The
Assassination of President Kennedy—Solved at Last!!
|
In 1960, Richard
Nixon was supposed to be elected the 35th President of the United States. Nixon
was Vice President under President Eisenhower for 8 years and served his long
apprenticeship well. The country prospered greatly during the Eisenhower
administration and Nixon would have continued the policies of his
predecessor.

During his 8
years in office, General Eisenhower had life threatening health problems because
he refused to cooperate with the war mongers at the Pentagon!!
President
Eisenhower came to the Presidency at a very dangerous time in history. The Cold
War with the Soviet Union was at its height, and President Eisenhower, as
commander in chief, had the final say about the use of nuclear weapons.

is always staffed with Pentagon doctors and stationed at the White House.

There was
absolutely no reason why Richard Nixon was not elected President in 1960. He had
8 years of valuable foreign policy experience, and also served in the military
during World War II. Despite his failing health, President Eisenhower campaigned
for Nixon:
On the day after the election, the President was bitterly disappointed at Nixon's defeat and so upset that his blood pressure was elevated and his pulse irregular. Snyder later reported that the muscular and joint pains Eisenhower experienced around this time were caused by "the shock to the President's emotional system as a result of the election." A few weeks later, Eisenhower's abdomen was badly distended once again, and he was in great discomfort. (Gilbert, The Mortal Presidency, p. 116).
Had Nixon been
elected, there would have been no Vietnam War, no Berlin Wall, no MOON LANDING
LUNACY, no Cuban Missile Crisis, no 25th (Rockefeller) Amendment, and hopefully
no Kennedy "royal" family.
President Kennedy's first marriage!!
In 1933, Joe
Kennedy bought a mansion in Palm Beach, Florida—a playground of the rich and
famous. Across the street lived the George H. Malcolm family. They had a
beautiful and vivacious, but twice divorced daughter named Durie. Jack Kennedy
married Durie on January 24, 1947.

Kennedy Senior
was FURIOUS when he heard about the marriage. At that time, a divorced man—no
matter how rich—had absolutely no chance of making it to the White House. Nelson
Rockefeller—whose family owned the United States—knew that all too
well.
Joe Kennedy had
all traces of the marriage removed, and Durie was offered a substantial sum to
buy her silence....As a further COVER-UP, she was quickly married in New Jersey
to a Thomas Shelvin in July of that same year.
Ambassador Kennedy had a stroke while playing "golf" with his chauffeur!!
Ambassador
Kennedy—the father of President Kennedy—was worth at least 100 million dollars
by 1940. The ambassador made his millions by manipulating the stock market,
booze, and Hollywood movies.
He was determined
to get one of his sons into the White House no matter what the cost . . . or the
health problems.
When his oldest
son, Joe Jr., died on a suicide mission over England, the White House quest
devolved upon his next oldest son, Jack.

 Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy (1890-1995). |
Kennedy matriarch
Rose was a fanatical member of the Latin Church. In 1952, she was made a Papal
countess by Pope Pius XII.
Her biggest
thrill in life was attending mass, counting beads, and having her children
elected to high office. Despite her husband's millions, she was a
skinflint, and after she was made a Papal countess, she demanded that
the household servants call her MADAME.
The Kennedys
spent the winter in their Palm Beach mansion. During the Presidency of JFK it
was called the Florida White House:

On December 19,
1961, The President's father, after driving his son to the airport, went
"golfing" with his beautiful chauffeur niece, Ann Gargan.

Saunders, and Ann Gargan. |

After the stroke,
his wife Rose IGNORED him for about 4 hours, and then eventually called the
doctor....Here is a report from Kennedy's chauffeur Frank Saunders:
It was six-days till Christmas. When Mrs. Kennedy returned to the house around noon after mass and errands, she was told Mr. Kennedy was in bed.
This time Ann, was really worried. She explained to her aunt what had happened on the golf course, trying hard to keep calm. Mr. Kennedy had gone faint while they were playing the back nine and had had to rest on a bench, Ann said. After that Uncle Joe had difficulty balancing himself. He walked like a drunk. She'd gotten him into the golf cart, then her car, and she had driven him right home. He seemed confused. (Saunders, Torn Lace Curtain, p. 108).
Rose Kennedy put
her husband to bed and then she went out to play golf.... It wasn't
until late afternoon that the doctor was called. Here is another report from Frank
Saunders:
Later that morning I snuck into Mr. Kennedy's bedroom.
"How you feeling, Chief? You feel all right?" I asked. He made a noise in his throat indicating that he did. But he didn't sound all right. He didn't look all right either. "He doesn't look too good to me," I told Ann. She gave me a quick sympathetic look and shook her head. Neither his wife nor his niece wanted to call the doctor, I guessed.
Mrs. Kennedy looked in on her husband again after her lunch.
I was in and out of the house quite a few times during lunchtime, and when I inquired how the boss was doing I was told that, instead of snapping out of it, he was getting worse.
Mrs. Kennedy still planned to play golf that afternoon.
Finally they called for a doctor. The doctor came at once and they wasted no time. They put the president's father on a stretcher and wheeled him to an ambulance. Ann got in with him. As the ambulance pulled out into the boulevard its lights began flashing. (Saunders, Torn Lace Curtain, p. 109).
According to the
teachings of Rome, committing adultery or breaking any of the 10 Commandments is
OK as long as you confess yours sins to a priest.
Joe Kennedy might
have gotten a special LICENSE TO SIN because he gave so much money to the
Church.

 Rose Kennedy survived to be 105. |
The President's
father was completely paralyzed on the right side and unable to walk or talk.
Because his daughter Rosemary was a little slow in learning, father Joe had
surgeons perform a prefrontal lobotomy on her:
The irony of the stroke was in Joe's appearance. Half a century earlier he had allowed surgeons to give his daughter Rosemary a prefrontal lobotomy that had gone poorly. Her mind had been nearly destroyed, but more obvious were changes in her face and body. Joe, like his daughter, now had partial facial paralysis, a tendency to drool, a partially crippled body, and the inability to make intelligible statements. The obvious external damage Joe Kennedy had sustained was exactly the same as that of the child he had hidden away for five decades. (Schwarz, Joseph P. Kennedy, p. 425).

After his stroke,
Ambassador Kennedy suffered the same mental and physical maladies as his
daughter, and he went to meet his Maker on November 18, 1969.
President Kennedy had serious medical problems for most of his life!!
After the death
of his oldest son, Joe Jr., Ambassador Kennedy relentlessly pushed his second
son Jack toward the Presidency . . . even though he had life threatening medical
problems.
In the spring of
1941, John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy tried to enlist in the army but was
rejected because of his bad back. His father pulled some strings and he was
finally accepted into the navy. In 1943, his ship was rammed by a Japanese
destroyer, and John emerged as a WAR HERO.
When his older
brother Joe heard of his new status as a WAR HERO, he had to go one better. Joe
volunteered for a suicide mission and was killed in a plane crash. Despite his
ill health, Jack had to pick up the mantle of his dead brother.
Jack Kennedy was
so sick in London that he was actually given the Last Rites in 1947:
While on a visit to London in the fall of 1947, Congressman Kennedy became so seriously ill with weakness, nausea, vomiting, and low blood pressure that he was given the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church. The physician who examined him diagnosed his condition as Addison's disease and told one of Kennedy's friends that "he hasn't got a year to live." Arthur Krock, however, remembered being told by Joseph Kennedy, even before his son first ran for Congress in 1946, that Jack had Addison's disease and was probably dying. Krock related that Joseph Kennedy "wept sitting in the chair opposite me in the office." If Krock's memory was accurate, it would appear that John Kennedy contracted Addison's disease somewhat earlier than previously thought. Indeed, this might well explain Kennedy's illness during his first campaign for the House of Representatives, when he collapsed during the final campaign event, a parade in Charlestown, sweating heavily and his skin discolored. (Gilbert, The Mortal Presidency, p. 154).
Kennedy's serious
medical problems were known to many before his election:
As he battled Lyndon B. Johnson for the Democratic presidential nomination, some of Johnson's allies made reference to Kennedy's Addison's disease and used it as an argument against his nomination. India Edwards, a southern Democratic party leader, told a group of reporters that "Kennedy was so sick from Addison's disease that he looked like a spavined hunchback."' She also asserted that doctors had told her that were it not for cortisone, Kennedy would be dead. Another prominent Johnson ally, campaign manager John Connolly, charged that, if nominated and elected, Kennedy "couldn't serve out the term" since "he was going to die" (Gilbert, The Mortal Presidency, p. 157).
Kennedy's ill
health was covered up, and thanks to his father's millions, he became the 35th
President of the United States on January 20, 1961.

Here are the 5
main reasons for the assassination of President Kennedy:
| 1. |
Make a martyr
of Kennedy to break down the opposition to the Latin Church in the United
States.
|
| 2. |
Make a martyr
of Kennedy to obscure the assassination of President Lincoln.
|
| 3. |
Amend the
Constitution to allow Nelson
Rockefeller to become President by appointment only!!
|
| 4. |
President
Kennedy had plans to fire J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI—Federal Bureau of
Inquisition.
|
| 5. |
President
Kennedy had plans to drop Lyndon
Johnson as his Vice President in 1964.
|
Immediately after
the assassination, many amazing "coincidences" were noted between the
assassination of Kennedy and Lincoln.
Dr. Janet Travell kept President Kennedy alive!!
Kennedy first
visited Dr. Travell at her office in New York City on May 26, 1955:
At our first meeting, the thin young Senator on crutches could barely navigate the few steps down from the sidewalk into my ground floor office. Left sided pain in his back and leg made it almost impossible for him to bear weigh on that foot, and a stiff right knee since a football injury in his youth made it difficult for him to step up or down with his weight on the right leg, because that required bending the right knee. He had come with Dr. Shorr by taxi, and the taxi driver helped him down the steps. (Travell, Office Hours: Day and Night, pp. 5-6).
It was in Dr.
Travell's office that Kennedy first noticed the famous rocking chair:
The Senator sat in an old-style, North Carolina porch rocker with woven cane seat and back. The office was quiet and unhurried. He asked a few questions, always to the point. How long would the improvement in the motion of his knee last? He was understandably skeptical. He was not prepared to accept readily one more doctor and another kind of treatment. Seven months earlier he had undergone a lumbar spine fusion, after which a local infection had developed, and about four months later the metal fusion plate had been removed in a second operation. His crutches had been a familiar sight in the Senate during the summer of a year ago, and now he was still obliged to use them. Could he face another hospital? (Travell, Office Hours: Day and Night, p. 6).
When he entered
the White House, President Kennedy insisted that Dr. Travell should be his White
House Physician and senior to the Pentagon doctor, Admiral George Burkley.

was time for his assassination.
She was discreet
and never spoke to the press about the President's health.

Just before the
assassination, rumors began to circulate that she had resigned from her position
because her treatments were actually hurting the President.
Red roses from Texas!!
President
Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline arrived at Dallas Love Field airport on Nov. 22,
1963.

Mrs. Kennedy later said
this about the bouquet of RED roses:
Three times that day in Texas we were greeted with bouquets of the yellow roses of Texas. Only in Dallas they gave me red roses. I remember thinking: How funny—red roses for me," the First Lady was to say when at last she was able to look back on things quietly (Gun, Red Roses from Texas, p. 100).
The assassination of
President Kennedy took place in Dallas, Texas, on Nov. 22. 1963.

Vice President Johnson took the oath of office on a Roman missal!!
A Roman Catholic
missal is a book containing all the prayers and responses necessary for
celebrating the mass throughout the year. That is the book that Johnson used . .
. instead of the Bible!!

Lyndon
Johnson was sworn in as President by Judge Sarah T. Hughes just hours after the
assassination. Judge Hughes brought a small Bible for the swearing in ceremony,
but it was substituted for a Roman Missal (Mass book) that was found on
the plane. . . .This was a completely illegal act as the President of
the Unites States must take the oath of office with his hand on the
Bible before he is the lawful President.... President Lincoln and President Truman
kissed the Bible when they were sworn in.
Here is a report by free lance
journalist and writer Nerin E. Gun:

We must wait for Mrs Kennedy," said Lyndon Johnson. "She is bringing her husband's coffin."
Someone commented that Mrs Kennedy's presence at the ceremony would in a way confirm the continuity of the régime; she would, so to speak, "legitimise" the new president.
At 2:18 p.m. Jacqueline Kennedy arrived. Three Secret Service men, and some soldiers, carried the coffin to the back of the plane—but still in the passenger cabin. Jacqueline sat down beside it.
When Johnson took the Oath, Army Captain Cecil Stoughton, official photographer at the White House, recorded the scene on a special 50 mm camera. He took nine photos. Three journalists boarded the plane, as representing the world press.
Jacqueline was on Johnson's left, as the latter repeated the Constitutional formula after Judge Hughes. The woman judge was trembling; she did not use the Bible she had brought with her, but a small Catholic Missal, found in the plane near Kennedy's bed.
Johnson gently kissed Jacqueline on the cheek, then his wife. Then he said firmly: "Now let's take the plane back to Washington. (Gun, Red Roses from Texas, p. 183).
Johnson said that
he never felt better on the day of Kennedy's assassination:
On Air Force One, Johnson had taken the oath of office from judge Sarah T. Hughes. The photos clearly show a solemn new president beside the still shocked widow undertaking his new job with deep regret, all as he should. Then, as he completed the oath and officially assumed the mantle of president, he could not contain himself. The last photo in the series shows him with his face turned, the back left side of his face deeply creased with a big smile, apparently winking at longtime colleague Congressman Albert Thomas, who was there as a witness. The congressman winked back, and Lady Bird smiled. As he would later candidly say, on that day "I never felt better." (McClellan, Blood, Money and Power, p. 212).
Dr. Travell was completely excluded from the President's autopsy!!
After the
President was assassinated, he was immediately flown to Bethesda Naval Hospital
where the Pentagon took complete charge of the autopsy. Dr. Travell was
completely ignored.

Dr. Travell was
kept in the background after the assassination:
In the West Wing, the Presidential office was being dismantled. During the night, I walked from the Mansion past the shadowy Rose Garden, and I saw the familiar mementos being trundled away. By Saturday morning, the Oval Room was bare of furniture, books, and the paintings of ships. Only the blood-red new rug remained that Jacqueline Kennedy had planned for her husband's return. He never used it. It was a piece in the mosaic of life and death. (Travell, Office Hours: Day and Night, p. 428).
Dead men tell no tales!!
The entire
assassination was a set-up with a lone assassin named Lee Harvey Oswald
arrested as the perpetrator. Just like Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth, he
was conveniently liquidated before he could talk.

The funeral of President Kennedy
Mrs. Kennedy took charge
of the funeral arrangements. She had a copy of a book on the funeral of
President Lincoln brought to her and she ordered it to be followed
exactly— even to the design of the catafalque in the White House. . . .

assassination, Kennedy was compared to Lincoln, and many people noticed the
amazing coincidences in the lives . . . and violent deaths . . . of the two
Presidents.
The myth of Camelot
During the
Kennedy administration, the media began to refer to the White House as
CAMELOT.
Here is the
dictionary definition of Camelot:
1. the legendary site of King Arthur's palace and court, possibly near Exeter, England.
2. any idyllic place or period, esp. one of great happiness.
3. the glamorous ambience of Washington, D.C., during the administration of President John F. Kennedy, 1961–63.
Kennedy was
depicted as a devoted family man and his wife as a paradigm of virtue. Nothing
could be further from the truth. "Camelot" was more like the infamous Court of
the Borgias.
It is doubtful if
Kennedy was even LEGALLY married to Jackie:
 Durie Malcolm (first wife of Jack Kennedy). |
|
 Jackie Kennedy (second wife of the President). |
Jack was being groomed
to take the place of his dead brother Joe in the quest for the White House. The
ambassador had a fit when he found out about the wedding. Father Joe had all the
money and Jack did not have the COURAGE to defy his father:
Even in early 1947, Spalding said, it was clear that Jack was being groomed and financed for the White House by his father. Joe Kennedy had "a hemorrhage" when he learned about the marriage, Spalding told me. Malcolm, besides being twice divorced, was Episcopalian. "He demanded that it be taken care of," Spalding recalled. "They [the family] were afraid the whole thing was going to come out.
"I went out there and removed the [marriage] papers," Spalding told me, presumably from the Palm Beach County courthouse. "It was Jack who asked me if I'd go get the papers." Spalding said he "got" the marriage documents with the help of a lawyer in Palm Beach.
Florida law requires no blood test before a couple can apply for a marriage license. Prior to 1983, however, couples making application had to wait three days for a license to be issued. If Jack Kennedy and Durie Malcolm followed the law, their wedding was planned at least three days in advance and thus was more than a spur-of-the-moment "prank," as Charles Spalding claimed (Hersh, The Dark Side of Camelot, pp. 327-328).
Traphes Bryant
was an electrician at the White House and later the official kennel keeper. He
witnessed an endless procession of women secretely visiting the White
House . . . but not to discuss politics with the President.

During his
Presidency, Kennedy had an endless procession of women in the White House. Many
times they went skinny dipping with Kennedy in the White House pool. It was said
that his overwhelming sex drive was due to the cortisone shots. Here is a report
by the White House kennel keeper:
President Kennedy certainly seemed to enjoy his women. I don't know for sure about Marilyn Monroe, but I did hear backstairs talk, after he was dead, that during his visits to California he had enjoyed a few discreet meetings with her at a private home.
I never saw her around the White House and I never heard talk of her being either an official or "O.R."-off the record-guest there in his administration, even though she once sang "Happy birthday, Mr. President, happy birthday to you" to him in New York's Madison Square Garden.
But this much I can tell you: he did enjoy having beautiful women around him at the White House and he did entertain them when Jackie was away. There was a conspiracy of silence to protect his secrets from Jacqueline and to keep her from finding out. The newspapers would tell how First Lady Jacqueline was off on another trip, but what they didn't report was how anxious the President sometimes was to see her go. And what consternation there sometimes was when she returned unexpectedly.
I remember one time it was a beautiful tall blond girl skinny dipping in the pool with him. JFK liked to swim nude and so did some of the girls who popped in to visit him. But this particular girl must have been just waiting for the First Lady to be on her way. She came in the South West Gate and straight to the South Portico, and a trusted aide met her there. He walked her through the Diplomatic Room and along the Colonnade, as if he were taking her to the President's office, but instead he took her to the gymnasium, where she shed her clothes and went to the pool.
Jack Kennedy was already there, lounging naked beside the pool and sipping a daiquiri. Sometimes one or two from a group of trusted staff aides and friends would join Kennedy in the pool, and often there would be just one other male and female to make up a foursome. This time there were several girls and several male friends. (Bryant, Dog Days at the White House, p. 22).
Marilyn Monroe and Judith
Campbell Exner were just 2 of the women who had adulterous affairs with
Kennedy.

All this
womanizing seemed to mask a much more SINISTER side to Jack Kennedy. The daily
cortisone shots alone cannot explain his adulterous relations with so many
women.
President Kennedy and Lem Billings
Kennedy had a
boyfriend named Kirk LeMoyne Billings—known to everybody as Lem.
Their friendship went back to their days as classmates at Choate School
for Boys in Wallingford, Connecticut. Lem traced his ancestry back to the
Pilgrims, and the Kennedys were flattered by his love for Jack because
they had tried unsuccessfully to break into Boston high society.

The Office of the
Presidency has a tremendous influence on the morals of the people of the United
States . . . and the entire world. That is why Satan is pushing his perverted
homosexual agenda from the highest office in the land.
Jack Kennedy had
numerous female lovers . . . but he preferred to sleep with his boyfriend
Lem Billings.
Here is a report
from Rose Kennedy's chauffeur Frank Saunders. When Frank first started working
as a chauffeur, he missed picking up Joe Kennedy at the airport, so he was
afraid of losing his job:
I hadn't heard any such thing, not from Johnny Ford or any member of the family. But as far as the help was concerned, Rose Kennedy's absence was a bonus. "Count your blessings, Frank," one of the maids said. I kept silent. Besides, I was still not certain how much longer I'd have the chauffeur job. I'd had trouble falling asleep the night before, still thinking about the incident in the driveway with Mr. Kennedy and how I was sure I had lost the Kennedy job just as it was beginning. I figured Mr. Kennedy would wait until this Memorial Day weekend reunion with his son was over and then put the kibosh on me.
Then there was some talk about my having stayed up until after one to meet the president. I made the mistake of asking who this friend Lem Billings was. "Oh, him! He's always here," Dora Lawrence said. "I think he sleeps with Jack more than Jacqueline does," she said.
This was all so new to me, I did not know what the maid was talking about. And evidently I showed it. The maid laughed, a kind of half laugh. "President Kennedy doesn't like to sleep alone, Frank. Lem Billings is an old school chum, and he's always with him," she said. (Saunders, Torn Lace Curtain, pp. 45-46).
Lem Billings had
his very own room at the White House. Here is a quote from Lemmings biographer,
David Pitts:
As the administration got under way, Lem came to Washington almost every weekend, flying down from New York, where he was still working for Lennen & Newell. He stayed at the White House so often that he was given his own room on the third floor. He would leave some of his belongings there, so it effectively became Lem's room. No one else stayed in it. "Lem was in and out of the White House almost as much as the White House usher, and some people saw him so much they thought he was the Secret Service," said Jack's aide Dave Powers. (Pitts, Jack & Lem, p. 192).
That Billings
knew Jack intimately is verified by his own words:
Asked a year after Jack died why they were so close despite their differing interests and temperaments, and why their friendship had changed so little over the years, Lem said, "I suppose it must have changed a little, but I probably spent more time with him than any of his friends, even during his years in the presidency. . . . He relaxed with me because I didn't really talk to him about any political matters, or any of the matters he had on his mind all during his workweek, and I mean this from the time he was congressman on through the presidency. I don't know that we had a lot of things in common. I guess just the fact that we'd known each other intimately for thirty-two years is a pretty strong bond in itself, so I felt that I understood him, understood his sense of humor and he understood mine. I guess, just by habit, that we continued to enjoy each other. It's very easy to see why I enjoyed him. I suppose that he felt the same way. I think that was it. Probably having me around was relaxing, because he knew me so well. I don't know what else it was." (Pitts, Jack & Lem, p. 218).
East meets West with Jackie and Ari!!
Jackie was
not blind to her husband's homosexual relationship with Lem Billings .
. . and his frequent adulteries.
She got her
revenge by having affairs of her own. A close "friend" of Jackie was Greek
multimillionaire
shipping magnate, Aristotle
Onassis:

the role of dutiful loving spouse. That charade ended with her husband's
assassination just a month later.

Skorpios. The couple stayed married, despite often living apart, until
Aristotle's death in 1975.

President Kennedy in Arlington National Cemetery.

Editor's Note
The
first book on the assassination of President Kennedy was Red Roses from
Texas by Nerin E. Gun. No publisher in the U.S. would touch his book so it
was printed in London....A used copy will cost you about $500.00
dollars.....That's right, $500.00 dollars!!
