Agreed. Much kudos for the receipts in a world where rumors sell.

Candace Owens discusses the JFK assassination and recently released files, asserting that "conspiracy theorists were right." She frames the discussion around the idea that questioning the official narrative, especially regarding Israel's influence, is often labeled as "anti-Semitic."

Historical Context:

• Eisenhower's Warning: President Eisenhower warned about the growing military-industrial complex, a "shadow government" with undue influence. JFK echoed this, advocating for peace and opposing endless wars.
• JFK's Anti-War Stance: Kennedy's speech at American University (June 10, 1963) emphasized peace over war, just months before his assassination.

JFK vs. Zionist Organizations:

• American Zionist Council (AZC) and FARA: JFK's Department of Justice demanded the AZC (precursor to AIPAC) register as a foreign agent under FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act). This would require disclosing funding and expenditures, revealing potential foreign influence.
• Timeline of Resistance: Owens details a year-long struggle (1962-1963) where the AZC resisted registration, incorporated AIPAC, and launched a PR campaign, claiming the DOJ's request would harm Jewish opinion.
• FBI Involvement: The FBI considered intervening due to the AZC's refusal to register. The AZC claimed registration would "destroy the Zionist movement."
• JFK and Israeli Nuclear Weapons: JFK strongly opposed Israel's nuclear ambitions, leading to heated arguments with Prime Minister Ben-Gurion.

Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ):

• Reversal of JFK's Policies: After JFK's death, LBJ, his Vice President, reversed course, supporting war (Vietnam) and aiding Israel's nuclear program.
• Pro-Israel Stance: Israeli newspaper Haaretz called LBJ Israel's "best friend," noting he blocked Eisenhower's attempts to cut aid to Israel.
• Possible Jewish Ancestry: Speculation (from Jewish sources) suggests LBJ had Jewish ancestry and that his aunt, Jesse Hatcher, was a Zionist, potentially influencing his pro-Israel stance.

CIA and Blackmail:

• CIA Corruption: JFK recognized the CIA's corruption (e.g., MK Ultra) and wanted to "scatter it to the wind."
• Alan Dulles: CIA Director Alan Dulles (1953-1961) oversaw illegal operations. He also led the Warren Commission, which produced the official (and contested) report on JFK's assassination.
• Amy Magazine Article: Owens highlights a 2021 article from Amy Magazine (an Orthodox Jewish publication) titled "Blackmailing Rockefeller: The Scandal That Helped Israel Become a State."
• The Witness Tree: The article discusses John Loftus's book, The Witness Tree, which alleges that Reuven Shiloah (founder of Mossad) blackmailed Nelson Rockefeller and the Dulles family over their Nazi connections.
• Eleanor Dulles: Alan Dulles's sister, Eleanor, allegedly provided Shiloah with documents exposing her brothers' Nazi ties after her Jewish husband's suicide.
• Mossad's Founding and Blackmail: The article claims Shiloah used this blackmail to secure votes for Israel's creation at the UN.

Information Warfare and Propaganda:

• Wikipedia: Owens cites a video of Naftali Bennett (former Israeli Prime Minister) discussing training Zionists to edit Wikipedia, ensuring a "Zionist" perspective.
• Control of Information: Owens argues Israel has long understood the importance of controlling information, influencing education, media, and public opinion.
• American Jews: She urges Jewish Americans to recognize they are also being influenced and to prioritize their American identity.

Conclusion:

Owens suggests a complex web of influence, blackmail, and control, questioning whether America has been "occupied" since the 1950s or 60s. She encourages critical thinking, questioning official narratives, and resisting name-calling (like "conspiracy theorist"). She also mentions that she will be off air the next day, and she will be back on Monday.
