[…] of things did strike me. On Israeli nuclear development: “Perhaps the most significant development of 1963 for the Israeli nuclear programme, however, occurred on November 22nd … LBJ was sworn in..” (p165) “Kennedy was less than whole-heartedly pro-Israeli.” Author Green comments on a Kennedy-Golda Meir exchange that it was “the last time for many, […]
[…] and Carter – who tried to slow/stop the nuclear arms race, were right. But Kennedy was killed (if not by the Pentagon, by one of the politicians, LBJ, who fronted for it on Capitol Hill) and Carter retreated when his talk of nuclear disarmament was rubbished at home and in the Kremlin (where there […]
[…] of sense, why do something so massive and so economically destructive? The same propaganda effect, the same stampeding of Congress, could have been achieved with infinitely less. LBJ stampeded Congress with nothing more than radar contacts between North Vietnamese and US boats in the Gulf of Tonkin. If you wanted to blame al-Qaeda for […]

[…] the suicided Estes witnesses. Who would murder Marshall but someone threatened by his inquiries? Who was most threatened?
