Sorry to be so short on facts, but a new book ("Blood Money") charges LBJ with ordering the JFK hit.

The author is the former business partner of the man he accuses of setting it up (??? Clark), and claims there is no doubt in his mind as to the truth of the allegation.

Apparently LBJ was about to be indicted on another murder charge, and saw his ascendency to POTUS as his way out.

I don't know for sure if there was a conspiracy to kill Kennedy or not, nor for that matter who (LBJ) was involved or not.

I do know for a fact tho that Lee Harvey Oswald could not do the shooting he has been saddled with.

Exactly.

It's been said that Kennedy's body is NOT in the grave at Arlington. It's been said that a lead coffin with Kennedy's body inside was flown way out in the Atlantic Ocean and dumped. I would have thought if they had really wanted to get rid of his body they would have cremated it.

Johnson did it, via the Cuban mafia, at the behest of the military industrial complex, in league with the ghost of Marilyn Monroe who sought revenge because JFK wanted out of Vietnam, which pissed off Sam Giancana.

....by a young Bill Clinton who was advised by the Space Alien who killed Elvis after the Soviet Sputnik beamed brain waves into his brain.

....with all expenses picked up by Aristotle Onassis, shirt-tail cousin of Jack Ruby, as he secretly coveted JFK's beautiful young wife.

"Git 'er done," as LBJ said to the Mafia/Cubans/Russians/Space Aliens.

Huh! And all this time i thought that Larry the Cable Guy made that line up.

My father always thought LBJ was involved too.

Johnson had JFK Killed

Castro has been saying that for years.

Wow - I had completely forgotten about this thread!

Wonder if anyone here has read both books, and how they compare.

[NEWwoman]

Wow! At least my dad was not alone.

BYW, your screen name - Is it named after the girl mechanic in Firefly?

I thought someone said they would be released 70 years after Jackie's death. I could be wrong and it will not be the first time.

Back in 1967 my Pol Sci teacher brought in a guy who was unnamed who proceeded to tell us of the CIA involvement in JFK's murder; it was quirky and made to seem quite plausible and led to a session-long discussion.

At the time, I simply allowed that LBJ had the most to gain by Kennedy's death at the time but that was still a difficult proposition to support absent some evidence.

On the other hand, my Pol Sci prof was a great guy who held his classes in the cafeteria so us guys could smoke and played poker at my house on weekends.

He was a very smart fellow but a lousy poker player.
