Democrat Party is the part of ‘fear, war and censorship… neocons with woke bobble-heads’  ~Robert F. Kennedy

NEW COLUMN is “First, They Came For Tucker Carlson; Next Is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.” It is currently featured on The New American, WND.COM, The Unz Review, and Townhall.com

The column can now be read on IlanaMercer.com.

Excerpt:

Fix News is finished, having just fired their only attraction, Tucker Carlson. As a writer who put in years of sustained antiwar writing against Genghis Bush and the neocon coterie—who burned (and consequently burnt-out) as hot as a Babylonian kiln against invasions backed 100 percent by Faux New and its blond war-porn flank—something just short of total extinction seems a fitting fate for Fox. The foolish firing of their top rated host, and one of the highest-ranking cable news shows in the country, is sure to hasten the death rattle of the War Porn channel.

Evil And Envy

Fox News has thus cemented its unimpeachable credentials as lickspittle of the Republican Party, which it always was until Tucker. Just so there’s no confusion: the Party is exulting in Tucker’s ousting.

The intuitive and likely most base reason for the ouster of Tucker tracks with human nature: evil and envy strive for mediocrity.

The instinct of man is evil from his youth ~Genesis 8:21

Or, in the language of statistics, it’s the regression toward the mean; the quest in America for mediocrity:

“Tocqueville in the 19th century, and Solzhenitsyn in the 20th, noted that conformity of thought is powerfully prevalent among Americans,” observed my friend Clyde Wilson, professor of history at the University of South Carolina and the foremost scholar of John C. Calhoun.

So, too, do the responses from the mediocre media—and I flatter them—where one sees nothing but schadenfreude (“joy derived from the misfortunes of others”), track with the theory of evil and envy.

Fox News is an echo of the Republican Party, which serves the deep, warfare, industry-captured state.

Robert F. Kennedy, on the other hand, is “a choice, not an echo.”

One need not agree with every word Kennedy spoke in a pellucid address announcing for president, almost two hours long, delivered extemporaneously, to grasp that, on the defining issues of our time, almost all of which Kennedy addressed in depth and in detail, Robert F. Kennedy is right and righteous.

Of the welter of words spoken so very beautifully—for a man with a disorder of the vocal cords—Kennedy, Jr underplayed perhaps two issues and failed to mention but one crucial matter, while delivering a riveting information-dense address, at once deep and philosophical, yet wise and pragmatic, undergirded by historic and constitutional truth. Tactical to boot.

Against The Deep, Warfare, Woke, Industry-Captured State

The overarching impetus of  Robert F. Kennedy, Jr’s announcement is this:

Americans live and labor under an illiberal, unconstitutional, oppressive administrative state. Our representatives are meant to make law. How, then, has this vast bureaucracy, captured by globe-straddling industries, acquired tyrannical law-making powers! Most certainly not constitutionally.

Candidate Kennedy astutely connects the corrupt merger of state and corporate power with the events, stateside and abroad; past and present, unfolding around us—from the collapse of the dollar, the murder of the middle-class via Covid crackdowns and lockdowns (courtesy of the pharma-state), to inflation (Federal Reserve Bank), to the sundering of individual and constitutional rights, to war forevermore (in service of the military-industrial-complex against which Dwight Eisenhower and John Quincy forewarned). …

UPDATED (5/3):  From my April 27, 2023 column, “First, They Came For Tucker Carlson; Next Is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.“:

“Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., will need to address the border, as that by-now meaningless phrase goes. He has not. If he cares about the poor of his country, he must convince them that he is not part of the Ted Kennedy Fifth Column, which, in 1965, wrote the multicultural legislation that altered America forever. Kennedy Jr. will need to plug the border down South and, ideally, expel Biden’s legions of foreign invaders. If you are championing the middle-class and the working poor you cannot swamp their country with an unending supply of labor”

RFK, Jr., did so today, May 3:

While this isn’t nearly enough—RFK, Jr’s promise on immigration is no less than the Republicans have ever offered, and failed to deliver while in control of the presidency, both chambers and the gubernatorial landscape.

THE HARD TRUTH PODCAST, with David Vance and myself, will be streaming or broadcasting live, Tuesday, March 7th, at 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.

RUMBLE is the venue, although we are on all the other platforms, including Podbean and David’s Twitter and Gettr homes.

https://rumble.com/c/HardTruthPodcast

TOPICS include: The batshit crazy American belligerence against China. While offering meek opposition to the Ukraine project, the ostensibly “sane” wing of the GOP is ever ready with an alternative war. Booboisie seems on board with the buildup.

I am, however, buoyed by Africa’s resistance to US foreign-policy dictates, the direction taken with Putin, to be precise. Trust a Brother to have the gumption to tell the sanctimonious Anglo-Ameri-European axis of evil to go jump in the lake. Via RT.

We expect to touch on Trump’s address at CPUKE 2023. FBI Director Christopher Wray’s sudden need to direct the story-line about the origins of COVID has piqued our interest, too.

Be there. And send comments for posting while you watch.

UPDATED (11/9/022): Ron DeSantis Is Most Likely To Deliver In … 2024

Ron DeSantis understands the federal scheme and knows how to pull the levers of power—having faithfully and forcefully done so—for the people

THE BEST LINE from the 2022 midterm campaigns belongs to Arizona GOP Senate nominee Blake Masters:

“Send Senator Mark Kelly Back To Space.” (Kelly is the astronaut husband of Gabrielle Giffords. See “Loughner, Language, and The Big Lie,” a column I really like.)

Without listening to any of the other victory speeches—and without a shadow of a doubt, I’ll say that the best victory address is that of Ron DeSantis, who has handily won a second term as Florida’s governor.

Tuesday noon is when David Vance and I pre-record a new segment of our Hard Truth podcast.  Today’s recording, to be published on Thursday, saw David and I discuss Trump’s venal attack on the marvelous Governor DeSantis, during which I pledged my 2024 vote in support of the governor should he run for president.

We discussed Casey DeSantis, the governor’s gorgeous, regal wife, who is nothing like IVANKA and her houseboy, Kushner. Those two will traipse right back into saboteur positions at the White House with Daddy, who has never said no to his dimwit daughter, an assessment I do not need confirmed, but which is amply seconded by some top men, as recounted in “Meet The Kushners: First Couple In-Waiting“:

It’s quite clear that President Trump’s promise to hire only “the best” ought to have begun with firing The Family. Instead, Mr. Kushner‘s national security portfolio has expanded in a manner incommensurate with his skills. It now includes, I believe, China, Mexico, Iraq, Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The same can be said of Ivanka, who was soon briefing the South Korean president on sanctions against North Korea. That Ivanka lacked a permanent security clearance was the least of the country’s worries, given Steve Bannon’s assessment of her cerebral acuity: “as dumb as a brick.”

Alas, political connections ensured that two branding experts beat Braveheart Bannon of the mighty Breitbart.com! “’The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over,” he lamented, in August of 2017.

… “Jarvanka” (the Jared-Ivanka organism) were also said to have orchestrated the ousting of the last of the old MAGA Guard, John Kelly, aforementioned, a most excellent man. Kelly took his role as chief of staff seriously. He was a hardliner who limited Ivanka’s access to Pater.

One of Trump’s superb personnel choices, Kelly’s fate, however, was sealed when he stated how sick-and-tired he was of the first daughter “playing government.” The Goldman-Sachs wing of the White House, commandeered by the Kushners, had always wished him away. So, Kelly got the Choo, too.

Of former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, archconservative Heather Mac Donald observed the following: Sessions was “the only member of the Trump administration who was absolutely staunch in speaking up for the right of Americans to determine what the character of their country should be.” It takes a strong woman (Mac Donald) to recognize a scheming one. Heather Mac Donald had recently expressed “‘no confidence’ that the president will stop being advised by his daughter, Ivanka Trump, on the issue of immigration.”

Recorded today, Thursday’s Hard Truth discusses DeSantis’ unique gifts—the man understands the federal scheme and knows how to pull the levers of power—having faithfully and forcefully done so for the people. Such an understanding evades Trump. Moreover, a vote for Trump is a vote for the Jarvanka organism, or familial mutations of it. The family will be back in the House.

UPDATE (11/9/022):

September, 2022, I warned against the Republicans’ dumb, defeatist strategy for winning:

“Amid the collapse of the American civilization, Republicans are most concerned with preserving the enemy’s embryos.” Let Democrat distaff scrape out their wombs.

Midterm results confirm. Democrats, moreover, go for the jugular; Republicans run on controlling the latter’s wombs, on group hugs and economics. Said it all.
