Who Was Jack Valenti? Lyndon Johnson’s unctuous twerp who married LBJ's top mistress & let Johnson keep sleeping with her

 Jack Valenti was the unctuous right-hand man of Lyndon Johnson who was so subservient to LBJ that he let him sleep with his wife Mary Margaret Wiley Valenti. Later Valenti was a CIA asset while he spent a 38 year career starting in 1966 as the head of the Motion Picture Association of America where he protected the interests of LBJ and the CIA



June 1, 1962 - Lyndon Johnson "gives away" his #1 mistress and former secretary (who he has been screwing since 1954) to Jack Valenti in a cover marriage to protect himself politically - ONE PERSON IN THE PHOTO IS NOT SMILING.

LBJ always said that he liked for his employees to kiss his ass in the window of Macy’s department store in NYC on the hottest day of the year and tell LBJ it smelled like roses. JACK VALENTI WAS JUST THE MAN TO DO THAT.

Jack Valenti was the man who was so subservient to Lyndon Johnson that he let LBJ sleep with his wife Mary Margaret Wiley Valenti. Jack Valenti’s first born child is Courtenay Lynda Valenti who was born three weeks before the JFK assassination and who is really the biological daughter of Lyndon Johnson. Currently in 2021, Courtenay Lynda Valenti sits on the Board of Trustees of the LBJ Foundation: https://www.lbjlibrary.org/foundation/board-of-trustees

Jack Valenti was a Houston advertising man who LBJ met in 1956 and who was an associate of Houston congressman Albert Thomas. Jack Valenti went on to be over the top sychophantic right hand man of Lyndon Johnson for almost three years in the White House

LBJ placed Jack Valenti in Hollywood as the president of the Motion Picture Association of America where he became a lifelong ally of movie mogul Lew Wasserman who was also a key LBJ supporter. The odds are very high that Jack Valenti was an active CIA asset while the head of the MPAA where he could protect the propaganda interests of both Lyndon Johnson and the CIA.

Jack Valenti, member of the Council on Foreign Relations, played the biggest role in organizing coordinated media attacks on Oliver Stone’s movie JFK in the year 1991. Twelve years later, Jack Valenti was the one leading the charge against the History Channel’s The Men Who Killed Kennedy, Episode #9 which was the episode that hit bullseye on the JFK assassination with it’s focus on the role of Lyndon Johnnson in the JFK assassination.

Valenti married Mary Margaret Wiley, who was LBJ’s number one mistress, on June 1, 1962 as a way of giving LBJ political cover. Around this same time LBJ was insisting that another mistress of his Madeleine Duncan Brown also get married to give him political cover.

Jack Valenti, in the years before he died, lobbied hard so that he could be allowed to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery, a place where he is completely unworthy of being interred.

Bottom line: Jack Valenti was an unctuous twerp with bad morals who enabled Lyndon Johnson to escape from the JFK assassination and who spent decades after his death doing his very best to keep a lid on the truth about the JFK assassination. Jack Valenti would procure women for LBJ so that he could disgrace his marriage with Lady Bird and Jack Valenti was so low that he would let Lyndon Johnson sleep with his wife and even have a child with her: Courtenay Lynda Valenti, who is supposedly is the firstborn child of Jack Valenti but who is really the biological daughter of Lyndon Johnson in the same way that Hillary Clinton’s law partner Webb Hubbell is the biological father of Chelsea Clinton.

Mr. Morrow,

Per our conversation, Mary Margaret Wiley attended The University of Texas at Austin from 1949 through 1955.  She returned in 1957 and received a Bachelor of Arts on August 30, 1957.  Her date of birth was September 20, 1932.

Not only did Jack Valenti let his wife Mary Margaret Wiley Valenti sleep with Lyndon Johnson, he was also a pimp for LBJ

 

Famous singer Eddie Fisher in his 1999 autobiography:

 

QUOTE

 

          A lot of men hung around me not because of my scintillating personality, but rather because there were always extra women. That was my reputation: Eddie, women. That’s not bragging, that’s reporting. I had campaigned heavily for Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and after the election I was the first person he called to invite to his ranch for the celebratory party. He even sent the presidential helicopter to pick me up in Austin. It was a huge barbeque, and I sang for him. I was so proud, me and my friend, the President. When I finished singing, Jack Valenti, LBJ’s friend and close aide, sat down close to me. And after a few moments of small talk he asked, “ Eddie, what about getting some of our castaways for the old man?”

          The President of the United States wanted me to find women for him? I didn’t know whether to be honored or insulted. Instead I just laughed, pretending that I thought Valenti was kidding.

TIME 1964 article on Jack Valenti -

http://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,939433,00.html

[“The Administration: The Man Who’s Always There, TIME, April 3, 1964]

Whenever President Johnson strides down the ramp from his presidential jet, not far behind trots Jack Valenti, 42, a banty Texas Italian who seems to have Greasy Kid Stuff all over his hair.

Whenever Johnson's big black Cadillac pulls up to a curb, the President leaves from one door while from another pops Jack Valenti. At home, whenever the President wants his Cutty Sark and soda, the chances are Jack Valenti will be there with it. Even when Johnson is swimming nude in the White House pool, Jack Valenti is there—dutifully logging a daily eight laps alongside the President.

Just who is Jack Valenti, the little man who's always there? Officially he is on the White House staff as a $20,000-a-year "special consultant." But to Lyndon Johnson he is much more. Said the President shortly after he took office:

"The first man I appointed to my staff when I became President was Jack Valenti, whose grandfather came from Italy and who incidentally is about the best fellow with me. He gets up with me every morning. He stays up with me until I go to bed at night, around midnight, and he is the only one who can really take it. The rest of these fellows are sissies."

Hero Worship. There is no question about Valenti's untiring drive. He graduated from a Houston high school at 15, worked eight-hour days as an office boy at an oil company and spent his nights at Houston University, where he wound up a B-plus student. After 51 missions in a B-25 during World War II, he got a graduate degree from the Harvard Business School, eventually opened his own advertising agency in Houston. One of his biggest clients was the Continental Oil Co. Another was Texas Congressman Albert Thomas, political pal of Lyndon Johnson's.

In 1956, Valenti met Johnson for the first time at a Democratic coffee party. It was hero worship at first sight for the bouncy adman. As a sideline, Valenti was writing a weekly column for the Houston Post, and no sooner had he met Lyndon than he loosed a gushing tribute titled "The Great Persuader." Wrote Valenti of Johnson:

"There is a gentleness in his manner, but there is no disguising the taut, crackling energies that spill out of him even when he's standing still. And no mistaking, either, the feel of strength, unbending as a mountain crag, tough as a jungle fighter."

The friendship blossomed—profitably for Valenti, for in 1960 his agency handled Texas advertising for the Kennedy-Johnson ticket. During that period, Valenti met Mary Margaret Wiley, a pretty Austin girl who had been one of Johnson's secretaries since 1954.

At their wedding, in June 1962, Johnson gave the bride away. Valenti saw a lot of the Johnsons after that. On the night of last Nov. 21, Valenti whomped up a big ceremonial dinner in Houston for Albert Thomas—with both Vice President Johnson and President Kennedy on hand. Next day, Johnson insisted that Valenti accompany him to Dallas, even got him a place in the presidential motorcade. When Kennedy was killed, Jack Valenti was almost immediately at Johnson's side.

He stayed there during the historic moment in the sweltering cabin of Air Force One when Johnson was sworn in, and he flew right on to Washington without even a clean shirt along.

To the Boss's Taste. In those first days, Valenti was with Johnson almost constantly—waking him at 6 a.m., sharing his breakfast, bringing him newspapers, making his phone calls, all but tucking him into bed at night. Still, he was something of a mystery man. Even White House insiders weren't sure at first whether he was a valet, a happy-fella sidekick to take Johnson's mind off his problems, or a major power behind the throne.

Since then, it has become clear that Valenti is a great deal more than an omnipresent pal. When a Congressman wants to know how the President feels about a bill, he checks with Jack Valenti. Whenever there is a meeting of the Cabinet or the National Security Council, Valenti is there. At every briefing by White House Press Secretary George Reedy, Jack Valenti lingers in a nearby doorway. When Johnson has to make a speech, Valenti goes over it first—editing it into short, simple sentences made up of short, simple words, just the way Lyndon likes it.

Many speeches Valenti writes himself. He did most of the President's foreign aid message, using notes from White House Aide McGeorge Bundy. Last week it was Jack Valenti who penciled in the boffo "war and peace" windup to the President's speech before A.F.L.-C.I.O. leaders. And before the talk, Valenti himself was around, prodding reporters to stay alert because "there's something at the end you'll be interested in."

White House insiders insist that Valenti makes no policy decisions for the President. And Valenti himself described his job to a friend: "I'm just a little cog in a big machine." Possibly. But Albert Thomas, who has known both Valenti and Johnson for years, says, "I've nicknamed Jack 'the Vice President.' He has the 100% confidence of the President. Make no mistake about that. He's a companion, and the President will try things out on him. He's worth his weight in gold."

Courtenay Lynda Valenti is the biological daughter of Lyndon Johnson and not Jack Valenti

 I have been told by JFK researchers that one of Jack Valenti's daughters is really the biological daughter of Lyndon Johnson who was having an affair with one of his secretaries who married Jack Valenti. Lyndon Johnson who had numerous affairs, including those on the floor of the Oval Office, sure doted on Courtenay as a toddler in the White House. Jack Valenti was the obsequious LBJ aide.  Mary Margaret Valenti, a secretary to Lyndon Johnson was she having an affair with  LBJ.

 An excellent book to get regarding the JFK assassination is Dog Days at the White House: The Outrageous Memoirs of the Presidential Kennel Keeper by Traphes Bryant. It was published in 1975. http://www.amazon.co...l/dp/002517990X


Traphes Bryant quotes the sex addict John F. Kennedy saying: "I am not through with a girl till I’ve had her three ways.” [Traphes Bryant, Dog Days at the White House, p. 38]

Some really good books on the JFK assassination often are those that are not directly about the 1963 Coup d'Etat, but rather those that give great personal insights into those involved.

This book gives great insights to the character of the sex addict, John F. Kennedy, who we know was a compromised, blackmailable man. It also gives good insights into Lyndon Johnson, a megalomaniac who by definition thinks or wants the world to revolve around him. Another person who we learn a LOT about is Jack Valenti and what an obsequious SLAVE to Lyndon Johnson he was. I am now firmly convinced that Jack Valenti married a the personal secretary of Lyndon Johnson who Lyndon Johnson got pregnant. This young later is Mary Margaret Wiley, now Mary Margaret Valenti. She was a real Texas beauty back in her day and a paramour of LBJ.

In books (I can't source them now, probably one of Ron Kessler's) the Secret Service agents report that one of LBJ's aides used to bring his WIFE into the White House for Lyndon Johnson to have sex with. I think this aide was Jack Valenti who was basically pimping his wife out to Lyndon Johnson.

A "yes man" really does not adequately describe what a bootlicker Jack Valenti was for LBJ. I really think Jack Valenti would lick peanut butter off the floor if Lyndon Johnson wanted him to.

Jack Valenti, CFR member, is important later because he was one of the key architects in the media attempting to cover up the JFK assassination. Many folks know that Valenti as head of the Motion Picture Association helped to get the episodes 7,8,9 of The Men Who Killed Kennedy banned from the History Channel because they got so close to the truth of Lyndon Johnson's role in the JFK assassination. What folks don't know is that Valenti was the one orchestrating the media attacks on JFK the movie by Oliver Stone in 1991. The CIA/CFR assets in the US media were attacking that movie long before it came and often since its release. Jack Valenti was absolutely one of the leaders of that CIA/CFR assault on the movie JFK.

 

 “Dog Days at the White House: The Outrageous Memoirs of the Presidential Kennel Keeper” by Traphes Bryant on Lyndon Johnson, Courtenay Valenti, Jack Valenti, Mary Margaret Valenti

 

            “Courtney was the most special child to come to the White House. She absolutely ruled the President and could make him “fetch and carry”any time she wanted to. The President gave special orders to be informed any time she came to see her daddy, LBJ’s special assistant, which was often.

            Courtney’s mother, Mary Margaret, started out as LBJ’s receptionist in his Texas office when he was U.S. senator and then came to Washington as his personal secretary. She was the real beauty of the LBJ gang, and when she came to visit the White House, she rated extra kisses and a real fuss was made over her by the President. The President liked to relax in his office just sitting around talking to Mary Margaret.

            Everyone was amazed when Mary Margaret – who was Mary Margaret Wiley – suddenly married Jack Valenti. Except those who say LBJ engineered the marriage. Maybe he wanted to keep her in the family. To him, Mary Margaret and Courtney were a family.

            Time and time again LBJ would tell me to look out for Courtney. To be good to Courtney. To protect Courtney. To keep Blanco away from Courtney. Once he said, “You let anything happen to Courtney and I’ll hang your hide on the barn door.” In other words, the President liked that child.”

 

[Traphes Bryant, Dog Days at the White House: The Outrageous Memoirs of the presidential Kennel Keeper, 123-124]

 

“And I read in the newspapers that when LBJ died, with something like $25 million in his estate, he left his brother only a token gift - $25,000.

            That is only a little more than he left Mary Margaret Valenti, mother of his beloved little Courtney, or that he left his trusted secretary Mary Rather.

 

[Dog Days at the White House, p. 132]

 

The President held up Valenti’s little girl, Courtney, and told her, “Look honey, here comes Bryant, Blanco and Him.” She wanted to play with the dogs. She led Blanco on a leash while I kept an eye on him. I made Blanco sit, and she petted Him. Then she hugged Blanco and called him “Blink.” Her Daddy pointed to the beagle and she said, “Him.” Valenti then pointed to the President and Courtney said, “Prez.” LBJ beamed ear to ear and kissed her nose.

 

[Dog Days at the White House, p. 142]

 

“As I was taking the pups into the Bouquet Room, President Johnson stopped and petted the pups. I told the President Courtney was playing with the pups but she had just left. The President was furious. “Why didn’t they let me know Courtney was here?”

            He was really upset. “Damn it, I am supposed to be notified.” The President loved Courtney just as much as his own Luci and Lynda Bird – he once called her, “my little girl, my little heartbeat” – and certainly spent more time with her when she was around than with his big, busy daughters.

            On almost any excuse, the President had Valenti or his wife bring Courtney to the White House and the President thoroughly relaxed as he played with the child, catering to her every whim.

 

[Dog Days at the White House, p. 155]

 

On 2/23/1966:   The President greeted the Veep. Valenti’s secretary told Courtney to go see Daddy, who was on the helicopter. Courtney didn’t see her daddy as she ran toward the President, who lifted her up.

 

[Dog Days at the White House, p. 157]

 

3/2/1966: Courtney and her pups had their picture made. The President never gets tired of posing with Courtney. I told Mrs. Valenti that I wanted a picture of Courtney, the President, and pups. She said she would get me one.

 

[Dog Days at the White House, p. 158]

 

4/1/1966  The Prez came out of his office and played with Courtney. Then he took her back in. One of the pups gave her a kiss; she wiped it off her coat. The President gave the dogs some dog candy in his office. Courtney got jealous, closed the candy drawer on the President’s desk, and said, “That’s all.” She didn’t want the pups getting the Prez’s attention.

 

[Dog Days at the White House, p. 159]

 

Toward the end of Luci’s [wedding] reception the President got a little wistful because it was almost time for his daughter to leave on her honeymoon. The Prez stood with a bemused look on his face on the Truman Balcony, with little Courtney in his arms, surveying the mob below.

 

[Dog Days at the White House, p. 169]

 

8/15/1966  The Prez returned from Texas. He held Courtney at the window while they were landing so she could see Blanco and Beagle. The President carried her off the helicopter.

 

[Dog Days at the White House, p. 170]

 

3/12/67 Now the dogs have two doghouses with electric heat and a floodlight. The Prez showed it all to little Courtney. Courtney liked it. LBJ liked it.

 

[Dog Days at the White House, p. 179]

 

I realized I was stuck with Blanco and that I would have to protect everyone from the dog, especially Lyndon’s beloved Courtney. Luckily, little Courtney somehow had gotten through to Blanco, and she was about the only one besides Luci who could lead him around by the nose. I think Blanco liked Courtney almost as much as the President did. But I still watched the two pretty carefully as they romped about, remembering Lyndon’s warning that if anything happened to that little girl, he’d have my hide on the barn door. He would have, too.

 

[Dog Days at the White House, p. 187-188]

 

The Importance of Mary Margaret Wiley Valenti; LBJ's fave mistress knows the Deep, Dark Secrets of Lyndon Johnson

Alive today in 2012 at age 79

 

Mary Margaret Wiley Valenti may have been the most critical and important mistress of Lyndon Baines Johnson. This is not well known. Well, you need to learn it now. She is probably even more important than Madeleine Duncan Brown who I think is very important.

Lyndon Johnson was born 8/27/1908. Mary Margaret Wiley was born in 1932. I do not know exactly what year she met LBJ. I do not know what year they started their affair.

A pure guess would be 1955 when LBJ was age 47 and she was age 23. That is a guess. Lyndon Johnson, according to Ronald Kessler was having sex with 5 of his 8 secretaries when he was VP or president. A local lawyer in Austin, TX told me that LBJ's first question before he hired a secretary was "Does she shuck her drawers?"

Mary Margaret Wiley was the fave mistress of LBJ. She was in Los Angeles at the 1960 Democratic convention where Lyndon Johnson and Sam Rayburn blackmailed/strongarmed/intimidated John Kennedy into putting LBJ on the ticket as VP. This is something John Kennedy had absolutely NO intentions of doing. That occurred on the night of July 13, 1960. Mary Margaret Wiley was there while all this was going on.


Mary Margaret Wiley Valenti also gave birth to a daughter Courtenay Lynda Valenti 3 weeks before the JFK assassination. Courtenay "Lynda" Valenti is named after LBJ and (short of a DNA test) is almost certainly the daughter of Lyndon Johnson.

Courtenay Lynda Valenti was born 3 weeks before the JFK assassination in early November, 1963, as per Jack Valenti's autobiography.

Ronald Kessler in his book on the Secret Service reports that one of Lyndon Johnson's friends was letting his wife into the White House to have sex with Lyndon Johnson. My educated guess is that person is Jack Valenti.

So the bottom line is this: Mary Margaret Wiley Valenti is ALIVE today in the year 2012 and there is NO DOUBT in my mind that she knows and holds many deep, dark secrets of Lyndon Johnson. She may even have critical knowledge of the JFK assassination. Mary Margaret would certainly have a lot of inside info from the Johnson angle on what was happening at the 1960 Democratic convention.

Jack Valenti, before he died, spent decades as one of the most active media cover up artists of the JFK assassintion.

That is why Mary Margaret Valenti is so important. She is age 79 today in the year 2012 and will be 80 later this year. She has tremendous amounts of insider knowledge regarding Lyndon Johnson.

 

Harry McPherson on Mary Margaret Valenti

A "confidante" to Lyndon Johnson

 

Robert Morrow 3/28/12:

 

Harry McPherson was a key insider and assistant to Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson. He began work with him in 1956 and later served in key posts under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson.

He wrote a book "A Political Education: A Washington Memoir:"
http://www.amazon.co...32994231&sr=1-1

In it he mentions Mary Margaret Valenti. He also mentions the JFK assassination. He talks about tear being shed on the day of the JFK assassination by a Col. John Sitterson while he was in Tokyo.

Then McPherson writes: "The Johnsons were there because Bill Baxter's ministry had attracted Mrs. Johnson and Mary Margaret Valenti, a lovely woman who had served Johnson as secretary and confidante." [McPherson, "A Political Education," p. 214]

 

 

QUOTE

 

And came again, two days later at St. Mark’s in Washington. The Johnsons were there because Bill Baxter’s ministry had attracted Mrs. Johnson and Mary Margaret Valenti, a lovely woman who had served Johnson as secretary and confidante

 

UNQUOTE

 

[Harry McPherson, A Political Education, p. 214]

 

[The truth is Mary Margaret Wiley was LBJ’s longtime secretary and #1 mistress while he was the Senate Majority Leader and Vice President. LBJ had his toady aide Jack Valenti marry Mary Margaret in June, 1962, to cover up his adultery because he thought the Kennedys would use it against him. Jack Valenti let LBJ keep having sex with his “wife” and Mary Margaret because pregnant with LBJ’s child and had a daughter with him Courtenay Lynda Valenti who was named after LBJ and as of the year 2020 was sitting on the board of trustees of the LBJ Foundation.]

 

I hope folks understand the significance of this. Mary Margaret Valenti (nee Wiley) was a CONFIDANTE of Lyndon Johnson and she is being described as such by Harry McPherson, who was one of LBJ's closest CONFIDANTES. Harry McPherson died recently in 2012.

Mary Margaret Valenti is alive today. She was born in 1932. LBJ was born in 1908. She would be about age 79 today. I should not have to point out how IMPORTANT her oral history could be. Incredibly important; there is no telling what insights she could give into the Lyndon Johnson and the politics of the time.

Mary Margaret, at age 27, was in Los Angeles for the Democratic national convention, and all the strongarming of JFK that went on by LBJ and Sam Rayburn. She was at the LBJ residence, The Elms, the night of the JFK assassination, and gave LBJ a kiss as he came in the door.

Her daughter, Courtenay Lynda Valenti, was born 3 weeks before the JFK assassination and became LBJ's "baby in the White House."

Someone needs to contact her and ask if she would give her oral history. And if she has given it already, then by all means give some more oral history. She is that important. She could be a key to unlocking the JFK assassination.

We know what Lyndon Johnson told Madeleine Brown; LBJ was spending far, far, far more time with Mary Margaret Wiley. He was seeing her every day as she worked in his Washington, DC Senate office.

She was, as much as Lady Bird, there for everything.

 

Mary Margaret Wiley, close LBJ aide/girlfriend, at the 1960 Democratic convention – later married Jack Valenti

                        

“As befitted my role of spear carrier at that time, I was not mingling with LBJ, Sam Rayburn, John Connally, or any other big shots. Mary Margaret, my future wife, was there with Mrs. Johnson, in the majority leader’s suite. She was privy to some fascinating pieces of history as LBJ greeted Sam Rayburn, senators, congressmen, and other luminaries including Philip Graham, publisher of the Washington Post and a Johnson supporter.

            I sat with other serfs and vassals in front of the TV set up in a large room for those working on the outer edges of the Johnson campaign. The TV announcer told us that Johnson had accepted an offer from JFK as his choice for the second spot. It had a stunning impact on the nation and most emphatically on the Texas delegation. I was caught by surprise – mind-boggled might be more accurate.”

[Jack Valenti, This Place, This Time, p. 65]

 

Lyndon Johnson and Mary Margaret Wiley, as told by Air Force One (and Two) pilot Col. Ralph Albertazzie

 

            "Nor did Johnson make an effort to hide his fondness for the company of Mary Margaret Wiley, a pretty secretary who later married another LBJ aide, Jack Valenti. Johnson simply assumed that everybody understood his love for Lady Bird, and hers for him. Since there was no question about that in his own mind, he did not expect that people would see anything amiss with the flirtatious attention he delighted in paying other women. Lady Bird, secure in her own relationship with him, tolerated it all with rare good nature and some amusement.

            On one occasion, what normally would have been a quick overnight flight out of Washington unexpectedly turned into a three-day safari. It was a classic example of Johnsonian whim.

            Johnson had flown to Kansas City, Missouri, to address a Democratic fund-raising dinner. Since it was supposed to be a quick trip, only a handful of persons accompanied him: an ever-present pair of Secret Service agents, a military aide, and secretary Mary Margaret Wiley. Shortly after LBJ's arrival, a fire broke out in the kitchen of the hotel where the dinner was to be held, forcing cancellation of the event.

            Albertazzie, who had given his crew the night off, heard about the blaze on a radio newscast while visiting friends in Kansas City. He hustled back to the airport, rounded up the crew, and hurriedly made preparations for what he supposed would be an immediate return to Washington.

            As soon as Johnson and the others were aboard, Albertazzie started the engines, activated his Washington-bound flight plan, and contacted the tower. The plane was already taxiing to the runway when a hand tapped his shoulder. It was LBJ's Air Force aide. The Vice President, he said, didn't want to go back to Washington. He wanted to go to the ranch instead.

            So they flew to Texas, landing at Bergsrom Air Force Base outside Austin. Johnson and his companions drove to the LBJ ranch. Albertazzie and the crew stayed on the base, since Johnson had said he wanted to fly back to Washington early the next day.

            Everything was in readiness the following morning, but departure time came and went - and no Johnson. Finally, Albertazzie got a call from the ranch from Stuart Knight, LBJ's senior agent who later became Secret Service director. "The man doesn't want to go to Washington," Knight said. "He wants to go to New York. He says he and Mary Margaret are going to see 'Death of a Salesman' on Broadway, then they are going to have dinner, and then we'll fly home after that."

            The visit of a President or Vice President to New York City is a formidable undertaking even when it is unofficial. The city's politicians like to put on a good show and, of course, Manhattan's traffic has to be surmounted. That requires a substantial police motorcycle escort, the blocking of ramps and side streets, much flashing of red lights and the blowing of sirens. Then there is the matter of security, so extraordinary precautions have to be taken, including the placement of policemen on all the bridges and at key points along the route from the airport to the heart of the city.

            New York's finest were all over Idlewild and the parkway when Air Force Two swooped in for LBJ's theatre date. The crew stayed aboard, since it would only be a matter of a few hours before the plane would be on its way to Washington.

            "Ten o'clock came, eleven o'clock came, and still no word," Albertazzie recalled. "Finally, about midnight, I heard from Stu Knight. The Vice President, he said, had decided to stay in New York overnight and would go to Washington the first thing in the morning ... about nine A.M."

            So the cops were dismissed, and the crew and I moved the plane over to the Lockheed area for security and buttoned up for the night. We finally located some motel rooms and got to bed about 1:30 A.M. We were up again at 5:30 so we could get back to the plane and get it ready for departure at nine o'clock.

            "Well, nine o'clock came and went and no sign of LBJ. About eleven o'clock, I located Stu Knight and asked, "What's happening?"

            "'I don't know,' Stu said. 'Right now, the man is getting his hair cut. Then I think he is going to eat lunch. So it'll be some time after that before we get out of here. I'll call you if I find out.'"

            Late in the afternoon, Albertazzie thought he detected increased police activity around the airport. Sure enough, about five o'clock, a motorcade with flashing red lights swept into view and stopped on the tarmac beside the plane. It was LBJ, along with Mary Margaret and the three aides. Albertazzie and the crew almost cheered.

            Twenty minutes later, the plane was in the skies heading back to Washington. Johnson sent word up to the cockpit to "pour on the coal." He had a seven P.M. engagement and didn't want to be late.

Texas reporter Sarah McClendon: Bill Moyers was brought on as a “religious aide” to act as a beard covering up the Lyndon Johnson/Mary Margaret Wiley relationship

 

 

            Bill Moyers had just begun handling the press for Lyndon at that time. Moyers, who’d graduated from Southwest Theological Institute in Fort Worth, had been brought to Washington because of another rumor: there had been speculation that LBJ’s relationship with his top secretary Mary Margaret Wiley had become an intimate as well as a professional one. Concerned, Lyndon had asked his good friend Harry Provence of the Waco Tribune and several  other Texas editors to look for someone to prevent that kind of talk. And who better to give the Vice Presidential staff a more “sanctified” appearance than a young man headed for the ministry? So Moyers was hired on, ostensibly to deal with policy concerning religion and to answer letters that had a religious tone. In actuality, he was a chaperone who would travel with Lyndon and Mary Margaret to show that all was on the up-and-up.”

Mary Margaret Wiley was the most key, inner circle secretary/mistress of LBJ

 

            On the way back to Washington the following day, somewhere between Los Angeles and Albuquerque, as I recall, LBJ was sipping a cold drink and relaxing. He slapped me on the knee.

            “Rufus, we’re gonna get it this month. We’re finally gonna pass that legislation. You boys won’t have to check with Mary Margaret to find out if I want you, because I won’t have any choice in the matter. There’ll be Secret Service for the Vice President, whether he requests it or not.”

Mary Margaret Wiley was one of the few people who LBJ would let drive him around the LBJ Ranch

 

QUOTE

 

          Johnson permitted few persons to drive him around on the ranch. One who did was his secretary, Mary Margaret Wiley. But even with her, he sat hunched and tense, ready to explode as she barely missed the cattle guards protruding from the ground. “You get only a B-minus for missing that one so close,” he muttered. “You get an A for that one . . . now you got an A-plus  . . .”

Journalist Joshua Kendall spoke with Mary Margaret Wiley Valenti around the year 2014. She shot back “Do you want the dirt?”

 “Robert Caro’s Blind Spot: Why does the exhaustive biographer overlook Lyndon Johnson’s virulent misogyny?” by Joshua Kendall for Slate  4-22-2019

 QUOTE

 About five years ago, I placed a call to Mary Margaret Wiley, who served as President Lyndon Johnson’s personal secretary from 1954 to 1962. I was writing a chapter on LBJ for my book First Dads: Parenting and Politics From George Washington to Barack Obama, and I figured that Wiley could shed some light on Johnson’s relationships with his daughters, Lynda and Luci.

As soon as I identified myself as a biographer, Wiley shot back, “Do you want the dirt?”

“No,” I replied, “I am interested in talking to you about how LBJ interacted with his children.”

Without further ado, Wiley, who died last fall at the age of 85, hung up the phone. My interview was over before I could pose a single question. Puzzled about her remark, I turned to LBJ: Architect of American Ambition by Randall Woods. Wiley did not speak with Woods either, but he learned a lot about her by talking with her successor, Marie Fehmer, who worked for Johnson from 1962 to 1969. In her interview with Woods, Fehmer said that Wiley and Johnson had had a long affair. And Fehmer also admitted that LBJ had tried to seduce her. In November 1962, just a few months after she took over for Wiley, Johnson offered to set Fehmer up in an apartment in New York City, if she would agree to have his child—a proposal she politely declined.

So the “dirt” that Wiley was alluding to likely had something to do with the fact that our 36th president was a sexual predator who preyed on his secretaries. As noted by Woods and a few other Johnson chroniclers—say, biographer Robert Dallek and longtime aide George Reedy—he also repeatedly groped his female staffers. Presidential speechwriter Horace Busby reported that once, while he was seated in the back seat of a car, he saw Johnson grab a woman under her skirt with one hand while driving with the other.

 The Personal Touch | The New Yorker

 

Mary Margaret went to work for LBJ in 1953 as a secretary and soon she became his top sexual companion.

 QUOTE

 In the spring of 1961, Valenti began to date Johnson’s personal secretary, a vivacious blond woman named Mary Margaret Wiley. Wiley, who grew up in Austin, had begun working for Johnson eight years earlier, after graduating from the University of Texas, and was a favorite of his—spending time at the Johnson ranch, and accompanying him on political trips. In the summer of 1962, at twenty-nine, she married Valenti, who was eleven years her senior. Her father was ill at the time, so Vice-President Johnson gave away the bride. Wiley quit her job but, as was often the case with people who left Johnson’s orbit, kept being drawn back in; in the fall of 1962, she accompanied the Vice-President to Iran, Turkey, and Greece. And she and Valenti were frequent guests at the L.B.J. ranch.

It was not until November of 1963 that Johnson began to rely on Valenti. Valenti had organized a dinner in Houston, attended by President and Mrs. Kennedy and the Vice-President and his wife, Lady Bird; it had gone exceptionally well, and Johnson asked Valenti to accompany him to Dallas the next day and then continue with him to Austin, for another dinner that Valenti had orchestrated. Valenti, delighted, agreed. He was in the motorcade in Dallas the next day. He was among those who rushed to Parkland Hospital, where President Kennedy had been taken, and where he eventually learned that the President was dead and that Johnson wanted him on Air Force One. Valenti sped there (he appears in the famous photograph of Johnson taking the oath of office), and for the next couple of months lived with Johnson, first in the Elms, the Vice-President’s residence, and then in the White House. Liz Carpenter, Lady Bird’s press secretary, who was also on Air Force One that day, told me, “He scooped Jack up—that’s so Johnsonian! Houston had been successful, so he scooped him up and took him along. Johnson was such an impromptu, impulsive, enthusiastic person—particularly when things had gone well. It just happened that way. Destiny. Jack was there, he was capable, he was a ‘can-do man,’ as Johnson liked to say.”

"LBJ is 'Prez' to His Little Darling"

Reading Eagle, June 19, 1966:

 

 

Editor's Note - There are few persons outside the president's immediate family who have open-door access to him, but one who does has the temerity to call him "Prez" - and he just loves it. Who is this daring person? Why it's the president's darling: Courtenay Lynda Valenti, aged 2.

 

By FRANCES LEWINE

 

Associated Press Writer

 

            Washington (AP) - Courtenay Lynda Valenti wandered into the President's White House office, sat down and picked up his inter-office phone.

            She jabbered away softly despite the presence of President Johnson and a high-level conference of both parties.

            From time to time, she paused to stare critically at one speaker after another, including the president.

            Courtenay made no comments.

            Later, a Republican congressman requested a picture of the "marvelous little girl who took part in our conference." He said he'd never before attended a presidential meeting "with a little girl monitoring it."

            Courtenay is 2 1/2 years old now. But she has already had more inside moments with the President of the United States and his advisors than many a politician.

           

            Talk Together Often

 

            Johnson calls her a few times a week to chat. She rides in helicopters, greets him at church, visits his ranch. And, not long ago, she stood triumphantly on the front seat of the President's car while he drove. She discussed the passing countryside with him and his secretary of Defense at Camp David.

           

            The sprightly little girl with soft brown hair and eyes holds her own with the tall man in the White House. When he asks her to do something, she just tells him, "wait a minute, Prez."

 

            Courtenay is acknowledged as the President's "favorite girl friend." He even had an album of pictures inscribed to her that way. It contains a continuing collection of photos of Courtenay and the President taken by Johnson's favorite official photographer, Yoichi Okamoto.

 

            Romance Started Early

 

            Courtenay's romance with the President started when she started to walk - and that was early, "about 9 or 10 months" says her father and chief press spokesman, Jack Valenti.

 

            Getting ready to leave his post as a top presidential advisor to become president of  the Motion Picture Assn. of America with offices a few blocks away, Valenti said:

 

            "Whether the President sees me or not- this romance will go on." It will surmount all difficulties, geographical or otherwise, like any real romance, he predicted.

 

            Courtenay's parents first introduced her at the White House, where they already had a big in.

 

            Father Jack had gone to work for Johnson the day he succeeded to the presidency. And mother, Mary Margaret Wiley, had been Johnson's secretary for nine years on Capital Hill before her marriage.

 

            Lynda Middle Name

 

            When she was born in Houston, Tex., Oct. 30, 1963, Courtenay's parents gave her the middle name of Lynda in honor of the President.

           

            In her intimate circles, though, Courtenay is now called "Corry" by her father, and "Chiquita," by the President.

 

            Courtenay made many appearances before the nation's press when she met the President with her family after Sunday church services. For eight months, the Valentis lived next door to St. Mark's Episcopal Church on Capitol Hill and the Johnson's stopped by to visit during their frequent attendance there.

 

            But Courtenay really made her debut when she went to visit the President at Bethesda Naval Hospital after his gall bladder operation.

           

            In a lavishly photographed scene, Johnson called the little girl over and said "besito" (little kiss) and Courtenay bestowed the requested kiss again and again.

 

            When the President said "who do you love," she came up on cue: "I love Prez."

 

            "Critical" Moment Noted

 

            But there was a critical moment in the big romance a few Sundays ago when Courtenay was put to the test before a company of friends, Viet Nam veterans, family and reporters and declared "I love Pat" instead of the usual "I love Prez."

 

            Reading about it in the press the next day, Johnson jokingly scolded the reporters, suggested they needed hearing aids and declared the very idea that Courtenay was switching her affection to his daughter's fiance, Pat Nugent, was a misquotation.

 

            When Courtenay isn't hob-nobbing at the White House, she has a coterie of little friends her own age, the sons and daughters of other prominent Washingtonians.

 

            But when things get boring at home, she sends word:

 

            "Tell Prez I wanna go helicopter!"

Jack Valenti, who used to let his wife Mary Margaret have sex with LBJ, blasted Oliver Stone’s movie JFK as “Nazi” propaganda. Valenti’s first born daughter Courtenay Lynda Valenti (who is the biological daughter of Lyndon Johnson) in 2021 sits on the board of Trustees of the LBJ Foundation

 

Valenti Blasts 'JFK' as Nazi-esque Propaganda (apnews.com)

 

[“Valenti Blasts ‘JFK’ as Nazi-esque Propaganda,” Associated Press, 4-2-1992

 

LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Jack Valenti, a top film industry official and former aide to President Johnson, has issued a stinging attack on Oliver Stone’s film ″JFK,″ comparing it to Nazi propaganda and calling it a ″hoax.″

In a seven-page statement that Valenti said was unconnected to his role as president of the Motion Picture Association of America, he tackled Stone’s depiction of a Kennedy assassination conspiracy that included then-Vice President Johnson.

Valenti, whose association provides movie ratings, dismissed the film’s allegation of a coverup as ″quackery″ plucked from a ″slag heap of loony theories″ in a book by former New Orleans prosecutor Jim Garrison.

He called the film a ″hoax″ and a ″smear″ and said: ″In much the same way, young German boys and girls in 1941 were mesmerized by Leni Reifenstahl’s ‘Triumph of the Will’ in which Adolf Hitler was depicted as a newborn god.″

Garrison, played by Kevin Costner in ″JFK,″ became obsessed with trying to prove that Kennedy was killed by conspirators, not by Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone.

″Does any sane human being truly believe that President Johnson, the Warren Commission members, law enforcement officers, CIA, FBI, White House aides, and assorted thugs, weirdos, frisbee throwers, all conspired together as plotters in Garrison’s wacky sightings?″ Valenti asked.

″And then for almost 29 years nothing leaked? But you have to believe it if you think well of any part of this accusatory lunacy,″ he said.

Valenti dismissed Garrison’s book as ″hallucinatory bleatings.″

Valenti told The New York Times, in a story published Thursday, that he withheld his criticism of ″JFK″ until after the Academy Awards on Monday. ″JFK″ had received eight nominations, including best picture.

″I waited to speak out because I didn’t want to do anything which might affect this picture’s theatrical release or the Oscar balloting,″ Valenti said.

The movie, which had been nominated for best picture, won two Oscars for technical achievement.

Stone told the Times he respected Valenti’s loyalty to Johnson but found ″his emotional diatribe off the mark.″

″The overwhelming majority of Americans ... agree with the central thesis of my film: that President Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy which included people in the government,″ Stone said.

A call seeking comment from Garrison was not returned.

Karl Malden, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, was away filming and was unavailable for comment, an assistant said.

Valenti also called the film a ″monstrous charade″ about Johnson that ranks with Soviet revisionist history.

″Mr. Stone hurls at Lyndon Johnson one of the deadliest slurs one human can lay on another, a charge of accessory to and an accomplice in a cover-up of the murder of the president of the United States,″ Valenti said.

Valenti, who became a special assistant to Johnson immediately following Kennedy’s assassination Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas, cited an intimate knowledge of White House affairs in rebutting the film’s portrayal of events.

He also defended the members of the Warren Commission. ″To indict these men of honor, along with Lyndon Johnson, is vicious, cruel and false.″

Lyndon Johnson in November, 1962 asked his young secretary Mary Fehmer to have his baby and offered to put her up in an apartment in New York. Later LBJ installed Fehmer at the CIA to look after his interests.

[Randall Woods, LBJ: Architect of American Ambition, p. 404-406]

QUOTE

DURING HIS TENURE as vice president, LBJ added two more attractive young women to his staff, Vicky McCammon and Marie Fehmer. They continued a tradition. According to Juanita Roberts, the former WAC colonel who would hold the title of personal secretary to the president after Johnson succeeded to the presidency, there were always two secretarial staffs: the group that stayed on the ground and staffed the phones and the coterie that flew with LBJ when he was on his travels.

          First among the flight crew was Mary Margaret Wiley, the vivacious, attractive blonde who had gone to work for the Johnsons in 1951. She was widely rumored to have had an affair with LBJ and continued to enjoy a close relationship with him even after she married Houston advertising executive Jack Valenti in 1962. Vicky McCammon, a striking coed from San Angelo, made friends with Susan Taylor, Lady Bird’s niece, while both were attending George Washington University in Washington. McCammon caught Johnson’s eye when Susan began inviting her to parties at The Elms. A political science major, she intrigued Johnson with her knowledge and self-confidence during an informal discussion of the Bay of Pigs fiasco. “And when I would be in Austin and he would come down to the ranch,” she recalled, “he would call and he would talk and talk and talk. [He would] want to know how my courses were going and what I was studying and this and that … I think I was so young that it was almost like a teacher-student kind of thing.”

          In the summer of 1962, LBJ hired Marie Fehmer, a slender brunette from Dallas, to replace Willey, who would marry in June. She had just graduated from Texas with a degree in journalism and was planning to go to graduate school. The Johnsons had learned of Fehmer from the brother of journalist William S. White, for whom the young woman had done some work. In typical fashion, Lyndon summoned her to the offices of KTBC for an extended interview, including a hamburger lunch and a wide-ranging discussion that covered everything from typing speed to religion and politics. She went to work that afternoon and remained on the job until Lyndon Johnson’s last day in the White House.

          The vice president, fifty-four years old and unhappy, quickly fell in love with Fehmer. She went everywhere with Johnson and soon became accustomed to summonses at any and all hours. “I protested one time at the ranch,” she recalled, “where a speaker phone went through the house and he would wake up about 8:00 in the morning and he would yell over the speaker phone, Marie do you want to go swimming? Well, no, I am in bed but I go, and we go swimming.”

          One of the reasons Johnson found Marie so fascinating was that though she was obviously taken with him and his attentions, she refused to sleep with him. It provoked his curiosity. He believed that any meaningful relationship between a man and woman ought to end in sex. One day, when they were floating in the pool, he asked why she resisted him. I’m Catholic, it’s against my religion, she replied. Charmed, he had her explain at length. Lady Bird sensed the growing depth of the relationship and kept a close eye on the newcomer. In November 1962, Johnson made an astounding proposal to Marie. If she would agree to have his son, he would set her up in an apartment in New York. Fehmer refused, but their relationship only seemed to deepen.

          Some on LBJ’s staff believed that Lady Bird not only knew about her husband’s affairs, but condoned them. Fehmer remembered a trip to California with Mrs. Johnson shortly after she was hired. LBJ and Mary Margaret Wiley were already there, and when Lady Bird and Marie arrived, a woman’s underwear was strewn all over the hotel room. Instead of being angry, Lady Bird seemed to go out of her way to be nice to Mary Margaret.

          Horace Busby recalled one weekend while LBJ was vice president. Johnson invited former congresswoman Helen Douglas to spend the weekend with him. Lady Bird conveniently arranged to leave on a shopping trip to New York shortly before Helen arrived. Busby recalled that Johnson and Douglas lounged around the pool holding hands and showing obvious affection for each other.

FBI Probed Hollywood's Jack Valenti for Mob Ties

By Jim Meyers    |   Monday, 09 February 2009 05:24 PM

Jack Valenti, a top aide to President Lyndon B. Johnson and longtime president of the Motion Picture Association of America, was investigated by the FBI for his relationships with a "top hoodlum."

Documents obtained by Newsmax under the Freedom of Information Act also reveal that Valenti's father and father-in-law were both jailed for embezzlement.

And an unsubstantiated report claimed that Valenti, who died in April 2007 at age 85, had arranged for an abortion for a woman impregnated by LBJ.

An ad executive from Texas and a longtime friend of Johnson, Valenti handled the advertising in his home state during LBJ's 1960 vice presidential campaign.

He was present when Johnson was sworn in as president following the November 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy, and flew with Johnson to Washington, D.C., aboard Air Force One following the ceremony.

Although he held no official title in the White House, FBI documents refer to him most often as a "special consultant" or "special assistant" to the president.

An early document in Valenti's FBI file dates from Dec. 13, 1963, shortly after he joined President Johnson's staff. The White House had requested that the Bureau investigate Valenti's background.

The document mentions an "alleged relationship between Valenti and [name redacted] top hoodlum."

Another document in Valenti's file refers to this individual as a "top hoodlum and leading gambling figure of the Houston area," and says he had been "a friend of long standing" with Valenti.

A document dated Dec. 20, 1963, states that the "top hoodlum" conducted "a lucrative bookmaking operation" and was "employed by [name redacted], who has also been investigated under the Anti-Racketeering Program. [Name redacted] is an extremely wealthy individual who heads [redacted] in Houston, which is a private oil producing company."

Valenti's file reveals that his father, Joe Valenti, was sentenced on Nov. 2, 1937, to two years in prison for felony embezzlement from Harris County, Tex.

Joe Valenti was Deputy Assessor and Collector of Taxes of Harris County, and was charged with pocketing about $175. He served 14 months in jail and was pardoned in 1940.

Jack Valenti wed Mary Wiley, LBJ's longtime secretary, in 1962. A document dated Jan. 2, 1964, discloses that her father George Wiley was charged with embezzling about $40,000 from the Texas bank where he worked as a cashier. He was sentenced to two years in prison in March 1937.

Shortly after Valenti married, he and his wife spent several days at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas, and the hotel bill was "complimentary." The free room was authorized by "a major owner of record of the Tropicana Hotel," an individual identified elsewhere in Valenti's file as a "millionaire lumberman from Alabama."

A curious document in Valenti's extensive file discloses that on Oct. 19, 1964, an FBI agent received a phone call from an "informant" who said the Bureau should investigate Valenti "as a sex pervert," the document states. "He based this request on the fact that he had read in the newspapers that Valenti swims in the nude in the White House pool."

That same month, President Johnson asked the FBI to probe any "derogatory information" concerning his White House associates. The FBI responded with a promise to send a memo regarding "Valenti's association with a homosexual in California and Texas."

This individual was identified as a professional photographer and attended a number of Valenti's parties in Houston.

A memo dated May 28, 1965, cited a "contact" who reported that Valenti "arranged for an abortion for a girl whom the President had made pregnant."

But the FBI determined that the "abortion allegation is not supported in Bureau files."

Several months later, Valenti asked the FBI to check his home phone line, fearing that it might have been tapped. Nothing of the sort was found, an agent told Valenti.

In 1966, Valenti resigned his White House Post, which paid $30,000 a year, and accepted an appointment to be president of the Motion Picture Association of America — a position that reportedly paid $175,000 a year.

In September 1974, the FBI was asked to update Valenti's files because he was "being considered for presidential appointment, position not indicated."

However, Valenti remained with the MPAA for 38 years, retiring in 2004 at age 82. He died three years later.

No brainer obvious: Jack Valenti was an active CIA asset as head of the MPAA

CIA and State Department documents on Jack Valenti

CIA and State Dept Documents on Jack Valenti – Spy Culture

Recently released documents on former White House consultant and MPAA capo Jack Valenti strongly suggest that his appointment as president of the MPAA in some way involved the CIA.  The new documents on Valenti come from the CIA and the State Department.  Though they are tiny fragments in themselves the details they do contain are eye-opening.  Valenti was a State Department consultant with a Top Secret clearance in the early months of taking over at the MPAA.  At the same time the CIA were interested in Valenti ‘in connection with certain sensitive matters’.

The State Department Document on Valenti

Released to The Black Vault under FOIA, the only State Department record on Valenti that they were willing to provide is a 2-page FBI airtel relating to investigations into Valenti done by the State Department’s Office of Security.  This airtel does not appear in the FBI release on Valenti.  It says:

The  files of the Office of Security (SY) Department of State, reviewed by Special Agent (redacted) on October 11, 1974, disclose that on 5/5/66 the appointee was under consideration for appointment as a Consultant to the Secretary of State; SY in May 1966 reviewed his personnel and security files at the White House and utilized a previous full field investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

SY granted him Final Clearance for Top Secret on 5/25/66 as a Consultant, valid for 180 days only, unless appointed in the meantime: SY again granted him Final Clearance for Top Secret on 5/31/67 as a Member of the Board of Foreign Scholarships.

It was announced in April 1966 that Valenti would be leaving his White House position to take up the vacant job as head of the MPAA, so why was he simultaneously being granted a Top Secret security clearance?  Valenti began his new job in June so he was a consultant to the State Department in the early months of his new job at the MPAA.

The CIA Document on Valenti

While this was going on the CIA’s Office of Personnel Security sent a memo to Marvin Watson, a special assistant to President Johnson.  They requested a copy of the FBI’s investigation of Valenti (complete with rumours that he was secretly homosexual and a pervert) on the grounds that:

Subject is of interest to this Division.  He is not being considered for staff employment but rather is of interest in connection with certain sensitive matters in which the Agency is involved.

Naturally, this could mean anything.  But the date is significant – after Valenti’s new job at the MPAA had been announced but before he took up the role.  This cannot be related to his role at the State Department because they had reviewed the FBI’s investigation for themselves.  Given that Valenti’s predecessor Eric Johnston was some kind of CIA asset, was this CIA request made because Valenti was being considered for recruitment by the Agency?  Was this because CIA director Richard Helms planned to approach Valenti, as he subsequently did?  Did they want dirt on Valenti for possible blackmail purposes?

While not conclusive, these new documents add yet more weight to the contention that Valenti was not just friendly to the government but was an active CIA asset in Hollywood.

 

Robert Merritt in Watergate Exposed tells of STILL ANOTHER illegimate child (born late ’68 or early ’69) of Lyndon Johnson

 

There has been a fantastic new book written about Watergate by Robert Merritt and Doug Caddy: "Watergate Exposed: How the President of the United States and the Watergate Burglars Were Set Up As Told to Douglas Caddy, Original Attorney for the Watergate Seven "

 

Here is the link:

 http://www.amazon.com/Watergate-Exposed-President-Burglars-Original/dp/193629611X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1299167812&sr=1-1

 In the book there is the story of STILL ANOTHER illegitimate child (or "out of wedlock" or "bastard" or "love child" ... however you want to term it) of Lyndon Johnson.

 We know about previous illegimate children of Lyndon Johnson:

 1) Steven Mark Brown (1950-1990) born to one of LBJ's longtime fave mistresses Madeleine Duncan Brown.

 2) Courtenay Valenti (born 3 weeks before JFK assassination) born to Mary Margaret Valenti who used to be a key aide to LBJ, in his inner circle. In the case of Courtenay, I am 99% sure she is LBJ's biological daughter - short of a DNA test - because of the way Traphes Bryant writes his book Dog Days at the White House. Bryant's writings give the clear indication of 1) LBJ having sex with Mary Margaret in the White House AFTER she "married" Jack Valenti 2) LBJ's constant referral to Courtenay as his "little heartbeat" and his behavior towards her was like that of an obsessive dad.

 Author Robert Merritt reports on ANOTHER probable LBJ love child. Robert Merritt indicates he had worked at Columbia Hospital for Women in late 1968 to Jan. 1969, when:

 3) "One day the delivery ward had a VIP. . .She was the personal confidential secretary to President Lyndon Johnson.  I do not remember her name, it being too long ago. She had a caesarean section, her body being draped off with a spinal block.  She was laughing and talking to the attending physicians all the while her belly was being opened.  There were all sorts of whispering and rumors flying around the hallways as to who was the father since she was not married." [Merritt, Watergate Exposed]

 This doesn't pertain to the Valentis but may be another incident where still another baby got made as a result of Johnson's inability to keep his zipper zipped (which probably happened in the middle of some dictation ordering another half a million boys to be drafted for "his war"). Can there be even MORE Johnson kids running around that we haven't even heard about?

 Mary Margaret Valenti had a daughter Alexandra Valenti on October 9, 1968 at George Washington Hospital

(Just curious, is this the LBJ secretary that Robert Merritt is referring to?)

 

        “The birth of Alexandra on October 9, 1968, was a day that caused me immense personal guilt. Mary Margaret had gone into George Washington Hospital, but with sufficient forecasts on the part of her doctor that the birth would be several days away. I had to fly to Los Angeles on some urgent Hollywood business, but I felt confident I could complete my meetings and be back on the plane in plenty of time. Alas, when the plane set down in Washington, the airport sound system brayed loudly, “Mr. Valenti, please pick up the airport courtesy phone.” Not too promising, I thought, and I was right. It was the hospital calling, telling me that Mary Margaret had just given birth to a fine healthy girl. I raced to the hospital, seething with the damnable knowledge that I should have stayed home to be present when the child was born. Mary Margaret was so full of mother’s pride that she forgave my absence. At least that’s what she said.”

Jack Valenti, Jack Ruby and Porn? Possible.

 Tom Bowden 1/14/2014 -

 I have recently joined this forum and please forgive me if this subject has been covered. There have been several allegations on the years that Jack Ruby was actively involved in both still and movie porn. 1) Lyle Sardie Video..Linda Grabow claimed as a teenager she was filmed in the Houston area in the presence of Jack Ruby and Jack Valenti. 2) Jim Gatewood in his latest book stated Ruby had a prostitution house, where he filmed porn and which included a film processor. 3) Madelaine Brown and her Doctor Companion had a large library of porn film from the 60's and claimed Ruby was active. I realize most of these sources are questionable but consider the following I attended SMU from 1958-1963. During that time, I met Candy Barr and knew her until her death. She asked me one time to locate the motel where "Smart Alex' was filmed. We narrowed it down to the Landmark but were unable to find room interior shots to verify. We discussed Ruby in that context and she said she was never asked to participate by him but was aware of him doing and selling porn. One of my classmates actively sold still nude photographs, which were sent to New Orleans for publication. His contact said Ruby was involved. In discussion with a Ruby Stripper's daughter she remembered as a five year old child going to a house with her mother where filming was happening. This question is important as it relates to the Babuskha film. If it were a trophy film made for the conspirators, then it would have to be developed some place. Would Jack Ruby have had the assets to do that? Of course this assumes the Beverly Oliver story is not accurate and that Jack Ruby was part of the conspiracy. I am seeking input and I do question if any of the above makes sense.

Lyndon Johnson would insist that his lackeys name their kids after him.

 

Jack Valenti named two: Courtenay Lynda Valenti and John Lyndon Valenti; Cliff Carter’s son Lyndon Carter; Bobby Baker had a son Lyndon Baker and a daughter Lynda Baker, Lyndon Boozer who is the son of LBJ and his secretary Yoland Boozer.

 

Article mentioning John Lyndon Valenti: “Mr. Valenti Stays in Washington, July 14, 1991 “in Johnson’s honor, and their son is named John Lyndon Valenti.

 

LBJ’s grandson is Patrick Lyndon Nugent (born June 21, 1967) and he is the son of Luci. His sister is Nicole Nugent Covert.

 

Robert Caro on Bobby Baker modeling himself after Lyndon Johnson

 

QUOTE

 

He tried, somewhat unsuccessfully because he was shorter and stooped, to stand in Johnson’s commanding attitude, and to walk as he walked; he had better luck talking like Johnson: “His voice seemed to take on a bit of the Johnson twang,” his biographer wrote. He was to name not one but two of his children- Lynda and Lyndon John – after him. Johnson’s response was all that Baker could have wished: “You’re like a son to me, becaue I don’t have a son of my own,” he told him.
