(Inside front cover of softcover edition)

Final Judgment is, beyond question, the most controversial —and certainly the most widely denounced—book on what is perhaps the most written-about subject in American history . . .

Yet, most of those who have so hysterically condemned this book have never even read it . . .

Critics viciously attack the author, but they refuse to debate him . . .

This is the one book on the JFK assassination that no major publisher dared print . . .

Despite all this, those open-minded individuals who have dared to read Final Judgment—including some very well-known names—have concluded that this book is the one book that most completely outlines the entirety of the conspiracy that took the life of John F. Kennedy.

Final Judgment presents what the author, Michael Collins Piper, calls the other side of the jigsaw puzzle —the long-ignored, but otherwise freely available details (all found in mainstream literature), which present a stark new light on the circumstances surrounding JFK’s assassination.

This book demonstrates the strong likelihood Israel’s intelligence service, the Mossad, collaborated alongside the CIA and the Meyer Lansky Crime Syndicate in the JFK assassination because President Kennedy was working to prevent Israel from acquiring nuclear weapons of mass destruction, a fact that remained a dark secret for decades.

However, because it was not until the mid-1980’s that the truth about President Kennedy’s behind-the-scenes war with Israel emerged, many otherwise diligent JFK assassination researchers never considered the possibility Israel did have good reason to align with other powerful forces that wanted to remove JFK from the White House. Once you’ve read Final Judgment you will see the evidence of likely Israeli involvement is there.

Although first published in 1994, only one newspaper, a small Washington-based weekly, even mentioned the book. Despite that, Final Judgment has now sold more than 40,000 copies, achieving the proverbial status of underground bestseller. Yet most Americans never heard of this groundbreaking historical bombshell or of its controversial thesis.

The Big Book on the JFK Assassination

It just keeps getting bigger and better.

The remarkable story of Final Judgment . . .

The data, which follows, demonstrates the remarkable growth of this unusual volume as it has evolved since it was first published.

• The first edition of Final Judgment, published in January of 1994, was 335 pages in length, featuring an all-black cover, and was documented with 677 footnotes. This edition was not indexed. (Copies printed: 3,000)

• The second edition of Final Judgment, published in March of 1994, was precisely the same text, but featured a black cover highlighted by a red stripe referring to the book as the new underground best-seller. (Copies printed: 5,000)

• The third edition of Final Judgment, released in 1995, was revised and updated and now included an index, an additional appendix, a who's who of the JFK conspiracy and other data, and was expanded to 385 pages, with 746 footnotes. The gold-tinted cover illustrated an ancient Jewish parchment. (Copies printed: 6,000)

• The fourth edition of Final Judgment, released in July of 1998, was expanded to a total of 672 pages, including 26 pages of photographs and other new material such as a new introduction by the author and eight additional appendices. This edition was documented with 1069 footnotes and featured an extended new question and answer section.

About the Cover . . .

This may be the most unusual cover of any book—and there have been many—published about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. But then, again, Final Judgment—like its cover—is extraordinary.

The figures shown (left to right) are Meyer Lansky, the head of the global organized crime syndicate, David Ben-Gurion, the Israeli Prime Minister who resigned his post in 1963, disgusted with President John Kennedy's refusal to support Israel's drive to build a nuclear arsenal, and James J. Angleton who—in 1963—was the CIA's director of counterintelligence and head of the CIA's liaison desk for Israel's intelligence agency, the Mossad. Over Angleton's shoulder is the logo of the Central Intelligence Agency. In the background, of course, is a nuclear explosion. Israel achieved its nuclear weapons capabilities precisely because of the assassination of President Kennedy. And so did Red China. All of the frightening details appear in the pages of Final Judgment.

At the bottom are shown Attorney General Robert Kennedy and President Kennedy and their father, Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy, founder of the Kennedy family's would-be dynasty. John Kennedy's assassination ended any possibility of another Kennedy reaching the White House. To the left is the logo of Israel's Mossad.

The Israeli Nuclear Arms Link to the JFK Assassination Now the Subject of Worldwide Discussion . . .

For ten years Israeli propagandists called Final Judgment author Michael Collins Piper a liar and an anti-Semite for charging that Israeli intelligence played a role in the JFK assassination conspiracy because of JFK's bitter secret conflict with Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion over Israel's efforts to build nuclear weapons of mass destruction. Certain self-styled JFK assassination researchers scoffed at Piper and refused to address the thesis of his book.

However, on July 25, 2004, many of Piper's critics were red-faced and silent when Israel's respected Jerusalem Post carried a story headlined: Vanunu: Israel behind JFK Assassination. The newspaper reported that famed Jewish-born nuclear physicist, Dr. Mordechai Vanunu, recently released after spending 18 years in prison for exposing Israel's covert atomic weapons program—had charged that supporters of Israel's drive for nuclear weapons were involved in the JFK assassination precisely because of JFK's interference with their ambitions.

The Israeli government dismissed Vanunu's allegations, but what he said received attention in newspapers worldwide, with the notable exception of the United States where one and only one newspaper, mentioned Vanunu's charges and that was American Free Press, the Washington-based weekly that published Final Judgment. However, as widely read Internet writer, Rev. Mark Dankof, put it quite correctly: The Vanunu-Piper allegations about Israel will not go away.

New Evidence Ties Israel's Nuclear Weapons Program to The New Orleans Connection in the JFK Conspiracy . . .

As the second printing of the sixth edition of this book went to press, a source with intimate, high-level knowledge about the NUMEC nuclear plant in Pennsylvania that smuggled nuclear materiel to Israel (see Chapter 8) provided documentation to Michael Collins Piper that the family of Edith Rosenwald Stern, a prominent New Orleans Jewish leader, were key financiers behind NUMEC. Mrs. Stern was the closest friend of Clay Shaw, the longtime CIA asset charged by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison in the JFK conspiracy. Final Judgment had already documented Shaw's ties to Israeli intelligence, so the NUMEC-Stern connection is all the more damning and, with other data, explains why Garrison ultimately concluded there was an Israeli connection behind the conspiracy. And note this: Another NUMEC investor was Pittsburgh's CIA-connected right wing billionaire Richard Scaife, whose protégé, Joe Farah, a vocal supporter of Israel, promoted a JFK conspiracy book evidently designed to distract attention from Final Judgment. No more need be said.

The Israeli nuclear weapons link to the JFK assassination is a reality—a fact of history that is not going to go away . . .

JFK and Israel—No Special Friendship

Israel need not apologize for the assassination or destruction of those who seek to destroy it. The first order of business for any country is the protection of its people.

Washington Jewish Week

October 9, 1997

The murder of American President John F. Kennedy brought to an abrupt end the massive pressure being applied by the U.S. administration on the government of Israel to discontinue the nuclear program [In Israel and the Bomb, Avner] Cohen demonstrates at length the pressures applied by Kennedy on Ben-Gurion . . . in which Kennedy makes it quite clear to the Israeli prime minister that he will under no circumstances agree to Israel becoming a nuclear state. The book implied that, had Kennedy remained alive, it is doubtful whether Israel would today have a nuclear option.

Reuven Pedatzer in the Israeli newspaper, Ha'aretz, February 5, 1999, reviewing Israel and the Bomb. (New York: Columbia University Press, 1998)

"`Nothing in the universe is coincidence,' Rabbi Meir Yeshurun of the Kabbalah Center in Boca Raton, Florida, told a reporter for The Palm Beach Post. 'Somebody in the [Kennedy] family did something to open the family to this negative energy, and that has been plaguing the Kennedys for decades.' According to a story that is told in mystical Jewish circles . . . [JFK's father] Joseph Kennedy . . . returned to the United States aboard an ocean liner that was also carrying Israel Jacobson, a poor Lubavitcher rabbi, and six of his yeshiva students, who were fleeing the Nazis.

"A notorious anti-Semite, Kennedy complained to the captain that the bearded, black-clad Jews were upsetting the first class passengers by praying on the Jewish high holy day of Rosh Hashanah . . . In retaliation, or so the story goes, Rabbi Jacobson put a curse on Kennedy, damning him and all his male offspring to tragic fates.

. . . It is a curious fact that the very same people who scoff at the concept of Kismet, or fate, find it difficult to dismiss the concept of curses . . . [The Kennedy family] made the fatal mistake of thinking of themselves as divine.

Edward Klein, former Editor-in-Chief of The New York Times Magazine, writing in the opening pages of The Kennedy Curse (New York, St. Martin's Press, 2003)

MOTIVES . . .

It is interesting—but not surprising—to note that in all the words written and uttered about the Kennedy assassination, Israel's intelligence agency, the Mossad, has never been mentioned. And yet a Mossad motive is obvious. On this question, as on almost all others, American reporters and commentators cannot bring themselves to cast Israel in an unfavorable light—despite the obvious fact that Mossad complicity is as plausible as any of the other theories.

Former Rep. Paul Findley (R-I11.), in The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, March 1992.

ORIGINS . . .

. . . The Israeli origin should be totally covered while attention should be shifted to any other possible factor . . .

Benjamin Givli, head of Israeli military intelligence, outlining an Israeli terror campaign to be blamed upon Moslem extremists. Documented during the inquiry into Israel's Lavon Affair.

PLAYERS

There has been since almost the earliest days of the Israeli state and the earliest days of the CIA a secret bond, basically by which Israeli intelligence did jobs for the CIA and for the rest of American intelligence. You can't understand what's been going on with American covert operations and the Israeli covert operations until you understand this secret arrangement.

Andrew Cockburn on C-SPAN'S Booknotes, September 1, 1991.

RESEARCHERS . . .

While the [JFK assassination] researchers have involved themselves in consuming preoccupation with the microanalytic searching for facts of how the assassination was accomplished, there has been almost no systematic thinking on why President Kennedy was killed.

JFK researcher Vincent Salandria quoted by Daniel Brandt of NameBase NewsLine report, January-March 1994.

MISINFORMATION

There has been a lot of misinformation poured out . . . It is time for people to look in different directions. I don't really care who did it. I just want Lee to be exonerated if he is not the guilty party.

Marina Oswald, in Dick Russell's The Man Who Knew Too Much.

ILLUSIONS . . .

There is a type of optical illusion known in its more pretentious manifestations as 'camouflage art.' These are paintings, generally of wilderness landscapes, that, viewed up close, look like simple picturesque scenes—a mountain lake with a snow-covered slope reflected on its surface, a field of wildflowers, a forest of birch trees. Take a few steps back, however, and the picture changes. The mirrored rock assumes the shape of an eagle in flight, the flowers form themselves into a rearing stallion, the boles of the birch trees become the profile of an Apache warrior. The myriad details resolve themselves into a single, unmistakable image, previously hidden from sight, but only when they are seen from a distance.

From Deranged, Harold Schecter's study of serial killer Albert Fish.

MIRRORS . . .

The overwhelming evidence is that a conspiracy—a big conspiracy containing numerous levels of intrigue—led to the Kennedy assassination. Everywhere you look, there is another hall of mirrors. Over the years . . . it has become virtually impossible to see what the truth is. Where is the wizard, the wicked witch? All of the above, or none of the above . . . What ultimately faces us is a hydra-headed beast, but it is possible to come to grips at least with its claws. Always remembering that the intrinsic nature of this beast is fog and smoke, nevertheless this is not a wholly ambiguous and unknowable world . . .

From Dick Russell's The Man Who Knew Too Much.

MAGICIANS . . .

President Kennedy's assassination was the work of magicians. It was a stage trick, complete with accessories and false mirrors, and when the curtain fell the actors, and even the scenery, disappeared. But the magicians were not illusionists but professionals, artists in their way.

From Herve Lamarr's Farewell America

Here's what Australian-based JFK assassination researchers have to say about FINAL JUDGMENT . . .

MICHAEL COLLINS PIPER MUST BE A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT. Upon the first release of his book, Final Judgment, a storm of controversy erupted in the United States with certain pressure groups trying hard to have the book banned. Since then, Final Judgment has gone through three more printings—and the controversy hasn't abated.

We here in Australia believe that all theories on the JFK assassination should be heard, no matter whether you agree with them or not. Heck, we even bought and read Gerald Posner's Case Closed, and there isn't a more outlandish theory than his! Trying to get another book banned because you don't agree with it, or it isn't Politically Correct (the greatest censorship drive of the 80s and 90s), is just the kind of thing we fight against. It's just the same as groups such as the FBI and CIA redacting lines of text here and there. People in glass theories shouldn't throw books, so to speak.

So, we here at Probable Cause are proud to review Final Judgment and hope that we never go down the path of the American Model —freedom of speech and the First Amendment and all that—yeah, okay, until you start speaking out and stepping on other people's toes. They line you up for a takedown. Boy, does Michael Collins Piper know about that!

Okay, so after that little editorial, what is Final Judgment about? Piper's thesis is that Israel's intelligence agency, the Mossad, played a key role in the assassination alongside the CIA and organized crime. Throughout his presidency, JFK was involved in an increasingly bitter behind-the-scenes dispute with Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion over Israel's steadfast determination to build a nuclear arsenal. JFK wanted them to stop. But they had other ideas.

Sound far-fetched? Well, actually, you'll be surprised how many well-known JFK assassination players have links to the Mossad and we were quite impressed with the documented evidence within the book. Still, you'll have to read this one for yourself to decide. Piper is under attack from the ADL in the U.S. for this book and, really, it's not warranted. Did the French community in the U.S. get upset when it was suggested there was a French connection in the assassination? No. But then again, perhaps they don't have the lobbying power of the ADL.

The Internet Review of Final Judgment by the Australia-based JFK assassination group, Probable Cause. The review also gave Final Judgment a three star rating—out of a possible four stars."

Here's what some big names have said about America's #1 Banned Book:

• A respected former high-ranking U.S. State Department official . . .

"As one who has read over 200 books on the JFK assassination, and engaged in research both as an individual and as part of various teams, I can say without fear of contradiction that Piper's book is now the definitive work on the JFK assassination. Final Judgment is the most thorough, most honest, most penetrating, most factual, and most analytically complete and systematic of all that I have read so far.

"The author builds an upwardly spiraling tapestry of well documented facts that connect the threads of the conspiracy as they ascend level by level from the ground up to the very tip of the pyramid. Along the way, he breaks the conspiracy into easily digestible parts. Otherwise its sheer complexity would be nearly impossible to follow and decipher. At each level, the threads of the puzzle are woven together in such a way that the fog from the labyrinth is slowly but inexorably lifted until eventually it is peeled back completely and the outlines of the conspiracy are laid bare. What is revealed is as convincing as it is scary.

"Someday America will have to face some unpleasant truths about its democracy and about how it has been, and continues to be manipulated, if not completely commandeered by those whose primary loyalties lie elsewhere. While the links at some of the levels may be tenuous, the author refuses to `fake or fudge the data’ or to be `fatally selective’ in what is included or left out—as was so clearly the case in Gerald Posner's Case Closed, or indeed as was the case in the Warren Commission's own flawed report. Piper is intrepid in following his analysis to every logical conclusion—wherever they lead and whatever the implications may be.

"In short, Piper keeps his eye on the donut (`Big Picture’) and not on the hole (inessential details). He focuses on the `why and how’ of the conspiracy and unmistakably the threads all lead back to Israel, Israeli super-patriots, the Meyer Lansky led `Jewish branch of the mob,’ and the Mossad and the international `agents of influence’ under its control.

"While serious researchers may quibble with inessential details in the study, such as tenuous links at some levels, or redundancies at others, those of us who have studied this issue since the days after the assassination always knew that the truth would have its own resonance—like the Garrison investigation did. We knew that the truth would have its own context, its own smell, like Peter Dale Scott's Deep Politics and the Death of JFK did. Piper's book has them all and in the grand tradition of Carl Oglesby's The Yankee & Cowboy War, Michael Collins Piper has struck gold. He has hit the `mother lode,’ and in the process has pointed the finger at, if not tightened the proverbial noose around, the necks of the cabal of conspirators responsible for pulling the strings (and triggers) of the JFK assassination.

"JFK assassination research has a new standard bearer. It will never be the same again. Because of this book, future research will begin to focus more on the `big picture,’ and turn away from constantly grinding, ad nauseam, at inconsistencies in the Warren Commission's Report. Compared to Posner's Case Closed, Final Judgment is a masterpiece."

—Herbert L. Calhoun

Calhoun, Ph.D. retired as deputy division chief of the Policy, Plans and Analysis Office of the State Department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs and formerly served as a senior foreign affairs specialist for the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and as the U.S. representative to the 1996 and 1998 United Nations Group of Governmental Experts on Small Arms and Light Weapons. Dr. Calhoun posted this endorsement of Final Judgment on amazon.com on March 10, 2003.)

• A famed Hollywood screenwriter and victim of the witch hunts of the 1950s . . .

"Michael Collins Piper has laid out the only scenario for the JFK assassination that makes ultimate sense. He's a gutsy guy who hasn't been afraid to confront the truth head on. That's what America is all about. Final Judgment is a masterpiece that would make a great film—but it's not likely one that will ever be made."

—Bill Norton

(One of the movie industry's most prolific screenwriters, the colorful Bill Norton was described by The Sunday World of London (on April 9, 2000) as a leading Hollywood movie figure and a dedicated socialist and a man with strong religious beliefs who had helped various left-wing causes. In the late 1940s and early 1950s Norton was a hostile witness during the infamous anti-communist witch hunts of the House Un-American Activities Committee.)

• A respected veteran American author, journalist and foundation official . . .

"I think you've pinned the tail on the donkey. In my estimation, Final Judgment ranks as the most important book of the 20th century."

—William J. Gill

(Gill—who died just as this edition of Final Judgment was going to press—was the author of such books as Trade Wars Against America, The Ordeal of Otto Otepka, Suite 3505: The Story of the Draft Goldwater Movement, and Why Reagan Won. A journalist with United Press International and the Pittsburgh Press, Gill also wrote for Life, Fortune, the Saturday Evening Post, Reader's Digest and National Geographic. He also served as executive director of the prestigious Allegheny Foundation and was a well-known Washington representative for the domestic steel industry.

• A former top-ranking Pentagon official . . .

Here's what Colonel Donn De Grand Pre has written in his own book, Barbarians Inside the Gates, citing Final Judgment, which Grand Pre describes as brilliant ...

"Several high-level military officers believed that the killing of JFK was in fact a coup d'état carried out by elements of the CIA working with the Israeli Mossad. Kennedy was attempting to halt the development of nuclear weapons by the Israelis, while simultaneously planning to disband the CIA and disengage our military troops from the Indo-China area. (Read Final Judgment by Michael Collins Piper for more details.)"

—Col. Donn De Grand Pre

(A veteran of World War II and Korea, Grand Pre served as Deputy Chief of the International Division/Office of the Chief of Research and Development at the Pentagon. In 1967 Grand Pre was named as Director for Ground Weapons Systems in the newly-created office of International Logistics Negotiations, responsible for negotiating sales contracts with heads of foreign nations for military weapons systems. On Sept. 30, 1979, The Washington Post Magazine wrote about Grand Pre, citing his expertise: If you had been a Middle Eastern ruler in the 1970s in search of American weapons systems, you would have called Donn de Grand Pre, Pentagon arms peddler. )

• One of America's most hard-driving young independent investigative reporters . . .

Shortly before his strange death in Phoenix, Arizona on June 16, 2003, journalist Brian Downing Quig wrote Michael Collins Piper and said:

"A very important person gave me your book. So I started to read what I would not have purchased at a dollar book sale. I was hostile to the thesis stated on your cover! But I looked at the photos and then read every word. I am now convinced that you have seen and now help others see the largest feature of the JFK assassination that has been missed by all up to this period. I think that Final Judgment delivers all that you promise."

—Brian Downing Quig

(Quig was best known for his inquiries into the death of reporter Don Bolles and later for his work on the Charles Keating scandal.)

And here's what famed American populist historian Eustace Mullins says about FINAL JUDGMENT . . .

"Only once in a decade does a book appear which immediately becomes a 'must read' for all concerned patriots. Final Judgment is such a book. Final Judgment is a 'must' book because it raises and answers so many questions which we need to know about.

"You need to know everything in this book if you are to understand the subversive forces which are destroying our nation.

"Final Judgment is ammunition for the coming war of liberation for America. Victory is not possible without information, and this book has given us the information we need.

You will wait a long time, if ever, before you see such a gargantuan assembly of vital information as you'll find in this book.

FINAL JUDGMENT—the one book that—if read by enough people—will turn American politics upside down.

The Myth of Dallas: New Revelations

As the second printing of the sixth edition of Final Judgment was being readied for press, a detailed 19-page anonymously written document, cited with 115 footnotes, relying on a wide variety of mainstream sources, arrived in the mailbox of Final Judgment author Michael Collins Piper. The document was in an envelope (with no return address) postmarked Dallas, Texas. Entitled The Kennedy Assassination and Israel: Some Dallas Connections, the document—apparently the work of a professional journalist—focused on the specifics of how the Israelis could have influenced the events in Dallas, filling in details never explored in previous editions of Final Judgment. The data is quite explosive, particularly when contrasted with the mythology regarding Big D repeated ad infinitum in JFK literature. However, understanding the real Dallas—not the city of legend and of Hollywood drama—prepares one for the revelations laid forth in Final Judgment.

The document buries the tired old myth that a clique of anti-Semitic White Anglo-Saxon Protestant oil plutocrats ruled Dallas. Instead, the truth is quite the opposite. Not only did Dallas have an immensely powerful Jewish community, but, more importantly, the city (and Texas) had been a major center of fundraising and arms smuggling on behalf of the Zionist cause, going back to the 1940s. Even Jonathan Pollard, the American spy for Israel, said he was inspired to pro-Israel activism by stories he heard (while living in Texas) of gunrunning for the Israeli underground by Jews in Texas. In fact, the official published history of a major Zionist arms smuggling operation, the Sonneborn Institute, reports its agents smuggled aircraft parts out of Texas to Israel. This was happening when a then recently discharged Army Air Corps aircraft mechanic, Jack Ruby, was re-settling in Dallas in 1947, the year prior to Israel's birth, when Sonneborn's activities were at a zenith. Ruby bragged of having run arms to Israel and, in 1963, is now known to have part of an arms smuggling operation overseen by an Israeli intelligence officer. So the Israeli connection to Texas was a lot more intimate than many today ever realized.

In 1963, JFK's primary interest in Dallas was raising money from the Dallas elite, and that meant the wealthy pro-Israel Jewish Democrats who were major financial angels for the ruling Democratic Party there. And since JFK was, at that time, at loggerheads with Israel over its nuclear arms program, it is critical to recognize how JFK was lured to Dallas and who was in charge of the arrangements that actually facilitated his assassination. And while it is well known that the Dallas leg of JFK's Texas trip was sponsored by the Citizens Council (CC), the elite business group that ruled Dallas, the little-noticed evidence shows that two of the three key figures who dominated the CC were Jewish—not WASPs, as the legend of Dallas would have it. These were the folks who really ran Dallas, not the conservatives affiliated with the John Birch Society, as the old myth suggests. In 1963, one of those Jewish power brokers was an outspokenly pro-Israel liquor wholesaler, Julius Schepps, who held the distribution rights in Dallas for the Bronfman family's Seagram's products. And as we shall see, there is evidence that Jack Ruby was on the payroll of the Bronfman family, whose fingerprints are to be found all over the JFK assassination conspiracy.

The means by which the Dallas elite gained control of JFK's Dallas trip agenda is interesting. Since JFK's Dallas trip was officially designated as non political —in contrast to other Texas stops such as Houston and Austin which were designated as political —the private entities paying for the Dallas trip gained control of the planning (taking it out of the hands of the JFK-¬controlled Democratic National Committee). The CC designated a host committee. The chairman was Dallas Jewish leader and public relations man, Sam Bloom, the CC's longtime executive director, and—in retrospect—one of the least known but most pivotal figures in world history.

There was an immediate confrontation between Bloom, representing the Dallas elite, and Jerry Bruno, JFK's veteran advance man. Bruno wanted the president to speak at the Women's Building, but the rulers of Dallas insisted JFK speak at the Trade Mart. Although Bruno fought long and hard, after much pressure, the Dallas elite prevailed, causing the JFK loyalist to comment that this was one of the few fights like this that I had lost. On things like this my judgment was usually taken. This time it wasn't.

By forcing JFK to speak at the Trade Mart, the Dallas elite positioned the JFK motorcade to take the now-infamous dog-leg turn into what was a classically sniper-friendly kill zone on Elm Street just below the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD), from where it later was claimed the alleged assassin, TSBD employee Lee Harvey Oswald, fired the fatal shots. The spot was also in easy range of the grassy knoll and the nearby Dal-Tex Building, where assassination researchers believe snipers were located. Had JFK's advance man prevailed—as he usually did—JFK (on his way to the preferred location) would have traveled two blocks farther away from the TSBD—out of the kill zone—at a greater speed.

Although the Secret Service objected (for security reasons) to the publication of JFK's motorcade route, Bloom (the point man for the Dallas elite) nonetheless made sure a map of the route was repeatedly published in Dallas papers. Thus, later, when the patsy was in custody, there was a plausible explanation as to how he knew JFK would pass by his workplace.

That an assassin quite probably fired on JFK from the Dal-Tex Building is most relevant in the context of an Israeli connection. Co-owned by David Weisblat, a major financial backer of the Israeli lobby's Anti-Defamation League, Dal-Tex housed, on different floors, a number of firms that utilized the telephone number of Morty Freedman, an attorney, garment manufacturer, and activist in Jewish affairs. Since JFK was working to stop Israel's nuclear arms program—which received smuggled uranium from U.S. sources—it is notable that one Dal-Tex firm linked to Freedman was the Dallas Uranium & Oil Company. It is also intriguing that one of Freedman's Dal-Tex business partners was Abe Zapruder, the Jewish dress manufacturer who filmed the assassination and profited immensely. Today there are some who now believe Zapruder had advance knowledge of the assassination.

Once the accused assassin was in custody, it was—you guessed it—Sam Bloom, who had earlier maneuvered JFK into the kill zone, who pressured Elgin Crull, the city manager, to in turn pressure Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry into making Oswald accessible to the press and to move him publicly from the Dallas police station to the city jail. Thus, the situation was in place for Jack Ruby to move in for the kill. There are several sources, including Dallas FBI agent James Hosty, who stated Bloom and his backers were the forces behind this. When the police searched Ruby's home, they found a slip of paper with Bloom's name, address and telephone number on it.

So it is that the Dallas myth comes to an end. This will be painful for those who thought the city an anti-Jewish stronghold, ripe for Nazi revolution. Instead, Dallas was actually an outpost for the advancement of the interests of Israel and today it very much remains so.

Although Walt Brown suggested in Treachery in Dallas that the city's elite were prime movers behind the events of November 22, 1963, he rushed to write elsewhere that the JFK assassination wasn't done by Mossad . . . as some would have us believe (referring to Final Judgment). However, in light of the Big Picture of Big D —details Brown ignored (or suppressed) in terms of their ultimate (and critical) context—it's time for real JFK assassination truth seekers to take a new look at Final Judgment.

A Note from the Publisher . . .*

When Final Judgment was temporarily out of print, second-hand book dealers were selling copies over the Internet for as much as $185 each. And this is a book that certain people refuse to acknowledge even exists!

Few people know it, but it takes as few as 40,000 copies to be sold for a book to reach the New York Times best-seller list. What far fewer people know—but book dealers can attest to it—is that there have actually even been books listed by the Times as best sellers even though the books have not yet actually been printed! Advance orders from book dealers—presumably—make this unusual phenomenon possible.

Whatever the case, there's much more to the story behind the story of best-sellers than meets the eye. And it's a story that most of the major names in the publishing industry probably would prefer left untold.

Nonetheless, a number of books dealing with the JFK assassination have reached the Times' list. Interestingly enough, though, Mark Lane's ground-breaking international best-seller, Rush to Judgment—which did reach the Times list—was never once reviewed by the Times, which tells us that it is the source of all the news that's fit to print, until long after the book had become an international cause célèbre.

In more recent years, particularly in the wake of the release of Oliver Stone's Hollywood blockbuster, JFK, several more volumes did reach the Times' best-seller list. Final Judgment was not one of those volumes. This despite the fact that nearly 8,000 copies of Final Judgment were sold within two weeks of the book's release in January of 1994—this as a response to a single advertisement in a relatively small national weekly newspaper.

Since then, no more than 300 copies of the book were purchased in bulk by dealers. All other sales were to individual buyers. In one instance, however, an enthusiastic reader purchased 100 additional copies after his favorable reception of the first two copies he ordered. Now, as a result of direct mail promotions, many thousands more copies of Final Judgment are being sold across the country with more than 40,000 copies in circulation.

When the book was temporarily out of print—in the fall of 2003—there was so much demand that second-hand copies were being sold by used book dealers over the Internet for as much—at one point—as $185 a copy. Clearly, there's obviously a little bit of interest in a book that some people don't even want to admit exists!

That Final Judgment has already sold so exceedingly well is quite remarkable, considering the general lack of publicity that the book has received. One much-touted JFK assassination work, The Plot to Kill the President, by former House Assassinations Committee director G. Robert Blakey, received widespread national promotion when it was released by a New York Times book publishing affiliate in 1981. Yet, Blakey's book, according to Blakey himself, sold only some 20,000 copies—far less than Final Judgment which received no mass media promotion whatsoever.

So if you've never read anything about the JFK assassination, Final Judgment will be the only book you ever need read on the subject. If, on the other hand, you have read one or more earlier volumes on the subject, you'll be amazed at the explosive new revelations appearing in Final Judgment.

Don't look for analysis of where the shots came from or how many shots were fired or how many assassins were involved. None of that appears here. Dissecting the assassination conspiracy in its entirety, Final Judgment ties together little-known details that have been ignored or misunderstood (or even covered up) by other authors—whether by accident or by design. Final Judgment focuses on the most important question of all: Who was ultimately responsible for the assassination of John F. Kennedy?

Once you've read Final Judgment, you'll never look at the JFK assassination the same way again. And you may never again trust the media to tell you all of the facts about any other important event that shaped the course of history. Above all, you'll understand how the JFK assassination conspiracy evolved as it did and why—at least until the advent of Final Judgment—the truth had never been told.

It is important to note that since the first release of Final Judgment, only a handful of minor errors have been brought to the author's attention. The errors, however, had nothing whatsoever to do with the thesis of the book and were based on the research of others. Those errors have been corrected. Otherwise the conclusions reached remain unchanged.

Final Judgment stands unchallenged. The only criticism has been ad hominem. Yet, name-calling does not a successful challenge make. If anything, hysterical and malicious defamation—especially considering the sources—lends credence, in its own way, to the thesis of the book.

So there is indeed much more to be learned about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Final Judgment points the direction for those who wish to pursue the matter further. Final Judgment is—at least for the time being—precisely what its title suggests.

Michael Collins Piper has done the work necessary to assemble this volume. Now it is up to the readers to make sure that the message imparted within these pages reaches the widest audience possible. When you've finished the book, pass it on to a friend. Order extra copies to donate to libraries and to give to opinion makers in your community. Write letters to the editors of local newspapers about the book. Call radio talk shows.

Let the American people know the truth. It's all up to you. This book, if read by enough people, could play a major part—just as did the assassination of President Kennedy—in reshaping the course of world affairs. But that can only happen if enough people—who will be mad as Hell when they learn the truth—take action.

Now, prepare for a remarkable journey and learn—at long last—who really killed John F. Kennedy . . . and why.

An Introduction

by Robert L. Brock

A Black American's Perspective

on the Assassination of John F. Kennedy

As an American of African slave descent, as a U.S. Army veteran of World War II, and as a long-time laborer within the African-American community, I have a special interest in finding out precisely who killed President John F. Kennedy and why.

John F. Kennedy and his brother, Robert Kennedy, put a great deal on the line when they stepped forward and identified themselves with the cause of justice for Blacks in America. To be sure, Jack and Bobby were savvy politicians, conscious of the growing and increasingly influential Black voting bloc in America. Thus, for reasons of their own, they had made a conscious decision to align themselves politically with Americans of African slave descent. However, at the same time Jack and Bobby also truly believed that it was time that the Black man and Black woman in America deserved an even break.

Through their words and—more significantly—through their actions, the Kennedy brothers were bringing a previously-disenfranchised people under the protection of the Kennedy dynasty. Had John Kennedy lived and been elected to a second term, the Black voting bloc—for years to come—would have ultimately become part of a Kennedy political powerhouse.

Throughout the 20th century the Black political apparatus in America was dominated at the highest levels—particularly in the all-important financial realm—by Jewish influence. Organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith, one of the foremost elements in the powerful Israeli lobby, aggressively dictated the internal affairs and the public course and discourse of what were ostensibly Black —or, in the parlance of the day, Negro —civil rights organizations.

However, with the advent of the Kennedy presidency, Americans of African slave descent now had an effective and eloquent spokesman in the White House itself. This essentially had the effect of moving the ADL, for example, out of the loop. The ADL was no longer the middleman divvying up the civil rights crumbs for Blacks in America.

John F. Kennedy, for all intents and purposes, had emerged as a white mainstream voice for Black America's political empowerment. As President of the United States, speaking out on behalf of Black concerns, John F. Kennedy short-circuited the long-time domination of the Black community by Jewish financial interests and placed himself in the center of the civil rights debate. The ADL and other civil rights organizations funded by the Jewish financial interests were pushed aside and made irrelevant. A white man of Irish Catholic descent—the grandson of a saloon keeper—became Black America's unlikely spokesman and co-opted the Jewish overseers of the civil rights movement in America.

As a consequence, I do believe—as do many other Americans of African slave descent—that this is one of the reasons that the powers-that¬-be within America's plutocratic elite determined that John F. Kennedy's presidency had to be brought to premature closure.

What's more, all of this came at a time when independent Black voices such as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King were themselves rising in popularity and influence—much, it seems, to the dismay of the Jewish community. We now know that although we have heard much in the media about J. Edgar Hoover's war on Dr. King, it was the ADL that was providing the foot soldiers for this war—a fact that the ADL would much prefer be kept under wraps. A former ADL official has admitted (and as Michael Collins Piper documents in Final Judgment) it was the ADL that was actually doing much of the surveillance of Dr. King, the illicit fruits of which, in turn, were channeled by the ADL to J. Edgar Hoover's FBI.

Dr. King and Malcolm X and others knew the way of the Black ghetto. They understood how Black America was being manipulated. They knew how the drug and gambling and prostitution rackets of Meyer Lansky—a major ADL contributor—were eviscerating Black America. They dared to speak out. For that, both Martin and Malcolm ultimately paid the price.

When all is said and done, there's no question in my mind that we will find that those who slew those dreamers were also behind the murder of John F. Kennedy and his brother Bobby. This is why I take great pleasure in penning this brief introduction to Michael Collins Piper's remarkable book. I believe that Final Judgment provides the answer to the mystery of who really killed John F. Kennedy—and why.

I will say this for the record: I have nothing but contempt for those cowardly white liberals who portray themselves as admirers of JFK's stand on civil rights and say that they want to find the real murderers of President Kennedy but who otherwise ignore or suppress the facts put forth in Final Judgment. They are frauds and phonies. They are afraid of the truth. They are profiteers who are trading on the death of President Kennedy but covering up all of the facts that are there before them.

There is no other book ever written that explains the JFK assassination conspiracy so honestly or which makes everything about the JFK assassination conspiracy so crystal clear. Once you've read Final Judgment you'll understand the big picture.

Michael Collins Piper has stepped right up into the footlights of center stage and, like one of those great Broadway impresarios, Piper has presented a spell-binding scenario outlining the entirety of the JFK assassination conspiracy more powerful and more convincing than any before. I think you'll agree.

Acknowledgements—and Intrigue . . .

Having written a book on such a controversial topic as the JFK assassination—coupling that subject with a highly sensational thesis—has proven quite an adventure. It has been rewarding, if not sometimes frustrating. It's brought me a lot of new friends—and lots of enemies, too!

Since the first edition was released, I've received so many letters of congratulation and appreciated comments of many people I respect who have said—as one put it: I think you've pinned the tail on the donkey.

Never having styled myself as an expert on the JFK assassination, I protest when anyone introduces me as such. In fact, despite what many have assumed, the subject has never been a particular preoccupation of mine. There are others who have devoted much more time to the topic. And I am very familiar with their work.

However, there are many JFK assassination researchers who refuse to admit that there is even any basis for my thesis. There are those who don't wish to even acknowledge the very existence of this book—it's that controversial.

In the pages that follow, I pull no punches in naming names or pointing out why I believe some researchers are disingenuous and perhaps even compromised, bought off by the forces responsible for the JFK assassination. I don't believe I'm overstating the case at all.

Some fools have suggested Final Judgment is Arab propaganda. No Arab government or financial interest—or even any Arab-American source—had any hand in preparing, publishing or distributing this book. Only in later 2001—a full year after the publication of the fifth English-language edition—did a privately owned Arabic-language publishing house issue a translation of the book.

This work is mine alone.

Some critics pointed out that I was an employee of Liberty Lobby, the populist institution that published the (now-defunct) national weekly newspaper, The Spotlight. These critics note that Liberty Lobby questioned U.S. favoritism toward Israel. All of this is true. However, for this I make no apologies nor, for that matter, are any apologies due.

In fact, as this new edition of Final Judgment is being delivered to the publisher, the global media is focused on Israel and the Middle East . . . and the publications and voices of the Israeli lobby in America are crying (true or not) that The Whole World is Against Us.

So, it was precisely my association with Liberty Lobby that enabled me to gain special insights—particularly vis-à-vis U.S. policy toward Israel—which assisted tremendously in the preparation of this book. Other JFK researchers have not had this unusual advantage.

What's more, as you'll see in Final Judgment, Liberty Lobby became embroiled in a heated libel trial after ex-CIA figure E. Howard Hunt brought a lawsuit against Liberty Lobby for publishing an article alleging the CIA intended to frame Hunt for involvement in the JFK assassination.

Handling The Spotlight's successful defense, appropriately enough, was Mark Lane, dean of the Warren Commission critics. Lane put aside presumed ideological differences with Liberty Lobby and skillfully used the Hunt case to explore the JFK assassination in a legal forum—the first such opportunity since Jim Garrison's ill-fated prosecution of Clay Shaw.

Thus, following the Hunt case from the inside —and later studying Lane's account of the affair in Plausible Denial—gave me a unique vantage point others haven't had. I thank Mark Lane—and Willis Carto, the founder of Liberty Lobby—for this opportunity.

Willis Carto's encouragement and enthusiasm were most important in making this book possible. The title for Final Judgment was his suggestion and right on target.

As for Mark Lane, let it be noted that had he not written one word after Rush to Judgment—the book that proved the Warren Commission Report a fraud—we would still be indebted to Mark for that alone.

Although many books from others came later, Mark's singular crusade convinced the world there was much more to the story. Mark and his one-¬of-a-kind wife, Trish, are tremendous human beings and valued friends.

In Final Judgment you will also meet another remarkable individual: a former French intelligence officer who provided me with stunning inside information that forced me to rewrite the first draft of Final Judgment, thereby bringing my thesis full circle. Had it not been for his input, this book would not be complete.

The name of my French source, Pierre Neuville, was unveiled for the first time in the fifth edition of Final Judgment, but the Mossad—of course—knew his identity from the beginning.

Although the first draft presented—I think—a compelling indictment of Mossad complicity in the JFK assassination, my French source pointed me in a direction that convinced me—and many readers—that Final Judgment was on the mark.

History owes a debt to the well-known and respected former U.S. congressman, Paul Findley—a liberal, no right-wing extremist —who introduced me to this French source and vouched for his credibility. Only recently did I formally identify Findley as the conduit, but, again, it was no mystery to those who make it their business to know these things.

Another former U.S. Congressman—the late John G. Schmitz—told me of his own long-time suspicion of Mossad involvement in the JFK assassination (based on his own inquiries) and encouraged me to write this book, saying it was a book he would have liked to have written.

A rather colorful international businessman intimately associated with several prominent figures mentioned in Final Judgment gave me a rather firm endorsement of this book's thesis, saying succinctly: I think that's pretty much what happened. Considering this gentleman's connections, his assessment is very telling indeed.

Although they've certainly never endorsed my thesis, several authors upon whose works I relied extensively do confirm the secret war between JFK and Israel and suggest (in my view) that behind-the-scenes intrigue in the U.S.-Israeli relationship is relevant to the events of November 22, 1963.

Stephen Green, Andrew and Leslie Cockburn, and Seymour Hersh, in their own studies of U.S. Middle East policy (Taking Sides, Dangerous Liaison, and The Samson Option, respectively), provided the foundation upon which much of my own research was conducted.

In 1998—four years after the first release of Final Judgment—Israeli historian Avner Cohen, author of Israel and the Bomb, came along and his book (certainly unintentionally) has given great credence to my thesis.

Cohen told a mutual acquaintance—I'm sure he'd be shocked to know we even know somebody mutually—that he was horrified to learn (while doing an Internet search for data on his own book) about the existence of Final Judgment and its thesis. Of course, Cohen rushed to assert his view that rejects the idea of Israeli involvement in the JFK assassination, but the genie is out of the bottle and the world now knows that Israel and JFK were not the special friends some would have us believe.

A little-noticed—but important—book, There's a Fish in the Courthouse, by Gary Wean, enriched my own work considerably. Unfortunately, Gary now claims my book plagiarized his and that I was forced to acknowledge his work, which, of course, was clearly quoted and cited and prominently acknowledged from the start.

Nobody forced me into giving his book the recognition it was due. In fact, Gary's friend, Wade Frazier, has pointed out that I'm one of the few who has even given any credence or publicity to Gary.

A special thanks to a very real friend, Tom Valentine, host of the popular Radio Free America. When no others would, Tom gave me the opportunity to discuss this book and has continually given me much encouragement. (Among other things, by the way, Tom's also a fabulous source of information on alternative health. Check out carotec.com.)

Several other radio hosts, including Jack Stockwell and Barbara Jean at K-TALK in Salt Lake City, and One Eyed Jack Jackson in Springfield, Illinois, Bill Boshears in Cincinnati, Ron Muhammed in San Diego, Victor Thorn and Lisa Vicki Guliani (of babelmagazine.com) and Rick Adams at WALE in Providence, Rhode Island have also dared to have me on.

Ex-CIA official Victor Marchetti's counsel was appreciated, although my longtime buddy makes me chuckle when he says he still believes The KGB killed JFK. As publisher of New American View, Victor and his right hand, Donna McGrath, kept a watch on the Israeli lobby in Washington.

Vince Ryan, John Tiffany, Travis McCoy and Jim Yarbrough, among others, provided helpful suggestions during the writing of Final Judgment. Each, in his own way, contributed to this volume.

Dr. Alfred Lilienthal, the brash and wonderful pioneer American critic of America's disastrous Middle East policy, was most supportive.

A warm nod of appreciation to the late H. Keith Thompson whose support for my work honored me tremendously.

From the start, Van Loman has been a valued confidante, providing sharp insights and remarkable leads that brought the book full circle.

A tremendous, albeit-belated word of thanks to Bill Grimstad for putting me onto Frank Sturgis' little-noted Mossad connection, a rather relevant point—and that's putting it lightly—that escaped my own research.

Tom Kerr, Bill W., Reg O., Martin Williams, Tony Blizzard, and others provided editing which improved this book considerably. Bob H. L. Diehli's humor and support has also been encouraging.

Friendly words from the late Ace Hayes, firebrand publisher of the Portland Free Press, and Daniel Brandt of NameBase Newsline proved the point that the JFK assassination is not a matter of right or left, as some naïve folks still believe. Those old labels are gone with the wind.

God bless Dr. Herbert Calhoun, the former State Department official whose no-holds-barred endorsement of Final Judgment has absolutely floored my critics who do know that there are a lot of others in high places who agree with Calhoun, but just aren't yet ready to say it publicly.

Counsel from British writer Gordon Thomas was very much appreciated. Thanks also to Gordon's colleagues at The European for publishing a detailed exposition of my controversial research.

The hearty endorsement from no-nonsense Idaho attorney Edgar Steele (see conspiracypenpal.com) has certainly helped spread the word.

And I would be remiss in failing to mention Sid and Wwoolf at feralnews.com and Russ at playtowinmoney.com and the folks at afrocubaweb.com who have generously promoted Final Judgment.

Alan Jones' excellent synopsis of Final Judgment in How the World Really Works (see abjpress.com) has really been a boost. And Carol Adler, the courageous maverick publisher of many fascinating controversial titles (see dandelionbooks.net) also stands out for her interest in my work.

To Christopher and Helje Bollyn: You're gutsy people and good friends. The same to Professor Ray Goodwin who put his career on the line by telling his students Final Judgment is the last word on the JFK affair.
