So you’re saying JFK was referring to the CIA when he talked about a “monolithic and ruthless conspiracy” from around the world?

Bookmark worthy, thanks!

It was mostly before my time, so I don’t have that kind of insight. When I read it, it sounds to me a lot like what we see happening in the U.S. today.

Ok, I didn’t know that. I was too young still to remember most of it.

Makes sense, I was too young to remember most of it. Still, does his description not strike you as resembling what we see happening in the U.S. today?

He makes reference to it, but also speaks of some kind of opposition from “around the world” that was working on “expanding its sphere of influence”. He also described this thing as operating in secret, not out in the open. Was Russia operating secretly? (I don’t know much about the Cold War.)

Assuming he was telling the truth and he was right, it doesn’t sound like something that would have disappeared from the world any time soon. Which then makes me wonder if what he was referring to has anything to do with what’s happening today, cause there does seem to be a striking resemblance if we compare it to his description…?

Any guess as to what or who he was referring to specifically? Like, who is “they”?

From his wording, I’d think it probably did/does.

How do you know that? Seriously asking.

Bah, could have just as easily been cause someone said something that hurt Trump/Musk’s feelings.
