[432] <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> 529<br />

This author can only conclude that these "researchers" who have spun<br />

their wheels, expended vast amounts of time, energy and money (not to<br />

mention having made money at that) in delving into the JFK affair would<br />

rather not cross the line, so to speak. I understand their reasoning, of course,<br />

but, at the same time, I am compelled to question their integrity.<br />

However, there have been a number of long-time JFK assassination<br />

researchers who have privately favorably acknowledged <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong><br />

and the substance of its claims, whether they agree with its conclusions in<br />

the entirety or not. I will not name them here and thereby burden them with<br />

the possibility of being tarred as "anti-Semites"—the favorite term reserved<br />

for those who dare to criticize the actions of Israel—but they know who<br />

they are and their support has been appreciated.<br />

SIMILAR CONCLUSIONS<br />

Just before <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> was first published, I was delighted to learn that<br />

one long-time JFK assassination researcher, Philip Ten Brink, working<br />

entirely independently of this author, not so surprisingly reached essentially<br />

the same conclusions reached in <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong>, even up to and including a<br />

number of fine points that some might find somewhat esoteric. I am<br />

compelled to repeat the old saw that "great minds think alike," but I would<br />

be overstating the case in so doing. It is simply that the facts are there for<br />

those who wish to recognize them for what they are.<br />

Ten Brink discovered on his own that pointing the finger in the<br />

direction of Israel and the Mossad is not good public relations. When he<br />

spoke on his findings at the 1993 symposium of the JFK Assassination<br />

Information Center in Dallas, Ten Brink advised me, there were a lot of<br />

people who were uneasy, to say the least, that someone within their ranks<br />

was being "politically incorrect." Hats off to Ten Brink for having the guts<br />

to call the shots at he saw it. The same can't be said for those JFK<br />

assassination researchers who see the truth but are afraid to admit it.<br />

After the fourth edition of <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> was published, I learned of<br />

another JFK researcher, Dave Sharp, who had been active on Internet news<br />

groups for some time, making the allegation that Jewish political interests—<br />

particularly the Bronfman family of Canada—were behind the JFK<br />

assassination. At that point, not having yet read <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong>, Sharp<br />

apparently had no idea of the conflict between JFK and Ben-Gurion over<br />

Israel's nuclear bomb, so it would seem that <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> did indeed fill<br />

in a missing piece of the puzzle for Sharp.<br />

However, Sharp himself has since then been critical of <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong>,<br />

suggesting that I fell down on the job in failing to discuss the Holocaust and<br />

the way that it has been used as a political tool by the Israeli lobby. That's<br />

Sharp's opinion, of course, but—as I have said time and again—<strong>Final</strong><br />

<strong>Judgment</strong> is about the JFK assassination, not about the Holocaust.
