LBJ Was The Man Who Killed Kennedy
disinformation ^ | 11/4/2013 | Roger Stone

Posted on 11/05/2013 5:18:16 PM PST by Pontiac

I realize that delving into the world of assassination research and a belief in a conspiracy will lead some to brand me as an extremist or a nut, but the facts I have uncovered are so compelling that I must make the case that Lyndon Baines Johnson had John Fitzgerald Kennedy murdered in Dallas to become president himself and to avert the precipitous political and legal fall that was about to beset him.

Snip

When Lodge was in his eighties, he served vigorously as the chairman of Ronald Reagan’s campaign for President in Connecticut, a post I had recruited him for as the Northeast regional director.

Lodge had done Kennedy’s dirty work coordinating a campaign with the CIA to assassinate Catholic Vietnamese President Diem. I couldn’t resist asking John Lodge about his brother. “Did you ever ask your brother who really killed Kennedy?” I said.

Snip

His lips spread in a tight grin. “Cabot said it was the Agency boys, some Mafiosi,” he looked me in the eye . . . “and Lyndon.”

“Did your brother know in advance?” I asked.

Lodge took a sip of his Manhattan.“He knew Kennedy wouldn’t be around to fire him. LBJ kept him at his post so he could serve his country.”

I think that LBJ was in on it, but I think the Democrat party was also in on it.

I don’t think so.

Why would they take down Kennedy knowing that he would be replaced by LBJ who was in many ways worse?

I was five months past my nineteenth birthday and stationed in Keflavik Iceland as an electronics technician on a US Navy communications station when John Kennedy was shot. On a communications base messages from all over the globe are coming through at all times. I didn’t have access to them, my job was to help keep the equipment, which was very unreliable in that era, working. I had nothing to do with the actual communications but I noticed that from the first there were all kinds of rumors about what had actually happened and one of those rumors was that LBJ was behind it. From the first day there were a lot of people who did not believe the official story.

Total BS. If LBJ as VP nomniee was so power hungry to be president, why didn't he have Kennedy killed during the 1960 election? If he was so power mad, why didn't he kill Walter Cronkite before Cronkite killed his prospects for reelection?

These conspiracy BS theories are just that --- all BS.

One man killed JFK. That was a crazy little Commie loser named Lee Harvey Oswald. Just like a crazy loser named Hinkley almost killed Reagan with the cameras rolling all in full sight. And before that, a couple of other crazies tried to kill Ford out on San Fransisco.

Crazies do crazy things. Sane people can't understand their motives.

There was no conspiracy. Not sexy. No money to be made from that fact. But it is a fact none the less.

There was a thread the other day about this. I have thought that LBJ was behind Kennedy's assignation ever since I read the 3 volume biography of LBJ written by Robert Caro. LBJ was a driven man, he HAD to be president! This was the only way he could get there.

JFK was in Houston before he went to Dallas. My husband had a premonition when he was in Houston that someone was going to kill JFK. He was very anxious for him to get out of Houston before it happened. He would have preferred that he got out of Texas too. My husband doesn't have many premonitions but he was right on target with this one.

This book gets down to Texas power brokers and their front man Lyndon Baines Johnson. A must read “Blood, Money & Power: How L.B.J. Killed J.F.K.”.

Especially since LBJ was responsible for Lithuania bombing Pearl Harbor. He never got over that.

I can’t see who killed JFK, but I might be able to forward a plausible theory about why it was felt necessary to kill him.

JFK was in terrible health, and one of his worst afflictions was Addison’s disease, which today is closely associated with him. With the severity he had it, a major and unique symptom is the appearance of the skin of the upper chest and face. If you are looking for it, you can even see it on him in the pictures and film of the time. At the time, any physician familiar with Addison’s would have known he had it at 50 feet, just by looking at him.

The only effective treatment they had for years for Addison’s was cortisone, which was very expensive and rare. For this reason he had supplies of it and other essential drugs stored in safe deposit boxes around the US.

But then, in the early 1950s, a pharmaceutical company developed a process to make artificial cortisone cheaply. As a very useful drug, it was soon seen as a “miracle drug” and was widely prescribed for many conditions.

However, the false rumor began in the medical community that taking too much cortisone could make a person mentally imbalanced, even clinically paranoid. This became amplified terribly with the release of the James Mason film Bigger Than Life in 1956. Mason did a “chilling” performance of a mild mannered man driven into a homicidal rage by taking cortisone.

So far, just about anyone could piece together that the president had Addison’s disease and was taking cortisone, which could drive him mad.

But then the Cuban Missile Crisis happened. Suddenly the light dawned that the president could become insane, *and* that he had his hand on “the nuclear trigger”.

JFK was asked by many people to step down for health reasons, but he always adamantly refused. So isn’t it reasonable to assume that *someone* decided that he was too dangerous to live?

I’ve heard that theory for decades. I knew some people connected to Billie Sol Estes and supposedly he was in on the plan too.
Didn’t they recently release some tapes of Jackie O’s and she thought LBJ was involved in her husband’s murder?

Yes it is.

I only wish that we still lived in a capitalist country.

I tend to think it was just the nut, Oswald, who got in a lucky shot.

If you ever get to Dallas, go to the 6th floor of that building (now a museum) and look out the window. Oswald wasn't all that lucky.

You wouldn't need to be a highly trained SEAL sniper to make that shot. The average deer hunter (maybe even below average) could have made it. It was only about 60 yards.

I was amazed when I went there. I always envisioned it as some really long range shot. When I was looking out there was a guy standing next to me that said the same thing I was thinking... 'that was really close!"

It was.

Four things
One
I have always thought there is a possibility Jackie Kennedy had her husband whacked. She knew he was a philanderer and was concerned that she’d be put out of the family with none of the family money. What better place, if you are a NE Liberal than a Southern City? She had a whole population of red-neck patsies ready made to blame even if Oswald got a way.

Two
LBJ was scurrilous person but he doesn’t strike me as a politician who’d put a hit out. He would never let a situation get to that point because he’d have the election bought and paid for. If it was Bill Clinton as VP then yeah, LBJ, no I don’t think so.

Three
I do believe that LBJ benefited from a huge sympathy vote in 1964. I think that Goldwater would have done better in the 1964 election against a live JLK rather than a dead, deified one that it was sacrilege to criticize. It took about 45 minutes for the press to deify JFK and to proclaim him as a member of the pantheon that includes Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson.

Four
I am a member of the Lee Harvey Oswald fan club.
