Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced his candidacy as an “Independent” rather than as a Democrat. This is a political mistake and will only serve to further marginalize him and the issues he has been talking about.
RFK Jr. was always going to be a sideshow. He has been a crank for years, a climate-change maniac, an anti-vaxxer before it was cool to be an anti-vaxxer, a death-penalty-for-the-Koch-Brothers enthusiast, and the only person on earth who believes the 2004 election was stolen from John Kerry. Then he was absolutely correct, from the first moment, about everything concerning the COVID madness and the deadly mRNA vaccines. (That’s why I like him.)
The problem is that NOBODY wants to talk about the COVID security state or the vaccines or the masks or the mandates or the lockdowns or the school closings. The Left doesn’t want to discuss that stuff at all, and only a small percentage of conservatives want the architects of it held responsible in any way. There are just too many people on both sides of the aisle who never objected to shutting down churches, forcing an experimental drug into hundreds of millions of arms, silencing dissenters, and destroying the lives of anybody who objected.
This is why he has been largely ignored by the government-run media to the extent possible. As the only real Democrat officially running against Biden, and because of his famous name, he can’t be ignored completely. People ladmire Kennedys, or they are fascinated by Kennedys, or something. So his campaign gets some news coverage. He is just not allowed to talk about politics, or his views.
But as long as he was a Democrat, his name would be on the ballots in Democratic primaries and he would get a certain number of votes and those results would be reported. And IF he happened to get a significant percentage of the votes somewhere, speculation would arise over Biden’s popularity, and how enthusiastic Democrats were about the ancient drooling fool, and maybe something interesting would happen. Maybe Democrats would dump old Joe. Maybe somebody else on the Left would run. Maybe RFK Jr. would get some opportunity to speak to the electorate.
But removing himself from the Democratic “field” and declaring himself an Independent will make it possible to ignore him completely. And that’s what the Leftist media will do. He may wind up getting one or two or three percent in the general election, like dozens of other irrelevant candidates have done, but his views will never break through. The COVID crimes of Fauci and Biden and Trump and Newsom and Cuomo and a thousand others will never be discussed.

In an interview a couple weeks ago, Maryan Zablotsky of the Ukrainian Parliament was asked about the state of the world and the problems he faces, and he described the enemy of mankind as an “Axis of Assholes.” The phrase stuck with me. Bush’s “Axis of Evil” always made me feel like we were giving the monsters too much credit.
You know who they are without me telling you. There’s Putin, of course, and Xi Jinping, and Kim Jung-un, and the ayatollahs and a dozen other excrescences, and they don’t all work together on evil plots and they probably don’t agree on much and they don’t often plan things together, but they will cooperate if they can get away with it because death and destruction and genocide and prison camps and pain anywhere in the world is not only good for business, it’s something that seems to make them feel good inside. And since they have nothing that normal people would call morals, there’s only a limited number of ways you can deal with them. You can scare the crap out of them or you can kill them. Of course, that doesn’t stop idiots in our government or other governments from trying to negotiate with them or appease them or buy them off.
And now there’s Hamas and Hezbollah and a bunch of others. There’s room in the Axis for them too. There’s always plenty of room. We forgot about them for a while because they were quiet for so long, but now they’re not quiet anymore.
And why should they be? Putin does what he does and we stop drilling for oil so he will even get rich from doing it. Absolutely no one cares about the Uyghurs in the Chinese prison camps. Kidnap people’s kids in Ukraine? In Israel? Why not? Exactly nobody is worried we will show up and make them stop. Ever.
I wonder what it feels like to live in Taiwan these days.

Dr. Peter McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist, and a professor of medicine at Texas A&M College of Medicine in Dallas. He also has a master's degree in public health. He is one of the most-published medical researchers in the United States and is the editor of two medical journals.
He has been a consistent critic of COVID vaccines, particularly the mRNA vaccines.
Because he is so often asked to summarize the evidence regarding mRNA vaccines, he posted the following statement of facts on a website he often contributes to.
Note of Concern to Colleagues
As of August 25, 2023, the CDC has recorded 18,015 deaths reported to them in VAERS by healthcare professionals or pharmaceutical companies who believe the vaccine is related to the death. Approximately ~1100 deaths have occurred on the same day of vaccination. The largest autopsy study published to date indicates 73.9% of deaths after vaccination are a direct cause or significantly contributed to by COVID-19 vaccination. There are >3400 peer reviewed manuscripts in the medical literature concerning fatal and nonfatal COVID-19 vaccine injuries including those recognized by regulatory agencies around the world such as myocarditis, neurologic injury, thrombosis, and immunologic syndromes. The World Council for Health, June 11, 2022, has produced a pharmacovigilance report which is factual, scientifically grounded, and consensus driven calling for global market withdrawal of COVID-19 vaccines based on lack of safety. Dr. Peter McCullough, a widely regarded expert on COVID-19 and vaccine safety, on December 7, 2022, in the US Senate, and on September 13, 2023, in the European Parliament, has called for, with expert panels, removal of all COVID-19 vaccines from the US and EU markets for excess risk of death. On March 21, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons issued a factual, scientifically grounded, and consensus driven statement calling for all COVID-19 vaccines to be removed from the market based on lack of safety and efficacy. The National Citizens Inquiry, a Canadian citizen-led and citizen-funded organization chartered to investigate governments’ COVID-19 policies, on September 14, 2023, called for market removal of all COVID-19 vaccines. These observations and sources of evidence indicate the COVID-19 vaccines are not safe for human use. No large-scale, conclusive, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have demonstrated reduction in infection transmission, hospitalization, or death as primary endpoints. Thus, the COVID-19 vaccines are not proven to be effective in reducing important clinical outcomes.
Please consider these developments if you have taken or supported COVID-19 vaccination.

“Everybody is basically the same.” “People are fundamentally good.” “Everybody wants pretty much the same things.”
How often have you heard people say these things?
They are simply not true. There is evil in the world and there are people who do not think the way you and I do. It is easy to forget that, but it is dangerous to forget it. Our safety and our well-being and even our lives can depend on seeing the reality of the world, though it can be very unpleasant to do so.
About ten years ago, a book came out (followed by a movie), called “Gosnell: The Untold Story of America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer.” It concerned Kermit Gosnell, an abortionist is West Philly who, for more than twenty years, performed hundreds of late-term abortions under squalid and dreadful conditions. Some women died. Late-term babies were routinely born alive and then murdered with a blade to the spinal cord. State authorities intentionally overlooked Gosnell’s activities because they did not want to provide political ammunition to anti-abortion groups.
It was not fun to read that book, or to see the movie, but I forced myself to do it. It had nothing to do with the nuances of pro-choice or pro-life politics (which frankly do not much interest me). I did it because we must occasionally remind ourselves that people like Kermit Gosnell exist, that things normal people regard with horror are not regarded with horror by everybody, and that, yes, evil exists in the world and it will win if good people do nothing.
Go find the images of the Hamas attacks in Israel beginning on October 7. Look at the broken bodies, the slashed bodies, the bodies lying in the streets, the bodies burned beyond recognition. Look at them. The pictures are still available on the internet though they are being scrubbed by Hamas itself or by others who initially took pleasure in seeing and celebrating them.
At this moment, the “Politics of the Middle East” is not the point. There will be plenty of time for “The Politics of the Middle East.” What matters is the horror, the pain, the lust to exterminate a group of humans, the glee in administering that death and mutilation and destruction. What matters is the evil.
See it. Know it.
