You are suggesting LBJ was a also part of an over-arching conspiracy to kill JFK? What is your evidence?

Of course LBJ benefitted from JFK’s assassination, he was the VP!!

And JFK and LBJ didn’t like each other. So what? A lot of presidents and VP’s throughout history did not have a good relationshiops.

Do Trump and Pence have a good relationship?

Trump and Pence seem to have a good relationship. But if anything happened to Trump, Pence would benefit benefit the most. Would that mean Pence was part of a conspiracy?

[RooRoobird20]

LBJ did not stage a coup, that is pure unsubstantiated paranoid nonsense.

[RooRoobird20]

Anybody can suspect anyone about anything, that’s a far cry from correctly interpreted and corroborated evidence. Sounds to me like Roger Stone is just another tin foil hat.

I’m frankly surprised how much evidence-free paranoia is going on here at FR right now.

[RooRoobird20]

Oliver Stone’s movie was the most ridiculous work of paranoid fiction masquerading as history—ever. Oliver Stone is nuts, and his silly movie has been greatly discredited since it came out.

It’s a great movie for people who like mysteries and thrillers, but Stone’s movie is largely fiction.

So I guess you didn't read the book, or even the reviews at Amazon.

Are you referring to a hollywood movie?

It’s already been 50 years. So far LBJ has been correct.

[RooRoobird20]

What new information—credible verified evidence correctly interpreted by professional forensic experts—does Roger Stone have? What makes him more of an expert than Gerald Posner and Vincent Bugliosi?

[ml/nj]

I read that book carefully and came away completely convinced that it was a random walk through piles of trash, none of which had any real evidentiary value.

So the claims that LBJ hated JFK and vice versa, and the claims that LBJ had inconvenient persons dispatched (sorta like Billy Clinton after him) was just piles of trash to you?

I guess you have to read the book to find out instead of dismissing it out of hand. I have quite a few books about the JFK assassination. This, along with a book about Dorothy Killgallen, are the only ones I've thought useful. I do have Posner's book but all I remember was that it sort of echoed the Warren Commission. (Am I remembering this correctly?)

Posner and Bugliosi reached the same conclusions as the Warren Commission.

There was no sinister overarching conspiracy. There never was and never will be any credible evidence analyzed and corroborated by professional experts proving that Oswald was part of a larger conspiracy. Ditto with Ruby’s role.

Posner genuinelytried to uncover evidence of a large conspiracy, but he never found any. In his book he debunked and disproved every conspiracy wonk claim, and Bugliosi did the same. There was no second shooter, shots from a “grassy knoll”, no magic bullet, no nefarious suspicious behavior by anyone handling JFK’s body, etc. etc.

When Posner first began research for his book, he believed that there was a JFK assassination conspiracy, and the Mafia was behind it. Except there were no facts nor evidence proving this.

Conspiracy buffs have nothing but suspicions, unproven allegations, anecdotal uncorroborated heresay and extremely amateur sleuth skills. They will never let go of this JFK conspiracy nonsense, they are too invested in conclusions they made a long time ago.

[ml/nj]

I guess Posner only had access to the Warren Commission Report. And I guess they didn't think they needed to include this stuff.

If you think the Warren Commission stuff was legit, I suggest you're not playing with a full deck; or you're part of the problem.

Thank G-d for Trump.

ML/NJ So, Roger Stone can write crap too.

When I first saw Dealey Plaza for myself I knew all the conspiracy theories were bunk. I stood on the sidewalk and felt like I could have reached out and touched that window where Oswald fired the rifle. No hidden gunman from a grassy knoll. It was all bunk and only Oswald killed President Kennedy.

Occam's razor; the more assumptions you have to make, the more unlikely an explanation is. If you have to write a whole book about it, you have proven the opposite of your stated case.

[RooRoobird20]

Yes

And a large conspiracy would have required hundreds and hundreds (maybe even thousands) to participate and then keep evrything quiet.

So, Roger Stone can write crap too.

I guess you didn't read the book either. Go look at the review at Amazon.
