1. Catherine & John,

   Lets remember the speech made by President John F. Kennedy at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York City, April 27, 1961.

   The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.

   But I do ask every publisher, every editor, and every newsman in the nation to reexamine his own standards, and to recognize the nature of our country’s peril. In time of war, the government and the press have customarily joined in an effort based largely on self-discipline, to prevent unauthorized disclosures to the enemy. In time of “clear and present danger,” the courts have held that even the privileged rights of the First Amendment must yield to the public’s need for national security.

   Today no war has been declared–and however fierce the struggle may be, it may never be declared in the traditional fashion. Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired.

   If the press is awaiting a declaration of war before it imposes the self-discipline of combat conditions, then I can only say that no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are awaiting a finding of “clear and present danger,” then I can only say that the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent.
   
   It requires a change in outlook, a change in tactics, a change in missions–by the government, by the people, by every businessman or labor leader, and by every newspaper. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.

   Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match.

   1. Yup. About the time he visited Forrestal’s grave.

2. Well colour me (not) surprised. The great Thomas Massie explains the money going to Israel in one go. Time to call my Congressman and tell him to stop, ditch the AIPAC handler. Thomas Massie reveals his Republican colleagues have Jewish AIPAC agents as “babysitters” (bitchute.com)

   1. Yup. Would make a big difference if Congress critters no longer feared AIPAC and any aggressive lobbyists.

3. Why did you veto Amazing Polly?

4. Miss Catherine, I am like you war covers all the death etc from the jabs and magic virus. Will it just be limited conventual or full on nuke? The elite eg Ted Turner want the world population at 2 billion. Gates said if they did a good job on vaccines the population could be reduced by 10 to 15 percent, time line of both back in 2010. Biden lied about weapons just at border, they hit two or Russia’s early warning nuke systems and tried for a third. They want war, I pray every day the wars to be stopped. One last point, in a 4th Turning major wars have happened 5 out of 6 times. So the elite know the dynamics are ripe for war.

5. It doesn’t get more stark. Reality v. insanity trance. I have had some good laughs watching M&M from time to time, but John’s video with the woman who swore her dog is now a vegan… Dog knows reality right away.

   Discussion of the slavery and human trafficking at the US border. I found 35:16 and the discussion of belief rather than personal responsibility interesting.

7. I did enjoy this interview with Massie as well. It seems he is the only person in Congress who still abides by the Constitution of the United States.
