For a few months in 1966, the budding romance between film star George Hamilton and Lynda Bird Johnson, daughter of the 36th president, was the talk of Washington....But a previously confidential FBI file - which a Philadelphia judge last week outlined in an opinion and ordered to be released - shows for the first time how far Johnson went to protect his daughter and his presidency

I’ve swung back on both sides per conspiracy. Of course, Oswald being shot himself is the main thing that fuels conspiracy but LHO certainly had means, motivation and opportunity.
I lived through both administrations and I'm well aware of the extraordinary level of corruption within the Clinton administration, thank you.
Notice, though, that I referenced two specific metrics: corruption and abuse of power. LBJ, in my opinion, rates worse than Clinton because of his extraordinary abuse of power. Clinton was no piker in this regard, either. But LBJ was comparable to BHO on this measure.
I'm not convinced, for example, that LBJ had a role in the assassination of JFK -- but he was quite capable of doing so. Again, not to say that Bill (or Hillary) wasn't capable of the same thing.
Oh, hell! Upon reflection, there might not have been that much difference after all. Let's agree that the three administrations stand head and shoulders ahead of any other pretenders.
LBJ hated the Kennedys. Oswald was a lone nutjob with a rifle. Jack Ruby wanted notoriety so he killed Oswald.
Oswald’s dastardly act handed the Presidency to LBJ with the power to silence those who had the dirt on him.
The Soviets mourned JFK’s death; he had been useful to them.
LBJ steered us into Vietnam & the `Great Society’ but it was all done openly with the concurrence of Congress.
Nothing to see here, folks, move along.
A little digging in 50's & 60's TX politics will scare the hell out of most folks. . . .
LBJ was evil incarnate. The stuff he pulled in Texas before he ever got on the national scene was unbelievable.
Sorry, but if you were aware of the level of corruption and abuse of power of the Clinton adm you wouldn’t make such a ridiculous statement that LBJ was worse.
The Oil for Food Program alone was hundreds of billons of dollars.
The OFF Program was a repeat of Hillary’s cattle futures scam on steroids. It was the brainchild of Marc Rich.
With the help of B Clinton and his control of the US military and his controlling when OFF oil would be released by Iraq, there was no way to loose playing the oil futures market.
Clinton and Saddam Hussein would rattle sabers and our military would respond with bombings, and the price of oil would go up, that’s when you sell.
Clinton would agree on the release of OFF oil, price would go down, that when you buy.
As a matter of fact the manipulation of the price of oil drove the price of oil so low it helped create if not outright create, the worldwide recession Bush inherited from Clinton.
The 9/11 attack was an attack against the economy.
First there was a recession, then the 9/11 attack, it was a 1-2 punch.
There is an al Qaeda doc recovered in Afghanistan.
It’s a letter from OBL to Mullah Omar listed as doc #AFGP-2002-600321 in what was the CTC at West Point Harmony Database.
Get the doc see if you can figure out from what OBL says who it is making the “preparations” for the terrorist attacks.
Sorry, did I say “preparations”?
There can’t be any “preparations” for the attacks, Hillary has told us the attacks are “spontaneous”.
It's hardly "ridiculous".
JFK put us in Vietnam when he shipped in 16,000 troops.
So much of what LBJ did was the continuation of JFK’s leftism, as it was, JFK accomplished more for the left than people realize.
For a full picture of the evil nature of LBJ, read Robert A. Caro’s books on “Landslide Lyndon”.
Caro is now working on the final volume which is about LBJ as President. He’s 77 years old, hope he gets to complete it.
It’s more than a little satisfying to note that LBJ lived only four more years after he passed up running for a second term in 1968. Really skidded downhill healthwise & this time Lady Bird couldn’t save him.
