Who grieves for Lee Harvey Oswald buried in a cheap grave under the name Oswald? Nobody.
In a few minutes, false statements and press leaks about Oswald circulate the globe.
The official legend is created and the media takes it from there.
The glitter of official lies and the epic splendor of JFK's funeral confuse the eye and confound the understanding.
Hitler said: "The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it."
Lee Harvey Oswald, a crazed, lonely man who wanted attention and got it by killing a President was only the first in a long line of patsies.
In later years, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King men whose commitment to change and peace made them dangerous to men committed to war, would follow also killed by such lonely, crazed men. Men who remove all guilt by making murder a meaningless act of a loner. We've all become Hamlets in our country, children of a slain father-leader whose killers still possess the throne.
The ghost of John F. Kennedy confronts us with the secret murder at the heart of the American Dream.
He forces on us the appalling questions: Of what is our Constitution made?
What is our lives worth?
What is the future of a democracy where a President can be assassinated
under suspicious circumstances while the machinery of legal action scarcely trembles?
How many more political murders disguised as heart attacks suicides, cancers, drug overdoses?
How many airplane and car crashes will occur before they are exposed for what they are?
"Treason doth never prosper", wrote an English poet.
"What's the reason?"
"For if it prospers, none dare call it treason."
The American public has yet to see the Zap ruder film.
Why?
The American public has yet to see the real X-rays and the photographs of the autopsy.
Why?
There are hundreds of documents could help prove this conspiracy.
Why are they being withheld or burned by the government?
When my office or you, the people, asked those questions, demanded evidence, the answer from on high has always been: National security. What kind of national security do we have when we have been robbed of our leaders?
What national security permits the removal of fundamental power from the hands of the American people and validates the ascendancy of an
invisible government in the United States?
That kind of national security is when it smells like it, feels like it, and looks like it. You call it what it is: Fascism!
I submit to you that what took place on November 22, 1963 was a " coup d'état".
It’s most direct and tragic result was the reversal of Kennedy's decision to withdraw from Vietnam.
The war is the biggest business in America worth $80 billion a year. President Kennedy was murdered by a conspiracy that was planned at the highest levels of our government, and was carried out by fanatical and disciplined cold warriors. In the Pentagon and CIA's covert-operation apparatus.
Among them, Clay Shaw, here before you.
It was a public execution, and it was covered up by like-minded people in the Dallas Police, the Secret Service, the FBI, and the White House, all the way up to, including J. Edgar Hoover and Lyndon Johnson who were accomplices after the fact.
The assassination reduced the President to a transient official.
His job is to speak as often as possible of the nation's desire for peace while he acts as a business agent in the Congress for the military and their contractors.
Some people say I'm crazy.
Southern caricature seeking higher office.
There's a simple way to determine if I am paranoid.
Ask the two men who profited most from the assassination former President Johnson and your new President, Nixon to release the 51 CIA documents pertaining to Lee Oswald and Jack Ruby.
Or the secret CIA memo on Oswald's activities in Russia that was destroyed while was being photocopied.
All these documents are yours.
The people's property. You pay for it.
But because the government considers you as children who might be too disturbed to face this reality, or because you might lynch those involved, you cannot see these documents for another 75 years.
I'm in my early 40s so I'll have "shuffled off this mortal coil" by then. But I am already telling my eight-year-old son to keep himself physically fit. So that one glorious September morning, in the year 2038, he can walk into the National Archives and find out what the CIA and FBI knew. They may even push it back then.
It may become a generational affair.
With questions passed down, father and son, mother and daughter.
But someday, somewhere, someone may find out the damn truth.
We better.
We better or we might just as well build ourselves another government
like the Declaration of Independence says to, when the old one ain't work. Just a little farther out west.
An American naturalist wrote:” A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against its government."
I'd hate to be in your shoes today.
You have a lot to think about. You've seen much evidence the public has never seen.
Going back to when we were children, I think that most of us in this courtroom thought justice came into being automatically.
That virtue was its own reward.
That good triumphs over evil.
But as we get older we know this just isn't truth.
Individual human beings have to create justice, and this is not easy because the truth often poses a threat to power and one often has to fight power at great risk to themselves.
People like S.M. Holland, Lee Bowers, Jean Hill, Willie O'Keefe have all taken that risk and they have all come forward.
I have here some $8,000 in these letters sent to my office from all over the country.
Quarters, dimes, dollars, bills from housewives, plumbers, car salesmen, teachers, invalids.
These are people who cannot afford to send money but do.
People who drive cabs who nurse in hospitals who see their kids go to Vietnam.
Why?
Because they care.
Because they want to know the truth.
Because they want their country back.
Because it still belongs to us as long as the people have the guts to fight for what they believe in.
The truth is the most important value we have, because if the truth does not endure, if the government murders truth if we cannot respect these people then this is not the country which I was born in, and certainly not the country that I want to die in.
Tennyson wrote:” Authority forgets a dying king."
This was never more true than for John F. Kennedy whose murder was probably one of the most terrible moments in the history of our country. We, the people, the jury system sitting in judgment on Clay Shaw. Represent the hope. Of humanity against government power.
In discharging your duty to bring a first conviction in this house of cards against Clay Shaw
"Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country."
Do not forget your dying king.
Show this world. That this is still a government "of the people, for the people and by the people."
Nothing as long as you live, will ever be more important.
It's up to you.
FDR & a New Deal for America
“It is hard, today, to imagine the level of expectation that greeted Franklin Delano Roosevelt when he ascended to take the reins from the much-maligned Hoover‖ (Jennings 155).―People are looking to you almost as they look to God‖ (qtd. in Jennings 157). By the end of his twelve years as president, ―people would find it hard to remember a day when he was not their leader, when they could not expect, at a time of need, to hear his soothing voice‖ (Jennings 157).

1933: A Nation in Crisis ?1933: The Great Depression was almost 4 years old. ?Hoover was seen as ineffective ?Roosevelt was a symbol of hope ?The economy including the stock market, banks and general unemployment was reeling.

元宵节的英文介绍中文翻译 The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance. This day's important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddha's body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China. Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "Guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the Festival. Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during people's enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

富兰克林·罗斯福英语励志演讲稿 The only thing we have to fear is fear itself ; nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror,which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. 我们唯一害怕的是害怕本身;;这种难以名状、失去理智和毫无道理的恐惧，把人转退为进所需的种种努力化为泡影。 President Hoover, Mister Chief Justice, my friends: 胡佛总统，首席法官先生，朋友们： This is a day of national consecration, and I am certain that on this day, my fellow Americansexpect that on my induction in the Presidency I will address them with a candor and adecision which the present situation of our people impels.

How's the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of t hem looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?” ... simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over: “This is water.” “This is water.” It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out. 有两条小鱼一起在水里游，碰到一条老鱼迎面游过来。老鱼向他们点点头，并说：“早上好，孩子们。水怎么样？”这两条小鱼继续往前游了一会儿后，其中一条小鱼实在忍不住了，看了一下另一条小鱼，问道：“水到底是什么东西？”
关于元宵节的英文资料 another legend associates the lantern festival with taoism. tianguan is the taoist god responsible for good fortune. his birthday falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month. it is said that tianguan likes all types of entertainment. so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which they pray for good fortune. the third story about the origin of the festival is like this. buddhism first entered china during the reign of emperor mingdi of the eastern han dynasty. that was in the first century. however, it did not exert any great influence among the chinese people. one day, emperor mingdi had a dream about a gold man in his palace. at the very moment when he was about to ask the mysterious figure who he was, the gold man suddenly rose to the sky and disappeared in the west. the next day, emperor mingdi sent a scholar to india on a pilgrimage（朝圣）to locate buddhist scriptures. after journeying thousands of miles, the scholar finally returned with the scriptures. emperor mingdi ordered that a temple be built to house a statue of buddha and serve as a repository for the scriptures. followers believe that the power of buddha can dispel
美国总统罗斯福就职演讲稿（英文,中文版） 美国总统罗斯福就职演讲稿（英文版） President Hoover, Mr. Chief Justice, my friends: This is a day of national consecration. And I am certain that on this day my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency, I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our people impels. This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today.

And I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days. In such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difficulties. They concern, thank God, only material things. Values have shrunk to fantastic levels; taxes have risen; our ability to pay has fallen; government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income; the means of exchange are frozen in the currents of trade; the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side; farmers find no markets for their produce; and the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone. More important, a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of existence, and an equally great number toil with little return. Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment. And yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. We are stricken by no plague of locusts. Compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered, because they believed and were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have multiplied it. Plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply. Primarily, this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods have failed, through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure, and have abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men. True, they have tried. But their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition. Faced by failure of credit, they have proposed only the lending of more money. Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence. They only know the rules of a generation
罗斯福英语演讲稿：四项自由 mr. speaker, members of the7th congress: i address you, the members of this new congress, at a moment unprecedented in the history of the union. i use the word “unprecedented” because at no previous time has american security been as seriously threatened from without as it is today. since the permanent formation of our government under the constitution in 1789, most of the periods of crisis in our history have related to our domestic affairs. and, fortunately, only one of these-the four-year war between the states-ever threatened our national unity. today, thank god, 130,000,000 americans in forty-eight states have forgotten points of the compass in our national unity.
it is true that prior to 1914 the united states often has been disturbed by events in other continents. we have even engaged in two wars with european nations and in a number of undeclared wars in the west indies, in the mediterranean and in the pacific, for the maintenance of american rights and for the principles of peaceful commerce. but in no case has a serious threat been raised against our national safety or our continued independence. what i seek to convey is the historic truth that the united states as a nation has at all times maintained opposition-clear, definite opposition-to any attempt to lock us in behind an ancient chinese wall while the procession of civilization went past. today, thinking of our children and of their children, we oppose enforced isolation for ourselves or for any other part of the americas. that determination of ours, extending
