This podcast largely focuses on US imperialism and its crimes. That said, JFK and RFK were indispensable in terms of setting up the March on Washington and making sure that it went smoothly. JFK wrote the civil rights act that ended Jim Crow even though a huge part of his own party were segregationists. I don't specialize on the civil rights era myself, but Jim wrote a pretty big series on JFK's policies which should help answer your questions: https://www.kennedysandking.com/reviews/the-kennedys-and-civil-rights-how-the-msm-continues-to-distort-history-part-1

Supporting the March on Washington? Whatdid Malcolm X say about the Kennedy administration watering down of the march? Aaron, tell the real history on the “march “.

Do we get a discussion on the Kennedy administration wiretapping of Dr. Martin Luther King?
Walter Murph
Why did JFK pressure Martin Luther king to oust Jack Odell.

That is my thinking as well. It would not be hard to support people this way. I just have a hard time thinking people with the wherewithal to acquire a bunch of money would be such suckers as to believe Jones to the point that they would throw so much money at him...

In regards to whether or not Alex Jones is a plant. I do 100% believe that Alex Jones' massive donations are cut from people/Orgs that are connected to the CIA/US Intel.
