House of Cards

According to the New York Times, the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library, surviving LBJ staff members, and the Johnson family has launched a campaign to improve Johnson’s image as an ex-President. This effort includes batshit crazy first daughter Luci Bird Johnson, who will host a “Civil Rights Conference” at the LBJ Library in April. Ms. Johnson will also headline a Texas Bar Association Meeting in June. LBJ’s greatness has been subsumed by Vietnam, they contend.

Perhaps their timing is also affected by the portrayal of amoral, scheming and intrinsically evil Vice President Frank Underwood on Season Two of Netfix’s House of Cards. Can there be any doubt that Frank Underwood as played by Kevin Spacey is modeled after LBJ?

The folks at the taxpayer-subsided LBJ Presidential Library and the surviving members of the Johnson family must feel besieged from right and left. First came my New York Times bestselling book, The Man Who Killed Kennedy – the Case Against LBJ, in which I established that LBJ was a corrupt psychopath and serial murderer. I also used fingerprint and eyewitness evidence to show how a long-time LBJ hit man shot from the Texas Schoolbook Depository to kill John F. Kennedy. I make a compelling case that LBJ had unique motive, means and opportunity to kill Kennedy and did so to avoid criminal prosecution for corruption at the hand of Attorney General Robert Kennedy the exposure of which was imminent. RFK was within days of destroying LBJ with a LIFE Magazine expose into Johnson’s corruption as well as an RFK-fed Senate Rules Committee investigation into Johnson on the Bobby Baker scandal.
