Charles,
I am delighted that you have read LBJ: MASTERMIND OF JFK'S ASSASSINATION. Nothing could please me more. It is a huge and sprawling book--rather like its subject--weighing in a 729 pages! Since every book has its strengths and weaknesses, please tell me which parts you found the most interesting and why as well as the parts you found the least persuasive and why. That would be most helpful. Thank you.
And since I have explained many times now why I regard LBJ as the "mastermind", when that term is used to refer to "the pivotal player", where his crucial role has not only been endorsed by Madeleine, Billy Sol, Barr McClellan, and E. Howard Hunt, but by JFK experts such as Nigel Turner, Jack White, and others I have named, I would also be curious as to where we agree and disagree about my take oln the case.
We have more than fifteen indications of Secret Service complicity in setting up JFK for the hit. The CIA/military/Mafia/anti-Castro Cubans took him out (with a little help from their friends in Dallas City and County law enforcement) and the FBI was used to cover it up, where Lyndon Johnson and J. Edgar Hoover were the principals (as the crucial players) with financing from Texas oil men.
I lay out my take, for example, in my review of RECLAIMING HISTORY, http://www.assassinationresearch.com/v5n1.html , which, in my opinion, warrants some of those caustic descriptions you reserve for Phil Nelson's extremely important, well-research and documented volume--which, however, I hasten to add to forestall some of DiEugeio's patented "straw men", I do not claim to be flawless--but where your characterizations strike me as completely unwarranted.
Even in relation to your SPONSOR/FACILITATOR/MECHANICS model, which has many virtues, LBJ is still the one indispensable player without whom the assassination could not have gone forward. Please be so kind as to reread my quotes from Jack Ruby, who, like Madeleine, Billy Sol, and others, knew something about the man at the center of all this and tell me who, among all your candidates, played a more pivotal role?
I know you favor the Rockefeller banksters as prime movers, even though the Dallas roots of the assassination appear to be clear. ("The CIA and the oil boys decided he had to be taken out", as Lyndon explained to Madeleine.) DiEugenio has faulted the use of the term "mastermind" to describe LBJ because--and this is his reasoning--he (LBJ) wasn't in charge of the events in Mexico City or of CE-399.
I think that claim, like so many others from DiEugenio, is ridiculous, but how can you offer Rockefeller and the banksters as an alternative? They may have had motive, since JFK was threatening to reform or abolish the FED, but are you suggesting that Nelson sent HIS chief administrative assistant to Dallas to make sure all the plans were in place for the assassination? or helped to cover it up?

Hunt did not provide us anything of value other than evidence of his mastery of the art of disinformation. His confession tells us nothing that hasn't been put forward previously. It is indeed his masterpiece -- a hand-chosen amalgam of the sexiest suspects and motives as previously and repeatedly discussed here and elsewhere. Hunt mocks us from the grave as you accept his deception as holy writ and I dignify it by responding to you.
Don't bother regurgitating Hunt's disinformation -- unless, of course, you can mine and present a single nugget of Aurum from that dull pile of Iron pyrite you breathlessly carry to the assay office, visions of untold wealth dancing in your head.
But we can agree on this much: the herein under discussion, JFK-related toxic spills of Hunt and Nelson are of a pair. And no, I'm not ready to accuse the latter of being a willful agent of disinformation. Rather, I'm noting their similar methodologies, if not motives, and the identical values of their vile products.
Not to mention the damnably similar, sinister impacts of their work on our community.
I can confirm that I have NOT read Nelson's "magnificent" book. Please tell us its title and subject matter, and I'll get right on it.
I HAVE read Nelson's LBJ/"mastermind" book. It is an abomination in every sense of the word.
