The Myth of Dallas: New Revelations
As the second printing of the sixth edition of Final Judgment was being readied
for press, a detailed 19-page anonymously written document, cited with 115
footnotes, relying on a wide variety of mainstream sources, arrived in the mailbox of
Final Judgment author Michael Collins Piper. The document was in an envelope
(with no return address) postmarked "Dallas, Texas." Entitled "The Kennedy
Assassination and Israel: Some Dallas Connections," the document—apparently the
work of a professional journalist—focused on "the specifics of how the Israelis could
have influenced the events in Dallas," filling in details never explored in previous
editions of Final Judgment. The data is quite explosive, particularly when
contrasted with the mythology regarding "Big D" repeated ad infinitum in JFK
literature. However, understanding the real Dallas—not the city of legend and of
Hollywood drama—prepares one for the revelations laid forth in Final Judgment.
The document buries the tired old myth that a clique of anti-Semitic White
Anglo-Saxon Protestant oil plutocrats ruled Dallas. Instead, the truth is quite the opposite.
Not only did Dallas have an immensely powerful Jewish community, but, more
importantly, the city (and Texas) had been a major center of fundraising and arms
smuggling on behalf of the Zionist cause, going back to the 1940s. Even Jonathan
Pollard, the American spy for Israel, said he was inspired to pro-Israel activism by
stories he heard (while living in Texas) of gunrunning for the Israeli underground by Jews
in Texas. In fact, the official published history of a major Zionist arms smuggling
operation, the Sonneborn Institute, reports its agents smuggled aircraft parts out of
Texas to Israel. This was happening when a then recently discharged Army Air Corps
aircraft mechanic, Jack Ruby, was re-settling in Dallas in 1947, the year prior to Israel's
birth, when Sonneborn's activities were at a zenith. Ruby bragged of having run arms to
Israel and, in 1963, is now known to have part of an arms smuggling operation overseen by
an Israeli intelligence officer. So the Israeli connection to Texas was a lot more intimate
than many today ever realized.
In 1963, JFK's primary interest in Dallas was raising money from the Dallas
elite, and that meant the wealthy pro-Israel Jewish Democrats who were major financial
angels for the ruling Democratic Party there. And since JFK was, at that time, at
loggerheads with Israel over its nuclear arms program, it is critical to recognize how JFK
was lured to Dallas and who was in charge of the arrangements that actually facilitated
his assassination. And while it is well known that the Dallas leg of JFK's Texas trip
was sponsored by the Citizens Council (CC), the elite business group that ruled
Dallas, the little-noticed evidence shows that two of the three key figures who dominated
the CC were Jewish—not "WASPs," as the legend of Dallas would have it. These were
the folks who really ran Dallas, not the conservatives affiliated with the John Birch
Society, as the old myth suggests. In 1963, one of those Jewish power brokers was an
outspokenly pro-Israel liquor wholesaler, Julius Schepps, who held the distribution rights
in Dallas for the Bronfman family's Seagram's products. And as we shall see, there
is evidence that Jack Ruby was on the payroll of the Bronfman family, whose
fingerprints are to be found all over the JFK assassination conspiracy.
The means by which the Dallas elite gained control of JFK's Dallas trip agenda is
interesting. Since JFK's Dallas trip was officially designated as "non political"—in contrast
to other Texas stops such as Houston and Austin which were designated as "political"—
the private entities paying for the Dallas trip gained control of the planning (taking
it out of the hands of the JFK-controlled Democratic National Committee). The
CC designated a "host committee." The chairman was Dallas Jewish leader and public
relations man, Sam Bloom, the CC's longtime executive director, and—in
retrospect—one of the least known but most pivotal figures in world history.
