Richard Thomas: The final documentary in Nigel
Turner's 9-part series The Men Who Killed Kennedy, "The Guilty Men,"
which speculated about Lyndon Johnson's involvement in the assassination was
banned after its initial broadcast on the History Channel back in 2003. How
significant do you think LBJ's involvement was in the assassination, and are
there any parallels to be made with 9/11 and George Bush's War on Terror
continuing under President Obama?
Jim Marrs: Common sense would dictate that one
does not kill the president of the United States without being assured that his
successor would not track and prosecute the culprits. I do not personally
believe that LBJ had any foreknowledge of the details of the plan as he would
have wanted "plausible deniability." However, I think he generally
knew what was up and was in agreement as it was his lifelong dream to become
president and he would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
The parallels between the JFK assassination
and 9/11 are numerous. In many ways, the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks fit the
same template as the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963:
• Within hours, despite a lack of real
evidence, one man was blamed for the event along with hints that he was
connected to foreign enemies.
• Official pronouncements were widely
publicized only to be quietly admitted as errors later on.
• Although within the jurisdiction of the
local authorities, the entire case was usurped by the FBI and CIA, both
agencies under the control of a president who benefited from the tragedy. In
2001, FEMA, also controlled by the president, was added to this list.
• A group of specialists (medical in the JFK's
case and engineers in that of the WTC) was convened but limited in what they
could view and study, blocked from conducting an objective probe by federal
officials.
• Evidence in the case was hastily removed and
destroyed, forever lost to an impartial and meaningful investigation.
• More evidence was locked away in government
files under the excuse of "national security."
• Federal malfeasance was excused by claiming
lack of manpower and resources and no one was disciplined or fired. Federal
agency budgets were increased.
• Any alternative to the official version of
events was decried as "conspiracy theory" and
"unpatriotic."
• The federal government used the event to
increase its own centralized power.
• A foreign war (Vietnam in JFK's case and
Iraq and Afghanistan today), which otherwise would have been opposed, was
supported by a grieving population.
• A top government leader (then LBJ and now
Bush), formerly under suspicion for election fraud and corrupt business
dealings, was suddenly propelled to new heights of popularity.
• Many citizens knew or suspected that the
official version of events was incorrect but were afraid to speak out.
• A compliant and sycophantic mass media was
content to parrot merely the official version of events and studiously avoided
asking the hard questions that might have revealed the truth.
• In yet another strange parallel to the
Kennedy assassination, in the months and years following 9/11, an increasing
number of potentially crucial witnesses began suffering untimely deaths.
