$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Jogger', 'W')hat do you think the world would be like today if JFK wasn't assassinated in 1963?

[TommyJefferson]

Perhaps LBJ's insane socialist programs would not have been passed.
Millions of parasites might not have grown fat and retarded off government handouts. America would be a fitter, more decent place today.
It's ironic that it took a corrupt Texas ass-kicking political bully like LBJ to slam through traditional American resistance to socialism to get those laws passed.

We sure as hell wouldn't have gotten involved in that horrible decade long war.
JFK was trying to get American advisors out of Viet Naim in '63 but he was killed before he could finish the task. LBJ on the other hand started operation rolling thunder and the massive invasion of ground troops.
Also, because the USA would not be wasting hundreds of billions of dollars (adjusted to 2006 $$) in Viet Naim and the War on Poverty, we would not have become a debtor nation in the 70's.

He probably would've been forced to resign. Many journalists were on the verge of exposing his many affairs when he was assassinated. Several Secret Service agents had already resigned because they could no longer be a party to covering for him as he brought women right into the White House to screw them.
Johnson would've ended up as President anyway.

If Bush would have been assassinated shortly after the invasion of Afghanistan he would have gone down into history as one of the greatest president of all times, and you could adore his smirk on Mount Rushmore today.
If Hitler would have been assassinated in 1939 or even 1941, he would still be celebrated today as the greatest German leader of all times.

You can extend that list at will.
Martyrdom and mythological idolatry is not exclusively reserved to muslim goat herders, you know.
Kennedy for sure was as smart guy, and a good president, and he even might have saved mankind from nuclear annihilation. But if he would have served his two terms he would probably be remembered on the same level as Carter or Reagan, hated by some, loved by others.

[turmoil]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Dreamtwister', 'I')'m suggesting that Khrushchev didn't consider Kennedy as a serious adversary, especially after the crisis. And if Kennedy had not been assassinated, Khrushchev might have tried to capitalize on that weakness, leading us down a very dark, radioactive path.
At least...that's how the theory goes.
The truth is, Kennedy had so many enemies, we might NEVER know the whole story.

For all the dangerously naiive in peak oil land who still think that the world is shaped by transparent and largely random political events. JFK addresses the press in a speech where he describes secret societies, their means of infiltration and the press's role as watchdog. link
Discuss.

[jupiters_release]

Could have done without sensational images but the speech was good, I'm surprised the bankers didn't off him sooner. I guess with the technology today TPTB nowt worry about someone like JFK winning a presidential election. Funny how well perfected the system has become in such short time. Will be interesting to see how well they coordinate NWO, peak oil, and die off.

Thank you Threadbear. I fear JR is correct to a point.
<red curtain draws open>Yet - preceeding succession after succession the naysayers stood on the sidelines with fear as their companions all the while suggesting that the feat these few brave men now attempted was suicide and impossible!!! <enter musical score from the movie "the patriot">
They have the greatest army!!! they have better weapons!!! they have you outnumbered!!!<music increasing>

Nay I cry!!!
We kicked their asses and we can godamn right do it again!!!
We are this country you fucking elite fascist terrorizing bastards!!!
Better fuckin realize it before we lay your heads low and only raise them up again to place them on a fucking pike !!! <neopo loves that part.
So that every man woman child will know!!! (for at least 20 years or so) - DO NOT TREAD ON US!!! <end with triumphant musical crashendo.
Theatre was my true calling

<tears> free and independent!!!
Say it over and over - its the most beautiful thing!!!
free and independent!!!
Shall we hang most of the press now or later?
Jon Stewart is NOT a comedian and I nominate him President for 2008'- who's with me!!! ??
Were goin to strip and storm the quad - who's with me!!???
Beyond all this: I believe that was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard a president say.
And then they/we killed him.
It bothers me enough to make a double post and that aint too cool.
Yes I am really fucking bothered!!!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AmericanEmpire', 'I')t was the elite group of bankers who control the world who did it: link

JFK & FEDERAL RESERVE: "On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. President Kennedy's Executive Order 11110 gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority:

'to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the treasury....'
Perhaps the assassination of JFK was a warning to all future presidents not to interfere with the private Federal Reserve's control over the creation of money."

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11110: RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE OF CERTAIN FUNCTIONS AFFECTING THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY (By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 301 of title 3 of the United States Code, it is ordered as follows...)
JOHN F KENNEDY vs THE FEDERAL RESERVE (five months after disempowering the private, foreign-owned Federal Reserve Bank, JFK was assassinated).

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TommyJefferson', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Lokutus', 'T')hen why are there witnesses claiming that there were gunshots from there?

[NEOPO]

Yeah sounds like someone supported the CT industry and now wants their money back

He will probably want his donations to PO.COM back once the official version of PO starts making more sense to him then the generally accepted understanding that people here at PO.COM believe.

Worse is the fact that this type of mentality is not only present with CT's but seems to span all subjects of interest where we are uncertain of the facts.
Ah well - they have their good nights sleep and I have my truth.....

Former CIA Man Latest To Connect LBJ To JFK Assassination
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PrisonPlanet', 'A') former CIA agent has gone public with his conviction that former President Lyndon Baines Johnson was directly connected to the JFK assassination and its cover-up, echoing the claims of others close to LBJ at the time who have also blown the whistle on Johnson's complicity in the murder.
E. Howard Hunt, a former CIA agent who organized the Watergate break-in, earning him the name "plumber" states in his book, American Spy: My Secret History in the CIA, Watergate & Beyond, due out in April, that "LBJ had the money and the connections to manipulate the scenario in Dallas and is on record as having convinced JFK to make the appearance in the first place."...
