[204] <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> 265<br />

Intelligence agent Guy Banister, according to a CIA document, reported to<br />

the FBI in New Orleans." 581 [emphasis added]<br />

That the ADL did, in fact, report back to the FBI, a long-standing<br />

relationship cemented by J. Edgar Hoover himself, is now common<br />

knowledge, a fact that we shall examine further in Chapter 17.<br />

The FBI files of another prominent Black civil rights leader of the<br />

1960's, Dick Gregory, demonstrate conclusively that the ADL which was<br />

actually monitoring his public lectures and then turning the information<br />

over to the FBI as part of its COINTELPRO operations.<br />

And as we saw in Chapter 7, it was COINTELPRO, carried out by the<br />

FBI's Division Five, that was under the direct control of William Sullivan,<br />

who was effectively a CIA "mole" inside the FBI for his close friend, the<br />

Mossad's CIA ally, James J. Angleton.<br />

(In Chapter 17 we will explore the activities of the ADL further, paying<br />

particular attention to the apparent manipulation of media coverage of the<br />

controversy over the JFK assassination by the ADL and by ADL-linked<br />

sources in New Orleans. Furthermore, in Appendix Two we shall examine a<br />

little-explored link between Lee Harvey Oswald and at least one covert<br />

government informant who almost certainly had connections with the ADL.<br />

And in Appendix Three we will learn much more about Guy Banister's<br />

strange "right wing" connections that actually point toward the ADL.)<br />

Whatever the case, it is very clear that the Mossad and the CIA had a<br />

direct hand in the strange activities of Clay Shaw, Guy Banister, David<br />

Ferrie and Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans during the summer of 1963.<br />

Both the Mossad and the CIA were intimately tied with the Permindex<br />

plot against French President Charles DeGaulle and with the Permindex plot<br />

against John F. Kennedy. In the bloody conflict over Algerian Arab<br />

independence both Kennedy and DeGaulle found themselves on the same side<br />

of the issue—and in opposition to the Mossad and its allies in the CIA.<br />

A VISIT FROM PERMINDEX<br />

That New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison was indeed on the<br />

right track is illustrated by a strange visit that Garrison got during the early<br />

days of his investigation. A Denver oilman, later identified by investigators<br />

as John King, appeared in Garrison's office and offered to arrange the district<br />

attorney's appointment to a federal judgeship in return for Garrison's<br />

abandonment of his investigation.<br />

King very clearly had inside information about the nature of Garrison's<br />

inquiry and was obviously interested in shutting it down before it went any<br />

further. Garrison would not be bribed, however, and promptly showed the<br />

gentleman to the door.<br />

It just so happens that during the very period of King's mysterious visit<br />

to New Orleans, the "Denver oilman" was engaged in lucrative international<br />

business dealings with Bernie Cornfeld, the Geneva-based head of the<br />

Investors Overseas Service (IOS). King's other interests included oil drilling<br />

offshore of the Sinai peninsula, Arab territory seized by the Israelis in
