LP--

LBJ and former CIA director James Woolsey would disagree with you. But what do they know?

Each to his own.

Caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions.

I don't think LBJ and Woolsey knew any more than anyone else - Woolsey considerably less than most LNers and CTers. Your original piece connects "LBJ, with access to top secret information" to his statement about Castro. It doesn't say "access to top secret information that Castro had orchestrated the assassination" because there wasn't any. LBJ, of course, knew that good old Cui bono? pointed at him, so his Castro statement was somewhat self-serving.

LBJ's confusion is understandable given that he was getting most of his information from the clueless Mr. Hoover.

Well, the source for this quote is a book printed in 1991 by Georgie Ann Geyer. So who knows?

Wow!

Just. No.

This postulated theory is so whacked out, I refuse to touch it.

You go ahead and take a deep dive down that rabbit hole that leads to exactly nowhere if you like.

Might keep you out of other people's hair for awhile though with your non sequitor "research"

Dig deeper!
