[522] Final Judgment 618
JFK assassination researchers seem to agree played at least a peripheral
role in the events leading up to the president's murder.
I thus have to ask Stone's defenders: what is their opinion of Stone's film
in light of what I think is significant evidence indeed that the Mossad played a
key part in the JFK assassination? Was Stone's film actually "black
propaganda" designed to give a popularized "final judgment," so to speak, to
the American people about what supposedly happened in Dallas? That is, in
effect, what the film has done, and it has done it in a fashion such that the
"solution" is far from anything but that.
What is your opinion of the film, Executive Action?
Mark Lane was one of the prime movers behind this film, but Lane
himself ultimately was unhappy with the final version of the film in that it
did not, in his view, adequately address the role of the CIA in the
assassination of President Kennedy. All in all, however, Executive Action is a
good film and very well constructed and there's no doubt that Stone relied
heavily on the foundation laid by Executive Action in structuring his own
film. Like Stone's film, Executive Action, does not name any high-level
conspirators per se. The film, like Stone's film, does betray a certain
"liberal" bias, if you will. I always find watching the film very instructive,
however, in that it does outline a theory, in a very concise fashion, of how a
small group of conspirators could have carried off the JFK assassination. I
would urge anyone who wants a capsule overview of the basic JFK
assassination conspiracy to see Executive Action.
What has been the reaction in the Arab world to your book,
inasmuch as it does lay the blame for the JFK assassination on Israel?
There have been Arab-Americans who have read the book and have
said it's a great book. One Arab-American—not a stereotypical "Rich Arab"
by the way; he's a Christian minister, no less—bought precisely 102 copies
of the book. I've sent copies to all of the Arab embassies and received one
letter of acknowledgment, saying, essentially: "Looking forward to
reading your book."
The Libyan Embassy in New York bought three additional copies of
the book after receiving my complimentary copy. But the book hasn't been
subsidized by the Arabs and it isn't Arab propaganda. It wasn't conceived
by the Arabs, either. It wasn't until even after the publication of the fourth
edition that a single Arab publishing house finally decided to publish an
Arabic translation of the book. So Arab money was never a factor behind
the publication and distribution of the initial publication of the book and the
truth is that even the Arabic-language publisher of the book has not
provided the book the kind of distribution that I would have expected.
I must say, though, that I was delighted when I received an invitation to
address the Second Green Dialogue for an Alternative World Order held in
Tripoli, Libya under the sponsorship of the Vienna-based Jamahir Society
