Well Jim, Golden was OKAY... but when he got to Oswald he really showed his ignorance. He has no idea what happened. It's amazing to me that otherwise fairly intelligent guys like Golden, and Bill O'Reilly, still believe that Oswald killed Kennedy! It's just baffling. There's all kinds of really good research on the assassination, and it's like guys like Golden were just somewhere else.
By the way, at one point in the interview I suddenly got a new insight into our friendship. It happened as I glimpsed this juxtaposition between the pre-teenaged Jim Kunstler growing up in Manhattan, and the pre-teenaged Breck Breckenridge growing up in Midland, Texas. You can't find an example of such completely opposite cultures that formed you and me.
And yet now, we are brothers in arms against a sea of treachery. We see very much eye to eye.
Since you mentioned Kennedy James...
“For, in a democracy, every citizen, regardless of his interest in politics, 'holds office'; every one of us is in a position of responsibility; and, in the final analysis, the kind of government we get depends upon how we fulfill those responsibilities. We, the people, are the boss, and we will get the kind of political leadership, be it good or bad, that we demand and deserve.” —John F. Kennedy
Here is a way you can do that:
The only winning move is not to play the globalist's sick game. They thrive on our energy and the fear they stir in us. The one thing these emotional vampires hate the most is for their manipulation and terrorism to get ignored. Turn off your TV and internet, go local, and all of their terror goes away meanwhile we become stronger as they flail around in angst. Here’s how:
Civilization, goes and old maxim, is never more than three meals away from barbarism—once the food deliveries stop, so does law and order. Therefore, the baseline of preparedness is as follows:
Put all your support behind your local farmers, then become your own. A garden in every lawn should be standard. You can no longer trust anything from a corporation, so cutting out reliance on a retailer is a good place to start thinking about your resiliency. ‘Incorporated’ City water isn’t viable either for its quality or reliability, so wells must be dug (there is no resource more important in your life than clean water, hands down).
Beyond that, begin ending your dependence on their enslavement protocol Federal Notes by creating local currencies and discovering the art of bartering, start stitching together webs of alliances with your neighbors for resiliency, defense, and resource sharing (they might grow what you do not and vice versa)—put the “common unity” back in community, and get control of those town councils and school boards (the one place we still hold all of the cards) and get your kids out of them. Finally: stop eating, listening to, and watching things that are bad for your mind, body, and spirit, and, if so inclined, spend a good chunk of your time on your knees each day.
All of the above is a recipe for success. Let's get to work building a future worth living in, together, because if we do not, Harari & Co will ensure we will not have one.
Kennedy said in 67 words what Theodore Roosevelt said in 7 a half-century earlier: "We are the government, you and I."
I like that, thanks, will add it to my collection. Here’s are a bunch more: https://tritorch.substack.com/p/letter-to-president-trump-america
Thanks, Torch...I like the Zappa quote as well.
Thank you Tom. The man had piercing insight.
They had me up until Posner, too. Check out James Files and from where the shot actually came.
Yeah Posner (and by extension Oswald). See my comment above Ms. Wells.
Great interview and wonderful insights. Extremely naive and myopic about the JFK assassination. Pray the files are released.
"Extremely naive and myopic about the JFK assassination". I'm glad to see so many of us focusing on this. Calling Goldne "naive" and "myopic" is being too kind.
I loved this interview!
I did, too! I realized that I missed this one, and just listened...very interesting!
You had me right up until he started talking about the JFK assignation and quoted Posner - The absolute worst "authority" on the subject.
Amen!
Ike hated Germans, like Andrew Jackson hated the British.
