I still can't shake the fact that the patsy they blamed for killing RFK was a Palestinian, and they tried to associate him with people in the al-Fatah movement. That wasn't just an accident given everything going on in the Middle East at the time.
I agree with you about LBJ, but let us not forget that this was followed up by that idiot Nixon appointing a Jew, Kissinger, as his National Security Advisor. I mean talk about inappropriate.
It makes me laugh when people say that well, geez, all US presidents tried to stop Israel from getting the bomb. They are simply wrong. In Roger Mattson's book I reviewed for Consortium News, they admit that the last president who really tried to stop Israel from getting the bomb was Kennedy. I mean Kissinger told Nixon to make that deal with Golda Meir even though Kissinger suspected what happened at Numec in Apollo! Which amounts to rewarding Israel for thievery and lying to us.
But you are right about Angleton and LBJ. With those two in charge of things, there was no way Kennedy's even handed approach was going to continue there.
What a terrible mistake.
