Joseph Kennedy
Where each worldview places it
A "deeply crooked" Brotherhood crook and Pilgrim Society member who made a fortune from Prohibition. He succeeded Mellon as US Ambassador in London and was behind JFK's rise[1]. And the Truth agrees he was "a sinister character who operated in the criminal underworld", a bootlegger and pro-Hitler ambassador who later allied with the Jewish lobby and the Mafia to make his son president[2].
