Craig I. Zirbel, The Texas Connection, Warner, 1991, presents the qui bono case against LBJ.
Mark North, Act of Treason, Carroll & Graf, 1991, assembles a day-by-day account of J. Edgar Hoover's correspondence, calls, and memoranda. Hoover was instrumental in preventing the Billy Sol Estes and Bobby Baker scandals from harming LBJ.
John Newman, Oswald and the CIA, Carroll & Graff, 1995, is a 600-page examination of CIA and FBI files on Oswald released by the JFK Records Act of 1992. Gerry Patrick Hemming said Oswald seemed another penetration agent. The record shows Oswald served the interests of both agencies from 1959 through 1963.
Harold Weisberg, Case Open, Carroll & Graf, 1994, deflates Gerald Posner who spent two days with Weisberg's sixty file cabinets of FBI, CIA and Department of Justice files.
Two days for the three hundred thousand plus pages is to be expected from Posner who claimed to have conducted 200 interviews and read and indexed the ten-million-word Warren volumes.
JFK's National Security Action Memorandum 263 of October 1963 called for the removal of U.S. advisors from Vietnam, all 15,000 to be out by the 1964 election.
LBJ's National Security Action Memorandum 273 of November 26, 1963, the first business day after JFK's funeral, reversed that action.
LBJ's NSAM was drafted before JFK's assassination.
It was LBJ who instructed Warren to give the country proof of Oswald's sole responsibility, LBJ who made the FBI the only investigator and source of information for the Commission.
And Hoover who directed the course of the FBI investigation.
While LBJ placed Dulles on the Commission, when JFK had fired Dulles--along with Cabell, brother of the mayor of Dallas where the description of Oswald was provided quickly and anonymously.
Oswald who was drinking a Coke when approached by the Dallas officer and the Depository manager seconds after the assassination.
Oswald of "Maggie's drawers" fame--
Craig Roberts, Kill Zone: A Sniper Looks at Dealey Plaza, Consolidated Press International, 1997 ed., pp. 89-90:
According to my friend, Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, the former senior instructor for the U.S.Marine Corps Sniper Instructor School at Quantico, Virginia, it could not be done as described by the FBI investigators. Gunny Hathcock, now retired [deceased 2003], is the most famous American military sniper in history. In Vietnam he was credited with 93 confirmed kills--and a total of over 300 actual kills counting those unconfirmed. He now conducts police SWAT team sniper schools across the country. When I called him to ask if he had seen the Zaptruder film, he chuckled and cut me off. "Let me tell you what we did at Quantico," he began. "We reconstructed the whole thing: the angle, the range, the moving target, the time limit, the obstacles, everything. I don't know how many times we tried it, but we couldn't duplicate what the Warren Commission said Oswald did. Now if I can't do it, how in the world could a guy who was a non-qual on the rifle range and later only qualified 'marksman' do it?"
LBJ's NSAM was drafted before JFK's assassination.
It seems as though LBJ was a busy fellow prior to Nov 22nd. . .
It was LBJ who instructed Warren to give the country proof of Oswald's sole responsibility, LBJ who made the FBI the only investigator and source of information for the Commission.
. . . and after.
I've always been confused by Earl Warren's conduct in doing LBJ's and Hoover's bidding. We're talking about the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, no less. Do ya think someone had some dirty pictures or something?
