Just a note to mention that, having read a substantial chunk (but not all) of his book, LBJ: THE MASTERMIND BEHIND JFK'S ASSASSINATION (2010), I find his case extremely persuasive and massively documented. The first 115 pages are extraordinarily interesting in dissecting LBJ's character and attitudes. I am not only inclined to believe that Lyndon was indispensable to the conspiracy--since none of the conspirators would have gone forward without his approval--but given his very "hands on" style, it is virtually inconceivable that he would have allowed this to happen without fine-tuning its details. While many other individuals and groups had an interest in removing JFK and replacing him with LBJ, their motives paled in comparison to his: he had the most to gain; he had the least to lose; he had the means to do it; he had the apparatus in place to cover it up; and he also had the kind of narcissistc/sociopathic personality capable of rationalizing the action as necessary and acceptable together combined with the resolve and determination to see it through, as Nelson explains on pp. 36-37. I interviewed him on "The Real Deal" today for broadcast this Friday over revereradio.net from 5-7 PM/CT. Listen if you can but definitely read the book! Phil has written a marvelous synthesis of the core of the case.
