Roger Stone: LBJ and Nixon Knew Lee Harvey Oswald Killer Jack Ruby

The Roger Stone book, The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ, looks as though it is going to be a real blockbuster. The book will be out November 6.

The latest leak from the book has Stone, who worked in the Nixon administration and is known as a dirty trickster political operative, reporting that Jack Ruby, the shooter who killed Lee Harvey Oswald, was a long time acquaintance of both Johnson and Nixon. Stone reports that they had a  relationship with Ruby going back at least 16 years before Kennedy’s killing.

According to the new book, when Ruby moved from Chicago to Dallas in 1947, he was soon hired by Nixon, then serving along with Johnson in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Stone told the UK Daily Mail he has newly released documents showing that “Nixon knew Jack Ruby, hired him on the House payroll in 1947 at the request of…Lyndon Johnson.”

Stone also accuses Johnson and Texas Gov. John Connally, who was wounded in the assassination, of setting up the motorcade route. “LBJ and Gov. Connally micromanaged JFK’s Dallas schedule and demanded the route through Dealy Plaza where the motorcade came to a full stop and LBJ had JFK killed,” Stone said.

Stone blames Johnson’s insatiable greed and thirst for power as the reason he had JFK killed.

  1. As the 50th anniversary quickly approaches, publicity about Stone's book is ubiquitous. I even see it mentioned on Father's Day gift lists. The Enquirer did a big story on it yesterday indicating that it would "change history." Stone certainly had a great perch from which to observe the "tricky" doings of the post JFK/LBJ Whitehouse and despite the hype I believe that the book will actually introduce some facts heretoforth hidden from the public. Thus, I will "bite the bullet" and pre-order one from B&N.
