JFK: Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

[rottentuna]

Better start buying ammo, the house just passed h.r.347 which makes peaceful protest in close proximity to government officials or property a federal offense. >:(

[hehefromhere]

JFK and Ron Paul for the win!

[mainmedic]

If John hadn't been killed the US would never have become involved in Vietnam.

He truly was the last of the freely elected Presidents. 

[wasstraw]

I think Congress needs to be forced to watch this speech annually.

[patu8010]

And then Bush started a war. That's all folks!

[ytfmichaelxu]

I see this as one of the reasons why JFK got killed. The last real president of the USA.

[smellyfooty]

he was a good leader(or at least could have been for many years).

[smellyfooty]

and then... "bang! bang! i shot you down. bang! bang! that awful sound. bang bang my baby shot me down.."

[trillian1964]

For those, who look for the source, there is an article Address on the First Anniversary of the Alliance for Progress in wikisource There ist says also: Delivered at The White House, Washington D.C. on 13 March 1962. Origin of the famous maxim that "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." and "This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105)."

Here's another great quote: "You measure a democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists." - Abbie Hoffman.

Thank you

[zjbird]

Is there any video of him saying this quote instead of just the audio?

[ricthuse]

@zjbird I am not aware of video at this time...though I hope it exists. Maybe someone can find it. I set out searching last Friday, not knowing if even an audio copy existed. One had posted the quote in a comment under an earlier upload, which spurred my quest. Needless to say, I was thrilled to find the audio. A time capsule from JFK sent to our time it is. Who would have thought then, that it would apply so fittingly to the USA itself today. I was 6 when JFK was murdered. r3VOLution now.

[DarlingMySweet]

@ricthuse Can you tell me who wrote the quote? (NOT hating on JFK at all just curious)

How many were assassinated trying to get away from the FED?

Off the top of my head they tried to get to get Andrew Jackson's tomb says "I killed the bank"

President Lincoln tried to get away from the Euro with Green Backs

President Garfield tried to get away from the FED and was assassinated

President JFK tied using interest free United States silver certificate notes and was assassinated

Gadaffy recently tried using Dinars instead of American dollars to pay for oil and was assassinated

OWS is not about CHANGE or creating understanding and PEACE.

It is about creating ANARCHY and CHAOS.

[TheJesusaurousRex]

@NWsubmom it may be about that to you but it isnt necesarily about that for everyone

[NeatNetwork]

@NWsubmom I guess it's not chaos when a country spends more than $1 billion on defense and invades two countries resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths. We have to stop this perpetual war economy or we will destroy ourselves.

[NeatNetwork]

@NWsubmom I mean to say spend $1 billion every day.

[oicwatudidthare]

@NWsubmom

What? Regardless of your intentions, saying OWS is about creating "anarchy" and "chaos" is, inherently, creating "CHANGE."  Furthermore, they're protesting peacefully, which in and of itself promotes "PEACE."

[NWsubmom]

@oicwatudidthare They are NOT being PEACEFUL!

That is an outright LIE.

There have been rapes, assaults, harrassment against CHILDREN, using children as human shields etc, etc.

OWS is nothing but a bunch of MISFITS. Consisting of COMMUNISTS, ANARCHISTS, SEIU, ANARCHISTS, etc,etc,

[Saskatchewan00]

@NWsubmom Just curious. Were you there and saw these things with your own eyes or did you read that on the news. If it was the latter, I'll carry on thinking that they're peaceful and just.

[NWsubmom]

@Saskatchewan00 It is all over the internet and on video!

There are vids all over YouTube.

These idiots don't even know why they are there!

They are HURTING the people who at least are still trying to work!

It is STUPID and a worthless movement that only wants COMMUNISM and ANARCHY.

[Poaceaewave]

@NWsubmom how is that serfdom working out for you? or are you a member of the 1% lord class, or just one of the brainwashed Lush Rimbaugh ditto clones?

[NWsubmom]

@Poaceaewave I am with what you call the 99% asshat! The OWS doesn't represent 99% of the American people. They are an embarrassment to our country!

These idiots should be OCCUPYING THE WHITE HOUSE, not blocking bridges and schools and businesses, preventing US from being able to work and add to our economy!

[oicwatudidthare]

@NWsubmom

You are... the worst.

Also, occupy the White House? Stop putting all the blame on Obama and start looking at Congress. The Executive Branch is separate from the Legislative Branch, which is where all the problems happen.

Think about what you're writing before you hit "Post." Please. You're ruining our country by spreading lies and ignorance.

[indibabs122275]

beautiful. i would say i wish i was there, but then again being black i would not want to go back to those times. not only that but i would be alot older today than 35, so i will just thank you for this video! JFK is a legend. he had his faults like all humans do but i just feel this man was THE man if you know what i mean. it saddens me to think how he died. i think he had a good heart and good intentions for this country. God bless you RU!
