[…] category. For all his wealth and foreign adventurism, JFK was extremely (politically) liberal. He began much of the civil rights legislation which was seen to completion by LBJ. He was interventionist rather than laissez-faire; he picked fights with the directors of US Steel and with the oil companies. And he was killed in that […]
[…] the Anglo-American intelligence and surveillance system, notably some GCHQ bases in the Far East, provided intelligence to the US. But despite a great deal of arm-twisting from LBJ, and despite Wilson’s utter dependence on the US at this point for financial assistance to defend the value of the pound, Harold Wilson refused to send […]
[…] act alone. One to insist that the bulb was altered after it was unscrewed, three tramps to walk across the room an hour later, one to insist LBJ really screwed the bulb in, and one to accuse all the others of being disinformation specialists. One of 52 pages of light bulb jokes found at […]
[…] claims to have been on the sixth floor of the TSBD ‘helping out’ the assassins when JFK was hit. And who was behind the murder? Step forward LBJ. Collom and Sample take Factor at face value and attempt to bolster his claims. Belongs on the shelf next to Henry Hurt’s championing of Easterling and […]

The incompetence which has been the hallmark of the world’s ‘most powerful man’ has left the world with a legacy we can only begin to rub our eyes at: George W. Bush’s successful derailing of concerted action on climate change; an energy crisis; a $3 trillion war (that’s just the cost to the Americans of […]

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, […]
