One of the most significant phone calls in the history of the United States, and it has less than one thousand views.

Unbelievable isn't it? This is a member of the Warren Commission saying that full out that he did not agree with its narrative...However! In the spirit of being a good ole boy he agreed to go along with it. Then the next part of the conversation is even more unbelievable! The entire Vietnam war was on the line and the public was sold a bunch of shit about one of our ships being attacked when they knew dammed well it wasn't.

Also shows how crass LBJ was. In RFK’s words, he was a “monster.”
