WHAT WOULD JFK THINK?

The meme below perfectly captures the downfall of a once thriving nation, before the Deep State/CIA murdered John F. Kennedy, ushering in the welfare/warfare state, built upon debt, consumerism, egotism, and technological distraction. The image is sad, deeply disturbing, and accurate.

The ongoing degradation and decay are a consequence of the nation turning its back on personal responsibility and service to community as reflected in JFK’s viewpoint of, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country”. LBJ’s Great Society encouraged the destruction of the family – particularly black families, while setting in motion the accumulation of current and unfunded welfare debts. What can your politicians give you to buy your vote. The selling of feminism to females further destroyed the traditional family and has resulted in the state raising our kids in their indoctrination centers, to the detriment of society.

The credit card was introduced in the late 1960’s and has enslaved generations in unpayable high interest debt, as citizens devolved into consumers through propaganda spewed incessantly by the mainstream media, convincing the masses to keep up with the Joneses by buying today and paying tomorrow. The masses have been programmed to buy fast food, liquor, smokes, etc. using credit cards. Americans now owe more than $1 trillion and delinquencies are currently soaring. An enormous percentage of Americans have no ability or desire to defer gratification by saving for what they need or want.

During JFK’s presidency, Americans were forced to defer gratification. In today’s bizarro world, JFK’s political positions would classify him as a far right demagogue by the now far left media.  The Wall Street cabal, and their puppets at the Federal Reserve, promoted and encouraged the financialization of the world, resulting in a debt enslaved class and a debt enriched class. The printing of fiat (Fed issued debt) has allowed politicians to wage endless wars, deficit spend to infinity, create inflation to benefit themselves, and enrich the bankers and billionaires pulling the strings of society. The gap between the Haves and Have Nots has never been greater.

As millions of lawless diverse savages swarm across our southern border; the diverse savages already occupying our urban shithole cities storming and looting the fast food joints and few remaining retail outlets; corrupt politicians militarizing the judicial system, rigging elections, provoking and funding wars across the globe, and accelerating the nations spiral towards bankruptcy; and an apathetic, dumbed down, sickly, obese, indoctrinated, igadget distracted public allows it to happen, our nation in no way resembles the nation on November 22, 1963 when they murdered JFK. We will never return to Camelot.

Check out the people in the bleacher seats at a MLB stadium in the 1950s. Men in ties and jackets, women in dresses with colorful hats. That is respect. Now they dress like the homeless, get drunk and beat on each other..

Herd animals act alike. If the media programmed people, and the clothing makers phased out other options, the vast majority of people could be programmed to dress in pimp suits or a Cavaliers outfit or powdered wigs or like the Flinstones.

Respect has nothing to do with it. It’s about conformity.

Back about 1983 you could buy a “Big beer” at Fenway for a buck fifty, it was maybe a pint and a half or two pints. It really was a Big Beer.
Literally the cheapest beer in the back bay at the time. We used to go to the game buy a $2.50 bleacher seat or a $1.00 SRO ticket and have quite a time with Lord Baccus. Dem were da days, dem were da days. And if it was a Friday night game, it was a total shit show.

I remember one year I got two Braves tickets from my job, back when they sucked so bad I couldn’t give them away and nobody else wanted them at work. I went to mall and while I was shopping I decided I would leave the tickets on the shelf by the front door so somebody could get some use out of them. I went back a couple of days later to see if anybody took the tickets, and there were three more sets of tickets on the shelf along with mine.

We should never lose sight of the historical threat Islam poses for the West. Muslims have been trying to conquer the West since the 700’s. Now they have added a new tactic we call illegal immigration but which is more aptly called silent invasion. There are no other conflicts with Islam because they only have the strength to fight the tiny country of Israel. Wait until they get the bomb!

I was no fan of John Kennedy then and not now either he was a democrat from a rich family and in a lot of ways had no idea of how the average guy lived or did he care. All the women he banged and the press kept it a secret or it would have ended his career as far as being in government. He was killed for some of the things he wanted to do to big oil and the CIA was pissed by what he did to the Cubans and LBJ knew they had the goods on him and he would have probably ended up in jail . In all reality nothing has changed much only now they are trying to end Trump by using the law and if that fails they will have him knocked off one way or another. The democrat party is not the party of Kennedy now they are out and out communists and the RINO party is not far behind the only difference is now we have the MAGA party which they all hate and are afraid of. The wide open border will bite the ruling class in the ass sooner or later.

Far more importantly insofar as the cause of his assassination were 2 agendas he was trying to achieve: to have israel’s nuclear weapons agenda — which relied heavily upon stolen bomb plans and stolen fissionable material — brought to an abrupt end; he also had his brother RFK — the Attorney General — push to have all of the J Street PACs register under the 1938 Foreign Agents Registration Act … which, of course, every jew fought tooth and nail. In fact, one of LBJ’s first official acts as POTUS was to have RFK back off of that agenda …

Let’s make the full connection here and not beat around the bush any longer. The ‘CIA’ / ‘Deep State’ were formed by and are still controlled by the Rothschild Global Central Banking Cabal (BIS). They do nothing on their own, it’s all part of their pre-planned diabolical agenda to destroy and enslave what’s left of America. The only way to reverse this trend is total eradication of the private central banks (BIS) through worldwide revolt! The central banks are the root cause of all debt, poverty, inflation, war, social degradation and recurring economic cataclysms.
