While a dwindling MSM pulls out the tired, failed tropes of "anti-vaccine nut job", they will soon learn their old tactics of misinformation and unfounded ad hominem attacks will cost them further
Yes, both the NY Times and the L.A. Times had hit articles on Kennedy yesterday. The las t time the NY Times printed one of my letters to the editor was in November of 2002. It was about Eli Lily and autism. Of course I just wrote another that will never be published.
A good reminder now to tell those who want to vote for Kennedy in next year's primary-there are about 9 states that require a voter to be a registered Democrat to be able to vote in the primary for Kennedyso one needs to check his/her state to see if that needs to be done in plenty of time before the primary arrives. His speech last night in N.H. on foreign policy was brilliant.
I haven't see it posted yet. However You Tube just shut down his amazing interview with Joe Rogan. Will they shut down all his speeches now? If I find last night's speech I'll post it here today for you.
every video they take down just makes people curious about what they're being denied access to. forbidden fruit is a basic concept of human behavior since the dawn of man. you'd think the government would have figured that out by now.
i had never heard of IVM until the government started telling us all that it was horse paste and completely ineffective. of course, i started looking into it. even the NIH website says that it has anti-viral properties!
my rule of thumb- if the government is pushing it, it's probably best to avoid it or at least, to take a wait and see attitude.
if the government says something is quackery, it's probably very effective, safe and cheap
Robyn Openshaw did a post on 'black salve', which she uses (as did her mother and grandmother) to destroy early skin pre-cancers. Checked it on NIH--must not use! especially must not use for skin cancers! Well, that told me all I needed to know. And it's made from bloodroot, which I grow.
Could you please give an example of a download browser that you consider to be of quality. Being able to download videos is now starting to seem essential. I am still learning tech and of the pre computer generation. I will be grateful for any hints.
Also, for anyone who hasn't discovered it. I learned from others about a "download plugin" called "Print Friendly" . It allows me to download written material and to easily erase pictures and other unneeded information. Then it also becomes possible to print quality information and to save it. It's been a huge bonus in this age of learning via the internet and computer.
Thanks--very helpful. Teaching in the 2019-2021 years provided moonshot doses of tech info--but so much that there was no time to really learn the tricks--so it's all gone now.
Consider following his Substack https://substack.com/@robertfkennedyjr. The speech in NH from March is posted there. As others have noted YouTube is taking down some of his interviews but Twitter is letting them stay.
just listened to the FANTASTIC Rogan conversation on Spotify. Spotify does NOT fuck with Rogan - they know better! RFK jr stated in the convo that Rogan has 100x's the audience of CNN. Screw YouTube! they are irrelevant because we can make them irrelevant.
I live in Oregon and all the Dems are full WEF. WEF is installing a Fascist Totalitarian State.
Biden is WEF, he was given the "no one knows the 4th Industrial Revolution more" by Klaus. His positions on open borders (death to America) and the Petroleum industry (death to billions) is all one really needs. But there is much more, example Camps that are like small cities are being built in many states to house young men of fighting age coming into the country. We are talking 100s of thousands. This is not a new technique, most Totalitarians have used this technique to collapse societies.
Truth is, and I include myself here, 90 percent of Americans will be dead in 3 to 5 years. Biden is a murderer. Enjoy, if you voted for him.
Very few Oregonian exceptions. Nearly all I'm acquainted with are fully woke. NPR, OPB, etc. have them fully in their grip. Even though Oregon has very high covid jab uptake, I can't however say whether they'll be dead in 3 to 5 years. Mal sehen. (Could be "lots" of saline or otherwise innocuous or near-innocuous lots.)
I owe Toni Bark an eternal debt of gratitude for helping my firstborn recover from the disturbance of his immune system caused by the 4- month slew of vaccines caused AND thus helping open my eyes not only to the dangers of these unnecessary vaccines, but also the larger issue of why and how pharma (and the healthy system) operates. Thank you for mentioning her contributions!

My all-time favourite headline, which today might well be the lead story in the New York Times, was in that National Inquirer. Headline was "Survivors of the Titanic Found Floating on Iceberg"; they even had a picture, with guys in massively long beards, everyone had on raccoon fur coats and the like; and they had survived by drinking water from the iceberg they were on and catching fish. I almost fell over in the grocery story aisle when I read the cover story.
The fasco-Marxist left fake news back to their usual. with Kennedy. In fact, word on the street shows a poll taken by the lamestream leftist media Nov.2022 STILL has Hilary ahead of Donald Trump by 10 points! Actually, perhaps not such a joke, as back before that election…there was this gem: Survey finds Hillary Clinton has ‘more than 99% chance’ of winning election over Donald Trump. Similarly, in 2016 before the election, the Princeton Election Consortium found Ms Clinton has a projected 312 electoral votes across the country and only 270 are needed to win cited from https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/sam-wang-princeton-election-consortium-poll-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-victory-a7399671.html
In fact, their fake news goes back hundreds of years.. such as the Great Moon Hoax, published in the New York press beginning Aug. 25, 1835, where supposedly Sir John Herschel, one of the most famed astronomers of the time, purportedly stated he discovered life on the moon. He was “not available” to the public at the time, so, just like the fake news of today, they got away with it…. for a while. And of course, there was the media-flogged Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894 (shades of Al Gore, whose predictions, many would aver, are filled with the same equine droppings ) where London was absolutely, scientifically sure to be buried under 9 feet of manure within 50 years.
Around the same time as the Great Horse Manure Crisis, the media also solemnly informed us – and put on official maps - all about the massive Mountains of Kong in Africa, made by John Carey in the 1800s fake news, extending eastward to the equally non-existent Mountains of the Moon. Except that they didn’t exist either. Back then, the goal was to sell newspapers (or start wars, like William Randolf Hearst and the sinking of the battleship Maine in Havana Harbour, or the sinking of the Lusitania, both quite likely also fake news, flogged to get us into a war we had no business getting into). Also in the early 1900s, honest journalists like Upton Sinclair and George Seldes called out media corruption, and even back then how they were owned by big business and dealing dishonestly with true investigative reporters… which these types then updated to, say, the dismissal of Tucker Carlson in 2023 for asking too many honest questions. But, as Mercola noted, “to be effective, there needs to be central coordination of narratives, and that’s where public relations agencies come in. Few appreciate the power that these companies have. Two-thirds to 80% of the content broadcast and published by corporate media comes from public relations firms, so most of the so-called “news” is actually brainwashing propaganda
Other common PR tools include “public protests,” which are actually made up of people hired by the PR company, and media will of course be sent there to cover it, and front groups, which are paid by industry to promote a particular view that benefits that industry.” Michelle Stiles reviews some of the basic tools of propaganda in her, “One Idea to Rule Them All: Reverse Engineering American Propaganda.
when i was a little girl, my mother always used to tell me that russian newspapers were propaganda but we here in the USA had a FREE press. to which i would reply "i'm sure our press is just propaganda for our government the way the russian press is propganda for their government."
i think i came out of the womb skeptical and cynical!
Ha ha I love this! Every time my MIL brings up Putin she talks about how no one in Russia will take him out because they don’t know what’s really going on. It’s all I can do to keep from rolling my eyes 🙄 😆
The truth is, as Charleton Heston wrote, “Modern media fills the cultural airwaves with a mist of anesthesia, so that principles and values are slowly desensitized to the coming onslaught. The new culture arrives on the heels of this propaganda. It simply moves in and takes over, like slipping a fine new glove over a numbed hand. The outcome of the war is just as devastating, but without bombs bursting, twisted bodies to bury, or rubble to rebuild. A new class, a different culture, simply takes over.”
But let’s look at specifics. Going all the way back to NY Slimes Pulitzer Prize winner Walter " I don't see no stinkin' starving kulaks in Stalin's Ukraine" Duranty (perhaps around 5 – 6 million were starved to death by Stalin in his Holodomor) to Lincoln "I have seen the future in Stalin's USSR, and it works" Steffens to fake Nobel Prize winner Rigoberta Menchu, accidentally outed by another leftist, to another NY Slimes wunderkind, fiction writer Jayson Blair, who resigned in 2003 after he was outed for stories—some front page—that were fabricated or plagiarized, to Dan "I found a memo!" Rather, to Brian "I was shot down in a helicopter in Iraq in 2003" Williams, and the list goes on and on and on... such as Walter Cronkite telling us (regardless of how you felt about its rightness) that the Viet Nam war was being lost during the Tet offensive, while at the same time North Viet General Giap admitted later on in his memoirs that all was lost unless the American public was lied to and told they were losing, to Mikey Isikoff /Newsweek’s infamous May 9, 2005 issue that cited some “unnamed source” saying the Qu’ran was trashed at Guantanamo – and was later proven false, but not after many were killed in the rioting that ensued overseas (“no matter if people die… as long as their political ends are met, right?).
And speaking of fake Pulitzer Prize winners, how about good old Janet Cook and here fake story in the Washington Post, Jimmy’s World. Duranty would be jealous! And speaking of 9/11, don’t forget the famous – and utterly idiotic – tweet from the NYT that said “Airplanes took aim and brought down the World Trade Center.” This tweet was so intellectually vapid it deleted it shortly after. (Reminiscent of “guns kill people” articles… as if guns grow legs and fingers, and run around shooting people with no human operators. In the early 1900s — literally a century ago — journalists like Upton Sinclair and George Seldes were discussing the corruption of the media, how they were owned by big business with a profit agenda, and how they were not dealing squarely with investigative reporters.
This came alive to me while visiting the state capitol of Illinois, where there is a “Remember the Maine” plaque. Of course, the Spanish American war was pretty much made out of whole cloth by William Randolf Hearst, which even fake news purveyor PBS recognizes, stating “ The Spanish-American War is often referred to as the first "media war." During the 1890s, journalism that sensationalized—and sometimes even manufactured—dramatic events was a powerful force that helped propel the United States into war with Spain. Led by newspaper owners William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, journalism of the 1890s used melodrama, romance, and hyperbole to sell millions of newspapers--a style that became known as yellow journalism… Hearst understood that a war with Cuba would not only sell his papers, but also move him into a position of national prominence. From Cuba, Hearst's star reporters wrote stories designed to tug at the heartstrings of Americans. Horrific tales described the situation in Cuba--female prisoners, executions, valiant rebels fighting, and starving women and children figured in many of the stories that filled the newspapers. But it was the sinking of the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor that gave Hearst his big story--war. After the sinking of the Maine, the Hearst newspapers, with no evidence, unequivocally blamed the Spanish, and soon U.S. public opinion demanded intervention. Today, historians point to the Spanish-American War as the first press-driven war. Although it may be an exaggeration to claim that Hearst and the other yellow journalists started the war, it is fair to say that the press fueled the public's passion for war. Without sensational headlines and stories about Cuban affairs, the mood for Cuban intervention may have been very different.” Would that PBS and its ilk recognize that they, themselves, are continuing in the un-fine tradition of Hearst, et al.
Upton Sinclair is worth reading, enjoyable as well. Arrowsmith (big med)/ The Jungle (big food--esp the meatpacking industry). Like many sci-fi writers of mid 20th C, his earlier 20th C books are quite relevant today.
The glory of all of this is the longer they classify him as an anti-vaxer the more it plays into his favor! As each month passes they are facing more and more difficulty burying the truth regarding the deaths and injuries from this injections! A while back there was a poll that stated something like 1 in 20 people know someone injured or murdered by these shots! When all is said and done EVERYONE will become an anti-vaxer which will catapult him into office! The irony and beauty of all of this is that they're doing all the work for him when in actuality he's NOT anti-vax but rather a staunch advocate for safe vaccines!
Look at the rapid mental decline of Biden since he was allegedly injected! How about Diane Feinstein and her serious bout with Shingles - yet another side-effect! I personally can't wait for Christie to pop his clogs - he's gotta be vaxed up the wazoo - add in his morbid obesity and the heart damage they cause! I predict he'll be another one who collapses on-air!
Gonna be pretty hard to deny the upcoming deluge of continued deaths! I personally know of 20 people and every day I hear of yet another who had a stroke OUT OF NOWHERE!!
Side note on Christie--I cannot understand how in 9 years he could not lose the weight which makes him unhuman. And clearly being not competent to control his own eating; health, he is not competent to be in charge of a country.
I don’t think the Dems have too big an appetite for science, logic and reason. I’m currently in a Reddit debate. The subject: a bunch of card-carrying Dems arguing with me that Peter Hotez should not have to debate RFK Jr because RFK is “unqualified.” Meanwhile, there people are debating me whom they consider a whack job. The hypocritical ego self-protection is palpable.
makes me crazy that those who use the cop-out of 'he's unqualified' or its somehow beneath them to debate RFK, CLEARLY have NEVER read a word he's written nor listened to a single real interview or speech! ZERO primary source information; they just parrot the party line. there are very few people on this planet who know more about mercury than RFK. the man can quote research all day long. he also has a massive brain full of 20th century history. Hotez is a complete and utter weeny, chicken shit to debate a paper bag, let alone RFK. pfffft.
James: I happened across the two links above - posted by an independent economist named Martin Armstrong. Truly worthy of the valuable time of your readers to watch.
If you voted for Joe Biden in 2020, did you vote to send dirty nuclear bombs for military weaponry for use against Putin in Ukraine?
FYI Biden voters: On June 13 the WSJ reported the Biden administration will approve sending “Depleted-Uranium Tank Rounds” for the M1 Abrams battle-tanks given to Ukraine. When fired from the 120mm M1 Abrams cannon, the depleted-uranium armor-piercing ammunition will have a range of 2.5 miles. The M1 Abrams battle-tank is one of the most powerful ground weapons in the U.S. arsenal. The Biden administration will provide Ukraine with depleted-uranium cannon rounds following weeks of internal debate about how to arm and equip the Abrams battle-tanks the U.S. has given to Ukraine.
Most depleted uranium arises as a by-product of the production of enriched uranium for use as fuel in nuclear reactors, spent nuclear fuel rods and in the manufacture of nuclear weapons. Depleted uranium is a chemically toxic and radioactive heavy metal, attractive to weapons designers because it is extremely hard and can pierce armor. Conversely, when used in battlefield conditions, the radioactive cannon shells are literally “dirty nuclear bombs”.
I posit that it is a crime against humanity itself - for the Biden Administration to send dirty nuclear “radioactive cannon shells” to Ukraine; If you doubt this, go to Google Images and type in “depleted uranium Iraq” and look at the pictures that come up when George W. Bush was POTUS.
If there is any group of the American people that should be opposed to the military industrial complex and the warfare state, with its suppression of civil liberties, imperial presidency, government propaganda and interventionist foreign policy; it is the American Christians. Especially conservative, evangelical, and fundamentalist Christians, who claim to strictly follow the dictates of Holy Scripture and worship the Prince of Peace.
What should one expect from Big Pharma's 5 billion in fruad fines, & leader in iatrogenic/ "medicine" caused Death??? (see the Johns Hopkins iatrogenic [low-ball] iatrogenic study, claiming 3rd place @ only 250,000 annual Deaths! OR the well cited book, Death by Medicine, by Dr. Null, claiming first place @ 800,000 deaths annually! God help us!
Wonderfully stated, James!!!!! And, thank you for all your hard work!
Yes, both the NY Times and the L.A. Times had hit articles on Kennedy yesterday. The las t time the NY Times printed one of my letters to the editor was in November of 2002. It was about Eli Lily and autism. Of course I just wrote another that will never be published.

Thank you for that. There are tons of plugins these days.
Best thing to do is search for "(browser name) plugins to download youtube videos". It shouldn't matter what operating system you're using.
For instance, if you're using firefox, you do a search for "firefox plugins to download youtube videos" and one result is this URL:

Do you have links to where we can read about these camps (Torjan Horse more or less) opening up so we can share that information with others? Thanks.
Were I you, I would look into what may be currently going on in the closed-down army, air force bases in your area.

Excellent article and terrific data, as always.
RFK, Jr. has high integrity, courage and intellect. He can't be bought or corrupted. I admire and respect him.
Democrats don't want a man like him in office. They want corrupt puppets like Biden, Harris, Newsom, Walz, Whitmer ands others like them.
This is a great resource.

During the 1890s, journalism that sensationalized—and sometimes even manufactured—dramatic events was a powerful force that helped propel the United States into war with Spain. Led by newspaper owners William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, journalism of the 1890s used melodrama, romance, and hyperbole to sell millions of newspapers--a style that became known as yellow journalism… Hearst understood that a war with Cuba would not only sell his papers, but also move him into a position of national prominence. From Cuba, Hearst's star reporters wrote stories designed to tug at the heartstrings of Americans. Horrific tales described the situation in Cuba--female prisoners, executions, valiant rebels fighting, and starving women and children figured in many of the stories that filled the newspapers. But it was the sinking of the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor that gave Hearst his big story--war. After the sinking of the Maine, the Hearst newspapers, with no evidence, unequivocally blamed the Spanish, and soon U.S. public opinion demanded intervention. Today, historians point to the Spanish-American War as the first press-driven war. Although it may be an exaggeration to claim that Hearst and the other yellow journalists started the war, it is fair to say that the press fueled the public's passion for war. Without sensational headlines and stories about Cuban affairs, the mood for Cuban intervention may have been very different.” Would that PBS and its ilk recognize that they, themselves, are continuing in the un-fine tradition of Hearst, et al.
Upton Sinclair is worth reading, enjoyable as well. Arrowsmith (big med)/ The Jungle (big food--esp the meatpacking industry). Like many sci-fi writers of mid 20th C, his earlier 20th C books are quite relevant today.
I was not equating him with sci-fi writers--simply the time line is pertinent
The glory of all of this is the longer they classify him as an anti-vaxer the more it plays into his favor! As each month passes they are facing more and more difficulty burying the truth regarding the deaths and injuries from this injections! A while back there was a poll that stated something like 1 in 20 people know someone injured or murdered by these shots! When all is said and done EVERYONE will become an anti-vaxer which will catapult him into office! The irony and beauty of all of this is that they're doing all the work for him when in actuality he's NOT anti-vax but rather a staunch advocate for safe vaccines!
Look at the rapid mental decline of Biden since he was allegedly injected! How about Diane Feinstein and her serious bout with Shingles - yet another side-effect! I personally can't wait for Christie to pop his clogs - he's gotta be vaxed up the wazoo - add in his morbid obesity and the heart damage they cause! I predict he'll be another one who collapses on-air!
Gonna be pretty hard to deny the upcoming deluge of continued deaths! I personally know of 20 people and every day I hear of yet another who had a stroke OUT OF NOWHERE!!
Side note on Christie--I cannot understand how in 9 years he could not lose the weight which makes him unhuman. And clearly being not competent to control his own eating; health, he is not competent to be in charge of a country.
I don’t think the Dems have too big an appetite for science, logic and reason. I’m currently in a Reddit debate. The subject: a bunch of card-carrying Dems arguing with me that Peter Hotez should not have to debate RFK Jr because RFK is “unqualified.” Meanwhile, there people are debating me whom they consider a whack job. The hypocritical ego self-protection is palpable.
That sounds like some fun !
makes me crazy that those who use the cop-out of 'he's unqualified' or its somehow beneath them to debate RFK, CLEARLY have NEVER read a word he's written nor listened to a single real interview or speech! ZERO primary source information; they just parrot the party line. there are very few people on this planet who know more about mercury than RFK. the man can quote research all day long. he also has a massive brain full of 20th century history. Hotez is a complete and utter weeny, chicken shit to debate a paper bag, let alone RFK. pfffft.
Occasionally use this quote. “ You have a right to be wrong.”

If you voted for Joe Biden in 2020, did you vote to send dirty nuclear bombs for military weaponry for use against Putin in Ukraine?
FYI Biden voters: On June 13 the WSJ reported the Biden administration will approve sending “Depleted-Uranium Tank Rounds” for the M1 Abrams battle-tanks given to Ukraine. When fired from the 120mm M1 Abrams cannon, the depleted-uranium armor-piercing ammunition will have a range of 2.5 miles. The M1 Abrams battle-tank is one of the most powerful ground weapons in the U.S. arsenal. The Biden administration will provide Ukraine with depleted-uranium cannon rounds following weeks of internal debate about how to arm and equip the Abrams battle-tanks the U.S. has given to Ukraine.
Most depleted uranium arises as a by-product of the production of enriched uranium for use as fuel in nuclear reactors, spent nuclear fuel rods and in the manufacture of nuclear weapons. Depleted uranium is a chemically toxic and radioactive heavy metal, attractive to weapons designers because it is extremely hard and can pierce armor. Conversely, when used in battlefield conditions, the radioactive cannon shells are literally “dirty nuclear bombs”.
I posit that it is a crime against humanity itself - for the Biden Administration to send dirty nuclear “radioactive cannon shells” to Ukraine; If you doubt this, go to Google Images and type in “depleted uranium Iraq” and look at the pictures that come up when George W. Bush was POTUS.
If there is any group of the American people that should be opposed to the military industrial complex and the warfare state, with its suppression of civil liberties, imperial presidency, government propaganda and interventionist foreign policy; it is the American Christians. Especially conservative, evangelical, and fundamentalist Christians, who claim to strictly follow the dictates of Holy Scripture and worship the Prince of Peace.
What should one expect from Big Pharma's 5 billion in fruad fines, & leader in iatrogenic/ "medicine" caused Death??? (see the Johns Hopkins iatrogenic [low-ball] iatrogenic study, claiming 3rd place @ only 250,000 annual Deaths! OR the well cited book, Death by Medicine, by Dr. Null, claiming first place @ 800,000 deaths annually! God help us!
