  • For the people out there still engageing in the polarization of America thru the political system by the news media. I am not a Democrat or Repulican I do not like George Bush OR Hillary Clinton. The only purpose of this video is to show the threat we are facing today was seen many years ago. It is our PRESIDENTS that labeled this a conspiracy not me. Eisenhower and Kennedy both warned us of this oncoming situation. So now who is the conspiracy nut? Democrats or Repulicans?

  • My goodness. How far we have traveled from JFK to the world of George W. Bush. A 180 degree turnaround. We lost a tremendous leader in JFK. A true "philosopher president" if there ever was one. Now, this country continues it's noseward dive into mediocrity and secrecy as espoused by the George W. Bush administration. We are doomed.

  • If you look back in the History you will realize Nathan Rothschild paid Marx while he was writing the communist manifesto , they paid Trotsky who left America and went to Russia with money to finance the revolution , the Communist revolution was a joke Stalinist=other kind of fascist, if you look back to communist country the same pattern come back,country went into serious debt because of war and people starved while leader were living a wealthy life and killing opposition.Open your eyes

  • so is Obama's Tell all policy and writing checks that no one can cash, is that working? Is the news telling the Taliban everything we are doing and how we are surrounding them and our locations working out. Or are we still fighting a bunch of Heroin dealers who can move not only large amounts of drugs but guns, bombs, even warheads...

  • The men behind the curtain controlled both.

    The Rothschilds also helped Hitler get started and the family openly admitted to funding both sides of wars. (pre-~1911)

  • in this video, Kennedy calls the USA a Republic (which it is supposed to be ) - I've been trying to track down the first president to start referring (falsely) to the USA as a 'Democracy' instead of a Republic - good to know it wasn't Kennedy. You're right about today's Democrats not being anything like Democrats of this Kennedy's era. I'm not sure about 'wicked', though... I think it's just 'good intentions' coupled with a lack of understanding about the role of government & the constitution.

  • Wow you must either have low comprehension skills or downright naive to state something like that. Yes he referred to the enemies like the Soviet Union when reporters became irresponsible in their journalism that would endanger national security on the things they put out, but also warned about people within the nation that allowed it knowing full well of the consequences. That comes back around referring to the domestic enemies that would sacrifice lives for monetary gain and control.

  • Perhaps if you consider LISTENING to the speech you will gather that in fact JFK is refering to the Russians in his description of secret government.

  • As much as this was a warning about secret government in America, it was about the importance of news organizations to recognize clear and present dangers and to be responsible in their reporting so as not to empower the enemy, which the media is failing at miserably today.

  • All of you bashing todays democrats...CHeck out the views of congressman Dennis Kucinich. Lets take this nation back

  • Thanks for posting these videos. As much as I love the openness that we enjoy in the U.S., I think Kennedy approaches the subject of secrecy in a responsible way in this address. It's important to point out that he is clearly referring to the Soviet Union when he speaks of secret societies, infiltration, and conspiracy (in part 2). Eisenhower's speech was more specific and directed at the U.S., but even he recognized the need for the development of a "permanent arms industry" in the U.S.
