How do you feel about RFK Jr’s presidential campaign?

I feel like his dad made more sense while lying on the floor of the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel than RFK Jr. does anytime he speaks today.

"He wept after seeing a photograph of his late brother in the office of a former aide, wept when asked to comment on the Warren Commission report, and wept after eulogizing JFK at the 1964 Democratic convention with a quotation from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet: "When he shall die, take him and cut him into little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with the night and pay no attention to the garish sun."'

Twenty-Four Years Later, Lies About JFK Jr. Death Continue

On July 16, 1999, John F. Kennedy, Jr., son of the assassinated president, perished along with his wife and sister-in-law, when the plane he was piloting plunged into the ocean off of Martha’s Vineyard, Mass. Many questions remain about this suspicious incident, none of them ever raised by any professional “investigative” journalists.

This writer conducted the first independent investigation into the death of JFK Jr. and published the results in the book Hidden History: An Expose of Modern Crimes, Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics (available from AFP for $23). Research revealed that JFK’s son had a burning quest, behind the scenes, to find out the truth about the death of his father. Several people have confirmed this, including his high school girlfriend, and a member of his close adult inner circle, who very strongly demanded anonymity. Kennedy had read the conspiracy books, and the subject seems to have become a point of contention between him and his older sister Caroline.

At the time of his death, he had scheduled an interview with journalist Wayne Madsen for a position with George magazine, where his first assignment was to investigate the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Other inside sources acknowledged that JFK Jr. was about to launch his political career. Many felt he would opt for the open Senate seat from New York, which eventually went to Hillary Clinton. Others thought he might very well just start with a run for governor, or even for the presidency itself.

In March 1999, Kennedy had supposedly held an exploratory meeting about running for the Senate. JFK Jr. died just days after Hillary expressed an interest in running for the Senate seat. Given the notorious reality of the huge Clinton body count, some have naturally found that curious.

The unedited coverage of local news broadcasts during the search for Kennedy’s missing plane contained numerous references by various on-air reporters to a 9:39 p.m. phone call made by JFK Jr. to the airport, reporting all was well and awaiting landing instructions. This was important, because it would eventually be claimed that JFK  Jr.’s plane went into a death spiral at the very same moment.

When researchers later requested video of these newscasts, the networks deleted every single reference to this 9:39 p.m. phone call from the tapes. This was clearly not an accident. It was akin to Winston Smith at the Ministry of Truth sending the information that conflicted with a narrative down the memory hole. This was in spite of the fact that the Coast Guard sent out petty officer Todd Burgun to give an interview to local television, on the very subject of this 9:39 p.m. phone call. Reporter Susan Wornick, who interviewed him on air, never answered any of this author’s emails requesting a comment. The interview itself, like all the other coverage touching upon this verboten phone call, was edited out of the footage.

There were two key witnesses in the case whose testimony alone destroyed the official theory that Kennedy’s plane went down because of pilot error. Attorney Victor Pribanic described hearing an explosion coming from that location just before the time of the supposed crash. More interestingly, a still unidentified reporter with a local Martha’s Vineyard newspaper claimed to have seen an explosion in the sky at the same time. This author spoke to a local news reporter who had met and gotten the story from this still unknown reporter first hand. The details are all in Hidden History. Like the 9:39 p.m. phone call, this reporter has also vanished down the memory hole.

The state-controlled media constructed a narrative built around JFK Jr. being a “reckless” and unqualified pilot. Interviews with his flight instructor suggested otherwise, but the “reckless” mantra prevailed. More importantly, the public was told that it was dangerous to fly that night, because of the deep “haze” that made it difficult to navigate. In fact, the man who wrote the official weather report for the FAA disagreed vehemently in public with this contention. He blasted the media for all their lies and distortions about how “dangerous” and “hazy” the weather was, maintaining that conditions were actually fine that night. Yet, the disinformation continues, as every mainstream piece on the subject blames Kennedy’s “recklessness” and the bad weather for what happened.

It is interesting to consider what private conversations might have taken place behind the scenes, between John F. Kennedy Jr., and his cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr. As we all know now, RFK Jr. has an intense interest in the subject of both Kennedy assassinations and has publicly charged the government with killing both his father and his uncle.

In retrospect I feel like the Kennedy episode was a huge red flag about his impulses for over dramatization and a general lack of good judgment/taste. I find that episode hard to watch same as I do seasons 5&6.

Lol I remember when the Kennedy episode came out and some of my more obnoxious paler brethren across the Atlantic were all "this is what it feels like, Americans!!! To have your historical figures poorly portrayed by another country!!!"

And it's like well a) we already portray our historical figures inaccurately over here thx b) y'all already portray yours inaccurately over there c) lol I really didn't need an inaccurate Kennedy episode... I would've been down with JFK straight up trying to get Lizzie 2 into bed (though... and I gotta be real.... JFK fucked a lot of people................ but he would never). It wasn't the inaccuracies, it was how DUMB it was. And how incredibly off his impression of the Kennedys was, in a way you really don't need to research much to understand.

I remember thinking of how unbelievable it was that Jackie would apologize for shit talking Elizabeth. Because Jackie shit talked EVERYONE. And she did not apologize to ANYONE, including her own sister, because Jackie knew she was untouchable. Yes, her marriage was rough, in a word; yes, it made her sad that her husband cheated on her; but she wasn't this wilting flower who only said catty shit because she was sad. Jackie Kennedy, and I say this with respect, was an alpha bitch. She was beautiful; she was fashionable; she was blue-blooded; she spoke several languages and was educated and worked a room arguably better than her husband (and they both knew this); she had all his money and, imo, for all their troubles knew he was very unlikely to ever leave her, and also knew there was probably nobody who could give her the type of top dog position and heady success that he could. I mean. Aristotle Onassis had a hard time following JFK, and the man owned his own island.

And I remember being so weirded out by the way he chose to portray both JFK and RFK. Like, don't get me wrong, JFK took a lot of painkillers, but it wasn't like this was some guy on the edge who took them for a ride lmao (Jackie was more about that life, but she still largely had her shit together while in office). JFK had legitimately debilitating chronic pain lmao. Like, Peter, do you get that if you're taking something... for a condition you actually have.... it's not going to give you the same kind of experience as a recreational pill popping but whatever. JFK was considered something of a cold fish in private despite his libido, so the idea that he was just going crrrrrAAAAAZY in the background is insane.

Additionally, RFK was essentially JFK's fixer and a complete control freak, not a submissive force in that relationship at all--more supportive. It was very much a two for one administration. So that bugged me.

I'm not an expert, either, lol. I'm just someone who's gone through nerdy periods re: that family, and it seemed to me that Peter took the most boring cardboard approach that he saw as perhaps... sympathetic? Sad? With a dash of "the true story" and it's like. Honestly dude, go ahead and go in and portray those amoral rich people as amoral rich people living fast and dying young because that's literally what the Kennedys did.

#[excuse my kennedy nerdery] #but also netflix allegedly wants to do a show on them next and it's like #*takes long drag* #i feel like every kennedy depiction is either 'THEY DID NOTHING WRONG EVER' or 'LET'S PULL BACK THE CURTAIN ON THESE HEDONISTS' #*pulls back curtain on a pretty normal rich person thing* #ohhhh carolyn did coke oh noooooooooo how shoooooooocking that a pretty socialite in the 90s had a coke issuuuuue #i mean getting into how jackie wasn't just a Tragic Wife and got her licks in and probs fucked RFK post-assassination #.... a lot #now that's something you can get into. but everyone is scared

"Too often we honor swagger and bluster and wielders of force; too often we excuse those who are willing to build their own lives on the shattered dreams of others. Some Americans who preach non-violence abroad fail to practice it here at home. Some who accuse others of inciting riots have by their own conduct invited them. Some look for scapegoats, others look for conspiracies, but this much is clear: violence breeds violence, repression brings retaliation, and only a cleansing of our whole society can remove this sickness from our soul." —Robert F. Kennedy, shot on June 5, 1968, shortly after his victory in the California presidential primary election

& im sitting here, 20 years old, about to apply to history masters programs, wondering if it’s right to have character development based on actual historical events. yeah, it’s correct and many people historically had a similar experience, but to use this in a cars fanfiction? is that right? is that moral? does it present some underlying educational value? surely it’s irresponsible to NOT include the more violent aspects of the sixties? how does one responsibly approach writing these tragedies in a FANFICTION context? to a demographic of teens and young adults? i don’t know.

#this is about the king and RFK assassinations in spring 68 #in americana its supposed to highlight conservatism. the silent majority. #people who didn’t like the riots. the protests #is it right to present it in such a context? is this something that should be approached in historical fiction? i dont know #another reason why i haven’t posted #americana is a challenge. i love that. but it also makes me realize that i might be a tad too inexperienced to tackle things like this #maybe i’m just overthinking it

Reminder that Sirhan Sirhan (who remains in prison and has been refused parole sixteen times) was supposed to get away from the murder scene riding a horse through downtown Los Angeles. The only reason that didn't happen is because the priest who sold the horse took the money and never delivered it.

#the white album #returning to this album is always a struggle #this really captures it for me #i guess i inherited it #esp the bit about hearing something wrong way before knowing a thing about the bts #saving to find again #1968 casts a long shadow #it's always a hard year to look at even before learning about the bts bug context #tet offensive is generally thought to be jan/feb but stretches into the summer #mlk is assassinated april 4 and rfk is assassinated june 5 #protests and riots in between cops being awful to protestors white nationalist wallace running for president and nixon #ugly ugly year that i'm not sure this country ever really recovered from #in many ways our politics still feel like we’re paying for a wrong turn in 1968 #1968 #mine #helter skelter #beatlesbible #fan accounts #politics and the beatles #american pov #i know they didn't mean half of it to be so relevant it just was #the schizophrenic word usage is fraught and i keep search for a better word and coming up short #(​erratic? unpredictable? fractured? disorienting? none of those really capture it. eccentric perhaps tho that could describe pepper too)

"The saddest thing I witnessed was Bobby Kennedy, whose expression never changed, but there was a pool of water — literally a pool of water — at his feet. He never took a handkerchief to his face, but the tears just continually streamed down."
