Fo sho, Kennedy lived like a Roman Proconsul.heydaralon wrote: Sun Mar 31, 2019 1:58 pm Probably was a fun dude to party with. Doing speed, booze probably some barbituates. I'll be he was shooting up China white in the Lincoln Bedroom too.
Kennedy not escalating in Vietnam is just some liberal media Democrat Party propaganda fantasy.heydaralon wrote: Sun Mar 31, 2019 2:05 pm Are you of the opinion that Vietnam would have turned out the way it did had he lived? He sent advisors there, and was escalating their presence. Don't know if he'd have sent half a million people there like LBJ did, but I can't see him avoiding the tar baby.
Kennedy was just pissed off because all the CIA's Castro plans blew up in his face.heydaralon wrote: Sun Mar 31, 2019 2:23 pm What would the CIA gain? Didn't LBJ pretty much carry on all of JFK's international policies? He definitely expanded the welfare state, which makes him suck by default, but from the intelligence agency standpoint, he doesn't seem too different to me...
It was a good episode and yea they were for sure eager to point out the jewish connection. BUT I would argue most Americans do not see that connection or the obvious Wasp/"legit" government involvement/corruption angle either. Most people if they think about it at all likely think that its just a few rotten apples. NO. Corruption is the norm.heydaralon wrote: Sun Mar 31, 2019 2:18 pm Those myth guys were so eager to point out the jews in that ep. I didn't think it was even some hidden story of American history. Arnold Rothstein, Meyer Lansky, Murder Inc, Siegel etc were all household names and are still well known today. And of course, when the mafia does some corrupt stuff involving unions, politics, or business, there is a non mafia guy helping them who is also involved. I liked the episode, but its not some big secret that Jewish people have done corrupt stuff, or that the mafia influenced non mafia people. That's kind of the point of it. You latch on to some big entity and skim money from it.
