Nelson's LBJ Mastermind book

[Dawn Meredith]

Spare me your arguments from authority.

And yes, I understand that, when all is said and done, that's all you've got when you attempt to defend the indefensible "LBJ as 'mastermind'" nonsense.

Nelson, Hunt, McClelland, and Estes are criminals -- in varying senses of the word. Their stock in trade? DISINFORMATION!

Ms. Brown is something other than a scholar of deep politics.

You are a respected, indeed honored member of the research community. But you're dead wrong on this issue.

Sleep warm.

And seriously, I wish you and yours a most peaceful and prosperous New Year.

In friendship,

Charles

The name is Barr McClellan guys. (CD and JIm Fetzer). Barr is an old friend and I like him a great deal. However when I read his book I was just stunned at all the errors. I immediately wrote a three page single spaced email to him pointing out the errors.
I learned that Walt Brown had spent hours on the phone with him correcting these errors. But the corrections did not make it into the book. THe best part of this book is the Mac Wallace information, and the fingerprint match.
LBJ was a "stone cold killer" who utilized Malcolm "Mac" Wallace on many occassions to take care of those who would attempt to bring down LBJ.
But was Wallace really on the 6th floor? I do not know. I know the fingerprint evidence is solid because Nathan Darby was the best and he was also honest to a fault. He took not a dime for his work and, when on October 25, 2003 at a joint birthday party I had here for Nathan and myself he explained the match point by point to myself and Richard Bartholomew.
Could someone have planted Wallace's print on the 6th floor? Quite likely. Or he was there. Either way this does NOT make LBJ the mastermind.
Barr wrote his book sans any knowledge of the true facts about the assassination of JFK. He simply made things up: like Mac Wallace and LHO target practicing together. Good God. And many more equally troubling falsehoods.

However there is proof that LBJ was seeing a psychiatrist and that he had a mental breakdown. Barr has spent years trying to obtain these records. With no success, as can be imagined.

With all that is known about the assassination of our 35th President a person setting out to write a book about any aspect of this case must first take sufficient time to acquaint him or herself with the evidence that has stood the test of time.

My friend Barr did not do this and it appears that Mr. Nelson erred in the same manner.
