Good evening from Spain.

Hi, i'm andy1972. I came here after many days previously trying to get into AboveTopSecret with no success. I understand there are many ex members of ATS here and i'm looking to keep the conspiracy flame alive in my heart after 18 years at ATS. I look forward to to chatting with you all. I'm a JFK buff, cryptozoology, fourth reich conspiracy fan.

Welcome Andy.

You spent about the same time as me treading the halls of ATS, but we have a new home now, even if that place gets the lights turned on again.

Have fun and I look forward to sharing time with you here.

The ATS ship took on too much water and slowly slipped beneath the waves.  I am glad you found yourself on a floating life raft that drifted you to Deny Ignorance.

I'm a JFK buff, cryptozoology, fourth reich conspiracy fan.

I am wondering if you heard my unique take on it while on ATS.  

Basically, I've noticed some areas of our country seem to be run by a grassroots gang with their own set of rules.  

Sometimes the areas they are in seem to be economically depressed.

JFK did not have to go before a Naval review board for the loss of the ship he commanded which was PT109.  Captains and other ship commanders (like JFK whose rank was Lieutenant not Captain) who lost their ship in WW2 normally had to tell what happened before a naval review board.  

The conventional view is that JFK's wealthy father Joe Kennedy used his connections to get his son easier treatment but it occurred to me that it may not be so.  The grassroots gang may have prevented the other surviving crew of PT109 from testifying.  I picture the father with tears in his eyes, pleading JFK to tell what he knew to the Navy.  "They'll own you, son!  They'll own you!"  But of course, he did not. 

Twenty years later, he was instrumental in starting US involvement in a war.  The war sent a lot of government pork to the communities of the grassroots gang, which may have had a strong military tradition or war factories.  The young men who went to fight in that war got pay and disability pensions.  New Veterans' Administration hospitals had to be built in many a community which put cash into the community.  Life Insurance money bought many a farm.  

But JFK did not seem to want full US involvement in Vietnam.  However, he had selected a Vice President who did.
