Once again an unsettling trend becomes evident: a striking uniformity in people's discourse. When I speak to the upcoming presidential campaign and mention Robert F. Kennedy's bid a peculiar phenomenon unfolds. Disdain quickly replaces civility with the mere mention of his name, rendering any constructive dialogue nearly impossible. If the reactions were not quizzical enough more concerning is the exacting similarity of people’s words: “Conspiracy theorist ... even his family thinks he is crazy.” The same two phrases strung together five times in the course of a couple weeks? How does that happen? Why the identical wording?
A more truthful statement is that Kennedy is a vaccine questioner ... as am I. Kennedy has likely done more research into the benefits and risks of vaccines than most anyone outside of the pharmaceutical industry or the US regulatory agencies, and without the influence of a profit-motivated agenda. The media would have us believe that everything that Kennedy has learned and speaks to is without merit. His viewpoints are never critiqued. Instead he is labeled a “vaccine conspiracy theorist and presidential candidate” - in that order. They call him a crackpot and nut job. The same media that faulted Donald for his propensity to name-call now does the same.
The claim that “even his family thinks he is crazy” is equally deceptive. It is important to note that only two Kennedys have expressed opposition to RFK Jr.'s presidential campaign. Conflating this with the entire Kennedy family is highly misleading.
A similar repetitive narrative was present in the months after the mRNA injections were first being administered. I was skeptical and unconvinced in February 2021. The rapid pace at which the rollout unfolded led me to question whether it was appropriate for individuals - regardless of their position within industry or government - to unequivocally claim that this new technology was safe and effective. Astonishingly, on four occasions within a mere two weeks I was confronted with the query of whether I also subscribed to the notion that the world was flat. The same idiom from four different people seemed to be more of a taught/learned response than it would be a coincidence.
We are witnessing psychic warfare. The narrative continually repeats and is laid out for us using easy to follow derogatory language with no clear definition. Using repetition repetitively the masses are told what to believe and given talking points. Logic gets twisted beyond recognition. The cycle worsens as people unwittingly perpetuate the distorted narrative, blurring the boundaries of truth and perpetuating the falsehoods with unwavering conviction.
Among those attacking Kennedy are some of the same individuals who assured Americans that the pharmaceutical inventions were the only choice we had to combat Covid. We were told these vaccines would provide immunity yet the reality is estimated 70% of those with the injections have contracted the virus. Initially those cases were labeled breakthrough infections, then they were commonplace.
Among those attacking Kennedy are the same individuals who said the vaccination shots would stop transmission. We have since learned that the shots were never tested for transmission. Pfizer President of International Markets Janine Small’s [testimony] to the Danish Parliament in October 2022 about “the speed of science” went largely unreported in the U.S.
Among those attacking Kennedy are the same individuals who say that he has promoted unfounded claims linking vaccines to autism. His views contradict the pharma-led narrative. This is why we need to have open debate/discussion and compare contrasting research and research methodologies. Never is Kennedy’s vaccine information critiqued. Instead his views are categorically dismissed and people are told his positions are alarmist and unsupported by scientific evidence. There was once a time when liberals sided with the little guy who spoke out against the big guys. Now many of them turn on a Kennedy.
The two major political parties in the United States consistently prioritize the interests of wealthy elites, elevating corporate interests above the needs of the 99%. Suppression of candidates who deviate from the party line - Ron Paul, Bernie Sanders and now Kennedy - combined with atmosphere of political polarization creates an environment where voices outside the mainstream and the concerns of ordinary citizens are effectively silenced. As a result a forward-thinking agenda goes missing as neither the Democrats or Republicans actively pursue transformative policies. The media is a powerful tool for this indoctrination. With the constant bombardment of carefully crafted messages people are swayed to believe a predetermined and narrow range of perspectives fostering an atmosphere where groupthink goes unchallenged.
Throughout history when people uniformly speak with striking similarity a specter of brainwashing often lurks beneath the surface. Uniformity of speech stifles diversity of thought and suppresses progress. It is within these carefully crafted linguistic confines that the seeds of manipulation take root, leading to a loss of critical thinking and independent judgment.
It is not easy to find accurate information. I have few reliable sources. My favorite newscasters/ investigative journalists are Russell Brand and Jimmy Dore. Humor requires truth, and their ability to infuse humor into their perspectives is a powerful tool for revealing the follies that lie beneath the surface. I encourage you to check out Chris Hedges, Bill Bonner, Glenn Greenwald, 321gold, Unherd, DarkHorse Podcast, High Intensity Health and Dr. John Campbell.
Those in power are fearful of Kennedy's appeal. Brace yourself for the onslaught of their noise machine as he continues to rise in the polls. When the masses echo identical rhetoric dismiss it not as mere chance but as a deliberate orchestration. The synchronicity is worth scrutinizing. Question and challenge this concerted effort to suppress a voice that strikes a chord with the people.
"The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it."
--George Orwell
The Democratic Party has decided Kennedy’s views are detrimental to their desired discourse. The same party also neutered Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential run .... even as he conjured up the passions of the party’s base. Sanders, similarly to Kennedy, tended to speak to ideas that challenged the narrative, which in turn challenged the power brokers. Rather than turn against the party that sunk their guy the liberals turned to the person who benefited most from Sanders' demise and uninspiring candidate in Hillary. We all know how that turned out.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't we talk about the evidence that vaccines cause autism: https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/why-every-scientist-should-agree
ReplyDeleteThe two supposed front runners in the campaign for president offer a dismal choice. Neither could poll 50% during their presidency. Both would be octogenarians in office. Both are running from the law with strong allegations against them. Both are very divisive. Come 2024 I can not see myself to voting for either. At minimum now is the time we, the Democracy, should be broadening our scope and listening to a myriad of voices. Listening to RFK Jr. Is a great beginning.
ReplyDeleteAnyone but Trump. Anyone but Biden.
Thank you for the information and opportunity to present RFK Jr. for who he is. Amazing to witness the name calling and fear mongering we have gone through in the past 3 years. For anyone calling him conspiracy theorist, please read his book "The Real Anthony Fauci". He is smart, well referenced and aware of legal implications of name calling without supporting evidence. We NEED a grass roots movement right now. He is not afraid of providing it for our freedoms.
ReplyDeleteQuestion the sound bite negative rhetoric.
Why does DeSantis get media coverage months before even entering the presidential race while Kennedy gets character assassination with little coverage of his platform? Is it because he actually has policies that could benefit this nation of people? Is it because his views need to be squelched by the powers that be? Is it because we should conclude that BidenTrump is the only viable option? How many of our opinions have been clearly written for us to repeat?
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed 'psychic warfare' on the masses, through MSM, by the controllers of the narrative who have only big money interests to protect. Not our health, not our wellbeing, not our safety, not our freedom and never the truth. The people you speak of who parrot the conscripted narrative are so cognitively lazy and socially insecure that they just want someone to tell them what to believe so they can fit into a prescribed safe camp.
ReplyDeleteBravo to people like Joe Rogan who recently had RFK Jr on his show to talk freely for 3 hrs, reaching millions more viewers than CNN does. Or news channels brave enough to bring him in for town hall talks such as NewsNation. Kuddos to you, Mr Hamburger, for standing up to the challenge of joining his campaign effort. At the very least, there will be a huge amount of awareness disseminated to anyone willing to listen. RFK Jr has potential be the best president the USA has ever seen, including his uncle.
Both sides have control of their followers’ minds. Just as glaringly is the number of conservatives who speak ill of Michelle Obama. Why the need to go after the wife? Even the mafia has the dignity to leave the women out of the equation. People on the right have been taught to dis a woman by their media.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Mr.Hamburger! I get a little depressed though reading it, - since I have started avoiding conversations with a lot of the people I used to know, for these very reasons.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish I was a walking encyclopedia full of real stats - so I could hit all these people over the head with them! But... what good would that do? - Its not about being right. Its about the loss of conversation. Loss of debate without total ridicule. All of this has only been made possible by the complete dumbing down of society in general in the last 20 years, - since the internet and mobilephones made headway. And the death of real jounalism that happened along with the death of newspapers that people actually payed for.
Covid is a virus that is 99.9% survivable. The pandemic was a business opportunity that allowed the pharmaceutical industry to do what the defense contractors learned to do decades ago - tap into the government coffers for their revenue.
ReplyDeleteIt is important to remember that alternative viewpoints and perspectives contribute to a more thorough understanding of complex issues. Always, the pursuit of truth and transparency should be prioritized over political affiliations or personal biases.
ReplyDeleteRobert F. Kennedy Jr.'s commitment to environmental advocacy is commendable. So too are his "vaccine" views. His unwavering dedication to holding corporations accountable for their actions and protecting our planet's resources is an inspiration to us all. We need more individuals like him who fight for a sustainable future.

ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly agree with your post highlighting the influence of mainstream media on the American public. It's evident that certain media outlets prioritize sensationalism and selective reporting over unbiased, factual information. This manipulation can shape public opinion and limit critical thinking. It's crucial for individuals to seek alternative news sources and engage in independent research to maintain a decent perspective. Awareness of media bias is vital for a informed society. Thank you for the suggestions and the links.
Well done. However Ron Paul and was and still is “more on point than any politician in my lifetime." However RFK Jr. is a passable runner-up. Hmm…..not a perfect world?
ReplyDeleteCall me a conspiracy analyst but I feel that anyone being paraded before us in the current system has been "placed" there by the true unseen controllers.. giving us the illusion of control. Someone for everyone. Distractions aka Bread and Circuses or wings of the same bird to keep us fighting each other. Critical thinking has been "educated" out of most people. There is no way to find truth nor justice in the system as it is. Does that make me an anArchist? Possibly.
ReplyDeleteHamburger for president..(-:
The blog post raises an important issue regarding the inaccurate reporting by the mainstream media - especially by CNN and MSNBC when it comes to the Covid jabs. Rachel Maddow's statement in March 2021, claiming that the virus STOPS with every vaccinated person, is a clear example of misinformation. Maddow is not a scientist, she was merely espousing her (incorrect) beliefs. Statements such as hers not only mislead the public yet also undermine the credibility of these news outlets. It is concerning that mainstream media fell victim to propagating government press releases and failed to provide reliable information about the jabs. This kind of misinformation is the real threat to public health. The public deserves responsible and fact-checked reporting from media sources. Especially during critical times like a pandemic.
ReplyDeleteI don’t generally take much interest in politics…. yet I have been following RFKJR closely, donating to his campaign and cheering him on. He’s my hero (Btw - much of the research he shares regarding childhood vaccines I knew back in 1990 when I chose not to vaccinate my kids). As you wrote I’ve also been blown away that some very smart, very Democrat, family members won’t even give him a look.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best presentation I've see to date on the entire vaccine issue: https://thehighwire.com/ark-videos/aaron-siri-gives-testimony-on-the-floor-of-arizona-state-senate/
DeleteHow about that, Democrats turning on a Kennedy?! It is a remarkable departure from their traditional values and a momentous shift from the Kennedy legacy that was once synonymous with the party’s ideals. But then the Democrats are now a pro-war, pro-censorship and pro-Pharma party. Just sayin’.
ReplyDeleteThe irony and absurdity of the situation is that democrats who pride themselves on being the party of inclusion and diversity now stifle alternative viewpoints and dissenting voices within their own ranks
DeleteHey, I have been running into the same thing.
ReplyDeleteAt the same time Biden is being sued over the Twitter files for not allowing free speech on social media. This is worth following and watching because these are the roots of shutting down RFK Jr. and ALL of his messages. Matt Taibbi's SubStack page is an excellent resource to get educated on the subject.
At first they were called breakthrough cases, then they were just commonplace. How true! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteMichael, because of this piece, I'm opening my mind back up to RFK Jr. I was one of those people who wrote him off due to the "conspiracy theorist" label. Thank you for opening my mind. Greg
