Lyndon B. Johnson was a nasty motherfucker who played
a major role in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. On 11/21/63, the night
before Kennedy was gunned down, a group of powerful political wheeler-dealers
gathered at the Dallas home of Genovese crime family operative and Texas oil tycoon
Clint Murchison to finalize a plan which had been put into motion shortly after
Kennedy made a remarkable speech in which he outlined his goals for the immediate
future. These included the withdrawal of troops from Vietnam, the downsizing of
both the CIA and the FBI, serious alterations to the oil depletion allowance which
would cost certain people billions of dollars and a severe crackdown on
organized crime. Besides Johnson and Murchison, others in attendance at this
meeting included former VPOTUS Richard M. Nixon, the man Kennedy had defeated
for the presidency in 1960, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, the deranged and
power mad homosexual who secretly loved to wear women’s clothes and hated the
Kennedy’s with a passion and mega billionaire H.L. Hunt, the absolute sinister
power behind the nefarious plot. Later, his son Lamar would own the Kansas City
Chiefs National Football League franchise.
According to the woman Johnson was banging on
the side at the time, Madeleine Duncan Brown, who saw Johnson immediately
following this infamous meeting, he said to her, “After tomorrow, those sons of
bitches (the Kennedy’s) will never embarrass me again – that’s no threat – that’s
a promise.”
And he was right and, amazingly, they got away
with it completely, including the infamous cover up known as the Warren
Commission Report, a huge paper pile of bullshit and proven sham that made no
sense whatsoever to anyone who ever read it, which I did.
Johnson liked to pick up his pet dogs by the
ears, stating that it didn’t hurt them and that they actually liked it,
disregarding the obvious fact that the dogs cried out in pain and whimpered
whenever he did this. He also liked to hold staff meetings and entertain the
media while he was taking a shit.
Rather than withdraw troops from Vietnam, he instead
radically increased troop deployments to satisfy his pals in the military
industrial complex, drastically expanded both budgets for the CIA and FBI and
later participated in the murders of both Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy.
Johnson became POTUS when I was 18 and was in
office until I was 23. At the time, I thought he was a degenerate asshole unfit
for the office he held and history has proven me right. Democracy as defined by
the Founding Fathers died in the United States of America on 11/22/63 because of
this horrible man and several others just as horrible who committed murder and
got away with it. And since then, democracy has never been properly restored.
Next: Tricky Dick Nixon.
