The very first time I heard this speech, I had absolutely no idea what he was going on about. Now I feel nostalgic for the days I didnt know what he was going on about.
I'm right there with you BB...
Once we have the eyes to see & the ears to hear, it gets deep.
"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracythat relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas 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."
~JFK, "The President and The Press" Speech, April 27, 1961
I read somewhere many years ago, and I couldn't find it again just now, that said Nixon was talking to someone a few years after his presidency where he said something along the lines of: "...it's a beast. I couldn't stop it."
(contextually, it was inferred to be as it relates to the same "conspiracy" JFK spoke of)
"...there was a fourth beast (world empire), dreadful and frightful and exceedingly strong; and it had large iron teeth (western weapons for devouring people); it devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder wiht its feet; and it was different from all the beast that were before it; and it had 10 horns (leaders, G10?). Daniel 7:7.
"Thus he said, The fourth beast will be the fourth kingdom upon the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms; and it will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it." Daniel 7:23
AND President Kennedy was VERY PRECIENT on this VERY FACT and I want to say that there was a VERY GOOD REASON FOR HIM TO GIVE THAT SPEECH and I do think that is what got him killed!!!!!!!!
