Topic: John F Kennedy Assassination

A classic 40-second segment from comedian George Carlin explores the pattern of who gets assassinated in American history. Carlin observed that targets are typically individuals who advocate for peace and harmony, such as Jesus, Gandhi, Lincoln, and Martin Luther King Jr. The excerpt highlights Carlin's cynical view that society is "not ready" for leaders who tell people to live together peacefully.

The passing of former President George H.W. Bush dominated the news cycle over the weekend, coinciding with the G20 summit. Critics argue that mainstream media coverage is focused on hagiography while ignoring controversial aspects of his career, such as his involvement in Iran-Contra and his presence in Dallas during the Kennedy assassination.
