Lamar Hunt and JFK assassination

Excape Goat · Feb 5, 2005

Did anyone know that Lamar Hunt was associated with the JFK assassination? his father was a big critic of JFK. Right after the assassination, the Dallas police told the Hunt family to leave town because they were the prime suspects. before they departed, Jack Ruby visited Lamar Hunt. any more?

I'm extremely disappointed that this thread wasn't started by Thomas Flannigan.

Lamar was just Marilyn Monroe's patsy.

A league owner with ties to the mob?? If that doesn't say "big time league" I don't know what does. Now all we need is a match fixing scandal and MLS is set.

i'm no criminologist, but this doesn't exactly look like cracker-jack police work.

I am not making this up. I am saying he is connected. Nevertheless, he was one of the names surfaced.

From one of JFK assassination site.

On Thursday November 21st, Jack Ruby drove Connie Trammel, who was "job hunting in Dallas" to the office of Hunt's son, Lamar Hunt.

I was wrong Jack Ruby went to visit Lamar Hunt's office the day before assassination. However, he did not see Hunt. On the same day, a fellow named Jim Braden saw Lamar Hunt. Braden was a mobster who hanged around Dal-Tex Building on the day of the assassination.

This is a bio of Lamar's father.

Hunt developed extreme conservative political opinions. In 1951 he launched the Douglas MacArthur for President campaign. Along with two of his sons, Nelson Bunker Hunt and Lamar Hunt, he set-up a right-wing intelligence network, the International Committee for the Defence of Christian Culture.

Hunt also funded two right-wing radio shows, Facts Forum and Life Line. He used these radio stations to support the anti-communist campaign of Joseph McCarthy. He also helped to finance the political career of Lyndon B. Johnson. A member of the John Birch Society, Hunt was a close friend of Edwin Walker.

A strong opponent of Fidel Castro, Hunt helped to fund the Cuban Revolutionary Council, a group that worked with the Mafia and the Central Intelligence Agency in an effort to remove Castro from power.

President John F. Kennedy became concerned about people like Hunt who used tax exemptions to spread right-wing propaganda. According to Joachim Joesten Hunt had an annual income of $30,000,000 but paid little in income tax. In 1963 Kennedy talked about plans to submit to Congress a tax reform plan designed to produce about $185,000,000 in additional revenues by changes in the favourable tax treatment until then accorded the gas-oil industry.

Some conspiracy theorists believe that Hunt was involved in the death of President John F. Kennedy. It was claimed that the day before the assassination, Jim Brading visited Hunt in his office in Dallas. Brading had links to Carlos Marcello, another figure suspected of being involved in the killing. Brading was arrested in the Dal-Tex building in the Dealey Plaza soon after the assassination took place, but was released soon afterwards.

Madeleine Brown later gave an interview on the television show, A Current Affair where she claimed that on the 21st November, 1963, she was at the home of Clint Murchison. Others at the meeting included Hunt, J. Edgar Hoover, Clyde Tolson, John J. McCloy and Richard Nixon. At the end of the evening Lyndon B. Johnson arrived. Brown said in this interview: "Tension filled the room upon his arrival. The group immediately went behind closed doors. A short time later Lyndon, anxious and red-faced, reappeared. I knew how secretly Lyndon 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."

Brown's account was supported by former CIA agent Robert D. Morrow who wrote in the book, First Hand Knowledge: How I participated in the CIA-Murder of President Kennedy, "On the eve of the assassination, Hoover and Nixon attended a meeting together at the Dallas home of oil baron Clint Murchison. Among the subjects discussed at this meeting were the political futures of Hoover and Nixon in the event President Kennedy was assassinated."

I do not that they really suspected the Hunts. The Hunts were publishing anti-JFK materials in Dallas around the time of the assassination. So the police wanted them out of town to be safe.

And your reasons for bringing this to our attention is????????????????????????

If this is all suspect information and rumors, then all I can say is this doesn't belong on our boards. I say leave the man alone.

Of course, they are suspect information and rumors . The Warren Commission found Lee Havey Oswald acted alone. No, I do not have inside information.

I have no motive to bring this up. It is just a thread. I just came across with something interesting.

My theory is McNabb got hurt and needled up to take the edge off. That would explain the lack of his run game, being dope sick and too stoned to call plays.

Move JFK

Scarecrow · Feb 9, 2005

Ok, I've got it. Lamar Hunt is really a CIA operative who took out JFK. Now flash forward to 10 years ago and Hunt is part of a conspiracy to use soccer to lure the world into coming to America so that he can take the limited internationals, kidnap them, and then brainwash them into being spies.

Then they will.......hey who is that knocking on my door?? Hmmmm..............
