I read quite a bit of Robert Caro’s biography of LBJ. Caro made it quite clear that LBJ was a sleazy, underhanded politician who would do anything for power. It was very obvious that Caro admired him greatly. If LBJ had Kennedy killed (which I consider likely) I don’t even know if people like Caro would care. Great Society is what counts, baby!

Yeah, all that is true about LBJ but he’d be a piker compared to what we’ve had lately.

I completely understand the motivation that US spooks or politicians might have.

And “if true” they got away with it, even. But it seems improbable that a guy like Alan Dulles would be so certain if not getting caught. Blackmail, revenge, blowback. Not to mention maybe launching nuclear world war. Seems reckless as hell.

It was actually the Caro books that convinced me that LBJ was behind it!

” If LBJ had Kennedy killed (which I consider likely) “

Right, after all that to get the job he just up and quit in 1968. I call BS on this one.
