Jackie Kennedy believed Lyndon Johnson killed JFK
Communities Digital News ^ | October 18, 2014 | Richard Cameron

It has been widely reported that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, widow of President John F. Kennedy, shared with family members she was certain that Kennedy’s Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson, arranged to have her husband murdered.

Soon that conclusion will be heard in the late First Lady’s own words, because audio tapes, recorded of discussions with historian and close family associate, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., between March and June 1964, will be released and excerpts featured on an upcoming ABC News program in November marking the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

The tapes, which insiders describe as featuring Ms. Kennedy’s disclosures of J.F.K.’s affairs and her romantic liaisons in retaliation, also reportedly reveal her conviction that L.B.J., with a cabal of associates and Texas businessmen, orchestrated the plot culminating in the Kennedy assassination. This is in contrast to the account of these interviews in Barbara Leaming’s biography of Ms.Kennedy, “The Winter of Her Despair”.

The establishment theory of the Kennedy assassination, arguably the most controversial event in American history, is dubbed the “lone gunman”. It is the conclusion of the Warren Report, commissioned by newly sworn in Lyndon Johnson and chaired by then Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Earl Warren.

It concludes that Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, a disturbed ex-Marine who had exhibited erratic actions and behavior and that Oswald shot the President from the 6th floor of the Dallas Book Depository building....

The photo of LBJ being sworn in on Air Force One with Jackie there seems to show she felt that way from the get go. That said it doesn’t make it necessarily so.

I think Jackie was having a long time affair with Oswald and wanted him gone.

The true inspiration for "Love Story"?

I lived in Dallas at the time. Word was, that Kennedy was going to “drop” LBJ from the ticket for the next election.

More than a rumor...

Oswald did it. Case Closed!

Stop feeding the bull spit, because Oswald and his Mannlicher were too puny to take the titan down, it had to be someone else.

Too bad there was no one else. Just Oswald.

The left loves to say Oswald was a cog in a conspiracy, but Major Hassan, the Ft Hood shooter, acted alone in an ugly act of work place violence by a troubled individual. The reality is that Hassan was a cog in a conspiracy, and Oswald acted alone.

I read something a long time ago that Kennedy wrote Executive Order 11110 which he signed in April of 1963. The central bank (FEDs) didn’t like that and had him killed. Although EO 11110 is still valid, the government shortly after Kennedy’s death removed all the money printed with “United States Note” while leaving Federal Reserve Notes in circulation. Google “Executive Order 11110” for more information.

Yes, many of his policies were quite unpopular - but who was going to beat him? Nixon, especially after losing as CA governor in 1962? Not a chance. Goldwater? More or less unknown, and too extreme to win only 20 years after “Saint” FDR. Who else could have won?

May I remind you that B. H. Obola won in 2012 despite EVEN MORE unpopular policies. Shows the power of the incumbancy.

She might have said it. Maybe. But why is this story talking about "...and excerpts featured on an upcoming ABC News program in November marking the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas", when the anniversary was LAST year?

In any case, whatever she thought, Oswald shot JFK. Any conspiracy has to connect the conspirators to Oswald, it's not enough to just think random people had motive.

So whats all that stuff on the Zapruder film?

JERRY: Newman, Kramer, if you'll indulge me.
According to your story, Keith passes you and starts walking up the ramp, then you say you were struck on the right temple.
The spit then proceeds to ricochet off the temple, striking Newman between the third and forth rib.
The spit then came off the rib, turned, and hit Newman in the right wrist causing him to drop his baseball cap.
The spit then splashed off the wrist -- pauses in mid air mind you -- makes a left turn and lands on Newman's left thigh.
That is one magic loogie.

Yep, and Johnson was upset about it, because he did not want his friend Connally in the Kennedy limo for some reason.

LBJ turned the DemoKKKrat party hard left toward socialism/communism and it began adopting the official communist goals as entered in the 1963 Congressional Record.

With comrade obamatollah, who was endorsed by CPUSA in ‘08 and ‘12, the metamorphosis has been completed.

From:http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/lee-harvey-oswalds-carcano-rifle-shooting-it-today/ The FBI reported to the Warren Commission that they actually could not zero the scope on Oswald’s gun without putting some kind of shims in it, but as you can see in the pictures, I don’t see where such shims would even go. Our scope is clearly a replica and not the same model as the Oswald scope, but it is the same power and the mount is identical. It was difficult to zero because of the very old and rudimentary design, but zero it we did. The recoil is very manageable on the Carcano, so there would be little worry of it affecting even a cheap scope. One thing I have never seen explained online is that the scope on the Oswald rifle is a side mount, like an M1 Garand sniper modesl. You can still use the open sights just as you would without a scope, and you don’t have to look under the mounts like you would with a modern see-thru mount. The open sights are zeroed for 200 yards and shoot about 8″ high at 50 yards. There are published theories that Oswald used the open sights on the gun, because the thinking is he could not zero the optics anyway, and that using the awkward side optic would take too long between shots to aim. Our open sights are not adjustable, but they were pretty close to point-of-aim horizontally, but would require about an 8″ hold under. Oswald’s rifle had the same non-adjustable sights as this test gun, and it is very possible that at that distance, only 58 yards or so, he used the iron sights

My father believed that JFK’s policies were so unpopular that he would not have been reelected. But then again, what would my Dad know? I remember my Dad lamenting that that Reagan wasn’t running for President . . . in 1959.

Are there any honest biased free ballistics experts that
have refuted or disproved the single bullet theory.

I think you are on the right track there, the socialist needed LBJ to bring in the Great Society.......which would then bring in Obolacare........Every 40 or 50 years there is another "GREAT SOCIETY improvement" that must be made law.

socialist takeover incrementally, starting with FDR and social secrity.

2 JFK conspiracy theorists die and go to Heaven.

They get to meet God and so they ask him; What really happened to John F. Kennedy? What is the Mob? The Russians, LBJ?”

God smiled and said; “It was Lee Harvey Oswald in the Book Depository.”

The one conspiracist said to the other; “See? I told you this goes higher than God!”

I gave up on Bones when they settled into a pattern of using ‘magic dirt’ to solve every case. Claiming that every crime scene or hostage hideout has some unique combination of pollen and minerals which can be cross catalogued in some mythical database right after a commercial break is just tiresome, the opposite of entertaining.

Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas.

First off, the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination was LAST November.

Secondly, it seems that Jackie was saying all of this just a few months after the assassination and certainly a long time before all of the details were known. Did she have any actual proof that LBJ was behind it, did she repeat the claim later.

Believe me, I'm no fan of LBJ and I don't believe that Oswald acted along. I think the assassination was part of a broader conspiracy, I just don't think Johnson was behind it. IF LBJ was behind it, I don't believe he would have done it in Texas and risk any personal connection and I don't think he would have taken the personal risk to his and his wife's safety by being present.

That certainly would be a motive. Another thing that struck me strange, was the protection the officers DID NOT give Oswald as they walked him into the path of RUBY.

Strikes me very strange, seems as though they knew what was going to happen, and pretended to be guarding him.

I would have thought they would actually surround "circled" Oswald, the most hated man in the world at that moment. That walk was very orchastrated, imo.

As I said, LBJ literally owned Dallas, mafia style, people I hear were very afraid of him when he governed. Somewhat like "Ger 'er done", and they knew what he meant.
