nations, as well as their strongest ally. It is not out of
the question that we could have even declared war
against them. They stood to lose far more than they
could ever gain.
Clearly, this argument against Mossad involvement in the conspiracy
simply does not wash. As I have pointed out, time and again in Final
Judgment, the Mossad was insulated from exposure not only through its
widespread contacts in the media, but also through its collaboration with the
CIA, not to mention the very apparent effort by the Johnson administration
and by the Warren Commission to keep the truth under wraps.
What's more, under LBJ, Israel had a dedicated long-time ally in the
White House, one who had benefited directly from JFK's assassination. So
there was never any question that—if I am correct that the Mossad was
involved, as I believe it was—the truth about Mossad complicity would
never be exposed by any official U.S. investigation.
For all his trouble, Harris ended up making history by getting sued for
his attacks on other targets of his wrath. The New York Times of June 11,
1999 featured a story describing how Harris had been sued for
inflammatory remarks that he had directed toward another person with
whom he had engaged in debate on the Internet. Yet, Harris is undaunted
and continues to make his presence felt. More power to him. He'll probably
be delighted to know that he's been mentioned in this new edition of Final
Judgment.
Another of my critics, Clint Bradford—who operates what is actually a
very good web site of JFK-related material—formally declared that "it is
my personal opinion that your book is 'anti-Jewish hate prose'" on a
posting on March 16, 1999. Bradford preferred to call me a bigot rather than
to address any of the specific allegations made in Final Judgment.
HERE COME THE NAZIS, AGAIN
Another rather colorful Internet news group participant, John
Bevilaqua, came up with the remarkable accusation that the building on
Capitol Hill in which my publisher's office is located was the headquarters
of the German-American Bund during World War II.
In fact, the building was owned by a Chinese-American businessman at
the time, but Bevilaqua's allegations do reflect the nature of the effort to
repudiate my thesis through the contorted process of guilt by association,
although, in this case, there was no such association!
Bevilaqua also spent much energy trying to suggest that Final
Judgment was a modern-day manifestation of the statement made by a
Georgia man, Joseph Milteer, to a police informant, Willie Somersett, that
in the days following the JFK assassination an "international underground"
of which Milteer claimed to be a part would orchestrate "a propaganda
campaign" to "prove to the Christian people of the world" that "the Zionist
Jews had murdered Kennedy."
