While considering these events, I think about JFK’s speech where he talks about “a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy” that combines “military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations”
That’s some REALLY strong language... What historical events were / are occurring that warranted that description... very curious, especially considering JFK’s fate.
Not really. JFK was talking about the Russians. Or rather, the Soviet Union. That is blindingly obvious, given U.S. concerns about the Soviet presence in Cuba at the time. It culminated, as we all know, in the Cuban Missile Crisis, in October 1962.
