[B]RFK Jr. pushes conspiracy theory that COVID spared Chinese and Jews in resurfaced videos[/B]

chico's buddy................

What he’s saying: In a resurfaced August 2020 video from a press conference in Germany, Kennedy described the pandemic as a “part of a sinister scheme” that was “planned from the outset.” Although he admitted lacking evidence to prove his theory, he said it was created as “weapons of obedience for authoritarian regimes.” In those same remarks, he also compared the health response to COVID-19 to Nazi Germany testing “vaccines on Gypsies and Jews,” calling it a “biosecurity agenda” that would “enslave the human race.” In another video filmed in Huntington Beach, California, in June 2021, he claimed the pandemic was created to impose “totalitarian rule” through “psychological warfare” orchestrated with the aid of CIA experts.

Why it matters: Health experts have expressed concern over Kennedy’s nomination. Speaking to The Bulwark, Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, warned that “if you put someone who is so easily susceptible to conspiracy theories in charge, it can only spell disaster for the American people.” Meanwhile, Paul Offit, a pediatrician and virologist at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia who serves on the FDA’s vaccine advisory committee, believes Kennedy is just a “conspiracy theorist who has no evidence for his conspiracies other than the fact that he believes them.”

Gotta admit, the draining the swamp mantra always made me laugh when Trump and company were and are generally exponentially swampier than what he is purportedly targeting.

It is an ugly quagmire. I am not calling it an oligarchy but the cabinet being filled with billionaires and media personalities is definitely out of the playbook.

[quote=Chico23231;1368866]Is Bernie going to support his nomination?[/quote]

I think so. I want to hear questions in his hearing about pertinent topics. Increased transparency between corporate contracts and the government, reduced prescription prices, having insurance cover outdoor recreation, as wella s how he plans to handle vaccinations and fluoride, how will he regulate raw milk fetc. What I don't want to hear about are bears in trunks, brain worms, and affairs with reporters.

I think if we hear reasonable answers and thoughts to policy Bernie will support his confirmation even with some reservation.

Nonniey, you know Trump first campaign chair by Paul Manafort? Manafort and his lobby firm created the swamp. Manafort sent a lot of neocons in to the halls of power. But trump ran and won as an outsider. Much of the outrage of Hegseth, Oz, RFK jr…these guys aren’t sitting on lobby boards or corporate boards…the fear is the money will dry up.

And any criticism of Manafort by Democrats, sit the fuck down. They laid the framework for Podesta Group and many others liberal groups.
