one or more of the others. And now, the advent of Stone's film, coupled
with the subsequent release of several new books on the
assassination—most notably Mark Lane's Plausible Denial, which proved
CIA complicity in the president's murder—has brought new interest in the
controversy.
Perhaps some day there will even be a book which places the blame for
the assassination on, as New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison used
to say, "retired circus clowns." However, it was not retired circus clowns
who killed John F. Kennedy, at least so far as we know.
ISRAEL'S CENTRAL ROLE
This book contends that Israel's Mossad was a primary player alongside
the CIA and the Lansky Crime Syndicate in the JFK assassination
conspiracy and that, in fact, the Mossad's role was probably the driving
force behind the conspiracy. It is clearly Israel and its Mossad—as we shall
document—which is the one force which ties all of the most frequently
mentioned alleged conspirators together: the CIA, the anti-Castro Cuban
forces, organized crime and, most specifically—and more significantly than
the so-called Mafia—the Meyer Lansky Crime Syndicate. The connections
are far more sinister and go far deeper than most might imagine. In Final
Judgment we will examine all of this in detail.
ISRAEL'S MOTIVE
Israel, as we shall see, had a very distinct motive not only to orchestrate
Kennedy's removal from office but also to elevate his successor, Lyndon B.
Johnson into the White House. As did, of course, many of those other
elements in the conspiracy that resulted in Kennedy's murder.
Never once, however—at least in standard assassination research—has
the suggestion that Israel had a hand in Kennedy's murder ever been uttered.
Yet, the evidence is there—evidence that has lain dormant or has otherwise
been ignored or gone unrecognized for its significance.
Indeed, virtually all of the facts brought together in Final Judgment
have been drawn from recognized volumes in the field of JFK assassination
research and in other standard sources.
One former member of Congress, Rep. Paul Findley (R-Ill.) himself
has publicly suggested that Israel indeed may have had a hand in the JFK
assassination. In the March 1992 issue of The Washington Report on
Middle East Affairs, Findley points out:
"It is interesting—but not surprising—to note that in all the words
written and uttered about the Kennedy assassination, Israel's intelligence
agency, the Mossad, has never been mentioned. And yet a Mossad motive is
obvious." 3
Findley lays out the motive—a motive that we outline in detail in the
pages of this book: "Israeli leaders never trusted the Kennedys. They were
