JFK describes "The Unthinkable" -- "The High Cabal"

[Greg Burnham]

Charles,

In my opinion, the scope of power to which JFK refers goes far beyond the constraints and/or boundaries of any nation's sovereignty, beyond any political ideology (communist, capitalist, or otherwise); indeed it goes beyond that which is "speakable". That his speech was made in the context of the "communist" threat is incidental to the larger picture.

Moreover, the words he uses to describe the "system" and the "conspiracy" are easily seen as attributes of our own government at the time (maybe even now) and of the Soviet Union--and beyond.

Greg,

I'm pleased to note that we're of the same opinion on most of these matters.

Believe it or not, you're preaching to the choir.

As I've previously referenced, the supra-national and supra-ideological forces that struck JFK also transcend time, place, and contemporary agenda. George Michael Evica referred to the individuals who embodied these forces as the "masters who were above Cold War differences."

I further agree with you that the fact that JFK's "speech was made in the context of the 'communist' threat is incidental to the larger picture."

My point is simply this: I'm not certain that at the time he made the speech JFK fully understood what you, I, and a handful of others now acknowledge to be true -- which is to say, the nature of the Unthinkable.

Wasn't it RFK who, some time after his brother's murder, said words to the effect of, "I thought I knew how the world worked, but I didn't"?

To end on yet another note of agreement: I share your sentiment that, "Moreover, the words he uses to describe the "system" and the "conspiracy" are easily seen as attributes of our own government at the time (maybe even now) and of the Soviet Union--and beyond."

I have a big problem with just one of your words: "easily."

I have tried to make these points for years. Perhaps you've experienced the same reluctance to confront the truth of which we speak that I've noted even among those most enlightened and daring of deep political observers.

Charles,

Sometimes even those with whom I generally agree on almost all things fail to appreciate these points. JFK's assassination must never be viewed in a vacuum, but rather in a much larger context. After all, for only in a vacuum do "lone nuts" exist. Many fail to overcome the inertia of "I have it all figured out" -- because they fear the ramifications of facing "what this means" as opposed to embracing the comfort afforded by believing that they know "what this is" ...an important psychological distinction.

I wrote this short article about 11 years ago. I called the "Unspeakable" by a different name. I call it "The Entity" -- but it is essentially one and the same...in a very abbreviated sense. Obviously I left a whole lot out...mostly due to the resistance of which you speak.
