So you are contending that it is my opinion because I wasn't there to witness these events? What better example of the contrarian standard of proof. We actually need a time machine to prove any fact in human history. It is well documented that Hoover kept files on many individuals including presidents, that JFK had affairs and used many drugs for his serious medical conditions and lied about those medical conditions while running for president. There is zero doubt of these fact.
NY Times:
The first thorough examination of President John F. Kennedy's medical records, conducted by an independent presidential historian with a medical consultant, has found that Kennedy suffered from more ailments, was in far greater pain and was taking many more medications than the public knew at the time or biographers have since described.
As president, he was famous for having a bad back, and since his death, biographers have pieced together details of other illnesses, including persistent digestive problems and Addison's disease, a life-threatening lack of adrenal function.
But newly disclosed medical files covering the last eight years of Kennedy's life, including X-rays and prescription records, show that he took painkillers, antianxiety agents, stimulants and sleeping pills, as well as hormones to keep him alive, with extra doses in times of stress.
At times the president took as many as eight medications a day, says the historian, Robert Dallek. A committee of three longtime Kennedy family associates, who for decades refused all requests to look at the records, granted Mr. Dallek's, in part because of his ''tremendous reputation,'' said one of them, Theodore C. Sorensen, who was the president's special counsel.
So you are contending that it is my opinion because I wasn't there to witness these events? Yes. Absolutely. When you were not there to witness something what else but an opinion can it possibly be? You may rely on sources that you deem to be credible, and match your mind set, but that doesn't elevate your opinion to a fact.
We actually need a time machine to prove any fact in human history. No we don't. All somebody like you needs to do is accept that your opinion simply isn't automatically a fact.
It is well documented that Hoover kept files on many individuals including presidents, that JFK had affairs and used many drugs for his serious medical conditions and lied about those medical conditions while running for president. There is zero doubt of these fact. And all that may well be true, but even if it is, you
believing it is merely an opinion, regardless of whether you believe there is zero doubt.
Your decision to accept something as fact and dismiss something else as false is
your decision, which means it's a reflection of
your opinion.

Again, and this may be difficult for you to follow or understand, this may all very well be true, but
you decided to believe the publication by the NYT about the opinions of a historian, which makes it
your opinion that Dallek was correct and that the NYT reported it correctly.
The hypocrisy is astounding because whenever anybody says anything that does not compute with your opinions about the Kennedy case you instantly dismiss it, based up what exactly........ your opinion, perhaps?
In other words, you have a predetermined mind set and randomly select what you want to believe to be fact based upon your own opinion and nothing else!
This is the main problem you and your ilk have with the Kennedy case. You just believe, for whatever "logical" reasons, that what the WC told you is true and that the evidence is authentic. So,
your belief has become your opinion. The biggest problem with that of course is that you lack the ability to defend your opinion when it comes to details of the case. Every time you are challenged, you instantly dismiss everything, start throwing strawman around and insult people. What you never ever do is reply in detail to a challenge. Having an opinion is fine, but presenting it as fact, just because you believe it, is just pathetic.
