Jim DiEugenio discusses his book Reclaiming Parkland & the rifle among other things.

I didn't get too far into it yet, but it looks pretty good. Might video segments be added if there are any, and are appropriate?

Nice job.

Here Phil talks about his first book.

LBJ and the Kennedy Killing

by James T. Tague

Bump

Thanks again to Robert. There are some great books in here.

Johnson was big on being secretive, and Dulles was no stranger to that kind of behavior as well. That would be too much exposure. I agree a last minute meeting between the two would be unlikely.

As Brian mentioned, when Dulles visited Dallas to promote his book the last days of Oct. 63, could he have made a side visit with LBJ and not documented it? If so, a few weeks before could qualify as shortly before the assassination rather than the weekend before. ?

Much like David Atlee Phillips founding the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO).

Thanks for letting me know that Brian, its much appreciated. I certainly learned something today.

When i came across this, I found it very plausible and didn't have any reason to doubt it. Thanks for the info, Larry.

I find this very interesting, especially with Dulles not being DCI at the time. LBJ had deep ties into the intelligence, military, and defense communities from his senate days, and would have been close to Dulles. I wonder what they discussed? Hmmmm.

“Dulles joked in private that the JFK conspiracy buffs would have had a field day if they had known….he had actually been in Dallas three weeks before the murder….”

A Certain Arrogance, p. 230

Through my reading and study, I've come to the conclusion that it was LBJ. It wasn't just LBJ alone by himself, but LBJ was the lynchpin at the epicenter of other conspirators(Texas Oil, CIA, industrialists/war profiteers) whom he had deep ties to, and whom had a vested interest in JFK being eliminated. LBJ was going to be personally and politically ruined and go to prison. LBJ had Big Oil and MIC money behind him, as well as the Texas political machine. He had deep relations and contacts throughout congress, the state of Texas, industry and commerce, as well as law enforcement to ensure he got off scot-free. I see the who and the why right there. LBJ had a clear motive and wouldn't have any problems finding willing co-conspirators.

I enjoyed this episode and whole series as well. I read Ultimate Sacrifice earlier this year and liked it. A lot of good info, although I don't believe their Mob did it premise.

Doug,

Any word on this documentary? I've read Roger Stone's The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ, and Nelson's LBJ: The Mastermind of the JFK Assassination, and am interested in seeing the film. Could you link the poster in this thread?

I'm presently in the middle of LBJ: From Mastermind to The Colossus, and am enjoying it. Great book.

According to Roger Stone, who worked with Nixon and knew him well, Nixon thought LBJ killed Kennedy.

Among other revelations, Stone told TheDC that Nixon hired Jack Ruby as a House committee informant at Johnson’s request years prior to the Kennedy assassination, which occurred 50 years ago today.

“Nixon said, ‘The damn thing is, I knew this Jack Ruby. Murray [Chotiner] brought him to me in 1947, said he was one of “Johnson’s boys” and that LBJ wanted us to hire him as an informant to the Committee. We did,'” according to Stone.

“I think Nixon immediately recognized that LBJ was using one his operatives to do ‘clean up’ work on the murder of John Kennedy. Nixon would also say to me ‘Both Johnson and I wanted to be president, but the only difference was I wouldn’t kill for it.’ At other times when I pressed the old man hard on who really killed JFK, Nixon would just shiver and say ‘Texas!’,” Stone said.

“Richard Nixon, Henry Cabot Lodge and Barry Goldwater were convinced that Lyndon Johnson murdered JFK. I mean absolutely convinced.”

I always thought it interesting how the white shirt appears to be simultaneously in front of and behind lovelady/oswald, and how the upper part of the shirt cuts off the bottom left of the jaw, looking obviously pasted in, to me at least.

No, that wasn't my intention. I just found it an excellent summary as well, and believe it spells things out.

Interesting food for thought.

The first two appear reasonably clean and don't look like tramps to me, but the last guy could pass for having slept in a dumpster. I think the lady is just holding her hand in front of her face in a display of shock or being upset.

I don't think it was a real arrest, to warrant a crisis. From Prouty's description it didn't seem as if they were real police, the way they were dressed(one w/ill-fitting uniform, suggesting a costume), distance/casual attitude, carrying the gun wrong. It wouldn't seem like a real arrest to me, suggesting part of the show in Dealey. It still doesn't explain what Lansdale would be doing though.

Thanks for the links, I checked them out. Very informative, as Kathleen was describing. I remember reading descriptions somewhere of a large, upward splatter trajectory, that seemed to hang in the air, suggesting maybe a sewer shot.

Has anyone seen the other film? I heard accounts where some say they've seen the "other" film, and that's it's very gory, but I've not heard a detailed description of what this other film exactly shows. ?

I'm not saying the CIA wrote the book, but they certainly could have influenced it. An Operation Mockingbird type of thing, maybe. Who knows?

Having William Colby writing the forward certainly isn't a good sign.
