I have often written and stated that one of the primary and foremost reasons for the execution of President Kennedy in Dallas on November 22nd, 1963 was to stop him from delivering a speech that was planned at The Dallas Trade Mart for 1 p.m. CST .

This is the speech that President Kennedy would have given at the Dallas Trade Mart if he had been allowed to live.

What follows is a transcript of that speech:

My fellow Americans … People of the world!

Today we set forth on a journey into a new era.

One age, the childhood of mankind is ending and another age is about to begin.

The journey of which I speak, is full of unknowable challenges, but I believe that all of our yesterdays, all of the struggles of the past have uniquely prepared our generation to prevail.

Citizens of this Earth we are not alone.

God in His infinite wisdom has seen fit to populate His universe with other beings, intelligent creatures such as ourselves.

How can I state this with such authority?

In the year 1947, our military forces recovered from the drying New Mexico desert the remains of an aircraft of unknown origin.

Science soon determined that this vehicle came from the far reaches of space.

Since that time our government has made contact with the creators of this spacecraft.

Although this news may sound fantastic, and indeed terrifying, I ask you not to greet it with undue fear or pessimism; I assure you as your president that these beings mean us no harm.

Rather they promise to help our nation overcome the common enemies of all
mankind, tyranny, poverty, disease, and war.

We have determined that they are not foes, but friends.

Together with them we can create a better world.

I cannot tell you that there will not be any stumbling or missteps along the road ahead, but I believe that we have found the true destiny of the people of this great land to lead the world into a glorious future.

In the coming days, weeks, and months, you will learn more about these visitors, why they are here, and why our leaders have kept their presence a secret from you for so long.

I ask you to look to the future not with timidity but with courage, because we can achieve in our time the ancient vision of peace on earth and prosperity for all humankind.

God bless you.

John F. Kennedy

November 22nd, 1963
