I had been seriously considering RFK Jr, until he chose his running mate. It made me scratch my head because it was a choice that was nearly the opposite of how he seemed to be positioning himself.

The only way I can make sense of this is that he knew he would not be elected and decided to make sure Biden could not be re-elected. In the same way that never-Trumpers try to take down DJT, he is doing what he can to take the Biden admin down.

So what does he get out of this? I think it is Sec'y HHS in a Trump admin. Then he will be able to focus on his top priority, and has been for a long time: taking down big pharma.

What indication has there ever been that Trump acknowledges the problems with Big Pharma or their products, which he is STILL touting (and doubled down this month) Warp Speed and his abominable handling of the "pandemic" as his shining accomplishment? Trump still seems to think he's a hero for rolling out this poison and for every other destructive policy he pushed in 2020. I could see assuming that if he said nothing about it, but he's doing the opposite.

Trump needs to keep his effing mouth shut about the vaxx!

He needs an advisor to talk to half his voters...so out of touch...almost makes me want to gag as much as listening to shit-stain in chief.

I mean does he think he'll gain one vote by claiming how great his non-vaxx vaxx was?!

In fact, it's just the opposite.

Follow the money. I think he was bought by Pfizer. He got a nice $1M donation to his inauguration, then appointed Pfizer lobbyists to head public health (look up Alex Azar if you really want to gag), he was personally invested $20-60M in Pfizer at that time, and then he awarded presidential commendations to Fauci, Birx and the rest of the criminal bureaucrats on his last day in office. When asked about that by Megyn Kelly last summer, he feigned amnesia. And lest we think this is an isolated incident, he received $500K from Monsanto and then cut regulations for GMO foods. Standard politician pay-for-play. He didn't drain the swamp because he's one of them. That should have been obvious as well, from his appointments of Bill Barr and the rest of the well known swamp creatures he put into positions of power.

There no good way out of this mess. Even the campaign now on-going 'to save America' is highly compromised, highly flawed. But it is as 'a plan' better than concentration camps, mass liquidations outright and total unbridled lawlessness.

Looking around, there is no plan anywhere to restore America to organic constitutions, to have a compliant constitutional law order/law codes. To just begin to bring such stuff up and as regards most people, they will look at such a one as if he just flew out of the cuckoo clock at the stroke of twelve.

Survivors of the Titanic, floating in the icy Atlantic, were focused on how do we survive this disaster. Not how do we reform the shipping industry.

We are survivors, clinging to life at this point. All that planning for reforms will have to wait until we have been made safe and sound.

We are in great and grave danger at this point in time. A fact lost on many.

That’s why we must humble ourselves and pray and repent of our sins; they are so many. We are freezing in the water with no help in sight (what a great analogy, btw. This is no time to be talking about hot to improve the ship’s design and construction! It’s a little late for that.) The only thing that will save us is an act of God. The only thing that will bring that about is true repentance. There will be consequences no matter which way we choose. But there would be hope.

A buddy of mine has often commented that men like Gates, Soros and Schwab are just bitter old men who want to kill as many people as they can because they know that they are soon going to die. They just want to take as many as they can with them. Of course, these are not the 1%.

daverkb's avatar

This particular rational strikes me as being somewhat shallow ... and possibly a grasping at straws in trying to make sense out of that which cannot be rendered sensible to understanding by all normal mental inclination.

People like Gates, Soros, Schwab actually believe in their agendas (depopulation, transhumanism, eugenics and so only). To them is a religion to achieve some good. And the 'good' to be obtained justifies the idea of the end justifying the means. These people, for whatever justification, believe that 'they' occupy the high ground ... and their material wealth and power seconds the motion.

Then there are the Useful Idiots. These poor people actually believe that they too occupy the high ground because someone told them so, sold them a seemingly believable bill of goods. The Useful idiots are controllable enablers for the elites due to deficits in their education and/or access to real facts.

The above can be even smart people in many ways, excepting that they are very flawed.

Gates, Soros, Schwab and people like them usually become bitter only once they hit a speed bump and are made impoverished and/or imprisoned for their criminal actions.

The difference between Good and Evil is the difference between Truth and Lies, between Law and Lawlessness.

I do not really blame Trump for OWS. Many other good people--including good scientists, such as the Great Barrington Declaration authors--were in favor of it. In fact, I heard Jay Bhattacharya make the ridiculous statement that he got COVID but it was a mild case because of the shot. I get very upset with Trump when he still touts the shot, but I don't believe he would ever have mandated it. And that's the most important thing in my mind. If everyone had been free to make the choice of getting vaxxed or not, many people would have chosen not to get it. So Trump was in favor of freedom of choice, and that's more important to me than having been in favor of the shot in the first place.

I follow Trump closely. The only jab comment I know anything about is when he reacted to what Biden said in the SOTU speech. He was calling Biden out for lying, not pushing the vaccine. Open minded people can see that clearly.

TB's avatar

I do get the impression that Trump has a very hard time acknowledging mistakes, and he may still be partially blind to just how bad the jab actually is, because to admit it was bad would make OWS bad, and he's publicly bragged about how good it was and taken the credit for it. People are complicated, and all of us have flaws and errors of some kind. I just pray that he can be humble enough to admit his mistakes, even if only privately.

Operation warp speed. Fast tracked vaxxes.

I live in Florida. DeSantis is a great governor but lots of reasons why he dropped out. He is owned by rinos on the national stage as proven by his statements and backtracking the next day (s). He looked visibly uncomfortable the whole time. Look up his donors. Plus there’s a bunch of issues in Florida he is either ignoring or purposely not dealing with. Statewide major insurance issues, the disabled community that doesn’t get state services and has a 25,000 person waitlist to even get any help just to name a couple. But he has a great track record with so many other issues too…as governor. He should’ve waited until after Trump to move in for the kill. It’s too bad he jumped the gun.

Doesn’t matter really at this point. You can have your ā€œfavoriteā€ just as much as the next person. No candidate is without flaws or blind sides. It’s ok to hold your nose and vote for Trump. The vaxx issue is the monkey on his back that hopefully someday he will have to answer for.

As much as you think supporters are blind to his faults - the same could be said to those who took the vax just because he said to. Shame on anyone who makes a decision just because Trump or another politician or celebrity or athlete says to. Poor decision makers if that’s what sways a person to inject something into their body, really.

If anyone is owned by rinos it’s Trump. Trump started the transgender taking over women’s competitions years ago. Trump appointees are swamp creatures or rinos. Yes, Trump did some good things, but he’s a shallow person that’s great at manipulating others by talking himself up.

Desantis probably saw Trump for what he is -a democrat and not so great guy.

I saw an absolutely square cloud yesterday evening here in Idaho. We are in a war of good vs. evil. Period. God used such flawed humans as his messengers and prophets. Even in his own lineage was David, and we all know what he did. So, we cannot pin our hopes on one man, only God. And who He uses to fulfill His purpose is yet to be seen. All I know is this nation was much better off under Trump than Biden. But the barn door is open and the illegals are streaming in. Biden/Satan has been on a mission to gut this nation of God and have done a bang up job. That is what all these horrible political/executive mandates and decisions are. Has there been even ONE for the good of the citizens of this nation? I would have to say that is a hard no. From the closing of the Keystone pipeline to the jab mandates, Jan 6th, Ukraine and the border and on and on and on goes the list since this shadow government was inaugurated.

Right. We are in a precarious stage right now; indifference.

I always have to remind myself that this is the default position of mankind. It is so frustrating to see it unfold. It starts with indifference; first in tiny, virtually imperceptible steps and eventually in "imperceptible" giant steps.

First indifference. Then apathy.

Then manacles

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage"

Tytler cycle.

Related? A little out there, but hey, we're residents of the cosmos. No getting away from it.

The star Betelgeuse, part of the constellation Orion, apparently exploded some 600-ish years ago. Webb telescope only detected a change several years ago. The rest is math I guess. Above my pay grade. Anyway, the star is so far away, some 500+ light years, that the full brunt of "shock" wave of energy released hasn't reached us yet. How much energy? I can't say. The star is/was nearly 900x the size of our sun. Big one. The somewhat-dissipated-due-to-distance "shock" wave of energy is due to arrive here shortly. What kind of energy? I can't say. But surely said wave will shift something on our planet. What? I can't say. But if you've ever felt the energy of a conversation shift, or felt the energy of a room when you walk into it, them's small energies. I 'spect this'll be a wee bit diffrnt.

Is everything in Divine order? Of course! What that is, yet again I am sadly not informed enough to say. But could this cosmic event be tied to this iteration of a Tytler cycle? Just asking the question. I suspect none but God has full information to answer. Plus I am unaware if Mr. Tytler, keen observer earthling, ever factored in our cosmic residency as some type of influence in his cyclical collapses. Food for thought - and all kinds o' speculation.

No one made him do that. He could have remained quiet on the mass poisoning of billions of people, but instead, he's kept throwing his support behind the worst crimes against humanity in world history, with more far reaching consequences than the Holocaust.

I think the deep state played him like a fiddle with their "final solution," I mean "safe and effective" solution. They appealed to his ego and he ate it up. He probably realizes it was wrong, but continues to double down. I think his ex-wife fell down the stairs and died a couple years ago. Who's to say she wasn't a victim of the sacred miracle elixir?

I do think DJT needs to be very strategic in what he says so that he can appeal to the many people who voted for Biden previously but who are dissatisfied with Biden enough to consider him now. I'd love it if he could rub their noses in all the lying and deception, but that may not be a good strategy to convince those who have been against him. He has clearly dialed back a lot of his brashness, and that's a good thing for electioneering. When he gets back in the Oval Office, he can then let loose on it all.

I always remember that while Trump had long been a NY society gadfly and welcome in Democrat power circles, he did see the light and wanted to "drain the swamp". He was a newcomer to the dirty political inner workings of the power elite, despite having been among them socially. He went into office not knowing fully who all the bad players were. Fauci, for example. He had been in his position for decades, and in the beginning Trump had no reason to fire him immediately. He just didn't know who he could trust and who he couldn't trust. I read Scott Atlas' book and while Trump listened to this one man, he had a lot of others in supposedly reliable positions of scientific power that he wasn't in a position to immediately dismiss. I don't think any of us would take the word of ONE person against multitudes of others at the beginning of something like covid. None of us started researching covid knowing the extent of it. How could we? And how could Trump? What is now clear is that they lied to him and deceived him and hid things from him even though as President he should have been privy to all information. But he knows NOW. That's the important thing.

I keep thinking about the Handmaid’s Tale and wondering if Margaret Lawrence was warning us (or telling us- she seems to be pretty cozy with WEF ideology these days) about what is in store for us. I look around and imagine who is going to be in each part- I think it’s safe to say that due to my age and my vocal disagreement with current politicians and health strategies - I will be one of the old ladies shoveling radioactive waste around!

Ah, that sounds just like what the media would do. Though I'm still curious of the details.... searching up the stories and the actual site, it's apparently a fancy bible containing: The Bible, plus "Handwritten chorus to ā€œGod Bless The USAā€ by Lee Greenwood, United States Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and The Pledge of Allegiance". Possibly a bit sacrilegious to some... but also very traditionally conservative American.

Though I can't help laughing at the claims of "King James translation" combined with "easy to read"... bit of an oxymoron there! (But, once again, VERY "traditional conservative".)

I purchased the said Bible for my kids as a family Bible a couple years ago. Lee Greenwood had a devil of a time (sorry, couldn't help myself) getting the book printed. So long were the delays that they offered refunds if people were tired of waiting.

Like you, I'm not a King James guy, NKJ is fine though.

I mean, what kind of binding and printing are those Bibles he's selling?

This isn’t directed at you but in general about Trump and the Covid vax. I never took the vax and will never take any. However, I am absolutely surrounded by conservatives who were desperate back in late 2020/early 2021 to get the vaccine and, as soon as it came out, they did. I only personally know a handful who had the discernment to not take it. So the clamoring for the vax and Trump’s warp speed as far as 70% of the country thought, was a success. There have been a few ā€œdied suddenliesā€ I know of but, unless one is looking for the whys, it is not readily apparent. I live in a red state but apparently the hot lots were not well distributed here. It should never have been mandated but Trump was not the one who did that. He did satisfy the majority by getting the vaccine to them when they clamored for them. Heck, there were churches here with drive through vax clinics set up in their parking lots. We who chose otherwise were few and far between the crowd who were desperate to get them.

It was clearly NOT "the best thing for us". And he's made very clear that he means the shots, many times. He said AFTER he was out of office that he "wouldn't have" forced the shots, but he allowed lockdowns & the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor & middle class to billionaires ever, putting people out of jobs, schools, businesses and doctor's offices. The suppression of known early treatments for that fraudulently obtained EUA, murdering millions worldwide in just the first year, before we really saw excess deaths on the rise in 2021 and to this day. That's not a success in my mind, unless you're with the WEF and want to reduce population through iatrogenocide. And really, the idea that he didn't force the shots is lame, since he didn't have the opportunity - the shots had only just started to roll out at the end of his term, and even Biden didn't mandate anything for 6 months after he took office. Given the profligate liar that Trump is, I don't believe a word he says.

When RD opened FL after 28 days, Trump threatened to pull federal funding from FL. Trump pushed the lockdowns for quite some time, and even insisted in a press conference that he had the power to do that. And he may not have had it directly, but as we saw with Biden when he spitefully pulled resources from FL for their monoclonal antibody centers, presidents hold the purse strings on resources they've received from the taxpayers in those states. Because RD was so smart about managing the state of FL, he was able to work around these fools because the state is not broke.

Good question. And he didn't have an opportunity to go as far as Biden.

I think this may turn out to be a very strategically smart move. And I couldn't agree more about the vax issue.

If he can’t control his *sexual* appetites, obviously he can’t control any of them. Except he can and he does, as evidenced by his billion dollar empire. You don’t get to where he is by being undisciplined. You could say he was undisciplined about a character matter, and you would have a valid point. But he is generous - with his time, his money, his resources. He sees individual people and he cares about their plight. In a world where our ā€œleadersā€ don’t care about us at all anymore, it’s a breath of fresh air to have someone care so loudly, so in-your-face to the opposition that wants to destroy us.

Everyone has their flaw(s) (some of us have more than one and some of those are pretty egregious) but if you look at the overall picture of a person’s life, rather than focusing on only specific areas, it gives you a better idea of the total picture of the person. When I (and many others) look at Trump, we can see the ugliness in certain aspects of the painting of his life. But if we stand back and take in the whole picture, we can see a masterpiece.

The Church which is "the Body of Christ" and which decided (pre schism) what to include in the Bible suggest prayer ropes (Orthodox) and beads (Catholic). Simply reading the Bible is not sufficient.

It is a tenet of Protestant Christianity that scripture *IS* sufficient to salvation, though not sufficient to understand every deep facet of theology. (And as a corollary, that scripture is capable of being sufficiently understood by an ordinary person to reach that 'necessary' level to be saved.)

However, thoughtful Protestants would agree that many things outside the Scripture, including the Church both as a whole and as a local congregation, are helpful in understanding the full depth of scripture, and in supporting believers in the practical application of daily faith.

Things like beads / prayer ropes fall more into that latter, practical category, though I'm inclined to think that the idea of making "stronger" prayers is difficult to align with the teachings of scripture. It seems to me that the stronger prayer is the prayer most in line with the will of God, and little to do with the manner in which it is prayed.

If one is not understanding the Bible, they are either unsaved or deceived by the devil's lies which are abundant in the professing churches. There is instruction (doctrine) from the Lord as to how to come unto the knowledge of the truth for a saved member of the body of Christ (1 Tim. 2:4, kjb) but the devil has the truth hidden:

2 Tim. 2:7 Consider what I (Apostle Paul) say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

2 Tim. 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

The Lord tells us who he sent to us in this dispensation of the grace of God with the gospel of our salvation and doctrine for the Church, the body of Christ by which we are to be edified; that is the Apostle Paul.

If a man is not following Paul as he followed Christ, then he is to be rejected as a teacher.

2 Tim. 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

We do not follow the same....The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. And they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after them...Lk 17:22-23

lol. You say Jesus says don’t pray rote prayer but then he gave us the Our Father. Which as far as I know all Christian’s pray no matter their particular denomination. Hmmm. How can any kind of prayer be bad? Better reread Jesus’ words and make sure you are not inserting your own for his.

My understanding MAY BE WRONG but I believe Jesus said this is ā€œHOW we should prayā€ as an example; not that we should pray this exact prayer, or pray it repeatedly in exact form. I think rote prayer is not an honest & personal relationship with God the Father. JMO of course.

Saying that, I love the ā€œOur Fatherā€ prayer. Matthew 6:9. It’s my guide to prayer, first giving God the glory and acknowledging His will, not mine, be done. āœļø

Jesus spoke the words of the Creator which apply to the universe which he created - with words. God spoke Hebrew. Then the Tower of Babel. Return to the original Bible in Hebrew and that is what Jesus taught. I agree with you.

He was kidnapped and murdered by the Roman Ponius Pilate while he attended a Jewish passover dinner which this year is on April 22, the true anniversary of the murder of the Jew, Jesus.

Florida was locked down. The difference between Trump and DeSantis is that DeSantis recognized his decision was wrong and immediately changed course. Trump was just hoping it would all go away. He took the easy way out.

Freedom Fox's avatar

I share that assessment for the most part. Only point of information that I find necessary to add is his recognition that his decision was wrong was largely driven by his political ambition and calculation.

From those with access inside his policy office and then campaign I interacted with in 2020-2021 DeSantis calculated that the crowded primary field he saw 2024 would be was empty in the "freedom" lane. By planting his ambition's flag in that otherwise unoccupied lane the other hopefuls to the throne would divide the the rest of GOP voters.

His calculation was that freedom seekers were a large enough bloc of voters to outnumber the divided rest of the field in the other GOP lanes that supported pandemic restrictions and mandates (DeWine, Hogan-like R's who were indistinguishable from the Newsome's, Pritzker's and Cuomo/Hochul's).

His political calculation was largely correct. Aside from the glaring miscalculation that Trump would be removed from the field. Which he still may be. But in that light, wrong and right is often arrived at for different reasons by politicians and their calculations. Whether or not their personal convictions align with their decisions.

Trump’s a businessman. In business, when you’re confronted by a problem outside your experience, you consult/hire people who are proven/widely considered to be experts. You don’t build your own IT or security systems - you get experts in. Trump was well aware that virology & epidemiology were way outside his experience. Unfortunately, the obvious ā€œexpertā€ to consult was the (filthy) individual who’d been ā€œmanagingā€ public health forever. Yes can imagine Fauci telling him ā€œMr President, follow my expert advice or millions of Americans will DIEā€.

Trump’s instincts were right: there must be treatments (there were); the ā€˜cure’ (lockdown) can’t be worse than the illness. But again, he had ā€œexpertsā€ warning darkly of mass fatalities.

He has opposed injection mandates, which is good. He should - of course - admit he was manipulated to get the mRNA to market. And he should admit their toxicity. Given his personality, he probably won’t. That’s clearly a FLAW - but as long as he continues to support bodily autonomy & certainly if he exits the WHO, he deserves support!

Neil, I'm sorry, I read the stats wrong - I thought you said 70% are ok with 2nd and 3rd trimester abortion. But honestly I trust Gallup as much as I trust the FDA, CDC, NIH or Fauci, because Gallup doesn't show what sample size or detail of people they polled, and liberal MSM relies on their legacy as the longest running polling organization to push a narrative. The typical sample size for a Gallup poll, either a traditional stand-alone poll or one night's interviewing from Gallup's Daily tracking, is 1,000 national adults with a margin of error of ±4 percentage points. I had to go dig for that because it's not in the link posted. I'm no statistician, but I can't believe they can actually scale a 1,000 person poll to the population of this entire country without pushing their own internal agenda (Gallup's CFO Taek is also a member of the "CFO Coalition Leadership Group for the United Nations Global Compact").

This will only buttress what was already happening, helping him to stay in the race longer, if it has any effect at all. Meaning, I don't see very many more people voting for RFK b/c of his VP pick, especially when they are so aligned politically and ideologically and she really brings nothing new to the table other than money.

I've been following RFK Jr. for more than a year, and he has been presenting himself as a center-moderate liberal.

I am one of those classic liberals (I often call myself a JFK democrat, which now make me a rabid, extreme right winger). With this VP pick, my guess is that almost all of those moderate conservatives and classic liberals will stick with Trump.

I was out walking and had a thought: it sure looks like somebody or some group within our system is deep stating the deep state. I mean, this is exactly what the deep state has done for 80 yrs or whatever. Triangulate out any real alternatives. Set it up so that no matter who wins the election, they always get their guy. W/Gore, W/Kerry, Obama/McCain, Obama/Romney, Hillary/Jeb. None of these were/would have been genuine choices b/w differing candidates. Same policies, different clothes and style. Trump threw a wrench in it b/c they didn't expect him to win by the margins he did.

But, it sure looks like someone is setting it up so that we now have 2 anti-establishment candidates triangulating out the establishment candidate. IDK, maybe I'm looking too hard at this. Maybe I'm nuts. But it seems like Trump and RFK just keep finding monetary and "official" "respectable people" support despite all the attempts to marginalize and remove them from the race.

I've admired RFK's anti-jab stance, but the rest of his policies have me as a hard "no". The VP pick pretty much secures that. I'm not really a fan of Trump's constant "the shots are YUGE!!!!" rhetoric as it shows a complete lack of understanding of his base, but the majority of his platform and past performance have me leaning that way.

I saw the blurbs about the Moderna combo shots on Twitter yesterday and ... hard pass. I'm pretty much out of the "get any shots" game unless there's some hard evidence that they're worthwhile. That may mean no missions work outside of the country, but I just can't trust the drug companies at this point. :(

Jeff C's avatar

Regarding Trump, he never publicly admits a mistake, that's just how he operates. We may see that as a character flaw, but for him it's part of a very successful system he has used over the course of his life.

Scott Adams explains how Trump uses "systems thinking" rather than reacting to every incident individually. He has patterns that he uses where he always reacts to specific types of events in the same, time-proven manner (such as how he attacks seemingly trivial figures that attacked him first). These often leave us shaking our head as we don't understand the reaction's logic in the specific incident. But that's because we don't understand his system.

I'm sure Trump admits he made a mistake to his kids when he does something in error, he's not evil. However he realizes that admitting an error or apologizing publicly is seen as an admission of guilt and is a weakness. This is particularly the case when his adversaries are acting in bad faith (which the left and Never Trump always are). He's smart and knows that you never admit being wrong to anyone acting in bad faith, as it will always be used against you. Apologies are reserved for those acting in good faith, of which there are virtually none in politics.

Once you understand this is how Trump operates, and it's a proven system and not just pigheadedness, his behavior makes a lot more sense. If he was out actively telling people to get more boosters or pushing mandates then I'd think about this much differently. But he isn't.

Thank you for sharing this. It seems spot-on IMO, from my own observations and from conversations with people I know who worked with him in the past. He's always thinking big picture. We also have to remember where he did a lot of his business: NY and NJ. IOW, he is pretty used to dealing with government overreach, unions, and of course, the mafia. Nothing would describe the current state of the US's bureaucratic machine better than to say it's a combination of government overreach, union grift, and mafia bullying. He knows how to work these people.

I have to laugh when people call Trump dumb. His style of speech is not "educated white collar professional," which is why people call him dumb. Basically, they don't like the way he talks, so they call him dumb. I see this trait of his as a plus, because frankly, it is mealy-mouthed educated white collar double-speak that got us into this mess in the first place. "Interconnected global trade relations" sounds a whole lot better to voters than saying: "we're going to take your jobs away from you and give them to people in other countries who will work for less and can work for less b/c their government doesn't yet cause their wages to be inflated by 100% or more with safety regulations." We need more straight talk. The media lies. Illegals are criminals. Etc.

As far as OWS/the clot shots: 1) he was the PR person for a business initiative. If someone has pics of him in a lab developing and testing the shots, please share. 2) He was lied to just like the rest of us. 3) He did not mandate anything, and he fought both masks and lockdowns. 4) He did what he thought was the right thing for his country in speaking for a program that delivered something nearly everyone was begging for.

We may not like it or agree with #4 above, but that was the case. The vast majority of people were begging for a "vaccine." Yes, that was dumb. No, they were not needed. Yes, people were fooled. Including people I know who are WAY more conservative than me. Doesn't matter.

Trump did his best to combat the fear porn by refusing to wear a mask, saying the virus wasn't that dangerous, calling for reopening, etc. But he lost b/c the entire information ecosystem, including current allies like Fox, X/Twitter, etc. were all in on the vaccines and all the "public health" measures at the start. Every time he said something rational (and true) he was called a murderer, with a literal death toll being shown on every news channel every minute of every day. So, maybe he's due a little grace considering he was the only accessible public figure trying to inject some reason and sanity.

Excellent point also that he brags about his role as PR person, but doesn't say people should go get more shots. That's a point I had missed and it's very telling.

RU's avatar

There's nothing helpful about refusing to take a position and then throwing rocks at everyone who at least makes an attempt. The people who don't vote "cause" all of this mess just as much or more than the people who do.

The main point is - I don't agree with you that Trump was "complicit." By your standard, every politician and business leader in the world was more "complicit." Every medical professional who called for "vaccine" development, administered them, or suggested patients take them was more complicit. Every individual citizen who demanded a "vaccine" or encouraged someone they know to take one was more complicit. Which amounts to...the vast majority of humanity. So, roughly 5-6B people are more responsible for this than Trump.

Because Trump tried to stop the panic. No panic = no "vaccines." Trump was pretty much the ONLY public figure early-on trying to calm people down, which would have helped the world avoid the "vaccines" altogether if they had listened to him. The advisors he chose advocated against panic, against lockdowns, and against masks. Taking their advice would have meant the "vaccines" may never have been developed, or at the least would have resulted in less uptake. Of course, they were all de-platformed and fired...

As always, the deep state used narrative control to drive popular demand to get its way.

Excuses. You can't excuse the greatest crime against humanity. He was complicit because he had to have known they were dangerous. That makes him one of the worst criminals of all time.

My take is that it's not really his job to do this. I think a big lesson - maybe the biggest lesson - of the Trump era is a reminder that we need to make our own decisions and not rely on government or "leaders" or "superheroes" for information or guidance. It was always true, it's just that many of us forgot. Trump helped remind us what liars they all are. All of them.

That said, I don't think that it would make a difference. I can tell you of the dozens of people I know across my extended family who are Trump supporters not one of them would or would not take the shot b/c of what Trump said. It hasn't affected their decisions to date. It's just not a consideration. They are adults making their own (sometimes poor) decisions.

And really, politically, let's be real...if he said 'they're poison, stop taking them,' what is that going to do for the entrenched PTB that own the media, the schools, the medical system? It's going to drive more lefties their way for shots. And they'll use it as ammo again to get their base excited. Like they did when he said masks don't work, and we ended up with mask mandates. Or when he said covid had an IFR below 1%, and they screeched it could be as high as 5%. Or, when he said reopen things, and they called him a murderer.

I think he's threading the needle just fine. Given what he's survived so far, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. He might just be better at politics than all of us here.

While this is infuriating, and self-inflicted, the second Trump backtracks on either, he will be absolutely crushed. After 4 years of ignoring and censoring the impact of lockdowns, and millions of vaxx injuries and deaths, the corrupt to the core media and social media platforms will pivot instantly to turn over every rock looking for anybody injured/killed by "Trump's vaxx" or harmed by "Trump's lockdown."

Occam’s razor: Trump has narcissistic personality disorder. People with NPD can never never never never admit that they are wrong or made a mistake, or even that they were fooled by others. It is not possible. In spite of this, I would much rather see him win over Biden. I wouldn’t write off Kennedy that quickly. I know work with plenty of disenchanted Republicans that seem undaunted by his VP pick. They admire her poverty to riches and success story. There are also more independents in the US than Democrats or Republicans. People who were all in for Trump never would’ve voted for Kennedy anyway. I also understand the gratitude of many Trump voters who credit him with picking the judges to overturn Roe v Wade. They are not wrong there. I bailed on the Dems (who now horrify me) and will be voting for a lot of Republicans. I constantly remind people that the Democrats were the pro slavery party before the Civil War, and that today it seems like the Republicans are the ones trying to defend the constitution However, I am no longer tribal. I feel the divisiveness in this country is toxic and killing us. And while we are drowning in this poison of animosity between the two parties, the globalists are around our next like a boa constrictor, and pouring gasoline on the fire. They love it when we fight each other. And fighting each other is even sometimes a form of addiction. That’s one of many reasons why I like Kennedy. I think that he is the only one who can protect us from the carnivorous agency capture that is devouring our health, safety and money. If he can’t win, I hope Trump does. Please understand that by saying this, my entire family would shoot me! Give me some credit here even though I probably just upset some of you. I respect all of you.

I'm not so sure I agree with that. The Bible does not tell us we must extend the same courtesies to those acting in bad faith that we do to those in good faith. Forgiveness follows repentance (a good faith act of sorrow) it's not automatic. Standing up to evil (a judgmental act that the Bible commands) is by it's very definition hostile and confrontational.

It's a complicated question that I don't fully comprehend. But going along with people acting in bad faith to make them feel better is why we now have some churches waving trans flags. Recall also that absurd Superbowl commercial which had Christ washing the feet of proud, unrepentant sinners. That's not the Jesus of the Bible.

Clearly there's a point where Christians are compelled to say enough. I'd say that refusing to apologize to people acting in deliberate, outright, bad faith falls in line with that.

So what are we going to do Tom, hang him in the public square? This isn't a rhetorical question.

He promoted the shot when he believed in it, and he took the shot himself if you remember. So why it may have been foolish, it wasn't disingenuous or hypocritical. And when the did the President of the US become people's personal physician? I have tremendous admiration for President Trump but didn't take the shot because I think for myself.

My former pastor (now retired) who is by just about every standard a great, sincere man also urged the congregation to take the shot. He did this because he had buried almost two dozen people from Covid deaths (it's a big church) and believed Public Health officials were acting in good faith. Of course he was wrong and I didn't follow his recommendation again because I think for myself.

I don't know what to tell you except that people are responsible for their own actions. And if anyone allows an experimental injection to be pumped into them because their president, pastor, or some other person told them too then they are fools. We all make mistakes and hopefully people learn from them but blaming Trump for people taking the shot is beyond absurd. Trump took the shot and recommended others also do it. They then made the choice, not Trump.

Yet people insist he do the sackcloth and ashes routine on this as if every single vax recipient didn't say "yes" and acquiesce. These purity tests are going to destroy our last hope to stop the Bolsheviks from taking over the country.

Turning loose a genetic code that takes over and integrates into our DNA wrapped in Lipid Nano Particles that shed & spread it everywhere to all life, perhaps, is the worst thing Humanity has done yet. Or "demons" if you believe in them.

The wonderful technology he keeps bragging about that killed as many as 500,000 Americans. That possibly GMOed the Human Race.

That causes heart attacks in the finest athletes and 40 year old fathers, turbo cancer, infertility, horrible birth defects, Autoimmunity and 9 pages of diseases & conditions.

This is Donald Trump's legacy.

Either he was in on it, he was too stupid to figure out what was happening, or he was blackmailed into submission.

These are the only three possibilities.

RFKjr is the only one in the race who didn't attack Americans through the Sars-cov-2/Covid Con.

Trump might not be as brutal as the Biden administration, but he did all of it to us first. Set the ball on the tee and Biden whacked it.

Kennedy’s climate policies involve moving away from big agricultural farming and moving back to regenerative farming, which improves the soil and improves the air. He’s not about banning cars or gas, stoves, or airplanes. he says we need to use a little bit of everything as far as power sources, although he is not fond of nuclear energy, because it is the most expensive to produce, and it leaves us with that very nasty radioactive waste, which we have no Safe way of disposing. he also wants to hold corporations responsible for toxic waste spills like that horrible East Palestine train wreck, and the companies that dump poison into our waterways, etc. He wants to hold the companies who are the criminals responsible for paying, not the taxpayers!

He is a wonderful environmentalist who has faced the most toxic industries aligned with government and succeeded at forcing compliance or accountability.

But he does still believe climate change is an existential threat. I don't believe that, or at least that CO2 is our big problem. Over electrifying our planet is much more dangerous, imo, & wind & solar are dirty in their own ways & unreliable too.

A total waste I believe and Bobby still thinks that they're good.

So it's the one place I personally really disagree with him.

But as others have said, it's unreasonable to think you will agree with anyone 100% of the time.

And maybe I'm wrong on this topic. It is complex and we don't know enough still to fully understand how our planet's climate swings function. I do believe that Valentina Zharkova may have proven solar cycles which control our cooling & warming periods very nicely. So there is that.

But on some many topics of critical importance Bobby & Shanahan are right on!

To clarify, RFK does not take an ā€œanti-jab stanceā€. He never has, and I don’t think he ever will. Here is an article I wrote a few years back, which sheds light on that.

https://www.ageofautism.com/2015/11/i-respectfully-ask-mr-kennedy-and-all-americans-these-questions.html

More recently, he has said he wants ā€œsafer vaccinesā€, and ā€œmore researchā€. Whose children is he suggesting for this research, whose pregnant wife, whose pre-teen, whose college student, and whose elderly parents? And on what is he basing his stance that humans need vaccines?

Note that he always inserts a caveat when making his vaccine statements, always leaving the door open for the continued use of vaccines, mandates, and government’s involvement in our personal healthcare decisions, for both ourselves and our children.

@Laura Hayes: Being ā€œanti-jabā€ does not exclude all vaccine technology. He advocates safely protecting humans from unnecessary suffering.

His voice for those harmed by unscrupulous clinical behavior has been a thorn in the Big Butt of Big Pharma and the yupsters in organized criminal medicine-without whom this crime against humanity could not have been perpetrated.

During my primary care training in 1985, the pediatric immunization schedule fit on one side of a 3x5 card; the next year on a half sheet of paper; then double sided sheet.

And the incidence of autism exploded. He has given a voice to those who can’t speak up.

In my ER residency, I watched an illegal immigrant die a slow, agonizing-for us, not her as she was sedated- death of tetanus. Totally preventable had she had an immigration medical clearance examination.

Lighten up on RFK2. He’s doing good things. He’ll hopefully have a role in President Trump’s administration.

I'm not convinced that's true.

The Phoenix's avatar

There is a difference between the emotional state of the disciples after the crucifixion and after the ascension 40 days post resurrection.

After the crucifixion, the disciples were afraid and full of doubt. Their leader who they saw perform miracles and stood up to the Jewish leaders was dead. They believed what he said and did not expect that unforeseen turn of their fortunes. Some probably thought of going back to the rabbis to beg for forgiveness and hope that they can be reintegrated back into Jewish life, although at a hefty financial and reputational cost.

What the resurrection and the 40 days following did is dispel that doubt. They knew concretely that their leader was different. He was right and the Jewish leaders were wrong. He was the true representative of the Jewish god and the Pharisees (Jewish rabbis) were not, and the fact that he was alive after he died showed them that the Jewish god is the most powerful and the true God among all gods. What they didn’t know was what to do next and how to do it.

For ten days between ascension and Pentecost they had the burden of knowing the truth and what they had to do but not the courage or the means to do it. ā€œYou will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earthā€ Acts 1:18. First start with the Jews, then the Israelites, then the whole world.

The Pentecost changed that. They had the courage and the means to fulfill that commandment. The filling with the Holy Spirit was not just an emotionally transformative experience. It was a complete rewiring of their brain with capabilities and a deep understanding of how to go about it. For example, the tongues they spoke were real languages that existed and spoken by nations. A reversal of the Tower of Babel. It also filled them with the determination to complete that mission.

In a way our mission is easier. What we seem to have forgotten is how to go about it and the determination to see it through. But the commandment stays the same: start with the Jews, then the Israelites, then the whole world.

As a woman I say to you- all women should have the right to terminate a pregnancy in the 1st trimester.

Many pregnancies are lost at that time, the brain isn't functioning yet, and, as men cannot be raped & made pregnant against their will, nor have they ever BEEN pregnant, birthed a child, or risked their lives to do so, I personally think they are unqualified to weigh in on the topic.

About that new platform. How many remember this CNN piece from October, 2019 - just months before we heard about a nasty flu in Wuhan:

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/11/29/health/universal-flu-vaccine/index.html

"But a universal flu shot would theoretically cover every strain of the flu using what’s known as an ice cream cone approach."

"Last spring, doctors at the NIH started testing universal flu shots on Sonn and other study participants to see how their bodies respond.

The research got an extra push in September when President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at developing a better flu vaccine.

Fauci said it could take less time – but still many years – to develop a semi-universal flu shot, which would protect against not all flu viruses, but rather a group of flu viruses."

"The faster and more precise method is not to grow the virus at all and instead just create the virus’ protein, he said.

ā€œWe clone the gene that codes for the specific protein we want,ā€ Fauci said. ā€œI don’t even want to see the virus. I just need the sequence of that virus, the genetic map of that virus. And you could send that to me by email.ā€

That’s the technology that’s being used to create the vaccines being trialed on participants like Sonn right now.

ā€œWe feel like we’re pioneers, and our volunteers are pioneers,ā€ Ledgerwood said."

A new platform. Email-able. New technology. Like mRNA. Using proteins. Like spike proteins. On the Eve (literally! - just two calendar days before the "first confirmed patient," which accounting for time zones was only one day before) of a global pandemic. That was managed to ensure the world's population was conscripted to become, "pioneers." Things that make you go, Hmmm?

Expand full comment
Freedom Fox's avatar

If you would like to read the CNN story as a case study in psychological priming consider the likelihood that the "volunteer" in it, Sonn, isn't a real person. Investigating the internet for him has turned up nothing. No trace. Hmmm?

And consider the strength of the story he tells. Of such a strong connection with a grandfather who purportedly survived the Spanish Flu with tales of horrors that exceed news accounts of the day and reviews of that event. Does it ring truthful to you? Is it convincing, could you imagine a conversation with your grandparent that was so impactful you'd be moved to make yourself a guinea pig for new technology injected into your bloodstream more than a century after that event? Or maybe it just rings as plausible to you? It could've happened, some person with odd quirks and values to you, but you imagine somebody could be moved to do?

Sonn's plausible story provides a character useful as a literary device to tell a bigger story. A story helpful to storytellers with an agenda. Like pharmaceutical companies developing the product that the story describes. Experimental. With risk and danger. But the cause illustrated as virtuous, compassionate, caring for others. Remember, "it's not about you, it's about others." A courageous act to be a test subject, if it fails then at least you help advance "science." To save others. Psychological priming.

The use of a character, a literary device, with a *plausible* story establishes empathy, a bond to the objective of the story. A face of someone who's trauma - related by a grandfather - is inspirational, the severity of a Spanish Flu-level pandemic (exaggerated or not) warranting sacrifice of self for a greater good. Which enables benevolent researchers...working for Big Pharma incentivized by trillions of dollars in profit...to invent protective miracle drugs to save the world.

With that psychological priming perhaps you'll be inspired to roll up your sleeve like "Sonn," a courageous volunteer doing his part to help others avoid the generational trauma he suffers from?

The CNN story of the brave "pioneer" Sonn is dated November 29, 2019. This next CNN story describing the timeline of the first appearance of the virus:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/30/asia/wuhan-china-covid-intl/index.html

"Tuesday, December 1, marks one year since the first known patient showed symptoms of the disease in the Hubei provincial capital of Wuhan, according to a key study in the Lancet medical journal."

"The Wuhan CDC later conducted retrospective research into influenza cases dated as early as October 2019 in two Wuhan hospitals, in an attempt to look for traces of coronavirus."

What are odds that the psychological priming story of Fauci's platform research would appear exactly two days before the "first known patient showed symptoms" of a disease his experimental email-able (spike) protein would become the miraculous cure for? The only way "out of the pandemic?" Research that needed more "pioneers" for?

Coincidence? Conspiracy? Which of those possibilities rings truest to you? Conspiracies are real. That's what RICO laws address, organized criminals conspiring to commit crime.

Not all criminals look like Al Capone and Carlo Gambino. Many wear suits and ties and work in corporate board rooms and government buildings. Including the White House and US Capitol. And State Capitols, City Council municipal buildings. And wear badges and black robes. And white coats. And run Big Media companies that tell everyone they're all protecting and serving us.
