[564] Final Judgment 660
someone can prove to me that the Vatican was ultimately behind the JFK
assassination conspiracy, manipulating the CIA and the Mossad, for
example, I might be willing to believe it. All I ask is for somebody to show
me the evidence. It's as simple as that. And if I'm wrong, I want people to
show me where I'm wrong. That's not too much to ask. It would be ideal if
everybody could work together, but it will never happen.
There's a lot of politics involved here as well. Many of the JFK
assassination researchers are blinded by a liberal bias and they have a liberal
axe to grind. Because of that they seem to see JFK as the victim of some
Republican-oriented, Richard Nixon-orchestrated right-wing conspiracy
(even though real "right wingers" certainly don't think of Nixon himself as
being one of their own). These researchers are fixated on the image of JFK
being some sort of liberal icon.
However, the irony of the situation is that one of the pet liberal
causes—support for the state of Israel and its demands on the American
taxpayers—was not something that JFK was promoting during his
presidency. Instead, JFK was at war behind the scenes with Israel. It's all
documented, of course, but these researchers are loathe to admit it. Plus, I
might add, they have their friends in the Israeli lobby whispering in their
ears and saying, "Don't pay attention to that man behind the curtain."
Now there is money involved in all of this. The JFK assassination has
spawned a thriving mini-industry and the authors and publishers are at war
with each other in the struggle for recognition and respectability. I suppose
I'm shut out on both accounts, but the other researchers do have a shot at
the big time and they'll never achieve any major financial success if they
make the mistake of pinpointing Israel's role in the assassination.
Film-maker Oliver Stone now plays a major role in this mini-industry,
as I've pointed out. JFK writers trip over one another trying to get Stone's
endorsement for their books and Stone is not about to promote anything that
would even dare hint at Israeli involvement in light of the facts that we
know about Stone and his Israeli associates. Stone has liberally sprinkled
money among the ranks of JFK assassination researchers whom he
employed as "consultants" to his film and this, too, has had an impact on
the growth of independent research.
Likewise we find another factor. One firm that has issued several JFK
assassination books, Shapolsky Publishers (now defunct), was an affiliate of
an Israeli publishing company. People hoping to get their books published
don't want to express any opinions that might prevent their works from
being shelved. People know where their bread is buttered.
There was one firm, Carroll & Graf, that I twice attempted to interest in
Final Judgment, both before the initial publication and after the publication
of the second edition. The first time they never even sent me a letter of
rejection. They simply sent the manuscript back. The second time I wrote
them I did get a letter back from Mr. Carroll himself after I pointed out that
I had not even gotten a formal letter of rejection. His note was very curt
saying, "We can't use your manuscript at this time," although since then he
has issued a number of JFK assassination books.
