another author claims to know not only who killed Kennedy, but also who ordered the killing. His title says it all: "Blood, Money & Power: How L.B.J. Killed J.F.K." (Hanover House, 480 pages) by Barr McClellan, a former partner in the law firm that represented Lyndon Johnson.
McClellan is making a bid for entry into the circle of conspiracy theorists that advance the so-called "deep politics" model, which blames corruption at the core of virtually all American institutions for misdeeds ranging from the killing in Dallas to Watergate to Iran-Contra. He claims "inside information" that lays bare the JFK plot, spearheaded by the head of his former law firm, long-time Johnson associate Edward Clark.

I was keeping the Secret! Just like I promised!
(Geez! I had a "gut feeling" about it when I hired you! I should have known sooner or later you'd "crack" and spill your guts!)
Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!
George Hebert Walker Bush was installed as Director of the CIA in 1975. He was defeated for the US Senate in 1964 and was elected to the US House of Representatives in 1966.
Prior to that he was in the oil business.
Maybe if we made a giant badger....
Penguins don't come from NEXT DOOR! They come from the Antarctic!

Case Closed : Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK
by GERALD POSNER "President John F. Kennedy had been dead less than an hour..." (more)
From Publishers Weekly
Posner's sound and painstakingly thorough argument that Oswald was the sole culprit of JFK's murder was a PW bestseller.

From Library Journal
The majority of books written on the assassination of John F. Kennedy focus on the various conspiracy theories. This audiobook, based on a critically acclaimed book by a former Wall Street lawyer, uses hard evidence and interviews to show that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and that none of the conspiracy theories hold any weight. Posner reads his own material, and his voice grates on the listener; however, as the story progresses, the listener has no choice but to forget the narrator and become wrapped up in the unfolding details. This recording should find a home in all public libraries where there is an interest in Kennedy and the assassination.

A work of monumental research and overwhelming evidence, Case Closed restores the human drama to one of the watershed events in American history, and in the process answers the nagging riddle of how and why Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK.

I know, alot of people have problems with his death, I don't.
And there is just too much BS about the "single bullet" doing all that damage and look so nice afterwards.
That was a little before my time, but it seems that the person(s) who would have benefited the most from 'eliminating' JFK would be the people to look into.
I was in Dallas and watched the whole thing unfold..Remember that the man who tried to assassinate Reagan had "nothing to gain" politically.
True.
As I said, a little before my time.
Meg,
I'm starting to think you had something to do with the assassination and/or have someone you are trying to protect..............
maybe you are one of those many Johnson family apologists that seem to lurk in the shadows in Texas these days.
i'm an alumni of Southwest Texas State University and wanted LBJ's name taken off of the "LBJ Student Center" on campus and was ridiculed and practically yelled at by some of the "powers that be" down here.
Excellent post.
Be very afraid..I am in on the plot..(I voted for Nixon for cover.)
Um, the conspiracy theory is about George H W Bush, the current President's father. But of course you knew that.
there was another george bush in the cia in the 60's
not ghw bush
