Very quickly, before I go to bed.
In short order, after Kennedy is killed:
1. LBJ refuses to sign the aid bill that was on Kennedy's desk for Sukarno.
2. LBJ makes clear he will not make the state trip to Jakarta, that Kennedy had agreed to in order to stop Konfrontasi with the British and Malaysia. This was a terrible blow to Sukarno, since it left him exposed externally, thereby exposing him to an internal coup. (Sukarno was actually going to build an estate for JFK's visit. He openly wept when he got the news of Kennedy's death.)
3. Jock Whitney, the founder of Freeport Sulphur and a big Rockefeller ally, a man worth 700 million dollars in 1963--over five billion today--went to work as a copy boy at his newspaper, the New York Herald Tribune, the night Kennedy was killed. And that paper penned the first "Oswald was a sociopath" editorial on the JFK hit. (IMO, this was both professional--as part of the cover up--and personal. For after JFK was inaugurated, he sent Whitney, ambassador to England, a three word termination telegram: " Jock, Pack, Jack".)
4. Gus Long, a big wheel for Texaco, Caltex and Freeport, sets up a committee of "independents for Johnson", which is really Wall Streeters for LBJ. When LBJ wins, he puts Long on the FIAB, which approves covert actions. At this point, the overthrow of Sukarno was only 8 months off.
Almost all of this is in Lisa's article. The rest is in Poulgrain's book or the second edition of Destiny Betrayed. ​This is what I mean. JFK's murder set the stage for Sukarno's overthrow.
