out of the blue Madelyn Brown name Peoples as a person attending the Murchison Party?

Apparently they were quite close Joe...don't forget she, Peoples, and Billy Sol had a filmed interview planned for shortly after Peoples died. She also claims Peoples survived the crash long enough to tell witnesses at the hospital that he was run off the road!

[Dealey Joe]

didnt know that, very interesting. what a shame we didnt get an interview.It amazes me how things jujst got brushed over when they were mentioned like Brown mentioning Peoples and they just let it drop?

[Dealey Joe]

did Brown and Billie ever do an interview together?was billie at the party?

Dear Mr. Timbo Belanger:Timbo - A hearty welcome.Mr. Joe Hall speaks highly of you.Thank You for joining a great group of people, and the Finest JFK Research Forumin the world.Respectfully,BB.

[Timbo]

Thank you Bruce! It is entirely my pleasure. Joe, to the best of my knowledge, Billy Sol was not there that night, although folks like HL Hunt, John J McCloy, Richard Nixon, George Brown. Bill Decker, Carlos Marcello, Cliff Carter, Earl Cabell, Ralph and Joe Yarbororough, BR Sheffield, John Connally, and yes, even Lyndon Johnson, were there, all according to Madelyn Brown. Even Helen Thomas was there...now that really does represent the heights of 'sinister conspiratorial activity' (C. Wecht)! Furthermore, after Peoples' death, the whole joint interview project seems to have been dropped due to a lack of enthusiasm on the part of the two remaining. Small surprise there.

If my memory is good seems like LBJ, Billy Sol and others were in deep trouble with the Fed?Facing federal charges and possible prison time?

[Bruce Patrick Brychek]

Dear Mr. Joe Hall:Joe - You need to study both the Billie Sol Estes and Bobby Baker legal cases, and the history of connections in tandem, with LBJ and his early developmental years in Texas.Craig I. Zirbel wrote two (2) excellent books dealing with the totality of these issues:1. The Texas Connection, written in the early 1990's before much of our current knowledge on these subject matters became more "common." This book was revolutionary at the time as it pointed many fingers at LBJ for a variety of crimes.2. The Final Chapter: The Assassination of JFK, written in approximately 2010, is tremendously worth the read for its level of analysis, depth, history, and thought provoking interconnectedness.A very close friend of mine has been in direct, regular contact with Billie Sol Estes for over the last (10) years. He provides much powerful insight into LBJ, and the entire mix of things as they developed, through his eyes and experiences.Respectfully,BB.

I have found a chapter from a book by James Reston called "The Lone Star- The life of John Connally"I am dumbfounded to see how Connally is the front man for the money/oil people in Texas.Looks like in fact LBJ was more or less controlled by Connolly.never dawned on me this could be true?Also Peoples is mentioned in Ann Richards book "Let the People In" anyone have this book??
