The Origins of the So-called Warren Commission

The high school answer to the question about the origins of the so-called Warren Commission states that President Lyndon Johnson was its creator by Executive Order 11130. While the answer is not technically wrong, it is weak and naïve. The true creators of the commission were the murderers who needed an official vehicle for propagating their cover-up.

 

Donald Gibson plowed fertile fields when he produced his story about the etiology of the Warren Commission for his 1999 book The Kennedy Assassination Cover-up. Using then recently released documents, he pieced together the steps taken by the murderers to invoke the commission, which required heavy lobbying of Johnson to change his mind about such an investigative body.

 

Johnson initially objected, believe it or not, on the constitutional grounds that the murder occurred within the state of Texas within the city of Dallas and was therefore properly a local matter, although he could see his way to insert FBI assistance into those investigations.

 

Whether Johnson truly objected to a presidential commission is hard to know for certain because he knew full well that Kennedy was murdered by a high level cabal of which he was a part. The very fact that Johnson ducked before the first shot was fired in the Dealey Plaza ambush is sufficient proof of the vice president's foreknowledge of the murder, and consequently its managers.

 

Perhaps Johnson opposed the federal approach because he felt that he could control events easier in Texas than he could in Washington - especially in the face of an adversarial national press. He may have believed that the fewer constitutional violations he made would in the end minimize closer scrutiny of the final product. In any event he fell into line within a period of about 2 days.

 

In the official documents, Johnson is found stating his strong objection to a federal investigation on November 24 and 25, 1963. However forces were soon arrayed against him which persuaded him to empanel The President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy on November 29, 1963.

 

The murderers were petrified of numerous concurrent investigations on account of the possibility of them uncovering some or all of the truth. With the glare of television cameras, the investigation could easily go into directions proving most uncomfortable for The Establishment murderers who ordered the assassination of the president and who were prepared to go to any lengths to protect their secrets.

 

In fact one of the smoking guns proving that there was a conspiracy to murder the president was the desperate attempts to quell such rumors. Memos from Assistant Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach references these fears - especially in his famous November 25 memo making it clear that the public must be convinced that Oswald alone murdered the president. Why must the public be so convinced 3 days after the murder? The police can rarely solve a bank robbery in as much time, so why should a murder of the head of state of the most powerful nation on earth be solved so quickly? The imperative is clearly the result of a cover-up.

 

The men involved in changing the president's mind were part of a closely knit cabal of establishment eminences whose names include Joseph Alsop, Eugene Rostow, Dean Acheson, Nicholas Katzenbach, J Edgar Hoover, Abe Fortas, Katherine Graham, Dean Rusk, Bill Moyers, Alfred Friendly, and Russell Wiggins.

 

Gibson identifies Rostow as the source of the idea of a presidential commission, but it is entirely possible that the idea came from Acheson. Either way, neither Katzenbach nor Johnson were the sources of the idea, with the president requiring substantial persuasion by Alsop to turn the corner in relenting to the commission. We suspect that much of this was theater, but as noted above, Johnson only objected in detail rather than in substance to the idea of a cover-up.

 

Hoover, for his part, was opposed to the idea because he felt that with too many chefs in the kitchen something would go awry. The FBI director felt that an FBI report given directly to the president would be sufficient to shut down the matter quickly by asserting that Oswald was the lone assassin. Given Johnson's and Hoover's close relationship, it is natural that Johnson would side with his partner in crime in preferring an FBI-only solution to the cover-up.

 

Acheson however made it clear - in so many words - to Johnson that the purpose of the presidential commission was to launder FBI information. The FBI would gather information, and the commission would use or ignore it as needed to produce the a priori conclusions.

 

At the end of the day, the commission consisted of a majority of reliable participants in the murder and its cover-up. Allen Dulles, John J McCloy, Gerald Ford, and Earl Warren were the reliable members who would guarantee the pre-fabricated outcome. Token opposition would come from Long and Boggs, while Cooper offered fake opposition. None of the dissent was included in the final report contrary to assurances otherwise.

 

For those dear readers wondering why we refer to the president's commission as the so-called Warren commission, our answer is that Warren had nothing to do with the creation of the commission or its operations. It was run by Dulles and McCloy who were acting for their crime bosses. Warren was simply an eminence front who was ordered to play along to stay alive.

 

While a few of the names we mentioned may have been compartmentally manipulated to participate in the call for a presidential committee to investigate the murder, we are certain that Rostow, Acheson, Katzenbach, and Alsop were part of the murder cabal. The others may have been part of the cover-up only, but further research is required to clarify their involvements in murdering the president.

Lyndon Johnson American Nero

All of America's worst presidents started with Lyndon Johnson who as we shall see was a psychopathic murderer.

George Reedy (1917 - 1999) worked for Lyndon Johnson from 1951-1965, serving last as his press secretary as Johnson was giving the plutocrats the war they wanted, his gratitude for saving him the embarrassment of his multitudinous scandals.

While Reedy has some blind spots in understanding the politics of the time which colored Johnson's vile psychology, he provided deep insights into the man's psychosis.

Historians like Robert Caro and Robert Dallek gloss over Johnson's heinous behavior; behavior which should have removed him from office under the 25th amendment to the constitution. Some how these men can comment on his transgressions, yet paint him as a great man. He was a small, vile, vindictive man who got to the oval office through murdering his boss - the old fashioned Roman way.

Reedy's memoirs are filled with execrable behaviors of Johnson which ultimately explain why Johnson could send American boys to their deaths and suffering in Viet Nam, to say nothing of murdering men - and his sister - in cold blood.

 

Regarding his manners and contempt for people:

There was no sense in which he could be described as a pleasant man. His manners were atrocious- not just slovenly but frequently calculated to give offense. Relaxation was something he did not understand and would not accord to others. He was a bully who would exercise merciless sarcasm on people who could not fight back but could only take it. Most important, he had no sense of loyalty- at least, not the kind of loyalty I learned on the Irish Near North Side of Chicago, where life was bearable only because people who had very little in the way of wordly goods had very much in the way of mutual trust. To Johnson, loyalty was a one-way street: all take on his part and all give on the part of everyone else- his family, his friends, his supporters.[Reedy, p. x]

 

Regarding his language:

"As a rule, his language colorful, pointed, and what can most charitably be described as "earthy." His "humor" was based chiefly on the contents of toilet bowls and he was addicted to "pie-in-the-face" practical jokes. His favorite spectator sport was watching bovine copulation and he gloried in summoning fastidious males to his bathroom, where conference and excretion could be intermingled. His consumption of beverage alcohol was for purposes other than sacramental and in quantities that did not accord St. Paul's "a little wine for thy stomach's sake." [Reedy, p.34-35]

 Regarding his drinking and abusiveness

The drinking bouts became increasingly heavy and increasingly frequent. When he was with staff members, there would usually be a point at which he would launch a tirade reviling an assistant for a long series of fancied wrongs and assumed inadequacies. ...

They were invariably preceded by a wild drinking bout. He was not an alcoholic or a heavy drinker in the commonly accepted sense of those words. But there were occasions when he would pour down Scotch and soda in a virtually mechanical motion in rhythm with the terrible tension building visibly within him and communicating itself to his listeners. The warning signs were unmistakable and those with past experience tried to get away before the inevitable flood of invective. As they found out, it was rarely possible. [Reedy 56-57]

Regarding the inevitability of the Viet Nam disaster:

The trouble was that Johnson himself became a victim of the Gulf of Tonkin resolution. It froze him into a totally uncompromising position where he had no alternatives- or thought he had no alternative- to feeding more and more draftees into the meat grinder. He had never, in his entire life, learned to confess error, and this quality- merely amusing or exasperating in a private person- resulted in cosmic tragedy for a president. He had to prove that he had been right all along. And this meant that he had to do more of what he had been doing despite the demonstrable failure of his Vietnam policies.[Reedy, p. 165]

 

In 1965, at the outset of the massive escalation in Viet Nam, and after the military service chiefs gave Johnson their unsolicited advice after the butcher Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara refused to listen to them, Johnson exploded in fury:

then suddenly discarding the calm, patient demeanor he had maintained throughout the meeting, whirled to face them and exploded.

I almost dropped the map. He screamed obscenities, he cursed them personally, he ridiculed them for coming to his office with their "military advice." Noting that it was he who was carrying the weight of the free world on his shoulders, he called them filthy names-shitheads, dumb shits, pompous assholes-and used "the F-word" as an adjective more freely than a Marine in boot camp would use it. He then accused them of trying to pass the buck for World War III to him. It was unnerving, degrading.

Robert Morrow quoted the above excerpt from The Day It Became the Longest War.

 

From this point forward, Johnson, in order to prove his generals wrong, would never reconsider their advice, and continued to throw good money after bad, and to send more men to their deaths to salvage his losing hopeless war. But in a sad way, the Americans got exactly what they deserved, and we give our deepest sympathies to the men who lost their lives and sanity proving this American Nero wrong.

Research Note: Johnson and Rockefeller Connections

Relatively little has been understood by most Americans regarding the close relationship between Nelson Rockefeller and Lyndon Johnson, but it is critical in understanding their conspiracy to murder President Kennedy.

 

After discovering the close links between the Republican and Democrat politicians, it is now easy to see how they collaborated to murder a president, each man representing the 2 most powerful interests in the crime.

 

Researchers have long known that powerful interests in New York and Texas provided the means and funding to depose the president. But the actual connecting points have never been properly identified. We can state that the primary actors were the two under discussion. In addition to representing the powerful oil and industrial factions, Johnson also represented the Jewish cabal involved in the murder.

 

Naïve Americans who believe the silly nonsense of the two party system and in the demarcations between the 2 parties can move on to another website - this information is clearly not for you. Whatever pretenses of rivalry are displayed to the public are merely to indulge the plutocrats' sense of theater and their contempt for Americans in general.

 

Establishment stalwart Robert Dallek wrote the following insightful paragraph in his book, Flawed Giant, about Johnson:

 

Toward the end of April [1968], Johnson invited the Rockefellers to the White House for dinner, where he urged the governor to declare for the Republican nomination. “He was very friendly about ’68, and very supportive of me for ’68,” Rockefeller said. Johnson also told him he would never campaign against him. Happy Rockefeller remembered how during that evening Johnson urged Rockefeller to run. “He did want Nelson to be President,” she said. Johnson encouraged others to back Rockefeller as well. On April 7, after Irwin Miller, a prominent member of “Republicans for Johnson” in 1964 had asked whether the president would object to his chairing a Draft Rockefeller Committee, LBJ have Miller “a full speed go-ahead.”

This forces us to make a final correction to our assessment regarding Johnson's role in the murder of Kennedy. We had finally, and even recently, concluded that Johnson was a secondary supporting player based upon his unexpected abstention from the 1968 presidential campaign. We thought that he may have feared continuing in office, with his life possibly in danger.

 

The truth appears to be that Johnson was deferring to his partner in crime for the high office, especially since his stock had fallen to all time lows, and a good gambler knows when to fold.

 

This closeness between the 2 men was predicated upon intersections of their interests in politics, and more importantly, in intelligence, going back at least to the 1940s. Rockefeller's ties to the CIA and psychological warfare operations is well known, and without doubt Johnson fell into Rockefeller's orbit on this matter.

 

We also recently published information provided to Robert Stich by Colonel Trenton Parker, formerly of the CIA Pegasus group, that Parker had heard tapes of several men discussing the Kennedy assassination, which tapes were supposedly given to Congressman Larry McDonald, possession of which led directly to his demise.

 

Thus the ring leaders in the murder of Kennedy have been finally identified, and the heads of the major branches of the conspiracy emanating from New York and Texas. The secondary lesson is that the rivalry between the 2 political parties is histrionics for naïve people.

Did Nixon Murder Johnson?

Writing in Veterans Today, columnist Trowbridge Ford suggests that Richard Nixon was behind the murder of President Lyndon Johnson.

 

While we had accepted the conventional reports that Johnson died of natural causes stemming from his long battle with heart disease, we had received reports that we had been lied to yet again. Following up on the leads, we came across Ford's assessment.

 

Johnson died unexpectedly 2 days after the second inauguration of Richard Nixon, on January 22, 1973. According to Trowbridge, substantial evidence exists that the death was not from natural causes, nor an accident.

 

The motivation for the alleged murder was to keep Johnson silent about the November Surprise for which Spiro Agnew was a central player. The Nixon campaign had persuaded South Vietnamese president Nguyen van Thieu to decline the peace terms brokered by Johnson in the waning days of his presidency. Thieu accepted the Nixon offer which resulted in yet another expansion of the war into Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand.

 

In the meantime, Nixon had obtained evidence that Johnson had ordered his 1968 campaign plane bugged, a suspicion he tried to get former FBI Assistant Director Cartha DeLoach to confirm. Nixon failed to obtain the corroboration he sought, but thought he had enough to blackmail Democrat senators from pursuing the establishment of the Ervin Committee to investigate Watergate.

 

Nixon's attempts to quiet Johnson on both issues failed, especially when the evidence about the plane bugging did not materialize. Johnson was livid when he found out about the sabotage of the Vietnamese peace treaty, threatening to expose some of its details.

 

The Nixon White House entered panic mode, looking for an agent to silence permanently the former president. The services of CIA murderer Sydney Gottlieb were solicited to deliver the lethal blow. Gottlieb's specialty was murder through drugs, a practice he developed over the decades when murdering foreign heads of state of whom the CIA did not approve, such as Patrice Lumumba of the Congo. But there were many more.

 

The intermediary, perhaps through some level of ignorance, was Nixon's personal physician Dr Walter Tkash, who also had been Eisenhower's personal physician. It just so happened that the drug Dilantin had become the miracle drug, something which Tkash had prescribed Nixon by the boatload, so to speak.

 

But Gottlieb went out of his way to strike up a friendship with Tkash, with the purpose of using him for yet another "Executive Action."

 

Although it is toxic and injurious to healthy people - having deleterious affects on Nixon's health - it is particularly lethal to people with coronary ailments such as those suffered by Johnson. Tkash accompanied Johnson back to Texas, and probably administered drug - either wittingly or unwittingly - to Johnson which induced his coma and death.

 

Gottlieb hurriedly retired from the agency shortly thereafter, but not before destroying mountains of evidence pertaining to MK-ULTRA and other barbaric projects of the CIA such as Project ORD.

 

The case presented by Ford seems plausible, having both motivation and means. If Johnson was murdered, it was well planned and quite believable given his history of heart problems. If Johnson was murdered, he got what he deserved due to his involvement and cover-up of the Kennedy assassination and sinking of the USS Liberty. As Johnson told The Atlantic Monthly in 1971, "We were running Murder, Inc. down there."

Did Johnson Murder Kennedy?

Over the past few years a spate of books and articles has emerged pointing the finger of guilt at Lyndon Johnson for the murder of President John Kennedy in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963. We believe that the case is overdone, with the very distinct possibility that Johnson is only guilty of complicity in the coup's aftermath in order to preserve his life.

 

We had veered from that position after initially stating it a few years ago, when we were swept up with parts of the Johnson did it hysteria. We never believed that Johnson was the mastermind, but we came to believe that he was a cheer leader and possible participant in The Big Event. Much circumstantial evidence supported a plausible case against Johnson.

 

Some of the key evidences against Johnson include his abrupt and brutal eviction of Jackie Kennedy from the White House after her husband’s assassination, his complete reversal of Kennedy’s Vietnam withdrawal policy, his many crimes in which he was implicated vis a vis Bobby Baker, Billy Sol Estes, Mac Wallace, and legions more, all of which gave Johnson strong motivation to replace Kennedy as commander-in-chief. And let’s not forget the story that Kennedy planned to dump Johnson in the 1964 race.

 

There was also the close association of Johnson with John Connally who was deeply involved in the crime, thus creating guilt by association.

 

Recently we came across material from John Hankey which returned us to our earlier Johnson position, namely that Johnson was caught up in events over which he had little control. Hankey’s proposition is all the more attractive due to the shrill and inundating chorus of claimants charging Johnson with guilt, recalling to mind the Shakespearean line, “Methinks the lady doth protest too much.”

 

This relates closely to the allegation by Hunt in his so called death bed confession that Johnson was guilty. As Hankey notes, this is probably a sign of innocence, as Hunt, the mother of all scum bags and murderers, was simply lying one last lie as he gave up his last putrid breath.

 

To put a blunt point on Hunt’s moral and criminal squalor, Hankey relates how Hunt planted forged memos in the National Archives documenting Kennedy’s authorization to murder South Vietnam’s Diem. The truth is that the CIA in an act of treason and rebellion defied Kennedy by murdering Diem.

 

Hankey notes that Johnson’s withdrawal from the 1968 election is completely at odds with power lust driving someone to murder. Why would Johnson give up the presidency so easily if he spent and risked so much, including murder, to obtain it?

 

Johnson’s tapes indicate contempt for the military brass, men who could easily be mistaken for cave dwelling troglodytes. Johnson wrote that the war in Viet Nam was an unwinnable and foolish squandering of men. Yet he went along with it. But the larger question remains - why would Johnson speak ill of men with whom he was supposed to conspire for an aggression he found so foolish?

 

In conversations with Senator Russell Long, whose arm he twisted to serve on the Warren Commission, Johnson expressed that he didn’t believe the lone gunman theory, and on rare occasion expressed privately his complete contempt for the Warren Commission Report.

 

One could argue that Johnson was patronizing Long, but this comment is one of a string suggesting that Johnson had no confidence in the lone nut theory, and thus was not a member of the cabal which murdered the president.

 

The problem is that Johnson was, like E Howard Hunt, a scumbag and easy target. But being a scumbag is not the same as being a murderer, but made him an easy target for Bush Crime Syndicate member Barr McClellan who painted Johnson as the murderer.

 

The best explanation of Johnson’s actions is that he was caught in a vice. In order to preserve his own life, he needed to play his role as the coup leaders' stool pigeon in hope that the corrupt Nazi regime would not end his career the way it ended his predecessor's.

 

Another story Hankey reports is that of a conversation with Connally and Johnson where the former tells the latter that Oswald was an agent of Cuba’s Castro, and thus grounds for invasion of Cuba. This argument is precisely what the murderers promulgated but Johnson told Connally he would have nothing to do with it, strongly implying that Johnson was not a member of the murder cabal because he was not "on message."

 

More significantly it shows that Johnson was not blackmailable on this point as he would indeed be if he were part of the conspiracy against Kennedy.

 

In a turn of the tables against Johnson, Hankey suggests with credible logic that Johnson’s ability to pass Medicare when previous attempts failed is that Johnson had blackmail information on many Republican Congressmen who were in some way associated with the murder. Hankey cites Paul Kangas on this angle, but we admit that it is speculative.

 

In perhaps the highlight of his brief on Johnson, Hankey strongly suggests that Johnson was murdered. The former president did not aid his cause when he told the The Atlantic in June 1971 that the US was running Murder, Inc in the Caribbean, most likely short hand for the larger murder enterprise of the CIA in the United States in 1963 and beyond.

 

Hankey quotes historian Stephen Ambrose's introduction to the Bob Haldeman biography that if Johnson did not call off investigations into improprieties in the 1972 campaign that Nixon would reveal that Johnson had bugged Nixon’s plane in the 1968 campaign. But Johnson had bugged Nixon’s plane because he found out that Rockefeller thug Henry Kissinger was in Vietnam sabotaging the peace talks just as George Bush would do with Jimmy Carter’s attempt to release hostages prior to the 1980 election.

 

Johnson then threatened, according to his diary, on January 12, 1973, that he would release information about Nixon and … Unfortunately the Carter NSC excised the information due to “national security.” The only threat to national domestic security was revelation that Nixon was involved in sabotaging the Paris Peace Talks. Or did it also include the “Bay of Pigs thing” – the Kennedy murder?

 

When Johnson died 10 days later, it was no accident suggests Hankey. His silence was required and thus obtained.

 

We give our endorsement of the Hankey scenario because it fits the facts better than other theories and accounts for the accusers' vehement assaults on Johnson – who is no saint by any stretch of the imagination. We thus come full circle in our view of the case, proving the old adage that the first guess is usually the best guess.

Who Was Malcolm Wallace and for Whom Did He Murder?

Malcolm Wallace (1921 – 1971) is a rather obscure name in American history who made his way through life murdering political opponents of Lyndon Johnson. It also turns out that he arranged the sniper’s nest in the Texas School Book Depository.

 

Wallace’s biography is readily available on other internet sites, so we won’t belabor it here. We will labor over his murders since they are pivotal to understanding American politics of the 1950s and 1960s. It is unfortunate that this scumbag lived so long.

 

Mac Wallace was Lyndon Johnson’s hatchet man for eliminating noisome opposition. He got his start murdering in 1951 when he murdered Douglas Kinser, the owner of a miniature golf course, and a paramour of Lyndon Johnson’s slutty sister Josefa with whom Wallace was having an affair  simultaneously with Kinser. When Kinser asked Josefa for a loan from her brother, the request was deemed blackmail, requiring – you guessed it – a cleanup operation.

 

Wallace went to the golf course to shoot Kinser full of holes, after which he was arrested thanks to the alertness of a patron who was able to get his license plate number. The jury convicted him of first degree murder, but through jury intimidation and intervention by the Judge Charles O Betts, an accessory after the fact, he was given a 5 year suspended sentence after which he walked from the court house a free man.

 

Wallace’s next murder victim was probably Josefa herself, who had returned home from a Christmas party at her brother’s house on December 24, 1961 around 11:45 PM, but was found dead the following morning, having died around 3 AM supposedly of a brain hemorrhage.

 

Yet another Wallace victim was Henry Marshall who tenaciously pursued the corruption of Billie Sol Estes, another Lyndon Johnson crony who had abused the cotton allotments designed to restrict cotton production. Marshall was the Department of Agriculture investigator who refused to be deterred from the investigation, even when offered lucrative promotions.

 

On June 3, 1961, Wallace bludgeoned Marshall with a blunt object, shot him 5 times with the victim's rifle, and then pumped him full of carbon monoxide from his truck, after which he hauled the corpse to a remote location of his farm where he was found dead. The corrupt sheriff and murder accessory, Howard Stegall, immediately ruled it a suicide, which was just as quickly confirmed by the Justice of the Peace Lee Farmer who saw no pictures of the victim.

 

Absolutely no crime scene photographs, finger prints, or other investigation, including an autopsy, were performed into the crime. Indeed there was no time to waste on investigating when there was work to do in washing and polishing Marshall’s pickup truck by sun up. The widow Sybil and brother Robert were finally able to have the body exhumed for an autopsy many months later, upon which the examiner ruled the cause of death murder. However, there was to be no justice in this life.

 

Murder accessory after the fact ‘Tommy G. McWilliams, the FBI agent in charge of the Henry Marshall investigation, came to the conclusion that Marshall had indeed committed suicide. He wrote: "My theory was that he shot himself and then realized he wasn't dead."’, so he tried carbon monoxide inhalation. Not even the writers of Saturday Night Live could make this up.

 

This summary only touches on the murders of Mac Wallace, but there is one more of note. Wallace’s finger print was found on a box on the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository which Kennedy’s murderers attempted to frame Lee Oswald. Oswald’s finger prints could be found nowhere, yet what is Mac Wallace’s doing on a box?

 

We do not have evidence that Wallace shot at the president, but we are absolutely convinced that he was involved in the murder of Kennedy, with Johnson’s full blessing. Nathan Darby, a Certified Latent Print Examiner, confirmed beyond doubt that the finger print belonged to Wallace. Given Wallace's legend as a hit man, there is strong reason to believe that Wallace was one of the president's assassins.

 

So we have yet another presidential murderer identified. As for Wallace’s final ending, he was found dead in a car “accident” as the result of yet another clean-up operation, when his demands for more money for his involvement in the Kennedy murder were answered with carbon monoxide pumped into the driver’s cabin while he drove into Pittsburgh, TX – a sort of poetic justice for the scumbag.

Profiles In Murder: Albert Thomas

Albert Thomas (April 12, 1898 - February 15, 1966) is not exactly a household name, but he carved out a place in political trivia as the man who winked at Lyndon Johnson aboard Air Force 1 just after he had taken the oath of office. We believe that Thomas was an accessory to the murder of President John F Kennedy.

 

Thomas represented Texas’ 8^th Congressional district from 1937 to 1966, a district in the metro Houston area. He had become a powerful Congressman assuming the position of Chairman of the House Appropriation Committee’s sub-committee on defense appropriations, a role which enabled him to steer the Manned Spacecraft Center to Houston.

 

Thomas was a man whom Kennedy needed to court because his support was required to advance his program of space exploration, an important plank in his presidential campaign. Thus when the subject of traveling to Houston came up, word was put out that Thomas was singing his swan song due to the ravages of cancer. His supporters organized a party to honor him, and it was a homage which the president could not afford to miss on both political and public relations grounds.

 

The men who were guiding the president to Texas needed this hook to guarantee that he would be in Dallas when they wanted him. The men were Lyndon Johnson and John Connally both of whom handled the details of positioning Kennedy exactly where they wanted him in Texas for the CIA kill teams. Connally played hardball with the president’s advisors who endured his insulting and arrogant manner of manhandling them, threatening at one point that he would not participate in the visit if his demands for the selection of Friday’s luncheon site were not met.

 

When Johnson was on Air Force 1 taking the oath of office after participating in the murder of his boss, Thomas was there to give him a wink after the proceedings concluded. The unspoken message was that they had succeeded in their coup and that Johnson was advancing according to plan.

 

This gesture was unknown for years until David Lifton published it in his book Best Evidence. Lifton accidentally received the photo from the Lyndon Johnson Library which unwittingly released the image taken by Cecil Stoughton. In a subsequent interview with Lifton, Stoughton expressed shock that he had the photo as Stoughton thought it had been buried in government files.

 

The Johnson library subsequently “lost” the negative which has not been seen since. The “loss” of the negative was damage control because the wink indeed revealed a story of two collaborators in the murder. The Library would have no other reason to “lose” the negative.

 

As for Thomas’ illness, he was indeed ill but managed to server more than 2 more years before dying. He played the pity card for all it was worth in seducing Kennedy to Texas just as Johnson maneuvered it through Connally.

 

In all fairness, we should note that one Kennedy advisor testified before the Warren Commission that Kennedy was fond of the Congressman, so may have been happy to attend the testimonial dinner in the Congressman’s honor. Our suspicion is that the admiration was not mutual.

First Impressions: Mary's Mosaic

First James Douglass, then Mark Lane, and now Peter Janney joins to make a trilogy of works which relentlessly and incontrovertibly makes the case that the CIA murdered President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, TX. Janney paints the faces on the otherwise dark impersonal forces whose ghoulish actions proved once and for all that America is ruled by an oligarchy whose Georgetown values do not correspond with those of Main Street.

While other researchers have meticulously developed the forensic and legal arguments to indict and convict the CIA, in Mary's Mosaic Janney develops the psychological angle driving the CIA to murder a man in cold blood before a mortified nation. By naming names and profiling the socio-economic character of the criminals, we see how their minds worked to inevitably compel them to the murder of the century without so much as a crocodile tear.

One of the common characteristics of the CIA leadership is its patrician Ivy League pedigree. Nearly all of its leaders had alma maters such as Yale, Princeton, Harvard and sported, either genuinely or artificially, intellectual affectations. Quite frequently these Ivy alumni had known each other from prestigious boarding schools, exclusive social connections, and other privileged networks begun earlier in life.

Janney describes CIA senior executive Cord Meyer (Yale) as a fallen star, a man whose writing was Pulitzer caliber and whose artistic sensibilities were snuffed out in the disillusion of his idealistic dreams for world peace – a dream he once shared with his wife Mary Pinchot (Vassar). James Angleton (Yale), the godfather of the Meyer children, receives similar treatment as a man of letters, but who most likely did not have the sensitivities of the young Meyer.

The CIA leadership, goons that they were, hobnobbed in high society, a vantage from which Janney holds a fine view. His father, Wistar, hailed from a financially prosperous family who socialized with his peers while plotting and committing murders for "national security."

As noted, the social networks of these men encompassed not just their inbred Ivy League leadership. The Meyers had frequent intercourse with the Kennedys who were every bit as financially and socially credentialed as Allen Dulles, Wistar Janney, or James Angleton. The Kennedys would of course prove to be the cup of trembling for this crust of society when it ate two of its own.

Mary’s Mosaic encompasses far more than a narrative of her life and murder. Janney attempts to colorize the personalities and events swirling in official and unofficial Washington, and particularly among the beautiful people of Georgetown. It is here where the book makes its distinctive contribution to the Kennedy corpus – the time honored love, hate, and sex of power politics.

Mary (Pinchot) Meyer stars in the story of her own murder and that of John Kennedy. Janney offers convincing evidence that she and Kennedy shared a substantial relationship based upon love and respect rather than hormones. What made a tomcat like Kennedy settle down for Mary when he had a wife with glamour and intelligence?

Mary was neither an ordinary Georgetown socialite nor an ordinary woman by the standards of the mid 20^th century. She might be described as a free spirited libertine who respected nothing of ordinary conventions. She took lovers as she chose, expressed views without discretion, and defied any sense of female orthodoxy even though by all accounts she possessed feminine mystique in abundance. She was quickly developing into an artist of substantial stature at the time of her death. She combined many of  the attributes of an intellectual and artistic person, consequently drawing an avid and bewitched following.

Kennedy and Meyer most likely started their affair in the very late 1950s when the Kennedys moved in as neighbors to the Meyers in Virginia outside Washington. Although the dalliance continued into the White House, and as a secret to Americans, it was no secret to Jackie who had learned to grin and bear the infidelities of her husband.

Mary was certainly in the vanguard of the cultural revolution of the 1960s, becoming a devotee of Timothy Leary and his hallucinogenic remedies, something which Janney deplorably glamorizes. He provides reasonable, though inconclusive, evidence that she had proselytized a group of about 8 Georgetown society women into LSD cells who in turn were influencing their husbands to drop bellicose virtues for peaceable ones.

More surprisingly, Janney makes the reasonable case that Meyer “turned on” the President to marijuana and LSD in a couple of experimental drug trysts, activities coinciding with his reinvention as a peace champion from a cold warrior. It is this intervention and influence over Kennedy which I believe pushed the oligarchs over the edge.

The young, photogenic, and charismatic Kennedy was never a favorite among the power brokers of Washington – especially of Georgetown. Although a war hero himself and of the same social class as the troglodytes of the CIA, he was viewed by them as a parvenu lightweight who lacked the gravitas or time in grade to be president – especially when he threatened the prosperity of the military industrial complex.

It is without doubt – to me at least – that these men, heavy boozers, womanizers, and chain smokers,  felt little kindred to Kennedy and felt that his flirtations with drugs justified the application of “executive action”, a CIA euphemism for murder.

Janney depicts the minds of many of these men as “patriotic” and acting in the best interests of their country. Indeed, most, if not all, of the early CIA leadership were World War 2 veterans who wished to spare their sons the gory battlefields and deaths they endured in combat. That was, at least, the visible rationale for their actions when they were not groveling before Wall Street titans to advance their masters’ financial interests.

These CIA leaders were national chauvinists in the extreme, brooking no challenge to American conquest and hegemony. Thus it mattered little how many lives they snuffed out to maintain the empire. The callous contempt for life was best expressed by Lyndon Johnson when he answered a reporter’s question at a party about why he wanted to fight in Viet Nam by pulling out his penis with exclamation, “Because of this!”

I surmise that the Georgetown junta determined that drug usage was a severe threat to national security and that Kennedy did not have enough good sense to keep his sexual organs away from women who would lead him down a primrose path to destruction. So they off and killed him they did.

Other fascinating insights are provided in Mary’s Mosaic. Janney tells of Washington Post eminence Ben Bradlee’s involvement with the murder of Mary Myer and his complete and total exposure as a CIA man, whose rapid rise at the Post was due in large measure to his perjury at the murder trial of Mary Meyer in 1965.

Janney also partially rehabilitates Gregory Douglas, the JFK research “pariah” who first exposed the notorious operation Northwoods and Operation Zipper, the CIA plot which planned and covered-up the murder of John Kennedy. He shows that Douglas’ information corresponds favorably with his own research and divulgences obtained from high ranking CIA officials such as Robert Crowley.

One of Janney’s named sources also admitted that the CIA murdered tens of thousands of people because they had to be moved out of the way and that the news is so faked as to be useless.

Calling Mary’s Mosaic a masterpiece would probably be as flatulent as some of the euphonies paid to Mary Meyer in the book, but at the same time, this work is perhaps the most important treatment of the murder because it exposes the names, psychology, and the unbridled arrogance of this still unaccountable organization of international terror.
