The author of this dark chronicle, Roger Stone, is a political strategist who played a key role in the elections of Ronald Regan, Richard Nixon and George HW Bush. He is also known for his personal style writing a column for the Huffington Post and its annual “Ten Best and Worst Dressed Men and Women in the World”.
how why
Stone delves into the why and how of the JFK assassination and smashes the other conspiracy theories to the bone. The other theories had no motive, but LBJ had the biggest motive of all for becoming president and helping his supporters in the Bell helicopter get rich.
present the case
LBJ was not only cowboying his way to the White House, but he was also avoiding near and personal destruction at the hands of John and Bobby Kennedy. Stone points the finger at LBJ, who scattered another eight murders to cover up his role in driving him to power sixteen in a coup unprecedented in modern times.
Richard Nixon knew
Nixon was absolutely convinced that LBJ was the mastermind of this bloody episode in American history because he recognized Jack Ruby as LBJ’s hired aide who committed another assassination directed by Johnson when Oswald was shot.
stone accusations
Roger Stone accuses J. Edgar Hoover, Gerald Ford, Arlen Specter for their roles in the cover-up. He also goes into great detail about why George HW Bush lied about being in the CIA and said he wasn’t in Dallas the day JFK was blown away when the truth is he was.
Many avenues investigated
Roger Stone’s excellent insight into LBJ the man, why he was called Landslide Lyndon, and his steadfast hatred for Bobby and Jack Kennedy is beyond reproach. He delves into Kennedy’s curse, his LBJ’s hated enemy, J. Edgar Hoover’s role in the sealed cover-up and the road to Watergate, who was involved and why. He even points to the man who shot him point-blank with an American-made dummy bullet.
Conclution
This detailed book on who knew what, when, the people involved in the bloody coup and why LBJ had the most to gain if Kennedy were assassinated points the finger at the CIA, Chicago & Dixie mob, LBJ henchmen and J Edgar Hoover. Big time Stone weaves a pattern of betrayal and deceit among the elite, leading us to realize that the powers that be will do anything to advance their agenda at whatever cost the nation is doomed. Stone does a good job of showing who is at the center of this massive betrayal of presidential trust and what they could gain.
I think the cover up continued all these years because the elite didn’t want the public to know that it was a Democrat who murdered another Democrat just to further their own agenda. This is sad but very revealing about human nature, why people do what they do to gain fame and power at all costs. Stone lowers the hammer, leaving nothing to the imagination. This is a vision of the war mongers that existed then and now in the military industrial complex who won’t be happy until the whole world worships at their feet.
