In October 1962, at age 19, I slept next to the planes with the Paratroopers of the famed 82nd Airborne Division. We were waiting to jump into Havana in what would have been WWIII, if not for President Kennedy.
Russia had placed missiles in Cuba. Kennedy had mobilized our military to remove those missiles while he was in daily contact with the Russians, negotiating a way to Peace.
I am 80 now. Still grateful for president Kennedy’s love for our troops; grateful that he loved us enough to resolve the rush to WWIII by agreeing to remove U.S. missiles aimed at Russia from Turkey if the Russians took their missiles out of Cuba. Which they did.
I voted for President Biden, thinking he might have graduated from his warmongering past to discover a bit of JFK’s heroism for peace. How wrong I was!
Russia, like the United States has a human right to be free from NATO (U.S.) missiles. Most foreign affairs experts agreed. Most foreign affairs experts predicted for decades that if NATO expanded to threaten Russia, we’d be in WWIII. Biden understood that. But Biden does not care. Biden is surrounded by warmongers and fascists from the project for A New American Century, who deliberately led us into this war.
Now the bright spot is Zelensky’s peace offer to insure Ukrainians and Russians that Ukraine will no longer threaten Russia. The U.S. needs to promote this peace.
But on Saturday, Biden’s Secretary of State Tony Blinken, was in Israel trying to drum up more arms from the Israelis and our friends in Saudi Arabia (the folks who did 9/11 and bomb Yemen every day) for the war fighters in Ukraine.
There are many reporters now writing and saying that Biden, Victoria Nuland, and PNAC do not want peace. Biden says his sanctions will damage us all. Biden says we must accept decades more war.
I wonder…..who are these people? They attack us at home by cutting our wages, pensions and close plants. They ship our jobs to slaves in this constant domestic war on workers. And then, they take the domestic war on workers abroad with bullets, bombs and lies. This is their foreign policy.
I wonder….who are these people? Most of them seem to have never had a real job. Most couldn’t care less for working stiffs and our troops. Most of them are somehow the multi-millionaire Elite who are too proud to fight. And thus, the humble do the fighting. We do not need decades of more war. We need a new Peace Movement. We need a new Solidarity Movement. We need Good Jobs for All. We need a raise. We need to get along so our kids can live happy lives in happy communities.
Everywhere.
God bless Dorothy Day, Cesar Chavez, Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy!
I always thought Kennedy's biggest success was his ability to negotiate with Russia and prevent a nuclear war. Back then there was no 24/7 propaganda machine to indoctrinate people, and the main press weren't whores corporately owned. As for your thumbs up for Biden, who I have always defined as a war monger for supporting all our 21st century middles eastern wars. Of course I know it is a neo-liberal agenda that is pushing this war, and I'm sure you know the party through a tantrum at the very idea of talking to Putin, and everyone, including the "progressive" caucus caved. I think the democrats have become so crazy they'll find a way to connect Pelosi's husband's assault to Russia.
Well, before Kennedy ran for office in the 60's the great divide had already occurred between the Soviet Union and the US. In the 40's, Truman had his Marshall Plan that was meant to see that no more countries that were politically unstable due to the war would wind up in the communist camp, like Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, etc, and of course from the beginning a divided Germany. In the late forties you already had NATO and in the 50's the Warsaw Pact, and I know they vied for power in countries around the world that were unstable across continents. The Soviet Union made out big time in China. A winner. Then there was Korea. I wonder what Kennedy's decision would have been in terms of Vietnam had Eisenhower not established an agenda of involvement and had he lived longer. Before he was murdered, maybe he would have said no to that war no matter the degree of his escalation initiated in the beginning of his presidency. So, getting back to your statement, what exactly did you think they would we talking about when Kennedy ran for office, other then how he would strengthen our nuclear arsenal? It was an ongoing saga since the end of WWII. Even when it comes to Cuba it was Eisenhower's plan and his idea about overthrowing Castro, and Kennedy did take strong responsibility for the Bay of Pigs. He owned up to it's stupidity, and it was Khrushchev who did put up that Berlin wall. Of course this escalated the military tensions, and the military industrial complex made out big time. The Soviets also engaged in nuclear testing, and Kennedy followed suit. Scary. the Bay of Pigs which thankfully ended well. If Kennedy had listened to some I may not be responding to your post. After the Bay of Pigs Kennedy did make a concerted effort to direct America toward peace, and when he was killed things softened up between the US and the Soviet Union. Remember the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty? Why do you choose to vilify this president?
Look Kennedy ran his presidential campaign in 1960. A lot happened between the end of WWII and 1960, and the cold war was well underway when he became president. He didn't instigate the cold war, and I give him credit for eventually attempting to deescalate the tensions between the two countries. Other presidents like Truman and Eisenhower were very instrumental in creating a divide between America and Russia yet you fail to focus on their role, and that does not mean I approve of some of the tactics Kennedy used, like the Bay of Pigs, which the previous administration orchestrated, and Kennedy went with it. Everyone died. However in the end he made many efforts to implement peace between the Soviet Union and the US. What about that Hotline, or the limited nuclear test ban, and didn't he call for a strategy of peace? I am not saying America good, Russia bad. I am not that black and white in my evaluation of things. You are simply interpreting it that way. Your type of rigidity is a good example of what Kennedy overcame in the end. The end.
I never thought about the possibility that he was murdered because he wanted to pull out of Vietnam, don't know that he did, but maybe that was the reason. I'll have to look into that. Never thought Oswald did it.
Biden isn't the one making any decisions, he was (s)elected specifically because he's a stones throw away from being a braindead zombie. (Much like the rest of America in another sense while we're at it)
The NWO/Globalists are making the decisions.
As to your question above, "these people" are anti-Christ-ian types. Dig a little bit more (not on Google) and you'll find the answers to that question. Warning, we've all been inculcated that they're beyond reproach for one or more reasons.
Americans don't like the answer to that question because it kicks their existing world view straight in the nuts and renders it lifeless. Hence, they'd rather go down with the ship, which is exactly where we're going for that very reason.
Yuri Bezmenov's statements on Americans being demoralized have come to full fruition, in spades and then some.
As these injections continue to take their toll in an exponential manner over time, between that and the civil unrest deliberately being caused, anyone not spiritually prepared for death is making a drastic mistake in our world of drastic depopulation. I mean SMH when people on talk shows and elsewhere applaud the massive depopulation agenda. What, as if they've been chosen to survive that. LMAO Honestly, ...
You can cherry-pick examples all you want. Mexico is nowhere in better conditions it was decades ago.
As for China, it's been a calculation by their government to have people work at wages that made it profitable for foreign companies to produce over there and import. Those wages are considered slave wages in the companies' countries which is why it's more profitable for them to produce over there even including the transportation costs. Of course, they managed to install free trade to make it even more advantageous.
But there are countless countries that didn't have a government to see it at least lifted the poor out of their misery. Thailand and Bangladesh come to mind. In any case, corporations didn't relocate there out of commiseration for their people and they sure didn't ask if first world workers thought it was worth it to become unemployed for that cause.
As for 9/11, if you have to make a peer reviewed research to demonstrate the official narrative holds water, there's a problem. But I don't expect you to understand that
I am reminded of Mark Twain's main disagreement with the military, which I agree with: "I don't like to kill people, until I get to know them a little bit."

Your dislike for this family distorts your vision and perhaps the author you keep pushing substantiates your own biases.

Our jobs are actually "shipped to slaves". As for who did 9/11, his guess is as good as yours
