The LBJ-Did-It Operation Continues to Unfold

[James Lewis]

Well, let me quote from Richard E. Sprague's book, The Taking Of America 1-2-3, and you'll see where I'm coming from.
1. Nixon was White House action officer on Cuban invasion plans in 1960.
2. Nixon was in contact with Hunt and others during the Bay of Pigs planning.
3. Nixon lied to the American people by his own admission about the Bay of Pigs during his TV debates with Kennedy in 1960.
4. Nixon was financially linked to the Mafia and to Cuban casino operations before Castro took over.
5. Nixon was acquainted with Hunt, Baker, Martinez, Sturgis, Carlos Prio Socarras, and other Watergate people and anti-Castro people in Florida, and he was financially linked to Baker, Martinez and Socarras.
6. Hunt, Baker, Sturgis and Socarras were connected with the assassination group in the murder of JFK.
7. Nixon was in Dallas for three days, including the morning of the JFK assassination. He was trying to stir up trouble for Kennedy.
8. Nixon went to Dallas under false pretenses. There was no board meeting of the Pepsi Cola Company as he announced his law firm had had to attend.
9. Nixon did not admit being in Dallas on the day Kennedy was shot and did not reveal the true reason for his trip. He held two press conferences on the two days before the assassination, attacking both Kennedy and Johnson and emphasizing the Democratic political problems in Texas.
10. Research indicates that Nixon either knew in advance about assassination plans, or learned about them soon after the assassination.
11. Nixon proposed to Lyndon Johnson that Gerald Ford serve on the Warren Commission.

That's just a summary of Nixon's connections to the assassination before the fact. When you add in the Watergate tapes, the "Bay Of Pigs", and Ford's pardon of Nixon, what you have is a picture of a man who: Knew many of the people connected to both the Kennedy assassination and Watergate (the parallels between the incidents is chilling), lied about being in Dallas on November 22, 1963, and knew many of the people on the Warren Commission, and tried to hire many of the same people to defend him during Watergate. Maybe I'm wrong, but that and what I talked about in my first post on the subject are just too many coincidences for me. And yes, he may have been a puppet in the end, but I think the evidence clearly shows that Nixon pulled more than a few strings himself.

I don't see that Nixon had access to the confidences of any sponsors. And he and his careeer do not strike me as particularly worthy of any confidences either. Nixon was a man who knew where the action was and who the important players were and he sought their patronage. He was and remained an outsider. Sure, he benefitted personally and he may have had a lot of useful information. But again, he didn't place LHO in the book depository or get him in and out of the USSR. Ultimately he was dispensable. As was LBJ. Just another pawn on the chessboard.
