131. First off, you are wrong about what we know about Oswald.

The preponderance of evidence we have shows Oswald had extensive ties to US Ingelligence. Two pioneering works on the subject are "Spy Saga: Lee Harvey Oswald and US Intelligence" by Philip Melanson and "Oswald and the CIA" by John Newman. The CIA had been monitoring Oswald's actions in the weeks before the assassination. The story was covered up, but has been chronicled by Jefferson Morley in "Our Man in Mexico City: Winston Scott and the Hidden History of the CIA."

Oswald's story was used by people in government to tie the assassination to the communists, hoping to start that World War the commie haters so wanted. Why would anyone want to do that, besides to help start World War III?

LBJ's taped phone conversations show that the Warren Commission was established to put a lid on conspiracy talk that would lead to that conclusion. A transcript of a conservation with Sen. Richard Russell:

Telephone Conversation between the President and Senator Russell, 29 Nov 1963, 8:55PM

EXCERPT...

I told Warren...Warren told me he wouldn't do it under any circumstances
...didn't think the Supreme Court Justice ought to go..wouldn't have any-
thing to do with it..he said a man that criticized this fellow that went on the
Nuremberg trial...Jackson...he told me what he thought about Goldberg
...he thought that was terrible...and I said let me read you one report..and
there's 40 million Americans involved here...

Well you want me to tell you the truth? You know what happened?
Bobby and them went up to see him today and he turned them down cold and
said NO. Two hours later I called him and ordered him down here and he
didn't want to come. I insisted he come..came down here and told me No
twice and I just pulled out what Hoover told me about a little incident in
Mexico City and I say now, I don't want Mr. Kruschev to be told tomorrow
and be testifying before a camera that he killed this fellow
..and that Castro killed him and all I want you to do is look at the facts and
bring in any other facts you want in here and determined who killed the
President and I think you can put on your uniform of World War I..fat as you
are...and do anything you could to save one American life...and I'm
surprised that you the Chief justice (sic) of the U.S. would turn me down..
And he started crying and said, well I won't turn you down..I'll just do
whatever you say..but he turned the General down...

LBJ even made Earl Warren cry about it, forcing him to take the job.

The best book on the Warren Commission I've read is "Breach of Trust: How the Warren Commission Failed the Nation and Why" by Gerald D. McKnight.
