The LBJ-Did-It Operation Continues to Unfold

[Seamus Coogan]

There is no "special relationship" between Israel and the truth.

Israel is no more -- or less -- a true Sponsor of the assassination than is America.

But if I charge certain members of the American Joint Chiefs of Staff with being complicit as Facilitators of the assassination -- which I do -- and someone subsequently charges me with being anti-American, I laugh in his or her face.

Fuck charges of anti-Semitism. If sound evidence leads us to conclude that Israeli interests were involved at the Facilitator level of the JFK hit, then so be it.

Is Piper an anti-Semite? IRRELEVANT to the value of his hypothesis.

Weigh the hypothesis on its own merits. If it's meshuggah, so be it. If it's valid, so be it.

Let us rid ourselves once and for all of what might charitably be called the "first among equals" status of Israel.

For the record: I am confident in my conclusion that "Israel" was not a Sponsor of the JFK assassination.

I reach said conclusion in spite of, and not because of, the myth of the "special" nature of the state of Israel.

Were Israeli interests served by JFK's death? Were Israeli specialists involved as Facilitators of the assassination?

Entirely different matters.

Yes it's all a very, very bizarre confluence. I'm wary on both counts! Liberty Lobby did a great job with Lane in one case. But then on the other with Piper they've really lost it. I'm against reckless charges of anti-semitism, for valid criticism.

But then on the other a lot of people have used the Zionist dialogue to encapsulate Judaism and so on in what is truly bigotted stuff. It's these twerps like Piper who have fueled that paranoia with appalling facts and crummy logic which helps brand any critique as being 'anti-semitic'. With research that bad what else can you call it but agenda driven? So we have a debt of thanks to Mr Piper.

For the record. I'm disgusted with the behaviour and justification of guys like Netanyahu. What a dick that guy is. But he doesn't represent all Israeli people. Just like John Key (our prime minister of Jewish descent by the way-as if that means squat) doesn't represent the views of all Kiwi's. Zionist's are not pleasent. But there's people full of the same zeal in any culture or group!

And I go along with James, Vasilios and Jim Di. Not to mention Dawn and others. Also I was questioning Pipers sanity more than his 'anti-semitism' I don't think he is one but he's dabbling in some murky territory.
