I’ve wanted ⁦@RobertKennedyJr⁩ to run for president since 2006.

The time wasn’t right then. His kids weren’t grown yet; his wife didn’t approve.

Now, that coast is clear.

#RFKJr says he’s seriously considering challenging Joe #Biden in 2024. wmur.com/article/robert…
that’s the good news. 👍

The bad news is, he plans to seek the Democratic Party nomination.

The DNC will Bernie this guy so hard… 😬

Even a Kennedy isn’t welcome in the DNC anymore. And especially not *this* Kennedy.

Hope he reconsiders and runs Independent instead.
Sadly, #RFKJr doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in the DNC.

A third-party or Independent ticket with @TulsiGabbard or @jimmy_dore?

Now you’re talking… 🗳
Your thoughts: (POLL)

If @RobertKennedyJr runs for President in ‘24, would you vote for him?
I purposely didn’t include anything about party affiliation in this poll because I don’t think it matters…

However, I’d be curious to hear what party, if any, you’d like to see #RFKJr run with. Drop a comment with your thoughts!
On a recent Maverick News episode about the growing populist Independent movement, I gave @RobertKennedyJr my strongest endorsement! 👍

“The present shouts.
The future whispers.

Our job is to amplify the voice of the future.”

Although foreign movies were censored in the #USSR, Josef #Stalin was known to love American cinema — especially cowboy Westerns — which he screened in his private theatre.

His favorite actor? John Wayne.

Here’s Stalin’s Top 5 Hollywood films 🎥: rbth.com/history/329891…
Even more than westerns, #Stalin loved movies about #Tarzan, which came to #Russia after the war as part of the so-called “trophy movies” – copies of over 17,000 movies stored in the Third Reich’s vaults.
Stalin wrote that:

“Tarzan… is a movie about a man that escapes the horrors of the capitalist world by fleeing to the jungle, where he finds freedom and happiness.” Image

On this 70th anniversary Soviet leader Josef #Stalin’s death, this documentary attempts to answer the question we’ve been asking since 1953:

Who Killed Stalin? 🤔

The most likely suspect was Lavrentiy Beria, longtime chief of #Stalin’s secret police.

After Stalin’s death, his eventual successor Nikita #Khrushchev did not charge Beria with the murder; rather, of being a traitor and spy in the pay of British intelligence! 🤨 ImageImage
Beria was convicted and executed in Dec. 1953.

At Beria's trial, it became known that he had committed numerous brutal rapes during the years he was NKVD chief.

Beria’s reputation as a serial rapist evidently became known to Stalin, who was increasingly distrustful of him.

On the site of today's Graz Airport in Austria is where the world's first concentration camp once stood: Thalerhof.

During #WWI, #Thalerhof was known as the cruellest torture chamber of all Austrian prisons in the Habsburg Empire.

Who was kept there and what was their crime?
Their only crime was being Russian.
The Austro-Hungarian authorities imprisoned leaders of the Russophile movement among Carpatho-Rusyns, Lemkos, and Galicians; those who recognized the Russian language as the literary standard form of their own Slavic language varieties and had sympathy for the Russian Empire.

If you missed our LIVE broadcast of today’s Rage Against The War Machine rally in D.C., we did a marathon 8 hours of coverage.

Watch the replay here: ⬇️☮️

@RageAgainstWar_ @RealCPIUSA @RealCalebMaupin @RealScottRitter @LPNational @PeoplesParty_US

Sorry the sound/picture quality is pretty poor in the first hour, we picked up a better quality camera/mic around the 1 hour mark…
Given this crap economy 💸 and the hassle of flying ✈️ nowadays, more people were inclined to join this rally virtually — we understand.

It’s important to have a good quality livestream for those who couldn’t attend in person. We did our best to bring you the entire lineup! ☮️

Scott Ritter’s appearance at today's Rage Against the War Machine rally D.C. was canceled this week.

Organizers said it was because “his criminal convictions are despicable and contradict our values."

Ritter sets the record straight in this interview:
Part 2 of this exclusive interview -- in which Scott Ritter addresses the allegations fully and responds to his critics for the first time -- is here:

Part 3 will air tonight after the Rage Against War rally tonight at 7 PM Eastern.

Those who say #LBJ killed #JFK do a great disservice to both men.

Despite his youth, Kennedy was in frail health with an illness that could kill him. He chose his successor with care. Johnson was the man he selected, over many objections.

As he said himself, LBJ was HIS man.
Source: New York Times coverage of Kennedy’s announcement of VP nominee, Democratic National Convention. July 15, 1960.

Sen. Kennedy said many times throughout the primary season of 1960 that because of LBJ’s many years as Senate Majority Leader, “Lyndon Johnson is the best qualified man to run the country of all the candidates in this race, including myself.”
