[332] <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> 429<br />

play some still un-detected role in manipulating Oswald's activities in New<br />

Orleans? These are just a few interesting questions that need to be answered.<br />

THE BARRY SEAL CONNECTION<br />

There is yet one last matter relating to the New Orleans connection that bears<br />

mentioning. In the spring of 2000, independent film producer Dan Hopsicker<br />

released a remarkable video, In Search of the American Drug Lords: Barry<br />

and the Boys—From Dallas to Mena, 841 focusing on Hopsicker's threeyear<br />

long investigation of CIA pilot and drug smuggler Barry Seal, best<br />

known for his role in the CIA's arms-drugs-and-money laundering<br />

operations out of the tiny Mena, Arkansas airport during the 1980s as part<br />

of the infamous Iran-contra operations that (largely unknown to the<br />

American public) very much involved Israel and the Mossad. 842<br />

In his film, Hopsicker demonstrates not only that Lee Harvey Oswald did<br />

have long-standing connections to David Ferrie (efforts to refute that fact<br />

notwithstanding) but also that it was Ferrie who recruited Seal into the<br />

CIA's intrigue, Ferrie having had high-level intelligence connections going<br />

back as far as his service as a pilot during World War II.<br />

What's more, Hopsicker has uncovered new information which suggests<br />

that Seal may have been a get-away pilot for one or more of the JFK<br />

assassins. Thus perhaps Ferrie himself was not a get-away pilot per se (as<br />

long surmised) but instead he was actually coordinating Seal's role in that<br />

regard, a role which would explain Ferries famous mad dash across<br />

Louisiana into Texas immediately after the assassination.<br />

And although Hopsicker does not delve into the Mossad connection, the<br />

fact is the CIA and the Mossad have worked closely in the global drug trade,<br />

using its resources to finance their joint international operations. It is thus<br />

conceivable that this would provide us yet another as-yet-undetermined<br />

Mossad connection as far as the activities of David Ferrie are concerned.<br />

THE BIG PICTURE OF 'THE BIG EASY'<br />

These are the types of details—taken together—that paint a picture fully in<br />

line with the thesis of <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> and which demonstrate that the New<br />

Orleans connection is critical to understanding the forces behind the intrigue<br />

surrounding Lee Harvey Oswald prior to the murder of President Kennedy.<br />

Contrary to what some researchers might contend, the evidence does not<br />

point to a "right wing" conspiracy at all, but instead one with multiple ties to<br />

both the CIA and Israel's Mossad.
