Lyndon Baines Johnson was a mid-level Facilitator in the Kennedy conspiracy.
Precisely my view.
Mine too.
LBJ certainly knew about it in advance as, by definition, any facilitator would, and he was praying it would be successful for a multitude of selfish reasons.
However, the idea that Lyndon Johnson masterminded this operation strains credulity when one considers the sloppiness of the Henry Marshall and John Kinser murders--both infinitely more simple killings than the complex Dealey Plaza operation.
And how did LBJ persuade Jack Ruby to sacrifice his life for the cause? He couldn't even cajole the Parkland doctors into manufacturing a deathbed confession from LHO and judging by the comments he made after his arrest, I don't think Ruby even liked LBJ.
Other parties persuaded Ruby, and other parties organised JFK's murder, and they knew future historians would most likely blame LBJ. LBJ probably knew that he would eventually be implicated but he didn't really care. He was desperate to avoid jail and desperate to be Chief Executive. So long as the mainstream media was his staunch ally, he knew he was safe for the rest of his life. There was no internet in 1963.
