Old stuff. The French killer has already been on TV. I am going to read the book, too. But if all it does is re-arrange old facts, I am going to be one mad reader.

In re the KGB "Investigation:" The Lee Harvey Oswald sojourn in the USSR has never been documented thoroughly by them. Hell, we still don't even know if the LHO who went into the USSR is the same guy who came out! They sent a false defector over to claim the KGB had "no interest" in him: a patent lie.

As far as JFK ordering the hit on Diem: "Duh," it's been known for years. Ditto, the JFK-Mafia plan to hit Castro.

If we divide up us conspiracy theorists into teams, we have the "Castro-KGB Connection Team," "The Mafia Team," "The CIA Team," "The Johnson Did It Team." I feel badly because my team, "The Castro-KGB Connection Team" never really gets an adequate hearing and it somehow always felt the most "logical" to me.

I promise to read the book and keep an open mind. That's because one learns something new every day. E.G. The Secret CIA Army in Tibet. If JFK let them wither on the vine, it will add evidence to my overriding theory: that the stolen election of 1960 was a watershed event in the history of the United States, namely the final, hopefully-not-irreversible-but-don't bet-on-it, crooked triumph of hosshite over American logic and common sense. Ted Kennedy's Immigration Reform Act of 1965 certainly fits nicely into this pattern of the Kennedy-driven destruction of the nation.

The one thing that breaks down all of the 'team' conspiracy theories is the complexity that they all require. 'Cuba-KGB", "CIA - Vietnamese - Mob" all require either strange as hell bedfellows or, in Cuba's case, smoking the guy who had just handed over an entire army of dissident ex-Cubans.

Likewise, Johnson was on way too shaky ground within his own party - witness the total destruction of the guy by the demo-left wing that followed.

My own belief is that Bobby "knew who killed JFK" because he was as much in on it as anyone else - the hit, if it was a hit & a conspiracy, came from inside the circle.

And, the popular myth that JFK was ready to pull out of Vietnam is the single most blatant piece of disinformation ever constructed by the left wing. It was necessary so that the break from yesterday's democrat party and the one that came into being could be masked over; again, Johnson was made the goat because he was an outsider. As someone else stated; a watershed in US governance and society.
