I'm 40 now, so I won't make it through that day. But I've told my 8-year-old son to keep him healthy so that on a glorious September morning in 2038, he can walk into the National Archives and discover CIA and FBI secrets. They might push it back again, and it could be a matter of generations. Fathers pass problems to sons, from generation to generation. But one day, somewhere, someone will discover the damn truth. Until then, we'd better, we'd better give ourselves a new government. As the Declaration of Independence says: Once any form of government is destructive, the people have the right to replace and abolish it.
An American naturalist said: A patriot must always be ready to fight the government to protect his country. I hate to be in the position you are in today, you have a lot to think about, you have seen evidence that the public has not seen. Thinking back to when we were kids, most people thought that justice landed itself among us. Virtue is the best reward for virtue, and justice must triumph over evil. But as we grow up we find that this is not the case. Each of us must fight for justice, and it's not easy. Because truth always causes panic among the powerful, we have to take risks and fight against the powerful. People like Essem Holland, Lee Powers, Jasheen, Will O'Geefe, all took a lot of risk and went forward.
I have 8,000 US dollars sent from all over the country, divided into one yuan or two yuan, from housewives, lumberjacks, car salesmen, teachers, they are all ordinary people, and they are not rich. They drive delivery vans, they nurse patients in hospitals, and they watch their children drive to Vietnam. Why? Because they care and want to know the truth, because they want to get their country back. Because as long as we can fight for what we believe in, this country is still ours.
Seeking truth remains our most important life value. If the truth has been murdered by the government, if the people are no longer respected, then this place is not the country I was born in, and certainly not the country I want to live with all my life.
Denison wrote: The dead king was forgotten by those in power. This is the true portrayal of John Ford Kennedy. His murder is perhaps one of the most horrific events in our nation's history. Our people, our jury system, facing the verdict against Clayshaw today, represents the hope of the people fighting the government. So I implore you to convict Clayshaw before the jury is dismissed. I implore you. Don't ask what this country can do for you, ask yourself what it can do for the country!
Don't forget your dead king. This is still a government of the people, by the people and for the people. As long as we live, nothing is more important.
It's all up to you.
