Michael Piper and Final Judgment

[Mark Stapleton]

[Israel] is the biggest benefactor and current partner of that same shadow government that came to be after Kennedy's assassination.

Wrong on all counts.

To make a convincing "biggest beneficiary" argument, one must catalog all beneficiaries of the JFK assassination, describe the benefits that accrued to each, and then quantify the benefits via application of metrics that can measure comparatively the values of everything from the satisfaction of personal vendetta to the service of spiritual agenda.

Israel was the biggest beneficiary of any of the known suspects in the JFK assassination thus far.

They got such a spike in military aid that they went from being one of the powers to the regional superpower in four years. They got unprecedented access to levers of power in the US. Arthur and Mathilde Krim were regular dining guests at the LBJ ranch, according to his bio. Krim, an ardent Zionist and LBJ fundraiser, got a Medal of Freedom for his trouble. LBJ covered up the Liberty incident for Israel.

Last but not least, they got Dimona. The world's most powerful man had been dead against that.

I'm keen to see which beneficiaries in such a catalog can beat that.
