Where's the Outrage? Leading U.S. Candidates are Censored or Pilloried
Amid Growing Consensus-Stop the Trump Prosecutions
The news cycle is bursting at the seams lately. There is so much going on nationally and internationally, it is challenging to choose what topic to focus on. I had thought I was going to write mostly about a response to what is happening in Niger and the coup d état that has removed a national head of state friendly to Western interests. Niger is an important exporter of uranium to France and has been one of 14 African nations tied to the Franc zone and the CFA franc currency. That arrangement going back to the post-WWII Bretton Woods accords has kept those nations according to some critics in economic thralldom most beneficial to France.
In the aftermath of the coup, (the Niger junta government) is demanding the removal of all French troops stationed within its borders. So far, contracts for supplying uranium to France and the EU have not been interrupted nor impacted the inventories required to maintain normal operations of nuclear power plants on the European continent.
Victoria Nuland, the American deputy Secretary of State was dispatched to see if she could intervene and persuade the newly installed junta government to mend its ways and restore ousted president Mohamed Bazoum to office.
The developments in Africa have shaken the tree of the neocolonial exploiters who have enjoyed extracting the mineral wealth of nations like Niger and come out with the lion’s share of profits.
The dynamic afoot is particularly concerning to the NATO bloc and to its Africa Union (AU) relations. Russia’s President Putin has inserted considerable influence into the region’s politics lately with his promised gift of grain to the poorest of nations and some 20 billion dollars in debt forgiveness of African neighboring states. The recent summit in St. Petersburg won additional favor when Putin reinforced;
“Russia’s long-standing support for Africans resisting imperialism and the predatory nature of western neo-colonialism. This works brilliantly for Russia today, which has no colonial history of exploitation and plunder of Africa.”
All eyes are on how the North Atlantic nations along with their U.S. partner handle a fragile and sensitive diplomatic crisis that could rapidly devolve into a military blow-up. At issue is African nations increasing insistence that they be treated as sovereign nations whose national interests are henceforth respected and every bit as valid as the more powerful so-called 1st world nations.
“At its core, without doubt, the coup in Niger Republic narrows down to a struggle between Nigeriens and the colonial powers. To be sure, the growing trend of multipolarity in the world order emboldens African nations to shake off neo-colonialism. This is one thing. On the other hand, the big powers are being compelled to negotiate rather than dictate."1
On the domestic front, as part of election coverage, Tucker Carlson sat down with Robert Kennedy Jr. for another interview. Their discussion brought some sensitive issues before viewers that continue to exacerbate the deep partisan divide that runs through the nation. The information-packed interlude which occurred was a refreshing change from the usual gaslighting that is emitted from the likes of Biden or Pence or Christie.
Almost laughable was Tucker’s question of why Bobby Kennedy finds himself such a victim of vitriol and disparagement by the corporate-controlled media. The immediate answer took a circuitous route around the term conspiracy theorist and how that term got launched in the press around the investigations following the assassination of his uncle President Kennedy. There was and remains the conspiracy that Oswald was not the sole assassin of the president, but was one among others who were shooters that day in Dallas.
To contradict the U.S. government’s approved narrative that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman who killed JFK puts you in the category of being a conspiracy theorist bordering on a nut case. Further questioning by Tucker elicited a deeper dive into the facts that Bobby Jr. has uncovered in the generous interval of time that has transpired since those dates when first his uncle and then father were fatally shot.
The remainder of the interview served as a perfect illustration of the exact reasons why Bobby Kennedy Jr. is the persona non-grata of the Liberal Eastern establishment and its bought and paid-for mainstream, network news organizations.
He is not afraid to investigate the truth and stand by and defend that truth as he sees it. He might not be directly over the target at all times, but at least he has the courage of his convictions and he is willing to buck conventional wisdom, including the political winds that threaten like a gale force to blow against his face, even the betrayal by his own clan members.
The subjects he discussed with Tucker were issues that a lot of people consider incendiary topics. As Tucker alluded to when talking about controversial issues like the open southern border and the droves of undocumented immigrants coming over the border is something that should be discussed in normal conversation by inquiring minds. But he acknowledged that not everyone can approach certain hot political issues without getting overly emotional and resorting to negative attacks against people who they disagree with.
For Mr. Kennedy, he has had to endure members of his extended family who dismiss him as a quack, crazy or worse. Perhaps no other individual besides Donald Trump is suffering the abuse of the worst kind of vitriol being hurled at their person by the popular press and social media as Robert Kennedy Jr.
And that’s because he is talking about the real back stories that have led up to the confrontation between Putin’s Russia and the NATO forces backing the Zelensky regime in Ukraine. It takes some open-mindedness and a willingness to listen to a lengthy explanation to understand the current conflict from the Russian perspective. Understanding that there is wartime propaganda coming out from all sides, including our own, the neocons on the left and right will not tolerate anything that doesn’t demonize Putin and blame him for starting the hostilities. Kennedy is no Putin puppet. Despite much evidence pointing to years of provocation coming from the West and a plethora of alternative news commentary attesting to the facts that Russia’s repeatedly requested diplomatic negotiations over their security concerns were summarily dismissed by a U.S. diplomatic corps seemingly missing in action.
Kennedy rather succinctly recapitulated the factual storyline of what prompted Russia’s eventual decision to launch the military operation that has now escalated into Ukraine experiencing massive troop casualties and widespread devastation.
So Kennedy is one more voice that is being censored in mainstream media because he refuses to lie to the American public.
Such is the supercharged polarization rampant in our political climate today. Wandering off script from the approved security state narrative concerning hot-button issues like the Ukraine conflict gets you banned if you are a social influencer with a decent following and a sizable audience.
On the 4 major themes that were under discussion between Tucker Carlson and Robert Kennedy Jr., the politically correct narratives were being pummeled by the educational commentary that Kennedy was providing, and which Tucker was allowing to be articulated without interruption.
On offer was a reasonable critical assessment of controversial current affairs on which researchable documentation can be sourced and produced by an individual who has the resources, contacts, and training to dig deep into the facts of a case. At least twice that I can recall, Mr. Kennedy refrained from making a definitive statement about something when he confessed that he had not seen enough evidence to prove a given contention. That goes with his lawyerly training, but also with his character and reputation.
That reputation gained in a 25+ years, legal career defending victims of adverse injuries and debilities litigated in medical malpractice suits is being barraged by a campaign to discredit and defame him because he has persisted in exposing corporate coverups and corruption.
Tucker’s line of questioning elicited answers that got into examining the role of the CIA in the assassination of President John Kennedy. His candid remarks about The NATO provocation of Russia and the West’s refusal to arrive at a security settlement that could have defused the situation well before the military conflict erupted has placed him at odds with the American Pravda network.
He made news when reporting on his recent trip to the southern border wall in Yuma, Arizona. Surprising was his observation, when on two separate occasions, a total of 4 buses filled with (illegal) immigrants disembarked nationals from Asian and Middle Eastern countries, with only a single family among them originating from a Central American country. That report was eye-opening and holds a lot of implications negatively impacting our national security and the integrity of the upcoming elections.
Finally, we learned in that interview that although Bobby Kennedy is a declared national candidate whose poll numbers identify him as a legitimate, credible contender in the U.S. presidential race, yet he has not been awarded any secret service protection by the Biden administration. Mr. Kennedy’s team looked into the national archive records and discovered that this is unprecedented in U.S. election history. No other candidate of national prominence in the modern era has been denied a secret service detail at this timeline coming into the primary season.
What we are witnessing are blatant efforts being made by the Biden collective to silence all dissenting opinions from any political opponents that dare to question the administration’s approved messaging. That is bad enough. Worse is the outright complicity of the corporate news networks to enable a Democrat-party-controlled, Pravda-esque, narrative to get published that explicitly gaslights the American news consumer with repeated lies and more lies.
Most egregious is the lack of accountability that one might expect to be found among our representatives in Congress. Forget any Democrats calling out the executive branch for pursuing politics while ignoring the rule of law. Now, the loudest critics, (e.g., Mark Levin, Dan Bongino, Dr. Steve Turley, even Jonathan Turley and Alan Dershowitz) are wondering what happened to the — “gutless and feckless” in Steve Turley’s words— Republicans that should be investigating, subpoenaing, and prosecuting the glaring illegal activities perpetrated by residents in the Whitehouse, DOJ, and State Dept. just to name the most odious criminality underway.
The efforts to de-legitimize the candidacy of Donald Trump by burying him in bogus indictments and the blackballing of Robert Kennedy Jr. by his own Party and colleagues, including those who should be out front defending his right to free speech guaranteed under our Constitution, is a testament to the new, low, lows being plumbed by the current crop of plutocrats running amok in Washington, DC.
Will enough Republicans and maybe even a dissenting Democrat or two be enough to rein in an out-of-control, outlaw regime run by the criminal cabal installed in the Whitehouse and their allied government haunts?
One powerful answer:
