I realize that delving into the world of assassination research and a belief in a conspiracy will lead some to brand me as an extremist or a nut, but the facts I have uncovered are so compelling that I must make the case that Lyndon Baines Johnson had John Fitzgerald Kennedy murdered in Dallas to become president himself and to avert the precipitous political and legal fall that was about to beset him.

When Lodge was in his eighties, he served vigorously as the chairman of Ronald Reagan’s campaign for President in Connecticut, a post I had recruited him for as the Northeast regional director.
Lodge had done Kennedy’s dirty work coordinating a campaign with the CIA to assassinate Catholic Vietnamese President Diem. I couldn’t resist asking John Lodge about his brother. “Did you ever ask your brother who really killed Kennedy?” I said.

His lips spread in a tight grin. “Cabot said it was the Agency boys, some Mafiosi,” he looked me in the eye . . . “and Lyndon.”
“Did your brother know in advance?” I asked.
Lodge took a sip of his Manhattan.“He knew Kennedy wouldn’t be around to fire him. LBJ kept him at his post so he could serve his country.”

Just curious if anyone has read the book. I browsed through the Warren Commission Report in my teens and found it boring and implausible. I haven’t yet read Stones book but I am considering getting and reading the book.
Some conspiracy theorist probably concludes that JFK committed suicide in the car.
JFK committed suicide to frame LBJ.
like live in the real world ever one knows that the kennedy assassination was bushes fault
I was struck by his claim that John Mitchell (Nixon's AG) and Nixon himself were his sources for a lot of this.
I believe LBJ was capable of anything but I have not seen a shred of evidence that he had anything to do with the assassination of Kennedy.
I read a book review some time back from Am Spec about a Cuban defector who implicated Castro. It sounded very plausible. Unfortunately I can’t remember the title or author.
LBJ was a jerk, but I have a hard time believing he’d do such a thing.
I thought so too.
I think it will be rather lively.
After all, it was you and me.
If “they” could pull off a conspiracy this big, this vast, involving so many diverse masses of people from all works of life, professions and levels, and who all go to their graves with the secrets, including the new ones who maintain the secrets, then it isn’t even worth the effort to wonder about it because they would have God like powers to cloud men’s minds anyway.
Just saw one documentary which focused on ballistics and claimed that the kill shot came from a frangible round, from a secret service ar-15.
I tend to think it was just the nut, Oswald, who got in a lucky shot.
Okay, so I guess the thread's not a total loss ...
Senior or Junior?
I think Junior would have been in High School.
It certainly wasn't Oswald. He was in the middle of his awesome cover of "Long Tall Sally" when the assassination occurred.
I’ll make the following observation. I’ve been to the book depository building in Dallas. Ive stood next to the window Oswald used; the actual window is sealed behind a plexiglass shield. From just next to Oswalds position I could easily see the “X” painted on the roadway of Dealy Plaza marking the spot where Kennedy was hit.
I’m a fairly good shot; certainly not a Marine marksman. I could have made those shots pretty easily with a bolt action rifle. I have no doubt.
