What JFK tried to do before his assassination

Tuesday, March 12th, 2024
This 50 min. dialog below between Chris Hedges and Jeffrey Sacks mainly about JFK’s June 1963 speech at American University is a classic. In my view, it clearly explains why Kennedy was killed and the state we are in today with the war in Ukraine and the increasing risk of nuclear war with Russia/and/or China.  Please share this widely.  Mahalo.

What JFK tried to do before his assassination w/Jeffrey Sachs | The Chris Hedges Report

Excellent video and analysis of our current predicament

That JFK speech in June 63 likely was the final straw for Allen Dulles, former head of the CIA who Kennedy fired, and the Military Industrial Complex gang to carry out JFK’s assassination.
I remember JFK’s assassination like it was yesterday. I was a senior in Catholic High School. When word came that JFK had been shot we all went into the church to pray.

I highly recommend the book –JFK and the Unspeakable –Why He died and why it matters by James W Douglass. Also The Devils Chessboard by David Talbot about Allen Dulles and the rise of America’s Secret Government.

 

Join the Pope’s Call for Peace!

Join The Pope’s Call for

Peace!

Ceasefire Now! No More Weapons! No More War!

Negotiate! Negotiate! Negotiate!

In Ukraine! In Gaza! And Around the World!

Pope Francis said what needs to be said and heard in all conflict situations: All sides need to “have the courage to negotiate” an end to war!

     Instead of negotiations for peace, what we have in Ukraine, Gaza, and other conflicts around the world is more and more death and destruction, with the danger of widening wars that include the risk of global nuclear destruction, and the end of human civilization. Right now before the US Congress is a bill for $95 Billion more military weapons to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. On Tuesday, March 12th the Biden administration announced it was sending $300 million in weapons to Ukraine under an emergency makeshift plan – More weapons, more war, more killing, and destruction..

     It is time for people everywhere, especially US taxpayers, to stand up and say “ No More War, No More Weapons in our names, especially the genocidal campaign in our name and funding by U.S. tax dollars, being carried out in Gaza by Israel. Counties and States are calling for a CEASEFIRE NOW.

Please use this QUICK-CLICK TOOL to tell Hawai’i Legislators to #SUPPORTCEASEFIRE Resos.

The Hawaii County Council will be holding a final vote on a peace and Ceasefire resolution #449-24 on Wed. March 20th . Call your council members to support the resolution and testify on March 20th.
