Who killed JFK? 100+ books have been written trying to answer that question. But regardless of who was the prime driver there is no doubt LBJ was a huge beneficiary of the event.
JFK was failing to bring a new wave of big government, and his behavior threatened our corporate masters who were seeing a big nationalist wave on the horizon, represented by Barry Goldwater’s grassroots fueled campaign.
In Johnson’s first year in the White House he had to lay low and allow the JFK martyrdom narrative to play out and pave the way for his future efforts. He did muscle Southern Senators to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He also gave a speech before 85,000 at the University of Michigan previewing his coming legislative avalanche he called “The Great Society.” It is worth noting a book with the same title was produced by a Fabian named Graham Wallis, and was a big deal in those circles earlier in the century.

73, 74 The Establishment Killed JFK and here’s why
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28 - Have the men of the West
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29 - lost
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30 - the will
00:00:31 --> 00:00:31 - to live?
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 - It's midnight in America,
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39 - and this
00:00:40 --> 00:00:40 - is the hour
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44 - of decision. Tell me what you're gonna
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46 - leave
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50 - behind if you go cutting off your life.
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55 - Hour of decision with Lou Moore starts now.
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58 - Welcome to the one hundred and thirty sixth
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01 - episode of hour of decision.
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04 - My name is Lou Moore, and today we're
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07 - going to continue our series marching through the
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07 - life,
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10 - and in particular, the presidency
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12 - of Lyndon Baines Johnson.
00:01:13 --> 00:01:18 - He served as president from 11/22/1963
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21 - till January
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23 - 1969.
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25 - Didn't run for reelection.
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28 - He was followed by Richard Nixon,
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31 - and I think everybody knows he was preceded
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33 - by JFK,
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35 - John Fitzgerald
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36 - Kennedy.
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38 - So
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43 - I do these series on the presidents because
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45 - I think it helps us focus on
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48 - many issues beyond the individual,
00:01:49 --> 00:01:49 - beyond their
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51 - administration,
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54 - beyond their so called accomplishments that will be
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57 - bragged about including by court historians
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00 - long after they're dead.
00:02:00 --> 00:02:04 - Anything that increases government is considered a plus
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06 - in the hands of our corporate masters when
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08 - that material's in the hands of our corporate
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10 - masters or their minions
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14 - that come out of the university systems that
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16 - we have, pretty iron lock
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18 - with just a few exceptions
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20 - on our universities,
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22 - with this kind of propaganda
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25 - being cranked out. But, anyway,
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27 - I do this because I think it's one
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29 - way to focus on the thread
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32 - that runs through all the presidencies
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34 - that I cover on this show,
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35 - which is
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37 - the overarching
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38 - desire
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41 - of the most powerful people on this earth
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44 - to merge the earth into one
00:02:45 --> 00:02:45 - government
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48 - that is a total government.
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51 - You can call it a communist government. It...
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54 - You know, we've we've used different, terms and
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57 - different terms have different meanings of different people,
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01 - but a total government with absolute power over
00:03:01 --> 00:03:01 - the whole planet.
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03 - That's the goal.
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05 - It's a gradualist
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08 - strategy that's been employed,
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11 - but one arm of this,
00:03:12 --> 00:03:12 - movement
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16 - has been the Bolsheviks, the communist, who sometimes
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19 - don't move very gradually. A lot of times
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20 - they do, actually.
00:03:21 --> 00:03:21 - But,
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23 - you know, they are willing to throw a
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26 - few bombs there. But anyhow,
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29 - it's generally been what we call a gradualist
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30 - or Fabian
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32 - strategy.
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33 - Slow but sure.
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36 - The turtle, one of the symbols of the
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38 - Fabian society in Britain.
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40 - And, that's where,
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41 - this strategy
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43 - comes out of,
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46 - but it's... At its core, the same Marxism
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51 - that animated Lenin, that animated Mao, that animated
00:03:51 --> 00:03:51 - Castro,
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53 - and that animates
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57 - every governmental leader, I would say, at this
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58 - point.
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00 - There might be a couple of exceptions
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03 - in Europe today,
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06 - but very much the gradualist, but they're tightening
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08 - the screws, folks, taking away the civil,
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12 - openly taking away civil liberties, taking away freedom
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13 - of speech.
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17 - They've gotten a lot more overt there and
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18 - also here
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20 - in the last few years. But anyhow...
00:04:21 --> 00:04:21 - So,
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25 - we're right now studying Lyndon Baines Johnson, and
00:04:25 --> 00:04:25 - a key
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27 - aspect
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30 - of the whole,
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33 - look at Johnson that I think needs to
00:04:33 --> 00:04:33 - occur
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37 - is the fact that it was obvious
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41 - that the powers that be that put Kennedy
00:04:41 --> 00:04:41 - into power
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44 - were expecting a second
00:04:45 --> 00:04:45 - huge
00:04:46 --> 00:04:46 - surge
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48 - of big government
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50 - similar to what happened
00:04:51 --> 00:04:51 - after,
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53 - 1932,
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56 - the election in 1932 with Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58 - In that case, it was called the New
00:04:58 --> 00:04:58 - Deal.
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02 - There was a book out called the New
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04 - Deal by a Fabian socialist by the name
00:05:04 --> 00:05:04 - of Stuart Chase,
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07 - and there was also a book out called
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08 - the Great
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09 - Society.
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11 - I... It's older than,
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14 - Chase's book called the New Deal.
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16 - But as we will learn,
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19 - they're gonna pull that, they're gonna pull that
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22 - title out and slap it on the big
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25 - government project that they couldn't get done under
00:05:25 --> 00:05:25 - Kennedy.
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28 - His project, he coined the new frontier,
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32 - but Johnson would get the job done for
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35 - our corporate masters. And my thesis is,
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37 - my belief is,
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38 - that
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39 - is why
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41 - Kennedy was killed.
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43 - That is why
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46 - Johnson was put in place because of his
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49 - mastery of the legislative process and his total
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50 - corruption and
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53 - vulnerability to be taken down at any time
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55 - and his complete desire
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57 - throughout his career
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00 - to do what the establishment
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04 - wanted, particularly the established... The part of the
00:06:04 --> 00:06:04 - establishment
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05 - pushing forward
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08 - this big government program.
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11 - And we saw that from the... His early
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13 - days, from Johnson's early days
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15 - when he was a
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19 - young administrator or young staffer, congressional staffer, then
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22 - administrator in the New Deal, the, only state
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23 - director
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27 - of his age of the National Youth Administration,
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31 - handing out largesse throughout Texas and then as
00:06:31 --> 00:06:31 - a congressman.
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34 - After that, a US senator, and we've we've
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37 - covered this ground. He became vice president.
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40 - Shotgun marriage there in a way.
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42 - His,
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45 - his pairing up with JFK,
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46 - not popular
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48 - with a lot of people around Kennedy, and
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51 - Kennedy hated Johnson. But anyhow, that's how he
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53 - got to be vice president. So now
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57 - now we just kinda got to the point
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58 - where Johnson,
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02 - becomes president, but we're going to backtrack just
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03 - a little bit
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06 - to really set the scene
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08 - for what was happening before
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11 - 11/22/1963
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12 - in Dallas, Texas.
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16 - And I, began covering this in the last
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18 - Johnson episode I did, but there was a
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19 - race
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21 - going on, a race,
00:07:23 --> 00:07:23 - between,
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25 - Bobby Kennedy,
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28 - who was determined to take Johnson out,
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31 - remove him from the ticket, and put somebody
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33 - more to their liking, to the Kennedy's
00:07:35 --> 00:07:35 - liking.
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37 - Bobby Kennedy, JFK's
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39 - political consigliere,
00:07:40 --> 00:07:40 - his
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43 - political... Chief political strategist consultant and
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46 - attorney general now by the time JFK is
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47 - in the White House,
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49 - his wingman,
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53 - and, he was determined to take Johnson out.
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56 - And we talked about the, hearing that what
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58 - was going on at the time Kennedy was
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59 - shot
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02 - where damning evidence was taken under oath,
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05 - and submitted into the record,
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09 - about some of Johnson's nefarious
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10 - dealings.
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12 - We won't go all back through that, but
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14 - at the same time... And there was supposed
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15 - to be and
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17 - there was supposed to be a
00:08:18 --> 00:08:18 - major
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20 - cover story
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23 - in a national magazine the following week
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27 - about this investigation that was brewing,
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30 - a conspiracy between Bobby Kennedy and Republicans
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33 - in the senate.
00:08:34 --> 00:08:34 - And,
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37 - of course, that didn't happen because of the
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39 - assassination, but at the same time, on the
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41 - other... This was a race
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43 - because more and more,
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47 - members of the press corps were sniffing around.
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49 - Edgar Hoover was well aware
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52 - that Kennedy had been sleeping with an East
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55 - German spy by the name of Ellen Romich
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57 - as had half the senate,
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59 - practically.
00:09:00 --> 00:09:04 - And, Lyndon Johnson knew this about Kennedy because,
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07 - Kennedy was fixed up with this woman by
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08 - Bobby Baker,
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11 - the man they called little Linden,
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13 - the guy that took care of all of
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16 - the tasks for him that were a little
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18 - bit unsavory under the table
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20 - involving bribes, blackmail,
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22 - intelligence operations,
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24 - etcetera. And we talked about Bobby Baker,
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27 - in the last couple of episodes.
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30 - So, there was a... And and there was
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31 - a rumor that, Clark,
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34 - Melenchoff, I believe his name was. He was
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36 - a famous political writer
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39 - for the, Des Moines Register,
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42 - you know, a paper in a state that
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44 - used to be and, and always has been
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45 - the first,
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49 - presidential contest in the primary season, the Iowa
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52 - caucuses. So Des Moines Register key
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54 - political newspaper,
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56 - that he was going to be putting out
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57 - in
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00 - October ish, November ish,
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02 - December, and rumors
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05 - that, he was going to put out a
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07 - major expose, and he was hinting at it
00:10:07 --> 00:10:08 - in October
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11 - in the Des Moines Register about,
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13 - the problem that JFK
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15 - had with womanizing.
00:10:17 --> 00:10:17 - So,
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19 - who,
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22 - you know, so which humongous scandal would be
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23 - revealed first
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26 - and who would end up on top
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29 - between Lyndon Johnson who did not like being
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32 - vice president and very, very much wanting to
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33 - be president
00:10:33 --> 00:10:36 - in JFK. And, of course, we have the
00:10:36 --> 00:10:36 - answer.
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39 - But, we we get it. We can,
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42 - get very much diverted by the question of
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45 - was Johnson behind this assassination?
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48 - I don't totally know that answer,
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50 - but the odds are he was.
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53 - But as I said, I don't don't believe
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55 - the driver. I mean, there's such a long
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56 - list of enemies
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58 - with the Kennedys. Talking about who who was
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59 - the driver
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01 - behind this assassination.
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03 - I mean, Bobby's investigating
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05 - the mob that helped JFK
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09 - cheat and win, not just the general election
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11 - in 1960, but also the primaries
00:11:11 --> 00:11:14 - in West Virginia in particular, a key primary
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17 - that, Sam Giancona said absolutely.
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19 - We won that thing for Kennedy, and he
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22 - didn't mean by going out in door knocking.
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23 - That is not how the mob
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25 - did it.
00:11:25 --> 00:11:28 - So that and, and, of course, also going
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31 - after Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters who had
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32 - not ever helped the Kennedys,
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36 - but who were one, if possibly the single
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37 - most potent union
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39 - in The United States in the early nineteen
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41 - sixties was the Teamsters folks.
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43 - They were a big effing deal, and, of
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46 - course, they were all mobbed up as well.
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49 - So, you know, there was them. There was
00:11:49 --> 00:11:49 - Cubans
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51 - in terms of who,
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54 - wanted to see Kennedy dead. There were Cubans
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55 - who were betrayed
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57 - on the beach,
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00 - at the Bay Of Pigs because Kennedy pulled
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02 - their air support.
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05 - And I talk about this in my Kennedy
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07 - episodes. Don't have time to go into the
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10 - details on all these things. But there's, people
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12 - that believe that these Cubans who then were
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13 - getting trained up by the CIA
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16 - for all kinds of covert activities,
00:12:17 --> 00:12:18 - including Watergate,
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20 - some of them,
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23 - that they might have been behind it. Then
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26 - there is the CIA that, but but this
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28 - theory I'm about to mention is a parochial
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30 - interest of the CIA that they were embarrassed
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32 - by Kennedy,
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35 - because they had put the plan together for
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36 - the Bay of Pigs,
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38 - the unsuccessful invasion of Cuba.
00:12:39 --> 00:12:39 - And,
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42 - they had put this plan together,
00:12:42 --> 00:12:42 - but,
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47 - it fell apart because Kennedy reneged on a
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48 - big part of it, which was US Air
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50 - Support. So that the idea that the CIA
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53 - wanted to get back at him for that
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56 - also because of Vietnam. Some people believe, oh,
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58 - the CIA really wanted us to be in
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59 - Vietnam.
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01 - Kennedy really didn't wanna be there.
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03 - I questioned
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06 - both of those, by the way. But, anyway,
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07 - particularly the idea that Kennedy
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09 - didn't wanna be there. But,
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13 - you have to go to my Kennedy episodes
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15 - to get a lot of detail on this.
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16 - We may cover a little bit more of
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17 - this
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19 - on Vietnam when we talk about
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22 - Vietnam. And then there is the idea that
00:13:22 --> 00:13:25 - the military industrial complex, like the generals,
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27 - working with elements of the CIA,
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30 - working with big corporations that had a lot
00:13:30 --> 00:13:31 - to lose financially.
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34 - We're worried that Kennedy was not going to
00:13:35 --> 00:13:35 - come across,
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37 - and,
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40 - ramp up in Vietnam. There had been plans
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41 - laid to do so.
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44 - Of course, the Pentagon is full of plans.
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46 - They're supposed to have plans for every contingency
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47 - on every,
00:13:48 --> 00:13:51 - national security issue. That's their job.
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53 - So that, of course, they had a plan
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54 - to rev up
00:13:54 --> 00:13:57 - forces in Vietnam, but would Kennedy have,
00:13:57 --> 00:14:00 - gone forward with that? Did anyone else really
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03 - wanna go forward with that at the time
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05 - we're talking about now? You know, that's an
00:14:05 --> 00:14:09 - open question. It's complicated. I don't know. The
00:14:09 --> 00:14:09 - Russians.
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12 - Nobody wants it. None of these conspiracy theorists
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14 - out there, folks, pretty much they don't ever
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16 - wanna put anything on the Russians,
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18 - which is ridiculous.
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21 - But I don't think they did it either.
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23 - I do believe that they sent Lee Harvey
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25 - Oswald to The United States
00:14:26 --> 00:14:29 - as somebody to, train to be ready
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31 - to do that,
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33 - and Oswald knew it.
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37 - And Oswald in... Of... He he was in
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38 - touch with the KGB
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40 - officer in charge of assassinations
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43 - in Mexico City just three or four months
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46 - before the assassination, folks. This is a fact.
00:14:46 --> 00:14:46 - And,
00:14:47 --> 00:14:50 - anyway, Oswald, another complicated story. I don't wanna
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52 - get into the whole Kennedy thing and,
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54 - been around and around without the Kennedy assassination
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57 - thing. I mean, the whole deal would spend
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59 - forty three hours just on that. But, anyway,
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00 - I'm trying to go through this quickly.
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03 - The Brits. Some people believe the Brits killed
00:15:03 --> 00:15:06 - Kennedy, m I five. Anyway, I don't even
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08 - know a whole lot about that theory, but
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10 - there are books out. There's books out with
00:15:10 --> 00:15:10 - just about...
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13 - Well, on all of these, topics that I've
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15 - mentioned, many books.
00:15:15 --> 00:15:18 - And, anyhow, well, one that's gotten a lot
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19 - of saliency,
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21 - or has gotten a lot of credit,
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25 - a lot of credit is being given this
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27 - theory recently. It used to be completely
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30 - off the table and ridiculed
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33 - is the theory that the Israelis
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36 - killed Kennedy because he did not want them
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38 - to get the bomb, and that is a
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40 - fact. And that he was threatening,
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43 - the Jewish lobby that they would have to
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45 - register as foreign agents, and that is a
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47 - fact. And he threatened,
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50 - Ben Gurion, the prime minister of Israel,
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52 - that he would cut off
00:15:52 --> 00:15:55 - the... All of their foreign aid over this,
00:15:55 --> 00:15:59 - question of nuclear enrichment. Does that sound familiar?
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00 - And that is a fact. Those are all
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03 - facts. But there's other there's other facts
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06 - that contradict the idea that the Israelis would
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08 - just dive into something like this and kill
00:16:09 --> 00:16:09 - Kennedy.
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13 - And, again, I refer you to my
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17 - episodes that discuss who killed Kennedy or my
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19 - Kennedy series.
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21 - And then there was a theory that right
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22 - wingers
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23 - killed Kennedy.
00:16:24 --> 00:16:27 - And I do wanna talk more about that
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30 - one because that has everything to do
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33 - with what happened after Kennedy died and what
00:16:33 --> 00:16:36 - happened to the politics in America and what
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39 - happened to the conservative movement that was on
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40 - fire.
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43 - The day Kennedy died and up to that
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44 - time,
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48 - up to 11/22/1963,
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50 - the right wing was rolling, folks.
00:16:51 --> 00:16:52 - And,
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55 - anyway, I also have a lot of material
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56 - on that. I have a Goldwater episode.
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59 - I talked about my Kennedy episode, but we're
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00 - gonna talk about that one a little bit
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02 - more in a minute.
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04 - So there was many beneficiaries
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07 - out there, potential beneficiaries
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10 - from having Kennedy out
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12 - of the White House. I just ticked down
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13 - a list,
00:17:14 --> 00:17:15 - and,
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18 - it makes it a little more complicated right
00:17:18 --> 00:17:21 - there to figure out what happened to him.
00:17:22 --> 00:17:22 - But,
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25 - no matter who we tick off, the mob,
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28 - the CIA, the military, the Russians, no matter,
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30 - you you know, who who you believe was,
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33 - the prime mover of the assassination,
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36 - there's no question that one of these
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37 - central
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38 - and principal beneficiaries
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41 - was Lyndon Baines Johnson.
00:17:41 --> 00:17:42 - Duh.
00:17:42 --> 00:17:42 - So,
00:17:43 --> 00:17:46 - can't overlook Johnson, and he has, you know,
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47 - he had connections
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49 - of some sort
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51 - with every single
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53 - one of the people down this list. He
00:17:53 --> 00:17:55 - was very tight with Israel. He had mob
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57 - connections through Bobby Baker.
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00 - He had connections to the Cubans. He had
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02 - all kinds of connections to the military industrial
00:18:02 --> 00:18:03 - complex
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05 - as the majority leader in the senate and
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07 - on the armed services committee in the senate
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08 - before that.
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09 - Anyhow.
00:18:09 --> 00:18:12 - So then we get into more specifics here
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15 - about Johnson. Supposedly, there was a meeting the
00:18:15 --> 00:18:16 - night before the assassination
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18 - at Clint
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21 - Murchison's house. Clint Murchison, a principal,
00:18:22 --> 00:18:25 - power broker in Texas, oil man among other
00:18:25 --> 00:18:26 - things.
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29 - And supposedly, Johnson told
00:18:30 --> 00:18:31 - one of his mistresses,
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33 - a woman,
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35 - by the name of Madeline Duncan Brown,
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43 - questions about the nature of all that. But
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45 - she said that he told her that by
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47 - tomorrow night... This is on the the night
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48 - before the assassination.
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49 - By tomorrow night,
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52 - no one would be laughing at him anymore,
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53 - and those Kennedys
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55 - would be put down, put in their place.
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57 - I don't think he exactly said that you're
00:18:57 --> 00:18:58 - gonna be killed the next day.
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01 - But, you know, she also said Richard Nixon
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02 - was at this meeting,
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04 - that HL Hunt,
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06 - who was a big right winger at that
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08 - time, the richest man in the world, I
00:19:08 --> 00:19:11 - think, at that time, oil man, pro John
00:19:11 --> 00:19:11 - Birch Society.
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15 - More in that category that he had a
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16 - man at this meeting,
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19 - a lot of doubts put on this meeting.
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20 - And I just,
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21 - I don't even know what to tell you.
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23 - But, I mean, that's in the lore there.
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25 - You can certainly find it.
00:19:25 --> 00:19:28 - But this, brings me up... This brings me
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30 - to another topic briefly, which is
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33 - Lyndon Johnson's womanizing. I I alluded
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36 - to this earlier in this series
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38 - that Kennedy wasn't the only
00:19:39 --> 00:19:39 - womanizer.
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41 - Johnson was
00:19:42 --> 00:19:45 - a big womanizer, but he was different from
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46 - Kennedy.
00:19:46 --> 00:19:49 - Kennedy wanted... He said... He told people he
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51 - wanted to have sex with a strange woman
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53 - or another woman other than his wife every
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54 - day.
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57 - He said this, and he did his best
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00 - to fulfill that. And in the process, there
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03 - was a lot of casual hookers and escorts
00:20:03 --> 00:20:03 - and,
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06 - possibly spies, all kinds of women
00:20:07 --> 00:20:08 - in that mix,
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11 - that in many cases can be established, but
00:20:11 --> 00:20:14 - Johnson was quite a bit different that way.
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18 - He tended to like women who had power
00:20:18 --> 00:20:21 - or whose husbands had power or whose fathers
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22 - had power
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25 - and to use them for his
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27 - his bigger lust, which was for power.
00:20:28 --> 00:20:28 - And,
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30 - but he had,
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33 - so he had casual sexual relationships, but it
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35 - would be more for the staffer,
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38 - somebody he knew, somebody down in Texas. It
00:20:38 --> 00:20:41 - wasn't this wild deal Kennedy had. I mean,
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42 - it was plenty promiscuous,
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45 - but he had three principal
00:20:46 --> 00:20:46 - mistresses
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48 - and three... And they were all
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50 - long term relationships.
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53 - One of them I alluded to was with
00:20:53 --> 00:20:54 - Helen Gahagan Douglas,
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57 - who served in congress at the time Johnson
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59 - did off the charts. Left
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02 - winger off the charts.
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04 - And there's a lot of talk about
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06 - them meeting and commiserating
00:21:07 --> 00:21:07 - about,
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10 - gee, FDR is gone, you know, after he
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12 - died. And what are we gonna do?
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15 - And get Truman, is he up to the
00:21:15 --> 00:21:15 - job? And
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18 - Johnson was definitely coming off as a left
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20 - winger to this woman who Richard Nixon called
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21 - the pink lady
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23 - and beat her
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25 - in 1950,
00:21:25 --> 00:21:28 - for for Nixon to get his senate seat
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29 - in California.
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32 - Joseph p Kennedy gave money to Nixon
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36 - in that campaign because Douglas was way off.
00:21:37 --> 00:21:40 - World government, one world, world federals, the whole
00:21:40 --> 00:21:41 - nine yards,
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43 - but way off to the left.
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45 - And she was very tight for many years
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48 - with Lyndon Johnson.
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50 - I mentioned this Madeline,
00:21:51 --> 00:21:55 - Madeline Duncan Brown. She was a media buyer,
00:21:56 --> 00:21:59 - big big deal in Dallas in her own
00:21:59 --> 00:21:59 - right,
00:22:00 --> 00:22:03 - but there is more question about this relationship
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04 - with Johnson.
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07 - Allegedly, it lasted over twenty
00:22:07 --> 00:22:10 - years, but this woman, you know, she claimed
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12 - this meeting with Murchison and claimed to tie
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13 - Johnson to the assassination
00:22:15 --> 00:22:18 - very directly, like, plotting it out.
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20 - But she was also later
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23 - convicted of forging
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24 - a will
00:22:25 --> 00:22:26 - to get money.
00:22:26 --> 00:22:30 - I mean, pretty bad convicted of that. So
00:22:30 --> 00:22:31 - I don't know about her.
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34 - But the mistress that I think tells us
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35 - the most about Johnson
00:22:36 --> 00:22:39 - was a woman by the name of Alice
00:22:39 --> 00:22:39 - Glass
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41 - who,
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45 - married, I believe, a Jewish man. Her last
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46 - name wasn't Glass.
00:22:47 --> 00:22:51 - She, but she married into huge money, huge
00:22:51 --> 00:22:51 - money
00:22:52 --> 00:22:53 - in,
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54 - Texas.
00:22:55 --> 00:22:58 - And, later, her husband bought her an entire
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00 - estate, a European
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01 - style estate
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04 - outside of Washington DC where she used to
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05 - have,
00:23:05 --> 00:23:09 - soirees with the the movers and shakers folks.
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11 - Not people who were pretty well known in
00:23:11 --> 00:23:14 - this net. No. The powers that be frequently
00:23:15 --> 00:23:15 - there
00:23:16 --> 00:23:17 - and auditioning,
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20 - congressmen
00:23:20 --> 00:23:21 - and senators.
00:23:22 --> 00:23:25 - And one of those was Lyndon Johnson, and,
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28 - they ended up getting together right after he
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30 - first met her when he was invited there
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32 - to be sized up by
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34 - a lot of big donors, big players.
00:23:34 --> 00:23:37 - And they conducted a relationship for years and
00:23:37 --> 00:23:38 - years. And again,
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41 - she was a left winger. She was also
00:23:41 --> 00:23:41 - a Zionist.
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44 - She was involved with smuggling Israelis into the
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45 - country.
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47 - I think she was also involved with, smuggling
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50 - weapons into the country. There's disagreement about this,
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52 - some of this stuff. But, anyhow, she was
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54 - very involved with the Zionist movement.
00:23:54 --> 00:23:57 - They were very simpatico on their left wing
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59 - views and their Zionist views, Johnson
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01 - and Alice Glass,
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03 - but she,
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06 - broke off this relationship that went on for
00:24:06 --> 00:24:09 - years and years, a torrid relationship. All while,
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10 - he's a public figure,
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13 - married a ladybird, but she tore it. She,
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15 - she,
00:24:15 --> 00:24:16 - ended the relationship
00:24:17 --> 00:24:20 - after Johnson invaded Vietnam. She would became very
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22 - anti war and anti war movement.
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25 - And, you know, in the fifties, Johnson got
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27 - close to big business in Gahagan Douglas.
00:24:27 --> 00:24:30 - No longer involved with him. And now with
00:24:30 --> 00:24:30 - Vietnam,
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32 - this other left wing,
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34 - mistress,
00:24:35 --> 00:24:37 - broke it off with Lyndon Johnson.
00:24:38 --> 00:24:41 - So we're gonna continue the saga of LBJ
00:24:41 --> 00:24:44 - right after the news. You are listening to
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45 - Hour of Decision
00:24:45 --> 00:24:48 - on Liberty News Radio, and my name is
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49 - Lou Moore.
00:24:57 --> 00:24:58 - Second half
00:24:59 --> 00:25:02 - of the hour of decision
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04 - with Lou Moore
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08 - starts right now.
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15 - Welcome back to Hour of Decision. My name
00:25:15 --> 00:25:18 - is Lou Moore. We're talking about Lyndon Baines
00:25:18 --> 00:25:18 - Johnson
00:25:20 --> 00:25:21 - suddenly becoming the president
00:25:22 --> 00:25:25 - with a major psyop following. And we were
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27 - talking a little bit about who might have
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29 - killed Kennedy. Was Johnson involved?
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31 - Just raising some issues around that. I'm not
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32 - even gonna get into a lot of detail,
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34 - try to answer that question.
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37 - But we do have to remember that Billy
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40 - Solestis, who testified before our grand jury, this
00:25:40 --> 00:25:40 - crook
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42 - that Johnson was in business with,
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45 - alleged that Johnson was involved in a murder
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47 - ring and that they... He named all the
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49 - individuals that were murdered
00:25:50 --> 00:25:50 - all
00:25:51 --> 00:25:52 - at his behest, evidently,
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54 - and the last name on the list
00:25:55 --> 00:25:55 - was JFK.
00:25:56 --> 00:25:57 - And there is evidence
00:25:58 --> 00:26:02 - that this, Mac Wallace who, who was the,
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04 - who was the trigger man
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06 - in this murder group. If you go back
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08 - to my last episode, I talked in more
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09 - detail about all these guys.
00:26:10 --> 00:26:13 - Supposedly, there was DNA found that matched his
00:26:13 --> 00:26:16 - at the Texas depot... School book depository
00:26:17 --> 00:26:20 - where allegedly Lee Harvey Oswald took three shots
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23 - at John f Kennedy,
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25 - you know, with a high powered rifle.
00:26:25 --> 00:26:28 - And so... And on the same floor
00:26:28 --> 00:26:29 - that allegedly
00:26:29 --> 00:26:31 - Oswald was on. So I don't know.
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34 - I I didn't get too far. Not going
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36 - down all those rabbit holes. But, anyway,
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38 - allegation was made,
00:26:38 --> 00:26:41 - and, a grand jury found that one of
00:26:41 --> 00:26:41 - the allegations
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44 - that Soles has made in his, the same
00:26:44 --> 00:26:44 - testimony,
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47 - that actually reversed
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49 - a coroner's decision
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50 - that a... That that,
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53 - a agriculture inspector
00:26:53 --> 00:26:56 - that was after Solestas and possibly Johnson,
00:26:56 --> 00:26:58 - they had ruled it a suicide, but a
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59 - judge,
00:26:59 --> 00:27:02 - after Solesas made this testimony in the eighties,
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04 - long after Johnson was dead,
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06 - he reversed it and ruled it a murder
00:27:07 --> 00:27:10 - on the strength of a Texas Rangers investigation
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13 - of that whole situation with this agricultural
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15 - inspector. So
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17 - what about JFK? What about some of the
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20 - other names on the list like Johnson's sister?
00:27:20 --> 00:27:21 - So
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23 - I don't have any doubt
00:27:24 --> 00:27:26 - that Lyndon Johnson would have been capable
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29 - of playing a minor or major role
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31 - in what happened,
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33 - at, The Plaza
00:27:34 --> 00:27:35 - in Dallas, Texas
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37 - on that fateful day. But what we know
00:27:37 --> 00:27:38 - for sure
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41 - is he benefited greatly from
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42 - the events
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44 - that happened.
00:27:45 --> 00:27:45 - So,
00:27:47 --> 00:27:48 - but, again,
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49 - I say who
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51 - who
00:27:51 --> 00:27:54 - had the most power and could achieve the
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55 - most benefit
00:27:55 --> 00:27:56 - from this assassination.
00:27:57 --> 00:28:00 - I argue our overall corporate masters
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03 - that may have employed the CIA, that may
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04 - have employed members of the mob, that may
00:28:04 --> 00:28:07 - have employed the Israelis, may have employed
00:28:07 --> 00:28:10 - people connected to, local people connected to Johnson,
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14 - could have been involved. But I... My argument
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16 - is they were the driver.
00:28:16 --> 00:28:19 - They had the most to gain. They were
00:28:19 --> 00:28:20 - the most ruthless,
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23 - had the most ability to pull this off.
00:28:23 --> 00:28:25 - And if they... If and if it did
00:28:25 --> 00:28:25 - happen,
00:28:26 --> 00:28:29 - anywhere like that, there wasn't a 100 people
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31 - involved with it. I've heard some of these
00:28:31 --> 00:28:32 - conspiracy theorists.
00:28:32 --> 00:28:34 - I mean, they're talking about so many different
00:28:34 --> 00:28:36 - groups and groups of shooters and groups of
00:28:36 --> 00:28:38 - this and that and the right wingers and
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40 - everybody. You know? No. No. These things are
00:28:40 --> 00:28:41 - done very elegantly
00:28:42 --> 00:28:44 - and as simply as possible.
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47 - Like misdirecting Oswald to think he got an
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49 - order from Moscow to pull the trigger. That
00:28:49 --> 00:28:52 - would be a simple explanation of what happened.
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53 - But,
00:28:53 --> 00:28:55 - they could still come from this... These same
00:28:55 --> 00:28:58 - power blocks. But, anyway, not not going over
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59 - that too far today,
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02 - but what is really important
00:29:03 --> 00:29:06 - from this, first of all, Lyndon Johnson is
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07 - now the president. Congratulations,
00:29:08 --> 00:29:08 - Lyndon.
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11 - But the, the second part of this, I've
00:29:11 --> 00:29:13 - talked about it a little bit, but now
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14 - we're gonna go into it in more depth.
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18 - So the press created this come a lot
00:29:19 --> 00:29:21 - imagery around Kennedy.
00:29:22 --> 00:29:22 - Unbelievable
00:29:23 --> 00:29:24 - press. Nobody
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26 - got better press than JFK.
00:29:27 --> 00:29:28 - Let me tell you right now. And, of
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30 - course, he was right out of central casting,
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33 - and his family was right out of central
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34 - casting. And Jackie,
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36 - for the first lady, was right out of
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38 - central casting. I mean,
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41 - incredible. Incredible charisma, all of that.
00:29:42 --> 00:29:43 - So he was very popular,
00:29:44 --> 00:29:47 - but his, legislative agenda was a failure.
00:29:48 --> 00:29:49 - And a lot of it had to do
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50 - with Lyndon Johnson not,
00:29:51 --> 00:29:54 - using those powers of persuasion on southern Democrats
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55 - as he had in the fifties, and he
00:29:55 --> 00:29:58 - would again after he became president.
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59 - And so Kennedy's
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02 - legislative agenda failed.
00:30:03 --> 00:30:04 - But the...
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06 - They had already puffed Kennedy up in in
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08 - the minds of the public. And even as
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10 - his popularity was falling,
00:30:12 --> 00:30:14 - which it was in the last part of
00:30:14 --> 00:30:15 - 1963,
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18 - when he died, he was still over 50%.
00:30:18 --> 00:30:20 - I mean, Trump would only dream about the
00:30:20 --> 00:30:22 - numbers that Kennedy had.
00:30:22 --> 00:30:23 - But,
00:30:24 --> 00:30:25 - there were
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28 - Kennedy had some problems
00:30:28 --> 00:30:29 - in,
00:30:29 --> 00:30:30 - 1963,
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32 - and this adds to the theory that,
00:30:33 --> 00:30:35 - the powers that be took him out. So
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37 - this is my this is my complete argument
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39 - about this. He wasn't getting the job done.
00:30:40 --> 00:30:41 - He was exposing
00:30:41 --> 00:30:42 - himself,
00:30:43 --> 00:30:44 - not so much just to the Russians, but
00:30:44 --> 00:30:45 - to scandal.
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48 - But he was very wealthy. He had a
00:30:48 --> 00:30:51 - huge political organization that was very loyal to
00:30:51 --> 00:30:52 - him.
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54 - He might have been able to hang on
00:30:54 --> 00:30:55 - in the scandal
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58 - long enough to still be the candidate
00:30:59 --> 00:31:00 - in 1964
00:31:00 --> 00:31:03 - even if this scandal broke with Ellen Romich
00:31:03 --> 00:31:04 - or with some of these other women. I
00:31:04 --> 00:31:06 - haven't got into all the other women with
00:31:06 --> 00:31:08 - Kennedy. The list would be a mile long.
00:31:08 --> 00:31:11 - I mean, including a mobster's girlfriend, Sam Giancana's
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12 - girlfriend
00:31:12 --> 00:31:15 - slept with him for god's sake. Yeah. Anyway...
00:31:15 --> 00:31:16 - But, but Kennedy's
00:31:17 --> 00:31:18 - numbers were sinking.
00:31:18 --> 00:31:21 - They just came from a very lofty height.
00:31:21 --> 00:31:21 - And,
00:31:22 --> 00:31:23 - the economy
00:31:24 --> 00:31:26 - was slowing down quite a bit.
00:31:26 --> 00:31:29 - And, there was big concern in swing states
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32 - that the union vote would start turning against
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34 - Kennedy, the work... Like the steel workers. It's
00:31:34 --> 00:31:35 - a terrible
00:31:36 --> 00:31:37 - depression in the steel industry
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40 - coming into 1963.
00:31:40 --> 00:31:43 - His agenda, as I said, was stalled.
00:31:44 --> 00:31:46 - And then there was the specter of Vietnam,
00:31:46 --> 00:31:48 - which more and more of the press were
00:31:48 --> 00:31:50 - also picking up on the fact
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53 - that this was a big problem over in
00:31:53 --> 00:31:53 - Vietnam.
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55 - Kennedy had sent,
00:31:56 --> 00:31:57 - there are different numbers,
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59 - as many as 20
00:32:01 --> 00:32:02 - advisers in air quotes,
00:32:03 --> 00:32:03 - military.
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06 - 20 folks. He sent 20
00:32:07 --> 00:32:08 - of our troops to Vietnam
00:32:09 --> 00:32:10 - by some numbers. Some numbers are lower, but
00:32:10 --> 00:32:11 - it was
00:32:11 --> 00:32:12 - many thousands.
00:32:13 --> 00:32:14 - And,
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16 - things weren't going well.
00:32:17 --> 00:32:18 - Things were going so poorly
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21 - that the CIA convinced Kennedy
00:32:21 --> 00:32:22 - to assassinate
00:32:23 --> 00:32:25 - the leader of South Vietnam,
00:32:25 --> 00:32:26 - our ally,
00:32:27 --> 00:32:29 - in the war they were prosecuting
00:32:29 --> 00:32:32 - against Ho Chi Minh, then, who was at
00:32:32 --> 00:32:33 - that time
00:32:33 --> 00:32:34 - North Vietnamese,
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37 - and the communist country was North Vietnamese,
00:32:38 --> 00:32:39 - and the so called free country,
00:32:40 --> 00:32:43 - which it was not, was South Vietnam. I
00:32:43 --> 00:32:46 - have a whole episode on Vietnam that talks
00:32:46 --> 00:32:46 - about
00:32:46 --> 00:32:49 - how our corporate masters and the council on
00:32:49 --> 00:32:51 - foreign relations and the Atlantic Council and all
00:32:51 --> 00:32:53 - these people installed
00:32:53 --> 00:32:54 - Diem,
00:32:55 --> 00:32:55 - a Catholic
00:32:57 --> 00:32:58 - who was not popular,
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59 - rigged election,
00:33:00 --> 00:33:02 - installed him in as president
00:33:03 --> 00:33:05 - of Vietnam, and all the all the problems
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07 - that occurred from this that made it
00:33:08 --> 00:33:11 - really even at that point an unwinnable war.
00:33:11 --> 00:33:13 - Not to mention the fact
00:33:13 --> 00:33:15 - that the North Vietnamese were getting tons and
00:33:15 --> 00:33:18 - tons and tons of material from the Russians
00:33:19 --> 00:33:21 - as well as from the Chinese who were
00:33:21 --> 00:33:23 - right next door to them.
00:33:24 --> 00:33:27 - And we weren't... And we never did until
00:33:27 --> 00:33:30 - the very end of Nixon's patience running out
00:33:30 --> 00:33:32 - years and years later. We never bombed the
00:33:32 --> 00:33:32 - harbors.
00:33:33 --> 00:33:36 - We never we never actually went after the
00:33:36 --> 00:33:36 - supply
00:33:37 --> 00:33:40 - that kept the North Vietnamese going. But that...
00:33:40 --> 00:33:42 - That's the story of the Vietnam War almost
00:33:42 --> 00:33:43 - in a nutshell.
00:33:44 --> 00:33:45 - And, anyway,
00:33:46 --> 00:33:49 - not going well, though, already in 1963.
00:33:50 --> 00:33:52 - And, a lot... And Kennedy was saying he
00:33:52 --> 00:33:54 - was going to stay the course. That's what
00:33:54 --> 00:33:55 - he was saying. That's what he said to
00:33:55 --> 00:33:57 - Walter Cronkite in September
00:33:57 --> 00:33:58 - 1963.
00:33:58 --> 00:33:59 - Did not
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01 - send out a lot of signals he was
00:34:01 --> 00:34:03 - going to pull out. I don't think he
00:34:03 --> 00:34:05 - wanted to be there. I I really don't
00:34:05 --> 00:34:07 - think he wanted to ramp up
00:34:07 --> 00:34:09 - the way Johnson did, but Johnson may not
00:34:09 --> 00:34:10 - have wanted that either.
00:34:11 --> 00:34:13 - That... That's another story. We're gonna talk more
00:34:13 --> 00:34:14 - about Vietnam in this series
00:34:15 --> 00:34:16 - when we get to that... We we get
00:34:16 --> 00:34:17 - to,
00:34:17 --> 00:34:20 - the big ramp up after the sixty four
00:34:20 --> 00:34:22 - election. But, anyway, he had all these problems,
00:34:23 --> 00:34:26 - and then these scandals in the background starting
00:34:26 --> 00:34:27 - to come up. So,
00:34:28 --> 00:34:29 - Kennedy was sinking.
00:34:30 --> 00:34:31 - He was not getting the job done. He
00:34:31 --> 00:34:34 - was exposed scandal wise both with his womanizing
00:34:35 --> 00:34:39 - and his terrible health and his extremely
00:34:40 --> 00:34:41 - aggressive drug use
00:34:43 --> 00:34:45 - prescribed by a doctor, but nonetheless, I mean,
00:34:45 --> 00:34:45 - amphetamines,
00:34:46 --> 00:34:48 - barbiturate. I mean, the whole nine yards, the
00:34:48 --> 00:34:49 - whole cocktail,
00:34:50 --> 00:34:52 - a panoply of drugs, a ton of antibiotics
00:34:53 --> 00:34:55 - constantly being pumped through him. I mean, it's
00:34:55 --> 00:34:56 - unbelievable,
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59 - folks. But, and and that was... That scandal
00:34:59 --> 00:35:02 - hadn't broke, even though j Edgar Hoover was
00:35:02 --> 00:35:03 - on the case
00:35:03 --> 00:35:07 - because Kennedy... Bobby Kennedy got doctors to forge
00:35:07 --> 00:35:08 - their records
00:35:09 --> 00:35:10 - that were seeing the president
00:35:11 --> 00:35:13 - over that issue. So Kennedy
00:35:13 --> 00:35:15 - very exposed every reason
00:35:16 --> 00:35:17 - for him to be replaced
00:35:18 --> 00:35:20 - by Lyndon Johnson.
00:35:20 --> 00:35:22 - So they built Kennedy up, they came a
00:35:22 --> 00:35:24 - lot, and all this. So he's way built
00:35:24 --> 00:35:25 - up. He's very popular. He's
00:35:26 --> 00:35:27 - great politician.
00:35:28 --> 00:35:29 - So he's assassinated.
00:35:31 --> 00:35:31 - And immediately,
00:35:32 --> 00:35:33 - the martyrdom propaganda
00:35:33 --> 00:35:34 - goes,
00:35:35 --> 00:35:38 - goes into place. And, again, keep in mind,
00:35:38 --> 00:35:41 - we're looking at three primary television networks, which
00:35:41 --> 00:35:43 - was the major way that the average American
00:35:43 --> 00:35:46 - at this point now was consuming their news.
00:35:46 --> 00:35:47 - Secondarily,
00:35:48 --> 00:35:49 - radio and the newspapers,
00:35:49 --> 00:35:50 - but primarily
00:35:51 --> 00:35:51 - television.
00:35:52 --> 00:35:53 - And,
00:35:54 --> 00:35:57 - and it was off the charts, folks. I
00:35:57 --> 00:36:00 - mean, you know, president dies. He was popular.
00:36:00 --> 00:36:03 - They're all Democrats, all these newspaper. They're gonna
00:36:03 --> 00:36:05 - they're gonna treat him good, of course, but
00:36:05 --> 00:36:08 - this was so far... They deified
00:36:09 --> 00:36:11 - Kennedy. It's hard to describe, folks.
00:36:11 --> 00:36:14 - It's hard to describe unless you're watching daily
00:36:14 --> 00:36:16 - TV. Maybe you pick up some of this
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17 - stuff on YouTube.
00:36:17 --> 00:36:19 - The way they depicted that... And at the
00:36:19 --> 00:36:20 - same time
00:36:21 --> 00:36:22 - at the same time,
00:36:23 --> 00:36:25 - until it was absolutely
00:36:26 --> 00:36:27 - disabused,
00:36:28 --> 00:36:32 - Walter Cronkite, all of them were saying... Hinting,
00:36:33 --> 00:36:35 - saying it right out, some of them, that
00:36:35 --> 00:36:38 - it... This was a right wing conspiracy.
00:36:39 --> 00:36:41 - This was a bunch of right wingers killed
00:36:41 --> 00:36:43 - Kennedy. And, boy, that was convenient
00:36:44 --> 00:36:45 - because the conservative
00:36:45 --> 00:36:48 - movement, a populist movement that was drawing young
00:36:48 --> 00:36:48 - people,
00:36:49 --> 00:36:51 - drawing people all over the country
00:36:51 --> 00:36:53 - was firing up.
00:36:54 --> 00:36:54 - And,
00:36:55 --> 00:36:56 - that
00:36:57 --> 00:36:58 - was the reason why,
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00 - I think, there was a panic, and that's
00:37:00 --> 00:37:02 - why they decided to kill Kennedy because it
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03 - wasn't just
00:37:04 --> 00:37:06 - that he was, gonna be in,
00:37:06 --> 00:37:07 - gross scandal because
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10 - all the people they had on the scene
00:37:10 --> 00:37:11 - other than Robert Taft for years and years
00:37:11 --> 00:37:13 - would do to end up doing their bidding
00:37:13 --> 00:37:15 - when they got in the White House. Uniparty,
00:37:15 --> 00:37:16 - whether it was Republican
00:37:16 --> 00:37:17 - or Democrat.
00:37:18 --> 00:37:19 - But Barry Goldwater
00:37:20 --> 00:37:22 - was not singing their song.
00:37:22 --> 00:37:24 - He was totally against containment.
00:37:25 --> 00:37:26 - He wanted to defeat
00:37:27 --> 00:37:27 - communism
00:37:28 --> 00:37:30 - overseas. He wrote a book called Why Not
00:37:30 --> 00:37:30 - Victory.
00:37:31 --> 00:37:33 - And he wrote another book called The Conscience
00:37:33 --> 00:37:34 - of a Conservative
00:37:35 --> 00:37:37 - that had 10,
00:37:40 --> 00:37:40 - 10
00:37:40 --> 00:37:42 - copies in print.
00:37:43 --> 00:37:45 - This was a big deal, folks.
00:37:45 --> 00:37:46 - In California,
00:37:47 --> 00:37:49 - when Goldwater won the Republican primary
00:37:50 --> 00:37:51 - in 1964,
00:37:52 --> 00:37:55 - he was against Nelson Rockefeller who spent millions
00:37:55 --> 00:37:57 - and millions of dollars and blanketed.
00:37:58 --> 00:38:01 - California TV was some of the slickest best
00:38:01 --> 00:38:02 - ads ever seen,
00:38:03 --> 00:38:05 - up until that time, but Goldwater had twenty,
00:38:05 --> 00:38:08 - twenty five thousand people door knocking
00:38:08 --> 00:38:10 - around the state. I mean,
00:38:10 --> 00:38:11 - unbelievable.
00:38:11 --> 00:38:14 - And and beat him beat him in California,
00:38:14 --> 00:38:17 - which ended the chances of,
00:38:18 --> 00:38:19 - of folks that, are not on our side
00:38:19 --> 00:38:20 - of the fence
00:38:21 --> 00:38:22 - from,
00:38:23 --> 00:38:25 - taking Goldwater out in the primary. He was
00:38:25 --> 00:38:27 - gonna go to the general election.
00:38:29 --> 00:38:31 - So the right
00:38:32 --> 00:38:33 - was
00:38:33 --> 00:38:34 - on fire.
00:38:36 --> 00:38:37 - They had an understanding
00:38:37 --> 00:38:38 - of the enemy.
00:38:40 --> 00:38:43 - They had a coherent political philosophy primarily because
00:38:43 --> 00:38:44 - of a man by the name of,
00:38:45 --> 00:38:47 - William f Buckley.
00:38:48 --> 00:38:51 - They had a, political leader,
00:38:52 --> 00:38:54 - that could be their champion by the name
00:38:54 --> 00:38:56 - of Barry Goldwater, senator from Arizona,
00:38:58 --> 00:38:59 - and they had a strategy
00:39:01 --> 00:39:02 - which was
00:39:04 --> 00:39:06 - created by a number of individuals. But the
00:39:06 --> 00:39:09 - principal one was a fellow by name of
00:39:09 --> 00:39:10 - Clarence Mannion,
00:39:11 --> 00:39:13 - who had been an Eisenhower appointee. He had
00:39:13 --> 00:39:15 - been the dean of the Notre Dame Law
00:39:15 --> 00:39:18 - School, and he had also had, been one
00:39:18 --> 00:39:20 - of the founders of the John Birch Society.
00:39:21 --> 00:39:24 - And Manion had a vision of uniting the
00:39:24 --> 00:39:24 - South,
00:39:25 --> 00:39:27 - which had been voting Democrat. I mean, they
00:39:27 --> 00:39:30 - voted for Stevenson, for crying out loud. A
00:39:30 --> 00:39:31 - whole lot of them did. A lot of
00:39:31 --> 00:39:33 - the states in the Deep South
00:39:34 --> 00:39:36 - even went for the ultra left winger Adlai
00:39:36 --> 00:39:39 - Stevenson against Eisenhower twice.
00:39:39 --> 00:39:41 - You know, they went for Kennedy,
00:39:42 --> 00:39:43 - generally in 1960,
00:39:44 --> 00:39:46 - but he had a a vision of pulling
00:39:46 --> 00:39:48 - them all away
00:39:48 --> 00:39:50 - and uniting them
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52 - with conservatives
00:39:52 --> 00:39:54 - in the North and in the West,
00:39:55 --> 00:39:57 - in the Mid... Primarily in the Midwest and
00:39:57 --> 00:39:59 - the West, but also in in, like, New
00:39:59 --> 00:40:00 - Hampshire, places in the Northeast that were more
00:40:00 --> 00:40:03 - conservative at that time than they are now.
00:40:05 --> 00:40:06 - And to recreate
00:40:07 --> 00:40:09 - the party system to where one party
00:40:10 --> 00:40:12 - was the patriotic nationalist conservative
00:40:13 --> 00:40:15 - American party, and the other party was the
00:40:15 --> 00:40:16 - party of the globalists.
00:40:17 --> 00:40:19 - And the, centralizers,
00:40:19 --> 00:40:20 - the collectivist,
00:40:20 --> 00:40:21 - etcetera, etcetera.
00:40:22 --> 00:40:25 - So that was his mission. That was his
00:40:25 --> 00:40:28 - goal. And he used it, in his first
00:40:28 --> 00:40:30 - vehicle to do this was to write... To,
00:40:31 --> 00:40:34 - to take Barry Goldwater, write a book for
00:40:34 --> 00:40:36 - him, which was called conscious of a conservative,
00:40:37 --> 00:40:40 - and use it as an organizing tool all
00:40:40 --> 00:40:42 - over the country, not just as a propaganda
00:40:42 --> 00:40:44 - tool to get people read the book, but
00:40:44 --> 00:40:48 - have have it, independently printed and locally distributed
00:40:49 --> 00:40:50 - and have these distributors
00:40:50 --> 00:40:51 - be hubs
00:40:51 --> 00:40:54 - for what would become, he hoped, a GoWater
00:40:54 --> 00:40:56 - campaign. And, of course, the thing took off
00:40:56 --> 00:40:57 - like a rocket
00:40:58 --> 00:40:59 - as I was saying,
00:41:00 --> 00:41:02 - be... A minute ago.
00:41:03 --> 00:41:04 - And, so they were a danger.
00:41:05 --> 00:41:07 - This is the... There was the first real
00:41:07 --> 00:41:07 - challenge
00:41:08 --> 00:41:09 - to the bipartisan,
00:41:10 --> 00:41:10 - agreement
00:41:11 --> 00:41:13 - on more big government, at least some more
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15 - big government, if not a whole lot more.
00:41:16 --> 00:41:18 - You know, the the Republicans wanted to be
00:41:18 --> 00:41:21 - more gradual than the Democrats, but a big
00:41:21 --> 00:41:24 - government at home and a building world institutions
00:41:24 --> 00:41:26 - for a one world government
00:41:27 --> 00:41:27 - overseas.
00:41:28 --> 00:41:31 - And Gowater was the first candidate that had
00:41:31 --> 00:41:31 - a shot
00:41:32 --> 00:41:33 - at the White House
00:41:34 --> 00:41:35 - since Robert Taft,
00:41:36 --> 00:41:36 - who... To,
00:41:37 --> 00:41:39 - to achieve this. And, of course, he actually
00:41:39 --> 00:41:42 - won. Taft didn't win the Republican nomination. But,
00:41:43 --> 00:41:44 - by 1964,
00:41:44 --> 00:41:45 - the establishment
00:41:45 --> 00:41:46 - couldn't derail
00:41:46 --> 00:41:47 - the nationalists,
00:41:48 --> 00:41:50 - at the convention or in the primary system
00:41:50 --> 00:41:51 - as they did
00:41:51 --> 00:41:52 - to Robert Taft.
00:41:53 --> 00:41:53 - Rockefeller
00:41:54 --> 00:41:55 - lost big.
00:41:55 --> 00:41:58 - Goldwater was hugely popular all over the country
00:41:59 --> 00:42:01 - with the base as they call it.
00:42:01 --> 00:42:04 - So this movement was, building. I won't go
00:42:04 --> 00:42:06 - too much more into the discussion of the
00:42:06 --> 00:42:07 - conservative movement.
00:42:08 --> 00:42:11 - My Goldwater episode goes over it in detail.
00:42:12 --> 00:42:15 - But they needed to move their project forward.
00:42:15 --> 00:42:17 - Kennedy wasn't doing it, and now they needed
00:42:17 --> 00:42:18 - to stop.
00:42:19 --> 00:42:19 - Absolutely
00:42:20 --> 00:42:21 - make sure they
00:42:22 --> 00:42:23 - stop this rising
00:42:24 --> 00:42:25 - tide of conservatism
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28 - that was happening in the North and the
00:42:28 --> 00:42:28 - South.
00:42:29 --> 00:42:31 - It was happening among Democrats in the North
00:42:32 --> 00:42:33 - at that time
00:42:33 --> 00:42:34 - and
00:42:34 --> 00:42:36 - very much so in the South and happening
00:42:36 --> 00:42:39 - among a fairly large percentage of the Republicans.
00:42:41 --> 00:42:43 - The country was getting more conservative.
00:42:45 --> 00:42:46 - A big example of this,
00:42:48 --> 00:42:49 - after the smear campaign,
00:42:50 --> 00:42:51 - which I will talk about in a minute
00:42:51 --> 00:42:52 - with Goldwater,
00:42:52 --> 00:42:56 - Johnson wins California big in 1964.
00:42:56 --> 00:42:58 - But in a senatorial race,
00:42:59 --> 00:43:00 - another actor,
00:43:01 --> 00:43:03 - other than Ronald Reagan, a man named George
00:43:03 --> 00:43:05 - Murphy, a vaudeville dancer,
00:43:06 --> 00:43:09 - defeated Robert f Kennedy's former press secretary by
00:43:09 --> 00:43:10 - a large margin
00:43:11 --> 00:43:12 - in California
00:43:13 --> 00:43:15 - to become United States senator at the same
00:43:15 --> 00:43:17 - time Johnson was winning. They also passed,
00:43:18 --> 00:43:21 - two to one, a bill to stop,
00:43:21 --> 00:43:22 - forced
00:43:23 --> 00:43:23 - integration
00:43:23 --> 00:43:24 - of housing,
00:43:26 --> 00:43:26 - and,
00:43:27 --> 00:43:28 - and blockbusting
00:43:28 --> 00:43:30 - and all that kind of stuff that was
00:43:30 --> 00:43:31 - going on at the time.
00:43:32 --> 00:43:34 - That that was voted against almost two to
00:43:34 --> 00:43:35 - one. This is California,
00:43:35 --> 00:43:36 - folks.
00:43:37 --> 00:43:38 - So that gives you an idea of the
00:43:38 --> 00:43:39 - tenor at the times that you get a
00:43:39 --> 00:43:41 - more conservative states in California.
00:43:43 --> 00:43:44 - So it was time.
00:43:45 --> 00:43:46 - And, people,
00:43:46 --> 00:43:49 - people poo pooed this now, but Go Water
00:43:49 --> 00:43:49 - was rolling.
00:43:50 --> 00:43:52 - He had, we can get into issues about
00:43:52 --> 00:43:54 - him. He wasn't, in many ways, the greatest
00:43:54 --> 00:43:55 - candidate,
00:43:55 --> 00:43:56 - I will say. But, anyhow,
00:43:57 --> 00:43:58 - they had to stop. He looked like he
00:43:58 --> 00:43:59 - could be formidable.
00:44:00 --> 00:44:01 - He had to be stopped, and they want
00:44:01 --> 00:44:04 - to move their project forward. Two big reasons
00:44:05 --> 00:44:05 - Kennedy
00:44:05 --> 00:44:07 - had to go.
00:44:07 --> 00:44:08 - And, so
00:44:09 --> 00:44:09 - that's that.
00:44:10 --> 00:44:13 - So Johnson, Johnson is now president.
00:44:13 --> 00:44:14 - Assassination
00:44:14 --> 00:44:15 - has occurred,
00:44:16 --> 00:44:18 - and Johnson's gotta lay low
00:44:18 --> 00:44:21 - because they're building Kennedy up even more than
00:44:21 --> 00:44:23 - when he was president a whole lot more.
00:44:24 --> 00:44:26 - And Johnson can't look like a usurper
00:44:26 --> 00:44:29 - or anything but just kind of a carrying
00:44:29 --> 00:44:31 - the mantle of the great leader, carrying it
00:44:31 --> 00:44:33 - forward, carrying his legislative
00:44:34 --> 00:44:34 - agenda
00:44:35 --> 00:44:35 - forward.
00:44:36 --> 00:44:38 - And so Johnson, for him,
00:44:39 --> 00:44:41 - is basically laying low,
00:44:41 --> 00:44:43 - but he does twist the screws
00:44:44 --> 00:44:45 - on the southern Democrats
00:44:46 --> 00:44:49 - to pass the civil rights act of 1964,
00:44:49 --> 00:44:52 - a huge attack on states' rights, a huge
00:44:52 --> 00:44:54 - attack on freedom of association,
00:44:54 --> 00:44:54 - a huge
00:44:56 --> 00:44:59 - step forward in building federal power
00:45:00 --> 00:45:02 - for our corporate masters.
00:45:03 --> 00:45:06 - It's not a small thing. That was passed
00:45:06 --> 00:45:08 - before Johnson was elected in his own right
00:45:08 --> 00:45:10 - in 1964.
00:45:10 --> 00:45:12 - But the other thing... The other big item
00:45:13 --> 00:45:15 - that I wanna talk about, talking about him
00:45:15 --> 00:45:18 - as president before he was elected in his
00:45:18 --> 00:45:18 - own right,
00:45:19 --> 00:45:19 - was,
00:45:20 --> 00:45:23 - a speech he gave in May up in
00:45:23 --> 00:45:23 - Michigan,
00:45:25 --> 00:45:27 - the home of a man named Walter Reuther,
00:45:28 --> 00:45:31 - a wire puller and a half, a man
00:45:31 --> 00:45:33 - behind the scenes that has more to do
00:45:34 --> 00:45:37 - with almost every major movement of the left
00:45:37 --> 00:45:39 - than you possibly could understand. I have an
00:45:39 --> 00:45:42 - I have an an episode on Walter Reuther,
00:45:42 --> 00:45:45 - and I suggest you listen to it,
00:45:45 --> 00:45:48 - because you'll be amazed. This man was behind
00:45:48 --> 00:45:50 - Earth Day. This man started the new left.
00:45:50 --> 00:45:53 - This man was the financial engine behind the
00:45:53 --> 00:45:54 - civil rights movement.
00:45:54 --> 00:45:55 - This guy was,
00:45:57 --> 00:45:59 - in so many ways, he was a huge
00:45:59 --> 00:45:59 - internationalist.
00:46:00 --> 00:46:02 - He was a bridge between the labor movement
00:46:03 --> 00:46:04 - and the internationalist
00:46:04 --> 00:46:05 - and,
00:46:06 --> 00:46:08 - and was, since he was with the auto
00:46:08 --> 00:46:09 - workers,
00:46:10 --> 00:46:12 - a a union that was devastated more than
00:46:12 --> 00:46:13 - any other
00:46:13 --> 00:46:15 - by the free trade regime of the globalist.
00:46:15 --> 00:46:17 - It was kinda handy to have a globalist
00:46:17 --> 00:46:18 - cheerleader
00:46:19 --> 00:46:20 - running that union
00:46:20 --> 00:46:22 - and not a nationalist
00:46:22 --> 00:46:25 - running that union. So Walter Ruth was huge.
00:46:25 --> 00:46:26 - So Johnson made this speech
00:46:26 --> 00:46:27 - in,
00:46:28 --> 00:46:31 - Michigan, May 1964, and he
00:46:31 --> 00:46:32 - unveils
00:46:32 --> 00:46:34 - the great society.
00:46:34 --> 00:46:37 - Great... The great society, a book written by
00:46:37 --> 00:46:39 - Graham Wallace in in the early nineteen hundreds.
00:46:40 --> 00:46:43 - Everybody in the intercollegiate socialist society was reading
00:46:43 --> 00:46:45 - it back then. I'm sure it was just
00:46:45 --> 00:46:46 - a coincidence that that was the name of
00:46:46 --> 00:46:49 - that book. Even though it talks about doing
00:46:49 --> 00:46:51 - the very things that Roosevelt started to do
00:46:51 --> 00:46:53 - and that Johnson would continue
00:46:54 --> 00:46:56 - with gusto. So it's kind of a pre...
00:46:56 --> 00:46:57 - Preview
00:46:58 --> 00:46:59 - of what's coming
00:46:59 --> 00:47:02 - with the new deal, but we'll, talk more
00:47:02 --> 00:47:03 - about,
00:47:03 --> 00:47:05 - with the... Excuse me, with the great society
00:47:05 --> 00:47:08 - legislation, but we will talk about that
00:47:09 --> 00:47:11 - in, I believe, the next episode.
00:47:12 --> 00:47:13 - So this race with Goldwater.
00:47:14 --> 00:47:16 - So they're making Kennedy out like a martyr.
00:47:17 --> 00:47:19 - Johnson's a hero because he's carrying the mantle
00:47:19 --> 00:47:22 - of the fallen leader, and they are demonizing
00:47:22 --> 00:47:23 - Goldwater.
00:47:24 --> 00:47:25 - You can't believe it, folks.
00:47:26 --> 00:47:29 - Not a positive word about Goldwater. Basically,
00:47:29 --> 00:47:32 - the theme was he was crazy, and all
00:47:32 --> 00:47:33 - of the networks were marching
00:47:34 --> 00:47:36 - psychiatrists on TV to say, Go Waters crazy.
00:47:37 --> 00:47:39 - He's insane. You can't let him near the
00:47:39 --> 00:47:40 - nuclear button.
00:47:40 --> 00:47:42 - And it was so bad that after the
00:47:42 --> 00:47:42 - election,
00:47:43 --> 00:47:46 - once they'd accomplished their mission, the American Psychiatric
00:47:46 --> 00:47:47 - Association,
00:47:48 --> 00:47:50 - put out a rule. It said that you
00:47:50 --> 00:47:52 - can't go out in public as a psychiatrist
00:47:53 --> 00:47:55 - and offer a psychological
00:47:55 --> 00:47:56 - diagnosis
00:47:57 --> 00:47:59 - of a public figure, and they called it
00:47:59 --> 00:48:02 - the Goldwater rule because they were doing so
00:48:02 --> 00:48:03 - much of that,
00:48:04 --> 00:48:04 - at that time.
00:48:05 --> 00:48:05 - So,
00:48:07 --> 00:48:09 - yeah, it was unbelievable, folks. Of course, they
00:48:09 --> 00:48:12 - they... It it kinda culminated with the Daisy
00:48:12 --> 00:48:14 - ad with the little girl picking flowers, and
00:48:14 --> 00:48:17 - then the nuclear bomb goes off.
00:48:17 --> 00:48:19 - And, you know, the implication at Goldwater, he
00:48:19 --> 00:48:22 - was gonna use nukes. He wanted to use
00:48:22 --> 00:48:24 - nukes everywhere. He was absolutely out of his
00:48:24 --> 00:48:25 - mind.
00:48:25 --> 00:48:26 - And so,
00:48:27 --> 00:48:28 - it was a wipeout.
00:48:29 --> 00:48:30 - It was a wipeout
00:48:31 --> 00:48:32 - in 1964,
00:48:32 --> 00:48:33 - although
00:48:33 --> 00:48:37 - Lyndon Johnson was even thinking about not running.
00:48:37 --> 00:48:39 - He was so afraid
00:48:40 --> 00:48:41 - of this conservative
00:48:41 --> 00:48:43 - undertone that he knew
00:48:44 --> 00:48:45 - was coming in this country. He wasn't afraid
00:48:45 --> 00:48:47 - to go water per se,
00:48:47 --> 00:48:49 - but he had a foreboding
00:48:50 --> 00:48:51 - about the future.
00:48:53 --> 00:48:55 - And, in some ways, it was
00:48:56 --> 00:48:57 - a legitimate one.
00:48:57 --> 00:48:59 - So we will talk more about that in
00:48:59 --> 00:49:01 - our next Johnson episode.
00:49:02 --> 00:49:04 - I wanna remind you that there's gonna be
00:49:04 --> 00:49:06 - an election in a few weeks, and there
00:49:06 --> 00:49:08 - may be a little hanky panky.
00:49:08 --> 00:49:09 - We're not quite sure.
00:49:10 --> 00:49:11 - We're told not by a lot of people,
00:49:11 --> 00:49:13 - but I think there might be a little
00:49:13 --> 00:49:14 - bit. It could be a ton
00:49:15 --> 00:49:16 - in some areas.
00:49:17 --> 00:49:19 - So I suggest you go every week and
00:49:19 --> 00:49:21 - look at securevote.news.
00:49:21 --> 00:49:23 - Secure vote.news
00:49:24 --> 00:49:26 - where we have the late... Latest
00:49:26 --> 00:49:29 - news information on all of the election integrity
00:49:29 --> 00:49:30 - issues
00:49:31 --> 00:49:31 - in America.
00:49:32 --> 00:49:34 - This is the hour of decision.
00:49:34 --> 00:49:35 - My name is Lou Moore.
00:49:36 --> 00:49:37 - Talk to you later.
