Piper makes the same mistake as mafia-did-it and Johnson mastermind authors by trying to say Israel sponsored the assassination. Any look at the assassination would see it was a domestic job with CIA and military members being the strong facilitators. Piper's like Nelson. In his zeal to pin it on Israel he goes out and uncovers a Mossad/mob/CIA underground that stretched to the Mediterranean and more importantly Swiss banks. CIA was clever enough to exploit the sympathies and interests of this cabal for its post-assassination political landscape knowing that, like Viet Nam, zionism was something it could piggyback its agenda on to distract Americans from the coup it had just committed in order to acheive it. I don't see what the fuss is all about. Drago's model still holds. Angleton was CIA liaison to Israel. He was also smuggling nuke parts behind Kennedy's back and undermining his negotiations with Israel (Ask Vanunu). When the plotters pushed the button on JFK this covert relationship became policy under Johnson. Viet Nam was the CIA's baby but so was Israel. Contrary to Truman's complaint, CIA was now making foreign policy and doing so by assassination and subversion of democracy.
The most important part of Final Judgment is the exposure of the underground Swiss bank network where mob and drug proceeds were laundered for covert use. CIA exploited the heroin trade from SE Asia through the French Connection and later cocaine from the Americas.
