Eisenhower Speaks About Murder of JFK (1963)

[@intuneorange]

When I was quite young, my father made me watch Eisenhower's military-industrial complex speech. It set the tone for the rest of my life. I thank my father for opening up my eyes.

[@marcyfan-tz4wj]

i grew up listening to the tune "eisenhour blues" but i also knew the speech you mention, this one and admire him as a republican with decency, a man in general who i have respect for (unlike current politicians of both parties). sir dwight!

[@theswampfox9584]

All the nations people need to watch that video on Eisenhower’s military industrial complex speech

[@sarrhodes8277]

That speech was something I only recently read. Eisenhower saw the future and was warning of it. Something had curdled in the postwar planning I think. Eisenhower was a man with no side, ego or desire to make an impression - he was clear-sighted; on-guard for the future of the nation. The pity of it was that future generations would leave his spirit behind,; his warning ignored, left only to history.

@@sharonl.chandler8428 He was the reason why Congress and the President lost control over the military, he threatened to use the military against Area 51, He found the shadow government,and muscled them, They got smart, They rewrote the laws, then usurped the Presidency and Congress after that, Kennedy wasn't going along with it, The CIA lost the tapes and evidence then got sued for $10 million after that, They didn't lose them, They covered it up, and every President after that, was under the shadow government, Including Obama and Biden, which once all this comes out, it's going to be a mess, Trump took them out, unmasking this now his life is in danger, I wish we had Hilary instead, then Trump wouldn't be in the situation he is in. I regret a lot, Hilary would have collapsed us already and driven us into nuclear war, I made the biggest mistake of my life, These people don't deserve this, I wish I could take it back and let the country and World die on its own weight. I wish I could back in time and change history, I would have blessed the world with Obama and let him do the job with Russia once and for all, Russia would have Annihilated the United States COMPLETELY, Still not off the table, I believe he is going to make his move into Nuclear Power as soon as the US continues pushing him further they won't be able to take him out, He already has back up with those nuclear weapons, and a back up presidency incase he is ousted, The next one will be worse than Putin, We will wish we had Putin, the United States is going to be DESTROYED and by the time this happens, Americans will wish they had done something, it's too late to turn this around, There is no turning it around, there is only surrender. Ive seen their future it is very bleak and Trump knows it, The United States won't make it because they went after the wrong country, Russia was no threat ever... Do you know what we are getting after Putin? Worse one than him... He will launch against us. They want to oust Putin so they can get a new world order in, But it isn't the new world they think they are going to get, I know WHY they are doing it, so they can subjugate America to a new world order and force Russia into compliance basically collapse and murder an entire country of Russians while America secret technologies are kept hidden, Russia is catching up and pose a real threat but they aren't a threat, it is America that wants the Planet to itself with these alien TREATIES and Putin is standing in the way of that treaty agreement, They want the off world politics with America under America control only so they're going after these large countries to initiate war and then begin the slow collapse of them and hoping they die off and America now no one will ever question the to authority... They have another world hidden, with massive technologies off world off the money of the people while murdering them, and abusing them, subjecting them to hell conditions under protection of espionage act, treason, So no one not even a President can overthrow them, nor question them, Trump is currently facing this situation, He wasn't supposed to talk so much, he wouldn't shut up, So now he is in Kennedy's situation, except he mislabeled it as "election rigging" That's not what it is, that's just a cover, It is secret organizations that exist that rule the global dynamics - They make it seem like they're the saviors but they aren't - People should have access to this technology especially used against them - It's too late now - there is no way to turn this around and I know it - The best thing we can do is "wait it out" several decades for all this to play out, Then the military will be given back to the people control because they will see how much puppeting and lying happened, They won't be able to control the military with so much tragedy, They will turn over the presidents in anger, for all the lies, I predict secret service will give up their own Presidents, to the people in exchange This is going to take time though.... You have to let everything collapse, the country go into martial law, unable to keep up with the damages and wars, you wait ... Once all the death has passed, you say to them... "I told you so... Now what do you want from me?" That's when you regain the Planet back, if there is anything left salvageable I doubt it - Then you give it back to the people and say to them "hope you learned from all this" Putin is the most stable guy, in terms of Dialogue... The next one won't be so stable... But see the world is simply unable to be turned around... They let this happen, now there's nothing they can do... Trump just needs to get out of his legal issues, and then shut up and wait for the death tolls... They can't pull it off without him.. Neither can they pull it off with Kamala or anyone else, they're not smart enough, You have to be able of anticipating across time, They're stuck in time, So two choices remain: let them fail and collapse and massive deaths everywhere... Or fight and wind up in same spot? I'm not a Genius but... I think waiting it out for all to fall and fail is the Genius decision... They will turn into a FINITE EXISTENCE stuck in 30th century relooping never able to undo anything forced to mortality.

You also never mention the Bush/Gore debacle, where people are still scratching their heads to understand how, at the end of the day, Bush was potus.

If you don't know, AUG 11, there will be a national EBS test. A lot of intel suggesting Fake Joe will get on TV and try to blame those of us who know the jabs they are pushing for CV19 aren't vaxes but experimental drugs. It is illegal under the Nuremberg Code to administer experimental jabs to humans. He's going to state something to the effect that the delta variant is spreading in the US because of the unjabbed, which is utter BS! It's spreading because of all the sheeple who gladly took the experimental drugs loaded with spike proteins and toxic Graphene Oxide that spread to those of us who understand we have a GOD GIVEN IMMUNE SYSTEM that has to be activated to become strong. Unless you are very old or have a serious medical condition that has weakened your immune system, you have a 99.99% chance of surviving CV19, which is a COLD/FLU. So if you're not prepped and especially live in a BLUE STATE, you night want to get some extra supplies just in case this CCP TARD, aka CCP Joe, decides to call for Martial Law. BTW, a lot of info coming that rogue military are in DC and recruiting many medical personnel; teaching them how to give many jabs to people in a very chaotic environment. There is a good chance starting in BLUE STATES with CCP bought off GOVERNORS, venues will be set up by these rogue military personnel loyal to the CCP, along with med. staff to administer mandated jabs.

When a President of the United States leaves office, he gets to keep the honorific -- he's still referred to as "Mr. President." But Eisenhower was always referred to as "General." The reason why is that Eisenhower retired from the Army and resigned his commission to run for president. But after leaving presidency on January 20, 1961, Eisenhower insisted that he be restored to active duty. So, on March 30, 1961, pursuant to an act of Congress, Eisenhower was restored to his rank as General of the Army. What a great American!

When the Bonus Army of US WWI vets arrived from all over the country to set up a tent city to beg the govt for their promised+deferred bonusses at the depth of the depression, Ike was one of the 3 brass there who led the military attack on said vets' encampment ... which given his apptmt to run the show in wwii as prelude to being prez turned out to be a great career move in terms of establishing how thorough a shit he was willing to be on behalf of the "military industrial complex". he was a great talent as a smiley-face icon of respectability under which all the ugliness of USgovt fascism in the 50s was accelerated. he was perfect for the job.

I guarantee you President Eisenhower had tremendous respect for President Kennedy. Kennedy commanded a PT boat in WWII which was a very dangerous assignment. His boat was blown out from under Kennedy and crew. Kennedy, through his tremendous leadership skills, saved his crew, got them to safety, and got them rescued. We lost a great man and a great leader that day.

[@cpklapper]

Note how carefully Ike chose his words. His proclivity for turning every expression into a nounal phrase served him well here. Not once did he say that a person was "despicable" or "psychopathic", just the act. You could read into his remarks both the Warren Commission Report claiming that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin and the suspicions that LBJ and the CIA were the culprits. If those suspicions are true, those actions of conspiring to murder their President, to destroy physical evidence, to interrogate Oswald in secret and without notes, to kill and discredit Oswald, to kill or discredit witnesses and to stonewall any independent investigation of LBJ, were certainly "despicable" and "psychopathic". Note also that Ike repeated his statement that the American people "will not be stampeded". That Ike was right is shown by the fact that a majority of the American people have consistently rejected the attempts of the Warren Commission to stampede them into believing their "lone gunman" theory.
