  1. Funny how Kennedy mentioned in this speech how absurd it was that Soviet leaders actually believed that American imperialists intended war on the Soviet people and intended to "enslave economically the Europeans and others". It's all happening now.

  4. This speech by President Kennedy sealed his Death Warrant. He was then executed by the CIA under orders of LBJ to keep the US weapon manufacturers and Defense Establishment happy.

  5. People in the US and in Western Europe need to listen to what he says from 11;48 o 12:15 again and again untill they finally start to grasp what this meant back then and to some degree on to this day. The message is cristal clear, a nation that sufferd as heavily from war as the Sovjet Union did over the course of the "great Patriotic War" will at least for the forseeable future and very likely generations beyond that must have peace as the main objective of its foreign policy above all other things. It is therefore an utterly ridiculous suggestion that Russia and its people shouldbe found willing, not to mention being militarily capable to throw themselves onto the waiting bayonets of the combined armies of Western Europe and the US. But precisely this idea was hammered into our heads bya relentless propaganda machinery and we fell for it hook line and sinker. And from there things have now even turned much worse. It is time to wake up and to throw off that evil spell made up from lies and lies on top of lies, interspersed by some similarly vile and depraved distractions to confuse and divide us to the point of utter insanity. The ultimate truth is, that if we stopped right nowto support this war, no harm whatsoever is meant to come at us by the hands of Russia. And if we are truly looking to gain their trust, even friendship after that, we most certainly willbe met, probably not with open arms but with at least as much good will to allow for an open and fair discussion of whatever productive topic that could help improve further relations.
    But if we allow this war to continue, the outcome will inevitably bethe death of humanity, together with most other living creatures on the planet and this ultimate disaster will rather come sooner than later, in fact it might have happened at this very moment.
    The thing that almost nobody is aware of at this point in time is the most frightening fact, that the destruction of North Stream I & II was done by using a nuclear device. You can doubt this as long as you want, there is irrefutable physical evidence that can be measured by means of basic natural science. Nuclear war has already begun and it had been the Americans who initiated it with a first strike. And no other than that evil thug, the reincarnation of Hitler and Stalin rolled into one Vladimir Putin is the one who desperatly but without flinching even a milisecond who tries with everything he's got, to recue us allfrom death in a fiery, self inflicted nuclear apocalypse. LET'S PUT ASIDE ALL DIFFERENCES FOR AMOMENT AND LEND THE MAN A HAND NOW! ARE YOU WITH ME, BROTHERS AND SISTERS?
    You wanna call me a Putin supporter? Hell yeah! With all my heart and you better join us NOW!

  7. The end of Satan's rule on earth Jesus called him a ruler of the world will start with global fake peace and security and destruction of religions worldwide which father creator hates hates because they false. But then you see human governments destroyed and most of the population. New god's government kingdom will rule
