Michael Piper and Final Judgment

[Mark Stapleton]

Mark, you're my friend and comrade.

But "Zionist Israel" was no more "the" Sponsor of the JFK hit than any other usual suspect.

Please share your definition of "Sponsor" in this context.

Sure Charles. My definition of sponsor is chief organiser and funder.

The main reason I believe Israel and its hardline supporters in the US were the driving force behind JFK's death is that, as far as I can see, Israel was the only one of all the suspects who extracted a tangible gain from JFK's removal. I hasten to add that the MIC also made a profit also but I don't regard Israel and the weapons industry to be mutually exclusive. Many hardline Zionists have large investments in the industry.

What were the tangible gains? First and foremost was its nuclear capability. I believe Kennedy's intransigent opposition to a nuclear Israel was regarded by hardline Zionists as an existiential threat to their nation's survival. The timeline on this is very clear. Once LBJ took over the pressure valve was switched off and Israel suddenly became much more willing to allow 'limited' inspections of Dimona by American inspectors (all on Israel's terms of course). It was all sham and window dressing, as some of the inspection parties complained.

The other tangible gain was military funding, which grew from zero to $300 million from 1963 to 1967. LBJ helped Israel become the regional superpower. No way Kennedy would have gone along with this. He wanted any funding of Israel to be tied to concessions to the Palestinians.

Another compelling reason is that the mainstream media-naturally there was little alternative media back then-was owned by those sympathetic to Zionism. Paley, Sarnoff and the rest. That's why the media has actively discouraged genuine investigations into JFK's death for the last 49 years. This crime would never have remained unsolved for so long unless those complicit in it had control of the media. Once LBJ was sworn in, they had control of the Government as well, and all the sham Government inquiries which followed.

Anyone who thinks Israel didn't have the power and influence to carry it out doesn't know Israel. They still carry out covert assassinations on a regular basis. Four Iranian nuclear scientists have been murdered in the last two years so their reach can even extend to overtly hostile countries.

If you can tell me other parties who made such tangible gains (and also owned the media), I'm all ears.

And to those who think Israel should be placed above suspicion I would just remind them that at various times the Governments of Cuba, Russia and even the US have been nominated as sponsors. Why should Israel be off limits, given their bellicose past and present?
