U-Predict Blog – Who Killed President Kennedy – 11/19/2013
There are at least 10 major conspiracy theories that are
still being actively pursued as we reach the 50th anniversary of
John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Most
people who lived through the actual nightmare and the Government investigation
that followed question the thoroughness of the Warren Commission – those people
who wrote the “history” of what actually happened. So it was with a swirl of accusations
appearing in the media that the Reading Room tackled this issue. The reading room included Ivy Lieberman, Jean
Maurie Puhlman, Elizabeth Kea (Kea Hypnosis), Joanne Matthews, and ReeNee
Cummins. We were thrilled to add two new
readers/commenters to the show – GeminiMoon and AMC28.
First, the number of Major Arcana cards that were pulled was
staggering. While we did not have a
great deal of synchronicity with all Majors, most of the 22 Major Arcana were pulled. The ones that were missing were The Chariot
(interesting because JFK was shot while riding in a car), and The Hierophant, which
indicates, by its absence, that things would never be the same in the American
culture. The number of Majors also
speaks to the scary idea of destiny; was this one of those karmic moments that
had to happen? How did it change
us? Most of us who lived through the 60’s
saw it as a time when boundaries were pushed.
Familiar roles and expectations were challenged. Most important, the people took to the street
again and again to steer the nation on a different course.
The Wheel of Fortune was another Major pulled in synchronicity.
Time and civilization moved forward
despite the assassination. But we had other assassinations – the president’s
brother Robert; of course, there also was the Reverend Martin Luther King. Perhaps one lesson we should have gleaned is
that a gun doesn’t stop a philosophy or a belief. We did go to the moon and “do the other
things”; we did continue marching (and still do) for civil rights; and we see
younger members of political families run for the same, or higher office than
their siblings or parents had to keep fighting for what they believe in.
We asked systematically if JFK was killed by the Mafia, the
Cubans, and the Government or the CIA itself.
The answer we got repeatedly was that the King of Wands (a man of
integrity, but with a single mindedness) did a terrible deed (the Devil or the
Tower followed) for money (a pentacle card appeared here). So the cards support a person carrying out
the plans of the assassination for money.
But a man of integrity killed the president of the United States? Here is where tarot is its most
fascinating. We do not all share the
same ideals or beliefs. Look at our
country today. There is a deep divide;
both sides see the other as flawed and dangerous. That is how most would see Lee Harvey Oswald;
but he was a man with deeply-held beliefs and that is what caused him to
act. The fact that he may have received
payment for it only throws us back into the quagmire that are the conspiracy
theories. The Devil card also talks
about a personal hell caused by thoughts or beliefs. Here is someone so tortured that he (or they)
thought the answer was shooting the President of the United States.
What did Kennedy believe in that was so frightening? He was pushing for civil rights legislation
and the KKK and other organizations were fighting back. The CIA was angry that he closed their secret
bases where they were training snipers to go to Cuba. He also had talked at the United Nations
about the need to cut back on weapons and actual troop numbers. JFK spoke about not plunging the world into
another war. We currently have a
Commander in Chief who won the Nobel Peace Prize for the same sentiment. He has an Attorney General who is actively perusing
civil rights violations caused by voter ID laws. The number
of threats against the current president is up 400%. Have we learned nothing in 50 years?
There was definitely someone else who didn’t like JFK’s
ideals. We had the 8 of Cups and the 8
of Pentacles in synchronicity as well.
The 8 of Cups speaks of being done with something, ready to move
on. This 8 came up when we ask about a
power within our Government being responsible.
The 8 of Pentacles speaks of speeding up the process. Whoever planned the assassination saw the
Dallas trip as the perfect opportunity.
The parade route was changed, the number of Secret Service taken on the
trip was reduced, and a hellish schedule of many stops in a two day period
provided just that opportunity.
JFK himself was portrayed as the Magician with a high number
of synchronicities (7). It was followed
by the Queen of Cups, who I think speaks for his love for his wife and his
family. I think is also speaks in this
case about his love of the job and of his love for his country. He was a man of vision; he did have new ideas
– and set about to make them happen.
America was in love with The Magician and Camelot. What would happen if we were able to have
that kind of an experience? If the
American people we to become enamored by a leader and willing to try new things
again, would we have a technical leap forward like landing on the moon or
helping the whole world with the Peace Corps? Or did the assassination jade us. Do we see all of our leaders as fragile –
someone who can be removed with a puff of smoke from a gun or the threat of
impeachment from those who disagree.
Where are we America?
Do we still mourn The Magician?
Do we want Camelot back? Will
taking our society backward like so many want produce the effect? U-Predict…
