Complicity of Lyndon Johnson

Conclusions of Soviet KGB

I discovered an amazing document while I was writing this book. Get a load of this:

By September 16, 1965, the Soviet KGB had concluded that Lyndon Johnson was responsible for the JFK assassination.⁶²⁵

Stop for a minute and imagine the gravity of that! I already told you about how slick the Russian KGB were. They had figured out—in 1963—that Oswald was part of a plot to kill President Kennedy. And since Kennedy as President was their best option at that time, they acted on that intelligence to try and “eliminate” the Oswald threat and save President Kennedy, even if that meant having Oswald killed.⁶²⁶

Their conclusions, therefore, are very important. In a sense, it seems they knew what was going on better than our U.S. intelligence agencies did!

So I found this document from U.S. intelligence which wasn’t even released until the 1990s; it was buried in millions of documents—literally millions of pages that researchers studied for years. And buried in all those documents was one that contained a real gem; a true game-changer. At first, it was apparently just passed over as “foreign intelligence” matters. But JFK researcher Robert Morrow has been attempting to bring the deeper meaning of that intelligence into the light of day where it belongs. This is a verbatim excerpt from the FBI memo:

Our source added that in the instructions from Moscow, it was indicated that ‘now’ the KGB was in possession of data purporting to indicate President Johnson was responsible for the assassination of the late President John F. Kennedy.⁶²⁷

The above intelligence was in a high-level FBI internal memorandum—entitled “REACTION OF SOVIET AND COMMUNIST PARTY OFFICIALS TO THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY”—and also states the following:

On September 16, 1965, this same source reported that the KGB Residency in New York City received instructions approximately September 16, 1965, from KGB headquarters in Moscow to develop all possible information concerning President Lyndon B. Johnson’s character, background, personal friends, family, and from which quarters he derives his support in his position as President of the United States.⁶²⁸

Another statement in that FBI document revealed the broader conclusions of Soviet leadership:

According to our source, officials of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union believed there was some well-organized conspiracy on the part of the ‘ultraright’ in the United States to effect a ‘coup.’ They seemed convinced that the assassination was not the deed of one man, but that it rose out of a carefully planned campaign in which several people played a part. They felt those elements interested in utilizing the assassination and playing on anticommunist sentiments in the United States would then utilize this act to stop negotiations with the Soviet Union, attack Cuba and thereafter spread the war.⁶²⁹

Like I said, the Russians were some pretty slick customers and drew some very cogent conclusions. There’s a lot of other circumstantial evidence that Johnson was involved in the conspiracy.

Madeleine Brown

I covered Ms. Brown’s testimony earlier—you can find it in the section on “Other Witnesses.” But she stated very clearly for the historical record that her lover of many years and father of her child, Lyndon Johnson, told her on the night before the assassination in no uncertain terms that ‘After tomorrow those goddamn Kennedys will never embarrass me again—that’s no threat—that’s a promise.’⁶³⁰

Billie Sol Estes

The testimony of Billie Sol Estes detailed that his former business partner, Lyndon Johnson, was directly responsible for the murder of several individuals and that one of those was the murder of John F. Kennedy.

To convey an idea of the extent of pervasive corruption wreaked by Lyndon Johnson’s political organization in Texas, one need look no further than the trial of his henchman, Mac Wallace. Described as Johnson’s hit man, Wallace was found guilty of First Degree Murder with eleven jurors recommending the death penalty and the twelfth juror recommending life imprisonment.

But in an incredibly obvious example of a corrupt system known at the time as “Texas Justice,” the judge over-ruled the jury, technically sentencing Wallace to five years imprisonment, which was “suspended” by the judge, and Wallace was immediately freed.⁶³¹

Douglas Caddy, Esq., a Texas attorney formally representing Billie Sol Estes, contacted the United States Attorney’s Office on August 9, 1984, informing them of the following:

My client, Mr. Estes, has authorized me to make this reply to your letter of May 29, 1984. Mr. Estes was a member of a four-member group, headed by Lyndon Johnson, which committed criminal acts in Texas in the 1960s. The other two, besides Mr. Estes and LBJ, were Cliff Carter and Mac Wallace. Mr. Estes is willing to disclose his knowledge concerning the following criminal offenses:

I. Murders

1. The killing of Henry Marshall

2. The killing of George Krutilek

3. The killing of Ike Rogers and his secretary

4. The killing of Harold Orr

5. The killing of Coleman Wade

6. The killing of Josefa Johnson

7. The killing of John Kinser

8. The killing of President J. F. Kennedy⁶³²

The statement sent to the U.S. Department of Justice included the following: “Mr. Estes is willing to testify that LBJ ordered these killings, and that he transmitted his orders through Cliff Carter to Mac Wallace, who executed the murders.”⁶³³

Mac Wallace

A fingerprint identified at the so-called sniper’s nest in Dealey Plaza was positively identified by a certified expert in that field who determined clear fourteen-point identification, far exceeding the legal requirement of proof for a match.⁶³⁴

That fingerprint belonged to the notorious Mac Wallace, a convicted killer who, for many years, took care of the “dirty work” for Lyndon Johnson.⁶³⁵

CIA Officer E. Howard Hunt

Veteran operative Howard Hunt, in deathbed testimony, implicated Johnson as being at the operational top of the conspiracy to kill JFK. His “Chain of Command” diagram had “LBJ” as head honcho of the black op.⁶³⁶

Reduced Secret Service Protection

As I covered in the Evidence section, compared to other trips of President’s Kennedy’s, the Secret Service protection in Dallas was visibly reduced and a lot of those security reductions appeared to emanate from contacts of LBJ, like his aide Cliff Carter and Shift Leader of the White House Secret Service Detail, Emory Roberts.⁶³⁷
