      LOL
      He lied about a "missile gap" in order to frighten the electorate - causing Eisenhower to give his famous Military Industrial Complex speech. Who do you think he was talking about in that speech, if not "Saint Kennedy"?
      In addition to being loyal servants of the Militlary Industrial Complex, the Kennedy clan was also inextricably linked to Red-baiting Communist Witch-hunter Senator Joseph McCarthy, who infamously stood as Godfather to "Saint RFK's' daughter, as well as having dated two Kennedy sisters.
      The Kennedys were among the coldest of cold warriors - they wiretapped MLK under the guise of "Anti-communism" - RFK himself signed off on the illegal wiretaps - this should be viewed in light of RFK's service as an senate staffer/aid to McCarthy!
      Why are you so invested in perpetuating the self-serving mythology of the American Empire?

      America can still be a leader and competitive with China. It's just the bloated defense industry preventing this from happening. If America had real change, diverge funds away from war and put it into development of infrastructure and economic policy for development of technology. It would put the US ahead of China. America playing world police is a waste of resources, these war profiteers are hurting American industry. China will continue to get the upper hand in deals if the US cannot offer anything other than defense contracts. Logical leaders will pick infrastructure development over US military bases.
      RFK Jr is what America needs but due to political bureaucracy, slander, and censorship, he faces difficulty in getting support. If he can get through all the obstacles and get his messages out. America still has hope.

      It's not really even the details that matter. The underlying catalyst of war is fear. When one side strikes, the other becomes fearful and seeks to strike back to ease their fears. Repeat that cycle enough times, and people get lost in the fear and justify the violence. We just need taxpayers to understand their own emotions and how they justify vicious cycles of war. It's not about history, it's about critical thinking. We just need to gain control over our fears.

      To get to the point. Kennedy's final decision was his decree to take away the Federal Reserve's right to print dollars. A right that the initiators of the FED had granted themselves in Congress on December 23, 1913. On a day when very few people were still present in Congress, most of them were already on Christmas vacation.
      That was the background to his murder. It is significant that the first act of his successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, was to withdraw this decree.
      Since then it should be clear to everyone that it is not just any president who controls the USA, it is the masters of the Fed. Who are these initiators of the FED, both Hedges and Sachs know this. It is equally interesting who still runs this FED today and who ran it in the past.
      It's about the rule of money. Which companies are best suited for this? Correct. The military. The military is purely a consumer machine. The only thing they need is conflict. And nothing is easier than creating conflict.
      They are Zionists. And Zionists are by no means Jews and certainly not the Jews. They are people of all kinds. People who rely primarily on a statement from the Torah/Bible, namely that they are the "chosen people", chosen to rule the world.

      Adding to that online fury were widespread anecdotes of social media users being swarmed by Depp fans on Twitter if they spoke critically of the actor or even just sympathetically towards Heard. While the overwhelming theory is that Depp’s team employed the use of fake accounts in Russia (a.k.a. “bots”) to boost support for the actor on social media, a new study reportedly suggests that’s not entirely the case. According to Bot Sentinel, yes, an “organized campaign of widespread targeted harassment,” but there were actual people behind the attacks.
      According to the full report, which you can read here, the harassment campaign was described as “one of the worst cases of cyberbullying and cyberstalking by a group of Twitter accounts that we’ve ever seen.” Bot Sentinel also concluded that Twitter failed to act accordingly to protect users.
      “It’s our opinion Twitter didn’t do enough to mitigate the platform manipulation and did very little to stop the abuse and targeted harassment,” the report stated. “Twitter essentially left the women to fend for themselves with little to no support from the platform.”

    The speech spoken at American University was beyond eloquent. It is my favorite speech of all time. It meant everything to me. I was 10 years old, one mile from Carlswell AF base when we came within hours from nuclear war. My father, packed our car and spoke with SAC to find out the time frame to remove us from ground zero, much less the nuclear fallout. It couldn’t be done in time. The back channel deal the Kennedy’s did with Khrushchev saved America and the world. Allen Dulles killed the Kennedy’s, therefore. My elementary school had us doing drills with moms in cars picking up all the kids and driving out of ground zero. I think of where we are today. Nothing has changed since the assassination of the Kennedy’s. Power truly does corrupt and it truly does corrupt absolutely…Lord Acton, Truman…Years later when my father was elderly I asked him about how we almost came to nuclear war and said, Dad why didn’t you get us out of the country to South America. He said it wouldn’t have mattered the earth would have been devastated at the level of nuclear material released. He would have known. He was a Nuclear Engineer.😮

      You need to ask why the US ruling class has an obsession with hegemony? Whose material interests are served? What would it mean if the USD ceased to be the reserve currency of the world? How would the US finance its debts if US Treasury Bonds weren't the safest financial instrument.
      The problem for Hedges and Sachs is there silence on the crisis of US capitalism. Why can't they say anything about it?
      The contradiction of an integrated world economy divided into competing nation-states cannot be resolved peacefully under capitalism. Germany was the primary aggressor in WWI and WWII because its economy developed late and when that exceeded its borders the world had already been divided among the other imperialist powers. It had to fight for its 'place in the sun'. Today the US is the primary aggressor because, like every great power before, it will not relinquish its wealth, power and privileges without using all the might, force, terror and violence at its disposal.
      There is a force that can stop it. Imperialist war abroad means class war at home. Workers, students and youth are going to be confronted with either supporting the war plans or compelled to consider the need for a revolution. If the principles of the US Declaration of Independence were applied today the government would be overthrown by next week. But the next revolution must be to overturn the anachronistic profit system so workers can democratically control the product of their collective labor, it must be socialist. To do that the most class conscious layers must urgently study history and learn its lessons.

    I’d like to offer a correction re the Soviet sub story, not to nit-pick, but because the man who refused to fire the weapon’s name should be revered worldwide: Vasily Arkhipov. I may mix up details, but this is the gist: The political officer in fact agreed with the sub’s Captain. Arkhipov was the sub’s Exec. Soviet policy for a sub launch required 3 inputs (don’t know if it actually required 3 keys): the sub’s skipper, the political officer, and the executive officer. In point of fact, Arkhipov was outranked by BOTH men willing to launch, yet stood his ground on the premise that, having been out of communication, they had no way of really knowing what was happening at the surface.
    Add to that, that the boat had been harried by at least one US vessel, I believe for a matter of days, and nerves were beyond the ragged edge. That one, sane, courageous, honorable man, under tremendous pressure in so many ways, outranked AND under orders, quite literally saved the world. By refusing the easy thing.
    He should NEVER be forgotten:
    Vasily Arkhipov.

    Thank you for this excellent interview, Chris. I am even more thankful to Professor Jeffrey Sachs for his honesty. The entire world knows today that the US doesn't care about spreading democracy and freedom in other nations. It's sole interest is in military domination and to grab the natural resources for its economic and military hegemony. The World has been a witness of this brutal behaviour on many occasions in the Middle East, Latin America, Africa and Asia.If you ask people around the World, which country they fear would be the most likely to trigger a nuclear armageddon, I'm willing to bet that the US would win hands down.

    My Australian education has taught me all of these facts about JFK, Khrushchev and the point at which the world was almost destroyed. I remember my mother crying on November 23 1963 (we are a day ahead) and my father coming home from the Army in a state of bewildered shock as were many Australians, to the news of the JFK assassination. The fear that the world would end because this man was gone was so strong and I was not able to understand it at all, I was four years old.
    I still see the black and white images on our TV in my minds eye and these days, I don't wonder who did it... The answer is simple and clear and they continue to hide this from the American Public.
    People of the USA, you have been lied to since this event and you have been part of the greatest propaganda scheme in the worlds history. I hope you can wake up, those of you who think that war will answer all things. Giving your life for the defence of your country, fair enough. Giving your life to tell another country what to do and how to live, is it really worth it? So many sons and daughters lost on foreign soil and for what, to show the world the USA is number one...Well that plan turned to shit when Korea happened and every event since. This is the 21st Century, we should be devoted to science and technology, space exploration. Instead we just see the USA KILL, KILL and KILL using WMD's on innocent civilians and call it collateral damage.
    Please STOP these WARMONGERS, for our planets sake and stop identifying yourself as the supreme race. Germany tried in 1939, it failed.

Think about the lost potential in every human being! We live under an oppressive system. If our system was generous and supportive of all its citizens so everyone could have a good quality of life and realize their dreams, it would be an entirely different world.

      @@adityatyagi4009 All right, I'll try again:
      - Oswald owned and smuggled the rifle.
      - Oswald's prints were on the rifle.
      - A man was seen in the window who could plausibly be Oswald.
      - Witnesses directly under the window said the shots all came from directly overhead.
      - No unidentified persons were ever caught inside the building.
      - No bullets or fragments were ever found that didn't match to Oswald's rifle.
      - Victims' reactions in Zapruder's film clearly demonstrate they are hit by the same bullet, and ergo from behind.
      - Connally was demonstrably seated lower, inboard and turned sharply to his right.
      - Multiple and mathematically precise recreations by various investigators over the years have consistently and clearly demonstrated the victims' wounds line up on a direct trajectory and track straight back to the sixth floor window.
      - View of the entry wound on Connally's back would have been demonstrably and completely blocked by Kennedy's body, the same bullet has to have gone through both victims, and ergo, come from behind.
      - Bullet recovered from the stretcher is EXACTLY in a condition consistent with going through Kennedy without hitting bong, slowing and tumbling on leaving him, as it would have done, and then broadsiding its way through Connally's ribs, as medical and forensic evidence clearly demonstrates: badly crushed at the nose and flattened down one side.
      - That bullet was matched to Oswald's rifle.
      - That bullet's legitimacy is backed up by the fact nobody planting a bogus bullet within one hour of the shooting could possibly have known a bullet needing planting at all or that he wasn't simply planting one bullet too many into evidence and blowing the whole plot.
      - Kennedy is very clearly seen in Zapruder's film to suffer a massive, explosive exit wound at the right temple, completely inconsistent with a shot from the front or the knoll but a clear and consistent one with a shot from behind.
      - Autopsy clearly shows the shot came from behind (cratered entrance wound on the back of the skull).
      - Parkland doctors had no particular problem with the autopsy photos demonstrating the shot came from behind.
      - Connally's said the shots all came from behind.
      - Anybody firing a rifle behind that flimsy knoll fence would have been absurdly obvious to all the witnesses only yards away and very visible.
      - The witnesses directly under the sixth floor window would have plainly seen any shooter firing from behind that fence.
      - It's vastly implausible anybody would ever assume they would successfully frame this on a lone shooter from behind while firing away from multiple directions.
      - Oswald was the one and only employee inside the building during the assassination to immediately flee the plaza.
      - Oswald lied to police about his whereabouts during the shooting.
      - Oswald never made any attempt to blow any conspiracy to anybody.
      - Oswald refused to cooperate with any investigator.
      - Oswald refused help from the President of the Dallas Bar Association.
      - Oswald just shrugged a hollow, rambling reply when asked point blank on live TV, "Did you shoot the President?"
      But...
      Have it your way: all credible evidence points to multiple shooters.

    There was also a Soviet early warning system failure in the 1970s I think, that reported a full scale US nuclear attack on the CCCP. The protocol was a full scale counter-launch but the launcher took lots of risk to wait for confirmation and narrowly avoided armageddon. He was later awarded the honour of HERO OF THE SOVIET UNION.
