According to Jewish law, if a person’s mother is Jewish, then that person is automatically Jewish, regardless of the father’s ethnicity or religion. The facts indicate that both of Lyndon Johnson’s great-grandparents, on the maternal side, were Jewish . These were the grandparents of Lyndon’s mother, Rebecca Baines. Their names were John S. Huffman and Mary Elizabeth Perrin. John Huffman’s mother was Suzanne Ament, a common Jewish name. Perrin is also a common Jewish name.
Mother: Rebekah Baines (married Sam Johnson, Lyndon’s father)
Maternal grandparents: Ruth Ament Huffman and Joseph Baines
Maternal great–grandparents (parents of Ruth Huffman): Mary Elizabeth Perrin and John S. Huffman, III
Lyndon Johnson’s wife, Claudia Alta Taylor Johnson (aka, “Lady Bird”) is apparently a Sephardic Jew of Mexican origin. Although her facial features are consistent with Semitic origin, that alone is not definitive proof. Claudia’s mother, Minnie Lee Pattillo, was likely a Sephardic Jew from Mexico. Pattillo is a common Spanish/Mexican name
His aunt Jessie Johnson Hatcher , a major influence on LBJ, was a member of the Zionist Organization of America. According to Gomolak, Aunt Jessie had nurtured LBJ’s commitment to befriending Jews for 50 years. As young boy, Lyndon watched his politically active grandfather “Big Sam” and father “Little Sam” seek clemency for Leo Frank , the Jewish victim of a blood libel in Atlanta(or the Jew pedophile murderer) depending on how you view it . Frank was lynched by a mob in 1915, and the Ku Klux Klan in Texas threatened to kill the Johnsons . ( The fact that the KKK didnt touch a hair of the Johnsons says more about the KKK then it does the Johnsons )
Abe Fortas was born the youngest of five children to Orthodox Jewish immigrants Woolfe Fortas and Rachel “Ray” Berzansky Fortas in Memphis, Tennessee.Woolfe was born in Russia, and Rachel was born in Lithuania. Woolfe was a cabinetmaker, and the couple operated a store together.Fortas often felt like an outsider to the mostly Protestant city
Fortas attended Yale, graduated cum laude and second in the class of 1933 according to the Jewish Virtual Library . Organized Jewish life at Yale began in 1913, when the Yale chapter of the Menorah Society (a chapter of the Intercollegiate Menorah Association) was founded. Other short-lived Jewish societies existed at Yale in the same era. Jewish fraternities Pi Lambda Phi and Sigma Alpha Mu arose by 1917.Thats probably why an orthodox Jew chose Yale over other colleges
Shortly thereafter, Douglas took on a series of regulatory government positions, including with the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in Washington, D.C In 1935, Fortas married Carolyn E. Agger, who became a successful tax lawyer
Abe Fortas co founded the law firm / PR agency Arnold and Porter (APCO) and his wife was partner from 1960 till her death President Bidens granddaughter Naomi Biden joined the Washington DC-based law firm Arnold & Porter in January 2021 — the same month Joe Biden was sworn in as the nation’s 46th president.Naomi worked as a lawyer on behalf of the government of Peru around the same time she was living at the White House with her granddad, President Joe Biden, a review of public records show
APCO helped the current Indian Prime Minister Modi by “marketing him to the world” besides having close ties with Israeli internal security agency Shin Bet
Fortas initially opposed the creation of a presidential commission to investigate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. When it became clear that multiple investigations were gearing up simultaneously at the city, state, and federal levels, Fortas changed his mind and advised Johnson to establish the Warren Commission.
The book Final Judgment: The Missing Link in the JFK Assassination Conspiracy by Micharel Collins Piper demonstrates the strong likelihood Israel’s intelligence service, the Mossad, collaborated alongside the CIA and the Meyer Lansky Crime Syndicate in the JFK assassination because President Kennedy was working to prevent Israel from acquiring nuclear weapons of mass destruction, a fact that remained a dark secret for decades.
On July 28, 1965, President Johnson nominated Fortas as an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, to succeed Arthur Goldberg, who had resigned to become the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations following the death of Adlai Stevenson.
On June 26, 1968, Johnson nominated Fortas as Chief Justice of the United States,to succeed Earl Warren, who had submitted his resignation effective with the confirmation of a successor. The propriety of the coordinated resignation-nomination on the eve of the November presidential election was called into question by Republican candidate Richard Nixon and the media The Senate refused confirmation and Fortas remained as a Supreme Court Judge
In 1969, a new scandal arose. Fortas had accepted a US$20,000 (equivalent to $160,000 in 2022) retainer from the family foundation of Wall Street financier Louis Wolfson,a friend and former client, in January 1966. In return for unspecified advice, it was to pay Fortas $20,000 a year for the rest of Fortas’s life (and then pay his widow for the rest of her life)
Fortas resigned from the Supreme Court in 1969
Wolfson spent nine months at a federal minimum-security prison in Florida.
The child of Jewish immigrants from Lithuania, Wolfson and his seven siblings grew up in Jacksonville, where his father was a junk man/scrap metal dealer
He started the Florida Pipe and Supply Company to trade in building materials. Within a few years, he built this into a successful large business and was a millionaire at age 28.
In 1949, Wolfson purchased the Capital Transit Company from the North American Company for $2 million. Capital Transit held the streetcar and bus service franchise for Washington, D.C.; it had been managed conservatively and beyond its physical assets had a $7 million cash reserve. When the company disbursed $3 million in dividends to shareholders, the government revoked Capital Transit’s right to operate, and Wolfson sold his shares for $13.5 millio A 1951 takeover of Merritt-Chapman & Scott made Wolfson Chairman and CEO of the marine construction and salvage firm, but Wolfson expanded the company into shipbuilding, chemicals, and money lending, becoming one of the first conglomerates. The corporation won numerous multimillion-dollar contracts for high-profile projects (given his skills in bribery and his background one can only guess how Wolfson and his company got those contracts )
Wolfson was under investigation for securities violations at the time, and it was alleged that he expected that his arrangement with Fortas would help him stave off criminal charges or help him secure a presidential pardon. He asked Fortas to help him secure a pardon from Johnson, which Fortas claimed that he did not do. Fortas recused himself from Wolfson’s case when it came before the Court.
Louis E. Wolfson secretly recorded a two-hour conversation with Abe Fortas in 1970 – nine months after disclosure of a $20,000 payment by Wolfson to Fortas had resulted in Fortas’ resignation from the Supreme Court.
According to the transcript, at one point Fortas agreed to intervene directly with the SEC chairman on the case
Louis E. Wolfson secretly recorded a two-hour conversation with Abe Fortas in 1970 – nine months after disclosure of a $20,000 payment by Wolfson to Fortas had resulted in Fortas’ resignation from the Supreme Court.
A 34-page transcript of the Fortas-Wolfson conversation adds substantial new detail to the Fortas affair and shows that Fortas, while a member of the high court, was very heavily involved in advising Wolfson on legal difficulties he had with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
According to the transcript, at one point Fortas agreed to intervene directly with the SEC chairman on the case, though the transcript obtained by The Washington Post indicates that Fortas did not follow through on the agreement.
“It would have been like lighting a fuse on our own dynamite,” Fortas said.
At another point in the conversation, Fortas, speaking of a letter he had sent when Wolfson went to prison, correspondence they had agreed to keep private, exclaimed to the financier:”. . . I worded it very carefully and discreetly – I had to write you. My heart was full of grief and affection . . . all in my heart – I’d give anything to protect Lou Wolfson.”
Fortas had agreed to accept the $20,000 payment at a meeting in which Wolfson told him for the first time that his difficulties with the SEC were serious, according to the transcript.In addition, Fortas persuaded Wolfson not to release 11 pages of correspondence between the two, including letters about the SEC case and a letter in which Wolfson sought Fortas assistance in obtaining a presidential pardon.
At the time of the Fortas controversy in 1969, Fortas denied involvement in Wolfson’s affairs. In a letter of Life magazine, which broke the story of the $20,000 payment, Fortas said that while he was a member of the court he did not “participate in any of Mr. Wolfson’s business or legal affairs.”
Fortas, who had been a longtime confidant of Lyndon B. Johnson, was hired as a lawyer by Wolfson in June, 1965. The next month President Johnson nominated Fortas to the Supreme Court. In October, 1965, he was sworn in and soon thereafter accepted the $20,000-a-year post with the Wolfson foundation. The annual retainer was to be paid to Fortas’ wife if he died.
After reading some of the transcript, Fortas said “it could be” correct.
The Fortas-Wolfson correspondence has never been made public. Reports at the time of Fortas’ resignation said that then-Attorney General John N. Mitchell had personally locked it in his own safe.
The transcript shows that Fortas was worried about bad publicity and he successfully persuaded Wolfson not to release the correspondence.
At Fortas’ suggestion, the two men removed pages 98 through 108 from a booklet Wolfson had prepared to release at his press conference. A booklet was released with other material but did not contain the letters.
Fortas then said the Nixon administration was plotting to get him off the court because Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.) had been promised that he could designate a replacement for Fortas on the high court.(President Nixon later did nominate Clement F. Haynsworth Jr., a federal judge from South Carolina to fill the vacancy but the Senate rejected the nomination.)
Wolfson went on to discuss a letter he wrote Fortas just before going to prison:
“That was the only time I ever asked you for one thing – in April I wrote you a letter – of 1969. You recall? I think April 16 and I said, ‘Abe, I want you to do something for me,’ if you recall. I said, ‘I cannot go to prison right now; if you could do anything to get me a presidential pardon – have President Johnson call Mr. Nixon.’ That is the only thing I have ever asked you to do for me.”
The (In)Justice Department never obtained this 1969 letter because correspondence between the two men was subpoenaed only for the years 1964 to 1968.
