I have always thought that LBJ was more than likely behind the JFK assassination. LBJ was a power hungry man from Good Ole Boy politics of the south who hated the Kennedys.

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.

like live in the real world ever one knows that the kennedy assassination was bushes fault

I read the interview with Stone on The Daily Caller today.

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.

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.

Lodge was an old school Brahmin who nonetheless spoke Spanish, Italian, French, and German. He enjoyed a brief career as a B-movie actor in Europe, appearing onscreen with Marlene Dietrich and Shirley Temple.

Okay, so I guess the thread's not a total loss ...

I believe it

[Snickering Hound]

It certainly wasn't Oswald. He was in the middle of his awesome cover of "Long Tall Sally" when the assassination occurred.

[muir_redwoods]

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.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I have thought that Johnson was behind the assassination for years.

[blueunicorn6]

I think that LBJ was in on it, but I think the Democrat party was also in on it. We find out now that JFK had a drug problem. He was having an affair with a communist agent. He was very sexually active and becoming indiscreet. LBJ was in on it, but the Democrat party tightened up the JFK loose end. And without the Vietnam War, everything might have turned out just fine for the Democrats.

[Revolting cat!]

Actually, it was Brian Epstein the manager of the Beatles, whom Kennedy at Ed Sullivan's insistence tried to prevent from entering the US. The CIA got Epstein in 1967. Here he is conspiring.

Politicians stick together in public unless they have a reason not to. But that makes them even more cutting and spiteful in private. So, sure, I don't doubt that Lodge or Nixon would say that Johnson was capable of something like this (or vice versa), but how much of that is them just letting off steam and how much is a considered judgment abut what actually could have happened.

It was Howard Dean....
