EDITOR’S NOTE: In a recent excellent post by our compatriots at Duran, where the two Alexes (Christoforou and Mercuris) talk to renowned professor of Economics Jeffrey Sacks, who rightly starts the discussion with the famous “Peace Speech” by JFK, a commencement speech at American University. Among numerous noteworthy excerpts, JFK reprimands the warmongers and asks Americans to try and change their view of the Russians – then the Soviets… Please watch the first 15 minutes of the Duran interview with Jeffrey Sacks and then enjoy the historic Speech by JFK…
================
History Lessons:
The Soviet Union placed nuclear missles on Cuba in retaliation for NATO’s missles in Turkey, basically setting the dogma of “we will not allow encroachment into our own back yard”
JFK picked up the phone and chatted with the Soviets, instead of making “big statements” in front of cameras and media… missles were withdrawn, and “backyards” were mutually respected for decades later.
Fast forward to G. Bush senior’s promise to Gorbachev “NATO won’t expand” into the former iron curtain…
Fast forward to the 2014 overthrowing of a legitimate government in Kiev
Fast forward to statements of the “big back yard” (Ukraine) joining NATO
Why wasn’t the policy of JFK adhered to by “later successors”?
Why didn’t the world’s politicians refrain from making “big irretractable statements” in front of the media instead of focusing on “closed door diplomacy” to prevent an armed conflict in the Ukraine?
Why did anyone think that Russia would abandon a 60 year old policy of keeping hostile nuclear powers (NATO) away from it’s “back yard”?
It is hard to believe that the billions of dollars spent to pay “intelligence agencies” would not have yielded a conclusion about the probability of an armed response by Russia. This must mean that “they” wanted an armed response. However, is the ultimate outcome what they expected? That’s the big mystery here…
No big mystery… arrogance blinded those puppet masters.. now they are frightened that they will lose their money and power after a new reserve currency is created by the BRICKs… so they are trying to send Manuel Macron into o the bricks meeting in South Africa to spy for them.. Macron is known to serve the Rotchilds
I stand for my country! 🇺🇸 I am deeply grateful for having lived way back when HFK was our president. Here is a short video bathed in truth who JFK was. Joe Biden is the devil in disguise President. Joe stands for Pride flags! JFK stood for the American flag and We the People!

My heart is broken. JFK embodied everything that was America. Many tears. I will do for my country. I will do God’s work. I will never concede to this evil put upon us now. I am an American. 🇺🇸✝️
It was JFK Secret Socidty speech of 1961 which got him assassinated beyong the fact that he was planning to get out of Vietnam War and additionally was going to breakd up C.I.A “Into little pieces because he was fully aware that they were nothing more that they with the FBI, DOJ have always been the clearing house for the Crimse Syndicates of the Democratic and Republican Parties deep state.!
And like Durham report .. they censored information and promoted misinformation as we are seeing now… and in the Secret Society speech..you appealed to the Press to meet thiis challenge !
Today C.I.A Director Casey once said … “I know the C.i.A has done itss job , when the public believes all information is false”
1961 – Secret Society speech … I think we can all agree… we aer now living in a complete takeover//
“This deadly challenge imposes upon our society two requirements of direct concern both to the press and to the President–two requirements that may seem almost contradictory in tone, but which must be reconciled and fulfilled if we are to meet this national peril. I refer, first, to the need for a far greater public information; and, second, to the need for far greater official secrecy.

The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which 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 insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.
But I do ask every publisher, every editor, and every newsman in the nation to reexamine his own standards, and to recognize the nature of our country’s peril. In time of war, the government and the press have customarily joined in an effort based largely on self-discipline, to prevent unauthorized disclosures to the enemy. In time of “clear and present danger,” the courts have held that even the privileged rights of the First Amendment must yield to the public’s need for national security.
Today no war has been declared–and however fierce the struggle may be, it may never be declared in the traditional fashion. Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired.
If the press is awaiting a declaration of war before it imposes the self-discipline of combat conditions, then I can only say that no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are awaiting a finding of “clear and present danger,” then I can only say that the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent.
