The Cover-Up: How Was Movement from Phase I to Phase II Justified?

[Bill Kelly]

Charles asks if LBJ promised to go and get the real killers of JFK - and I don't think so, as he is the one who left them off the hook by adopting the Lone Nut Phase Two scenario.

That's not what I'm asking at all, Bill, so allow me to pose the question again -- this time a bit more artfully.

FOR EXAMPLE: If Earl Warren bought the Cubans/Russians-did-it Phase I story as TRUTH and chose to support the Phase II cover-up lie in order to avoid WW III, would he not have been expected to ask of LBJ and others in the know, "How will justice be done?"

ASKED ANOTHER WAY: Why would -- in this example -- Earl Warren permit Johnson to let the real killers off the hook? Why wouldn't he have reasoned, in essence, if the Cuban and Russians can get away with the murder of a U.S. president, what other acts of war will they be emboldened to carry out?

PUTTING YOU IN THOSE SHOES: "Okay General/Secretary/Judge Kelly, we've convinced you that the Cubans and Russians hit Jack Kennedy, but we're not willing to lose 40 million American lives by retaliating. So with your help we'll convince the people that a lone nut did it."

How does General/Secretary/Judge Kelly respond?

Okay, Sorry Charles, I get it, and my response is the same - I don't think LBJ ever promised Earl Warren or anyone - that justice would be done - and he replaced the regular US system of Justice - the grand jury system - with the Executive Summery of a written report that had no ability to indict suspects even if they did find a conspiracy.

I don't know about hypothetical situations, I have enough trouble trying to understand reality.

But the movement from Phase One to Phase Two was not justified with any threat or promise to learn the truth or obtain justice.

They didn't need to justify it.

They were just telling us that they killed the SOB in broad daylight in front of hundreds of people, and there's nothing you can do about it.
