Per the 60's assassinations: Can America handle the truth?

[villager]

Let's say "the Octopus" totally unravels in the next few years, and what many of us have known for years becomes obvious -- with more supporting evidence suddenly appearing: that the 60's assassinations, the rise of Nixon & Reagan (and the Bushes), the Diebold "mistakes," etc., are not unrelated at all, but part of a single, unified assault on American democracy.

Can Americans really handle the truth? Or will DUers and other such folk always be like the outnumbered "sane" children in a deranged alcoholic family?

3. We need to defund the corporate military leach. JFK, MLK, RFK, Paul

Wellstone--all, in my opinion, assassinated by war profiteers, who need a major war every 20 years or so to feed the beast. JFK opposed the invasion of Cuba, defused the Cuban missile crisis without resorting to nukes, inspired the military machine with civilian goals (putting a man on the moon), made one of the greatest speeches on world disarmament and peace at the UN, and, just before he was killed, signed executive orders withdrawing US military "advisers" from Vietnam.

One of LBJ's first acts in office was to rescind those orders, and less than a year later, used the phony "Gulf of Tonkin" incident to escalate the Vietnam War. As the pile of slaughtered bodies grew into mountains of bodies--tens of the thousands of them--RFK, a previous "Cold War" hawk, turned against the war, and began a campaign for President to end it. On the night he won the California primary, he was shot dead--a second peace-minded leader cut down. Just three months before (in 3/68), the third peacemaker, MLK, was also cut down by a bullet, not long after the decided to go public with his opposition to the war, in one of the finest speeches ever delivered (at the Riverside Church in NY).

The entire peaceful leadership of the country decapitated in the space of five years.

And the expenditure in bullets, rifles, helicopters, war planes, military vehicles, chemical defoliants ("Agent Orange"), uniforms, helmets, tents, military housing, medical supplies, food, boots and body bags, to slaughter upwards of 2 million people in Southeast Asia before it was over, is the reason WHY. MONEY. The pigsty of military contractors that our nation's capital has become.

And in 2002, Paul Wellstone, who had pledged to lead the fight in the Senate against the invasion of Iraq, and who, like RFK, was a charismatic antiwar leader headed to the White House, was also cut down--by a mysterious plane crash in a top of the line small aircraft, with top of the line deicers on its wings, and with two experienced pilots on board, on a cold but clear day on which no one else had any difficulty landing, yet Wellstone's plane veered off over the landing strip and went off into the trees and crashed. The FBI confiscated evidence, and there was never a public hearing on it.

And now we have Vietnam II.

The lesson: Defund the corporate military leach. No more wars of choice!

6. defund, yes, but over how many more dead bodies?

clearly, the dark side in this country plays for keeps.

Not that we don't have to do it -- we do. But clearly, as we already know... it will be rough going to get to that particular -- viz. MLK -- "mountaintop."

14. Absolutely. However consider that its the largest economical export of ours

Also consider how the capitalistic/monetary system is essentially draining the planet of all its natural resources and placing them in the hands of a select few. When natural resources are owned, a kind of enslavement to those who have the resources ensues.

Its been happening for decades to other countries. Surprise. Now its beginning to happen here.

Socialism and bartering and eliminating a monetary system never looked so good.

If there are other alternatives I'm all ears.

However the monetary system has put a price tag on everything. That's not good because then everything becomes purchasable, or moreover expendable.

With everything being exploited and/or played with a value on its head, eventually loses its sacredness, its soul. We then exist as essentially a robotic population when the soul is lost. And look around.

The souls are being gobbled up by the lack of nature and the increase of pavement, parking lots and shopping malls.

7. Yes.

Will not come as any great surprise to a lot of people.

8. hmmm... and then what happens once they allow themselves to "know?"

n/t

10. People need to know that there are real alternatives.

They also need to understand what role their own lives play in maintaining the criminal system that assassinates great men of vision -- and stages false flag psychological operations to drive domestic and foreign policy. We have laws against murder, treason, that sort of thing, now, the problem is bringing enough pressure against the system to make it do what it was designed to do: limit tyranny.

Beyond that, we need men and women of vision who are "bullet proof".

15. That's the lynchpin: That everyone has blood on their hands

by allowing the "festering" to continue.

Are infantalized Americans up to the task?

[LSK]

9. they cant handle 9/11 questions

Now that I have said that, this can go to the dungeon.

11. I've *never* understood this "you can't handle the truth" phrase

How on earth could it be worse than being expected to handle lies?

[Imagevision]

12. Can America handle the truth? - 47% of it can't...! (at least)

[shance]

13. "A unified assault on Democracy"

Great way to put it.
