Peace Speech:
“I have, therefore, chosen this time and this place to discuss a topic
on which ignorance too often abounds and the truth is too rarely perceived-
yet it is the most important topic on earth: world peace.
What kind of peace do I mean?
What kind of peace do we seek?
Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war.
Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave.
I am talking about genuine peace,
the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living,
the kind that enables men and nations to grow
and to hope and to build a better life for their children-
not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women-
not merely peace in our time but peace for all time.”
President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, June 10, 1963
Peace Speech by President John F. Kennedy, June 10, 1963 (27:06)

In his talk, James Douglass said: Late at night on June 5, 1961,
plane flight back to Washington from his Vienna meeting with Nikita Khrushchev,
a weary President Kennedy wrote down on a slip of paper, as he was about
to fall asleep, a favorite saying of his from Abraham Lincoln – really a prayer.
Presidential secretary Evelyn Lincoln discovered the slip of paper on the floor.
On it, she read the words:
“I know there is a God – and I see a storm coming.
If he has a place for me, I believe that I am ready.”
James W. Douglass – JFK And The Unspeakable (57:31)
Talk by James W. Douglass author of “JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters” given June 6, 2008 at Elliott Bay Books in Seattle.
