I’m with Jackie on this one.
“Executive Action” 1971
Do you see that the Kennedys, along with the Eastern Establishment News Media, have always blamed “Texas” because it happened in the state?
Do you see that it wasn’t just one man she blamed, but a “cabal of Texas businessmen”?
According to the story.
To this day there is still a stigma attached to Texas, and also to Dallas.
I don’t appreciate it.
Their views are not rational. They are based on an emotional need to blame someone other than the Communist nutjob who killed JFK.
So let’s blame “Texas” and “Texans”.
I hold no brief for LBJ...couldn’t stand the guy.
But you have to see this is a smear that is much bigger than against a single individual.
I agree. I also suspect LBJ was behind the MLK assassination. Remember, by the time he was assassinated MLKK had become a giant embarrassment and pain in the behind for LBJ. Bumping him off would get him out o the way before news of bias “vigorous sex life” got out to damage LBJ, the civil rights movement, and the DemonRat party. Also the martyrdom could be used to pass the Great Society. IOW he was a far better dead martyr than live cvil rights leader. Then look at James Earl Ray, a petty criminal with no real reason to want to be the subject of a massive man hunt who did an international flight that could only have been set up by somebody else.
Like this is something new. This was the belief among my teenage friends on the day Kennedy was shot. It was pretty common knowledge even then that LBJ was a $h!tbag and not above having his adversaries removed; permanently.
