amazing that even 18 months after DJT proving to the world one can win the highest office on the planet with this book as a strategic bible, so many people even here still refuse to even begin to attempt to understand the subtle simplicity contained therein.

>Q Research General #1961:

The Inauguration of John F Kennedy

January 20, 1961

>https://www.jfklibrary.org/Exhibits/Permanent-Exhibits/The-Inauguration-of-President-Kennedy.aspx

In the 1960 campaign, John F. Kennedy pledged "to get this country moving again," and offered voters a new generation of leadership. He challenged his fellow citizens to join him in the struggle for freedom in the perilous years of the Cold War.

 

On Inauguration Day, January 20, 1961, nearly one million people in the nation's capitol braved the subfreezing temperatures to catch a glimpse of the new President they had elected. The hard issues of the dayā€”the Communist threat, a nuclear arms race, racial unrest, and economic distressā€”awaited the President and the nation.

 

Assuming office in the midst of the Cold War, JFK understood that his inaugural address would have to instill confidence at home and respect abroad. He believed that democracy thrives only when citizens contribute their talents to the common good, and that it is up to leaders to inspire citizens to acts of sacrifice.

And when he exhorted people to "ask not what your country can do for you," he appealed to the noblest instincts, voicing a message that Americans were eager to hear.

John F. Kennedy Presidential Inaugural Speech (full)

Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, Reverend Clergy, fellow citizens:

 

We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedomā€“symbolizing an end as well as a beginningā€“signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forbears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.

 

The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globeā€“the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.

 

We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americansā€“born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritageā€“and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.

 

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

This much we pledgeā€“and more.

 

To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can doā€“for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.

 

To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedomā€“and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.

 

To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is requiredā€“not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

 

To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledgeā€“to convert our good words into good deedsā€“in a new alliance for progressā€“to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas. And let every other power know that this Hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.

 

To that world assembly of sovereign states, the United Nations, our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace, we renew our pledge of supportā€“to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invectiveā€“to strengthen its shield of the new and the weakā€“and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run.

 

Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace, before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction.

 

We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.

 

But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present courseā€“both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons, both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war.

>>1560806 (cont'd)

So let us begin anewā€“remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.

 

Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.

 

Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of armsā€“and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.

 

Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths and encourage the arts and commerce.

 

Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of Isaiahā€“to "undo the heavy burdens . . . (and) let the oppressed go free."

 

And if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved.

 

All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.

 

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.

 

Now the trumpet summons us againā€“not as a call to bear arms, though arms we needā€“not as a call to battle, though embattled we areā€“ but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"ā€“a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.

 

Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?

 

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibilityā€“I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve itā€“and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

 

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for youā€“ask what you can do for your country.

 

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

 

Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.
