There is not anyone on this planet that
hates LBJ as much, or more, than I do. He smeared Barry Goldwater with the "War Monger" brush in '64, then went on to wage a war to prevent loosing the 1968 election. He drafted me on the 18th. of April, 1967. By what little wit I possessed as a teenager and the warnings of my family members that had already been in Vietnam, I survived. Some of my classmates did not. Some did not prosper when they returned home. And it was all for LBJ and his second term as president. Nothing more. Nothing "Internationally Profound". Nothing that is "Big Picture" in any way.
That being said, I hope it can, someday, be proven the Lyndon Johnson killed John Kennedy. It hasn't yet. Until then, the only crime I know LBJ was guilty of was being one of the worst presidents we have ever had and one of the worst men, along with Clinton, that has ever been president.
How long will it be before the government makes the documents related to the Kennedy assassination unclassified?
There is an interesting book out about LBJ titled "Power Beyond Reason" and it is a recent book that makes some wild claims about LBJ. In brief the book chronicles the fact that LBJ was a manic-depressive and pretty much out of his mind. As for myself, perhaps I should read both books and perhaps a third, LBJ Means of Ascent before I am persuaded either way. The thing that makes me pause on this is that RFK was the Attorney General when this happened with all the information at his disposal. My question is could'nt he have made a case against LBJ and pursued it?
