- Angie
Dickinson commenting on JFK’s brutal lovemaking style called it “the best 20
seconds of my life.”
- Jackie said JFK was a flop as a lover. She told a friend he "just goes too fast and falls asleep" as reported in the book GRACE AND POWER by Sally Smith.
- During
WWII JFK was a security risk at the Pentagon for his well-known affair with
Nazi spy Ingrid Arvad.
- In
1951 Kennedy had to pay off Alicia Purdom wife of a British actor half a
million dollars after making her pregnant and then reneging on his promise to
marry her.
- In
1956 Kennedy did Joan Lundberg who says he loved threesomes and was a voyeur.
He paid for her abortion and slept with her in Jackie’s marriage bed.
- 90
minutes before the first televised debate with Nixon, JFK was with a
call-girl. (Reeves p 202) He also had a call-girl inauguration night. The
night before the inauguration, he cheated on his wife in their Georgetown
house.
- JFK
kept an apartment at the Carroll Arms in Washington where he met young women.
After a year of marriage a friend said of Jackie, "Jackie was wandering around
looking like a survivor of an airplane crash." (Reeves p 116)
- JFK
did Mary Pinchot Meyer in about thirty White House visits from Jan '62 to Nov
'63. She was mysteriously murdered in 1964 and her diary of their affair ended
up at the CIA. Mary and JFK did drugs together.
- JFK
did David Niven's wife.
- JFK
did Pamela Turnure, 23, a Jackie look-a-like, hired as Jackie's press
secretary, in an affair that went on three years in the White House.
- JFK
did Fiddle and Faddle, Secret Service code names for 21 and 23 year old staff
members hired mostly for sex. JFK tested dangerous drugs on them without their
knowledge by putting drugs in their drinks.
- White House intern Marion "Mimi" Beardsley whose married name is Fahnestock was 19 when JFK raped her (statutory rape - the age of consent was 21 in DC at the time). A powerful older man preying on vulnerable young women is what sexual harassment is all about.
- JFK
got shots of speed from Dr. Max Jacobson, a.k.a. Dr. Feelgood.
- JFK
had a penchant for swimming nude with his female guests at wild pool parties.
- JFK
& a British female tennis star had a lengthy relationship.
- BIGAMIST
- JFK married socialite Durie Malcolm in Palm Springs in early 1947 and then a
few days later had his friend Charles Spalding steal the marriage certificate
from the Court House.
- JFK
reportedly had an illegitimate child in the late 50s by prostitute Alicia Darr
Clark who later tried to blackmail him.
- JFK
did Judith Campbell Exner, mob moll, who had some twenty visits starting in
May 1961. Exner carried cash bribes to JFK from California defense
contractors. When she called JFK and told him that he had made her pregnant,
he asked, "What are you going to do about it?" She had an abortion at a
Chicago hospital in January 1963. She was never invited back to the White
House. Her lover, mob boss Sam Giancana, bragged that he had 'placed' her with
the President. Interestingly, both Giancana and another of her mob lovers,
Roselli, were given the C.I.A. contract to kill Castro.
- JFK
did Ellen Rometsch, an East German spy. When the Profumo affair (a sex scandal
with a German spy) was blowing apart the British government, the Kennedys paid
her off and had her deported. They abused both the FBI and Congress (by
threatening Congressmen with information from their FBI files) to keep this
liaison out of the press and the timing strongly suggests that the
assassination of South Vietnam's Diem was used to divert press attention from
JFK's connection to Rometsch. Kennedy also had had sex both in London and New
York with prostitute Suzy Chang who was at the heart of the Profumo affair.
Bobby had a hard time covering this up.
- When
the Secret Service was asked by local officials in Seattle if Kennedy always
had prostitutes brought to him, they answered, "We travel during the day, so
this only happens at night." Truckloads of prostitutes were brought to the
Whitehouse and admitted without security checks. When JFK inspected military
bases, he expected to be supplied with women.
- JFK
used Peter Lawford's home in Santa Monica for meeting women.
- JFK
kept a large collection of photos of himself with naked women.
- When
President, Kennedy blackmailed starlets into servicing him or have their
careers destroyed.
- JFK
suffered from permanent venereal disease because he had been re-infected so
often. He infected his partners with a disease so serious that it causes 35
percent of all infertility in US women.
- Marilyn
Monroe told a columnist that JFK would not indulge in foreplay because he
lacked the time. They had a one-year affair. Bobby Kennedy also did her and
she even aborted his baby which, if she told, would have destroyed his career.
The day Monroe died, neighbors saw Robert F. Kennedy and "a man with a
doctor's bag" together enter her house. Within four hours she was found dead.
Monroe was killed with a barbiturate suppository, but a bottle of oral pills
was left at the scene to make it look like a possible suicide. U.S. Attorney
General Kennedy was never questioned about his role and his cousin actor Peter
Lawford who "cleaned up" the murder scene never explained what happened to
Marilyn's incriminating diary. The Kennedys were banned from the funeral.
The best source for Marilyn's
murder is The Life and Curious Death of Marilyn Monroe, NY:Pinnacle
House 1974, by her former husband Robert F. Slatzer.
JFK is quoted by Traphes Bryant as saying to a friend, "I'm not through with
a girl till I've had her three ways." (Reeves p 241)
During a 1961 meeting in Bermuda with British Prime Minister Harold McMillian
Kennedy said, "I wonder how it is with you, Harold? If I don't have a woman for
three days, I get terrible headaches." There is a much more vulgar Kennedy quote
along the same line in Hersh page 389.
JFK's PUBLIC RECORD
- JFK
graduated 64th in his high school class of 112.
- As
a student his mind was undisciplined and according to his college tutorial
record "will probably never be very original."
- The
book Why England Slept attributed to JFK was written by Blair Clark
and Arthur Krock. Harold Laski said of it "it is very immature, it has no
structure, and dwells almost entirely on the surface of things."
- As
a WWII commander of a patrol boat PT-109 off Western Australia, he managed
through simply unbelievable incompetence to get it run over by a Japanese
destroyer. He then fabricated a story. His men called him “Shafty” and
complained he spent more time chasing women than Japanese.
- 1946
House of Representatives race, his father spent $300,000 on his campaign in
violation of law. JFK reported to the Massachusetts Secretary of State that
there were no campaign contributions or expenditures.
- 1952
Senate seat was won by skullduggery (Reeves p 106).
- Johnson
on JFK, "He never said a word of importance in the Senate and never did a
thing." JFK promised Senator Stuart Symington that he was the 1960 VP choice,
but then had a mysterious meeting with LBJ and Sam Rayburn at which Johnson
blackmailed him with dirt given him by FBI Director Hoover.
- Profiles
in Courage was written by Sorenson and Davids. JFK "served principally as
an overseer or, more charitably, as a sponsor and editor, one whose final
approval was as important for its publication as its birth." (Reeves p 127)
JFK claimed unequivocally to be its author and its authorship was always a
sore point with him. Joe Kennedy bought up copies to make it a best seller.
Although this book was not nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, Joe Kennedy bought
the prize for the book. (Reeves p 142)
- 1956
after the stillbirth of his child, JFK was with a boatload of females in the
Mediterranean and said "Why should I go back? What good would it do?"
- 1960
JFK stole the election which he had officially won by a mere 119,450 votes.
Illinois State's Attorney Benjamin S. Adamowski charged on December 1 that the
Chicago Democratic machine had stolen at least 100,000 votes. More than 10
percent of Chicagoans were left off polling lists, absentee ballots were not
counted and there were many apparent erasures on the paper ballots. In Texas
tens of thousands of ballots disappeared and The New York Herald
Tribune reported that 100,000 votes tallied for Kennedy-Johnson never
existed in the first place. They won Texas by 46,000 votes.
- One
of the reasons the mafia was so upset with Kennedy is that they had spent a
lot of money and influence, especially in Chicago, to get him elected and then
he and Bobby Kennedy turned on them. Particularly Jimmy Hoffa and the Chicago
and Louisiana families were upset. Giancana told Judith Campbell Exner,
"Listen, honey, if it wasn't for me, your boyfriend wouldn't even be in the
White House." JFK had sent 250,000 dollars with Exner to Giancana for the mob
to get out the union vote and make corrupt unions contribute to JFK's
campaign.
- It
is likely that General Dynamics blackmailed JFK to give them the TFX fighter
contract (Boeing had the better plane), 6.5 billion dollars, the largest in
history to that point, after bugging Exner's apartment.
- JFK's
first priority as President was the assassination of Prime Minister Lumumba of
the Congo and Trujillo of the Dominican Republic.
- JFK
was reluctant on Civil Rights, the major issue of the day. (Reeves p 416) JFK
made campaign promises to blacks that he did not keep which led to riots.
Akhil Reed Amar of Yale Law School faults JFK for appeasing Southern Democrats
by stocking the lower federal bench with "notorious segregationists." RFK
ordered extensive electronic surveillance of Martin Luther King admittedly
"investigating the love life of a group leader for dissemination in the
press."
- In
the 1960 election, JFK concealed his Addison's disease and even stated flatly
to the press "I have never had Addison's disease." That was a lie, of course.
LBJ said Kennedy looked like "a spavined hunchback." The records show that
Kennedy took codeine, Demerol and methadone for pain; Ritalin, a stimulant;
meprobamate and librium for anxiety; barbiturates for sleep; thyroid hormone;
and injections of a blood derivative, gamma globulin, to combat infections.
During the missile crisis, Kennedy was taking antispasmodics to control
colitis; antibiotics for a urinary tract infection; and increased amounts of
hydrocortisone and testosterone to control his adrenal insufficiency. For much
of his life, Kennedy also suffered from severe and potentially dangerous bouts
of diarrhea. Kennedy took anti-diarrheal drugs like Lomotil for relief. He
also had high blood cholesterol, often in the range of 300, once at 410, which
is twice the level now considered desirable. He had a tremendous proclivity
for infections. Kennedy received "seven to eight injections of procaine in his
back in the same sitting" before news conferences and other events, according
to Dr. Kelman. Kennedy had developed osteoporosis by the 1930s and probably in
his childhood. X-rays show spinal fractures and metal screws in the vertebrae
unrelated to PT-109 injuries.
- Berlin
Wall - JFK pursued a risky confrontation (Reeves P 417). Later Kennedy at
Berlin said "Ich bin ein Berliner." That literally means: "I am a jelly roll."
If he meant to say he was a resident of Berlin (a lie), he should have left
off the word 'ein'. (cf. a hamburger or a frankfurter refer also to food)
- 1961,
May 25th, JFK, without consulting anyone, announced a race to the moon. Later
he suggested to the UN not a race but a co-operative effort with the Soviets.
His cost estimates were way off and critics pointed out that this was a
misallocation of resources - that the government could not continue to spend
huge sums on projects of marginal or doubtful value. The New York
Times editorialized in March 1967 "We fail to see that it makes any great
difference who reaches the moon first or whether the landing takes place in
the 1960's or mid-1970's...The moon is not going away."
- JFK
used the FBI to his personal advantage and to silence press critics.
- ENEMIES
LIST! Nixon was impeached primarily for misusing the IRS. In early 1961 JFK
planted family friend Carmine Bellino in the IRS with the title "special
consultant to the president "and demanded that he have access to tax returns.
They turned the IRS into a lending library. Quoting from the Wall Street
Journal of January 28, 1997: "the Kennedys were far worse than Nixon in their
manipulation of the IRS...The documents show that the Kennedys targeted
non-exempt activist groups. And the auditing was done at the behest of
politicians, not the professionals at the IRS...On December 20, 1961, Rogovin
forwarded to Dean J. Barron, the IRS audit director at the time, a list of 18
organizations to investigate." Scores were targeted later including: Daughters
of the American Revolution, the Americans Veterans Committee, the Conservative
Society of America, Americans for Constitutional Government, All-American
Society, the Conservatives, the Christian Crusade, Life-Line Foundation,
Christian Echoes Ministry, the National Education Program of Harding College,
the Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai B'rith, the Freeman Charitable
Foundation, and the Christian Anti-Communist Crusade. Many of these groups had
their tax-exempt status revoked. The Kennedys also targeted corporate
taxpayers and at one point had a plan to target up to 10,000 groups.
- The
Peace Corps was paid voluntarism for unskilled do-gooders.
- Bay
of Pigs, Cuba, April 15, 1961 - JFK interfered with the military operation
both in planning and execution to make it worse; did not keep commitments he
had made, especially for airstrikes; made public statements that the US would
not support insurrection in Cuba which discouraged resistance to Castro,
blamed others for its failure and lied to the public about it. JFK weakened
the original plan to make it virtually certain to fail (both of the original
CIA planners Esterline and Hawkins threatened to resign over the changes). JFK
was directly told by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Lemnitzer that the
invasion "would have very little chance of success." The Joint Chiefs in a
memorandum of January 27, 1961 wrote "The current Political-Para-Military Plan
does not assure the accomplishment of the above objective nor has there been
detailed follow-up planning to exploit that plan if it succeeds or for any
direct action that might be required if the plan is found to be inadequate."
JFK went ahead with the plan, according to Arthur Schlesinger, to impress
Eisenhower and Kruschev. RFK led the cover-up to protect the president with a
shield of lies that he had received bad advice and really didn't know much
about it. Esterline says now "What I find so unacceptable is how cavalier they
(the Kennedys) were in taking nearly 2,000 people and putting them out as
animal bait." Four Americans and 114 CIA-trained Cubans were killed and 1,189
were captured.
- Cuban
Missile Crisis - JFK brought the world to the brink of nuclear holocaust by
pursuing a game of nuclear chicken that defines him as the riskiest president
in history. Dean Acheson said JFK was "phenomenally lucky." We were too. JFK
forced the public confrontation for political reasons and humiliated Kruschev,
the man he had to deal with. JFK backed down on inspection for compliance and
lied to the public about the resolution of the crisis, denying that we had
agreed to withdraw vital U.S. installations from Turkey in exchange for the
removal of Soviet missiles from Cuba - a deal which was political poison. On
October 22, 1963, JFK wrote his staff in a hand-written note "Is there a plan
to brief and brainwash key press within 12 hours or so?" By being dishonest
with the American people, JFK gave the Soviets, who had the facts, the power
to destroy his Presidency and thereby unduly influence him. Also the timing
was dishonest, he had known about the missiles since August 22 when informed
by CIA Director McCone. He announced it on October 22nd to influence
Congressional elections in favor of Democrats - the classic "October
surprise." There is evidence that the Russians never removed their missiles,
but at best the end result - status quo ante minus US missiles in Turkey - was
clearly worse for the US. JFK's handling of the crisis to the point of our
nuclear annihilation was the most irresponsible act of any president in
history. His body was on speed and his mind was on sex at the height of the
crises – he asked McNamara about an attractive Pentagon secretary, “I want her
name and number. We may avert war tonight.”
- New
terrorism - JFK ordered the CIA (100 million dollar Operation Mongoose) to
sabotage the Cuban economy and assassinate Fidel Castro, showing an
irresponsibility and lack of judgment bordering on dereliction. The CIA
offered a 150,000 dollar open contract on Castro. Samuel Halpern, the CIA
executive in charge of Task Force W whose sole purpose was to assassinate
Castro, wrote that the Kennedys were obsessed about wanting Castro dead "for
personal reasons - because the family name was besmirched by the Bay of Pigs."
Even up to his death, JFK was directing an effort to manufacture pretexts to
invade Cuba. These efforts may have precipitated the Cuban missile crises.
- November
1, 1963 JFK instigated a plot to overthrow and kill South Vietnam's Premiere
Diem. JFK played politics with American lives in Vietnam, he put his election
ahead of American lives. He feared that Diem, who was negotiating with the
North, would force Americans out before the 1964 elections. Voice of America
broadcasts called for the coup, JFK had cut off pay to the Palace Guard and
American advisors were attached to almost every unit that attacked the
Presidential Palace. The Viet Cong made huge advances in the resulting
confusion. JFK had asked Air Force General Edward Landsdale, an ex-CIA man, to
go to Saigon and help "get rid" of Diem (he refused). Lt. Col. Lucien Conein
was used instead. The fundamental planning document was the August 30, 1963,
memo to Secretary of State Dean Rusk from Roger Hilsman, Assistant Sec. State
for Far Eastern Affairs. It said among other things, "We should encourage the
coup group to destroy the palace if necessary to gain victory..." and in point
10 it ordered the death of Diem. In 1961 when JFK took office there were 685
US military advisors in Vietnam and in 1963 there were 16,732 (including
combat troops) in violation of the 1954 Geneva Conventions and aid had gone up
to $400 million per year. Kennedy said "now we have a problem in trying to
make our power credible, and Vietnam looks like the place."
- In
the Summer of 1963, the US had 200 Atlas, Titan and Minuteman missiles, over
100 Polaris missiles and about 1700 nuclear bombers. Russia had about 50
ICBM's and 200 long-range bombers. Our megatonnage was 10 to 1. JFK decided to
give away our advantage, hold back our nuclear forces and allow the Russians
to catch up on the theory that this would create an equal balance of terror
and work for world peace. Kennedy's idea, which turned out to be false, was
that if the Soviets caught up that they would then stop their military
buildup. This was probably the single most dangerous mistake Kennedy made.
- Kennedy,
like Clinton after him, slipped away from his security detail for trysts
leaving the army officer with the nuclear football behind. If there had been a
surprise nuclear attack against the US, we would have been defenseless.
THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION
On a political trip to Dallas November 22, 1963, JFK was
killed by a mafia conspiracy. Carlos Marcello, the mob chief of New Orleans who
also controlled Texas, vowed revenge when RFK had him deported and dropped in a
Guatamala jungle. In 1962 Marcello was quoted as saying in reference to the
Kennedys: "The dog will keep biting you if you only cut off its tail. You must
cut off the dog's head." He also said one could get away with it if one found "a
nut to take the blame." Oswald worked in New Orleans from April to October 1963.
He was a close associate of one of Marcello's top aides, a man named David
Ferrie. Oswald was also the nephew of Dutz Murret, another Marcello
associate, who set Oswald up in New Orleans (the mafia trusts family). A third
Marcello associate arranged bail when Oswald was arrested in August for a street
disturbance. Three weeks before the assassination, Jack Ruby, a small-time
mobster, called Nofio Pecora, Marcello's chief aide. Ruby, who had suddenly come
into a great deal of cash on November 22, 1963, said later that he was "framed
into killing Oswald." After the hit on Kennedy, Marcello let it be widely known
throughout the mob world that he had done the hit. He told Jimmy Hoffa through a
mob lawyer "You tell him he owes me, and he owes me big." Hoffa rewarded
Marcello with $3.5 million from the Teamster's pension fund for a French Quarter
hotel project. Robert Kennedy told Arthur Schlesinger that he blamed Marcello
for his brother's death. Ironically, RFK's 3 year prosecution of Marcello ended
the day JFK was killed - Carlos Marcello was acquitted in a deportation case
November 22nd by a jury in New Orleans.
Oswald used a 6.5mm Mannlicher-Carcano bolt-action 40 inch carbine with a
four-power scope. It cost only $19.95. It takes a minimum of 2.3 seconds between
shots. Oswald used bullets reloaded for high power.
ONE OR MORE SHOOTERS?
The
official theory is that two bullets hit Kennedy and the first of them
continued on to hit Connally. The shots were at Zapruder film frames 223 and 312
and the range between Oswald and Kennedy for the first shot was 165 feet, for
the second 265 feet. Zapruder's camera speed was 18.3 frames per second, thus
the shots were about 5 seconds apart. The bullet which caused President
Kennedy's neck wound and Governor Connally's back wound came from a point 27(deg
)to the right of true north from the President and was descending at an angle of
25(deg) below horizontal. A straight line can be drawn from Oswald's sniper nest
through Kennedy and Connally. Three spent cartridges were found on the sixth
floor of the Book Depository, the first shot at frame Z160 having missed. The
fact that two bullets made all the wounds makes a multiple-shooter theory
unnecessary and ridiculous.
Oswald had connections to the Soviet Union, Cuba, and the mafia but Ruby was
only connected to the mafia. That makes a mafia conspiracy the only plausible
one. Prosecutor Jim Garrison of New Orleans (Oliver Stone's source) pointed his
finger at everyone except Marcello. It was as if he were Marcello's agent of
disinformation (not too surprising given that Garrison hired David Ferrie as his
investigator and defended Marcello under oath).
1. That the C.I.A., which was
under the total control of the Kennedys, did it is preposterous.
2. The
Soviets wouldn't have used an amateur that could be easily traced to them.
(Indeed, what would be their motive? They judged JFK was weak.)
3. Castro
couldn't have used the mafia which hated him and was trying at the time to kill
him. Note, however, that if Castro had killed Kennedy that he was within his
rights to do it. Every man has the right to defend himself.
"First, the Ruby-Marcello connections in Dallas. The Assassinations Committee
established that Jack Ruby was a friend and business associate of Joseph
Civello's, Carlos Marcello's deputy in Dallas and the boss of Dallas's
relatively small Mafia family, a reality that J. Edgar Hoover tried to keep from
the attention of the Warren Commission and which the commission itself
suppressed by not mentioning it in its report or published exhibits.
Furthermore, it [the HSCA] established that Ruby was on very cordial terms with
Joseph Campisi, who, the committee found out, was considered to be the number
two man in the Dallas Mafia hierarchy and a man on such friendly terms with the
Marcello brothers that he sent the family 260 pounds of homemade sausage every
Christmas...Campisi also admitted that he had visited Ruby in the Dallas County
Jail eight days after the assassination.
"It is one of the practices of the Mafia to visit a member of the brotherhood
who has been jailed for a crime in which the brotherhood was involved soon after
he first enters his cell. One of the purposes of such a visit is to remind the
jailed colleague that he is to keep his mouth shut or else something unpleasant
might happen to him or to a member of his family." (MAFIA KINGFISH, pp. 449-451)
Campisi was the first person to visit Ruby.
Of all the pro-active false leads that Marcello and Ferrie planned, the Cuban
connection was the most fruitful. Oswald, who was anti-Castro, was encouraged to
join a pro-Castro group, distribute their literature and get this to the notice
of the police. An Oswald impersonator signed into the Cuban (and Russian)
embassy in Mexico City shortly before the assassination. The supposed
Oswald-Cuban connection caused RFK to interfere with the assassination
investigation because he did not want the secret that the Kennedys had tried to
assassinate Castro to come out. Marcello walked free.
It is my, Mark Willey's, personal opinion that Marcello offered $25,000 to
Oswald to assassinate Kennedy and instead paid it to Ruby through Civillo or
Campisi to kill Oswald.
CONCLUSION
Dean Acheson, former Secretary of State and one of JFK's top
advisors, observed that Kennedy "did not have incisiveness and he was out of his
depth where he was. I hate to say this because I know it's going to be
misunderstood, but his reputation is greater because of the tragedy of his death
than it would have been if he had lived out two terms...he did not seem to me to
be in any sense a great man. I did not think that he knew a great deal about any
of the matters which it is desirable that a Chief of State or a President of the
United States should know about. He was not decisive."
To quote from Professor Thomas Reeves, "During the Thousand Days, Kennedy
arrogantly and irresponsibly violated his covenant with the people. While saying
and doing the appropriate things in the public light, he acted covertly in ways
that seriously demeaned himself and his office."
With the appointment of his brother as attorney general, he tried to found a
political dynasty, abhorred by the Founding Fathers. "The metaphor of Camelot,
after all, is ultimately un-American and undemocratic, conjuring up images of
crowns and dashing young princes and noble birth."
The Dark Side of Camelot by Seymour Hersh, Little Brown. 1997,
defines JFK as a lout, a cad, a boor, an oaf, a schemer, a liar, a blackmailer
and a reckless gambler with the nation's security, its integrity and its
institutions. Kennedy was a man thoroughly out of control, thoroughly out of his
depth, and maybe thoroughly out of his mind.
Kennedy wasn't just the Hoodlum Prince of Camelot, he was the incarnation of
Sodom and Gomorrah.
