Nine-one-one truth

DELUGE CONTINUED

To be continued back to Ocean City, Maryland, summer of '74 when I'd rented a condo for the season in search of the Real American Dream. With friends visiting and enjoying the good life, it was less Margaritaville than Frozen Pina Colada Land! We were waiting for the denouement, being the resignation of the President who George "W" Bush makes look like a Boy Scout. Richard Milhouse Nixon did not disappoint and things changed (right Buzz!) on August 9, 1974. It was my most delirious summer and then some, back where it all began! I had worked hard, gone to college at night as a Veteran and earned a real time of peace of mind with no worries. Now, it seems so distant but back in the day, everything was on track to go right or so this budding scholar/party animal so I thought. Talk about rude awakenings, but I did have several more good years and I put them to a use I can be proud of and still reference the effort in current terms. We should learn from every day's experience to draw on how we may respond to tomorrow's. Who knew by 2008, we would have trained monitors responsible for viewing every living American’s communication and corrupting them if their content red flagged attention and that key words would trigger the eye to prevent popular information from becoming responsible “common” information. The likes of which if disseminated accurately, would foment an unprecedented animosity with a proper and correct response, in defense of our right to privacy, never witnessed by those who in secret, as JFK warned in his April, 27th 1961 speech to the Association of American Journalists? I wrote a brief article surrounding this ominously prophetic speech in REASON AND FREE INQUIRY. Forty-five years ago, as a ninth grade student, our principal spoke over the P. A. system and announced the shooting in Dallas and results. Living in College Park, I grew up with kids whose parents were either educators or employed by our government just twenty minutes down U.S. Route 1, at the time allegedly the world’s most traveled highway. Some of the parents worked in the intelligence community or State Department and would brag (read exaggerate) on what they knew about inside dope. Several would directly express the sentiments of their parents in their conservative disdain for President Kennedy. When the final bell rang an hour after the news, there’s always a rush in the flow of students to get their weekend needs and catch the bus, etc….One boy I knew from my neighborhood will always remember my response to his running down the steps hooting about, “…they got him…”. I tagged the son of a bitch with an upper cut that he probably feels to this day. I never heard anymore about it, maybe because our Principal was Catholic and JFK was his hero. It took a long time for this national tragedy to sink in and my grandmother had told me that “things weren’t right”. But I could feel it myself and then I found Harold Weisberg’s self printed book, WHITEWASH, on consignment at the off campus book store. This was to be the first of a series of books which were incredibly footnoted from the twenty-six volumes supporting the THE WARREN COMMISSION REPORT, with its evidence, testimony and exhibits and explicitly contradicted all conclusions to include the final verdict of the possibility of one person being physically able to achieve this act. For an average student, who would have no home save for his grandmother, he began working after school to have the material items his contemporaries possessed. Studying? Grades? What’s that? I barely got by, but I was an avid reader and by ninth grade had exhausted the City and County Library collection of Astrophysics/Astronomy and Science Fiction books, so I was somewhat prepared, mind you no one can realistically

be prepared for the wealth of knowledge and writing style of Mr. Weisberg. You want to learn? Pay close attention. But in 1974, an attempt to have Congress openly review the Warren Commission findings was the farthest thing from this hard working, harder partying kid. I deserved a Dr. Hunter Thompson described trip through the heart of the “American Dream” and I was getting it. Sleep in, stumble down to the beach with a cold one to play a pick up football game and check out what few babes lived way up in the nearly deserted North end of Ocean City. The 1973 Oil Embargo had caused a recession and all construction was on hold, so save for the few inhabitants in this desolated area, we were fortunately isolated. Good thing too, because there was no one to complain about the hellacious parties we through. I had a private dock on the inlet and I had my own personal social director, Captain Del who knew everybody from the grocery store he worked to the life guards and Phillips Crab House girls and where the “A” list parties were each night, if not at #13 California Avenue, Ocean City’s annex for my I Eta Thi Fraternity. There are so many daily stories of stuff we pulled, it’s worth a laugh book. Even the law students who worked as supplemental Law Enforcement Officers each summer, loved the atmosphere. I believe I went through at least a hundred friends and their entourages, as guests during the Memorial Day to Labor Day joy ride. Always room for one more and too much is never enough! I remember most of it, I think!?
I will always have that time which earned me a short termed nickname, “Last Legs Lamore”. That fall I earned the entrance letter to finish my education at my life long dream at the University of Maryland. Opening that letter could not give me more pride and pleasure and know my long gone Mother would be proud of my accomplishment. I had come so far from being a know it all, to one who needed to learn. From working as an 18 year old on the old Post Office dock, envying at 8:00 A.M., the sorority girls walking up to class on campus in1967, I was now scheduled to be a Junior in January of 1975, at my beloved college and could not have imagined what I was about to engage in. Pardon my indulgement, but I am relating my experience as the regular guy with the dream, not to be confused with a real winner like Barack Obama, who had real influence and encouragement. I’ve always been rudderless to the degree, that is until I found myself making waves my first semester.
I witnessed an interview today of an intern at Parkland Memorial Hospital who was the third Doctor to enter Trauma Room One and , “…see his hero with a lethal wound but still agonal. I treated a suction wound in his neck with a breathing technique (tracheostomy) and recognized a massive frontal head wound with part of his skull missing”. He also said he could eliminate a conspiracy and that day he lost, “…his hero and hero to his contemporaries…”. It has been difficult to accept my country has allowed this lie to prevail for all of these years and yield the opportunity to have the Bush, Cheney, Rove crowd to perpetrate the 911 incident to gain a political agenda of Atlas proportions in order to control the last years before the consequences of December 12, 2012 arrive. I have written in depth as a neophyte about what probably lies awaiting our world as we know it and those who have knowledge way beyond my comprehension. How does one fight a battle to seek coalition to try and minimize what danger lies in store for us as predicted by so many, unbeknownst to so few. Knowledge can be a blessing or a curse and carries a responsibility to act upon it. How ignorant and blissfully indulgent was I in the summer of 1974. How much and how far I’ve come in connecting dots I
-3-
never believed could have existed. I put off reading responsible criticism of 9-1-1 as long as I could because I did not want the burden of knowing details of the falsity of events. I was finally brought to begin responsible review of what is obviously another mammoth lie and treasonous act of murder and insurrection. Since nine-one-one, the Bush government has virtually destroyed our Constitution and Civil Rights. It has allowed the slow and deliberate dismantling of our economic infrastructure and fiduciary system. A direct response to who might still retain what commodible goods for trade and survival. We are now in a depression worse than the 1929 fiasco with huge banks and corporations to include all three Detroit Auto makers asking Congress for loans to bailout and salvage their existence. In short, the country in its entirety is being undermined in the most subversive of fashions by those who believe they were meant to live after the Deluge. Look for the simplest solution and it’s easy to see without looking too far…not much is really sacred! Why else would grand Ma’s Da Vinci is sold for chump change, or the price of oil was gouged for as long as the market would stand it, or all of our jobs being outsourced to peeeplewhootaawklikegrittingsmumshoze??? We have a fire sale going on and I’m a million miles from that poor senseless hard working College Park Kid who got himself an all expenses real vacation to Ocean City Maryland and two year later a week in Jamaica with the biggest mistake in his life, EVE! I can still sense the bitter sweet taste and hear the Siren song of, “…here, take a bite. You’ll love it!”. The big lie is a killer when you find your truth hanging in front of you like the dark side saying, “Hey it was good, No?”. NO it wasn’t. “You felt like your guts were gone and you’re life had been looted clean of all of all that it once held dear.”. DANGEROUS DAN MCGREW (Robert W. Service) And now, after plodding along trying to get your life back, you realize you are one of the few people on the planet aware of …..Pop quiz! What do you do?
Still dots to connect, but 2009 will yield us more than comprehension and how we respond will decide what, if any future we shall have for our berth on this beautiful planet. It is time for attention to factual detail, ego’s and myth set aside, to collaborate an equation to overcome the Group X version of control.
Yes Virginia, there is a God. Your little (and big) friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except what they see and even then most will not accept what is obvious. They think that nothing can be which is no comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, are little or used only to the capacity society allows. In this great universe (not just) of ours, man is a mere insect, in her intellect as compared with just the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge through experience. Yes Virginia, there is a GOD. Its essence exists as certainly as the morning bird song, the purple mountains’ majesty, our fruited plain, the shining blue ocean, love, generosity, devotion, those who have give their last full measure, that we shall be free and those who stand in the way of tyranny which allows the kindness which abounds from the hardest of hearts and give to your life its highest beauty and joy in the shortest of an eye blink which will remain seen for generations to come, GOD willing. Alas, how dreary would the world be without the awful grace and forgiveness of Him. It would be as dreary if there were no Virginia (or children to be amazed by). There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry no song, no romance to make tolerable this miserable existence. We would have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight of the material world.
-4-
The external light with which childhood fills this world would be extinguished ad infinitem.Not believe in GOD? You might as well not believe in Santa Claus! Why leave any cookies and milk out for the ole geiser and try and stay up near the chimney to sneak a peek? Even if you did not see Santa or God, what would that prove? The gifts (for the privileged) and all the other existential aforementioned would still be. The most real things in our dear little corner of this great Universe are those that neither children nor grown can see. We may not have seen Santa or God, but that’s no proof they aren’t there. We’ve seen their work yet nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are sight unseen and unseeable in our life. You tear apart the baby’s rattle and try to see what makes the noise inside. It is no longer. There is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man (woman) or even all of our United strength that ever lived could change. Only by faith and the poetry, romance, loyalty and love it creates, can push aside that curtain and view the supernal beauty, glory and grace beyond. Is it all real? Ah Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else more real and binding than our Creator. No God? How quaint and wrong can one be than to not comprehend this? I pray for these people devoid of hope of the now and our tentative posterity. Yes Virginia, there is a real and true GOD who abides in the light we bask in every moment of the life its essence bequeathed us. As Dennis the Menace said in his evening prayer, one cartoon, “Please take care of yourself, I don’t know what we’d do without you!’ I still enjoy the rendering of a conversation I had with my father driving his ole Singer Sewing Machine Company panel truck with Mom sitting next to him during my 5-6 Beaver Cleaver treasured years (Mom passed with cancer in my 9th year) and me riding shotgun back to Warner Robbins to our home from Macon where he worked. It was near Christmas and I must’ve been seven. I hit them with the inevitable question, “Is there really a Santa Claus?”. They paused, swapped stares and decided since I got a globe on my birthday (June 25th, 6 even months betwixt the event, I had a better perspective on the strategic probability. No they said. It’s time to fess up. I paused and then asked, “ How about the Easter Bunny?”. No, it’s made up. “Well, how about the Tooth Fairy?” No, it’s the adult ploy to get your baby teeth out. After a moment of heavy reflection, I inquired, “Hoe about Jesus?”. I swear I heard a pin drop. They turned white and about gagged. What in the world has come over this chile? My Mother, bless her heart, comforted me with a hug and encouragingly said, “ Darling, He is the one thing you can always really believe in.”. Nuff said.
Now for the clincher. A L I E N S ? No, I didn’t know about them to ask. But in 1974, my friend John, who spoke excellent Spanish and would visit an acquaintance in the hills of Columbia for some exportable snow related to me his sighting of an unidentifiable craft which flew like nothing he could imagine. It whooshed and turned so fast he could not possibly determine its shape nor size. That’s when I realized there is indeed something more to UFO’s than nuts and kooks. In 1996, I read a book by Lt.Col. Philip Corso named ROSWELL, THE DAY AFTER. Corso was an under the radar liaison to the ranking member, Senator Strom Thurmond, of the Senate Committee on Defense and held office in a small Pentagon space with several file cabinets containing extremely sensitive information and material relating to the Roswell event in July 1947. He had always been in the Intelligence loop and was a trusted friend of Korean hero General Arthur Trudeua who assigned him the task of identifying which Public Contactor was working on concepts he felt might benefit from ultra secret reverse engineering of a
-5-
specific item in his care and designating them to tinker. He had the trust of Thurmond and a handful of other Congressional members for black funding, no questions asked. The military benefited immensely from his keen ability to associate and after 10 to 15 years of use and/or improvement, which evolved into popular knowledge of a non-specific commodity, the contractor was freed to morph the technology into an item for public marketing. As in, “Who knew?”. This is where patent pending allowed the massive reward of monetary benefit from their patriotic discretionary work Senator Thurmond gave the book credibility by writing a glowing for word about Corso being a leading patriot. The day after the book was published, SenatorThurmond was encouraged to retract his written complements which only served to give the book extreme credibility. Lt. Colonels and Lt. Commanders do the under the table little noticed leg work for their respective branches. So there it was in a nutshell and I am left speechless. In a religious vein, The Vatican’s chief astronomer, The Reverend Jose Gabriel Funes was quoted in May 2008 as saying, “… the vastness of the universe means it is possible there could be other forms of life outside earth. How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere?”. The Reverend further stated science, especially astronomy, does not contradict religion and why should we not talk about an extraterrestrial brother? If the Papacy allows (read condones) this statement, be ready to meet MY FAVORITE MARTIAN ! Obviously, this divergence of opinion has come to accept what I am ready to spell out for you as I touched on in AMERICA’S CLARION CALL. We have to resolve a very age old disparate geographical oral and written history with alien interaction and the same for 5,000 plus year old calendars which all predict future events borne out of various unconnected civilizations and cultures to be the same exact day as end of earthly time, December 21, 2012.
At U.of Md. In 1976, the Anthropology Department offered a course on ecological limitations, (I’ve forgotten the catchy name but a girl I knew insisted I take it) which was so well received, the U. had to expand the space to an auditorium. We had already had Earth Day One on May 1st, 1971, which the D.C. Government spent thousands of bucks to clean up after the hundred thousand or so participants. Word got out and if I’m not mistaken, the 1972 event went by clean. Collective unconscious or conscience? You tell me, I just write this sh….! The course was my awakening to limited resources and population capacity for our little blue rock and that nature doesn’t leave any trash! What a rude awakening to the concept of Horace Greeely’s newspaper about Manifest Destiny and his excoriation of “Go West young man, go west!”. Convert them savages or kill’em, whichever, it’s our land to be had, they’re just visitors (THE GOOD SHEPHARD in reverse) I grew up watching John Wayne and Erroll Flynn sing GARY OWEN and march of as Custer to win one for the Gipper. Get them redskins or they’ll be voting, just like the “Nigras”. Well, bury my heart at Wounded Knee also. The big LIE is alive and well in Hollywood. What’s wrong with all this mythology they taught us in school? Try transparency and it doesn’t resonate well for modern SARAH PALIN colloquialisms.
I am so looking forward to working with all my fellow governors on change and being progressive to keep things our American way, particularly those states where there are really true Americans who are sooo devoted to being sooo patriotic and wanting change like ROE v. WADE and other Congressional cases as opposed to those in the state of Africa where there is too many kids to feed. It’s sooo important to care about what is
-6-
important for global peace in vetting terrorism to an end and securing our national security by closing our borders and opening the gates for those who desire the American Dream and help us obtain these ideas, which by the way, we are working on, as I speak!. As for 2012, I would obey a shout out from God if He told me to run for President or run for cover on December 21…ooops, I’m not suppose to mention that Mayan Calendar thing or the Aliens we deal with. Can you scratch that please and don’t tell Jack Cafferty I goofed on y’all.! Unfortunately, the Bush Doctrine and the McCain defeat have a common thread running through the very fabric. McCain was given Palin to guarantee losing. If he had chosen someone like Louisiana’s Governor, Piyush “Bobby” Jindal, a young intelligent new comer whose presence on the ticket would have created a crap shoot. Those in the know don’t really want a Republican to be Chief Executive when 12/21/12 rolls around so Barack will be the bad guy if the philosophical approach to it does not change. He will be responsible for not having a plan to limit damage, havoc and institute Marshall Law to maintain a semblance of order for as long as possible. Bush’s OZ created nine-one-one to gain staunch Constitutional legal control for any and all contingencies. Without delineating the massive amount of deliberate abuse of power and criminal activity and having the “Vice” President as a virtual dictator, suffice it to say the rationale was to garner all things deemed necessary to possess, for those who believed they were meant to survive the DELUGE. Just look at it as the simplest solution to the bizarre, unchecked and unprecedented actions of our Federal Government. For those of you who have not read the documentation I lean this reality on you, don’t worry, you’ll be hearing enough of -the December 21st, 2012 scenario(s) and the Mayan Calendar and the Sumerian written experience with extraterrestrials and the huge effect on homo erectus to date soon enough!!!.I started writing this chronicle with Jackson Browne singing, “Whoa people, look around you, the signs are every where. You’ve left it for some body other than you to be the ones to care(!)”. We are all in this together. Today is the 31st of December, my dear Mother’s birthday. If I had only had her presence for a few more year I can only speculate how much more I would have accomplished from her divine Christian charitable guidance. I have so many coincidences to relate post mortem, relating to her. I thank God for the short time I did share with her. Perhaps in the overall confluence of reality and destiny(as opposed to fate) I still can make some poignant noise for good and ever. I have shown some similarity in this unconventional campaign and that of the distraught tangled web of 1968 to provoke connected sorrow and challenge. The aught years are so predicated upon the ‘60’s to an implausible yet exact result. The dots people, the dots. Same players or their protégé’s, weaving the tangled travesty of confusing and abusing the American people for their own deviously deadly ends continue. The audacity of hope is of a black man with the courage of Teddy Roosevelt, the comfort of FDR and the charismatic vision of JFK. He appears to be the real thing and stands a chance of walking that thin line to save us from Group X and our own delusions. Irony is the fuel of time which burns our existence. Pray he sees around the learning curve and is able to influence those who can, to do the right thing…or at the very least, give peace and humanity a chance to prove we also can. Barack Obama just may be the holistic catalyst to bridge all the broken bridge of our milineums of manipulation into participation. Pray the broken bridges of our millineums our repaired and we pass the 2012 test. Peace to all. FWL

JFK'S SECRET SOCIETY SPEECH
REASON AND FREE INQUIRYI have had my whole truth blog erased. I will try and re-publish. Obviously, there are those who don't want the truth told!I have researched and written four articles to date about political expediency and the agenda of those dedicated wrong shaping our National History. I try and document all I discuss and how to follow the topic up. Research is like fishing in that if you are patient, one catch leads to another with linkage. Buried deep away is what I believe to be the most important speech made in the free world as truth speaking to power. In a true democracy, truth to power would be the citizenry speaking to the Government. However after the Bay of Pigs debacle, of which President Kennedy publicly took full responsibility of the invasion's failure, he grew aware that the plot had been hatched by the Nixon (with or without Ike's knowledge) and would require major U.S. involvement. This aspect was only sprung upon him as the operation was in motion with the organizers believing JFK would have no choice but to supply all military and diplomatic help required for a successful coup. By all accounts written in post mortem books by his inner staff, there is concurrence of this surprise. Unable to defend himself post mortem, JFK has been slammed with much disinformation creating a confliction of real truth and deed. As for his learning curve which for the life of me, why did he not recognize this very secretive and powerful group would certainly do what ever was necessary to preserve and protect their collective interests to include Executive Action (the spook term for assassination of a head of state). Obviously, in his direct appeal to our nation's jouranlists and publications, JFK was referencing Operation Mockingbird and its omnipotent control of the flow of truth. Why he could not or would refuse to see a Dealy Plaza (which had the century previous been a territory for shootouts like Deadwood) in his path will remain a paradoxical mystery in light of this incredibly courageous speech so early in his Presidency. I have included it in its entirety within this article for what part, as one reads it, could possibly be edited?The President and the Press: Address before the American Newspaper Publishers AssociationPresident John F. KennedyWaldorf-Astoria HotelNew York City, April 27, 1961Listen to this speechMr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen:I appreciate very much your generous invitation to be here tonight.You bear heavy responsibilities these days and an article I read some time ago reminded me of how particularly heavily the burdens of present day events bear upon your profession.You may remember that in 1851 the New York Herald Tribune under the sponsorship and publishing of Horace Greeley, employed as its London correspondent an obscure journalist by the name of Karl Marx.We are told that foreign correspondent Marx, stone broke, and with a family ill and undernourished, constantly appealed to Greeley and managing editor Charles Dana for an increase in his munificent salary of $5 per installment, a salary which he and Engels ungratefully labeled as the "lousiest petty bourgeois cheating."But when all his financial appeals were refused, Marx looked around for other means of livelihood and fame, eventually terminating his relationship with the Tribune and devoting his talents full time to the cause that would bequeath the world the seeds of Leninism, Stalinism, revolution and the cold war.If only this capitalistic New York newspaper had treated him more kindly; if only Marx had remained a foreign correspondent, history might have been different. And I hope all publishers will bear this lesson in mind the next time they receive a poverty-stricken appeal for a small increase in the expense account from an obscure newspaper man.I have selected as the title of my remarks tonight "The President and the Press." Some may suggest that this would be more naturally worded "The President Versus the Press." But those are not my sentiments tonight.It is true, however, that when a well-known diplomat from another country demanded recently that our State Department repudiate certain newspaper attacks on his colleague it was unnecessary for us to reply that this Administration was not responsible for the press, for the press had already made it clear that it was not responsible for this Administration.Nevertheless, my purpose here tonight is not to deliver the usual assault on the so-called one party press. On the contrary, in recent months I have rarely heard any complaints about political bias in the press except from a few Republicans. Nor is it my purpose tonight to discuss or defend the televising of Presidential press conferences. I think it is highly beneficial to have some 20,000,000 Americans regularly sit in on these conferences to observe, if I may say so, the incisive, the intelligent and the courteous qualities displayed by your Washington correspondents.Nor, finally, are these remarks intended to examine the proper degree of privacy which the press should allow to any President and his family.If in the last few months your White House reporters and photographers have been attending church services with regularity, that has surely done them no harm.On the other hand, I realize that your staff and wire service photographers may be complaining that they do not enjoy the same green privileges at the local golf courses that they once did.It is true that my predecessor did not object as I do to pictures of one's golfing skill in action. But neither on the other hand did he ever bean a Secret Service man.My topic tonight is a more sober one of concern to publishers as well as editors.I want to talk about our common responsibilities in the face of a common danger. The events of recent weeks may have helped to illuminate that challenge for some; but the dimensions of its threat have loomed large on the horizon for many years. Whatever our hopes may be for the future--for reducing this threat or living with it--there is no escaping either the gravity or the totality of its challenge to our survival and to our security--a challenge that confronts us in unaccustomed ways in every sphere of human activity.This deadly challenge imposes upon our society two requirements of direct concern both to the press and to the President--two requirements that may seem almost contradictory in tone, but which must be reconciled and fulfilled if we are to meet this national peril. I refer, first, to the need for a far greater public information; and, second, to the need for far greater official secrecy.IThe 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.Nevertheless, every democracy recognizes the necessary restraints of national security--and the question remains whether those restraints need to be more strictly observed if we are to oppose this kind of attack as well as outright invasion.For the facts of the matter are that this nation's foes have openly boasted of acquiring through our newspapers information they would otherwise hire agents to acquire through theft, bribery or espionage; that details of this nation's covert preparations to counter the enemy's covert operations have been available to every newspaper reader, friend and foe alike; that the size, the strength, the location and the nature of our forces and weapons, and our plans and strategy for their use, have all been pinpointed in the press and other news media to a degree sufficient to satisfy any foreign power; and that, in at least in one case, the publication of details concerning a secret mechanism whereby satellites were followed required its alteration at the expense of considerable time and money.The newspapers which printed these stories were loyal, patriotic, responsible and well-meaning. Had we been engaged in open warfare, they undoubtedly would not have published such items. But in the absence of open warfare, they recognized only the tests of journalism and not the tests of national security. And my question tonight is whether additional tests should not now be adopted.The question is for you alone to answer. No public official should answer it for you. No governmental plan should impose its restraints against your will. But I would be failing in my duty to the nation, in considering all of the responsibilities that we now bear and all of the means at hand to meet those responsibilities, if I did not commend this problem to your attention, and urge its thoughtful consideration.On many earlier occasions, I have said--and your newspapers have constantly said--that these are times that appeal to every citizen's sense of sacrifice and self-discipline. They call out to every citizen to weigh his rights and comforts against his obligations to the common good. I cannot now believe that those citizens who serve in the newspaper business consider themselves exempt from that appeal.I have no intention of establishing a new Office of War Information to govern the flow of news. I am not suggesting any new forms of censorship or any new types of security classifications. I have no easy answer to the dilemma that I have posed, and would not seek to impose it if I had one. But I am asking the members of the newspaper profession and the industry in this country to reexamine their own responsibilities, to consider the degree and the nature of the present danger, and to heed the duty of self-restraint which that danger imposes upon us all.Every newspaper now asks itself, with respect to every story: "Is it news?" All I suggest is that you add the question: "Is it in the interest of the national security?" And I hope that every group in America--unions and businessmen and public officials at every level-- will ask the same question of their endeavors, and subject their actions to the same exacting tests.And should the press of America consider and recommend the voluntary assumption of specific new steps or machinery, I can assure you that we will cooperate whole-heartedly with those recommendations.Perhaps there will be no recommendations. Perhaps there is no answer to the dilemma faced by a free and open society in a cold and secret war. In times of peace, any discussion of this subject, and any action that results, are both painful and without precedent. But this is a time of peace and peril which knows no precedent in history.IIIt is the unprecedented nature of this challenge that also gives rise to your second obligation--an obligation which I share. And that is our obligation to inform and alert the American people--to make certain that they possess all the facts that they need, and understand them as well--the perils, the prospects, the purposes of our program and the choices that we face.No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding; and from that understanding comes support or opposition. And both are necessary. I am not asking your newspapers to support the Administration, but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed.I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers--I welcome it. This Administration intends to be candid about its errors; for as a wise man once said: "An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it." We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors; and we expect you to point them out when we miss them.Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed--and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment-- the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution- -not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply "give the public what it wants"--but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.This means greater coverage and analysis of international news--for it is no longer far away and foreign but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improved understanding of the news as well as improved transmission. And it means, finally, that government at all levels, must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security--and we intend to do it.IIIIt was early in the Seventeenth Century that Francis Bacon remarked on three recent inventions already transforming the world: the compass, gunpowder and the printing press. Now the links between the nations first forged by the compass have made us all citizens of the world, the hopes and threats of one becoming the hopes and threats of us all. In that one world's efforts to live together, the evolution of gunpowder to its ultimate limit has warned mankind of the terrible consequences of failure.And so it is to the printing press--to the recorder of man's deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news--that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: free and independent. When I first heard the oral excerpt, I immediately sought the body as whole. You have to agree, friend or foe, he had to be brave and crazy at the same time to address the media with the root of a centuries old problem. Thomas Jefferson said, "Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agen ts against error". And, "I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility toward all forms of tyranny over the minds of men (and women)". I believe JFK was aware of much of the secret society's agenda and their contact with the alien presence and I believe he sought to make it public over a period of time. This may not have been such a good idea then as I have no way to judge such daring, but certainly he could have been reasoned with and included in the process, rather than terminated. I gather this just from reading the inferences raised in his words. If this holds water, then he certainly was acutely aware of the Mayan Calendar and the 12/21/12 predictions and deliberative preparations. There is only so much the public as a whole can digest over night and remain stable. But now we are all dealing in the realm of speculation, save those in the know! I believe in the inherent resolute human spirit particularly embodied in the American. I still believe there are better answers than the veil of secrecy which is slowly eroding until correction is a not an option. I have written on this. Who will listen and believe in our humanity as capable and responsible with the right leadership and correct information??? My God, how many times has mankind faced this same traumatic dilemma as translated and described by the ancient Sumerians who had lived side by side with another race? Or the Maya (Olmecs) or India or, or, .... the dots are all there to connect. Our most accurate interpretation of ancient history is the Bible. read about our mating with "the" GODS. The hour grows late and the deluge nearer. Read people, read. The information is available. Don't take my word. Just seek your own paint by numbers scheme. Meanwhile, play Jackson Browne's AFTER THE DELUGE from his second album. In the mean time, try prayer and love. You will need these attributes in the coming days. More to come. Peace Out. FWL
