Foreword: The Other Side of the Jigsaw Puzzle . . .<br />

armed guards very much in evidence as hundreds of people crowded into<br />

the meeting room and into an adjoining room where the overflow audience<br />

was able to watch the proceedings live via the magic of video.<br />

Waiting outside, prior to the meeting, an idealistic young reporter for a<br />

local Jewish community newspaper made energetic efforts to pin me down<br />

as a "Holocaust denier" and an "anti-Semite" and to challenge the thesis of<br />

<strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong>. However, Bob Ourlian, a reporter from the Los Angeles<br />

Times, was overheard whispering to the young lady, "Don't try to argue<br />

with this guy. He's very articulate and knows what he's talking about," and<br />

she quickly (and wisely) changed her approach.<br />

One week prior to this, I had actually sent Ourlian a copy of <strong>Final</strong><br />

<strong>Judgment</strong>, so he knew full well the book was thoroughly documented and<br />

that I was fully in command of the information that I had presented. As far<br />

as the Holocaust was concerned, I told the press this:<br />

I'm tired of hearing about the Holocaust. It's<br />

boring. Enough already. It happened more than 50<br />

years ago—long before I was born. My grandmother<br />

sent four of her sons—my father and three of his<br />

brothers—off to fight in World War II.<br />

They were involved in Holocaust rescue activities<br />

as members of the U.S. military. My father spent time<br />

in a veteran's hospital for his efforts on behalf of the<br />

Jews. So please: I really don't want to hear about the<br />

Holocaust. I'm here to talk about the JFK<br />

assassination.<br />

But if you want to know about a real Holocaust,<br />

that's happening right now, let's take a look at what's<br />

happening to the American Indians on the<br />

concentration camps in the United States that are<br />

euphemistically called "reservations. "<br />

My great-great-grandfather was a full-blooded<br />

American Indian and for all I know, I have relatives<br />

on the reservations today, suffering malnutrition,<br />

alcoholism, high rates of suicide and other tragedies.<br />

Despite all this, the federal government is cutting<br />

aid to the reservations, yet billions of American tax<br />

dollars are going to Israel. If you want to talk about<br />

that Holocaust, I'll be more than glad to.<br />

Needless to say, the reporters didn't seem interested in discussing that<br />

subject, and frankly, I'm not surprised.<br />

It was quite a drama. The corpulent Professor Roy Bauer also put in an<br />

appearance accompanied by a coterie of giggling and notably unattractive<br />

women who cooed at his witticisms as he circulated a malicious four-page<br />

"report" entitled "Just Who Is Michael Collins Piper?" which purported to<br />

detail my crimes against the Jewish people. But what was interesting was<br />

that Bauer had backed off in his charge that I was a "Holocaust denier,"<br />

now contending that I was only "reportedly" a Holocaust "revisionist."
