While I was traveling this last week, I stopped into a magazine and news store while I was at the Phoenix airport. I was desperate for something to read. I really didn’t want to jump into a new book so I decided that a magazine would do. I was a little confused as I was seeing so many John F. Kennedy retrospectives. I thought, why is there a sudden interest in Kennedy and the attempts at establishing what has been called Camelot?

After perusing several of these magazines I realized that all of the nostalgia was about how people are going to be observing his 100th birthday on May 29th.

Being a sucker for a historic retrospective, I gave in and read about John F. Kennedy and his life. He was born to Rose and Joseph (“Joe”) Kennedy on May 29, 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts. John was born into wealth and was part of an influential Irish Catholic family.

After graduating from Harvard in 1940, Kennedy served honorably as a World War II naval officer from 1941 to 1945.

Among his military decorations, Kennedy earned the Purple Heart and the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for leading his crew to safety when their patrol torpedo boat was rammed by a Japanese destroyer.

The year following his discharge from the Navy marked JFK’s entry into politics. In 1946, Kennedy became a Democratic congressman from Massachusetts, and six years later, he won a seat in the U.S. Senate.

Shortly after his senate victory, Kennedy married Jacqueline Bouvier, also from an affluent and influential family. Together they had two children, Caroline and John, Jr. Continuing his political climb, Kennedy earned national attention in 1956 when he was nominated for Vice President.

Even though he lost that nomination, it was only four years later when Kennedy became the Democratic nominee for president. Perhaps that election is best remembered for Kennedy’s presidential debates with Republican opponent Richard M. Nixon — the first televised presidential debates in U.S. history.

Kennedy ended up defeating Nixon in one of the closest presidential elections of the twentieth century to become the youngest person, as well as the first Roman Catholic, ever elected to the U.S. presidency. The challenges presented by the Cold War and international politics informed many of President Kennedy’s executive initiatives.

By 1961, the Soviet Union was ahead in the space race, having launched a satellite and orbited a man around Earth. Motivated by Russia’s successes, Kennedy expanded the U.S. space program and vowed to land a man on the moon by the end of the decade.

In June of 1963, Kennedy attempted to smooth relations with Russia in a speech he delivered at American University, now entitled the “Peace Speech.” It was one of the most remarkable speeches ever delivered by an American president. It was broadcast all across the communist Soviet Union, the first time that had ever been done.

“What kind of peace do we seek? Not a PAX Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living. The kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children. Not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women. Not merely peace in our time but peace in all time. I speak of peace in the new face of war. Total war makes no sense.” —President Kennedy

History will tell us that this speech was a controversial one in so much as he said that he was ending the Cold War. He also wanted to end the collective hostility towards Russia.

It was a radical idea and a very dangerous one insofar as he was concerned. The Cold War against America’s World War II partner and ally had been used to convert the United States from a limited-government republic to a national-security state, one consisting of a vast, permanent military establishment, the CIA, and the NSA, along with their broad array of totalitarian-like powers, such as assassination, regime change, coups, invasions, torture, surveillance, and a few other nefarious activities.

Everyone was convinced that the Cold War and the so-called threat from the international communist conspiracy that was supposedly based in Russia, would last forever, which would naturally mean permanent and ever-increasing largess for what Kennedy’s predecessor, President Dwight Eisenhower, had called the “military-industrial complex.”

Suddenly, Kennedy was upending the Cold War apple cart by threatening to establish a relationship of friendship and peaceful coexistence with Russia, the rest of the Soviet Union, and Cuba.

Kennedy knew full well that his actions were considered by some to be a grave threat to “national security.”

Those who hated Kennedy used this as proof of collusion with and adversarial nation.

This controversy was addressed by Jacob G. Hornberger in his blog entitled, “The Russian Obsession Goes Back Decades.” In his essay he notes: “What lots of Americans don’t realize, because it was kept secret from them for so long, is that what Trump has been enduring from the national-security establishment, the mainstream press, and the American right-wing for his outreach to, or “collusion with,” Russia pales compared to what Kennedy had to endure for committing the heinous “crime” of reaching out to Russia and the rest of the Soviet Union in a spirit of peace and friendship.”

In fact, Hornberger also paints a comparison of what Kennedy went through and what we are seeing in the media as they continue to push a Russian Collusion Conspiracy. This comparison was also used by Senator Ron Paul in his recent blog:

Which President had the following accusations cast against him:

1) He has betrayed the Constitution, which he swore to uphold.

2) He has committed treason by befriending Russia and other enemies of America.

3) He has subjugated America’s interests to Moscow.

4) He has been caught in fantastic lies to the American people, including personal ones, like his previous marriage and divorce.

Of course this all sounds like it could be all about our current President – but we know that these accusations were also being made by vicious opponents of President Kennedy.

Ron Paul opined about President Trump’s alleged involvement with Russia. Paul equated Trump’s relationship with Russia to assassinated President John F. Kennedy’s attempts to extend the olive branch to the USSR, a move which got him killed, according to some historians.

The Ron Paul Liberty Report writer described Kennedy’s actions during his tenure as president, which ultimately cost him his head, literally.

Kennedy always spoke of how he wanted to get America moving again – as today Trump says he wants to make America great again.

Underestimated by their opponents, Kennedy and Trump waged unconventional campaigns.

Kennedy won by one of the thinnest popular vote margins in U.S. history up to that point; Trump lost the popular vote by the biggest absolute margin ever for a winning candidate. Both elections were polarizing.

What we’ve seen from Trump since the election and in the first weeks of his presidency suggests the parallels won’t cease. For him, that could be where the trouble starts.

Kennedy angered the Deep State, National Security establishment when he negotiated with Russia to end above-ground nuclear testing, promised to remove American troops from South Vietnam, and began secret talks to end the Cold War with Russia and Cuba.

With Trump being accused this week of passing classified information to Russian diplomats, history is rhyming again as it has been proposed that the president crossed the same lines in the sand which Kennedy crossed, a move which had angered the latter’s national security enemies so much, they allegedly plotted and eventually were successful in assassinating him, pinning the blame on patsy, Lee Harvey Oswald.

If it can be shown that Kennedy did, in fact, turn emphatically away from war as a solution to political conflict; did, in fact, as he was being urged by his military and intelligence advisers to up the ante and use violence, rejected such advice and turned toward peaceful solutions, then, a motive for his elimination is established.

Unfortunately, if history repeats itself, Trump is apparently treading on thin ice from members within his own government. We know that Kennedy was assassinated by nefarious secret government entities within the Deep State, and it is worrisome to see that same apparatus may come after Trump, too.

As his 100th birthday approaches it is also important that remember another part Kennedy’s of Kennedy’s peace speech that if we applied it we could change the course of a possible destructive future for our country.

“We should let each nation, choose its own future so long as that choice does not interfere with the choices of others. The communist drive to impose their political and economic system on others is the primary cause of world tension today. For their can be no doubt that, if all nations could refrain from interfering in the self-determination of others, the peace would be much more assured.” —President Kennedy.

We know that no president since JFK has dared to buck the military-intelligence-industrial complex. We know a Pax Americana has spread its tentacles across the globe with U.S. military in over 130 countries on 750 plus bases. We know that the amount of blood and money spent on wars and war preparations has risen astronomically.

There is a great deal we know and even more that we don’t want to know, or at the very least, investigate.

We now see that in the timeline we live in, the tables have turned.

To younger generations, the Kennedy legacy is one of history and not of experience. Imagine a time in history that you have experienced, but that generations after you have the same interest in it as they would the Lincoln assassination. Even then, that type of history is a subject of a required history essay for a good grade.

As a follower of conspiratorial history, I can say that once again, the mainstream media has failed to capture the controversy that John F. Kennedy’s so-called collusion with the former Soviet Union generated and how it led to his eventual assassination.

The conspiracy theory that has been spun by the mainstream media against President Trump is yet another example of how the intelligence cabal under the direction of the police state owns the media and is making a concerted effort to delegitimize the president and to destabilize our government.

Names, places and ideas are lost in the accepted history and the conspiracy history is equally forgotten. There are many authors and investigators that have admitted saying all there needs to be said about the Kennedy assassination, however, there needs to be precautionary comparisons indicating a counterfeit or counter-intuitive Camelot is being built up only to be later burned to the ground as a burnt offering to the Deep State.
