Even more horrifying than that is the government covered up for his murderers. JFK was removed by a coup de etat...and the current ideological heirs of those scumbags are in positions of power in the Deep (intel) State NOW and that is frightening!
@kevin johnson Yet he had Harry Belafonte and Mahalia Jackson at his Gala. You have to remember the times---in 1961 interracial marriage was illegal in this country.
John Kennedy was terminally ill his ENTIRE LIFE too which makes everything he did so much more stunning and of which he desperately tried hiding from the world. He was one of the most courageous men in American history. May God bless his soul. 💔
Dam, Kennedy had to deal with a lot of twisted devils. May God have mercy on his soul. Peace, Mr. President, my falling fearless leader. You could have changed so much but you were up against so much. We salute you.
+Charlie Mcgloughlin .....I know right, lol...I like how he kinda had enough & jumped in right after The Governor talked Bobby to sleep basically & finally said..."We realize that you don't support the decision, ect". Before that the Governor was just stalling & obstructing basically.
Thank God we have one now I definitely believe with all my heart Kennedy would be a republican this day in age Kennedy would be a Republican believe you me
I'd be thrilled if today's Republicans adopted Kennedy's advocacy for Medicaid and Medicare, aid for the poor and hungry, support for Latin America to make them prosperous, the Peace Corps, and his strong support for labor unions and civil rights.
@@daledyer5820 well said Dale,,the dems have gone so far off the edge the last 50+ years,,(especially the last 25,30 years)..on the whole, the Nation has shifted to the left,that's why were in the hole were in..think about it...rest easy,President Kennedy🇺🇸.....
What a great American, President John F. Kennedy.... It took a president, an attorney general, federal marshals and the military to make it safe for a black man to enter a college in Mississippi. Strangely, I was 7 years old Mississippian and remember it all...
Your comment's a year old, but if you see this, can you share anything you remember about that time? I'm particularly interested because I'm assuming that's your picture. And, as you can see, my skin and therefore my heritage, is white. And that means I don't have that experience. So all I know is that it would require courage to be black and in that location at that time in history.
@@camabelu1 Hi, I got a joke for you because my skin is silver ok. What is the difference between black and white? About 50 Shades Of Grey 😉. My comment might be a year or too out but it still fits in. Have a good day and work well together as a country.
"Our nation is founded on the principle that observance of the law is the eternal safeguard of liberty. And defiance of the law is the surest road to tyranny." ~ J.F.K.
I saw John Kennedy when I was eleven. He was running for President. He was riding on the back of a convertible, and it stopped right in front of us. I was holding a sign I had made myself. He smiled, pointed, and waved. At eleven I recognized the charisma he oozed. When the Cuban missile crisis came along, I believed he would keep us safe. I was fourteen when he was shot. Crushed, absolutely heart broken.
Some people say that JFK played it too safe and waited too long to make these necessary moves. Er....sorry. Can you imagine Eisenhower having done this, or Nixon had he won in 1960? Nope, no way. JFK was a great president, and he has my undying admiration.
General William T. Sherman you are right, Truman initiated, but no one can deny Eisenhower followed through, and also sent Fed troops into Little Rock. So maybe like RFK, he evolved on civil rights.
Yea. And if he did what he wanted which was support it strongly and openly then he losses support from congress in the south and he needed that support to pass the civil rights bill.
Not true.. this was what the Democrat Party was about ... segregation and the KKK. Kennedy was young and idealist and he was a Christian and wanted to do the right thing. If he was alive today, he couldn't get passed a Democrat primary much less to the presidency because they are so far left.
Although the national guard was required in the end, Kennedy tried hard to avoid any real confrontation or loss of life. And it is amazing the the Governor recognized the state laws but not the US Constitution and the authority of the judiciary.
Well said Edward,this wonce great nation has lost its leadership bearings,I'm not to confident in recovering those bearings for this and future generations....were in a bind...rest easy President Kennedy.. ..you did your best for this Nation...🇺🇸
I was in 3rd grade when our President was murdered and cheated of part of his 1st term and all of what would almost certainly have been his 2nd, from 1964-68. When I have thought about how different the 60's, & therefore the 70's, 80's, 90's, etc. might've been, had he not been assassinated, its depressing...we lost when he died.
I agree. The powers that be knew the Kennedy brothers could have steered the USA for 16 years And for those powers that would be a nightmare come true so they needed to murder them both Sad. Can you imagine the change it would have made in the lives of the average American
Well said Tim..couldnt agree more,the good folks of this wonce great nation were absolutely cheated..by a select few selfish tyrants..the true conspirators are known..i Believe it gets very warm down there...👿...as for President Kennedy..he was a TRUE statesman.rest easy Mr.President 🇺🇸
I too was in the 3rd grade and will never forget my father's sadness those 4 days nor my teacher saying, after receiving the news, "Children, we need to pray for our President."
@@nickismith4787 That's pretty much what the Mother Superior said when she came into our classroom and told us what happened. We had Mexican and Cuban nuns, these were were some very tough women, but that day flattened them it was the only time we ever saw Sister Asuncion cry....
Here's how I see it......JFK thru '68.... Johnson is too ill to run. RFK resists but is drafted by the party. Outright rejects the party's nomination, and Humphrey loses to Nixon, who then loses to RFK in '72. Considering the way things actually turned out, I'd give that a whirl any day.
That governor down there in old Miss doesn't give me a sense of confidence the way he was talking. He kept saying, well, I dunno.... uhh, well... I can't go against the laws down here. that's why the people put me in office. Right then, Kennedy should of said, Governor, if I have to send the army down there to federalize the state because you can't do your duty to provide law and order, I'll personally give the order to have You arrested and any other public official down there and have you charged with obstruction of justice!
Ross Barnett was defiantly against allowing James Meredith attending the University of Mississippi . He was trying to keep the racism and prejudice going and President Kennedy was trying to do the right thing.
God bless JFK and RFK both that fought for change ! To protect All AMERICANS And make safety First above all ! Unfortunately Along with change it is a threat to other members of USA GOVT , CIA and FBI ! JFK had bay of pigs , executive order to STOP Federal reserve . Along with this ordeal in Mississippi and so much more change comming . With All of this , it costs both Lives of JFK and RFK both ! Yet change occurred anyway ! Rip forever to both men !
Born and raised Mississippian. I love it here. for the most part races keep to themselves. But it’s not as bad as it used to be. But, we love each other at the same time. It’s an odd dynamic. If you are interested in the black/white dynamic in Mississippi I suggest you read “the help.” It pretty much portrays it.
@Syco2k3 - I would like to get these recordings as well. I first heard the calls during a college class. I am happy to find some here, but would like to hear/own them all. Any info is welcome. Perhaps, if not possible, I should download the few that are here. But, thanks for any info and here have.
JFK installed the recorder after the Bay of Pigs, presumably (as he felt he was badly advised in that affair) with the intent of being able to support his take on anything that transpired with irrefutable recorded evidence. LBJ and Nixon both kept it. FDR and Truman had a few recordings done while they were in the Oval Office, but the technology was pitifully poor and hard to make out- (there's an exception or 2 you can find on the net, if you're so inclined.) . There was a device JFK could trigger to get his recordings rolling.
My favorite JFK call of all his calls is the one about the $5,000 bed from Jordan Marsh. He was pissed. “Look at the stupid bastard standing by the bed. What’s wrong with the up there…” (Boston). Loved it😂
Thanks God for the life of JFK,RFK, what a great loss for american people, a peaceful loving people, the CIA, FBI, the Elites, industrial military the Bush Clans and Cronies , He was taken away from us in the midst of the day. I know you are now making and preparing all your speech in heaven with Jesus✝️🙏🌈 your memories will live in our forever Amen😇
Please Trump would not have stuck his neck out for this issue. Reagan perhaps certainly not a fan of Reagan, but have more respect for his intellect than for Trumps.@@reymondjames1726
The only president who is a head of time WOW to listen to phone recoding we can understand the the challenges he had to through I And the opinion of the Governor obvious he had difficulty a head waiting for him.
JFK had to be thinking: "Did I talk to the Attorney General? He's my brother, you !@#$%^)$! What in God's green Earth would lead you to believe we're not on the same page?".
Anybody with a brain knew talking to rfk was same as talking to the president. This boob was trying to play stupid. Which wasn’t too terribly difficult.
@@jonchaney Don't mistake the slow, southern drawl for lack of intelligence. The governor knew well how the game was played in the old school rural south. JFK knew he did too. Interesting to hear the clash of NE and old south cultures trying to out-finesse each other.
LMFAO he was so much smarter than the rest. He needed to move slow or he wouldn't be re-elected then in 1964 you would have seen the best of him. such a loss
JFK can perceive the "dancing around the issue" approach of Mississippi Governor Ross Barnet and stymies him every time he tries to pull something on these phone calls. No one without Kennedy's force of personality could have done this at the time.🙂
Gee, what a fight for humanity they had in their hands. I wonder if the civil Rights issue was why Truman tried to dissuade him from running for the the presidency ?
Listening to these tapes show clearly how these two brothers were focused on changing the system , and the sheer frustration they must have gone through to effect change . They worked tirelessly . I'm from the UK , a lot of us here were totally dismayed on the mistreatment of African Americans . The Kennedy brothers were up against the status quo and it cost them their lives . Up against ignorant arrogant evil people . I'm white and it makes me ashamed to be white
I understand your sentiment, but you should not be ashamed to be white, no more than blacks should be ashamed to be black, just because a black person is a criminal. I was back in my native Denmark when this was going on, I was a teenager, but followed the news.@@helenmillar5406
As I learn more and more about JFK I admire him more and thank God that men like him walked this land, if it wasn't for men like him, Lincoln, MLK this country would ended up like the Hitler Germany. The part that I do not understand is that after all the blood and tears that it caused this country to be where we are today, a lot of people do not know their history and those who don't know their History make the same mistakes; and today 2016 we are voting and going crazy over a millionaire self center candidate for president that will take us back 100 years after all this progress with his hateful speeches and thinking that not all men are created equal. God bless America and keep us from a home made Hitler (Trump).
There is a chapter in the book "Brothers" by David Talbot that gives an excellent blow by blow account of what is going on here. I would like to summarize some of it here because there are some missing pieces. At the time of some of these calls, representatives from the attorney general's office, several U.S. Marshalls, and James Meredith are in a building on the campus and the building is surrounded by a screaming mob. You will probably figure that out by just listening to JFK's comments. The reference JFK makes about arresting General Walker at 21:42 might be of interest to some people. General Walker is the right wing general from Texas whom Lee Harvey Oswald "allegedly" shot at some time in 1963. JFK knew very well whom General Walker was since he relieved him of his station for distributing right wing literature to the troops which was against military regulations. In addition, there were delays in getting the National Guard there. Eventually, one of the generals admitted that because night had fallen and they were in unfamiliar territory they didn't know where to land the incoming helicopters. This prompted JFK to look over a map of the area and make suggestions as to where the helicopters could land. The final tense hours occurred during the night and JFK & RFK were in the oval office the entire time. It was around 6 a.m. when the mob was dispersed and Meredith was safe. According to the book "Brothers," there are many more phone calls that take place than what you are listening to here.
@@Mo-yd8xcdisgruntled intelligence agents and local PD who were either B.O.P. veterans, had mob connections, or *WERE BOTH* in the mob and intelligence!! You can also add guys like MLK, as well as the majority of the world’s leaders who openly resisted the “M.I.C.” and were then “conveniently” assassinated around that time. Figures like LBJ and Hoover who were in the pockets of leaders in both categories had to ensure the cover-up or join the list!! Of course, being they were never fans of the brothers in the first place, as well as opening up the door to allow his dream of being president to happen was the icing on the cake for them. It did however, consume LBJ mentally, leading to his early death, almoat immediately in the years upon his resignation. Plenty of the mob bosses/leaders involved also eventually showed remorse over the years at taking out JFK instead of just eliminating the main threat, his brother.
I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING!! EVERYONE EVEN IN CASUAL CONVERSATION TALKED LIKE FANCY!!!🤣🤣 SINCE AMERICA WAS FOUNDED BY BRITS WHAT YOU ARE HEARING IS A CARRY OVER OF BRITISH DIALECT MIXED WITH AMERICAN! WHICH AS AMERICAN CULTURE STARTED TO DEVELOPE MORE WE HAVE OUR OWN UNIQUE AND DISTINCT WAY OF SPEAKING NOW!!🙌💯
I went from a clip on Trump to this. What has happened. From Kennedy, such a great man to whats there today. But maybe the people get the president they deserve.
Yes listening to the eloquence of Kennedy, both JFK and RFK, and comparing it to Trump's speeches certainly make one feel we have digressed instead of progressed, even listening to Reagan (whom I was not a fan of) makes you realize our past presidents had more intelligence than what we have today. Sad
So since he was so excellent a man and was killed so brutally did that make politicians behave so differently because they were scared? I would be more scared to not conduct myself to his standards because it will be God on judgement day and Kennedy and God are allies I promise you.
Do you feel the Klan is closer to God? Is hate is what God wants? I think, If you believe in God, then you and the Klan have a lot of answering to do. God is going to want to know what did you do during your time here on earth.
So many professors were either fired or left after the riots. A lot of people I knew in Ole Miss got there jobs because of that. They couldn’t attract other professors, so they hired students who were still finishing up to degrees, let them finish them there, with the promise of a job. It worked out great for some of them in fields that didn’t have a lot of jobs available. It was rough for a long time though.
This was a year before the Univ. of Alabama showdown where Wallace was going to get arrested if he didn't move his ass out of the doorway. He relented.
Well, Lenray, he sounds like he's verbally sparring with this b-d of a Gov. in an emotionally charged but unrelenting fashion. He's trying to box the gov. in to a corner where he'll have to do what's right despite all his inclinations to the contrary. Very high stakes chess.
+TheMattd546 ....Bro, this was the 60's. Let's see Meredith walk into that school today. He prolly has something named after him. They wanted him strung up back then just for wanting to go to a University. You have no idea how dumb that sounded when you proclaimed shit is worse today than it was then, lol (smh).
+TheMattd546 The Cuban missile crisis was far bigger than anything faced today. And the Vietnam war was a bigger issue than the Iraq war and the war in Afghanistan combined. And the civil rights issue wasn't just about getting someone into a school. There was violence against blacks in the south like lynchings, murders of civil rights activists, bombing of churches etc. I would say the issues faced then were bigger than today.
@@Steve-nm9qy He was afraid he may have actually been effective. He and Bobby spent a lot of time running the pick and roll, making sure Lyndon stayed on the bench.
The first thing JFK mentions is that he is bound by the constitition to execute the law of the land. The current president doesn't even know or care about the laws of the land; he just does as he pleases. Some one ought to make him listen to the speech.
mike smith Don't you understand what I just said? Obama may know the law, but he has no respect for it. Do you get it now?? How can I make it any clearer sir?
President Kennedy and his brother, Robert, are very pressing in these phone conversations. The southern gentleman, the governor of Mississippi (Mr. Ross Barnett), was very calm and he tried to show how that he is bound by an oath to keep Mississippi State law, in which there was a clause that any person having a criminal record cannot be admitted into a school of higher learning sponsored by the State. Very complex situation. The issue seemed to bother JFK to the core, as he was obviously not relaxed in his conversation with Mr. Barnett, and mostly feared that Meredith would be shot and killed if he were not given state protection. JFK's subsequent national address is far more calm and relaxed.
You do realize that the per said law was passed after the District Court injunction to admit Mr. Meredith. Also the charge was false voter registration which was a trumped up charge done in absent is. It is the same governed who claimed “No school will be integrated in Mississippi when I am your Governor”. It is plain old racism and evil unchristian hatred
Based on my study, JFK was a total moral crud, awful treatment of women, but as a president, I think, after a rough start, he was very effective in many ways.
