John Fitzgerald Kennedy

 John F. Kennedy

"There is nothing to fear, but fear itself."

John F. Kennedy was the youngest president to be elected in the United States. We learn that he was able to defeat Richard Nixon and was able to fight for conservative values while being a democrat. We learn that he was able to fight against socialism and communism, have the vision to send a man to space, and described the importance of conservatism. 

We learn that John F. Kennedy was an individual that was a devout Catholic. We learn that John F. Kennedy had chosen to fight against tyranny in his presidency being able to fight against the socialists and communists. We learn that socialism and communism attempted to stifle and prevent individuals from understanding the importance of practicing responsibility along with autonomy, liberty, and freedom. We know that John F. Kennedy had decided to fight against Cuba and against communism in the 1960s. While John F. Kennedy was fighting against tyranny, he was also fighting against poverty and helped the civil rights movement. 

We learn that along with Martin Luther King, strides were made to fight against racism. John F. Kennedy was an individual that had decided to fight for the civil rights movement. We learn that there was racism that was still happening in the 1960s. John F. Kennedy had decided to stand and help individuals fight for their civil rights. 

We learn that John F. Kennedy did not have an easy presidency knowing that there was opposition from communism and the Cold War. Yet, John F. Kennedy allowed individuals to know that there is the need to fight for ideals and values. We learn that John F. Kennedy did not falter and kept fighting against communism, poverty, and racism. John F. Kennedy allows us to know that individuals can make a difference being able to embolden the civil rights movement that gave individuals rights to fight against racism and envy that was apparent in the 1960s. We learn that the Soviet Union collapsed in the 1990s with the efforts of Pope John Paul II, Aleksandr Solsenitsyn, and Ronald Reagan who were individuals that fought against the temporary lies of communism and socialism.

JFK Increased the Minimum Wage of Workers and Allowed African Americans and Minorities to Have Jobs

"The president elect determined to give legislative priority in the coming session to five "must" welfare bills: increased minimum wages, aid to depressed areas, housing legislation, federal assistance to public schools, and hospital insurance for the aged."- (page 97)

"Kennedy's proposal to raise the minimum wage from $1 to $1.25 over three years and extend coverage to four million new workers."- (page 98)

JFK was not only fighting against racism from socialists in the 1960s, but he was also fighting against poverty. JFK made a law to employ African Americans and minorities and also increased the minimum wage to $1.25 from $1. This was when laundry workers were making $0.65 in a 48 hour work week. JFK was told to remove laundry workers from the bill or have the legislation removed. JFK had opposition from business people and yet proceeded to increase the minimum wage while removing laundry workers. JFK was opposed by big business due to his stance to fight poverty. JFK had a large amount of opposition not only in fighting poverty, communism in Cuba, going to space, but also while fighting for civil rights. Despite the opposition, JFK was unique and distinct choosing to fight for the working class. MLK was also fighting for improved wages for the working class. JFK also fought for desegregation in the housing market and also for health insurance for senior citizens and the aged. 

"Its report on November 1963 buried the information that after two years African American employment in the middle grades had risen 4.9% to only 6%, and in upper grades 0.7% to 1 percent."- (page 64)

JFK attempted to increase the number of African Americans and minorities working in the government and the private sector in the 1960s. JFK made Lyndon Baines Johnson the organizer of the committee and yet there was still opposition. In regards to work in the government it was noted that middle grade paying positions had increased 1.9% yet for high grade positions it only increased 0.3%. This describes that there was still opposition to African Americans and minorities improving themselves in better paying jobs. 

JFK Created Jobs in the United States in Regions That Had Bad Economies

JFK not only fought against poverty in the United States by raising the minimum wage but also created jobs. JFK created a committee to create jobs in areas that had been affected by negative economies. There were economies that were stagnated, and JFK created close to more than 34,000 jobs (JFK would create additional jobs training and employing workers who were displaced due to automation from assembly line machines creating 600,000 jobs). JFK wanted to add jobs to areas that did not have a stable economy in the Great Lakes, Alaska and Appalachia. JFK was able to create jobs in various areas and was slandered by bureaucrats who said that it was only half of those jobs that were actually created. While fighting racism and poverty, there were still bureaucrats who slandered JFK saying that he only created half the number of jobs reported.

JFK created the committee to create jobs in different regions including regions that were affected from depleted natural resources described in coal mining and fishing. Despite actually creating more than 34,000 jobs the committee did not receive funding, was disbanded, and removed in 1963. In 1965, a bureaucrat committee was created that did exactly the same attempting to create jobs in regions with stagnated economies. While citing JFK's committee a failure and disbanding the committee, bureaucrats in 1965 copied his committee.

JFK Wanted to Go to Space in 1960

JFK wanted to go to the moon in 1960. JFK wanted to inspire younger generations to know that the United States had talent and inspiration to go to space and discover a new frontier. JFK wanted to send a man to the moon while fighting poverty, racism, and socialism. JFK actually attempted to send a man to the moon, and again he was opposed by bureaucrats. I do not know all the details but there were bureaucrats that prevented JFK from sending a man to the moon.

After denying JFK a space mission to send an astronaut to the moon, it was noted that in 1969 an astronaut was sent to the moon. There are theories that state that the US went to the moon in 1969, and there are also theories that state that the US did not go to the moon in 1969. Regardless of if a man went to the moon or not, it was JFK who took initiative in the year 1960. The Soviets had sent a satellite to space in the 1950s, but had not sent a man to the moon. Socialist bureaucrats in the US may have impeded JFK's efforts out of envy. JFK was quite impressive.

The Cuban Missile Crisis

The Soviet Union began to be hostile to the US after the Second World War and increased hostilities in the 1960s. After Stalin was no longer Soviet leader, the Soviet socialists placed nuclear warhead missiles in Cuba aimed at the United States. Once JFK was notified, JFK organized the FBI to fight against Cuba. The operation was known as the Bay of Pigs invasion that looked to remove the missiles. JFK looked to remove the missiles from being a threat, yet did not have the full cooperation of the FBI.

The Bay of Pigs invasion was described as a failure and blamed on JFK's young age and supposed inexperience. The reality was that the FBI also decided to stand down and not fight against the socialists in Cuba. Similar to the times JFK had to use the marshals and national guard instead of the FBI against racist socialists when fighting for civil rights, the FBI had decided to stand down against socialism in Cuba. Despite being blamed for the Bay of Pigs invasion, JFK kept fighting tyranny and never gave up. While being opposed by bureaucrats at different times concerning legislation, fighting poverty, fighting racism, fighting communism, and even getting the FBI to fight organized crime (prior to going after organized crime the FBI only went after bootlegged movies and clandestine boxing fights), JFK did not falter. JFK was appreciated by the working class but despised by envious socialist bureaucrats.

JFK Fought Against Segregation

"There seemed no escape from crisis in the spring of 1963. George Wallace had won election as governor of Alabama the previous year, vowing to defend segregation by standing "in the schoolhouse door". When two African American students arrived on the University of Alabama campus on June 11 with a federal court order requiring their admittance, there he stood, blocking the entrance. He yielded to superior force later in the day after the president nationalized the Alabama national guard."- (page 89)

The civil rights movement was opposed by racist socialists who did not want African Americans and minorities to obtain basic rights guaranteed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. We learn that African Americans and minorities were seen as individuals who were not supposed to receive an education being kept semiliterate so that they would remain working in jobs where pay was cheap in labor fields and also not work at white collar jobs. JFK fought against segregation and racism in the United States allowing students to go to university when racist governors attempted to prevent them from entering into the classroom. JFK allowed a student in Mississippi to be enrolled and attend classes when the racist governor attempted to place obstacles and opposition based on envy and hate. Idolatrous socialists are envious and racist regardless of what race or ethnicity they are (there are racist idolators/socialists that are White, African American, Asian, and Latin American including Mexican American. This is because they practice idolatry and not because of the race and ethnicity. There are also righteous individuals from all races and ethnicities.)  JFK mobilized the marshals and army to allow the student to go to school. The student was able to go to school and attain a university education.

"On June 19, 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a civil rights bill embodying most of the movement's urgent demands. The best efforts of the Justice Department having failed to enfranchise African Americans in the Deep South, Kennedy's bill further strengthened voting rights laws. African Americans in Birmingham had marched by the thousands to petition for equal treatment in public places; the president's bill outlawed discrimination in such places of public accomodation as hotels, motels, movie theaters, sports arenas, retail stores, gas stations, restaurants, and lunch counters."

In another instance, the governor from Alabama attempted to prevent two African American students from going to school. JFK again sent the Alabama national guard, and the students were able to go to school. JFK decided to stand with the civil rights movement instead of being a part of racism and envy. JFK would be able to make a bill that desegregated public places while also fighting against segregation in the universities. It was noted that JFK had won eleven million Republican voters from Nixon and only lost six and a half million Democrats of which four million Democrats left because of his civil rights stance. JFK was going to win the 1964 presidential re-election (page 93). JFK began to tour Texas to prepare to campaign for re-election in 1963.

"But 63 percent of the American people backed his civil rights bill and 60 percent continued to approve his conduct of the presidency."- (page 63)

The Assassination of JFK

JFK was assassinated because he was going to win the 1964 re-election while fighting poverty, corruption, socialism, racism, and wanting to go to space. It was noted by pollsters that JFK was going to win re-election in 1964 after passing his Equal Opportunity in Employment Law that also ended segregation. JFK was able to lead the United States by choosing to fight racism. JFK was a devout Catholic who was righteous and fought against tyranny and evil. While probably being intimidated by Hoover and his FBI associates, JFK was able to lead the country far from racism into desegregation, justice, and equality. JFK decided to fight against evil despite the intimidation and envy. 

JFK was going to visit Texas in a motorcade when he was shot by an idolatrous socialist using a sniper rifle. JFK was told days before, that there may be threats against him, and JFK did not fear. JFK was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald who was a known socialist. A day after Lee Harvey Oswald had killed JFK, Lee Harvey Oswald was also shot and killed describing how socialism does not help anyone. Instead of being given a vacation or a reward, Lee Harvey Oswald was shot by, most likely, another idolatrous socialist. This was to prevent Lee Harvey Oswald from speaking the truth and telling others who sent him to murder JFK. JFK probably had a lot of enemies since he chose to be distinct and different by fighting for civil rights instead of standing down. JFK similar to MLK may have been hated and envied by Hoover, Sullivan, and the FBI, socialists, communists, idolators, monopoly "capitalists", and racists who opposed the civil rights movement in the 1960s. Racism was business as usual for the socialists also seen in the Soviet Union where a caste system benefits the few at the expense of the majority. JFK gave us hope to know that despite opposition, being righteous is preferred. The civil rights movement would be a success and the Soviet Union would collapse in the 1990s with Reagen, Pope John Paul II, and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn speaking truth and fighting for righteousness. (Despite the times that we live, we can keep persevering obeying the commandments of Moses and preaching King Jesus Christ. We can persevere preaching truth and not believe the temporary lies of the snake that wants individuals to fight with each other over ethnicity, social class, age, gender, and even over sports teams.)
