This is an amazing testimony to what happened in Kentucky when JFK was president. She links it to Hurricane Helene. It’s a tad long but really worth listening to! I believe she is spot on! People need to do what she says.

In 1963, President John F. Kennedy and the Tennessee Valley Authority decided to purchase 170,000 acres of land between Kentucky Lake and the newly-created Lake Barkley. This area was known to the locals as “between the rivers” which lead to the present-day Land Between The Lakes (LBL).

The vast area of 265-plus square miles is now completely uninhabited. No permanent residents live here – only campgrounds, public launch ramps and some popular attractions. But evidence of settlements, homes, farms and communities can be found throughout LBL.

Virtually all structures in LBL were either moved out or torn down. Less than a handful remain today, but a keen eye and knowing where to look will reveal some of the life that was here over 50 years ago.
