[512] Final Judgment 608
of the book I included many, many new details that brought the thesis even
more full circle. The subsequent editions contain much more. I'm amazed,
at this point, at how much I've come across.
I cannot help but recall that literally one day before the book was
scheduled to go to the printer for the first time and I felt that I had put
everything that I could possibly put in the pages of the book and was
content that the volume was complete (including all of the additional
information regarding the so-called French Connection), I happened to be
sitting on my living room floor flipping through a bound volume of a nowdefunct
newsletter. At that time I stumbled across something that literally
made me say out loud to myself: "Oh my God!" I had discovered something
else that unquestionably had to be added to the manuscript.
I had discovered a very, very significant fact, which ultimately
appeared in Chapter 15 of Final Judgment, wherein I dissect the Permindex
mystery: the connections between the Mossad, the CIA, the Lansky
syndicate, the French OAS and the plot to kill JFK. What I discovered were
details about a gentleman who had come to visit New Orleans District
Attorney Jim Garrison when he was still in the earliest stages of his
investigation into the assassination.
Bear in mind that at this point Garrison had not yet come across the
name of Clay Shaw. It was at this time that Garrison received a visit from a
businessman named John King. The visit to Garrison by King has been
mentioned in several JFK books and the authors continue referring to King
as a "Denver oilman" with ties to the Republican Party, etc. The other JFK
writers suggest that King was interested in interfering with the Garrison
investigation, obviously, because he was a bad man and was possibly trying
to help cover up for someone, presumably the Republican Party and
Richard Nixon and other such villains.
Well, King was obviously aware that Garrison was on the right track
and he offered Garrison a deal: if Garrison dropped the investigation King
promised to arrange Garrison's appointment to a federal judgeship. I repeat
again that this was before Clay Shaw's name came up. However, it just so
happens, as I pointed out in Final Judgment, that it was during the very
period of King's visit to New Orleans that this "Denver oilman" was also
involved in lucrative international business dealings conducted jointly with
Bernard Cornfeld, head of the corrupt financial venture known as Investors
Overseas Services (I0S).
Cornfeld, in fact, was a close friend and protégé and front man for none
other than Tibor Rosenbaum, the veteran Israeli diplomat and Mossad
official who was a key financial figure behind Permindex on whose board
served none other than Clay Shaw!
Other JFK assassination researchers had focused on King's
"Republican" connections and his ties to the oil industry but they missed the
real smoking gun: King had very close connections to Clay Shaw, the
Permindex board member, whom Garrison hadn't even yet identified as a
suspect in the conspiracy. Somebody somewhere (and we now know who
