Final_Judgment

689 Final Word? [591]
Debra Conway's reaction to Final Judgment (which I'm not sure she's
even read) illustrates the lengths to which even some so-called JFK
assassination "researchers" have gone to try to suppress Final Judgment and
its thesis. I do have the satisfaction, however, of knowing for a fact that
numerous followers of Conway's JFK-Lancer operation did contact her and
give her Hell for taking this stand and I am grateful to those who were kind
enough to let me know that they did. So there are a few JFK researchers out
there who do believe in the First Amendment, Debra Conway
notwithstanding.
In the end, however, there were some heartening aspects of that
otherwise ugly controversy in Orange County—Debra Conway's meanspirited
demagoguing notwithstanding. During the midst of the ADL's
effort to silence me and to destroy Steve Frogue, many good citizens stood
up in our defense. I never met the vast majority of them and nor ever will.
But just recently I learned the identity of one of them. I had heard that a
certain couple, "Joe" and Ethel Hunt, had been forceful critics of the ADL's
antics, appearing at the college board's open meetings to speak out in
defense of the First Amendment and against censorship.
It turns out that "Joe" Hunt is no less than Retired Marine Colonel
Forest J. (Joe) Hunt—a combat veteran of three wars and the former
commander of all the Marine guards at U.S. Embassies around the globe
and of the school that trained them in Virginia!
That's the caliber of people I'm proud to have on my side. The ADL is
more than welcome to have the likes of Debra Conway on their side.
Colonel Hunt owes nothing to anybody. But Americans owe a lot to people
like Joe Hunt and his lovely wife who really do fight for freedom.
In any case, the aforementioned efforts by Debra Conway were just the
tip of the iceberg as far as efforts by self-styled JFK assassination "truth
seekers" to attempt to discredit me.
Later, when I made limited efforts to engage a debate over the thesis of
Final Judgment on various Internet discussion news groups dedicated to the
subject of the JFK assassination, I found myself constantly bedeviled with
accusations of "anti-Semitism," all of which were leveled by self-styled
"researchers" who had—at that point, anyway—not even read my book.
SHIFTING THE FOCUS OF DISCUSSION
Perhaps my most dedicated critic was one Robert Harris who operates
his own JFK assassination web site on the Internet. Although Harris had a
reputation for being "hard-headed," even his critics would agree that, by
and large, Harris was quite sincere in his dedication to finding out the truth
about the president's murder. But when it came to the subject of possible
Mossad involvement, Harris (who is said to be Jewish) lost all objectivity.
Harris repeatedly made the false and malicious accusation that Final
Judgment blamed "the Jews" for the Kennedy assassination when, in fact,
as any reader knows full well, the book actually rejects that thesis
altogether.
