Distortions live on in film By Jack Valenti
Recently, the History Channel ran a ``documentary´´ wherein the author of a book from which the film was taken says without ambiguity that Lyndon Johnson killed President Kennedy ! ---
-- Snip --
--- No matter what historians report about this ``documentary,´´ it will keep reappearing on screen somewhere as ``the truth.´´ Evidence of how baseless its accusations are will not be known to a new generation of viewers. They will see it and say, ``Is that the way it really was?´
(Excerpt) Read more at mercurynews.com ...
Within a day of seeing ``JFK,´´ -- I said, ``Does any sane human truly believe that President Johnson, the Warren Commission, the CIA, the FBI, the Secret Service, local law enforcement officers, assorted thugs, weirdos, all conspired together as plotters in Stone´s wacky sightings?´´
-- No Jack, no one truly believes Stones movie was the gospel truth..
But many truly believe that President Johnson, the Warren Commission, the CIA, the FBI, the Secret Service, and some local law enforcement officers did a terrible job in establishing the facts of exactly what happened that day in Dallas.
Their distortions, and yours, -- live on in infamy

I present the following:
#1 - The accout of Madeleine Brown:
On Thursday night, Nov. 21, 1963, the last evening prior to Camelot's demise, I attended a social at Clint Murchison's home. It was my understanding that the event was scheduled as a tribute honoring his long time friend, J. Edgar Hoover (whom Murchison had first met decades earlier through President William Howard Taft), and his companion, Clyde Tolson. Val Imm, the society editor for the now-defunct Dallas Times Herald, unwittingly documented one of the most significant gatherings in American history. The impressive guest list included John McCloy, Richard Nixon, George Brown, R. L. Thornton, H. L. Hunt and a host of others from the 8F group. The jovial party was just breaking up when Lyndon made an unscheduled visit. I was the most surprised by his appearance since Jesse had not mentioned anything about Lyndon's coming to Clint's. With Lyndon's hectic schedule, I never dreamed he could attend the big party. After all, he had arrived in Dallas on Tuesday to attend the Pepsi-Cola convention. Tension filled the room upon his arrival. The group immediately went behind closed doors. A short time later Lyndon, anxious and red-faced, re-appeared. I knew how secretly Lyndon operated. Therefore I said nothing... not even that I was happy to see him. Squeezing my hand so hard, it felt crushed from the pressure, he spoke with a grating whisper, a quiet growl, into my ear, not a love message, but one I'll always remember: "After tomorrow those goddamn Kennedys will never embarrass me again - that's no threat - that's a promise."
The next morning (November 22, 1963) Madeleine tells of another brief discussion that she had with Lyndon:
I had barely eked out the words, "About last night..." when his rage virtually went ballistic. His snarling voice jolted me as never before - "That son-of- a-b---- crazy Yarborough and that g- - - - - - f - - - ing Irish mafia bastard Kennedy will never embarrass me again!"
Madeleine has stuck by her story for many years and continues to this day to say that Lyndon Johnson knew what was coming and when.
#2 - The account of Billie Sol Estes: (through his attorney)
August 9, 1984
Mr. Stephen S. Trott
Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division
U.S. Department of Justice
Washington, D. C. 20530
RE: Mr. Billie Sol Estes
Dear Mr. Trott:
My client, Mr. Estes, has authorized me to make this reply to your letter of May 29, 1984.
Mr. Estes was a member of a four-member group, headed by Lyndon Johnson, which committed criminal acts in Texas in the 1960's. The other two, besides Mr. Estes and LBJ, were Cliff Carter and Mac Wallace. Mr. Estes is willing to disclose his knowledge concerning the following criminal offenses:
I. Murders
1. The killing of Henry Marshall
2. The killing of George Krutilek
3. The killing of Ike Rogers and his secretary
4. The killing of Harold Orr
5. The killing of Coleman Wade
6. The killing of Josefa Johnson
7. The killing of John Kinser
8. The killing of President J. F. Kennedy.
Mr. Estes is willing to testify that LBJ ordered these killings, and that he transmitted his orders through Cliff Carter to Mac Wallace, who executed the murders. In the cases of murders nos. 1-7, Mr. Estes' knowledge of the precise details concerning the way the murders were executed stems from conversations he had shortly after each event with Cliff Carter and Mac Wallace.
In addition, a short time after Mr. Estes was released from prison in 1971, he met with Cliff Carter and they reminisced about what had occurred in the past, including the murders. During their conversation, Carter orally compiled a list of 17 murders which had been committed, some of which Mr. Estes was unfamiliar. A living witness was present at that meeting and should be willing to testify about it. He is Kyle Brown, recently of Houston and now living in Brady, Texas.
The account of Loy Factor:
Loy reached for the photographs and began studying them, slowly, one by one. After a full forty seconds, Mark broke the silence -
"Do you know who that is Loy?"
"Yeah..."
"Who is it?"
"It's Wallace."
"You're sure?"
"I'm sure."
"This is the man that you first met at the funeral of Sam Rayburn," I stated.
"That's him."
"The same man who later hired you to assist in President Kennedy's assassination."
"That's right."
Loy's face expressed volumes. There was no doubt in our minds at all - he recognized the photographs as the man known to him only as "Wallace".
I have three witnesses.......two of which are still living.
Glen Sample - Co-author: "The Men On The Sixth Floor."
It wasoriginally decided that Marshall had committed suicide by shooting himself in the head five times with a bolt action rifle.
Anyone who blathers hysterical nonsense about violent, secret conspiratorial organizations being a threat to American democracy is a certified kook and should be locked up in an insane asylum.
Yours truly,
L. K. Dah
True. Nevertheless, Americans love a conspiracy!
