Why Was JFK Murdered?

Lew Rockwell -

A few years ago while traveling to Connecticut I came across a book written by James W. Douglass, “JFK and The Unspeakable, Why He Died and What It Matters”. At the time I thought it was just another book with more of the same worn-out conclusions. I had no interest in reading it. It wasn’t until recently when I came across an interview given by Lew Rockwell, that my interest in this book reached a renewed level of curiosity. Reading JFK and The Unspeakable prompted me to write to you today.

Mr. Douglass taps into an entirely different approach. His approach is less about “who” pulled the trigger and more about “why” citizen denial overwhelmingly took hold of our nation’s mindset, in addition to the role of government’s plausible deniability, and how these elements allowed the unspeakable to occur.

Before I continue some of the terminology and circumstances Mr. Douglass discusses will need a brief explanation:

Citizen denial is a term that should be easy to understand. The difficulty is to determine whether citizen denial was the mindset in 1963 and whether it is our mindset today.

Plausible deniability is a term coined by the CIA during the Kennedy administration. It is a term used to describe the withholding of information from senior officials in order to protect them from repercussions in the event that illegal or unpopular activities by the CIA became public knowledge. Does the lack of evidence make the denial plausible, meaning that it then becomes, credible? Is plausible deniability a tactic used by the CIA today?

The explanation of the unspeakable is perhaps the most interesting, yet it might also be the most difficult to grasp. It should be noted that Mr. Douglass developed a deep admiration for the writings of Father Thomas Merton. Father Merton was born in France in 1915; he was a Trappist Monk, a poet and spiritual writer, social activist, and student of comparative religion. It was Father Merton who coined the phrase “The Unspeakable” that Mr. Douglass uses in the title of his book. “The Unspeakable” as defined by Father Merton and as it is understood by Mr. Douglass is, “an evil whose depth and deceit seem to go beyond the capacity of words to describe.”

Mr. Douglass wants us to consider whether the unspeakable succeeded due to citizen denial, because the truth was hidden from us due to plausible deniability by government agencies. He presents a compelling argument that President Kennedy was assassinated by unspeakable forces, and he provides highly detailed and intricately linked evidence based on his own research and a vast array of some of the best scholarship.

      That seems to be the case Pat, the question is why? From my research it seems to be he stood up to the bankster cartel, to create a gold backed Dollar, that would never do!

        I think that Kennedy was fired at from all directions. The driver turned in order to confirm that the fatal shot had hit before he sped up. He was in on it alright, but I don’t think that he fired a shot. His job was to get Kennedy into the kill zone and keep him there until the deed was done.

        I believe that they would find a gold backed dollar acceptable today. I also believe that a gold standard would not be in the best interests of the people today. An interest free credit based system if used wisely, would be best. In 1963 they still had to decouple the rest of the Bretton Woods signatories from gold. Kennedy was going in the wrong direction (for them) for sure. The fiat money system has allowed the plundering of the wealth of the people through inflation. The vast money printing exercise allowed the buying up of assets e.g. Exxon, ExxonMobil. It has allowed the rise of the corporation and the consolidation of wealth in the hands of the few. What we are seeing today (NWO) is the corporation being transformed into the “authorities” (Dublin Airport Authority, G4S). They are stepping into the shoes of government. Governments are bankrupt with fictitious debts created by private hands; public private partnership will aid the transition. The sad thing is that the barstewards couldn’t even do it with their ill gotten gains, they had to create the bailout situation. The whole thing was planned. Why do you think these leaders are laughing when they meet to discuss the “crisis”? If it wasn’t planned (conspiracy theory), then all the leaders of western nation are thick as two short planks and so are all their advisers and think tanks. I know which one is more believable. The Irish government didn’t give away our resources and squander money(HSE computers don’t work, but don’t ask for money back) before the crisis for no good reason. They wanted the government to become bankrupt in order to facilitate a fire sale.

        What I am not sure about is if governments are to be replaced totally by the corporation or will governments continue to act at agents of the corporations in gathering revenue. Maybe the first option would be best as governments do not act in the best interests of the people any more than a CEO would. I don’t get a warm and fuzzy feeling with either option. Any thoughts?

    Sorry franz 2 shots, the troat and forehead and the video footage confirms that and your right about why

    The main thing is that people in general do not believe the Warren Commission and are aware of a cover up. The why is the important fact to grasp. The why is only my opinion and I am open to other theories. Understanding the Why is what will hopefully make the sacrifice of JFK worthwhile in the end. There are many videos on the internet which rightfully state why JFK was killed (silver backed money). The trick is not to fall into the trap of supporting a gold or silver standard. It is too late for that now. Debt free sovereign currency is the only thing which will challenge the corporation if used correctly. People could choose their currency in their pay packets. Run both in parallel and watch the usurers debt based money wither away. Sovereign governments have the ability and the duty to challenge the rise of misplaced corporate power. Unfortunately the political class is comprised of low empathy individuals whose general level of intellect comprises of the lowest common denominator in society. It would be better to replace the farmers and solicitors (ugh) with engineers and scientists. People who can think independently. Even just ordinary free thinkers who have good moral values and apply them in their lives would run rings round the shower of parrots running the show today. All the “intellectuals” in public life are capable of is parroting the utter trash that was programmed into them at university (think cretins like Freud). I love those left leaning intellectuals who quote the opinions of others from books. They are unable to think for themselves without it fitting into someone else’s conclusions. All our idiot politicians are Yes men who go with the mob mentality. They are riff raff who get carried away by the show put on for them in Brussels. The problem is that moral men and men with a real education have not been attracted by politics. Hopefully necessity will change that and we can see some real solutions. You know, for all the talk about conspiracy theories, I reckon that Climate Change junk science is actually accepted by 95% of politicians in this world. That’s what happens when the monkey is in charge of the organ grinder. Rant Over!
