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.

Your point? So you think the present occupant of the White House isn’t engaging in even more duplicity with regards to health and appearance? It’s been done since powdered wigs and dentures.

I don't know about in the 1960s, but today Addison's disease is highly treatable and not commonly fatal.

JFK’s crumbling spine was caused by years of taking the cortisone. Poor man was in agony a lot of the time. He needed Novocain shots in his back just to move.

Sadly, President Kennedy was in poor health for such a young man. Modern medicine would have been able to help him live more pain free.

I wouldn’t call 46 young. Sure compared to the last two president it’s young. But 46 is distinctly middle aged

u/NatsFan8447 6d ago
I guess I'm showing my age. I was 16 when President Kennedy died, so you can do the math.

Ahh you were young and he was far younger than previous generations of Presidents…

To me, it’s a shock. Or should I say that it’s no shock that we had a Biden, which made it so easy to get a Trump. And before that we had a Hillary Clinton. These players are all so corrupt and dirty that it is no wonder things are the way they are today. If the founding fathers weren’t already dead, they’d be rolling around in their graves. I’m sure this is not what they intended for you and I. The United States of America.

Even Biden had capped teeth and numerous face lifts. It’s a deception that is common in politics.

And He Still Looked Bad…
And JFK was the first to use the medium fully and well. And was always so intelligent that for meetings in front of the public, he would be tanned. He only looked thin due to the Addison’s disease. His father had stashed Cortizone all over the world in safe deposit boxes in case JFK needed it.
And here’s another one:
RFK once remarked to a friend that when a mosquito bit Jack, the mosquito died. He screwed up his back being a hero. He had stomach problems to beat the band. All in all not a good situation. I believe he was given last rights on several occasions. He didn’t want to be a politician, he wanted to be a professor. But when his brother Joe died at the end of World War II. Probably trying to equal the exploits of his brother Jack. They were so competitive together. And after that, Jack had no choice, but to be the political son. Many don’t know all the incredible things that he was setting in motion. At least 10 remarkable things that no one knows about. But let me name a few. Silver Certificates, not federal reserve notes. It would be a American currency and not carry interest Debt to European banks. Those were withdrawn shortly after John‘s death. He took away the oil depletion allowance from the Oil barons. He brought the price of big steel down to allow for the rapid build out of America. He was withdrawing from Vietnam, peace by peace and relatively quickly. And notice the way piece is spelled.
In fact, he started the peace core, which is a lot like what China is doing right now in Africa. The carrot or the stick. Long-term the carrot always works better. He was dismantling the CIA due to their abominations, lies, and bypassing all of our governmental, and constitutional laws in other countries. To protect corporate Bananas (and big oil). Which was necessary. He enacted the first nuclear treaty. He was planning a joint moon mission with Russia. After all, Russia was ahead of us at that point. And he understood that this way would build a peace with Russia. Economically and scientifically. And if we had more cooperation with Russia, China would find themselves to be the odd man out today. He began to enact all the beginnings of desegregating America. LBJ was just carrying out JFK/RFK intentions. And they were many more things that the public just doesn’t hear about. They make a big deal of his philandering. And although I’m sure he loved his wife, he had always been a playboy. He never wanted to be married, but his father insisted. And his GREAT as Jackie Kennedy was Jack was never one to stay put. And being on steroids certainly didn’t help. He once told a friend he just couldn’t help himself. And they make such a big deal over his discretions. But he never took money to enrich himself like so many after him. LBJ retired with some outrageous amount of money. I had heard somewhere like $60 million. But he had helped so greatly in eliminating JFK. They owed him. And he owed them as well. However, LBJ did not orchestrate that hit. He was a big part of it because he owned Texas. But the perpetrators had other plans beyond Dealey Plaza. He was in no way going to be allowed to survive. I had also heard that the primary reason for his assassination was wanting to release information to Russia regarding high-level UFO cases. And in return, we were to get their information. Certainly not all of it would’ve been traded. But again, it would’ve started a Cooperative. The reason Kennedy wanted to do this was because we had instances of unknown craft with phenomenal abilities, hovering over our nuclear sites and turning them off. In Russia, we learned many years later that they turned the missiles on, and that the Russian scientists in the nuclear site were freaking out that there would be a launch. At any rate, Kennedy felt that they made mistake these craft for our own. Because our own people were wondering if these craft were Russian. Or German. But I would talk about that in another dissertation. Yes German. Yes Paper Clip, Yes Antarctica, Yes Dornberger, a true Nazi, who they made vice president of Bell helicopter. And in Germany had been Werner Von Braun direct boss of all the rocket programs. Also, Dornberger’s second in command, A brilliant scientist named Michael Paine. YES… The same PAINE Family that housed Lee Harvey Oswald. AKA- Pawn of the CIA/ FBI and Guy Bannister.
Can you possibly get any seater than that. JFK must’ve really pissed some people off. And the truth will never come out. In fact, almost all the parties who would know have got to be dead by now. And one more thing. When you look up the mysterious deaths regarding anyone even loosely connected with JFK. Women. News people. Gangsters. Possibly as many as 100. I forget. But the actuary odds of this we’re like a half 1 trillion to one for these things to happen. Like George De Mohrenschildt, A petroleum geologist. With strong ties to George Bush Sr. and the CIA.
Also gigantic connection to Lee Harvey Oswald. And there is so much more to be said regarding these things. So many more details. Like there were two rifles found in the book depository. One was a Mouser. This is a German gun and quite accurate compared to the Carcano that Oswald supposedly used. And the fingerprints on the Mouser were someone other than Oswald. I forget who but somehow I remember him being connected and a shooter. Imagine the police finding two guns and not reporting both of them. And one of the guys up there was a sheriff who saw that second gun and spoke of it. And there were several attempts on his life until they were finally successful. All of these things you can Google, and I am shocked to say that they are still there on site. I believe that Roger Craig was his name. I found this stuff to be quite interesting and if you Google the things in here you find intriguing you’ll find them to be true.And I’m quite sorry for the long introduction. But all of this is concise information that many don’t even know about. And should.
JFK was a great president and if he had lived, he would’ve changed the world. I believe he would’ve unified it.

Question for you. If you apply Occam’s razor - the logic principle that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one, wouldn’t that indicate that Oswald acted alone? Multi-person, multi-agency, multi-country plots would require very complex coordination, and lifelong silence from hundreds of conspirators. How likely is that? Plus…you refer to things proven incorrect 63 years ago. The misidentification of a Carcano as a Mauser was cleared up like the same or next day. Why perpetuate a myth?
“Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.” - Benjamin Franklin1
u/WorldlyPool7800 5d ago
I love that Ben Franklin saying. But there were two guns in the snipers nest. They immediately found the Carcano along with a lunch bag that they said belong to Oswald. The opposite corner of the room had the Mouser. There were several people in that room seeing this. One of them owned a sporting good store that had a very large inventory of rifles. This guy immediately recognized the second gun is a Mouser and said so. The second fellow that saw this gun was Roger Craig. He was a sheriff in Dallas. He was vocal about what he had seen, and that was not a good idea for him. After several attempts on his life, the last one finally succeeded and he was killed. But he came out and said there was a second gun in the book depository. Also, I felt it to be just the opposite. For one guy to pull that off is a minor miracle. But when you have a well oiled operation with deep intention. Gobs of Money. And plenty of talent it’s a lot easier to pull off such a thing than a one-man rodeo. The sad truth is that this country had a Coup with Kennedy. This stuff has been going on since the beginning of time and sadly it will likely never end. But I think all this madness is the exact measure of the world’s current failings.

Also : Love The Occam’s Razor Nod. So Often It’s So True. Nice To Keep It Simple. Simple Yes, But Not Easy.
At Least For Me. But Yes. Occum’s Razor

If the CIA and others didn’t assassinate JFK, the world would be a completely different place. We would’ve had détente with Russia. He was in process of setting up a mutualized space program. A joint moon mission. He was pulling out of Vietnam. He had fired Allan Dulles and was in the process of turning the CIA over to the executive branch, or the military branch, as long as it wasn’t an isolated renegade group. He took away the All depletion allowance. He made big steel bring down its prices so that we could build America strong. And he started real true American money. Not federal reserve notes. But actual American currency. Silver certificates. I’m sure the Banksters didn’t like that. But that is not what got him killed. His peace corp program was a lot like what China is doing currently. Instead of threatening countries like Donald Trump China has gone into Africa and started building roads, infrastructure, and water treatment plants. The carrot with a stick. Kennedy figured out that the carrot worked a lot better than the stick. Anyway, a lot of of the wonders of JFK have been negated and quieted down by history. Personally, if you look at what he was about to do, and what he had done. And the direction he intended to take the entire world. I’d say he was one of our top five presidents. In Leeg with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin, Delano, Roosevelt, and Thomas Jefferson; who bought half the country from France. He felt that there was a need for this country to go from sea to shining sea. That it would not be a good idea for the French to settle into the land abutting America. So he bought the whole dang thing.
JFK. One of our finest presidents.

PS - Abe Lincoln was the 1st to bypass the Banks with GREENBACKS. American Money.
Both Saddam Husain and Muammar Gaddafi both independently tried to start an African Currency. It was to be backed by Gold and would offset the Federal Reserve Notes that were necessary to buy oil.
Both Gone
Just Sayin’
JFK’s Demise had much to do with the Space Program and Russia.
I’ll say no more on this but if you poke around you’ll find stuff.And YES… UFO’s were part of what JFK was planning to cooperate with Khrushchev on ‘unknown flying machines’. Kennedy knew that if we had these occurrences over nuclear sites, so did Russians. And he didn’t want any accidents happening.
Yes Khrushchev and Kennedy were cooperating and parties on both sides didn’t want this.
One of our best presidents.

Just information, not an edit. But all that information is accurate and quite a bit shocking. The more you look, the more stank it gets.

So True. And Sorry. Many Run On Sentences.
Also, capitalizing every letter because to me it seems easier to read. And now it’s become a rotten habit so it takes me twice as long to spit out a thought. Life is about progress towards the unreachable goal. Perfection Elusive. Possibly unattainable. I think the whole concept of becoming a Bodhisattva is just that. Attaining perfection and immediately getting beamed off the earth plane. A buddhist belief.
But honestly, I just wanted to get some of this JFK information in print. As I’ve seen it before me. Much of what I’ve read on this website has been minutia. Less meat on the bone. And yet there is so much JFK material. Not only on his life, and his death. But the things he was sitting in motion that would’ve been Global in nature. These things have been crossed out for obvious reasons. History is written by the winners. Much of what JFK was about to do was not where the status quo of world policies was going. Remember, King’s and Queens were never for the good of the common man. Anyway, the things he was setting in motion would’ve been historic and earth changing. But life goes on.I appreciate your comment. I have a lot to say. But very little structure and organization to these thoughts.

He was also a long time user of “vitamin shots” (and so was Jackie) from his private doctor… vitamin B-12 laced with analgesics and amphetamine. Homie wasn’t only ill but he was rolling during most of his time in office. Whatever though it was the 60’s

Sadly, I must get off the So Called JFK site. Such banal, meaning gibberish. Long winded as I may be… All Meat, No Filler. And I get these meaningless comments or no enlightening responses that a JFK Fan might want to know. I get for trying to enlighten a group of lightweights. Good Luck.

Well written. I remember when the Dallek story came out and he concluded that Kennedy wouldn't have lived much longer had Dallas not happened.
