[520] Final Judgment 616
about the Mossad." What can I say? I think that Don has the same attitude
that the better-known JFK assassination researchers have and that is that
they are willing to write and talk about the JFK assassination as long as they
don't step on the toes of Israel and its American lobby.
Let's face it: the Israeli lobby has close ties to the American media, and
particularly the book publishing and distribution industry. Anybody who
denies that there is a strong pro-Israel bias in the American media is again,
either a liar or a fool or both. So I understand why the authors of books on
the JFK assassination don't want to cross the media. It's not in their
financial interest to do so.
In the "Final Word?" section of this book, I discuss my adventures on
the Internet discussion groups devoted to the JFK assassination, trading
ideas (and insults) with an unusually eclectic group of people—some openminded,
some close-minded, but all with a variety of opinions. To be sure,
there was a lot of hostility toward my particular approach, but I was
pleasantly surprised (as you shall see) to find more than a few people who
were willing to give me friendly input and who were not prepared to
dismiss my theory outright. At the same time, though, I did find that even
some of the most able critics of my theory were, in fact, unable to refute my
theory (at least as far as I was concerned) and that was actually a relief to
me, for I was frankly concerned that perhaps I had missed some detail
somewhere that would bring the thesis of Final Judgment come crashing
down. But that didn't happen—and I don't think it ever will.
What about the JFK Assassination Research and Information Center in
Dallas? Until the center recently went out of business, they held an annual
confab in which JFK "buffs" and "fanatics" came to Dallas to talk about
their favorite subject—to ponder every possible theory about whether the
fatal shot was fired from a storm drain or from a flying saucer. They will
debate these subjects for hours on end. However, when I asked to come to
Dallas to speak about Final Judgment which had already sold 8,000 copies
all over America, I never even received an acknowledgment from these
people who are ostensibly dedicated to finding out the truth.
Now either I am a total crank or I am right on the mark and they don't
want to discuss it. I leave it up to the readers of Final Judgment to make
their own determination. I don't believe that anybody who has read Final
Judgment with an open, honest approach considers me a crank. Yet the
people at the JFK Center in Dallas adopted the attitude of my friend Don
Kimball who is afraid to get "into all that stuff about the Mossad."
The JFK Center was a money-making venture and it needed publicity.
They wouldn't get good publicity (or any publicity, for that matter) if they
started talking about possible Israeli involvement in the assassination.
I did advertise Final Judgment in the 1993 program of the JFK Center's
annual conference and I did a mailing to roughly 300 people from that
conference and I received several friendly letters from a number of
researchers. I have reached the conclusion, however, that these people are
more interested in debating things that can never be answered: how many
