Did LBJ and the CIA have JFK assassinated?

Oh, people have talked. Former CIA agent E. Howard Hunt, when he thought he was dying, made a deathbed confession on tape. He calls himself "a benchwarmer" in the assassination, and he names LBJ, CIA agent David Morales, and CIA agent Cord Meyer (whose ex-wife was a mistress of JFK) among the culprits. (There is a photo of a man in a trench coat who is dead ringer for Hunt, crossing Elm Street to the Grassy Knoll right after the shooting.) Two witnesses told HSCA investigator Gaeton Fonzi that the CIA's Morales once went on a drunken tirade about JFK and said, "We took care of that son of a bitch, didn't we?" According to his brother, CIA agent David Atlee Phillips admitted on his deathbed that he was in Dallas that day. Anti-Castro activist and CIA asset John Martino reportedly told his wife, "They're going to kill him when he gets to Dallas." But hey, the CIA had some Mob help, right? (Like using a Mob flunky named Jack Ruby.) According to Mob lawyer Frank Ragano, Mob boss Santo Trafficante said shortly before his death that he and Carlos Marcello (whose territory included Dallas) set up the assassination.

 

The Mob lost alot of money when Castro took Cuba. They are reportedly a vengeful organization. Did the CIA blame Kennedy for the half-hearted Bay Of Pigs Failed invasion? Was LBJ a blood-thirsty SOB?

 

He most likely was involved in the assassination and escalated a war that the population didn’t want and he didn’t try to win. I’d say that qualifies as a blood-thirsty SOB

 

That's what Morales was ranting about. (He was involved not only in the Bay of Pigs, but the overthrow of the (democratic) Guatemalan government, and the hunting down of Che Guevara.)

 

Too funny.... I literally went there yesterday!

 

Pepsi convention?

 

Nixon was there for the Pepsi convention, but saw fit to leave town before the shooting started. Which was just as well, since Nixon couldn't shoot straight anyway.
