Was JFK's comment on "secret societies" a statement against the "NWO"? I
searched this famous quote and finally found the full unedited written
transcript and audio of this speech.
JFK was actually talking
about current events of the cold war and how nontraditional enemies were
gaining information on how the US was battling this war. In this
speech JFK actually points out "the need for far greater "official"
secrecy"...as well as "the need for a far greater public information".
JFK
admits "I have no easy answer to the dilemma that I have posed," but
also states, "and would not seek to impose it if I had one." This a
major difference from where todays elected officials stand.
"The very word ‘secrecy’ is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings.
We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted
concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are
cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the
threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even
today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if
our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger
that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by
those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official
censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent
that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether
his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my
words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent,
to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public
the facts they deserve to know.
"The President and the Press: Address before the American Newspaper
Publishers Association", given by US President John F. Kennedy at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, April 27, 1961.
