Reality with Bruce de Torres 46 Monika Wiesak
Monika Wiesak is the author of two books: AMERICA'S LAST PRESIDENT: What the World Lost When It Lost John F. Kennedy, and MICHAEL JACKSON: The Man, the Music, the Controversy.
Seeing the general disillusionment with our political system and leadership, our media, and the censorship we’ve experienced, and where our country and the world were headed, Monika wanted to know, how did we get here? How did it get so bad?
And the most obvious place to start was JFK’s assassination. Monika really aligned with his ideological views of the world, his stance against colonialism, against imperialism, his belief in self-determination. She wanted to bring America back to that optimism and hope, that prospect of a bright future, which is the opposite of what we’ve been living through for some time now.
She wanted show Americans where our country went wrong and what we should be striving to get back to. She had been studying JFK for over a decade before she decided to write a book about him.
Medical freedom is her number one issue. With 2020’s Covid-19 and attacks on bodily autonomy, “People don’t realize how important sovereignty over your own body is. You can colonize land for profit, but you can also colonize bodies for profit.” That’s why she really connected to JFK’s anti-imperialism and his anti-colonialism and really connected to RFK Jr., for whom medical freedom is also issue Number One. She understood why standing up to anti-colonialism and corporate power is so important.
It all comes back to self-determination, over your body, over your choices. People were becoming subservient to big pharma. “We’re here because people don’t speak up about these things.” So, she decided to write about JFK, a book she’d been hoping to write in the future, but it became obvious that the lessons of his courage and policies were urgently needed now.
The reaction to her book has been heartwarming. It was a lot more than she expected. “I think people connect to JFK in such a powerful way because he was a really good person. He was really thoughtful. He was really considerate. He respected self-determination. He cared about people. He cared about the planet. There’s just a certain goodness that radiates from him that I think the mainstream media has tried to hide for many decades by writing slanderous stories about him, trying to bring down his character.”
“I think people gravitate to the real JFK and I think that’s why the reaction to my book has been so positive because people realize, that’s who he was and that’s who they like, who he really was. He’s a really admirable, inspiring figure.”
Monika recently put up an X.com account, x.com/monikawiesak, to post clips of JFK speaking, to let people hear what he had to say, which she also does in her book, quoting him extensively, to give him a space to speak.
“He said eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. The moment you stop paying attention is the moment you lose your liberty and your sovereignty. I think it’s very relevant today and to every era of history, both past and future.”
This was recorded three days before the election. The title of Monika’s book conveys her thoughts about the candidates, that neither work for the people but rather are beholden to special interests. Neither deserves to be president or is qualified or will do the job that a president should do, which is to protect the people from special interests, the president’s job according to JFK.
She likes that RFK Jr. is allegedly going to have some level of impact on the health agencies if Trump keeps his word. In 2016 he offered Kennedy a vaccine commission but dropped the idea after Pfizer contributed to his inaugural expenses.
