Defend the children, Robert! Or cop to the fact that you’ve left a gigantic hole in that wall. On purpose. Because you don’t want to lose your Woke following of suburban soccer moms. Or for some other equally insane reason.
In a recent video interview1, Kennedy was pressed on children undergoing transgender treatments.
At first, Kennedy declared that children should not be allowed to receive these treatments without parents’ permission.
That seems to imply he would approve of the medical treatment as long as parents approve.
The interviewer jumps on the attack. Kennedy then says (amazingly, pleading ignorance) that he doesn’t know enough about the transgender drugs involved.
He repeats this for emphasis.
What??
He is either lying, or he’s kept himself from knowing on purpose, because he wants to be able to plead ignorance and avoid the issue.
Either way, it’s a disaster.
Kennedy’s own website, Children’s Health Defense (CHD), was founded on the basis of protecting children from harm, especially medical harm.
As far as I can tell, CHD has never seriously explored the child transgender issue.
Why not? Why has the site avoided doing wall to wall coverage on this vitally important subject?
Surely, its writers are capable.
Clearly, some policy decision at the top has kept the issue on a very low flame, or no flame at all.
Shi Zhengli is one of the PhDs. Known as “Bat Woman,” she is the primary gain-of-function (GOF) researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China and the recipient of multiple NIH grants. Another PhD is Lili Kuo. She proved you could weaponize animal pathogens by manipulating them to jump species.
RFK Jr asserts: a “bioweapons agenda has become a centerpiece of U.S. foreign policy.” He writes:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has authored a new book, The Wuhan Cover-Up and the Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race. Skyhorse Publishing released it two weeks ago including several pages of high praise for it by Naomi Wolf, Tucker Carlson, Peter McCullough MD, Dr. Joseph Mercola, David Stockman, and Alan Dershowitz, among others. His earlier book on this subject, The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health, published November 16, 2021.
Bobbie’s new book on bioweapons research stands on its own. It is an alarming and shocking read.
The book has 444 pages of text with 3,517 endnotes! Along with a Glossary and Index, it has a section titled “Cast of Characters” introducing 84 of the most noteworthy people discussed in the book. They include 32 PhDs, 14 MDs, 3 people with both MD and PhD degrees, and 2 U.S. Presidents (Nixon and Eisenhower).
Shi Zhengli is one of the PhDs. Known as “Bat Woman,” she is the primary gain-of-function (GOF) researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China and the recipient of multiple NIH grants. Another PhD is Lili Kuo. She proved you could weaponize animal pathogens by manipulating them to jump species. Two of the MDs in the Cast are, notably, Anthony Fauci, the now retired Head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID); and Kurt Blome, Nazi deputy surgeon general and bioweapons developer, before becoming a CIA scientist! Li-Meng Yah is one of the MD, PhDs. He is a Hong Kong University virologist who investigated the new COVID pneumonia circulating in Wuhan and claimed the Chinese government was hiding information.
Bobbie begins this book by noting menacing features of government and a rising technocracy that President Eisenhower warned us against, with Dr. Anthony Fauci and billionaire Bill Gates becoming the faces of the COVID-19 pandemic response. He writes: “I expose them as frontmen for a much larger enterprise: a military/medical-industrial complex driven by elements within the CIA and Pentagon.”
We’d suggest that the only way to thread that needle is with a set of sound planks on core economic policy matters that have present day political resonance owing to affiliation with historic verities of the two parties and/or association with man-on-the-street common sense. Our candidates for such exacting requirements are summarized below.
The economic policy of the bipartisan “uniparty” has been an abysmal failure. In fact, Bidenomics and Trump-O-Nomics are just two sides of the same deficient coin. They amount to the inflationary accommodation of powerful constituencies which have captured control of policy—-Wall Street for the GOP, domestic spending constituencies for the Dems and the military/industrial/intelligence complex for both.
The bottom line doesn’t lie, however. Real economic growth during the uniparty regime of Trump/Biden has averaged barely 2.0% per annum—notwithstanding an outpouring of monetary and fiscal stimulus that had never before even been imagined. Still, the economic growth rate since 2016 is just a fraction of the 5.0% average during the Kennedy-Johnson era and 3.5% under Ronald Reagan.
And, yes, these figures are more than fair comparisons because the results for the Trump/Biden era of borrow, borrow and borrow some more are currently overstated. That’s owing to the fact that there is still another recessionary shoe to fall.
So average in the impending six quarters ahead of negative GDP growth and/or stagflation and the uniparty will have achieved eight years of the weakest economic growth since WWII. And by a long shot at that when compared to the average growth of 3.2% for all presidents—good, bad and indifferent—during the seven decades between 1947 and 2016.
The cause of the problem is not mysterious. The Washington uniparty has become addicted to borrowing and printing. Between them, Trump and Biden have raised the national debt by nearly $13 trillion. That’s 40% of all the money that’s ever been borrowed by presidents since George Washington.
Likewise, the money-printing story at the Fed is actually worse, and neither POTUS has uttered so much as a cross word about the tsunami of fiat credit tumbling off the digital printing presses in the Eccles Building. Accordingly, during the last six and one-half years of uniparty rule the Fed’s balance sheet has swollen by $4 trillion. That’s 48% of all the money that’s ever been printed by the Fed since it opened its doors for business in the fall of 1914.
Needless to say, all of this egregious borrowing and money-printing has hit middle class America right in the economic solar plexus. Since December 2016 the smoothed CPI (16% trimmed mean CPI) is up by 24%. But where it really hurts main street is at the grocery store, with prices up by 27%, and at the gas pump and utility meter, with energy prices higher by 37%.
In everyday family budget terms, in fact, food and energy prices have risen more in the last 6 years than they did during the prior 12 years. Owing to all this cumulative inflation, therefore, real average hourly wages have risen by barely 3.5% since December 2016.
Inflation-Adjusted Average Hourly Wage, December 2016 to June 2023
Needless to say, the above depicted stagnation of US worker incomes did not apply to the wealth of the top 0.1% of households. During the same six and one-half year period, the inflation-adjusted net worth of the 130,000 households at the tippy-top of the economic ladder has gained 30% or nearly ten-times more than average real wage gains.
That is to say, the unhinged stimulus bacchanalia conducted by the Washington uniparty has showered the already rich with unearned asset inflation, buried future generations in unspeakable public debts and left the vast bulk of the electorate scrambling to maintain their standard of living in the face of the most virulent inflation in forty years.
Inflation-Adjusted Net Worth of the Top 0.1% of US Households, 2016 to 2022
Self-evidently, the time to abandon the inflationary and inequitable economics of the uniparty has long passed. Yet these baleful policies are rooted in the fact that both parties have been captured by powerful interest groups that are not about to part with the spending, borrowing and unpaid for tax cuts that have fostered the current economic mess. Nor is the Fed’s capture by the Wall Street gamblers and Washington spenders alike going to give way to sound money on the watch of the uniparty, either.

How embarrassing that this is the best the MSM has to offer…“Hannity is so blatantly stupid it is astonishing. Nothing in his brain beyond memorized bumper stickers.

He doesn’t have to be smart when the CIA is pulling his $tring$.
With Tucker Carlson out at Fox, what remains are the usual neocon “talk radio personalities” drawing large viewership at the network, namely Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, and some other lesser names. While long advancing conservative domestic policies and fighting the “culture wars”, their foreign policy messaging really hasn’t changed in decades—having more in common with George W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, Tom Cotton, or even Barack Obama.
So when someone with the ‘outsider’ views of the fiercely independent Democratic presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr squares up against someone like Hannity (who for years has donned a CIA pin while on air) in a one-on-one interview, fireworks ensue. That’s exactly what happened when the issue of Ukraine became a focal point during a town hall event Tuesday. It also didn’t take long for RFK Jr. to win over the crowd. Hannity wasn’t happy that RFK was “blaming America’s role in this” for the Ukraine crisis…
Kennedy Jr. focused his comments on exposing NATO’s role in pushing Moscow into a corner, given its historic expansion east and turning Ukraine into a proxy, but Hannity sought to interrupt him multiple times
“Because of our pushing the Ukraine into the war—” RFK had begun, before the Fox host interrupted with, “We pushed them into it or did Putin invade?”
“Well, let me answer your question,” replied Kennedy Jr., who then accused the U.S. of sabotaging the Minsk agreements in 2014 and 2015, which aimed to end the Donbas war yet largely failed to stop the fighting between Russian separatists and Ukraine’s armed forces.
“Putin, in good faith, began withdrawing troops from the Ukraine. What happened? We sent Boris Johnson over there to torpedo it because we don’t want peace. We want the war with Russia,” he argued, drawing applause from the audience.
Kennedy then harped on the clearly documented history of NATO expansion east,
On April 24, five days later, Fox fired Tucker, leading to speculation that Tucker’s willingness to give RFK Jr. a large platform was part of the reason for his dismissal.
And this is probably why RFK Jr. is such a thorn in the side of the Democratic establishment. He doesn’t play along with most of the big donors he’s supposed to play along with. He has watched the Democratic Party go from being anti-war, anti-corporate, and pro-free speech to being the party of lockstep conformity.
The OP has suffered a lot from deplatforming, as Daisy has documented. This has been very difficult financially, but we’re far from alone. One of the biggest public figures regularly getting shut down is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., an official presidential candidate. RFK is constantly getting banned and smeared as an “anti-vaxxer.” But is he really that crazy?
Some background on RFK Jr.
RFK Jr. was born famous and privileged, except, of course, for his father and uncle getting assassinated in his childhood. For a long time, RFK Jr. was best known as an environmental lawyer. He became involved in cleaning up the Hudson River in the 1980s as part of court-mandated community service from a heroin arrest. His community service inspired him to work with multiple groups dedicated to cleaning up the Hudson, and he eventually founded Waterkeeper Alliance in 1999.
His environmental hero status didn’t last, however. In 2005, he entered the vaccine debate after being contacted by parents of vaccine-injured children. Since then, it has been hard to find an article about RFK Jr. that doesn’t begin by describing him as an “anti-vaxxer.”
For about fifteen years, most people (myself included) were content to dismiss him and the anti-vaccine movement in general as cranks. I raised my children with all their shots, trusting the medical profession to keep us healthy.
Until Covid.
As the “two weeks to flatten the curve” turned into months and sometimes years, many people began to realize there was something deeply wrong with many of our formerly-trusted institutions. We saw businesses get shut down and livelihoods ruined. Decisions were not being made in the best interests of normal Americans, those who ran small businesses and relied on institutions like the public schools.
When the jabs came along, things got weirder. Natural immunity was totally ignored and the nation was expected to submit itself as guinea pigs for this treatment that had never been tested for long-term effects. When vaccine mandates began to be implemented, RFK Jr.’s advocacy for parental choice regarding medical treatments started to sound a lot more reasonable.
It became obvious that there was a lot of lying and manipulation going on. I became increasingly suspicious of “official” voices and more willing to listen to figures like RFK Jr. I bought his book, The Real Anthony Fauci, almost as soon as it was available.
I read the whole thing. All 492 pages detailing one scam after another. You may not agree with RFK Jr. on every issue, but no one can deny that he knows his material. And no one has sued him for libel or slander, which makes me think the book is mostly accurate.
The Real Anthony Fauci sold over a million copies and has more than 23,000 reviews culminating in 4.8 stars, yet garnered no book reviews from legacy media.
So, why are the Democrats so afraid of him?
On pages 142-142, RFK Jr. recounts going from a sought-after guest speaker whose articles were regularly featured in legacy media to a total outcast. His status changed abruptly once he turned from cleaning up waterways to pharmaceutical companies. However, he has deep pockets, he’s got the Kennedy name, and he hasn’t gone away.
As the public, in general, became more and more distrustful of the Covid response, people became more willing to listen to non-mainstream voices like RFK Jr. His non-profit, Children’s Health Defense, saw its profits double in 2020.
After The Real Anthony Fauci was published, Tucker Carlson hosted RFK Jr. more regularly. The two men had an interview on April 19, the day RFK Jr. announced his plan to run as a Democratic presidential candidate. On April 24, five days later, Fox fired Tucker, leading to speculation that Tucker’s willingness to give RFK Jr. a large platform was part of the reason for his dismissal.
RFK Jr. has been interviewed by the likes of Russell Brand and Jordan Peterson. Despite being endlessly labeled “crazy” and “extremist,” after watching him interact with a variety of hosts, he comes across as anything but.
The above audio is a shortened version of a video interview from a few weeks ago between author (and regular OffG contributor) Edward Curtin and lawyer/political activist Robert Kennedy jr.
Their conversation touches on many aspects of the CIA’s devious role in so many aspects of history, including its relentless lying attacks on the Kennedy family that go back decades, its assassinations of Kennedys, and its egregious character assassination of RFK Jr himself.
Kennedy’s recent book, The Real Anthony Fauci, has been ignored by the mainstream media because they speak for the CIA, as they have been doing for decades, and Kennedy is a great threat to their stranglehold on the truth. (You can read Ed’s review here.)
They discuss many issues: Operation Mockingbird, Anthony Fauci, Covid, Noam Chomsky and his acolytes, JFK, the CIA’s long deep involvement in germ warfare, the militarizing of medicine, and its pushing of drugs, etc.
This means that for thirty years there has been one-man monopoly control over virtually all public health-related “peer review.” This proves in spades what a clownish, lying, incompetent, corrupt stooge Fauci is when he responds to criticism with statements like “everyone I know agrees with me on this.”
I just got my copy of RFK Jr.’s The Real Anthony Fauci. Flipping through the first couple of chapters, one thing really stood out — that Fauci dispenses some $7 billion in research grants to “public health” researchers all over the world. He has held that position for 30 years. This means that for thirty years there has been one-man monopoly control over virtually all public health-related “peer review.” This proves in spades what a clownish, lying, incompetent, corrupt stooge Fauci is when he responds to criticism with statements like “everyone I know agrees with me on this.” Yeah, everyone who works for him and is paid by him, or wishes to work for him and be paid by him (with taxpayers’ money). This means that “public health” peer review is a joke and a fraud. No other profession in the world would be taken seriously if one single government bureaucrat was effectively in charge of all the professional publications in the entire field.
And what Fauci doesn’t control through government funding, other government bureaucrats at NIH and elsewhere do. They are Fauci wannabes in this corrupt, stinking, fraudulent field of “public” health. No wonder Dr. Scott Atlas, a real doctor and medical researcher, was so shocked at the immense incompetence he was exposed to while serving on President Trump’s COVID task force and sitting through meetings with dopey Fauci and that goofy scarf woman. He told Tucker Carlson that the two of them seemed 100% detached from and unaware of the relevant science and did nothing but repeat leftist lockdown/masking/you-must-obey/jab-every-child/shut-down-all-the-schools-and-churches talking points without even discussing any scientific basis for any of it.
