    The legacy of the Kennedy family is a facade created by the parents. The mother and father truly did a number on the nine children in the family. I once despised JFK for his unscrupulous activities, but in the years since I’ve come to feel empathy for him. His parents tormented him to the nth degree. It’s amazing the JFK was able to rise above the abuse his parents reaped on him to have compassion for anyone. Regrettably that compassion wasn’t extended to his wife until the last year of his life after the death of their infant son. Again, the result of the emotional deficiencies of his parents. “American Royal Family” is not a title I would attach to this screwed up family.

America and the world wouldn't be the same place without it... and yes JFK wasn't a saint like he's made out to be...he had faults and suffered from the disease of addiction .. like most people with great responsibility on their shoulders and anyone who believes the Kennedy's were crooks needs to understand the game of politics at the time and then you understand the playing field it's not how you get there that matters, but what you do when you get there that makes the world of difference..he dove into a sesspool .. but if you think about the relationship between the agency and the mob you get the picture that in order to be the biggest dog in town you have to fight the other dogs in town first and establish your position... even the use of proxy forces in the middle East stems from the pro- Castro cubins and the anti- Castro cubins and then out of the fallout you get your Intel by playing both sides against the middle... And you know that Kennedy wanted to get rid of this strategy .. and not let the agency run rough shot over the world and keep it under the joint cheifs of staff... And had he would have lived you wouldn't have this mess in the world today.. and when Bobby Kennedy won the California primary it sealed his fate... and would have made the entire conspiracy and cover-up of his brothers death completely pointless and a waste of time..I don't think it would be an overstatement to say that Bobby Kennedy was actually the VP and Johnson was just the VP for all intensive purposes and for appearances sake... because Bobby Kennedy and Jack were a team presidency and when those Senate judiciary committees were formed and you had both brothers side by side it hit home to everyone around them and Johnson would have been dropped from the ticket... and who would be the most likely candidate for VP ..it would definitely be someone in the administration who is already close to the family

      Not bootlegging. He owned liquor businesses after it became legal. The real money-maker for him was he dodged the stock market crash of 1929. He sold his shares by then and invested in real estate which this video already says. Being a stock broker and a banker during his era meant instant money. His real controversies include rosemary Kennedy, his anti-semite views, defeatist views during Roosevelt's first campaign, and his family-friendly relationship with Joseph McCarthy. Through his life he made a huge push to get his sons elected being John F. Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, and Robert Kennedy.
