Subject: Look at the date.

This was in the wake of the failed Bay of Pigs disaster, which Kennedy blamed, rightly so, on the CIA. He was talking to the press about their cooperation with the CIA, if you read between the lines. Had they helped expose the plot before it happened, it would likely not have been able to go forward, and many lives needlessly lost would have been saved.

You must also remember that this is not the only forefather talking of secret societies in America's past.


This was also talked about by Washington (pre-Communism), Jefferson (pre-Communism), Franklin (pre-Communism), Lincoln (pre-Communism), Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Nixon, and the list goes on.

Besides if JFK ment Communists, then I'm sure he'd just say, Secret Communist Societies!

Subject: JFK Hints At Secret Societies Threatening America

Folks, it is just COMMUNISM that President Kennedy was ALSO talking about were the SECRET SOCIETIES that run America BEHIND the scenes. You have to listen to the speech at least TWICE before you get this -- ESPECIALLY the remarks about "SECRET OATHS," "SECRET SOCIETIES" and "SECRET PROCEEDINGS."

Get it folks? This guy is talking about the very people that ultimately killed him.

Great speech given by JFK. He appears to have one great sense of humour as he somewhat roasts the newspaper men he came to speak for. His main topic of the speech is how he believed in the freedom of the press, except in times of National Secuirity. In dealing with the threat of Communism, that he didn;t want to re-open the office of War Information, that he is trusting the newspapers to use their discretion. JFK makes a lot of interesting points, and is quite informative.
About the recording. This is one truly amazing recording as it truly sounds like it was made yesterday. Not a speck of hissing or anything. EXCELLENT job here. My only complaint that it ends prematurely, would have liked to have some fanfare after he finished, rather than the recording ending just right after the last word he says, But that's a minor squabble.
