Matt Taibbi’s speech in Washington;
I was once taught you should always open an important speech by making reference to a shared experience.
So what do all of us at “Rescue the Republic” have in common? Nothing!
In a pre-Trump universe chimpanzees would be typing their fourth copy of Hamlet before RFK Jr., Robert Malone, Zuby, Tulsi Gabbard, Russell, Bret Weinstein and I would organically get together for any reason, much less an event like this.
True, everyone speaking has been censored. The issues were all different, but everyone disagreed with “authoritative voices” about something.
Saying no is very American. From “Don’t Tread on Me!” to “Nuts” to “You Cannot Be Serious!” defiance is in our DNA.
Now disagreement is seen as threat, and according to John Kerry, must be “hammered out of existence.” The former Presidential candidate just complained at a World Economic Forum meeting that “it’s really hard to govern” and “our First Amendment stands as a major block” to the important work of hammering out unhealthy choices.
In the open he said this! I was telling Tim Pool about this backstage and he asked, “Was black ooze coming out of his mouth?”
Better late than never.
“ They believe in the manner of herd animals, who also live whole lives without knowing an anxiety-free minute: they believe things with blinding zeal until 51% change their minds, and then like deer the rest bolt in that direction. We saw that with the Biden is sharp as a tack/No, Biden must step aside for the Politics of Joy switch.”
That was amazing when they did that. I mean just the in-your-face “A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth” pure Goebbels-level like gaslighting was a sight to see. They truly are the enemy of the people.
That was excellent. Thanks for the post Kate.
1958 – was at same school – Fessenden School in MA – with John Kerry. My cousin was in his class. We both thought he was a pompous ass wipe.
Here it is 66 years later and he has proven us correct for the 1000th time.
If only those that need to hear and read it, would.
It may shake some out of their everlasting trance of nothingness.
