HINTS ABOUT ISRAEL . . .
One veteran JFK assassination researcher of some prominence, Peter
Dale Scott, who has been cited extensively in the pages of Final Judgment,
has come close to hinting at possible Israeli links buried in the murky
depths of the JFK assassination conspiracy.
In his excellent book Deep Politics and the Death of JFK, Scott has
gone further than most JFK assassination researchers in exploring the
recurring Meyer Lansky connection to Jack Ruby and the CIA, for example,
and pointing out CIA man James Jesus Angleton's peculiar role in the JFK
controversy which we have outlined in detail in these pages.
In these areas, among others, Scott has clearly done his research, but
one cannot read his book without thinking that Scott has likewise tip-toed
up to the Israeli connection, but refused to draw the obvious conclusions for
his readers. Scott says a lot about many things, but says nothing when it
comes to the Israeli links to the JFK assassination that have been thoroughly
documented in Final Judgment. And despite his in-depth research in a wide
variety of subjects relating to the JFK controversy, Scott has absolutely
nothing to say whatsoever about Clay Shaw's Permindex connection. It is
something that Scott obviously would prefer not to discuss.
It is interesting to note that in his acknowledgements among those Scott
thanks for assistance in the preparation of his book are two rather
interesting sources: Wesley McCune of Group Research, Inc. and Michael
Lerner. 1092 While ostensibly an "independent" research entity, Group
Research has generally been described by its critics as a "front" for the
Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith, the influential self-styled
"civil rights" organization that has been exposed as an intelligence and
propaganda conduit for Israel's Mossad.
As noted in Chapter 17, the ADL's long-suspected Mossad link was
brought to public light in a broad-ranging investigation by the San
Francisco Police Department of the ADL's covert domestic spying
operations aimed at a wide variety of both "right wing" and "left wing"
political groups in the United States. Scott's other source, Michael Lerner, a
prominent liberal philosopher, also happens to be the publisher of Tikkun
magazine, a Jewish-oriented journal which has emerged as a major voice for
the Israeli lobby.
That these sources played a part in shaping Scott's final judgment (if it
can be described as such) perhaps explains in part Scott's clear and repeated
effort to avoid broaching the Israeli connection to the assassination of
President Kennedy.
