That's because of two things: (1) Kennedy's unique ability to step into the shoes of an adversary in an attempt to resolve a disagreement; and (2) Kennedy's willingness to stand up against the Pentagon and the CIA and their fierce anti-Russia animus and ferocious anti-communist crusade.

As longtime readers of FFF know, for the past several years I have focused much of my attention on the Kennedy administration and the Kennedy assassination. This is best reflected by my new book An Encounter with Evil: The Abraham Zapruder Story,  FFF's other books relating to the assassination, including The Kennedy Autopsy and The Kennedy Autopsy 2 (both by me) and JFK's War with the National-Security Establishment: Why Kennedy Was Assassinated (by Douglas P. Horne), and FFF conferences relating to the JFK administration and assassination, videos of which can be found in the multimedia section of FFF's website. 

The natural question arises: "Jacob, why do you do this? That was some 60 years ago. What possible relevance does it have to our lives today?" 

The answer is a simple one: The Kennedy administration and the Kennedy assassination bear a direct relationship to the deep and perpetual — and now highly dangerous — foreign-policy crises in which our nation remains mired. More important, they point the way out of this horrific, never-ending morass of foreign-policy crises and an ever-shifting array of official enemies, adversaries, and opponents.

The Cold War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, coups, invasions, assassinations, regime-changes, sanctions, embargoes, alliances with dictatorial regimes, war on terrorism, war on Islam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Ukraine, and on and on on. The crises and ever-changing official enemies go on forever.
