Do you think that Lyndon B. Johnson was involved in the assassination of JFK?

The theory that Lyndon B. Johnson was involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy is among one of the top accepted theories. As Vice-President at the time of the assination Johnson had much to gain with the death of Kennedy. It was also under wide speculation during that time that Kennedy was planning to drop Johnson during the next election because he was a liability. Also, prior to Kennedy's death Johnson was the subject of four major criminal investigations involving government contract violations, misappropriation of funds, money laundering and bribery. All of these "disappeared" after November 22nd.

It's Lee Harvey Oswald, and he shot JFK (John F. Kennedy), not LBJ, on Friday, November 22nd, 1963 in Dallas, Texas.\n\nHowever, it does not say why Oswald killed Kennedy.

We'll never know the truth-a lot of records needed are sealed until 2050. Seems there's something they don't want us to know. There's so many theories and I know someone did murder the President besides Oswald. To make it more confusing, I saw some stuff on LBJ-there's a video of his mistress of 20 years that was pretty believable. And documents to back that up. I know there were plenty that didn't like JFK and it was probably a combination of theories. The LBJ theory has a few points in its' favor. LBJ was part of a powerful wealthy group of mostly Texas Oil guys. Some interesting names that include Nixon. LBJ became president and the oil guys got some handsome oil subsidies that JFK wanted to get rid of. There are those(including McNamara, JFK's Defense secretary) that felt JFK would never have escalated Vietnam. To make it weirder,, Bobby Kennedy probably would have been President in '69 but was also assasinated, and Nixon became President instead. I'll watch the other video-seems big oil sure could've been a factor.

The US Govt. I'm convinced. Don't have the proof, but one day I will. It's just too much build up for it not to be the govt. Why seal the FBI files till 2007 and now they have been pushed till 2013. WHy? If it was just Oswald? Then RObert Kennedy gets assassin too in '68 in the Ambasador Hotel, strangely his route to the hotel's entrance was changed at the last minute. WHy have the JFK photos of his assassin been taken away from the public? As well as the any 8 mm cameras that people had, they were pushed aside and interrogated. Many eyewitnesses "disappeared". This doesn't happen when it's a murder. In the words of Malcolm X's daughter, "that is why it's called an assassin, because the government was involved"\n\nTry to get a hold of the original newspapers of the day after his assassin, it will state clearly the 3 bullet theory. I do not believe Cuba was involed in it like the author of JFK states so, but Oliver Stone also believes in this conspiracy theory.

Lyndon Baines Johnson (August 27, 1908 – January 22, 1973), often referred to as LBJ, was the 36th President of the United States (1963–1969). After serving a long career in the U.S. Congress, Johnson became the thirty-seventh Vice President; in 1963, he succeeded to the presidency following President John F. Kennedy's assassination. He was a major leader of the Democratic Party and as President was responsible for the passage of key civil rights legislation and Medicare, a major "War on Poverty", as well as the acceleration of the war in Vietnam. He was elected in a landslide in 1964 but his reelection bid in 1968 collapsed as his party fell apart, and he announced that he would not seek re-election.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, took place on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, USA at 12:30 PM Central Standard Time (18:30 UTC). Kennedy was fatally wounded by gunshots while riding in a presidential motorcade within Dealey Plaza. He was the fourth U.S. President to be assassinated, and the eighth to die while in office.\n\nAn official investigation by the Warren Commission was conducted over a 10-month period, and its report was published in September 1964, concluding that the assassin was Lee Harvey Oswald, an employee of the Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza. A later official investigation by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) was conducted from 1976 to 1979, and concluded that Oswald probably acted with at least one other person. The assassination is still the subject of widespread speculation, and has spawned a number of Kennedy assassination theories.

We may never know but I received these unsoliticited links today in my email, interestingly, the day after I saw the movie "Bobby" \n\n http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/112306A.shtml\n\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/newsnight/2006/11/who_shot_bobby_kennedy_1.html

I've read every book on the subject that I can find, and being a retired Detective, I have come to my own conclusions. There were two factors involved; organized crime and the Communist Cuban Government.\n\nFirst: Lee Harvey Oswald, when he enlisted and became a Military Air Traffic Controller, was described as being 5' 11" tall and having a "bull neck". Does that sound like the guy who was gunned down in Dallas?\n\nSecond: Allen Dulles was Head of the CIA until the Bay of Pigs and kennedy fired him. then he meraculously winds up on the Warren Commission.\n\nThird: Oswald is assigned to West Germany as an ATC at the base where the U-2 flights originated. He defects to the Soviet Union and all of a sudden the Soviets are able to shoot down Francis Gary Powers. Then Oswald is somehow able to un-defect and returns to the US with a Russian War Bride. Does this make sense?\n\nFourth: Oswald is sent to New Orleans to preach on street corners and is implicated in Kennedy's shooting. He supposedly used a rifle that was so poorly made you'd have a better chance of hitting someone if you threw it at him. Oswald started squawking about being a set-up patsy and he was shot to death by the owner of a strip club who was somehow allowed into an area of the Dallas PD that was off-limits to everyone else.\n\nFifth: Anyone who knows anything about firearms (I'm an NRA Distinguished Expert) could see from the Zapruder film that the kill shot was fired from in front of Kennedy and not behind. There's a whole lot of other things that could be said about vectors and trajectors in this instance but I'm not going that far into it right now.\n\nSixth: The real scenario begins when the motorcade made that strange turn into Dealy Plaza and entered the kill box, slowed to a crawl, and put the President smack in the middle of a three way crossfire. Here's how it was done:\n\nOne gunman was positioned in the 2nd floor west end of the Dal-tex building next to the School Book Depository. This gunman fired the round that hit Kennedy in the back. I believe that it was E. Howard Hunt, or at least, Hunt was there.\n\nOne gunman was behind the wood fence on the grassy knoll and fired the round that hit John Connolly. I believe that this was a French-Corsican mob hitman by the name of John paul Suetra.\n\nThe third gunman was on the bridge, in front of the motorcade. He was inside a manhole that had a drainage vent that overlooked Dealy Plaza. This is the guy who fired the shot that blew Kennedy's brains all over the trunk of the car. I believe that this was W.A. Harrelson, Woody harrelson's Father, who has been serving a life without parole sentence in Texas since the sixties, and who has never been allowed to speak publically. I doubt that he's still alive.\n\nThe Cabel Brothers were in this up to their eyeballs. One was the Military Commander of that District and ordered the troops to stand down (the Military was pissed over the Bay of Pigs thing) and the other brother was Mayor of Dallas and directed the investigation into the death.\n\nThere's lot and lots of books out there. Do a little research and you'll see that the legitimate government of the United States was overthrown by a criminal military coup on November 22, 1963.

Frankly I was not aware of this till now. But I did some 1 hour research for you question and here is what I found out.\n\nKennedy used "Castro-Card" to defeat Nixon as the Cold War was in full force. But he was unaware that the CIA had all planned and was more than happy to have the hawkish Kennedy to get elected.\n\nApparently Kennedy developed cold feet and tried to avoid "US Involvement" and did some utterly stupid changes to the plan which nothing but doomed the invasion. Its the worst fiasco to hit the Kennedy Administration.\n\nHere are some links with more material for your essay. If possible buy/rent that book "Decision for Disaster: Betrayal at the Bay of Pigs ". You will blow your peers' essays with your explosive view points...\n\nAll the Best. Please do message me as how you did and what score it fetched to you..\n\n.:Fishie:.

Yes. Andrew Johnson and Lyndon Johnson. No relation at all.

Yes, it's true it was reported there first.\n\nThe real killers (plural) were the right wing conservatives at that time. Kennedy was making this country too liberal for them, he didn't like the war and was trying to stop it, they liked it, it meant big money for the defense industry.\n\nHe also cared more about people than big business. so they murdered him and blamed it on some poor sap.\n\nJohnson, who replaced him as president and escalated the war was a political conservative. He and Senator Arlen Spector invented the "single bullet theory" to mislead the public into thinking it was just a lone assasin. People are so gullible.

Yeah it was the same people!! Your FU_KING Government on ALL 3 occasions.\nThe reason for JFK was because he was gunna pull all the Americian troops out of Vietnam. Bell Helecopters was almost broke @ the time, look @ what happened to them!! With the Vietnam war.\nJohnson said " you get me elected & i,ll give you your God Damn War" That Motherf_c_ker knew that the establishment had killed JFK & knew the heads of the Army Airforce & Navy could get him in to office.\nThey bumped Bobby Kennedy off to stop another Kennedy getting to be President.\nMLK was shot because he,d stirred up a real load of sh_t with the blacks so he had to go!!

A lot of "ifs" but here's my two cents:\n\n1. First off, I agree that he would not be idolized in the way he is today. A dead President can do no wrong. No scandals can touch him, no one can judge him harshly on his record. If anything, by dying he secured his place in history and American culture.\n\n2. I do *not* believe that Vietnam would not have happened as some people have suggested. Military assistance to Vietnam (in the form of military "advisors") began under the Kennedy administration. Perhaps, though, it would not have gone that far and Kennedy would have gotten out earlier. You have to take the global situation into account though. By that stage, the US and USSR were "locked in" to the Cold War and every inch of soil mattered.\n\n3. Johnson wouldn't have become President, that's for sure. For what it's worth, I think Johnson got a bad rap and a lot of good policies he implemented were forever overshadowed by Vietnam. \n\n4. Kennedy would have almost certainly won a second term. Hence, no Nixon as President, so Watergate wouldn't have happened either and the Republicans would have stayed out of power for at least another four years.\n\n5. His brother would have probably run after him, but at that stage it would be doubtful if the Kennedys would have enough credibility to keep the Presidency. Some scandal, indiscretion etc would have caught up to them or the country would simply be fed up.\n\nAs others have pointed out, the possiblities are endless - everyone probably has his own pet theory (as with the Kennedy asassination). My gut feeling is that world might have been a slightly better place, not necessarily because I liked him, but mostly because of the low caliber of people who followed in the Presidency.
