Michael Piper and Final Judgment

[Ed Jewett]

I don't believe Israel was a primary mover behind the JFK assassination. However, there is no question that the research community has long been reluctant to even dicuss this subject. Piper's book was instantly dismissed simply because he focused on Israel.

AIPAC is in a class by itself; no other lobby is comparable in terms of power and influence. Israel is so fully dependant upon U.S. taxpayer support that it is doubtul it could exist without our massive aid. Our foreign policy became increasingly tied to the whims of Israel, starting with the Reagan administration.

Zionist influence is so great in the U.S. now that there is a much more open and hearty debate about Israel within Israel itself than there is in the American Congress or mainstream media. Any criticism of Israel or zionism is instantly labeled "anti-semitism." When you can marginalize the issue by attacking the messenger, then there is no way to truly address the subject.

Well said, and there's lot more to the overall issue and problem than that. Intimidation, marginalization, co-optation, infiltration, indirect Luttwakian "coups", etc. But then historically the entire issues or sub-divisions or "grey areas" of the debate, the ethnicities, the politics, the pitting of one group versus another, have all been instruments or tactics wherein many a culprit or a "protector" or an attacker can lurk, hide, or take refuge, pretending to be something they are not, appearing chameleon-like to be part of the environment or something else entirely.

A excerpt from part of Harry Truman's letter (rapidly "disappeared") to the Washington Post shortly after the assassination of John Kennedy about his role in the creation of the CIA (really, the entire national security apparatus) ought to remind folks to do some deep research into the parallel tracks in the birth of the US security apparatus and the creation of the state of Israel which, in turn, will, perhaps, lead the curious to the influences involved in getting a haberdasher from Missouri into the upper circles of US governmental power. "Dancing with the one who brung you" is a concept that's been around for a century, at least.
