The Kennedys were Awful

There is a boob break in this one

At around 12:30 pm, on November 22nd, 1963, the insides of John F. Kennedy’s head were exposed to the entire nation. It seems strange today, but this was such a national tragedy in the 1960s that families all over the United States were crying, even ones who didn’t have a Kennedy voter among them. The president was just held in that high of a regard by Americans as a whole. My grandmother, an Irish Catholic who voted for Kennedy, was left in tears by the assassination of the president. John Fitzgerald’s successor, however, has been increasingly recognized as among the worst presidents in American history. There are many similarities between the villainization of Lyndon B. Johnson, and the villainization of Woodrow Wilson. Both have, in the digital age, come under heavy scrutiny because every political group has *some* reason to hate them. They are also both blamed with the death of American servicemen in wars which are today viewed as massive wastes of life (FDR was arguably much more of a warmonger, but WWII is still incorrectly viewed as a moral crusade. Among the similarities, one that sticks out is the “recent predecessor who is praised despite having many of the beliefs on trial”. For Wilson, it’s Theodore Roosevelt and to a lesser extent Taft. Roosevelt would likely have gotten us involved in World War I before Wilson even did, Roosevelt was about equally racist, Roosevelt was pro-suffrage, Roosevelt was pro-Zionism, most of the things Roosevelt diverges with Wilson on are not things that people really use as an attack on Wilson, like Wilson being in favor of self-determination with respect to European colonies. For Lyndon B., it’s John F. Kennedy. The reason right-wingers love John F. Kennedy is threefold. Firstly, it is because of JFK conspiracies, secondly it is because JFK is conventionally attractive, and thirdly it is because JFK is used as evidence that “Liberals then are Conservatives now”.

Obviously, I would take JFK any day over Chandala Harris, or Tim Walz and the retarded son he birthed from his Vagina… That’s not really important, is it? I don’t think JFK is on the ballot. But, let’s not get mixed up here… To talk about JFK, we have to start with the Kennedy family.

Pre-John

Joseph P. Kennedy

The patriarch of the Kennedy family, Joseph Kennedy, is probably the second-most redeemable Kennedy despite his terrible reputation today. It is often suspected that Joseph got some of his wealth off of being a bootlegger during Prohibition, but as far as I know these have never been proven. Joseph was a Harvard graduate, so the idea that he was just some common Irish crook with no credentials is nonsense.

Joseph Kennedy was a staunch conservative, like many Catholic Irish Democrats of the early 20th century. While today we view the “New Deal Coalition” under a very left-wing tone, we ought not to forget that perhaps its largest component was White Southerners… It was certainly not an indicator of social attitudes among its members. What Joe Sr. is most famous for today, is that he was an antisemite with sympathies to Fascist ideologues and regimes. He became acquainted with many influential Fascist sympathizers in the 1930s, including Father Coughlin and Nancy Astor, although in the case of Coughlin was forced to quarrel with him in the public sphere for the sake of optics.

Joe Sr.’s antisemitism was more open than other prominent politicians, but it was not exceptional in my opinion. Franklin Roosevelt was, I would say, in the same ballpark of antisemitism. Both viewed the actions of the Germans and Poles against the Jews in the 1930s as justified, even if a bit harsh. Where they diverged is in their positions on intervention. FDR was strongly in favor of intervention, while Joe Sr. was against it and in favor of appeasement and isolationism. Some of it had to do with his relative coldness towards the British, perhaps related to his Irish ancestry… He did not view it as our moral responsibility to stand with them against the Germans. This caused a rift between Kennedy and Roosevelt which ultimately resulted in his ousting from the position of U.S. diplomat to Britain in 1940. Some of it had to do with a more pessimistic outlook, and some of it had to do with aforementioned sympathies with the Axis powers (this does not mean he himself was a Fascist, by the way). Joe Sr. would continue to be conservative after the War, eventually aligning himself more with Republicans like Hoover and McCarthy in their crusade against Communism.

I say Joe Sr. was the second best Kennedy, because the first best was his intended heir, Joe Junior. Joe Jr. had similar sympathies to the Axis powers as his father, praising Nazi eugenics programs in 1934 in a letter to his father. I am confident that, being “Plan A” for Joe Sr., Joe Junior would have been pruned in a much more conservative and anti-Bolshevik direction. The master plan of the father was for one of his sons to be the first Irish Catholic president of the United States, and he would do whatever it took to make that happen. He was persistent, and foxlike, gladly playing ball with the Roosevelt administration if it meant he could gain political power from it. But, Joe Junior died in a freak experimental plane accident in 1944. So we were left with Plan B, the backup, John F. Kennedy.

JFK had many flaws which made him not ideal for a president. He was a mediocre student, and behind closed doors, a sickly man, which I think nowadays is a well-known fun fact. Another well known fun fact: He was a sex addict. Personal judgement aside, it is obviously a problem when the president is sharing mistresses with mob bosses and having sex with Hollywood celebrities. That’s how you end up with Eric Swalwell style situations… I think it is kind of funny that Eric Swalwell farted on camera that one time. AOC did as well, very epic. The sun is shining. It is a great day in America. Someone, somewhere, not me but someone, has likely gooned to AOC’s mid-interview brapping. The west is saved.

*ahem*…

BOOB BREAK!!!!!

If anyone rigged their election, it was probably JFK. Or more accurately, his father. This is one of the common conspiracies about JFK’s death, that JFK was killed by the mafia because he sent Bobby after the Mob after their help of him. Vote fraud in favor of the Democrats was likely going on in Chicago, but it was not necessarily unique to this election or decisive to the outcome. Texas is a more substantial case, where Nixon biographer Earl Mazo found counties where Kennedy won several times more votes than there were registered voters. Mazo’s reports were not shut down by “independent fact checkers”, but more surprisingly by Nixon himself, who feared the political instability such a revelation could cause.

Was this rigging top-down? Maybe. I wouldn’t put it past the family. But, it’s also possible that elections were (are) just more generally prone to mass local fraud than anyone likes to imagine.

John F. Kennedy

His wife looked kind of weird

Okay, now… JFK, the one everyone cares about… The one Americans make it their pasttime to never shut up about. Hmm, good things about John F. Kennedy… Well, I can respect his devotion to the Space program. And, I have to give him some credit for not getting everyone killed during the Cuban Missile Crisis, but to say he “won” the crisis is an overstatement. The Soviets basically got what they wanted, they pressured the U.S. to remove missiles from Turkey and Italy. I believe that was the ultimate goal of putting missiles in Cuba in the first place. Speaking of Cuba… The Bay of Pigs was greenlit by Kennedy, it doesn’t matter if Kennedy regretted it. He’s the president, it’s his responsibility. Speaking of “his responsibility”… I don’t think it’s fair to blame the massive post-Tonkin escalation of Johnson on Kennedy, but the idea that people like RFK Jr. peddle that Kennedy was actually pushing against increasing troops in Vietnam is completely baseless. The amount of American military personnel in Vietnam rose exponentially under JFK, but was still dwarfed by what was to come under Johnson.

Obviously, the biggest criticism from the right that I have with JFK is his policies on race and on European empires. Eisenhower really only went along with Civil Rights because he had to, he did not want to look weak by letting states ignore constitutional rulings. It was Kennedy who first very intentionally promoted civil rights legislation in office. It was under Kennedy that the dreadful Civil Rights Act found its origin, making it illegal for organizations engaged in interstate commerce to discriminate based on race or sex. Not only does this stomp over our constitutionally enshrined freedom of association, but it is also a major cause of “wokism”, because it creates grounds for disgruntled employees or customers to sue companies for “discrimination”. This encourages companies to lay DEI rhetoric on thick, so they have evidence to defend themselves with if accused of discrimination. It also encourages the development of more robust HR departments, who can internally sort out anything which could be grounds for a discrimination lawsuit. And HR, as we all know, is a big driver of “woke” in the private sector. Affirmative Action also originates in the Kennedy White House, the term first being used in Executive Order 10925.

Kennedy’s administration also oversaw the origin of the infamous Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which opened the floodgates for the whole world to immigrate to the United States. If you’ve been living under a rock for the past 10 years or are simply a normie, see the following figures to get an understanding of the demographic uprooting that this act caused:

And yes, with regards to Europe… JFK was anti-Rhodesia, albeit with pressure from the British. He pressured the French into abandoning Algeria. He supported Angolan Nationalists over the Portuguese. Kennedy was a little bit less harsh with South Africa, although he still had problems with Apartheid. Were European empires untenable at this point? Hmm, probably. But, we must not forget that the collapse of European rule in places like Algeria and Rhodesia resulted in the mass exodus of Europeans who had lived there their entire lives, who had sustained European civilization in these soon-to-degrade environments, and who had fought against Communism and had even fought with us during World War II (albeit, a lot of the Pied Noirs were pro-Vichy). Although I am against this, I do ultimately understand that JFK did all of this because he was concerned about the Communists, and did not want social unrest in America to be used by the Soviet Union to their advantage. Well, with regards to segregation and Rhodesia at least. Immigration, it seems, JFK was always in favor of.

What about the alleged “based” things JFK did that got him killed? Well, first of all, I think if people in power wanted to ruin JFK, they would have done the easier thing and destroyed his reputation by leaking his affairs to the press. If JFK wasn’t assassinated, it is likely that those would have gotten out and he would be remembered more in the ballpark of Bill Clinton, instead of in the “hall of fame” for presidents. But, apart from the theories of Oswald truly acting alone or the mafia doing it, is the idea that it was some personal grudge with Kennedy from E. Howard Hunt. Kennedy did not plan on destroying the CIA, the quote about “splintering it into a million pieces” is not particularly reliably sourced (anonymous aide, post-assassination from what I could surmise) and even then it was said in a tone of disappointment after the Bay of Pigs disaster, it was never seriously proposed (and possibly never said at all). The quote about “a plot in this country to enslave every man, woman and child” is another commonly pedaled quote, but it’s completely fake. There is absolutely zero evidence that JFK intended to dismantle the federal reserve, this entire theory rests on Executive Order 11110 which didn’t actually threaten the federal reserve in any capacity or significantly alter the balance of power between the Fed and the Treasury.

The last common theory I see trying to make JFK a “based martyr” is the Mossad angle. While JFK did nominally resist the Israeli nuclear weapons program, the U.S. was intentionally facetious when it came to actually inspecting Israel for weapons development under Kennedy. Kennedy was a Zionist, through and through, saying that:

“Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom”

John F. Kennedy was also the golden child of American Jewry, winning a staggering 83% of the Jewish vote. John F. Kennedy worked with the ADL to publish A Nation of Immigrants, a book attacking immigration restrictionism as unamerican.

Why conservatives are so obsessed with JFK conspiracies, I’m not sure. It’s always been a left-coded thing… “The Communists didn’t kill JFK, the CIA did because they’re evil racists o algo…” There are two socially acceptable conspiracies across all political parties: 1) JFK was killed by a conspiracy, 2) Aliens exist (fact check: Aliens do not exist! Until proven otherwise), 3) some stupid snca bullshit like the Denver Airport stuff. Oh, and I guess you can say Hitler survived, but this isn’t a conspiracy. The allied governments were convinced for years that Hitler may have survived and never tried to cover this up. Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself is increasingly becoming #4… Say what you will about that.

John F. Kennedy’s assassination may have been the boost that the Libtards needed to get his policies through, just as Lincoln’s assassination resulted in an upsurge of Republican radicalism. Instead of Kennedy leaving office as a disgraced but moderately charming president, he became a national hero. He died “for us”, so we owed it to him to wreck our country permanently with shitty immigration policies.

Post-John

After John, the “Kennedy Curse” starts hitting hard. First of all, I would be remiss not to give Bobby credit for at least wanting clarification that the ‘65 Immigration act wouldn’t destroy our country’s demographics before signing it. I don’t feel like finding the source for this, because I am lazy and I have heard it like a million times. If it is false, tell me and I’ll edit the article. Anyways, Bobby was probably going to become president if he didn’t get shot by some Arab. I don’t know the conspiracies behind Bobby’s death but it does seem somewhat more suspicious than John’s death. I think both of them liked porking women though as did their old man. Bobby was generally a libtard for his time like his brother, so I don’t really care that he didn’t become president.

Most of the succeeding Kennedys were libtards. Ted Kennedy was a libtard and also totally got away with negligent homicide (TL;DR: Drove into a river while drunk, escaped car, went to bar instead of calling police, girl he was with probably survived for like a few hours due to air bubble so if he had called the cops she probably would have lived). Two of RFK’s kids died in stupid ways, one of them got in a Skiing accident and the other OD’d. JFK Jr. died because he flew his airplane in the middle of a storm. Or fog, I don’t remember. Either way, it was very retarded. I have known various pilots and they have only ever said he was acting retardedly when he did that. More recent Kennedy politicians have generally been democrats — Patrick Kennedy, Joe III, Caroline, and yes even RFK Jr. who may I remind you used to be super anal about cracking down on speech questioning climate change. Byedon seems very keen on cozying up to the remaining Kennedys… Obviously a Hibernian conspiracy. RFK Jr. is the exception but he is an odd duck. He’s not electable. His voice is too weird and stupid. And that is frankly good luck considering the luck of the rest of his family.

All in all, I would say… The Kennedy family deserves no sympathy from the right… No more than the Clington or Bush family does. And JFK was one of the worst presidents from a right-wing perspective, perhaps in all of American history, because of the disastrous consequences of his policies which were continued on through his successor. But, the Kennedy family is also very interesting in how dysfunctional and unlucky they are, it is almost like god is punishing the Irishman for trying to take the role of the Anglo-Saxon… Oh begorrah!
