I find it interesting that all the former peaceniks of the 60s have become the biggest cheerleaders for the warmongers over at the Pentagon. They've actually morphed into the very thing that they used to hate!

RFK Jr. Says Fox News Didn’t Run Negative Vaccine Stories to Keep Big Pharma Advertisers

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Fox News barred content that reflected negatively on vaccines to appease its big-money advertisers in the pharmaceutical industry.

During a June 5 Twitter Spaces interview with the platform’s owner, Elon Musk, Kennedy disclosed that he approached former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes in 2016 about doing a story on the mercury content in vaccines but was shut down.

“He said that any of his hosts who allowed me on TV to talk about this, that he would be forced to fire them,” Kennedy recalled. “And he said that 75 percent of his advertising revenues for the nightly news shows were at that point coming from pharma.”

According to Kennedy, Ailes was sympathetic to his cause but knew that such a story would result in a call from Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch “within 10 minutes.”

YouTube and by extension, the Establishment don’t want you to hear what he (RFK) has to say. So they silence him.

This is the way of things in the 2020s. There is a censorship-industrial complex determined to control what you see, hear, and can think.

This is, literally, what totalitarianism looks like, and in this case, the fascist version of it where the corporate and government elements of society collude to control everything.
...
This is a great example of what this means. Even if YouTube didn’t get a specific request to silence Kennedy, they certainly are responding to the desires of the Democrats who want him shut down.

It’s pretty clear that the Democrats don’t want an anti-establishment loose canon in the White House. Should Biden be pushed aside, or God forbid become obviously unable to run again, he will be replaced on the ticket by Harris or Newsom, depending upon which faction within the Party wins. It will not be RFK Jr.

The Democrat Party is far more efficient at controlling the machinery of their party. They stack the deck for their chosen candidate and it sticks. The Republicans have tried to do this, but as you saw in 2016 they aren’t very good at it. The Democrats are, and the range of tools they now have extends beyond mere control over their own party machinery: they essentially control the means of communication.

YouTube is a subsidiary of Alphabet (Google), and the Alphabet people (in both senses of the word here) are doing the Establishment’s bidding (or rather, their own class’ bidding since they are also Establishment).

This is America in the 2020s.

UPDATE: Instagram banned RFK Jr.’s account before it even got started:

It's older than that.

I remember seeing Ron Paul videos in 2008 that had 50,000 comments and "320 views". People pointed this out constantly, and Google just claimed it was a bug.

At least you know how that people will be this shitty, corporations lie all the fucking time, and the establishment wants to continually misinform the population and push for fucking war. It took another 15 years, but at least you know now.

Believe me, and listen to me.

Alphabet's name is chosen VERY intentionally. They are named that because of the term "Alphabet agency" - government agency. CIA, FBI, NSA, DNI. Google is intelligence, and so is YouTube. You don't have the ability to tell the truth on either Google or Youtube. You have to ignore them.

They are fine for mindless entertainment, but for anything that matters? They are worse than useless, they are malicious.

Hey, I enjoy cute dog and kitten videos too, but I don't go to YouTube for anything approaching "news". There's no information there.

It's no observation, it's a fact.

Engineers always try to be clever. We're somewhat smart, and there's no way, nobody in the creation of Alphabet didn't know the connotation. It's very deliberate. Engineers often have a superiority complex because they know "how things work", and they just don't think the public can figure it out.

In 2005 there were rumors flying around that the NSA had compromised Google. In my experience, rumors are almost always true, when it's bad news. I'm telling you straight out, Google is completely controlled by the intelligence agencies. I have ZERO doubt about this.

Why Is The Establishment So Scared Of RFK Jr.?
by Marie Hawthorne June 9, 2023

The OP has suffered a lot from deplatforming, as Daisy has documented. This has been very difficult financially, but we’re far from alone. One of the biggest public figures regularly getting shut down is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., an official presidential candidate. RFK is constantly getting banned and smeared as an “anti-vaxxer.” But is he really that crazy?

Some background on RFK Jr.
RFK Jr. was born famous and privileged, except, of course, for his father and uncle getting assassinated in his childhood. For a long time, RFK Jr. was best known as an environmental lawyer. He became involved in cleaning up the Hudson River in the 1980s as part of court-mandated community service from a heroin arrest. His community service inspired him to work with multiple groups dedicated to cleaning up the Hudson, and he eventually founded Waterkeeper Alliance in 1999.

His environmental hero status didn’t last, however. In 2005, he entered the vaccine debate after being contacted by parents of vaccine-injured children. Since then, it has been hard to find an article about RFK Jr. that doesn’t begin by describing him as an “anti-vaxxer.”

For about fifteen years, most people (myself included) were content to dismiss him and the anti-vaccine movement in general as cranks. I raised my children with all their shots, trusting the medical profession to keep us healthy.

Until Covid.
As the “two weeks to flatten the curve” turned into months and sometimes years, many people began to realize there was something deeply wrong with many of our formerly-trusted institutions. We saw businesses get shut down and livelihoods ruined. Decisions were not being made in the best interests of normal Americans, those who ran small businesses and relied on institutions like the public schools.

When the jabs came along, things got weirder. Natural immunity was totally ignored and the nation was expected to submit itself as guinea pigs for this treatment that had never been tested for long-term effects. When vaccine mandates began to be implemented, RFK Jr.’s advocacy for parental choice regarding medical treatments started to sound a lot more reasonable.

It became obvious that there was a lot of lying and manipulation going on. I became increasingly suspicious of “official” voices and more willing to listen to figures like RFK Jr. I bought his book, The Real Anthony Fauci, almost as soon as it was available.

I read the whole thing. All 492 pages detailing one scam after another. You may not agree with RFK Jr. on every issue, but no one can deny that he knows his material. And no one has sued him for libel or slander, which makes me think the book is mostly accurate.

The Real Anthony Fauci sold over a million copies and has more than 23,000 reviews culminating in 4.8 stars, yet garnered no book reviews from legacy media.

So, why are the Democrats so afraid of him?
On pages 142-142, RFK Jr. recounts going from a sought-after guest speaker whose articles were regularly featured in legacy media to a total outcast. His status changed abruptly once he turned from cleaning up waterways to pharmaceutical companies. However, he has deep pockets, he’s got the Kennedy name, and he hasn’t gone away.

As the public, in general, became more and more distrustful of the Covid response, people became more willing to listen to non-mainstream voices like RFK Jr. His non-profit, Children’s Health Defense, saw its profits double in 2020.

His “Defeat the Mandates” rally in January 2022 was attended by over 30,000 people.

After The Real Anthony Fauci was published, Tucker Carlson hosted RFK Jr. more regularly. The two men had an interview on April 19, the day RFK Jr. announced his plan to run as a Democratic presidential candidate. On April 24, five days later, Fox fired Tucker, leading to speculation that Tucker’s willingness to give RFK Jr. a large platform was part of the reason for his dismissal.

RFK Jr. has been interviewed by the likes of Russell Brand and Jordan Peterson. Despite being endlessly labeled “crazy” and “extremist,” after watching him interact with a variety of hosts, he comes across as anything but.

After immense social pressure, Instagram had to reinstate his original account as well as his campaign account once he announced his presidential bid. Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has endorsed RFK, much to the outcry of the MSM. He’s proven difficult to silence.

RFK Jr: Fox News Censors Vaccine Reports to Protect Big Pharma Advertisers

Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has accused Fox News of censoring negative reports about vaccines in an effort to protect the network’s Big Pharma advertisers.

Kennedy said Fox News barred content that reflected negatively on vaccines to preserve the narrative that the shots are “safe and effective.”

According to RFK Jr., the nephew of President John F. Kennedy, Fox sought to appease its big-money advertisers in the pharmaceutical industry who make the vaccines.

During a June 5 Twitter Spaces interview with the platform’s owner, Elon Musk, Kennedy disclosed that he approached former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes in 2016.

Kennedy said he spoke with Ailes about doing a story on the mercury content in vaccines but was shut down.

“He said that any of his hosts who allowed me on TV to talk about this, that he would be forced to fire them,” Kennedy recalled.

“And he said that 75 percent of his advertising revenues for the nightly news shows were at that point coming from pharma.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a 2024 Democratic presidential candidate and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, is nearly tied with President Joe Biden in a recent “bombshell” poll.

The Rasmussen survey asked voters which candidate they would vote for in the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination.

President Biden earned the highest numbers, with 36% of respondents saying they would vote for him.

However, 35% said they would vote for RFK — only one point less than the current president.

https://twitter.com/MLiamMcCollum/status/1669756338237489152

@MLiamMcCollum
Joe Rogan asked RFK Jr. how it feels to be treated like a conspiracy theorist by his own family, and his response was to give a short lesson on Albert Camus’s The Plague, the Myth of Sisyphus, and the Stoics.

I think the reason people are drawn to RFK Jr. is because he's a breath of fresh air.

Compared to the routine bureaucrats you expect to run for president, he's actually an impressive person, with an impressive mind, that seems earnestly interested in ideas and the truth. He doesn't have to be your preferred candidate to see that.

We have such unimpressive fiat elites, and it wears on people, so people like RFK Jr., whether they're good on policy and should be president, just sound better. We need a higher standard for these people.

There are significant issues I disagree with RFK about, but this was a cool moment nonetheless. A major litmus test for any presidential candidate should be whether they are willing to talk with @joerogan for hours.

On a personal note, one of the best endorsements that RFK Jr. received is when a Democrat distant relative of mine told me, in no uncertain terms, that RFK Jr. was a "conspiracy nut." After he said that, I liked RFK even more. Why? Because this relative is a very radical nutcase that also happens to be a dishonest, disbarred attorney. Do you know how bad you have to be to get disbarred? He also loves Biden and got extremely mad at me, as in making a physical threat, when I brought up Hunter, the Big Guy and Burisma.

You can tell an awful lot about a person by understanding who their enemies are. RFK's enemies?

The Deep State

The CIA & the crooked FBI

Big Pharma

The 'vaccine' forced mandate crowd

The Military Industrial Complex

The Warmongers at the Pentagon and the endless war promoting Neo-Cons

The anti 2nd. Amendment gun grabbers (RFK recently stated the "2nd. Amendment is a settled issue" and "I'm not out to take anyone's guns away from them")

The radical left-wingers of the Democrat Party

Anthony Fauci, the CDC & WHO

The WEF & Klaus Schwab, etc.

Ukraine ... RFK wants the war to end and cut supplies and money to Ukraine

I'm sure there are more, but that's just off the top of my head.

Vax-Pushing Debate Dodger Linked To 'Chimeric' Coronavirus Creation In Wuhan
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/vax-pushing-debate-dodger-linked-chimeric-cronavirus-creation-wuhan



Over the weekend, the MSM's new vax-pushing darling, Dr. Peter Hotez, chickened out of a debate with presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. after a charity pot to do so reached more than $2.6 million in less than 24 hours.
Hotez, a frequent guest on CNN and NBC during the Covid-19 pandemic, first tried the 'let's take this offline' approach with Rogan, after first posting a link to a VICE article attacking claims made by RFK Jr. on Rogan's podcast. Rogan called that a "non answer," and his original $100,000 offer to donate to charity snowballed into millions after a flood of people committed to the pot.

He now says that getting 'tag-teamed' on Twitter has been "overwhelming," telling MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan (after an establishment support strike was called in) "You know, the attacks from the anti-vaccine lobby do come in waves. And this time, though, it's been one of the tougher ones. Because, as you pointed out, the physical stalking and the incessant threatening emails."

"And the stuff online is just total whack-a-doodle. And let's face it, when you have RFK Jr. and Joe Rogan, and Elon Musk, all tag-teaming, those tres hombres at the same time," he added. "That probably includes just about every follower on Twitter. So, it's pretty overwhelming."

And the ultimate copout:

"In science, we don’t typically do debates. What we do is we write scientific papers … one doesn’t typically debate science. Maybe the one-off discussion of evolution versus creationism & that sort of thing, but that’s not what we do in science."

You mean debates you can't win?

He can't win. I don't overall mind his views, better than Biden, but he has flaws on policy. And he can't speak. I have similar issues with my voice. His voice is grinding. No one will give it a shot. Stumbling over words is different than barely being able to speak. I literally have to take days off speaking. His is exponentially worse. Won't work in a general election campaign. He's a non starter, though a reasonable Dem. I wouldn't get my hopes up is all.

That’s why he will win.
He’s a DNC plant. He’s not running like this is a primary and he needs to appeal to the Dem base. He’s running like this is a general election and he needs to appeal to independents and moderate Republicans. As if the primary had already preordained his win.
What does he know?
I’ll bet Biden will crash and burn soon, perhaps due to his bribery scandal or Covid vax pushing. The truth about the vax has been coming out steadily and the preponderance of evidence is not only negative but horrifically negative. Already more than half the country thinks it was a mistake to give us the vax.
Fast forward a couple months and what will they think then?
RFK is unsullied by the Covid corruption, proven prescient on the vax, and has real outsider bona fides! He’s perfect to swoop in over the ashes of the Biden catastrophe and appeal to independents to win in a landslide.
Then he will rule as a democrat.
We are so fucked

In an interview with Jordan Peterson and another interview with Joe Rogan over the weekend, Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. specifically brought up the frog feminization study and the hypothesis that atrazine could have negative consequences on childhood development.

The fact is that the papers cited above (and below) support what RFK, Jr. stated. He even got the percentages of feminized frogs correct! That is that exposure to endocrine disruptors during in-uterine or childhood development could be impacting normal reproductive development.

Alex Jones was right on this as well.

To be fair Alex Jones said "they are turning the frogs gay!"

Well, actually, they are sexually transitioning males to females, or simply sterilizing the males that don't.

They knew that frogs could change their genders for a long time. That was part of the plot of Jurassic Park, and that was written in 1990.

Alex Jones always gets things subtly wrong, or just wrong with the gist of it being correct. so he always sounds nuts. I'm convinced this is intentional of him.

Being that I consider myself a conservative independent, I'm not exactly thrilled by some of the policies that RFK Jr. supports.
However, on the major issue of our lifetime, perhaps even in the history of this country, he is spot on. No one in politics has the track record that RFK Jr. has on not only the killer COVID 'vaccines,' but on vaccines in general.

In less than a heart beat, I would take him over the current POTUS any day of the week.

That's what I originally thought, but you know the Democrats did elect John Fetterman, and brain dead Joe Biden.

What struck me strange about his rally yesterday. It looked like the Democrat version of a Trump crowd. Only not as good looking or as patriotically dressed.
The average age seemed to be over 45 and a very few black people in the crowd. But lets face it, black people don't go to political rallies.. Unless a Hip Hop star is performing.

I hope he hijacks the Democrat party like Trump did the GOP.

Oh and I was happy to find out Dennis Kasinish is his campaign director. Perhaps he will be his Veep pick.

I think the transition was to the Obama admin as far as being more bought off by national security state and big bidness, even more so than the Clinton Crime Family. And Biden was in on it as Vice President back then.

Now Biden and the Dems can't put the genie back in the battle as far as being beholden to Google to Pfizer to Lockheed Martin to Blackrock. That Russian hoax - Hunter Biden laptop letter was signed by a lot of individuals with financial interests in the Ukraine war.

They will easily turn on Biden by getting the mainstream media to stop producing Biden puff pieces, and start writing concerns about Biden's health, etc.

I disagree. The Democrats are so brainwashed by the corporate media, which is itself so committed to neocons 4EVA that they’ll never willingly let someone other than Biden be the Dem nominee.

And RFK is clearly running as a centrist moderate populist which is NOT the campaign you’d ever do for a Primary Election. He won’t break 30% with Hiden Biden on the ticket. But if they remove Biden by simply getting out of the way to let evidence of his crimes surface and be acknowledged, there’s little the DNC machine can do to keep him in the race. He will be impeached and censured most likely. which should torpedo his chances enough that he either resigns or serves out the remainder of his term as the lamest of lame ducks.

That’s what’s necessary to get RFK to the General Election. And RFK is already campaigning like that’s the only election he has to win. What does he know?

FDR once remarked that, "I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made." When I first heard this in my younger days, I thought it sounded like mere bravado. Nowadays, having lots of enemies in high places strikes me as the surest sign that one is doing the right thing.

For years, RFK, Jr. has done a splendid job of making enemies among the Vaccine Mafia, and they have made him pay dearly for it. ...

We believe the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex—responsible for the creation of SARS-CoV-2 and the criminal COVID-19 vaccine disaster—is an outgrowth of the Military-Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned about.

Mr. Kennedy’s speech presents a fascinating portrait of American history between Eisenhower’s warning and his uncle President John Kennedy’s assassination less than three years later. JFK tried to heed his predecessor’s warning.

RFK, Jr.’s speech about the danger and debasement of warmongering strongly resembles James Madison’s thoughts on the matter. As Madison wrote in a letter in 1795:

Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

I highly recommend that our Substack readers listen to RFK Jr.’s revealing, heartfelt, and profound speech. If you too find it intriguing and inspiring, please share it with your networks.

OK, sharing:

So Pat Netters with some lifting experience, is he or is he not doing roids or at least hormone therapy?

https://slate.com/human-interest/2023/06/rfk-jr-shirtless-bench-press-pushup-workout.html

On the one hand he looks great for a guy in his 40's - except he's pushing 70. On another hand he's managing to struggle with 105 lbs. on the incline press and looks to struggle to complete 6 or 7 push ups. So -- body like a weight lifter but very little actual strength?

Not hating, except that I can't afford that sweet hormone therapy that apparently he and sean penn can.

The weight was not 105, it was 115 ... bar weighs 45, plates were two 25s and two 10s. Trust me on this one; the average 40 year old American male would not be able to do ONE rep on a bench press with 115 pounds. Of course, if you work out, that improves dramatically. I give the guy credit for doing what he's doing, instead of allowing himself to turn into a mush ball like most American men are doing.
