f, k, john f. kennedy finally stood up and did it. he said, what should have been said earlier by truman and by others. here it is, we got it for you ever suffered more than the soviet union. in the 2nd, at least $20000000.00 lost a large, countless millions of whole families were under a 3rd of the nation's territory. including 2 thirds of its industrial face was turned into a waste plan. and loss of privilege to the destruction of this country. east of chicago, and then not coincidentally, he was assassinated after saying that, anyway, that's another show for another day. let's stick to this professor. is it, can you characterize for us? what russia soviets did to, and the nazi regime where they helpers or were they the dominant force? they were clearly the down and, and force the united states. roosevelt a promised style and that the u. s. would open the 2nd front in western europe before the end of 1942 s style and to send over molotov, and a trusted general to washington. in may of 1942. and at the meeting, he turns to general ma

he was not had somebody did not have the the, the charm and the career of, of a john f. kennedy, i think he was added that i think a lot of his talk about the leads came from that he just felt like, you know, he had that statement. neil want to have dick nixon to kick around anymore. and i think a lot of his and i lead talk came from a feeling of uh, you know, feeling insecure and, and um, you know, again, not being immediate darling darling. he never was when he was president. and he certainly was an after you know, but again, we see, you know, a for, you know, he kind of foreshadows a trump and those statements. yeah. it all, to, to be fair. he was a hard travel guy. he did not come from a rich family. he had to pay his way through college, not have a rich daddy. and he, this was really personal for him. and i think a lot of those had to do with the categories. he couldn't stand the categories even though he said he was friends with them. and they would definitely as elitist as it gets. now let's look at the media. gary is talking about the media. remember when he was president, the me

o'brien: this crash reminded me a lot of the crash that involved john f. kennedy jr in 1999.d up in a situation where he found himself in instrument conditions, unable to see the horizon, and became confused, leading to a rapid descent and a crash into the water. a young and inexperienced pilot as opposed to a seasoned veteran, but you have to be so vigilant and you have to understand your limitations. aviation is extremely unforgiving of even the slightest lapse. herrmann: it was a continuation error of bad decision after bad decision after bad decision. vanessa bryant and the other family members filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the pilot and the helicopter companies for negligence and reckless behavior. schiavo: after the crash, photos were taken at the crash site by first responders. police, fire, others. and it was alleged that some of those first responders, or at least one of those first responders, showed it to other people who had no business seeing those photos. and vanessa bryant sued because of this. schiavo: what ensued were lawsuits that lasted longer than

and harry truman started that john f kennedy institutionalized. but the other part is it is that once the president wants to launch a nuclear weapon for whatever reason, no one can overrule him. that's and that's another paradox that is very i would say that's sinister paradox right because it's it puts this authority in one person literally can bring upon the end civilization and then you have to say to yourself, how how is that just acceptable? and again, that kind of loops back to my idea that i think most people are busy with other things rather than thinking about. yes, yeah. and it's that we do because the world is is is a different animal and some of these could be really from being discussed more transparently all kinds of people. right. the launch of all our weapons all the way up requires two people to agree, even in the minuteman silo. yes. two keys have to be turned to guard against an unstable individual, except for the most important maker, the president and that's him and only him. yeah, absolutely. interesting. so did you decide to

you can, you haven't been john f kennedy, the us president that was assessed and they said that they said that other people that had the same experience, it's a truck. so that's one of the things that you will remember many is that the place that you were that you remember that space. so it says shop to a nation to have a president can in lineup duty, you know, one practice that person and that you see how it was that he was private and he visited the he has been president for about 2 years. he visited all the run in the provinces, actually 2 times at some provinces to visit that 9 times. and that he was a hands on president. he wanted to see the people need in person. we have had presidents in it on that to have sat in their office most needed in the top of the law, the prism they see what's different. and i think that's one reason that's a people are going to remember him, the because of the type of precedent that to he was uh and you know that you know, again, a government officials are going to look at the helicopter and wreckage. it could be weather related to the weather was qu

uh well, what john f kennedy and nice in our did to the c. i particular was cobra action. starting with eyes and powers decision to assassinate or remove most of the deck from power any rotten installed a shot or rod. so over the years, a cobra to action and clandestine activities became the key part of the c i a and then after $911.00, you brought in more generals from that kind of gone into the leadership positions you even brought in a general like david to try us and never should have that made a c i a director that he had to step aside. but one of the reasons why i'm so support of bill burns. and actually i wrote, i pads for i write for counter punch and i, i want to bill burns, the secretary of state action. so be almost as secretary state would you look at his diplomatic missions, but when you look at the ca directors before burns, you had people from the military like portrays, lacking jim woolsey, who was lacking gates, who was lacking. and then when you went to the hill, people like puerto costs and george kind of uh they were politicizing and tell it yes, you kn

he was not had somebody did not have the, the, the charm and the career of, of a john f. kennedy. i think he resented that. i think a lot of his talk about the leads came from that he just felt like, you know, he had that state and he'll want to have dick nixon to kick around anymore. and i think a lot of his and i lead talk came from a feeling of uh, you know, feeling insecure and, and um, you know, again, not being immediate darling darling. he never was when he was president. and he certainly was an after you know, but again, we see, you know, a 48 or he kind of foreshadows a trump in those statements. yeah. although to be fair, he was a hard travel guy. he did not come from a rich family. he had to pay his way through college, not have a rich daddy. and he, this was really personal for him. and i think a lot of this had to do with the categories. he couldn't stand the categories even though he said he was friends with them. and they would definitely as elitist as it gets. now let's look at the media. gary is talking about the media. remember when he was president, the media wa

services have planned or been a participant in like they've done in the assassination of, of john f. kennedy, which they used to patsy. and most of the research community has concluded that oswell was not responsible for the cat and kennedy assassination. there were 5 shooters, there's also see or on sir hon. who is blame for the robert kennedy assent. s nation that has been exposed is involving c. i massage, and i wouldn't be surprised and i'd be dare elect if i said, that's not a possibility that should be thoroughly examined, that this is part of a diplomatic warfare. remember, diplomatic warfare, information warfare, military warfare and economic warfare are all part of the strategic operations of the united states and nato, and in other countries. i think this whole of ocoee and prime minister was outspoken in his opposition to the nato ambitions of using ukraine as a, as a weapon against russia. and for that reason, he was seen as a threat. and they have initiated a variety of, of, uh, are scenarios where they are going to attempt to intimidate the rest of the rushes political allies i
