On the network you can find a phrase about a mysterious conspiracy, allegedly uttered by the American president a week before his death. We checked whether Kennedy said something like that.

A completely replica of the 35th US president, appearing on many sites, sounds like this: “In this country there is a plan for enslaving every man, woman and child. Before leaving this high and honorary position, I intend to expose this plan. ” It is noted that Kennedy pronounced these words a few days before his murder in November 1963 - apparently, thereby the distributors of the quote hint at the connection between the speech of the politician and his death.

This quote is quite popular in the Russian -language segment of the Internet - it is found in social networks (Facebook, Telegram, "Zen","Living magazine" YouTube, Twitter), as well as in online brothers of various sayings ("Jahalva","Pearls of thought","Quotes.info"). You can also read about quote in the Internet magazine "Boston horizons". On English resources even publish Audio recording Kennedy speech with the corresponding description.

The murder of US President John Kennedy, which occurred on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, gave rise to many conspiracy theories. Supporters of most of them claim that, contrary to official conclusions, the direct killer - Lee Harvey Oswald - did not act alone and was connected either with Soviet special services, either with Chicago mafia, either with other large political or criminal forces.

And if the question of a possible secret organizer of the attempt is really not so obvious and is a difficult task even for special services for decades, then the verbal heritage of the 35th US president has been studied well. Meeting Quote John Kennedy was published on the website of the presidential library, the transcript of his speeches - on the project website The American Presidency. According to the publications on the network, Kennedy's revealing speech sounded on November 15, 1963. On this day, he performed at two congresses in New York: American Labor Federation -Congress of production trade unions (AFL-CIO) and Catholic youth organization (CYO). Both performances were positive, concerned already achieved and future goals. The president did not talk about any conspiracy in them. “Verified” did not find anything like in either other speeches of the American politician, nor in his books, or in any biographical publications dedicated to Kennedy, including not non-academic work with elements of conspiracyology.

Speech that can be heard on audio recordings, often accompanying the desired quote and containing words that “all over the world we are opposed to a monolithic, ruthless conspiracy that expands its sphere of influence with secret means” has nothing to do with Kennedy's last days of life. It sounded on April 27, 1961, three months after the president’s inauguration. That day is a politician He performed The members of the American Association of newspaper publishers called on representatives of the press to be guided primarily by national interests in the publication of a particular information. The background for the performance was the unsuccessful operation of the United States on landing A landing in Cuba. This press conference was not related to any internal conspiracies.

“Verified” turned to the presidential library of Kennedy with the question of the origin of the quote about the “plan of enslavement of America”. Archivarius Staci Chandler replied that the institution often receives similar requests. According to her, it is often argued that this quote sounded during the speech of Kennedy at Columbia University in November 1963. However, the library did not find any information that the president spoke in that educational institution that year. Chandler and her colleagues also failed to find anything similar in any of the databases available to them, including through the search for keywords in scanned archival documents, newspaper reports and transcript of performances by John Kennedy.

And if in Russian the quote first appeared on the network about Ten years ago, then in the proposed language of the original - English - its story is somewhat longer. The oldest case discovered “verified” its mention occurred in 2004, when the phrase signed by Kennedy was used as Signatures In network correspondence. However, even before that, there was a rather similar statement, which, obviously, became the prototype of the desired. We are talking about the words “the president’s high post was used to organize a conspiracy to destroy the freedom of the Americans, and before I leave my post, I must inform citizens about their distress”, allegedly uttered by the president at the University of Colombian, not seven days before his murder. This quote was quite popular in the 1990s-for example, it sounded during the hearing in Senate USA in 1997. The most old cases of its use, according to the Google Book project and the Archive.org website, dates back to the beginning of the previous decade. In particular, the words attributed to Kennedy can be found in three books not at all a political, but an economic orientation: ""Wealth for everyone"(1982),"Duck book. Investments in survival in the 1980s"(1982) and"Declaration of financial independence"(1983). Even earlier, in 1981, the quote was referred to Court of Appeal The seventh district of the United States.

On this, the traces of the quotes break off, and, apparently, it was born not much earlier than 1981, that is, at least 15 years after the murder of Kennedy. The phrase turned out to be very convenient for quoting in non -core publications and quite successfully rifled with various theories of the conspiracy in connection with the attempt on politician. However, there is no reason to say that the statement in any of the above options belongs to John Kennedy.
