report in the March 1997 issue of his George magazine alleging Israeli
intelligence was behind the Rabin assassination. Thus, concludes Chamish,
"We don't know what drove [JFK Jr.] to stand alone in seeking the Rabin
truth, but it may have had much to do with the information contained within
Final Judgment." From an Israeli, needless to say, this is a very powerful
endorsement and an honest one.
More recently, internationally known Israeli dissident Israel Shamir
cited Final Judgment in one of his writings. Shamir—not to be confused
with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir—has been hotly critical of
Israel's continuing violence and international intrigue against its enemies.
In Final Judgment you charge that long-time Israeli Prime Minister
Yitzhak Shamir was directly involved in the JFK assassination
conspiracy. Aren't you afraid of a libel suit from Shamir?
Shamir headed the Mossad's official hit team at the time of the JFK
assassination, so he is not very likely to want to bring attention to that fact
by bringing a libel suit against me. It would open up an unpleasant can of
worms that the Israelis would simply prefer to keep sealed.
You never actually say whom you believe the actual assassins were
who killed President Kennedy in Dallas. Who were they?
I do point out in the book that there have been several names put forth
as the possible "French" assassin in Dallas, most notably one Michael
Mertz. He had ties to not only the French intelligence service and to the
anti-DeGaulle forces in the OAS, but also to the Lansky-Trafficante drug
smuggling network and to the so-called Corsican Mafia whose members
were—in turn—fighting the OAS. So you see, this one possible assassin has
ties in multiple directions to various factions in French intelligence and to
all of the very non-French elements that were working against JFK.
There is strong evidence that anti-Castro Cuban exiles were involved in
some way in the events in Dealey Plaza. We have the Novo brothers
(Guillermo and Ignacio) whom former CIA contract operative Marita
Lorenz says accompanied her to Dallas arriving the day before the
assassination. We must not forget that the individual who was the "handler"
for Miss Lorenz and the Novos was Frank Sturgis who worked for years for
both the CIA and the Mossad and Sturgis himself later told Lorenz that his
team was involved in the assassination, although he never said that they
were the shooters, per se. Miss Lorenz testified that she had been told by
Sturgis that she would be acting as a "decoy" in the operation and it wasn't
until after the assassination that she realized her activities had brought her
into the sphere of the assassination conspiracy.
There were probably many people brought to Dallas as part of potential
or possible assassination teams and who were never in fact utilized or who
may have played some part, one way or another, either before or after the
crime took place. In the end, the actual assassins were only "trigger men"
