    You are going to have to ask her. But that’s not all he stated. If he did, no one outside of the scientific community would care.

    What he said was that covid19 was ethnically targeted, targeting to attack Caucasians and black individuals (and not Asians and Jews).

    To this day I don't quite understand many people's perception of the different factions of the left, what one considers a progressive, liberal, standard democrat, centrist, radical/extremist etc seems to vary greatly.

    no that's not what he stated:



    families disagree all the time. dems right now in overdrive to discredit RFK. that hearing I watched today was the cherry on top, and a pathetic showing at that by the folks trying to smear him and then not let him say anything. all they're doing is making the curious do their own research and look into things more

    Because of his intent. “Those crafty Jews and Asians” have it better with Covid.

    This…. It is not new or groundbreaking that certain ethnic groups handle various disease states.

    But since this is new and groundbreaking to folks like @Scarface281 , it can be used to twist and misinform them. What was already established scientific fact then becomes “something the media doesn’t want to tell you” or “even cnn is talking about it”.

    It's exactly what he stated (and other conspiracies about bioweapons). Now he is claiming he didn't even suggest it. He flat out stated it, and the best you can give him is he misspoke, but you can't say he didn't suggest it. He is lying that he didn't even suggest it.

    He said: "And we need to talk about bio weapons. I know a lot now about bio weapons because I've been doing a book on it for the past two and a half years, and the technology that we now have to develop these micro, we've put hundreds of millions of dollars into ethnically-targeted microbes. The Chinese have done the same thing. In fact, COVID-19, there's an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacked certain race disproportionately. The races that are most immune to COVID-19 are, because of the genetic structure (indistinct) genetic diffrentials among different races of the receptors, of the ACE2 receptor. COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The peopel who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese, but we don't know weather it was deliberately targeted that or not, but there are papers out there that show the racial and ethnic differential and impact to that. We do know that the Chinese are spending hundrend of millions of dollars developing ethnic bio weapons and we are develping ethnic bio weapons. That's what all those labs in the Unkraine are about. They're collecting Russian DNA. They're collecting Chinese DNA so that we can target people by race."

    You are clearly a progressive.

    I'm clearly one too.

    Hooray!

    What's a progressive?

    Some thoughts:

    1. The influence of the military-industrial complex is debated, but they do benefit financially from increased military spending and have lobbying power. So they may not openly advocate for more wars, but have an incentive to push for continued high spending.
    2. The US spends vastly more on defense than other nations regardless of monetary system. The huge military budget is deeply entrenched politically.
    3. The entrenched military spending likely persists no matter the monetary system.
    4. There's no clear evidence that the US printed money specifically to fund the Iraq/Afghan wars. The spending was debt-financed. However, some argue the Fed's loose monetary policy in the 2000s enabled the debt-driven spending. However, the major monetary expansion occurred during the Great Recession and Covid panademic, not the wars. Correct me if my understaning here is wrong.
    In summary, I see that the US military spending persists at high levels regardless of the monetary system. Multiple political and economic factors, beyond just fiat money, drive the defense budget. The critique that fiat money enables higher military spending is reasonable in theory, but there is no simple causal relationship evident in recent US wartime spending and monetary policy. I'm afraid it take more than just changing the monetary system to rein in our military-industrial complex spending.

    Outside of this, the idea of what system (gold, fiat, bitcoin, ...) is "better" is way above my thinking. It's way too complex and convoluted for me to make any firm conclusion or statement (and I tried).

    AKA the mainstream media during their job and questioning RFK's position on issues...... It sucks when they ask follow up questions on his positions, such as the Russian Invasion.

    I get it though..... bio weapons targeted at everyone but the Jews and Chinaman just speaks to you.

    LOL..... DC DRAINO twitter handle....... this is your reality huh?

    Hunter Hunter Hunter. Yule C! Propping up a tabloid, the one at the bottom of Murdoch's media empire doesn't have the weight you think it does...... We both know why the flagship WSJ didn't publish the story.

    You actually replied to something instead being a coward.

    The masters are coaching these Democrat slaves what to say and how to conduct themselves. Anyone who is caught running away from the plantation like RFKj will get a whipping. That Debbie Wasseman chic will give any man ED who crosses her path. Yikes!
