JFK's most important speech
Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes - 12 hours ago
This is the speech that got JFK killed - along with some other issues that pissed off the CIA, mafia, and Wall Street.... It is my understanding that the national media largely ignored this speech - thus few across the nation ever knew about it. It ran against the prevailing political agenda of endless war and Washington's global domination post WW II. Things haven't changed much since then - in fact they've gotten worse. You'd never hear a Bush, Clinton, Obama, Trump, Biden or others in either major party in this country talk like JFK does in his speech. We need voices like J...
