Nicole Shanahan has vowed to end the careers of the two Democrat senators from Georgia who she helped get elected if they vote against Kennedy. For any given solon she can probably outspend Big Pharma and Big Food. A couple months ago Trump allies were putting it out there that Musk will fund a primary against Republicans who vote no. This is a pivotal vote. If Congress is so corrupt, so outright evil that it can't vote in favor of children's health, and Americans are too oblivious to notice, then this country is hopelessly, irredeemably lost.

If Trump doesn't dump CIA Psy Op Musk and Swampy soon,we will being darker trouble than under China Joe.

Musk is the original wolf in Grandma's bed,and Swampy is the wolf in Sheep's Clothling.

Musk made money from the Death Jab and publicly promoted it until he didn't.He still bans people for posting truth,he is a WEF alum and so was his first censorship chief at X.

He will not allow criticism of Trans.Someone recently wanted to "correct "me on that,saying he has a trans kid.

What a genius! How do you suppose it came about that the world's richest front man's kid was transed?

I can tell you this...it wasn't because of a public schoolteacher's manipulation behind Musk's back.

He, like Bill Gates,is a Generational Luciferian,he is not a good guy or a free speech absolutist or anything like that.

The most effective propaganda is that which passes unnoticed.

Elon Musk is a frightening individual and gives me the heebie jeebies. There is something not right with him. I believe he is evil. Why does a man who has more money than god want to work in a government agency? The answer? Power. Lust for power. He has everything money can buy, except, power. People like this are the ones who should be kept as far away from the levers of power as possible. The dude is a godless, evil man.

Funny about Musk. Why would he change the name "Twitter" to "X"? The ancient symbol for Nimrod was "X". It also denotes witchcraft. When people use X as in "X-Mas" it really means celebrating the feast of Nimrod. Of course, the double X has always meant to mean double cross or betray. Nimrod was a butcher and his penchant for evil and Satanic practices was unequaled in ancient history. Strange times we live in.

Yeah, Musk scares me, though on the trans kid thing he was supposedly so outraged when he realized that the boy had been completely destroyed by the process that he moved his company offices out of California. Let's hope Trump is suitably suspicious, and in the meantime just gains the benefit of anything useful Musk does -- like cutting government waste and helping good nominees be confirmed -- regardless of his long-term objectives.

I couldn't agree more with your assessment of the Kennedy's. I'll never forget the day JFK was murdered. My 3rd grade class was sent home early. It felt like the world became very quiet. My dad came home from work early and as we were watching TV, a picture of Oswald came on the screen. My dad looked at me and said "Oswald didn't shoot the president." He was right, Oswald didn't shoot the president. I often wondered how he knew.

Expand full comment

Some researchers in social psychology have noticed that children of the very rich have the same outcomes in many cases as children of the poor. They looked for reasons and found some commonalities in the way rich and poor kids are raised:

1. Constant change of caregivers whether parental partners, low-paid daycare workers, or nannies. Either way, the change is hard on kids.

2. Lack of adult supervision, the poor because they may work long hours and be unable to afford quality care, the rich because parents have busy social and work lives and think it is okay to leave their kids alone because they live in a save neighborhood and being alone teaches kids self-reliance. Or else they are foisted off on indifferent caregivers.

3. This article about Ethel Kennedy reinforces the above points. She was emotionally and often physically MIA. People might look at her offspring and think "spoiled rich kids" but really they were neglected rich kids.

My take is not theoretical.I was a latchkey kid in the early sixties.At 8 years,I had my own key,and ate TV dinners when I came home for lunch that I wore pot holders to retrieve.

My Mom walked to her secretarial job through winters in Michigan to Dave bus fare to hand me as my allowance,so I would never be tempted to steal.

My classmates were children of Doctors and Lawyers and executives .

I was the only well raised one of us,and I was independent and self reliant.

My close friend was the son of factory owners with three branches in three countries. Among his childish antics as an adult were neglecting to close the gate on his horses,and them trampling the golf course and causing many thousands of dollars of damage,taking his collection of exotic birds into his shower for a steam bath ,a ten thousand dollar loss.

Once,we were parked in front of the library his Grandfather built at the local university,drinking beer and smoking pot.

A local cop rolled up and demanded ID.As soon as he saw the surname,he began falling over himself,apologizing for his intrusion..It was disgusting.

Many children of affluent people end up becoming assholes, or, at least people who are unable to cope with reality? Why? I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they don't learn the same life lessons that those who have to work for everything would learn. Being born into a wealthy family is a curse in my opinion to those children. They grow up feeling entitled and better than everyone because of their birth but in reality they have done nothing to earn it. Deep down I think these people know this. That's why so many of them turn to drugs, debauchery and can't maintain a long term, healthy relationship.

Humans weren't designed to have so much wealth and prestige. They can't handle it.

I was in the 2nd Grade, to all you older folks, Catholic school, Sisters of Notre Dame teachers.

I was seated on the hall side of the room with windows, I watched a nun walking down the hall crying. She came into the room and announced to the entire class that JFK was dead. Our teacher began to cry as well. There was not much class after that and I do not remember if we were sent home or not. Just too young and do not remember any more details.

I truly hope RFK Jr is confirmed as HHS Secretary. Personally, I believe Trump owes the election (maybe) and the popular vote (surely) to RFK Jr and Tulsi Gabbard coming over to his camp and making not only a strong endorsement but a true partner type commitment to his agenda. This debt will drive Trump to call in markers within the Senate. Let us pray.

Breaking news: the MSM is now saying it looks like RFK Jr will be confirmed! Good news, indeed. Is he part of the Trumpenstein project? Probably. It's pretty clear he has a handler and they have secrets about him that they use to steer him, when the need arises...but just the public perception of him at the top of government making health decisions is a HUGE win. I have been very worried about a brewing bird flu scamdemic. With RFK in charge, if it happens at least people will not be so cowed as last time ...fighting back with results will be possible.

Watching the despicable screeching harridan Elizabeth Warren attack RFK was stomach churning. She must have extremely powerful supporters to keep getting away with her corruption for so long. An example: her illegitimate claim to be Indian (I use that term because the "Native Americans" I've known say they prefer it) resulted in a genuine Indian losing out. For at least 20 years there have been several groups of Indians publicly calling out and shaming fake Indians. Why have they never raised a stink about Warren? It was White conservatives who made the stink.

I saw Caroline Kennedy making a public condemnation of RFK Jr. She is really looking aged these days. Who knows what she has been threatened with...but it shows in her face. Has she been terrified of being murdered her entire life? The statement about the blender is pure fantasy. People who raise raptors feed WHOLE critters. In one case the owner of an owl got dead whole mice from a lab (the owl ended up dying of poisoning from these dead mice). You would want the prey to be intact, as in the wild. If old Joe could see his great-grandson, he would be extremely disappointed...to say the least.

Having RFK nominated is a huge win??? Are you kidding me??? RFK is more changeable than the weather on a Connecticut Summer afternoon. RFK will be to the Birdiedemic what Trump is for polticis at large.

No, RFK will do for big pharma what Trump is doing to the DC Swamp, make it into a national preserve.

You may be correct...only time will tell. It feels like.a win today. I know nobody gets in charge unless they are picked by the NWO, but just taking the vax-danger talk out of conspiracy circles, and out into the MSM...I feel like it's an improvement...tiny, yes, but an improvement.

Here's an example from 2020. I never went out in public that year without my sign (around my neck) that said: Safety Theater Is Tyranny. I expected to get a lot of harassment. It never happened. What did happen was, strangers came up to me to say thanks; that they wished they had the courage to do the same. To me, no courage was involved. It just seemed like the natural thing to do. I learned then, that probably at least 95% of the public will not speak out and make a fuss unless they get some kind of permission. Hopefully, if it happens again and RFK Jr. as Health Secretary...that will be the permission the silent masses need to finally speak up. I'm starting to get very worried that come Spring, I will not be able to buy chicks, due to some non-existent bird flu.

The full Senate will approve him. He is sufficiently Israel-first, which is the primary qualification. He will also mollify MAGA, due to his previous anti-vax position.

David, I agree. RFK blatantly repeated he was not anti-vaccine, and in fact, encouraged all parents to follow the current CDC vaccine schedule for their children.

I hope he’s not assassinated.

I don’t take too much out of the hearings, him saying he supports vaccination or whatever. I lean more towards his body of work over the last few decades, I believe that over a couple of sound bites in a confirmation hearing.

good article Don, unless I missed it in your writing, didn't the Joseph Kennedy family also have a daughter, not mentally well, who was lobotomized? When I read about this years ago, it was that they needed to disappear her, that she was a blight on their reputation, a liability to their Kennedy name.

I agree with you that the tragedies in that family are so numerous that you wonder, how could they cope with it all. there is a saying among the Irish maybe not well known, that the reason the Irish have so many children is to support each other when the other kids die.

I personally know very well an Irish catholic family that I grew up around, lots of kids. I knew this family very well and was quite close to them. When I have told others about this family, and the tragedies they have endured, all horrible, strange, and horrific including a bizarre and hideous murder, they can't handle even hearing about it. Now this particular family never betrayed each other, like the Kennedy's have done. I always considered the family that I know so well as having been cursed, but for reasons unknown to me. I think this also about the famous Kennedy's. Something happened, and the curse was laid down. If it is true, that Rosemary, a daughter of the old man Joe, was lobotomized then institutionalized for selfish reasons, that was the first betrayal, and quite possibly why they were cursed. Because from what I know of the Irish, betraying a member of the family is an unthinkable act, and no fame will ever fix it.

Expand full comment

I didn't mention their daughter Rosemary here, Krya, but have before. Joe Sr. wanted to make her "normal," not make her disappear. He paid a lot of money for what was thought of as a new, revolutionary procedure in Switzerland. It backfired terribly, and she became like a toddler for the rest of her life. But Joe gets blamed for that by all the usual suspects, as if it was something he wanted. Thanks!

Expand full comment

According to the Kennedy Center, JFK Library, they had somebody named Puttnam interview Kate Clifford Larson and her book 'Rosemary: The Hidden Kennedy Daughter.' I was not convinced entirely for her reasons why Joe and Eunice had her lobotomized although there is a lot of very interesting information about this very interesting Kennedy daughter. Maybe you have read it. I am convinced there is a coverup surrounding her, and not convinced by your stating that Joe Sr wanted to make this girl, whose intellectual level was at a 4th grade level, "normal." I think it's deeper and more complex. But what was good to read was that Rosemary totally affected the lives of RFK and his siblings, and it was thought that his sister added to his humanitarian impulses of wanting to help humanity. If Rosemary who was beautiful, vivacious and charming, lively and happy, was indeed at an intellectual and emotional level of a 4th grader, at 18, this would be a liability, a risk, because her hormones were at a mature level. By your omission, I have become very interested in learning about this Kennedy girl. Thanks.

I thought the reason the Irish had so many kids was the Catholic Church frowning on contraception back in the day .....?

Expand full comment

That's true but it's more complicated than that. Growing up Catholic in a rural farming

community big families were necessary to run a farm business. It's also a kind of wonderful thing to see how each one of the children has a unique personality along with the family traits. One of the farm families had a huge family and all of the kids had

musical talents like their parents. They had three different rock bands along with the parents' polka band. That makes four bands! All of them could sing too. Many of the

talented would sing and play instruments in our church. Singing is a big part of the church mass. Also having a big family is the security it provides. Once there was a guy

or some 'thing' peeping into our mom's window at night. She screamed! We all woke

up, grabbed our guns and searched out in the dark. We didn't see anything, but we

stood watch. If anything wanted to get to her, it would have to get through five armed

farm boys first. My oldest brother let loose about five shots to make it clear that

war had been declared.

I grew up in the 'burbs', so what I witnessed had little to do with the rural reasons, it seemed the Irish Catholics had bigger families then the Italian Catholics..... The largest I knew had 16 kids, I have 3 and it's hard to get their names right half the time, I could only imagine!!
