Kennedy and King Assassination Theories
Piper claims John F. Kennedy's assassination "was a joint enterprise conducted on the highest levels of the CIA, in collaboration with organized crime and ... the Israeli intelligence service Mossad." In his Final Judgment, he posits that Israeli prime-minister David Ben-Gurion was the prime mover in Kennedy's assassination due to disputes with Egypt, plus Kennedy's attempts to halt Israeli atomic research. Piper also seeks to tie in other John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories, primarily involving claims that Jewish mobster Meyer Lansky's organized the hit, and that future president Lyndon B. Johnson staged the event from inside the administration. Piper also alleged that the Jewish organization Anti-Defamation League was linked to the murder. The ADL responded with harsh criticisms, called the claims ridiculous, and denounced Final Judgment as anti-Semitic.
Additionally, Piper has written articles in American Free Press that claim that the Mossad and the FBI conspired to set up the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Piper claims this was motivated by fear of King's anti-Israel statements combined with his massive grassroots power.

Famous quotes containing the words kennedy, king and/or theories:
“The moment when she crawled out onto the back of the open limousine in which her husband had been murdered was the first and last time the American people would see Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis crawl.... She was the last great private public figure in this country. In a time of gilt and glitz and perpetual revelation, she was perpetually associated with that thing so difficult to describe yet so simple to recognize, the apotheosis of dignity.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
““I see nobody on the road,” said Alice.
“I only wish I had such eyes,” the King remarked in a fretful tone. “To be able to see Nobody! And at that distance too! Why, it’s as much as I can do to see real people, by this light!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“Generalisation is necessary to the advancement of knowledge; but particularly is indispensable to the creations of the imagination. In proportion as men know more and think more they look less at individuals and more at classes. They therefore make better theories and worse poems.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
