One of the most pernicious aspects of this RFK Jr. scam: using a nominal presidential campaign to continue the Kennedy dynasty's decades-long quest to mythologize his father and uncle's utterly disastrous record. Amazing that people still fall for the "Camelot" garbage in 2023 Image
As you can see, the RFK Jr. cultists are even going after Seymour Hersh for writing one of the very few books (excerpted above) that did a rigorous journalistic examination of "Jack and Bobby's" utterly disastrous record, particularly on foreign policy
RFK Jr. cultists: Anyone who scrutinizes this obvious "rat-fucking" operation is just a Biden-loving COVID authoritarian who's in the pocket of Big Pharma or whatever, as I learned from watching some brain-warped shysters rant on YouTube last week

Me:

The mythologization of the Kennedys going on right through the vehicle of the RFK Jr. operation is obviously of a different flavor than the conventional mythology around "Camelot". It's heavily inflected and germinated by certain strains of conspiracy-oriented internet culture
With the idea apparently being that the Kennedys are somehow heroic opponents of the Deep State or whatever, and now RFK Jr. is carrying forth the sacred mission. Martyr and savior complex. Recall the "Q" scam which legitimately convinced online paranoids that JFK Jr. was alive
Hersh never published the documents. He literally performed journalistic vetting on them, determined they were inauthentic, and excluded them from his book. Dems/media then tried to use this example of journalistic rigor to somehow *discredit* Hersh

Incredible. Was just on Israeli TV and some guy from the notorious military-industrial think tank @FDD declared I had no standing to comment because of my racial characteristics. “Identity politics for me, but not for thee.” Isn’t that right @hahussain?
As I told him on air, I’ve heard a whole lot of pathetic commentary from DC think tank operatives over the years, but that might take the cake
Here's the clip with the Think Tank operative impugning my racial characteristics

Are people really going to try to accuse Noam Chomsky of pedophilia because he chatted with Epstein occasionally? Just beyond absurd. The paranoia around this stuff got stupidly irrational a long time ago. For online paranoids, everyone everywhere is a depraved sexual predator
Alan Dershowitz was vindicated recently after the chief Epstein "victim" finally admitted that she made up defamatory lies about him for years. Turns out Dershowitz wasn't actually a depraved sexual predator. Didn't get a whole lot of attention though nytimes.com/2022/11/08/nyr…
If anything Chomsky ought to have been more abrasive and dismissive in his response. He's right that he owes nobody an explanation; he did nothing wrong. The recreational defamation over this garbage is out of control, and at this point really deserves nothing but contempt

I personally "wanted to strip away your civil liberties"? What in God's name are these people talking about? It's like watching minds shatter in real-time, in a cultish stupor, because they're suddenly cult devotees of the "Kennedy" dynasty. Fascinating, though extremely pathetic
Calls me "libelous" while falsely declaring that I supported stripping civil liberties, even though virtually every single bit of journalism I did in relation to COVID was focused on highlighting civil liberties intrusions. Such bizarre, cult behavior

Then the cultish politician-promotion extends to calling me a "high school loser" because I did some basic research on the politician's background. Please take note of this -- a truly an illuminating case study in a particular form of online cult behavior

Of course RFK Jr. was neck-deep in all kinds of Russiagate conspiracy nonsense. Have any of his new cult followers bothered to actually research the guy? ImageImageImageImage
I mean seriously -- any research at all? Like even some cursory Googling? Image
It's funny that this guy has lots of right-wing fans Image

The DOJ poured what looks like an enormous amount of resources into indicting 34 Chinese nationals (who almost certainly will never be in the US to stand trial) for engaging in "online harassment" against US persons. Here's some of the bombshell evidence the FBI uncovered Image
FBI apparently spent years doing meticulous, granular analysis of where, when, and why certain tweets were "liked" by Communist Chinese evildoers Image
One of the purported "victims" is an executive of a US social media company who endured "harassment" by random online accounts who are alleged to have trafficked in "antisemitic tropes." Amazingly, the charge was almost certainly brought on behalf of "victim" Mark Zuckerberg Image

Today the DOJ announced charges related to a "secret Chinese police station in the middle of New York City." But this "service station" wasn't secret. It was publicly advertised, as the FBI acknowledges, to local Chinese people in NYC as a place to renew their driver's licenses ImageImage
DOJ claims that one of individuals arrested today, Chen Jinping, took part in a "clandestine" operation to run an illicit police station, even though his involvement was publicly advertised in promotional materials encouraging people to utilize the "service station" Image
It was only after a paranoid media frenzy erupted about these "police stations" that the FBI even got involved, leading to a charge against this individual for "obstruction." Not espionage

But DOJ can whip up another "CCP" scare story -- media's happy to play along, as usual Image
