FREE Zoom Event   Wed. Jan. 15, 2025   3:00 – 4:30 pm Eastern

RSVP at Valediction.net/eventlist and join us to discuss Peace* and Economic Justice.*

“What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children–not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women–not merely peace in our time but peace for all time.” -PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY, American University, June 10, 1963

Economic justice is possible by recognizing that “The Earth Belongs to Everyone.” That is what Henry George, 19th Century American, acknowledged with his ideas about land value taxation. Communities prosper when they are used.

–PAUL FITZGERALD’S HEALING WORDS

We first came to Dallas a year ago to deliver a speech on the thousand-year background of JFK’s Fitzgerald family. The Fitzgerald family history and its importance to JFK’s death is unknown to Americans. So is the genocide that was conjured against them by the government of Queen Elizabeth I back in the 16th century based on the war of light against dark with the Fitzgeralds demonized as the ultimate evil.

I use the word conjured because it was a powerful spell cooked up by Elizabeth’s magician/courtiers to eradicate a family who had – in the words of the 1586 edition of Holinshed’s Chronicles; shewed themselves open enemies, traitors and rebels, using all manner of hostilities and outrages to the impeach of hir most sacred majestie.”

JFK’s Fitzgerald ancestors in the Southwest of Ireland – a place known as Desmond – had challenged a sacred, astral hierarchy intended to establish a Universal World Order ruled by Queen Elizabeth and were doomed by God himself to pay for it with their own blood, to the utter destruction of themselves and that whole familie.

I’d found that passage buried inside Holinshed’s long forgotten book before coming to Dallas last year. But when I visited Dealey Plaza it struck me that the curse delivered upon the Fitzgeralds was still alive four hundred years later – and it needed to be lifted. The empire created by Elizabeth’s magicians, philosophers and spies came to rule much of the earth for four centuries by hook and by crook.

Their vision of a universal empire promising a golden age of heaven on earth – never materialized – but the goal of the Desmond Fitzgeralds for peace and sovereignty remained constant through JFK’s lifetime.

In 1961 President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was granted a Coat of Arms by the Irish government based on his lineal descent from the FitzGeralds of Desmond. But like his Desmond ancestors that grant came with an obligation to sacrifice and as part of that sacrifice came a trip to Dallas.

November 22 will always be etched into my memory in black and white images. But something unusual happened when we were leaving Dallas and entered Love Field. And when we began to think about it after arriving home, the importance of Love Field as a powerful force for change began to reveal itself.

Thanks to his maternal grandfather John Francis Fitzgerald JFK had been made aware of his family’s roots going back to the foundation of the British Empire. The Fitzgeralds got off to a bad start with King Henry II after conquering Ireland in 1170.

When Henry’s governor first arrived in 1176 he spoke to his own men saying “I will soon put an end to this arrogance and disperse those shields.”

Over the next two hundred years relations wavered back and forth as the power and influence of Desmond grew and the Fitzgeralds took on Irish ways and Irish wives. In response in 1366 the crown enacted a series of laws against marrying the Irish and accused the Fitzgeralds of creating a race of their own.

Having been put under the spell of Irish women when they first arrived – this order from London had the opposite effect – and by the time of Queen Elizabeth I, their fate was sealed.

Gerald FitzGerald the Third Earl of Desmond born in 1338 and affectionately known in Gaelic as Gearóid Iarla (Earl Gerald) became the inspiration for a growing mythology surrounding the Fitzgerald family and especially their love for Irish women who’d made for them a place to call Ireland home.

Gearóid was highly regarded as a poet and in response to the pressure coming from London composed a poem about his favorite subject – Irish women.

Speak not ill of womankind,

‘Tis no wisdom if you do.

You that fault in women find,

I would not be praised of you.

Sweetly speaking, witty, clear,

Tribe most lovely to my mind,

Blame of such I hate to hear.

Speak not ill of womankind.

Bloody treason, murderous act,

Not by women were designed,

Bells o’erthrown nor churches sacked,

Speak not ill of womankind.

Bishop, King upon his throne,

Primate skilled to loose and bind,

Sprung of women every one!

Speak not ill of womankind.

Paunchy greybeards never more

Hope to please a woman’s mind.

Poor young chieftains they adore!

Speak not ill of womankind.

If there is one thing that I share with JFK as a member of the Desmond clan it’s that I needed the right woman to help me end this war of light and dark. This occurred in 1970 when I came under the spell of my own Elizabeth and fifty-four years later we have come together at Love Field to lift the darkness from the men and women of Dallas and break the spell that was brought on by the assassination. This process will begin the healing of our nation by transforming warriors passionately committed to war into warriors just as passionately committed to peace.

–ELIZABETH GOULD’S HEALING WORDS

My first step towards meeting Paul came when I accepted an invitation from a friend to the opening of the Boston production of HAIR in 1970. When I saw Paul singing for the first time on stage I felt instinctively this was a man who knew himself and I would like to meet him.

As I waited back stage for my friends following the performance we made eye contact as Paul walked by. That was my first experience sensing a quality of presence coming from Paul to me. I could not name it until years later when a song from the musical Camelot titled C’est Moi, which means it’s me, came up on Paul’s play list one evening.

Back then JFK’s administration was referred to as Camelot. I didn’t know what that meant but as I listened carefully to the lyrics – the Fitzgerald legacy began to make sense. It sounded an awful lot like the claims made by the King of France in 1655 when he declared to parliament “the state, it’s me” to reassert his primacy through the royal blood line over the government.

This goes back to the origin of the Fitzgerald family and their battle with the Elizabethans. It revealed to me the reality of what it would mean to marry into that lineage.

By the time Paul asked me to marry him seven years after we met I was ready to be a part of that mission. It’s been an amazing journey. Suffice it to say, it all began with our first encounter through HAIR.  To end our ceremony today we would like everyone to sing Flesh Failures/Let the Sun Shine In along with Paul.

It’s the finale song that inspired our generation to keep believing we could end the Vietnam War and bring forth the peace. We are bringing it back today to reignite the power we felt back then not just to end the Vietnam War but all war.  It’s time to bring the peace we all deserve back to our world.

We starve, look at one another short of breath

Walking proudly in our winter coats

Wearing smells from laboratories

Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasies

Listening for the new told lies

With supreme visions of lonely tunes

Somewhere, inside something , there is a rush of greatness

Who knows what stands in front of our lives

I fashion my future on films in space

Silence tells me secretly everything, everything

Singing our space songs on a spider web sitar (CHORUS STARTS)

“Life is around you and in you”

Answer for Timothy Leary, deary

Let the sun shine

Let The sunshine in

The sun shine in

Let the sun shine

Let The sunshine in

The sun shine in

Let the sun shine

Let The sunshine in

The sun shine in

Let the sun shine

Let The sunshine in

The sun shine in

–RUTH GOULD-GOODMAN’S HEALING WORDS

I invite you to join me in a Breathing Tonal Peace Meditation to generate a unified field of peace and love as I recite my poem “Red Rose of My Heart”

There are two parts of the meditation: Inhalation and exhalation

There are two hand movements connected with the breath

1. Inhale-On inhalation our hands begin palms up to receive. We move our hands toward our heart as we continue inhaling.. At the end of the inhalation our hands arrive over our heart
2. Exhale- Palms move away from the heart to face outward into the space. As we exhale we turn our palm outward in a gesture of giving. We feel the Love and Peace we breathed into our hearts radiating from the center of our heart outward in all directions (an expanding orb).

These two gestures and intentions repeat with each inhale and each exhale

We inhale a potent peaceful unified field into our heart.  On exhalation we radiate peace and love outward from the center of our heart

As I recite the text please close your eyes as you breathe peace into your heart and then vibrate peace and love into the world around you.

Feel the words of this poem live in your heart.

Let’s create peace and love together NOW

Two breaths together as the Xylophone is played for 30 seconds

RED ROSE OF MY HEART

Tight bud of my heart

Blossom, Blossom, Blossom

Become

A beautiful Red Rose

A beautiful Red Rose

Cool velvet petals open

infusing

time and space

with Love’s Perfume

Heart flower grows

With Each breath

Scent of Heart Rose spreads

Attracts Honeybee mind Buzz

Thoughts quiet

Travels swiftly from head

Down to the temple of my heart

Mind enters love’s red flower

Blooming Heart. Blooming heart

Oh, mysterious pulsing, Beating blooming heart

Home, home, home

Heart and mind Unify as One

River of Love flows

Gardens of radiant beauty grow

Judgments quiet

Once Mind stills

Mind is crowned

Anointed

To reign

Upon the crystal throne of love

In the center of my heart

My clever silver tongue

Becomes a golden messenger

Of the pure gold of knowing

Truth and Beauty are One

The moment

My mind joins with

The Red Rose of my heart

Peace is born within

Time for the Rose of Love

To blossom within all human hearts

Peace will come on Planet Earth

When Each Human mind

Returns home to the throne of love within

Peace will come When humans

Return home to LOVE

Now is the time for Peace to be reborn

Through each human being

Let love shine from within.

Vocalize while breathing meditation continues as xylophone is played to sing JFK’s favorite song

GREEN SLEEVES

Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously.
For I have loved you well and long,
Delighting in your company.

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,

And who but my lady Greensleeves.

Your vows you’ve broken, like my heart,
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity.

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,

And who but my lady Greensleeves.

I have been ready at your hand,
To grant whatever you would crave,
I have both wagered life and land,
Your love and good-will for to have.

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,

And who but my lady Greensleeves.

If you intend thus to disdain,
It does the more enrapture me,
And even so, I still remain
A lover in captivity.

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady Greensleeves.

–RUTHANN STARKEY-SHIPLEY READS JFK’S FAVORITE POEM

I have a rendezvous with death by Alan Seeger

I have a rendezvous with Death

At some disputed barricade,

When Spring comes back with rustling shade

And apple-blossoms fill the air—

I have a rendezvous with Death

When Spring brings back blue days and fair.

It may be he shall take my hand

And lead me into his dark land

And close my eyes and quench my breath—

It may be I shall pass him still.

I have a rendezvous with Death

On some scarred slope of battered hill,

When Spring comes round again this year

And the first meadow-flowers appear.

God knows ’twere better to be deep

Pillowed in silk and scented down,

Where Love throbs out in blissful sleep,

Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,

Where hushed awakenings are dear …

But I’ve a rendezvous with Death

At midnight in some flaming town,

When Spring trips north again this year,

And I to my pledged word am true,

I shall not fail that rendezvous.

PART I How we discovered the deep truth behind JFK’s assassination through the magic of Love Field Airport 

After sixty one years of asking “who’s to blame,” it’s time for all Americans to come together with the citizens of Dallas to break the spell that keeps us from the bright future we want and deserve. We’ve come to a profound understanding of how the resurrection of JFK’S spirit of peace through the magic of Love Field will fulfill that goal.

On looking back to what drew our attention to Love Field in 2023 we were reminded of our own choices made in 1981 and how the path we chose to get here was inspired by JFK’s favorite poet Robert Frost in his poem A Road Not Taken.

That year we became the first American journalists to gain access to Afghanistan following the expulsion of all western media after the 1979 Soviet invasion. Getting the first Visa to enter Kabul with a film crew for CBS News was a big SCOOP after a blackout of 18 months. But we never imagined back then that touching the ground of Afghanistan would lead us to Love Field and the deep truth about the JFK assassination forty three years later. But that is exactly what happened.

After witnessing CBS’s willful misuse of our facts on Afghanistan and its transformation into propaganda we continued to challenge the mainstream narrative through ABC News and PBS and received the same results. Back then most Americans believed that freedom of the press was not only a Constitutional right but that it actually meant something. We had yet to face the truth that no matter what facts we unearthed the official narrative on Afghanistan would remain the voice of the CIA and there was little we could do to change that. Faced with that reality, we finally asked ourselves, if facts didn’t matter, what did? So in 1987 we decided to follow the Road Not Taken and started writing screenplays and by the early 1990’s had developed four.

Then in September of 1991, our 10 year old daughter Alissa told us of a dream with Paul’s deceased father – accompanied by a man who told her he was 800 years old. We already knew the Fitzgerald family had come to Ireland 800 years before as mercenaries for King Henry II and decided the dream was a mystical message. But where did it lead? After three months of researching the Fitzgerald history we saw Oliver Stone’s film, JFK, and found the clues that would unlock the meaning of our daughter’s message. Stone’s decision to include secret societies in his telling resonated with us. In our research into the 1169 Norman invasion of Ireland, largely run by the Fitzgerald family, we found motivations for why some secret societies would target JFK as retribution for past offenses. We had hoped Stone would be interested in this history but he wanted our Afghanistan story instead.

Although our three years of work with Stone did produce the Three Nights of Desmond script concept, it was never fulfilled. Thirty years in the making, we finally brought that concept to fruition in 2021 in our memoir series, Valediction Three Nights of Desmond along with Valediction Resurrection. Since then our publisher Kris Millegan has been hosting monthly Roundtable discussions based on our memoir, giving us the platform to further explore the Fitzgerald legacy.

It is through Valediction Revelation, the last of our three part memoir that the fulfillment of what Kris had inaugurated comes full circle. Our story begins in Boston at the Parker House Hotel Press Room in 1981where Paul stood at the exact spot where JFK announced his candidacy for Congress in 1946 and held his bachelor’s party in 1953. It then comes to a shocking conclusion at Love Field Airport in Dallas in 2023 following the JFK assassination conference – where Paul delivered the address on the Fitzgerald legacy.

It wasn’t until we were leaving Dallas and entered Love Field Airport for the first time that we knew what needed to happen next. Love Field represents the final moments in JFK’s life; the place where he arrived in the morning alive and left deceased that afternoon. Since this place was the location of JFK’s final destination and a mystical crossroads between heaven and earth, this location awaits our delivery of JFK’s spirit of peace.

We decided a healing ceremony at Love Field is the answer.  Once activated, we can continue to put our collective imaginations together to manifest JFK’s Spirit of peace back into all our lives where it belongs.

The kickoff campaign will be on November 22, 2024. The healing ceremony will take place at 2:30 pm CT at the Bronze Spirit of Flight Statue near the entrance to Love Field Airport. The world is welcome to join us in the ceremony from wherever you are. It will be live streamed at facebook.com/robert.millegan.

PART II    The Day After the Healing Ceremony and Beyond…

Once our November 22, 2024  healing ceremony at Dallas Love Field Airport has been completed and now we’ll activate the Economic Justice and World Peace Proposal

we’ve been writing since 2021 inspired by all the contributions  made at our RT discussions.

– Introduction

Violence begets violence, war begets more wars. These facts have been known to generations before our time and we should not have to learn this horrible truth again. Old angers and hatreds have been instilled in new generations. We cannot continue in this manner and survive as a people. We must calm down and put our minds to diffusing the crisis. Is there a solution?  Yes, there is; knowledge, understanding and the courage to resolve the problem without violence. First and foremost we must move away from the economy of war we have been living in the millennia. An economy of war creates war and eventually creates endless war. We need to move to an economy of peace and that will produce the endless peace we want. The first step is to imagine the peace we want to materialize as our future.

– Activating JFK’s Plan for World Peace

“President John F. Kennedy, Speech at American University, June 10, 1963“Our problems are manmade. Therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. Man’s reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable–and we believe they can do it again.”

JFK is continually rated as one of our greatest presidents, a testament to his ability to inspire hope, faith and courage in Americans. He asked us to take on the most important challenge of our times in 1963 by helping him to create world peace. His American University Speech laid out that plan beautifully. Resurrecting his plan for world peace is long overdue.  We the People must do it. We the People can do it! We the people will do it!  And the first step is for, We the People to imagine the peaceful future we want, starting today. Americans are in a unique position to start the building of the economy of peace and justice. Activating his plan will help bring forth the peaceful world we want out of the final chaotic stage of empire.

It was in 2022 when we realized that building peace based on JFK’s American University Speech needed Henry George’s economics of peace as the foundation to stop the cycle of endless war. Once this truth is known we will then be able to build genuine world peace.

-Marriage of Economic Justice & World Peace Will Create Heaven on Earth

Henry George’s economics advocates equal rights for all and special privileges for none. It affirms everyone’s birthright to share in the earth’s natural resources. You will be amazed at how quickly shifting taxes from earned income on wages to unearned income on land and natural resources automatically curbs land speculation and hoarding, the root causes of poverty, homelessness and war. When large landowners finally pay their fair share, it benefits everyone. Known as the Commons Rent, the riches that now flow to the few; who claim more than their fair share will be used to finance all of our public goods and services.

But most important, sharing the commons rent enables genuine affordable housing, thriving small businesses and a more localized economy. If you want to create a just, prosperous and peaceful future learning how to fairly share the Earth is the first step. The more rapidly people awaken to the power of the earth rights tax policies the faster we will build a world of peace and plenty for all.

In 1963 JFK asked us to take on the biggest challenge of our time in his American University speech by helping him create world peace. His speech laid out the plan with a clarity that is still powerful today and resurrecting it is long overdue. It is time for, We the People to come together to imagine the peaceful future we want to emerge out of this final chaotic stage of empire. With these words JFK made very clear what is at issue: Our problems are manmade. Therefore, they can be solved by man. Man’s reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable–and we believe they can do it again.

-JFK’s Peace Speech resonates with Badshah Khan’s Peace Message

Next we’ll intertwine JFK’s plan with Afghan tribal leader Bhadshah Khan’s non-violent movement. If anyone today could name an historical figure connected to the origin of non-violent resistance against oppression, it would be Gandhi who defined the idea of non-violent resistance in his struggle to free India from British colonial rule.

In 1929, a Pashtun tribal leader in Afghanistan named Bhadshah Khan became an important ally of Gandhi by inaugurating his own non-violent movement known as the Khudai-Khidmatgar, the servants of God. Khan decided to serve God by serving humanity.

Instead of focusing on British oppression first he set out to change the tolerance of revenge killing from their ancient tribal code known as Pashtunwali. Afghans had lived by the code for millennia and continue to rely on it to this day.

The strength of Kahn’s philosophy challenged more than the tribal code of Pashtunwali and the dominance of the British Empire. Khan also challenged many Western orientalists who claimed that his movement was just an aberration of a warrior culture that could never give up war. In our research into Khan’s movement we discovered his inspirational principle of turning warriors of war into warriors of peace was similar to JFK’s plan.

Kahn chose first to reform the ancient Pashtun tribal code that sanctioned killing to resolve family feuds. In his speech JFK asked Americans to first reflect on reforming their own concepts of peaceful coexistence before expecting the enemy to change.  Khan’s philosophy is expressed most beautifully in his quote: Is not the Pashtun amenable to love and reason? He will go with you to hell if you can win his heart, but you cannot force him even to go to heaven.

-The Fitzgerald Myth and History embodied in JFK’s life and Death

Next we’ll weave in the mythical stories from the Fitzgerald family’s Irish roots. Myths are the stories of human encounters with the spirit world handed down over generations. When merged with the historical record it adds a depth to both.

In our research into the Fitzgerald’s rise and fall from power—starting with the 12^th century Norman invasion of Ireland and ending four hundred years later with the beheading of the last earl of Desmond by Elizabeth I— we discovered that the age of myth lived on in Ireland well into the 20^th century. Starting with the Fitzgeralds arrival in 1169 there was an outpouring of Irish prophecies connected to the family that were already in existence.

Over time these prophecies became entwined with more of the ancient legacies such as the Grail legends from Wales and the Irish legends of the Dagda. The first myths about the Earls of Desmond began to form in the early 14^th century. Maurice Fitzgerald’s son Gerald, known as Gearoid Iarla in Gaelic, inspired the origin myth of the family that exists to this day.  Born in 1338, Gearoid succeeded to the Earldom in 1358 making him the 3rd Earl of Desmond and the leader of the most powerful Norman family in late medieval Ireland. Gearoid’s castle at Lough Gur became the center of the earldom and a home for his love to Gaelic culture.

As a respected composer of poetry, Gearoid became a leading example of the Norman lords’ willingness to embrace their own Gaelicization. More Irish than the Irish was a phrase used by historians to describe this phenomenon of total cultural assimilation.

The Fitzgeralds adopted the mythic symbolism of the Gaelic tradition by embracing Aine as their goddess of sovereignty over the land. A poet in their employ referred to Gearoid’s father, Maurice as Aine’s king and Gearoid as the son of Aine’s knight. According to folklore, Maurice was walking by the shore of Lough Gur when he saw Aine bathing and seized her cloak, which magically put her under his power, and then lay with her. Aine told Maurice she would bear him a son Gearoid Iarla whom he was to bring up. One caution she told Maurice; he was not to show surprise at anything his son did because if Gearoid’s feats were recognized as magical he would have to go with his mother into the otherworld.  Maurice did ultimately lost his son to Aine.

-Our 1970 HAIR musical experience and why it still matters today

As we move towards world peace through economic justice we will also start organizing a musical concert in Ireland modeled after the 1985 Live Aid concert for famine relief in Africa. The sponsors of Live Aid took an issue nobody cared about, put it in front of 2 billion people through music and raised $127 million. But today millions are still at risk from famine.

This exposes the truth that focusing on famine relief was never going to be a remedy for famine. Our concert will promote a genuine solution through creating an economy of peace as the foundation that will address all human-made problems and that will lead to world peace.

Our musical inspiration comes from the American Tribal Love-Rock Musical HAIR. In its time HAIR was the center of the Anti-Vietnam War Movement; delivering a riveting political and social awakening. We lived our experience with HAIR when we became a part of the Boston production in 1970. HAIR’s anti-war theme was shared by millions of Americans. Its finale song Flesh Failures Let the Sunshine In was an anthem for the peace movement that still stirs the soul today. Our effort towards peace through economic justice, dialogue and music will free us from the spell of endless war.

The concert will also help bring back the peace movement robbed from our generation by forces manipulating the Anti-Vietnam War Movement from behind the scenes. Changing the tone will re-orient people’s thinking from war to peace.

By connecting to our shared past through the land that gave birth to the Fitzgerald legacy we will be stirring  the spirit of the mythical Gearóid Iarla whom legend tells will rise from the dead at the end of time to free the Irish people from empire. Now is the time for the fulfillment of that prophecy.

The perfect setting to build a world peace consciousness through music is at the 5500 year old UNESCO World Heritage Site north of Dublin known as Newgrange.  In the Celtic calendar, August 1st was the Feast of Lughnasa in honor of the Irish god Lugh—brother of the Dagda – the chief god of the Tuatha de Dannan—And Newgrange was his home.

We were first brought into the vortex of this megalithic passage tomb on August 1, 1997 at Dublin airport when the driver of the shuttle bus posed a question after reading the name tag on our luggage. Who’s the Fitzgerald? He asked. We are our son responded. Well so am I he said.  That was the first hint that something unusual was happening.

The second hint came when Paul asked where he came from. It’s a little village on the other side of Ireland. I’m sure you’ve never heard of it. It’s called Abbeyfeale he said. That’s my grandfather’s village Paul told him and then he said   Whatever you do when you’re in Ireland, there’s one place you must go. It’s called Newgrange. It’s a 20 minute drive from where you’re headed and it is the most amazing thing you will ever see. 

It was awesome to enter this legendary site days later. It is central to pre-Christian Irish mythology having been built by the Dagda. Known as the Good Father he was a benefactor to all the people. Described as a passage grave, it was a house where the dead could pass in and out of supernatural reality into this world at will. Most of all, the concert at Newgrange will stimulate our imaginations to believe we can create the peaceful world we all dream of.

Clues about the next installment were planted. Valediction: Resurrection Part 2 probes the lineage between Paul and JFK’s family. That research yields clues to a powerful empire that was conspired against and overthrown. Surviving bloodlines are targeted, such as JFK’s November 22, 1963 assassination. While delving into his past, Paul sees the connection to his experiences in Afghanistan. Seemingly disparate subjects are linked to sinister forces in history, manipulating unwitting believers.

After sixty one years of asking “who’s to blame,” it’s time for all Americans to come together with the citizens of Dallas to break the spell that keeps us from the bright future we want and deserve. We’ve come to a profound understanding of how the resurrection of JFK’S spirit of peace through the magic of Love Field will fulfill that goal.

On looking back to what drew our attention to Love Field in 2023 we were reminded of our own choices made in 1981 and how the path we chose to get here was inspired by (JFK’s favorite poet Robert Frost) in his poem A Road Not Taken.

That year we became the first American journalists to gain access to Afghanistan following the expulsion of all western media after the 1979 Soviet invasion. Getting the first Visa to enter Kabul with a film crew for CBS News was a big SCOOP after a blackout of 18 months. But we never imagined back then that touching the ground of Afghanistan would lead us to Love Field and the deep truth about the JFK assassination forty three years later. But that is exactly what happened.

After witnessing CBS’s willful misuse of our facts on Afghanistan and its transformation into propaganda we continued to challenge the mainstream narrative through ABC News and PBS and received the same results. Back then most Americans believed that freedom of the press was not only a Constitutional right but that it actually meant something. We had yet to face the truth that no matter what facts we unearthed the official narrative on Afghanistan would remain the voice of the CIA and there was little we could do to change that. Faced with that reality, we finally asked ourselves, if facts didn’t matter, what did? So in 1987 we decided to follow the Road Not Taken and started writing screenplays and by the early 1990’s had developed four.

Then in September of 1991, our 10 year old daughter Alissa told us of a dream with Paul’s deceased father – accompanied by a man who told her he was 800 years old. We already knew the Fitzgerald family had come to Ireland 800 years before as mercenaries for King Henry II and decided the dream was a mystical message. But where did it lead? After three months of researching the Fitzgerald history we saw Oliver Stone’s film, JFK, and found the clues that would unlock the meaning of our daughter’s message. Stone’s decision to include secret societies in his telling resonated with us. In our research into the 1169 Norman invasion of Ireland, largely run by the Fitzgerald family, we found motivations for why some secret societies would target JFK as retribution for past offenses. We had hoped Stone would be interested in this history but he wanted our Afghanistan story instead.

Although our three years of work with Stone did produce the Three Nights of Desmond script concept, it was never fulfilled. Thirty years in the making, we finally brought that concept to fruition in 2021 in our memoir series, Valediction Three Nights of Desmond along with Valediction Resurrection. Since then our publisher Kris Millegan has been hosting monthly Roundtable discussions based on our memoir, giving us the platform to further explore the Fitzgerald legacy.

It is through Valediction Revelation, the last of our three part memoir that the fulfillment of what Kris had inaugurated comes full circle. Our story begins in Boston at the Parker House Hotel Press Room in 1981where Paul stood at the exact spot where JFK announced his candidacy for Congress in 1946 and held his bachelor’s party in 1953. It then comes to a shocking conclusion at Love Field Airport in Dallas in 2023 following the JFK assassination conference – where Paul delivered the address on the Fitzgerald legacy.

It wasn’t until we were leaving Dallas and entered Love Field Airport for the first time that we knew what needed to happen next. Love Field represents the final moments in JFK’s life; the place where he arrived in the morning alive and left deceased that afternoon. Since this place was the location of JFK’s final destination and a mystical crossroads between heaven and earth, this location awaits our delivery of JFK’s spirit of peace.

We decided a healing ceremony at Love Field is the answer.  Once activated, we can continue to put our collective imaginations together to manifest JFK’s Spirit of peace back into all our lives where it belongs. 

The kickoff campaign will be on November 22, 2024. The healing ceremony will take place at 2:30 pm CT at the Bronze Spirit of Flight Statue near the entrance to Love Field Airport. The world is welcome to join us in the ceremony from wherever you are.

Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould talk about the mystical power of love, how it’s been used against us, and how to reclaim it for the benefit of mankind with Publisher Kris Millegan . Listen to the interview HERE

Renaissance rulers, who used Eros love and hate as a magical way to affect people and history. Those practices were used in the ritual killing of President John F. Kennedy. Giordano Bruno, the 16th Century Italian philosopher and Dominican priest who got into a lot of trouble with the Vatican, used an Aristotelian technique, the art of memory – assigning images to concepts and events that one wanted to remember – and developed a way of using it to gain power over other people, of assigning erotic, covetous love to an image so people would help manifest what they could not resist it.He went to England and connected with John Dee (“English mathematician, astronomer, teacher, astrologer, occultist, and alchemist. He was the court astronomer and advisor to Elizabeth I, and spent much of his time on alchemy, divination, and Hermetic philosophy.” Bruno’s work with memory is similar to quantum physics. An important part of what Bruno did was giving someone a memory that he wanted them to have, an idea that he wanted them to embrace. Eros is immature love. The love of the object of your attention. If you don’t get your eros returned, it turns to hate. As opposed to agape, which is unconditional love for everything. It is stable. It allows for a range of influences to come and remains open and conscious of what’s going on around a person. Bruno’s work to manipulate people in ways they couldn’t resist is now known as psychological warfare, a way to manipulate people into the position that you want them to have. Bruno is still taught at the London School of Economics as part of their core curriculum, what he saw of the future and of the cosmos and the way we interact with it – as above, so below – part of what is referred to as the Hermetic Rituals.

All our actions in the microcosm are linked to the macrocosm, the idea being that if you can master those things in your own microcosm, you can master the macrocosm. You can take your ideas and make them global. And the creation of a simulacrum was part of this process, a simulacrum being an imitation of reality. There were probably similarities between what they were trying to do and the old religion prior to Christianity. A great appreciation of nature.The ancient structures, such as Stonehenge in England and New Grange in Ireland, correspond to the cosmos. Hundreds of such structures are in Brittany and France. Evidence of a very sophisticated cosmic culture. Taken by many to indicate a golden age where the creator was understood to work with mankind in harmony, which is what these Renaissance philosophers and magicians were trying to bring back, where the earth would harmonize with the rest of the cosmos and become one again.The Elizabethan purpose was to bring the world back to that purity, and Christian Rome was seen as a challenge to that. The Catholic Church had become the planet’s biggest landlord, causing many power struggles. Canon law WAS the law.The Fitzgeralds had been involved with this probably from the time of the Roman Empire in Italy, involved in the struggle between the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor. TrineDay’s Roundtable 33 shows a lot of the Fitzgerald history, and a lot of the history of Giordano Bruno and the beginning of what you might call a form of ritual magic. It can be viewed HERE.

Magic is just another word for persuasion. Words like “mystical” have been denigrated by those who use its power to control others. We can use these powers of persuasion, which is the purpose of Paul and Liz’s project of resurrecting JFK’s spirit of peace through the magic of Love Field on November 22, 2024. The mystical power is for everyone’s use. It will also help heal the wound to this country and the world caused by the assassination of JFK.The spiritual or the mystical is a dimension, a quality to do with the non-physical world that we interact with that has no material substance. That’s why it can’t be scientifically analyzed, which is why many in science have denigrated that whole realm. And many people are easily made afraid of it. But it’s like love. Does love not exist because you can’t capture it in a bottle? We all know that that’s absurd.That’s why we’re trying to build a practical understanding of the events that preceded the JFK assassination by a thousand years, that do in fact connect, so people can appreciate that the participants had ideas that went back a thousand years.

VALEDICTION REVELATION – PROLOGUE
By Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould

Valediction Revelation represents the last of a three part memoir of Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould which begins in Boston at the Parker House Hotel Press Room in 1981where Paul stands at the exact spot where John Fitzgerald Kennedy announced his candidacy for Congress in 1946 and held his bachelor’s party in 1953. The story then comes to a shocking conclusion at Love Field Airport in Dallas in 2023 following a conference commemorating the 60th anniversary of the JFK assassination – where Paul delivered an address on the Fitzgerald legacy. Love Field represents the final moments in JFK’s life; the place where he arrived alive and left deceased, making his final destination a mystical crossroads between heaven and earth combining the red Saltire (X) coat of arms for his Fitzgerald family with the red cross of the Knights Templar.

Red Cross of the Knights Templar

Saltire Gules of the Fitzgerald Family

Triggered by dreams and strange coincidences, Paul and Liz reveal through episodic flash backs, how they came upon clues to the imaginal dimension of the assassination and why that dimension opens a whole new meaning to JFK’s life and the pivotal role Love Field plays as the Alpha and Omega of the story.

Beginning at Dealey Plaza on the 60th anniversary of the assassination, they see how the location itself acts as a stage in a theatre of Masonic symbolism. The three shots, the triple overpass, the obelisk, Astral magic, Masonry and the symbolism of the Knights Templar all have a role to play in what is clearly a sorcerer’s ritual. And as they travel back through the thousand year history of JFK’s Fitzgerald ancestors, they uncover how their strange coincidences relate to JFK’s purpose as a prince of peace.

Clues to the nature of some kind of mysterious connecting force that causes coincidences emerge. They learn that JFK’s distant 13th century ancestor, the second Earl of Desmond, Geroid Iarla was known for his extensive use of magic and looked upon as the mythological child of an Otherworld Irish goddess. They also discover that the fourteenth and last Earl’s severed head was sent to Queen Elizabeth I as a magic talisman to inaugurate the birth of the British Empire and that his ghost is said to ride around his birth lake on a white steed every seven years waiting for his return at the end of time. They soon discover that the mysterious connecting force causing coincidence is real and has been acknowledged since ancient times and studied by the psychoanalyst Carl Jung and physicist Wolfgang Pauli as a “connecting principle outside of cause and effect.” They also discover that this same connecting force – or as others have described it the Observer Effect – is thought to be what makes magic work and had been studied by a central character in the assassination of JFK named Arthur Young, father-in-law of Ruth Paine – Marina Oswald’s guardian as “an added parameter to physics that is either a process, or drive, or force, or consciousness.”

After seeing Oliver Stone’s JFK and the revelation of assassination-conspirator David Ferrie’s involvement with the eccentric American Orthodox Catholic Church they see the connecting principle at work in JFK’s family legacy. And things get even stranger when that legacy crisscrosses into the Elizabethan underworld and its connection to a cabal of viciously anti-Catholic Neoplatonic magicians.
Known for their open misogyny, John Dee, Queen Elizabeth’s Astrologer, The Faerie Queen’s Sir Edmund Spencer, Sir Walter Raleigh her chief knight, Giordano Bruno, defrocked priest, Italian philosopher and alchemist and a cult of well-known historical figures from the 16th century emerge as magical anti-Catholic covert operatives who bear a distinct correspondence to the menagerie of anti-Catholic JFK conspirators put on trial by New Orleans District Attorney, Jim Garrison. And as these Elizabethans weave spells and summon demons to plot the demise of the Catholic Fitzgeralds, evidence of magical plotting based on geometry, astronomy, astrology and the Art of Memory reveals itself.

Motivated by hatred for Rome and inspired by the rediscovery of ancient Hermetic texts attributed to the legendary Hellenistic figure Hermes Trimegistus these Elizabethan actors seek to draw the power of the terrestrial world from Catholic Spain and deliver it to Queen Elizabeth I through the creation of a simulacrum (a thought form created by the magician to receive divine inspiration from the imaginal realm). In the words of author Dame Frances Yates, this group is driven by “The belief in the correspondence of microcosm and macrocosm, in the harmonic structure of the universe, [and] in the comprehension of God through mathematical symbols.”

According to a more recent analysis they also believe that practicing the Art of Memory by using images as talismans and creating mnemonic devices (i.e. patterns of letters, ideas or associations that enhance memory) they can implement through the creation of a simulacrum, a large-scale reformation of the universe, in which both celestial and earthly worlds would be purged and restored to original perfection.
Yates approached the subject of Hermetic Renaissance Magic with genuine seriousness and recognized early on in her groundbreaking research that it was a mistake for modern scholarship to dismiss the practice as fantasy considering that it became a guiding force in the creation of the British Empire.

Founded on the fifteenth century work of Cornelius Agrippa based on his translations of Plato, but expanded upon over the next two centuries, one prominent scholar of the philosophy – Giordano Bruno engaged in magical techniques for memorization in his 1582 book De umbris idearum, (On the Shadows of Ideas) that were so effective they led to his being burned at the stake and are still considered bordering on the supernatural.

Sympathetic magic, (the perceived connection between an object and the subject it represents) and mnemonics are the keys to understanding the Hermetic system and through Yates’ studies we are given a step by step analysis of how Queen Elizabeth’s magicians manipulated reality by literally creating a theatre of cosmic correspondences similar to what Dallas’s Dealey Plaza represents. In her book Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition she writes, “Bruno once more expounds in the first part of the De imaginum compositione his theory of the imagination as the chief instrument in religious and magical processes. Having cited Aristotle on images from sense impressions as the basis of thought, Bruno then goes right to the other extreme of the classical tradition and uses the arguments of a late Hellenistic Neoplatonist in favour of imagination… as the most powerful of the inner senses because through it the divine communicates with man.”

She then argues that Giordano Bruno had used this information to transform the art of memory from a fairly rational Aristotelian mnemonic technique using images, which theorists including Thomas Aquinas himself had used, into a magical and religious technique for training the imagination as the instrument for reaching the divine and obtaining divine powers. Although an accomplished historian and not in any way a practicing magician or mystic, Yates admits that there is no other explanation to explain Bruno’s use of the Hermetic Tradition than to influence the gods into providing him with godly favors.

She writes: “In an extraordinary passage in the De imaginum compositione, Bruno mentions the golden calf and the brazen image described in Genesis and the clay figures made by Prometheus, as all examples of the power of the simulachrum for drawing down the favour of the gods through occult analogies “whence as though linked to images and similitudes they descend and communicate themselves.” And “With the last phrase, we reach the familiar ground of the Egyptian statues, linked with demons, which Bruno has here related to the magic of Moses and Prometheus.”

Yates further describes Bruno utilizing another powerful practice where statues of the “terrestrial gods” were animated by arranging them in accordance with the principles of sympathetic astral magic, and by drawing down into them the life of the celestial gods it gave them the power of heaven as well as the power of demons.

By the time of Bruno’s arrival in London in the spring of 1583 the Fitzgerald’s war against the Elizabethans was a ghost. But that did not prevent him from teaming up with the Queen’s Astrologer John Dee – the original 007 and his boss Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth’s Secretary of State – to advance the expansion of their Neoplatonic Empire from the British Isles to the rest of the globe.

Having fought the arrival of European Neoplatonism for thirty years, the Fitzgeralds’ end comes swiftly that November when the last Earl of Desmond is beheaded while hiding from the Queen’s pursuers in the misty Slieve Mish Mountains. But Bruno’s war on orthodox Catholic philosophy and traditional Aristotelian philosophy as a whole has only begun and will continue for the next two years in London under the protection of the French Ambassador.

Adopting not only an anti-Catholic position but a radically anti-Christian one as well, Bruno deepens his experimentation with magical rituals in the art of memory and in 1584 while still in London produces a work known as De la causa, principio e uno (Cause, Principle and Unity).

In De la causa Bruno anticipates 20th century arguments on quantum physics and articulates his conviction that there is no contradiction between spirit and matter, only the perception of difference which explains coincidence as merely an illusion and can therefore be considered either a cause OR a principle. But it is in his De vinculis in genere (Of Bonds-Chains In General) where he displays exotic techniques for mental persuasion and control using Eros/Love that bear a striking similarity to the 20th century psychological experiments conducted by the CIA’s MK-Ultra.

A study by Giuseppi Borrelli titled Reflections on the De vinculis genere, by Giordano Bruno (available at academia.edu) regards De vinculis as the foundation of modern social control stating –“At Oxford University, Giordano Bruno’s brief, obscure but very profound work, De vinculis in genere, is considered a cornerstone of modern political thought – on the par with Machiavelli’s Prince. The London School of Economics [the West’s most elite school specializing in the social sciences] uses it as a core text. In fact, many European historians and intellectuals consider De vinculis in genere modernity’s most intelligent and insightful political work.”

And more specifically Borrelli states; “From Machiavelli’s brute force to Bruno’s capacity for desires and infinity. The driving mechanism is the Eros, in all its variations, and its grasp on the rational and the imaginary mind. It is imagination that conquers the political throne, not force. And so the politician becomes the clockmaker of man’s dreams and aspirations. His aim is to create, identify, channel and guide the desires that spring from man’s erotic nature.”

And in this we again cross paths with the New Orleans conspiracy surrounding JFK and his journey to death through Love Field in Dallas.
In his De vinculis Bruno writes, “Love is the bond of bonds, but of these bonds the erotic bond is supreme. All affections and bonds are reduced to two, namely aversion and desire, or hatred and love. Yet hatred is reduced to love, whence it follows that the will’s only bond is Eros.”

It would seem that for Bruno, the major connecting principle sought by 15th, 16th and 21st century magicians is the same principle sought by central figures in the JFK assassination and that principle is Eros; the quantum bonding force of hatred and love that enables magic to work.
According to another scholar who studied the ramifications of Bruno’s sixteenth century work, Professor Ioan P. Culianu, De vinculis in genere (Of bonds in general) is the template for the modern totalitarian state.

He writes: “De vinculis in genere by Giordano Bruno is one of those little-known works whose importance in the history of ideas far outstrips that of more famous ones. In its frankness, indeed the cynicism of the analysis of its contents, it might be compared to Machiavelli’s The Prince, especially as the subject matter of the two works is connected: Bruno deals with psychological manipulation in general, Machiavelli with political manipulation. But how colorless and ridiculous the Machiavellian prince-adventurer now seems, compared to Bruno’s magician-psychologist! Unpublished until late, little read and always misunderstood, De vinculis in genere is nevertheless the written work that deserves to have the real and unique place of honor among theories of manipulation of the masses. Without being aware of it, the brain-trusts that dominate the world have been inspired by it, have put Bruno’s own ideas to practical use.”

And so there we have it in quotes according to a University of Chicago professor. “The magician of De vinculis is the prototype of the impersonal systems of mass media, indirect censorship, global manipulation, and the brain trusts that exercise their occult control over the Western masses.”

Defined by Plato as “Heavenly Eros”, the bonding force of “Love” employed in the act of social manipulation through propaganda is both egocentric and acquisitive and by nature selfish. Bruno excels in his use of Eros as the secret force – the connecting link outside of cause and effect to make magic work and manipulate the masses into believing whatever the magician instructs them to believe. And it is through the magical metaphor of Love Field that it finds a final correspondence with the events of November 22, 1963.

By substituting the authentic leadership of the Irish people with the simulacrum of Queen Elizabeth in his epic Poem The Faerie Queene, Edmund Spencer was able to transform the 16th century Fitzgeralds – in the popular mind – into an allegory of terrestrial Catholic evil. But by sealing that mental image through magical and numerical correspondences with the ritual sacrifice of the last earl of Desmond, Rome’s mystical and terrestrial authority could be enchained and defeated.

That method is seen again in Dallas, as a hidden Intelligence/secret society/priesthood employing the ancient art of sympathetic magic, removed JFK from terrestrial power through a ceremonial execution in an open air Temple to Isis and Osiris in Dealey Plaza and then enchained his power in the bond of bonds through the selfish, possessive power of Eros at Love Field.

To paraphrase Michael Hoffman II in his book Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare “Sir James Frazer, [Britain’s most famous anthropologist] explained in his in depth study of ancient rights and rituals The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion, that when the “divine king” is murdered by one who is himself stronger or shrewder, the divine powers of the king are “Sympathetically” and “Contagiously” transferred from the vanquished to the victor. In the case of the beloved JFK, this shocking transfer of power into the subconscious “Dreaming” Mind of the American people created a new simulacrum by introducing a diametrically different, new “reality” and represented a classic scenario of alchemical programming.

In studying Bruno and his methods it soon becomes clear that his use of ancient techniques is the foundation not just for the anti-Fitzgerald Elizabethan campaign but is also the model for the assassination campaign targeting JFK. But if the death of JFK and the end of his vision of a peaceful world and the ascension of the human spirit could be accomplished in accordance with the philosophy of sympathetic astral magic, is it not possible that this tragedy may be undone by using a more powerful method?

For those who champion the conspiracy theories surrounding the JFK assassination, to offer a philosophical solution may not be enough, but if the murder of JFK and all others like him have been made possible by a philosophy of Erotic Love then perhaps another philosophy of Love can provide the answer and that philosophy has been recognized for millennia as Agape.

As the opposite of Eros in which we love others out of self-interest in order to acquire and possess the object of our love, Agape is based on the unconditional and unselfish love of self-giving and self-sacrifice. And since JFK has already made the ultimate self-sacrifice by giving up his life then an appeal for the return of the spirit of JFK through the power of Agape at Love Field may make something possible that has never been tried before.

The last earl of Desmond was slain in 1583 while fighting to the bitter end for Irish Sovereignty. Even with that devastating blow to the cause, the affection for the Fitzgerald family continued to grow. As the president of the United States John Fitzgerald Kennedy rose to the level of his great ancestor and won the affection of the American people. When he was killed his dream for peace was killed as well. But if we who believe in his vision can come together through the all-embracing power of Agape we can resurrect JFK’s dream for America and restore the hope that was lost with his death.

In 1926 a folklorist recorded among the peasants of Kerry a curious belief: If on a dark night in November, in the glen below Lough Gur—the birthplace of the magical Earl Geroid Iarla [And JFK’s Great Grandfather Thomas Fitzgerald in 1823]—a peasant should be given the sight, he will see a company of silver horsemen risen from the lake and galloping through the night. At their head rides the Great Earl Gerald himself, garbed in silver brocade and astride a mighty white horse, the Earl will laugh and throw him a gorgeous purse in which will be found 1000 silver pieces, the price paid for his head and when the vision is gone the money will remain. It is clear by the state of today’s world that the Earl and his phantom soldiers are needed more than ever to rise from Lough Gur and free JFK’s enchained spirit from Love Field to return to the American people at our time of greatest need.

AFTER SIXTY ONE YEARS OF ASKING “WHO’S TO BLAME,” IT’S TIME FOR THE CITIZENS OF DALLAS AND ALL AMERICANS TO COME TOGETHER IN A MOST POSITIVE WAY; TO RESURRECT JFK’S SPIRIT OF PEACE THROUGH THE MAGIC OF LOVE FIELD. THE KICKOFF STARTS AT THE AIRPORT IN DALLAS NOVEMBER 22, 2024. THE HEALING CEREMONY WILL TAKE PLACE AT 2:30 PM CT. THE WORLD IS WELCOME TO JOIN.
