  • it really disgusts me to still see people remembering LBJ as a great ex-president .

    i think it is the most disgraceful piece of history USA has had because of the doings of LBJ being unrevealed till now,and the fact he became the President by BULLETS and not Ballots.

  • Both of you need to keep your eyes on the ball.....I will give you a true in fact, while LBJ was being sworn in JFK's body was being moved into the cargo hold to alter the evidence proving a shot came from the front (FACT!) LBJ orchestrated the the entire plot from beginning to end.....

  • @Jedimaster802

    Be careful you can say those things to huskstered, he is extremely defensive of Johnson. Then he acts like he is never wrong,

  • @Jedimaster802 He still hasn't replied!!! I have endless facts to prove LBJ not only had JFK killed in addition to his own sister.....

  • I meant to say you can NOT say anything offensive about Johnson, as huckstered acts like his son.

    But try writing direct to huckstered and see if he reponds.

  • @045781 Hy how are ya? There are no doubts that LBJ had a Jekyll and Hyde

    type of Personality, along with a capacity

    for legislative genius and doing great Good. Underlying both was a ruthlessness and capacity for destruction. Both idiosyncracies of personality and an unsleeping ambition made him the unforgettable giant historical figure and undeniable

    senate power that he was.

  • DPD motorcop Billy Joe Martin, quote:

    Well, while Kennedy was busy shaking hands with all the well-wishers at the airport, Johnson's Secret Service people came over to the motorcycle cops and gave us a bunch of instructions. They also ordered us into the damdest escort formation I've ever seen. Ordinarily, you bracket the car with four motorcycles, one on each fender. But this time, they told the four of us assigned to the President's car there'd be no forward escorts.

  • Because you sau so all of these cirumstances make it so. So? circustance does not make

    for facts or evidence.

  • Johnson was truely a great American president..He stood for the people, middle class and the dwon-trodden...A truely wonderful super prezzzzz.....To bad, its been all been down here , ater Johnson..Don't believe the nay-sayers regarding Johnson..He did more for us, American people than most America Presidents.. GOD BLESS Johnson.

  • Also remember Johnson had $100 million when he died alot of money for a public servant.

    He made money off of the Vietnam war with Brown & Root.

    So he did profit personally from the Nam war, and to prolong it meant more money for him.

  • Completely false.

  • So if you think Johnson did not profit from Nam then you have been mislead.

    Johnson had a long and profitable partnership with Brown & Root which is now Enron.

  • Misled is the word. LBJ and brown and root's mutually beneficicial arangement was not from war profiteering. It was for Pork for the company in return for contributions.

  • God bless Lyndon Baines Johnson.

  • LBJ was a serial killer and mass murderer; read "The Texas Connection" by Craig Zirbel and any objective account of the Vietnam War

  • You are some sort of nut or something disparaging this great man,

    you are a mere you tube blogger with no

    sort of scrupples just quoting out of some obscure book.. All of that rot is B.S.

    and pure pretense and mockery.

  • "After tomorrow those Goddam Kennedys will never embarass me again, that's no threat that's a promise"

    Johnson said that the day before JFK was slaughtered.

  • Horseradish and hearsay from an old lady looking to make a few dollars off LBJ's name. No substantiation- all B.S.

  • The same thing is done to Lincoln.

    It is just a cheap fiction way to make

    money without having any writing skills.

    Anyone can do it. It is pulp fiction

    and has no historical value, keep reading though.

  • Fearing that his sister might pose a threat to his political career, LBJ had more work for Wallace. On December 25, 1961, LBJ's sister, Josefa Johnson, was found dead in bed at her Fredericksburg, Texas home at 3:15 am. The cause of death was stated to be a brain hemorrhage. Josefa Johnson had returned home at 11:45 pm from a Christmas party at Lyndon Johnson's ranch. There was no autopsy and no inquest; the death certificate was executed by a doctor who was not present to examine the deceased.

  • Wow , enlightening. Yea, I know, so? It is just more innuendo and subterfuge. Nothing more. All political leaders are subject to all of the B.S. Obama was not even supposed to be a citizen, according to many. More nonsense.

  • Not innuendo, it is a proven fact Johnson had ties to Wallace an assassin.

    His finger print was found at the TSBD, it has all been proven.

    Even one of Johnson's lawyer's wrote a book blaming Johnson for the plot to kill Kennedy.

    A grand Jury In Texas named Johnson responsible for 9 murders.

  • I have ties to some disreputable people too. Innocence is a given and anyone on this website can write anything, it is all meaningless drivel. Wild accusations mean nothing without actual disacreditation of an individual by an agency -govt. agency, or the courts not you or anyone else. "Proof" of wrongdoing by laymen is useless. It is all to make money nothing more. Keep on "researching". Anyone can claim anything and "write a book" on it.

  • "an agency -govt. agency, or the courts"

    Read my lips: A grand Jury in Texas Court has Blamed Johnson for 9 murders.

  • An grand jury blame does not guilty make. Once again you make huge leaps of

    faith without conviction.

  • Don't believe me, here's what Ruby said about Johnson. ?v=b-L5xYwb2ls

  • Believe you? You are just parroting

    what some rube wrote, is all.

  • Again Do Not believe me, that is fine.

    Watch on utube what Jack Ruby said about Johnson.

    ?v=b-L5xYwb2ls

  • Of course I don't believe you and lf course it is fine, whether it is fine with you

    or not is irrelevant.

  • I might as well believe statements from Charlie Manson.

  • You can not compare Johnson's attorney's,business associates,and his mistress with Charlie Manson.

    Johnson passed many laws while president but he also was an evil man.

  • I can say anything as outlandish as you. Do not be absurd. You have been deluded into believing

    such people? Johnson's mistress? Yes , obviously a person of impeccable integrity.

  • Yes agreed for his mistress to sleep with a married man shows no integrity.

    But just look at his actions following the assassination and he did everything to cover up the facts.

    That alone does not prove he was part of the plot, but also showed no integrity in the cover up.Also his rise as a senator is based on stealing votes & corrupution to the max. Still in my book he had JFK killed to save himself from political extinction.

  • LBJ won his senate seat by 87 votes. Many of the voter names were in alphabetical order. No proof of coverup. Rise was from money funneled from mineral and contractor interests in Texas in exchange for influence. The consumate politician .....he helped millions out of poverty, bigotry, ignorance and fear and escape the cycle of circumstance that kept them there. Genius.

  • "Johnson did steal elections , recieve graft

    etc, it is common knowledge"

    The above words are your words, the millions he helped seem to be overshadowed by the people he has killed.

  • First stolen election was in College

    for his nominee for. Student. Pres. Graft, no. Influence for Tx. priveleged? Yes. Natl. Gas sulfur, and oil interests-oil depletetion allowance etc. Money for Campaigns, yes. Graft? No, as it would ruin the quest for his "great goal". He was offered great wealth at times and declined,

    early- was revealed what that goal was. Even as a Cong. Rep of 7 years he had "less than $1000.00 saved".

    Comm. in the forties, yes.

  • To paraphrase a line from Robt. Caro, "Two threads run back through LBJ's life - one bright and one dark." Almost a Jeckyl and Hyde

    personality. (John Connally). Did he do a lot of good? Unquestionabiy. Almost everything he

    touched in the Senate revealed pol. genius. Born dirt poor in a remote Tx. area.... it is one of the great stories of history.

  • LBJ was treated like some sort of redneck from heck town at the very beginning of his career in congress. He was opportunistic, famous for his "Johnson Treatment," bullying tactics, and when I read his biography, he was connected to very corrupt but very powerful people..

    Like oil tycoon H. L. Hunt and Mafia crime bosses, like Jack Ruby and others.

  • That was "hick" town. Wrong people

    wrong circumstances again. For someone whom knows so little about LBJ, you sure go on and on. But, a lot of misinformation has

    been spread about him. His

    political acument was and is legendary and deserved, he was,a born politician. As Sen. Hubert Humphrey said " If you like politics, to know Lyndon Johnson is like sitting at the feet of a giant.

  • Anyone who was in awe of him did not know the real Johnson.

    Thanks for correction yes it a hick town, I have been there, just to see what Johnson stole.

  • You think youare so knowledgeable and you are not. I am in awe of political

    acumen as in FDR. How it is accumulated and used, and LBJ was its' master. No matter if you approved of him

    or not he was effective D.C. was his town. A hick from a povety stricken place

    and he reached so far and made it.

  • Reached so far and made it ?

    Well killing people sure helped to get there, which is what Johnson did.

    The proof is there for all to see who want to see the evidence.

    Johnson was a giant among killers, he knew how to kill and get away with it.

  • You bet he made it, arriving in D.C.

    @ 26 y.o.with one summer suit and a cardboard suitcase as a congressional secretary to Cong. Richard Kleberg

    (heir to the King Ranch)....

    He made it. He made it, reached so far ... and made it and then let the whole thing crash down on him. It is one of the great stories of history.

  • So go ahead, mindlessly snip away at the heels of the Texas giant and make your pathetic little noises , you make no difference at all. None of the rumormongering about LBJ does, you are just regurgitating that same nonsense. God has given you eyes but you are blind. His works and legacy will live on

    in the hearts and minds of Americans

    who know what a different nation it is today, due to LBJ.

  • Particularly when that political power is used to help millions of Americans. TO change the way of life of the downtrodden. So many misspellings you ain't very

    good at writing.

  • OR researching.

  • Also and only incidentally to add to you fount of misinformation a little truth,

    Enron has nothing whatsoever to do with enron. It is Kellogg-Brown and Root, now. Which is a division of Haliburton. Neither is Enron. Where do you get this stuff?

  • Oh by the way, it is Haliburton I had in mind not Enron.

    Thanks for the correction, remember when Brown & Root made money in Vietnam so did Johnson.

    Call it what ever you want, under the table,commission,Fee,Referral,­Graft,Pork,Kickback.

    Killing for money is the biggest sin.

  • You really don't know anything,

    you keep on and on making so many errors in syntax it is easy to tell you've no idea what you are talking about. Baloney. I am writing to you in earnest

    with names, dates and occurences. You make wild claims notating a mistress etc. Her believablilty is equivalent to yours.  Your creditability is as bad as your grammar and memory and claims. You callit what you want I don't call

    "it" anything. You do.

  • Sure Johnson did alot of good, I can not take that away.

    But the evilness out weigh's the good.

    By the way your forming of sentences's use of pronouns is the writing of 3rd grader.Try staying in school young man.

  • Evilness? Sentences's? Gibberish.

    That entire sentence is gibberish.

    "your forming of sentences's use of pronouns" ? I have reached the limits of your intelligence and the end of your comprehension.

    You're not even intelligible now. LBJ did evilness? You are a true scholar and and have as good a command of english as I have ever witnessed. You can't take anything away, you are deluded.

  • The laws that Johnson passed does not mean he had no involvement in the murder of JFK.

    Your post's suggest a some what idol worship of a mad man.

    Even RFK referred to Johnson as a nut case.

  • You've put an apostrophe in the word "post". Posting or postings would be correct. An apostrophe is only needed when in the possessive tense or in a contraction neither of which is what you mean. Keep on flapping, maybe you will make sense, sooner or later.

  • Your need to teach may be at the root of your understanding of Johnson.

    Put your efforts into learning than into teaching.

  • Anything else you want to know?

    Yes, I can teach you. Just ask.

  • Another problem you have is comprehension, I said you need to learn not teach.

    That is why no know nothing about Johnson.

  • It is very easy to understand a simpleton, besides deciphering your misspellings and grammatical mistakes. Look at your posting, it is all messed up again. If you are having troubles I would suggest getting some help so that I do not have to decipher and interpret such

    gibberish. Your replies are puerile, there is no dialogue. Unintelligibility and no depth of thought demonstrates a lack of intellect.

  • Excuse my absence from this site, I was posting with a of other conspiracy experts elsewhere, one on the Jewish conspiracy, 911 Bush insice job conspiracy, Jesuit conspiracy and lastly La Raza as a terrorist organization conspiracy. Conspiracies abound everywhere.

  • Until his inauguration in 1965, LBJ had no LEGITIMATE AUTHORITY TO ALTER THE COURSE JFK HAD SET IN MOTION. He did have the "usurped power" to change that course, but NOT the legal or moral authority to do so. But, that's exactly what he did.

  • yes, 045 , LBJ became POA imm. after JFK was pronounced dead in Dallas

    not at the swearing in or at the next election. The swearing in on Airforce one

    move was a political move not a legal one. LBJ could not repeal legislation, but did accumulate enough pol. power in

    thirty years to pass over 1000 pieces of legis. He took Kennedy's aganeda as his own anyway and out Kennedy'd -Kennedy.

  • LBJ murdered the duly elected "Kennedy administration"

    What this means, is that prior to LBJ having "won the right" to reverse the KENNEDY ADMINISTRATION'S policies, he was already of the mind set: "The king is dead; long live the king... blah, blah, blah." The transition was almost too even, too easy, too smooth.

  • Johnson was "an animal in many ways" as quoted by RFK.

  • The next "Must Read" book by yet another no -name author trying to attach themselves to a big name and discredit it

    and thereby bring themselves a windfall. It isn't even conjecture, it is B.S. Without

    empirical eveidence there is no proof. So what ? Read the National Enquirer

    it also is for enquiring minds -like yours . Better yet go watch -Ghost Stories- on cable television.

  • At least there is someone that recognizes the good that Lyndon Johnson did and not always talk about Vietnam.

  • With a few more dozen Senator Harkins, the US would be on the way to a greater society. Marvelous, humane, intelligent - a true American hero. A magnificent tribute to one of the most visionary leaders of the 2oth century. Thanks, Senator Harkin, and thank you LBJ.

  • Congratulations to those who are remind us that Lyndon Johnson was reponsible for the Voting Rights Act .. and that he actually believed that as a result it would be possible for a black man to become President at a time when even the greatest civil rights leaders didn't (believe).

    Thank God for the POSITIVE ACTS of Lyndon Baines Johnson ( forgive .. as God does .. the negatives )
