"LBJ On JFK Assassination: "It's All A Conspiracy' "
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Wednesday, November 4, 2009
Recently declassified testimony by Brigadier General Godfrey McHugh,
President Kennedy's military aide for his fateful Dallas trip in November
1963, reveals how Lyndon Baines Johnson thought the assassination of JFK was
part of a wider conspiracy in the very hours after the event.
Some would argue that LBJ was a very credible source for claiming the murder
was part of an intricate plot, primarily because he was one of the
conspirators who spearheaded the whole operation.
However, McHugh's testimony suggests that either LBJ was deliberately
attempting to extricate himself from suspicion of involvement, or that he
was genuinely afraid he could be the next target of a gargantuan plot.
The interview with McHugh was originally conducted for the John F. Kennedy
Library in 1978 but has remained classified until recently.
Writer Steven M. Gillon picks up the story;
After being informed at Parkland Hospital that Kennedy was dead,
Johnson raced back to Air Force One, where he waited for Mrs. Kennedy and
the body of the slain president, and made preparations to take the Oath of
Office. Back at the hospital, the Kennedy group loaded the body into a
coffin, forced their way past a local justice of the peace, and hurried back
to Love Field for the long ride back to Washington.
It was standard practice for the plane to take off as soon as the
commander-in-chief was onboard. Even after McHugh had ordered the pilot to
take off, however, "nothing happened." According to the newly declassified
transcript, Mrs. Kennedy was becoming desperate to leave. "Mrs. Kennedy was
getting very warm, she had blood all over her hat, her coat.his brains were
sticking on her hat. It was dreadful," McHugh said. She pleaded with him to
get the plane off the ground. "Please, let's leave," she said. McHugh jumped
up and used the phone near the rear compartment to call Captain James
Swindal. "Let's leave," he said. Swindal responded: "I can't do it. I have
orders to wait." Not wanting to make a scene in front of Mrs. Kennedy,
McHugh rushed to the front of the plane. "Swindal, what on earth is going
on?" The pilot told him that "the President wants to remain in this area."
Not even realizing Johnson was on board, McHugh rushed off to try and find
him, checking the bedroom and eventually concluding that the only place LBJ
could be was in the toilet.
"I walked in the toilet, in the powder room, and there he was hiding, with
the curtain closed," McHugh recalled. He claimed that LBJ was crying, "They're
going to get us all. It's a plot. It's a plot. It's going to get us all.'"
According to the General, Johnson "was hysterical, sitting down on the john
there alone in this thing."
McHugh repeated the story to the House Select Committee on Assassinations,
saying that he found Johnson "hiding in the toilet in the bedroom
compartment and muttering, 'Conspiracy, conspiracy, they're after all of us.'"
"Although it is impossible to prove, my gut reaction is that McHugh is
telling the truth," writes Gillon. "We know that Johnson was a man capable
of dramatic mood swings, and occasional fits of hysteria were not unusual."
However, McHugh's account is irreconcilable with the evidence that suggests
LBJ himself was a key figure in the plot to kill Kennedy, a man whom he was
known to despise and wanted to eliminate so that he could become president.
Could Johnson have been feigning his hysterics in order to neutralize
suspicion about his involvement in the plot, or is McHugh's entire story
merely a fabrication?
In 2006 we highlighted [1] the astounding revelations of Johnson's mistress,
Madeleine Duncan Brown, who before her death lifted the lid on how LBJ was
in on the plot to kill JFK. Brown had seemingly little to gain from making
such claims, but her story was largely ignored by the establishment media.
The night before the Kennedy assassination, according to Brown, Lyndon
Baines Johnson met with Dallas tycoons, FBI moguls and organized crime
kingpins, emerging from the conference to tell her that "those SOB's" (the
Kennedy's) would never embarrass him again.
Before her death on June 22 2002, prolific author and lecturer Robert Gaylon
Ross had the opportunity to conduct an 80 minute sit-down interview with
Madeleine Duncan Brown and from that lengthy discussion the truth about
exactly who was behind the assassination of JFK was exposed.
"They all went in to this conference room," said Brown. "Lyndon didn't stay
that much in the meeting and when he came out..he grabbed me by the arm and
he had this deep voice and he said, 'after tomorrow those S.O.B.'s will
never embarrass me again - that's no threat - that's a promise.'"
Claims that LBJ was intimately involved in the conspiracy resurfaced again
in 2007 [2] when former CIA agent and Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt's
deathbed confession was released by his son. E. Howard Hunt names numerous
individuals with both direct and indirect CIA connections as having played a
role in the assassination of Kennedy, while describing himself as a "bench
warmer" in the plot.
Hunt alleges on the tape that then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was
involved in the planning of the assassination and in the cover-up, stating
that LBJ, "Had an almost maniacal urge to become president, he regarded JFK
as an obstacle to achieving that."
In his book, Hunt states that, "LBJ had the money and the connections to
manipulate the scenario in Dallas and is on record as having convinced JFK
to make the appearance in the first place."
Hunt also alleges that Johnson tried to get his good friend Governor John
Connolly, "to ride with him instead of in JFK's car - where.he would have
been out of danger."
Hunt concluded , "Having Kennedy liquidated, thus elevating himself to the
presidency without having to work for it himself, could have been a very
tempting and logical move on Johnson's part."
Another tell-tale sign that LBJ was fully complicit in the plot to kill
Kennedy is the infamous "wink" photograph. [3]
Congressman Albert Thomas winks back at a quickly-smiling LBJ as he is being
sworn in to be the next President of the United States on Air Force One
while the grief-stricken Jackie Kennedy stands next to him.

"...The group met for a party in Dallas hosted by Clint Murchison,
another business tycoon with close links to the Genovese mafia, on November
21st 1963, the night before the assassination. Those present at the event
included J. Edgar Hoover, Clyde Tolson, John J. McCloy, Jack Ruby, George
Brown (of Brown and Root), numerous mafia kingpins, several newspaper and TV
reporters, and Richard Nixon.
The party began to wind down at around 11 o' clock when the attendees
were shocked to witness the arrival of Lyndon Johnson who had traveled from
Houston. Clint Murchison immediately called a meeting.
"They all went in to this conference room.....Lyndon didn't stay that
much in the meeting and when he came out....he grabbed me by the arm and he
had this deep voice and he said, 'after tomorrow those S.O.B.'s will never
embarrass me again - that's no threat - that's a promise.'"
"It was a political crime for political power," said [Madeleine] Brown
as she highlighted how people who were set to testify against Johnson for
indictment proceedings, related to illegal kickbacks Johnson was receiving
from agriculture programs before the assassination, were mysteriously set-up
in homosexual scandals or found dead having allegedly shot themselves five
times in the head.
"Had the assassination not happened the day that it did, Lyndon Johnson
would have probably gone to prison - they would have gotten rid of him - he
was so involved with some of this," said Brown.

"...'He further tried unsuccessfully to engineer the passengers of
each vehicle, trying to get his good buddy, Gov. [John] Connolly, to ride
with him instead of in JFK's car - where...he would have been out of
danger', writes [E. Howard] Hunt."

OK Here it is! (The Truth).
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Do we live in the merry old land of Oz or what?
It has been since 1963 when JFK was assassinated. Review your modern
history. Eisenhower tried to warn everyone in his going away speech. Nobody
really listened. JFK too up the mantle and tried some reforms and got shot
for it. Since then it's been all about profitsa and the Pres is just a
business manager for the US war and business (spelled B-A-N-K-S-T-E-R)
interests
Frankly, the country has not been the same since JFK was assassinated. Think
of what the country and the world would be like today if he had not been
killed.
1. The Fed would not be here. JFK had taken steps to abolish the Fed (which
has never been cancelled or implemented either) and return control of the
currency to Congress when he was shot. He had already begun printing
greenbacks.
2. There would have been no war in Vietnam. Think of the money that We the
People would have saved. We would not have the financial crisis on our hands
that we have today.
3. The moon race would have become a joint international effort and the
first men on the moon would have been an American and a Russian.
4. There would have been worldwide cooperation as the agreement between
Nikita Khrushchev and JFK would have fostered international cooperation
instead of cold war.
5. Think about the money machine that would have been shut down if JFK had
lived. The banksters would have been out of business. The defense industry
that made huge profits in Vietnam - who were those companies - Bell
Helicopter - who owned Bell Helicopter - it was nearly bankrupt when it was
scooped up by First National Bank of Boston. Brown & Root, now Kellogg Brown
Root, did the dredging of Cam Rahn Bay and went on to be acquired by
Halliburton. War is big business and is controlled by the banksters. Why are
we in Afghanistan today? For freedom? No, to protect the oil interests and
the heroin interests. Money, that's what it is all about. The organizing
principle of every society is war. War makes money for the banksters and
wastes the resources of the country without raising the standard of living.
9/11 continued the effort - why? To profit certain families - Bushes,
Cheneys, bin Ladens, Sauds, and others., etc.
But why is this so?
That's the important question, isn't it. Why?
Why was Kennedy killed?
Who benefitted?
Who had the power to cover it up?
Answer these questions and you will know a lot about U.S. and world history
And you can go to the real Col. X website at
http://www.prouty.org/
His real name was Col. L. Fletcher Prouty, USAF and he was Chief of Special
Operations in the Pentagon when JFK was assassinated. You know much of the
story. His mentor General Y was General Edward G. Lansdale. See link below.

in the Special Ops. world.
