Kirk Gallaway Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 1 hour ago, W. Niederhut said: Cliff, RFK, Jr. reminds me of some addicts I have worked with-- or heard about-- who are hostile to psychopharmaceuticals. There is a subset of recovering addicts who used to harass my former patients in AA or NA for taking antidepressants or mood stabilizers (for depression and bipolar disorder.) Ironically, RFK, Jr. has injected heroin and anabolic steroids, while advising people to avoid vaccines and antidepressants. He's an ignoramus who thinks he's a genius. I also noticed-- while watching the documentary, JFK Revisited-- that RFK, Jr. needs psychotherapy. He was so overwhelmed with grief while talking about the murders of his father and uncle that he couldn't even speak-- more than 50 years after the incidents. That's an obvious sign of a person who has avoided working through their PTSD issues in psychotherapy. My hunch is that he has avoided working through his grief for 60 years, while taking recreational drugs and acting out his unresolved rage in public-- e.g., toward doctors and other perceived malefactors. I agree W. I do think there are unresolved PTSD issues with RK. I'm reminded of a story from Stephen Talbot who credits himself with first turning on RK to the fact that both his Father and Uncle were killed by conspiracies in 2004! He said RK coming to grips with Talbot's information was rather traumatic and he said his Mother always told the kids to "look ahead and not behind. " As I've said many times, the Kennedy clan have historically been absolutely useless to the cause and work of the JFKA conspiracy community. And their help could have been critical in the 60's but even so in the 70's . The forum is completely behind the Talbot idea that RFK if elected President would vigorously gone after the people behind the JFKA conspiracy, But there are only 2 pieces of evidence to that fact, and one isn't evidence at all. I forget some of the exact details but Talbot used the word of the wife of Walter Sheridan in his interview, I believe in the 90's or early 200's, long after Sheridan died. Talbot seemed to think she was very credible source but previously Di Eugenio has completely slandered Sheridan for his role in a 1967 CBS documentary that soft pedaled the JFKA. So i pointed out the contradiction there and it wasn't well received. The other quoted source that it seemed the forum embraced was a RFK aide, Adam Walinsky But when quoted Walinsky said that the potential RFK Presidential investigation was something that was fraught with danger if it didn't succeed and would require great deliberation if it was to be pursued. That statement was adopted here as if it was evidence that RFK would positively have launched an investigation into his brother's death, but the statement is very much the opposite, and yet it's now been accepted and bandied about the forum as if it's a hard fact! I'm open to any other evidence. But back to the point to Talbot's account, RK was finally considering that there was a conspiracy behind his Father and Uncle's death at 50 years old! And the excuse he gave for not being curious is that his Mother told all the kids to "look forward."?? He obviously just blotted out the entire chapter of his life. What a therapeutically dumbass thing to say, to your kids, but typical of the time. Even though he first started his researching in 2004, It's amazing how people here embrace RK as a real researcher! I'm sure he's now read Douglas, Scott, Talbot and Di Eugenio's, books which in some cases I think RK could come out after reading with a family Messiah complex! JMO He has a real dummied down, simplistic view of his family's legacy. But now it's pretty obvious he's been using the JFKA to fuel his campaign. He's so conveniently dummyed down, playing up his family peacemaker image, to "My Dad and Uncle were peacemakers and loved the U.S. S. R. so with the spirit of world peace we should give Putin everything he wants in Ukraine! This is a f----g travesty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I see the direction now as Biden. So we'll see on Nov. 5th. Yes indeed. And I admit 15 million is probably a stretch lol. But I feel pretty confident about the 12 million number.

Kirk Gallaway Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Actually Matt, I did a little math and it's not such a stretch but not a landslide either. It was the best voter turnout in years in 2020. If most all of those people vote in 24 and we have say, 5 million more new voters from people coming of age to vote. If my scenario,, (which I don't stand firmly behind) of Trump losing a step and falling to 4% behind Biden and didn't advance beyond that point, Biden would win by near 12 million! votes.! After figuring it out, I would say a landslide would be near a 20 million vote margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Griffith Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I can tell you from my own experience as a Kennedy-Shanahan volunteer in Virginia, that about one-fourth of the volunteers in my area used to be Trump supporters. Mind you, these are volunteers, not just voters. They like RFK Jr. because he strongly backs securing the border, requiring a photo ID to vote, getting the federal budget under control, enforcing laws against hiring illegal immigrants, protecting religious freedom, banning biological males from women's sports, banning transgender surgery and puberty blockers for minors, protecting gun rights, and standing by the state of Israel. They disagree with him on many issues, but they can tolerate those disagreements because of his above-mentioned positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W. Niederhut Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) Who Is RFK, Jr.'s right-wing MAGA sugar daddy, Tim Mellon? (What would Cesar Chavez have to say about this guy bankrolling RFK, Jr.?) Timothy Mellon - Wikipedia Political donations[edit] In 2010, Mellon donated $1.5 million to Arizona's defense fund to help cover the costs of legal challenges against Arizona SB 1070,[8] the broadest and strictest anti-illegal immigration measure in the United States at the time of its passage.[9][3] It has received national and international attention and has spurred considerable controversy.[10][11] In the 2018 election cycle, Mellon was a major political donor, especially to the Republican-aligned Congressional Leadership Fund.[12] According to OpenSecrets, in 2020 and 2022, he was the 6th and 5th most prolific donor in the US, spending $60 million and $47 million respectively to support Republican candidates and causes.[13] Mellon's self-published autobiography describes his political views.[14][15] Mellon called social safety net programs "Slavery Redux," adding: "For delivering their votes in the Federal Elections, they are awarded with yet more and more freebies: food stamps, cell phones, WIC payments, Obamacare, and on, and on, and on. The largess is funded by the hardworking folks, fewer and fewer in number, who are too honest or too proud to allow themselves to sink into this morass." Mellon wrote that as of 1984 (Reagan's re-election campaign), "Something had obviously gone dreadfully wrong with the Great Society and the Liberal onslaught. Poor people had become no less poor. Black people, in spite of heroic efforts by the 'Establishment' to right the wrongs of the past, became even more belligerent and unwilling to pitch in to improve their own situations," and that "Drugs rose to the level of epidemic. Single parent families became more and more prevalent. The likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton pandered endlessly to fan the flames."[14] In August 2021, Mellon donated $53.1 million in stock to the State of Texas to pay for construction of walls along the US–Mexico border.[16] In August 2023, it was revealed that Mellon donated $5 million via a Super PAC to the presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.[17] On April 10, 2024, The New York Times reported that Mellon was the largest single donor to Kennedy's super PAC, giving $20 million over the past year and $15 million to Trump's super PAC MAGA Inc.[18] Edited May 22 by W.

Trump has been smearing RFK Jr. all over the place. So has Biden. So have the DNC and the RNC. Both Democrats and Republicans have been trying to sabotage his campaign (Democrats have been the worst offenders, but some Republicans are not far behind them in dishonorable conduct toward Kennedy). No rational person who is following RFK Jr.'s campaign and who knows about his positions on the issues could believe that his campaign has been "hijacked by MAGA." Diehard Democrats and Republicans are both proving to be incapable of going against their party. And, just FYI, about 25% of RFK Jr.'s donations are coming from people who donated to Trump in 2016 and/or 2020, while about 35% are coming from people who donated to Hillary and/or Biden, and the rest are coming from people who did not donate to either party in 2016 and/or 2020. Blind partisans just can't wrap their minds around the fact that Kennedy is attracting many people who had given up on the political process.
