The American
news media, for all the usual and most obvious reasons, has systematically
ignored the most explosive news story in years, made all the more relevant by
the countdown to further conflict in the Middle East as credible rumors continue
to surface that Israel and the United States are planning an act of preemptive
war against Iran in coming months.
The story, which
appeared in the Express Newspapers of India
on Monday, July 26th, quotes Israeli nuclear whistleblower
Mordecai Vanunu as crediting the Israeli Mossad
with the assassination of President Kennedy. Even more incredibly, Vanunu
states specifically that the motive for the assassination of Kennedy on the part
of the Israeli government was related to the American President’s insistence
that the Zionist State come clean about its nuclear program at the infamous
Dimona plant in the Negev desert.
Vanunu was
released by the Israeli authorities in April after 18 years imprisonment for a
treason conviction related to the disclosure of state secrets regarding the
Israelis’ nuclear program. His sensational public charge about the involvement
of the Mossad in the Kennedy murder might simply be relegated to the realm of
the utterances of a disgruntled or imbalanced man, except for one additional
item.
Michael Collins Piper, the author of
Final Judgment: The Missing Link in the JFK
Assassination Conspiracy, has made a previous case for Israel’s
direct involvement in the Dealey Plaza murder of John Kennedy on November 22,
1963 that is both plausible and compelling. The Vanunu account simply
underscores and corroborates the case Piper made originally over a decade ago.
The converging accounts of the two men are most disturbing.
Piper tells the
reader of Final Judgment that
1963 proved to be a pivotal year in a publicly
unreported conflict between America’s 35th President and Israeli
Prime Minister David Ben Gurion, principally over Israel’s failure to submit its
Dimona operation to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspection,
and secondarily to a negotiated settlement with the Palestinians. He
subsequently proceeds to discuss the principle alleged players in the
assassination plot itself in a way which corroborates the research of such
respected Kennedy assassination scholars as the UK’s
Anthony Summers and University of Texas
professor Jim Marrs. Readers of the work
of Summers and Marrs will be intimately familiar with names like Sam Giancana,
Johnny Roselli, Carlos Marcello, Guy Banister, William Harvey, William Sullivan,
George de Mohrenschildt, James Jesus Angleton, Richard Helms, Alpha 66, and
Santos Trafficante. Typically, the demonstrated links of these individuals with
organized crime syndicates, the anti-Castro Cuban exilic community of the early
1960s, and an element of the Central Intelligence Agency involved with the first
two groups, has resulted in past tentative conclusions that the crux of the plot
that took Mr. Kennedy’s life involved a convergence of interest of these three
(3) key constituencies involved in a sordid triumvirate deliberately concealed
from the American public 40 years ago by the Warren Commission.
Piper does not
discredit this conclusion reached by his predecessors in their research of the
circumstances that led specific individuals to participate in a plot to kill the
President. He simply demonstrates what has been hidden from view before now:
that those fingered by the meticulous academic
research of Summers, Marrs, and others, have even deeper demonstrable
associations with the Israeli lobby and Israeli intelligence.-[Full Article]
