Jackie Onassis believed that Lyndon B Johnson and a cabal of Texas tycoons were involved in the assassination of her husband John F Kennedy, ‘explosive’ recordings are set to reveal.
The secret tapes will show that the former first lady felt that her husband’s successor was at the heart of the plot to murder him.
She became convinced that the then vice president, along with businessmen in the South, had orchestrated the Dallas shooting, with gunman Lee Harvey Oswald – long claimed to have been a lone assassin – merely part of a much larger conspiracy.
Texas-born Mr Johnson, who served as the state’s governor and senator, completed Mr Kennedy’s term and went on to be elected president in his own right.

ReplyDeleteGlaring inaccuracy: LBJ was congressman and senator from Texas, but never governor.
Growing up during the Sixty's and Seventies, my parents always held the belief that LBJ was involved. I still wonder if we will ever know the full truth.
ReplyDeleteClay Shaw a New Orleans businessman was the only person prosecuted for conspiracy in the Kennedy assassination, he was charged by Jim Garrison. During routine questioning by police after his arrest, he confessed to using the alias Clay Bertrand. That confession was thrown out of court due to the fact he had not been read his rights prior to his confession. Many years later the CIA released the fact that at one time Clay Shaw was a CIA operative.
ReplyDeleteclearly you know nothing... it was the mafia who took out the president... remember they are who got im into office in the first place then once he got in him and his brother went after the mafia...
ReplyDeleteBut if you like conspiracy stuff then you would believe LBJ and BUSH who was the head of secret service had their hands in it...
LBJ had to be involved. If not, then he would have chastised the ridiculous Warren Commission for covering up the murder.
ReplyDeleteThey protected him and "H" who was running the CIA at the time.
I think bush did it.
ReplyDelete12:24 most likely the Mafia indeed, JFK betrayed the Mafia and payed the price, it wasn't personal it was strictly business
ReplyDelete12:24 Bush was never head of the secret service, he was head of the CIA, get the connections? Of course the mob would willingly oblige and take him out for the powers that be.
ReplyDeleteIf there weren't elements of our own government involved and was simply a mob hit, they wouldn't still be holding 10's of 1000's of documents as classified.

ReplyDeleteThe Mob became the government.
First, they had to murder a President.
Now they have everything they wanted.
I was shooting a rifle the other day and hit a pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteOnce the bullet hit the pumpkin, the pumpkin came flying towards me!
If you shoot an object with a projectile, the object, when struck by the projectile will come towards you.
Right?
The impact of the projectile forces the object to continue in the same direction as the . . .
Oh wait a minute.
Now I get it. And I've wandered all this time what the fuss was about.
Lone gunman. Everything is not a conspiracy.
ReplyDeleteThe Kennedy's were going to blow the lid off the Communist involvement in American government and they got shut down.
ReplyDeleteWhen will these tapes really ever become available and will the story be ever told, it was 1963 will we ever be told the real truth no matter whom it points to?
ReplyDelete7:33 - I think some judge sealed the most sensitive assassination records for 75 years. How convenient. Everyone involved will be dead by then. I'll be 86 then. We can only hope someone will open those files. Clinton was our only chance but for some reason, he wasn't interested.
