1963 my parents were convinced the CIA killed Kennedy. 1963 . . . 55 years later what happened? were they, were we really that sedated to have just layed down.
Not alot of choices, eh? If we revolted, we then would be under communist rule. hmmm
If I or most board members was talking 18 months ago in the same manner we are talking today, they would be putting tinfoil on us. I look back and except for the name of the players, we were told then what we are being told now. r
No I don’t think we were sedated, but people really trusted the government, and the media. I never heard anyone say anything except my Grandma who said that LBJ did it.
I was stunned into silence - thought it was weird, and couldn’t fathom why she thought that, but I was respectful, so I didn’t question it.
I personally thought it was Castro or Soviets, but was waiting to see what the Warren Commission said. Bobby accepted it. So I thought it was either a lone nut, or else he was saving us from nuclear war.
So much of what we know today, was not known then. Walter Cronkite - most trusted man in America? Well he didn’t deserve it, but the news people then were trusted. I didn’t really even know about all the stuff in the Church Hearings on the CIA, until more than 10 years later.
Our local papers didn’t have much news. The radio and TV was the main source - so we were either uninformed or misinformed. The internet is the reason we know so much today. The other thing is, the declassified stuff - the patterns are there.
The one thing I did learn in the 70s was about the Bilderbergs, and that they selected the people who should become candidates. Knew they wanted World Government. Did not really know that it was to be totalitarian though-that came later. I just naturally distrusted any powerful group that would meet in such secrecy.
We had a good system, but it depends on having Christian values such as honesty, integrity, and concern for others. It also depends on a free press telling the truth. That was something that was already lacking even in the 60s.
The Soviets were also, at that time very belligerent, and they were trying like crazy to start a race war. So there were a lot of things to worry about.
I was following a lot of this stuffs roots 25 years ago on underground BBSs and for sure you were a foil hat wearer then if you believed it, or just resigned as to that being the way the world worked. The Pandoras box for the deep state was becoming enthralled by the potential of the emerging technology so much that they missed the fact that human resource base would avail themselves of the same technologies to pull the veil back, and see the creature behind the curtain.
A lot of people labored in obscurity and under threat over the decades to lay the groundwork for this exposure. People labeled as kooks in the least, or ending up dead or vanished at worst. Remember all those lost folks when this evil is rooted out into the light of day!
