Michael Piper and Final Judgment

[David Josephs]

As they are the experts on Piper... I have repeatedly asked either Mark or "AL" to post passages from the book that support the conclusions...
I've looked and looked thru this book for ANYTHING that supports the theory.. and all I ever find is Piper telling us how everyone else is wrong yet not
actually showing us where he is RIGHT....



In short, if "the Mafia" had a hand in the
killing of JFK, then Lansky had to have been one of the key players.

A FINAL NOTE: Since the first release of Final Judgmentwhich was the
first JFK assassination book to seriously focus on James Angleton (based upon
leads provided by Mark Lane's Plausible Denial)JFK researcher Lisa Pease
(who received a copy of Final Judgment from the author) has written two
excellent articles examining Angleton's critical role in the JFK affair. They
appear in the book The Assassinations (Los Angeles, Feral House Press, 2003)
edited by Miss Pease and James DiEugenio. Unfortunately, although Miss Pease
referenced Final Judgment, in passing in earlier renditions of her essays (when
they were first published on the Internet), she has since deleted those references,
perhaps out of fear of being associated with yours truly.

In any case, Miss Pease also rushes to assure her readers that she has found no evidence to support the
theory that Angleton was "controlled" by the Mossad, despite her suggestion
that other un-named writers have asserted as much. In fact, as readers of Final
Judgment know well, no such assertion is made in this book. Quite the contrary,
Angleton was a Mossad loyalist. No "control" was necessary.

Would you think he'd bring it all together in the PREFACE?

PREFACE

[size=12]The Unspoken Truth:
Israel's Central Role in the JFK Assassination
Where in the world could anyone come up with the idea that
Israel's Mossad had a hand in the assassination of John F. Kennedy?
All of the information which, taken together, proves this contention has
long been in the public domain. This book,
[/SIZE][size=12]Final Judgment, [/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]brings all of[/SIZE]
[size=12]these facts together for the first time in a fascinating and frightening
scenario thatalthough controversialdoes make sense.
[/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]Considering all of the theories about the assassination of John F.
Kennedy that have been circulating for years, how could anyone ever
suggest that Israel's Mossad was involved ?
This was the reaction of more than a few people when apprised of the thesis
presented in the pages of this book. Yet, I believe, that when you read this
volume you will reach the same conclusion: that Israel and its spy
agency, the Mossad, did indeed play a critical role in the JFK assassination
conspiracy and its cover-up. The evidence is there, as you shall see.
It was in 1989, while re-reading A. J. Weberman and Michael
Canfield's
[/SIZE][size=12]Coup d'Etat in America [/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12](first published in 1975) that I first[/SIZE]
[size=12]stumbled upon a strange reference that ultimately led to my research that is
outlined here in the pages of
[/SIZE][size=12]Final Judgment. [/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]The reference, simple as it[/SIZE]
[size=12]was, appearing on page 41, read as follows:
[/SIZE][size=12]"After the assassination, an informer for the Secret Service and the
FBI who had infiltrated a Cuban exile group and was in the process of
selling them machine guns, reported that on November 21, 1963 he was
told, 'We now have plenty of money
[/SIZE][size=12]our new backers are the Jewsas[/SIZE]
[size=12]soon as they take care of JFK.'
[/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]This man had furnished reliable[/SIZE]
[size=12]information in the past."
[/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12](emphasis added)[/SIZE]
[size=12][/SIZE][size=12]I barely noticed the reference, but it did intrigue me. Who did this
source mean by
[/SIZE][size=12]"the Jews" [/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]and why (of all people) would [/SIZE][size=12]"they" [/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]want to[/SIZE]
[size=12][/SIZE][size=12]"take care of JFK"?
[/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]I concluded the source meant Jewish gangsters such as[/SIZE]
[size=12]Meyer Lansky who wanted to regain their Cuban gambling interests they
lost when Castro came to power. This, I thought, had to be the answer.
Frankly, I laid the speculation aside. It was just one lone detail among
millions of words written about the JFK assassination. Nearly a year went
by before I came across the reference againwhile re-reading the same
book. I pondered the quote for a moment, thinking, "This
[/SIZE][size=12]is [/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]interesting."[/SIZE]
[size=12]However, I once again cast it aside. I had long ago already concluded
that the CIA, in collusion with elements of "the Mafia" and the anti-Castro
Cuban exiles, was responsible for the president's assassination.
However, an entire year latersometime in 1991I came across a
variation of the same quotation cited in the book by Weberman and
Canfield. This time it appeared in David Scheim's book,
[/SIZE][size=12]Contract on[/SIZE]
[size=12]America,
[/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]which contends "The Mafia Killed JFK" and which also[/SIZE]
[size=12][ii]
[/SIZE][size=12]Final Judgment[/SIZE]
[size=12][/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]vehemently dismisses any CIA involvement whatsoever. I had read
Scheim's book when it first came out in 1988, but I had not noticed the
reference (or the similarity to the other one) at that time.
What intrigued me, however, was that Scheim's rendition of the quote
deleted the reference to the alleged Jewish backers of the Cuban plotters.
My immediate thought was: "What's Scheim trying to hide?" At that
moment I finally began to see that this unusual (seemingly minor) detail
might, in fact, point toward something much bigger than I had realized.
[/SIZE][size=12]THE LANSKY CONNECTION
[/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]It was at this time that a new biography of organized crime figure
Meyer Lansky was released. Entitled
[/SIZE][size=12]Little Man: Meyer Lansky and the[/SIZE]
[size=12]Gangster Life,
[/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]the bookprepared in cooperation with Lansky's[/SIZE]
[size=12]familywas little more than a puff piece for Lansky. I realized immediately
that the book still somehow seemed to be missing quite a lot.
It was then that I returned to my library and pulled a book off the shelf
that I hadn't re-read in perhaps fifteen years. It was Hank Messick's
biography of Lansky. Re-reading this important book I began to see that
Meyer Lansky was not just a Mafia advisor as David Scheim, for example,
would have his readers believe. Instead, Lansky was "the chairman of the
board" of organized crime. All of the Mafia figures that had been repeatedly
implicated in the JFK assassination were, in fact, Lansky's front menhis
subordinates, his underlings. In short, if "the Mafia" had a hand in the
killing of JFK, then Lansky had to have been one of the key players.
Yet, as I quickly began to see in reviewing many of the works which
allege that "The Mafia Killed JFK," Lansky's preeminent role was being
ignored or otherwise under-played. I was aware of Lansky's close ties to
Israel. After all, Lansky fled to Israel when the heat was on in the United
States. But how deeply did the Lansky-Israeli connection go? My research
into that question began to turn up some interesting facts.
[/SIZE][size=12]THE ISRAELI CONNECTION
[/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]At this juncture, however, I had no reason whatsoever to think that
Israel would have had any reason to participate in the JFK assassination
conspiracy. However, it was just about the time that I had begun to take a
second look at the Lansky connectionin 1991that several new works
were released which provided never-before revealed information about the
covert relationship between the United States and Israel.
These books, cited extensively in
[/SIZE][size=12]Final Judgment, [/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]made it all too clear[/SIZE]
[size=12]that John F. Kennedy had become embroiled in a bitter behind-the-scenes
battle with Israel. In fact, Kennedy was at war.
JFK's secret war with Israel was something that even long-time JFK
assassination researchers had no reason to know about. Much of the
material had long been classified. It was a secreta deep, dark secret.
[/SIZE][size=12]Preface
[/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12][iii][/SIZE]
[size=12]Some of JFK's communications with then-Israeli Prime Minister David
Ben-Gurion were classified for years, until just recently. Not even top-level
intelligence officials with special security clearance were initially allowed
access to those explosive documents.
In fact, prior to these more recent revelations, very little about JFK's
relations with Israel and the Arab world had ever actually been published
anywhere. As historian David Schoenbaum pointed out quite notably in his
book,
[/SIZE][size=12]The United States and the State of Israel:[/SIZE]
[size=12][/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]"Submerged among the high-visibility themes of East-West relations,
the nuclear arms race and the early dawn of a test ban and nonproliferation,
the Berlin and Cuban missile crisis, the perplexities of the newly
decolonized Belgian Congo, buoyant hopes for an Alliance for Progress in
Latin America, and the deepening quagmire in Vietnam,
[/SIZE][size=12]the Middle East is[/SIZE]
[size=12]scarcely even visible in the standard biographies that followed Kennedy's
assassination. Even by liberal estimates, Ben-Gurion and Nasser, Israel
and Egypt appear on only seven each of Theodore Sorensen's 758, and
Arthur M. Schlesinger's 1,031 pages of text."
[/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12](Emphasis added.)[/SIZE]
[size=12]In short, while JFK assassination researchers were busy probing a wide
variety of areas, they were missing the big picturethe secret picture on the
other side of the jigsaw puzzle.
So it was that the new revelations about Kennedy's relationship with
Israel (and its potential link to the assassination conspiracy) made me
realize that there was an unexplored area of researchnever before
consideredthat needed examination.
[/SIZE][size=12]ISRAEL, LANSKY
[/SIZE][size=12]& [/SIZE][size=12]THE [/SIZE][size=12]CIA[/SIZE]
[size=12][/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]By this time, then, the long and close relationship between Israel and
JFK's foes at the CIA was something that was now being acknowledged.
And JFK's own war with the CIA was already common knowledge. At the
time of the JFK assassination, however, the depth and breadth of the CIA's
relationship with Israel's Mossad, however, was not so commonly known.
The pieces of the puzzle were all there. They simply needed to be put
together. With a basic thesis now evolving in my mind, I began re-reading
much of the published information about the JFK assassination, his policy
toward Israel and the history of organized crime.
And in so doing, I repeatedly found myself stumbling upon new
information that continued to verify what was initially in my mind just a
theory, but which I now believe to be the truth. By December of 1992 I
realized that I had enough material for a book and I began to write it.
But even as I was already in the process of writing the book, I was
startled by the vast amount of material that I was continually uncovering
and virtually all of it was in the pages of mainstream sources freely available
to anyone who cared to do the research. I thus began to realize that I had
indeed begun to assemble a remarkable wealth of material that brought my
initial thesis full circle.
[iv]
[/SIZE][size=12]Final Judgment[/SIZE]
[size=12]THE PERMINDEX CONNECTION
[/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]It is the Permindex connection which is the tie that bindsthe final
proof that the Mossad was at the center of the assassination conspiracy. In
Permindex we find all of the critical elements tying the Mossad, the CIA
and the Lansky Crime Syndicate together in close-knit intrigue
[/SIZE][size=12]linked[/SIZE]
[size=12]directly to the murder of President Kennedy.
[/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]Although researchers have devoted much time and energy to pursuing a
wide variety of questions relating to the JFK assassination (focusing on many
matters that will never be resolved) most have steered clear of Permindex.
Those who have referenced it portray Permindex as some sort of remnant
of the Third Reich but nothing could be further from the truth.
[/SIZE][size=12]In fact, understanding the forces behind Permindex is the key to
resolving the biggest mystery of this century: the question of not only who
killed John F. Kennedybut why.
[/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]INSIDERS AGREE . . .
[/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]Just before I began the book I mentioned my theory to a rather well-known
former United States congressman. He surprised me when he said, "I think you
are on to something. I've believed for years that the Mossad was involved in
the Kennedy assassination, but I never really took the time to look into it.
I'm glad you're doing it, though. It will be an important book. It's a book I
would have liked to have written myself."
Then, just after I finished the first draft, I sent a copy of the manuscript to
another former member of Congress, Paul Findley, thinking that he might have
some interest in the subject. His response was perhaps a bit astonishing.
The ex-Congressman wrote me a surprising letter in which he said, "I will
mention that over the past four years I have had lengthy correspondence with
a retired diplomat from a western European nation whose family (including
himself) has had disastrous experiences with Israel and the Mossad. He has
been prodding me all that time to do what you have done."that is, write a
book exploring Israel's secret role in the JFK assassination conspiracy.
Congressman Findley then passed the manuscript on to the Frenchman
(whose remarkable story you will learn about in these pages) who in turn
provided me additional fascinating leads and inside information that helped
make the thesis presented in
[/SIZE][size=12]Final Judgment [/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]complete.[/SIZE]
[size=12][/SIZE][size=12]ONE COMPLETE PICTURE
[/SIZE][size=12][/SIZE][size=12]Israel's Mossad was indeed a primary force behind the JFK
assassination conspiracy. The Israeli connection pulls all of the pieces of the
puzzle together into one complete picture. The role of the Mossad in the
JFK assassination is indeed the "missing link" in the conspiracy. For the
sake of history, it is a story that needs to be told.
