Day 856: 5 Minute Freewrite: Sunday - Prompt: motorcade
For @mariannewest in @freewrite
What comes to mind is the shooting of John Kennedy on November 22, 1963, Parkland Memorial Hospital, Dallas, TX.
I am not a political person, but I heard many theories attempting explaining this. The theory that seems me the most probable is the theory of Kennedy being too smart for his own good.
Usually, people don't get to become president on their own. Behind them are powerful political and financial groups and they represents their interests. Everything else is rhetorics.
Allow me to correct myself, they "suppose to" represent the interests of the groups that placed them in power. What would happen if a president is not going to fulfill this obligation?
Well, imagine what would happen in a similar situation on a very small scale. Imagine a number of underaged teenagers who want to purchase alcohol - say a bottle of Burbon. They put together a pool of money (each gave a buck), found one guy who is over 21 and delegated him the task of purchasing the booze. If that young man will do as he was asked, he'll be given a free drink. However, imagine what would happen if he spends this money on his own needs? At the very minimum, the guys will express him their dissatisfaction and not going to delegate him for this task in the future, while at maximum they can beat him up or even worse.
Imagine now that it's a group of boys, but a group of very powerful and wealthy boys with all kinds of means of media and firepower at their disposal. Here we have a president and here we don't.
What did John Kennedy do that the big boys decided to take him out? I heard he wanted to make the American dollar correspond to its supposed gold equivalent and take the dollar printing from the hands of Federal Reserve. That's what I meant when I said he was "too smart for his own good."
But then again, what do I know? :)
