President John Fitzgerald
Kennedy stood on a podium
over forty years ago and
proclaimed to the world as
part of his New Frontier
that "the United States of
America will be the first
nation on earth to have a
man step foot on the moon,"
and that we as Americans
would complete this historic
endeavor by the end of the
decade. President Kennedy
added: "we choose to go to
the moon, not because it is
easy, but because it is
hard."
I,
John Joseph Kennedy proclaim
today that we have an even
more important and historic
mission ahead of us. A
mission which I call the New
Humanity. The goal of this
campaign is to restore peace
and the hopes and dreams of
people around the world.
As the
wars in Iraq, Afghanistan,
the 2004 Tsunami, Hurricane
Katrina, the devastating
earthquakes in India,
Pakistan, and other natural
and un-natural
disasters so clearly
reveled to the people of the
world, the plaintive cry of
Humanity has never been more
piercing or poignant as it
is in our world today. It is
the collective cry of tens
of millions of people around
the globe who have been
systematically silenced,
abused, displaced or
purposefully forgotten. The
dam has broken. The
floodgates have been
violently opened and the
River of Tears continues to
flow.
My
heart and soul goes out to
all the men, women and
children around the world
who have lost so much. These
brave souls have taught us
great lessons. Their plight
has left an indelible
impression on our psyche and
the human heart. Each
teardrop has been felt,
creating a ripple effect
that spills out into new
streams of consciousness and
responsibility. The world is
responding in waves of love.
This is the destiny of the
New Humanity.
The
moon shines great light onto
darkness around the globe.
She does not discriminate.
She shares her Light with
all of us effortlessly. The
moon also influences oceanic
tides, and spiritually water
represents the emotional
state of Mother Earth and
human beings. It is not by
mistake, or coincidence,
that the Earth is composed
of 70% water, just as the
human body is, too. We are
truly made in the image and
likeness of Mother Earth and
our Creator.
Therefore, symbolically the
tides of humanity have now
shifted and the New Frontier
becomes the New Humanity.
President Kennedy's dream
has been realized. In the
last 40 year his New
Frontier program, based on
the expansion of technology,
has brought the entire world
together through satellites,
computers, cell phones,
fiber optics, and deep space
travel.
We
have achieved our mission to
the moon, and now the time
has come in our history for
the moon's great reflection
to casts it's light back on
us, as we are one human race
and the Earth is our home.
Our only home. We are the
guardians of each other and
this beautiful blue planet.
There is no ownership. I
repeat, there is no
ownership!
Yes,
we have come full circle in
the fullness of time; from
President Kennedy’s New
Frontier to my global
movement for the New
Humanity.
The
truth of what has happened
in America and the world by
the hands of darkness,
shadowy men and women –
pretenders to the throne
- driven by an unprecedented
bloodthirst for power and
greed, is now being brought
to light. We know that it is
always darkest before the
dawn and we are witnessing
the dramatic effects of this
at this momentous time. Each
of us living on the planet
now have front-row seats to
this spectacular
transformation. It is a
spiritual transformation
manifesting in all aspects
of our lives and each of us,
Peacemakers, you and I, must
do our part.
As
many of you may know, last
year in the eleventh hour of
the 2004 United States
Presidential election, I was
asked by the people of
America to run for President
of the United States. I
answered the call. My
platform and campaign was,
and is, based on Peace,
Humanitarian and
Environmental issues, as
well as Economic, Civil
Rights, Our Rights to
Privacy, especially our
personal privacy rights,
including putting an end to
being searched like common
criminal at every airport in
America and stalked by
cameras and satellites in
our very cars.
My
campaign also called for an
end to election fraud in the
United States. I was one of
100 notable Americans
honored to sign the petition
to investigate the last 2
fraudulent elections, to
demand a receipt every time
we vote, and to
revolutionize the voting
system with Internet and
toll-free voting.
I was
one of 100 notable Americans
who signed the petition
calling for an independent
investigation into what
really happened on September
11th. A honour and
responsibility I share with
many of the families of the
victims of that horrible and
calculated day in our
history.
My
campaign also called for the
strictest National Security,
a Department of Peace,
Universal Health Care,
Better jobs, better wages,
Education, the safety and
well being of our Children,
restoring the "American
Dream" through true American
Ingenuity and
Entrepreneurship, and
repairing International
Relations, and making them
stronger in the Spirit of
global Peace and Harmony.
Harmony is the pathway to
Peace and universal Harmony
blends world religions,
faiths, cultures and
political ideologies
together.
The
New Humanity embraces this
and so much more.
I have
been asked to officially run
in the 2008 election.
However, in the meantime I
am launching my worldwide
humanitarian and
environmental campaign, the
New Humanity. Time will not
stand still and all our
voices must be heard. The
degradation of the human
spirit and destruction to
our global environment must
stop now!
Every
dark, shadowy person
responsible for theses
murderous rampages and
assaults on humanity,
directly or indirectly, will
be held accountable, and
brought to Divine Justice.
Including those responsible
for the murder of my beloved
sister, Cecilia Madeline
Kennedy. Cecilia gave her
life in the name of Truth,
Peace and International
Justice, so others could be
free.
Cecilia freed many Americans
falsely imprisoned in
Bangkok, Thailand, including
my little brother,
Christopher Patrick Kennedy.
She died at the age of only
32 at the five-star Shangri'
la hotel in Bangkok in 1997
after fighting for four
arduous years to prove my
brother's innocence. She
single-handedly spearheaded
his International defense
team and took his case to
the Supreme Court of
Thailand. And won!
His life sentence
without parole was reduced
to nine years.
Cecilia also initiated and
worked tirelessly to insure
the Extradition Treaty
between the United States
and Thailand was ratified.
Shortly before her death,
this was accomplished. And
weeks after her death, nine
Americans were finally set
free.
Cecilia was the epitome of
uncommon
grace-under-pressure. She
was a young, beautiful,
loving single girl living in
San Francisco, working as a
legal secretary and studying
Broadcast Journalism at
Stanford, University - her
whole life was ahead of her
- before she was called to
this mission of mercy on
behalf of our brother. She
was only 26-years old when
her odyssey began. Some
would call it her destiny.
Cecilia proves to all of us
that one person can, and
did, make a difference
in this world and gave her
life for a noble cause.
She
stepped out of her comfort
zone, as all of us must
do when we are called to
make a difference; to
right a wrong, to be
a voice against hatred,
violence, corruption and
oppression. This is the
true
measure of a human
being. This is the true
measure of
courage. The true
measure of
greatness. And above all,
the true
measure of unconditional
love; to give your life
for another as Cecilia so
bravely did.
And in
the end, she opened the
doors of freedom for our
brother and many others whom
were cruely subjected to
man's inhumanity to man in
one of the most barbaric and
inhumane prisons in the
world. While those in the
highest offices of our own
government, including one of
our disgraced cousins,
conspired to bring her down
for exposing the Truth, all
for vainglorious power and
greed.
I am
proud to call her my sister
and one of the best friends
I had on earth. Cecilia was
a gift to our family,
America and the world and
her courageous story will
soon be told.

If the
people of America and the
world truly want Truth,
Peace and Justice and a
better world, then I am
ready, willing and prepared
to stand up again to fight
for these ideals as my
sister and forefathers so
bravely did. My family is
descended from ancient
French Royalty and I am a
member of the founding
Kennedy family in American
politics, the acclaimed
Kennedy's of Charleston,
S.C.
My
family immigrated to America
seven generations ago from
our ancestral homes of
Tipperary, Ireland, Paris,
France and Caracas,
Venezuela, and settled in
Charleston, South Carolina.
We are the "Southern
Kennedys". President
Kennedy's side of the family
are distant cousins and came
to American two generations
after our family arrived.
I am
the great-great grandson of
John D'Arcy Kennedy (Ancient
French House of D'Arcy -
meaning of the arc),
of direct royal decent to
King Charlemagne, Emperor of
the Holy Roman Empire.
The
young French martyr, Joan
d'Arc was also from a branch
of the D'Arcy bloodline.
I am
the great grandson of South
Carolina statesman,
Congressman Michael Francis
Kennedy, Sr. My great
grandfather was the first of
the Kennedy bloodline to
serve our country in
American politics, and did
so with distinction for two
terms in South Carolina's
House of Representatives
from 1882-1886.
Furthermore, three of our
D'Arcy ancestors,
Robert
D'Arcy, Norman D'Arcy and
Thomas D'Arcy
were
major feudal barons and
enforced the Magna Carta
against King John of England
on June 15, 1215 at
Runnymead. They were present
at the signing of the Magna
Carta; a Latin term meaning
"Great Charter", or
literally "Great Paper".
The
preamble to the Magna Carta,
written by King John,
states:
JOHN, by the grace of God,
King of England, Lord of
Ireland, Duke of Normandy
and Aquitaine, and Count of
Anjou, to the archbishop,
bishops, abbots, earls,
barons, justiciaries,
foresters, sheriffs,
stewards, servants, and to
all his bailiffs and liege
subjects, greetings.
Know that, having regard to
God and for the salvation of
our soul, and those of all
our ancestors and heirs, and
unto the honor of God and
the advancement of his holy
Church and for the
rectifying of our realm, we
have granted as underwritten
by advice of our venerable
fathers.....
1.
In the first place we have
granted to God, and by this
our present charter
confirmed for us and our
heirs forever that the
English Church shall be
free, and shall have her
rights entire, and her
liberties inviolate; and we
will that it be thus
observed; which is apparent
from this that the freedom
of elections, which is
reckoned most important and
very essential to the
English Church, we, of our
pure and unconstrained will,
did grant, and did by our
charter confirm and did
obtain the ratification of
the same from our lord, Pope
Innocent III, before the
quarrel arose between us and
our barons: and this we will
observe, and our will is
that it be observed in good
faith by our heirs forever.
We have also granted to all
freemen of our kingdom, for
us and our heirs forever,
all the underwritten
liberties, to be had and
held by them and their
heirs, of us and our heirs
forever.
The
Magna Carta has withstood
the test of time for
international laws and
democracy. It is the
percursor to our American
Constitution.
Thomas
Jefferson wrote about the
impact of the Magna Carta on
our Declaration of
Independence:
"I
did not consider it any part
of my charge to invent new
Ideas, but to place before
mankind the common sense of
the subject, in terms so
plain and firm as to command
their assent. It
(Declaration of
Independence) was intended
to be an expression of the
American mind."
And
may we never forget the
opening words of the
Declaration of Independence:
WHEN in the Course of human
events, it becomes necessary
for one people to dissolve
the political bands which
have connected them with
another, and to assume among
the powers of the earth, the
separate and equal station
to which the Laws of Nature
and of Nature's God entitle
them, a decent respect to
the opinions of mankind
requires that they should
declare the causes which
impel them to the
separation.
We
hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men
are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the
pursuit of Happiness. That
to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted
among Men, deriving their
just powers from the consent
of the governed, That
whenever any Form of
Government becomes
destructive of these ends,
it is the Right of the
People to alter or to
abolish it, and to institute
new Government, laying its
foundation on such
principles and organizing
its powers in such form, as
to them shall seem most
likely to effect their
Safety and Happiness.
July
4, 1776 became the most
important and historic day
in America's history. And
history always repeats
itself. Today it is crying
out for each of us to
reclaim what is already
rightfully ours.
It is
from this noble bloodline
and ancestry that I know in
my heart I have been singled
out to lead our great nation
back to the honor and glory
that all of us as Americans
and citizens of the world
are bound, to stand up for
the Constitutional Rights of
all Americans, as well as
defend the very laws that my
ancestors fought for, and
successfully initiated over
800 years ago.
I
share my family heritage
with you because, yes, I am
proud of it, as each of you
should be about your family
and heritage, because we
are all royal human beings!
But more importantly, I
share it with you to
illustrate the very personal
sense of duty and
responsibility I feel to do
my part at this momentous
time in our history. To
shift the course of humanity
in the right direction and
uplift the consciousness of
mankind, as my loved ones
who came before me so
effectively did.
I had
to ask myself: How can I
thank them, those whom have
come before me and paved the
path for a better humanity?
Those whom courageously set
the standard? Those who
walked-the-walk on that long
and never-ending road
towards peace and justice
for all mankind?
My
answer is simple. I thank
them by standing before you
today/tonight and honouring
them and their courage.
So,
you see, my destiny has been
passed down through the
ages. It is in my blood. It
is in my DNA. It is in my
sacred familial geometry.
But above all, it is in my
heart. A love and passion I
feel for humanity. A love
and commitment I feel to do
my part for the highest good
of ALL people around the
world.....the highest good
of all life. For if we are
all one, how can we be
separate?
What
is the New Humanity, you
ask?
First
of all, it is a global
movement of Peace, Love and
Compassion. It is a state of
consciousness. It's a state
of be-ing.
It's a journey, a new
beginning! It's a brand new
uncharted course, a pristine
white canvas for each of us,
individually and
collectively, to create the
life we were intended to
live; the unique purpose for
which each of us were born.
The
New Humanity is a
celebration of life. It is
life-giving. It is not about
unnecessary war, death or
destruction.....it's
about humanity!
It is
not about which political
party you subscribe too....it's
about humanity!
It is
not about the color of your
skin or your nationality....it's
about humanity!
It's
not about which religion you
belong to, or chose not to
belong to, as that is your
very personal business,
your soul's journey....it's
about humanity!
To me,
God is love. Love does not
discriminate, either. God
loves us all!
The
New Humanity is the high
road bridging all counties
and cultures. It is the road
of peace, prosperity,
respect for human life and
all sentient beings.
If you
turn on any television or
radio today, you are
witnessing the denouement of
the old paradigm exploding
on its angry, maddening
self. The House of
Cards is imploding, not
unlike the twin towers of
the World Trade Center.
As far
as I'm concerned, this
trillion dollar campaign,
using our hard-earned money,
to promote hatred and
violence, and more hatred
and violence, is old news!
It's 15 minutes of fame are
over. Gloom and doom has had
it's day. And the contrast
of the New Humanity is
exquisite.
Gloom
and doom is not my script,
nor America's script. Sadly,
this is the script of a few
very disturbed and dark
souls who have lured the
American people and the
world into what I call a
global nightmare. But the
dream, the real dream lives
on in you and me.
Imagine what it took for me
- just one private citizen -
to stand up in the eleventh
hour and run for President
because I said, "enough is
enough!"
I said "your nightmare is
not mine, and this does
not reflect the True
Spirit of America, the
benevolent Spirit of
America!"
I
believe in the goodness of
mankind, and carry the hopes
and dreams of the American
people.
In
early 2004 I was sitting
right where you are now, a
private citizen, a
spectator to world
events. Ponder this for a
moment. Imagine what it
would take for you to run
for President? You see, it
was not easy, it is not
easy. It's a daunting task
to do this as you can
imagine. But it was the
right thing to do. Like
Cecilia Kennedy, I too,
stepped out of my comfort
zone, and today I call on
each of you to do the same.
Some
call it the Impossible
Dream, but this is my
dream for myself, my family,
America and the citizens of
the world. And with the
grace of God, I know that
all things are possible.
WE are
God. Humanity is God
manifested in individual
parts - united we stand -
divided we fall. We are here
as the leaders of Peace to
unite Humanity. One person
connected is worth more than
a million people
disconnected.
It is
our responsibility as
Ambassadors of Peace,
Ambassadors of the New
Humanity to first find peace
within ourselves. We cannot
give away something we do
not have. It is important
that we are strong and
nurtured.
What
does Peace look and feel
like, we must ask ourselves?
The
dictionary describes "Peace"
as: a state of tranquillity
or quiet: as freedom from
civil disturbance, a state
of security or order within
a community provided for by
law or custom. It is
described as freedom from
disquieting or oppressive
thoughts or emotions,
harmony in personal
relations, a state or period
of mutual concord between
governments and a pact or
agreement to end hostilities
between those who have been
at war or in a state of
enmity.
Hatred
and violence is borne in the
human heart and fostered in
the mind, just as peace is.
It's a choice. It's a choice
for each of us to choose.
Each of you present here
today, I hope, have chosen
the road of Peace. Peace is
not passive. It requires
action-steps.
So I
must ask each of you: What
will YOU do with YOUR new
life? What will YOU do with
your special gifts and
talents? What will YOU do
for the New Humanity? What
will YOU do for Truth and
Peace?
Will
YOU step out of YOUR comfort
zone and courageously live
the life you were intended?
Will YOU allow YOUR heart to
sing? Will YOU answer the
call, against all odds?
I am
reminded of a profound and
famous quote:
Our
greatest glory comes, not in
never falling, but in rising
every time we fall.
Peace
is also expressed through
friendships. I extend my
hand to each of you in love
and friendship. Theses are
troubling times for all of
us, but our thoughts, words,
good wishes and prayers
unite us all in love and
friendship. The true Spirit
of Peace.
Beginning today, as we map
the New Humanity, we must
use out good minds to focus
on good. To focus on love.
To focus on that which is
life-giving. Focus on
beauty, all things
beautiful: the laughter of a
child, a smile from a
stranger, the rich diversity
of people and cultures
around the world, our
families and loved ones, the
oceans and the endless and
immeasurable beauty of
nature.
We
must focus on the joy of
life, the joie de vivre.
We must focus on our hopes
and dreams, and the new
dreams we are dreaming
today. The dreams for
ourselves, and our children,
and our children's children.
The benefactors of the New
Humanity.
As you
leave this gathering
today/tonight, and carry
within your hearts and minds
your own personal feelings
and vision of Peace for the
New Humanity, be aware that
you are carrying a powerful
vibration of love out into
the world.
Individually, and
collectively, we are
creating a global, expansive
rippling effect that spreads
out far and wide to touch
the hearts and souls of all
mankind, especially to those
who still harbor the
illusion of war, hatred,
violence and separation.
I call
on every citizen, in every
nation, to join us as
Ambassadors of Peace, as
Ambassadors of the New
Humanity. We cannot do it
alone. This is a shared
destiny. Each citizen is
responsible for his or her
own Truth and discernment,
as each soul is responsible
for it's own purification.
In
conclusion, we choose to
embrace and love one
another, and protect our
beautiful, magnificent
planet, not because it is
easy, or because it is hard.
We do this because it is the
Divine Right Thing to do!
Martin
Luther King Jr., once said:
"We must learn to live
together as brothers, or
perish together as fools."
I
congratulate each of you for
your commitment to Peace and
thank you for the honor of
being invited to share my
vision for Peace and a New
Humanity. I am with you
always in the Spirit of
Peace and Universal Harmony.
Our hearts are connected as
ONE, sharing a common goal.
A goal of Peace on Earth,
Goodwill towards All.
From
the stillness within all of
us we hear these words: "May
we no longer walk in fear,
one against the other, but
beside one another in
Harmony as an expansion of
all that is, in this
Universe. This is the
only destiny. There is
no other. Peace and Harmony
is the abiding Truth of all
beings on this planet. We
are all here to assist in
this, through our actions,
words and deeds."
So my
friends, my fellow
Peacemakers, my brothers and
sisters, our precious and
sacred children around the
world, I welcome you - with
open arms - into the Heart
of the New Humanity.
Thank you & Godspeed!
John Joseph Kennedy

Humanity
