IS HE THE ILLUMINATI’S #1 TARGET FOR 2016? TRUMP THREATENS TO REVEAL 9/11 CONSPIRACY AS PRESIDENT



“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”



ON TODAY’S EDITION OF SIGNS OF THE TIMES
C. Ervana (Video Source):
Uploaded February 20, 2016 — Donald Trump commented that if he was elected president, he would reveal who really knocked down the World Trade Centers. Like JFK's cryptic speech on secret societies delivered in 1961, I believe Trump's threat to expose 9/11 places him in danger.

Donald Trump went on to say it might have been the Saudis, which I believe was an attempt to redirect the conversation. It wasn't the Saudis who knocked down the Two Towers...

This video is not a statement of political support for Donald Trump.

Several clips were used in this video from CBS, Fox, and other news sources. I also used a clips from the Youtube channel known as Xendrius. I don't own these particular pieces of work and have included them in this video under fair use.

FLASHBACK VIDEO: LEFTISTS, HOURS AFTER ASSASSINATION, CLAIM CONSERVATIVES MURDERED KENNEDY





Though Kennedy Was Killed
In Largely-Conservative Texas



Greg Campbell, TPNN Political Analyst — Fifty years ago today, November 22nd, 1963, the country was shocked when shots rang out and our president, John F. Kennedy, was murdered. Our president that embodied youthful excitement and fought so vehemently against Communism was murdered, according to the Warren Report, by a Marxist sympathizer who had defected to the Soviet Union and married a Soviet woman.

Still, in the earliest moments after the death of President Kennedy, conservatives were demonized. Because the murder had occurred in Dallas, Texas, many in the media and around the country jumped to the conclusion that conservatives must have slain the Democratic president.

Fifty years later, several leftist media outlets continue to lay the blame on conservatives- despite the fact that Kennedy was killed, according to official reports, by a pro-Castro communist.

In the hours after the news of Kennedy’s assassination, NBC News, an outlet that serves as a bastion of liberal bias today, spoke with people on the street, asking about their feelings on the assassination. A man in New York, guarded in his declaration that conservatives were behind the assassination, claimed that “some people” held animosity towards Kennedy and may have been responsible. When asked to clarify who “some people” were, he explained,
“I don’t feel expert enough to express an opinion but the only evidence I have as to who these people are are [sic] these ultra conservative groups who have been distributing literature and spreading hate in Texas and who attacked [UN Ambassador Adlai Stevenson] about a week ago.”
Adlai Stevenson, a liberal Democrat, was hit with a sign by a member of a protest in Dallas nearly a month prior to the assassination.

The reporter then offered a pointed question to a woman who offered her opinion. The reporter asked that since the president was murdered in the South, if she felt that Kennedy’s racial policies had anything to do with the murder. She replied,
“That’s the first thing I thought of when I heard about it. Yes- I thought that probably some segregationist crackpot or something just- they had it all planned out. I really believe that his blood will be on their hands forever.”
The rampant speculation in the aftermath of tragedy often serves as a macabre and unhealthy testament to partisan vitriol. Though Kennedy was killed in largely-conservative Texas, the left’s willingness to immediately believe, without evidence of any kind, that the bestial conservatives with their backwards, hate-driven agenda must have made their political voices heard with murder, speaks to the polarization between the right and left that existed then and continues today.

Such rhetoric has no place in a discussion until more is known. This same conversation has happened several times in the wake of tragedy even in recent years. After Democratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords was shot, the left immediately presumed it was the work of conservatives. When a madman shot up a movie theater in Colorado- the left, again, claimed it must have been a right-winger because an Aurora man with the same name as the shooter belonged to a local Tea Party group.

Facts seem irrelevant to the leftist who need to highlight right-wing extremism. Just last week, the New York Times mirrored the aforementioned opinions on President Kennedy’s death and blamed conservatives for the assassination. James McAuley wrote,
FOR 50 years, Dallas has done its best to avoid coming to terms with the one event that made it famous: the assassination of John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963. That’s because, for the self-styled “Big D,” grappling with the assassination means reckoning with its own legacy as the “city of hate,” the city that willed the death of the president…

The far right of 1963 and the radicalism of my grandparents’ generation may have faded in recent years, they remain very much alive in Dallas. Look no further than the troop of gun-rights activists who appeared just days ago, armed and silent, outside a meeting of local mothers concerned about gun violence. If this is what counts as responsible civic dialogue, then Dallas has a long way still to go.
Days later, the Kansas City Star wondered if the same kind of conservative element might cause the assassination of President Obama. Pretending that legitimate political expression is the same as cold-blooded murder, the Kansas City Star noted,
We live again — or perhaps still — in angry times. And today, as in 1963, much of the anger is directed at a leader who is seen by many as “different,” a disruption of the image that some people hold of the nation and the person who represents it as president.

In 1963, Dallas was a hotbed for conspiracy theories, contempt for the federal government and insinuations about the president’s loyalties and motives. Half a century later, all of that mistrust and anger has metastasized through the Internet, cable news and other media.

Fifty years ago, Americans were shocked to learn that a group of influential Dallas businessmen had circulated “Wanted for Treason” pamphlets before Kennedy’s arrival. Today, material like that directed at President Barack Obama is abundant.
It’s odd that the KCS failed to mention the pro-communist leaflets routinely handed out by Lee Harvey Oswald for “Fair Play for Cuba.”

The left appears so curious and paranoid about the right. Seemingly uninterested in legitimate discourse, so-called “progressives” posture as if political outrage (even staunch political outrage) is somehow creating an environment of hate. While media outlets opine about the appropriateness of the NRA to speak out after a tragedy or about Sarah Palin’s website that used gun imagery, they gruesomely seize upon tragedy to push an agenda while claiming that the right has created a toxic environment of hatred.

Fifty years after President Kennedy was murdered, we can look back at the world then compared to now. We will never know what a full Kennedy presidency would have provided; the anti-communist Democrat was murdered by a communist and theories aside, no amount of convenient, politically-oriented revisionism will change that. » Full Article

President Kennedy’s Assassination
Hear History Live As It Happened On This Date, 50 Years Ago
November 22, 1963

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, knew the state of Texas was critical for a win in the 1964 Presidential Election. Plans were made for a five-city tour of Texas beginning in San Antonio and ending in Austin in the fall of 1963. The trip also was an attempt to bridge several differences between Democrats who were more liberal and those more conservative. From San Antonio, the presidential party flew to Houston and then Fort Worth. It was in Fort Worth the president made his final recorded remarks hours before his death.

The trip to Dallas was the big one. The official White House touring car was waiting for the president at Love Field. The rain had cleared and the top was removed. The scheduled parade ended with Texas Governor John Connally's wife Nellie turning to the President and saying, "You can't say Dallas doesn't love you." Seconds later, gunfire cut down Camelot in full view of the public and several home movie cameras.

The President is dead.

Cuban Missile Crisis
“Clandestine, Reckless, And Provocative Threat To World Peace”



In a televised speech of extraordinary gravity, President John F. Kennedy announces that U.S. spy planes have discovered Soviet missile bases in Cuba. These missile sites—under construction but nearing completion—housed medium-range missiles capable of striking a number of major cities in the United States, including Washington, D.C. Kennedy announced that he was ordering a naval "quarantine" of Cuba to prevent Soviet ships from transporting any more offensive weapons to the island and explained that the United States would not tolerate the existence of the missile sites currently in place. The president made it clear that America would not stop short of military action to end what he called a "clandestine, reckless, and provocative threat to world peace." » Full Article

THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION 50 YEARS LATER



Christian Information Radio



Host: Vic Eliason
The Crosstalk Radio Talk Show is heard each weekday on over 90 radio outlets across America and worldwide on the Internet. Crosstalk covers the issues that affect our world, our nation, our families and the Christian church from a perspective centered in the Word of God. Whether we discuss the economy, the political scene, the continuing moral collapse of our nation, legislation that affects the family, or the state of evangelicalism, our authority is found in the unchanging standard of the Holy Scriptures. Veteran co-hosts Dr. Vic Eliason and Jim Schneider have worked as a team for over 20 years to bring solid information to the body of Christ.

Guest: » Dr. Jerome Corsi, WND Article Archive

Air Date: September 17, 2013

On Today’s Show:
50 years ago, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was gunned down in a Dallas motorcade with his wife Jacqueline at his side, killed by an assassin's bullet in the prime of his life and the height of his presidential power. Since that time literally hundreds of books and film documentaries have been released. But to this day, the JFK assassination has remained the greatest 'who-done-it' mystery of the 20th Century.

Joining Vic Eliason to discuss this issue was Dr. Jerome Corsi. Dr. Corsi is a #1 New York Times best-selling author and a senior staff writer for wnd.com. He received his PhD from Harvard in political science. He is the author of the newly released book, 'Who Really Killed Kennedy?' It's subtitle is, '50 Years Later Stunning New Revelations about the JFK Assassination'. The book is being released nationally today.

According to Dr. Corsi, his fascination with John Kennedy began with the McClellan Committee Hearings in 1957 where the Elkins crime family were the star witnesses. He noted that this family warned Kennedy that he'd be shot with a high powered rifle from a tall building while he would be in a motorcade.

This is just the beginning of a story that uncovers corruption, lies, as well as the involvement of the C.I.A. and how Kennedy's death unleashed a new era of American global policy.

On this edition of Crosstalk, Dr. Corsi answers the following questions:

--What did the Warren Commission know that the public didn't?
--What was the connection between Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby?
--Was Oswald merely a C.I.A.”patsy”?
--Was Roscoe White one of the shooters?
--Is Kennedy's death related in any way to a speech he was about to give?
--What are we to make of the taped confessions from the Mafia?
--Did Lyndon Johnson know of the plot to kill Kennedy?

With his father's connections to the Kennedy administration, perhaps no one is better qualified to tie up the loose ends on this case than Dr. Corsi. Find out what he's uncovered from this critical time in American history when you review this interesting edition of Crosstalk.

Vietnam War - September 12, 1959

Situation Deteriorates In South Vietnam

North Vietnamese Premier Pham Van Dong tells the French Consul: "You must remember we will be in Saigon tomorrow." In November, he would tell the Canadian Commissioner: "We will drive the Americans into the sea." The U.S. Embassy in Saigon eventually passed these remarks along to Washington as evidence of the deteriorating situation in South Vietnam. The United States had taken over from the French in the effort to stem the tide of communism in Southeast Asia. When President John F. Kennedy took office in 1961, he was faced with a dilemma in Laos and Vietnam. He decided that the line against communism had to be drawn in Vietnam and therefore he increased the number of military advisers to President Ngo Dinh Diem's government in Saigon. By the time of his assassination in November 1963, there would be more than 16,000 U.S. advisers in South Vietnam. Under his successor, Lyndon Johnson, there would be a steady escalation of the war that ultimately resulted in the commitment of more than half a million U.S. troops in South Vietnam.

Kennedy Nominated For Presidency
July 13, 1960

“Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You,
Ask What You Can Do For Your Country”

In Los Angeles, California, Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts is nominated for the presidency by the Democratic Party Convention, defeating Senator Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas. The next day, Johnson was named Kennedy's running mate by a unanimous vote of the convention.

Four months later, on November 8, Kennedy won 49.7 percent of the popular vote in one of the closest presidential elections in U.S. history, surpassing by a fraction the 49.6 percent received by Vice President Richard M. Nixon, a Republican.

On January 20, 1961, on the steps of the Capitol in Washington, D.C., John Fitzgerald Kennedy was inaugurated as the 35th president of the United States. A fourth-generation Irish American, Kennedy was also the nation's first Catholic president. During his famous inauguration address, Kennedy, the youngest candidate ever elected to the presidency, declared that "the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans" and appealed to Americans to "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." » Full Article
