Craig Zirbel's new book The Final Chapter On the Assassination of John F. Kennedy

[James H. Fetzer]

Robert,

Everything I have read about it--including the material available on-line--suggests that this,
like Nelson's LBJ masterpiece, has the right take on history. I am sorry to see the reception
that work like this receives here, as though it were heretical! Sad but true to say that there
is a prevailing paradigm here that substantiated truth cannot penetrate, as this thread shows.

Jim

For the benefit of new folks, I do believe that Lyndon Johnson was the most key player in the 1963 Coup d'Etat. Here is my blog: http://lyndonjohnsonmurderedjfk.blogspot.com/

Craig Zirbel, author of the Texas Connection, has come out with a new book on the JFK assassination entitled The Final Chapter on the Assassination of JFK. It focuses on the role of Lyndon Johnson. Here is the link:

Foreward to the book:
I hope you appreciate the irony of the cover case to this book. It is a
replica of the exhibit volumes issued by the Warren Commission. The
Commission issued twenty-six volumes of supporting records to their
report. As such, it seemed appropriate that this book should be the
Commission's twenty-seventh volume.
This is a time of good news for those interested in the Kennedy
assassination. Sealed records have been released, new evidence has been
found, and aging witnesses have started coming out of the shadows to tell
what they know.
Unfortunately, there have still been a few powerful people who do
not like this. In the recent past, Lyndon B. Johnson's widow and his
longtime aide, Jack Valenti, decided that our right to free speech does not
apply to certain matters relating to the Kennedy assassination. In a
desperate attempt to stop a full scale discussion of JFK's murder, this small
contingency publicly attacked the Discovery Channel for broadcasting a
documentary film about the assassination events in relationship to LBJ's
potential involvement. In fact, they actually bullied the Arts &
Entertainment Network to agree to no longer air the "objectionable"
documentary, and to in fact host a pro LBJ symposium.
Can you imagine that almost fifty years after the fact, Lyndon B.
Johnson from his grave still yields enough power to prevent a public
examination of his potential involvement in this murder? And, this is in
spite of recent evidence coming forward from LBJ's mistress, some of his
old friends, one of his lawyers, the KGB, and even Lee Harvey Oswald's
own murderer - implicating Johnson in the crime! This of course begs the
question as to whether the issue is actually so blasphemous that it should
be censored, or whether this is one last attempt by Johnson's few remaining
followers to blockade the public's quest for the truth?
From a personal perspective, I have been enjoying watching the
antics of LBJ's supporters. This is the first time that they have publicly
stepped forward in attempt to stem the tide of accusers. Up until this time,
these people always lurked behind the scenes to yield their clubs. Many of
my readers may recall that twenty years ago when my first Kennedy
assassination book came out, The Texas Connection: the Assassination of
John F. Kennedy, the treatment that I received for my opinions was major
media blacklisting. In fact, I still remember the time that I was invited to
appear in New York for a national morning television show, appearing, and
then being told by the producer just before airtime that "a call just came in
from the powers above" and that he had been ordered not to allow me on
the air to discuss the topic of my book.
Fortunately things have changed since then and will continue to
change, especially with the recent deaths of LBJ's widow and his top aide.
In recent polls; a large contingent of Americans now believe that LBJ, in
some capacity, was involved in President Kennedy's death. This probably
explains why those remaining in the Johnson camp have now decided that
since their behind the scenes intimidation no longer works, they now must
resort to public threats in an attempt to try to preserve historical fiction.
In this book, I analyze the surrounding facts to the assassination
confirmed by witnesses and documentary proof. The book starts with the
seeds to the assassination, which involves the mob placing Johnson on the
Kennedy presidential ticket to hedge their bet of backing Kennedy in the
event of his untimely death due to Addison's disease, tracks Vice President
Johnson to the doorsteps of a known mob meeting in Miami before JFK's
death, and then ultimately follows the rewards bestowed upon the
participants after the fact. And, you should note that some of the rewards
that were supplied were mind boggling! I believe that the result produces
a "common sense" end to the assassination mystery.
But, what do I know? Just enjoy the read!
