John F Kennedy’s Secret Society Speech before the American Newspaper Publishers Association where he warns the press about the secret societies that are the real power in global affairs, was not only relevant in the day, but is more relevant now than ever.
Although JFK’s speech took place decades ago, the words ring especially true today.
“…and we are as a people, inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, the secret oaths and secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweigh the dangers that are cited to justify it.”
“Even today there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today there is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that in announced needs for increased security, will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its means to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.”
“For we are opposed from around the world by a monolithic and 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 descent is silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.”
“Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed.”
“…and that is why our press is protected by the 1st Amendment, the only business America specifically protected by the Constitution, not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply give the public what it wants, but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crisis and our choices, to lead, mold, educate, and sometimes even anger public opinion.”
[Ken adds:]
It seems to me that the press is not fulfilling their expectations and are instead more interested in profits via amusement and entertainment, and emphasizing the trivial, giving the public what it wants… etc. rather than challenging and indicating our true crises and choices. They certainly shy away from angering public opinion (not good for ratings).
This change in the press was “key” to enabling a much quicker, powerful, and unseen empowerment of secret agencies and entities who we now find out are spying on all of us, amongst other things.
Having heard this speech today, I thought I would share some of the words here, as it is uncanny, and speaks towards some of the major changes that have come to pass… creation and empowerment of secret agencies/entities, the government-media-complex, spying on Americans (and probably most others), a compliant, soft and willing press, all of which used to be considered conspiracy but is now proven fact.
Interesting times…
One of the organizations that JFK was talking about is The Council On Foreign Relations,they are one of the members of the NWO.There are so many others though,but they put up a good front,and try to make anyone that speaks about them look like they might be a little out there.Hopefully there really are a lot of folks waking up to what has been and is going on.The people behind the scenes are starting to get a little impatient due to the fact of how all of these worldwide problems with economies,and unrest in a lot of countries,and the NSA keeping up with everyone in the world,that they are starting to push for a faster takeover,that is why all of these problems are happening faster and faster.Be prepared and ready.Keep your powder dry.
JFK is not talking about the CFR and if you had listened to the entire speech instead of the snipet you would know that he is talking about Communism.
Great warning speech…Too bad no one listened. If we all know who the enemies are then why are we not rounding them up?
Speaking of Presidents. It is coming up on election time. Who will be the next president? I’m only one voice but this would be the ONLY person I would vote for: General Colin Powell. He is what America needs to straighten us up. His background in military would be crucial. Di you know that General Colin Powell said if HE was president he would ” put two 20ft fences around America. Arm it with electric wires and manned towers. The illegal immigrants here would be deported back to there home land and finger prints taken and no other outside country would be allowed until the removal is complete.” He goes on to say much more about this subject and how America needs to stop embargos, build factories here to make the things we use. This is the thinking of a true blood American! If “I” would bleed to keep the red in a flag I couldn’t imagine what he would do. I realize why he wont run as president, our government has black balled him because of what he said. We don’t need a president that has no balls and wont do what is right by Americans. If he ran… Read more »
I don’t know too much about Mr. Powell, but if what you say is correct, then I would vote for him too!! That makes 2 votes now! Can we do a write-in??? Go Colin!!!!!
Wildbill:
I’m sure your motives are totally pure. But do some research before you “vote” for Colin Powell. Do you know that he supports B. Hussein Obama? Did you know that Powell endorsed BHO in the 2012 election cycle? (Based, in my opinion, on the color of their skin.)
Powell gives speeches for tens of thousands of dollars. He’s “one of them” and not someone I’d want in control of anything. In my book, he’s replaced Benedict Arnold.
Yep, he would do a great job running the country, between his visits to Bohemian Grove.
really starting to wonder re this Edward Snowden thing….Supposedly Hong Kong did not hold him/turn him over to U.S., due to the U.S. have an incorrect Middle Name, and a spelling error in another.
First, I could for sure see Hong Kong telling the U.S. to eat grass.
However
Second….. However…. the more often I read that the U.S. spelled His Name wrong/got it wrong, the more I am starting to wonder —- WHAT is up????
It is not reasonable to me that this is realistic, to “accidently” spell his name wrong/get the middle name wrong.
If it actually happened (and the U.S. is not saying it didnt)…It seems much more likely it was ON PURPOSE.
so…WHY???????
Either there is someone typing that form in the US who wanted it delayed, or the US was trying to give Hong Kong a way to save face???? Just two options that might have happened.
to Illinoisian says:— yes, those are good points…
also, … what if it was all ochestrated by U.S.?….
Wondering – Sure made everyone stop talking about the bugging of the AP offices (which was really turning the press against the Admin). Now I hear the same MSNBC talking heads who were ever railing against Obama over the AP issue now lining right up to praise their handling of that CRIMINAL Snowden. All so convenient right?
Michael C…— it all seems contrived to me…I keep thinking it ALL looks like a distraction, for something BIGGER…Just cannot imagine what.
a google search would turn up more information than anything nwoden revealed
JFK was talking about the zionist israeli dual citizens in congress! On June 4, 1963, a little known attempt was made to strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the government at interest. On that day President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order No. 11110 that returned to the U.S. government the power to issue currency, without going through the Federal Reserve. Mr. Kennedy’s order gave the Treasury the power “to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury.” This meant that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury’s vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation. In all, Kennedy brought nearly $4.3 billion in U.S. notes into circulation. The ramifications of this bill are enormous. With the stroke of a pen, Mr. Kennedy was on his way to putting the Federal Reserve Bank of New York out of business. If enough of these silver certificates were to come into circulation they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve notes. This is because the silver certificates are backed by silver and the Federal Reserve notes are not backed by anything. Executive Order 11110 could… Read more »
The debt is almost $17 trillion not $6 trillion.
The press (conservative and otherwise) is worthless because something like 85% is owned by 6 major corporations. Those major corporations are only interested in making a profit and maintaining the status quo. They can’t rock the boat or report on the real dirt going on behind closed doors. They are part of the problem.
At one time there were restrictions on how many newspapers any single person/company could own, how many radio stations, how many news outlets in a single market, etc which kept all the news organizations honest and hunting for the next story. Then the large corporations/lobbyists and rich campaign contributors bought both parties and the news outlet restrictions have slowly been whittled away. Thank you de-regulation.
There are still some independent news organizations that report on the dirt but they are few and far between. They have to be part of the 15%.
