Brilliant synopsis of the historical context for the Ukraine War. Can anyone read this and still maintain, as the Biden administration does incessantly, that the invasion was “unprovoked”? #Kennedy24

In fact, no one in the administration or foreign policy establishment is that ignorant. Of course they know it was provoked. They wanted war as part of their strategic grand plan to destroy any country such as Russia that resists American imperial expansion.
They only pretend to think it was unprovoked. They are lying to us, manufacturing consent for war. The administration has dragged us into a proxy war on false pretenses. The blood of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians is on their hands, not to mention over $100 billion U.S.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

No one is safe! Be afraid! Are we ready to outgrow this kind of messaging?

In the COVID era gestalt, “Safety” means social control through fear. Fear is the instrument of tyranny. What happened to the daring and imagination that built this country? Can’t we aspire to something higher than safety?
Yeah, it’s not safe all right. It’s not safe for you to see the data. It's not safe for you to have your own thoughts. It's not safe for you to question authority. It's not safe to criticize the oligarchs who are crushing your freedoms and taking your money. Not safe for them,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Most Democrats agree that the 2001 election was stolen from Al Gore. In 2005, I wrote an award-winning article for Rolling Stone showing how the deceptive use of Diebold voting machines in six Ohio counties constituted massive and consequential election fraud, possibly stealing… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
It serves no point to keep arguing over the integrity of past elections. The important thing, that we can all agree on, is the project of implementing an impervious and trustworthy election system.
How hard can it be? Los Vegas’s whole gambling industry depends on counting machines that never make mistakes. There are ATM machines on every city corner that never give you more money than you ask for. As a world leader in technology, I am sure we can create a voting system… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Following @mtaibbi’s terrific reporting on the Durham investigation. This is no partisan skirmish. It is about the political weaponization of the FBI to destroy a candidate and then a sitting President. It’s about a matrix of lies so elaborate as to make a mockery of the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Maybe most alarming of all, the Durham investigation reveals the abject complicity of the mainstream press, which has yet to admit they were taken in by the big lie, propagated it, and now continues to permit those lies to stand as truth.

Maybe there is another way to raise up the middle and working class besides just taxing the rich. Take a look at the chart in this article. #Kennedy24

qz.com/union-membersh…
The top share of income going to the top 10% has increased from 35% in 1945 to more than 45% today. Union membership has declined in the same period from 33% to about 10% — its lowest level since the 1930s.
From the end of WWII through the 1980s, income distribution stayed relatively constant. But union membership began declining, and the share of income going to the bottom 90% followed it. Capitalism only functions equitably if workers have the collective bargaining power of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Yesterday, President Biden announced Dr. Monica Bertagnolli as his intended nominee for Director of the NIH. Guess what? From 2015-2021, Bertagnolli received more than 116 grants from Pfizer, totaling $290.8 million. This amount made up 89% of all her. research grants.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Does this mean Dr. Bertagnolli is personally corrupt? Not at all. But it does mean that she will probably represent the viewpoints and priorities of the pharmaceutical industry. That is how agencies are captured.
Oh, and guess what else? The White House left the Pfizer connection out of its announcement of the nomination. @TheChiefNerd has helpfully depicted what the announcement should have said.

Close to 700 former officials now work for defense contractors. That’s what Elizabeth Warren has exposed in her aptly titled report, “Pentagon Alchemy: How Defense Officials Pass Through the Revolving Door and Peddle Brass for Gold.” Thank you @SenWarren.

warren.senate.gov/oversight/repo…
The “revolving door,” operates way beyond the defense industry. People shuttle back and forth between industry and the EPA, the FDA, the CDC, the FCC, the USDA... pretty much every regulatory body. I’ve seen it first hand in my dealings with Big Pharma and corporate polluters.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Here’s the deal: if you protect the interests of industry while you are in office, you are assured a lucrative position upon retiring from government service. If you don’t play ball, you’ve sabotaged any hope of becoming a highly paid influence peddler, lobbyist, consultant,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
