there were two finals he very very much wish to avoid
one was making this an American War as he used to say
its their war the South Vietnamese we can give them a
we can even give them advised but they must win it or lose
and I think he was following prepared to let them lose it rather than making an
American War
he felt that we put Americans in their it when prior

comment the second thing was to avoid
was internationalizing the wars we call by this we met bombing the north or

a greater the lyndon baines johnson's
born in 1908 he grew up in a comfortable middle-class home in Johnson City
at an early age lyndon showed a keen interest in politics
from the beginning he was driven by determination to win
whatever the cost the men were he was ruthless
there wasn't anything he wouldn't do to get what he wanted for Galloway was
and probably the best example would be in 1948 when he was running for the
Senate
and joining us too many coke Stevenson and the
election was very very close the race was so close there was no way to college
lead see-sawed back and forth
as I think you can win it he should know I think we've lost it
and I should know it's gonna be the reversal
up for 1941
three days after the polls closed the votes were still coming in
and Stevenson led by a handful it looked as if Stevenson would be the new senator
from Texas
but Johnson remembered 1941 he was not about to lose again
the election now hinged on the Duke of Duval County
George par the man who control the boats
in South Texas George par controller can
and those people voted where he wanted to go no question about that
none whatever now the candidates had nothing to do with it
in the nature of things you don't write down up
bought these votes you know yesterday afternoon at four o'clock but I
obviously there was some understanding
with the between the Johnson people and political bosses in South Texas
in the tiny South Texas town of Alice
six days after the polls are closed 202
additional votes were reported from precinct box 13
I'll when they were counted all but two
for lyndon johnson well the signatures at the 202 new voters were examined
some say the names were all written in the same Inc
listed in alphabetical order it did look to me like there's been a change in
eek and look like a tuner tuner to the three
names had been headed to the policed
I'll in a different me by different pain
missed Stevenson was a outraged mandate that like the election had been stolen
from me
and he felt like but he just seen was evidence
their Stevenson challenge the election at the Texas State Democratic convention
it was no use the Johnson forces were too powerful
when it was all over precinct box number thirteen made the difference
Johnson 1 by 87 votes
but the question of a stolen election remade
nineteen years later running Duggar met at the White House with President Lyndon
Johnson
and asked him about the election in 1948 one night
up in his bedroom he started laughing in you
seem to sit and wonder if you could find something in savings by Mackin
birds bedroom with much nor Anne
ron brown a closet I cannot I think I could hear him rummaging around
posit me came in at this bar graph these five guys from this old car
with them March 13 balanced on the pyramid
an elected him and Brandon he grinned back
they will explain it to you as to who were these guys why did they have March
13 on other this car
what did it mean just not when say
night stuck with him arrested his line
that re Ballard became the template for a political career
based on bribery and corruption
the full extent of Johnson's criminal activity only began to unravel
eleven years after his death
in 1984 at this courthouse in Franklin Texas
former Johnson business associate Billy Celestes
appear before a grand jury according to Billy Celestes
there were eight murders perpetrated on the pot
lyndon johnson
first name was a man named Douglas Kinza that was followed by
a number of men involved in s these businesses who are corrupt
and they were all chilled with carbon dioxide to see for Johnson's name is
listed on this justice department document that's lyndon johnson sister
so ST's is accusing the vice president i stated murdering his own sister
and the eighth name listed is the president of the united states John F
Kennedy
and then there is a promise knowing more and if Billy Celestes is telling the
truth
and there's every reason to believe he hears it gives you an idea
depth the corruption and the ruthlessness and lyndon johnson
according to st. is written testimony
that murderous cycle began in 1951
in Austin Texas at these downtown golf course known as Butler's pitch and putt
the killer was a Johnson henchman gold Markham
