cover-Up
While the following selection of names in this special "who's who" is
by no means complete, it does provide the reader of Final Judgment with a
brief overview of the facts relating to the involvement of the individuals in
question with the circumstances surrounding not only the JFK assassination
itself, but also the efforts by some to uncover the truth about the
assassination—and by others to bury it.
Following each name and description are references to the particular
chapters in Final Judgment where details about that individual appear in
pertinent part. The inclusion of any name in particular is by no means
intended to suggest that the individual—unless specifically stated—had
foreknowledge that the murder of President Kennedy was being planned.
As we note in these pages, there were many people who were brought
into the JFK assassination conspiracy and the subsequent cover-up who had
no idea of the actual role that they were playing.
The following "who's who"—if read in this context—provides the
reader a quick glance at the key individuals who ultimately prove central to a
complete understanding of the entirety of the conspiracy that resulted in
the assassination of President Kennedy.
At Permindex
Clay Shaw - If New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison had been
permitted to carry out an unimpeded investigation and prosecution of Shaw, a
CIA contract operative and former director of the International Trade Mart in
New Orleans implicated in involvement with Lee Harvey Oswald, David Ferrie,
Guy Banister and other figures central to the JFK assassination
conspiracy, the truth about Shaw's connections—through a shadowy
corporation known as Permindex—to not only Israel's Mossad, but also the
international crime syndicate of Israeli loyalist Meyer Lansky would have
been bared to the world. (See Chapter 15)
Louis M. Bloomfield - Based in Montreal, Bloomfield was a long-time
intelligence operative and a front man for the powerful Bronfman family
interests. The Bronfmans were not only key international backers of Israel
but also long-time figures in the Lansky crime syndicate. Bloomfield, one
of the foremost figures in the Israeli lobby in Canada and one of Israel's
leading international operatives, not only served as the chief shareholder in
the Permindex Corporation on whose board of directors Clay Shaw served,
but also had intimate ties to American intelligence. (See Chapter 15)
[vi] Final Judgment 54
Tibor Rosenbaum - One of the "godfathers" of the state of Israel and the
first director for finance and supply for Israel's intelligence agency, the
Mossad, Rosenbaum was a prime financial angel behind the Permindex
corporation and a key figure in the JFK assassination conspiracy. His Swiss
bank, the Banque De Credit International, also served as the chief European
money laundry for Meyer Lansky, chief of the global crime syndicate. (See
Chapter 8, Chapter 15, Appendix Four and Appendix Nine).
John King - A close business associate of Tibor Rosenbaum's protégé and
sometime front man, Bernard Cornfeld, King showed up in New Orleans in
the early stages of Jim Garrison's investigation—before Clay Shaw's name
had come up—and sought to persuade Garrison (through a bribery attempt)
to give up the inquiry. Fortunately he failed in his scheme. (See Chapter 15)
The Mossad Connection
David Ben-Gurion - Prime Minister of Israel; resigned his post in disgust
with JFK's stance toward Israel in April of 1963; Said JFK's position
threatened Israel's very survival. (See Chapter 4 and Chapter 5)
Yitzhak Shamir - A long-time Mossad officer (based largely at the
Mossad's chief European office in Paris), Shamir headed the Mossad's
assassination squad at the time of the JFK assassination. A former French
intelligence officer has charged that Shamir himself arranged the hiring of
JFK's actual assassins through a close ally in French intelligence. (See
Chapter 5 and Chapter 16)
Menachem Begin - In 1963, Begin (later prime minister of Israel) was a
roving Israeli diplomat; prior to JFK's assassination he was overheard
conspiring with Meyer Lansky's California henchman, Mickey Cohen, in a
conversation that suggested hostile intentions by Israel against the
American president. (See Chapter 13)
Luis Kutner - Although known largely as a "mob lawyer" in Chicago,
Kutner—who was long and closely associated with Jack Ruby, a sometime
client—Kutner also doubled as an international intelligence operative and
functioned as an advisor to an ad hoc pro-Israel lobby group in the United
States. (See Chapter 14)
A. L. Botnick - Head of the New Orleans office of the Anti-Defamation
League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith, an intelligence and propaganda arm for
Israel's Mossad; a close associate of New Orleans-based CIA operative Guy
Banister who helped create Lee Harvey Oswald's pre-assassination profile
as a "pro-Castro" agitator. Evidence suggests Banister's manipulation of
Oswald may have been carried out under the guise of an ADL "factfinding"
operation. (See Chapter 15 and Appendix Three)
55 Who'sWho? [vii]
Arnon Milchan - Israel's biggest arms dealer, Milchan was "executive
producer" (i.e. chief financial angel) of Oliver Stone's Hollywood fantasy
about the JFK assassination—a fact which may explain Stone's aversion to
exploring the Israeli connection to the affair. (See Chapter 17)
Shaul Eisenberg - Israel's wealthiest industrialist and longtime operative
for the Mossad was a prime mover behind Israel's efforts to build a nuclear
arsenal. His covert dealings with Red China played a key role in the JFK
assassination conspiracy. (See Appendix Nine)
The CIA Connection
Rudolph Hecht - An owner of the CIA-linked Standard Fruit concern,
Hecht was a prominent figure in the New Orleans Jewish community and as
chairman of the board of directors of the International Trade Mart was
Permindex board member Clay Shaw's primary sponsor. (See Chapter 15)
James Jesus Angleton - Angleton, the CIA's long-time chief of
counterintelligence, was the CIA's primary high-level conspirator in the
murder of President Kennedy and the subsequent cover-up. Angleton, who
had been co-opted by and was totally loyal to the Israeli Mossad, played a
major role in the effort to frame Lee Harvey Oswald. Final Judgment is the
first JFK assassination study to delve into Angleton's role in the conspiracy.
(See Chapter 8, Chapter 9, and Chapter 16)
David Atlee Phillips - A long-time high-level CIA official, Phillips was the
CIA station chief in Mexico City at the time a strange effort was underway
to implicate Lee Harvey Oswald as a Soviet KGB collaborator. If anyone in
the CIA knew the truth about Oswald, it was Phillips. He confessed publicly
that the story about Oswald being in Mexico City was not precisely what
the CIA had long claimed. (See Chapter 16)
E. Howard Hunt - Long-time CIA officer and liaison to the anti-Castro
Cuban exiles. Testimony by ex-CIA contract operative Marita Lorenz
placed Hunt in Dallas, Texas the day before the president's assassination.
The full truth about Hunt's actual involvement in the affair may never be
known, but there is no question that Hunt was deeply involved in the
intrigue surrounding the president's murder. Evidence does indeed indicate
that there was a conscious effort to frame Hunt for involvement in the
crime. (See Chapter 9 and Chapter 16)
Guy Banister -The former FBI agent-turned-CIA contract operative whose
New Orleans office was a central point for intrigue involving the CIA, the
anti-Castro Cuban exiles and the anti-DeGaulle forces in the French Secret
Army Organization (OAS). Under Banister's direction, Lee Harvey Oswald
[viii] Final Judgment 56
established a public profile for himself as a "pro-Castro" agitator in the
streets of New Orleans. (See Chapter 15 and Appendix Three)
David Ferrie - An enigmatic CIA contract operative, Ferrie was closely
involved with Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans in the summer of 1963,
working alongside Oswald out of Guy Banister's office. The investigation
of Ferrie by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison ultimately led to
Garrison's discovery of Permindex board member Clay Shaw's ties to
Ferrie, Oswald and Banister. (See Chapter 15 and Appendix Three)
Marita Lorenz - A former CIA contract operative, she testified under oath
that one day prior to the JFK assassination she arrived in Dallas with her
CIA handler Frank Sturgis and an armed caravan of Cuban exiles who were
met there by not only Jack Ruby, who later killed Lee Harvey Oswald, but
also by CIA official E. Howard Hunt. (See Chapter 9 and Chapter 16)
Frank Sturgis - Best remembered as a key CIA player in the war against
Castro, Sturgis had worked for the Mossad even prior to his years with the
CIA and maintained his Mossad ties well into the 1970s. Sturgis was not
only involved in the training of Cuban exiles near New Orleans (the same
operation involving Guy Banister and David Ferrie) but he also led the
armed caravan (described by Marita Lorenz) that arrived in Dallas the day
before the JFK assassination. Sturgis later told Miss Lorenz that his team
had played a part in the events in Dealey Plaza. (See Chapter 16)
Guillermo & Ignacio Novo - Two brothers, veterans of the CIA-backed
Cuban exile wars against Fidel Castro, the Novos were part of the armed
caravan led by CIA and Mossad asset Frank Sturgis that arrived in Dallas
on November 21, 1963. Many years after Dallas, the Novos were convicted
of participating in the murder of a Chilean dissident in collaboration with
another Mossad-connected adventurer, Michael Townley, who in 1963 had
been working for high-level Mossad figures implicated in the JFK
conspiracy. (See Chapter 9 and Chapter 16)
Victor Marchetti - A high-ranking CIA official who left the agency in
disgust, Marchetti later made a career writing about the CIA. In a 1978
article in The Spotlight newspaper, Marchetti charged that the CIA was
about to frame its long-time operative, E. Howard Hunt, with involvement
in the JFK assassination. A libel suit filed by Hunt as a consequence of
Marchetti's article resulted in a climactic finding by a jury that the CIA had
been involved in the assassination of the president. (See Chapter 16)
Robin Moore - A journalist with long-standing close ties to the CIA,
Moore co-authored former CIA man Hugh McDonald's book, LBJ and the
JFK Conspiracy which promoted James Jesus Angleton's false claim that
the KGB was behind the president's murder—another of the disinformation
stories that emerged following the assassination. (See Chapter 17)
57 Who'sWho? [ix]
The Lansky Crime Syndicate
Meyer Lansky - Chief executive officer and de facto "treasurer" of the
international crime syndicate; active in gun-running on behalf of the Israeli
underground; collaborated closely with American intelligence on a number
of fronts; later settled in Israel. Researchers who have claimed that "The
Mafia Killed JFK" have pointedly refused to acknowledge Lansky's
preeminent positioning in the underworld. (See Chapter 7)
Carlos Marcello - The head of the Mafia in New Orleans, Marcello owed
his status to Meyer Lansky who was his chief sponsor in the crime
syndicate. Marcello could not have orchestrated the JFK assassination—as
some suggest—without Lansky's explicit approval. (See Chapter 10)
Seymour Weiss - Meyer Lansky's New Orleans bagman and liaison with
the Louisiana political establishment served as a director of the CIA-linked
Standard Fruit company. He appears to have been a high-ranking CIA asset
in New Orleans at the time of the JFK assassination. (See Chapter 15)
Santo Trafficante, Jr. - Although best known as the head of the Mafia in
Tampa, Trafficante actually functioned as Meyer Lansky's chief lieutenant
in the crime syndicate and as Lansky's liaison with the CIA in the Castro
assassination plots. (See Chapter 12)
Sam Giancana - Longtime Chicago Mafia leader, Giancana was a player in
the CIA-Mafia plots against Castro, working under the direction of the real
"boss" of the crime syndicate in Chicago, Mossad-connected Hyman
Lamer, a partner of national crime chief Meyer Lansky. (See Chapter 11)
Johnny Rosselli - A roving "ambassador" for the Mossad-connected
Chicago Mafia, Rosselli was the primary conduit between the CIA and the
mob in the plots against Fidel Castro; may have arranged the murder of Sam
Giancana and was later murdered himself. (See Chapter 11)
Mickey Cohen - Meyer Lansky's West Coast henchman; Jack Ruby's role
model and a gun-runner for the Israeli underground, Cohen collaborated
closely with Israeli diplomat Menachem Begin prior to the JFK
assassination; Cohen arranged for John F. Kennedy to meet actress Marilyn
Monroe who was assigned the task of finding out JFK's private views and
intentions toward Israel. (See Chapter 13)
Jack Ruby - A long-time functionary for the Lansky syndicate, Ruby was
the Lansky connection man in Dallas and also engaged in CIA-linked gunrunning
to the anti-Castro Cuban exiles. Evidence suggests there is more to
Ruby's sudden "death" than meets the eye. (See Chapter 14)

• Final Judgment 58
  Jim Braden - A veteran personal courier for Meyer Lansky, Braden was
  almost assuredly in contact in Dallas with Jack Ruby prior to the JFK
  assassination. He was briefly detained in Dealey Plaza minutes after the
  president's murder, but those JFK assassination researchers who have
  mentioned Braden prefer to cast him as a "Mafia" figure rather than as
  Lansky's man on the scene in Dallas. (See Chapter 14)
  Al Gruber - A henchman of Meyer Lansky's West Coast operative, Mickey
  Cohen, Gruber and Ruby spoke by telephone just shortly before Ruby killed
  Lee Harvey Oswald. It is believed that Gruber gave Ruby the contract on
  Oswald on behalf of his superiors. (See Chapter 13)
  The French Connection
  Charles DeGaulle - Repeatedly targeted for assassination by Israeli-allied
  forces in French intelligence and in the Secret Army Organization (OAS)
  who were angry that DeGaulle had granted independence to Arab Algeria.
  The Mossad-sponsored Permindex operation that also had a hand in the
  murder of JFK, laundered money used in the assassination attempts on
  DeGaulle. (See Chapter 9, Chapter 15 and Chapter 16)
  Georges deLannurien - High ranking official in the SDECE, the French
  intelligence agency; pinpointed by a former French intelligence officer as
  the individual who (at the behest of Mossad assassinations chief Yitzhak
  Shamir) contracted the hit team who killed JFK in Dallas. (See Chapter 16)
  Michael Mertz - A former French SDECE officer and the Paris connection
  for the Lansky-Trafficante heroin syndicate; alleged to have been one of the
  actual gunmen in Dallas on November 22, 1963. Long believed to be the
  legendary CIA contract killer, QJ/WIN. (See Chapter 16)
  Jean Soutre - A liaison for the French OAS with the CIA's E. Howard
  Hunt, Soutre maintained contact with Guy Banister's CIA- and mob-linked
  gunrunning headquarters in New Orleans. Soutre may have been in Dallas at
  the time of the JFK assassination. There is evidence linking Soutre to James
  Jesus Angleton's intrigue inside the CIA that affected French intelligence
  in a dramatic way. (See Chapter 15 and Chapter 16)
  Thomas Eli Davis III - A world-traveling mercenary linked to Jack Ruby's
  arms dealing activities, Davis was taken into custody in North Africa for his
  subversive activities alongside Israeli agents in supplying weapons to the
  French OAS just prior to the JFK assassination. The CIA's infamous
  international assassin QJ/WIN has long been said to have secured Davis's
  release from prison. (See Chapter 16)
  59 Who'sWho? [xi]
  Geoffrey Bocca - A former propagandist for the OAS, Bocca later coauthored
  former CIA contract agent Hugh McDonald's book, Appointment in Dallas,
  which pointed the blame for the JFK assassination away from those who
  were actually responsible—the first of two suspect books put out by
  McDonald. (See Chapter 17 and Appendix Eight)
  Christian David - A French Corsican criminal associated with reputed JFK
  assassin Michael Mertz, David has claimed knowledge of a French hit team
  involved in the JFK assassination. David himself was the chief suspect in
  the murder of a Moroccan dissident, Mehdi Ben-Barka, whose killing was
  orchestrated by the Israeli Mossad through anti-DeGaulle forces in French
  intelligence. (See Chapter 16)
  Truth Seekers
  Mark Lane - Retained by Lee Harvey Oswald's mother to represent her
  son's interests before the Warren Commission, Lane's book Rush to
  Judgment was the first major critique of the Warren Commission Report. In
  defending a libel suit filed against The Spotlight newspaper by former CIA
  operative E. Howard Hunt, Lane proved to the satisfaction of a jury that the
  CIA had indeed been involved in the JFK assassination. His best-selling
  book Plausible Denial outlined the circumstances of that libel suit and its
  ultimate conclusion. (See Chapter 9 and Chapter 16)
  Gary Wean - A former detective on the Hollywood beat of the Los Angeles
  Police Department, Wean discovered how Meyer Lansky's West Coast
  henchman, Mickey Cohen, was conspiring against John F. Kennedy on
  behalf of the Israelis. In a meeting with the former sheriff of Dallas County,
  Bill Decker, Wean learned a portion of the truth about what really happened
  in Dallas. (See Chapter 13 and Chapter 16)
  News Twisters
  Edgar & Edith Stern - Close friends of Clay Shaw and financial backers
  of the pro-Israel Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith, and
  owners of the WDSU media empire in New Orleans that not only played a
  major role in giving vast publicity to Lee Harvey Oswald's profile as a
  "pro-Castro agitator" but also later sought to undermine Jim Garrison's
  investigation of Clay Shaw. (See Chapter 17 and Appendix Three)
  Johann Rush - As a young WDSU cameraman, Rush was on the scene to
  record Oswald's "pro-Castro" activities. He emerged—many years later—
  as the brains behind a "computer-enhanced" version of the famous Zapruder
  film of the JFK assassination that author Gerald Posner cited as "proof' that
  Oswald acted alone in the president's murder. (See Chapter 17)
  [xii] Final Judgment 60
  Drew Pearson - Accused by his own mother-in-law of being a
  "mouthpiece" for the pro-Israel ADL, Pearson had close ties to not only the
  Israeli lobby, but also the CIA and to President Lyndon Johnson and his
  cronies. It was Pearson who floated an unlikely story that Fidel Castro was
  behind the JFK assassination and who also played a major influence in
  shaping Earl Warren's perceptions of the tragedy. (See Chapter 17)
  Jack Anderson - As protégé of Drew Pearson, Jack Anderson likewise had
  strange connections that might have biased his own reportage on the JFK
  affair. Since 1963 Anderson has promoted a number of conflicting versions
  about "who really killed JFK" ranging from "the Mafia" to Fidel Castro or a
  combination of both. (See Chapter 17)
  Jack Newfield - A liberal columnist and some-time JFK assassination buff,
  Newfield has been a likewise long-standing devotee of Israel. He made a
  big splash with a highly fantastic story that missing Teamster boss Jimmy
  Hoffa had "ordered" two Mafia figures to arrange the killing of President
  Kennedy. Not surprisingly, Newfield's ridiculous story was given wide play
  in the Establishment media. (See Chapter 17)
  Theorists and/or Propagandists?
  Oliver Stone - His Hollywood extravaganza, JFK, gave the public a fullblown,
  full-color, gory-in-every-detail conspiracy theory on the JFK
  assassination. Yet, Stone's presentation of the conspiracy was far from
  complete and failed to reach any firm conclusions. He deliberately
  suppressed the "French connection" which, in turn, was the long-hidden
  Israeli connection. Not only was Stone's chief financial backer Israel's
  leading arms dealer but the company distributing his film had its origins in
  the Lansky crime syndicate. What's more, one of the chief shareholders in
  the film company was none other than Bernard Cornfeld, long-time
  associate of Permindex figure Tibor Rosenbaum (See Chapter 17).
  Frank Mankiewicz - This former publicist for the Israeli Mossad-linked
  Anti-Defamation League had a peculiar part in the events that took place
  prior to the murder of Robert F. Kennedy. Then when Oliver Stone began
  promoting his film JFK, Mankiewicz popped up as his key public relations
  man. (See Chapter 17 and Chapter 18)
  Anthony Summers - Author of one book hinting that the Kennedy family
  were responsible for the death—maybe the murder—of actress Marilyn
  Monroe, Summers wrote another book on the JFK conspiracy. In neither
  book did Summers reveal explosive information (of which he was aware)
  that could have helped point in the direction of those same forces which
  played a part in both crimes. (See Chapter 13)
  61 Who'sWho? [xiii]
  Robert Morrow - A former CIA contract operative who played a major
  role in activities on the periphery of the JFK assassination conspiracy,
  Morrow's book on his experiences is rife with detail, yet suspect in the eyes
  of many who had looked into his claims. Morrow's book absolves the key
  CIA conspirator, James J. Angleton, of involvement in the JFK conspiracy
  and portrays him as being "out of the loop" when, in fact, precisely the
  opposite was true. Is it a coincidence that Morrow's book publisher is an
  American affiliate of an Israeli publishing company? (See the Afterword)
  G. Robert Blakey - An unlikely choice to serve as director of the House
  Select Committee on Assassinations, Blakey had, just two years previously,
  served as a character witness for a long-time close associate of crime boss
  Meyer Lansky. When pointing the blame in the JFK assassination, Blakey
  targeted Lansky's protégé, New Orleans Mafia boss, Carlos Marcello, but
  looked no further. Blakey, likewise, found no role by the CIA—or any other
  intelligence agency—in the assassination. Blakey says that if (that's if)
  there was a conspiracy—"The Mafia Killed JFK. "(See Chapter 10)
  David Scheim - The author of a book that pins the murder of President
  Kennedy on "the Mafia," Scheim refuses to acknowledge Permindex board
  member Clay Shaw's intelligence connections and paints Israeli loyalist
  Meyer Lansky as a low-level syndicate figure with no influence of
  substance. Scheim's book was published by the American front for an
  Israeli publishing company. (See Chapter 10)
  John Foster "Chip" Berlet - A hit-and-run "journalist" with longstanding
  covert connections to the CIA and an open collaborator with the Anti-
  Defamation League (ADL)—a conduit for Israel's Mossad—Berlet played a
  key role in a major propaganda campaign by the ADL to prevent the facts
  about the JFK assassination put forth in the pages of Final Judgment from
  being heard. (See the Foreword)
  James DiEugenio - Although a deep admirer of both John F. Kennedy and
  New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, DiEugenio has tread lightly
  when inquiring into the ties between Clay Shaw and the Permindex
  operation with its multiple links to the Israeli Mossad and the crime
  syndicate. (See Appendix Three and the Afterword)
  Peter Dale Scott - His years of in-depth research on the JFK assassination
  have led him directly to the doorstep of the CIA, the Mossad and the
  Lansky Crime Syndicate, yet he has never been prepared to name names or
  point in the direction of those very forces, preferring to sidestep the issue. Is he
  afraid or is he simply ignorant? (See the Afterword.)
  And now, for a final judgment . . .

Chapter One
The Tie That Binds:
What All of the Most Commonly Accepted JFK
Assassination Theories Have in Common—
The Never-Mentioned Israeli Connection
Who killed John F. Kennedy? That question has plagued
the world for a generation. What is it that we do know about
the JFK murde r tha t t i e s a l l o f the di f f e r ing theo r i e s
together? What is it that all of the theories have in common?
The blame for the assassination has been placed on
numerous power groups, perhaps working independently or
together. Most often named have been the CIA (or rogue
elements thereof), organized crime and the anti-Castro Cuban
network.
Yet, one power in particular—Israel and its spy agency,
the Mo s sad—links a l l o f the s e fo rc e s tog ether . I s ra el ,
h owe v e r , i s t h e c e n t r a l p l a y e r wh o s e r o l e h a s b e e n
consistently ignored.
"Everybody on earth on November 22, 1963, it sometimes seems, was
involved in a plot to assassinate JFK. If all those alleged conspirators—all
of whom have denied the allegations—were there, it's lucky anyone got out
of Dealey Plaza alive."1
These were the words of one journalist, Terry Catchpole, reflecting on
the controversy over Oliver Stone's Hollywood all-star extravaganza JFK
and of widespread interest in the JFK assassination in general.
Catchpole cites groups often alleged to have been involved in some way
with the JFK assassination—although this summary by no means is
complete (ignoring, in particular, the CIA as an institution):
 Cuban Communists
 Cuban Anti-Communists
 Military-Industrial Complex
 A Renegade CIA Clique
 Organized Crime
 Soviet Communists
 The FBI
 The Mastermind
This final theory, according to Catchpole, is that "the Mafia had actually
taken over the Howard Hughes organization from the bedridden recluse, and
it was run by a "Mr. X," possibly [organized crime syndicate
boss].Meyer.Lansky." 2
Each and every one of these theories, of course, has its own advocates.
Each and every one of these theories, additionally, has been intertwined with
[2] Final Judgment 63
one or more of the others. And now, the advent of Stone's film, coupled
with the subsequent r elease of several new books on the
assassination—most notably Mark Lane's Plausible Denial, which proved
CIA complicity in the president's murder—has brought new interest in the
controversy.
Perhaps some day there will even be a book which places the blame for
the assassination on, as New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison used
to say, "retired circus clowns." However, it was not retired circus clowns
who killed John F. Kennedy, at least so far as we know.
ISRAEL'S CENTRAL ROLE
This book contends that Israel's Mossad was a primary player alongside
the CIA and the Lansky Crime Syndicate in the JFK assassination
conspiracy and that, in fact, the Mossad's role was probably the driving
force behind the conspiracy. It is clearly Israel and its Mossad—as we shall
document—which is the one force which ties all of the most frequently
mentioned alleged conspirators together: the CIA, the anti-Castro Cuban
forces, organized crime and, most specifically—and more significantly than
the so-called Mafia—the Meyer Lansky Crime Syndicate. The connections
are far more sinister and go far deeper than most might imagine. In Final
Judgment we will examine all of this in detail.
ISRAEL'S MOTIVE
Israel, as we shall see, had a very distinct motive not only to orchestrate
Kennedy's removal from office but also to elevate his successor, Lyndon B.
Johnson into the White House. As did, of course, many of those other
elements in the conspiracy that resulted in Kennedy's murder.
Never once, however—at least in standard assassination research—has
the suggestion that Israel had a hand in Kennedy's murder ever been uttered.
Yet, the evidence is there—evidence that has lain dormant or has otherwise
been ignored or gone unrecognized for its significance.
Indeed, virtually all of the facts brought together in Final Judgment
have been drawn from recognized volumes in the field of JFK assassination
research and in other standard sources.
One former member of Congress, Rep. Paul Findley (R-Ill.) himself
has publicly suggested that Israel indeed may have had a hand in the JFK
assassination. In the March 1992 issue of The Washington Report on
Middle East Affairs, Findley points out:
"It is interesting—but not surprising—to note that in all the words
written and uttered about the Kennedy assassination, Israel's intelligence
agency, the Mossad, has never been mentioned. And yet a Mossad motive is
obvious." 3
Findley lays out the motive—a motive that we outline in detail in the
pages of this book: "Israeli leaders never trusted the Kennedys. They were
64 The Tie That Binds [3]
aware that when President Kennedy's father, Joseph Kennedy, was
ambassador to Great Britain, he frequently praised Nazi Germany.
"During John Kennedy's campaign for the presidency, a group of New
York Jews had privately offered to meet his campaign expenses if he would
let them set his Middle East policy. He did not agree . . . As president, he
provided only limited support to Israel.
"On the other hand, Lyndon Johnson had demonstrated his strong
support for Israel throughout his political career. The government of Israel,
therefore, had every reason to believe that its interests would be better
advanced with Johnson as president. And indeed they were. After Kennedy's
death, the United States, for the first time, began large-scale shipments of
arms to Israel .. .
"Certainly, the Mossad possessed the resources to carry out an
assassination almost any place on earth."
Findley concludes: "Am I accusing the Mossad of complicity?
Absolutely not. I have no evidence of such. My point is simply this: on
this question, as on almost all others, American reporters and commentators
cannot bring themselves to cast Israel in an unfavorable light—despite the
obvious fact that Mossad complicity is as plausible as any of the other
theories." 4
In these pages we will provide Congressman Findley and the readers
with the evidence. We will let the readers make the final judgment.
`SOME SUBTERRANEAN ASSOCIATION'
One leading assassination investigator, Carl Oglesby, recently
summarized his own decades of personal research. "It was an inside job," he
said, "something on the order of the enterprise which we discovered in the
Iran/Contra scandal.
"At the same time," he added as a caveat, "I cannot bring myself to
believe that an institution such as the CIA [for example] could in any
formal and regular sense decide to kill the president.
"So what I am talking about is an off-the-shelf, off-the-books kind of
action that must have been put together by some subterranean association
cutting through not only the CIA, but to a certain extent the FBI the Dallas
police and the military-intelligence agencies themselves." 5
Final Judgment suggests that it was Israel's Mossad that
was indeed the very "subterranean association" that did cut
through the various entities which found themselves brought
into the JFK assassination conspiracy.
In a recent interview another respected JFK assassination researcher,
Peter Dale Scott, perhaps lends further credence to the theory we are about
to present. Scott believes that there were a variety of forces at work behind
the JFK assassination. He specifically fingers "Lyndon Johnson's backers—
particularly those who had a stake in the military-industrial complex" and "an
intelligence-Mafia connection that included members of the intelligence
community who were involved with military-industrial
[4] Final Judgment 65
corporate backers of Lyndon Johnson, who in turn were involved with Mafia
people. At a minimum," according to Scott, "you have to consider this triad of
forces." Note Scott's words: "at a minimum." 6
This, of course, suggests that other forces were indeed involved. Final
Judgment not only suggests that it was, in fact, Israel's Mossad, but also
clearly pinpoints the Mossad connection.
`OTHER INTELLIGENCE NETWORKS'
Scott himself goes one step further, but without naming the Mossad.
He says, "In my research, the most suggestive clues have emerged from a
relatively restricted circle within what I call the dark quadrant of suppressed
relationships or deep politics: a circle within the tripartite world of first,
CIA, defense, and other intelligence networks; second, the underworld of
organized crime and anti-Castro Cubans; and third, corporate interests with
links both to the intelligence and defense communities and also to organized
crime.
"The key," says Scott, "is that all those in this dark quadrant would
have resisted its exposure whether or not they were key plotters." 7 Final
Judgment concurs with Scott's judgment. Again, note Scott's words: "CIA,
defense, and other intelligence networks."
As we demonstrate—and which is not really so very secret—it is
Israel's Mossad—above and beyond any other intelligence network—foreign
or domestic—that has been unusually close (almost incestuously so) to the
CIA in a variety of international ventures.
THE MEDIA'S ROLE
What's more, we go one step beyond Scott's conclusions. Final
Judgment points out the highly significant role of the American media in its
role in the cover-up. The cover-up of the JFK assassination conspiracy could
never have succeeded without the support of a willing media. The fact is that
Israel and its supporters in the American media have a long and intimate
relationship. Until recent years—and even still today—criticism of Israel and
its misdeeds have been verboten in the Establishment media, as noted
previously in the comments by Congressman Findley.
'FALSE FLAGS'
We will illustrate, by several notable examples, how primary friends of
Israel in the American media have been key players in floating "false leads"
(or "false flags" in intelligence jargon) that have directed attention and
suspicion elsewhere. This is a phenomenon never before examined in
studying the JFK assassination and which explains, in large part, why the
real truth about the assassination conspiracy has remained hidden for so
long, all of the research notwithstanding.
66 The Tie That Binds [5]
(In Chapter 3 we will examine numerous instances wherein Israel's
Mossad itself utilized "false flags" to cover up its own role in a wide variety
of assassination conspiracies and crimes around the globe.)
A CHANGE IN MIDDLE EAST POLICY
Professor Scott, like many JFK researchers, has long focused on the
change of policy toward Vietnam that took place as a result of John F.
Kennedy's assassination. He also points out that there was, additionally, a
change of policy toward Latin America.
However, in these pages, we demonstrate beyond question that the most
profound—and, in retrospect, probably most lasting and unusual—reversal
in the conduct of American foreign policy was in the arena of U.S.-Israeli
relations. These facts, unfortunately, have been neglected by even the most
serious researchers into the JFK assassination.
THE THEORIES MESH
The purpose of Final Judgment, you see, is not to prove, once and for
all, that there was indeed a conspiracy to assassinate President John F.
Kennedy and to perpetuate a cover-up of that conspiracy. That has been
proven, time and again, in an endless array of books, monographs, magazine
articles—even in the pages of several novels.
Instead, Final Judgment takes the commonly accepted theories one step
further and binds them all together—all too well—in a frightening scenario
that is surely so very close to the truth.
Many desired JFK's removal from the presidency. However, as we note
throughout these pages, research over the years has—for a variety of
reasons—ignored the bitter conflict between the State of Israel and John F.
Kennedy.
Likewise, researchers have—again, for a variety of reasons, innocent
and otherwise—ignored the very close connections between Israel and each
of the diverse groups all of whom had a reason to want to end John F.
Kennedy's presidency: the Meyer Lansky Organized Crime Syndicate, the
Mafia, the anti-Castro Cubans, and the CIA.
In Final Judgment, we present a theory that, in the free market of ideas,
deserves consideration—controversial though it will be.
John F. Kennedy himself put it best: "A nation that is afraid to let its
people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is
afraid of its people."
What all of the commonly alleged conspiracies are tied together by is
the one strand that has been consistently ignored—and that, of course, is the
Israeli connection.
In Final Judgment we will consider this (unfortunately) long-ignored
hidden aspect of history.
What Final Judgment proves is not only that Israel had reason to
conspire against JFK, but that Israel was in a central position to not only
[6] Final Judgment 67
coordinate the assassination scheme (and did) but also the subsequent coverup—
all of this in close collaboration with its co-conspirators in the CIA
and organized crime—most specifically those elements intimately linked to
syndicate boss Meyer Lansky.
Israel—as much as the Mafia or the CIA, for example—stood to benefit
greatly from the death of America's 35th president—and did, JFK's
assassination set the stage for Israel to become a major power.
Research into the Kennedy assassination is most difficult, if only
because the literature is so immense, the web so tangled, and the surfeit of
theories and potential conspirators so seemingly unending. What's more,
some assassination researchers have latched onto their own unique theories
and, as a consequence, have failed to look elsewhere—in the direction of
Israel, for example. With all of this in mind, let us proceed on the basis that
there are certain areas of agreement.
GENERALLY ACCEPTED CONCLUSIONS
Our final judgment—outlined in these pages—rests on a foundation
composed of the following generally accepted conclusions about the nature
of the JFK assassination conspiracy:
 That there was a conspiracy to kill John F. Kennedy;
 That the conspiracy itself involved elements of the U.S. intelligence
community, the CIA in particular;
 That Organized Crime figures played a major part in the conspiracy;
 That anti-Castro Cubans were actively participating in the conspiracy,
at the urging of and/or manipulation by the CIA and elements of Organized
Crime;
 That somehow Lee Harvey Oswald (wittingly or unwittingly) was
brought into the conspiracy and that the conspirators planted false evidence
to link Oswald with Fidel Castro and the Soviets;
 That Oswald was involved in some manner of U.S. intelligence
activity, even if he was unaware those activities were sponsored or
manipulated by some element of the U.S. intelligence community.
 That Jack Ruby was either an active participant in the assassination
conspiracy itself or was used in some fashion to manipulate Oswald prior to
the assassination of JFK;
 That Ruby was actively involved in organized crime activities and that
he was, as a consequence of that involvement, also linked with organized
crime activities that operated in conjunction (or ran parallel) with U.S.
intelligence community activities.
 That the Central Intelligence Agency was cognizant of the activities of
both Oswald and Ruby and certainly manipulated both;
 That Oswald was executed by Jack Ruby for the purpose of silencing
Oswald forever;
 That a major cover-up of the JFK assassination conspiracy was
undertaken following the events in Dallas;
68 The Tie That Binds [7]
 That the cover-up involved elements of the federal government
(including the CIA);
 That the Warren Commission and the House Assassinations
Committee were deliberate participants in the cover-up;
 That the cover-up conspiracy was conducted for a wide variety of
motivations—both ostensibly "patriotic" and otherwise—including—but not
limited to:
a) burying intelligence community connections to the assassination
conspiracy;
b) protecting Organized Crime elements involved;
c) preventing hostilities between the United States and foreign nations
(whether it be the Soviet Union or Castro's Cuba); and
d) resolving questions about the assassination in the public's mind,
both here and abroad.
 That the Controlled Media actively encouraged and/or participated in
the cover-up due to its links to the CIA, the intelligence community in
general, and Organized Crime.
This is the basis upon which the research for this volume was
undertaken. Upon this foundation Final Judgment ties together all of the
facts and shows how the State of Israel and its spy agency, the Mossad,
collaborated with not only the CIA but also key elements in Organized
Crime and in the anti-Castro Cuban community in order to orchestrate the
assassination of John F. Kennedy and the cover-up.
THE EVIDENCE IS THERE
Some of the facts presented—while not necessarily "new"—have been
available to researchers for decades. However, many researchers, regrettably,
have not been looking in the right direction. That, of course, is not their
fault. Additional information—particularly in regard to Kennedy's difficult
relations with Israel and how U.S.-Israeli relations changed drastically as a
result of JFK's murder—has really only recently come into the public
forum. In Final Judgment we will explore this information in detail. It is
this information—long unavailable to even the most dedicated researchers—
that ties all of the previous data together.
The remarkable scenario presented in Final Judgment logically
incorporates all of the commonly-accepted theories into one broadly
encompassing theory that not only makes sense but which brings the
diverse elements in the conspiracy together full circle. It is for this reason
that Final Judgment truly lives up to its name.
The theory presented in the pages of Final Judgment has been greeted
with the charge of "anti-Semitism"—a standard attack directed upon any
utterance even vaguely critical of Israel and its misdeeds.
However, the author leaves it up to the basic honesty and openmindedness
of the readers to determine whether or not the theory presented in
this volume makes sense.
[8] Final Judgment 69
WHAT HAPPENED . . .
Here, in essence, is the basis of the theory presented and documented—
sometimes in excruciating detail—in the pages which follow.
 That during his presidency, John F. Kennedy alienated three major
international power blocs: the American CIA, Organized Crime, and Israel
and its American lobby.
 That in each case, Kennedy's continued tenure in the White House
was perceived by each of these power groups as a threat to its very existence.
 That each of these major international power blocs was
closely intertwined with the others, often on several levels.
 That when Kennedy's presence in the White House became
so intolerable that these forces came together in a wide-ranging conspiracy that
resulted in JFK's murder.
 That the power of these forces, together, over the American
media played a vital role in the assassination conspiracy cover-up.
Final Judgment explores in detail the little-known behind-thescenes
war between John F. Kennedy and Israel and documents how U.S.
policy toward Israel and the Arab world underwent a drastic reversal upon JFK's
assassination.
This book also documents not only the intimate collaboration
between the Meyer Lansky Crime Syndicate and the Mossad, but also the
similar incestuous relationship between the Lansky syndicate and Israel's
allies in the CIA. We will also focus on the singularly important role of
Meyer Lansky's positioning in the joint Mossad-CIA-Organized Crime nexus
that came together in the JFK assassination.
Lansky's own role in the JFK assassination conspiracy has been
continually ignored or otherwise suppressed—even by those very
"authorities" who claim that "The Mafia Killed JFK." As we shall see,
Meyer Lansky was, in fact, the real "overlord" of the international crime
syndicate; many of the "Mafia bosses" who allegedly masterminded the JFK
assassination were, indeed, Lansky henchmen, front-men, underlings.
The basic facts have virtually all been published in previous works
on the JFK assassination and in other studies on the subjects of U.S-Israeli
relations, international intelligence intrigue, and organized crime.
It is only now, however, that all of the facts have been finally placed
together in a neatly-constructed jigsaw puzzle that presents the whole picture
in its rather simple entirety. It is not, as we shall see, as complex as it
might at first appear. However, the bottom line is this: it is clear that not
only did Israel have a motive for participating in the JFK assassination, but
that it indeed did play a critical part in the conspiracy.
A THEORY OF POWER POLITICS AT WORK
The conspiracy outlined here was a criminal enterprise involving power
politics in its highest—and lowest—forms. This volume:
70 The Tie That Binds [9]
 Presents international intrigue above and beyond the then-crumbling
U.S.-Israel relationship;
 Examines the tragic reality of American involvement in Southeast
Asia—which Kennedy sought to prevent—the final result of which
guaranteed:
(a) Israel's dominance in Middle East affairs as the United States became
bogged down in Asia;
(b) Southeast Asian drug profits for Meyer Lansky's global drug racket
(operating in conjunction with the Mossad's ally, the CIA); and
(c) Multi-billion dollar profits in arms production for the backers of
Israel's ally—Lyndon Johnson—in the military-industrial complex;
 Explains how the CIA—so closely tied to Israel—was able to
continue its subterranean covert activities in Southeast Asia and elsewhere
after the elimination of JFK;
 Illustrates how certain special interests (the anti-Castro Cuban
movement and Organized Crime) could be manipulated by another special
interest—the CIA-Mossad alliance—in pursuit of a mutual goal: ending
John F. Kennedy's presidency;
 Points out why the various elements involved in the conspiracy were
working in conjunction with one another in covering up the facts about the
assassination;
 Details how the Controlled Media—long a primary collaborator with
the Lansky-linked pro-Israel lobby in the United States—promoted the
Warren Commission's "lone nut" solution of the JFK murder and sought to
silence critics of the "official" explanation;
 Reveals how the anger and disgust of one powerful man—in this
instance, David Ben-Gurion of Israel—could result in a vendetta carried out
by means of a far-reaching conspiracy orchestrated through his own sphere
of influence;
 Describes how key American political power brokers—such as J.
Edgar Hoover and, most particularly, Lyndon B. Johnson (both connected to
the Israeli-linked Lansky Crime Syndicate)—were able to maintain their
influence—and expand it correspondingly—upon the death of John F.
Kennedy and
 Demonstrates how low-level operatives such as Lee Harvey Oswald
and Jack Ruby—both with a diverse array of strange connections—were
utilized by conspirators at the top.
All of this taken together makes the conspiracy outlined here one that is
not only logical, but one that ties all of the most prominently mentioned
conspirators together in a package that is all too uncomfortably neat.
HOW THIS BOOK IS ORGANIZED: A READER'S GUIDE
In order to outline the conspiracy described in the pages of Final
Judgment, it is necessary, from the beginning, to consider that conspiracy in
its historical context. A wide array of players were involved and their
integral links with one another and with the diverse forces behind the
[10] Final Judgment 71
conspiracy make it prudent, at this juncture, to provide the reader with an
overview of the material about to be presented. Here, however, is a
summary overview of the chapters which follow and which presents the
necessary outline of the approach we take in laying the groundwork upon
which we reach our final judgment:
THE MOSSAD
 Chapter 2 explores the accusation that Israel's Mossad did indeed
consider assassinating an American president perceived hostile to Israel—in
this instance, George Bush—and ponders the likelihood that the Mossad did,
in fact, previously collaborate in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
 Chapter 3 reviews the Mossad's historic use of so-called "false flags"
in its worldwide acts of terrorism and assassination, leaving others (such as
the Mafia," "right wing extremists," and "Arab terrorists") to take the
blame. The point driven home is that the Mossad could have done likewise
in the JFK assassination.
JFK, LBJ AND ISRAEL
 Chapter 4 examines the initial tactical alliance—and then enmity—
between John F. Kennedy and his father Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy not
only with the Israeli lobby but also the Israeli-linked Meyer Lansky
Organized Crime Syndicate.
 Chapter 5 reviews, in depth, the growing conflict between President
John F. Kennedy and the state of Israel—facts which have never been
seriously examined by students of the JFK assassination.
 Chapter 6 outlines how the assassination of John F. Kennedy
permitted the Lansky Crime Syndicate- and Israeli lobby-linked Lyndon B.
Johnson (a favorite of Israel's allies in the CIA) to assume the presidency
and begin an incredible reversal of JFK's Middle East policies, thereby
strengthening Israel's global hand.
This important chapter also demonstrates how Israel, the CIA and the
Lansky Syndicate stood to benefit from American involvement in the
Vietnam War—a little explored aspect of that unfortunate period.
MEYER LANSKY, ISRAEL AND THE CIA
 Chapter 7 is a comprehensive overview of organized crime figure
Meyer Lansky, covering his preeminent role in global criminal enterprises
and his links not only to Israel's Mossad, but also American intelligence.
 Chapter 8 explores the close relationship between Israel's Mossad and
the American CIA, and particularly the important role of the Mossad's chief
CIA ally, James Angleton, the CIA's chief of counterintelligence.
 Chapter 9 reviews the conflicts between the administration of John F.
Kennedy and the CIA, Israel's primary link in the world of international
72 The Tie That Binds [11]
intelligence. Also considered are the connections of a number of key CIA
figures (linked to the JFK assassination) with Israel.
 Chapter 10 sheds important light upon Meyer Lansky's ties with New
Orleans Mafia chieftain Carlos Marcello (often fingered as a key conspirator
in the JFK assassination) and upon Lansky's preeminence over the Italian
Mafia in organized crime activities.
 Chapter 11 reviews Lansky's involvement with Mafia figures Johnny
Rosselli and Santo Trafficante Jr., and Sam Giancana and explores all-new
revelations about the ties between the Chicago "Mafia" and Israel's
intelligence service.
 Chapter 12 is a detailed exploration of Meyer Lansky's predominant
role in the international drug racket and how his criminal syndicate worked
hand-in-glove with the CIA in these international ventures.
 Chapter 13 considers a little known angle in the JFK assassination
conspiracy: the role of Lansky's West Coast henchman, Mickey Cohen. This
chapter documents Cohen's close relationship with Israeli intelligence and
connects the murder of actress Marilyn Monroe, with Cohen's pro-Israel
activities.
 Chapter 14 is a review of the career of Jack Ruby as an errand boy for
both the CIA and the Meyer Lansky Organized Crime Syndicate and his
activities connected with the JFK assassination. And yes, there's even
evidence linking Ruby to Israel.
PERMINDEX AND THE FRENCH CONNECTION
 Chapter 15, aptly entitled, "The Twain Shall Meet," demonstrates that
it was through the little-explored Rome-based intelligence operation known
as Permindex that the Israeli Mossad-CIA alliance and the Lansky Crime
Syndicate came together and utilized their joint resources to orchestrate the
JFK assassination, bringing about the conspiracy documented in previous
chapters full circle.
 Chapter 16 documents a little-known libel trial in which a jury
concluded that the CIA had a hand in the assassination of John F. Kennedy
and examines the role that James Jesus Angleton, Israel's ally at the CIA
played in the conspiracy. Most importantly, we will examine the oftmentioned
(but little-understood) so-called "French connection" to the JFK
assassination conspiracy which was, in fact, also the Israeli connection.
 Chapter 17 dissects the role that CIA and Mossad assets in the media
played in distorting the public's perception of the JFK assassination
conspiracy and how they pointed the finger of blame elsewhere.
 Chapter 18 is a new look at the assassination of Senator Robert F.
and how RFK's murder ties together not only the CIA, Israel's Mossad, and
the Meyer Lansky syndicate, but also the Iranian secret police, SAVAK
(itself a creation of the CIA and the Mossad).
 The concluding chapter constitutes an overview outlining the nature of
the conspiracy that resulted in the JFK assassination.
[12] Final Judgment 73
Then, what follows are ten uniquely diverse appendices that shed new
light on a wide variety of little-known aspects of the JFK assassination
conspiracy and cover-up that have been distorted or misinterpreted or
otherwise forgotten.
SOME LITTLE-KNOWN SIDELIGHTS . . .
 Appendix One considers the covert CIA career of George
Herbert Walker Bush and examines his integral links with several of the key
players in the JFK assassination conspiracy, examining that critical
question, "WhereWas George?"
 Appendix Two reviews Lee Harvey Oswald's little-known link to at least
one long-time federal undercover informant who operated in both "right-" and
"left-" wing groups.
 Appendix Three puts to rest, at long last, the theory that "right wing
extremists" were the driving force behind the JFK assassination. The
primary "right wing" figure linked to the assassination was moving in pro-
Israel circles all along. (This appendix will surely open up new vistas for
argument and discussion among "liberal" JFK assassination researchers.)
 Appendix Four discusses a hotly controversial subject that no
other book on the JFK assassination has ever discussed before: the ethnic and
political antecedents of the staff attorneys who handled the day-to-day work of
the Warren Commission "investigation" of the JFK assassination.
This appendix also examines the little-known facts about the
"kingmaker" behind Warren Commission member Gerald R. Ford: a
political power broker with ties to both Israel's Mossad and the Lansky Crime
Syndicate.
 Appendix Five looks into the widely-discussed claim that "The Federal
Reserve Killed JFK." Separating the facts from the myths, this appendix
shows that there's much more to the story than meets the eye.
 Appendix Six takes a look at the strange death of not only former
CIA Director William Colby (himself a critic of Israel) but another highlevel
CIA figure who ran afoul of Israel's Mossad. (Even in both of these
cases there may indeed be a JFK assassination connection.)
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST . . .
 Appendix Seven is the first-ever exposition of the real link between
the JFK assassination and Watergate. Forget anything you've ever heard before
about the "Dallas-Watergate" connection. What you'll read here ties the two
conspiracies together unlike anything you've ever read before.
 Appendix Eight is a special overview of some of the more pertinent
books (along with some of the outrageous ones) that have appeared over the
years about the JFK assassination—a reader's guide to the literature.
 Appendix Nine examines the long-secret collaboration between Israel and
Red China in the arena of nuclear production and addresses the question as to
whether the cancellation (by Lyndon Johnson) of JFK's plans to
74 The Tie That Binds [13]
launch a military attack on Red China's nuclear facilities was a direct
consequence of Israel's role in the JFK assassination conspiracy.
Appendix Ten analyzes the ongoing political crisis in Israel: many
Israelis believe that Israeli intelligence had a hand in the assassination of
Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. If that theory is subject to open
debate in Israel, why can't Americans ponder the possibility that Israeli
intelligence had a hand in the assassination of an American president?
A special supplement to this edition of Final Judgment appears in the
form of what was originally published in a separate volume under the title
Default Judgment. This is a detailed selection of questions addressed to the
author after the initial release of Final Judgment. The answers shed
additional light on many matters discussed in Final Judgment as well as
upon some things that were not addressed.
Our afterword and what may well be our "final word" reflect on the
nature of the continuing cover-up and of how the truth may never really be
told. A special postscript explains the tragic story of how an honest French
diplomat may have died as a result of the r elease of Final
Judgment—another of the strange deaths that came in the wake of the
assassination in Dallas on November 22, 1963.
What appears in these pages, many readers now believe, is a logically
constructed recitation of the facts that lead us to the conclusion that Israel's
Mossad did play an instrumental role in the JFK assassination conspiracy.
REACHING A FINAL JUDGMENT
You be the judge.
You have heard all of the other theories time and again.
This is the one and only book which ties all of those
theories together in a comprehensive summary which makes
ultimate sense.
Read this book and reach your own final judgment.

Chapter Two
Off With His Head:
A Mossad Plot to Kill an American President
Would Israel's Mossad actually consider assassinating an
American president perceived hostile to Israel? A former
Mossad agent says "yes." According to ex-Mossad man Victor
Ostrovsky, the Israeli spy agency hatched a plan to kill
President George Bush.
If President John F. Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy
orchestrated—at least in part—by Israel's spy agency, the Mossad, this
evidently not be the last time that the Mossad planned the assassination of
an American president. According to former Mossad agent, Victor
Ostrovsky, elements of the Mossad were plotting an attempt on the life of
President George Bush. The reason: according to Ostrovsky, Bush was hated
by the Mossad and considered an enemy of Israel.
This amazing revelation was published in the February 1992 edition of
the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. The author of the report was
former Congressman Paul Findley (R-Ill.), himself a prominent critic of
Israel. (Findley's best-selling book, They Dare to Speak Out: People and
Institutions Confront Israel's Lobby, is a classic exposition of the way
Israel's lobby has worked to silence American critics of the foreign nation.)
Findley reported that Ostrovsky had learned through his sources in the
intelligence community that because of President Bush's seeming
intransigence toward Israel's demands, the Mossad had begun coordinating
plans for the assassination of the American president.
Ostrovsky relayed this information to several members of the Canadian
parliament, indicating that the Mossad and not Israel's elected leadership, is
"the real engine of policy in Israel." 8 One of those attending the meeting
with Ostrovsky passed the information on to another former U.S.
Representative, Paul N. (Pete) McCloskey (R-Calif.).
Upon learning of the potential threat to President Bush, ex-
Congressman McCloskey himself flew to Canada where he met with
Ostrovsky. According to Findley: "Ostrovsky impressed McCloskey as a
patriotic Zionist who believes the Mossad is out of control. Ostrovsky told
him the present leadership of the Mossad wants 'to do everything possible
to preserve a state of war between Israel and its neighbors, assassinating
President Bush, if necessary." 9
"He said a public relations campaign is already underway in both Israel
and the United States to 'prepare public acceptance of [vice president] Dan
Quayle as president.' After lengthy discussion during which he became
convinced that Ostrovsky was 'real' and telling the truth, McCloskey took
the next flight to Washington.
76 OffWith His Head [15]
"There he relayed the information to the Secret Service and State
Department, receiving mixed reactions to Ostrovsky's reliability. An officer
of the Navy Department dismissed him simply as a "traitor to Israel."10
AMERICANS KILLED BY ISRAELI INTRIGUE
Findley points out that in his controversial book, By Way of
Deception, the aforementioned Ostrovsky documented a Mossad action
which was "especially shocking to American readers."11 In that instance,
241 U.S. Marines were murdered by a terrorist truck bomb that plowed into
the Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983.
Although Israeli agents learned that the attack was impending, the
Mossad headquarters in Tel Aviv ordered its agents to ignore the threat and
to not alert the American servicemen to the danger. "We are not there [in
Beirut] to protect Americans," the Mossad leaders explained. "They're a big
country. Send only the regular information." According to Ostrovsky, the
"regular information" was "like sending a weather report, unlikely to raise
any particular alarm."12
"Is it conceivable," asks Findley, "that Israel's Mossad might
assassinate George Bush in order to put a more sympathetic man in the
White House? It is well to remember two earlier occasions when Israeli
authorities were willing to sacrifice American lives to serve their own
national interests." 13 Congressman Findley points out two other occasions
where Americans died or otherwise faced extinction at the hands of Israel:
On June 8, 1967, naval and air forces of Israel deliberately—and
without provocation—attacked the American spy ship, the U.S.S. Liberty
killing 34 American sailors and wounding 171 others. It was an attempt to
destroy the ship and its entire crew.
During the October 1973 war, Israeli pilots were ordered to shoot
down an unarmed U.S. reconnaissance plane that was overflying Israel's
secret nuclear bomb development site at Dimona. The plane, however, flew
too high for Israel's would-be assassins to reach.
Assessing the potential threat to President George Bush, Congressman
Findley concludes, "The U.S. Secret Service will be wise to assume the
worst."14
Incredibly enough, at almost the same time Findley's provocative report
first appeared, several unusual events occurred that seemed to give credence
to the allegation that there might indeed be a plot afoot to eliminate George
Bush—if not physically, at least politically. Each of these threatening
incidents took place during President George Bush's January 1992 trip to the
Far East.
The most notable incident, of course, was the President's bizarre public
seizure while dining in the company of the Japanese premier. More than a
few people speculated—privately—that the president might indeed have been
poisoned. This, of course, is speculation, but it is based in reality.
Interestingly, it was while the president was on his Far Eastern junket
that The Washington Post—the daily newspaper of record in the nation's
[16] Final Judgment 77
capitol—inexplicably reversed itself and began publishing a lengthy and
glowing seven-part series hailing Vice President Dan Quayle. Obviously
this seems to be a confirmation of Victor Ostrovsky's claim that
preparations were being made in the United States to make a Dan Quayle
presidency palatable.
The Post's unusual flip-flop was made all the more potent when the
news arrived that the president had been stricken. Quayle, evidently, already
had the Establishment's support if he had been unexpectedly thrust into the
presidency. Oddly, prior to the Post's turn-about, the Washington daily had
been one of Quayle's most persistent critics. However, something quite
alarming also took place during that eventful week.
A SECURITY BREACH
For two days, during President George Bush's visit in Seoul, South
Korea, top-secret information regarding the president's personal
arrangements was inexplicably made available to the public. Incredibly
enough, this was during a period when terrorist alert status was already high.
Security experts believed that if potential presidential assassins had such
action in mind, the security breach would have assisted them tremendously.
According to Robert Snow, a spokesman for the Secret Service, "It wouldn't
be stretching it"15 to suggest that the security lapse could have put Bush in
danger. Blame for the lapse in security was laid at the hands of the U.S.
Information Service (USIS), a branch of the State Department. For their
own part, officials at the State Department were unable to provide an
explanation of the bizarre security breach. The White House refused to
comment.
The USIS published a list of the names and hotel room numbers of the
president's traveling party, which numbered 471 people. (The fact that the
president was staying at the U.S. Ambassador's residence was part of the
information revealed.) Included on the list were the names and room
numbers of 122 Secret Service agents, eight Marine guards, four presidential
stewards and six military aides. Also revealed were security control room
locations in the hotel where the president was staying as well as the names
of the 10 Secret Service agents heading security at the various locations that
the president visited while in Korea. The room assignments of top
administration officials accompanying the president, as well as those of the
thirteen corporate executives along for the trip were also published. 16
This incredible revelation caused suspicion that perhaps there were those
in positions of power who may not necessarily have been concerned for the
president's safety. The tentacles of Israel's Mossad do reach far and wide—
even into the depths of the U.S. State Department. Was this breach of
security a first step in an assassination attempt—perhaps one to be carried out
by some obscure Korean terrorist group acting as a "false flag" for the
Mossad?
Retired Air Force Col. L. Fletcher Prouty, himself an acknowledged
authority on covert operations—including assassination planning—says that
78 OffWith His Head [17]
one of the primary necessary measures in any assassination plot is the
process of removing or otherwise breaching the intended victim's blanket of
security. Prouty, who worked in presidential security with the military,
knows whereof he speaks. According to Prouty, "No one has to direct an
assassination—it happens. The active role is played secretly by permitting it
to happen . . . This is the greatest single clue . . . Who has the power to
call off or reduce the usual security precautions that are always in effect
whenever a president travels?" 17
IF IN 1991, WHY NOT IN 1963?
In his 1994 book, The Other Side of Deception, Mossad man Victor
Ostrovsky finally revealed the specifics of what he had learned of the 1991
Mossad plot against Bush: the Mossad planned to assassinate Bush during
an international conference in Madrid. The Mossad had captured three
Palestinian "extremists" and leaked word to the Spanish police that the
terrorists were on their way to Madrid. The plan was to kill Bush, release
the "assassins" in the midst of the confusion—and kill the Palestinians on
the spot. The crime would be blamed on the Palestinians—another Mossad
"false flag," more about which we will learn in Chapter Three. 18
SOME HISTORICAL SPECULATION
Frankly, there have been those who have suggested, in the wake of the
publication of the first edition of Final Judgment, that President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, in fact, may himself have been the first American
president to die at the hands of the intelligence network that ultimately
evolved into Israel's Mossad. They point out, based on well-documented
historical evidence, that FDR may have been a genuine roadblock in the way
of the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.
It is known that Saudi King Abd al-Aziz Ibn Saud met with FDR on
board a U.S. Navy ship on February 14, 1945 when the American president
was returning from the famous Yalta Conference. There, according to former
American diplomat Richard Curtiss, the Saudi king "exacted assurances from
the President that he would 'do nothing to assist the Jews against the Arabs
and would make no move hostile to the Arab people.'" 19
After that meeting, according to Curtiss, FDR "told friends that in a
few minutes of conversation with the Saudi monarch he learned more about
the Palestine situation than he had learned in all of his previous life. His
new knowledge did not prevent him, however, from authorizing a U.S.
Zionist leader to state that the President still favored a Jewish state and
unrestricted Jewish immigration into Palestine.
"Then, as the Arabs reacted with angry questions, he authorized the
Department of State to reaffirm his pledge to Ibn Saud and other Arab
leaders that there would be prior consultation with the Arabs as well as the
Jews before the U.S. took any action related to Palestine." 20 One week later
FDR was dead.
[18] Final Judgment 79
In fact, two authors known for their devotion to the Zionist
cause—John Loftus and Mark Aarons—have stated candidly that many
friends of Israel do believe that FDR's death was quite fortuitous: "Although
American public opinion was favorable toward Jews, few Zionists trusted
Roosevelt entirely . . . As several leading Zionists admitted, if Roosevelt
had lived, it is unlikely that Israel would ever have been born. They knew
what they were talking about." 21
AN INTERESTING FOOTNOTE IN HISTORY . . .
We could speculate forever about how FDR really died. However, we do
know—based on a very reliable source—that FDR's successor, Harry
Truman, was in fact the target for assassination because he was perceived
hostile to Zionist interests. According to Margaret Truman, daughter of the
late president, the Jewish underground terrorist movement in Palestine
known as the Stern Gang once tried to murder her father.
In a biography of her father Miss Truman discussed the attempt on her
father's life by Puerto Rican nationalists. Then, in a little-noticed, but
highly significant aside she commented: "I learned in the course of my
research for this book that there had been other attempts on Dad's life,
which he never mentioned . . . In the summer of 1947, the so-called Stern
gang of Palestine terrorists tried to assassinate Dad by mail . . ." 22
The Jewish terrorists, it seems, had sent the president letters that had been
tainted with toxic chemicals. Fortunately, the mail was intercepted and no
harm was done. Harry Truman, of course, got the message, though, and
rushed to recognize the state of Israel upon its founding in 1948, despite his
own reservations and those on the part of his diplomatic advisors.
This clumsy attempt to kill Truman is interesting, to say the very
least, and points to a proclivity for political violence on the part of the
Israeli leaders in the Stern Gang whom, it should be pointed out, were the
very individuals who emerged as the leaders of the Mossad following the
establishment of the state of Israel.
A PATTERN OF EVIDENCE . . .
Very clearly, there is strong evidence—indeed a pattern—to suggest that
Israel would indeed consider the assassination of an American president.
With this in mind, let us move forward and examine the evidence which will
lead us toward a final judgment.

Chapter Three
A Bad Habit:
Israel's Use of "False Flags" in Global Terrorism—
Pointing the Finger of Guilt Elsewhere
Researchers in the JFK assassination controversy have
repeatedly pointed out the false leads that continue to appear.
Most believe that Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin,
was indeed what he claimed to be—the patsy—and that false
clues had been laid by the real conspirators to make it appear
a s thoug h Oswa l d wa s an a g ent o f Fi de l Ca s t r o o r the
Soviets or both. The use of such "false flags" by Israel's
Mossad to cover up its own role in worldwide assassination
conspiracies and other criminal activity has been documented
time and again. "Arabs," "the Mafia," "right-wing
extremists," and others have repeatedly taken the fall for
crimes committed by the Mossad or carried out under its
coordination.
The use of "false flag" operations by Israel and its Mossad has been
documented repeatedly since the Jewish State first came into being. This
book contends that Israel and its primary collaborator, the CIA, utilized
insidious "false flags" in orchestrating the assassination of John F. Kennedy
and the subsequent cover-up: "the Mafia," "anti-Castro Cubans," "the
Soviets," "Castro agents" and even "right-wing extremists" have all been
fingered as those responsible for the JFK assassination. But the real hard
evidence points in another direction entirely.
'FORGED TRAILS' AND 'FALSE FLAGS'
One major JFK assassination researcher, Professor Peter Dale Scott, has
described what he called "the brilliance of the assassination plot."23 This
was, according to Scott, "that the conspirators had forged trails to induce a
cover-up." Scott cites a number of instances: "There were, for example,
trails that potentially linked Oswald to Fidel Castro or to the KGB and
Khruschev—a trail that might lead to war.
"Moreover, there was false evidence given to the Secret Service that led
to a group of anti-Castro Cubans in Chicago whose operations had been
authorized indirectly by Bobby Kennedy himself. This is just one of several
trails that might have led in directions that no one wanted to investigate."24
That Israel has had a long and proven record in planting "false flags" is
the subject of discussion in this chapter.
In preparation for our consideration of Israel's role in the JFK
assassination conspiracy, it is worthwhile to first review some of the more
[20] Final Judgment 81
notable instances in which Israel orchestrated assassinations and pinned
those atrocities on innocent parties—"false flags."
In Chapter 2 we noted how former Congressman Paul Findley had cited
two cases in which Israel indicated a willingness to sacrifice American lives
for its own interests: (a) the attack on the U.S.S. Liberty in June of 1967
and (b) the intended attack on an American reconnaissance plane that was
overflying Israel's secret nuclear bomb development site. These incidents are
particularly intriguing in light of what we will ponder in this volume.
The attack on the Liberty—it is generally acknowledged by everyone but
Israel and its defenders—was a deliberate attempt to destroy the Liberty and its
crew and to sink the vessel to the bottom of the Mediterranean. What is
most interesting, however, is the reason behind this bizarre and brutal
attack.
THE U.S.S. LIBERTY—BLAMING THE EGYPTIANS
Israel, in fact, hoped to pin the responsibility on a "false flag"—Egypt—
and draw the United States into the impending 1967 war on the side of
Israel. It is only because the Liberty did not sink and instead was rescued
that the history books don't tell us today that "the Arabs" sunk an American
spy ship and sparked another "Lusitania incident" that forced America to go
to war.
THE NUCLEAR BOMB
The second instance to which Congressman Findley referred is of
special interest inasmuch as the intended attack on an American air force
reconnaissance plane was designed to protect Israel's secret development of
nuclear weaponry. It was Israel's nuclear offensive that led President John F.
Kennedy into the "secret war" with Israel that he conducted with increasing
intensity during the three years of his short-lived presidency.
As we shall see in Chapter 5, it was the very issue of Kennedy's
intransigent opposition to Israel's nuclear arms development that became a
central part of his standoff with Israel and its Mossad. It was this conflict
that played a critical part in setting in final motion the assassination
conspiracy that ended John Kennedy's life.
What follows is an overview of some other notable instances in which
Israel utilized 'false flags" in its international criminal endeavors.
THE LAVON AFFAIR
Perhaps the best-known instance in which Israel used a "false flag" to
cover its own trail was in the infamous Lavon Affair. It was in 1954 that
several Israeli-orchestrated acts of terrorism against British targets in Egypt
were carried out. Blame for the attacks was placed on the Muslim
Brotherhood, which opposed the regime of Egyptian President Gamul
82 A Bad Habit [21]
Abdul-Nasser. However, the truth about the wave of terror can now be
found in a once-secret cable from Colonel Benjamin Givli, the head of
Israel's military intelligence, who outlined the intended purpose behind the
wave of terror:
"[Our goal] is to break the West's confidence in the existing [Egyptian]
regime. The actions should cause arrests, demonstrations, and expressions of
revenge. The Israeli origin should be totally covered while attention should
be shifted to any other possible factor. The purpose is to prevent economic
and military aid from the West to Egypt." 25
Ultimately the truth about Israel's involvement in the affair became
public and Israel was rocked internally in the wake of the scandal.
Competing political elements within Israel used the scandal as a bludgeon
against their opponents. But the truth about Israel's use of a "false flag" had
come to international attention and demonstrated how Israel was indeed
willing to needlessly endanger innocent lives as part of its grand political
strategy to expand its influence in the Middle East.
BLAMING 'RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS'
A shadowy "right wing" group known as "Direct Action" was accused
of the attack on Goldenberg's Deli in Paris on August 9, 1982. Six people
died and 22 were injured. The leader of "Direct Action" was one Jean-Marc
Rouillan. Rouillan had been operating in the Mediterranean under the cover
name of "Sebas" and had been repeatedly linked to the Mossad. All
references to Rouillan's Mossad links were deleted from the official reports
issued at the time.
However, the Algerian national news service—which has ties to French
intelligence—blamed the Mossad for Rouillan's activities. Angry French
intelligence officers were believed to have leaked this information to the
Algerians. Several top French security officials quit in protest over this coverup
of Mossad complicity in Rouillan's crimes. 26 However, other Mossadorchestrated
false flag operations also took place on French soil.
On October 3, 1980 a synagogue on Copernicus Street was bombed in
Paris. Four bystanders were killed. Nine were injured. The media frenzy
which followed the incident was worldwide. Reports held that "right wing
extremists" were responsible. Yet, of all of the "right wing extremists" held for
questioning, none was arrested. In fact, all were released.
In the upper echelons of French intelligence, however, the finger of
suspicion was pointed at the Mossad. According to one report: "On April 6,
1979, the same Mossad terror unit now suspected of the Copernicus carnage
blew up the heavily guarded plant of CNIM industries at La Seyne-sur-Mer,
near Toulon, in southeast France, where a consortium of French firms was
building a nuclear reactor for Iraq.
"The Mossad salted the site of the CNIM bomb blast with 'clues'
followed up with anonymous phone calls to police—suggesting that the
sabotage was the work of a 'conservative' environmentalist Troup—'the
most pacific and harmless people on earth' as one source put it." 27
[22] Final Judgment 83
BLAMING THE CORSICAN MAFIA
 On June 28, 1978, Israeli agents exploded a bomb under a small
passenger car in the Rue Saint Anne, killing Mohammed Boudia, an
organizer for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Immediately
afterward, Paris police received anonymous phone calls accusing Boudia of
involvement in narcotics deals and attributing his murder to the Corsican
Mafia. A thorough investigation subsequently established that Mossad
special-action agents were responsible for the terrorist killing.
BLAMING THE NEO-NAZIS
 In October, 1976 the same Mossad unit kidnapped two West German
students named Brigette Schulz and Thomas Reuter from their Paris hotel.
Planted "clues" and anonymous phone calls made it appear that a Bavarian
"neo-nazi" formation had executed the abduction. In fact, French
intelligence established that the two German youths had been secretly flown
to Israel, drugged, tortured, coerced into a false "confession of complicity" in
PLO activities, and then anonymously incarcerated in one of the Israeli
government's notorious political prisons.
BLAMING THE SOUTH KOREANS
 In February 1977 a German-born, naturalized U.S. citizen named
William Jahnke arrived in Paris for some secretive business meetings. He
soon vanished, leaving no trace. Paris police were anonymously informed
that Jahnke had been involved in a high-level South Korean bribery affair
and "eliminated" when the deal went sour. A special team of investigators
from SDECE, the leading French intelligence agency, eventually determined
that Jahnke had been "terminated" by the Mossad, which suspected him of
selling secret information to the Libyans. Along with other details of this
sordid case, the SDECE learned that Jahnke had been "fingered" to the
Mossad by his own former employer, the CIA.28
BLAMING THE LIBYANS
One of Israel's most outrageous "false flag" operations involved a wild
propaganda story aimed at discrediting Libyan leader Muamar Qaddafi—one
of Israel's favorite enemies. In the early months of the administration of
President Ronald Reagan, the American media began heavily promoting a
story to the effect that a "Libyan hit squad" was in the United States for the
express purpose of assassinating Reagan. This inflamed public sentiment
against Libya and there were repeated calls for blood.
Suddenly, however, the "hit squad" stories vanished. In fact, it was
ultimately discovered that the source of the story was one Manucher
Ghorbanifar, a former Iranian SAVAK (secret police) agent with close ties
84 A Bad Habit [23]
to the Mossad. Even The Washington Post acknowledged that the CIA
itself believed that Ghorbanifar was a liar who "had made up the hit-squad
story in order to cause problems for one of Israel's enemies." 29
The Los Angeles Times itself had already blown the whistle on Israel's
scare stories. "Israeli intelligence, not the Reagan administration," reported
the Times, "was a major source of some of the most dramatic published
reports about a Libyan assassination team allegedly sent to kill President
Reagan and other top U.S. officials . . . Israel, which informed sources said
has 'wanted an excuse to go in and bash Libya for a longtime,' may be
trying to build American public support for a strike against [Qaddafi], these
sources said." 30
In other words, Israel had been promoting the former SAVAK agent,
Ghorbanifar, to official Washington as a reliable source. In fact, he was a
Mossad disinformation operative waving a "false flag" to mislead America.
This was yet another Israeli scheme to blame Libya for its own misdeeds,
this time using one "false flag" (Iran's SAVAK) to lay the blame on another
"false flag" (Libya). (In Chapter 18 we shall see yet another SAVAK crime
carried out on behalf of Israel and its allies in the CIA.)
BLAMING LIBYA AGAIN
Israel's Mossad was almost certainly responsible for the bombing of the
La Belle discotheque in West Berlin on April 5, 1986. However, claims
were made that there was "irrefutable" evidence that the Libyans were
responsible. A U.S. serviceman was killed. President Ronald Reagan
responded with an attack on Libya.
However, intelligence insiders believed that Israel's Mossad had
concocted the phony "evidence" to "prove" Libyan responsibility. West
Berlin police director Manfred Ganschow, who took charge of the
investigation, cleared the Libyans, saying, "This is a highly political case.
Some of the evidence cited in Washington may not be evidence at all,
merely assumptions supplied for political reasons." 31
BLAMING THE SYRIANS
On April 18, 1986 one Nezar Hindawi, a 32 year old Jordanian was
arrested in London after security guards found that one of the passengers
boarding an Israeli plane bound for Jerusalem, Ann Murphy, 22, was
carrying a square, flat sheet of plastic explosive in the double bottom of her
carry-on bag. Miss Murphy told security men that the detonator (disguised
as a calculator) had been given to her by her finance, Hindawi. He was
charged with attempted sabotage and attempted murder.
Word was leaked that Hindawi had confessed and claimed that he had
been hired by Gen. Mohammed Al-Khouli, the intelligence director of the
Syrian air force. Also implicated were others including the Syrian
Ambassador in London. The French authorities warned the British Prime
[24] Final Judgment 85
Minister that there was more to the case than met the eye—that is, Israeli
involvement. This was later confirmed in reports in the Western press. 32
BLAMING THE PLO
In 1970, King Hussein of Jordan was provided with incriminating
intelligence that suggested the Palestine Liberation Organization was
plotting to murder him and seize power in his nation. Infuriated, Hussein
mobilized his forces for what has become known as the 'Black September'
purge of the PLO. Thousands of Palestinians living in Jordan were rounded
up, some of the leaders were tortured, and in the end, masses of refugees
were driven from Jordan to Lebanon.
New data, coming to light after the murder of two leading Mossad
operatives in Larnaka, Cyprus suggested that the entire operation had been a
Mossad covert action, led by one of its key operatives, Sylvia Roxburgh.
She contrived an affair with King Hussein and served as the linchpin for a
major Mossad coup designed to destabilize the Arabs. 33
In 1982, just when the PLO had abandoned the use of terrorism, the
Mossad spread disinformation about "terror attacks" on Israeli settlements
along the northern border in order to justify a full-scale military invasion of
Lebanon. Years later, even leading Israeli spokesmen, such as former
Foreign Minister Abba Eban, admitted that the reports of "PLO terrorism"
had been contrived by the Mossad. 34
It is also worth noting that the attempted assassination—in London—of
Israeli Ambassador to England, Shlomo Argov, was initially blamed upon
the PLO.
The attempted assassination was cited by Israel as one excuse for its
bloody 1982 incursion into Lebanon. In fact, the diplomat in question was
considered one of Israel's "doves" and inclined toward a friendly disposition of
Israel's longtime conflict with the PLO. He was the least likely target of PLO
wrath. What's more, one of the suspects in the crime was found carrying a
"hit list" which actually included the name of the head of the PLO office in
London. 35 Thus, it appears that the assassination attempt was carried out
by the Mossad—under yet another "false flag"—for two purposes: (a)
elimination of a domestic "peacenik" considered friendly toward the
Palestinians; and (b) pinning yet another crime on the Palestine Liberation
Organization.
WHY FRAME OSWALD AS A 'PRO-CASTRO AGITATOR'?
These instances cited here are but a handful of Mossad-orchestrated
"false flag" operations blamed on a wide variety of alleged "suspects." The
evidence that we shall be examining in Final Judgment suggests that the
assassination of John F. Kennedy was yet another "false flag" conspiracy by
Israel's Mossad and its collaborators in the American CIA.
We now know, based upon years of study by numerous JFK
assassination researchers, that prior to the JFK assassination, the accused
86 A Bad Habit [25]
assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was being set up as a patsy. Indeed, Oswald's
activities were presented as proof that a "pro-Castro agitator" had been the
"lone nut" behind the president's assassination.
If anything—we should note at this juncture—Lee Harvey Oswald's
identity as a "pro-Castro agitator"—the role he played prior to the JFK
assassination—was tailor-made for (or, perhaps we should say, tailor-made
by) the CIA and its allies in the Mossad. What few JFK assassination
researchers have noted (or perhaps even understood) was that Fidel Castro's
Cuba had long been hostile to Israel and the cause of Zionism. Thus, both
the Mossad and the CIA would find a "pro-Castro agitator" an ideal patsy.
In a lengthy essay the Castro government published in the November 4,
1979 edition of Granma—an official newspaper—the Cuban Marxists
critiqued Israel and Zionism. Castro's newspaper said, in part:
"The Zionists never did, and never will, forgive the Soviet state and its
Leninist Party . . . because the Bolsheviks implemented a correct policy that
incorporated the talents and efforts of the Soviet Jews into the tasks of
building a new society and thus demonstrated the class origins of
discrimination and anti-Semitism, breaking with the past and providing a
genuine solution to the Jewish problem, a solution which was not and could
never be a massive exodus to Palestine.
"With the outbreak of the cold war the Zionists collaborated in all the
subversive and diversionary activities against the USSR and other socialist
countries. The secret services of the Zionist state of Israel coordinated their
spy activities with the CIA. And to complete the picture there is the Zionist
counter-revolutionary action against the national liberation movements.
"The Zionists became a power and succeeded in establishing their own
state in 1948. Now their task is to defend oil routes, protect all the interests
of U.S. imperialism and block the advance of the Arab revolution. Neither
the machinations of Zionist counterrevolution, nor Israeli arms, can hold
back the victorious march of the peoples of the world." 36
These are fighting words, to say the least, and do explain perhaps why
those who were responsible for framing Lee Harvey Oswald would have
selected his profile as a "pro-Castro agitator." The profile would satisfy both
the hard-line anti-communists and the Zionists.
In subsequent years, as the initial cover story that Oswald was a pro-
Castro agitator began to unravel and new fallback targets have been named—
primarily "the Mafia." It was the Mossad and its allies in the CIA and in the
controlled American media who have been doing all the fingering. Everybody
being blamed by the Mossad and its CIA allies were implicated and
everybody, as a consequence, had a stake in the cover-up.
JFK AND SECRET DEALS
To achieve the presidency in 1960, John F. Kennedy was forced to cut
secret deals—behind the scenes—with a variety of powerful forces intricately
linked to Israel. In Chapter 4 we shall examine the history of those deals and
how they played a part in the JFK assassination conspiracy.
