Jackie Onassis believed that Lyndon B Johnson and a cabal of Texas tycoons were involved in the assassination of her husband John F Kennedy, ‘explosive’ recordings are set to reveal.
The secret tapes will show that the former first lady felt that her husband’s successor was at the heart of the plot to murder him.
She became convinced that the then vice president, along with businessmen in the South, had orchestrated the Dallas shooting, with gunman Lee Harvey Oswald – long claimed to have been a lone assassin – merely part of a much larger conspiracy.
Texas-born Mr Johnson, who served as the state’s governor and senator, completed Mr Kennedy’s term and went on to be elected president in his own right.
The tapes were recorded with leading historian Arthur Schlesinger Jnr within months of the assassination on November 22, 1963, and had been sealed in a vault at the Kennedy Library in Boston.

Well there is one more thing that I just thought of. Robert Caro should be getting round to wrapping up his fourth and final installment of his LBJ biography covering the events of 1960 onwards. When this is due to come out I don’t know but it’s definitely been in the works for some time. Possible connection? I don’t know. But Caroline may still have some book industry contacts left over from her mother, and Caro is a New Yorker so who knows.
Ah, but he was a steely-eyed, opportunistic socialist....the step directly preceeding communism.

Even if Johnson wasn’t involved in the actual assasinatio0n of JFK he sure took advantage of it and rode it as long as he could.
Sometimes i wonder what life would be like in that alternate universe where Nixon won in 1960.
Some say that the JFK assassination “spooked the heck out of Nixon” which is why he got into the habit of recording his phone calls and slowly became so paranoid that he did himself in with Watergate.
If Nixon had won in 1960 maybe Nixon would have been a better president without all that 1968 baggage....

He was a hell of a lot better than Johnson. Plus JFK from what I know off him knew about the issues of having high taxes concerning economic growth and was against high taxes.
JFk was an idealist, LBJ was an opportunist and a wickedly smart one at that.
LBJ gave use the “New Deal 2.0” while I think JFK would have given us the “New Deal 1.1” Johnson did his new deal the “great Society” as a mean for him to cement his power and that is what made him so damned dangerous as he was far more Machiavellian that JFK.
If it’s on ABC we certainly won’t view it.
I have to admit, it’s proven time and time again, that money is the root of all evil — along with involved useful idiots.
...I love a good conspiracy theory...
...I hear that crap all the time. “Let it go, it was along time ago.” “OK, then don’t bring up Jesus to me. I know all about Him and it’s personal, so quit buggin’ me about it...
...BTW, welcome aboard. Get’s rough sometime, try not to take it personal. Even though with some of the FReaks it is...
Being correct seldom gains you much popularity on this forum.
Hello LadyBird!!!! We are remarking on what JACKIE said....not Oliver Stone!! For a NEW freeper, you sure sound like a LEFTY from DU.......read first, before you remark....and mind your manners here, sonny.
I may be wrong, but it looks like the guy Johnson is looking at is winking at him
You are absolutely correct. All over the internet it's called the "wink photo." The winker is Texas congressman Albert Thomas. And check out the smile on Lady Bird's face.
Texas congressman Albert Thomas.
Excuse me? Read that post again. I believe Johnson was part of the plot.
Geez...
He was. He finally made it to the presidency, and this was the only way he could do it.
I wish he would hurry up. I read the first volume in 1982.
Exactly - and there’s the example of William Manchester who planned a multivolume work in Churchill and never lived long enough to complete it.
OK so tell me then... why would the ENTIRE Kennedy family express satisfaction at the findings of the Warren Commission? And even if they hadn’t, why, through all these years, stay silent on it? All his faults aside, did Ted Kennedy strike you as someone who could be intimidated into silence about the killing of his brother?
Read Vince Bugliosi’s book, “Reclaiming History.” It breaks down and dissects all the conspiracy theories — and their theorists — and completely lays out a clear case as to why Oswald acted alone.
