Craig Zirbel's new book The Final Chapter On the Assassination of John F. Kennedy - Robert Morrow - 17-03-2011
For the benefit of new folks, I do believe that Lyndon Johnson was the most key player in the 1963 Coup d'Etat. Here is my blog: http://lyndonjohnsonmurderedjfk.blogspot.com/
Craig Zirbel, author of the Texas Connection, has come out with a new book on the JFK assassination entitled The Final Chapter on the Assassination of JFK. It focuses on the role of Lyndon Johnson. Here is the link:

Foreward to the book:
I hope you appreciate the irony of the cover case to this book. It is a
replica of the exhibit volumes issued by the Warren Commission. The
Commission issued twenty-six volumes of supporting records to their
report. As such, it seemed appropriate that this book should be the
Commission's twenty-seventh volume.
This is a time of good news for those interested in the Kennedy
assassination. Sealed records have been released, new evidence has been
found, and aging witnesses have started coming out of the shadows to tell
what they know.
Unfortunately, there have still been a few powerful people who do
not like this. In the recent past, Lyndon B. Johnson's widow and his
longtime aide, Jack Valenti, decided that our right to free speech does not
apply to certain matters relating to the Kennedy assassination. In a
desperate attempt to stop a full scale discussion of JFK's murder, this small
contingency publicly attacked the Discovery Channel for broadcasting a
documentary film about the assassination events in relationship to LBJ's
potential involvement. In fact, they actually bullied the Arts &
Entertainment Network to agree to no longer air the "objectionable"
documentary, and to in fact host a pro LBJ symposium.
Can you imagine that almost fifty years after the fact, Lyndon B.
Johnson from his grave still yields enough power to prevent a public
examination of his potential involvement in this murder? And, this is in
spite of recent evidence coming forward from LBJ's mistress, some of his
old friends, one of his lawyers, the KGB, and even Lee Harvey Oswald's
own murderer - implicating Johnson in the crime! This of course begs the
question as to whether the issue is actually so blasphemous that it should
be censored, or whether this is one last attempt by Johnson's few remaining
followers to blockade the public's quest for the truth?
From a personal perspective, I have been enjoying watching the
antics of LBJ's supporters. This is the first time that they have publicly
stepped forward in attempt to stem the tide of accusers. Up until this time,
these people always lurked behind the scenes to yield their clubs. Many of
my readers may recall that twenty years ago when my first Kennedy
assassination book came out, The Texas Connection: the Assassination of
John F. Kennedy, the treatment that I received for my opinions was major
media blacklisting. In fact, I still remember the time that I was invited to
appear in New York for a national morning television show, appearing, and
then being told by the producer just before airtime that "a call just came in
from the powers above" and that he had been ordered not to allow me on
the air to discuss the topic of my book.
Fortunately things have changed since then and will continue to
change, especially with the recent deaths of LBJ's widow and his top aide.
In recent polls; a large contingent of Americans now believe that LBJ, in
some capacity, was involved in President Kennedy's death. This probably
explains why those remaining in the Johnson camp have now decided that
since their behind the scenes intimidation no longer works, they now must
resort to public threats in an attempt to try to preserve historical fiction.
In this book, I analyze the surrounding facts to the assassination
confirmed by witnesses and documentary proof. The book starts with the
seeds to the assassination, which involves the mob placing Johnson on the
Kennedy presidential ticket to hedge their bet of backing Kennedy in the
event of his untimely death due to Addison's disease, tracks Vice President
Johnson to the doorsteps of a known mob meeting in Miami before JFK's
death, and then ultimately follows the rewards bestowed upon the
participants after the fact. And, you should note that some of the rewards
that were supplied were mind boggling! I believe that the result produces
a "common sense" end to the assassination mystery.
But, what do I know? Just enjoy the read!

Craig Zirbel's new book The Final Chapter On the Assassination of John F. Kennedy - Charles Drago - 17-03-2011
Any and all -- repeat, any and all -- statements to the effect that Lyndon Baines Johnson is the "mastermind," key player, or even a major player in the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy are the product of ignorance and/or cover-up support.
There is not a scintilla of evidence to suggest that LBJ was anything more than a mid-level Facilitator of the conspiracy: a relatively powerful force within the wholly controlled apparatus of government/overt authority who had absolutely no power whatsoever to order the assassination and no ability whatsoever to direct its planning, execution, or cover-up.
LBJ is the classic False Sponsor.
Repeat: within the wholly controlled aparatus of government/overt authority.
Period.
End of story.
As a serious, in-depth, mature understanding of deep political processes inevitably leads us to conclude, the descriptor "mastermind" or any other term used by the disinformationalists and/or their ignorant minions bears no relationship whatsoever to LBJ's true role and, for that matter, to the English language.
As for the initial post in this thread: Once again, the presentation of quantity of nonsense is offered in the absence of quality argument.
Peddle this garbage where it's welcome, please.
Was LBJ an accessory to murder? I'd stake my reputation on it.
Was he a true Sponsor or high-level Facilitator within the conspiracy structure?
Not a chance in hell.
Huff and puff to your hearts' content, criminals and Johnson-phobes, but no one -- repeat, no one -- has yet to provide legitimate evidence to refute my statments of fact above.
Nor can they.
The end.
(I wish.)

You didn't notice something interesting about the New Zirbel?
In his first LBJ did it book, back there in 1991, he was all for a Texas Conspiracy.
Now, a generation later, from the Contents, he has changed it to a Johnson/Mafia conspiracy.
You know, I don't think consistency is too much to ask in a writer.
This reminds me of that goofball Nigel Turner. In the first go round, he posits Steve Rivele's fruity Corsican Connection via Christian David.
Then, over a decade later, in 2003, he comes up with the whole Barr McClellan/Murchison/LBJ thing.
And no one is supposed to notice? Or ask questions?
Its this kind of thing that gets us marginalized into the tin foil hat crowd.

Mr Zirbels first book The Texas Connection tried to pin the entire assassination on LBJ and his Texas cronies, now its LBJ and the Mafia. Now in a twenty year period anyone can change their mind, dig up new evidence, come to new conculsions, but whatever role LBJ and the mob had in the murder, and I believe both had a role, but as Mr Drago said LBJ was not the mastermind and in no way could be, the mob had a role, but it too was NOT, the driving force.

Which is precisely one of the objectives of the masters of Zirbel, Nelson, and their ilk.
In the final analysis, Jim, the question of whether or not these charlatans are witting agents of the cover-up or simply dupes is moot.
If a man shoots you in the head because he honestly believes it will cure your migraine, you still end up dead as Julius Caesar.
Craig Zirbel's new book The Final Chapter On the Assassination of John F. Kennedy - Stan Wilbourne - 18-03-2011
"David Rockefeller/Averell Harriman did it" - But, maybe Donald Gibson has already covered this, and it isn't sexy enough for mass consumption.
I heard or read an interview with Gibson awhile back now - these interviews are hard to find, I guess there isn't much interest in the guy. He asked a very basic question: Who did Allen Dulles and John McCloy really work for? And, he scoffed at the assassination being such a riddle; he obviously didn't think it was.
The sponsorship of the cover-up continues ad nauseum.
CIA
LBJ
Texas Oil
Mafia
Those nasty hate-filled Cubans
The Military Industrial Complex
Renegade Intell Officers
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we'd like to welcome you back to another sold out performance of 'Who Killed JFK?' We do ask that you stay in your seats until the last act is done. Some interesting stuff about what may have gone behind the knoll, and the true location of the shooters. It will leave you breathless and begging for more."
The play continues without end. It has many different story lines, pointing in several different directions. It would be easy for someone to watch and think , "Wow, this is pretty complicated and unknowable stuff. I want to get back to something I can get my mind around more easily."
And, maybe that's what the play is 'really' about...

Stan,
We're close on all this.
I'd rephrase:
The FALSE Sponsorship continues.
Rockefeller and Harriman may inhabit the actual Sponsorship level -- although I'm less sold on the latter.
And the play, I'm sure we agree, is indeed the thing.
Craig Zirbel's new book The Final Chapter On the Assassination of John F. Kennedy - Stan Wilbourne - 18-03-2011
Yeah, Charles. Or the Sponsorship of the False Sponsorship may be more accurate.
I think the relationship with Rockefeller and Harriman deserves close study.
Bobby Kennedy talking about Vietnam and Diem and Harriman's role in the events of late summer of '63:
"The government was broken in two in a very disturbing way."
How utterly prophetic.

Obviously, Zirbel didn't know what he was talking about with his first book. He just wanted an LBJ angle, no matter how he got it.
Now he completely shifts who the accessories are to the Mob.
If I recall correctly, Zirbel self published his book right in advance of Stone's film. He then got a front page tie in with National Enquirer. So he made some bucks.
Now he comes back with a major revision in how the conspiracy happened. What do we do with his first book now?
