Almost everyone in America now believes that Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill President John F. Kennedy. We believe it was a conspiracy. We suspect it was the CIA or FBI who killed our own president.
And even now, every mainstream newspaper, radio station and TV station stands by the ridiculous Warren Commission report.
Comparisons with the absurd state of the press in the failing Soviet Union at the time of its collapse are unavoidable.
At the time of the assassination almost everyone in America believed that Oswald did in fact kill JFK.
The only reason we are closer to the truth now is due to the work of many independent journalists, researchers who have devoted entire lives to the truth.
The reason we did not know the truth at first is because of the laziness, the "complicitness," the lack of real journalistic work done by America's newspapers, TV news programs and radio — perhaps because of the many CIA agents disguised as "journalists" throughout America.
The New American Dream website exists because we think the truth is important.
With the election of Barack Obama we thought this would be a good time to burst like formerly blind bats from the dark cave of depression and lies and oppression and death of the Bush years.
Some things just are not talked about in America, either at Thanksgiving dinner or press conferences in Washington, D.C.
No public discussion beyond a whisper concealed by a hand.
Mention something outside the boundaries of accepted chit chat and your relatives, with one roll of the eyes, send you on a long slow train to Siberia.
It's effective.
The classic American smirk and shake of the head makes a person not want to talk about some things. Who wants to be thought of as a crazy person? Who wants to think of oneself that way?
But the result is that we end up not daring to ever mention important things that have an influence on our times and our lives and the lives of our children.
And in the process the pages of our history books become junk food, Twinkies and Ho Ho's for our minds.
So ... that is the reason for this website, which has been running since January 1, 2009 — to open the floor for discussion, to talk about some things — to say there are no wrong questions.
This is America and we are Americans and we are still alive and so we still have a chance to do something good.
The old American Dream had to do with gaining riches — going to work, maintaining a routine, a job, a house, a lawn — and trying to forget about the rest of the world, letting others live their lives in poverty — just so long as we and ours did not.
The New American Dream is that we will truly become the good people we have always imagined ourselves to be.
Please take time to explore this website. There is a lot here.
We hope you will enjoy it.
Thank you. .... and .... and ... and ... and ....
