Did he order the hit?
Not a chance.
Could the hit, and cover-up, have been accomplished without his cooperation?
Not a chance.
Alas, "cooperation" is a vague concept in this and many other instances. "Cooperation" that was active? Passive? Intentional or purely circumstantial?
Myra Bronstein Wrote:Was the timing of the assassination driven by LBJ's problems and increasingly public scandals?
Clearly.
Alas, "driven" is a vague concept in this and many other instances. "Driven" as in the prime factor motivating the decision to kill?
Clearly not.
Ask yourself: If LBJ had not been scandalously vulnerable, would the hit never have been ordered?
Myra Bronstein Wrote:Did he reverse President Kennedy's Vietnam policy within days of the assassination?
Oh hell yeah.
How the hell does this fact -- and we're in agreement that the reversal did indeed take place -- incriminate LBJ as a prime mover or planner or pre-event facilitator?
Oswald, Castro, gusanos, the Right Wing, Big Oil, Big Business, CIA, LCN, Nazis, racists, J. Edgar Hoover, homosexual thrill-seekers, nearsighted deer hunters, the Three Stooges, the Three Musketeers (now we're on to something!) ... and one more ... oh yeah ... Lyndon Baines Johnson.
False sponsors one and all.
True facilitators?
Let's keep in mind that in order to assign roles in the conspiracy that took JFK's life, we first must develop a cogent hypothesis for the conspiracy's structure.
Absent this essential critical tool, we cannot hope to identify, let alone understand, this brilliant drama, its main and secondary characters, its theme and subtexts, and its author(s)' deeper motivations.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
