Nelson's LBJ Mastermind book

[James H. Fetzer]

Well, DiEugenio dropped his little "bomb shell", in case you hadn't noticed. It is
tempting to infer than, if most people think something is false, then it must be
false. This especially affects those who have not studied the evidence. Since
you say that "the same powers" are still in power as we speak, are you talking
about Allen Dulles, J. Edgar, Clint Murchison, and LBJ? Do you think that "the
national security state" or some other abstraction exists apart from real people
who make real decisions and whose identities change across time? I think we
have a problem in sorting things out, where I have argued that the CIA played a
key role in the deaths of JFK and of RFK, but I would not suggest that the same
players, such as David Sanchez Morales, George Joannides, or Gordon Campbell
are "still in power". I think there is some degree of confusion here, where "the
national security state" sounds appealing as an explanation but cannot explain
any specific actions taken by any specific players on any specific occasion. So I
think your objection, which also appears to inspire Charles, is simply misguided.

I am not even touching the no planes or different planes theory, as this is a JFK assassination section of the forumn. For those who insist that LBJ was the "mastermind" I have yet to see one of them address the question of then who killed MLK and RFK.

There is no doubt that LBJ was in the 63 coup up to his eyeballs. But mastermind or at the top, not a chance. The same powers that killed JFK killed MLK and RFK and are still in power as we speak.
