Robert Morrow's Political Reseach Blog on the Kennedy assassination

Robert Morrow Political Research Blog: John Connally grimaces as Lyndon Johnson greets JFK in Dallas at Love Field 11:00-11:15AM

 

 

[Joe Bauer]

Robert Morrow has his own unique way of presenting his JFK/LBJ research knowledge, findings and conclusions that is unorthodox yet, imo, he does know far more than anyone else about LBJ and the rest of the corrupt Texas hierarchy power group which ran and controlled that state for decades.

And his conclusion that they were involved in not only blatant corruption on the highest levels in their own home state of Texas but also probably the assassination of JFK in their most extreme right wing, segregationist, JFK hating city in the nation - Dallas.

These posted testimonies from Robert Morrow's research files of people who heard first hand stated accounts by John Connally and other important players directly contradicting the WC findings and/or revealing information of stunning proportion are to be considered with worthy credibility imo.

R. Morrow is the truth antithesis to the so-called highest authority LBJ historical biographer Robert Caro imo.

Digging much deeper down into the archaeological Texas/LBJ corruption foundation site than Caro ever did, Morrow has uncovered scores of important truth revealing artifacts that Caro missed either professionally or on purpose.

Anyone downplaying Morrow's body of work and findings in this area, and defending Caro's has another agenda besides seeking the full corruption truth regards LBJ and his Texas power brokers brotherhood.

Just one of the most outrageous examples of this corruption is how LBJ got a Texas murder trial judge to dismiss the jury reached "Murder With Malice" conviction of one of LBJ's proteges "Malcolm Wallace" (with a recommendation of the most severe punishments allowed) and to reduce Wallace's sentence to a five year one, suspended immediately!

That one LBJ corruption affair alone ( LBJ's own attorney John Cofer handled Wallace's defense ) is one of the most blatant I have ever heard of.

If the Wallace murder rap beating/walking case doesn't tell you how corruptly powerful LBJ was in those days...what would?

And can you imagine...how much Malcolm Wallace owed LBJ for getting him off scot-free from a trial jury arrived at "Murder With Malice" guilty verdict?

I would think LBJ could ask Wallace to do most anything in return ... with obedient results.

I think Robert Marrow research is a black spot for the research community. He swallows Fletcher Prouty's wingnut nonsense completely. Accordingly, he supports the ludicrous theory that Edward Lansdale was the mastermind behind the assassination. This is just shameful nonsense. Lansdale respected and admired Kennedy, was grief-stricken over JFK's death, and strongly opposed sending large numbers of combat troops to South Vietnam. Most of Lansdale's CIA associates tried to sabotage him at every turn because he did not agree with their methods. 

Prouty's claims about the Vietnam War are just as about as erroneous and bizarre as Holocaust denialism. Incredibly, Prouty blames Lansdale for the massive migration of some 1 million North Vietnamese to South Vietnam in 1954-1955, as if the Hanoi regime's brutality and oppression had little or nothing to do with it. Of course, Prouty omits the fact that the Hanoi regime forcefully prevented 1-2 million other North Vietnamese from leaving the country during that same period. Prouty makes the even more absurd claim that the Vietcong originated from those North Vietnamese immigrants. We know from a variety of sources, including North Vietnamese and Vietcong sources, that about 98% of those immigrants were non-communists, and that about 2/3 of them were Vietnamese Catholics who fled North Vietnam's anti-Catholic persecution.  

Folks, go read Prouty's ARRB interview, if you want to get some idea of what a dubious character Prouty was. The ARRB asked Prouty perfectly valid questions, and, as you can see in the interview, Prouty back-peddled and ducked and dodged all over the place. 

I would not be surprised to learn one day that Prouty was planted in the research community to discredit the conspiracy case as much as possible. Most of the biggest flaws that critics pounced on in Oliver Stone's movie JFK were based on Prouty's erroneous claims.

Lansdale grief stricken over JFK'S murder? 

Sorry, but I don't believe that for one minute.

Didn't JFK prevent Lansdale from being appointed to a position Lansdale seriously wanted?

I've found Robert's JFK/LBJ research very informative and quite illuminating.

Pat Speer quoted here in the Morrow Connally materials, on what points Connally insisted on:

1. Connally's initial belief was that the first two shots--the ones he was later told were fired by Oswald using a bolt-action rifle--were extremely close together--and were fired by an automatic weapon.

Interesting, considering the Z-film suggests that there was enough time to cycle and aim a bolt-action rifle between the two shots Connally describes (the neck wound and the Connally torso hit).

In Prouty's book on the JFK assassination, he clearly seems to imply, or at least indicates an openness to the idea, that the "Churchill gang" killed FDR. 

It's really too bad that Oliver Stone relied on Prouty for information on key issues for his movie JFK. If you look at the issues that critics raised about the movie, you'll notice that many of them are claims that came from Prouty, such as the following:

-- That NSAM 263 meant that JFK was going to abandon South Vietnam by late 1965 (an interpretation that is nowhere supported in the NSAM or in any of its background and associated documents, and an interpretation that was flatly rejected by RFK in April 1964).

--  That Prouty's trip to Antartica was suspicious/sinister and was arranged to get him out of the way for the assassination (he back peddled on this claim in his ARRB interview and admitted the trip was not "unusual" and that it was in fact "routine").

-- That Edward Lansdale engineered the assassination and that he did so because he fiercely disagreed with JFK's Vietnam and defense policy (an utterly ludicrous and demonstrably false claim--Lansdale strongly opposed sending large numbers of combat troops to Vietnam, respected JFK, and was saddened by JFK's death; Lansdale was intensely disliked by most of the senior brass at the Pentagon because he opposed sending combat troops to Vietnam and opposed Lodge's handling of Diem, so any conspiracy that Lansdale would have attempted to organize would have found very few if any senior officers willing to join in the effort).

-- That Prouty called a man whom he knew at the 112th INTC Group (316th INTC Detachment) and that during this call the man told him that the Secret Service had refused the unit's offer to help with presidential security (pressed by the ARRB, Prouty changed his story and said the man called him, although he had no good explanation for why the man would have called him, and then admitted that he didn't know anyone in that unit, that he, Prouty, had nothing to do with presidential protection schedules, and that, contrary to his earlier claims, he did not have the notes that he made during the alleged phone call).

Morrow focuses on LBJ primarily.

A general take is that LBJ was much, much more corrupt and ruthless than our official history books and our mainstream media ever come close to acknowledging.

Murderously corrupt?  Morrow and I totally believe so.

LBJ's closeness to Hoover and the CIA was such that he was the antithesis to JFK in this regards.

Quite the power trio of like minded, agenda minded, JFK threatened minded entities.

Yes, but he also spends considerable time citing and quoting Prouty. 

The fact that most JFK conspiracy theorists have cited and quoted Prouty, and that most continue to do so, is one of the very things that have caused most journalists and historians to reject the case for conspiracy and to embrace the lone-gunman theory. 

Even with all its flaws, I believe Oliver Stone's movie JFK was a vitally important and noble effort. But, the film could have been so much more credible and impactful if it had not repeated Prouty's claims.

[Joe Bauer]

Prouty's extremely high military career positions and assignment duties make his dismissing a tenuous take.

You don't achieve what Prouty achieved in the military without being taken seriously by your superiors throughout your decades long career.

There is so much that Prouty relates that is factually true and important and that only someone of Prouty's high position background and stature could know and verify.

When you are on a first name basis with high rank generals like Victor Krulak and so many others...you know a little more about deep info facts than 99% of others...imo.
