I have believed it was LBJ since the 1970s.

I saw a documentary which quoted LBJ's mistress (at the time) who stated that he told her--two weeks before the assassination--"Those Kennedies will never s**t on me again," or words to that effect.

Boris, I'm old enough to remember the Kennedy assassination. I was convinced right from the beginnning that LBJ was involved in it.

He had been chosen by JFK as his Vice-President because of his power in the Senate (where he had held sway as Majority Leader). I think JFK oiled him up and convinced him he'd be even more powerful as VP. Once JFK was in the WH, however, LBJ realized that he'd been used. LBJ was a vengeful man who had come up in the rough and tumble Texas politics of the late 40's and 50's.

I don't know if we'll ever know the truth in our lifetime, but future generations will know the truth.

Johnson said shortly after he was sworn in, "years from now everyone will say I had Kennedy killed so I could be president." Or words very close to this. It's in one of the old documentry films.

My mother has always believed that LBJ was the one. I've always thought it was old Joe Kennedy's "friends" in the mob, sending a message to Bobby Kennedy to back off on his efforts to shut them down.

I remember reading that. Also, he just happened to have a copy of the swearing-in ceremony in his coat when the judge came to the airport to do the honors.
