Deathbed Confession of Howard Hunt Fingers LBJ in JFK Murder

Ever since that late morning is Dealey Plaza Dallas Texas, November 22nd 1963, the soul of America has been tortured by lingering doubts about the official version of the murder of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Chief Justice Earl Warren was appointed by Lyndon Baines Johnson to head the official investigation, the Warren Commission. After reviewing all the evidence, the Commission's final report named Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone gunman responsible.

In 1966, the bestselling book, Six Seconds in Dallas, raised important questions pointing to evidence which indicated that there was more than one shooter. More than one shooter would indicate a conspiracy, so the next question would be "Who else was involved?" Due to lingering public doubts, a Congressional investigation reopened the case in the 1970s, and did uncover additional evidence of a wider conspiracy, and motives for a conspiracy not explored by the Warren ommission. But again, the trail had gone cold, and no other conspirators were conclusively named. Since the Congressional investigation closed, conspiracy theories have been kept alive by statements from mobsters such as Santos Trafficante and others.

Intriguing evidence from the time pointed to gunshots possibly fired from the Grassy knoll, and men detained, then released by Dallas police at the railroad tracks behind the fence at the grassy knoll. Some witnesses identified E. Howard Hunt as among this group. Howard Hunt would gain later notoriety as a central figure in the Watergate Conspiracy. A network of Cuban freedom fighters and CIA operatives were caught red-handed trying to obtain Democrat party records in a covert burglary. The nest of intrigue uncovered was sufficient to bring about the end of the Nixon Presidency.

Fast forward to the present, now the eldest son of E. Howard Hunt, Saint John Hunt, has come forward with his father's deathbed confession tapes, revealing that Lyndon Johnson, Kennedy's Vice President, and thereby the man with the most to gain, orchestrated a larger conspiracy to eliminate JFK. First Lady Jackie Kennedy always suspected LBJ, from the day of her husband's death. Late in the day of November 22nd, she stood by at LBJ's swearing in as President, still wearing the pink dress stained with the President's blood. When asked by reporters why she did not change, she replied, "I want them to see what they have done to my husband." A mistress of LBJ did publically admit that the former president had confided to her his role in the crime, but her admission has been discounted for years. A best-selling biography of LBJ in the 1990s seemed to point in this direction as well. Other criminals, with connections to the French underworld, have admitted to being part of other shooting teams at Dealey Plaza. A trial in the 1960s, led by the District Attorney in New Orleans (Garrison), centered on elements of the mafia working with the CIA as part of the conspiracy, but was unable to obtain any convictions.

E. Howard Hunt, a CIA covert agent and Foreign Station Chief, was the Leader of the White House "plumbers" team, who's burglary eventually brought about the resignation of then President Richard Nixon. E. Howard Hunt, who passed away at the age of 88, was involved in many of the CIA's most notorious operations in Cuba and Central & South America. Hunt is considered by some investigators to be one of the "tramps" detained, photographed and released without arrest or charges near the grassy knoll at Dealey Plaza. All sources agree that Hunt could have had knowledge of the players, and motives in the most mysterious assassination in US history. Many life-long students of this event are having a hard time ignoring this new evidence.
