Okay... back to more facts... Below is a viewpoint I picked out of a website dedicated to JFK Sr's assassination. submitted by () on Friday, March 19, 1999 at 13:56:07 ----------------------- name: Larry city: Medford state: OR country: USA gender: M age: 57 my theory: The first question posed by an investigating officer at the scene of a homicide is: Who had the most to gain from this person's death? 1. Lyndon Banes Johnson became President of the United States, moments after Kennedy's death. The most powerful position in world politics. 2. Lyndon B. Johnson ran against John Kennedy in the Democratic primary and was defeated by Kennedy's nomination. 3. LBJ bore a strong hatred and resentment for both John and Robert Kennedy, due to their sophisticated newcomer (to the national political scene)attitudes. 4. Kennedy was Catholic. No Catholic had ever been elected to the Presidency due to the fear that the Vatican would orchestrate his politics. Johnson was a Southern Baptist, and anti-Catholic. 5. It was extremely humiliating to be offered the second slot on the 1960 presidential ticket, when he felt he was the best qualified person, but he accepted, believing that Kennedy would fall flat on his face. But he didn't. Although he was barely elected by the popular vote, he was elected, and the people liked his youthful approach to governing the masses. They identified with his fresh ideas. 6. The Kennedy's were infamous for humiliating Johnson in briefings and paying no attention to his suggestions or recommendations. This further intensified the hatred. 7. LBJ (after 25+ years service in the Federal government), had many close friends and allies. Additionally, he had powerful friends in the private sector. Friends who owed him for past political favors. 8. LBJ disagreed with Kennedy on the limited incursion, in Vietnam, and his soft-pedal approach to the Cuban missile crisis. 9. LBJ was "Iced-out" of the political scene by John Kennedy. He played virtually no role in the politics of the nation anymore. 10. LBJ offerred to allow Governor John Connelly, of Texas to ride in the presidential limo on the morning of November 22, 1963, the day of the assassination. A good day to be riding in the trailing limo, don't you think? 11. Why were the archives locked away for 60 years? The President, during the Warren Commission investigation, was Lyndon Banes Johnson! Remember, he had many powerful and influential friends on the hill at that time. Friends who could control release or sequester of all the evidence surrounding the assassination. If you were the homicide investigator on the murder scene and knew all these facts, who would be your first suspect? Food for thought...... [End] Well, as I put it, I think that narrowing the masterminding of the JFK assassination to LBJ is preposterous, yet the above viewpoint is interesting in that it shows us again that JFK was kind of a religious outsider in an overwhelmingly Protestant bourgeoisie.... Besides, here's a report on the Catholic/Vietnam gearing: The Two Catholic Presidents and a Revolutionary Pope The role played by Cardinal Spellman in the consolidation of the Vatican-U.S. partnership should not be underestimated. Without his acting as the privileged ambassador of the Dulles brothers to the Pope, and visa-versa, the special relationship of the U.S. with the Vatican would never have developed. Thanks to Spellman, Dulles was able to forge a semi-secretive link with the Vatican and bypass the official vigilance of the State Department including his statutory reporting to the President and his advisors.
