Yep, LBJ was heavily invested in Texas oil and defense services company Brown & Root, later known as Kellog, Brown & Root, better known to military folks as “KBR”, and one time a subsidiary of Halliburton. That company’s big goal in Vietnam (apart from building all the bases and roads, fuel depots, etc.) was dredging the Mekong Delta, ostensibly to generate hydroelectric power ala the Tennessee Valley Authority, but the ulterior motive most believed was oil. LBJ gave B&R favorable contracts and set them up well for any potential expansion of the war in Vietnam, and in return they had backed his campaigns heavily with funds ever since his congressional days. Both sides stood to make tons of $$$ from profiteering off of Vietnam War escalation—and JFK stood in the way of that.
As for “Lady Bird” Johnson, she also wasn’t guiltless in the war-profiteering: she owned substantial stock in a little company known as Bell Helicopter—manufacturer of the ubiquitous helicopter that would ferry thousands of American troops to and from their deaths in the jungles, and rain death on thousands more Vietnamese.
Yep, that is what she was insinuating. It has been a long time since I saw that article and I didn't remember word for word. She didn't go into detail, at least it was not printed, so not many specifics, names were not named that I recall, except LBJ.
So what did what the leak said mean? He said what got JFK killed was he "messed with the banking elite", that was a quote. Could JFK not allowing the Vietnam war, and LBJ et al., possibly missing out on the money from oil, B & R contracts, etc. if war didn't happen, all be be lumped together and simply referred to as, "Messing with the banking elite?" Or are they not at all related?
JFK wanted to break up the Federal Reserve, bring back the gold standard, and smash the CIA into a thousand pieces & “sow them to the winds”....small wonder he was massacred in Dallas.
Ok so there were several reasons. I do remember those two facts. In general it is common knowledge about the Reserve, and also the quote about the CIA. Which reminds me . . . that same leak said, before the 2016 election, that Chaffetz allegedly had planned to go after the Reserve, if POTUS was elected. Well he was, and look what happened shortly thereafter. He was outta there . . . didn't even finish his term. Someone told me (who worked on an election in his state, that was to do allegedly w/ certain threats he and his family received). Just what I heard, IDK for sure.
