Not even Hudiney could pull off a stunt like that.

If we do nothing, hundreds of thousands of North Koreans will suffer and die.
If we intervene, hundreds of thousands of North Koreans will suffer and die, as well as tens of thousands of South Koreans, and Americans, and Australians, and Chinese, and...

Both WW1 and WW2 were created by bankers and the industrial military complex which JFK referred to,for profit and power.Nothing has changed.In fact it is worse now with global corporate elites controlling our Govts,minerals,energy and resources.

So choose,freedom or facism.

Arjay,

Once and for all, it was not JFK who referred to the military-industrial complex, but Eisenhower in 1961, in his final speech as President, section IV, at

http://www.h-net.org/~hst306/documents/indust.html:

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

"We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."

Joe is was both Dwight Eisenhower and JFK who warned of the military industrial complex. JFK "Our way of life is under attack by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence........" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKJUIuy7cwU So we have two past Presidents who have warned us.JFK was in the process of breaking control of the Federal Res by printing his own money which the constitution allows.We all now know it wasn't just Oswald.There were many involved in his death.

Now this cabal of Oligarchs control the most powerful military machine on the planet and look like taking us to war under the false pretext of Muslim terrorism.

Arjay,

No, JFK did not refer to the military-industrial complex, but to communism, and perhaps to the Mafia as well, hard to say.

" ... the false pretext of Muslim terrorism ... " ? It's real enough, Arjay, you just have to get your head out long enough to look around.
