... in 1960. As mentioned above, Binyon was one of Johnson's sponsors. Although he could hardly read or write, he had worked his way up from a gambler-cum-enforcer in early twentieth-century Texas to become a land and casino owner in Nevada worth some $100 million on his death. On the way, he'd killed people who offended him, including 'a nigger' he'd caught stealing whiskey. When he casually confessed to this at a hearing to renew his gambling license, the committee agreed with him that this didn't really count. He once physically ejected a black, disabled war veteran from one of his casinos, throwing both him and his wheelchair into ...

' Looking for something else I found a cutting in my files, 'Radar kills 8 scientists', from the now defunct Today of 24 March 1989, which began: 'Eight scientists at a secret government base have died of brain tumours. New radar trials using deadly microwaves have been halted. ' The 'ramifications' I referred to above have begun to appear in public. In October Newsday magazine reported the filing of ...

... paying attention to the LBJ- dunnit version of the Kennedy assassination in the past few years in these columns will recognise the name of Merritt's co- author, Douglas Caddy. For it was Caddy who presented to the US Department of Justice the affidavit of Billy Sol Estes, which named LBJ and others as being the perpetrators of the Dallas killing. As a young lawyer in Washington at the time of Watergate, Caddy worked for the Mullen Company, a CIA front, and represented 'the plumbers' when they got busted.3 Caddy writes a foreword and an afterword trying to contextualise these rambling memories of Merritt's. In some ways these are the best bits of the book. ...

It wasn't the mob, or the CIA, or the anti-Castro Cubans; it was LBJ, a bent Texas politician. Last | Contents | Next ...

... Glubb was Sir John Glubb, the British commander of the army of Jordan, the Arab Legion, during the period when the Israelis were creating the 'refugee problem' which forms the backdrop to much of today's news from the Middle East. Morris shows how he began as sympathetic to the Israelis but, watching the new state being built by killing, expelling or subjugating its original inhabitants, Glubb became anti-Israeli and finally, in later life anti-Jewish. That much is intelligible to this general reader. The rest is footnotes to the major story about which Morris has written elsewhere, and which will only be of use to historians of the period.

Crucially, he accepts the received view that JFK and LBJ were the same: he is apparently unaware of JFK's plan to pull the US out of Vietnam. 'Nor is there any reasons to suppose that things would have been any different had Kennedy not been killed, for he was every bit as rigid a Cold Warrior as Johnson. ' ( p. 188) This simply is not true and the fact that it is stated here by someone of Kahin's standing and experience is further depressing evidence that the knowledge of the period acquired by the Kennedy assassination researchers has yet to make its way into ...

Nearly 40 years have now passed since Hofstadter's article first appeared, and in that time the world has been plagued by terrorism, assassination, genocide and war. Parapolitical structures headquartered in caves have laid waste Wall Street, killing thousands of Americans.
