Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Three

The murder attempt failed, Kennedy survived, the polls showed his popularity skyrocketing, and by November he was on track to be re-elected President of the United States.Not only that, but his landslide victory, which sent almost all of his hand-picked candidates into Congress, gave the president control of both houses of Congress at last as he wished. In the period leading up to his inauguration from November to January, Kennedy had his administration work with a new, cooperative Congress to draft new laws. He also brought in the press, some newspapers, some television, fueling the flames, making educated nonsense about Yabry, Gris, and Tibbert, and the last attempt to murder the President were all part of the same gigantic conspiracy, some news magazines Also made a detailed report on this issue with the cover headline.

Privately, when President Kennedy revealed to his top aides his grand vision for reforming the American system of government, they were all stunned.According to his plan, the government will form a powerful management organization to weaken large companies. The management and control of large companies are no longer limited to the scope of civil law, but can also be criminalized by criminal law.Obviously, the end result is that many of them will be tried for subversion of the state.In fact, Kennedy jotted down the names of Moche, Celadin, Odick, and Greenville. Kennedy emphasized that the most effective way to win the support of the American public is to completely eliminate criminal activities in American society.An important part of his social reform program is to pass a constitutional amendment to impose harsh penal laws on criminals.In addition, not only the legal provisions on the evidence required for criminal crimes need to be amended to facilitate sentencing and conviction, but also stipulate in the form of law that new medical brain detectors must be used in criminal cases to determine the facts of crimes.

But the most jaw-dropping plan was to set up permanent labor camps in the icy wilds of Alaska, where repeated criminals would be sent to serve life sentences. Francis.Kennedy told his top personal aides: I want you to look at these plans, but if you can't keep up with these reforms, I'm ready to accept your resignation, as sad as it will be for me.I hope you will reply within three days. Sure enough, during these three days, Adblad.Gray requested a private meeting with the president.They had lunch together in the yellow Oval Office. Gray appeared extremely formal, deliberately downplaying his past relationship with Kennedy.Mr. President, he said, I must declare to you that I oppose your plan to eliminate crime in this country.

Kennedy said with all seriousness: These programs are necessary.We finally have a Congress that passes the necessary laws. I can't figure out the labor camps in Alaska.Gray said. Why?Only repeat offenders were sent there, Kennedy asked.Hundreds of years ago the British solved the same problem by sending criminals to Australia.It's good for both parties. Kennedy seemed cold and impatient, but Adblad.Without timidity, Grace said indignantly: It's not like you don't know that most criminals are black. Then let them stop criminal activity, Kennedy said, and let them join the social development process.

Gray retorted: Let your big companies stop exploiting black people first Come on, Otto, Kennedy said, it's not a racist issue, and I've proven to you over the years we've worked together that I'm not a racist.Now do you trust me, or the Socrates Club? I don't trust anyone in this kind of thing.Adblad.Gray said. I'll tell you the truth, Kennedy said almost angrily, what's wrong with weeding out black criminals from the black population?Black people are the main victims, why should the victims protect the criminals?Otto, I have to be blunt. The white people in this country, rightly or wrongly, are terrified of black criminals. What's wrong with letting most black and white well-off families blend together?

Your proposal is to eliminate a large portion of the younger generation of black people.Gray said, it's too bad, I said no.He paused, then said, even if I believe you, Francis, what about the next president?He might use labor camps for political prisoners. That's not my intention.Kennedy said, then smile, go ahead, maybe I'll stay longer than you think. This made Gray shudder. Could it be that Kennedy is considering amending the Constitution so that he can be re-elected for a third term as president?Alarm bells rang in Gray's mind. It's not that simple.Then be bolder, says Gray, and you too will change.

Then he could feel Kennedy changing, and in an instant they were enemies. Either you stay with me or you go away.Kennedy said, you accuse me of exterminating an entire generation of blacks. That is not the case. They were sent to labor camps for re-education and cultivated into law-abiding citizens of society.My measures against the Socrates Club are much more extreme than before. They are desperate and I want to destroy them. Gray saw that Kennedy was unwavering. He had never seen a president so determined or so ruthless, and he felt that he was starting to faint.At this time, Kennedy put his hand on his shoulder and said: Otto, don't abandon me now, we will build a great America together.

I'll give you an answer after you take office.But, Francis, don't lie to me, said Gray, if we niggers suffer in the cold, I want more whites to suffer too. Helen.Vice President Dubowry and Dr. Anaconi were invited to a meeting held by President Kennedy and his team of aides in the Cabinet Room.Kennedy knew that he had to be extra careful. These people knew him best, and he must not let them notice his plans and steps.He said to them: Dr. Anaconi has something to announce to you that may surprise you. Anaconi announced that the PET brain detector has been improved through research and has eliminated 10% of the original defects that may cause sequelae. This risk has now been reduced to only one in a thousand, almost reaching the point of perfection.Kennedy listened absentmindedly, and then heard Helen.Dubury smiled knowingly when he declared angrily that the law must never compel a free citizen to take such a test. He had expected her to react in this way.

Anaconi is really a scholar, his face is too thin, and his face is full of grievances immediately.Kennedy was getting happier. But when he heard Gray, Fox and Daisy express their support for the vice president's opinion one after another, he couldn't be happy.He correctly estimated Christie.Kohli won't speak. They all watched Kennedy to see where he was going.He had to convince them they were right.He said slowly: I know there will be many difficulties, but I am determined to put this kind of brain test into law and make it into law, not all of it. After all, there is still some danger in this thing, although it is very small.Dr. Anaconi assured me, however, that after further research even this little risk would be reduced to zero.This is a revolutionary scientific experiment that will change our society. No matter how difficult it is, we must overcome it firmly.

Anaconi whispered: Congress will not pass such a law. We'll let them through.Kennedy smiled grimly and said that this scientific and technological achievement will be extended to other countries, and all intelligence agencies will use it, of course we must use it.He laughed aloud, and said to Anaconi, I think you can cut your funds. Your invention has caused so much trouble that lawyers should lose their jobs.But at least no one will be convicted innocent again. He stood up, walked to the large glass window, stared at the rose garden, deliberately created an atmosphere, and then said:

I want to express my determination on this matter.I have been repeatedly accused by those disaffected of us of being responsible for the atomic bombing, which I could have prevented.Eugene, I want you to help Dr. Anaconi make arrangements, and I want to be the first to have a PET brain test.Do it right away.Arrangements are made for formal legal oversight procedures. He smiled at Corley and said: The question you are going to ask is are you in any way responsible for the detonation of the atomic bomb?I will answer.He paused, then continued, besides me, my Attorney General will also take this test.ok chris No problem, Corley said nervously, half-truthfully, but you're first. In Walter.Reed Hospital has prepared a set of rooms specially for President Kennedy. In one of the special conference rooms, President Kennedy and his aides Weeks, Gray and Daisy, as well as Vice President Duberry and Representative Kintz And Senator Lambertino, and three other brilliant medical scientists were invited to oversee and record the results of the big test. Dr. Anaconi prepared the slides, turned on the projector, and began his explanation: As you already know, the experiment we are going to conduct uses an improved and accurate polygraph positron X-ray perspective detection Instrument, referred to as PET detector, we use this instrument to measure the activity level of specific chemical drugs injected into the human brain, and can judge the authenticity of the words spoken by the testee.The following slides show the brain activity of some of the subjects we did in limited demonstrations at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Long slides, one after another, are projected on a large white screen in front of them.Vibrant colors indicate corresponding changes in different brain regions when the test taker reads, listens or speaks, or even simply thinks about a word.Dr. Anaconi used blood and glucose to label the radioactive markers. The beauty of the PET machine, says Dr. Anaconi, is that brain activity is displayed in vivid images.A bright spot in the back of the brain indicates that a person is reading a book, and in the dark blue area in the middle of the brain, you see, there is an irregular blood spot with a little pink and blue, which means speaking; in the front of the brain, there is A similar point shows that man is thinking.In these disaggregated different brain regions, we put magnetic resonance images, and the whole brain is now like a magic lamp. Dr. Anaconi looked around to see if others were following his explanation, and then went on: Do you see that point in the middle of the brain changing?If the subject lies, the amount of blood pouring into the brain will increase, forming another image. The blood spot in the middle of the brain surprisingly turned into a red circle surrounded by irregular yellow.The testee is lying.Dr. Anaconi said that when the president is tested, what you are looking for is this yellowish red dot.The doctor nodded to the president and said: Now we go to the testing room. In a leaden wall room, Francis.Kennedy was lying on a cold hard bed, and a long and large metal cylinder was approaching behind him. Dr. Anaconi put a metal mask on Kennedy's forehead and cheeks, and Kennedy shivered. Put anything on his face; the Doctor tied his hands around his sides and pushed the table into the large cylinder, which was narrower, darker, and stuffy than he expected, with a ring of radioactive crystals around him Detector. Then Kennedy heard the echo of Dr. Anaconi's words, hollow, instructing him to look at a white cross over his eyes, and you had to keep your gaze on that white cross.The doctor repeatedly exhorted. In a room in the basement of the hospital five floors down, a pneumatic lead tube containing a syringe filled with radioactive oxygen acts like an isotope cyclotron. When a command came from the testing room above, the lead pipe spiraled like a tiny rocket through the pipes hidden in the walls of the hospital building until it reached its target.Dr. Anaconi opened the pneumatic lead tube, took the syringe out in his hand, and walked over to the PET detector.Kennedy heard his echoing hollow voice again: Injection.Then he felt the doctor push the needle into his arm. At one end of the detector, a side of closed glass separates the people in the other room, and we can only see the end of Kennedy's feet.Dr. Anaconi came out of the detector room and turned on the computer screen on the wall. Everyone could see the activity of Kennedy's brain. They saw the drug circulating in Kennedy's blood, releasing positron particles and producing gamma rays. Fission energy. They watched the generally radioactive blood flow to Kennedy's visual cortex, releasing beams of gamma rays, all of which were received by the circle of radioactive detectors in the large cylinder. Kennedy kept staring at the white cross as instructed. Then, Kennedy began to listen to Dr. Anaconi's questions through the sound transmission equipment connected to the detector. Your name?Francis.Excelsior.Kennedy. Profession?America president. Are you connected to the plot to bomb the atomic bomb that exploded in New York?no, no. Did you know that you can prevent an atomic bomb from going off beforehand?No, I do not know.Kennedy replied. Inside the great black cylinder, his words falling like a breeze on his face, Dr. Anaconi stared at the computer screen above his head. The screen showed the shape of the bluish brain matter in Kennedy's graceful head. The people in the room watched intently. But there are no red dots or yellow circles that indicate lies. The president is telling the truth.Dr Anaconi said. Christie.Kohli felt weak in his knees and knew he couldn't pass such a test.
