The Senate Democratic leader is trying to bully his own members into breaking their word, breaking the Senate, and silencing the voices of millions of citizens, so that one political party can take over our nation’s elections from the top down,” McConnell said of Schumer’s efforts to break the Senate filibuster.
Once you impose a one-party dictatorship on a previously free people, you will provoke a rage and retribution like you have never seen — in a context where the millions of enraged people will have nothing left to lose (since you took away all their rights.) Not even Stalin or Hitler were this smug, or this deluded, in their ultimately unsuccessful quests to impose totalitarian rule. Careful what you wish for, DemComs.
Libertarianism is a political philosophy that holds that a person should be free to do whatever he wants in life, as long as his conduct is peaceful. Thus, as long a person doesn’t murder, rape, burglarize, defraud, trespass, steal, or inflict any other act of violence against another person’s life, liberty, or property, libertarians hold that the government should leave him alone. In fact, libertarians believe that a primary purpose of government is to prosecute and punish anti-social individuals who initiate force against others.
What are some policy ramifications of what has become known as the libertarian “non-aggression principle”?
People should be free to engage in any economic enterprise without permission or interference from the state. Thus libertarians oppose all occupational licensure laws and all economic regulations of business activity. Libertarians also believe that people have the right to keep whatever they earn and decide for themselves what to do with their own money–spend it, invest it, save it, hoard it, or donate it.
This then means, necessarily, that libertarians are ardent advocates of the free market, which is simply a process by which people are interacting peacefully with each other for mutual gain.
What are some specific applications of libertarian principles to real-world problems?
Education: libertarians call for the complete separation of school and state, which means the repeal of school compulsory-attendance laws and school taxes–that is, the complete end of all governmental involvement in education. This would mean a completely free market in education, in which consumers decide the best educational vehicles for their children and entrepreneurs (both for-profit and charitable) are meeting the demands of the consumers.
Social Security: an immediate repeal of Social Security, which is simply a coercive transfer program in which older people are able to steal from young people. Again, people have a right to their own earnings. If a person fails to provide for his retirement, he must rely on the charity and good will of his family, his friends, his church groups, or people in his community. Libertarians believe that it is morally wrong for a person to use the state to take what doesn’t belong to him.
Welfare: immediate repeal of all welfare primarily on moral grounds but also on the terribly destructive aspects of government welfare programs. People have a right to their own earnings and no one has the right to take someone else’s money against his will. Moreover, no one is made a better person because the state is taking money from one person in order to give it to another person. Finally, government welfare creates a sense of hopeless dependency on the welfare recipient.
Drug laws: the decades-long war on drugs is immoral and has proven to be highly destructive. People have a right to engage in peaceful, self-destructive behavior as long as their conduct is peaceful. Drug addiction should be treated as a social, medical, psychological problem, not a criminal one. Legalizing drugs would immediately put an end to drug lords and drug gangs and the violence associated with the drug war–that is, the burglaries, robberies, thefts, etc. associated with the exorbitant black-market prices that drug users must pay to finance their habits.
The IRS and income tax: repeal them and leave people free to keep the fruits of their earnings and decide for themselves how to dispose of their wealth.
Gun Control: People have a right to resist the tyranny of their own government and to protect themselves from the violent acts of private criminals.
Environment: Governments are the great destroyers of the environment. In fact, most environmental problems can be traced to public, not private, ownership of resources. The solution is to privatize public property to the maximum extent possible.
Health Care: the crisis in health care, especially with respect to ever-rising prices, is due to heavy government involvement in health care–Medicare, Medicaid, and licensure laws. These laws and programs should be repealed in favor of a totally free market in health care.
Immigration: Libertarians oppose any controls on the free movements of goods and people, both domestically and internationally. People have the right to move and to improve their lives.
Foreign Policy: Libertarians oppose involvement in foreign wars as well as all foreign aid. The U.S. government should be limited to protecting the nation from invasion but should stay out of the affairs of other
Civil Liberties: Libertarians are firm advocates of the First Amendment and the procedural aspects of due process of law, such as the rights to be protected from unreasonable searches and seizures, and in criminal cases the right to an attorney, notice and hearing, and trial by jury.
With the tragic exception of slavery and several minor exceptions, the philosophy on which the United States was founded was, by and large, founded on libertarianism, especially with the ideas in the Declaration of Independence and the limitation on powers in the Constitution.
In 1890 America, for example, the following government programs were virtually nonexistent: income taxation, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, economic regulation, occupational licensure, a Federal Reserve System, conscription, immigration controls, and gun control.
In the 20th century, the American people abandoned libertarianism in favor of the socialistic welfare state and the controlled or regulated society.
Thus, the intellectual and moral battle for the third century of our nation’s existence is between those who favor liberty — libertarians — versus those who favor state control of peaceful activity — “
With all the calls for a “democratic” socialism and paternalistic government to be established in the United States, it is worth remembering the first attempt to put in place a form of economic collectivism in early American history. It brought about disastrous consequences for the Pilgrims after they settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The English Pilgrims, who left Great Britain and sailed across the Atlantic on the Mayflower in 1620, were not only escaping religious persecution in their homeland. They also wanted to turn their back on what they viewed as the materialistic and greedy corruption of the Old World.
Plymouth Colony Planned as Collectivist Utopia
They wanted to erect a New Jerusalem in the new world, a new Jerusalem that would not only be religiously devout, but would be built on a new foundation of communal sharing and social altruism. Their ideal was the communism found in Plato’s Republic. All would work and share in common, knowing neither private property nor self-interested acquisitiveness.
What resulted is recorded in the diary of Governor William Bradford, the head of the colony. The colonists collectively cleared and worked the land, but they brought forth neither the bountiful harvest they hoped for, nor a spirit of shared and cheerful brotherhood.
The less industrious members of the colony came late to their work in the fields and were slow and easy in their labors. Knowing that they and their families were to receive an equal share of whatever the group produced, they saw little reason to be more diligent in their efforts. The harder working among the colonists became resentful that their efforts would be redistributed to their more malingering neighbors. Soon they, too, were coming late to work and were less energetic in the fields.
Private Property as Incentive to Industry
Realizing that another season like those that had just passed would mean the extinction of the entire community, the elders of the colony decided to try something radically different: the introduction of private property and the right of the individual families to keep the fruits of their own labor.
As Governor Bradford put it:
And so, assigned to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of their number for that end . . .This had a very good success; for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted then otherwise would have been by any means the Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field and took their little ones with them to set corn, which before would allege weakness, and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression.
The Plymouth Colony experienced a great bounty of food. Private ownership meant that there was now a close link between work and reward. Industry became the order of the day as the men and women in each family went to the fields on their separate private farms. When the harvest time came, not only did many families produce enough for their own needs, but they had surpluses that they could freely exchange with their neighbors for mutual benefit and improvement.
In Governor Bradford’s words:
By this time harvest was come, and instead of famine, now God gave them plenty, and the face of things was changed, to the rejoicing of the hearts of many, for which they blessed God. And the effect of their planting was well seen, for all had, one way or other, pretty well to bring the year about, and some of the abler sort and more industrious had to spare, and sell to others, so as any general want or famine hath not been amongst them since to this day.
Rejecting Collectivism for Individualism
Hard experience had taught the Plymouth colonists the fallacy and error in the ideas that since the time of the ancient Greeks had promised paradise through collectivism rather than individualism. As Governor Bradford expressed it:
The experience that was had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years, and that amongst the Godly and sober men, may well convince of the vanity and conceit of Plato’s and other ancients; — that the taking away of property, and bringing into a common wealth, would make them happy and flourishing; as if they were wiser than God. For this community (so far as it was) was found to breed confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort.
Was the realization that socialism was incompatible with human nature and the prosperity of humanity to be despaired or be a cause for guilt? Not in Governor Bradford’s eyes. It was simply a matter of accepting that compulsory altruism and collectivism were inconsistent with the nature of man, and that human institutions should reflect the reality of man’s nature if he is to prosper. Said Governor Bradford:
Let none object this is man’s corruption, and nothing to the curse itself. I answer, seeing all men have this corruption in them, God in his wisdom saw another course fitter for them.
The desire of “spreading the wealth” and for government to plan and regulate people’s lives is as old as the utopian fantasy in Plato’s Republic. The Pilgrim Fathers tried and soon realized its bankruptcy and failure as a way for men to live together in society.
Instead, they accepted man as he is: hardworking, productive, and innovative when allowed the liberty to follow his own interests in improving his own circumstances and that of his family. And even more, out of his industry result the quantities of useful goods that enable men to trade to their mutual benefit.
Giving Thanks for the Triumph of Freedom
In the wilderness of the New World, the Plymouth Pilgrims progressed from the false dream of socialism to the sound realism of capitalism. At a time when too many in the United States are insisting on a massive turn toward more government with Green New Deal central plans, confiscatory redistributions of wealth, and imposed political paternalism on all we say and do in our associations with others, we need to harken back to the harsh and sometimes horrible lessons learned from past attempts to impose socialist systems on society.

The return of mask mandates in blue states has nothing to do with health. It’s electoral anxiety. Democratic Communists are afraid there’s not enough fraud and censorship in the world to reverse the tide against them. By creating the image of an emergency they can hope to repeat the manipulation and deception that worked so well for them before. And if people continue to roll over and take it, it will continue to work.
It’s hilarious that they call the flu a “state of emergency.” If we were in a state of actual emergency, it would not be safe to leave the house. There’s an old saying, “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” At some point, we have to stop being victims and simply defy or ignore the illegitimate tyrants. They can’t jail all of us. Create chaos, confusion and disruption. Practice disobedience and counter-deception. Why? Because increasingly, there’s very little left to preserve.
It is now a quantifiable fact that school closures do more harm than good. We have test scores, increased suicide rates, mental health decreases, and more warning signals from the New York Times to the Democrats. We know that prolonged closures adversely affect our children and that the unions in Chicago and elsewhere pushing for remote learning are doing everything they can to keep children out of schools.null
While the mental, academic, and social health of all of our children is important, there is a demographic of students who suffer the most: Children with special needs.
Students who fall on the autism spectrum, students who need accommodations, and students who generally just need extra support in the classroom are now left without because there is no classroom to be in and no help at home. While no one knows their child and his or her needs better than their parents, and the parents can provide some support at home, there are very talented, very well trained professionals at school who have dedicated their lives to helping these students get the most out of an education system that is built for the average, everyday kid – not the kid with exceptionalities.
Sometimes, these professionals and the services a school district provides are the only things standing between a student with special needs and the system leaving them behind.
This isn’t just about coursework, either. School is sometimes the only other place besides home where a child learns social cues, human interaction, and healthy emotional development. I’ve written about this before, but it’s especially true for these students. You have to have human interaction outside of your family in order to develop socially and emotionally, and for many students with needs beyond what the average student requires, school is the place where not just their social and emotional development, but indeed their very understanding of even basic social cues, can occur.
Students who are on the spectrum, for example, can struggle a lot with this. Others, kids with physical barriers like poor vision or hearing, need to be trained to pick up on things that most kids can easily interpret. Then, there are professionals in speech development who can offer the training students need to overcome speech barriers – training that parents may struggle to teach or may not have time to give in the midst of everything else that is part of parenting.
If you have never had the opportunity to work with or see some of these children in a school setting, what you have not witnessed is both the struggle that can take place and the absolute perseverance of these children. They fight, at times much harder than anyone will ever truly know, and when they find their success and achieve their goals it is one of the best moments you can witness in a child’s life.
But unions are pushing to close schools again. They defy the science. They defy the data. These are people who are fine with kids learning remotely or not learning at all (and, oftentimes, there isn’t much difference) because teaching while people are getting sick is just such a hassle.
Remote/virtual learning is not an education plan. It is, at best, a temporary solution that can be implemented on a school-by-school basis. It is not something that makes sense for entire school systems to adopt long term or for unions to push for. It actively hurts our kids, and while some can handle it in the long run, our most vulnerable children suffer when these decisions are made. That is unacceptable for a profession that is supposed to be serving these children.
Famed, and usually honest, attorney Alan Dershowitz says Congress, not the President, has the final authority on vaccine mandates.
I don’t agree. Congress does not have the right to force medical treatment on individuals any more than a federal bureaucracy. Our individual rights are INALIENABLE. End of story.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene on GETTR:
Super jabbed and vaxxed AOC has #covid.
Was that from all the unvaccinated Republican men she said want to date her? Really it’s because covid vaccines don’t actually stop anyone from getting sick with Covid-19.
“But muh mandates!” Biden cries.
Anyway, hope she feels better and too bad she spread covid all around the beautiful Florida freedom zone.
Good thing Gov Ron DeSantis believes in saving lives with monoclonal antibodies and doesn’t dole it out based on racism.
RFK Jr. shows that the “global war on democracy and public health” began forty years ago with AIDS. In 1981, fifty gay men in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York were found to suffer from advanced immune suppression associated with a disfiguring skin cancer called Kaposi’s sarcoma. It was initially placed under the purview of the National Cancer Institute (NCI),
He writes: “For Pharma and its NCI regulators and enablers, the AIDS crisis looked like another ATM machine for them. In 1984, however, NIH scientist Robert Gallo linked AIDS to his virus HTLV-III, renamed ‘human immunodeficiency virus’ (HIV).”
Fauci started work at NIH’s National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in 1968. He persuaded NIH bureaucrats that this HIV virus is what causes AIDS. So, his institute should take control of AIDS and its bountiful funding for AIDS research. (Fauci was appointed NIAID’s Director in 1984, a position he continues to hold at age 81.)The Real Anthony Fauci…Kennedy Jr., Robert F.Buy New $20.98(as of 07:01 UTC – Details)
Controlling billions of dollars for AIDs research, Fauci refused to fund any investigators that had the cheek to question the viral cause of AIDS, or who supported using cheap, no-longer-patented medicines to treat it. He directed funds to develop an AIDS vaccine. In the meantime, Fauci pushed AZT (Azidothymidine), a DNA chain terminator. This chemotherapy poison killed some 300,000 healthy people who tested positive on a PCR test for HIV, like with tennis player Arthur Ashe!
RFK Jr. reports that Dr. Fauci has so far spent half a trillion dollars in government research grants trying to produce a vaccine against HIV, supporting “nearly 100 vaccine candidates.”
But what if the “human immunodeficiency virus” (HIV) doesn’t cause AIDS? RJK Jr. addresses this “AIDS denialist” question in Chapter 5, “The HIV Heretics” (with 145 references, i.e., “endnotes”), and how Fauci and his team deals with them, in Chapter 6, “Burning The HIV Heretics” (with 180 references).
Respected UC Berkeley molecular biologists Peter Duesberg, cofounder of the first retroviral oncogene and author of Inventing the AIDS Virus, and the late Harvey Bialy, founding scientific editor of Nature Biotechnology and Peter Duesberg’s biographer (Oncogenes, Aneuploidy, and AIDS: A Scientific Life and Times of Peter H. Duesberg), along with others, contend that HIV is innocent. It is a harmless cellular passenger, like a hitchhiker. And HIV infects less than one in 10,000 T cells, which thrive. AIDS, instead, is caused by long-term, heavy duty recreational drug use; taking antiretroviral drugs, like AZT; unprotected anal sex; and, in Africa, malnutrition and bad water. Dr. Fauci has his team suppress these facts.
RFK Jr. writes:
“From the outset, I want to make clear that I take no position on the relationship between HIV and AIDS. I include this history because it provides an important case study illustrating how—some four hundred years after Galileo—politics and power continue to dictate ‘scientific consensus,’ rather than empiricism, critical thinking, or the established steps of the scientific method. It is a hazard to both democracy and public health when a kind of religious faith in authoritative pronouncements supplant disciplined observation, rigorous proofs, and reproducible results as the source of ‘truth’ in the medical field.”
The claim that HIV causes AIDS is the “critical foundation of Dr. Fauci’s career.” So, he and his PIs must ignore the fact that AIDS occurs in HIV-negative people.
Peter Duesberg ran afoul of the establishment in 1988 when he published a paper in Science
titled, “HIV is Not the Cause of AIDS.” RFK Jr. describes it this way:
“Dr. Fauci summoned the entire upper clergy of his HIV orthodoxy—and all of its lower acolytes and altar boys—to unleash a storm of fierce retribution on the Berkeley virologist and his followers… Dr. Fauci’s career depended on the universal belief that HIV alone causes AIDS…The AIDS establishment, down to its lowliest doctor, publicly reviled Duesberg. NIH defunded him, and academia ostracized and exiled the brilliant Berkeley professor. The scientific press all but banished him. He became radioactive… A frenzy of anti-Duesbergism swept the field like grass fire. Duesberg’s name became so degraded that debasing him became a means of career advancement. Being seen with him was career suicide for aspiring scientists.”
“Rather than airing and openly debating such critiques, Tony Fauci and his PI [Principal Investigators] army moved actively and effectively to snuff out the careers and silence the arguments of any scientist or journalist who question the official canons of the new [HIV-causes-AIDS] state theology.”
RFK Jr. next exposes the Fauci-run “NIAID’s barbaric and illegal experiments on children,” where “AZT’s sketchy and corrupt path to regulatory approval in 1988 blazed a trail for a multibillion-dollar boom in new HIV drugs. Dr. Fauci gave his pharmaceutical partners and their PIs broad leeway to conduct unethical human experimentation that exposed both children and adults to toxic compounds.”
Following in his father’s footsteps, this intrepid investigator writes:
“In 1965, my father kicked down the door of the Willowbrook State School on Staten Island, where pharmaceutical companies were conducting cruel and often-deadly vaccine experiments on incarcerated children.57 Robert Kennedy declared Willowbrook a ‘snake pit’ and promoted legislation to close the institution and end the exploitation of children. Fifty-five years later, national media and Democratic Party sachems have beatified a man [Dr. Fauci] who presided over similar atrocities, somehow elevating him to a kind of secular sainthood.”
It gets worse:
“Of late, he [Dr. Fauci] has played a central role in undermining public health and subverting democracy and constitutional governance around the globe and in transitioning our civil governance toward medical totalitarianism. Just as President Eisenhower warned. Dr. Fauci’s COVID-19 response has steadily deconstructed our democracy and elevated the power of a tyrannical medical technocracy.”
He adds:
“Dealing with Tony Fauci is like dealing with organized crime. He’s like the godfather. He has connections everywhere. He’s always got people that he’s giving money to in powerful positions to make sure he gets his way—that he gets what he wants. These connections give him the ultimate power to fix everything, control every narrative, escape all consequences, and sweep all the dirt and all the bodies under the carpet and to terrorize and destroy anyone who crosses him.”
Dr. Fauci first cemented a close working and financial arrangement with the big pharmaceutical companies (“Big Pharma”). He then joined forces with Bill Gates, in 2000, when Gates invited him for a visit to his Seattle home—to “his 40,000-square-foot, $127 million mansion rising from forty wooded acres on the banks of Lake Washington.” Fauci and Gates agreed to form a partnership to control and expand the global vaccine enterprise. Its result? RFK Jr. writes:
“Over the next two decades, that partnership would metastasize to include pharmaceutical companies, military and intelligence planners, and international health agencies all collaborating to promote weaponized pandemics and vaccines and a new brand of corporate imperialism rooted in the ideology of biosecurity. That project would yield Mr. Gates and Dr. Fauci unprecedented bonanzas in wealth and power.”
With COVID, that power would involve installing “a regime of surveillance and extreme control over formerly free citizens.”(And Bill Gates’s wealth expanded $23 Billion during the 2020 lockdowns.) RFK Jr. points out that the Fauci-Gates-Pharma alliance furthers the agenda of totalitarian control and is being carried out under the guise of the COVID pandemic.
Bill Gates has been described as “ruthless and immoral.” RFK Jr. pictures him this way: “His imperviousness to self-assessment allows him to treat the hundreds of thousands of casualties of his policies as acceptable damage in his self-serving schemes for humanity.”
He writes that the COVID coup has:
“Enabled allies in the technocracy to effect the most extraordinary curtailment of American constitutional rights in American history: closing churches across the country, shuttering a million businesses without due process or just compensation; suspending jury trials for corporate malefactors; passing regulations without constitutionally guaranteed transparency public hearings, or comment, violating privacy through warrantless searches; and track-and-trace surveillance and abolishing the rights of assembly and association.”
RFK Jr. next courageously takes on the CIA:
“The pervasive CIA involvement in the global vaccine putsch should give us pause. There is nothing in the CIA’s history, in its charter, in its composition, or in its institutional culture that betrays an interest in promoting either public health or democracy. The CIA’s historical preoccupations have been power and control. The CIA has been involved in at least seventy-two attempted and successful coups d’états between 1947 and 1989,50 involving about a third of the world’s governments. Many of these were functioning democracies. The CIA does not do public health. It does not do democracy. The CIA does coups d’états.”
All my mother’s brothers were pilots, and their aircraft stories are legendary. George once flew the company DC-3 under the George Washington Bridge at rush hour. Rush Skakels had to surrender his license—probably saving his skin—because on one occasion he followed a commercial airliner’s descent through a cloud bank and onto an O’Hare runway, after wandering lost above a dense cloud bank for an hour with no instruments and dwindling fuel, in a floatplane on his way home from a Canadian hunting expedition.”
He intermixes a trenchant critique of the CIA among these reminiscences.
The first sentence of the book is:
“From my youngest days I aways had the feeling that we were all involved in some great crusade, that the world was a battle-ground for good and evil, and that our lives would be consumed in that conflict.”
Wikipedia’s 15,000-word write up on RFK Jr. (with 258 references) does not mention this important book. Like with The Real Anthony Fauci, mainstream book reviewers have also completely ignored this book. Why? Such blanket suppression is most likely due to what RFK Jr. writes about the CIA in it:
In 1949, at [Allen] Dulles’s urging, Congress freed the CIA from its final restraint, budgetary review, and the Agency quickly became a clandestine government within our government, with its own enormous budget, legions of bureaucrats, and rogue armies, all completely unaccountable to American democracy. As it expanded power, the Agency metastasized like a cancer, to threaten the very democracy and national security that it was commissioned to safe-guard.”
When JFK was assassinated, “My dad immediately suspected that the CIA had killed Uncle Jack.” But the Kennedy family’s clash with the CIA began earlier, before JFK was elected President:
“In 1956, my grandfather Joseph Kennedy sat on a panel that first sounded the alarm about the growing power of the CIA and its clandestine activities… Two years later, when Uncle Jack was U.S. senator, he publicly castigated the Dulles brothers for their secretiveness… Today, the CIA has sprawled beyond recognition or control by the democracy it is supposed to serve… My family’s grappling to bring that agency and its Pentagon collaborators under the control of our democracy was the central defining battle of the Cold War era.”
In “Pursing Truth on the Kennedy Assassinations,” I contend that the CIA did indeed assassinate President Kennedy, shot and killed Bobby Kennedy, and orchestrated the plane crash that killed John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Jr., his wife, her sister, and a flight instructor in the copilot’s seat (his body and the seat were not found at the crash site). The crash occurred a week after JFK Jr. privately let it be known that he was going to run for president in the 2000 election. I further address this in “Why Three Kennedys Were Assassinated,” the transcript of a podcast on this subject I had with Lew Rockwell.
Robert Kennedy, Jr. knows the risks he confronts in speaking frankly about the CIA, the HIV/AIDS fraud, and the COVID coup. Yet he perseveres and presses forward undeterred. We must gratefully thank him for having the courage to do this.
The first chapter in “The Real Anthony Fauci” is 177 pages long and titled “Mismanaging a Pandemic.” It has five sections: “Arbitrary Decrees: Science-Free Medicine” (67 references); “Killing Hydroxychloroquine” (163); “Ivermectin” (102); Remdesivir (82); and Final Solution: Vaccines or Bust (106 references). He shows conclusively that hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin are safe and effective treatments for COVID-19—and how Fauci and the medical/media cartel have blocked physicians in the U.S. from prescribing them. (Fauci got these meds banned for “Emergency Use Approval” of the COVID vaccines, which requires that there are no safe and effective oral medications for this disease.)
RFK Jr. quotes Dr. Tess Lawrier on this important point:
“Had ivermectin been employed in 2020 when medical colleagues around the world first alerted the authorities to its efficacy, millions of lives could have been saved, and the pandemic with all its associated suffering and loss brought to a rapid and timely end… The story of ivermectin has highlighted that we are at a remarkable juncture in medical history. The tools that we use to heal and our connection with our patients are being systematically undermined by relentless disinformation stemming from corporate greed. The story of ivermectin shows that we as a public have misplaced our trust in the authorities and have underestimated the extent to which money and power corrupts.”
In The Real Anthony Fauci, RFK Jr. shows conclusively that ivermectin has a far better safety record than “Dr. Fauci’s two chosen COVID remedies, [intravenous] remdesivir (which hospital nurses have dubbed ‘Run-death-is-near’) and COVID vaccines.”
Other chapters in this book document Dr. Fauci’s African atrocities and his and NIAID’s barbaric and illegal experiments on children.
Dr. Fauci transformed “a public health agency into an incubator for [patented] pharmaceutical products,” mainly vaccines. And he has used the global COVID pandemic as an “excuse to justify the imposition of tyranny and coerced vaccination.”
RFK Jr.’s The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health could well serve as the Opening Brief for multiple criminal indictments, beginning with Dr. Anthony Fauci.
RFK Jr.’s previous book is American Values: Lessons I Learned from My Family, published in 2018. It is beautifully written and contains many interesting anecdotes about his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, and children. Ones like this:
All my mother’s brothers were pilots, and their aircraft stories are legendary. George once flew the company DC-3 under the George Washington Bridge at rush hour. Rush Skakels had to surrender his license—probably saving his skin—because on one occasion he followed a commercial airliner’s descent through a cloud bank and onto an O’Hare runway, after wandering lost above a dense cloud bank for an hour with no instruments and dwindling fuel, in a floatplane on his way home from a Canadian hunting expedition.”

(Fauci got these meds banned for “Emergency Use Approval” of the COVID vaccines, which requires that there are no safe and effective oral medications for this disease.)
RFK Jr. quotes Dr. Tess Lawrier on this important point:
“Had ivermectin been employed in 2020 when medical colleagues around the world first alerted the authorities to its efficacy, millions of lives could have been saved, and the pandemic with all its associated suffering and loss brought to a rapid and timely end… The story of ivermectin has highlighted that we are at a remarkable juncture in medical history. The tools that we use to heal and our connection with our patients are being systematically undermined by relentless disinformation stemming from corporate greed. The story of ivermectin shows that we as a public have misplaced our trust in the authorities and have underestimated the extent to which money and power corrupts.”
In The Real Anthony Fauci, RFK Jr. shows conclusively that ivermectin has a far better safety record than “Dr. Fauci’s two chosen COVID remedies, [intravenous] remdesivir (which hospital nurses have dubbed ‘Run-death-is-near’) and COVID vaccines.”
Other chapters in this book document Dr. Fauci’s African atrocities and his and NIAID’s barbaric and illegal experiments on children.
Dr. Fauci transformed “a public health agency into an incubator for [patented] pharmaceutical products,” mainly vaccines. And he has used the global COVID pandemic as an “excuse to justify the imposition of tyranny and coerced vaccination.”
RFK Jr.’s The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health could well serve as the Opening Brief for multiple criminal indictments, beginning with Dr. Anthony Fauci.
