THE grandson of Texas cotton king Billie Sol Estes has just released the tapes his grandfather used as insurance against the business/political mafia of Lyndon Baines Johnson (aka LBJ). The tapes prove Johnson colluded with the deep state in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Shane Stevens appeared on Alex Jones’ show this week explaining how his grandfather became entangled with the LBJ political machine, which carried out a series of killings against people who knew too much.
President-elect Trump is expected to declassify all documents around the JFK assassination, which will reverberate through America’s establishment. The tapes will confirm the truth of Johnson’s role and those of other players.
Stevens grandfather lived a reasonably long life until 2012-13, because he had kept the tapes in his possession. Estes was a multi-millionaire who dominated the cotton growing business, often employing shady land deals with farmers so he could sidestep federal anti-trust laws.
The tape is a conversation in 1971 between Estes and Clifton C. Carter, LBJ’s right hand man. The two whimsically recall their times with LBJ and Carter mentions he had quote “unpleasant words with LBJ over the deal to hire Mac Wallace to assassinate the president … Lyndon should never have issued that order to Mac”.
The “LBJ-style” was revealed earlier in the story of Estes, LBJ and Carter meeting on 17th January, 1961, to discuss what to do about Henry Marshall, who was investigating Estes on behalf of the federal agriculture authorities. Marshall refused attempts to be blackmailed by Johnson with a promotion to Washington. At the meeting Johnson said: “It looks like we’ll just have to get rid of him.” Wallace, who Estes described as a hitman, was given the assignment.
Marshall was later found dead on his ranch after being shot in the back with his own rifle. The sheriff reported it as suicide. Estes says on the tape that 17 people had been murdered on Johnson’s orders.
After the JFK assassination, which involved several shooters at ground level around Daley Plaza, LBJ asked the FBI to investigate Estes, who was eventually prosecuted and jailed on multiple fraud charges, which ruined his and his family’s reputation and destroyed their business empire. Este’s assets of $200 million were sold for $7 million.
“I’m trying to restore honour to the family name by living a good life …. we lived with this when my grandad came out of jail,” Stevens told Jones. He hoped the release of the tapes would help heal America of the Kennedy killing.
“I hope this is a healing point for our nation …. to put it in perspective its two of LBJ’s most trusted confidants speaking,” he said.
Stevens said he didn’t understand the gravity of the tapes until he and his sister took them to a company to get them transcribed. Company representatives were alarmed by what they heard and tried to tell Stevens it was just conspiracy material.
Stevens attempted to warn Trump about the situation in 2016 and eventually got the tapes to him. “Our modern day concern is if I’m right, we are going to be attacked by the same people,” he said. “I made sure Trump got the tape I tried to warn him back in 2016.”
Stevens’ said the first time he ever heard his grandad’s story was through Roger Stone’s book The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ.
“The biggest implication of this is, if they got away with this in the 1960s, if they killed the president, covered it up across multiple agencies, then where are those people, how did they do it – they’re ultimately still there in some way, shape or form in some capacity,” Stevens told Jones.
“And so at this point all I’ve done is share this tape with a few people – in fact a lot of the people who are fighting hardest for our country have heard this tape – they listened to it shared the background history with them. To my knowledge President Trump has heard, Don Junior has heard it ….”
Stevens also explained it was not a happy relationship between LBJ and the Kennedys who didn’t want LBJ as Vice President. “The Kennedy’s emasculated him in office. They shut him down. But big Texas money didn’t want him shut down.”
He said there was “this crazy dynamic working against JFK” and a big power struggle going on involving the big Texas companies like Brown and Root, and Haliburton with much associated fraud and corruption.
“LBJ would call Billie at 1am to go out get some money, and Billie would wake up the banker, get the money then hop in a plane with the money and go up there.”
Johnson was the consumate power broker with dirt files on many politicians and officials such as J Edgar Hoover, who was caught cross dressing.
Cliff C Carter died in 1971, reportedly two to three days after the recording was made. It was supposedly recorded in a small house near Abelene. “These were “insurance” tapes. Ultimately if he was going to get killed, he would release them,” said Stevens.
