In 1963 , just a few days before Thanksgiving, John F Kennedy was murdered....I use this term rather the assassination because he was indeed murdered... not because he was a Democrat or any political party persuasion but because of what he stood for, what he believed, and most importantly ,what he was about to unveil to the American people and to the world.
In his brief political career he had gained an insight to the most insidious, corrupt plan to destroy the nation by any means possible. Those in charge and in power knew the truth must be destroyed before it was revealed. The only way they could conceive since he could not be persuaded nor bought was to silence him and they did.... and yes got away with it....or so they hoped.
JFK was to deliver a speech in Dallas on that terrible day. He would make his comments in which the ground work for the uncovering of this insidious plan would be unveiled. Here are the words laying the ground work :
“We in this country, in this generation, are — by destiny rather than choice — the watchmen on the walls of world freedom.
We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility,
that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and
that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of peace on earth, goodwill toward men …”
He continued:
“That must always be our goal — and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength.
For as was written long ago, ‘Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.' "
JFK understood the need for America to remain free and understood what was occurring to unravel that precious thing called "Freedom"
April 27, 1961 he addressed the American Newspaper Publishers giving a brief glimpse into what he saw in store for this country if certain groups were successful.
The last paragraph is indeed telling of todays media.
“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 are opposed around the world by a … ruthless conspiracy that 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.”
And so we come to this time ...57 years later...and those with a sense of history and the ability to honestly see and understand the words of warning JFK was trying to convey know that these works of evil Kennedy warned of are stronger than ever. They have succeeded ...seemingly .. to have thwarted another voice crying in the wilderness of the dangers our Republic faces.
Theodore Roosevelt expressed the same message in this statement and thus the conclusion of my Thanksgiving message :
Thanksgiving Proclamation, October 24, 1903:
“In NO OTHER PLACE and at NO OTHER TIME has the experiment of government OF the people, BY the people, FOR the people, been tried on so vast a scale as here in our own country …
Failure would not only be a dreadful thing for us, but a dreadful thing for all mankind … It would mean loss of hope for all who believe in the power and the righteousness of liberty.
Therefore, in thanking God for the mercies extended to us in the past, WE BESEECH HIM that He MAY NOT WITHHOLD THEM IN THE FUTURE.”
