1. This possibility has always greatly troubled me.
Do you have a link for the post? Don't see an attribution for the text and drawings. Would like to go there if possible.

3. There is a photo of LBJ winking with a sly smile to some associate
on airforce 1, when they were flying back to D.C. with Kennedy's body. It was taken just after Johnson was sworn in as president.

Also, there is evidence that Bush Sr was a CIA point man involved in organizing the Bay of Pigs fiasco.

11. Even better, an interview with the wife of the winking man. She says JFK
Edited on Fri Mar-04-05 02:55 PM by mordarlar
made the trip to Tx for a dinner for her husb. She says Kennedy called her, soon to retire, husb and agreed to come to a dinner planned by Thomas's "friends". JFK had planned to go to TX at a later time but changed the plans to accommodate this dinner.

The dinner was in Houston and her husband mentioned that he hoped nothing would happen while the president was at the dinner in Houston.

It was after this dinner that JFK went to Dallas.

Dayum i am just finding all this. I have never read any of it on any site. It is from the LBJ library. http://www.lbjlib.utexas.edu/johnson/archives.hom/oralhistory.hom/ThomasL/Thomas-L.PDF

Albert was the one who said the plane could not take off until Johnson was sworn in.

Edited to add...Also in every bio of Albert Thomas mentions his role in getting Kennedy to bring NASA to land donated by Humble oil. Humble was family owned by Farish A long time family friend of the bushs, going back to Prescott. Humble used to be Standard Oil which aided in the construction of the Nazi death camps.

4. The History Channel revealed something like this when they
did weeklong series covering the assasination of Kennedy.
I truly believe this.

9. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Edited on Fri Mar-04-05 01:47 PM by amazona
If Marcello and the mob were involved in the assassination, and they may have been, it was not at LBJ's bidding. It was because of a certain brother of JFK's as Attorney General who was actually getting serious about controlling mob-related crime.

LBJ was from Texas, sure, the oil interests supported him. Doesn't make him a criminal conspirator. I take after-the-fact reminiscences of ex-mistresses for what they are worth, not a heck of a lot.

If the Oliver Stone theory of "let's get more involved in Vietnam" for the profit motive was correct, then why not leave Kennedy in office, as he would have likely also continued down the same track. The evidence that Kennedy could or would withdraw from Vietnam is beyond miniscule to my mind. Sure, there are documents studying every possible position, but Kennedy was not going to back down and give the communists a quick win in Vietnam so soon after the Bay of Pigs debacle.


Ever stop and think if LBJ was so hot to get kickbacks from Kellogg Brown and Root then he wouldn't have refused to run for a second term? I think the facts speak for themselves that, while he made mistakes, he had a conscience.

There was a conspiracy, no doubt about it, Oswald wasn't shot live on TV in a police station without a plan, but I believe a rightwing conspiracy of disgruntled CIA agents who felt abandoned at Bay of Pigs and who knew how to get help from equally disgruntled Mafia members is the place to look for answers.

Johnson had no motive to kill Kennedy when he could have been in place 16 years, 8 as VP, 8 more as president, instead of the way it all worked out.

On Edit--Don't get me wrong, I love "JFK" the movie, it was a great movie, one of the best to be filmed in my area, but it was fiction based on the investigations of a man who was never able to learn all the answers.


The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72
