Why the Elite Hated JFK

• 1:03:16When Kennedy was shot, the FBI and CIA hated him and thought he was a danger — they were thrilled, but of course couldn't say so.
• 1:03:43Kennedy was shaking things up against the CIA, and the question of whether civil rights and racial factors, not just economics, played a role in his opposition by the elite.
• 1:04:10Kennedy has been misrepresented by the media, and Russ Baker's book presents facts that conflict with what most people have heard.
• 1:04:37Even after recent hagiography about Bush, the facts about his background and behavior patterns remain consistent and verifiable.
• 1:05:20Tim notes that people get mad when he questions a World War Two military record, but his father appreciated this kind of investigative journalism as patriotic.
• 1:05:57Kennedy was not the hawk and lascivious figure the media portrays — even liberal media and books like Cy Hirsch's 'Camelot' get him wrong.
• 1:06:32In his short time as president, Kennedy was already a different man and not only changing but had been a radical even years earlier.
• 1:07:07By the early 1950s, Kennedy was sympathetic to self-determination for third-world countries, which made corporations extracting resources from Africa and South America very uncomfortable.
• 1:07:35The elite identified Kennedy as a problem — Alan Dulles and others were very uncomfortable with him, though they initially thought they could control him.
