95 Billion in Foreign Aid - now tell me again that our grubberment cares for us?

…seems as good a place as any to recommend a book that I have been
rereading as of late …
I. F. Stone’s In a Time of Torment. It is a collection of his short writings from the 1960s. You just might have to make a reassessment of JFK and RFK after reading.

i.e. read the text of JFKs speech to The American Newspaper Publishers Association given on 27 April 1961 … a free press?

… and since we’ve segued into the subject of JFK … Mr. Liszt (Dark Journalist) often quotes the following from JFK’s speech at Rice University “We choose to go to the Moon”,
" … and we have vowed that we shall not see it (space) governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, …". He (Mr. Liszt) quotes it and then speaks about how JFK was solidly against space becoming a battle ground. But, as we all know, every politician leaves him / her self, if shrewd, a way out. Then a paragraph and a half later he (JFK) says, “I do not say the [sic] we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, …” Read these words carefully … implicate and / or infer from them as you will.
