Final_Judgment

1) There is no question that Berlet has collaborated closely with the
ADL to the point that they consider him little more than a "shill" for the
ADL and at worst, possibly one of its paid operatives; and
2) Berlet himself may also have covert connections to the CIA,
including involvement with a CIA-financed "student" group of the 1960's.
There are others who have pointed out that despite his preppy
nickname, Berlet's real name is John Foster Berlet. He was named after
former Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who was apparently
associated with Berlet's father. Dulles' brother, Allen, of course, was not
only fired as CIA director by JFK but later went on to serve as a member of
the Warren Commission which covered up the truth about the assassination.
So inasmuch as Final Judgment indicts the CIA for collaborating with
the Mossad in the JFK assassination we can understand why Berlet (and
Posner) are eager to keep Final Judgment under wraps. Obviously, the ADL
directed the Los Angeles Times to both Posner and Berlet, knowing that the
two CIA-connected "authorities" would come through as they did.
The Times also quoted Roy Bauer, a philosophy instructor, at the Irvine
Valley College, as referring to me (and the other scheduled speakers at the
conference) as "crackpots." (It was Bauer, it seems, who originally called the
ADL to complain about my impending presence at the seminar.)
I am certain Bauer never read my book, so for him to accuse me of
being a "crackpot" is malicious and baseless name-calling of the worst sort.
What's more, although I am not familiar with the "philosophy" espoused in
the classroom by the good professor it is clearly not a philosophy in line
with the American tradition of freedom of speech.
I made repeated efforts to contact Bauer to speak to him directly but he
refused to return my calls. When I finally did reach Bauer, he told me that
he had been "advised" not to speak with me and promptly hung up. This
advice, I'm sure, came directly from Bauer's friends at the ADL. For years
the ADL has maintained a policy of "refusing to debate" those it otherwise
so feverishly attacks through the press. The anguished Bauer, evidently was
comfortable throwing brickbats from afar and by calling in the "thought
police" at the ADL, but he didn't have the fortitude to confront me directly.
The Los Angeles Times also reported, incidentally, that college trustee
Steve Frogue, the sponsor of the ill-fated college seminar, had claimed
some time ago that "the ADL was behind" the Kennedy assassination.
Frogue did not say this. What Frogue, in fact, said was that there was
evidence (clearly documented in Final Judgment) that it was possible that
Lee Harvey Oswald's strange activities in New Orleans were part of one of
the ADL's famous (or infamous) "fact finding" operations.
The Times reporter (perhaps) misunderstood Frogue's remarks about
the ADL's connection to Oswald, but now that misinterpretation has been
reported again and again and has taken on a life of its own. But Frogue
didn't say what he was alleged to have said. However, in Final Judgment
Oswald's (surprising) ADL connection(s) are examined for the first time.
Poor Mr. Frogue. As a young admirer of JFK, Frogue was preparing to
join the Peace Corps, inspired by Kennedy's New Frontier. Upon the death
