Jackie Kennedy, the wife of President JFK was inches away from her husband when he was assassinated in a limo on 11-22-1963, and knew of the family�s history of tragic and sudden losses. When brother of Jack and friend to Jackie Bobbie Kennedy was gunned down in a hotel while campaigning for President in 1968, when she heard the news she screamed:� They are killing the Kennedy�s'! Jackie would later become almost paranoid about her son John John being the next in line to die, and was adamantly against his wishes to learn to fly an air plane or even to fly in one. John John took lessons secretly from his mother's knowledge as he grew up, and met his tragic end in the suspicious crashing of his plane while attempting to land it.

The question, if you believe this conspiracy theory, is why? JFK Jr. was headed nowhere. He failed the bar how many times? He failed at his publishing career..


DUI, cocaine, AWOL, failed business, C average, hell, it never stopped Bush from becoming a two-term president!

I believe JFK JR, would have been president.

John F. Kennedy Jr.
BIOGRAPHY

John was born on November 25, 1960, only weeks after his father was elected president. He was the first child born to a president-elect and the first infant to live in the White House since the Cleveland administration. Three years later, the world watched as the three year old, on his birthday saluted his father's casket as it passed by. Two weeks after the funeral, his mother, Jacqueline Kennedy, moved John Jr. and his sister, Caroline, out of the White House to Manhattan, where she made every attempt to raise her children as normal as possible, out of the public eye.

With all her influence and grace, Jacqueline could not tame the media. Nevertheless, she did succeed in raising two children that matured into responsible independent adults. Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg has maintained a much more private life. Handsome, rich, polite and charismatic, John Jr. was too much for the media to stay away from.

John attended New York City's Collegiate School for Boys and graduated from the elite Phillips Academy in Andover. Unlike many of the Kennedy men who attended Harvard, John went to Brown University, graduating in 1983. After thinking seriously about an acting career, John enrolled in New York University's Law School, a move many now say was motivated by Jackie's wishes. He failed the bar exam twice, prompting the tabloids to name him "The hunk who flunked."

In late 1988, People magazine dubbed him the "Sexiest Man Alive." When he introduced his uncle Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, at the 1988 Democratic Convention, people speculated that John Jr. was getting ready to run for office himself. Instead he went to work as a prosecutor for the Manhattan District Attorney. After amassing a very impressive record of 6-0 from 1989-1993, he resigned.

The avenue Kennedy chose was later was publishing. In 1995 he launched "George" magazine, as a glossy, nonpartisan political journal subtitled "not just politics as usual." In addition to his duties as editor, he wrote essays and conducted interviews, which included discussions with Fidel Castro and Mike Tyson. In 1997 the essay, Kennedy called his cousins Michael and Joseph, who suffered personal embarrassments in the public eye, "poster boys to very bad behavior".

While he led a life under intense media scrutiny, John did not give the press much fodder. Aside from a few public spats with his wife, Carolyn, a former Calvin Klein executive, John kept a low profile. A passionate philanthropist, John volunteered with several nonprofit's and sat on the board of several family foundations. He was often seen skating around his TriBeCa neighborhood. He also was in Central Park jogging on a regular basis. He was as special as it gets.

The IQ of Bush Jr at 125 is more urban myth than reality.

I remember these two debating; and Bush couldn't even string a complete sentence together.

Kerry, on the other hand, looked very presidential and answered questions with elegance and style.

Why the American people voted for Bush I will never know.

The American people voted for Bush because he didn't come across with a "presidential style". Kerry was, as Obama, is an empty suit wannabe.

The Americans call it being a straight talker.

A 757 hit the Pantagon. The Bush admin didn't have prior knowledge about WTC attacks. WTC7 was not a demo and there was no prior knowledge. All the peicing together brings me to that, sometimes unpopular opinion. JFK Jnr, however, was taken out.

After going thru details found in various sources over the internet about different aspects of that night, weather, aircraft structure, precedents before and after, personal and sought knowledge if instrument systems and radio communications, it's the only conclusion I get.
It's damned sad, too.

I have about 2000 hours flying small aircraft. JFK Jr. simply flew into conditions that were beyond his ability to handle. He died and killed those in the plane with him.

Clear night visibility. Winds around 4 knots, no gusts. What bad conditions do you mean?

I just watched a History Channel special on JFK Jr. It seems he made the choice to leave 3 hours late and take the wrong route, over the open ocean instead of along the coast.

In other words he flew into a situation that was beyond his ability to control. He gambled and her lost.
