James H. Fetzer Wrote:Well, when you are wrong, you are wrong. And both Adele and Coogan are wrong. LBJ was the guy who pressured JFK to come to Texas. He even told Henry Gonzales that he didn't want to make the trip, but that Lyndon was insisting. Connally was the one who, apparently faking a phone call to the White House, claimed that Kenny O'Donnell had approved the change of venue to the Trade Mart, even though the Secret Service felt it was less secure than The Women's Forum. I think those who want to get this straight ought to do more research, especially LBJ: MASTERMIND OF JFK'S ASSASSINATION.
What I don't understand is why Mr Fetzer seems impervious to realizing that everything written above doesn't preclude in the slightest, whatsoever, other people influencing Johnson to do these things. This 'evidence' wouldn't pass even the first level of court scrutiny. There's not a single thing there that precludes the real masterminds from approaching LBJ and getting him to do those things on their behalf. As a matter of fact, I personally believe that is the exact description of the above and shows the opposite of what Mr Fetzer is contending. I just refuse to believe old "bullshit" Lyndon was capable of all that on his own.
When exactly did Lyndon visit the CIA headquarters and talk them in to all this difficult arranging that appears, from the record, to have started long before this Dallas trip business?
