[…] the role of Johnson as the incoming President, I was wondering what you thought of the recent news of Billy Sol Estes’ remarks that LBJ ordered the murder of Henry Marshall.(6) This, added to the picture painted in Robert Caro’s recent biography of Johnson’s early years, suggests that LBJ was certainly capable of Kennedy’s […]
[…] September 1987. Letters to the Editor Sir, I realise that I must temper my language in reference to the recent article by David McKittrick, ‘Doubts over Ulster murder claims’ (Independent 2/9/87).

[…] began running interference for MI5 at the Wapping gulag. I wrote to Mr Greenslade pointing out these earlier events but to date have received no reply. The murder of WPC Yvonne Fletcher Joe Vialls’ exploration of this murder – which he thinks he committed, while under some kind of mind control – has taken […]
[…] first discussed the same deals (San Francisco Chronicle, 1/6/87, from Washington Post Wire). Shortly before his death in July 1986 – which many believe to have been murder (Executive Intelligence Review, August 1, 1986, p. 47; Los Angeles Times, June 12/13, 1987) – Hashemi also offered to help the government gain release of the […]
