Money trumps peace now.

This means people have a license to kill and make war, as long as it makes enough money.

"Enough" meaning somebody in authority who could do something about it gets a sufficiently big piece of the pie.

thanks for remembering ...



This is JFK's campaign book, released in 1960, compiling foreign policy positions set forth in speeches delivered in the Senate and at whistlestops all over the US including San Juan, Puerto Rico "at a Democratic dinner" on Dec. 15, 1958, and Riverside, CA, where he gave a speech on India and China on Nov. 1, 1959 (pp. 177-79). Quote from The Strategy Of Peace posted on goodreads:

“World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbor—it requires only that they live together in mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement. And history teaches us that enmities between nations, as between individuals, do not last forever . . .”
