[662] <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> 760<br />

Respected Veteran JFK Researcher Penn Jones Said:<br />

Mossad "a completely overlooked area" in JFK Affair<br />

The late Texas newsman Penn Jones, the scrappy, no-nonsense publisher of<br />

The Midlothian Mirror and one of the most outspoken early pioneer critics of the<br />

Warren Commission Report, has long been revered as a tower of integrity by many<br />

independent JFK assassination researchers. Even the ubiquitous John Judge—<br />

who has been a hateful critic of <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> and its author—has called Jones<br />

"an honest journalist" who "did much original research on the case."<br />

The truth is that as far back as 1968—sixteen years before <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> was<br />

first published—Penn Jones was suggesting that JFK researchers start looking into<br />

Mossad connections as far as the JFK conspiracy was concerned.<br />

That's right. Penn Jones—not Michael Collins Piper—said it. This is<br />

something those who admire Jones—but who fear mentioning "the Mossad" in<br />

relation to the JFK assassination—will find difficult to acknowledge, for it may<br />

suggest after all, that <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> may be on target.<br />

In a Midlothian Mirror column (dated January 18, 1968) and published on page<br />

51 in the 1969 edition of volume III of Jones' Forgive My Grief series, Jones wrote:<br />

Jack Ruby was a close intimate of the members of the Dallas<br />

Police force and other United States law enforcement agencies, as<br />

well as the Israeli counter intelligence organization. His onetime<br />

employee, Nancy Zeigman Perrin Rich was also close to<br />

these same forces. Identifying Ruby and Nancy as being<br />

involved with the Israeli intelligence opens up a completely<br />

overlooked area concerning the assassination of President<br />

Kennedy.<br />

Jones's disclosure somehow seems to have been lost in all of the minutiae<br />

surrounding inquiries into the JFK assassination Some years later, in a Midlothian<br />

Mirror column (dated February 24, 1972) and republished on page 54 in the 1974<br />

edition of volume IV of Jones' Forgive My Grief series, Jones wrote further:<br />

[Jack] Ruby was admittedly used by the FBI in smalltime<br />

information gathering, but he appears to have been a<br />

bigger operative for some other agency or country . . .<br />

There are many indications in the Warren Hearings and<br />

other places that Ruby, and "Honest Joe" Goldstein were<br />

intelligence operatives in a small way for someone. And Abe<br />

Weinstein's Colony Club seems to have been used at times as a<br />

"safe house" for operatives.<br />

And considering what we now know of multiple Israeli connections in Dallas<br />

and in Texas (as noted in the new material in the opening pages of <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong>),<br />

it is quite likely that these three Jewish entrepreneurs may indeed have been<br />

working for the Mossad, as certainly Jones suggested that Ruby was.<br />

We owe a great deal to the late Penn Jones for—fearless researcher that he<br />

was—not hesitating to dare to mention "Israel" in a less-than-flattering context, in<br />

this case, involvement in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Nonetheless—yet<br />

again—we find a little-noticed "Israeli connection" in JFK lore that has somehow<br />

been "misplaced."And this harkens back to the fact that even New Orleans District<br />

Attorney Jim Garrison also stumbled on the Mossad connection, but even Garrison's<br />

admirers don't like to acknowledge that.<br />

If it seems that we are "harping" on the Israeli connection, it's because we are.<br />

It's because nobody else will do it, despite all of the evidence that's there.
