The Fetzer Challenge

[Seamus Coogan]

Charles Drago asked:

"In your informed opinion, was Lyndon Baines Johnson the prime mover and architect of the conspiracy that resulted in the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy?"

"Did LBJ possess the power and authority to order the JFK assassination and to have his order implemented by powerful assets within U.S. civilian and military intelligence agencies and other areas of the national/international power structure?"

"Was LBJ capable of crafting the JFK assassination conspiracy in all its complexity -- including the cover-up?"

"Do you agree with Phillip Nelson's assessment of LBJ as the 'mastermind' of the JFK assassination?"

"Do you accept the so-called 'confession' of E. Howard Hunt as a completely truthful statement made without hidden agendas to deceive and disinform?"

My replies are in the order asked: No, no, no, no, and no.

As a contributor to The Guilty Men episode of TMWKK, I must say that my position was not accurately placed in context. Although the actual words I spoke stand on their own, I was placed in the category of "One of those who implicate LBJ..." --which is far too broad a descriptor as the question of "what exactly did I implicate him?" was vaguely implied, if inaccurately, as to be too far reaching. However, I have yet to see any JFK show with which I took no exception. All in all, Nigel did a good job, in my view.

Good to hear from you Burnham. Happy new year by the way. Cheers for the contribution here. I think it's a good idea CD.
