American Pravda: JFK, LBJ, and Our Great National Shame, by Ron Unz

There are three topics in the U.S.’s past that are radioactive to this day: the atomic bomb, the Kennedy assassination, and the Vietnam War. They are radioactive because they say things about the U.S. and its government that few Americans want to confront. For the last several years, the alternative media and even the mainstream media have carried stories about the maladies afflicting the American soul. On a wider scale, millions of Americans have a simple gut feeling that something is very wrong. They are very right, but recovery won’t happen until Americans start telling themselves the truth about this history and conduct the searing moral examination that that truth requires.

I suspect this article won’t get a lot of hits, but it’s an important article. From Ron Unz at unz.com:

Back in 2019 a prominent public figure—whose name is widely known—came to Palo Alto to have a private dinner with me. Apparently he’d become aware of my controversial writings the previous year on the JFK Assassination and in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein revelations, he’d concluded I was probably correct that Israel and its Mossad had likely been heavily responsible for the death of our 35th president. As we discussed the issue that evening, I endorsed elements of his reasoning and explained that the Mossad had also played the central role in the 9/11 Attacks, something that greatly surprised him since he’d apparently never looked into those matters.

But although I emphasized that there was very strong evidence implicating the Mossad in the 1963 events in Dallas, a possibility still only whispered about in most JFK Assassination circles, I felt that that the strongest evidence of all implicated President Lyndon B. Johnson, Kennedy’s own immediate successor and the most obvious beneficiary of the crime.

The continuing near-total silence surrounding the probable role of Mossad is hardly surprising given the momentous geopolitical consequences if such a belief in Israeli guilt became widespread among Americans. Recent months have demonstrated the staggering political and media power of the Israel Lobby and there would surely be very severe repercussions for anyone who leveled such incendiary charges against the Jewish State.

By contrast, LBJ has long since passed into history, dying more than fifty years ago in 1973, and nearly all of his committed partisans have also long since departed the scene, often decades ago. For most Americans today, Johnson is probably just a name in the history books, a political figure more like a McKinley or a Coolidge rather than someone who arouses any fierce present-day emotions. So the near-total unwillingness to consider the very strong evidence of his guilt in the death of his predecessor must be due to other factors.
