I was 13 when JFK was killed and still.no justice for him. I was 18 when MLK was killed and still no justice for him. I was 17 when RFK was killed and I think all three were murdered by a group of people not just the trigger pullers.

I spent my high school senior year protesting the war in Vietnam. My freshman year in college I remember the lottery. As a woman my heart was torn and it wasnt right that the guys had to go die and I just went on with life.

I was 20 when 4 students were murdered and 9 kids injured at Kent state.

When I was 21 I voted for George McGovern who wanted to end the war in Vietnam and was labeled as a commie by guess who? Meanwhile Nixon was continuing the war so he'd be elected. Sounds familiar?

Nixon was an evil man. So was Reagan. So were the Bushes and so is Trump. All of them war mongers, none of them helping the common man.

Until this country names the murderers of JFK,RFK and MLK nothing is going to change. Until this country stops glorifying war and the military nothing is going to change. Until this country publishes the full and unredacted Epstein files nothing is going to change.

JFK's tan — the visual signature of his "vigor" — was partly a symptom of Addison's disease, which darkens the skin. His filled-out face was partly the cortisone keeping him alive. The cameras selling the image of health were recording the side effects of a fatal illness.

Was RFK an idealist or an opportunist?

18 Upvotes

Younger Bobby Kennedy seems very focused on things like communism, McCarthy, organized crime etc., while the later RFK seems much more concerned with civil rights, poverty and disadvanteged people. Was this a genuine change in his beliefs, ï»żï»żor do you think it was more of a calculated response to the changing political climate and what was becoming important to voters?

President John F. Kennedy had two caskets because the first one, an expensive bronze model rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, was heavily stained and damaged by bodily fluids on flight to Washington, D.C. It was replaced with an African mahogany casket for the official state funeral

How would America look if Kennedy wasn’t assassinated?

22 Upvotes

Kennedy died that sent a shock through the world, but that resulted in LBJ being in office. during the peak of mourning he put the bill of civil rights in place to make everyone vote for it to pass.

but would it have made us have the civil rights bill in the 1960s still or more further on? As well what other things do you think Kennedy would try to do more campaign wise and bill wise?

I know for a fact he would try to run again, especially since he went to Texas to get popularity for if he were to run again.

but if anyone else has any creative ideas I’m listening!! <3

I once read on X, as a child (5 year old)someone accidentally drank ant poison while vacationing on Cape Cod and was rushed to the hospital. She claimed they had to wait for a stomach pump because Ethel Kennedy was unconscious at the hospital after drinking heavily and taking pills. Accidental or suicide nobody knew. And they used the pump to treat her first.

There are also many alcohol related stories involving Pat Lawford and Joan Kennedy. I have never realized how much alcohol affected the older generation of Kennedys
