"JFK's own dirty trick" by Mark Feldstein [For Nixon to call Kennedy "a dirty politician" is rich]

[Seamus Coogan]

Yes. And Madeleine told me that he (Nixon) had been driven out to the home of Clint Murchison the night before the assassination by a local Republican leader, who worked in the same building where Madeleine was a young advertising executive. Others who were present included J. Edgar Hoover, Clyde Tolson, H.L. Hunt, George Brown (of Brown & Root), and John J. McCloy, whom Lyndon would later appoint as a member of The Warren Commission. LBJ showed up late in the evening and these heavy-hitters disappeared into a board room. After 15-20 minutes, the meeting broke up and Lyndon strode over to her. She expected him to whisper sweet-nothings in her ear, but instead he told her, in a hateful tone of voice, that after tomorrow he wasn't going to have to put up with embarrassment from those goddamn Kennedy boys any longer. Six weeks later, during a rendezvous at the Driskill Hotel in Austin, on New Years' Eve, when she confronted him with rumors, rampant in Dallas at the time, that he had been involved, since no one stood to gain more personally from the assassination, he blew up at her and told her that the oil boys and the CIA had decided that JFK had to be taken out. I mention this, not because the story may not be familiar, but because I heard it from Madeleine herself. The final segment of "The Men Who Killed Kennedy", Part 9, "The Guilty Men", was devoted to this matter and included corroborating testimony from the chauffeur who drove Edgar to the meeting and others who were present at the time. It is therefore unsurprising in the extreme that this segment has been suppressed (along with "The Smoking Guns" and also "The Love Affair").

So one can imagine if Nixon had heard of a plot to kill Kennedy or knew of one afterwards that there would be no love lost nor would Nixon be compelled to rush forward and report it. And that's without considering even worse possibilities.

This is a very curious story. Ms. Brown also said that the party was written up in the Dallas paper but the story was never found. Jay Harrsion put a lot of time into trying to find this write up without success. (Jack, Jim can you address this point?) Then there is the employee who worked for Murchinson who was also on THe Guilty Men and said the party occurred and named the guests backing up Ms. Brown's claim. (I had forgotten about the driver until just reading it) Yet LBJ was also giving a speech hours away. I wondered if his twin like cousin was perhaps standing in.

All in all this story is pretty incredible and difficult to believe. I too found Ms. Brown credible when I met her in Dallas in 1998. And charming. BUT I have always wondered if she loved the man so much why did she spill so much of his alleged dirty laundry? In part this may be answered by the way their son was treated. It is even speculated that his death in his 20s may have not been natural.

A curious mess, indeed.

It never made its way to the Deep Politics Forum. Though I am sure most people have seen the full thing by now.

As it stands I hope that when combined with Jims knowledge of the Brown party stories evolution that these excerpts from the article single out a number of the problems with her story for anyone interested.

9:36 Minutes: Johnson and Pussy Galore:

Almost on top of Jones "blue blood" call, he then promotes Madeleine Brown. Brown may have met Democratic congressman Lyndon Johnson at a party in 1948 in Austin, and may have been one of his many female friends. It's ironic that Johnson purportedly bestowed the name Pussy Galore on her because Miss Galore, like Brown, is a fiction. (Bennett Woods, LBJ Architect of American Ambition, pg, 247). Brown's most way-out claim is that she was present at a secret party in Texas where Richard Nixon, John McLoy, J. Edgar Hoover, LBJ, and oil baron Clint Murchison, Sr.or his son Junior, depending on whose concocted story you readand other luminaries planned Kennedy's assassination on the evening of the 21st of November, 1963.

Firstly, Johnson himself was seen by a few thousand people and filmed that night in the company of President Kennedy at the Houston Coliseum. Johnson didn't arrive in Fort Worth until 11.05 pm on the night of the 21st of November, and it is roundly reported that he wound up his day in the same hotel at a very late hour with his advisors. (William Manchester, Death of a President, pgs. 135, 138).

The same goes for Dick Nixon, who was in town that night with Joan Crawford. This was widely reported in the Dallas press and was still being reported until fairly late that evening. (The Dallas Morning News, Friday, November 22, 1963, Section 1-19) Kai Bird's autobiography describes John McCloy hearing the news of the assassination while having breakfast with former President Eisenhower. (The Chairman, p. 544) As for Hoover, according to Anthony Summers, it is highly likely (to the point of absolute certainty) that J. Edgar Hoover, like McCloy, was nowhere near Texas at the time. For instance, the next day he was calling Bobby Kennedy from his Washington office at around 1:34 P.M EST with news of the shooting. (Summers, Official and Confidential, p. 394).

In fact, in none of the standard biographies of HooverPowers, Theoharis, Gentry, or Summersdoes anyone note him being in Texas that evening. A Dallas-to-Washington round trip is around 3-4 hours each way. Why would two very powerful and highly visible 68-year-olds fly to Dallas, Texas to meet with Johnson at some ungodly hour, well after 11:00 P.M CST, compromising themselves in the process, and then fly back from Dallas, arriving home anywhere between 3:00-5:00 AM the following morning? Why do all that when a sinister meeting in Washington could have easily been arranged prior to events. And anyway, as Jim DiEugenio has said, the idea of organizing the plot just a night before is silly (Please see: Jim DiEugenio; Black Op Radio, Show #476, May 28, 2010.) ........................................

Had Jones (or his researchers) ever bothered to look around the Kennedy critical community, he would have found that potential "Johnson did it" allieslike Doug Weldonrepeatedly tried to interview and question Brown with legitimate questions; yet she constantly evaded such questioning. (Doug Weldon: Spartacus Education Forum, post of 4/25/10)

But the hypocrisy and contradiction surrounding Brown continues unabated. Jones' top researcher, Paul Watson, makes a big deal about Johnson's highly improbable statement to Brown, "Those SOB's will never embarrass me again." What Watson doesn't tell anybody is that Johnson had also told Brown that oilmen and the CIA had killed Kennedy. The evidence clearly shows that Johnson had grave doubts about the assassination, and was unconvinced, as was Hoover, with the evidence days after the assassination. (Gerald McKnight, Breach of Trust, p. 283)
