We know the members of this cabal, as they were the men who met in Dallas the night before the assassination: Clint Murchison Jr., H.
The plot to kill Kennedy, then, originated with a cabal, not with one man.
Nothing could then be accomplished by assassination. If they waited until Kennedy had another vice president, one who was not bought and paid for by the military-industrial complex, it would be too late. Kennedy had to be killed, and quick, before the growing Johnson scandal reached critical mass, giving Kennedy the pretext he needed to drop him. Kennedy was a problem for everyone, not just Johnson, and the solution was obvious. At the same time, it became known that Bobby Kennedy was working to expose Johnson’s various criminal activities and that Johnson would be dropped from the 1964 ticket-bad news for Johnson, but also bad news for Brown & Root, as well as for all the other companies in the military-industrial complex that so badly wanted the Vietnam War. Kennedy, however, became an obstacle to these profits when he announced his intention to withdraw the troops from Vietnam. As Brown & Root’s boy in Washington, he secured numerous federal contracts for the company that enabled it to make tremendous profits during the Depression and World War II. Johnson was a politician who was bought and paid for by the military-industrial complex-specifically, Brown & Root. There is no doubt that Johnson was involved, and that he had strong personal motives for wanting Kennedy dead, but it is an oversimplification to call this a Johnson plot. Hunt describes the assassination plot as entirely Lyndon Johnson’s. These are just two of many indicators that Hunt was involved, all of which are impossible to ignore, thus presenting a credibility problem with his “deathbed confession.”Īnd there is another problem. There is also the matter of the "bum" photographed in Dealey Plaza whom many persons, including his son, believe was Hunt. Even his own son doubts this part of the story, as he has firsthand knowledge that Hunt lied about his whereabouts on November 22, 1963. He claims he was asked to participate, but declined. But there’s someone missing from the list: Hunt himself. In the account he gave his son, Hunt names the right names: Lyndon Johnson, Cord Meyer, David Atlee Phillips, Antonio Veciana, and others whom JFK researchers have long believed were key players in the assassination.
#E HOWARD HUNT CONFESSION SCOPES PROFESSIONAL#
As a spy and a dirty trickster, his entire career was built on deception, therefore anything said by this professional liar, even on his deathbed, is automatically suspect. It’s all fascinating, of course, but I’m not sure about Hunt’s credibility. Howard’s Hunt posthumous book American Spy: My Secret in the CIA, Watergate, and Beyond. Yes, I read the Rolling Stone article and also quotes from E. How credible is this story? I would be VERY interested in your take on it. If not you really need to, as I know you are a serious scholar on the subject. So anyway, I was wondering if you have read it yet. Hunt's son says that despite his father's downplaying of any personal role in the murder, he feels that his father was far more involved than he would ever admit, even on his deathbed. Howard Hunt always denied any role in the assassination, but later to his son, implied that he knew of the conspiracy and was invited to participate but backed out, etc. Howard Hunt, and he knew so the first time he saw the picture. This particular man had been traditionally identified as Chauncey Holt, but Hunt says no, it absolutely is E.
Moreover, Hunt's son identifies one of the three "tramps" which were rounded up in Dealey Plaza that day. Oswald is in fact named as one of the gunmen, that is, Hunt stated that Oswald "wasn't the only gunman" there. (This certainly gives more credibility to Barr McClellan's recent statements.) Many names are named, including the actual grassy knoll shooters. As the story goes, Hunt confirmed that it was indeed a hit by the CIA in collaboration with Mafia elements as well, all ordered and orchestrated by none other than LBJ himself. A READER WRITES: I just wanted to drop you a quick line to ask whether or not you have read the recent Rolling Stone article about the supposed "deathbed confession" of sorts by E.
