I like to think that many people who are supposedly on the right and who have never questioned vaccines or germ theory or other progressive machinations are going to suffer a lot as all the massacres of these years unfold and they are forced to confront what they never wanted to see.
We have to come to terms with the fact that obeying the anti-human left is what enables genocide. Or, in another words, that if the rightists want to gain power they need to start disobeying the left and develop a realistic alternative to the welfare state. This means, among other things, that the people on the right need to stop pretending that there is any virtue in obeying mandatory public education laws, vaccine schedules or the income tax.
So good to read this, I have been listening to RFK Jr since around announcement of running and really prayed, let this not be another corruption. I agree whole heartedly with you, though I am in Ireland I am excited by what is happening in US. During this whole thing I have found community virtually and have shared in the global dread - so happy to share in the hope now.
Our collective moment in time is masterfully captured here in broad beautiful strokes. Something powerful is stirring. Something really is in the air that’s newly forming, becoming conscious, binding us together, leading us to a place that we cannot know. I’ve been riding Bobby’s coattails these last few years beginning with his electrifying speech of defiance and resolve in Berlin in 2020. It’s been a magical carpet ride and hearing him reference over and over again historical events and personalities that I have known in my lifetime has produced feelings of nostalgia and deep sadness for all that has been taken away and all that might have been. Bobby Kennedy is principled, courageous, fundamentally decent, and already leading by example. We have our President, and I pray he is given an opportunity to fill that role.
I’m in Canada and I cheered for Trump and can see the collective forces that openly betrayed the American peoples’ choice in him .. so I worry about the fervor for RFK, Jr ..only in that it brings to mind that ‘beware false prophets’ message … but I think you’re right about him, though.
Trump brought out the spirit of the American patriots; RFK, Jr is bringing out the Reserves… Americans are recognizing that they need to be in it for the long haul. For all of us.
I loved this piece. Boy are you a writer who can take us from genuine despair to genuine enthusiasm and joy, I love that range of expression, rare in journalism, even very rare. Your candidness is a gift for us all.
Is the "secret government" that was referred to by JFK real ? I think the evidence supports this idea. Perhaps it's just not RFK Jr's belief or strategy to talk about such things. Nothing can be solved without dealing head on with the cabal/DS infiltration of our institutions and society in general. I want RFK to enunciate this as much as I want Trump to start enunciating his position on what happened since 2020, the health stuff on which RFK is light years ahead.
I really enjoyed RFK's recent interview with comedian Jim Breuer (on Breuer's rumble channel) - it was largely about RFK's life, animals, children etc. Who knows if there will even be an election in 16 months from now given the reality of the behind and in front of scenes situation in the US and globally....but bless RFK for bringing new hope out of such a dark, oppressive phase.
While he doesn't use the phrase "secret government", he hasn't been shy about calling out the CIA's role in both assassinations, so he's shown the courage to rattle the Deep State cage.
I too am caught up with the RFK Jr movement. He really doesn’t represent the current Democrat party of BLM, ANTIFA power grabbers or over the satanic moon about men dressing in women’s clothes. So supporting him is not like Obama who sold his soul to the big pharmaceuticals for 10 pieces of silver. For the first time since his uncle John Kennedy I actually support a Democrat. Maybe it’s in the cards. JFK was killed on my 6th birthday and even weirder his younger brother Bobby was killed on my younger brother’s 6th birthday June 4th. Maybe it’s in the cards.
I am watching the Kennedy show with great fun in Europe. I feel that I am in the back of the bus with Robert and all Americans as they rediscover that there really was nothing to fear except fear itself. Ultimately, I think pharma-capitalism really did try to take over our souls and persuade us that only it could save us. And this in the land of Walt Whitman! Clearly, there is a noisy minority lost to status and ambition who don't understand what is happening all around them. But I don't think they are more than 20 percent. I love how Kennedy - helped by a bright generation of discontented and unsatisfied Americans - is making it clear that it is those lost to fear who are now the extremists. America remains America! How could it not? And all those of us who love it are wishing you well!
Haha Chris Hedges, who I've listened to since he calls out war and economic issues, sniped at rfk Jr recently. Hedges is promoting Cornell West which he got into the green party.
Now onto their hypocrisy...
Hedges avoided questioning the 911 official story, yet criticized the response. Since then, I've been a bit annoyed about him, but figured maybe he was just afraid...
He also went along with the official covid story and the jabs, and barely said a thing about those even nowadays. So, he's just a coward, raised in the academic system.
Still, a civil rights issue should have been one of his top points!
Cornell West is another guy that didn't question 911 or the covid story or the vaccines.
In a recent interview he still pretends like there's not enough evidence?!
My girlfriend thinks that they're just educated morons. I am agreeing with her. Not evil, but dumb enough to not even look into the information and instead follow medical group think.
The essayist Edward Curtin wrote that Hedges, Chomsky, etc. suffer from a lack of imagination. I saw Hedges host a half hour show with John Kiriakou solely devoted to the foibles and evils of the CIA: in the last two minutes they brought up Nov. 22, 1963 and "chuckled" at those positing CIA involvement. Regarding West, he's on video praising "Brother Fauci" in late 2020 and hasn't retracted anything since. Hell, didn't Joan Baez pen a song praising "the brother?"
Perhaps "Bio-freedom" advocates are now a step closer to understanding why freedom is the answer to everything. It is the answer in this case, as it is the answer in all cases.
As a Progressive pre-pandemic, freedom just wasn't part of my consciousness. I've had a lot of catching up to do, schooled by my brothers and sisters of the Right.
" . . . the esprit that runs through his uncle, his father, and him."
Celia, when referencing RFK Jr's uncle, I think it's worth clarifying that you mean the former President and not The Lyin' (sic) of the Senate, Uncle Teddy.
Still, 2 big problems for me personally: Climate change (old comment saying deniers should be jailed) & his spouse (Hollywood connections & her influence on their personal life, ie asking party invitees to be vaxxed). Both these items have numerous citations & sources.
Yes... I agree with you on these two issues. My hope is that regarding climate change, he is talking about big business polluters and not the average person. In regard to his wife, I wonder about that too! I get the impression that she is way to the left and he is more to the center. Hopefully he will rub off on her!!
Agreed, on clamping down on big biz pollution & not lecturing the average Joe & Jane to buy an expensive electric car. On the wife: Hoping maybe she'll just stay on the sidelines, like Melania Trump. Forget to list 3rd big problem: RFK Jr's alliance w/Dr Robt W Malone. Many see him as a hero of the 'Medical Freedom' movement; my opinion differs. Old enough to remember where I was when JFK was killed. He's the first president I actively took an interest in - a handsome & dashing hero w/a gift for inspiring people.
Very inspiring! Thank you Celia! I would add: RFK Jr. gets every nuance of the formation of his uncle John F., & that includes a VERY healthy dose of Joe Kennedy's formation within the "America First" matrix, a movement that has largely been erased from the annals of history & the curriculum of the last 60-70 years. That would include historians like Charles & Mary Beard, Harry Elmer Barnes etc. That would include the massive sentiments AGAINST Woodrow Wilson's globalism & the US entrance into WWI & it would range from Eugene Debs on the so-called left to many on the so-called right. RFK Jr. understands this background, I would say, in his very marrow—he also points out things in his uncle's public behavior at crucial points that are never highlighted or simply forgotten. In his speech the other day at St. Anselm's in New Hampshire he spoke about how JFK gave speeches at a crucial moment in the Cuban Missile Crisis & spoke about the kind of losses the Russians had undergone in WWII, in order to halt the Nazis, how that victory was also their victory, & RFK Jr. compared that to today's rhetoric of demonization. So yes, there is something in the air...
Thank you for cutting through all the mud-slinging that wants us to take down the most important public voice right now. You state the moment's significance so beautifully and thoroughly.
I think he is a good and honest man and pray for his safety.
Huge post. Thank you.

She's right. I sat out the Chris Hedges craze 6 plus years ago. Friends were emailing me his pieces and telling me was EMERSON. I said nothing.
The essayist Edward Curtin wrote that Hedges, Chomsky, etc. suffer from a lack of imagination. I saw Hedges host a half hour show with John Kiriakou solely devoted to the foibles and evils of the CIA: in the last two minutes they brought up Nov. 22, 1963 and "chuckled" at those positing CIA involvement.

I would rather disband government, than ask it to solve the problem of itself...
;)
Perhaps "Bio-freedom" advocates are now a step closer to understanding why freedom is the answer to everything. It is the answer in this case, as it is the answer in all cases.
