The Kennedy family wasn't and isn't perfect but it was always above the likes of the Biden family and the Clinton family.
Joseph Junior died as a pilot in a fighter plane in WW2 and both RFK and JFK served as best they could for freedom in that conflict.
RFK Junior is now one of the best voices world wide against the trashing of human rights in ridiculous nanny state lockdown responses to Covid-19.
In Australia, the freedom movement is very small but its leaders are precious, courageous people standing up against huge odds where PC stupidities dominate all major political parties.
My friend Billy is one of them. He is a self educated private sector orientated businessman who stands up for freedom when many others don't.
Please pray for him.
God Bless Freedom.
You might want to check that.
No, they really weren't better. We've been in a downward spiral since JFK and his Demonrat allies stole the 1960 Presidential election.
NOTHING will ever compensate for the damage Teddy Kennedy did to this country. NOTHING.
If the ‘60 election hadn’t been stolen, Ted the Swimmer would never have been able to serve in the Senate as long as he did nor inflicted the damage he did.
You might want to check that.
Joseph Kennedy Jr. did die in a secret mission to France in his plane during WW II.
It was not a fighter (like, say a P-51), but rather like a bomber (consider a B-24).
My point is he was killed in a secret mission in France. I’m not as savvy as you as to what is a fighter plane and what isn’t. He died serving his country for whatever good that does us now in the position we’re currently in now.
The aircraft was a PB4Y-1, a Navy version of a B24J loaded with 22,000 lbs of Torpex. The aircraft was a remote controlled drone that Kennedy was supposed to parachute from prior to it being crashed into a German V-2 site. The aircraft detonated prematurely and no bodies were ever recovered.
Nope
On August 12, Kennedy and his co-pilot Willy flew a BQ-8 "robot" aircraft (a converted B-24 Liberator) for the Navy's first Aphrodite mission. Initially, two Lockheed Ventura mother planes and a Boeing B-17 navigation plane took off from RAF Fersfield, Norfolk, England at 1800 on Saturday, August 12, 1944. Then the BQ-8 aircraft, loaded with 21,170 lb (9,600 kg) of Torpex explosive, took off to be used against the U-boat pens at Heligoland in the North Sea. Following them in a USAAF F-8 Mosquito to film the mission were pilot Lt. Robert A. Tunnel and combat cameraman Lt. David J. McCarthy, who filmed the event from the perspex nose of the aircraft.[13] As planned, Kennedy and Willy remained aboard as the BQ-8 completed its first remote-controlled turn at 2,000 ft (610 m) near the North Sea coast. Kennedy and Willy removed the safety pin, arming the explosive package, and Kennedy radioed the agreed code Spade Flush, his last known words. Two minutes later and well before the planned crew bailout, near RAF Manston, the Torpex explosive detonated prematurely and destroyed the Liberator, killing Kennedy and Willy instantly. Wreckage landed near the village of Blythburgh in Suffolk, England, causing widespread damage and small fires, but there were no injuries on the ground. According to one report, a total of 59 buildings were damaged in a nearby coastal town.
Wiki link (for what it's worth): Anvil Accident and Death
Joe Sr. was ambassador to the United Kingdom in 1938-40, supported appeasement of Hitler and argued against military and economic aid to the UK
"Democracy is finished in England. It may be here in the United States."
Joseph Kennedy Sr., November 1940.
Horrible person.
Meant to reply to original poster and not you with whom I agree. Sorry about that.
There’s an old movie, “Foreign Intrigue”, that references billionaires in different countries who sold out their home countries (to Hitler), hoping to become kings of said countries after the war.
It looks like this thread is gonna go sideways.
Bomber.
He was flying a bomber that was towing an explosive-laden plane for special detonations, such as bombs. Most historians agree he was flying with a malfunctioning plane, of which he was aware when he took off, but left anyway killing his crew. Critics say he did so out of a quest for glory.
At any rate, read RFK Jr.’s book and watched his video. First, his research on the vax is superb. Can’t be refuted, which is why none of the vaxiopaths will let him anywhere near official proceedings. Second, he takes shots at Trump when, had he actively attempted to ally with Trump, they could have stopped this nonsense and if not stopped the vax, at least mainstreamed both ivermectin and HCQ, both of which RFK Jr. documents in his book. His Trump hate kept him from being a much more effective voice. Trump was open to meeting with him.
Old man Joe Kennedy was a bootlegger among other things his clan is no better.
Amen. Then there's this, the cheerleaders for the American Holocaust of 63.6 million aborted babies:
How a handful of liberal Catholic theologians persuaded the Kennedys to support abortion
JFK was pro-abortion and ran on a platform of chain migration and was for non-European replacement migration, the bill Ted passed in honor.
“Before John F. Kennedy’s 1960 election to the presidency, a Senate colleague had asked Kennedy how he, as a Catholic, viewed the issue of making “family planning information” available at home and abroad. Kennedy responded, “It’s bound to come; it’s just a question of time. The Church will come around. I intend to be as brave as I dare.” As President, Kennedy cautiously gave encouragement to those who wanted to involve both the U.S. government and the United Nations in population control. He did not, however, share with the public his views on abortion. According to journalist Benjamin Bradlee, a friend of Kennedy’s, in 1963 JFK privately “said he was all for people solving their problems by abortion (and specifically told me I could not use that for publication in Newsweek)...”
I’ve read a lot of books about the Kennedys in the past, and I’m going to check out the book you recommended by RFK Jr. (I had no idea about his book) The details are fuzzy that I remember reading about Joe Kennedy Jr, pretty long ago, but the Kennedys seemed to be risk takers.
And, I didn’t know about him turning on Trump,(it was just like RFK Jr. disappeared) but I never felt he was a very good, person to begin with after Mary Kennedy’s suicide. Thanks, and I appreciate the reading recommendation.
