The LBJ-Did-It Operation Continues to Unfold

[James Lewis]

Thank you, Phil, for summing things up nicely, or at least nicely enough for me.

Israel and the Mossad are false sponsors, as much as the Cubans or Soviets were in the days following the assassination.

I think the key to finding out who sponsored the assassination lies in finding out who had the extra-governmental power to:

1. Force an army battalion stationed less than 300 miles from to stand down and not protect the President, contrary to policy.

2. Strip the Secret Service protection from Kennedy to the extent that it was.

3. Force a change in the motorcade route the day of the assassination and have the first route, which was printed on the front page of the Dallas Morning News, grayed out with no mention of the change.

All of these things, much like Joe Alsop's pressuring Johnson to create what became the Warren Commission, probably came from powerful forces outside the government.

If we figure out some of the answers to those questions, we might actually learn something.
