Congratulations from Panama! President Kennedy was beloved in Latin America and the Peace Corps volunteers were very very welcome. The day he was assassinated, workers, students, and people in general cried. It is amazing to see how your society has moved away from the ideals of peace and solidarity since the 1960s.

@@gonzolonzo1383 The draft had been a thing again at the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950. My point is that it was JFK who stepped up America's direct combat roll in Vietnam that eventually turned into a full blown war. The Kennedy tapes dispell the myth that he was trying to disengage us from that conflict. When he came to office there were no more than 2 thousand advisers in Vietnam in non combat rolls. By the time he was Assassinated, their were 14 thousand plus special forces teams conducting counter insegency opts. He had every intention of going to War in Vietnam after the 64 Elections because he ...like Johnson... Was looking for a place to fight a limited war that had very little chance of escalating into a major crisis or conflict with the Soviet Union or Red China. In fact, Kennedy was seriously contemplating bombing China's nuclear facilities to keep them from getting nuclear weapons when he went to Dallas. People forget that not only was John Kennedy responsible for creating the Cuban Missile Crisis by placing Jupiter missiles into into Turkey and Italy a few months prior to the Soviets doing so in Cuba but he also starting the very reckless fiscal policy of relying on foreign lenders to fund unnecessary military spending while giving tax breaks to the top 1 percent to artificially stimulate growth through Government debt. He was actually more like Ronald Reagan than any Republican before or since.
HEY DAVE: I just came across your postings the other day, And This One about JFK IS THE BEST Short Biography Of The Man I've Seen Yet. You Do An EXCELLENT JOB, and I've Already Shared It With A Few of my Friends. There Was GREAT POTENTIAL For The Man, AND, Also For Our Country, had his life Not Been Cut Short So Tragically, (as most of us older folks already realize). While the Glorification today of the Grifter Weasel Trump Is So Ridiculously Out Of Place is Unbelievable. Trump Couldn't Make, (as the old saying goes), A Pimple on JFK's A**. FIVE Stars For You Dave *****, and Keep Up The Good Work.
Great coverage on JFK, Professor Dave! Thanks for a great piece. A few remarks: The astronaut's name was Virgil Grissom; "Gus" was a nickname and the last name ends with an "m," not an "n." The funniest thing about JFK's speech in Berlin is that "Ich bin ein Berliner" literally translates to "I am a jelly-filled donut." What he should have said was simply, "Ich bin Berliner."
While your translation is a possible one, the leaving out of the "ein" would not change its meaning, actually it emphasizes his statement of friendship and support! Luck he did not hold that speech in Vienna. :-p
@@robertlaudensack376, interesting. That bit I learned from my German-speaking friends back in the early 1980s when I lived in, then, West Germany for five years.
@@glennpearson9348 German here. Robert is 100% correct, i like to add: "Ich bin Berliner" would mean unambiguously a citizen of Berlin. "Ich bin ein Berliner" is ambiguous (citizen of Berlin / the jelly filled baked stuff). In the citizen-of-Berlin-meaning its a stronger emphasis like Robert said. The context is obvious. But lets also not forget he spoke in front of actual Berliners. While the bakery thing is called in most parts of Germany "Berliner", in some regions they call it "Krapfen" and in Berlin itself people call it "Pfannkuchen". So in the end pretty unambiguous for actual Berliners. Maybe he got some lols back then by other germans watching TV or reading the news. PS: The rest of Germany uses the word "Pfannkuchen" for a totally different thing: "pan cake".
@@ChaosundSandale, ok. I'm not trying to start an international scandal. Meanings of phrases change over 40 years in Germany, just as they do here in the states. I just always found it amusing.
@@glennpearson9348 If anything in this phrase changed in the last 60 years, then that the name "Berliner" for the bakery thing gained a bit more popularity while "Krapfen" and "Pfannkuchen" decreased a bit. So the double-meaning joke gets bigger over the years. Nowadays you can already order a "Berliner" in a Berlin bakery and they know what you mean. But you will still get rudely yelled at: "Es heißt PFANNKUCHEN!!!!", coz its part of Berlin culture to yell at customers.... This thread made me hungry and I went to a bakery nearby 5min ago and bought me a Berliner. Right next to it I saw another common german bakery item: An "Amerikaner" ("american"). So JFK missed a huge opportunity for a double-double-meaning-joke here. He should have said: "Ich bin ein Amerikaner und ich bin ein Berliner!" I like to conclude my remarks with a german leftist slogan from the 70s: "Wir wollen nicht ein Stück vom Kuchen, wir wollen die ganze Bäckerei!" ("We dont want a piece of the cake, we want the whole bakery!")
Does any viewer remember when President Kennedy saw some college professors carrying protests signs, demanding the end to nuclear testing, in front of the White House, he invited the protestors to the Oval Office and shared coffee and pastries, while listening to their grievances?
Kennedy is my favorite president. So sad he was shot. America would have looked so different, no Vietnam, no maffia, and not the inequality we see today. And Bobby Kennedy would have also been president, he was an inspiring man and orator too.
You are ignoring the fact that we were ALREADY in Vietnam when Kennedy was president. And Kennedy was a lot more popular in the United States after he died than before he died. The polls were showing that the election was going to be close and Kennedy might lose. If he didn't keep Texas for Democrats he would lose. That is why he was in Texas in November 1963, trying to increase his support in Texas.
@@joecombs7468 not ignoring that at all. He was about to pull out. (National Security Memo 263, pentagon papers, vol. 2, pp 769-770.) Jonhson reversed that policy. Besides, after the missles of November his popularity had risen quite a bit. The only ones who hated him more were the biggots of the South. Have a nice day. 👋🏻

YES, I feel the world would have been a very different place had he lived.
Archives digitized by the JFK library show that, five days before Kennedy's assassination, in November 1963, Ambassador Lincoln Gordon recommended the president not to include Brazil in a tour of Latin American countries that he would take in early 1964. Antipathy of the ambassador - who identified Peronist and dictatorial tendencies in Goulart, despite being questioned by the State Department on occasions - is well documented. Today historians also know that the so-called Brother Sam operation - sending a naval force composed of oil tankers, destroyers and the prestigious aircraft carrier USS Forrestal to the Brazilian coast - was planned during the Kennedy administration and carried out in the period of his successor, Lyndon B. Johnson. The fleet would carry crowd control fuels, weapons and gases to bolster the arsenal of anti-Goulart forces.
"It may be different elsewhere but in a democratic society it is the highest duty of the writer, the composer, the artist is to remain true to himself and to let the chips fall where they may. In serving his vision of the truth, the artist best serves his nation." ---------JFK Amherst College 10/26/63
Even with all the coquencidences between JFK and Lincoln, the time both shared in office wasn't among them. JFK was assassinated in his first term whereas Lincoln was assassinated in his second thus we didn't have JFK as president as long as we had Lincoln
NSAM 263 was JFK declaration that he would remove 2,000 US military advisors from Vietnam by December, 1963 and the remaining 16,000 advisors by 1965. There never would have been a Vietnam debacle if JFK had lived.
We can still have presidents younger than Kennedy and T. Rossevelt as the youngest age you can campaign for the position is 35 according to the constitution. Even if you prefer someone with more experience in government it works out as the youngest age you can run for House of Representatives is 25. So someone in the house at 35 can have 10 years in the house before running for president since Congress still doesn't have term limits for the House and senate. And that's just from House and President age standards.
On March 31, 1964, Operation Brother Sam was launched, which, according to the press and documents already in the public domain released by the American government, consisted of the shipment of 100 tons of light weapons and ammunition, oil tankers with a capacity of 130,000 barrels of fuel, a squadron of fighter planes, a helicopter transport ship with a load of 50 helicopters with crew and full armament, a Forrestal-class aircraft carrier, six destroyers, a battleship, plus a troop transport ship, and 25 C-135 planes for transporting military materiel. Gordon wanted the intervention quickly, if the coup had not been successful, Brazil would be invaded, the powerful Caribbean Fleet was between 50 and 12 nautical miles south of Espírito Santo, in the waters near the city of Rio de Janeiro (city).
Nice... Give the alternative theories on his assassination, but don't give your opinion on which you believe? I understand why? You don't want to involve yourself in a protracted argument, as there is no definitive, smoking gun, evidence for who else was involved? There are plenty of indications and some evidence, for all parties you mentioned? My guess is unfortunately it's not something we'll ever get to know for sure, which is tragic! However, I think one thing we can both agree on, is the fact that Oswald couldn't have acted alone? (The footage of the assassination basically debunked that idea. The kill shot could not, under any circumstances, have come from Oswald's position behind JFK) As for who else was involved, I still would've liked to know what your opinion is on who that could've been? Anyway, other than that, this was a refreshing change coming from you Prof, good stuff! 😁
Will the thumbnail of LBJ will be the swearing in as the next president with the Mardel in his hand at Air Force One? which is the most famous (also tragic after what happened to JFK) picture in US History.
Sometimes a history of shortcomings health/physical issues or life style growing up makes a great president as it makes them sympathizers for those of us who don't live in luxury class or those with physical disabilities who struggle with daily life because of our physical limits but in some cases still persevere, as shown with JFK and and FDR with their health/phyiscal issues. But we also got to remember it's not always the case as in the case of President Hoover who grew up poor and rise in class as well as government and yet couldn't get the US out of the Great Depression during his time in office.
During Bay of Pigs the exiles were supposed to land in Trinidad and taken over the airport. I believe it would have been a whole different ball game. Fidel also knew the Americans were coming and arrested thousands of dissidents. Although the Bay of Pigs was a train wreck, he never gave up on trying to get Castro out of power.
You honestly believe it was a single gunman? With all the evidence, that absolutely destroys that single shooter nonsense, the most compelling being: After he leans forward from a bullet entering his back and exiting through his chest, continuing to go through the chair in front of him and hitting the person sat in that chair, lodging in his chest. Which is likely the only shot, fired by Oswald; to actually hit JFK, as he was driving away from Oswald's position. The actual kill shot caused JFK's head to snap back and to the left, something that would not have happened if that Oswald had fired that shot from behind, it could only have come from in front of him! It is physically impossible for a shot from behind, to cause his body to react in that way (his head would've been thrown forward, from the impact of the bullet, just like the shot that hit his chest had caused) and could only ever have been fired from a position in front of him (remember L, his head went back and to the left, caused by the bullet striking his head from the front and left).
@@SamFisher6791 Yes, I believe it only took one man. You don't need a committee. There IS no evidence that absolutely destroys the single shooter. Go read "Case Closed" by Posner.
You're talking about some sort of magic bullet aren't you, @@nebtheweb8885, because that's the only way A SHOT FROM BEHIND (I wish there was a way you could underline things in comments!) because Oswald was in an elevated position and behind the target, the only way that bullet could have caused JFK's head to slam backwards and towards the left, is if the bullet travelled past him and taken a complete 180 degree u-turn in mid air and still maintained the same velocity to cause that reaction from his head. Any shot fired from Oswald's position would've slammed his head downwards and forwards. Exactly like the only shot that Oswald fired, that actually hit JFK's back, caused his body to do, as it exited his chest and lodged in the person in fronts ribcage. Completely impossible, I think you'll agree? Now Posner's theory, if I'm recalling the right author and book, makes my preposterous explanation that I've just given; look completely plausible by comparison. With an even more, physics defying; magical bullet going through 3 people before taking it's U-turn! It's literally impossible for Oswald to have killed JFK, from the position he was in the film footage proves that! Posner's book is a work of pure fiction, nothing more! We have a saying in the UK, "That guy is chattin' f*****g bubbles mate!" (or, he's talking bollocks!)
@@SamFisher6791 He had a sub 6mm entrance wound to the back of his head, which came from an AR15 carried by a secret service agent in the following car.
As i heared, there were two strikes, First was failed but president wounded and taken to the hospital though in second time, unluckinees of the president, the vehicle arrived along the road where gun man is in again. Sadly, the attack was triumphed but the whole world cried since of the president Kennedy's exodus This was been fate to 2 presidents presidents before
Sad that you never put into your submission about Kennedy, that is he held in his teeth an unconscious sailor 1/2 mile to the shore. When the PT109 was hit. Why didn't you.? You really can't get it right.
I’ll be the first. Shots 2 and 3 were almost on top of each other. I was a British marksman. It’s not possible to get three shots off in that timeframe with ‘that’ accuracy, with THAT rifle, that has a cycle time of two seconds. He was literally driven into a killing zone, a triangulation field, where the gunmen were waiting. The kill shot DID come from the front. I’m not saying he wasn’t there, I’m saying he WAS there and fired, but there is no way on earth he did it alone. It’s how we do it.
Six shots in less than five seconds? Do me a favour. Bullets aren’t magic, they operate in a straight line in less than 100 yards until they hit something, they can ricochet sure, but never back on themselves and certainly not three times, making Connolly the most unluckiest recipient in ballistic history. GROW UP, do some research.
science, mathematics and history.
You are a polymath.

Also, Germany is somehow unified and has Silesia and Pomerania
About the consensus for his assassination, who exactly doesn't agree with the fact that Oswald was not a "solitary mad"?
This is what I thought. I think saying that there's no consensus is overstating the legitimacy of some of the weirder alternative theories.
I think that their was something bigger going on and Lee Harvey Oswald was definitely a easy fall guy. “The crazy lone shooter with Communist Sympathies “.

"Ich bin Berliner" would mean unambiguously a citizen of Berlin.
"Ich bin ein Berliner" is ambiguous (citizen of Berlin / the jelly filled baked stuff). In the citizen-of-Berlin-meaning its a stronger emphasis like Robert said.
The context is obvious. But lets also not forget he spoke in front of actual Berliners. While the bakery thing is called in most parts of Germany "Berliner", in some regions they call it "Krapfen" and in Berlin itself people call it "Pfannkuchen". So in the end pretty unambiguous for actual Berliners. Maybe he got some lols back then by other germans watching TV or reading the news.

@@glennpearson9348 If anything in this phrase changed in the last 60 years, then that the name "Berliner" for the bakery thing gained a bit more popularity while "Krapfen" and "Pfannkuchen" decreased a bit. So the double-meaning joke gets bigger over the years. Nowadays you can already order a "Berliner" in a Berlin bakery and they know what you mean. But you will still get rudely yelled at: "Es heißt PFANNKUCHEN!!!!", coz its part of Berlin culture to yell at customers....
This thread made me hungry and I went to a bakery nearby 5min ago and bought me a Berliner. Right next to it I saw another common german bakery item: An "Amerikaner" ("american"). So JFK missed a huge opportunity for a double-double-meaning-joke here. He should have said:
"Ich bin ein Amerikaner und ich bin ein Berliner!"

However, I think one thing we can both agree on, is the fact that Oswald couldn't have acted alone? (The footage of the assassination basically debunked that idea. The kill shot could not, under any circumstances, have come from Oswald's position behind JFK)
As for who else was involved, I still would've liked to know what your opinion is on who that could've been?
Anyway, other than that, this was a refreshing change coming from you Prof, good stuff! 😁
Been watching the presidents series. It feels like that the great leaders were the leaders that put the nation's affairs before their own agendas.
Sir,
You don't reply to the e-mails.
Will the thumbnail of LBJ will be the swearing in as the next president with the Mardel in his hand at Air Force One? which is the most famous (also tragic after what happened to JFK) picture in US History.
Kennedy was also the first president born after 1900.
Soooo John wouldn’t of been here without Australia and some islanders, nice.
How the fuck do you have both parties claiming Kennedy?!?!?! Fucking kennedy!?!??!! Like I can understand Abe Lincoln but fucking Kennedy!?!?!
Republicans always want to take what belongs to others
dave, ur a great teacher and all, but the barracuda infested waters thing was kinda dumb. You as all people should know barracuda aren't a threat lmao
Sometimes a history of shortcomings health/physical issues or life style growing up makes a great president as it makes them sympathizers for those of us who don't live in luxury class or those with physical disabilities who struggle with daily life because of our physical limits but in some cases still persevere, as shown with JFK and and FDR with their health/phyiscal issues. But we also got to remember it's not always the case as in the case of President Hoover who grew up poor and rise in class as well as government and yet couldn't get the US out of the Great Depression during his time in office.
During Bay of Pigs the exiles were supposed to land in Trinidad and taken over the airport. I believe it would have been a whole different ball game. Fidel also knew the Americans were coming and arrested thousands of dissidents. Although the Bay of Pigs was a train wreck, he never gave up on trying to get Castro out of power.

It's pronounced without the 's'. Ask a Laotian -- Lao.
Well if you ask an Italian it's pronounced Italia, but we say Italy. The world pronounces it the way I said it.
In English its pronounced with the S. And we say the English names of countries, not the name used by that country.
Mount Rushmore of the 20th century
Unfortunately died from a hooligan's gun attack, one of the Honourable presidents in USA.
You honestly believe it was a single gunman?
With all the evidence, that absolutely destroys that single shooter nonsense, the most compelling being:
After he leans forward from a bullet entering his back and exiting through his chest, continuing to go through the chair in front of him and hitting the person sat in that chair, lodging in his chest. Which is likely the only shot, fired by Oswald; to actually hit JFK, as he was driving away from Oswald's position. The actual kill shot caused JFK's head to snap back and to the left, something that would not have happened if that Oswald had fired that shot from behind, it could only have come from in front of him!
It is physically impossible for a shot from behind, to cause his body to react in that way (his head would've been thrown forward, from the impact of the bullet, just like the shot that hit his chest had caused) and could only ever have been fired from a position in front of him (remember L, his head went back and to the left, caused by the bullet striking his head from the front and left).
@@SamFisher6791 Yes, I believe it only took one man. You don't need a committee. There IS no evidence that absolutely destroys the single shooter. Go read "Case Closed" by Posner.
You're talking about some sort of magic bullet aren't you, @@nebtheweb8885, because that's the only way A SHOT FROM BEHIND (I wish there was a way you could underline things in comments!) because Oswald was in an elevated position and behind the target, the only way that bullet could have caused JFK's head to slam backwards and towards the left, is if the bullet travelled past him and taken a complete 180 degree u-turn in mid air and still maintained the same velocity to cause that reaction from his head.
Any shot fired from Oswald's position would've slammed his head downwards and forwards. Exactly like the only shot that Oswald fired, that actually hit JFK's back, caused his body to do, as it exited his chest and lodged in the person in fronts ribcage. Completely impossible, I think you'll agree?
Now Posner's theory, if I'm recalling the right author and book, makes my preposterous explanation that I've just given; look completely plausible by comparison. With an even more, physics defying; magical bullet going through 3 people before taking it's U-turn!
It's literally impossible for Oswald to have killed JFK, from the position he was in the film footage proves that!
Posner's book is a work of pure fiction, nothing more!
We have a saying in the UK, "That guy is chattin' f*****g bubbles mate!" (or, he's talking bollocks!)
@@SamFisher6791 He had a sub 6mm entrance wound to the back of his head, which came from an AR15 carried by a secret service agent in the following car.
As i heared, there were two strikes, First was failed but president wounded and taken to the hospital though in second time, unluckinees of the president, the vehicle arrived along the road where gun man is in again. Sadly, the attack was triumphed but the whole world cried since of the president Kennedy's exodus
This was been fate to 2 presidents presidents before
JFK was the most popular since his term
He had a "Gay Best friend" sure "Best friend"
Sad that you never put into your submission about Kennedy, that is he held in his teeth an unconscious sailor 1/2 mile to the shore. When the PT109 was hit. Why didn't you.? You really can't get it right.
Um, what?
He was a great president other hated him
Please make videos only on science, philosophy and math
I'll do whatever I want, thanks.
cool beans
I have a crush on JFK....
He did a great job because nuclear weapons are dangerous for everyone poor military people that no one has respect for them
fun fact: the f was added after his death to pay respect. epic games then paid 50 million dollars to change it to fortnite.
It's Mind blowing how he's talked about like he was a Righteous Great Man. HE was a womanizer born into privilege with under world connections ..
He was born rich and had lots of sex. That makes him a bad person?
1st
A lot of people will disagree with me, but I am convinced JFK’s assassination really was just Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone.
I’ll be the first. Shots 2 and 3 were almost on top of each other. I was a British marksman. It’s not possible to get three shots off in that timeframe with ‘that’ accuracy, with THAT rifle, that has a cycle time of two seconds. He was literally driven into a killing zone, a triangulation field, where the gunmen were waiting. The kill shot DID come from the front. I’m not saying he wasn’t there, I’m saying he WAS there and fired, but there is no way on earth he did it alone. It’s how we do it.
@@sphericalempirical9359 that's very interesting.
@@diverguy3556
Guess you’ll have to take my word then won’t you.
@@sphericalempirical9359 It only took one man to do the job. No need to overcomplicate. The kill shot came from the BACK. Gerald Posner, Case Closed.
@@nebtheweb8885
Six shots in less than five seconds? Do me a favour. Bullets aren’t magic, they operate in a straight line in less than 100 yards until they hit something, they can ricochet sure, but never back on themselves and certainly not three times, making Connolly the most unluckiest recipient in ballistic history. GROW UP, do some research.
he reminds me Trump
Trump couldn't carry his jock. Fuck Trump and his treason
