713 Final Word? [615]
Essentially, in Russo's view, Jack Kennedy lived by the sword and
therefore died by the sword, thus the title of Russo's tangled fantasy. "If
presidents choose to live dangerously, as John F. Kennedy did," Russo
concludes, "it may cost them their lives."
So, in the end, JFK got precisely what he deserved—or so Russo would
like us to believe. And that is the ongoing propaganda line about JFK (and
Bobby, too) to which we are now being treated in the rest of the
"mainstream media" which so relishes the misdeeds of the Kennedy family.
What is telling, though, about Russo's book, is that Russo seems to
have been able to dredge up long-secret "witnesses" (particularly CIA
officers and agents whose names remain anonymous) that somehow seem to
have never been reached by any author before. And that, in itself, is
reminiscent of that other esteemed Warren Commission defender, Gerald
Posner. So we do have to wonder if Russo's book isn't really some carefully
crafted CIA disinformation of the grandest sort.
I do hasten to make one point about Russo's book, considering his
claims that Bobby (and Jack) Kennedy were actually the instigators of the
anti-Castro machinations of David Ferrie and the other CIA assets
circulating around Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans:
The one thing that Russo never addressed is the possibility that Bobby
Kennedy himself may have orchestrated a provocation against Castro in the
form of a "dummy" assassination attempt (ostensibly by "pro-Castro
agitator" Lee Harvey Oswald) against his own brother (utilizing CIA assets
that Russo says were working for Bobby) and that this "dummy" attempt
may have been usurped by others—and I am referring to Mossad allies in
the CIA such as James Angleton and Frank Sturgis—and in the end that
"dummy" assassination may have been turned into the real thing.
Considering everything that we have uncovered in the pages of Final
Judgment that frightening scenario is not so very far out of the realm of
possibility. So, in that sense, Bobby Kennedy may have had a real surprise
on November 22, 1963.
THE OFFICIAL LINE
In any event, the war to defend the Warren Commission Report has not
yet come to an end. The opening gun in defense of this fraud was fired on
November 22, 1964 when (as we noted in Appendix Four) The Washington
Post published a glowing review of The Warren Commission Report
accompanied by negative reviews of several books critical of the report. The
author was Eugene Rostow, then dean of the Yale Law School—and a
prominent figure in the Israeli lobby—who wrote:
The Report is a masterly and convincing state
paper. It has the high polish of legal writing at its best,
carefully composed, terse, restrained and meticulous.
In a detached and judicious tone, it deals with every
feature of the case, discussing and evaluating the basis
