Kurginyan: Trump can be understood better by recalling Kennedy and von Braun

17.03.2025, Moscow.

In order to understand the logic of US President Donald Trump, you need to understand the history of the US, including the interaction between President John F. Kennedy and Wernher von Braun, the former Nazi and the founder of NASA, philosopher, political scientist, the leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergey Kurginyan said on February 7 on the Conversation with a Sage program on the Zvezda radio channel.

The political scientist noted that he always quotes facts from the US history when explaining Trump’s actions. It is impossible to “understand Trump’s actions without a full understanding of history in general, as well as the history of the intelligence services,” Kurginyan said.

It makes no sense just go over his actions again and again, excluding any historical context and all the trends. It would be impossible to understand anything that way,” the philosopher emphasized.

History should not be absolutized, because the world is constantly changing, Kurginyan noted. “But it changes, moveing something thats inside it,” the political scientist added.

Studying the US history and its special history reveals something complex, the philosopher explained.

We are talking about the resettlement of German Nazis to the US, where they immediately and undoubtedly came into contact with the German elite groups that existed in the US and Canada. The ideologue and the leader to this great resettlementof Nazis to the US was, of course, Wernher von Braun and his advisers, Kurginyan explained.

“Wernher von Braun belonged to the elite of Hitler’s occult Nazism, but he was absolutely needed, because it was believed (and not without reason) that he was a genius in space research, rocket science and everything else, while the Russians, or the Soviets (Korolev and his group) were far ahead in this endeavor – and he had to be recruited and given the authority regardless of his personal qualities,” Kurginyan said.

At the same time, US President John F. Kennedy was apprehensive about von Braun, particularly because he posed a threat to his democratic values, the political scientist noted.

But Kennedy extremely needed von Braun, who was actively lobbied for,” the philosopher added. Consequently, the politician was forced to give him all the necessary powers, organize an operation for gathering and resettlement of Nazi scientists to the US for him.

Wernher von Braun enjoyed unlimited powers, and made very powerful moves when he was appointing the Nazi elites, carried out a symbiosis between the Nazi and the US elites, primarily through the German connections, Kurginyan said.

A profound and consistent Nazification of the US was taking place under the slogan of the fight against communism, the political scientist explained.

Wernher von Braun was a champion in this matter. Whether he is a rocket genius or not is a separate question, but the fact that he was a genius in this, thats for sure,” Kurginyan emphasized.

And when Kennedy, in particular, tried to moderate von Braun, then these attempts, as well as the efforts to prevent terrorist attacks against his own population by his own intelligence services, led to Kennedys death,” concluded the leader of the Essence of Time movement.
