For JFK buffs!!


I have not read all of this article, but I think some assassination buffs might find it interesting.

That's a weird theory. The Nazis lost World War II almost twenty years before JFK assumed the Presidency ... and, by the time they finally exited the world's grand stage, I think the world was quite glad to be rid of them.

JFK's assassination is really easy to understand: he was driven into a sniper's nest in a classic "right-hand man coup d'etat." It's only mysterious to Americans because that's the first time that such a thing happened in this country.

I didn't read all of the article because it was just too lengthy.

What I did do was check for any references. All it says is the author is a researcher who has a radio program and nothing about any actual sources.

Gets kind of difficult to take something that long as serious if their point is that these are theories where they have some actual factual basis, but they fail to reference anything.

It pays to remember that a radio man's number-one objective is to sell advertising.

Maybe JFK shouldn't have let the operatives in Cuba die?

In many ways, Jack was very naïve from the start. But he wasn't supposed to become President, anyway. His father, Joe Sr., always planned to install his older brother, Joe Jr., in the White House after both of them completed their obligatory and well-protected military service. But Joe, Jr. was as rash as his father was ... the damned fool had already completed his tour of duty and was scheduled to return home when he volunteered(!) to (I am not kidding ...) pilot what was to be a remote-controlled flying-bomb aircraft. Naturally, the thing blew up, taking Joe, Jr. with it and leaving Joe, Sr. with no one to put into the White House except Jack.

So, he did. But Jack made a lot of enemies, and by then, Joe, Sr. had plenty more enemies of his own. Especially in Texas ... Stories of "Camelot" are fine for the press, but fairly useless in the actual halls of power.

The Kennedy dynasty was pretty much done-for by then. Jack, Jr. couldn't (or wouldn't) even pass his bar exam, and, in the end, managed to get himself killed in the air by rashly flying in instrument conditions and over the ocean without a clue as to what he (and his wife, alas ...) were doing there.

Only Teddy was smart: he stayed in the Senate and generally kept his head down. (Although, mysteriously, he had this strange thing about driving across bridges ...)
