Jesse Ventura's JFK Conspiracy Program

[James Lewis]

Ok...I've been following the JFK case since I was 14 years old, I have read nearly all of the available literature, and I think I might actually know something about who actually commissioned JFK's murder. Let's do some math first...between 1963-1972, excluding MLK and Malcolm X, there were three political shootings...two assassinations, and one attempted assassination. Notice what I said...two assassinations, one attempted assassination...and the attempted assassination is key to my theory. The shootings that I speak of are JFK, RFK, and George Wallace. Remember, after JFK won in 1960, Nixon swore that Kennedy Stole the election from him with the help of the Mafia...although it could be said that Kennedy's Mafia guys were more effective than Nixon's, but that's another point altogether. Nixon would have run for President in 1964, but after he lost the California governor's race in 1962, he basically made himself a liability. Remember, the plot to kill JFK basically was hatched in 1961-1962, soon after he came to power. In 1968, RFK most definitely would have won, and he would have reopened the investigation into his brother's death...RFK was no fool, he had a pretty good idea of who actuallykilled his brother, otherwise he wouldn't have asked then-CIA Director John McCone if his guys...the CIA...had done it. RFK had to be eliminated, because if he wins, the Vietnam war would have ended a lot sooner than it did, and the CIA would have been scattered to the winds as a result of a Justice Department investigation into JFK's death. The key shooting for me, though, is George Wallace. As most of us well remember, Nixon won by a landslide in 1972...a landslide he wouldn't have had if Wallace had run. Remember, Wallace actually won two primaries and would have split Nixon's vote in half, possibly giving McGovern the election by default, or throwing it into the Electoral College. Oh yes...there's Watergate. We all know by now that the "official" version of Watergate is, to quote Gordon Liddy, "about as accurate as a pamphlet for the Flat Earth Society". And he might know. Remember the Watergate tapes...the incessant mentions of the "Bay of Pigs" ? H. R. Haldeman stated in his book "The Ends of Power", that that was a code for the Kennedy assassination. And remember, Nixon threatened Richard Helms directly with exposure of the "Bay of Pigs". If Nixon wasn't either the prime mover in the plot, or at least plugged into it at a very high level, how would he know to use the assassination to threaten the CIA ? Furthermore, how would he know to use the assassination to threaten Richard Helms in particular ? And why was Nixon so scared of what E. Howard Hunt would say about the "Bay of Pigs", that he paid Hunt $2 million to keep his mouth shut ? Remember, $2 million was much more in 1972 than it is today...about the equivalent of $15 to $18 million today. And what about the fact that all but two of the Warren Commissioners had either past, present, or future connections with Richard Nixon ? The two that didn't, Hale Boggs and Richard Russell, both believed there had been a conspiracy...and Boggs died in a plane crash over Alaska as he was trying to reopen the investigation. Too many coincidences involving Richard Nixon...and I don't generally believe in coincidence. Yes, this was a grand conspiracy that involved the CIA and many shadowy forces behind the scenes. But from Caesar forward, all conspiracies have a point man...a prime mover who wants power above all else. And as history has shown us, Nixon is that man. My two cents

What would be most helpful to me as I read the "mastermind" book are your responses to my previous questions, Jim.

And to these:

What is your model for the JFK conspiracy?

Are you familiar with the Evica/Drago three-tiered (Sponsor/Facilitator/Mechanic) model?

Was LBJ at the very top of the Sponsorship level of the JFK conspiracy?

Did LBJ have the ultimate authority to order the hit on JFK?

Did LBJ have the ultimate authority to take this world-historic action even if the financial, industrial, and military interests who were above Cold War differences objected?

Was LBJ the "mastermind" of the anti-FDR plot broken up by Smedley Butler?

Did LBJ rule the world?

By the way, I define "Sponsor" as, in this case, a master to whom presidents and other grand puppets answer.
