[238] Final Judgment 299
Could some of those involved in the JFK assassination been
manipulated into believing that they were involved in a plot against
Connally (when in fact the ultimate target was Kennedy)?
Under such a scenario—without delving into the mechanics of the JFK
assassination that have been considered time and again by those fascinated by
the subject—it is possible that one of the assassins in Dealey Plaza did, in
fact, take deliberate aim at Connally, perhaps not knowing that, at the same
time, other assassins of whom he was unaware, were, from another location,
taking aim at JFK. The Connally shooter was, in effect, a decoy.
In his biography of Connally, James Reston, Jr. suggests that Oswald had
been recruited by Jack Ruby as part of an organized crime plan to kill
Connally, rather than Kennedy. Reston suggests that Kennedy was the
victim, purely by chance.
THE MOSSAD'S JFK COVER STORY . . .
The unusual contention that Connally was the target and that Kennedy
was an unintended victim has some very interesting support.
Former Mossad operative Victor Ostrovsky writes in his book By Way
of Deception that part of his Mossad training included an in-depth review of
the JFK assassination which was part of the required course of study for all
new Mossad recruits.
According to Ostrovsky: "One particularly intriguing aspect of the
course was a movie called, "A President on the Crosshairs," a detailed study
of the November 22, 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy.
"The Mossad theory was that the killers—Mafiosa hit men, not Lee
Harvey Oswald—actually wanted to murder then Texas Governor John
Connally, who was in the car with JFK but was only wounded.
"Oswald was seen as a dupe in the whole thing and Connally as the
target of mobsters trying to muscle their way into the oil business.
"The Mossad believed that the official version of the assassination was
pure, unadulterated hokum. To test their theory, they did a simulation
exercise of the presidential cavalcade to see if expert marksmen with far
better equipment than Oswald's could hit a moving target from the recorded
distance of 88 yards. They couldn't. It would have been the perfect cover. If
Connally had been killed, everyone would have assumed it was an attempt
on JFK. If they'd wanted to get Kennedy, they could have got him
anywhere."
He writes: "According to what we found, the rifle was probably aimed
at the back of Connally's head, and JFK gestured or moved just at the wrong
moment—or possibly the assassin hesitated." 644
Now what Ostrovsky notes further is of particular interest, especially in
light of the theory presented in Final Judgment. According to Ostrovsky,
the Mossad had every film taken of the Dallas assassination, pictures of the
area, the topography, aerial photographs—everything.
