JFK WAS GOOD. THAT'S WHY THEY KILLED HIM

I'm reminded of the expression "out of the mouths of babes" whenever I think about the question my son asked me one day when I was talking about JFK.

It was in November 1988 and I had just bought LIFE magazine's special 25th Anniversary edition of the assassination of President Kennedy. I was sitting on the couch looking at the pictures when my two sons came home from school. They sat down beside me and I started telling them about JFK but I couldn't stop crying. One of them asked me why I was still crying after all these years. I told them that it was because JFK was so good and the people who killed him were so bad but JFK was gone and the people who killed him were still here.

Then my littlest son asked, "Mommy, if President Kennedy was so good then why did they kill him?"

I was just about to go into a long explanation when it occurred to me that the answer was actually contained in the question and I replied, "President Kennedy was good. That's why they killed him."

Several years later I was reading Arthur Schlesinger's classic, A THOUSAND DAYS, and was struck by the truth of the dedication he chose. It was a quote from Ernest Hemingway:

If people bring so much courage to this world

the world has to kill them to break them

so of course it kills them.

The world breaks every one and afterward

many are strong at the broken places.

But those that will not break it kills.

It kills the very good and the very gentle

and the very brave impartially.

In the years since 1988 I've been trying to teach people the truth about JFK. I've found that the only way to de-program them from the lies they've been told is to tell them to snap out of it and start thinking.

I ask them if they would trust the people who blew JFK's brains out in broad daylight to tell them the truth about anything. Most assure me they wouldn't.

I tell them that there is a strong body of evidence suggesting that the same people who arranged the assassination of JFK now own most of the mainstream media and use that media to tell lies about JFK's life and death. They pay authors to write the books and documentaries that tell the lies.

I then suggest they go and read "1984" because Orwell is proving to be very accurate in many of his convictions. I tell them that in "1984" Orwell told us that: "BIG BROTHER (the Party) owned the print media, as well as
