New York Post

Quote:
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dished out wild COVID-19 conspiracy theories this week during a press event at an Upper East Side restaurant, claiming the bug was a genetically engineered bioweapon that may have been “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people.

COVID-19. There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately,” Kennedy said. “COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.”

“We don’t know whether it was deliberately targeted or not but there are papers out there that show the racial or ethnic differential and impact,” Kennedy hedged.


RFK Jr. tied to controversial streamer who claimed Hitler was ‘utterly set up’ by Jews
Quote:
Political scion and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — and his anti-vaccine group — appear to be followers of a fringe Internet streamer known for promoting conspiracy theories about 9/11 and the 2021 Sandy Hook massacre as well as antisemitic claims about the Holocaust.

According to a report by Media Matters, a nonprofit group that monitors news outlets, Kennedy appeared on James Corbett’s show in 2021 and thanked him for what he deemed his “extraordinary work for keeping the public informed.” Corbett has also been featured in multiple videos and recently spoke at a symposium hosted by Kennedy’s anti-vaccine group, Children’s Health Defense, which has promoted falsehoods about vaccine safety.

Kennedy’s group hosted Corbett at a March 4 symposium, in a session titled, “The Future Food False Flags.”

Corbett claimed in a 2013 broadcast that Adolf Hitler was a member of the Rothschilds, a Jewish banking family and the target of antisemitic conspiracy theories. He also said, “Hitler and the Nazis were 100% completely and utterly set up and made it into what they were by the international banking community and the international crony capitalists, including those in America.”

He produced a video titled “9/11 Suspects: Dancing Israelis,” that claimed Israeli intelligence had advanced knowledge of the attacks and openly celebrated them.

Media Matters revealed last month that Children’s Health Defense sought support from users of Gab, a social media platform that caters to far-right extremists and circulates antisemitic tropes, and engaged with its founder, Andrew Torba, who has shared his antisemitic beliefs and anti-Jewish conspiracy theories on the site.

Its getting hard to keep your Kennedies straight these days.

We have a senator "John Kennedy" from Louisianna who is a prominent conservative Republican (former Dixiecrat who switched parties in 2007) in the United States Senate, on speed dial on the phones of Fox TV, who kowtows to the NRA, but who...has NO kinship to his namesake (the martyred Democrat POTUS of the Massachusetts Kennedy clan John Fitzgerald Kennedy).

But NOW we also have a guy who IS part of the famous Massachusetts Kennedy Democrat Dynasty, and RFK's son and namesake, but who espouses crazy MAGA nonsense that you might expect from...the unrelated Louisiana GOP John Kennedy ( except that I suspect that even THAT Kennedy would be embarrassed to say something that crazy).

Very confusing.

The Louisianna senator MIGHT be distantly related to the Cape Cod Kennedys in some distant way...from some time and place back in the old country centuries ago.

JFK's ancestor came from Ireland in mid 19th century fleeing the Potato famine ...came from the port of New Ross, on the southeast coast of Ireland. A town that was built by Ireland's Norman invaders in the 12th century. The F in RFK and JFK stands for "Fitzgerald" which is a common "Norman Irish" name in the southern parts of Ireland. So both sides of the JFK clan (Fitzgeralds and Kennedys) are probably connected to the Norman invaders in some way.

During the first world war there was a soccer star named Sean O'Kennedy from the town of New Ross.

Oddly "the Kennedy Clan" seems to have been more prominent in southwest Scotland than in Ireland.


Ive encountered American Blacks named "Kennedy" (though they sometimes spell it weird...like "Cennidy") who are probably descended from slaves owned by Irish or Scotch Irish American White planters named Kennedy.

An interesting primer for what RFK Jr. is all about.

Progressive pretending to be a Paleoconservative? Or vice versa?
Or just a flat out grifter?

Hard to say.

But he does seem to be a sincere believer in one way: he believes in conspiracy theories.

You dont have to watch the whole one and half thing. The first half hour I got through was enlightening enough about the croaky voiced scion of Camelot who...held an "Antivax Event", but required all attendees to "be vaccinated". :lol:

RFK Jr. pushes back on report he said Covid-19 was ethnically targeted to spare Jews

Quote:
Longshot Democratic presidential candidate and conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Saturday morning disputed a report that quoted him saying Covid-19 was “targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people” and that Jewish people are most immune.

In a report by the New York Post titled “RFK Jr. says COVID was ‘ethnically targeted’ to spare Jews,” video appears to show Kennedy speaking at a dinner in Manhattan.

In a discussion on bioweapons and “ethnically targeted microbes,” Kennedy claimed that “Covid-19 attacks certain races disproportionately.”

NBC News has not verified the video. In a statement posted to Twitter later in the day, Kennedy defended his remarks, saying they were not anti-Semitic.

“The @nypost story is mistaken. I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews,” Kennedy wrote on Twitter.

“I do not believe and never implied that the ethnic effect was deliberately engineered,” he continued.

Kennedy said that “during an off-the-record conversation” he had claimed "that the U.S. and other governments are developing ethnically targeted bioweapons," and then he mentioned "a 2021 study of the COVID-19 virus shows that COVID-19 appears to disproportionately affect certain races.

The "him" were talking about is RFK Jr, a Massachusettes Kennedy, and the son of RFK. So how is "he" a "Texocrat"?

If youre confused and thought we were talking about the totally unrelated Republican Senator John Kennedy...then even that Kennedy is from Louisiana, which is next door to, but is still not "Texas".

This article tells me all I need to know:  Robert Kennedy Jr. on Encyclopedia of American Loons 

The tl;dr summary:
Quote:
Kennedy is a traditional crank and deluded conspiracy theorist who is thoroughly anti-science (even on the topics on which he is right, he relies almost exclusively on non-scientific arguments); a typical crank and crackpot with little aptitude for actual evidence (as opposed to twisting any fact to look like evidence to lay people).  He is enormously influential, and must be considered one of the more dangerous people in the US today.

All I can figure about RFK Jr. is that he's either lost his muthertuckin' mind, or he thinks he can reach the White House by appealing to the lunatic fringe... or both.

I seriously doubt that, even if he did say it. Israel was very pushy about COVID vaxx and that travelers to Israel be vaxxed before visiting. I think Israel has administered over 18 million doses to date.

I can't imagine China loving Jews, or seeing the value of sparing Jews if they were in cahoots with someone else to engineer the virus. If there's one thing the world seems to be united on, it's their universal hate for the Jewish population ( a view I am NOT in agreement with ).

I will say that I have long thought that the virus was engineered to take out people who would eventually become a drain on their societies. People who are morbidly obese, people with long standing, uncontrolled high blood pressure and diabetes. And, the elderly. Thus minimizing the time and money expenditures on those populations. That would not surprise me, at all. Certain races are more predisposed to certain health issues, if this were the case it could seem as though it's a race target. When really it's simply a condition target...

Just my two cents, no proof of my hypothesis.

He's probably crazier than the Kennedy from Louisiana.

So far, RFK Jr. seems to be in the lead.

Or maybe it just hits people who are physically more vulnerable harder, like any other disease.
