Ex-Official Says He Stole 1948 Election for Johnson (1977 article)
New York Times ^ | July 31 1977 | New York Times

ALICE, Tex., July 30—A former Texas ivoting official, seeking “peace of mind,” says he certified enough fictitious ballots to steal an election 29 years ago and launch Lyndon Johnson on the path that led to the Presidency.

The disclosure was made by Luis Salas, who was the election judge for Jim Wells County's Box 13, which produced just enough votes in the 1948 Texas Democratic primary runoff to give Mr. Johnson the party's nomination for the United States Senate, dun tantamount to elec ion.

“Johnson did not win that election—it was stolen for him and I know exactly how it was done,” said Mr. Salas, now a lean, white‐haired 76‐year‐old.

The election has been a subject of controversy and conjecture for nearly three decades, since Justice Hugo Black of the United States Supreme Court abruptly halted an investigation, but the principals have been silent.

If you look into LBJ and Root & Brown construction contracts during and after WW2, you will find some very interesting conflicts of interest and covert money political laundering.

That why the 1947 investigation of LBJ was stopped, at least in part.

I think our Founding Fathers would be on the side of Trump and demanding we fight to stop what is a Communist revolution (ironically by and for the elites - who are fine with their own riches and privileges, so long as the rest of us live in poverty and misery - especially for having supported Trump).

If Nixon had been in the WH, the Russians would never have dared to put missiles in Cuba. And there likely would have been no Vietnam War.

There is a really good video of a long Nixon Q&A with students at Oxford, England.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gl84ilI8Do

It is quite awhile after he resigned. Unbelievable his ability and humor.

He said that it was very important for other leaders to know other leaders. I think Trump has done that well, meeting with many of them - our enemies.

Nixon talks about how the Soviets were thinking of going into the Middle East around Israel.

Nixon spoke with the Soviet leader quite a bit before that time - they knew each other.

The Soviets told Nixon that when they sent troops to the ME that Nixon would need to send troops. Nixon talks about how that would have been really difficult, and some small incident would escalate into something big with the troops so close to each other.

So he told the Soviets something like - “If you send in troops - we won't. We don't need troops to wipe you out.”

“So - they didn't send troops. They knew me. They knew that I wasn't bluffing. So that is why I think it is important that a President has good communications with other leaders. And especially our enemies.” (My recollection after 2 years since I last watched it!)

Mr Salas, please turn yourself into the nearest prison and stay there for the rest of your life …

He's close to 140 years old :)

Now just a cotton minit here. Let’s be fair. Kennedy was one handsome SOB with a hot wife and a real good speech writer, and he was shot by the CIA! Not by John Brennan, mind you, who changed the CIA into the paragon of virtue that it is today. He was shot by the old, mean, right-wing CIA. So therefore John F. Kennedy and his brothers, when they weren’t boinking Marilyn Monroe, were the good guys, and it was a good thing that they stole the election. And Joe Biden is also a good guy, and it’s a good thing that he stole the election, even though he has yet to close the deal. He even has his own acronym: JRBJ for Joe Robinette Biden Jr. JRBJ, the next JFK. He’ll tear down that wall.

Junior BJ and Large BJ. How does one rate BJ’s? Is it junior or large based on the amount of cum, the length of time it takes to cum, or whether or not there’s humming?
