RFK, like Ramaswamy, supports Israel, and the Israeli lobby will support him. That's American politics and war. It's also, irrevocably, hand-in-hand with supporting a prison called Palestine.
Everybody here knows how bad and fascist and cruel the Israeli’s are, and everyone pretty much wants to stop them and stop AIPAC and the Congress from arming them to teeth and defending them at the UN but you can’t do all that by yelling at them or calling them names or applying the famous purity tests that so many lefties favor. You have to talk to them, negotiate with them, persuade them. If you’re in office and known as a Jew hater—because that’s what they’d call Bobby if he opposed Israel and AIPAC—he wouldn’t be able to get any of the Congress to back him in trying to cut off foreign aid to Israel. I imagine the Palestinian’s would much prefer to have an impure but effective President on their side than a pure-as-the-driven wimp.
If an American can't get elected in America without support for and from the Israeli lobby, then its only participation in a fake democracy, and thus all candidacies are fake too.
Agreed, but RFK Jr quite weirdly injected "Zionism" into the conversation. You could tell that Jimmy Dore, who is never at a loss for words, didn't even know what to say when Bobby went on a sideways Zionist rant. Personally, I am looking forward to how RFK Jr's campaign evolves, and maybe the pro-Zionist stuff fades into the White Noise background,,,
Jimmy wasn’t at a loss for words on the topic; he couldn’t believe his ears. And as any adult should, he acknowledged he didn’t know enough about the topic to counter RFK and asked him to debate Max Blumenthal, who has written books on Zionism. Ofcourse RFK agreed then but reneged in the days following. Unfortunately (an otherwise smart individual) RFK has been captured/hoodwinked by the Zionist lobby.
Agreed. I think Jimmy was kind of shocked by how tone-deaf RFK Jr was to the room he was in. If nothing else, RFK Jr's probably cornered the market on the Evangelical vote. If the folks on his campaign team have any brains, they'll secure the rights to Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man" as campaign theme song. Jimmy did a nice job exposing Dr Cornel West, who I like in a way, but also see as an Ivy League intellectual fraudster.
Boy has Brother DCW been an utter disappointment. Another establishment shill in disguise. Or perhaps his blind spots are far too large for his own good. He should go back to his day job before he irreversibly destroys his cred.
"The most significant thing about all US presidents is not their differences, it’s their similarities.”
We are all very used to and accepting of the ability of Caitlin to summarise, accurately.
"The bureaucracy is very strong, and it is that bureaucracy that rules the world”.
It is also the bureaucracy that is corrupt, influenced (controlled) every day by politicians who, to get where they are today have sold their country short, accepting the daily dictates from the upper echelon of the bureaucracy, known as the Neocons, the fifth columnists. They made Iraq a war, voted for billions of dollars to be given to an apartheid state called Israel together with military support in all the Middle East attempted overthrows. Everyone knows this. It is fact.
These Neocons control America. Just one more fact that no one can deny. Until they are expelled as anti-American, foreign fifth columnists, nothing will change in the USA.
If you old enough and can cast your mind back to the days of good old Joe McCarthy and his un-American purges against Communism in the 1950’s, it is almost laughable how harmless his targets were then when compared to the well-funded, corrupt anti-American Israeli-controlled politicians in both houses.
But while the greatest majority of decent, loyal American are influenced through media propaganda but continue to accept any politician who has even the slightest connection to any Jewish political organisation, nothing with change in the “exceptional” USA.
Really? John Kennedy was the guy who singlehandedly prevented the war with USSR which the Deep state tried to orchestrate back then by way of Cuban crisis, and did not want to start the Vietnam war (another proxy war on USSR). He paid with his life for doing that. This "zionism" smear seems to be a way to discredit him.
Kennedy was the guy who pushed the Bay of Pigs invasion personally. Kennedy didn't even remotely begin to 'back down' until the Russians had already accepted FAR greater insults.
He was as much a lunatic as every other POTUS.
The Kennedy clan are very good at talking things up, but when the chips are on the table, they are 100% Establishment.
So far, I've seen little to indicate Jr is any better.
Can't deny I'd love to be proven wrong, and its not like I'm cheering the Black-Eyed Cabbage in comparison.
No, "Zionism" isn't a smear. As far as Jr has openly, repeatedly and loudly stated, Zionism is absolutely his core value.
It's very strange when western politicians seem to believe that an expression of loyalty to a foreign country is more important than their own patriotism.
I've lived in Israel, its not that special a country.
I'm pretty much an agnostic on the JFK thing, but a non-practicing atheist everywhere else. It's pretty clear that the CIA had Kennedy assassinated. RFK Jr is an open book, waiting for the Hand of God to write the next Scripture, or campaign instructions. Kucinich his campaign manager is also quite a religious fellow, and that's the crazy thing about American politics: Preaching (screeching!) from the Stump wins, more often than not. Not to go out too far out on a limb here, but I'll just say that Americans don't know their Politics from their Religion--which is why RFK Jr has more than a snowball's chance, despite his goofy fealty to Zionism, or a screed that in no way shape or form has anything to do with being Jewish...
From what I heard RFK Jr describing that, he was deceived during the Bay of Pigs incident and was disgusted when found out. Those people are really cunning. Kennedy "backed down" during Cuban missile crisis (which in reality was a Turkish missile crisis as it started with missiles placed in Turkey targeting Crimea where Khruschev had residence) because he was not a maniac and they (him and Khrushev) both agreed to remove their missiles targeting each other. We do not have people like him in the government now. They are all rabidly insane.
It's a good conversation to have. "Purity tests," on the other hand, tend to re-enforce people into silos, or echo chambers where no conversation, dialogue, really happens. Was JFK sincere, who knows? He obviously pissed off the CIA and paid the price. How did Allen Dulles, whom JFK fired, wind up on the Warren Commission investigation into his assassination? The mother-of-all-cover-ups, and behold: a Conspiracy Theory was born!
RFK Jr is running in the Democratic Party, do I need to say more? He CANNOT win, whatever he or his campaign does. Even if he were to win the popular vote in the primary the super delegates will hand victory over to whomever the oligarchs want as D's candidate. That is precisely why D still has super delegates; to stay in control over who the D's nominee will be.
You are sadly uninformed about the reality of Trump, RFK Jr, and EVERY decoy dangled in front of us, lying sincerely to dupe us.
Trump did basically everything the corrupt establishment wanted - sent weapons to Ukraine, did not stop the war in Yemen (which is NOT "Saudi-led", it is US directed as part of the multipronged US sabotage of the BRICS coalition), never intended to bring jobs back, his tariffs on China were just more of the US sabotage of BRICS, Trump also did not help Julian Assange but pardoned actual war criminals, and much much more. And never forget that his Exec Order fast-tracked vaxes AND helped remove exemptions!! Thst is because Trump knows the embezzling scam that vax companies, pharma companies, war companies, etc do, which the corrupt lying sociopaths named "privatization" and give us massive con jobs about so they can keep enriching themselves with FIAT government money.
RFK Jr also must know the embezzling scam plus know the decades of sham elections, controlled mainly by black box voting machines and scanners, yet he does not inform us. But his support for Israel and his support for vac mandates (if we can have "better safety") and his sidestepping of any real info about vax profiteers all point to him knowing the massive embezzling scam.
EVERY candidate is a lying, misdirecting decoy, whether they are coached stooges or intentional misdirectors.
I suggest you watch the 2006 documentary Hacking Democracy and then find the 1992 book Votescam by James and Kenneth Collier (Amazon, eBay typically both have copies available for may $30-40, absolutely worth it, that book definitely showed that both criminal gangs at the top are in on it). That book was going for $100-600 after the 2020 election, by the way, but my research machines and scanners was done in 2018, so I got a copy for a good price.)
Learning from those credible sources raises the question about why the powerful never mention them or the major problem they expose. My answer is that many of the powerful KNOW, just like they know about the embezzling scam and they buy stock and enable more embezzling and never tell the public. I believe Dinesh D'Souza knows, and his 2000 Mules movie was just another psyop misdirecting us.
I'll vote for him, but with the unhappy realization that, in the unlikely event he makes it to the WH, he will be forced to tow the line or else be assassinated.
Agreed but he's our only hope of any chance of change. If he was worried about assassination he wouldn't be running. Unfortunately the dnc won't even let him in the primary because we no longer live within a true democracy.
He is not for change, he is with the establishment. Sorry. Wanted mask mandates on public transport, says he would be for vax mandates (!) if we had "better safety" for vaxes, he is all in for Israel (criminal accomplice of the US sociopaths as they try to take over the Middle East), supported Hillary Clinton how many times(?), and does not inform us about the massive embezzling scam of "privatization" which motivates the corrupt sociopathic money ADDICTS to lie us into wars, do mass incarceration, push vaxes, design the electronic prison they are finalizing to subjugate us, etc.
Also, RFK Jr surely also knows the decades of black box voting machines and scanners that have made our elections a sham, and which both criminal gangs at the top are in on, yet he says nothing. smh
I researched in 2018, and there is info going back many decades about the major way they rig elections, which is via the "black box" voting machines and scanners that FLIP our votes. Earliest info I found was the 1992 book Votescam by James and Kenneth Collier, which had details going back to the late 60s (usually available on Amazon or eBay still). Also see the 2006 documentary Hacking Democracy. VERY important for us to know that our elections a charade and that we should boycott them, which removes "the consent of the governed" and can crumble a government. We need to crumble our corrupt uniparty, which is 2 gangs that PRETEND to fight each other while they collude to embezzle fiat government money, and perform theatrics to dupe, distract and divide us.
Sure RFKjr could be vocal about all those issues, but that would just alienate him more as a complete nutjob conspiracy theorist even more. It's obvious to me that the ENTIRE government and esp federal agencies need to be shut down or rebooted, but how do we achieve it? (hopefully you don't say .rump because he already failed).
"Save America, vote for the next smooth talker." Fuck that! Establishment narcissism doesn't change. Trump, Ramaswamy, RFK - none angels, none for human rights, all against Palestine... but our best shot at injecting chaos into American politics, like a vaccine towards destruction and its accompanying truth. Politics is war made for TV. Let the show begin, let the rest of the world begin thereafter...
US Bureaucracy and federal agencies are out of control. I feel RFKjr would have best chance of ending the war if elected.
He's a Kennedy clan.
None of them are anymore anti-war than Trump or Obomber. Incl Jr.
"Realism" will click in once the votes are counted.
Politicians LIE.
The only truth he speaks is that he will support Zionism with his last breath. Eerything else will be negotiable with the Imperial management.
I'm sorry, but what is the relevance of Zionism in THIS conversation (I honestly have no clue of the connection)
It tells you whose side he is on. If someone is complicit in occupation, ethnic cleansing, apartheid.. It doesn't bode well for other policies.
Baloney
RFK, like Ramaswamy, supports Israel, and the Israeli lobby will support him. That's American politics and war. It's also, irrevocably, hand-in-hand with supporting a prison called Palestine.
Everybody here knows how bad and fascist and cruel the Israeli’s are, and everyone pretty much wants to stop them and stop AIPAC and the Congress from arming them to teeth and defending them at the UN but you can’t do all that by yelling at them or calling them names or applying the famous purity tests that so many lefties favor.

Who cares if it’s all fake. It takes a fake to catch a fake. We love fakes. It’s still better than a doddering old war monger.
weak argument
What Tony succinctly said. (it would have taken me several paragraphs).
Agreed, but RFK Jr quite weirdly injected "Zionism" into the conversation.

I doubt it. Given RFK Jr.'s recently exposed positions on Israel/Palestine. Chris Hedges lays it all out in his recent article, "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - The Israel Lobby’s Useful Idiot" https://chrishedges.substack.com/p/robert-f-kennedy-jr-the-israel-lobbys?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=778851&post_id=135969438&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email

RFK Jr's son is a machine gunner in Ukraine, and his daughter-in-law is CIA. He has said the CIA is not all bad, hahahaha.
