(8,646 posts)that was my grandfather's conclusion as soon as he heard the news. My dad and I were just talking about it the other day. My grandfather, who passed a couple years ago at age 97, was a political junkie (now we know where I get it from, LOL) and remarked to my father when they heard the news that, "That POS Johnson did this, I have NEVER trusted that guy." My dad confirms that my grandfather always hated LBJ, and predicted that he would 'do something' one day. I personally lean more towards GHWB being involved somehow.
One thing in this thread I find fascinating is how many people are reticent to question their government's narrative. I don't know of any one in my family, on both sides, some Liberals (big L) some conservatives (big and small C) and some NDP ('soshalist', lol) - all of us here in Canada - that doesn't believe that the whole thing is rotten to the core. It seems Americans are in a bit of denial about how corrupt their government looks to the rest of the world, and also seem to be worried about questioning their own government. I don't get that. Deep down I think Americans live in fear of their own government. mho.
