On the night of New Year's Eve Dec. 31st, 1963,
at the Driskill Hotel, Lyndon Johnson and Madeleine Brown, one of his longtime
mistresses, had an interesting conversation. Madeleine asked LBJ if he had
anything to do with the JFK assassination. Johnson got angry; he began pacing
around and waving his arms. Then LBJ told her: it was Dallas, TX, oil
executives and "renegade" intelligence agents who were behind the JFK
assassination. 1 LBJ later
also told his chief of staff Marvin Watson that the CIA was involved in the
murder of John Kennedy. 2

History is proving that Lyndon Johnson played a
key role in the JFK assassination. An important book is LBJ: The Mastermind
of the JFK Assassination (2011) by Phillip Nelson. 4 Roger Stone, an aide to Richard Nixon, is
writing a book pinning the JFK assassination on LBJ. Stone quotes Nixon as
saying "The difference between me and LBJ was, we both wanted to be President
but I wouldn't kill for it." 5
By 1973 Barry Goldwater privately telling people
that he was convinced that LBJ was behind the JFK assassination. 6
Lyndon Johnson and the Kennedys hated each
other. So why was LBJ even put on the 1960 Demo ticket in first place? The old
wive's tale is that it was to balance the ticket and win the electoral votes of
Texas. The reality is that JFK was set to pick Sen. Stuart Symington of
Missouri and had already had a deal with Symington to be VP that was "signed,
sealed & delivered" according to Symington's campaign manager Clark
Clifford. 7 Then something
strange happened on the night of July 13, 1960, in Los Angeles. According to
Evelyn Lincoln, JFK's longtime secretary, LBJ and Sam Rayburn were using some of
Hoover's blackmail information on John Kennedy to force JFK to put Johnson on
the ticket in a hostile takeover of the vice presidency. 8
JFK told his friend Hy Raskin, "They
threatened me with problems and I don't need more problems. I'm going to have enough
problems with Nixon." 9
LBJ & Hoover were very close and literally
neighbors for 19 years in Washington, DC, from 1943-1961. Both men were also
plugged in socially and professionally to Texas oil executives such as Clint
Murchison, Sr, H.L. Hunt and D.H. Byrd.
From that point on, for the next 3 and 1/3 years
the Kennedy brothers and LBJ were engaged in a deadly sub rosa war, even though
they were ostensibly a political team. On the day of the '61 inauguration, LBJ
protà ©gà © Bobby Baker told Don Reynolds that JFK would never live out his term
and that he would die a violent death. 10
For his part, Robert Kennedy spent the remainder
of JFK's term trying to figure out a way to get rid of the power-grasping LBJ.
The first opportunity to do this was the Billie Sol Estes scandal of 1961.
Estes was a cut out for LBJ doing business and had received $500,000 from LBJ
(which tells us how important Estes was). 11 LBJ and his aide Cliff
Carter manipulated the federal bureaucracy for Estes to ensure that he got
exclusive grain storage contracts and numerous other special and highly
lucrative favors. Estes says that he funneled Johnson over $10 million in
kickbacks. 12
