Well, it won't be long until he slips on a banana peel while cleaning his handgun in the shower and ends up perforated, will it? It seems that the people whose feathers he probably just ruffled aren't particularly impressed by, or respectful of, the name Kennedy...

Note for the humor-impaired: This Is Snark. I wish I didn't have to add this disclaimer, but I don't want to suddenly slip on any unforeseen banana peels either.

have given us in spades. I don't see anything that's not
true in his comment.

@snoopydawg about a trip I took to Mexico. A young guide told we tourists about the rise of AMLO being set by strikes.
Essentially, people sat in the streets, locked arms, refused to work, refused to shop and consume, and to pay taxes. En masse.
It went off the rails here because people thought it was about avoiding federal taxes, which is a crime in the US
It was about sales taxes and local taxes. No purchase, no sales taxes, no local taxes. They fed each other, they took care of each other, they replaced the capitalist regime and replaced it with AMLO, by just staying home.
It, by DAMN, worked.
It can work here, or anywhere. It is legal. It is safe.

I agree with him that we have the power to get the PTB’S attention.

STRIKE!

And so they can’t call in their goon squads to brutally break up any strike people should just stay home and away from going out on the streets holding signs. When has that worked in the last few decades? He talks about how the PTB have violently attacked people out on the streets so take their power away from them. There are people who can afford to stay home because as we know there are too many people who can’t afford to miss one day of work. They are already suffering the most.

Anywho read his essay. The accompanying graphic sure sums up what we are up against.

@snoopydawg the history professors, when touching upon economic and social history of the US, openly taught, from their lecterns, that a cancer cure existed, but the patents were bought, hidden forever.
They never said the patents were held by Rockefeller. That is new to me.
While we are at it, they also taught that a permanent tire had been invented, and that a major tire manufacturer bought the patent and suppressed it. Same thing for an car engine, possibly invented in India, I can't remember exactly what country, but a US oil company quickly bought and suppressed the patent for an engine that powered cars with water.
My education in those years gives some credence to Dr. Day's speech to his colleagues. Planned Parenthood was at or near every college campus. Gays coming out was a big deal in those years, as well.
I think this event happened, and the drs.' memory of what Dr. Day said does comport with what I was taught.

Dark reading, but a lot of what’s mentioned here has already been put in place.

"Everything is in place and nobody can stop us now." In 1969, ex-Planned Parenthood Medical Director Richard Day Prophesied How the Depopulation Global Agenda Would Unfold

The following is an extended audiotaped account recollecting a 1969 talk given by an ex-Planned Parenthood Medical Director, Richard Day.

Day was preparing his audience of physicians for what was to come.

He asked them not to take notes or record his session.

The parts on medicine and health care really REALLY resonate.

A big item .. was elaborated at some length was the cost of medical care would be made burdensomely high. Medical care would be connected very closely with one's work but also would be made very, very high in cost so that it would simply be unavailable to people beyond a certain time.

"Congress is not going to go along with national health insurance. That (in 1969)," he said, "is now, abundantly evident. But it's not necessary. We have other ways to control health care."

The solo practitioner would become a thing of the past. A few die-hards might try to hold out, but most doctors would be employed by an institution of one kind or another. Group practice would be encouraged, corporations would be encouraged, and then once the corporate image of medical care .. as this gradually became more and more acceptable, doctors would more and more become employees rather than independent contractors. And along with that, of course, unstated but necessary, is the employee serves his employer, not his patient.

Starting in the late 80's we started seeing medical insurance change and first with HMOs and then finally Obamacare that instead of reining in costs saw them explode along with increasing high premiums and deductibles and then junk insurance with low premiums, but enormous deductibles that people can’t afford to meet so they just pay for it in case of an accident or catastrophic illness.

This talk might not have been given, but where we are today compared to when I first started working it sure looks like this dream has come true. Tying insurance to one’s job made people stuck with crappy jobs…well until Obama passed Romney care!
