Reply #111: Agree with you in the sense that LEADERS were involved....Police Dept was KKK ...

50% of it, anyway --

But, I don't see any reason to believe that all Texans wanted that to happen --

in fact, the contrary was obvious the day of JFK's visit.

He was a popular president who would have been re-elected, probably also in Texas?

I think the state was very right-wing, but what it had to do with ALL citizens, I'm not sure.

The original taking of Texas -- the whole oil industry -- points to leadership by people who

would be hyper right-wing.

And the wealthy have a way of either reaching office or putting someone they're paying into

office -- I think LBJ was an example of that -- and so was Nixon.

And, IMO, our elections are questionable all the way back to Nixon/Humphrey!


PS: Just want to add this which should have been in the post earlier . . . that I've been
very grateful to very brave Texans who tried over and again to tell the truth about the JFK
assassination -- long list of them and many of them dead for their trouble!

Jean Hill, of course -- but many, many others -- and still, I think, they gather there on the
anniversary to make clear their dissent with the Warren Report.

It's also ironic, that all of the US is pretty much now in the same boat as Texas has been . . .
that is, taken over by right-wing leadership which is violent and very powerful.

This whole fascist thing has advanced very quickly over the years, under cover of covert
activities -- and thanks to W and Cheney, as well.

We ALL need to find a way out of this soon --

And let me be clear that it was obvious that when we didn't challenge the JFK coup -- which
was basically a coup on a "people's" government, fascism would take over!
