64 The Tie That Binds [3]
aware that when President Kennedy's father, Joseph Kennedy, was
ambassador to Great Britain, he frequently praised Nazi Germany.
"During John Kennedy's campaign for the presidency, a group of New
York Jews had privately offered to meet his campaign expenses if he would
let them set his Middle East policy. He did not agree . . . As president, he
provided only limited support to Israel.
"On the other hand, Lyndon Johnson had demonstrated his strong
support for Israel throughout his political career. The government of Israel,
therefore, had every reason to believe that its interests would be better
advanced with Johnson as president. And indeed they were. After Kennedy's
death, the United States, for the first time, began large-scale shipments of
arms to Israel .. .
"Certainly, the Mossad possessed the resources to carry out an
assassination almost any place on earth."
Findley concludes: "Am I accusing the Mossad of complicity?
Absolutely not. I have no evidence of such. My point is simply this: on
this question, as on almost all others, American reporters and commentators
cannot bring themselves to cast Israel in an unfavorable light—despite the
obvious fact that Mossad complicity is as plausible as any of the other
theories." 4
In these pages we will provide Congressman Findley and the readers
with the evidence. We will let the readers make the final judgment.
`SOME SUBTERRANEAN ASSOCIATION'
One leading assassination investigator, Carl Oglesby, recently
summarized his own decades of personal research. "It was an inside job," he
said, "something on the order of the enterprise which we discovered in the
Iran/Contra scandal.
"At the same time," he added as a caveat, "I cannot bring myself to
believe that an institution such as the CIA [for example] could in any
formal and regular sense decide to kill the president.
"So what I am talking about is an off-the-shelf, off-the-books kind of
action that must have been put together by some subterranean association
cutting through not only the CIA, but to a certain extent the FBI the Dallas
police and the military-intelligence agencies themselves." 5
Final Judgment suggests that it was Israel's Mossad that
was indeed the very "subterranean association" that did cut
through the various entities which found themselves brought
into the JFK assassination conspiracy.
In a recent interview another respected JFK assassination researcher,
Peter Dale Scott, perhaps lends further credence to the theory we are about
to present. Scott believes that there were a variety of forces at work behind
the JFK assassination. He specifically fingers "Lyndon Johnson's backers—
particularly those who had a stake in the military-industrial complex" and "an
intelligence-Mafia connection that included members of the intelligence
community who were involved with military-industrial
