[444] Final Judgment 541
SOME CONCLUDING REMARKS . . .
Those who are ostensibly seeking the truth about the murder of
President Kennedy but who continue to ignore the very clear role played by
Israel and its Mossad in the assassination are perhaps, in the end, the
greatest enemies of the truth.
If I am wrong about Mossad involvement, I ask my critics to show me
where I'm wrong. If even JFK's admirers are unable to face the truth and
expose it to the light of day, then America and the world face a very grave
crisis indeed.
Frankly, I do find it frustrating—but I understand why—that others
have steered clear of that one controversial area of research that is so central
to divining the truth about the murder of President Kennedy.
After all, as recently as November 28, 2003— the influential Jewish
community newspaper, Forward, "celebrated" the 40 th anniversary of the
assassination by trying to refute "conspiracy theories"—particularly that
presented in Final Judgment, which Forward described as being "more
sinister" 1120 than any other.
I have no regrets whatsoever about having made the decision to write
the book. A few people have suggested I should have appended a nom de
plume upon the volume so I would be protected from the inevitable cries of
outrage that followed. However, had I done so, I would not have been able
to publicly defend my own work if I chose to hide behind a pen name.
In the end, I believe that I have put together a volume that does make
sense and one that most open-minded people, once they have read the book,
will agree puts forth a thesis that does make sense.
Most of those—probably all—who have attacked the book have not
read it. They have preferred to stand on the sidelines and attack the thesis,
but not the evidence that backs it up. The facts in the record do speak for
themselves. I am sorry those facts upset so many.
It is my hope that Final Judgment will, in some way, contribute to a
full understanding of not only the death of John F. Kennedy, but also of all
of the world-shaking events that followed—events that changed history.
More importantly, though, I hope we have all learned some lessons as a
result and that the American people will take whatever action is necessary
to right this great wrong.
