About the book by Stone, I can read what it says but I just don’t know if it is potent enough for me to believe.
“By late November, 1963, the Kennedys were within days of politically executing and personally destroying Lyndon Johnson via a two track program: 1) a devastating RFK-fed LIFE Magazine expose of LBJ’s astounding corruption and 2) an RFK-nurtured Senate Rules Committee investigation into LBJ’s habit of taking large bribes and kickbacks.”
This is some of what is in the book, hard to think this in Dallas happened against this background.
“* Roger Stone combines his decades of insider political ken with cutting edge JFK research to let you know what Richard Nixon, Henry Cabot Lodge, Barry Goldwater and the KGB all concluded: Lyndon Johnson orchestrated the assassination of John Kennedy.
* Stone ties LBJ to at least seven politically motivated murders prior to the murder of John F. Kennedy. Stone: “LBJ would order up a murder just as you or I would order a ham sandwich.”

Apparently the above seems to be from a publicity mailout for the book.
I remember that my Dad believed, this is prior to the assassination, that LBJ was a thug, implicated in murders along with Bobby Baker. I was just a kid but I had already started digging my dad’s books out of the closet... None Dare Call it Treason, Goldwater’s book, and the like. I’d go to his “Young Republican” meetings with him... I was a freeper then, I just had to wait another half century for it to be born.
LBJ was one of the main things he held against JFK himself (not realizing that JFK apparently felt the same way about him).
