NEWSFLASH!
E Howard Hunt confessed on his deathbed. He and Frank Sturgis were the two "bums" arrested at the grassy knoll (see A.J. Weberman".
Johnson was behind the assassination according to E. Howard Hunt.
A recent VP tried the same thing but was foiled. You can thank me.
From Rolling Stone's article about his deathbed confession:
E. Howard scribbled the initials "LBJ," standing for Kennedy's ambitious vice president, Lyndon Johnson. Under "LBJ," connected by a line, he wrote the name Cord Meyer. Meyer was a CIA agent whose wife had an affair with JFK; later she was murdered, a case that's never been solved. Next his father connected to Meyer's name the name Bill Harvey, another CIA agent; also connected to Meyer's name was the name David Morales, yet another CIA man and a well-known, particularly vicious black-op specialist. And then his father connected to Morales' name, with a line, the framed words "French Gunman Grassy Knoll."
So there it was, according to E. Howard Hunt. LBJ had Kennedy killed. It had long been speculated upon. But now E. Howard was saying that's the way it was. And that Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't the only shooter in Dallas. There was also, on the grassy knoll, a French gunman, presumably the Corsican Mafia assassin Lucien Sarti, who has figured prominently in other assassination theories.
"By the time he handed me the paper, I was in a state of shock," Saint says. "His whole life, to me and everybody else, he'd always professed to not know anything about any of it. But I knew this had to be the truth. If my dad was going to make anything up, he would have made something up about the Mafia, or Castro, or Khrushchev. He didn't like Johnson. But you don't falsely implicate your own country, for Christ's sake. My father is old-school, a dyed-in-the-wool patriot, and that's the last thing he would do."
Later that week, E. Howard also gave Saint two sheets of paper that contained a fuller narrative. It starts out with LBJ again, connecting him to Cord Meyer, then goes on: "Cord Meyer discusses a plot with [David Atlee] Phillips who brings in Wm. Harvey and Antonio Veciana. He meets with Oswald in Mexico City. . . . Then Veciana meets w/ Frank Sturgis in Miami and enlists David Morales in anticipation of killing JFK there. But LBJ changes itinerary to Dallas, citing personal reasons."

How about that?
You thought it was just a bunch of CRAZY CONSPIRACY THEORISTS.
Not so crazy now, huh?
Perhaps we would all be happier if I had let the dirty treasonous deed be done.
He would have made a fine President.
That was my script.
Loonies?
Stupids believe politicians, the government, the corporate news media and the official story.
You calling E. Howard Hunt a liar?
I wouldn't want to piss him off even after he is dead.
He could kick Jack Bauer's ass.
He is glad that Blagojevich got nailed before he got his taint on Obama.
HEY, it's Illinois for crying out loud. Politics in Illinois stinks like a whorehouse at low tide.
