Three prescient observers, James W. Douglas, Jacob G. Hornberger and Mikhail Gorbachev, have pointed out the seminal importance of President John F. Kennedy’s 1963 American University Commencement Address delivered fifty one years ago today. It was the speech which cost him his life.
JFK Assassination researcher William Kelly observed:
“When Mikhail Gorbachev visited Dallas in 1998 he stopped by Dealey Plaza and at the Sixth Floor Museum he called attention to the American University Commencement Address when he wrote into the guest book”:
2:09 pm on June 10, 2015I’ve long been interested in the life of John F. Kennedy. He was certainly a great president of the United States. For us who live in a complicated time of transition of great importance is the vision of John F. Kennedy, his thoughts about peace and about how to live in the world.
President Kennedy’s remarks on June 10, 1963 at American University are of even greater importance today than then. Thirty five years ago he already saw what we have come to understand only now.
The best memory of this man would be to understand his deeds and thoughts and to translate them in policies and more importance in the life of nations. He looked far ahead and he wanted to change a great deal. Perhaps it is this that is the key to the mystery of the death of President John Kennedy.

The President of the USSR
