Excerpts from John F. Kennedy’s ‘The President and The Press’ (1961)

“..The very word ‘Secrecy’ is repugnant in a Free and Open society; and we are, as a people, inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings. We decided (long ago) that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it.

Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know..

..Today, no war has been declared - and however fierce the struggle may be, it may never be declared in the traditional fashion. Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet, no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired.

If the press is awaiting a declaration of war before it imposes the self-discipline of combat conditions, then I can only say that no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are awaiting a finding of “clear and present danger,” then I can only say that the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent.

It requires a change in outlook, a change in tactics, a change in missions - by the government, by the people, by every businessman or labor leader, and by every newspaper. For 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, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is 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.

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. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match..

..No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding; and from that understanding comes support or opposition. And both are necessary. I am not asking your newspapers to support the Administration, but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed.

I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers - I welcome it. This Administration intends to be candid about its errors; for as a wise man once said: “An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors; and we expect you to point them out when we miss them.

Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed - and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment - the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution - not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply “give the public what it wants”, but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices - to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.

This means greater coverage and analysis of international news - for it is no longer far away and foreign, but close-at-hand and local. It means greater attention to improved understanding of the news as well as improved transmission. And it means, finally, that government at all levels, must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security - and we intend to do it.

It was early in the Seventeenth Century that Francis Bacon remarked on three recent inventions already transforming the world: the compass, gunpowder, and the printing press. Now the links between the nations first forged by the compass have made us all citizens of the world, the hopes and threats of us all. In that one world’s efforts to live together, the evolution of gunpowder to its ultimate limit has warned mankind of the terrible consequences of failure.

And so, it is the printing press - to the recorder of man’s deeds - the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news - that we look for strength and assistance; confident that, with your help, man will be what he was born to be: Free & Independent.”

Readings are fascinating, I always found each and every story unique and worth listening to. I gave a beautiful reading yesterday, I did my usual pre-tarot activites, where I meditated on and embodied the energies within the connection. The World, The Lovers and The Two of cups presented themselves. Thanks to tarot I knew that this connection was divinely guided and that this situation will be one that is fruitful, blossoming into something more, something worth the aches of the past. A true connection which showcases love within every aspect. Hidden emotions will soon come to light and both parties will see a love that was made for them, by themselves. Beautiful indeed. For future pick a card tarot readings please subcribe to our youtube channel for more.

My all-time favorite version of the Star Spangled Banner performed by the greatest guitar player of all time - Jimi Hendrix.

This one is for my country - For Freedom & Liberty & Justice For ALL. May God be with us all.
