JFK's Warning About Conspiracy

JFK tried to warn us. That's why they took him out.

Listen

For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic

and ruthless conspiracy

that relies primarily on covert means for

expanding its sphere of influence.

On infiltration instead of invasion,

on subversion instead of elections, on

intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas

by night instead of armies by day.

It is a system which has conscripted vast human and

material resources into the building of a tightly knit,

highly efficient machine

that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence,

economic, scientific, and political operations.

Its preparations are concealed, not published.

Its mistakes are buried, not headlined.

Its dissenters are silenced, not praised.

No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no

secret is revealed. I am not asking your newspapers to support

an administration,

but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of

informing and alerting the American people
