From the online book by the alias SALVATOR ASTUCIA

"LBJ was Secretly Jewish
Genealogical and historical evidence strongly suggests that the 36th US President and his wife were secretly Jewish. This is highly significant when one considers that President Johnson joined America and Israel at the hip, a policy that has now been in place for nearly 40 years, and a policy which most of the world does not understand or endorse.

"The following sections will hopefully shed new light on this taboo subject:

- Secret Ethnicity
- Nov. 1956: The Suez Crisis
- Feb. 1957: LBJ Rescued Israel from UN Sanctions
- The Six Day War
- Israel's Brutal Attack of the USS Liberty
- Arthur Goldberg, UN Point Man
- 1968: Lame Duck LBJ Attempted to Appoint a Jew as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court"

I'm sorry if discussing a potential conflict of interest makes you uncomfortable. But as the cited text states, if LBJ was in fact Jewish, that fact would be highly significant--for historical purposes --when one considers that President Johnson joined America and Israel at the hip. As an educated person, can you honestly say that doesn't matter?

This man would appear to be more than a little strange, if not actually "weird". I think his views are simply unacceptable. His website is full of stuff like this...

He is also connected with David Irving, although they had a falling out because Irving believed him to be too anti-semitic!

As you know, I am very uncomfortable about banning people from this forum because they hold views different to me. I would like to think that this problem is best dealt with by debating the issues.

However, Andy and myself have made it clear that the expression of racist views on the forum is unacceptable. I agree that the views expressed on Salvador Astucia’s website are unpleasant (and not very logical). But surely he should be judged on what he actually says on the forum rather than his website.

John,

So here on the Forum he says it is significant that LBJ was secretly Jewish?

Free debate is one thing but associating the Forum with nonsense and/or racism can, IMO, "cheapen" it (not quite the correct word but I think you get my point).

Shanet is quoting from his website. However, do you think I should ban him from the Forum because he claims that LBJ was secretly Jewish. It might be a ridiculous statement but is it really anti-Semitic? If I began banning people from the forum for making ridiculous statements we would see a sharp drop in membership. In fact, if I used this criteria I would have had to ban you for your theories about Castro being behind the assassination of JFK.

I agree with John. Members of the forum should be judged on what they post here.

The best way to deal with racists is after all to engage them in debate. So long as Salvador Astucia doesn't break our on our forum rules there is no reason to ban him.

Andy,
I have the highest respect for you and John, I appreciate your tolerance and sense of fairness in running this board.


The sanctions on WIM DANKABAAR and TIM CARROLL were less merited than the action I am requesting here....

At least we know they used their real names when they contributed here.

They weren't posting promos and links into books with "protocol of zion" themes...
I would rather work with WIM and TIM than this "ALIAS" interloper.

The notion that LBJ was secretly Jewish is not ridiculous. Some might say it is ridiculous because it doesn't matter, which is a reasonable but separate debate. The assertion itself is far from ridiculous. If someone's mother is Jewish, that makes him/her Jewish, under Jewish law. I have found no evidence that Johnson's mother was openly Jewish, but there are lots of indications that some of his ancestors and relatives were.

President Johnson was from Texas and many people don't think of Texas as a place where Jewish people live. Such generalities are typically incorrect, as they are regarding the state of Texas. It is important to remember that before 1821, Texas was still a Spanish colony where only Catholics could take up residence. Consequently, anyone who was Jewish had to be secretive about it, otherwise they would be forced to leave, or worse.

Several players in the Kennedy assassination were Jewish individuals who lived in Texas. Jack Ruby lived there. Abraham Zapruder lived there as well. In 1979, the House Select Committee on Assassinations linked Ruby to Jewish mobster, Meyer Lansky. One of Johnson's closest aides was Abe Fortas, also Jewish. So why is it ridiculous to think
Johnson himself might have been? In fact, one of the last things President Johnson attempted while in the White House was to appoint Fortas to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. In 1968, Johnson nominated Fortas to replace retiring Chief Justice Earl Warren. When the nomination came to the Senate floor, a filibuster ensued. On October 1, 1968, the Senate failed to vote because of the filibuster and Johnson then withdrew the nomination. With that, Fortas became the first nominee for that post since 1795 to fail to receive Senate approval. Had the nomination been approved, Fortas would have been the first Jewish Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in American history, no small matter to say the least.

The mere fact that Johnson tried to get his Jewish aide to head the Supreme Court does not alone prove that Johnson himself was secretly Jewish. But it raises questions about LBJ's true agenda.

In 1989, Louis Gomolak, Ph.D., wrote a dissertation for the University of Texas entitled, "Prologue: LBJ's Foreign - Affairs Background, 1908-1948." Gomolak (who is Jewish himself) provides lots of facts which support my assertion that LBJ probably had ancestors or relatives who were Jewish. At the time I first published Opium Lords, I had not read Gomolak's paper, but I intend to use it as a source document in the next edition. In the meantime, James M. Smallwood, Ph.D. (history professor, Oklahoma State University) has an excellent web page entitled, "OPERATION TEXAS: Lyndon B. Johnson's Attempt to Save Jews from the German Nazi Holocaust."

http://www.texancultures.utsa.edu/hiddenhi...mallwoodLBJ.htm

And of course Johnson did more than any other president to establish Israel as a major player in the world theater. LBJ was an open supporter of Israel during the Six Day War. As most people know, Israel stole land from neighboring Arab nations during the Six Day War, an act which was condemned by the United Nation within months after the
attack per UN Resolution 242. Ironically, Resolution 242 was ratified on the fourth anniversary of President Kennedy's death, November 22, 1967.

Back to my original point -- is it is completely sane and rational to consider the strong possibility that Johnson was secretly Jewish. Had he been *openly* Jewish, it would not be an issue. But being secretly Jewish --combined with is pro-Israel policies--introduces the strong possibility that LBJ was in effect a spy for Israel who became president
through rifle fire.

Reasonable people can disagree, but educated people should deal with evidence, rather than engage in name calling simply because the evidence does not fit their personal belief system.

Respectfully,

Salvador Astucia

Salvador Astucia (not his real name by the way-is this allowed?) is clearly anti-semitic. Read it in his own words:

Personally, I believe the standards for membership in this Forum should be be standards of scholarship and research, not free speech. However, I admit that I have not read all of his book and am considering order a copy.

Such an intellectual response.

The real reason you will not respond, Mr. Clark, is because I have presented truthful, verifiable evidence which, at a minimum, demonstrates the value of discussing LBJ's possible Jewish heritage.

Here's a suggestion, Mr. Clark. You should resign from this forum. I'm serious. You are causing nothing but trouble and you disagree with the forum's overall policy of free speech. In addition, your public whining is only increasing traffic to my website. As a result, you are hurting your apparent agenda of promoting and protecting Israel and Zionism.

Interesting comment, Mr. Buell. Not many people would openly admit they do not support free speech under any circumstance. Regarding scholarship and research, many of the messages on this thread are one or two line insults. Is that your idea of scholarship and research? Apparently if one is born a "blue blood," one can say anything he/she wants on this forum without fear of reprisal. Talk about racism. Pull-ee-yuz. :-)

Salvador Astucia has written a book, Opium Lords, which deals with the opium-rich Golden Triangle and how it was used to pay the men who killed President John F. Kennedy. Astucia has written a second book, Rethinking John Lennon's Assassination: The FBI's War on Rock Stars. To read either or purchase, click here:
