  • Canadian here, I feel the exact same way... like why is no one taking firm stand against this guy!

  • Would love to be in the guy's head for just 5 minutes, to see if he's high or crazy or what.

  • Thanks, apology accepted. Thanks also for the link, saved it.

    In his entire speech, he never mentions Russia in any form. Meanwhile, he does refer to some enemy in plural form, that is advancing from around the globe, i.e. "those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe", and "this nation's foes", etc. He also warned against religious involvement in politics in a different speech, which I think has gone mostly ignored at our own peril. People scoff at religion if they themselves aren't religious, ignoring the fact that the leaders of the world are mostly very religious people (whether sincere in their religion or not). I mention this because I suspect these two were somehow connected in JFK's mind.

    For the sake of objectivity and truth, I'm trying to take into account my lack of any firsthand perspective. I just honestly cannot see how he was talking about the Soviet Union alone when I read what he said and how he said it. It honestly seems to me he had to be talking about something far greater.

  • What I'm trying to get at is 1) Exactly what this thing is that JFK was talking about; and 2) Whether this precise thing has continued to exist since JFK's time up to today. With the very elaborate way JFK was speaking, it sounds to me like it had to involve more than just the Soviets, and not like something that would have easily and suddenly died off. But I suspect you must be right, that the Soviets were and obviously are significantly involved still. Maybe I'm just asking an impossible question.

  • A monolithic and ruthless conspiracy: What was John F. Kennedy referring to?

    Jump

  • If he was talking about nothing more than the Soviet Union, why didn't he simply say 'we are opposed around the world by the Soviet Union'? Seems like a very complicated way of saying Soviet Union. And no, the schools I went to didn't teach about covert global conspiracies, the likes of which John F. Kennedy was clearly warning us against.

    Jump

  • So you're saying JFK was referring to the CIA when he talked about a "monolithic and ruthless conspiracy" from around the world?

    Jump

  • It was mostly before my time, so I don't have that kind of insight. When I read it, it sounds to me a lot like what we see happening in the U.S. today.

  • Far too many people think that Jesus from the Bible was light skinned, even though he grew up in what we call the Middle East.

  • Far too many people only think they're following Jesus.
