THE UNZ REPORT — In the 1990s, a couple of bestsellers brought to the knowledge of a large public the fact that JFK’s assassination in 1963 solved an intense crisis over Israel’s secret nuclear program. In one of his last letters to Kennedy, quoted by Seymour Hersh in The Samson Option (1991), Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion complained: “Mr. President, my people have the right to exist […] and this existence is in danger.”[1] The nuclear option was judged vital for Israel, and JFK opposed it. A Haaretz review of Avner Cohen’s book Israel and the Bomb (1998) puts it this way:
“The murder of American President John F. Kennedy brought to an abrupt end the massive pressure being applied by the US administration on the government of Israel to discontinue the nuclear program. Cohen demonstrates at length the pressures applied by Kennedy on Ben-Gurion. […] The book implied that, had Kennedy remained alive, it is doubtful whether Israel would today have a nuclear option.”[2]
Also openly discussed by Israeli historians today are the close connections between Ben-Gurion’s network in the U.S. and what Tel-Aviv professor Robert Rockaway calls “Gangsters for Zion”, including the infamous “Murder, Incorporated”, run by Bugsy Siegel and then by Mickey Cohen, Jack Ruby’s mentor.
That Israel had the motive and the means of killing JFK does not prove that Israel did it. But I am quite certain that today, most smart Israelis assume and half-approve that Ben-Gurion ordered the elimination of JFK in order to replace him by Lyndon Johnson, whose love for Israel is also now widely celebrated, to the point that some speculate he might have been a secret Jew. […]
Dave Martin is essentially correct that Forrestal’s murder was the work of Zionists. That was not the only motive for killing him, however. America’s Evil Elite were planning a war in Korea, a war that Forrestal, a man of great personal integrity, was unalterably opposed to.
The conventional view is that Korea was an act of North Korean aggression that was opposed by heroic democracies- that’s total and complete bullshit. The Korean war was a for-profit war, planned on Wall Street.
The war was planned for June 25th, 1950. Why the 25th? because Congress adjourned on Friday, the 23rd, and it was an election year, so most had returned to their districts. CIA director Roscoe Hillenkoetter, who was opposed to the war, managed to persuade a quorum of senators who sat on the finance committee to stick around town, and on June 30th, he testified before the committee on the American origins of the war.
This testimony got DCI Hillenkoetter immediately fired. His testimony before the Finance Committee was classified top secret, and remains so to this day. Congressman Howard Buffet {Warren’s father} tried for the rest of his life to get Hillenkoetter’s testimony declassified, stating that it proved the Wall Street origins of the Korean war.
Harry S. Truman covered up Forrestal’s murder.
The S. stands for Snake.
Harry’s was placed into office by organized crime (Thomas Pendergast -Kansas City).
Harry received a bribe to recognize the state of Israel (May 14, 1948) just before his Surprise come from behind election over John Dewey (November 3, 1948).
Harry refused to stand for re-election in 1952, because he AND his policies were unpopular.
