What created the buzz about possible Mossad involvement was the<br />

report by both The New York Post and USA Today that Heymann was a<br />

U.S.-Israeli dual citizen who said that he had told young Kennedy, some<br />

years ago, that during the 1980s he (Heymann) had actually worked for the<br />

Mossad. It was for this reason that Kennedy had approached Heymann<br />

about doing a story for George on the Mossad—according to Heymann.<br />

But while conspiracy theorists on the Internet and elsewhere focused on<br />

the idea that JFK Jr. was about to "blow the whistle" on the Mossad, they<br />

missed what was actually more significant: That the widely-publicized<br />

claims of this Mossad figure were the primary media foundation for the<br />

insistence Kennedy's death was an accident—either his fault or, effectively,<br />

that of his wife Carolyn's—and one that was waiting to happen.<br />

The New York Post headlined the Heymann story "John Jr. Feared<br />

Flying Into Vineyard" and included Heymann's own detailed transcription<br />

of their conversation. USA Today reported that Heymann claimed he took<br />

extensive notes on his conversations with Kennedy for use in possible<br />

future books. According to Heymann, JFK Jr. didn't feel secure about the<br />

Martha's Vineyard airport; he didn't want to fly there; and he felt he had to<br />

do it because his wife insisted he drop off her sister there before going on to<br />

Hyannis airport.<br />

The bottom line of the former Mossad man's story is that JFK Jr.<br />

purportedly didn't feel comfortable about making two landings (at Martha's<br />

Vineyard and then Hyannis), because—or so Heymann says Kennedy<br />

said— "I'm really not that experienced a pilot."<br />

So it just happened to be a self-described Mossad asset who was so<br />

coincidentally well positioned to put forth a widely-publicized story which<br />

played right into the media line that JFK Jr. shouldn't have been in the<br />

pilot's seat to start with and that he was flirting with disaster: that the<br />

tragedy was definitely an accident—almost an inevitability.<br />

In fact, by The New York Post so carefully (and craftily) emphasizing<br />

"the Mossad connection," the newspaper (which is a consistent voice for the<br />

interests of Israel) was effectively telling the world: "This is what the<br />

Mossad wants you to believe about JFK Jr.'s death. It was an accident. It<br />

was JFK Jr.'s fault. It was an accident waiting to happen. Case closed."<br />

Now, here's the punch line: Cindy Adams of The New York Post—who<br />

first published Heymann's story—distanced herself from Heymann saying<br />

she doubted his story. And investigative reporter Andrew Goldman of The<br />

New York Observer published a devastating expose questioning whether<br />

Heymann ever had any contact at all with JFK, Jr.<br />

In fact, it appears that Kennedy hadn't even finalized his flight plans at<br />

the time that Heymann claims he spoke to Kennedy. So the bottom line is<br />

that Heymann's story was disinformation in the first place. Neither, Adams<br />

nor Goldman, however, dared to suggest that Heymann's claims may have<br />

been Mossad-sponsored disinformation.<br />

The question thus remains: when this "former" Mossad agent put forth<br />

this fraudulent story about the last days of JFK, Jr., was he doing it for his
