Michael Piper and Final Judgment

[Don Jeffries]

Albert,

I think David was initially open to at least considering Piper's thesis. Imho, he dug his feet in here in response to your aggressive, confrontational style. Read his earlier posts on this thread. I don't think he was outright dismissive to what Piper was saying.

I think Piper has been give short shrift by the JFK assassination research community, almost certainly because of the fact he makes Israel out to be the driving force behind JFK's murder. I emailed Piper a few times way back when, urging him to join the forums and defend himself. I think he did do that, on a forum I wasn't posting on at that point, and I guess he just was frustrated by the lynch mob against him and is reluctant to go through that again.

I think JFK's tough stance against Israel's burgeoning nuclear program could have been a contributing factor to his death, but I seriously doubt it was the main reason. Even if he'd been just as friendly to Israel as LBJ and all the other presidents after him, I still think he would have been killed, for all the other things he was doing to rattle the establishment.
