The Man Who Shot Kennedy: The Case Against Lyndon Baines Johnson

The author of this dark chronicle, Roger Stone, is a political strategist who played a key role in the elections of Ronald Regan, Richard Nixon and George HW Bush. He is also known for his personal style writing a column for the Huffington Post and their annual “10 Best and Worst Dressed Men and Women in the World”.

how why

Stone delves into the why and how of the JFK assassination and tears the other conspiracy theories to the bone. The other theories had no motive, but LBJ had the most important motive of all to become president and help his supporters in the Bell helicopter get rich.

present the case

LBJ was not only cowboying his way to the White House, but he was also avoiding up close and personal destruction at the hands of John and Bobby Kennedy. Stone points the finger at LBJ, who scattered another eight murders to cover up his role in leading the sixteenth power in a coup unprecedented in modern times.

Richard Nixon knew

Nixon was absolutely convinced that LBJ was the mastermind behind this bloody episode in American history because he recognized Jack Ruby as LBJ’s hired help who committed another assassination led by Johnson when Oswald was shot.

stone accusations

Roger Stone accuses J. Edgar Hoover, Gerald Ford, Arlen Specter for their roles in the cover-up. He also goes into great detail about why George HW Bush lied about being in the CIA and said he wasn’t in Dallas the day JFK was shocked when the truth is he was.

Many avenues investigated

Roger Stone’s excellent take on LBJ the man, why he was called Landslide Lyndon, and his fixed hatred for Bobby and Jack Kennedy is beyond reproach. He delves into the Kennedy curse, his hated enemy LBJ, J. Edgar Hoover’s role in the sealed cover-up and the road to Watergate, who was involved and why. He even points to the man who shot at point-blank range with an American-made dumb bullet.

conclusion

This detailed book on who knew what, when, the people involved in the bloody coup, and why LBJ had the most to gain if Kennedy was assassinated points the finger at the CIA, the Chicago & Dixie mob, LBJ’s henchmen and J Edgar Hoover. Stone’s big moment weaves a pattern of betrayal and deception among the elite, leading us to realize that the powers that be will do anything to advance their agenda at any cost that the nation be doomed. Stone does a good job of showing who is at the lynchpin of this massive betrayal of presidential trust and what they stand to gain.

I think the cover-up continued all these years because the elite didn’t want the public to know that it was a Democrat who assassinated another Democrat just to further their own agenda. This is sad but very revealing about human nature, why people do what they do to gain fame and power at all costs. Stone lowers the hammer leaving nothing to the imagination. This is a vision of the war mongers that existed then and now in the military industrial complex who will not be happy until the entire world worships at their feet.
