[532] Final Judgment 628
Frankly, I've always looked at the theory that "the military-industrial
complex killed JFK" as being somewhat of a cop-out theory. When you
blame the military-industrial complex (so-called) you are blaming faceless
industrialists, faceless military men, faceless financiers. It's a cloudy, gray
area with few specifics. However, if you wish to resort to the terminology
of talking about the "military-industrial complex" that still does encompass
quite an expanse of various power groups but they are all inter-related. The
fact is that the Israeli lobby is a key component of the military-industrial
complex, today in particular. This wasn't so much the case in JFK's day,
but the Israeli lobby was beginning to flex its muscles at that time and as a
direct result of JFK's death, the military-industrial complex began building
the weapons that Israel began receiving in large number when LBJ reversed
JFK's Middle East policy
LBJ not only began arming Israel to the teeth but also providing a
massive infusion of foreign aid to Israel that the Jewish state used to
purchase the weapons of war built by the faceless demons in the "militaryindustrial
complex." I'm aware of at least one lobbyist for the Israeli
defense industry who has also lobbied on behalf of some major American
defense contractors during that period—and for the CIA. And he's not the
only one. So the military-industrial complex did not only benefit immensely
from the war in Vietnam. These faceless industrialists also had a great stake
in the arming of Israel, any way you cut it.
Those who want to point the finger of blame at "the military-industrial
complex" for the death of JFK had better start pointing out the fact that
Israel and its American lobby are very much a part of that very popular
bogeyman in the lore of the JFK assassination conspiracy. There are a lot of
people among JFK assassination researchers who might be frightened to
mention the role of Israel in the military-industrial complex, but that
element is there, whether they want to admit it or not.
Is the conspiracy that you outline in Final Judgment a "right wing
conspiracy" or a "left wing conspiracy"?
I don't think that the terms "right wing" and "left wing" have very
much meaning anymore and I don't think that you can use this terminology
in reference to the JFK assassination whatsoever. There are many more
factors at work in the conspiracy. The elements in the CIA who were
conspiring against JFK in one fashion or another—specifically James
Angleton, David Atlee Phillips, chief of the CIA's Western Hemisphere
Division, E. Howard Hunt, Frank Sturgis and such lower-level figures as
Guy Banister and David Ferrie in New Orleans, not to mention many of the
Cuban exiles who were working for the CIA were "right wingers" and
"anti-communists." However, the fact is that the government of Israeli
Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion was a left wing, socialist regime under
the rule of the Labor Party. So you found the right-wingers in the CIA
working with the left-wingers in Israel.
