Yup. Sad. I do not like Oliver Stone but the info in the movie about the odd things and hobos and witeness harassed were mentioned in the film.
I still wonder who it was. The end result after that is the Vietnam War made a lot of contractors and people in Texas wealthy. Texas had a lot of defense firms. No one got richer than LBJ. He was the second wealthiest after GEo Washington. Washington inflation adjusted was a billionaire due to land holdings.
LBJ was a major shareholder in Brown and Root which became part of Halliburton. B&R did tons of work in SE Asia. Johnson fence company had the contract for all fences in SE Asia.
The Mafia was also pissed off cause the Kennedy’s double crossed them and Bobby was harassing them. Sinatra raged at JFK ending their relationship after they one. Castro or Cuban anti communist. I had read the sharp shooters were French. Why French? LBJ promise to bail our France in IndoChina. Wasn’t Vietnam largely about rubber plantations?
The three tramps (”sharpshooters”) were part of the mafia in France from the Port of Marseille. They were “imported” so as to have records that were non-existant in North America. They split up to three separate continents after the assassination.
My husband felt that in addition to actual players from the French mafia, they were also connections in the Kennedy Assassination to the CIA, VP Johnson, and Castro. It is likely no coincidence that George Bush Sr. (also from Texas like Johnson) who at one point headed up the CIA and Ford who headed up the Warren Commission both eventually became President. My husband thought it more than a coincidence that VP Johnson threw a party for the President’s advance team of secret service agents with lots of free liquor the night before the President’s arrival in Dallas. Also, the dallas police were almost all at the Convention center (where Kennedy was headed) instead of being all along the route in Dallas. Also, the route chosen for the President’s limo was allowed to go through Dealy Plaza even though it had to slow down more than is ever allowed by the secret service, something the Dallas police insisted on.
I think the assassination was a done deal when John Kennedy’s father, Joseph P. Kennedy, arranged to purchase the election for his son in Chicago with Mayor Dailey, Sr.’s help (dead people voting multiple times in Chicago). Kennedy took the election with a very narrow margin over Johnson and then (in my opinion) shamed Johnson by offering him the VP position, knowing he really couldn’t refuse. Tha put a very pissed off LBJ within a heartbeat of the Presidency that was actually rightfully HIS.
