I began to see evidence of that in the late 60s with the mindset of my generation. I realized immediately that if they get their way they wouldn't be able to protest the way they were. I couldn't convince any of them of that simple logic. What I didn't see at the time is it was the Democrat Party that was the big influence. JFK was still fresh in everybody's mind as well as RFK and MLK.

I am reminded of a speech that JFK gave just days before he was assassinated in 1963. I had been hearing about this speech for decades without really listening to it. I had an understanding of it but I never really thought that our government would allow something like that to happen. Then I became a Republican and as Ronald Reagan said, my eyes were opened. Here is the speech by JFK just days before he died: "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. But we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covet means for expanding its sphere of influence. On infiltration instead of invasion. On subversion instead of election. On intimidation instead of free choice. It is a system that has conscripted vast human and material resources, in the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations. Its preparations are sealed not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced not praised. No expenditure is questioned no secret is revealed. That is why the Athenian lawmaker, Solon, decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. I am confident with your help man will be what he was born to be free and independent."[1]
