Can You See Now Why They Had to Regime-Change Kennedy?

Suppose President Biden were to suddenly deliver a speech in which he stated that as president he had decided to move America in a completely different direction with respect to Russia. He states the following:

Let us reexamine our attitude toward Russia. No government or social system is so evil that its people must be considered as lacking in virtue. As Americans, we find communism profoundly repugnant as a negation of personal freedom and dignity. But we can still hail the Russian people for their many achievements — in science and space, in economic and industrial growth, in culture and in acts of courage.

Among the many traits the peoples of our two countries have in common, none is stronger than our mutual abhorrence of war. Almost unique among the major world powers, we have never been at war with each other. And no nation in the history of battle ever suffered more than Russia suffered in the course of the Second World War. At least 20 million lost their lives. Countless millions of homes and farms were burned or sacked. A third of the nation’s territory, including nearly two thirds of its industrial base, was turned into a wasteland — a loss equivalent to the devastation of this country east of Chicago.

Today, should total war ever break out again — no matter how — our two countries would become the primary targets. It is an ironic but accurate fact that the two strongest powers are the two in the most danger of devastation. All we have built, all we have worked for, would be destroyed in the first 24 hours.

Let us examine our attitude toward peace itself. Too many of us think it is impossible. Too many think it unreal. But that is a dangerous, defeatist belief. It leads to the conclusion that war is inevitable–that mankind is doomed — that we are gripped by forces we cannot control.

What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war.

Today the expenditure of billions of dollars every year on weapons acquired for the purpose of making sure we never need to use them is essential to keeping the peace. But surely the acquisition of such idle stockpiles — which can only destroy and never create — is not the only, much less the most efficient, means of assuring peace.

I speak of peace, therefore, as the necessary rational end of rational men. I realize that the pursuit of peace is not as dramatic as the pursuit of war — and frequently the words of the pursuer fall on deaf ears. But we have no more urgent task.

If Biden were to make that speech today, his days would be numbered. There is no way that the Pentagon and the CIA would permit any president who openly expressed such sentiments to remain in office. 

That’s why they had to remove President Kennedy from office and elevate Vice-President Johnson to the presidency. Those words (with the term “Soviet Union” instead of “Russia”) were spoken by Kennedy himself at a speech he delivered at American University on June 10, 1963, just a few months before they regime-changed him. Keep in mind that Kennedy delivered his speech when Russian troops were still occupying East Germany and Eastern Europe and were still enforcing the Berlin Wall.

Kennedy knew precisely what he was doing with respect to the Pentagon and the CIA. He was throwing down the gauntlet to the entire national-security establishment. He had enough of its permanent Cold War, anti-Russia hostility, which had brought the United States and Russia to the brink of all-out nuclear war, just as it has now done in Ukraine. 

By June of 1963, Kennedy was in a full-blown war against the Pentagon and the CIA. He had already vowed to destroy the CIA, especially after he realized that the CIA had lied to him and manipulated him in the Bay of Pigs disaster. But by this time, his sentiments toward the Pentagon were no different. He had absolutely no confidence in the Joint Chiefs of Staff and was convinced that the military-industrial complex was leading America to destruction.

For their part, the Pentagon and the CIA both bore a deep hostility toward Kennedy. They considered him an amateur, neophyte, philandering, incompetent, cowardly, no-good president who was leading America to disaster at the hands of the communists, especially those in Russia and China. In their minds, JFK had betrayed America and showed cowardice against the communists at the Bay of Pigs. He had refused to adopt Operation Northwoods, the fraudulent false-flag operation that the JCS had unanimously endorsed to justify another invasion of Cuba. He had refused to accept the Pentagon plan for a first-strike surprise nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. He had promised the Russians that he wouldn’t permit the Pentagon and the CIA to invade Cuba again. He had secretly promised the Russians that he would remove U.S. nuclear weapons from Turkey that were pointed at Russia. 

Kennedy’s Peace Speech at American University was an ambush in his war against the Pentagon and the CIA. The speech essentially declared an end to the Pentagon’s and the CIA’s deadly and destructive Cold War racket and their permanent anti-Russia hostility. Russian officials were so impressed with the speech that they spread it all across Russia. It was the first time that that had ever been done.

Kennedy followed up the speech with a Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, over the vehement objections of the national-security establishment. He then began the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam, an action that the Pentagon and the CIA were convinced constituted a grave threat to national security. He even proposed a joint U.S.-Russia trip to the moon, which meant sharing rocket technology with the Reds.

Kennedy’s dramatically different direction for America, needless to say, would have left the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA twiddling their thumbs. If Kennedy had lived and won the war against the Pentagon and the CIA, there would have been no more Cold War. No Vietnam War. No more NATO or NATO expansion toward Ukraine. No interventionism in the Middle East. No 9/11 attacks. No war on terrorism. No invasions and wars of aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq. No state-sponsored assassinations. No torture. No indefinite detention. Indeed, there would have no more need for a vast, permanent, ever-growing military-industrial complex, CIA, NSA, and surveillance state. America’s founding system of a limited-government republic could have been restored.  

Do you see now why they needed to regime-change President Kennedy and elevate Vice-President Lyndon Johnson to the presidency?
