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.
I was in Latin class when it was announced that Kennedy had been shot. I don’t know if it was reflex or what, but I immediately felt that LBJ had had him done in. I’d become very interested in politics in 7th grade and read the newspaper regularly. One of my friends’ older sisters went on to join the FBI.
In 1963, a 24-year-old killed the leader of the free world. Today, Mommy and Daddy would still be carrying him on their health plan.
Well, they say JKF was likely to lose his re-election, taking away LBJ’s opportunity to be the shoe-in for the next election. It’s always made sense to me that LBJ could have been behind the assignation. It makes as much sense as any other theory.
Thank you for this thread.
Former Bush spokesman Scott McClellan’s dad Barr who was a promenient Texas attorney pretty well lays out the case in: “Blood, Money and Power: How LBJ Killed JFK”

Ah, yes. Compelling new evidence ... in the form of third-hand information in an unverifiable conversation that took place at least 28 years ago.
A Few Questions that Beg for Answers
Why did RFK ask LBJ: “Why did you have my brother killed?” Was he off his rocker? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tclZrJiJSL0
Why were fingerprints of Mac Wallace, a known assassin who worked for LBJ and Ed Clark, found in the sniper’s nest on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository?

Why did LBJ exclaim to his mistress Madeleine Duncan Brown after a meeting at Dallas house of Clint Murchison (owner of the Book Depository), attended by J. Edgar Hoover, Nixon, Mafia kingpins, and CIA allies of LBJ) on the eve of the assassination: “After tomorrow, those goddamn Kennedys will never embarrass me again. That’s no threat. That’s a promise”? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79lOKs0Kr_Y
Who desparately wanted to be president and thought JFK had stolen the Democrtaic nomination from him? Who was going to be dropped from the JFK ticket in 1964 because of financial scandals? Who invited JFK to Dallas? Who changed the president’s route to pass by the Book Depository? Who moved to secure the limousine and JFK’s body immediately after the assassination? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSXQYvm57YM
Who set up the Warren Commission and demanded Oswald be found to be the sole gunman? Who controlled the police in Dallas and the FBI and CIA in Washington? The answer: Lyndon Baines Johnson. LBJ had the motive, the means, the opportunity, the history of elimnating his opponents, and the quotations that point to his arrangement and approval of the JFK assassination and vigorous cover-up. LBJ was the clear winner.

That LBJ was responsible does not deny CIA/FBI/Secret Service and Mafia involvement but strengthens the case against him as he provided the leadership and federal resources to coordinate the assassination, select a patsy (in the CIA’s False Defector Program), and dominate the news media, such that to this day most news outlets are afraid to challenge the Warren Commission’s official story. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjU2LtVGxN0
Why do the majority of Texans and a majority of Europeans believe LBJ was behind the murder of JFK? Why do we have such difficulty in accepting the fact that a coup d’etat happened on our watch, given that we elected (and re-elected) a Muslim Marxist with no substantive experience, no discernable achievements, and a profound hatred of things American, i.e., our Constitution and our values, as our most recent president?

No doubt but that conspiracy theories advance when key questions go unanswered and the evidence contradicts physics and forensics. The reason: there are no good answers that would be satisfactory to the media, which is afraid to even raise the possibility of LBJ’s involvement. New books out by Bill O’Reilly and Vincent Bugliosi duck the tough questions, and unlike a good murder mystery, we don’t have time to pay attention to all those important details that are available or to reason logically to a correct solution.

The crime may never be solved in a way most Americans will agree, especially if the documents still withheld don’t get released in the latter part of this century, as promised. Accepting that LBJ was a ringleader-killer would then cause us to admit that our great political system, the widely acclaimed democratic experiment with all its checks and balances, didn’t work, that we might be less pure than we thought we were. The Giant has gone back to sleep.
