Why aren’t W Bush and Johnson also at the bottom
JFK was assassinated by the CIA for beginning to negotiate the end of the Cold War. Communists don’t appreciate the degree to which his politics differed from other American presidents in the imperial era (1896-).
He cooperated with the Soviet Union, the UN, and Patrice Lumumba to protect the democratic experiment in the Congo against the interests of the American deep state. Patrice Lumumba and Dag Hammarskjöld (head of the UN) were both assassinated by the CIA over this experiment.
He negotiated the first nuclear arms treaty with Soviet Union four months before his murder.
One month before his murder, he ordered the reduction of troops in Vietnam. His meetings with Vietnamese officials over the next month indicated plans for a full withdrawal of troops from Vietnam [1] Officials close to JFK said that he wanted to negotiate an end of the Cold War following his re-election, but he was worried about running on it because the anti-communist hysteria in the country.
Following his murder by the CIA, Johnson reversed the steps JFK had taken to withdraw from the war. Eight months into his presidency, Johnson carried water for the Gulf of Tonkin lie which set in motion a decade of genocide in Vietnam.
JFK was the only president who took progressive action that was further ahead of the masses. In the following years, the masses would rise up against the Vietnam War, but it fell on the deaf ears of Johnson and Nixon. FDR and Lincoln get way too much credit for playing mediator between the bourgeoisie and the masses.
JFK was hostile to Cuba, though, right? Was that only early in his term and he had softened towards Castro later on?
JFK was always anti-Castro.
The Bay of Pigs invasion was a massive embarrassment to the JFK administration. He fired Allen Dulles over it, but JFK continued to shift blame towards Castro. Also, JFK used Castro as the scapegoat for the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Although, JFK was continuing talks with Krushchev, and with Castro through a French journalist, Jean Daniel. Krushchev & Castro expected JFK to begin reconciliation with Cuba following the election. Here’s a few articles including quotes from Jean Danial [1] [2]
JFK was an anti-communist Liberal. However, he recognized the damage of US imperialism & was interested in negotiating peace with the communist international movement.
Michael Judge’s podcast, Death is just arounding the Corner, includes a great series on the JFK Assassination which introduced me to the topic.
I’d also recommend reading Peter Dale Scott. He is the foundational researcher of American deep politics. Deep Politics and the Death of JFK is a great book.
Reagan had one of the most pleasant voices of any president
“And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” -2 Corinthians 11:14

The man responsible for a million iraqi deaths should be in garbage tier. Other than that good list.
