Kennedy's Greatest Speech: A Tiny Ripple of Hope

[@christian_sep42]

What made the Kennedys such great leaders, is they never pretended they could solve all the issues. They always inspired the people to take control of their own lives and ask themselves what they could do. They were forging a nation, and world, of people who thought for themselves and helped others. Such losses in such tragic circumstances. May God rest their beautiful souls.

[@DavidHolloway-v1k]

@@Brent-qu3yk I believe both he and his brother were killed because they were a threat to the powers behind the scenes in America. JFK had been at war with the CIA and had fired its director, Allen Dulles, after the CIA's disaster at the Bay of Pigs. He was going to get out of Vietnam, having issued National Security Action Memo 263 in October, '63, ordering the first 1,000 of our people home from Vietnam by 12/31/63, and telling McNamara, his Sec of Defense, to prepare the Joint Chiefs of Staff for us to pull out in '65. He was engaging in secret telephone talks with Khrushchev about ending the nuclear arms race and the Cold War with the Soviet Union, which Khrushchev was enthusiastic about. Doing those things alone would have taken billions of dollars from the military-industrial complex, which wanted to expand Vietnam and continue the Cold War and the arms race. By the time he ran in '68, RFK had already pledged to get out of Vietnam. Both brothers supported the emerging civil rights movement in the country. So they had made enemies of the mil-industrial complex, the CIA, the FBI, millions of racists, and others. I think that's why they were killed. Oswald and Sirhan were just the chosen patsies.

[@NiteMoves2010]

I recall so clearly coming down stairs and my father stated "they killed Kennedy!", I responded yes 5 years ago...then he said: "Bobby!" The world changed so many times in the 60's. The real heros were murdered time and time again.

[@DavidHolloway-v1k]

[@janetprice85]

They did change it. The 1964 Civil Rights Act destroyed apartheid laws in the south despite violent Democrat objections. I saw schools, colleges and businesses suddenly opened to Black citizens formerly impossible despite all the previous laws failing to accomplish it before. Eg, Previously there were no schools or overcrowded ones with second hand books and few could afford to go. Afterwards for the first time Black kids could go to school without going far from home. To a people mostly involved in domestic or farm labor this was life changing. I tutorrd kids sttaight out of 300 hundred years of apartheid poverty. They were bright as pennies. Eager to learn. Happy to hear they had a college they could go to in their town previously closed to them. It is wicked to tell a child he or she can not learn or do math because of their skin color.

I have listened to all 3 Kennedy brothers since JFK became president, when I was 15 years old and living in my native Denmark. At the beginning of the speech I thought it was JFK speaking, only to realize a bit later it was Ted Kennedy, he sounded much like his JFK. However, after awhile I recognized the text from the eulogy Ted gave for his brother Bobby. I agree great speech, all the Kennedy brother was eloquent speakers. All call for the best in others, all had a moral compass when it came to civil rights, the poor etc. (in private life, not so much, specially JFK and Ted). They are all missed, the all made the US better, and given more time both JFK and RFK would have a great impact on this country.

A time to remember this vision

[@scottmorley3672]

Wow. I haven't heard that in decades. Now with a lump in my throat. A loss for words.

Do you love this speech as much as I do

[@robinshelton8582]

Yes I do ❤️

"Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not"? I think I found my favorite RFK quote

[@cruzmontes2595]

Bless the hearts of those that seek refuge in these words, equivalent to pilars of a man's soul. His true north when all things around him have gone south. Who find the light at the end of the tunnel in themselves. Using that fire to maybe not tackle the shortcomings of the entire world but! Doing what they can, keeping those unbeknownst to their conscious awareness of the warmth and refuge you give them. Keep that fire lit and protect it. Disburse it into the many souls on your path to ultimate unity with the planet. GOD BLESS

Spectacular. To survive into the future, humanity must survive itself. All men were created equal: An enduring dream, lives cut short by an assassin's gun. The dream remains, as the future begins each day. The Kennedy family reflected values that still resonate.

@@neecicoleman1690 I agree but from the height of power the suffering of others becomes... mangled, too confusing to solve.

[@neecicoleman1690]

@@BilalAhmad-ff3xq Yes, but it was never entirely impossible to accomplish from a position of power. Bobby literally traveled the world trying to help people, striking out against social injustices in an effective and moral way which is why I feel that we need him (or somebody like him) in today's society.

You can hear the break in his voice, just like during Reagan's greatest speech. You can feel the truth in what he said, truly moving.

What a wonderful speech from the past that has the same meaning today but we don't have the great leaders and speakers like Robert Kennedy.

[@mxdirtcarver9203]

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸This is RFK’s own words speaking to us ALL at his funeral. His brother Ted Kennedy is performing the eulogy and reading a speech RFK wrote in 1966 to South Africa. The Kennedy’s are America’s Treasured Bloodline. RFK Jr. 2024❤️

[@enzodriver]

That’s how I feel. I feel they are the old guard who was murdered and taken out precisely because they where men of The People.

Great man . God bless the united states. For giving the world this man if only for a short time ❤❤❤

[@markmeade2937]

What this man said resinates to us all today . Things have got worse and we are not moving forward, yes we may have technology but look at the cost , we have become polarised and judgemental and deeply divided. We are all human beings but at war with ourselves, the greedy have become more greedy and the rest of us are suffering because of this , the whole system is being wrecked so the few can benefit. We live on a beautiful planet which is being damaged for the few , and there is nowhere else to go. And war along with poverty continues and you realise that we have learnt nothing . We need to all look at ourselves and make a stand and make our world a better place , we have great minds and compassion, we can live so much better but until we change the current system and do what we know to be right we and heading for a cliff edge . Mankind is at a crossroads, and as the years go by this great speech still holds its power and emotion…… What could have been is gone , what we can be is still in our grasp, the question is are we going grab that chance or watch our world crumble. Only we can make that positive change for all our common good …….

@@mariekuijkenhistoricallyaw2598 It’s ok to run for President but will there be positive change and a move forward for the better , at the moment both Democrats and Republicans are so divided and god knows what they stand for , and at present over the last three years the whole world has gone completely nuts , and it’s no fun to watch . We shall see …….

Brought me to tears. This is what I want for America, to help heal those who are hurt and comfort those who are suffering. we are all equal, we need to come together now, even if it means standing against the tide.❤️ these men were angels. As he said, it was often one person who made great change in the world as we see it today even if we think just one man cannot make a difference.

[@Xxxxxxzyt]

Oh what chain of events those brothers could have unleashed on this once Godly nation of yours. For once in the name of the greater good. Instead they were murdered. And those ultimately responsible where never held accountable. Instead they placed themselves in a higher state of power and we let them get by with it. In return we will be next for listening to their content! God speed!
