LOL He lied about a "missile gap" in order to frighten the electorate - causing Eisenhower to give his famous Military Industrial Complex speech. Who do you think he was talking about in that speech, if not "Saint Kennedy"? In addition to being loyal servants of the Militlary Industrial Complex, the Kennedy clan was also inextricably linked to Red-baiting Communist Witch-hunter Senator Joseph McCarthy, who infamously stood as Godfather to "Saint RFK's' daughter, as well as having dated two Kennedy sisters. The Kennedys were among the coldest of cold warriors - they wiretapped MLK under the guise of "Anti-communism" - RFK himself signed off on the illegal wiretaps - this should be viewed in light of RFK's service as an senate staffer/aid to McCarthy! Why are you so invested in perpetuating the self-serving mythology of the American Empire?

It's not really even the details that matter. The underlying catalyst of war is fear. When one side strikes, the other becomes fearful and seeks to strike back to ease their fears. Repeat that cycle enough times, and people get lost in the fear and justify the violence. We just need taxpayers to understand their own emotions and how they justify vicious cycles of war. It's not about history, it's about critical thinking. We just need to gain control over our fears.

America can still be a leader and competitive with China. It's just the bloated defense industry preventing this from happening. If America had real change, diverge funds away from war and put it into development of infrastructure and economic policy for development of technology. It would put the US ahead of China. America playing world police is a waste of resources, these war profiteers are hurting American industry. China will continue to get the upper hand in deals if the US cannot offer anything other than defense contracts. Logical leaders will pick infrastructure development over US military bases. RFK Jr is what America needs but due to political bureaucracy, slander, and censorship, he faces difficulty in getting support. If he can get through all the obstacles and get his messages out.

To get to the point. Kennedy's final decision was his decree to take away the Federal Reserve's right to print dollars. A right that the initiators of the FED had granted themselves in Congress on December 23, 1913. On a day when very few people were still present in Congress, most of them were already on Christmas vacation. That was the background to his murder. It is significant that the first act of his successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, was to withdraw this decree. Since then it should be clear to everyone that it is not just any president who controls the USA, it is the masters of the Fed. Who are these initiators of the FED, both Hedges and Sachs know this. It is equally interesting who still runs this FED today and who ran it in the past. It's about the rule of money. Which companies are best suited for this? Correct. The military. The military is purely a consumer machine. The only thing they need is conflict. And nothing is easier than creating conflict. They are Zionists. And Zionists are by no means Jews and certainly not the Jews. They are people of all kinds. People who rely primarily on a statement from the Torah/Bible, namely that they are the "chosen people", chosen to rule the world.

The speech spoken at American University was beyond eloquent. It is my favorite speech of all time. It meant everything to me. I was 10 years old, one mile from Carlswell AF base when we came within hours from nuclear war. My father, packed our car and spoke with SAC to find out the time frame to remove us from ground zero, much less the nuclear fallout. It couldn’t be done in time. The back channel deal the Kennedy’s did with Khrushchev saved America and the world. Allen Dulles killed the Kennedy’s, therefore. My elementary school had us doing drills with moms in cars picking up all the kids and driving out of ground zero. I think of where we are today. Nothing has changed since the assassination of the Kennedy’s. Power truly does corrupt and it truly does corrupt absolutely…Lord Acton, Truman…Years later when my father was elderly I asked him about how we almost came to nuclear war and said, Dad why didn’t you get us out of the country to South America. He said it wouldn’t have mattered the earth would have been devastated at the level of nuclear material released. He would have known. He was a Nuclear Engineer.😮

Thank you, Chris Hedges and Mr. Jeffrey Sacs . I bought the book, and it is extremely informative . Thank you. My middle brother was in the Navy and was in the Bay of Pigs. My brother told me about that particular Russian submarine and the story. The ruthlessly around his presidency was unforgivable. President Kennedy's assassination was a loss for our country. He will never be forgotten in American history. A great statesmen we have had not since, regrettably. I have the book, "R.F.K The Man Who Would Be President," written by Ralph de Toledana in 1967. Excellent critical analysis by Mr. Jeffrey Sacs on Ukraine. We saw it coming when we left Afghanistan the way we did and on to the next war. In the 400 years of our country, we had only twenty years of peace. (Twenty years) I'm listening to this again and it is a very important part of American history. It may have been a different world for all of us today, if President Kennedy had lived. Many at the top including the military and Alan Dulles had it out for President Kennedy. In retrospect, where did Robert McNamara stand with President Kennedy and Vice- President Johnson? Under the Johnson administration, the USS Liberty Navel Ship AGTR-5, 1967 6-day, was hit by Israei forces. James A. Ennes, Jr., wrote a book, "Assault on the Liberty, "The True Story ofthe Israeli Attack of an American Intelligence Ship. A few documentaries were made about this horrible incident and nothing was done for all these great men who were on that ship to come to.their aid after the Israelis forces hit that ship. The attack lasted more than two hours, killing 34 Americans and wounding 171 others. The men on that ship were asked to sign an oath that they could never repeat what happened. It was a cover up on purpose. My brother, Tommy Wayne Wheeler, was aboard the ship, and he was one of the fortunate ones that live. Unfortunately, his beautiful soul and mind mind was harmfully damaged, and he passed away on July 3rd,1983. Many families were affected by this incident. All sides are betraying the American people today both the Repulicans and the Democrats and those of powers of greed and wars for profits. May we alll find peaceful solutions now while we can. Just like what lived in President Kennedy's soul, and Dr. Martin Luther KingJr, Malcolm X, and Mandella and others. I will not vote blue or red in the election of 2024. If Cornel West doesn't make it. I will be voting for watermelon. 🙏❤️🌍🌿🕊🎵🎶

You need to ask why the US ruling class has an obsession with hegemony? Whose material interests are served? What would it mean if the USD ceased to be the reserve currency of the world? How would the US finance its debts if US Treasury Bonds weren't the safest financial instrument. The problem for Hedges and Sachs is there silence on the crisis of US capitalism. Why can't they say anything about it? The contradiction of an integrated world economy divided into competing nation-states cannot be resolved peacefully under capitalism. Germany was the primary aggressor in WWI and WWII because its economy developed late and when that exceeded its borders the world had already been divided among the other imperialist powers. It had to fight for its 'place in the sun'. Today the US is the primary aggressor because, like every great power before, it will not relinquish its wealth, power and privileges without using all the might, force, terror and violence at its disposal. There is a force that can stop it. Imperialist war abroad means class war at home. Workers, students and youth are going to be confronted with either supporting the war plans or compelled to consider the need for a revolution. If the principles of the US Declaration of Independence were applied today the government would be overthrown by next week. But the next revolution must be to overturn the anachronistic profit system so workers can democratically control the product of their collective labor, it must be socialist. To do that the most class conscious layers must urgently study history and learn its lessons. Please read the World Socialist Webs Site for more. fight to build the Socialist Equality Party.

Two brilliant minds - Sachs and Hedges. Sachs wears many hats - economist, author, diplomat, geopolitical analyst and teacher extraordinaire. Hedges is an extraordinary journalist and writer. Brilliant conversation and more than that - a valuable history lesson.

It is encouraging to know that there are people with this level of consciousness and who insistently tell us that there is always a ray of hope for peace. Chris and Professor Sachs do an admirable service to the planet! And we are deeply grateful for that!

I’d like to offer a correction re the Soviet sub story, not to nit-pick, but because the man who refused to fire the weapon’s name should be revered worldwide: Vasily Arkhipov. I may mix up details, but this is the gist: The political officer in fact agreed with the sub’s Captain. Arkhipov was the sub’s Exec. Soviet policy for a sub launch required 3 inputs (don’t know if it actually required 3 keys): the sub’s skipper, the political officer, and the executive officer. In point of fact, Arkhipov was outranked by BOTH men willing to launch, yet stood his ground on the premise that, having been out of communication, they had no way of really knowing what was happening at the surface. Add to that, that the boat had been harried by at least one US vessel, I believe for a matter of days, and nerves were beyond the ragged edge. That one, sane, courageous, honorable man, under tremendous pressure in so many ways, outranked AND under orders, quite literally saved the world. By refusing the easy thing.

"We want unipolarity." Sachs hits the nail on the head with this. I thought we coulld actually get the peace he speaks of, and there was perhaps a brief window of it when I was in Russia, although the gears were already grinding to bring us to where we are. US foreign policy continues to be a shit show for everyone, including Americans.

Those who are pushing for NATO expansion onto the borders of Russia are playing a high stakes poker game and our lives, our treasure, and perhaps the survival of humanity are the table stakes. The greed and hubris required to make such wagers seems likely to eventually lead to disastrous outcomes.

The experiemce tempered JFKs perspective and strengthened his resolve to pursue peace and survival. Thank you for presenting this insightful interview.

Thank you Prof. Sachs for sharing this important part of American political history.

Kennedy has never been given credit to his ability and strength to know he was in danger and forge ahead. He was a PT Boat Commander who got battle and survival tested, and survived. When he resisted and persisted, he signed a contract that led to his fate. I think think JFK and John Lennon would have gotten along very well.

This interview is marvelous. Sachs is exquisite throughout. And it's extremely gratifying to see the brilliant Chris Hedges expand his own perspective to realize that President Kennedy was not just another ruling class Cold Warrior, but a unique and great statesman. Thank you both.

Also take note of the comment sections in this video and one by Brand, or Piers, or Tucker, or Elon Always the same vapid affirmations, no nuance or discussion, just empty eyed seal clapping Very Orwellian Adding to that online fury were widespread anecdotes of social media users being swarmed by Depp fans on Twitter if they spoke critically of the actor or even just sympathetically towards Heard. While the overwhelming theory is that Depp’s team employed the use of fake accounts in Russia (a.k.a. “bots”) to boost support for the actor on social media, a new study reportedly suggests that’s not entirely the case. According to Bot Sentinel, yes, an “organized campaign of widespread targeted harassment,” but there were actual people behind the attacks. According to the full report, which you can read here, the harassment campaign was described as “one of the worst cases of cyberbullying and cyberstalking by a group of Twitter accounts that we’ve ever seen.” Bot Sentinel also concluded that Twitter failed to act accordingly to protect users. “It’s our opinion Twitter didn’t do enough to mitigate the platform manipulation and did very little to stop the abuse and targeted harassment,” the report stated. “Twitter essentially left the women to fend for themselves with little to no support from the platform.” (Via CBS News)

Wow, this discussion is great, and so needed right now. Thanks, Chris, Jeffrey (and Julian).

Great overview from Jeffery Sachs 👍

There was also a Soviet early warning system failure in the 1970s I think, that reported a full scale US nuclear attack on the CCCP. The protocol was a full scale counter-launch but the launcher took lots of risk to wait for confirmation and narrowly avoided armageddon. He was later awarded the honour of HERO OF THE SOVIET UNION. Mankind owes a lot to this fellow.

I tried to get this speech in my documentary Good Thinking in 2012 and could not get the permissions to use it. So so disheartening. It remains most remarkable, and what is needed today. But JFK made several amazing speeches building the peace in the years before this. ... one was at the UN right after Sec. General Dag Hammärskjold was murdered (1961. another horror of the Wests dark world), and JFK was getting too close to ending the darkness that was upon those who work toward peace. Also two months before he is murdered he speaks at the UN again about going to Space with the Soviets. That most likely was the final seal of his fate, that and signing the directive to pull out of Vietnam. One MUST read James Douglass's book JFK, and the Unspeakable. Goes over much of this very clearly.
