The Power Resides in the Enemies of Truth

RootsAction is an activist site founded by two progressives to defend the public interest from “an increasingly extremist Republican Party.”  RootsAction believes that both parties are compromised by corporate money and power, is against the wars, and was endorsed by Barbara Ehrenreich, Cornel West, Daniel Ellsberg, and Naomi Klein, all principled persons whether or not you agree with them.  

Some of the organization’s positions are reasonable–put limits on Super PACs to limit the amount of bought government;  consider the risks of nuclear power plants–others are half-baked by ignoring the adverse consequences.  

Therefore, I was surprised to receive from RootsAction an email addressed specifically to me, not a mass mailing, calling for Robert F. Kennedy’s removal as Health Secretary.  Their case against Kennedy is that the limits he has put on the Covid vax, now proven to have caused more deaths and health injuries than Covid, and on other vaccines associated with the  plethora of new childhood illnesses that did not previously exist, together with regulations to improve food safety, “is causing future deaths and suffering on a large scale.”  As there is no evidence for this charge, the question arose in my mind whether RootsAction was being paid by Big Pharma as a part of Big Pharma’s policy of putting its profits ahead of Americans’ health and safety. Just as President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s uncle, was considered a risk to the power and profit of the US military/security complex, Robert F. Kennedy Jr is considered a risk to the power and profit of Big Pharma.

This suspicion increased when I saw that RootsAction was predicting future deaths from constraints Kennedy placed on the corrupt revolving door between Big Pharma and the CED, NIH, and FDA and cessation of federal funding for Big Pharma-serving propaganda.  

How is it possible that RootsAction has learned nothing from the proliferation of scientific peer-reviewed studies documenting the disastrous effects of the Covid Vax, lockdowns, and masks?  As the whore media continues to hide these established results from the public in exchange for Big Pharma advertising revenues, it is possible that RootsAction simply doesn’t know the facts.

The CDC directors and bureaucrats who were fired were fired for putting Big Pharma’s profits ahead of the public’s health.  Many of them came from Big Pharma and many returned to Big Pharma.

The Covid Pandemic was an orchestration.  Just as RootsAction disapproves, I assume, of the current orchestrations to promote wars, such as Iran’s alleged “nuclear weapons” and Venezuelan President Maduro’s alleged “narcotics cartel,” like Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction” and Assad’s “use of chemical weapons,” RootsAction should disapprove of Big Pharma’s orchestration to remove Robert Kennedy.

For many years my columns have emphasized the decline in the ability of truth to get a hearing.  There are many reasons for this:  The rise of ideological agendas for which truth is an obstacle, the concentration of the print and TV media in six mega-companies thereby making it possible to establish official narratives regardless of their truthfulness, and an insouciant and largely ignorant population without the interest and ability to examine the official narratives.  Indeed, today in the US education consists of indoctrinating students with official narratives and cancelling those who challenge the narratives.  The simple fact is that truth is disappearing, because it does not serve the agendas of the ruling elites.

This explains why it is so difficult for Robert Kennedy, Donald Trump with his mandate, and anyone else to set things right.  The power resides in the enemies of truth.  

Consequently, important issues, often crucial ones, are settled by canceling the narrative challenger, smearing him, arresting him on false charges, passing a law to protect the narrative, or simply by ignoring the challenge which is the whore media’s response to the Covid scandal. 

Impossible you say?  Think about the recent Russiagate hoax.  The entirety of the Biden regime, Democrat Party, TV, print, and NPR media, liberal-left intellectuals and professors, RINO Republicans like Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, the Entire UK and EU press and public figures supported the Russiagate hoax.  Yet, as we now know for certain, never was a greater lie perpetuated on the world.  The only question remaining is whether those responsible will be held accountable or whether the ruling elite are just too powerful to ever be held accountable.
