Rebirth in America
Chapter 345: U.S.-Soviet Cooperation
1963 was a turbulent time.
But it was also an era of rapid development. The economic development speed in the more than 20 years after the war reached a historical peak. Especially the economy of the United States, almost no other country can compare with them.
As for technology, it is developing explosively. The emergence of various electronic and electrical products, aerospace technology, large computers, personal computers, the Internet, etc. has made life in this era rich and colorful.
However, it is the United States that leads the world trend, so this century is called the American Century! Only the Soviet Union could somewhat compete with it, but after the Cuban Missile Crisis, the relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States took a surprising turn. They moved from a relationship of competition and hostility to a relationship of communication, understanding, and cooperation bit by bit.
There was a certain tacit understanding between Khrushchev and Kennedy. They established a direct phone call between the White House and the Kremlin to increase communication time and opportunities and reduce unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings. Soviet leader Khrushchev even visited the United States in person to express the Soviet people's goodwill and reduce the hostility between the two sides.
While in the United States, Khrushchev saw that Kennedy was a healthy and energetic man. He laughed loudly and patted Kennedy on the shoulder and said: "I didn't expect that you look more beautiful than the photos in the newspaper." Younger and more energetic!”
Kennedy welcomed Khrushchev's visit. He took precious time to accompany the top leader of the red country on a tour of various states in the United States. After this, relations between the United States and the Soviet Union eased greatly. At the same time, they also launched economic and military cooperation to reduce friction between the two superpowers and avoid misfires leading to war.
Peace is what people want!
But to some people, what they did was betraying their position and communicating with the enemy. More importantly, Kennedy violated the interests of some people, including the interests of the Carpenter family.
"What? NASA is going to cooperate with the Soviet Space Agency?"
Alex was stunned when he received the news. He had never thought that Kennedy would actually propose that NASA and the Soviet Union Space Agency cooperate in researching aerospace technology. Although in a sense. This has great benefits for human development. But in this case, the company's interests will inevitably be damaged.
This is what neither Alex nor Hughes want to see. They don't want some people to easily pick the fruits from the side after they have worked hard to mature the aerospace technology and market.
only. NASA is still nominally managed by the U.S. government. If the government insists on involving the Soviets in research and development. There was nothing Alex and Hughes could do.
Fortunately, this is just an intention and the relevant plan has not been passed yet.
"We must let the government give up this idea!" Alex said with determination. His idea received strong support from Hughes, and both of them sent a large number of public relations personnel to lobby lawmakers. Let lawmakers find ways to block the passage of relevant bills or projects.
In addition, in order to curb inflation, the Kennedy administration passed a solution that required labor and companies to accept mediation. On the one hand, labor resources limited wage requirements to an amount commensurate with production growth. On the other hand, they also needed to The company is accordingly willing to hold prices steady.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Kennedy convinced steel workers to accept this non-inflationary wage solution, U.S. Steel immediately announced a price increase of $6 per ton, and other companies immediately followed suit.
Incensed by such behavior, Kennedy used the full scope of his executive powers to address difficulties with his economic plans. He put pressure on small steel companies to maintain their original prices. He also threatened to revoke government contracts with offending companies and suggested the Justice Department would decide whether the price increases violated antitrust laws.
At the same time, Kennedy mobilized media public opinion to completely expose the matter and let the American people see the face of the capitalists. Suddenly, many newspapers criticized this incident, focusing people's attention on such incidents.
Faced with intense pressure from the president and the public, U.S. Steel backed down and reversed its decision to raise prices.
Kennedy's stance aroused lasting resentment against him in the industry, and he tried to dispel suspicion by telling the public: "My father always told me that all capitalists are sons of bitches, but until now I I still don’t believe it.”
This sentence had the opposite effect, and the capitalists became more and more suspicious of him. When this sentence was made public, the stock market immediately went downhill, falling 35 points in one day and 200 points in two weeks! Wall Street blamed the disaster on a lack of confidence in the government, and capitalists grew increasingly jealous of Kennedy.
In a certain sense, the relationship between capitalists and "people superior to people" is that of tenant farmers and landlords, and the President of the United States is the landowner's boss "people superior to people". Generally speaking, landowners will not pay attention to the demands of tenants, no matter whether the tenants are their relatives or someone else. What the "human masters" pursue is freedom and freedom, rather than taking random actions to solve troubles for the capitalists.
The prerequisite for all this is that the fundamental interests of "people superior to people" will not be violated.
In fact, it doesn't matter even if President Kennedy gives the entire NASA to the Soviet Union, the "human masters" will not be bothered by such a trivial matter. The problem is that Kennedy did not know about the "Moon Demon", let alone that the "Moon Demon" was on the moon.
When Alex and Hughes stopped Kennedy's move and prevented the Soviet Space Agency from successfully cooperating with NASA, Kennedy still did not realize the mistake he had made. He also got together with black people. Everyone knew that Kennedy came to power because the support of black people played a big role. He could repay the black people after becoming president, but no one expected that Kennedy would truly side with the black people.
Some people criticized him and said: "As a politician, he takes the promises he made before taking the stage seriously. This is not a good politician!"
Especially when Martin Luther King gave his own essence and blood to Kennedy for use, allowing him to successfully transform into a werewolf, both his mentality and thinking changed a lot. Not only did Kennedy turn himself into a werewolf, he also pulled his brother Robert Kennedy over and convinced him to become a werewolf too.
In this way, the Kennedy brothers went further and further on this road!
On the surface, Martin Luther King was a leader of moderate demonstrations, shouting in public: "Nonviolent movement!" In fact, he was the leader of "Black Power", a violent organization that often promoted the use of Violence to resist worldly oppression and institutions.
Martin Luther King also privately told others: “If someone hits you, take him to his grave.”
At a demonstration action group in Atlanta, the titular chairman of "Black Power" shouted: "Black Power! It's time for us to stand up and take over the city!"
"Take over! Let's manage our city ourselves!"
"Get out of the way or we will crush you!"
These remarks were like sparks falling from gasoline, igniting a raging fire! Demonstrations turned violent, black and white police officers had serious conflicts, the order of modern society was challenged, and black neighborhoods became ungovernable zones.
In the following months, Martin Luther King made his views known to the outside world through his black power chairmanship.
Martin Luther King believed that blacks should fight for themselves rather than seek alliances with white liberals bent on exercising paternalistic control. He said: "Black people should and must fight back! Instead of using Fei Baili's methods to beg for alms!"
"Black people should develop their own cultural identity, eliminate external control over black people and achieve self-determination, instead of just demanding the superficial abolition of apartheid, which in fact is still a social order of white supremacy!"
At the same time, "Black Power" organizations advocated uniting black people into a political organization capable of controlling black ghettos, or establishing autonomous political parties in the South and eventually forming a cohesive electoral bloc. We also need to implement production cooperatives and consumer cooperatives, and take over public schools, etc.
This means that the black community is equivalent to an independent autonomous zone, scattered in various cities and towns in the United States!
These actions were condoned by the Kennedy administration, and the authorities turned a blind eye to what black people were doing. This made the influence of black power organizations greater and greater, and American society became more and more turbulent. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net
The civil rights movement in the 1960s was able to flourish not only because of the wishes of the black people at the bottom, but also because of the struggle of the upper class forces and the use of thoughtful people, which made it get out of hand.
President Kennedy was not a fool. He did this because he wanted to challenge the social order, so he used his status as a "steward" to stir up the extreme emotions of black slaves and try to redistribute benefits to the tenant farmers.
If he does a good job, the redistribution of interests will become a social trend in a few years. Even if the "landlord" comes to his senses, he, the "steward," will be unable to do anything about it. It's just that he absolutely shouldn't and shouldn't touch someone's fundamental interests.
After Alex learned that Kennedy had thoughts about NASA, he kept thinking of ways to defeat Kennedy. Finally, he planned to initiate a meeting with the Freemasons and the Illuminati as a "human master" to elaborate on the impact of aerospace technology on The role of human society, and the connection between this technology and the "Moon Demon", etc.
What he really thinks is: "Since you make me uncomfortable, then I will make it difficult for you. Even if I can't defeat you, I can still make you uncomfortable for a long time." (To be continued...)
