In other words, if Kennedy had lived, we’d be living in a totally different society today, one characterized by a limited-government republic rather than a national-security state — one without the militarism, forever wars, conflicts, hostilities, crises, chaos, coups, assassinations, torture, and indefinite detention that have become regular and permanent features of American life.

Only Trump can MAGA.

This fantasy is an example of a weird attempt by a post Boomer generation to invent a “history” to their liking.

I’ve seen it at twitter for a few years.

Freepers used to know more about the Cold War and JFK than to fall for this nonsense. Maybe you posted it for a laugh.

But your claims are nothing.

If they were something, you would state specifics.

If JFK’s plan was to get rid of the CIA and the national security state, why do we have posters on this website trying to deny his integrity?

"Why JFK Was Deemed A Threat To National Security"

Before you begin your cockamamie explanation, prove that someone considered him such a threat, and who it was.

Democrats wrote a law to replace the American voter.

From unionizing government, to Vietnam, to the 1965 Immigration Act, JFK was the end of us.

“However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Boston’s WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s. In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedy’s blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960. In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin. After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFK’s legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, “I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies.” Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.”

The election of JFK was the end of America, Vietnam, the 60s, LBJ, government unions, and the fatal pill of immigration.

“However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy.

Them Reagan came along and brought down the Soviet Union without firing a shot.

“...After World War II, however, the federal government was converted to a national-security state...”
-
The aftermath of the military-industrial complex
from the all-out effort to win World War II
certainly has caused a lot of problems,
but the REAL PROBLEMS began well before that.

AMENDMENT XVI
Passed by Congress July 2, 1909. Ratified February 3, 1913.
Note: Article I, section 9, of the Constitution
was modified by amendment 16.
“The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.”

AMENDMENT XVII
Passed by Congress May 13, 1912. Ratified April 8, 1913.
Note: Article I, section 3, of the Constitution
was modified by amendment 17.
“The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote.”

Yeah, about 1 Million, he got tricked. What would he have been like if he had had a GOP House?

JFK unionized the federal workers, signed the first Affirmative action law, and started the Vietnam war and his brother Bobby said that he was NOT going to withdraw, JFK emptied the mental hospitals which led to this homelessness.

A great deal of the propaganda for the public image of the CIA was from Hollywood.

They are the opposite of that image.

FDR was a closet fascist. As Pogo said, “We have seen the enemy, and it is us”.

RFK, Jr, who is seeking Dem nomination for President has strong words about the threat and why.
