      I was born in 1979 and I feel like I have been personally robbed for something. I don't know what I have been robbed of, but I feel like I have been robbed. Is there a police station that will take my statement? I am not joking about this question.

      He wanted the American people to have true freedom and public electric utilities so he had to die. Equal rights for all races and women. He wanted to increase funding for NASA and decrease funding for defense dept. He believed that the journey to space would produce the systems of peace.

      harvest usher he was known to be a speed reader. Due to illness he spent a lot of his childhood in bed and had nothing better to do than read, thus he developed a special skill. There are theories that he was dyslexic, which to some extent I believe. I think quite clearly Robert Kennedy was.

    Lots of suffering had to happen to get to that point. Kennedy captured it perfectly. As an Irishman I could not be more proud. Pound for pound, Ireland is one of the greatest countries in the world in terms of its influence in culture and its symbol of earned freedom. And props to Kennedy for making that speech because it was a big finger to all the major powers but he did it anyway because it was good and right. Hats off to you sir.

    This bit is missing from this video sadly: "This has never been a rich or powerful country, and yet, since earliest times, its influence on the world has been rich and powerful. No larger nation did more to keep Christianity and Western culture alive in their darkest centuries. No larger nation did more to spark the cause of independence in America, indeed, around the world. And no larger nation has ever provided the world with more literary and artistic genius. "

    In this speech J.F.K. mentions the Battle of Gettysburg - the most decisive battle on the American War. This war reunited the American nation which had been divided when the Southern states seceded from the Union. The assembly that J.F.K. addressed was the Dáil in Dublin, which has jurisdiction over only 5/6 of the Irish nation because the Partition imposed by Britain in 1920 separated 6 of Ireland's northern counties from the rest of that small nation.

      Yes, it would’ve been. He wanted peace with the Soviet Union & also Cuba & the rogue agents of the CIA - & the FBI - wouldn’t let that happen. So he was hit & Oswald was set up, both for the President & police J.D. Tippit. But. In 1963, all that the government & the media spewed out - we believed. Such a tragedy, which literally stopped the World during that weekend.

      @Razor Mouth☘️ Yes I think Trump was being careful. Perhaps he was warned. I found recently that the is a curse done by an Indian chief in 1840 against all Presidents that are inaugurated on a year ending in zero. Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Harding, Roosevelt and Kennedy either were assassinated or died in office. Reagan almost died and Bush Jr. was part of the Deep State so no attempts on his life. Maybe Trump was told to let Biden be President so he could save his life

    • @javiervalverde2374
      @javiervalverde2374 2 года назад

      @Razor Mouth☘️ The Indian chief gave the curse to William Henry Harrison in 1840 because of his taking of Indian land. Harrison died in office 30 days later.

      Most wars and many other catastrophes were caused by the very people Jack warned us about. They've been at it for centuries apparently. Our history books lie, perhaps not about everything, but so much that man's perception of our world is skewed from reality. Intentionally done to keep the public complacent and ignorant. The veil is lifting, but if we do not do the right and moral thing now, our children will perish in darkness. The past year has proved that this fight is to the finish. We are sadly reaching the precipice. Falling to your death or learning to fly are our only options.

    Kennedy had his battles mixed up. The Battle of Antietam/Sharpsburg was was fought in Maryland.on September 17 (not 13), 1862.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Antietam
    The Battle of Fredericksburg was fought in Virginia on December 11-15, 1862.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Fredericksburg
    What's more, at Fredericksburg the Irish Brigade assaulted a Confederate position defended by Col. Robert McMillan's 24th Georgia Infantry (an all-Irish regiment.)

    no one could deny but that this statesman had vision.his ability to atriculate this vision drawing so often as he did on literary figures many of them irish joyce,yeats and others made his public utterances beguiling and enchanting.his ability to stand tall and deliver his speeches with such gravitas and authority made him a compelling statesman to listen to.small wonder that where ever he went and whenever he spoke one could hear a pin drop.very few public figures of his time or other times would ever again have such a mesmerizing effect on those lucky enough to hear him speak.small wonder that the english speaking world still laments his passing and misses his great vision.we should be so lucky that at heart he really was one of us
