RFK jr answered my last baffler about his Trump endorsement. Why does Bobby trust Donnie after having been Fooled Once? When offered a commission to investigate vaccine harms by the President-elect, Kennedy held a press conference to announce the offer.
Allying with the Orange Ogre as Holy Heretic infuriated “mainstream medicine, public health official, more than 350 medical groups. Bill Gates bragged he advised President Trump, ‘It’s a dead end. Don’t do that.’” + RFK was roundly condemned for his bipartisanship by liberal puppets as well.
Pfizer coughed up $1 million for President Trump’s inaugural balls- “best ones ever.” Commission conveniently whisked away. Trump’s HHS secretary came from Eli Lilly, and his FDA director went to Pfizer in the revolving Pharma/Regulator door. This fumble failed to expose Pharma’s innards to the light, and left Bobby the jester dangling.
President Trump slipped him a bone in 2017, ordering NIAID director Tony Fauci and NIH head Francis Collins to meet with Kennedy that spring. With Children’s Health Defense’ lawyer Aaron Siri, they demanded proof that any of the 71 “recommended “ childhood vaccines had been tested against placebo saline injections for safety.
Fauci blew them off, so they sued. By court order in 2018, HHS admitted they had none. They had never even submitted reports to Congress on improving safety of vaccines required since 1986, when manufacturers were given legal immunity from damages. These legal admissions were ignored by presstitutes, nothing but “perfectly safe and effective” served to the public.
This Second Fooling seemed superfluous. Speculation floated that Kennedy’d been offered cabinet member status as head of HHS, where he could gut the coils of corporate cobras wrapped into “public health” agencies.
No, it is to prevent World War III, Bobby recently declared, (secondary to Make American Healthy Again, Preserve Civil Rights and Decriminalize Zany). Would have wanted it in writing, but I’m wearing Blue and Orange. Nukular War makes all other issues pale in comparison or blush blood red in response. World War even without nukes, will eliminate Freeberty and Consumer Waste.
Crazy Commander staving off Nuclear Winter is a mutual strategy to prevent Nuclear War. Mutually Assured Destruction sounds like MADness, but worked for 70 years. Only a few really close calls (that we know of ), barely averted by political officers of the Evil Empire, and one by President Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brezinsky, its Polish nemesis. Nothing to lose sleep over.
Despite MAD not being broken, President Biden’s “geopolitical strategists” devised a new policy to fix it, using “low yield” battlefield nukes to “escalate deescalation.” Never asked whether Russia agreed to this manly duel of deuterium. Possibly, this new breed of military intelligence watched East of Eden (colorized), and identified with James Dean. No Stop Signs.
Scott Ritter explained the inexplicable, “the pre-emptive use of low yield nuclear weapons to ‘escalate to deescalate’— i.e., force Russia to back down through a demonstration of capability. But Russian doctrine has no capacity for engaging in a limited nuclear war. Instead, Russia would respond with a general nuclear retaliation targeting all of Europe and the United States.”
The Doomsday Clock is 90 seconds to midnight, but the Night Watchman is ignored like Henny Penney. One philosopher of ethics placed AI as one hundred times more likely to end human civilization in the next century than nuclear weapons.*
War games using artificial intelligence inevitably end in going full nuclear to the bitter end. (Maybe being trained on Youtube and Reddit gave it a cynical world view.) The philosopher was using the same yardstick as Medical Ethics, and AI was not thinking long term, because a few EMP’s ignited in the upper atmosphere would fry all electronic lack of intelligence, electric infrastructure and ethics in general.
Our military has reportedly spent billions “hardening " their electronics and electrical systems, while civilian equipment was left vulnerable, even though it would have cost a fraction of what Congress and Biden have allocated for Ukraine. They’re inextricably intertwined like Guns n Butter, so we’ll all go down with that ship.
Still can’t fathom Bobby’s faith in Trump’s ability to ward off World War III, but hopefully his gamble succeeds and we’ll watch the films. Mad Dog Donnie and Conspiracy Kook Kennedy Save Civilization. Marvel World Blockbuster. If not, then a Bitch Cassidy and the Dundance Kid remake. Same ending.
Luckily, I don’t live in a swing state, so I can vote for the real anti-mandate candidate and hope he’s right about Trump’s aversion to entanglement in foreign wars. Not sure if it will sway many undecided voters, they seem oblivious to the very real risks of a Much Wider War.
Trump didn’t start any new wars, only continued old ones, so there’s that. There was a scary moment when Donnie was taunting Little Rocket Man in N. Korea. Turned out his insults are Bromance Affection. Trump and Putin are more likely to kiss and make up. If Bobby’s calculus is only binary based, there’s triple whammies waiting. Chaos Calculus.
Obviously, the Obama/Biden/Harris neolib entourage, with paleocon Dick Cheney in tow, are itching to start WWIII with Russia, China and Iran as an Axis of Resistance. Trump would disengage from one front, but the Bear is now allied with the Dragon and whatever Iran’s mascot is ?
Trump’s bragging about ending the war in Ukraine overnight might wind back the second hand, but threatening to ‘blow Iran to Smithereens’ doesn’t engender confidence ratios. The self defense pact the Mullahs formed with the Czar over use of “unconventional” weapons would suggest otherwise. Belligerent crybullies seem determined to provoke Wider War beyond their Biblical Borders. Does Trump have some Secret Plan like Nixon in 68? China plays Go. US is stuck on checkers, even with Flying Kings.
What Me Worry? My existential angst from nuclear nightmares was cured with psilocybin in the 80’s, channeling a White Light caldera circling over Haleakala. Promised to turn plutonium to lead, render them into very heavy rocks. Duck and Cover just might work.
Donald’s pledges seem even thinner than those gossamer threads spun into a web of complacency about End Time. This Fool may need another Blue Booster to dangle from before I board this craft.
