Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
Researchers who have investigated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy for 30 or more years have concluded that he was murdered by a conspiracy of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CIA, and the Secret Service. See for example, JFK And The Unspeakable by James W. Douglass. Shortly before he was murdered, President John F. Kennedy gave an extraordinary speech at American University. In the speech he came out against continuation of the Cold War that risked all life on earth for the benefit of the profits of the military-security complex and the budgets and power of the Pentagon and CIA.
President Kennedy was already marked for assassination. He rejected the Joint Chiefs’ belligerence toward the Soviet Union and their belief that nuclear war could be won. He rejected Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lemnitzer’s “Operation Northwoods,” a plan to carry out false flag terror attacks on Americans and blame Castro in order to create support for a US invasion of Cuba. He rejected US Air Force support for the CIA’s Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. He worked outside of channels with Khrushchev to defuse the Cuban Missile Crisis. The paranoid anti-communists who controlled US military and security forces concluded that President Kennedy did not serve their career interests and was soft on communism and thereby unable to stand up to the Soviet Union. They viewed Kennedy as a threat to US national security that needed to be removed.
A new peace movement, NoWar2016 has utilized part of President Kennedy’s speech to build interest in its September 23-25 conference at American University. David Swanson points out the difference between President Kennedy’s approach to the Soviet Union and Washington’s approach to Russia today. There was hope in Kennedy’s approach. There is no hope in the approach today.
Listen to Kennedy’s speech and despair that such brilliant and fearless leadership was snuffed out by the military-security complex.
Like almost all Americans at the time, Senator John F. Kennedy regarded the Soviet Union as a threatening adversary. He campaigned for the presidency on “the missile gap,” the presumption of which was that the Soviets were gaining military supremacy over the US. But once in the Oval Office, Kennedy witnessed the extreme risks that US military leadership was willing to impose on American lives in behalf of a war than no one needed. He realized that the US military-security complex was as great a threat to life as the Soviets. He understood that tensions between the two nuclear powers had to be defused, not increased. Once reelected, he intended to cease the US intervention in Vietnam and to discipline the CIA. Kennedy’s approach was not acceptable to the military-security complex, and he was eliminated.
“He rejected the Joint Chiefs’ belligerence toward the Soviet Union and their belief that nuclear war could be won.” OK, so they eliminated Kennedy – why didn’t they wage a nuclear attack on Russia? “Once reelected, he intended to cease the US intervention in Vietnam and to discipline the CIA.” That’s entirely possible, but it could also be revisionist history from Kennedy lovers who don’t like the fact that he got us mired in Vietnam and OK’d the Bay of Pigs invasion. Their way of exculpating Kennedy is to say he was killed for being a peacenik. Maybe, maybe not. Maybe Johnson just wanted to be president.
The book referenced in the article, “JFK And The Unspeakable by James W. Douglass” was, in part, based upon declassified material as a result of the outpouring of citizens demands after the JFK movie of the 90s. Read the book and you may just change your opinion of JFK.
“Once reelected, he intended to……”.
JFK apologists love to start sentences with those words. Then they can construct any narrative they want. Sorry, but I never bought into Camelot. At best, JFK was only an average president with above average intelligence. At worst, he was a drug-addled sex addict who was only elected because dead people can vote in Illinois.
Damnnnn!!!
No mention of the Israeli nuclear plant or the federal reserve in this article.
And no pic of MM’s tits
A short video. Sums up the state of so-called Western Democracy
Camelot, sounds good; but do you know the story line? Martial infidelity and deceit, sounds like the Kennedy administration.
Sounds more like the Clinton administration.
How about Kennedy’s printing US Notes? Bankers with their credit notes would take a big hit. Bankers aren’t the most moral persons and I can see their hands all over his death. Plans for a one world gov and currency can only be achieved thru a fiat ‘printed out of thin air’ currency.
I’m sorry, but I smell bullshit.
Sooooo … the same guy who stared down the Soviets for thirteen days in 1962 (Cuban missile crisis) and by every reasonable indication was willing to launch American nukes and thereby initiate WWIII …………. THAT guy was TOO PEACEFUL??
HAHHAHA.
I’m wondering if PCR is even worth reading anymore.
I think you probably stepped in it
I greatly dislike people who present conspiracy theory as fact. I don’t have a clue as to exactly who or why kennedy got whacked. I am fine with all theories being on the table. But that doesn’t make those theories factual. Is is just me, or has the volume from the hysteria faction really been turned up in the last month or two? Things are headed down the best possible path. It’s not the time for hysteria, it’s time to take stock of where you are, and what lies ahead. Fretting about an assasination fifty odd years ago is a total waste of time.
It’s just you, star. The only hysteria I’ve seen is from a few libtard trolls who surfed in on the heels of the twitter feed.
Not talking about commenters, ed. PCR and Kunstler were who i was thinking of.
Then it’s still just you. Those two have been as hysterical as a PMS afflicted female for years. 😉
True dat! Starfucker…about the 50 years thing.
LBJ had JFK killed. It’s as simple as that.
Why does Texas give us so many shitty shitty shitfuk politicians? Something in the water?
BTW, it wasn’t a bullet that killed JFK. President Kennedy’s head simple caved in on itself at free fall speed.
If you watch the video in slow motion you can literally see his head turn to dust almost instantaneously, and fall on the back of the car before the pieces of his skull…amazing…
Aw Stucky
Only you can pull a thread from Ted Cruz to 911 to LBJ. A trifecta of sorts. I do agree that it seems that folks have glossed over JFK’s complicity in starting war in Vietnam.
Here is an interesting article about where we are headed. It basically touches all the same points as my ultra popular “maff” post from last year. We are a little farther along, should be easier to imagine at this point. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/07/20/trumps-making-america-first-again-putting-main-street-back-on-top/
He was hit with a Nano-Nano-Thermite-Torpedo before he collapsed at free fall speed. I Know that because I saw a YouTube video, nobody is gona fool us Truffers.
Droll Stucky….very droll.
ASIG
Is that your head up your ass or do you have a really large roid?
Geeze Bea he was trying to make a funny. Lighten up man.
Rob- If it had been close to funny I could agree with you, it wasn’t. Two days in a row with the truffer bashing.
Bea, what’s the opposite of a truther? Somebody eager to swallow lies passed off on TV. Fuckin TV addicts. Fuggedaboudem.
Ed
Some people here making cracks about me taking things seriously could not find their own ass with both their hands.
I think this is the last time I will make a comment in a blatant truffer bashing thread. But I will say if you can dish it be ready to take it. All things considered Ed you are right, braindead tv watchers.
Rob
Not to worry – Bea Lever easily gets upset and needs to lash-out. I think he’s funny
He just let me know I hit a raw nerve. He really takes that shit serious. Must be an important part of his life, poor guy.
No worries. You have to wonder what could have been with JFK. I do think he would have been better President then LBJ. But not by much seeing as the 60’s was a flustercuck of turmoil.
Don’t think he would have added the great society to fdrs raw deal. Imho.
Leave the Gun. Take the cannoli.
St. John of Hyannis, bullllllllllllshit.
