"The great thing about my Dad is how he's always for me. He may not always agree with everything I do, but as soon as I do anything, there's my Dad saying, 'Smartest move you ever made. You really got them on the run.' "
John F. Kennedy commenting on his father
Actually Joe Kennedy made his fortune from what we today call insider trading.
LBF522 Yep & also dutch Shutz re: bootlegging as well, this is fact ?
J. KENNEDY CREATED A HOMMAGE TO HIMSELF CALLED THE ZAPRUDER FILM...MARINA IN WONDERLAND...
Dont be a Sheep Made his fortune from Bootlegging first Dude. Period.
LBF522: that's what i heard, too...he made a fortune with the stock market crash of 1929...through "insider trading." He got filthy rich somehow...and wasn't afraid to use his wealth to manipulate others. He was also involved with Hollywood...affair with Gloria Swanson, etc. Shady character.
@@7071t6 no he waz not a bootlegger that was a lie created by Nixon plus he passed Fbi checks
Mark Twain: It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.
OldJoe Kennedy was a brilliant business man. People were jealous of that fact. If he was in fact mixed up with women in a fashion he would not want advertised then that was between him and his wife.
Actually, the bootlegger thing got started in 1960 late in the Presidential campaign. A privately published pamphlet by a Birchite was circulating claiming this, referencing somebody named Kennedy who was once arrested for rum running during prohinition, between Canada an the U.S. The hope was in the short time before the election it would not be found out that this person was not, and no relation to, the candidate's father, and the election would be swayed. Didn't work, and it was forgotten until the 70's, when it was resurrected by certain scurrilous pseudo-journalists and various mis/dis-informationalists.
Joseph P. Kennedy was a Hero!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
True founded a powerful political dynasty
We didnt come to see to old grumpy men tell stories of old times, we came to see a documentary on Joseph Kennedy, preferably less than 5 minutes long.
Thank you.
Joe Kennedy was going to right all wrongs. His ambition was fiery. He could sense profit. God be kind to him.
It's hard enough to establish the motives of people for their actions in the present day - those people who we know well. We aren't to know the true motives, intentions, beliefs etc of people like Joseph Kennedy.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and his children gave their lives, some figuratively and some literally for the greater good.
It is not for us to judge him, or anyone for that matter.
I was born in 1960, and never cared for Nixon, but I will say THIS: a Nixon win may have kept us out of Vietnam. Sure-he was a McCarthyist, but he was less reckless. JFK's attitude was that nobody was going to out-anti-Communist him. He did Nothing to stop the Bay of Pigs adventure. He wanted Castro out, regardless of what Cubans wanted. In a similar vein, he really overreacted to the Cuban Missiles. WE had missiles pointing at the USSR in Afghanistan and Turkey, but they Dare not do that to US! I was two years old at the time, but my Late Dad worried that I'd never see Three (due to Nuclear holocaust.) He was a Smart Scientist and also knew that the ICBM was around the corner anyhow (as well as Trident missiles) so the whole thing was Moot. He didn't want a massive US troop buildup in 'Nam, but increased the advisors there to 20,000.
On Civil rights, Kennedy said little and did nothing. Johnson wasn't Great on that issue in Texas, but he DID get the national legislation passed in 1964.
If Nixon had lost in '64, we could have had a Good Democrat, or maybe JFK, at that time. More importantly, Nixon would not have been president later in the sixties, expanded the War to Cambodia and Laos, and been brought down by Watergate.
Kennedy let the CIA plan and execute the Bay of pigs fiasco. They didn't do their homework and we had no moral right to overthrow Catro anymore than when we sent in 42,000 marines to overthrow a legally elected government in the Dominican Republic in April, 1965!!! Both parties have been guilty of our shameful foreign policy particularly in this hemisphere!!!!
@@jayrosen6663 Yes, Jay...the latter was LBJ, of course. We didn't care, because it was a cakewalk, and no US troops were involved.
Ask yourself how Kennedy Sr. Made his fortune. How?
Charles M Rinehart: insider trading and shady deals
Freemasonary
Being in with the mafia
Please don't be disappointed with me if you can avoid it, but I have vast material disproving the views proposed in this video. The author above may revise his conclusions as much as he wishes, but he won't convince anyone unless he also does this for the evidence others have chosen to base their conclusions on. This is nothing personal at all. I have access to a corpus of information on this topic and the balance is not in this author's favor.
Ironically, he was an excellent SEC chairman!!
So in other words you have absolute faith in "journalism" when it supports a notion that happens to please you and dismiss it on the other hand as "manipulation" and "propaganda" when it seeks to debunk that notion. Interesting contradiction, but I guess any circle can be squared in the mind some folks.
Insider trading although legal at the time was stilk immoral and unethical so bootlegging wouldnt have bothered his consious. He had a liquor importing business immediatly before and after prohibition so you fill in the gap.
He had no liquor business before prohibition, only after.
Joe Kennedy is or would be... the equivalent of Pablo Escobar's son and family moving to Miami in the 80's...with political aspirations...
Richard Nixon hated the Kennedy's with a burning passion! Very jealous of their whole aura. If Dick was still alive and said good morning to you...you could even take that with a grain of salt.
The Kennedy family , everything from the old man Joe to Ted , there was no Kennedy curse , it's called what they deserved , it's called Karma , for what they did to the , living , the innocent , the trusting , the mob , the government and mostly to Marilyn Monroe who Robert and John Kennedy killed 💔 , Marilyn got the last laugh ,
😘☮️💕😇💕We all still love you and will never forget you our
Marilyn Monroe 💕our 🕯️ candle in the wind 😇💕
Excuse me???
Don’t forget what he did to his own daughter, what a narcissist monster Joe Kennedy was
If so, then you should publish a book refuting the author or write an article for a magazine based on the vast amount of information you've compiled. At the very least, you should engage Nasaw in some kind of debate rather than wasting your time commenting on RUclips.
Oceania was at war with Eurasia: therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.
ps--Senator?...President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., father of President John F. Kennedy, to serve as the first Chairman of the SEC
thawthepast: I read a quote from FDR that said that he chose Kennedy to head the SEC because..."it takes a thief to catch the thieves." He made his fortune through "insider trading" when the market crashed in 1929. There are plenty of resources to prove this.
3:36 - Host seems to minimize Wikipedia, an international collaboration that challenges oligarchical knowledge sources.
"Senator" Joseph Kennedy?
Most Truth is like knowledge, it depends upon where you place your perspective and how encompassing your scope is. There are truths that are valid in any context. They are called constants.
As for my communication; it is on its way. Then everything will be different.
he was no Prescott Bush.
Norbu_ Thank God he wasnt.
Yeah, don't let pesky "facts" get in the way of your ignorance.
Bootlegger means a person lobbying. Not sure we had the word lobbyist back then.
So you believe what you want to believe and the sources that support your preconceived notions. Anything that doesn't mesh with your beliefs is corrupt or unreliable. Unfortunately, that's part of the problem with the world these days... too many people think the way you do and draw from very narrow silos of information that pleasingly stroke their prejudices.
Disney / Kennedy / Huxley / Lewis._. 1963 Kennedy Os/Oz enigma._. Thanks for the tip ._.
Kennedy assassination was staged by Disney and an Os/Oz enigma._.
Is there any other family out there to talk about in this country? Who decided the Kennedys were the Royalty of America. Joseph Kennedy was a Son of Patrick Kennedy who owned a Pub/ Bar after this family left Ireland. Joe was accepted at Harvard and was kept out of the Brahman clubs because of his background. It.drove him so angry that it motivated him into making loads of money. First as a bootlegger of liquor , then went into banking , became a huge supporter Of FDR. Became Ambassador to St James in Britain. Much more to the story. Had connections to the underworld and became the Rich Royalty of America.. This family has a lot of scandalous history too. But so does The Monarchy of Britain especially lately. So I thought you were born into being a Royal across the world.. Guess not here since we don’t have Kings and Queens , but Presidents and First Ladies. Please find another Family since is been way to long talking about this one..
Mocking the job titles of sources does not make them any less a source. It exposes the one doing the mocking as a shill...
Yes, well the "truth" can be a rather tricky thing as anyone that engages in theological discussions can attest to. There is little that's constant in the world except for constancy of change.
Should be interesting to see how your efforts proceed.
Manna...what is it? Round like a coriander seed. Regardless of man's point of view manna never changes. Truth never changes. It is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
I meant relative to the other means of communicating your vast corpus of information dealing with the TRUTH about the elder Kennedy rather than just prattling on RUclips
What you do (or don't) is of no concern whatsoever to me.
That was the news back then ludicrous analogies.
Mafia Joe - Capo di tutti capi
There was a joe Kennedy from Canada that imported liqueur and it said joe Kennedy ltd on the bottle so they used it to label Kennedy
Insider trading, real estate, Hollywood and other enterprises!!
1:57 I trust those sources.
Those sources were around to hear these things...
winkipida does not show any early life on don mclian,why??
How is commenting on RUclips a waste of my time?
Also, why is that of your concern?
What a pack of lies. We all know this is not true.
Really ??
How??
Were you and the all you mention , close to Joseph Kennedy ??
This man echoes what robert kennedy jr recently said
It's brilliant that youtube commenters are putting their photos on their profiles; I have such great images of all the comment arguments
Thanks for giving up your privacy for no reason guys
Absence of proof is not proof of absence
hahahha still pushing the camalot bs i c
Maybe not Chicago but what about West Virginia?
I worked with a joe Kennedy in 2003, he wasnt irish and i live in england, also Tottenham beat newcastle 4-1
Joseph P was not a senator.
Is that Los Angeles dialect D Nasaw is speaking here ?
Thank you for sharing this information and facts. I am sick of hearing that Joe was a bootlegger. I also want to thank you for debunking all the other nonsense. Those bastards make me sick.
Propaganda pure!
More people telling us what we should think and what being trendy is!
If I can tell my friends this story, then I'll be smart to them. BUNK!
Calling the legacy organized crime establishment in Chicago "the Mafia" and not "The Outfit" calls into question the speaker's credibility. How, in fact, did Joseph Kennedy operate?
Was he an anti-semite?
I never understood the love of Kennedy and not the fact that people should have realized his dad and he were likely mob connected.
Moo moo moo
