Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and President John F. Kennedy (together at left) became embroiled in a bitter conflict over Israel’s determination to assemble a nuclear arsenal. The conflict led to Ben-Gurion’s abrupt resignation in June of 1963 and set the stage for a role by Israel’s intelligence agency in JFK’s assassination. The same forces linked to the web of intrigue against JFK were also involved in Israeli-sponsored plots against French Pres- ident Charles DeGaulle (at right with Ben-Gurion) who infuriated Israel by giving indepen- dence to Arab Algeria and by reversing French support for Israel’s nuclear program.

The JFK assassination plot (and the plots against DeGaulle) were orchestrated and funded through an international corporate body known as Permindex, a shell corporation which functioned as an asset of Israel’s intelligence agency, the Mossad. Shown above is the founding meeting of Permindex. The driving force behind Permindex was the Geneva-based Banque De Credit International (BCI), founded by Rabbi Tibor Rosenbaum (inset, right), a financier and arms procurement officer for the Mossad. Rosenbaum’s bank also served as the chief money laundry for the crime syndicate of international mob boss, Meyer Lansky (inset, left), whose criminal empire (of which the so-called “Mafia” was a part) came under fire when the Kennedy administration launched a major crackdown on organized crime. 385 Photo Section

When New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison (left) investigated and charged international trade executive and longtime CIA asset Clay Shaw (center) with involvement in the JFK assassination conspiracy, Garrison discovered that Shaw served on the board of the Mossad’s Permindex corporation. Garrison apparently ultimately concluded that the Mossad was linked to the assassination but expressed his suspicions only in an unpublished novel. The chairman of Permindex was Montreal attorney Louis M. Bloomfield (right), a major figure in the Israeli lobby of Canada and a longtime henchman of liquor baron Sam Bronfman who wasbotha major patronofIsrael and a top-level figure inthe LanskyCrimeSyndicate.

In league with Clay Shaw of Per- mindex, New Orleans-based CIA contract agents Guy Banister (left) and David Ferrie (right) worked with the operatives of the French Secret Army Organization (OAS) in plots against Charles DeGaulle that were being financed through the Mossad’s Permindex front. Shaw, Banister and Ferrie also were responsible for the “sheep dipping” operation that portrayed accused JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald as a “pro-Castro” agitator. Although many point to Bannister’s connections to “right wing” agitator Kent Courtney as evidence of a “right wing” slant among Banister and his associates, what these same researchers fail to note is Courtney’s own enthusiastic support for Israel. Shown (right) is a 1970 article by Courtney hailing Israel as a roadblock in the path of Soviet expansionism. Courtney’s view of Israel exactly reflected that of James Angleton, the CIA’s Mossad liaison. Photo Section 386

James Jesus Angleton (inset), longtime CIA director for counterintelligence, was the key high-level CIA player in the JFK assassination conspiracy and later the driving force behind the CIA’s role in the “Watergating” of Richard Nixon. A devotee of Israel, Angleton and his Mossad liaison desk at the CIA were central to the CIA’s deep-cover alliances with the Lan- sky Crime Syndicate, a fact many JFK researchers strive to ignore and/or forget. This monument in Israel (above) is one of several honoring Angleton for his services to Israel. Shown at right is the monument’s plaque. The photograph of the monument was taken exclusively for this book and is the only known photograph of this monument ever to be published. 387 Photo Section

A former French intelligence officer told Final Judgment author Michael Collins Piper that Yitzhak Shamir (top left)—the Mossad’s assassinations chief in 1963—contracted out at least one of the assassins who participated in the hit on JFK through Col. Georges deLannurien (center), a high-placed Mossad ally in French intelligence. It is no coincidence that on the day of the JFK assassination, deLannurien was huddled at CIA headquarters in Washington with the Mossad’shigh-rankingallyatthe CIA,JamesJ. Angleton.Infact,Israeliintrigue againstJFK began shortly after his election, when mob boss Meyer Lansky’s Los Angeles henchman Mickey Cohen (right) and Israeli diplomat Menachem Begin (bottom right) manipulated actress Marilyn Monroe (bottom center) in a deep-cover sexual blackmail and spying operation aimed at JFK. Media disinformation promotes the myth the Kennedy family was involved in Monroe’s death, when, in fact, evidence suggests Cohen was responsible. Largely ignored by JFK researchers, Cohen was a friend and role model of Dallas mob figure Jack Ruby (bottom left) whose links to Lansky and to Israeli arms smuggling have been covered up by those who say that “The Mafia Killed JFK.” Photo Section 388

In collaboration with the CIA station in Mexico City headed by David Atlee Phillips (left), James Angleton’s Israeli desk at the CIA concocted phony “evidence” to convince Chief Jus- tice Earl Warren that Lee Harvey Oswald had conspired with the Soviets to assassinate JFK. The Warren Report was thus designed to cover up what Warren (perhaps) believed to be the truth and to prevent war between the USA and the USSR. Many people believe Phillips— who later went to work for a company involved in smuggling arms for the Mossad—was the CIA operative (who used the name “Maurice Bishop”) seen with Oswald in Texas shortly before the assassination. This “artist’s impression” (center) of “Maurice Bishop” was issued by the House Assassinations Committee. However, Michael Collins Piper, author of Final Judgment, speculatesthat “Maurice Bishop” mayhave been a CIA code name also used by yet another Texas-based CIAfigure involved in Cubanaffairsin1963—George Bush(right).

In 1986 Israeli nuclear technician Mor- dechai Vanunu (left) blew the whistle on Israel and revealed to the world that Israel did indeed have nuclear weapons. Vanunu was sentenced to 18 years in prison for his act of conscience. Just before the fourth edition of Final Judgment went to press, an American couple—peace activists Nicho- las and Mary Eoloff of St. Paul, Minnesota who adopted Vanunu—released an Oct- ober 12, 1997 letter to them from their adopted son in which Vanunu alleged there was a link between the JFK assassination and the 1967 Six Day War that Israel launched against its Arab neighbors. Vanunu’s revelations—particularly in light of his background in Israel’s nuclear program— obviously point toward confirmation of the allegations that had already been made in the first edition of Final Judgment released in 1994. Although Vanunu’s allegations about the JFK connection have been kept under wraps, the one press report that did mention it predictably said that it was evidence of Vanunu’s “paranoia.” 389 Photo Section

Former CIA officer Victor Marchetti (left) alleged in an article in The Spotlight in 1978 that the CIA planned to frame CIA operative E. Howard Hunt (center) for involvement in JFK’s murder. Evidence indicates Israel’s CIA ally, James Angleton, was behind the scheme to frame Hunt. Angleton’s confidant, journalist Joe Trento (right), believes Angleton sent Hunt to Dallas in November of 1963 and then—15 years later—leaked a CIA memo placing Hunt in Dallas at the time of the assassination. Hunt was working with many of those involved in the assassination and knows far more than he will admit. Hunt seems to have been part of what some thought was a “dummy” assassination attempt on JFK designed to implicate agents of Castro, but which was co-opted and turned into “the real thing.” It is likely Lee Oswald was manipulated in this fashion, led to believe he was involved in a scheme to blame Castro for an attempt on JFK’s life, when, in fact, he was being set up as “the patsy.”

Although CIA-connected British writer Christopher Andrew asserts the famous letter to “Dear Mr. Hunt” (left)—purportedly written by Lee Oswald two weeks before the JFK assassination—was a KGB forgery, this letter was more likely part of the “limited hangout” cam- paign by James Angleton’s Mossad desk at the CIA to frame Hunt and confuse JFK research further. The letter came to light at precisely the time in 1975 that Mike Canfield and Alan Weberman were releasing Coup d’etat in America (right) which promoted the myth Hunt was one of the “tramps” picked up in Dallas after the assassination. Not only has Weberman been closely associated with Mordechai Levy, a known operative for the Mossad-linked Anti- Defamation League, but Weberman has revealed that the Capitol Hill power broker who played an early instrumental role facilitating Weberman’s effort to spread the “Hunt as tramp” theory was Richard Perle (inset, right), a longtime Mossad asset who is now a key player in the “neo-conservative”pro-Israelnetwork.Inaddition, the Nigerianwho publishedWeberman’s book was also publisher of Israeli leader David Ben-Gurion’s writings. Final Judgment author Michael Collins Piper speculates Weberman’s book was “black propaganda” out of Angleton’s Israeli desk at the CIA. Interestingly, it was Weberman who revealed that New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison was quietly suggesting Mossad involvement in the JFK assassination—a point even many Garrison admirers are hesitant to acknowledge.

After E. Howard Hunt (inexplicably) sued The Spotlight for libel for exposing the CIA’s plot to frame him in the JFK assassination, famed JFK investigator, attorney Mark Lane (left), served as The Spotlight’s defense counsel and scuttled Hunt’s case. Testimony by former CIA operative Marita Lorenz (right) revealed that Hunt had met in Dallas the day before the JFK assassination with CIA-Mossad asset Frank Sturgis and a team of anti-Castro Cubans, but also Lansky-Bronfman henchman Jack Ruby. Some years later, a Mossad- and CIA-connected intelligence asset, Andrew Allen, orchestrated another lawsuit against The Spotlight forcing the newspaper into bankruptcy, giving federal Judge S. Martin Teel, the opportunity to shut down the publication in 2001. It’s no coincidence that Teel had been implicated in covering up the infamous INSLAW scandal (first exposed by The Spotlight) which involved the theft by Justice Department officials of surveillance software which was then turned over to the Mossad, asrevealed byGordon ThomasinhisbookRobert Maxwell: Israel’sSuper-Spy. Veteran CIA asset William R. Corson (left), a longtime media “cutout” for the Mossad’s CIA liaison, James Angleton, leaked the “Hunt in Dallas” story that embroiled The Spotlight in the Hunt lawsuit. Later, after Corson’s death, one of Corson’s associates carried on his work, energetically scheming behind the scenes to discredit Mark Lane and Michael Collins Piper and to stop distribution of Final Judgment. The “black operation” against Lane and Piper involved distribution of disinformation documents (ostensibly from CIA files) purporting to “admit” CIA and Israeli involvement in the JFK affair. The phony documents were released with the expectation that they would be easily discredited, as indeed they were. Now the CIA and the Israelis proclaim: “The theory of CIA and/or Israel collaborated in the JFK assassination was based on fraudulent documents, so the work of both Lane and Piper is therefore discredited.” However, what the critics do not mention is this: neither Lane nor Piper relied on those obviously forged documents. 391 Photo Section

At least three independent sources confirm that famed CIA contract operative Frank Sturgis (left) had worked for Israel’s Mossad going back as far as 1948 and that his Mossad connections continued well into the 1970s. Marita Lorenz testified that Sturgis led the two-car caravan from Miami to Dallas that arrived there on November 21, 1963—one day before the JFK assassination—at which time Sturgis and his team of anti-Castro Cubans met up with CIA officer E. Howard Hunt and Jack Ruby. According to Miss Lorenz, Sturgis later told her that his team had been involved in the events in Dealey Plaza. Cuban intelligence concluded, based on its own investigation, that Sturgis was indeed involved in the JFK assassination. The unique positioning of Sturgis thus firmly places a known Mossad asset in CIA circles in the center of the intrigue surrounding the assassination, providing yet another “missing link” pointing toward Mossad collaboration with the CIA in the murder of President Kennedy.

Legendary CIA contract operative Gerry Patrick Hemming (right) was associated with Mossad-linked CIA figure Frank Sturgis in training anti-Castro Cuban exiles outside New Orleans—a project with which JFK assassination figures David Phillips, Guy Banister, David Ferrie and Clay Shaw—not to mention Lee Oswald—were involved. A key sponsor of Hemming’s anti-Castro intrigue involving Sturgis was Theodore Racoosin, described by Hemming as “one of the key founders of the state of Israel.” Mossad-connected American Jewish gambling interests are known to have funded the New Orleans operation. Hemming told Final Judgment author Michael Collins Piper that he (Hemming) had known since the late 1960s that the Mossad was aware of the impending assassination of President Kennedy, although Hemming says he knows of no evidence of direct Mossad involvement. According to Hemming, the Mossad launched its own investigation of the JFK assassination and maintains the files of its investigation to this day. Photo Section 392

According to ex-CIA operative Marita Lorenz, Guillermo Novo (left) and his brother Ignacio (center) were among the Cubans in Dallas with E. Howard Hunt and CIA and Mossad asset Frank Sturgis. Later, the Novos were convicted along with international adventurer Michael Townley (right) for the 1976 murder of Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier. The Novo-Town- ley link may go back further. At the time of the JFK assassination Townley was an operative for Investors Overseas Services (IOS). Nominally headed by Bernie Cornfeld (bottom left), IOS was a front for the wide-ranging Mossad intrigue of Rabbi Tibor Rosenbaum whose Per- mindex operation was central to the JFK assassination conspiracy. Robert Vesco (bottom right), who later took control of IOS, ultimately broke with the Mossad and alleged that “the same forces” behind the JFK assassination were behind the “Watergating” ofRichard Nixon. 393 Photo Section

House Assassinations Committee Director Robert Blakey (top left) said that if anybody was responsible for orchestrating the assassination of John F. Kennedy it had to be Mafia bosses Carlos Marcello (top right) and Santo Trafficante Jr. (bottom right), both of whom were actually Meyer Lansky’s subordinates. Yet, Blakey never once pointed a finger at Lansky and tried to keep the Lansky connection to the assassination under wraps. Earlier Blakey had been on the payroll of Lanskyassociate and Permindex investor Morris Dalitz (bottomleft) whose chief lieutenant, Ed Levinson, served on the board of Mossad official Tibor Rosenbaum’s Banque De Credit International which laundered “dirty money” for the Lansky Syndicate and which has been linked to the JFK conspiracy. Although the major media promotes Blakey’s legend that “The Mafia Killed JFK,” the wide-ranging interplay between Israeli intelligence and American organized crime is suppressed. The media also ignores the pivotal role played by Jewish mobsters at the highest level of organized crime, focusing instead on the Italian Mafia “Godfather” image. Although discussion of the subject is considered taboo, what might be described as a significant “sensitivity to Jewish concerns” may be one reason why the owners and editors of many major media news sources have determined that it is inappropriate to provide accurate coverage of the Jewish and Israeli ties to the American mob.

In 1967, columnist Jack Anderson (top left), and his boss, Drew Pearson (inset, left) both close to the CIA and the Israeli lobby, hyped a phony story told by Chicago Mafia figure Johnny Roselli (top right), blaming Fidel Castro for the JFK assassination. Roselli—who later repudiated the story—collaborated with others, including Chicago Mafia chief Sam Giancana (bottom left) in CIA plots against Castro carried out with the approval of mob overlord Meyer Lansky whose role has been suppressed by “official” investigations and by JFK researchers who fear to mention Lansky. While Anderson forged a close friendship with CIA and Mossad asset Frank Sturgis as far back as 1960, we now know, based on new revelations from Gian- cana’s nephew, that the real “boss” of the Chicago mob was Lansky partner Hyman Larner (bottomright)—who was Jewish, not Italian—and whose major operations were done in concert with both the Mossad and the CIA. This means then to even suggest “The Chicago Mafia Killed JFK” points even further to Mossad involvement. The Mossad connection to the JFK assassination—through numerous venues and on several levels—is simply inescapable. 395 Photo Section

The fingerprints of Israel’s wealthy patron, Lansky syndicate figure Sam Bronfman of Canada (left), are found all over the JFK assassination conspiracy. Not only was Bronf- man’s longtime henchman, Louis Bloomfield, chairman of the Mossad-sponsored Per- mindex corporation, but new evidence indicates that Dallas mob figure Jack Ruby was actually on the Bronfman payroll. In addition, while another Bronfman associate in Dallas, oilman Jack Crichton, functioned as a “translator” for Lee Harvey Oswald’s widow after the JFK assassination, another Bronfman functionary—“super lawyer” John McCloy (center)—served on the Warren Commission. McCloy was a director—and Crichton served as vice president—of the Empire Trust, a financial combine controlled in part by the Bronfman family. Although Bronfman is best known for his Seagrams liquor empire, what many JFK researchers who point their fingers at the “Texas oil barons” have failed to note is that Bronfman was a Texas oil baron himself, having purchased Texas Pacific Oil in 1963. As far back as 1949, Allen Dulles (right)—later the CIA director fired by JFK and also a Warren Commission member—served as an attorney involved in the private business ventures of Bronfman’s daughter Phyllis.

Within minutes of the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald on November 24, 1963 by Jack Ruby, Eugene Rostow, then dean of the Yale Law School, began lobbying President Johnson for the establishment of what became the Warren Commission that covered up the truth about the JFK assassination. Rostow’s pivotal role in the affair remained a secret until 1993. A longtime high-level figure in the Israeli lobby, Rostow was a board member of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, which has been described as being “runbyindividuals closely identified with Israeli interests and may be regarded as a virtual lobbying organization for the state of Israel.” A fanatic hard-line Cold Warrior, Rostow was a founder of the “neo-conservative” Committee on the Present Danger which deemed Israel’s security to be central to all US foreign policy concerns.

At the time of the Warren Commission inquiry into the JFK assassination, Detroit industrialist Max Fisher (left) was a close advisor and chief financial backer of then-Congressman Gerald Ford (inset, left) one of the commission’s most dedicated defenders. Fisher not only had long- standing ties to the Lansky Crime Syndicate, but he was also a business partner of Mossad officer Rabbi Tibor Rosenbaum and Israeli billionaire Shaul Eisenberg (right) who were prime movers behind the Permindex web that was central to the JFK assassination conspiracy. Eisenberg, the Mossad’s longtime liaison with Red China, was a key player in the highly secretive joint nuclear bomb development programs between Israel and Red China. President Kennedy’s plan to launch a military strike on Red China’s nuclear bomb production facilities was reversed by Lyndon Johnson within 30 days of the JFK assassination, with the result that the Chinese effort went forward. Evidence suggests that “China’s” first explosion of a nuclear device was, in fact, a joint venture between Israel and Red China. Another of Mossad figure Tibor Rosenbaum’s partners in intrigue was controversial Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands (left), whose dealings with Rosenbaum were the object of scandal. Perhaps not coincidentally, at the time of the Warren Commission inquiry, Bernhard (the founder of the powerful Bilderberg Group) was playing host to not only Ford but also another commission member, John McCloy, at one of Bilderberg’s conclaves. Bernhard also had dealings with Rosenbaum’s Permindex associate, Clay Shaw of New Orleans, going back as far as 1954. The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported on March 20, 1954 that Bernhard had visited Shaw’s International Trade Mart on a visit the Dutch consulate said was “strictly incognito.” 397 Photo Section

Two key Warren Commission staff members were Arlen Specter (left) and Albert Jenner (right). Like most of the key Warren Commission staffers, both Specter and Jenner had close ties to the Israeli lobby. Today, Specter, now a U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania, is a leading congressional champion of Israel (where his American-born sister has taken up residence). Jenner, prior to serving on the Warren Commission, was attorney for Chicago billionaire Henry Crown who was not only linked to the Lansky Crime Syndicate, but whose vast financial empire also helped bankroll Israel’s nuclear weapons development program which was a thorn in the side of President Kennedy and the source of JFK’s secret conflict with Israel.

Russian-born nobleman George DeMohrenschildt (right) functioned as a “CIA babysitter” for Lee Harvey Oswald in the spring of 1963 and later claimed that there was a conspiracy behind the assassination and that he had been unwittingly used as part of that conspiracy. Just prior to his purported suicide DeMohrenschildt said that “the Jews” and “the Jewish Mafia” were out to get him. Today, CIA-connected writer Gerald Posner, author of Case Closed, which claims that Oswald was a “lone nut,” is quick to assert that DeMohrenschildt’s claims were evidence of the nobleman’s paranoia and insanity. Although JFK assassination researchers have been quite critical of Posner’s numerous frauds, none have dared investigate to find out why DeMohrenschildt would have thought that “the Jews” were eager to silence him.

William Sullivan (left)—a close friend of the CIA’s Mossad liaison, James Angleton—was the CIA’s informant inside the FBI. Sullivan coordinated the FBI’s infamous COINTEL- PRO operations infiltrating dissident organizations. There is evidence that veteran CIA asset David Ferrie (who manipulated Lee Harvey Oswald prior to the JFK assassination) was one of Sullivan’s COINTELPRO operatives involved in the burning of a Black Masonic lodge in Louisiana in 1962. Sullivan died in 1977 in a strange hunting accident. Meanwhile, new information suggests that the infamous Barry Seal (right)—a top drug smuggler involved in the CIA’s Iran-contra operations—launched his career as Ferrie’s CIA protégé and that it was Seal who was a get-away pilot in the JFK assassination. Seal himself was assassinated in 1986 in what sources say was a contract hit ordered by the Mossad, utilizing assets from the CIA- and Mossad-linked Colombian drug cartel.

Noted conspiracy theorist Mae Brussell contended that former Nazi general Rein- hard Gehlen (right), who worked for West- ern intelligence following World War II, was a likely conspirator in the JFK assassination. In fact, Israeli writers Dan Raviv and Yossi Melman note in their book, Every Spy a Prince, that Gehlen became quite close to Israeli intelligence and was “the engineer of the special relationship between the Jewish state and the ‘new’ Germany” and that Gehlen “established a deep professional relationship with Israel.” Thus, if Brussell was right (however unlikely) about a “Nazi connection” to the assassination, one could logically suggest that the ex-Nazi orchestrated the JFK assassination on behalf of his allies in the Mossad. One can indeed find a Mossad connection to the JFK affair in the most unlikely places. 399 Photo Section

One little-known mystery surrounding the JFK affair is the role played by Anti-Defamation League-associated publicist and CIA asset Isaac Don Levine (right) in manipulating the widow of Lee Harvey Oswald after the JFK assassination. Levine expressed unusual interest in Oswald’s association (while in Russia) with Alexander Ziger, a Russian Jew who may have been involved in intelligence intrigue—even including working for the CIA and/or Israel’s Mossad—and perhaps directing Oswald. A thorough inquiry into the Levine-Ziger matter—along with an examination of one JFK researcher’s forceful claim there may have actually been “two Oswalds”—including one who appears to have been of Jewish origin—would certainly be revealing.

Shown above are top-secret U.S. intelligence reports (only recently de-classified) that reveal that just days after the JFK assassination, official Arab government newspapers were openly suggesting the assassination could be traced to Israel and the Mossad. Clearly, these are the little known (and quite well suppressed) “ugly rumors” circulating overseas that the Warren Commission was determined to squelch. Had Americans heard these rumors, they might have started investigating JFK’s policy toward Israel and discovered the Mossad did have the motive, means and opportunity to collaborate in the JFK assassination. In recent years, Syrian defense minister Mustafa Tlas declared publicly on Syrian television that he believed there was a Mossad role in the JFK assassination. Photo Section 400

Shown above is a photo taken in Dealey Plaza immediately after the JFK assassination. At right is the famous, well-dressed “umbrella man,” widely believed to have played a part in the assassination. Although one Louis Steven Witt later claimed he was “the umbrella man,” many JFK researchers dispute his claim. Although the “umbrella man’s” compan- ion is often said to be “Latin looking,” a veteran of Middle East travel told Final Judgment author Michael Collins Piper that the individual instead has the appearance of a typical Sephardic Yemenite Jew. In fact, the “umbrella man” may be famed Mossad assassinations specialist Michael Harari (see below) who was in the field in 1963. William Pepper, attorney for Martin Luther King’s alleged assassin, James Earl Ray, has linked Ray’s handler “Raul”—along with Jack Ruby—to a U.S.-based arms smuggling operation which, in 1963, included a top Mossad officer who was almost certainly Harari.

The ever-exquisitely-attired fashion plate and Mossad assassinations specialist Michael Harari is shown (center) in a rare 1985 photo. Harari’s record suggests that if the Mossad deployed any of its own operatives in Dallas, it would have been Harari. As the accompanying photos demonstrate, Harari bears a striking resemblance (albeit 22 years older) to the “umbrella man” of Dealey Plaza shown in close-up (with the right photo “flopped” to illustrate a similar profile). Note Harari’s (a) high forehead (b) hairstyle (c) hawk-nose and (d) jaw. Then compare Harari’s features to those of the “umbrella man.” 401 Photo Section

SAVAK—a joint creation of the CIA and the Mossad—served as the secret police of the Shah of Iran (top left), a bitter foe of the Kennedy family. SAVAK carried out the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy in 1968 on behalf of the CIA and the Mossad. Longtime CIA official and later CIA Direc- tor Richard Helms (top right), a close friend of the Shah and James Angleton’s CIA patron, was implicated in Angleton’s scheme in 1978 to frame E. Howard Hunt for involvement in the JFK assassination. Later, hoping to derail the Watergate scandal, President Richard Nixon (left) attempt- ed to blackmail Helms and the CIA over the CIA’s role in the JFK assassination. Relying in part on the revelations of the book, Katharine the Great (by Debra Davis), Final Judgment demonstrates that the Watergate affair was orchestrated by Angleton’s little-known CIA desk in the White House to force Nixon from office. New evidence indicates Nixon was planning to publicly attack the Israeli lobby for blocking . Photo Section 402

When Oliver Stone (left) crafted his hit film, JFK, focused on Jim Garrison’s investigation of Mossad-connected Clay Shaw, Stone suppressed evidence of the so-called “French connection” (which was, in fact, the Israeli connection), perhaps because his chief financial backer was veteran Mossad asset, Arnon Milchan (right), Israel’s biggest arms dealer and a major figure in Israel’s nuclear arms program. After Garrison’s death, Garrison’s family brought legal action against Milchan’s enterprises because the family did not receive all of the proceeds their father was promised when Stone bought the rights to Garrison’s memoir.

Although James DiEugenio’s Destiny Betrayed, (left) is a fine, fact-filled examination of Jim Garrison’s investigation of Clay Shaw, DiEugenio (who has publicly scoffed at Final Judgment) has been careful not to explore the multiple Mossad links of the Permindex corporation on whose board Shaw served. DiEugenio’s book was published by the Sheridan Square Press whose foundersreceived financing from the Stern family of New Orleans who were also contributors to the Mossad intelligence arm, the Anti- Defamation League (ADL). Close friends of Clay Shaw, the Sterns were owners of the WDSU media empire which played a central role in Shaw’s “sheep-dipping” of Lee Oswald as a “pro-Castro agitator” prior to the JFK assassination. Although we now know Garrison recognized Mossad involvement in the JFK affair, he (perhaps wisely) voiced his suspicions only in an unpublished novel—a fact manychoosetoignore. 403 Photo Section

Abe Foxman (left) national director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B’nai B’rith, a conduit for Israel’s Mossad, hysterically denounced Final Judgment upon its release and declared any and all JFK assassination conspiracy theories unacceptable and out of bounds. Foxman made the preposterous assertion that anybody who believed that even the “military- industrial complex” had been involved in the assassination might also believe that the Holocaust was a hoax. Marcia Milchiker (right), an ADL-affiliated college trustee in Orange County, California, later played a key role in the ADL’s successful effort to prevent Final Judgment author Michael CollinsPiper fromspeaking about hisbookat a collegeseminar. A major frenzy erupted and newspapersacrossthe countryreported onthe controversy (below). Photo Section 404

Although there are those who prefer to ignore it, Dr. Martin Luther King’s alleged assassin, James Earl Ray (right), hinted—in his book, in public statements and in legal documents—that he suspected a Mossad link to the murder of Dr. King. Henry Schwarzschild, a former official in the New York office of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an arm of the Mossad, revealed in 1993 that the ADL spied on King before his assassination and turned its findings over to the FBI. The ADL considered King a “loose cannon.” Sources close to the King family have said King was, in fact, moving toward public support for the Palestinian cause, despite frequent claims by the ADL today that King was a “strong supporter of Israel.” Final Judgment has also demon- strated a number of other strange details relating to King’s assassination which point toward a very definitive Israeli connection.

Best known for writing a book proclaiming blacks to be inferior to whites, Jared Taylor (left) once tried to sabotage a speaking engagement by Final Judgment author Michael Collins Piper because Taylor was offended by Piper’s criticism of the CIA and the Mossad. Taylor’s writing has been featured in CIA man William F. Buckley Jr’s National Review and praised in Commentary, edited by CIA-connected Norman Podhoretz of the American Jewish Committee. Taylor’s opposition to Final Judgment is no surprise since Taylor once maintained behind-the-scenes contact with the late Irwin Suall (right), longtime chief “fact finder” for the ADL which shares Taylor’s opposition to both affirmative action and Final Judgment. Carroll & Graf, the New York-based publisher of Taylor’s book on race, has also promoted a series of bizarre books by one Harrison Livingstone who energetically absolves the CIA of any involvement in the JFK assassination and instead pins the crime on Lyndon Johnson, his wife Lady Bird, and the Texas oil barons. 405 Photo Section

Robert Welch (left), founder of the pro-Israel John Birch Society, played a major part in directing conservative attention away from a possible role by the CIA in the JFK assassination and in the direction of the KGB, promoting the propaganda line of the CIA’s Mossad liaison, James J. Angleton. One American conservative, Morris Bealle, figured out Welch’s game early on. In the June 19, 1965 edition of his Capsule News, Bealle reported that Welch had declared Bealle’s book, The Guns of the Regressive Right— which pointed a finger in the direction of the CIA—“all wrong” and told his Birch followers that it was not the CIA but Lyndon Johnson behind the JFK assassination. According to Bealle, “We examined thoroughly all of his 1964 bulletins . . . [which] were filled with attacks on Earl Warren and curious expres- sions of hearty agreement with him on the myth that “a Communist (meaning the Decoy Man Oswald) killed Kennedy.” As recently as Nov. 21, 1988, the Birch Society’s New American magazine favorably touted the Warren Commission Report, saying that “evidence demonstrates beyond a reasonable doubt” that Lee Harvey Oswald—one lone communist nut—killed JFK.

Several JFK writers have noted that the media empire of S.I. Newhouse (left), a major power in the Israeli lobby, has played a key role in suppressing evidence of conspiracy in the JFK affair. It’s probably no coincidence that Newhouse’s lifelong friend, mob attorney Roy Cohn (right)—who used his clout to influence Newhouse publications—was a foe of the Kennedy family and linked to the Mossad’s Permindex operation that played a central role in the JFK conspiracy. A small-town Newhouse weekly once published an item about Final Judgment, but the editor deleted material referring to the book’s thesis, clumsily substituting stilted verbiage saying the book “addresses charges relating to the JFK assassination.” Michael Collins Piper remarks: “This may be the first time in history a newspaper story about a book on the JFK assassination didn’t even mention the book’s thesis.” Photo Section 406

In 1997, after a flurry of national news stories reported the allegations made in Final Judgment that Israel had been involved in the JFK assassination, the highly sensational (but widely read) tabloid, Weekly News, featured an outlandish (but well- timed) cover story (right) announcing that Fidel Castro had “confessed” that he was the prime mover behind the assassination—a story fully in line with the initial scheme by the CIA and Mossad conspirators who worked to link Lee Harvey Oswald to Castro and the Soviet KGB..

On January 14, 1992, the New York Post, published by Rupert Murdoch, a major promoter of Israel, hyped the mythical story (left) that Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa was ultimately responsible for the JFK assassination. The story was written by Jack New- field, a columnist known for his sympathy toward Israel. Like the “Castro Killed JFK” story shown above, this is all part and parcel of efforts by pro-Israel factions in the media to cover up the truth about the assassination of Presi- dent Kennedy and confuse the public with wildly diverse com- peting theories. Readers say that Final Judgment is the first book ever to tie most of the conventional theories together in a way that makes ultimate sense. 407 Photo Section

After Final Judgment author Michael Collins Piper sent a first draft of his book to Paul Findley (left), the highly respected former liberal congressman from Illinois, Findley wrote Piper and revealed that for four years, he (Findley) had been in lengthy correspondence with a former European diplomat and intelligence officer who had suffered at the hands of the Mossad. During that time, Findley noted, the diplomat had been urging Findley to write a book documenting the Mossad role in the JFK assassination. Findley also offered to forward Piper’s manuscript to the diplomat for his review. After receiving the manuscript, the diplomat contacted Piper and gave him inside information delineating the so-called “French connection”—which the diplomat asserted was, in fact, a key Mossad link—to the JFK assassination. The details confirmed Piper’s initial findings and, on the basis of the diplomat’s input, Piper researched further and substantially enhanced his manuscript regarding the “French” connection prior to publication.

On November 16, 2003, just days before the 40th anniversary of the JFK assassination, the hawkish “right wing” Zionist Organization of America—a leading pro-Israel group— gave its award for “outstanding journalism” to “conservative” Joseph Farah (left), editor of the Internet-based WorldNetDaily. The award arrived just after Farah began promoting a new book entitled Triangle of Death: The Shocking Truth About the Role of South Vietnam and the French Mafia in the Assassination of JFK. Although, in some respects, the authors echoed Michael Collins Piper research about the “French connection” to the JFK conspiracy, Farah’s writers studiously avoided mentioning the multiple Mossad links that can be found though the “French” connection. What the authors call “new” evidence—a CIA document relating to a French mercenary—had already been noted by Piper and scores of JFK writers before him. Because Farah is known both for his fervent support for Israel—despite his Arabic heritage—and for his ties to billionaire Richard Scaife (long entwined in CIA intrigue), Piper suspects Farah’s book is “black propaganda” designed to distort the picture and suppress the real truthabout the “French” connection.

Reproduced above isa (formerly)secretOctober 6, 1976 document from theoffice of the military justice division of the French ministry of defense. The never-before-published document announces the refusal by the French government to grant clemency to Pierre Neuville, a former French diplomat and intelligence officer who was sentenced in absentia to twenty years of forced labor for “treason” and “breach of state security” for exposing a joint Mossad French intelligence plot to kill Egyptian President Nasser in 1956. Pierre—who fled France and went into exile—later provided Michael Collins Piper with critical information in the writing of Final Judgment. This hitherto secret document (inadvertently released to Pierre in 1976 who later provided it to Piper) confirms that Pierre was engaged in high-level intrigue on behalf of French intelligence (in spite of official French government claims today to the contrary.) Pierre believes that Bernard Ledun (the French government official who released this document against the wishes of his superiors), was murdered in retribution in Paris on February 1, 1994 when the Mossad realized that Pierre was a source for Piper in the writing of Final Judgment. Pierre’s address has been excised in order to protect his privacy. 409 Photo Section

MargaretTruman, daughter ofPresident HarryTruman(left), charged ina 1973 biographyofher father that Israeli operatives once tried to assassinate her father. In 1992, former Mossad officer Victor Ostrovsky (right) revealed a Mossad faction plotted the assassination of President George H. W. Bush after Bush ran afoul of Israel. Although pro-Israel partisans are angry about allegationsof Mossad involvement in the JFK assassination, there is widespread belief in Israel that Israeli intelligence played a part in the 1995 assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin (bottom left). John F. Kennedy, Jr. (bottom right) enraged the Israeli lobby when he published allegations of Israeli intelligence collaboration in Rabin’s murder in his magazine, George. Shortly before JFK Jr.’s death, Final Judgment author Michael Collins Piper received an anonymous typewritten letter praising Piper for being “gutsy” and saying the author of the letter “knew” Piper’s thesis was right. Piper later discovered that the typewritten return address on the envelope was that of the office of JFK Jr.’s magazine. In addition, close friends of a top figure from JFK’s White House inner circle have privately endorsed Piper’s thesis of Mossad involvement in JFK’s murder. Photo Section 410

When Jack Ruby was stalking Dallas police headquarters following the JFK assassination (right), Ruby told people he was working as a “translator” for Israeli “reporters” on the scene who remain unidentified to this day. In fact, there were Israelis in Dallas on the day of the assassination, including Mossad figure and future Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, then a high-ranking military officer, purportedly on a “military briefing tour,” according to Rabin’s widow. Two weeks later Rabin was promoted to chief of staff of the Israeli Defense Forces. This proves nothing, but is a detail for the record. Why no JFK researchers have ever tried to identify the Israelis with Ruby remains a mystery.

U.S-Israeli dual citizen and self-described former Mossad operative, writer C. David Heymann (right), popped up in the wake of the tragedy that claimed the life of John F. Kennedy, Jr. and told what now appears to be a thoroughlyfraudulent —although widely- promoted—story (above) that purported to “explain” why JFK Jr.’s plane crash had to have been an accident and nothing more. The question is whether Heymann was on assignment for the Mossad when he told this story—and if so, why? 411 Photo Section

Just before the fifth edition of Final Judgment went to press, an anonymous source left a package of eye-opening documents outside the author’s office (left). The material, dating to 1976, includes bitter, handwritten attacks on JFK and his policy toward Israel by no less than I. L. Kenan, founder of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the lobby for Israel. Kenan’s attacks on JFK prove beyond doubt that JFK was not a “special friend of Israel” as the Israeli lobby (and some JFK researchers) have suggested in order to counter the foundational thesis of Final Judgment. The 2003 book, Support Any Friend (right) by Israeli educated Warren Bass—the first-ever overview of JFK’s Middle East policy—was funded by pro-Israel foundations and is clearly part of the operation to defuse growing awareness of the assertions made in Final Judgment. The Israeli-sponsored book makes the contorted, clearly specious argument that JFK’s conflict with Israel actually strengthened the U.S.-Israeli relationship and claims that because JFK provided Israel with conventional weapons (effectively paying extortion hoping to stop Israel from building nuclear weapons) is somehow “proof” that JFK was the spiritual father of the “special relationship” between the U.S. and Israel. Not surprisingly, the American media—particularly Jewish newspapers—have given the book wide play. Critics of Final Judgment cite the Bass book as an effective refutation of Final Judgment. It is not.

The official U.S. government publication shown above (issued in 1994) published—for the first time— long-classified U.S. diplomatic documents which proved there was indeed a fierce conflict between JFK and Israel over Israel’s determination to construct a nuclear arsenal. The documents also demonstrate that other aspects of JFK’s policy were highly controversial as far as Israel was concerned. The more recent book, Israel and the Bomb, by Israeli historian Avner Cohen, also provides newlightonthelong-secretconflictbetweenJFKandIsrael,althoughCohen himselfhasdenounced Final Judgment. Revealing excerpts from some of the more pertinent U.S. documents appear on the two pages which follow . . . Photo Section 412

“As a matter of well-considered policy, we remain opposed to acquisition by Israel of a nuclear weapons capability.”

Excerpted From: Memorandum from the Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs (Meyer) to the Deputy Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs (Johnson), October 19, 1961.

“We have indicated to Israel at a high level on several occasions our opposition to proliferation of nuclear weapons capabilities . . . We would not hesitate to re-affirm to Israel in strong terms our belief that it is not in the interest of Israel or of this country that Israel engage in programs aimed at nuclear weapons production . . . I am hopeful that our continued close attention to this problem . . . will prevent the development of a nuclear weapons capacity by Israel.”

Excerpted From: Letter from Secretary of State Rusk to the Deputy Secretary of Defense (Gilpatric), August 30, 1961.

“Arguments from the US foreign policy point of view in favor of a special national security arrangement with Israel and in favor of supplying the Hawk [missile] have been added. They are few.” [Emphasis added by Michael Collins Piper]

Arguments for and against a Special National Security Arrangement with Israel. a. For i. From the foreign policy standpoint, there are no advan- tages. [Emphasis added by Michael Collins Piper] ii. From a domestic point of view, the American supporters of Israel would be pleased and would be less critical of our policy.

b. Against i. Would constitute a direct challenge to the Arabs by the US, destroying growing Arab confidence in our impartiality, and remove the protective covering of the UN behind which we deal with most Palestine issues. ii. Could not be counterbalanced by creation of a corre- sponding relationship with the Arabs. iii. Would render the US responsible in Arab eyes for every Israeli military venture. iv. Would encourage the more fanatical Arabs to seek a similar relationship with the Soviet Union and would hand the Soviets a very useful propaganda weapon. v. Would be the only US security arrangement with another country not directed against the Sino-Soviet bloc, and would cause us further problems with Pakistan in refusing to take Pakistan’s side in the Kashmir dispute. vi. Would lead to increasing Israeli demands for sophisti- cated weapons. vii. Would put greater pressure on Arab leaders well-dis- posed toward the U.S. viii. Would be unnecessary to maintenance of Israel’s security. ix. Would pose security problems for DOD [Department of Defense].

We consider it important not to give in to Israeli and domestic pressures for a special relationship in national security matters. To undertake, in effect, a military alliance with Israel would destroy the delicate balance we seek to maintain in our Near East relations. [Emphasis added by Michael Collins Piper]

FIVEVIEWS OFTHE MOSSAD LINKTO THE JFK ASSASSINATION CONSPIRACY

Below and on the three pages that follow are five different graphics, each of which (in its own way) demonstrates the continuity of the Mossad link to all the intercon- necting elements involved in some fashion in the JFK assassination conspiracy. These graphics were designed by Final Judgment author Michael Collins Piper.

“The Mafia”

Military- French French Industrial Corsicans OAS Complex

“Rogue” Anti-Castro Media CIA Cubans Cover-Up Operatives

This first model shows a box (which Michael Collins Pip er calls “the Mossad Box”) into which a variety of smaller boxes fit together into a perfect square. The shaded area represents the Mossad linkage which interconnects with all of the other commonly accepted “suspects” linked to the JFK assassination and its cover-up. According to Piper, this model demonstrates that all of the major theories about the JFK assassination which are widely accepted all fit quite easily into the “Mossad Box,” if all of the evidence (as laid out in Final Judgment) is taken together. Piper adds that “the oil barons” and “right wing extremists” and the FBI itself could also be added to the list, as Final Judgment has shown. 415 Photo Section

THE CONFUSING PICTURE ON FRONT OF THE PUZZLE

This second model shows a jigsaw puzzle, containing many seemingly disparate pieces (above) which present a view of a seemingly complex conspiracy. All of the pieces on the front of the puzzle are, in intelligence jargon, “false flags,” used with exquisite skill to confuse those seeking the truth about who really killed John F. Kennedy—and why. However, if you look at “the other side of the jigsaw puzzle” (below) you see that all the pieces taken together illustrate a startlingly clear picture of the Israeli flag.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE JIGSAW PUZZLE... Photo Section 416

This third circular “tunnel” model (shown above) illustrates how as one pushes further and further behind the scenes in investigating the key players linked to the JFK assassination conspiracy, one ultimately reaches the core of the conspiracy: Israel’s Mossad which, in this model, is represented by the Mossad logo in the center.

LANSKYSYNDICATE

This fourth model—which Piper calls “the Permindex Star”—also demonstrates the centrality of the Mossad link to all of the key elements involved in the JFK assassination conspiracy and cover-up in one aspect or another. This model includes the “Peking” connection referring to the secret joint nuclear bomb production program between Israel and Red China, forged by the Mossad’s Shaul Eisenberg, a key player in the Permindex web. 417 Photo Section

This chart demonstrates the Mossad connections between the key players in the JFK conspiracy, particularly to those in the CIA- and Lansky Syndicate-connected elements in New Orleans who “sheep dipped” Lee Harvey Oswald as a “pro-Castro agitator” in the summer of 1963. (Note, however, that the chart does not indicate many other significant links; for example: Jack Ruby’s ties to Lansky and to Israeli arms smuggling or the control of the Chicago Mafia by Mossad collaborator Hyman Larner. Nor does it relate the likely role of Corsican hit men recruited through Israeli sympathizers in French intelligence.) The relationship between all of these seemingly diverse elements is outlined in Final Judgment. Most JFK researchers go no further than the “CIA-Mafia” nexus in New Orleans (illustrated by the area in gray). However, even Frank Sturgis—a longtime CIA and Mossad asset who claimed to have participated in the JFK assassination—can be considered a part of this nexus through his role in training anti-Castro Cuban exiles outside New Orleans. JFK researchers who do claim “The Mafia Killed JFK” carefully disregard Clay Shaw’s link to the Lansky Syndicate through Permindex. Photo Section 418

Famed Israeli journalist Barry Chamish (left), recently wrote that Final Judgment “makes a pretty cogent case for the Mossad being the moving force behind the assassination of JFK.” A self-described “Zionist” who says he is “committed to the strength and survival of Israel,” Chamish accepts Final Judgment’s contention that the Permindex corporation was a Mossad front for covert operations and that it is plausible that Israeli Prime Minister Ben-Gurion would have lent Mossad expertise to the plot to the kill JFK as a result of Ben-Gurion’s dissatisfaction with JFK’s opposition to Israel’s nuclear aims. Earlier, on Aug. 31, 1996, Ray Kalainikas, a reader of Final Judgment, encountered famed CBS broadcaster Walter Cronkite (right) at the farmer’s market in West Tisbury on Martha’s Vineyard. Kalainikas outlined the thesis of Final Judgment to Cronkite, who listened intently. Then, looking out to sea, Cronkite remarked succinctly: “I can’t think of any group—with the exception of Israeli intelligence—that would have been able to keep the JFK assassination conspiracy under wraps for so long.”

The idea that Israel’s Mossad would conspire against an American president—the precise thesis of Final Judgment—gained new credibility when it was revealed by Gordon Thomas in his book, Gideon’s Spies, that the Mossad had blackmailed President Bill Clin- ton with illicitly recorded conversations between the president and Monica Lewinsky. This revelation added fuel to the impeachment drive against Clinton at a time when there was growing conflict between Clinton and Israel. Later, Clinton enraged the Israeli lobby by publicly raising questions about Israel’s “secret” nuclear arms program—following in the footsteps of his hero, John F. Kennedy who had done the same thing privately. Although numerous Israeli “connections” to the circumstances surrounding the Lewinsky affair did emerge, the full story about the Mossad role in the matter remains untold. 419 Photo Section

In the wake of growing public awareness of the facts put forth in Final Judgment about the long-secret conflict between the Kennedy family and Israel, the Israeli lobby has begun a major effort to suppress the unpleasant truth. On June 3, 1998 during a week-long 50th anniversary celebration of the birth of Israel held at Union Station in Washington, D.C. (shown above) there was a special program: “Remembering Robert Kennedy,” sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League. The program noted that “This event is a tribute to the strong bond between the Kennedy family and the State of Israel”—although, of course, that is simply a myth that has no bearing in geopolitical or historical reality.

The 1966 United States Note (shown above), is in the possession of a highly regarded veteran critic of the Federal Reserve. Its existence proves, beyond question, that it is an absolute myth that no U.S. Notes were issued after the JFK assassination and refutes the theory that JFK was killed because he ordered U.S. Notes taken out of circulation and that, upon his death, his successor, Lyndon Johnson, reversed JFK’s order. Final Judgment demonstrates that JFK’s order had nothing to do with U.S. Notes whatsoever. Although the Kennedy family did oppose the Federal Reserve and ultimately intended to challenge that monopoly, the myth about “JFK’s Greenbacks” has muddied the waters in the debate over the JFK conspiracy and it is a myth (in which so many have vested so much wishful thinking) that simply refuses to go away, the facts notwithstanding.
