Episode 94: JFK - What do we think of Madeleine Duncan Brown?

I wanted to read Texas in the Morning to learn about the alleged house party at Clint Murchison's place on November 21st. If that's why you're checking this book out, you're gonna be disappointed because there is very little info about said party. Instead, you get a lot of sexposé XXX stories about LBJ and more questions than answers about how Madeleine always seemed to be in the right place at the right time and how she was allowed to rub shoulders with so many rich and powerful men. Kinda weird.

Sara Causey discusses Madeline Duncan Brown's book "Texas in the Morning," focusing on her claims about a house party at Clint Murchison's place and her relationship with Lyndon B. Johnson. Causey expresses skepticism about Brown's stories, which include explicit details and allegations of high-level political intrigue. She compares Brown to Judith Exner, questioning Brown's motives and credibility. Causey highlights Brown's acknowledgments, which include media figures, and her suspicious timing of revealing information. She concludes that Brown's book offers more pornographic details than substantive historical insights.

Welcome to con-sara-cy theories. Are you ready to ask questions you shouldn't and find information you're not supposed to know? Well, you're in the right place. Here is your host, Sara Causey.

Hello, hello, and thanks for tuning in. In tonight's episode, I am finally, finally going to tackle the question, what do we think of Madeline Duncan Brown, she wrote a book Texas in the morning, and she also appeared in the men who killed Kennedy docuseries, as well as Francis Richard Connolly's documentary, everything is a rich man's trick. And after seeing her in those documentaries, particularly the incendiary episode of the men who killed Kennedy that evidently caused such a backlash, the History Channel felt the need to record a rebuttal episode with all the old white, stodgy, wasp straight men who tell us what we're allowed to think about history. I wanted to know, in particular, what does she have to say in this book about the alleged house party at Clint murchison's place, I have always suspected that it's like a fish tale, where every time the old man tells the story, the fish goes from being a guppy to being a beluga whale, just gets bigger and bigger each time he tells The story. So I wanted to know in this book, what does she say about the house party at Clint murchison's place? Because much is made by certain conspiracy theorists about this alleged Party and its alleged guest list. Well, I'm going to be honest with you if you're checking out the book for that same reason, you're going to be disappointed. It is a lot of pornographic stories about her with Lyndon, which makes my skin crawl, and she does have other details in the book about these power players in Dallas at the time, but if you're checking it out specifically because you want to learn about this supposed house party and who all was there and what all was said, I have to tell you, you're probably going to be disappointed. Choose your frosty beverage of choice, and we will saddle up and take this ride, a rather gross ride. If you ask me, my experience here was similar to the experience I had with trying to track down Tim Fleming's book, the President's mortician, not in terms of content whatsoever, but just the process of having to find this book. When books go out of print and they have anything at all to do with the murder of JFK, it seems like vultures will find a copy of the book and decide to list it for sale for 234, $500 and it's like, look, I don't have that kind of money to spend on one book, and if I had paid that kind of money for mostly pornography about somebody who I find really grotesque, I would have been awfully mad. I really would have been. Plus, I felt a little awkward going in to request this through the library loan, because it's smutty and I am not a big fan of sex poses, especially celebrity sex poses. Somebody keeps them going, somebody keeps them in business. But to me, it's like, if you want to read something nasty, once you just go to the bookstore and get erotic fiction or something like Harlequin silhouette. At one of the used bookstores that I go to, they actually have their entire section of romance novels broken down by theme or fetish, if you will, cowboys, pirates, royalty, vampires. And every time I pass by, it I just laugh because it just I find it funny. They say there's somebody out there for everyone. There's some genre, there's some scenario out there for everyone. So it's like, why not just get erotic fiction that is very overt and clear, that it's about fiction, instead of getting erotic fiction that's about somebody famous, but it's purporting to be fact. I just personally don't like that, and I think it's dirty pool. If you listen to the episode that I recorded about the Amityville origin story, then you'll remember Christopher talking about how he felt that George was. Totally willing to add embellishments and at times, flat out lie. He couldn't just let the story be what it was, according to Christopher. He had to keep going and going and going with it to, like milk every penny out of the story that he could possibly get. And that's how I feel about celebrity sex poses. You don't have to look very far to find that there's a money trail involved. The copy that I was able to get through the library was published in 1997 so it would have predated the men who killed Kennedy Docu Series Episode The guilty men, which aired in the US on November 17, 2003 the acknowledgements section, which would be something easy to gloss over, it caught my attention straight away. Now she thanks her family. She also Thanks Ed Tatro, who she calls one of the finest JFK Pop Pop researchers in the country. She talks about one of tatros associates who helped with editing and proofreading. She thanks her attorney. All of this seems to be pretty normal, but then we get down toward the bottom, and she says, I also wish to thank normal Langley of Star Magazine, Hal Wingo Kent demeray of People magazine, Lillian Smith and Phil Donahue, Laurie Weiss of Kelly and company and Gertrude Houston of pm magazine, Walt Brown and Anthony summers end quote and immediately I start having these alarm bells. I thought back to James di eugenio's brilliant article, the posthumous pop pop of John F Kennedy, and how he goes through point by point and discusses these various smear campaigns that have been launched to coincide with an anniversary of JFK is murder, and it's as if to say we want to remind you that JFK was connected to the mafia. He cheated on his wife constantly, and all she did was sit at home by the phone and sterilize baby bottles and knit sweaters and cry because he was out with every trollop he could possibly get his hands on. He was a drug head. He was a drug pusher. He laid up and tried to think of ways to murder Castro all the time. He was boffing an intern in Jackie's bedroom. He wasn't very smart. He didn't have any deep ideologies. He was willing to sell the country out to Khrushchev or Castro just to avoid getting nuked, etc, etc. We're going to remind you of all of these things, because we want to make sure that on the anniversary of his murder, you don't believe that you lost anything significant. He was just a moron. He was a creep. He was a sex pervert. He was out plotting murders himself. So when he got murdered, I mean, hey, live by the sword. Die by the sword, kind of not a big deal. And I think that D Eugenio does an excellent job of pointing out ulterior motives. So on this acknowledgements page where she's openly thanking people in the media as well as people in what I would consider to be tabloid magazines. It raises a lot of alarm bells for me. Maybe I'm just being too cynical, but upon seeing that acknowledgements page right at the front, and then going through and reading the book, I admittedly, I glossed over the sex scenes because I don't want to go there. I don't want to think about LBJ without any clothes on. I don't want to think about him with clothes on, let alone without clothes on. I know I probably sound like dudes who say they subscribe to Playboy just to read the articles, and they would never look at a half naked lady. In my case, I do really do not want to think about him in any type of sexual way that gives me a stomach ache, and it is quite repulsive to me. But I get through the book, I think about the acknowledgments page, and I get through the book. And here's my impression.

I might normally try to leave this toward the end, but I think this time I'm just going to put it on Front Street. I repeatedly had the vibe of a Judith Exner. And if you go and read James di eugenio's essay, which I hope you will. I'll drop a link to it. If you have not checked it out before, please do so. I've blogged about it extensively over on the con-sara-cy theories blog, because he does such a great job of asking the questions that these tabloid journalists will not ask. Why are you only coming forward now? Are you being paid? What's your motivation? Why are you doing it right before an anniversary of the man's murder? Why haven't you spoken before? Nobody wants to question these gals. They just come up and oh, 70 years ago, we knocked boots. Really? Were you ever even in the same room with them? Is there any proof of this? Well, I can't prove it, but you can't prove I didn't. I came away with the vibe, and it's just my opinion, and it could be wrong, totally my opinion, not saying it's a fact. It is my opinion, and that's it, that I came away with the vibe that to me Madeleine Duncan brown seems like the Judith Campbell Exner of the LBJ world. If you go and you read that essay by diugenio, he talks about Exner admitting the government wants me to talk again. And to me, that's like the proverbial moment in a movie where the needle skips across the record and everybody on the dance floor stops and looks what the government wants you to talk again. Why would the government want you to talk about having sex with? JFK, why? Why would the government care if he was having sex 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with any gal that he could lay his hands on, who said, Yes. I mean, why would the government care if you talked about his PP and you're the JJ, why? Why would they care? There's some sus stuff going on with her, in my opinion. And I really think that James di Eugenio does a great job of pointing it out. So in reading this, I just I kept thinking, I even though I don't like LBJ, and I'm not going to be typically, the kind of person that would stand up for him. I'm just suspicious. I just think it's a little bit weird that I get this vibe that she's the Judith Campbell Exner of the LBJ world. I could be wrong. Also, at the front of the book, there's a preface that's been written by Harrison Edward Livingstone, who has written several books himself about the murder of JFK. And in this preface, he writes, it was at that party on November 21 1963 that the men were drawn aside to a private meeting and given the outline of the pop pop of President Kennedy. The following day, when LBJ emerged, anxious and red faced, he told Madeleine Brown, after tomorrow, those goddamn Kennedy's will never embarrass me again. That's no threat. That's a promise. Kennedy's murder helped them all and changed world history. Lyndon Johnson would have been forced to resign the following month because of the terrible scandal swirling around him from Billy Sol Estes to Bobby Baker. The oil men would have lost their vast investment in new war industries in Dallas slash Fort Worth because Kennedy was about to end the war they needed in Vietnam. End quote. So even in this preface written by a completely different author, we start to get this idea of, okay, we're going to get the juicy gossip. We're going to get her side of the story about who was there and what happened at this house party. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but no, I mean, we'll get there before I end this episode. But it was like, that's all since she calls out Ed Tatro in the acknowledgments, I was really surprised that he wasn't the one who wrote the preface. I was like, why is it a completely different author? Maybe that's to lend credibility to the story, as if to say more than one person in the JFK Pop Pop research community has vetted this woman and believes her story. You may remember that on that episode of the men who killed Kennedy Docu series, Ed Tatro also appears. In fact, I think he's interviewed right before they switch over to Madeline Duncan Brown, so she claims to be like an account executive slash media buyer for Glenn advertising, and she says that her boss, Mr. Ward Wilcox, had a reputation in Texas advertising circles as the best man in marketing.

So this seems to be the main vehicle by which she's able to rub shoulders with a lot of power brokers, or supposedly, rub shoulders with a lot of power brokers in Dallas. Of that time, she had gotten married to a man that she said returned from the war, never the same. He was diagnosed with chronic paranoid schizophrenia. He becomes a heavy drinker. He becomes abusive. She has a young son named Jimmy, but things get to the point where she really can't be part of that marriage anymore. It's not safe. She gets invited to a party at the ballroom of Dallas's Adolphus hotel. I believe this is 1948 and at this party, that's where, allegedly, she meets LBJ for the first time. And it's like. The sparks fly, and the two of them are instantaneously attracted to each other. Some of the people that she names as being at that party at the Adolphus hotel that night, Sid Richardson, who she says was her uncle, Johnny Bowen's business associate, Charles Marsh, Alice glass and Jesse Kellum, a Texas Real Estate oil millionaire and a good friend to J Edgar Hoover. Other guests included John Connally, HL hunt and Clint Murchison. Now this is just my opinion. It's just my interpretation, and it could be wrong. I have to wonder, how did she really and truly get entry into this world of billionaires and millionaires and important movers and shakers. We're told that it's because she was an account executive and she was working for a guy that was considered to be the best of the best. I don't know that. I completely believe that just my opinion, and it could be wrong to me. It's not passing the sniff test. I'm like, is she there as part of a honey trap? Is she there because she's intelligence of some kind is there something we don't actually know about her origins? What's actually going on here? I've worked with plenty of sales people over the course of my career, and it wasn't like working in sales or marketing or media buying was an automatic entry into rubbing shoulders with millionaires and oil barons, etc. Now I will tell you a story, if you'll allow me a slight diversion. There was a woman who went to work at a company where I had worked, but we never knew each other. She started after I had already been gone for probably a year or more, but I kept in touch with some of the people who still worked there, and they started telling me these crazy stories about this lady and how she lived in a very expensive house in a very expensive gated community, ritzy part of town. She drove a luxury car. She always had a flawless appearance. She wore designer clothes, she had nice jewelry. Always had her hair to sew, her makeup, her nails, all of it. But she wasn't a particularly gifted sales person. She was always middle of the road. She wouldn't be bottom of the barrel during the monthly sales meeting, but she definitely wasn't at the top either. And they would think we know about how much money that somebody makes when they're middle of the road around here. How is she affording the things that she does? Somehow they found out, supposedly, again, I wasn't there. I'm giving you like, second and third hand information. Supposedly, they found out that she was a high priced Hooker and that the sales job during the day was basically a front or a way to launder her money, because she was getting paid, really, actually paid through the sex work that she was doing at night and on the weekends. Also, supposedly, she was rubbing shoulders with some very important people in the oil and gas world. Mean, the part of the Midwest where I am that's been a huge industry for a long time. So she's allegedly involved in sex, drugs and rock and roll with these well to do affluent oil and gas guys, some doctors, some lawyers. I can't tell you that. It's impossible that Madeleine Duncan Brown, just somehow Forrest gumps her way into being at the right place, at the right time to rub shoulders with all these guys. All I'm saying is that to me, I feel like there are some missing puzzle pieces to this story. Very quickly into the book, she is at another party to rendezvous with Linden, and supposedly J Edgar Hoover and his associate, oink Clyde Tolson, is there, and she's asking questions about them, and then Lyndon tells her that he's got to go talk to Abe Fortas. She writes that Abe Fortas was one of lyndon's most trusted advisors, whom he later appointed to the Supreme Court after getting LBJ off the hook in the box 13 scandal. I could be wrong. I could be misremembering this, but I feel like there was an interview I saw with her where she made a comment to the effect of LBJ and her had this wild sexual chemistry, and mostly what they did was fuck that they really did not spend a lot of time talking. They spent a lot of time doing the bump bump. But yet, all through this book, he seems to sing like a canary with all manner of confidential information. Question I just again, I'm finding that weird. Also like what we hear in the Judith Campbell Exeter story, where supposedly she was going to get the mob to rig the 1960 election for Jack, and he's so happy offers to buy a mink coat. We hear the same kind of thing from Madeline Duncan brown that Lyndon is so smitten with her that he buys her a mink coat. I guess this must have been a very popular fantasy among women of that generation. She even has LBJ saying, I do love you, Madeleine. Let's be together like this, forever with you at my side, I can do anything, no matter what happens, I'll love you forever. One thing I will say to her credit, unlike some of the gals who have shown up at convenient and suspicious times to smear JFK, oh, I didn't even know what sex was. I didn't know that boys have a PP and girls have a vv, and when you put them together at sex, I thought that babies came from the stork. I didn't know what Jack was doing when he unzipped his pants. And you're like, come on, really. You're a grown ass adult woman, and you didn't know. Maybe you didn't know because it's fake, and you were making the whole thing up. Anyway. I digress, to Madeline's credit. She's very clear. I wanted this. I knew what I was doing. I knew what was going to happen when we went to these hotel rooms together, and I wanted it. We got into some weird, kinky shit, and we loved every second of it, whether these things actually happened or they're all figments of her imagination, you'll have to be the judge on that, but she is very clear. I wanted this. We were two consenting adults, and we were having a lot of fun. Chapter Seven is titled the love child, because Madeline suddenly starts feeling dizzy and nauseous, and the next thing you know, she has discovered that she is pregnant, and the baby belongs to LBJ. She tells Lyndon that she's pregnant and the baby is his. And initially He's very upset and says some terrible things to her, but he calms down, and then he says that, allegedly, he says that he will arrange it so that the lawyer Jerome Ragsdale takes the fall for her pregnancy, and he'll also make sure that she has everything that she needs, and that the baby has everything that the baby needs she has the baby LBJ is really not involved in the child's life at all, yet somehow Madeleine continues to be in these situations where it's like the right place at the right time, rubbing shoulders with these guys, for example, chapter 10, shattered dreams. She says, As I walk through the elegant lobby of the Lamar hotel, I noticed H L hunt and Clint Murchison playing gin rummy while the hotel's owner Jesse Jones and Judge Roy Hoff Heinz sat on a nearby couch smoking cigars.

She seems to be, as I said, always in the right place at the right time to come across these high rollers in chapter 13, which is titled small world, or setup, she talks about meeting Jack Ruby, Mr. Ragsdale was dressed in his usual tailored western suit, Justin boots and a pearl Stetson that would have been worth a month's pay for me. Madeleine Brown, this is Jack Ruby, he said, introducing me to the other man who politely shook my hand. He owns the carousel Club, which is where we're heading now to have a couple of drinks. Would you care to join us? I appreciate the offer, but I really need to get back to the office. I would love to take a rain check, though. Mr. Ruby smiled and said, Miss Brown, you've got class. Please come by the club anytime at your convenience. Just knock on the door. The club is open to the public after 7:30pm as my honored guest, your drinks will be on the House over the course of the next few years, I often saw these two men walking together on commerce street or in the king and university clubs. Occasionally, I spotted them huddled with H L hunt, H L and Mr. Ragsdale both officed in the Mercantile Bank building, where they seemed to be involved in intense negotiations with oversized briefcases constantly at their sides. 10 years later, Mr. Ruby, a 52 year old underworld figure and owner of the carousel club, would murder ex marine Lee Harvey Oswald on live television. The event, as the world knows, took place in the basement of the Dallas city jail under the watchful eyes of Dallas police just two days after Oswald had allegedly Pop Pop President John F Kennedy Ruby was well known in the police department, so now she's not only rubbing shoulders with these wealthy oil tycoons and millionaires, but Jack Ruby has come into her orbit. She additionally writes no one has ever proven in a court of law or anywhere else, for that matter, that there was any kind of direct link between. Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby and the ultra conservative oil billionaire H L Hunt, who were seen together. But the questions remain and the doubts will always be there. I personally saw Lee Harvey Oswald or his look alike at the carousel club. John Currington, H L Hunt's assistant has admitted to me that he saw Ruby Oswald, George de Morin shield and H L hunt together on various occasions. End quote, I know I sound like a broken record here, but she really seems to be in the right place at the right time on these events. In Chapter 21 titled The vice president, she writes, Lyndon believed that the Catholic issue would hurt Kennedy, preventing his nomination, then the public would turn to Linden. That would bring about a free for all at the convention, he thought between Senator Stuart Symington and Hubert Humphrey, and Linden would emerge as the nominee of the Democrats. He knew he had the support of Clint Murchison and Senator Nolan from California. Also in his corner was h l hunt and his top assistant, John Currington, who were in constant contact with Joseph Kennedy. I received an anonymous phone call telling me that Kennedy had the nomination cinched before the completion of the first roll call because of the well laid plans by Joseph Kennedy John's father and the invisible government from the start of the 1960 campaign, many were convinced that Cuba alone would be the deciding issue in the election, and in retrospect, it was one of the decisive factors in what proved to be the closest presidential election of modern times. Certainly, cloak and dagger tactics by the Charlie India Alpha played a dominant part on both sides against Nixon and Kennedy alike. End quote. All right, so in her telling she gets an anonymous phone call saying that Kennedy had the nomination. Why would somebody that's an account executive at an advertising company get an anonymous phone call about Kennedy getting the nomination before it had officially happened, and then why is she peddling this story that Joseph Kennedy is in cahoots with HL hunt and John Currington, who are supposedly also in cahoots with Johnson. I'm just log pausing there so you can consider that for yourself. She tells a disturbing story about this woman who's been like housekeeper slash surrogate mother to her children, and the woman sees LBJ and acknowledges his existence, and he flies off the handle and says she's got to go. The fewer people that know we're having this affair, the better. So you have to get rid of her. Madeline says, No, she's not going to do that, but the woman disappears. She calls hospitals, she notifies the police, but it's like the woman just vanishes into thin air and is never seen or heard from again. In Chapter 23 titled paper marriage, she writes one weekend at the Driscoll in 1961 Linden somberly met me at the door, and after a passionate embrace, we sat together on the sofa. Madeleine, I've got a fucking big problem, he said, slowly, taking my hand in his, and you're the only one that can solve it. What's the problem? Linden, it's not what. It's Who, then, who is the problem? It's that queer bastard Hoover. Kennedy thinks of Hoover as a relic who has survived beyond his time, and he has he plans on making Hoover leave the fox trot Bravo India, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age on New Year's Day, 1965 I just can't have this happen. I rely on Hoover a lot. He is my contact with the oil guys. Old Clint owns Hoover, you know. So what's the problem? Hoover knows I'm fucking around and it is causing heat in Washington, especially with bird. He knows about you and Steven, and he's calling in as marker if I don't get Kennedy to waive his mandatory retirement, Hoover's threatening to go public about our relationship. I'd rather have Hoover inside the tent pissing out than outside pissing in. So I need your help. Madeline, what can I do? Linden, I've talked it over with Jesse in Ragsdale, and we think you should get married so it would take some of the heat off me. People, especially my bird, don't suspect married women. I started laughing, married? Are you kidding me? Who would I marry? I haven't been seeing anyone, but you, Jesse says you've been shooting skeet and playing golf with a friend of mine by the name of West. He would be a likely candidate. You people know everything that I do, besides, he's just a friend. We're not lovers or anything. I know that Madeline, it would strictly be a marriage for appearances sake. He'll live in his house, and you'll live in yours. There will be no Hanky Panky, and we can continue to discreetly see each other. So it's like, why you're sitting there reading this, going, why is he telling her this sensitive information? If he's so paranoid about people knowing things they shouldn't, the less said, the better. Why is he telling her this supposed story about drama between Kennedy and Hoover? And then we learn I get. Guess that he's telling her because he wants for her to get married so that they can continue to screw but people won't think that they're messing around, because she's married, which really makes no sense, because married people cheat all the time. Additionally, she writes. RFK was determined to put Lyndon behind bars. He also questioned Billy Saul about J Edgar Hoover's association with Clint Murchison. Jesse informed me that Linden believed his image had been damaged through guilt by association. The Kennedys were exploiting all publicity surrounding Billy Saul's indictments to try to hang Linden. Perhaps they would have succeeded, but the pop pop of President Kennedy hushed most of the political arena now still alive and hearty, Billy Saul is home with his loving family in West Texas, slowly healing from the scars that prison has seared into his soul. Sometimes Country and Western Star Willie Nelson drops by to lift his spirits. I am sure Billy Saul still holds political secrets and historical facts that could expose the murky inner workings of our government by the high rollers in political office, the IRS, which claimed Billy Saul owed over $52 million in back taxes, finally dropped its charges one day, perhaps he will end the chain of silence and speak out fully when the fear of reprisal no longer exists. In quote, she tells the story of Jack Ruby producing a map of JFK is motorcade route, and he had been seen talking to Lee Harvey Oswald or a double we don't know beforehand. We're also told that Jack Ruby said that Kennedy had been warned not to come to Dallas, but was going to do it anyway. Now we're getting closer to the house party, the infamous house party. She writes, When Air Force One arrived in Houston on November 21 Kennedy was greeted by the Houston Post. Headline, JFK, visit accents, division in the party, Yarborough refused to ride with Lyndon because the dignity of the US Senate was at stake over radio and TV waves, Yarborough declared that he wouldn't have traveled in the same car with Linden, even if it cost him the election. He resented Linden as much as Linden despised him. The following day, a story appeared in the Houston Chronicle under the headline, Yarborough choosy about his partners. Skip's ride with LBJ, according to yarborough's Peak was his exclusion, exclusion from the invitation list for a reception honoring Kennedy at the governor's mansion. In addition, Yarborough was originally told that he would march into the auditorium for the Austin fundraiser with state legislators, rather than with Kennedy Lyndon and Big John Connally, which would further drive a wedge into the Democratic Party.

Okay, I'm gonna skip ahead just a little bit. On Thursday night, November 21 1963 the last evening prior to camelot's demise, I attended a social at Clint murchison's home. It was my understanding that the event was scheduled as a tribute, honoring his longtime friend, J Edgar Hoover, whom Murchison and had first met whom, whom? Murchison had first met decades earlier through President William Howard Taft and Hoover's companion and assistant, Clyde Tolson. The impressive guest list included John McCloy, Richard Nixon, George Brown, R L Thornton, H L, hunt and a host of others from the 8f group. She refers to these guys. Is the AF group that have a lot of pull. It refers to some kind of suite or some kind of box somewhere. The 8f the jovial party, was just breaking up when Linden made an unscheduled visit. I was most surprised by his appearance since Jesse had not mentioned anything about linden's Coming to Clints. With linden's hectic schedule, I never dreamed he could be able to attend the big party. After all, he had arrived in Dallas on Tuesday to attend the Pepsi Cola convention. Tension filled the room upon his arrival, the group immediately went behind closed doors. A short time later, Linden, anxious and red faced, reappeared. I knew how secretively Linden operated, therefore I said nothing, not even that. I was happy to see him squeezing my hand so hard it felt crushed from the pressure. He spoke with a grating whisper, a quiet growl into my ear, not a love message, but one I'll always remember after tomorrow, those goddamn Kennedys will never embarrass me again. That's no threat. That's a promise. I visibly trembled. He said nothing else, but was often a flash to join a party at Pat kirkwood's cellar door, an after hours nightclub in Fort Worth It was at the same club that night where many of President Kennedy's secret service details stayed as late as 4am no wonder they were so slow to react a few hours later when shots rang out in Dealey Plaza, and that's all you hear about this infamous house party at Clint murchison's place. I was like, I expected a hell of a lot more details than that. So much has been made of this house party. I'm thinking in particular, of Francis Richard Connolly's everything is a rich man's trick. You should hear all the people that he writes. Battles off that were supposedly at this party. It's like anybody who was anybody was somehow all at Clint murchison's house the night before Kennedy gets murdered. They also make a big deal out of it. In the men who killed Kennedy Docu series, they even interview a woman who was like a maid or a cook at somebody else's house, talking about all these people that were supposedly there, and how after Kennedy died, it was champagne and caviar every day, and they were all happy that he was gone. She also tells the story that the next morning she wakes up and she gets A Surprise Phone Call from LBJ, and he says that son of a bitch, crazy Yarborough and that goddamn fucking Irish mafia bastard Kennedy will never embarrass me again. She manages to say, I'm looking forward to tonight. And he blasts out even louder. I've got about a minute to get to the parking lot to hear that bastard. And then he slams the phone down. So this comports with the story that she tells in the men who killed Kennedy, where she claims that the next morning, he calls her and reiterates that he's still well, whatever's going to happen, Kennedy's not going to embarrass him again. Several years later, she and Lyndon have their last meeting, and evidently it's not a sexual meeting. They're just sitting and talking. She had been in a car accident and had had to have some reconstructive surgery done on her face. He had also had heart problems. So they don't actually, mercifully for us as readers, they don't do anything sexual there. They just talk. And he appears to have some regret that he was never involved with this boy who is said to have been his son. They reiterate that they're madly in love, but yet they both know it's going to be the last time that they see each other. It's like, well, why if you're madly in love with somebody like that, why are you? Why are you just abandoning the other person? There's so many things here that I don't even pretend to get so Stephen files a lawsuit against Lady Bird after lbjs death, saying that Lady Bird, Jesse Kellam and Jerome Ragsdale conspired to deny him his birthright and his fair share of an inheritance from LBJ she writes, our popularity soared as the Associated Press and United Press wire services spread the word around the world about us. We were invited to appear on the Phil Donahue, Sally, Jesse, Raphael and Geraldo Rivera shows to explain the details of our private lives. We traveled from coast to coast, where we found audiences on local talk shows invariably treated us with warmth and understanding. Our mailbox was filled with good luck notes and other tributes of affection from people around the world. Wait for it. We both enjoyed the celebrity status. The elevation of our new lives filled us with delight. People now greeted Steven with comments like, you look just like your famous father, and Steven would always graciously thank them. This for me, I must say it again. It reminds me of Exner saying the government wants me to talk again. We both enjoyed the celebrity status. The elevation of our new lives filled us with delight. Steven gets sick and passes away, and if you read her Wikipedia page, you'll discover that it was never established. His paternity was never established one way or the other. So the accusation is out there that he was LBJ son, but allegedly, it's never proven one way or the other, she passes away, and at the very end of the book, she writes, My heart still aches for Steven and Linden. Their absence creates a great void in my life. I pray that lyndon's torment has been replaced with peace. Hopefully someday I will join Steven and Lyndon the eternal loves of my life. Then tomorrow will become today. End quote, If you enjoy celebrity sex boze books, or you have some kind of weird kink about LBJ, I'll pray for you, but this is, this is the book for you. If you're looking for answers about the murder of JFK, I'm doubtful that you're going to find them in this book. Definitely, if you are thinking you're going to get some juicy, interesting information specifically about the Clint Murchison house party, you're not what I've told you. That's what's in there. I can save you 300 bucks. You won't find anything that she leaves out of the men who killed Kennedy Docu series interview. You're not going to find something outstanding about the Clint Murchison house party. I honestly am left with more questions than answers about her. Her, like, who was she really? Why was she in the orbit of all of these important people? Was she crazy and she's making all of it up? Was she really there with these people? If so, why? How did she really gain access to these individuals? I personally am skeptical that it only came from her being a sales lady slash media buyer at an advertising firm, I feel like there's a lot more to this story.

Maybe I'm too cynical. I don't know. It's like how people poke fun at conspiracy theorists and say, Well, you guys see the fingerprints of intelligence agencies everywhere. You think everything is the Charlie India alpha. And it's like, isn't it? Isn't it? Go watch that BBC documentary about Operation Gladio. That's so horrifying. I did three different podcast episodes about that Docu series because there's three episodes and they're horrifying. Go watch that, and then come back to me and say, you don't see the fingerprints of intelligence everywhere. I I wonder, really, who? Who was this person? Maybe she is cuckoo, and she made all of this up, and it's just a hoax. I don't know. You'll have to decide that for yourself, as for me, I really left this experience wondering, who was this lady, not the cover story. In my opinion, that's what it is, a cover story that she was an account executive for an advertising firm, and golly gosh, she was pretty and so she got to go to all of these events and rub shoulders with these important, high, muckety mucks of Dallas. I just don't quite see that. I think there's more than what we're being told here, stay a little bit crazy, and I will see you in the next episode.
