Pretty much every point he raised was sadly ignored by most. We are now living in the world he tried to warn us against.
If you have never watched this, sit down and watch it. This is the root cause of all the upside down world mayhem we are experiencing.
It’s simply about money and power wielded by those nearly unaccountable to the citizens, whose entire objective is war.
The documentary “Why We Fight” is based on this (epic) speech and is well worth watching 👌
Clued in now for a couple years but the question remains, what can we do in that system? Nothing has supported the hope that came initially from understanding the situation.
It's more than influence they run the show
The MIC is the most powerful establishment in the world, and it's not even close
Checkout the book “JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters”.
It starts with Eisenhower’s quote, and then goes onto discuss how much it was top of mind for Kennedy when he was president.
Super interesting.
On my list
my theory is jackie was the target, not jack. and they missed.
Do you mean John?
no.
Wym?
huh?
What do you mean?
about what?
Your theory... Could you explain?
it's fairly simply stated. what confuses you?
You didn't mean John. Why would Jackie be the target?
because the aim was to control jack by killing his wife, not killing him. from a bounty standpoint, you don't kill the primary target: you manipulate everything around them to control their decisions. she was more intellectually dangerous with regards to her nuanced understanding of global social elite protocols than he was as well. as evidenced by her lengthy career as an editor/writer/social influencer amongst the global elite.
how's that.
Not a bad explanation, but why are you calling him jack? His name was John.
I half assumed that is where you were going, but I figured it'd be better to ask considering you didn't provide enough context.
jack and jackie kennedy. there is different context in the reference. look it up. it's in the book 👆🏻.
Oh wow. I didn’t know John was called “Jack.”
I was today years old
that happens around me a lot... ☀️🤙🏻
i was just asked who killed the literal kennedy, so here's my theory based on my historical research over the years: his dad killed him by accident - but he was trying to have jackie assassinated. he hated how much control jackie had over both jfk and rfk. she protected them outside the joe kennedy model because she was from old french society. she knew everyone and everything. joe concluded he couldn't direct jfk policy toward his desired goal with jackie "meddling" as he saw it, and several of his plans were foiled because she outsmarted him. jfk would have been a shoe-in for re-election with a murdered wife and a widower father. he would have gotten 90% of the vote easily. joe was early underground intelligence, before the literal cia existed. anyway: that's my theory. sometimes the simplest answer makes the most sense. no one wants to think their parents will ruin their lives/kill them. they will. it's more common than you might imagine.
RFK Jr. said recently it’s the best account of his uncle’s assassination.

Public policy the captive of a Scientific, Technological Elite.
I think he was talking about Climate Change.
I was 9 when he gave that speech. I've lived through what has happened since. I wonder if we'll ever see people of that character in office again.
RFK
We did it! 🫂
War is as old as time—it just depends what side of it you want to live on.
I like he’s call to low time preference
It is rare to witness prophetic people speak. Ever more rare for them to be president. I'm sure many of the prophetic individuals we learn about, it took centuries for the masses to understand the weight of their words.
Insolvency. Bickering and hate. Techno-scientific elite. Unaccountable military industrial complex.
All the writing was on the wall.
“Only an alert and educated people can keep the military industrial complex in check.” Unfortunately, many of today’s government agencies obfuscate facts and information from the public as if it were part of their mandates. They trump up issues of little import and make them divisive and overblown so as to keep our minds focused away from the roots of our country’s problems. #btc fixes some of this, but we need a WAY more educated and suspicious population.
Eisenhower warned that "Public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific, technological elite."
It would seem everyone has been building a tower of babel for the last 100 years whether they know it or not.
The warning regarding the Military Industrial Complex, and particularly the power of government contractors and corporations in the private sector over government, is a warning that rings true today as much if not more than it did then.
militarization focuses social movement on conflict of all varieties. even artificial intelligence development has the military industrial complex built into its model because its guardrails are designed to antagonize natural human interaction though language misuse. the new weapon is language - by programming agi with artificial definitions of certain trigger words, ai will always repeat the same tropes it believes to be true. if it is trained to believe a fascist premise is "free speech" to it: that's accurate. that is a weapon because it causes social chaos within communities without access to the reality of the programming: almost everyone. meanwhile, they become unreasonable and refuse to listen to those who try to explain the issues because they have been reprogrammed to think about language implicitly not explicitly.
This speech is why my dog is named Ike!
Go check the Biden families stock positions in armament companies just before taking office.. you’ll suddenly see why hunter was digging around in ukraine
