[58] Final Judgment 119
Shamir (later Israeli Prime Minister) who headed a special Mossad hit squad
during his service in the Mossad.
The Israeli newspaper reported that Shamir headed the assassination unit
from 1955 until 1964—the year after JFK' s assassination. "The unit carried
out attacks on perceived enemies and suspected Nazi War criminals," 147
according to an account of the newspaper's report.
"In February 1963 Mr. Shamir dispatched squads on two unsuccessful
attempts to assassinate Hans Kleinwachter, a German scientist suspected of
helping Egypt develop missiles. Another German scientist working for the
Egyptians, Heinz Krug, disappeared mysteriously in September 1962." 148
Shamir's operatives were suspected of having been responsible.
According to the Israeli newspaper, Shamir had recruited members for
his Mossad hit squad from former members of the Stern Gang, the
underground terrorist group that Shamir led during Israel's fight for
independence. The Stern Gang was responsible for the murder, in 1944, of
Lord Moyne, Britain's resident Mideast minister, and for the slaying of U.N.
mediator Count Folke Bernadotte in 1948. 149
We have already seen that Kennedy—like Moyne and Bernadotte—was a
"perceived enemy" of Israel and its embittered Prime Minister, David Ben-
Gurion. And now we know of the existence of the Mossad hit squad that
played a major role in the conspiracy that brought about the death of John
F. Kennedy. In Chapter 16 we shall learn precisely how this Mossadorchestrated
conspiracy came about.
THE ENEMIES COME TOGETHER
With Israel's intimate ties to not only the American CIA but also the
Meyer Lansky Organized Crime Syndicate—which we will examine in
much further detail—the Israeli prime minister and his Mossad operatives
had in place a network of allies with whom they could easily collaborate in
orchestrating the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Each of these powerful forces had good reason to take drastic action to
put an end to the threat posed by JFK. That they undoubtedly came together
in a joint conspiracy we shall document in this volume.
THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH
With John F. Kennedy lying in a grave in Arlington National
Cemetery, Israel was safe—for the time being at least. The modern-day heir
of Haman's legacy had been destroyed. That Lyndon Johnson—a man with a
steadfast history of loyalty to Israel and its American lobby—was in line to
assume the American presidency was a fact not gone unnoticed. Israel's
messiah had come.
