JFK & his brother Bobby brought the calamity upon themselves. You really need to read up on their atrocious conduct as President & AG. They were totally out of their depths and both lacked the dignity necessary to occupy their respective positions. You ever wonder why 2 brothers in very powerful positions were assassinated within 5 years of one another? Who did they offend and what was that offense? Research, read, & learn.

[@salvation4all313]

@Phantom X... Oh yeah he was definitely "something else" alright, but NOT in a good way! While President, Kennedy had sex with dozens of women, including strangers whom aides would procure for him. His biographer, Geoffrey Perret, wrote that JFK “brazenly put his hand up their skirts, propositioned them within minutes of meeting and groped their breasts and buttocks even as he danced with them.” All those actions while being married to Jackie. Disgraceful!

Grace, humor, intelligence, and a humanity that we so lack today in our public discourse. He was a flawed man, as we are all flawed, but he was unquestionably one of the greatest orators we have ever had as President. He assumed our intelligence and decency. It is heartbreaking to know, after all the kind jokes about "protecting" him from the rain and rattlesnakes, what his fate would be just a short time after this. It is, as he once said about life, "unfair."

Except for that strong feeling of being needed, she might have done away with herself. She only married Onassis because of security concerns, not for money although she knew that would also be given. But security was of first importance after suffering one of the worst ways imaginable to lose her marriage. From a vicious coup d'etat and the war hawks, who have stayed in power since, with one exception: DJT. Which is why he also was so violently and hatefully detested by the war hawk establishment in the District of Criminals/Corruption.

Well, then they'd still get him in another venue. See, that's the theoretical paradox of time travel, you can only change how something that has already happened, but not prevent it. When you view the films of Kennedy in his travels he was always in that Lincoln continental convertible. They actually could've gotten him at any time. I believe if he just had two men on that rear bumper holding on to those handles on the trunk, it may have been enough to thwart at least that attempt to assassinate the man, but then again, maybe not. But the fact that his protection was in another vehicle is questionable to me. You'll never see a U. S. President in a convertible while in a slow moving motorcade ever again.

This is heartbreaking, seeing Gov Connally, VP Johnson, Jackie Kennedy and the president being introduced at that breakfast in the old Texas Hotel, which has had a few renovations and reincarnations since 1963. I stayed there in 1984 when it was known as Hyatt Regency Fort Worth and attended a conference in the very ballroom shown in this video. Recently I visited Fort Worth Water Garden (built in 1974 as part of downtown urban renewal) with a young friend, pointing out to her the hotel the president stayed at across the street and explained that dark day in our history. We paused in silent prayer. It makes me wonder, 57 years later, who in that room knew something about what would occur just 3 hours later in Dallas.

I was 6, in 2nd grade, and my parents were conservative Democrats. I was allowed to stay at home from School in order to watch the local coverage of this BIG, BIG EVENT for Fort Worth. My parents sat about 12 feet from the Head table, but the quality of the film doesn't allow me to find them unfortunately. If anyone has any better version, more definition, it would be great if you could post them. Thank you Helmer Reenberg for posting this. I'm now the age of the year he was shot, 63. So many years, yet Oswald did NOT have a part in this. He was on the payroll of both the FBI & CIA--he had the 310 file (I believe is the number of the file if you have an association with them). It took a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit, to get this fact out.......unfortunately, much was redacted in all the released files........HAD it been simple: A man in a building shooting a man in a car---why 50+ years of lawsuits to get at who shot our President? Why the many blacked-out pages if it's so cut and dried? All a farce, like "Russia Collusion," "Ukraine phone call," "Kavanaugh's accuser," etc. etc. etc. All the same cabal.

As just one example, why, if there was no conspiracy, did the Secret Service agents act so unprofessionally and with such hostility towards Dr. Earl Rose and the local officials and law enforcement officers as they disregarded applicable law when they forcibly removed the body from Parkland, even unholstering their weapons and threatening to run Dr. Rose over with the casket?
