Hi there

You have some fantastic pics 📸 and clips of the former first lady and wife of the 35th President of the United States of America

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, including pics with Onasses and friends. May I ask the question, why the fascination? I ask this with the utmost respect.

Ps hope you've had an awesome day...

Thanks for the question! :)

I’ve always had a fascination with history and in fact am currently creating my own path in the field as an academic.

As a teenager just getting into history, she just fascinated me in a way that stuck with me personally. Her beauty and her fashion caught my attention and the more I learned about her the more I wanted to learn. I find this account to be a fun way to be able to cultivate that interest while also being able to share cool + rare shots I find of her.

I hope you enjoy!

'The death of John Fitzgerald Kennedy remains to this day an unsolved mystery.

Despite the various theories and trials that exist around the figure of the former president, the absolute truth has not yet come to light and who knows if it never will. The death happened on November 22 1963.

Precedents of the JFK case

Despite the ideas put forward by Christopher Nolan in Oppenheimer, there were others who tried to tackle the assassination of the Democrat.

Oliver Stone left us a wonderful film in 1991 with JFK, in which Kevin Costner seeks at all costs the truth about the case.

Killing Kennedy, from 2013 and JFK 'Case Revisited' in 2021 were other approaches to the assassination in question. Cinema has bequeathed us several docs and Oppenheimer was the latest of these...

Who killed Kennedy?

Robert Downey Jr. plays Lewis Strauss, one of the key figures in the development of nuclear weapons during World War II. He is portrayed as a calculating and vengeful guy, determined to take down his enemies, in this case Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy).

But Strauss's political career was ended by three "no" votes, which prevented him from becoming US Secretary of Commerce. Who decided to change his mind, asks the film's presumed antagonist. Kennedy was one of the people who voted against Strauss being US Secretary of Commerce.

Although it is only a few seconds of film, it is an element that should not necessarily come into play.

In 'American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer', the book by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin on which he based his screenplay, nothing is said about John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Nolan is not a fool and it doesn't seem to be a light-hearted opinion, who knows if he has opened a new door in the JFK case or not.'

What is Publicly Known About JFK's Assassination - So Far

© Photo : Public domain

— Andrei Dergalin | Sputnik International | December 15, 2022

The death of US President John F. Kennedy nearly sixty years ago gave rise to quite a few conspiracy theories as many people were not convinced by the official narrative of the tragic events.

The US government is expected to release a trove of documents related to probably one of the most infamous assassinations of political figures in the 20th century – the murder of the 35th President of the United States John Fitzgerald Kennedy – this upcoming December 15.

The president’s (alleged) killer was swiftly identified and apprehended by authorities, and several official investigations were conducted in order to shed light on this tragic event. Nonetheless, JFK's murder spawned a number of conspiracy theories, with quite a few people in various corners of the world expressing their doubts about the official narrative.

Who Shot JFK?

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was murdered on November 22, 1963, while visiting the city of Dallas. As the presidential motorcade was moving through Dealey Plaza, Kennedy was shot twice – once in the back and once in the head – while he was riding in an open-topped limo and waving at the crowds greeting him.

The POTUS was promptly rushed to Parkland Hospital where he was soon pronounced dead.

The shooting was apparently carried out from the sixth floor of the nearby Texas School Book Repository where authorities found the murder weapon – a Carcano M91/38 bolt-action rifle.

Lee Harvey Oswald, a former US Marine who worked as an order filler at the book repository and who purchased the aforementioned rifle, was arrested later that day on suspicion of murdering police officer J.D. Tippit shortly after the shooting at the Dealey Plaza, and was eventually charged with Kennedy’s assassination as well.

Oswald, however, denied shooting either man. Authorities soon found themselves unable to interrogate him further on account of his own death: on November 24, Oswald was shot and killed by nightclub owner Jack Ruby when the cops were transferring the suspect to another jail.

Ruby himself was charged with the murder of Oswald but managed to successfully appeal his conviction, only to die of cancer in 1967.

How US Government Investigated Kennedy’s Assassination

On November 29, 1963, Kennedy’s successor Lyndon B. Johnson established the Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy chaired by Earl Warren, US chief justice, via executive order.

The commission, which became informally known simply as the Warren Commission, presented its findings to Johnson in September 1964, arguing that both Oswald and Ruby were acting alone and weren’t part of some bigger conspiracy.

The Warren Commission also brought forth the so-called single-bullet theory, which essentially claimed that both JFK and Texas Governor John Connally - who was also riding on the presidential limo at the time of the shooting and who likewise sustained a gunshot wound (but survived) when the president was fatally shot - were both hit by a single bullet.

A subsequent investigation by medical experts appointed in 1968 by then-Attorney General Ramsey Clark, however, established that Kennedy was hit by not one but two bullets.

The matter of Kennedy’s murder was also brought up about a decade later in 1975 by the Rockefeller Commission (officially known as the US Presidential Commission on CIA Activities within the United States) which was established at the behest of US President Gerald Ford and whose goal was to investigate the Central Intelligence Agency’s activities within the country.

Having reviewed claims and allegations of the CIA involvement in the assassination and the spy agency’s relations with Oswald and Ruby, the Rockefeller Commission found little substance to them, essentially upholding the version of events brought forth by the Warren Commission.

However, the US House Select Committee on Assassinations, which was established in September 1976, pointed at the likelihood of Kennedy being killed as a result of a conspiracy, as well as the probability of a second shooter being involved in the plot.

Why Some People Doubt Official Narrative of JFK Assassination

While US government officials and lawmakers spent quite some time looking into the matter of Kennedy’s assassination, a considerable amount of documents related to it remained classified.

This situation, along with the fact that the only suspect was killed shortly after the president’s shooting and before being able to divulge any potentially sensitive information, as well as the apparent inconsistencies in the government investigators’ findings, led to the creation of many conspiracy theories primarily dealing with who might have masterminded the killing.

In light of the mounting public skepticism regarding the official narrative of the president’s killing, the US Congress in 1992 passed the so-called Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act ordering the collection and release of the materials pertaining to the case in question.

While the US National Archives started releasing these documents in 2017, US President Joe Biden suspended the release of the remaining records in 2021 under the pretext of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Biden administration did, however, promise to release the documents on a later date, with the deadline being December 15, 2022.

Which 20th-century US President's middle name was Fitzgerald?

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917-1963), often called JFK, was the 35th President of the United States from 1961 until his assassination on 22nd November 1963. At the age of 43, he was the youngest president elected to the office. He was so the youngest to die in office.

Kennedy's middle name was his mother's maiden name. Rose Fitzgerald (1890-1995) married Joseph P. Kennedy (1888-1965) in 1914. They had nine children. Kennedy's older brother was named after his father, whereas Kennedy, the second child, was given his mother's maiden name.

Notable events during Kennedy's presidency include the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race and the Civil Rights Movement. Overshadowing much of this was his assassination in 1963.

Kennedy was shot once through the throat and once in the head while travelling through Dallas, Texas, in an open-top car. Lee Harvey Oswald, a former U.S. Marine, was the prime suspect, although denied the alligations. Oswald was killed two days later by Jack Ruby.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was given a state funeral three days after his murder and buried in the Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.

Marilyn Monroe performing at at John F. Kennedy’s birthday celebration in New York City, May 19th, 1962. There were roughly fifteen thousand people who appeared at what doubled as a benefit for the Democratic National Committee deficit from the 1960 campaign. Tickets ranged from $100 — $1,000. Aside from Marilyn, other performers included Ella Fitzgerald, Maria Callas, Jack Benny, Jimmy Durante, Peggy Lee, Henry Fonda, Harry Belafonte, Mike Nichols, Elaine May and Mike Nichols, plus several, several more. Marilyn arrived nearly forty-five minutes late, to which Peter Lawford jokingly introduced her as “The late Marilyn Monroe…” An eerie statement seeing as she would be found dead only three months later. Beautifully, she took the stage and performed “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” and “Thanks for the Memories.” “I was worried I’d get up there and nothing would come out,” she told Richard Meryman during her Life interview a couple of months later. She was escorted by her former father-in-law, Isidore Miller, whom she had grown very close with during her marriage to Arthur. She spent almost the entire night at his side and made sure to introduce her to Kennedy.
