Why RFK Jr.?
Why is someone the Corporate Media is calling 'crazy' getting an audience? Here's why:
One of the many fallouts of this past Nov 5th Presidential Election is the rise of RFK Jr. Many columnists and the commentariat itself are trying to figure out why, if the Media Elite Laptop class is calling RFK Jr. “crazy”, why aren’t the regular people thinking, doing, and voting the way they’re told?
Why won’t they listen!?
is my favorite NYC political writer. I’m a paid subscriber. His latest column investigates the RFK Jr. phenomenon, and why democratic voters gravitate toward him, even with his connection to President - Elect Trump. His take is a good one. It’s also gutsy as he travels in democratic / left leaning circles - and he’s a freelance writer. While less a factor now than previously, he runs some risk of cancellation. I don’t, which is why I have always written whatever I please.I added my two cents with this comment:
“What the laptop class seems to not understand is the that they tell people, through outlets like MSNBC (Maddow) and the NYTimes (Science! reporters) that once you get the vaccine, COVID is stopped in its tracks and you can't spread it. They also malign, belittle, and slander those who question such stark statements. THEN, when it turns out that Regular People's distrust of Big Pharma was correct and doing our own research bore fruit ... they say nothing. Has anyone been called on the carpet? Any forthcoming apologies? Any contrition whatsoever? No. Anyone remember the Biden administration's holiday message of "severe illness and death" for the unvaxxed?
I do.
While the Park Slope, UWS and UES Latte Laptop class sees the unwashed working people of all races and creeds as mouth breathing goblins who don't know how to use the internet or get a driver's license, they should now understand that we do know that if we see the dumpster fire of wrongness about the COVID vax, we then might spend some time looking a bit further into the vaccine industry ... and then wonder why they can't be sued. We might look into why the number of autistic children has skyrocketed to something unrecognizable as recently as the early 2000's.
Why can someone slip and fall on a snowy day in front of the bodega and then sue the owner into oblivion? How come we can't have see saws or merry go rounds at playgrounds because those devices and their manufacturers have been sued into bankruptcy? Yet we see what's happening at the local daycare and grade school and no one is allowed, through social pressure, to simply ask about vaccines? Why not? And then Big Pharma is legally immune from prosecution? What? Why?
The whole thing isn't that tough to see, but as the clapping seals in the Corporate Media, and their unthinking followers on social media continue the same off kilter drum beat, people like RFK Jr. will get a hearing. He doesn't yell at people or insult them for asking questions about the vaccines or Big Pharma, and we can see what he is seeing. It's not that complicated.”
Further proof. This is a screenshot of the once boring but competent NPR’s take on the RFK presidential run last year:
If you’re tired of seeing your teenager staring at the phone, wasting time, perhaps you can get him or her to stare at the phone … and learn something useful.
I have a $14.99 eBook, Audiobook, and presentation bundled here. I’ve vetted the entire thing myself, during my last few years as a teacher.
