Sometimes It Really Is A Conspiracy

Johnson Did It: LBJ’s Role in the JFK Assassination

Author: Alex P. Serritella

Publisher:Bookstand Publishing, Morgan Hill, CA, 2018

I must admit I jumped at the opportunity to review this book. I felt it should have been my book for based on my interaction with Texan businesspeople who knew some of the players the author talks about, there was no question in their mind, Johnson Did Itindeed. And thus, it became my belief. This book was going to tell why and how, and much more. And it delivered.

The first thing a reader has to do, however, is to realize that sometimes if it smells like a conspiracy theory, chances are it is.

Serritella’s book goes to great length to prove that in this case, when all is put in perspective, a sane, honest and non-fearing person, will come to the conclusion that the real story of John F. Kennedy’s death was kept from the public at any cost – even the murder of so many others.

We don’t know much about the author save and except he was in Chicago, has a B.A. in Psychology, has studied the JFK assassination for over 15 years and has written another book about abuse and regret in the sex-change industry. And oh yes, he is a meticulous researcher of details and information, both of which he puts to great use in this book.

His introductory chapter prepares you for what you are about to read and why it matters. And then he jumps right into telling you why anybody would want JFK dead and who they were.  The list is long but for the most part, they are all connected. On page 14 he relates Robert Kennedy’s perspective of Teamsters. Well worth the read. It reminded me of Government today in America.

He takes the time to educate us on how the CIA works. With reference to the 1954 coup in Guatemala, he explains how the U.S. tried to justify it by seeking evidence of Soviet influence in the Guatemalan government, but to no avail.  Sound familiar these days?

John Kennedy was anti-mafia, anti-war, anti-oil depletion allowance, anti-Federal Reserve System (FRS), and anti-racism. Kennedy was also the first U.S. president to have a direct phone line to the Kremlin in Moscow because he didn’t trust the CIA. These alone gave him all the enemies he could afford. But could any of them pull off his murder and cover up the evidence? No. That took a ‘higher power’.

[By the way, the FRS is not federal. It’s privately owned by member banks. It makes its own policies and is not subject to oversight by the U.S.  Think about that when you hear they’re putting rates up or down.]

Chapter three introduces us to Lyndon Baines Johnson. It appropriately is called “Scandals, Murders, Etc.” If you read nothing else in this 525-page work, read this chapter.  That is, if your stomach can handle it.  Reading it, made me want to lead a campaign to destroy or rename everything that has the LBJ name attached to it – and there are a lot of things that do.

What you’ll discover about J. Edgar Hoover is a bonus. But just as vial.

In chapter four, Serritella goes to great lengths to explain the planning and scheming behind that motorcade ride, the change of route at the last moment, and the lack of security involved. The interplay of the various security agencies involved is a story in itself. Coincidence has to be ruled out.

In chapter five, the author delves into the aftermath immediately following the assassination of the President and the players involved both publicly and behind the scenes. He recounts the murders that ensued to keep the truth hidden from the world.

Chapter six, by far the longest in the book goes into extreme detail about all the evidence, both with the wounds and weapons that were used or that the government claims were used.  This takes us to the various investigations and commissions that were authorized to address the concerns of the public. And we are provided with evidence of changed testimony to suit the desired outcomes of the Government.

Chapter seven is an account of Lee Harvey Oswald and why he was not the killer. That’s a fascinating story of how one man can be used by so many.

The eighth chapter sets up the cover-up that started after the deed was done and continues to this day. [Why has President Donald Trump blocked the release of JFK assassination files he had so quickly promised to release earlier?]  Personally, I realized that all these years I too had been duped by the Warren Commission Report which I had read (100’s of pages of it) as soon as it was published. And the chapter leaves no leaf unturned, exploring even why Robert Kennedy and others after him like Ted Kennedy remained silent with what they knew. I won’t give you any spoilers.

In his last chapter before the closing summary one, the author speculates on what exactly did happen. But as a reader, you have to decide whether what he has laid out for you in this masterpiece on the subject, is indeed the most likely scenario of what happened. If so, you have to come to grips with the fact that the American government institutions established to protect the free world, and more importantly the citizens of the United States, are indeed more corrupt than the corruption they pretend to fight.

Reading this book brought me to two major conclusions: First, what we hear on the news from all the networks and sources combined is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what is actually going on and what our democratic governments are up to.  Second, if you get on the wrong side of these forces, there is no one but God that can save you. I’m afraid the best is not yet to come. Be vigilant. Your only source of salvation clearly does not lie in the White House.

Highly recommended for anyone who really cares.

This Book Should Become a Classic on Political Corruption and Cover-ups

The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ (book review)

On November 22, 1963, in my 16^th year of life, I was taking a high school ‘typing’ exam while John F. Kennedy, just 30 years older, was being murdered. As I watched the news videos that accompanied that event up to the rushed swearing in of Lyndon Baines Johnson, with Kennedy’s widow at his side, I could not help but be totally shocked at the physiognomy of LBJ. Something wasn’t right. In my mind, Johnson must have had something to do with Kennedy’s murder, but what?

Over the next few decades, my work involved opportunities to meet with some Texans, both Republicans and Democrats who confirmed my worst thoughts. LBJ had indeed been involved in a major way in the killing of JFK. But who would listen to any of us? We all lived in both shock and silence. And then, in 2013, along came Roger Stone’s book (written with Mike Colapietro and published by Skyhorse Publishing in New York), The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ. I had to read it.

The book should become a classic when it comes to “exposing” corruption. And Stone pulls no punches.  For example, Joseph Kennedy, JFK’s father, is exposed as shameless in how he went about getting his way. In fact, the private lives and the private language of most of the key players (John and Robert Kennedy included) is also shocking and not for the consumption of minors.

Roger Stone painstakingly describes the role of the Mafia, the CIA, and the FBI not only in the murder of JFK but also in many political actions that presidents of both parties have made over the years. The explanation of what went down over the Cuban crisis is a highlight in the story and perhaps what gave initial rise to the eventual assassination of the President. Having read that, there is no doubt in my mind that the blackmailing going on by these three entities in America today is what makes so many conservative (and sometime liberal) politicians eunuchs when it comes to decisive action that matters.

The author’s account of the Warren Commission on the assassination of Kennedy systematically destroys its Report (read by me and millions of others) as being yet another total cover-up. And he later exposes a few other such activities in the same way.

Spoiler-alert (hardly): This book makes a very clear case for finding LBJ guilty of playing a key role, not just of JFK’s murder, but many more, and with considerable, hard-to-argue with, evidence. Much of what drove Johnson was his own personality, his greed, and his feelings that a) he deserved anything he wanted (from women, including Jackie Kennedy to power to gold hidden in New Mexico – an incredible story in itself, also covered in detail by Stone in the book) and b) he was unstoppable, as he had so many people in his pocket. Stone also portrays Johnson as a ruthless tyrant in all his dealings with people who crossed him, let him down in any way, or resisted his right to do what he wanted. His impropriety left people stunned even at the time of their loss as described by his reactions to Jackie as well as Robert Kennedy immediately after the assassination.

While many of us may have thought there was a link between Johnson and the Kennedy assassination, something Stone confirms forcefully, many of us reading the book were shocked with Johnson’s role (Stone accuses him of murder) in the deaths of 34 and another 171 wounded service personnel, in the attack by Israel on the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967 (during the Six Day War) while it was in international waters north of the Sinai Peninsula. This alone made the book a great read.

But wait, there’s more for those who have been swayed by so many other authors on Kennedy’s death that attack any conspiracy theory and stand firmly behind the Warren Commission. He names several and explains why they too had ‘drunk the Kool-Aid’ in believing the cover-up that remains the “official” position of the government. But he saves his strongest criticisms (and rationale for it) for Bill O’Reilly, the American television host (for FoxNews), (so-called) historian, journalist, syndicated columnist, and political commentator and author of Killing Kennedy.

In addition to all the above, I confirmed three other key lessons from the book:

·      First, in a fallen world, most successful politicians are no ‘angels’ – far from it.

·      Second, the Government, even in a democracy, and even in America, does not always tell the truth.

·      Third, there is “truth” . . . and there is “official truth”.

While it can be argued that many “confidential information” records are considered “classified” for decades assumedly for national security purposes, I submit, and I believe Stone would agree with me, that some are kept as such just to protect those who have been inept or unethical in keeping their oaths of office to the people and to God.

This book is a must read for anyone with interest in truth, freedom, and democracy.
