i want to know if the Lord Jesus Christ
is asking you to do these things
through our military
in the name of the People of the United States of America
or in His Name

because history will reveal
in whose name these things are taking place
the motives
the reasons
and whether there was any true authority
granted by the people to perform these acts
otherwise you will be considered to have usurped that power
and you and your advisors must be held accountable for your actions
history will judge righteously

i would like to know
who it is who is asking you to do these things
is it the American people
is it your Father and Mother
your friends and your family
is it your Secretary of State
or your Secretary of Defense
perhaps it is the entire JCS
whom Kennedy tried to incorporate
with intimacy and friendship
into his administration
in order that the office of the President
could manipulate the Pentigon
through General Maxwell Taylor

who spoke of ...

"... the importance of an intimate, easy relationship, born of friendship and mutual regard between the president and the Chiefs." [Taylor, The Uncertain Trumpet, pp. 18-21, and Sword and Plowshares, p.252.]

H. R. McMaster in Dereliction of Duty writes that Taylor

"... revised the conviction that he had held as Army chief of staff that the JCS should remain a "nonpolitical body" whose loyalty to the Constitution and the people superseded allegiance to any particular administration. " [my emphasis]

"revised the conviction" means that the Joint Chiefs of Staff were being retrained and focused under Kennedy to become a political body, instead of a non partisan organization. Our military was being forced to shift their allegiance and loyalty away from the Constitution and the people and toward the will of the administration.

correct me if i am wrong

i would like to know
who it is who is asking you to crucify these people
because in the end
you may be spending the rest of eternity
looking at these same pictures
and asking yourself that same question
