At 2:00 there is an interesting question by JFK to McNamara: 'Do you think this was an effort by the Air Force to embarrass everybody...?'

Suggests that JFK thought that there were people in the armed forces that were not too well disposed towards him...

[guerre1859]

having Dulles, the head of the CIA that JFK fired, be in charge of investigating who killed JFK...

But people who dare tie all these 'coincidences' together are usually dismissed as 'conspiracy theorists.'

This recording though is incontrovertible proof though that JFK obviously did not feel he truly controlled the armed forces.

And if you put this together with outgoing Republican 5-star general Eisenhower's dire warnings of the Military-Industrial Complex...

The soviets prior to contrary belief did not have the weapon capability to keep up with the US it was all talk. They had 4 ICBMS in the 50s and 3 did not work. We had 157.. Do the math people. The US had the advantage over the soviets at all times...

@BamaChris Cuban Missile Crisis

JFK brought the world to the brink of nuclear holocaust pursuing a game of nuclear chicken that defines him as the riskiest president in history. Had he not threatened Cuba (BoP actions) USSR wouldn't of put missiles in Cuba . Dean Acheson said JFK was "phenomenally lucky" JFK forced the confrontation for political reasons & humiliated Kruschev, the man he had to deal with. JFK backed down on inspection for compliance/lied about it/+ evidence missiles remained.

@NkrumahTure CM Crisis

9/22/63 JFK wrote his staff in a hand-written note : "Is there a plan to brainwash key press w/in 12 hrs or so?" By being dishonest w/the American sheeple, JFK gave the Soviets, who had the facts, the power to destroy his Presidency & unduly influence him. The timing was dishonest, he'd known about the missiles since Aug. 22 when informed by CIA Dir. McCone. He announced it on Oct 22nd to influence Congressional elections in favor of (D), the classic "October Surprise"

@InformationMinister Cuban Missile Crisis

There's lots of evidence Russians never removed missiles, but the end result was dismantling our missiles in Turkey. JFK's handling of the crisis to the point of our nuclear annihilation was the most irresponsible act of any president in history. His body was on speed & his mind was on sex at the height of the crises : JFK asked McNamara about an attractive Pent. sec. : I want her name & no. He replied "Why" JFK : "We may avert a war tonight"

@grumpytosnowwhite "it showed him in a "bad light" - aka, exactly how he was"

Actually and in reality LeMay WAS RIGHT !

* We had a 10 to 1 megatonnage advantage over the USSR, it would of been suicidal for them to launch a missile (20M American v 200M Russians deaths)

* Soviets were playing with fire in our backyard, they had no 'Blue Water' navy to back their play and would of been trounced in any confrontation conventional or otherwise (Krushev will be ousted in 2 yrs for this blunder)

[InformationMinister]

Man i would love to get my hands on the recording of conversations between the Kennedy administration during the Cuban Missile crisis.

[NkrumahTure]

One would have to admit that JFK always refused to be a fool about anything. He didn't play that shit. It's comforting to know that a man as Kennedy occupied the Oval Office in those times.

These tapes are great. I think Youtube is the single best web site ever created. Thanks for posting these interesting and historic tapes.

[grumpytosnowwhite]

All very true. Ike reportedly fought with the Pentagon a lot as well though, so go figure. Maybe he just wised up as time went on.

Also, you're right about LeMay - he was really untrustworthy and gave JFK the worst advice in the world during the crisis, not to mention acted really insubordinately. Have you ever seen the movie Thirteen Days? Most of LeMay's dialogue was taken from the *actual tapes*, yet his family protested because it showed him in a "bad light" - aka, exactly how he was.
