Madeleine Duncan Brown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Madeleine Duncan Brown (July 5, 1925 – June 22, 2002) was the alleged mistress of United States President Lyndon B. Johnson for more than two decades. She also claimed to have borne a son, Steven Mark Brown, fathered by Johnson. Steven Mark Brown was born 27 December 1950 and died 28 September 1990.

She claimed that the night before the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Johnson said: "After tomorrow those SOB's will never embarrass me again". Brown also claimed to see Lee Harvey Oswald with Jack Ruby in the latter's Carousel Club prior to the assassination. (This claim severely undermines her credibility on the subject of assassination). She also said that LBJ confirmed the conspiracy to kill Kennedy on New Years Eve ('63-'64).

Brown said that the plan to kill the President had its origins in the 1960 Democratic Convention, at which John F. Kennedy was nominated presidential candidate with Johnson as his running mate, where H.L. Hunt, an American oil tycoon, and Lyndon Johnson hatched the assassination plot.

When they met in California Joe Kennedy, John Kennedy's father, and H.L. Hunt met three days prior to the election - they finally cut a deal according to John Currington (an aide to H.L. Hunt) and H.L. finally agreed that Lyndon would go as the vice president... this came from the horse's mouth way back in 1960 - when H.L. came back to Dallas I was walking... with him... and he made the remark, 'We may have lost a battle but we're going to win a war,' and then the day of the assassination he said 'Well, we won the war', said Brown.

Madeleine Brown died on June 22, 2002. Social Security Records show the spelling of her name as Madeline F. Brown, and that she died in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas.
