326 They Dare Not Speak Out [265]
Francisco Examiner and the Los Angeles Times, in particular, received
nationwide distribution, doing immense damage to the ADL's long-standing
pose as a "civil rights" organization.
THE ANGLETON CONNECTION
The longtime chief of the ADL's spy network (euphemistically called
its "fact finding division") was one Irwin Suall who operated out of ADL
headquarters in Manhattan. Formerly active in the labor movement, Suall
was a protégé of Jay Lovestone, whom we first met in Chapter 8.
Suall's mentor, it will be recalled, was Mossad-allied CIA spymaster
James J. Angleton's point man in the CIA's dealings with the Lansky
Syndicate-linked Corsican and Sicilian crime organizations.
These foreign crime elements (which handled the Lansky-run drug racket
in Europe) were also utilized by the CIA in its campaign against left-wing
labor movements in the Mediterranean during the post-war period.
Since James J. Angleton was dismissed from his CIA post after
revelations of his involvement in illegal domestic spying by the CIA, we
cannot help but speculate that, in light of revelations about ADL spying,
Angleton almost certainly relied upon the good offices of his friends at the
Mossad-linked ADL for much information.
(In Chapter 15 we pointed out that the FBI also utilized the ADL as a
spy asset, noting, in particular the ADL's spying operations aimed at civil
rights leader, Martin Luther King, Jr.)
THE ADL AND THE JFK ASSASSINATION
That the ADL would have a hand in shaping JFK assassination news
coverage was inevitable, particularly in light of the revelations we have put
forth in the pages of this volume.
In fact, on the first occasion when the Establishment media put forth a
theory that perhaps Lee Harvey Oswald was indeed part of a much bigger
conspiracy, it was in a news story leaked by two major columnists who
were very close to not only the ADL but also to key figures in the Meyer
Lansky Crime Syndicate. The case study we are about to examine is highly
significant and illustrates the point all too well.
THE PEARSON/ANDERSON COVER STORY
On March 3, 1967, syndicated columnist Drew Pearson and his
understudy, Jack Anderson, floated a story which suggested that Fidel Castro
had been behind the JFK murder. (This column appeared during the time
that New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison was in the earliest stages
of his own controversial assassination inquiry.)
Interestingly, Pearson and Anderson even slanted their column to
suggest that somehow then-Attorney General Robert Kennedy, the
president's younger brother who was elected to the Senate from New York in
