TWO PRESIDENTS HAVE WARNED THE PEOPLE OF THE SECRET SOCIETIES – JOHN F. KENNEDY, AND NOW DONALD J. TRUMP. On April 27th 1961, JFK delivered a speech about “Secret Societies.” The speech was delivered at the American Newspaper Publishers Association in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Here are some highlights, the full speech is in the video and a link to the full transcript below article excerpts. After first relaying the story of Karl Marx and all the “isms” created from his writings, he went on to speak of the Presidents versus the press and the lack of privacy it lends. He...

Fact checks on the United States' COVID vaccine timeline expose how outlets like NBC, The New York Times, and The Washington Post are willing to attack American aspirations to score political points.Long gone are the days of Snopes assuring readers there isn’t a million dollars waiting in a Nigerian bank account for them. Distant are the happier times when fact-checks assured us there was no hook-handed hitchhiker killing our grandparents on the local highway. Today, we see an alliance between corporate media and corporate tech titans to squelch debate, silence conservatives, and literally censor regular Americans, dissenting scientists, newspaper competitors,...

I've been working like crazy 'in the front line' of coronavirus transmission this week and forgetting to accurately chronicle the tyranny imposed on us using COVID-19 as an excuse. Today is Day 251 of the Dictatorship of COVID-19 as measured here in Pennsylvania. And here he is the man who would have been America's first President of Jewish heritage had he been elected in 1964. A man whose ancestors were Russian Jews demonized as a "hater" and an "anti-Semite" and an admirer of Hitler's Germany, a "racist" Barry Goldwater speaks of defending "liberty" and "justice". "extremism in the defense of...

“For 15 years of my life at the top of the Soviet bloc intelligence community, I was involved in a world-wide disinformation effort aimed at diverting attention away from the KGB’s involvement with Lee Harvey Oswald. The Kennedy assassination conspiracy was born—and it never died.” (Ion Pacepa, the highest ranking intelligence official ever to defect from the Soviet bloc.)“Of all the people I interviewed in New Orleans regarding the Kennedy assassination, Carlos Bringuier was the one I trusted most. I could see in his eyes he was always telling me the complete truth.” (Oriana Fallaci, L, Europeo, 1969.) “The skinny...

In this current era of no compulsory military service, Veterans Day takes on personal meaning to fewer and fewer Americans. When the country transitioned to a voluntary military in 1973, about 1% of the population served on active duty. Today, it is less than one-half of 1%. But perhaps we can take it further and say that the idea of compulsory service of any kind has personal meaning to fewer and fewer Americans. This brings to mind the famous words of newly elected President John F. Kennedy in his inaugural address, on Jan. 20, 1961, 60 years before our next...

Welcome to the weekend and here we are still doing it the way we've always done it whether the "trolls" like it or not. Wake up and smell the coffee about certain realities the coronavirus situation and restrictions related to it likely to be tightened in the face of the numbers but the election situation perhaps giving the governors being told by Washington and people like Dr. Deborah Birx and Dr. Anthony Fauci a pause...

Party loyalty runs so deep -- and is connected to so many past battles -- voters struggle with an identity crisis when confronted with the reality that the Democratic Party has long left Mass-attending Catholic workers behind. EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA — Religion runs deep in eastern Pennsylvania. Through mountains and valleys, in once-thriving mining and factory towns, Catholic steeples dot low skylines. In smoky pool halls, Monday afternoon drinkers would rather talk about the Knights of Columbus than national politics. Man for man, they’re lifelong Democrats — or once thought so. It’s common for American families to transmit political values from...

"Freedom Is Everybody"s Business Your Business My Business The Church's Business And A Man Who Will Not Use His Freedom To Defend His Freedom Does Not Deserve His Freedom"..... "You had the numbers. So when Ammon Bundy was arrested why did everyone leave as asked? If you make them arrest everyone everything changes"... Am I "Saved" When It Comes To Politics? If by "saved" you mean do I support President Trump the answer is "Yes" because I see the need for the "wild card" because the rest of the political landscape is so bleak and barren. People who believe in...

If Abraham Lincoln and Christopher Columbus no longer pass woke muster in Boston, then it’s time for the Kennedys to go. And everything with their names plastered on it — the JFK Library and JFK federal building, his statue at the State House, the Kennedy School of Government across the river, the Rose Kennedy Greenway, the Edward M. Kennedy Whatever They Call It, etc. Everything must go! Profiles in Courage? The Kennedys were more like Profiles in Caucasity, as that woke Harvard gal said this week before she too got canceled. Let’s start with President Kennedy. Just for starters, he...

President Trump gave a thoughtful and measured address that put Iran on notice, allowed them to save face, and turned the tables on his leftist critics. President Trump’s speech was reminiscent of the actions President John F. Kennedy took during the days of the Cuban Missile Crisis. In 1962, the Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba and Kennedy drew a line in the sand in saying that Soviet nuclear missiles would not remain in Cuba. However, once announcing that course he gave the Soviet Union wiggle room to make this end happen. He put a blockade 800 miles off...

While vising the home state of his Vice-President Lyndon Baines Johnson, November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Texas. The youngest President ever elected, being 43 years old, he was also the youngest to die, barely serving 1,000 days. Kennedy was on his way to the Dallas Trade Mart to deliver a speech, in which he had prepared to say: "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...

[These missiles in Cuba are] “nothing but refugee rumors. Nothing in Cuba presents a threat to the United States. There’s no likelihood that the Soviets or Cubans would try and install an offensive capability in Cuba," said a sneering National Security Advisor, McGeorge Bundy, on ABC’s Issues and Answers, Oct. 14, 1962.“There’s fifty-odd-thousand Cuban refugees in this country, all living for the day when we go to war with Cuba. They’re the ones putting out this kind of stuff (about missiles),” said a sneering President John F. Kennedy on Oct. 15th, 1962.“The USSR could derive considerable military advantage from the establishment...

Inextricably linked to the death of John F. Kennedy, surgeon Robert McClelland dutifully preserved the blood-soaked white dress shirt he wore the day he tried to save the president's life in 1963. For the rest of his life, the retired professor emeritus of UT Southwestern's medical school also clung staunchly to a contentious opinion forged firsthand: that one of the shots that had struck Kennedy had come from the front, which would require the existence of a second gunman. Robert Nelson McClelland, the lone dissenting voice among the operating-room doctors who tried to save the president at Parkland Memorial Hospital,...

The days of New York City’s Tammany Hall and the Windy City’s “Chicago Machine” may be technically over, but that doesn’t mean Democrats have given up trying to rig and steal elections in a neverending power grab that would make Mayor Daley blush. Not by a long shot. In fact, you can bet the farm that virtually any cockamamie proposal put out there by anyone with a D beside their name is specifically designed to do one thing and one thing alone - get votes. Oh, I know they like to pretend they’re all about “virtue” and “values” and helping the...

Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee announced Friday that he is running for President, launching a bid in which he intends to make combating climate change the central rationale for his campaign. Inslee announced the bid in a video made public on Friday. He is slated to hold a news conference in Seattle at a solar panel installer to expand upon his presidential announcement. He will be surrounded by friends, family and business owners who the campaign says have benefited from his climate policies in the state. "I'm Jay Inslee and I'm running for president because I am the only candidate...

In a surprising op-ed, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), who has announced she is running for President, called out fellow Democrats for fomenting “religious bigotry” during the confirmation of some of President Trump’s recent judicial nominees. Although she did not call them out by name, Senators Mazie Hirono (D-HI) and Kamala Harris (D-CA) were undoubtedly in Gabbard’s crossfire, as both Democrat Senators recently (and repeatedly) asked Brian Buescher, a nominee to the U.S. District Court in Nebraska, about his affiliation with the Knights of Columbus, a faith-based, service organization that supports the Catholic Church’s historical teaching on marriage, abortion, and human sexuality. With around two...

On his last day, according to historian Alan Brinkley, he woke up as a president "with admirers and detractors, a man with a record -- some of it good, some of it not. "By the evening of that day, he had become a legend, enshrouded in a fog of grief and posthumous adulation from which he has never fully emerged," Brinkley said. ...The number of books written about John F. Kennedy surpasses 40,000... How JFK went from history to memory -- which is how we choose to remember history -- and how that memory was shaped, is the subject of...

I just noticed no one has posted on this world changing event 55 years ago today In short. JFK was the last real Democrat who was tolerable He stood up for us versus the commies He cut taxes dramatically Bobby was a crime fighting anti mobster. DA That is the reason they were killed by the power structure We must remember besucase they are open about doing this to our great president Never forget. Nov 22 1963. The day the world stopped

Those who think “Fake News” started with Trump’s term and the media’s “slobbering love affair” with a U.S. president started during Obama’s should have seen John F. Kennedy’s term.  Imagine Obama's term with no Fox News, internet, social media or talk radio. Imagine press conferences where the reverence and adulation for Sarah Huckabee Sanders surpasses anything Hillary Clinton gets as a guest on The View. That’s about what JFK and his press secretary Pierre Salinger enjoyed. And tragically, the fairy tales Kennedy’s court scribes (with their adoring media cohorts of the time) concocted about JFK’s Pattonesque handling of the Cuban Missile...

“JFK had a legendary love life.  Did one of his affairs connect him with the mob?” (CNN, promoting its Kennedy family hagiography, March 31, 2018.)“Legendary” –whether morally-neutral or complimentary or both-- is not exactly the terminology CNN is employing with regard to President Trump’s “love life.”  Consensual and discreet adulterous affairs distant (both time-wise and geographically) from the White House do not qualify a “love life” as “legendary” with CNN. But apparently, feeding amyl-nitrate poppers to a starstruck 19 year-old, taking her virginity in the very White House bed and directing her to fellate a 50-year old friend while watching does. Or...
