Doug Horne on ARRB Release of 1966 FBI Memo on KGB Finding LBJ culpable for JFK Assassination

Timestamped Bullet Point Summary:

- [0:00 - 0:12] Doug Horne challenges the claim by mainstream historians that the ARRB released no "smoking gun" documents, promising to show four examples.

- [0:12 - 0:21] The first example Horne presents is an FBI report dated December 1, 1966, concerning the Soviet Union's reaction to JFK's assassination.

- [0:21 - 0:42] Horne explains that J. Edgar Hoover's FBI had bugged the KGB residency in New York City, obtaining Russian-language transcripts of Soviet reaction from November 1963 through September 1965.

- [0:42 - 0:59] The FBI translated these transcripts, wrote a summary report, and distributed it to FBI higher echelons and to President Lyndon B. Johnson.

- [0:59 - 1:19] The report reveals that the KGB, after a lengthy investigation, concluded that Lyndon B. Johnson was responsible for JFK's assassination and secretly informed its New York residency staff of this finding.

- [1:22 - 1:30] Horne notes that immediately after the assassination in November 1963, the KGB was unsure what to think but regretted the death.

- [1:30 - 1:41] The KGB regretted JFK's death because President Kennedy and Khrushchev were beginning to work together to resolve Cold War tensions.

- [1:41 - 1:58] Initially, the KGB did not suspect LBJ and instructed their staff to conduct the best possible investigation to determine the true facts.

- [1:58 - 2:15] In September 1965, an official traveled from Moscow to New York City to inform the KGB residency staff of the conclusions of the almost two-year-long investigation.

- [2:19 - 2:32] In September 1965, the KGB colonel informed the staff that LBJ was responsible for the assassination.

- [2:32 - 2:48] Horne states that the specific evidence gathered by the KGB to reach this conclusion is unknown, but the finding was secret and not used as Soviet propaganda in Pravda or Izvestia.

- [2:48 - 3:01] The finding was not used to discredit the United States in the Third World; it was a secret finding relayed only to the KGB staff in New York City.

- [3:01 - 3:20] Horne highlights that J. Edgar Hoover delayed writing up this information in an official report for approximately 14 months before distributing it to the FBI's higher levels and to President Johnson, suggesting this delay is worthy of further study.

- [3:24 - 3:38] Horne presents the key page of the December 1966 FBI document, which contains the paragraph where the KGB concludes LBJ was responsible for the assassination.

- [3:38 - 4:01] Horne reiterates that while the evidence is unknown, the KGB believed the finding and did not use it for propaganda, making it a closely held finding released only to their own people behind closed doors.

- [4:01 - 4:08] Horne concludes that the document carries more weight when the audience can read the words themselves.
