Malloy saying that E Howard Hunt ratted out LBJ on Hunt's deathbed

[Doctor_J]

I am not sure where he got this, but he's saying Hunt claimed LBJ set up 11/22/63.

[shance]

1. Of course Mr. Hunt did. He's one of the suspects who was actually at the scene of the crime.

2. And if this is true....this is the only way it could have been done

with insiders.

6. LBJ was totally controlled by the Houston faction of Texas power

That's why it happened in Dallas.

The Houston power hated JFK.

They had JFK and Jackie booked into the very suite at the Rice Hotel where the group would regularly meet (I attended some of those meetings as a kid with my Grandfather).

I have a great personal LBJ story, but it takes too long to type.

12. You should create a DU Journal...I bet many like myself would

love to read it.

[TomInTib]

15. Thank you ma'am...

but the stuff that is closest, I share selectively.

Let's face it, if I put most of my stuff in a Journal I would be on 10,000 "ignore" lists.

Heck, that is probably already the case.

But I thank you for your kind words.

Check your Inbox.

22. Thanks for sharing

that with us. I hope it's recorded somewhere, somehow, for posterity.

3. Extensive article on this in my Sunday Palm Beach Post....

Let's just say the Warren Commission could have been headed by the Bush Admin. i.e. their credibility. I never bought a word of that report for a minute...

4. I took America in the Sixties at Duke's TIP program one summer

And after reading some about LBJ - we all thought he was bonkers and that he probably had Kennedy killed.

But more in a sort of funny way than a seriously believing it way. Still not completely buying it as proven fact, but I'm open-minded.

5. He was probably much closer to the Texas right wing than to JFK

Idealogically and personally. But this is pretty evil stuff.

10. To say that Johnson was closer to the Texas right wing than JFK

is just not believable. Johnson is the one who got the voting rights act through Congress. The Texas right wing did every thing they could to prevent blacks from voting. Also Johnson got money for Head Start, a program that the Southern right wing absolutely hated. I know because I was living in my native South at that time.

13. In many ways LBJ was to the left of JFK.

Especially in the area of civil rights.

He was as complex and enigmatic as any political figure I know of.

[Frances]

16. I agree that Johnson was to the left of JFK in many ways

I hate that JFK and Johnson got sucked into Vietnam. But JFK's speeches inspired me so much that I began to open my eyes about segregation which was all I had known up to that time. And Johnson's push for voting rights and head start gave me hope for the future.

7. He got it HERE.

Or rather, see the LA Times article linked at the above.

8. Ratted...to whom?

[Doctor_J]

14. To his son and whoever was hovering over his deathbed

Sounds like it was some sort of act of contrition trying to keep from getting sent to hell.

9. Malloy said he got it from this Rolling Stone article...

[soothsayer]

11. obvious to anyone who's seen the wink

in that fampus photo of lbj on the plane with jfk' body. if g h w bush aint involved, ilm the chimp's uncle.

[pretzel4gore]

17. he even lied on his deathbed(?)

Johnson never had the power to arrange the murder of JFK, which, as some have noted, was done in a spectacular public fashion when it could have easily been arranged quietly, via poison or 'accident' etc. The reason for the brutal public execution was to send the message that whoever did the deed aint afraid of Congress, the Senate, the FBI or CIA etc, iow the American people....like Bill Clinton, to some extent, JFK was the people's choice despite media preference for the other guy - and much like the hideous effort to ruin Clinton (the bj, blue dress etc) the real target was 'liberals' who could hardly NOT be embarrased by the sordid details dragged out for months. If you're a liberal democrat, then the Clinton impeachment imbroglio was an attack on YOU! Just like the public execution of JFK was an attack on everybody who preferred JFK to nixon. Lyndon Johnson was lots of things, but he had nothing to do with JFK's murder (though he probably knew something like it was to happen, as did the Kennedys)
mr pig calls what he does 'The Great Game' and we're pawns in it. We shouldn't be pawns, but when a reasonably decent man like Johnson can be tagged by a hireling like howard hunt (whose own wife was killed in a plane crash with a suspicious black ops pedigree) then you can see why we are pawns...
>ot reading Hunter Thompsons 'Generation of Swine' from mid 80's and see that Hunter thought G Gordon Liddy was 'deep throat!' ...that was interesting; though i read 'GOS" when it came out, i can't recall that! Also, Liddy was featured in the recent 'The US versus John Lennon' as a talking head who said Lennon shouldn't have gotten involved with people 'we' don't like - this was a reference to Lennon's emergence as an anti war hero etc. somebody should spike g gordon's mint juleps with truth serum: imagine the planeloads of nazipoohs suddenly running off to Paraguay!

18. I don't buy this story. Just another attempt by a

nazi dick to blame the Dems and take pressure off of Bush I.

[whistle]

19. Is E. Howard Hunt finally dead? Are you sure? Was a wooden stake pierced through

....his stony heart and his head cut off? That man is another one of these neo-con nihilistic fascist counter heroes who would never tell the truth. Only when his lips are permanently sealed will we know Hunt is not lying, because only then would he not be uttering words. Anything he has written or which has been written for him should be burned because it is most certainly all lies!

20. Would LBJ ride in a motorcade he arranged to have shot at ?

One thing that keeps me from believing in LBJs or John Connally's involvement is the fact that they rode in the motorcade. Would they have trusted the skill of the assassin that much? --or would they not have known about the specifics of the plan.
