🔥 TRUMP JUST REPOSTED JFK’S MOST TERRIFYING SPEECH — AND THE DEEP STATE IS PANICKING
JFK saw it coming. In 1961. And now, Trump has just made sure 300 million Americans see it, too.
The speech everyone’s talking about: Kennedy’s address to the American Newspaper Publishers Association, April 27, 1961. The CIA had just botched the Bay of Pigs. Kennedy was livid. He’d been lied to by his own intelligence apparatus. And he walked onto that stage and said something no president has dared say since.
“We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence — on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice.”
Read that again. Monolithic. Ruthless. Conspiracy.
This wasn’t some fringe radio host. This was the sitting President of the United States, on live television, telling the American people that a shadow network of power — operating through intelligence agencies, media complicity, and institutional capture — was working against the republic itself.
And then he said the quiet part out loud:
“Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.”
Sound familiar?
Sixty-five years later, Trump drops this video on Truth Social. No commentary needed. The speech does all the work. And within hours, the same media outlets that spent four years calling Trump a conspiracy theorist are suddenly very quiet.
Here’s what they don’t want you to connect:
- Kennedy was assassinated 2.5 years after this speech
- The Warren Commission was a joke — even the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1979 concluded Kennedy was “probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy”
- The files are STILL classified
- Trump has been pushing to release them, but the permanent national security state refuses, instead slow-walking the order
The timing isn’t random. This isn’t just history. JFK described a permanent national security state that has only grown more entrenched — one that operates beyond elections, beyond accountability, beyond the reach of voters.
Kennedy called it “a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations.”
That machine didn’t disappear when he died. It got even stronger.
Trump reposting this isn’t nostalgia. It’s a signal. The same forces JFK warned about are the same forces that tried to destroy Trump — Russiagate, two impeachments, lawfare, media blackout, assassination attempts. The playbook hasn’t changed. Only the names.
And now the sitting president just reminded the country who the real enemy has always been.
The speech that scared them then is the speech they’re terrified you’ll watch now.
Sharing this because they’re counting on you not to watch it. Don’t let them win. 🎯

Pretty wild how Zelensky just confirmed everything I have been preaching about Ukraine for years now.
Even many on the Right accused me of being compromised by Russia, simply because I accurately recognized Ukraine is a Deep State proxy, in bed with the Democrats, waging war on the United States and her People.
I’m not “pro-Russia”, I’m pro-America, and Zelensky just so happens to be an enemy of the United States, and he has been this entire time.
Ukraine has been a CIA proxy since 2014, and was the site of many offshore money laundering and racketeering operations, to include black site bioweapon development by the Obama administration.
What I’m really trying to say is, I told ya so.

Hundreds of Chinese companies are banned from selling their products in the USA.
This includes BYD, Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, Geely, SAIC, Dahua, Hytera, Huafa Fashion, and countless others.
But for some reason, it is extremely imperative that every country allow Starlink.

It’s really hard to prove a negative. However, when so many pieces of evidence around the Uyghur « genocide » turns out to be bunk, shouldn’t there be some repercussions for the reputations of the ppl making those charges?

Why European carmakers are losing to China
Look at the numbers from Volkswagen’s factories in Germany and China. It is hard to understand how European manufacturers are supposed to compete if these figures are accurate.
Emden, Germany
- Labour cost: €74 per hour
- Effective working hours: 1,282 a year
- Sick leave: 10.5%
- Vehicles per employee: 29 a year
- Factory cost per vehicle: €4,850
Tianjin, China
- Labour cost: €12 per hour
- Effective working hours: 2,065 a year
- Sick leave: 1%
- Vehicles per employee: 51.3 a year
- Factory cost per vehicle: €1,078
Portugal falls somewhere in between, but the gap between Germany and China is enormous.
So why is the debate in Europe always about Chinese competition, subsidies and tariffs, rather than the cost of making things at home?
European industry has to deal with high energy prices, expensive labour and production costs that make it increasingly difficult to compete. These are real problems, and pretending otherwise will not bring factories back or save jobs.
Brussels has responded by imposing tariffs of 17–35% on Chinese electric vehicles. But tariffs cannot make European factories cheaper to run. They can raise the price of imported cars, but they do nothing to fix the problems facing European manufacturers.
There is another point worth remembering. For years, European companies moved production to China because it was cheaper. They invested there, built factories and benefited from the business opportunities. Nobody complained when it worked in their favour.
Now Chinese manufacturers have become serious competitors, and suddenly the rules of the game are being questioned.
Of course, the car industry is more complicated than a simple comparison of factory costs. Technology, supply chains, subsidies and the models being produced all matter. But the cost gap cannot simply be brushed aside.
Europe needs to ask itself some difficult questions. Why has manufacturing become so expensive? Why are its factories struggling to keep pace? And why does the response so often seem to be protectionism rather than fixing the underlying problems?
You cannot keep blaming China while ignoring what has gone wrong at home. If Europe wants to save its car industry, it needs to make producing cars in Europe competitive again.

THE EUROPEAN UNION trade chief began his mission to China yesterday—but soon got a shock.
It started well enough, with Maroš Šefčovič meeting EU companies in the Asian country. “Day one in China, with one goal: begin rebalancing our EU-China unsustainable trade deficit,” the EU Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security wrote on social media.
But was in for a surprise—and not a good one. His post immediately received scores of responses pointing out that the huge trade deficit (about €1 billion a day) was largely the EU’s own fault.
For example, Europe makes astonishingly expensive chipmaking machines (called EUVs) that China urgently needs. But Europe bowed to US bullying to stop selling them to Chinese buyers.
This was a deeply hostile act that showed extreme bad faith—and directly affected the trade imbalance.
“Based on current prices, the EU would need to sell roughly 48,000 to 54,000 tons of Dutch cheese to China to reduce the trade deficit by the same amount as by selling just one EUV lithography machine to China,” said a commentator on X named Beida Ren. “The Chinese aren’t cheese lovers, but they do need EUV machines.”
.
OIL AND CARS
Others pointed out that European Union’s blind loyalty to the United States’ anti-Russia narrative means that it has cut itself off from the Russian oil on which it depended, sacrificing its own industrial base.
The Europeans had also become protectionist about cars (like the US but unlike the UK), which would hurt in the long run, commentators said.
“But Chinese people don't care much for EU products anymore,” said Joe Alano. “Even German cars lost their appeal in China when Chinese can buy their own brands at half the price with twice the tech.”
The running theme through most of the responses was the need for the Europeans to stop letting themselves be used by the United States and open their eyes to the wider world.
“China is the biggest market for European luxury brands - larger than America,” wrote Mwangi Kimani. “Meanwhile you don't want to sell China what it wants from you - high tech lithography - because your Washington masters stop it.”
The world’s message to Maroš Šefčovič: Free the EU!

The media coverage of Gaza broke something in the false consciousness framework that even Vietnam couldn’t fully break.
Vietnam happened before social media. The images were controlled. The body count was managed. The narrative had gatekeepers.
Gaza happened in real time, narrated by the people living it, on platforms that bypassed every editorial decision about what a Western audience was ready to see.
And what the Western audience saw, millions of them, especially young ones, was the gap.
The gap between what their governments said about human rights and what their governments did.
The gap between the coverage of one refugee crisis and another.
The gap between the vocabulary used for one population’s suffering and the vocabulary used for another’s.
That gap is not new. It has always existed.
What’s new is that an entire generation saw it at the same time, without the mediation of institutions that had spent decades learning how to make it invisible.
The mirror cracked.
Not because Gaza changed the West.
Because Gaza was visible in a way the West’s previous choices were not.

“The Chinese state stockpile is now valued at about $323.5 billion.”
Americans say: Why buy gold when you can simply steal other people’s gold?
And whatever it may be, the US uses that measly amount in U.S. Toilet Paper Dollars every 3 months just for basic warring maintenance. It doesn’t even account for the extras like their Palestinian genocide, their Lebanese ethnic cleansing, their Ukraine proxy war to use up the last of their Ukrainians and for bribing all their stooges surrounding China to prep for even more wars.
This is the American Way. 🫡
China has bought another massive 740,000 ounces of gold, about $3.1 billion, extending a buying streak that has now run for 23 months without a break.
During that time, official reserves have grown by 4.67 million ounces, thats roughly $19.5 billion in added metal.
The Chinese state stockpile is now valued at about $323.5 billion.

I want to invite people into a thought experiment, one that I suspect many will find insane.
The thought experiment: China is more democratic than the US.
Numerous *Western* surveys have now found that the Chinese government enjoys more public support than the US government. On the question of legitimacy, China fares better.
China also does better at securing basic economic freedoms and meeting the material needs of its poor. What's the point of the ballot box when politics becomes performative and politicians aren't held accountable when they fail to deliver universal housing, healthcare, or education?
I suspect a big part of the explanation for the Chinese government's commitment to public service is that top-level politicians in China need a proven track record in the domain of public service delivery. The Chinese political system is highly meritocratic, unlike the American one. Becoming a top-level politician in the CPC requires decades of bureaucratic progression.
Of course, China isn't more democratic than the US on every measure. The US has a free press and open competition for political power, although both of these are highly influenced by corporate interests.
While I am not convinced there's a clear answer to this thought experiment, dismissing China as a tyrannical dictatorship is ignorant. There are examples of failed authoritarian states around the world (I've lived in one), and China is not one of them.
So here we have Pierre de Gaulle, the grandson of Charles de Gaulle, saying:
"It makes me smile when people talk about Russian interference because it suits our political elites and allows them to avoid telling the truth to the French people.
Most of our politicians took part in the Young Leaders program, sponsored by the CIA"

China knows only the language of strength, not the language of diplomacy？
Wow, is this the European Parliament's latest stance on China? Until now, China had only used such language toward the United States—specifically during the high-level strategic dialogue in Anchorage, Alaska, in 2021, as part of a gradual counterattack against the trade war the U.S. had been waging.
It is understandable for the European Parliament to want to project an image of toughness toward China, internal unity, and a firm defense of its own interests. However, the problem is that you have fundamentally misjudged the situation and distorted the truth. You have labeled China a "decisive enabler" of Russia and advocated for a "sustained (European) naval presence and joint exercises" in the Taiwan Strait and surrounding areas. At the same time, you urge rapid action against Beijing’s industrial policies, characterizing them as an "existential threat to the EU," while demanding an end to dumping and espionage and insisting on fair competition.
These views are based on flawed premises and attempt to shift the blame for Europe's internal problems onto China. China is not the root cause of the dilemmas Europe faces—whether it be the rise of the right wing, tensions over immigration, the energy crisis, employment issues, the decline of manufacturing, or falling exports. China’s competitiveness stems from high productivity, the low costs associated with large-scale manufacturing, and the advantages of a complete industrial supply chain—not from state subsidies.
Even if you have never visited China, you should open your eyes to the reality on the ground there. Europe’s existential crisis stems from internal stagnation and infighting, as well as a long-standing reliance on the U.S., a blind faith in a "hypocritical democracy," and an arrogance born of past glories.
Throughout negotiations with Europe, China has consistently maintained a rational and patient approach; it is the EU that has repeatedly reneged on agreements and shifted its position. Finally, a word of warning: the Taiwan issue is a red line for China. Europe has neither the standing nor the capability to interfere—especially when you cannot even resolve your own internal problems.
Straight talk on China in the European Parliament:
The leadership in Beijing has chosen on its own to steer relations with the EU toward systemic rivalry. Not us.
Our hand has been and remains extended. We have never broken off dialogue. But since the reset of our relations, simply nothing has happened. China talks about dialogue, but it doesn’t listen.
And while we negotiate openly, Beijing is imposing sanctions on our most important defense companies. If that’s a sign, it’s certainly not a conciliatory one.
Joint solutions? We’d be happy to.
But we won’t be strung along. Europe’s patience has an expiration date.
As Europeans, we must take the initiative ourselves and become more capable of acting by increasing our competitiveness. Because China knows only the language of strength, not the language of diplomacy.

A litmus test for someone's knowledge on China, is to see if they call this the "Mao suit" or not.
The design or the popularization of the suit [in China] has very little to do with Mao. In China we call it the Zhongshan suit, named after Sun Yat-Sen, the founder of Republic of China in 1911, we consider him the father of modern China and the leader of the first modern revolution.
Both sides of the civil war respected him, even the political divide that resulted in the Chinese civil war, was that the Communist accused the Nationalists under Chiang Kai-shek, of betraying the original aspirations of the 1911 revolution and the 1927 anti-left purge of the KMT.
People see "Republic of China", that's today's Taiwan, so Sun Yat Sen must be US-aligned right? No, the Soviet Union provided Sun Yatsen and early Republican China with far more help than the US, from military to economic and organizational.
Most foreigners think they have a "free press" believe they somehow know Chinese history better than Chinese or China-aligned people who actually been to and read up on Chinese history. When in reality, they can't even get the name of a Chinese suit correctly.

Strongly agree with this.
There is something very dishonest about the way the China/WTO story is being rewritten today. When China entered the WTO in 2001, Western leaders were not simply talking about trade. They openly believed that economic integration would eventually change China politically.
That was the bet.
China was supposed to become richer, more capitalist and, eventually, more like the West. Instead, China used the opening of the global trading system to develop its own economy, lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and become a major industrial and technological power without giving up its political system.
That is where the real problem began for Washington and Brussels.
Now we are told that China is responsible for the destruction of European industry. Really?
European governments and corporations spent decades moving production to China because it was cheaper and more efficient. They built enormous supply chains around Chinese manufacturing and happily benefited from the arrangement.
And now that China has become too successful, the same people who promoted globalisation are suddenly discovering protectionism.
This is not really about “saving free trade”. It is about what happens when the country that was expected to remain subordinate becomes a serious competitor.
China did not force Europe to deindustrialise.
European policymakers made that choice.
The mistake was believing that economic integration would eventually bring China under Western political control.
It didn't.
And rather than admit that the strategy failed, they are now trying to blame China for the consequences.
“China is killing open global trade,” says Pascal Lamy. “Twenty-five years after China joined the WTO, the global trading system is reaching a breaking point.”
It is fashionable among the Western oligarchy—particularly in Brussels—to attribute the beginning of Western industrial decline to China’s entry into the WTO.
The hypocrisy is at its peak.
China’s accession to the WTO was a trap set for Beijing to lure it toward liberal democracy by bringing it fully into the capitalist system.
I devote a chapter to this issue in my book *Understanding China-West Relations* (2022).
Bill Clinton and George W. Bush had explicitly stated before China’s accession to the WTO (2001):
- “Entry into the WTO will bring OTHER BENEFITS to China beyond the expected economic benefits.” (G.W. Bush),
- “I believe it will move China faster and further in the right direction.” (G.W. Bush),
- “No country has figured out a way to embrace capitalism and leave democracy at the border.” (Bill Clinton, 1999).
By bringing China into the WTO, regime change was the real objective of the Western oligarchy.
It was the realization of its failure in 2017—following a speech by Xi Jinping declaring that liberal democracy was not desirable for China—that fueled the new wave of Sinophobia in 2018, which has only intensified since then.
The “parallax error” acknowledged by Pascal Lamy (nitter.cf/LAURENTMICHEL0N/status…) is in reality the failure to bring China under Wall Street’s control, coupled with a betrayal of the European peoples by the Brussels oligarchy.
Pascal Lamy is particularly implicated, given his role as European Commissioner for Trade from 1999 to 2004—precisely the years when the massive offshoring of Europe’s industrial base to China accelerated.
He therefore bears responsibility for the cost of this deindustrialization of Europe, estimated by Emmanuel Macron and his team at “one billion euros per day.”
Isn’t the recommendation by the Macron/Séjourné/Lamy triumvirate to transition from a free-market economy (which was acceptable only when it benefited European companies alone, but suddenly becomes unsustainable when Chinese companies also benefit) toward protectionism yet another “parallax error” to add to the previous one?
Why should the people of Europe trust the gravediggers of European industry to restore prosperity to the continent—and, what’s more, through heavy-handed protectionism, the very system they have fought against in the developing world for six decades?
China laying bare the brutal facts:
Donald Trump:
