interestingly over a third of americans believe lyndon johnson was the mastermind my guess professor jim thoughts are a noted expert on the kennedy assassination asserts only lyndon johnson couldn't manage both plot and the coverup no one benefited more johnson was facing disgrace in prison in the bobby baker affair first or fetzer contends lyndon johnson took out a president to become president and thereby avoid disgrace  kennedy it's my position that the assassination would not have all curd at not lyndon johnson in the vice president of the united states and that he was the key player who was the gunman on november twenty second nineteen sixty three and duly plaza and i castro cubans and local law enforcement took them out where there appeared a been shooters that at least six different locations where the f b i was used to cover it up lyndon johnson and j edgar were principals with financing from texas oilmen was johnson to rinsed enough to really open president of united states to soon to presidency himself first of all anyone who understands l b j is history and upbringing realizes that he was an extraordinary person who was a grassy and ruthless narcissistic incredibly ambitious fixated on becoming president of the united states almost one might say from birth there's a brilliant book about lyndon i recommend to everyone in titled l b j mastermind of j f k s assassination by phil nelson and if you go to the world of third world traveler online film nelson l you get a whole host of extracts from that book which support the very role that i am insisting is correct including for example already on page forty seven the single most important thing lyndon learned in college was how to control powerful men who were flattered by his exceedingly deferential psycho fantic treatment of them he became more and more adept in his skills in the manipulation of people which were the most essential defining points of his personality throughout his life so number one if you understand linden's background and upbringing as phil nelson has explained and where you can find extract always planning one two three four moves ahead order to advance his ambition to become president of the united states he forced himself onto the ticket in los angeles in  would never surrender his powerful position as senate majority leader to his astonishment lyndon leaped on it and when bobby tried to wiggle out lyndon explained that using information provided to him by hoover he would expose that jacket had a dalliance with a beautiful woman or tuned out to be an east german spy that he would also reveal that j f k suffered from madison's disease and was not expected to live a long healthy life and third that if he were not on the ticket then he'd guarantee that any legislative proposals that were sent down from the white house would be dead on arrival or he would block them as majority leader  lyndon johnson one of the vice president he was kind of the senate majority leader in the senate he had real power what up with him wanting to be vice president he was a gambling man that he had studied american history and discovered that one fourth of american presidents had not survived their term and that it was the only way he thought he'd make it to the white house but lyndon johnson was anything but a gambling man he only bet on sure things the middle and duncan brown comes up that's johnson's long time mistress and i think she wrote a book and spilled the beans on invited to a social event at the call home of clip marcus and seen here the evening of the twenty first of november one nine hundred sixty three she had been to many social events with lyndon because of their relationship among those who were there were j edgar hoover who frequently stopped in dallas on his way to the del mar racetrack with his close personal friend clyde tolson where when edgar would didn't variably when it just happened that the del mar track was owned by clint murchison he spent a lot of time in dallas madeline thought perhaps this affair was in on or of him richard nixon was there she recalled that very clearly he was driven out by a local republican leader who worked in the same bank building where madeline had her own office also there was george brown brown and root heavy construction and now a part of or has been a part of halibut nor brown root kellogg which when the vietnam war went down was given a billion dollars to dredge a new port and com run bay where vietnam has many magnificent natural ports and i'm quite sure one was not necessary john j mccloy was there a former high commissioner to germany who'd also served as chief executive officer chase manhattan bank h l hunt who described himself as the richest man in the world and who was nominally in business competition with clint murchison he was also there and when lyndon showed up unexpectedly war officially unexpectedly late in the evening these heavy hitters disappeared into a boardroom and after a fifteen or twenty minutes when they broke up lyndon strode over toward madeline and she expected him to whisper sweet nothings in her ear but instead he told her in a hateful tone of voice that after tomorrow he wasn't going to have to put up with embarrassment from those kennedy boys any longer perhaps even revealing in relation to what madeline has to tell us and she's published a book about this and titled texas in the morning a title she adopted because after they'd have a ron david with a hotel linen with throw up the windows in the morning in belo out caught i love texas in the board and in her book she describes a rendezvous they had at the driscoll hotel on new year's eve about six weeks after the assassination during which she confronted lyndon with the rumors rampant in dallas at the time that he had been involved since no one stood to gain more personally lyndon blew up after her and told her the connally's closest associates was billy saw last as it was a con man who made piles of money for them by different kinds of scams billy saul knew a lot of the players up close and personal including cliff carter was l b j s chief executive assistant and malcolm machall wallace who was lyndon's personal hitman and who killed at least a dozen people for a living and including one of his own sisters billy all told william are a mole on a french investigative reporter how lyndon had sent cliff carter down to dallas to make sure all the arrangements were in place for the assassination and he later reported the same carter before and after the assassination and was convinced that they had both played important roles and indeed i'm convinced he is correct and that mack wallace was one of the shooters in dealey explains how clark assisted l b j in planning the assassination and i suspect the cover up which was given at least as much attention as the actual killing itself in  or conceal the identity of those who had come to gather to bring this event about i mentioned in addition the wonderful book by james a douglas outside the government including the c i a which he was threatening to shatter into a thousand pieces the that actually already directed that the pentagon should assume supervisory control of any paramilitary operations being conducted by the agency which the cia didn't like and the pentagon didn't like either but he was going to bring it to knuckle at under after having been betrayed by a bait and switch during the bay of pigs how the military were disenchanted with j f k because he had not invaded cuba against their unanimous recommendation how he had signed an above ground test ban treaty with the soviet union against their unanimous opposition and how now he was pulling our forces out of vietnam where they believed that a stand had to be taken against the expansion of international god ess communists mafia of course was very upset with j f k because bobby had been cracking down on organized home crime for the first time in its history bringing them a massive number of indictments and convictions the the federal reserve they said on them united states note rather than federal reserve note and i recall as a young marine corps officer holding one of these notes in my hand and being struck by the differences in its appearance because j f k thought it was absurd that the united states should be paying a private consortium of banks for interest for printing the currency of the united states many southerners when george wallace tried to stop and he federalize the state's national guard and the sentiment against j f k was especially intense in dallas where the texas oil men were apoplectic that he was threatening to cut the oil depletion allowance which they regarded as a can through their own divine right recluse through a smoking gun is there some role for me howard hunt who was one of the highest ranking members of the agency and who explained in his last confessions to his son st john which was published in rolling stone that the chain of command for the assassination have been from lyndon johnson to david atlee phillips to cord meyer who was in charge of covert ops for the cia then to david atlee phillips who was in charge of the cia for the western hemisphere then to william harvey and to david sanchez morales where are our research suggests that in fact general edward lansdale air force general actually organized the execution of john f kennedy it happened but still it's still how it happened seems like somebody only from the inside could have pulled off what we have to consider a coup for the assassination would have brought together a combination of the cia and the military with the secret service the mafia and l b j this was in his assessment in his brilliant book bloody treason the most perfect combination where you offer different scenarios as to how it could have come to gather all the mafia had to do was get the cia involved and have the cia recruit the secret service and l b j and it would have a perfect conspiracy l b j had to do was recruit the c i a would use the mafia as needed in the secret service and he had a perfect conspiracy hoover would fall in line after the fact when confronted by l b j and the mafia with the blackmail material they had on him in this scenario the right wing extremists if involved at all would provide the money and i believe that know has it exactly right leverage on who the the secret service set him up for the hit and where not only did they not cover the open windows not only did the not well the manhole covers but they put all the vehicles in the wrong order with the presidential limousine out front when it should have been in the middle of the flatbed truck that should have preceded the president for reporters and photographers to ride was cancelled one hundred twelve military intelligence unit was ordered to stand down against the adam ant opposition of his commanding officer the motorcycle escort was cut down to four and instructed not to ride ahead of the rear wheels which one of the officers observed was a damnedest formation he had ever seen the vehicles were different makes and models all bet there is not another presidential motorcade that isn't uniformly black cadillacs but these were all different colors different makes of the conspirators were know exactly who was where jackie of course as yourself observed was given a huge  elsewhere in texas she had been given a huge bouquets of yellow roses evidently so that the shooters would know red means stop jackie was not to be harmed i've already described greer polling the limousine to the left and to a halt to make sure j would be killed after they got to parkland hospital one of the agents took a bucket and spawns and started washing the blood and brains out of the limousine the limousine was sent back to ford motor company on monday the twenty fifth the day of the formal state funeral and completely taken apart and rebuilt depriving it of any forensic significance a decision that required the authorization at the highest level of the government either the president or the director of the out yeah i then selves and of course the whole was brought into the morgue and was already undergoing autopsy when the grain a v m violence with a ceremonial bronze casket accompanied by jackie kennedy pulled up to the front of the bethesda naval hospital which led jerrol custer who was in route up stairs in the company of secret service agents with autopsy x rays that have been exposed in order for them to develop be developed was simply astonished all these events i'm describing including the alteration fabrication of the zapruder film which took place at hawkeye works a secret cia lab adjacent to kodak headquarters in washington d c would be kept by lyndon b in the position to control the course of events to appoint the members of the warren commission to cover it up and to guarantee that no one would ever be prosecuted for the assassination of j f k those are the basic elements of my case there's a new movie  parkland does it have any relevance to what we're discussing kennedy assassination perhaps johnson's coconspirator ship ark land which is about you know the treatment of j f k apartment hospital what's what's terribly interesting about parkland and the big picture of j f k is that at parkland hospital the physicians all witnessed a fist sized blowout at the back of his head a fist size of double up your fist but at the back of your head in and you'll get the idea of the kind of wound they witnessed it was also witnessed by clint hill when he lay across the bodies of jackie and jack after getting up on the back of the limousine and pushing jackie back down in the seat when she'd primed out on the trunk going after a big chunk of jack and jack skull and brains so he saw that massive blow out he knew it was fatal he gave everyone the thumbs down this is all before the limousine reached the triple underpass so that what clint hill has to say about it is very important corroboration of the faking of the zapruder film where they had to exclude the limousine stop it was such an obvious indication of secret service complicity i want to clarify that the the techniques of optical pretty and special effects you can combine any foreground with any background and the motionless spectators when you see in the early scenes of those approved or as it exists now are absolutely non responsive they're not waving and cheering as are all the bystanders everywhere else in dallas as the motorcade proceeds to the city they are standing there as though there was nothing more interesting in front of them than the lead car which appears to be exactly the case it appears that footage came from earlier footage that was shot when j f k and jackie were not present sure the names of small authors and perhaps have been under appreciated that have done some of the standard work only assess the nation of john f kennedy if you want to example from the search for a lee harvey oswald because it's the best i have yet found talks about how the four rounds initially found at the scene were ejected from one or more automatics that there were two different manufacturer western  n rand that the initial officer on the scene the officer first on the scene initialed them that later on there was a substitution in the cartridges and there you had they were from a revolver or three of one make one of the other they have no initials how lee oswald and therefore it did not automatically eject the shell casings and that it would have been absurd for him to shoot a police officer three times in the torso and then once in the right temple when he was lying on the ground and then take open the chamber and remove the the incriminating shell cartridges that's absurd but that's what the government have you believe quilla clemens sitting across the street observe the whole shooting said two minutes shot tippit and neither of them look like lee oswald so i don't fault robert groden for much of his work but in to several important issues including the alteration of the zapruder film he persists in maintaining its on that ink with it's clearly not which we've demonstrated in multiple ways but do you recommend for viewers if they want to follow the assassination  quick take to get up to speed about some of the most important recent research on j f k take a look at my article the j f k war the challenge the case of robert groden on veterans today i have no doubt you are going to learn from that article because i lay out very important proofs of alteration and just i conclude the final point i was making yeah this facade is whole at parkland hospital but it but it becomes  if you judge from the descriptions of the wound in the autopsy report which i published in assassination science it's an enormous i compare the relationship of the two where the fist sized hole is the heel of a footprint is that much and large it's an enormous difference and then astoundingly when the h s c reinvestigated the case they contract it back into a very small wound right at the top of the head four inches higher than the physicians had originally located and studying indications that there
