[300] <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> 361<br />

As we have seen it was the Mossad's CIA asset and willing<br />

collaborator, James Jesus Angleton, who sent Hunt to Dallas in November<br />

of 1963. Only Hunt can tell us just what he was doing in Dallas—or what<br />

he thought he was doing. Was Hunt—like Oswald—a patsy?<br />

Hunt himself admitted, under oath, that he believed it possible that his<br />

former colleagues at the CIA would consider framing him for the Kennedy<br />

assassination. However, Hunt has never explained—at least publicly—what<br />

he was doing in Dallas on November 21, 1963, the day before John F.<br />

Kennedy's assassination. Instead, Hunt says he was not there.<br />

Longtime Mossad asset Frank Sturgis—who also doubled as a CIA<br />

contract agent—met with Hunt (and with Jack Ruby) in Dallas the day<br />

before the assassination. Later Sturgis told Marita Lorenz, that he had been<br />

involved in the assassination itself. Looking at Sturgis alone, we can thus<br />

say, without qualification, that a known Mossad asset has thus confessed to<br />

have played a direct part in the president's murder.<br />

In addition, as we have seen, various sources have suggested that there<br />

were at least several people operating in Dealey Plaza on November 22 who<br />

believed that they were there as part of a "Mafia" hit aimed not at Kennedy,<br />

but instead at Texas Governor John B. Connally<br />

The use of "false flags," has been a classic Mossad tactic, a standard<br />

practice of Israel's spy agency. And as we saw in Chapter 16, according to<br />

former Mossad operative, Victor Ostrovsky, he and his fellow Mossad<br />

trainees were told by their superiors that Kennedy's assassination was, in<br />

fact, an accident. The real target, or so the Mossad claimed, was Connally<br />

who had been targeted by "the Mafia."<br />

JACK RUBY, MICKEN COHEN AND THE MOSSAD<br />

As we saw in Chapter 13, Lansky's West Coast lieutenant Mickey<br />

Cohen—who maintained intimate ties to Israeli arms smuggling—played a<br />

bizarre role in intrigue against JFK. Cohen also had a longstanding link to<br />

Jack Ruby who was, himself, involved in smuggling arms to Israel. In fact,<br />

as we have seen, Ruby (who also trafficked in U.S. intelligence circles) was<br />

definitively "more Mossad than Mafia," quite in contrast to the old legends<br />

swirling about Ruby and his alleged "Mafia connections."<br />

Just shortly before the JFK assassination, Al Gruber—a henchman of<br />

Mickey Cohen and a longtime Ruby friend (who hadn't seen Ruby in<br />

years)—showed up in Dallas to visit Ruby. Then, just about an hour after<br />

Lee Harvey Oswald's arrest was made public, Ruby called Gruber. It may<br />

be speculated that Ruby called Gruber to advise him that the chosen patsy<br />

had not been killed before his arrest, as planned, and that Ruby was then<br />

told it was his responsibility to finish the job.<br />

Mickey Cohen's friend and lawyer, Melvin Belli, promptly stepped in as<br />

Jack Ruby's defense counsel, further tying Ruby to the Israeli-linked Lansky-<br />

Cohen apparatus that few JFK researchers care to address, preferring<br />

instead to focus on Ruby's mythical "ties to the Mafia."
