Yes. He was informed of the coup planning in July 63.

Here you go.

JFK and the Diem Coup: Declassified Records

Page down to document 1.

DCI Briefing July 3

CIA was approached by South Vietnamese General about a coup against President Diem.


Document 5.

'President Kennedy continues his consideration of a policy of support for a coup in Saigon"


JFK was guilty of supporting the murder of a foreign head of state. He doomed 58,000 Americans.

Hillary would have never let him get through the primary if JFK would run today. And wasn't John John mulling a run for senate but Hillary being Hilary..... Not to mention the deep state would have assassinated him again today just like they did 50+ years ago.

John John had said he intended to get into politics. JFK would have been for health care--his brother Teddy was the person who influenced Obama to provide health care and Teddy and his friends then threw their support behind Obama, causing Hillary to lose the nomination.

The Kennedys always had the sense of noblesse oblige--that the rich are obligated to help others. JFK most certainly would have been in favor of universal health care.

This thread is 6 pages long but encase no one else has pointed it out.

Foreign policy is perception. You would have to argue specifics.


Taxes, when JFK wanted to lower there, where as high as 90% in some areas. You can not compare that to what we have today.

Guns, there are very few people in the Democratic party that are anti second amendment. That argument was hyperbole.

Abortion, not a single politician in that image supports unrestricted abortion,

Bernie Sanders may very well be the only congressional elected leftist who does, and even he has reservations when he goes into detail.

Again, the amount of hyperbole is sad.

JFK wasn't extreme enough to even be a consideration today. Reagan's politics in todays arena would have fallen short as well. He would have been called a RINO.

Sadly, you are equating all Democrats with extreme progressives. That would be like the rest of us equating all Republicans with loony tea party types. Democrats are not that extreme--it's some of the leaders on EACH side that have hijacked each party.

Enough to have rigged an election?
A Guy like Webb would have been an excellent choice for President. The DNC backed a corrupt liar like Hillary.
The problem is Democrats and Republicans alike will put party before country every election. Too lazy to think for themselves and just follow party line.

Then they fell in love with immigrants and illegal aliens, even though millions of Americans couldn't find jobs.

to take just one example ( the agriculture sector )

which party do you think supports illegal farm labourers ?

because they pretty much keep the american farm sector competitive
