Memory lane: RFK announces his candidacy (Yawn fest)
CSPAN ^ | MARCH 16, 1968 | RFK

Posted on 11/16/2022 7:52:56 AM PST by central_va

Robert F. Kennedy Presidential Campaign Announcement This CBS News report covered Senator Robert F. Kennedy (D-NY) announcing his bid for the 1968 presidential nomination, challenging sitting President Lyndon B. Johnson. The announcement and press conference is followed by a CBS interview with Senator Eugene McCarthy (D-MN) who was also running for president. In the March 12 New Hampshire primary, McCarthy had received 42 percent of the vote to LBJ’s 49 percent.

Ok since we are comparing announcement speechs, this one is VERY low energy and lasts about 5 minutes.

Ok, so Trump gives an hour++ long speech and he is low energy? In comparison RFK’s speech was 5 minutes. Trump is incredible. He acts “Presidential” and he gets criticized? You know what Mr Trump, let err rip. F these people.

Also, announcing less than 8 months from the election... unheard of in modern America where the campaigns seem to last almost 1/2 a presidential term now.

It is kinda hard to dodge a bullet when it is fired one inch from your ear...

The same Deep State that killed him is after us now.

Be careful what you wish for...

“A Democrat hack of the worst kind.”

He would not have been killed if that were true. He had less than three months left when he made that announcement.

LBJ withdrew on March 31. One reason ostensibly given was that he didn’t think he would live through another term.

As it happened, he died two days after the 1973 inauguration.

Oh, well.

Eerily, RFK, hotel speech was remembered last night
as DJT came out to speak. At the time, prayers were
sent up that history would not be repeated, allowing DJT
to walk away from the mic after his announcement, no shots
being fired.

RFK would not even be a Republican today, and neither would JFK. Too Conservative.

RFK spent most of his political life fighting organized crime.

Today’s politicians spend most of their political lives being organized crime.

Many public events are coded with Gematria and numerology, often pointing to the Jesuits and the Freemasons.

The Masonic master numbers 11, 22 and 33 figure prominently in both the JFK and RFK assassinations.

JFK was killed on the 22nd day of the 11th month near the 33rd parallel. Dealey Plaza was named after George Dealey, a 33rd degree Scottish Rite Mason.

RFK was shot on June 5th (and died in the early morning hours of June 6th). Add month + day of shooting (6+5) = 11. He was shot by a .22 caliber pistol. Los Angeles is close to the 33rd parallel. “Sirhan” reduces to 33 (Full Reduction Gematria cipher).

The day he announced his candidacy to the day he died (March 16 to June 6) is a span of 83 days. 8+3 = 11.

The number 9 is pretty much a constant in world events.

The day RFK died, 6-6-1968, has numerology value of 9:

6+6+19+68 = 99. In numerology, 99 can mean 9+9 (18), or 9x9 (81). Both 18 and 81 reduce to 9. Another reduction of the date is 6+6+1968 = 1980; the zero has no value and is dropped. 1+9+8 = 18, which reduces to 9.

“JFK” in the four main Gematria ciphers all reduce to 9:

27 (2+7) = 9
  9    = 9
54 (5+4) = 9
18 (1+8) = 9

If you are going to make these posts, please include a paragraph about exactly why you think this stuff is important or relevant.

Just saying “Jesuits” is not helpful.

Papists? Never would they do this to “their own”. Except people do things to their own every single day. Murder, rape, especially rape. All those young boys just wanting to serve God, end up being served.

JFK was a lefty that destroyed America.

Homelessness when he closed down the mental hospitals, he unionized federal employees, sent 16,000 troops to Vietnam, and the thing that killed America, JFK’s immigration campaign platform and goals to replace Americans with 3rd world voters and was passed upon his death, the 1965 Immigration Act.
