Historical context: This speech was given just 97 days after JFK’s inauguration on 20JAN1961. We are currently in a very similar time period less than 60 days from Trump inauguration and just 14 days from historical 04MAR date (official beginning of Republic in 1789).
From the speech given by John F. Kennedy, president of the United States, at the dinner of the bureau of advertising, American Newspaper Publishers Association, Waldorf-Astoria hotel, New York, New York, April 27, 1961.
The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society. And we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions.
Even today, there is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That, I do not intend to permit, to the extent that it's in my control. [...] But I do ask every publisher, every editor, and every news man in the nation to re-examine his own standards and to recognize the nature of our country's peril. [...]
Today, no war has been declared, and however fierce the struggle may be, it may never be declared in the traditional fashion. Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared. No borders have been crossed by marching troops. No missiles have been fired. [...] no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. [...] the danger has never been more clear, and its presence has never been more imminent. It requires a change in outlook, a change in tactics, a change in missions, by the government, by the people, by every businessman or labor leader, and by every newspaper.
For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on cove(r)t means for expanding its sphere of influence. On infiltration instead of invasion. On subversion instead of elections. On intimidation instead of free choice. On guerillas by night instead of armies by day.
It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly-knit, highly-efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match.
Part of Kennedy's historic speech is sampled in the song 'Defector' by the band Muse. IMO, it's a great song and music video. Linked here if anyone would like to view: https://youtu.be/kzbFxLNpguM?si=0dYtZ_8d1O9yz408

“monolithic and ruthless conspiracy”. MONOLITHIC because (((they))) are of one tribe, one mind and one purpose.
RUTHLESS. Think of the Romanovs fate, the Gulags, Katyn Forest, the Nakba, the USS Liberty, JFK, 9/11 ….
infiltration instead of invasion... how many of our reps are dual citizens of America and Israel?

And they added invasion about 40 years ago, with of course, the exponential increase during the past four years.
Wow! This is a great speech!
Every time I hear this speech, I wonder if he meant “covet”, “covert”, or both.
Expect both.
At 1:55 there is an American soldier in Europe talking about covid with a white rabbit behind him holding blue and red pill.
Do you guys remember it?
Anyone has a link to this video?
I wanted to find it some time ago and I couldn’t. It was originally on Facebook but it got deleted. If anyone has it please share.
