Echoes of JFK's warning about "Secret Societies" and the FBI's missing "text messages"

in #news6 years ago

On April 27, 1961, President Kennedy spoke to a gathering of the Newspaper Publishers Association at the Waldorf Hotel. His haunting message about the dangers of "secret societies" and their inherent threat to democracy ring true to this day.

Here is the link to the recording of President Kennedy's speech.

If you want to cut to the chase of his message, go to 6:36 of the audio - "The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society.".....
