Well said. The Democratic Party needs not only a new candidate, but new leadership. They lost their base and should think about what they can do to get it back.

And a little hint: their donors are not the answer to that question.

Past the point of no return. At least by the time Hillary was foisted on the party instead of allowing honest competition with Bernie.

I can no longer see the democratic nominee of any importance. The powers making decisions the past 4 years haven’t been Biden, but the corporations, elites, and billionaires who own both parties. Biden was pliable, someone who was easy to control and carry out their agenda. Nothing changes with red or blue. RFK is focused on giving the government back to the people.

no remotely true, taking a swing at "all" billionaires

problem being all three candidates are flanked by.... billionaires

error of equivalency on full display

There is however no question that the Dem battleship has taken a direct hit from expert

marksman RFK, He will occupy a very necessary cabinet position for DJT

Take a gander down the tracks and stop crowing. Some Beaconites have figured it out.

"The Hard Road to World Order" Richard N. Gardner,

Foreign Affairs, Council On Foreign Relations, 1974

"The hopeful aspect of the present situation is that even as nations

resist appeals for "world government" and "the surrender

of sovereignty," technological, economic and political interests

are forcing them to establish more and more far-reaching

arrangements to manage their mutual interdependence." Page 559

Thank you for this link. Brought me to tears and I preordered “This is Treason” solely to support their efforts to get the word out. I am sickened by the current administration and the dept state uniparty.

If Biden is still the Democrat candidate then the two stuffy old men will look exceptionally poor next to Bobbie Kennedy. And, if Biden "wins" the election then no-one will doubt that it was stolen this time.

That is a very good essay and it certainly states what I believe - that "government", whatever and whoever that is at this point, has lied so much over the past decades from Vietnam to now, that most citizens have no trust in the Dems or the Reps. Nobody I know has any belief that either party will make a difference, yet most have bought into the lie that if Trump wins , that would be the end of America as a democracy and the start of fascism. The problem is that we are already there as the antics of the DNC demonstrate.

I'm glad Bobby has finally gotten Secret Service protection. The fact that Biden refused it for Bobby and for Jill Stein is a strong indication that the man is not only senile but also very nasty at heart. I'm pleased to note that Bobby would stop the Ukraine war and I assume also the Yemen one, but VERY disappointed that he seems to be for the Israeli massacre which confuses me no end and means that I can't vote for him, either. His silence on this matter means I cannot trust him on what he says about Ukraine, or any other war we are providing arms for. I've said this before and as a result various people who work for his campaign have answered my com[plaint saying the he is opposed to genocide. But I have yet to hear BOBBY say that!!! And no one has sent me a link that shows him talking about how strongly he disapproves of the Israeli genocide. Until that happens, I will vote for Jill, not Bobby, even though I approve of most of what he says. He is playing this game too close to the chest, and I think he needs to explain his thinking about Israeli actions that amount to wholesale murder; I know that I am not the only one who feels that way - no vote for Bobby because he refuses to speak out about Israeli genocide. I think he could win the the presidency if he did speak out, and I think he would get more donations, but I know that AIPAC and other Israeli groups are funding him already and he doesn't want to anger them and have them stop sending him money. I hope he will take a chance and speak out with the truth that I hope he feels. If he can't do that, then he isn't much better than the two candidates of the 2 major parties.

Inaccurate assessment

the only reason that "Bobby" has SS protection is a call made by DJT

Bobby has shot himself in the foot many many times and has zero chance.

Bobby knows this and will be a strong member of DJT's cabinet

Former democrats including me (a dem for 50+ years) finally moved to the Republican camp permanently,based on the destructive lunatic behavior of the left which cannot abide a scintilla of truth and requires all Dems to spout the party narrative no matter how unhinged, non factual, and absurd it may be. The lack of interest in adherence to our Constitution is unacceptable.

Calling Trump Hitler, or a dictator who will end our country could only be spouted by complete morons who absolutely deserve to be sued for defamation. Trump was President for 4 years and although Dem controlled media never reported it, he was not Hitler or a dictator, he was moving our country in the right direction:

Energy prices were low and we were heading for energy independence.

Inflation was reasonable

Mortgage rates were low

Taxes were cut a lot for working people (doubled standard deduction)

He was building the wall and the illegal influx was lowest in years.

He cut bureaucratic rules and regulations

He demanded fair trade reciprocity and imposed retaliatory tariffs

Negotiated the Abraham accords...and a tentative peace in the Middle East

UKraine and Russia were not at war.

And much much more.

I come from the working classes and my father (b. 1911) was an early Union man who never crossed over a picket line by strikers. Democrat for life. I do not think he would be one today.

Trump seems to be the only one truly concerned about the plight of all middle and working class Americans as their jobs are threatened by illegals. Working class people are moving to the Republican Party in droves.

Energy costs feed all inflation and we need energy independence. EV’s seriously? it takes me 400+ miles to reach the north Florida state line from where I live now. EV’s need to recharge every 250 miles, why not hybrid s or high mileage gas cars?

Climate change and the green deal is a hoax as 1500+ climate scientist have asserted in a signed statement.

Trump takes the constitution seriously and defends the 2nd Amendment, the 1st amendment, he will close the border and deport the illegals ASAP. These people cost a fortune, are unvetted, many are violent criminals, send them away from our country and out of our dangerous cities.

He will impose more tariffs and bring capital investment back to the USA.

He will end the absurd woke agenda and remove MEN from women’s sports and prevent DEI discrimination and instead allow merit based competition.

He will return education oversight to the states where it belongs.

He will work with world leaders to end the dangerous wars putting all at risk for WW3.

He will instill a respect for God and ethics in our government and religious freedoms will apply to ALL faiths.

He will keep the Trump tax cuts.

He will demand NATO and UN member nations of all Global organizations pay their fair share.

He will not cede our sovereignty to any organization, WHO, UN, WEF, NATO or any others.

He will put America first and Americans first.

He will Make America Great Again

He will give all of us hope for a better future.

-----------------

Will Biden even know if he pushes the button that will end our world?

If anyone has dictatorial tendencies it is the puppet Biden administration issuing illegal vaccine mandates, spewing propaganda legalized by Obama (which will be rescinded) and buying votes by trying to illegally forgive student debt, censoring free speech all over the internet and weaponizing the justice system.

The only truthful thing Biden ever stated was in 2020 when he mentioned he wasn’t worried about the campaign because he and Obama designed the best voter fraud system in history. When he pushed Build Back Better in 2020, he did not reveal that this is a Global Elite plan to destroy everything Americans hold dear because the plan is to TEAR DOWN our country’s institutions and surrender our sovereignty in order to Build it Back Better for the unelected Global elites, in keeping with their UN agenda 2030, not for the Americans who built this country.

The Dems are in league with the Global Elites, like Klaus Schwab, Soros, Gates and the others who want to destroy us with their genocidal bioweapon vaccines.

So, RFK, how can you possibly think this is the Democratic Party of your Uncle and Father?

They want us and our children gone, they just want to hang on to power a little longer to get closer to their goals.

I believe in Almighty God and the redemption and truth in Jesus Christ.

I pray for the safety of Trump and RFK and even the Biden puppet.

I pray for the truth to be revealed and for our Constitutional Republic under God, to be restored.

Ultimately the truth will come out as God wants it that way.

Those who have committed Crimes Against Humanity in the bio weapon mRNA vaccine program, deserve to face Nuremberg2 trials with the maximum penalty possible on this earth if convicted. The evidence of these crimes is overwhelming as RFK is well aware.

How about operation warp speed? How about appointing Bolton and Gottlieb and all those other alligators? How about sending weapons to Ukraine? I truly believe Trump is a better alternative if the election is only between him and a democrat, but at least so far he has shown no capacity nor will to drain any swamp, sorry Trump fans. If he wins, I hope he finds a way to do what he promised otherwise he is just a demagogue.

"Show me the evidence and I’ll believe you" I wish this were true. The evidence of deliberate genocide in Gaza is colossal, according to the UN definition. Yet RFK Jr. refuses to acknowledge the obvious. Is it merely a question of Jewish donors? He is good on all the issues but awful on this one of elementary humanity.

I've strongly disagreed with RFK's support for Zionism since June '23 when he repudiated Roger Waters. However, I don't believe that RFK has been "bought off." RFK's former campaign manager Dennis Kucinich has said that "there is no greater friend of Israel" than RFK. Tragically, I believe that RFK is actually a true believer in Zionism. I think of it as religious belief or if your daughter was "in love" with the tattooed biker dude.

You can't "reason" people out of such a belief. I wish that RFK had the capacity on this issue to follow his own rejoinder on the vaccine issue "Show me where I'm wrong." I think RFK actually believes Israel's hasbara on the Gaza Genocide; and thinks he is taking a courageous & principled stand despite it costing him support and voters. It took me many months to come to the conclusion that RFK actually believes Israel's "official narrative" BS. I just couldn't comprehend that such an intelligent man could fall for easily debunked lies. He's trusted too much in the likes of Smuley Boteach & John Spencer; instead, I wish RFK had kept his promise to talk with Max Blumenthal.

“THERE IS NO MAFIA”, SAID FBI’S DIRECTOR J. EDGAR HOOVER

https://www.nationalcrimesyndicate.com/there-is-no-mafia-said-fbis-director-j-edgar-hoover/

Gerald Ford said in his autobio that he went to the FBI when he was on the Warren Commission to report that the CIA was destroying files. They told him to keep an eye on things & report back to them.

Jack Ruby to the Warren Commission:

"Consequently, a whole new form of government is going to take over our country, and I know I won’t live to see you another time." page 30/210

https://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh5/pdf/WH5_JackRuby.pdf

How did Ruby know about the New World Order in 1964?

"Giuseppe Mazzini (1805-72)"

"After Weishaupt died on November 18, 1830 at the age of 82, Giuseppe Mazzini (1805-72), an Italian patriot and revolutionary leader, was appointed head of the Illuminati in 1834.

In 1860, Giuseppe Mazzini had formed an organization called the 'Oblonica,' a name derived from the Latin 'obelus', which means: "I beckon with a spit (dagger)." Within this group, he established an inner circle called the Mafia.

About 1000 A.D., after the Normans had driven the Arabs out of Sicily, they established a feudal system. Overseers to guard each feudi were chosen from known criminals. Skirmishes between the Barons were fought by these criminals. Although feudal privileges were abolished in 1812, these overseers retained control of the land through leasing arrangements. It was this band of criminals that Mazzini gave the name 'Mafia', which was an acronym for Mazzini, Autorizza, Furti, Incendi, and Avvelengmenti. Known as the Mafiosi, they were authorized by Mazzini to commit thefts, arson and murder. It was this organization that came to America during the 1890's with the beginning of Italian immigration."

So now, the Globalists are in control of finance, law, media, intelligence & organized crime. How can you lose?

“My father told me when I was a little boy that people in authority lie, and the job in a democracy is to remain skeptical. ... Show me the evidence and I’ll believe you, but I’m not going to take the word of official narratives.” – Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

. . .

“I have tried and mostly failed to change the mind of one man (Robert F. Kennedy Jr.) immersed in a “pro-Israel” narrative. He can meet any point by recourse to what I consider a “potted history,” a body of tendentious pseudo-scholarship and curated facts constructed within an alternate universe of Zionist institutes, centers, university departments, and think tanks. Doubtless, he believes that I am similarly deluded in my recourse to authors like Rashid Khalidi, Ilan Pappe, Norman Finkelstein, and Max Blumenthal.”

“If I can’t change the mind of one man, who isn’t even a party to the conflict, what hope is there to achieve peace by that route? We have to appeal to something beyond reason. We have to appeal to the revulsion that says, “I don’t care if the slaughter is justified, it has to stop anyway!” … I have given up on changing Kennedy’s mind on this issue, but I have faith in the goodness of his heart and its power to orient him toward peace.” https://charleseisenstein.substack.com/p/how-to-heal-the-wound-of-gaza

"My father told me when I was a little boy that people in authority lie ... show me the evidence and I’ll believe you, but I’m not going to take the word of official narratives.”

. . .

“The only sin is pride.” RFK's father quoted that line from Sophocles's play in a 1968 speech against the Vietnam War. "Conflict in Vietnam and at home":“... a third great cause of discontent is the course we are following in Vietnam: in a war which has divided Americans … I am concerned … that the course we are following at the present time is deeply wrong. … that we are acting as if no other nations existed, against the judgment and desires of neutrals and our historic allies alike … that our present course will not bring victory; will not bring peace; will not stop the bloodshed; and will not advance the interests of the United States or the cause of peace in the world. I am concerned that, at the end of it all … they may say, as Tacitus said of Rome: "They made a desert, and called it peace."

“I was involved in many of the early decisions on Vietnam, decisions that helped set us on our present path. It may be that the effort was doomed from the start … But past error is no excuse for its own perpetuation. Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live. Now as ever, we do ourselves best justice when we measure ourselves against ancient tests, as in the Antigone of Sophocles: "All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only sin is pride."

His son, RFK, Jr is also fond of that quote. He used it to preface his 2016 book and in a 12/11/23 tweet. So, it's tragic RFK hasn't followed in his father's footsteps to apply Sophocles's advice and reconsidered his support of the Gaza Genocide. Unfortunately, RFK is still parroting the same propaganda as he did 8 months ago. He hasn't learned a thing. It appears pride is his sin, his Achilles heel, and that he refuses to admit his error and make amends.
