[510] Final Judgment 606
To get back to my French source: he had pointed me in a direction, at that
point, that I didn't totally understand. It required an immense amount of
additional research on my part to understand the history of French Algeria,
DeGaulle's conflicts with the OAS, DeGaulle's alliance with the Corsican
Mafia who fought the OAS on his behalf, and, of course, the conflicts
within DeGaulle's own intelligence agencies where there were immensely
conflicting loyalties over the Algerian controversy.
All of this was unfamiliar to me and it became apparent in the end that it
was an area that even many of the "veteran" JFK assassination researchers were
not familiar with although quite a few of them had talked about the "French
Connection." Henry Hurt, writing in Reasonable Doubt and Dick Russell,
writing in The Man Who Knew Too Much, had written about the French angle,
but neither of them attempted to analyze the entirety of the dynamics at work
in the French Connection. Those fighting DeGaulle were the very ones allied
with Israeli intelligence, but these researchers just didn't get it, so to speak.
Even the Establishment histories of the Algerian conflict acknowledge
that, in fact, the Israelis and people sympathetic to Israel's interests were
working with the OAS. It's all in the history books. So if there is anyone
who wants to try to pin the JFK assassination on the OAS, they cannot
honestly do that without fingering the Israeli connection.
To deny the Israeli connection is doing a disservice to the research. The
Israeli and OAS connection ties back to Clay Shaw in New Orleans and, of
course, to Guy Banister as well. You cannot ignore the Israeli connection to
Permindex vis-à-vis the JFK assassination any more than you can ignore the
critical Israeli connection to Permindex vis-à-vis OAS attempts to
assassinate Charles DeGaulle.
The reason why Permindex would be interested in killing Charles
DeGaulle was because Permindex was an Israeli front and DeGaulle's
policies on Algeria were inimical to the interests of Israel, just as, in turn,
JFK's policies were inimical to Israel. Therefore anyone who prefers to be
ignore all of this is being disingenuous, at the very least. The French
Connection is vital to understanding the JFK assassination.
In any case, in light of all these French connections, I substantially
revised Final Judgment's first draft and this proved somewhat startling to
me inasmuch as I had not expected that I would have to do this, having been
highly satisfied with the first draft itself.
However, having pursued the French Connection, I did indeed realize
that there was a French Connection which, of course, was ultimately the
Israeli connection. So it was that I revised the book and it was sent to press.
Upon publication of the first edition, I sent Final Judgment to the
French diplomat who wrote me back saying "good work" and added that
JFK would have been proud of me. That was satisfying, to say the least.
How reliable was your French source, Pierre Neuville?
