  • On November 27,1963, in the wake of JFK's assassination, President Johnson delivered his landmark "Let Us Continue" address. In a speech that Jeff Shesol (former speech writer to President Clinton) calls "masterful", Johnson inspires a grieving nation and pledges to carry forward Kennedy's legacy.

    100 young Americans killed in Vietnam when JFK died, 58,000 young Americans killed in Vietnam at the end of the war - a war escalated by LBJ.

      Most if not all of Kennedys policies Johnson carried out were non-profitable for him ( Johnson ) and his cronies. Such as The Civil Rights Act, among others. The very unpopular Vietnam war which Johnson wanted, ( and Kennedy did not ) generated millions of dollars for Johnson and his cronies. Johnson carried out Kennedys policies as a front to further make it appear that he was not involved in JFKs murder.

    LBJ said He was looking for Peace but then the Gulf of Tonkin lie happened and He even admitted in written Documents and Speeches that it was in the interest of the United States to spread its Business interests throughout the World which was the actual reason why the United States was involved in Vietnam.

      @@randyharris3175e LBJ didn't have much of a choice on a lot of it. He didn't actually want the civil rights movement. Him and his buddy FBI director Hoover were KKK together living next door to each other for 20 years. LBJ's personal hitman Malcolm Wallace Killed more than 20 people for him including his own sister. He was tried and convicted for it and given a suspended sentence by the judge. LBJ was ruthless in his quest to become President. He had to or he would have gone to prison. George H. W. Bush also did a few good things in office. He was also a mastermind and present with a 17 year old "W" at the assassination.

    In Jim Marrs books reporters asking (19:24 studymark by Joey Karpinski assistant to Mr. Rockefeller) Oswalds girlfriend or wife was asked as stated "if you want to know who killed Kennedy go on over to the FED!" I think President Kennedy at the time was wanting to help us by using our Treasury...to do so.

      "Please don't miss reading one of Jim Marrs books."
      *Cough*
      Jim Marrs is one of the most dishonest authors of any book about the JFK assassination I have ever encountered. When I pointed out to him how badly he had misrepresented Jack Ruby's Warren Commission testimony in "Crossfire" he mistakenly assumed I was not all that familiar with that testimony and proceeded to quote only the sentences from it which seemed as if Ruby was hinting that he knew more about the JFK assassination itself than he was willing to tell in Dallas. I then proceeded to quote the parts where Ruby said that the John Birch Society of Dallas, including Edwin Walker, were trying to falsely implicate him as being directly involved in the JFK assassination itself, not just the murder of Oswald, because they hated Jews and Ruby was a Jew. Marrs then did an about face, directly contradicting what he had said before, and claimed that Ruby's WC testimony was altered, and it wasn't what he really said, which would include the parts of the same testimony that Marrs himself quoted, which he had previously claimed were genuinely what Ruby said.

    • @aaronz7056
      @aaronz7056 8 месяцев назад

      Jim Marrs' record:
      - gave his middle finger to the family of a decorated police officer slain in the line of duty as he obscenely accused the man, with zero evidence, of being a conspirator so long as it suited his crackpot and idiotic "theories"
      - came up with a "mysterious deaths list" of witnesses where everybody on it either had little or no connection to the case or else he misreported their causes of death in order to sound more "sinister"
      - gave us the "multiple Oswald clones running around" idiocy
      - proved UFO's and flying saucers are real...

He appealed it to the US Supreme Court and was heard in 1964 in this court majority ruled, a indigent person has a right to an appointment of counsel
