Book Review: Judge For Yourself

Judge For Yourself, A Treasury Of Writing By John Judge

by John Patrick Judge (Author), Joseph E Green (Editor), David T Ratcliffe (Introduction), Kenn Thomas (Foreword)

The title is a bit of a misnomer.  The actual writings by the late and venerable researcher John Judge are only part of a work that includes interviews with Judge and speeches by him.  Oddly, the written works are not well sourced and the reader will wonder where they were originally published.  The collection of interviews and several speeches are properly sourced.

Actually the title could be, “Anything You Have Heard About Everything Is Wrong.“  Though heavily involved in researching the JFK assassination, Judge flips the lid on many famous events in the latter part of the 20th century.  John Hinkley’s assassination attempt on President Regan involved another assassin;  The Jonestown cult members didn’t drink the cool-aid, they were killed by Special Forces and all sorts of amazing realizations of unknown, or not properly documented, history.  

John Judge in this collection, has a tendency to make declarative statements with little or no citations.  It is unknown what sources he had access to, as he rarely tells us.  However, this does make for some intriguing issues for the reader to determine for themselves whether they are true or not.  Basically, we are left to take Judge’s word for it.

There are some great stories in this book.  One involves another great researcher, Mae Brussell (LINK).  Judge partnered with her and he tells the story of how concerned the Deep State became when they built a house right across the street from Mae.  Judge recalls the Brussell went to meet and greet the new neighbors and looking thru a window and saw no one and no furniture in the living room, just a huge tape deck.  Never met a soul.  Years later and two weeks before she died of cancer, lots of construction noise came from the house.  Judge said he found out later that they were dismantling the surveillance equipment.  The day Mae Brussell died the house burned to the ground.  The Fire Chief would not release the names of the owners or occupants of the house.  A good example of Deep State control of information flow and the media.

Nazis, Nazis everywhere!  John Judge’s fixation on former Nazis, current Nazis and their assorted connections borders on obsession.  While it is true that lots of Nazis were brought over under Operation Paperclip after the war to build the space program and ramp up intelligence operations, Judge finds connections, if not guilt by association, with numerous luminaries that most would never suspect.  While it is noble of him to expose this willing infiltration of Nazis by the government, the irony here is that Judge never has a problem with the other side—communism.  In the world of John Judge, they are not involved with conspiracies, have no supporting role with anybody and have no plans for world wide dominance.  For Judge, only Nazis have the power to do so (even though this is highly over rated in that regard since they are not operating from a State apparatus) and it is a failure to ignore how dangerous communism was for world peace.   As author and talk host Mark Levin said, all communist states are police states.  For John Judge only Nazis maintain police states.  At least his heart was in the right place.

That not withstanding, Judge tells the amazing story of his mother (name never mentioned), who was the highest paid female civilian employee at the Pentagon as a manpower analyst.  Her job was to project future troop enlistments, discharges, non-combat injuries and so forth.  She couldn’t believe the data she had to work with and she brought this to the attention of her boss and was told that the war was to last for 10 years at a cost of 57,000 causalities.  An amazingly accurate forecast!  This all began in last week of November.  The Deep State had ramped up for the war in Vietnam and John Kennedy had only been dead for a few days.  It is unclear how this precise forecast had been formulated.  One can assume this still goes on for the other wars that have happened since 1963.  

Overall, a great read on the thoughts of John Judge.  I would have liked to see more writings from the 1990’s and first decade of this century as this tome heavily covers issues of the 1960-1980 time periods and leaves out many scandals and political events of the 1990’s and through the first decade of the 2000’s.

They Got Their Wish

The essential myth of the Kennedy assassination is that it is a random event—a random killing. But this myth denies an important factor and that is, as Peter Dale Scott asserts, the “deep politics” behind the assassination. A careful examination of John F. Kennedy’s policies shows that he defied the various fiefdoms that most people are unaware of in their daily lives. These fiefdoms are an odd combination of corporate businesses, organized crime lords, government agencies, and intelligence organizations. You can throw in a general group of overseas nation state enemies as well. The main nexus seems to be a cabal of corporate and intelligence entities. That’s why it’s hard to figure it out a conspiracy—there are so many suspects here it is difficult, if not impossible, to pin the crime on any one party.

It is undeniable fact that the death of John Kennedy resulted in numerous policies changes in our government. His death would benefit many and his death did benefit them all in the end. Within days of his death Lyndon B. Johnson was firing off one executive order after the other making numerous reversals of Kennedy administration policy.

So, a lone nut gunman shows up and kills a man with a legion of enemies. What do these men do now, sit back, smoke their cigars, drink their brandy and celebrate their good luck? I think not.

At the death of the King the other Kings had their wishes come true. And here are just a few:

The Texas Oilmen. JFK was in the process of getting rid of the Oil Depletion Allowance. His death put that off for years till it was finally ended in the early 1970’s.

The Mob. The death of JFK ended brother Bobby’s rein of terror on them. It was business as usual. Not even Hoover would return Bobby’s calls after that.

The Federal Reserve. Shortly after the assassination, LBJ signed the executive order taking all of the Treasury notes Kennedy issued, backed by silver and not credit (as under the Federal Reserve banking system) out of circulation. JFK remains the last President to issue currency through the Treasury (i.e., Constitutional money) backed by hard assets.

The Pentagon/National Security State. LBJ reverses Kennedy’s National Security Action Memorandum 263, which keeps troops in Vietnam indefinitely and ultimately escalating the war.

Brown and Root (Halliburton). Got the war they wanted to profit from.

The CIA. Didn’t have to ever have to worry again about Kennedy dismantling them.

Israel. Got the green light from LBJ to build nuclear weapons. JFK opposed this idea thinking it might lead to a Middle Eastern nuclear arms race.

Anti Castro Cubans. They get their revenge for the Bay of Pig fiasco and an end to behind the scenes secret talks with Castro.

Lyndon Johnson and J. Edgar Hoover. Both men hated JFK and his brother deeply. Johnson got his dream job he had long lusted for in the Oval Office and Hoover got from Johnson an Executive Order that exempted him from Federal retirement regulations and made him basically FBI Director for life.
