Requiem for a Fallen President
by Minister Paul J. Bern
It’s been 61 years ago today since president US John F. Kennedy was the victim of a targeted execution. I was 8 years old on the day of his assassination, yet I can still remember it quite clearly. I remember the teachers at my elementary school gathering together in the hall as they wept together. I can remember one of the nuns (it was a Catholic school) running up and down the hallway screaming hysterically. Meanwhile, they left us kids in the classroom as we struggled to comprehend what had just happened. All we knew was that somebody just killed our president, and that it was awful.
Six decades have came and gone since that day of national trauma, and as many have transpired without any closure for the American people. There are classified records in Washington that have yet to be unsealed, and yet hardly anyone says a word about it. It’s as if nobody wants to know. It’s as if we are afraid of the truth that’s in there. The ugly, unspeakable truth is that a coup was engineered on that fateful day in Dallas. A sitting, legally elected president was forcibly removed from office by a cadre of usurpers of presidential authority while on live television. Millions saw it happen right there is their living rooms. The shock of all that transpiring, the horror of it all, partially explains the unwillingness of some Americans to talking about it even to this day.
As this 61st anniversary of the first Kennedy assassination is still remembered today (don’t forget there were two), I wish that a renewed and greater outcry would take place. America’s people deserve to know the truth concerning the assassination. They also need to learn the truth about what happened to our country ever since, which is that the US is being dominated by the perpetrators of the JFK murder, and that they own the whole country lock, stock and barrel. Only a popular uprising will change that.
