Explosive book reveals former President’s praise for the Nazis as he travelled through Germany before Second World War
A new book out in Germany reveals how President Kennedy was a secret admirer of the Nazis.
The news comes embarrassingly close to a visit being paid to Berlin next month by President Obama - one week before 50th anniversary commemorations of JFK's memorable 'Ich bin ein Berliner' speech pledging US solidarity with Europe during the Cold War. President Kennedy's travelogues and letters chronicling his wanderings through Germany before WWII, when Adolf Hitler was in power, have been unearthed and show him generally in favour of the movement that was to plunge the world into the greatest war in history

Joe Sr berated Jews with the odd-sounding pejorative “sheeny”, and was straight Demwit. JFK wasn’t killed by the Jews, although the skinheads over at Stormfront claim to think so; there’s a YouTube vid where JFK is said to warn of Zionist Bolshevism.
JFK was classically anti-union, but sent donations to strike funds to benefit his political career. He spoke in favor of ridding the US gov’t of commie influence, but scheduled one of his back surgeries to avoid having to vote for censure of Joseph McCarthy. He spent part of the 1950s holding hearings about the Eisenhower administration’s involvement in Indochina, but as President endorsed what he called “brushfire wars”.
When he worked as an entrepreneur in Hollywood on silent films in the 1920s, Joe Sr. would call his Jewish competitors "pants pressers." Later, he was far from the only anti-Semite to be appointed to a high ranking position in the Franklin D. Roosevelt Administration: he was the first head of Roosevelt's new Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), an was then appointed US Ambassador to Britain as a reward for his staunch support of Roosevelt's presidential campaign.

The entire Kennedy clan was very friendly with Joe McCarthy (despite the fact that McCarthy was a Republican), and Joe Sr. used his clout to land young Bobby, just out of law school, a job as Counsel to McCarthy's Senate committee.
As for unions, Bobby Kennedy became well-known as an enemy of Hoffa's Teamsters Union a few years later with his investigation of mob influence and corruption from his position as Counsel to the McClellan Rackets Committee.
As corrupt and duplicitous as the pols in those days were, they were chicken feed compared to what we have NOW. (sigh)
That is some interesting stuff you shared...thanks!
They can both mean the same thing.
