Madeleine Duncan Brown

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Madeleine Duncan Brown (* 1925 in Dallas , Texas ; † 22. June 2002 in Dallas County , Texas) was the author of a book in which she claims that President US from 1948 to 1969 the mistress of B. Johnson Lyndon to have been and having a child with him.

Life

Madeleine Duncan Brown was married to James Glynn Brown, a former US Marine Corps soldier who returned from World War II with a brain injury and was henceforth housed in a closed institution. She herself worked for an advertising agency in Dallas after the war .

She said she first met Johnson at the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas, shortly after he was elected to the United States Senate in 1948 . From the relationship comes their son Stephen Mark Brown (* December 27, 1950, † September 28, 1990), who died early of cancer. Barr McClellan , a lawyer and author , whose law firm worked for the Johnson administration, later confirmed that Johnson was paying child support.

In her memoirs she writes, her relationship with Johnson was an open secret in Texas and that Johnson in the assassination of John F. Kennedy on 22. November 1963 was involved. On the evening of November 21, 1963, she attended a party in honor of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover at Clint Murchison's house . Also present were Haroldson Hunt , Richard Nixon , Hoover's deputy Clyde Tolson , the Mayor of Dallas Earle Cabell , Kennedy's special adviser John J. McCloy , Jack Ruby as well as several Mafia bosses, newspaper and TV reporters. Suddenly Johnson had unexpectedly arrived and immediately disappeared with a small group into Murchison's study. When he came out later with a red head and a bit scared, he greeted her and whispered to her: “After tomorrow those goddamn Kennedys will never embarrass me again — that's no threat — that's a promise.” (After tomorrow, these will be me Never embarrass the goddamn Kennedys again. This is not a threat, this is a promise.)

Madeleine Brown claims to have known Lee Harvey Oswald and to have seen him several times at the Carousel Club nightspot with Jack Ruby before the Kennedy assassination .

On the morning of January 1, 1964, Johnson told her that Kennedy had fallen victim to a conspiracy: "It was Texas oil and those fucking renegade intelligence bastards in Washington." (Those were the oil barons of Texas and those goddamn renegade intelligence bastards in Washington.) Brown thinks the plan to kill Kennedy probably originated at the Democratic Party convention that elected Kennedy - and not Johnson - as a candidate for president on July 14, 1960 . The billionaire Haroldson Hunt told her at the time: "We may have lost a battle but we're going to win a war." (We may have lost a battle, but we will win the war.) According to Brown, the relationship ended in 1969 , four years before Johnson's death.

reception

Brown's statements about the Kennedy assassination were repeated and substantiated several times by Madeleine Brown, for example on June 30, 1997 on the Jeff Davis Show, later in an 80-minute TV interview with journalist Robert Gaylon Ross.

No reputable historian mentions their statements about the Kennedy assassination. Her name is also missing in the "official" Johnson biographies of the renowned authors Robert Dallek and Robert A. Caro .

It was received in the thematic books by the authors William Reymond (1998 and 2005), Barr McClellan (2003) and Roger Stone (2013), all of whom blame Johnson for the Kennedy assassination and cite Brown as a witness. After a television broadcast based on McClellan's book, the broadcaster apologized for the broadcast: the allegations against Johnson were insubstantial.
