\u201cIt is neither our position nor our circumstances that define us, according to the Stoics, but our response to those circumstances; when destiny crushes us, small heroic gestures of courage and service can bring us peace and fulfillment. In applying our shoulder to the stone, we give order to a chaotic universe.\u201d \u2014 RFK, Jr.<\/p>\n

Of course, Yahoo News, and all the rest of the in-the-tank news media greeted Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.\u2019s presidential announcement by branding him a \u201cnoted-anti-vaxxer,\u201d as if that\u2019s a bad thing. Yes, noted, thank you very much. Reuters elaborated: \u201cKennedy has been banned from YouTube and Instagram for spreading misinformation about vaccines and the COVID-19 pandemic.\u201d By now, whenever you see the agit-prop platitude\u00a0spreading<\/em> misinformation<\/em>, does your brain not instantly translate that into telling the truth<\/em>? And by now, does banishment from social media not tell you that certain guilty parties recognize a truth-teller when they see one?<\/p>\n

Bobby Kennedy stepped up on Wednesday and gave a long and comprehensive speech so rich with historic resonance, intelligence, and flat-out bravery \u2014 in the face of, let\u2019s face it, a Satanic opposition \u2014 that he made every other figure in this land aspiring to high office within memory look like quality-control rejects from evolution\u2019s Homo sapiens<\/em> assembly line. For 90-minutes in a Boston ballroom, RFK, Jr. told America the truth: that its entire matrix of leadership has laid one trip after another on our country going all the way back to the murders of his father and uncle, and he did it plainly, gently, humorously at times, but with an unmistakable gravitas and decorum that must scare the beJeezus out of the low life-forms currently running things.<\/p>\n

Most of all, Bobby demonstrated that there is a way out of the bad-faith wilderness America has been lost in for years. He spoke to the audience in the ballroom, and to the country, in an adult conversational tone, without notes, as if he expected that voters would actually understand the problems we face: the wicked partnerships of corporations and governments to swindle and gaslight the public; the reckless military adventurism-for-profit campaign that has bankrupted the USA, now culminating in the Ukraine fiasco; the botched response to the Covid-19 episode and the chicanery that induced it; the insults to our ecosystem that are destroying the other organisms who live with us on this planet; and the financial chicanery that is driving America into inflation and bankruptcy. He reminded the nation of the good-faith efforts sixty years ago to end racial injustice \u2014 which has lately turned into a series of dispiriting hustles to promote antagonism and separation.<\/p>\n

Bobby\u2019s entry onto the national stage is already a shock to the political system, which is why the captive news media is trying so hard to squash the news about it. They know that he brings something to this game that can trip-up the players currently on-the-field and take the contest of 2024 in a wholly different direction than the owners of the game expected. Bobby\u2019s confident adult demeanor at the podium alone is a reassuring and sharp contrast to the spookish mental vacancy of \u201cJoe Biden\u201d and the egotistic childishness of Mr. Trump. Voters will not fail to notice the difference, possibly even Woke Democrats lost in vaccine raptures and other cultish transports of self-righteousness.<\/p>\n

I think RFK, Jr. sees very clearly the historical moment he represents. He\u2019s keenly aware of the shade thrown over this land by the murders of his father and President Kennedy, and he has said flat-out in so many words that our own CIA was behind the dastardly acts. He was in a position to know the animus between JFK and the founding director of the CIA, Allen Dulles, and the reckless blunders of the agency and its partners in the Pentagon who buffaloed President Kennedy into the Bay of Pigs farce and then tried to drag him deeper into the Vietnam quagmire. JFK resisted that, threatened to shred the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter them to the four winds<\/em>\u2026 and Allen Dulles whacked him. He got away with it the same way that today\u2019s Intel \u201ccommunity\u201d got away with RussiaGate and all their subsequent crimes. In short, Bobby Kennedy knows what it looks like when a government is at war against its own people.<\/p>\n

Everybody I know is justifiably worried that the Intel spooks might have no qualms about whacking Bobby Jr. He is at least as dangerous to the establishment today as his father and uncle were back in their day. Thus, his bravery in stepping up now, knowing what he knows. At the least, he will drag a set of issues into the political arena that his rivals would prefer to keep out in the cold and dark. He\u2019ll get some assistance from events themselves, which are spooling out fast now.<\/p>\n

The Neocon\u2019s Ukraine project had gone south. The result, which should be hugely embarrassing to our State and Defense departments, will be the paradox of Russia restoring order to a region that we wrecked on-purpose at great cost to the denizens of Ukraine \u2014 and, as Bobby pointed out, at great cost to the shattered American middle-class. America will also have to face all the criminal activities around the Covid-19 story: the machinations of Dr. Fauci and company in developing the virus and then the vaccines that proved to be so harmful and deadly; the stupid, disastrous lockdowns; and the government-directed censorship campaign against all and any voices in opposition to medical tyranny.<\/p>\n

Most of all, the Democratic Party faces a severe reformation. It\u2019s about to be dragged kicking and screaming out of the diabolical Woke hall-of-mirrors it gamboled into under the Clintons and Barack Obama. How those characters deal with the uncomfortable reality of RFK, Jr. will be something to behold. Finally, there is the news, straight from The New York Times<\/em>, that \u201cJoe Biden\u201d intends to announce his reelection plans within days. The idea is preposterous, of course, the old grifter visibly oxidizing a little more each day in plain sight of the whole world.<\/p>\n

In fact, it\u2019s just another one of their lies, another trip they\u2019re laying on America. The establishment Dems are actually prepping Gavin Newsom to run, another haircut-in-search-of-a-brain, like John Kerry before him. Governor Newsom: the man who almost overnight proudly turned California into a third world shithole. That\u2019s who Bobby Kennedy will be debating, one way or another, in the many months ahead.<\/p>\n
