of anti-Semitism holds in America that it can inspire so much outrage
against a book that is really written like any other."
Wilkins noted that "I witnessed it take place on this news group. The
moment the subject of his book came up, charges of anti-Semitism followed
along with the argument/claim/whatever that he is some kind of Holocaust
revisionist. Piper describes this very attempt to discredit him in his book
with uncomfortable accuracy."
Clark Wilkins never came around to endorsing my thesis of Mossad
involvement in the JFK assassination conspiracy, but, at the very least, he
acknowledged that the ever-controversial Permindex entity was indeed
linked to the operations of the Mossad and Israel's international intrigue—
and that's much further than many people will go. In that context, addressing
one of my critics, James Olmstead, who has said that Final Judgment was
based solely on what Olmstead described as my "hate for the state of Israel,"
Wilkins commented "You'll find Piper has it right. I know you think he's
Darth Vader but he does do his homework."
Thanks to Clark Wilkins for an honest, sincere effort to find out the
truth, wherever it may lead.
SOME FRIENDLY REVIEWS . . .
All of the foregoing is not to suggest that the reviews of Final
Judgment have been uniformly suspicious or hostile. Quite the contrary.
We've already noted the very positive review from Israeli journalist Barry
Chamish. In fact, in addition, there have been several friendly reviews that
have appeared in a number of places, and they're worth noting.
One of those reviews appeared in Psychotropedia: A Guide to
Publications on the Periphery, a compendium of "alternative" and
"underground" books and literature that are often difficult to find in the socalled
"mainstream." Edited by Russ Kick, Psychotropedia was published
in book form by Headpress/Critical Vision of Manchester, England in 1998
and included this eminently fair review which reads as follows:
Final Judgment is a JFK conspiracy book that you
will probably never see mentioned, even by other
assassination researchers. Michael Piper's thesis is
that Israel—specifically its intelligence agency, the
Mossad—orchestrated Kennedy's assassination.
Piper is a longtime employee of the Liberty
Lobby, a very conservative, populist organization
which publishes the weekly newspaper, The Spotlight.
Its critics say that Liberty Lobby is anti-Semitic, but it
says that it is simply highly critical of Israel. I mention
this as background information, not to take sides on
the issue. You can decide for yourself.
