It was like they all knew expect fo him and Jackie smh RIP..
Just saw an excellent documentary, "Israel and the assassinations of the Kennedy brothers," by Lauren Goyenot. It's on You Tube, Twitter and Rumble. Everyone should watch it. Best I have seen.
The Driver shot him.
You see the young presidential couple smiling, shaking hands, being enthusiastically welcomed, and then you see them get into the limousine.
You know what's coming and even after all these years you wish it didn't
It was a shocking event for us in Ireland. Only five months before, he had spent what he described as being some of the happiest days of his life with us.
I was 4 years old when my Grandmother, who was visiting for Thanksgiving, called me into the TV room to ask me to watch the CBS assassination coverage which is now on YouTube. I'll never forget what she told me with an ashen face, "John, something awful happened today." 😢
A couple of years later in elementary school my teacher copied and passed out the coincidences between the Kennedy and Lincoln assassinations paper. I'm not saying it means anything, but it's worth a look anyway:
Lincoln was elected President in 1860 and Kennedy was elected in 1960 exactly 100 years later. There are seven letters in each name, both Presidents were assassinated on Friday and both in the presence of their wives.
Both were directly concerned with civil rights and both had the legality of their elections contested.
President Kennedy’s secretary’s name was Lincoln, who warned him not to go to Dallas; Lincoln’s secretary’s name was Kennedy, who warned him not to go to the theater.
Both of their successors’ names were Johnson, Andrew Johnson and Lyndon Johnson. Each name contains 13 letters. Both men served in the U.S. Senate and both were southern Democrats. Andrew Johnson was born in 1808 and Lyndon Johnson was born in 1908.
Booth and Oswald were both southerners favoring unpopular ideas. Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse and hid in a theater and Booth shot Lincoln in a theater and hid in a warehouse.
Booth and Oswald were both murdered before a trial could be arranged. Booth and Oswald were born 100 years apart and each name, Lee Harvey Oswald and John Wilkes Booth, has 15 letters.
ASIDE FROM HIS FAMILY, WHO ARE ALL DEAD,WHO REALLY CARES.
It is absolutely mind boggling that the government is still withholding a lot the secret files regarding his assassination to this day, sixty years later. Yes, I know some of files were released this year, but the government is still holding a lot of files they deem “too sensitive “. Too sensitive for who?
A whole lot of errors in the CBS broadcast that day
November 21, 1963 was peak America. Our downhill slide started the next day; it gets more bleak and ugly with each passing moment, and there is no end in sight.
I was in 5th grade when it happened. A teacher came in with tears in her eyes and told my teacher the President was assassinated. We were all glued to our TV through the weekend. It is still vivid how shocking the news was.
What an awful day that was. I didn't experience it firsthand (obviously), but I still feel so bad for our president, his family, and how much pain and the sense of helplessness our nation felt. May he rest in peace.
People loved him so!
The graphic over Robert Pierpoint's description of the casket being carried out of the White House says November 25, 1963. It was Sunday, November 24th…about 45 minutes after the shooting of Oswald. Come on, CBS.
Horrible day 😢
This was well before I was born, but the thing that stands out to me is how Jackie, knowing her husband’s many infidelities, knowing his shortcomings as a husband, his affairs, etc., still stood by him with such dignity, grace and loyalty. She was loyal to him, until the very end, and probably few women would be like that in today’s world. That was a very different time.
This is mind-blowing 🤯
One of the greatest Presidents the USA ever had. RIP Kennedy
Thank you for uploading this video.

Just follow the Path of those whom invited or coordinated Him to Dallas.Tx.
I feel a good part of the courage, trust and happy soul of Americans died that day along with Him.
JFK was a MAVERICK. He was human and he made mistakes, some from his own making, some from the advice of others. But he had the Elvis effect of having extremely rare charismatic personality and character traits as well as being extremely wise for his age. The crowds that came to see him proved he was a presidential rock star. Presidential traits that come along once a century.
He came to the edge of Armageddon and saw how devastating power and weapons uncontrolled could bring. He started talking peace, but that didn’t cut the cake for the military industrial complex.
I believe he wanted to do good for the country and the world, but it was not meant to be.
America has a death wish problem with good presidents and good men –
once they get one,
they want to get rid of them.
imagine being this guys number 1, only to realize you’re definitely fired.
Mmm, poftă de dulce!🤤🤤🤤 E o rețetă neașteptată deoarece nu m-aș fi așteptat să văd baclavaua transformată într-un tort😅, dar uite că se poate și arată foarte instagramabilă 🥮🥮🥮cu bobocii de trandafiri și fistic-ul ca și decor. Mulțumim frumos pentru încă o rețetă inedită!🤗
I have no words. 💔 I wasn’t around at the time when this tragedy happened. I’m only 23 now. From the early 60s & onwards this country has gone downhill. So sad.
11:37 Walter Cronkite choking up but trying to stay composed still gets to me.
@3:44 proud racists in the crowd waiving Confederate flag at Lovefield
Yrs later JFK JR was running for office in New York and Clinton cartel took care of him
An open Lincoln convertible is a unbelievable red flag that was one of the many clear security breachs for a polarized president .This is unbelievable incompetence to this day legendary incompetence
For God sakes let the man rest in peace. Learn about his life and achievements and not just the disgusting ghoulish facts about how the man was brutally murdered in front of his wife and all those people watching.
Govt lying then..govt lying now.. Nothing has changed..
Always shocks me to see how young Dan Rather looks here.
This is controversial? But the fraud of a jet hitting the Pentagon isnt?
Or what about the one in Penn. that didnt have any blood or bodies.. and crashed in the shape of a plane?
I know.. what about the "third building"?
Ridiculous.
It’s crazy to think that 60 years ago, for my generation (I’m 20) seems like such a long time ago, yet at the same time, this was not long ago at all. It’s also crazy for me to think that my grandmother was exactly the same age when this tragedy happened as I am right now. My grandparents are now 80 and each vividly remember every detail about that horrible day. Our grandparents generation had November 22nd, 1963, our parents generation had September 11th, 2001, and our generation has January 6th, 2021. All extremely dark days in our country that no one will ever forget.
Cronkite did so well to keep the country calm and informed that day. The only time I can think of a newsman doing that so stoically was the late great Peter Jennings on ABC. RIP Mr. President
In K. C. MO. when in the 4th grade in 1962. St. James "catholic" grade school marched the whole school that morning to Paseo Blvd. to see J.F.K.'s motorcade pass north. He was on his way to Independance, MO. to visit ex-potus Harry S. Truman. On our way home from school that afternoon. As we reached the traffic light at 39th & The Paseo. Me, Fernando Jordan, & Gary Soltero heard the police motorcycles now headed south. Just then J.F.K.'s black limo passed us. He waved at us. We were the only ones around at three o'clock. R.I.P.
💔💔💔💔
The United States changed forever on November, 22 1963. It was a horrendous wound that will never fully heal.
What a difference TV was back then.
The fact that they knew they would drive through Dealy Plaza, and would elect not to put the tip on…lens’s to the conspiracy his assassination was more than Oswald. Was it a mistake? Or was it an intentional mistake?
I was only 7 yrs old when this happened. I remember iT being on TV.😢
I was 1 year and 2 month, and 18 days old. But I have flashes of memories of this especially the Oswald killing! We saw that on tv as it happened.
Kennedy is one true spiritual smart mastermind who made the future of America stronger and powerful over his presidency.
Although it has been 60 years since the world witnessed a sorrow tragedy, time flies every day, but life in the past had more bigger experiences and both a stronger and better nation than today.
RIP Mr. Kennedy, a one-true president that was beloved by so many across the states of freedom (1917-1963).
Truly a very sad day back in 1963, God bless everyone because we don't know the very day or hour in which we take our last breath on this planet. And not I leave you with the simple gospel that saves, 1 cor 15 1-4
And "Covered" Up since then. 🤔

Sad day for our country. We may never know the full truth. I was in the eighth grade that day. I will never forget.
I remember my mom, and grandmother crying while watching everything unfold on 📺 ..
