Title: The JFK Photo That Could Have Changed History
Post by: bijou on December 28, 2009, 11:31:38 AM

TMZ has obtained a never-before published photograph which appears to show John F. Kennedy on a boat filled with naked women -- it's a photo that could have altered world events.

John F. Kennedy Photograph
We believe the photo was taken in the mid-1950s. It shows two naked women jumping off the boat and two more naked women sunning on the top deck. Just below the top deck -- a man appearing to be John F. Kennedy is lying on a deck, sunning himself.

TMZ had multiple experts examine the photo -- all say there is no evidence the picture was Photoshopped. The original print -- which is creased -- was scanned and examined for evidence of inconsistent lighting, photo composition and other forms of manipulation. The experts all concluded the photo appears authentic.

Professor Jeff Sedlik, a forensic photo expert, says the print appears to be authentic. Sedlik says the photo is printed on paper consistent with what was used in the 1950s. The emulsion on the surface of the print has numerous cracks -- the result of aging and handling.


There are numerous articles and books on President John F. Kennedy which mention a 2-week, Mediterranean boating trip that JFK -- then a Senator -- took in August, 1956, with his brother Ted Kennedy and Senator George Smathers. The trio reportedly entertained a number of women on the yacht. Jackie Kennedy was pregnant at the time and was rushed to the hospital while JFK was on the boat. Doctors performed an emergency C-section, but the infant was stillborn.

Forensic analyst Sedlik superimposed an image of Kennedy taken at the Democratic National Convention in August 1956, just days before Kennedy went on the Mediterranean cruise. Sedlik says the features from the two pics almost precisely sync up. TMZ has also had two Kennedy biographers examine the photo -- they also believe JFK is in the picture. ...

If you look really carefully in the background you will see Pres. GHW Bush as well.

If it were today then he would have been given a free pass unless he had a R behind his name

The photos would not have seen the light of day, because they were too far beyond the pale to publish back then.

It does jibe with what I know of the man that when his wife is having a difficult pregnancy he is out partying with other women.  That is just the kind of guy he was.

I could be wrong ....and probably am, but wasn't that photo passed around years ago?

Does anybody really care?

His wife is dead, his son is dead, and what does bringing this photo "to the light of day" do for his daughter and grandchildren?

It will not change anyone's current opinion of JFK. Those that liked him...still will. Those that didn't...still won't.

If the gossip media is so bored....they need to spend time finding out just what Obama and his Merry Band of Idiots are up to.

Whatever JFK did 40+ years ago...doesn't really affect any of us anymore.

What Obama and his Merry Band of Idiots are up to....could affect not only us, but generations to come.

I agree. Why aren't they digging into the missing college years of Lord Zero?

DECEMBER 28--In a colossal screw-up, the gossip web site TMZ.com today published a photo purporting to show John F. Kennedy frolicking on a yacht with a harem of naked women--except that the image actually appeared as part of a November 1967 Playboy photo spread, The Smoking Gun has learned. The TMZ hoax was billed as an "exclusive" featuring a photo that "could have altered world events" had it surfaced prior to his presidential campaign. "It could have torpedoed his run, and changed world history," the site added. In reality, the photo appeared in story about Playboy's "Charter Yacht Party: How to Have a Ball on the Briny with an Able-Bodied Complement of Ship's Belles." As seen in the below page from the November 1967 issue, the Playboy photo is in color. The "Exclusive" TMZ image is the same photo, just reproduced in black and white. According to the web site, the photo was "eventually given to a man who owned a car dealership on the East coast. The man kept it in a drawer for years, and would brag to friends he had an image of JFK on a boat with naked women. The man died 10 years ago and one of his sons inherited the photo." The gossip site offered no further details about the photo's provenance or what they paid for the photo. The site noted that "we believe the photo was taken in the mid-1950s," likely while Kennedy was on a two-week "Mediterranean boating trip" with his brother Ted and Senator George Smathers. TMZ claimed to have consulted with "multiple experts," including a forensic photo expert and two unnamed JFK biographers, as it sought to confirm that the late president was photographed surrounded by a quartet of naked women. According to the caption accompanying the Playboy photo spread, four couples were enjoying themselves on a trip to Petit Rameau, an island in the Grenadines. As "Andy" sunned himself on deck, "Elaine" dove naked into the water while "Roxanna" provocatively shimmied up a ladder. (2 pages)

TMZ is a bunch of amateur assgrabbers.  I can't believe crap like that passes for news, entertainment, or anything else.

Well, if ya think about it, there's a good chance it can always sway public opinion over DimWit control of congress. Not a bad play in my book. I'm willing to do anything to get these bastards back on the sidelines!

People have known that JFK was a philanderer since I was a kid!

I was in 6th grade when he was murdered.

Have you noticed JFK's behavior sway public opinion in the last 40 some years?
Did Teddy's?

If you have....you are the only one.

Philandering is nothing compared to leaving a girl to drown in a car.

The hair is a great tip off to the date.  Men simply did not wear their hair in any way that would cover their ears in any way.

Everyone back then, men and woman were going for the short hair styles, both sexes had the DA hair cut.

Elvis had the longest hair I had yet to see  on a grown man back then, long on top and very short on sides and back.  The woman all appear to have longer hair in the photo, early to mid-1960's style.

Grab your parents  or grand-parents school year books and leaf through to see what the styles were back then.

Not what I meant. Anything that puts DimWits in a bad light can't be all bad. May awaken some moderate to point out the fact that JFK wasn't the savior they thought he was..
