[442] <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> 539<br />

With rare exceptions, one must adopt certain doctrines of the faith<br />

to enter the arena of debate—at least before any substantial segment of<br />

the public . . . 1107<br />

In the case of the debate over the JFK assassination, one of the new<br />

"certain doctrines of the faith" that must be accepted in order "to enter the<br />

arena of the debate" is that—under no circumstances—can one suggest any<br />

of the following:<br />

1) that Israel had reason to be hostile to John F. Kennedy.<br />

2) that U.S. Middle East policy did a 180-degree turnabout upon the<br />

death of John F. Kennedy;<br />

3) that Israel's Mossad had any role whatsoever—any role at all—in the<br />

assassination of John F. Kennedy.<br />

You can believe that there was some sort of "flying saucer connection."<br />

Or that Nazis did it. Or, most popularly, that the Mafia killed JFK. You can<br />

even say that a few "rogue" CIA types were involved. But don't ever say<br />

anything about Israel and the Mossad. That's when you become<br />

"irresponsible" and go "beyond the pale." Don't do it!<br />

If you do, they'll call you an "anti-Semite"—or maybe even a<br />

"Holocaust denier," which is evidently now the latest gimmick in the<br />

ongoing effort to silence those (such as myself) who have dared publicly<br />

pinpoint the role of Israel in the crime of the century. It's something that<br />

just apparently may not be done.<br />

A 'REAL HISTORY' OF THE JFK ASSASSINATION?<br />

The Washington Post—always a defender of the interests of the<br />

CIA and its allies in the Mossad—recently provided its readers with a hint<br />

that, perhaps, there will ultimately be an "official" popular determination—a<br />

"consensus"—as to the "real history of the Kennedy assassination."'" That<br />

is, a "history" that satisfies virtually everybody. In other words, the real<br />

truth about who killed John F. Kennedy—and why—be damned.<br />

In promoting this presumably forthcoming "real history," the Post<br />

published a remarkably revealing "think piece" by one of its staff editors,<br />

Jefferson Morley, in which young Morley opined that "we are closer than<br />

ever to having a firm factual basis for an assassination consensus." 1109<br />

Morley, in fact, is not so much concerned with finding out who was<br />

responsible for the assassination of the American president, but, instead, is<br />

more concerned with restoring the faith of the American people in the very<br />

government whose intelligence agency—the CIA—played a central role in<br />

the assassination and its cover-up. According to Morley, "The Kennedy<br />

assassination is a factor in the crisis of legitimacy that now undermines the<br />

U.S. government's ability to address a wide variety of public ills. The<br />

inability of the government to present a credible explanation of how<br />

Kennedy was killed is not the only nor the most important reason for the<br />

decline. But it surely has played a role. Reaching a common understanding
