Matt Taibbi’s speech in Washington;
I was once taught you should always open an important speech by making reference to a shared experience.
So what do all of us at “Rescue the Republic” have in common? Nothing!
In a pre-Trump universe chimpanzees would be typing their fourth copy of Hamlet before RFK Jr., Robert Malone, Zuby, Tulsi Gabbard, Russell, Bret Weinstein and I would organically get together for any reason, much less an event like this.
True, everyone speaking has been censored. The issues were all different, but everyone disagreed with “authoritative voices” about something.
Saying no is very American. From “Don’t Tread on Me!” to “Nuts” to “You Cannot Be Serious!” defiance is in our DNA.
Now disagreement is seen as threat, and according to John Kerry, must be “hammered out of existence.” The former Presidential candidate just complained at a World Economic Forum meeting that “it’s really hard to govern” and “our First Amendment stands as a major block” to the important work of hammering out unhealthy choices.
In the open he said this! I was telling Tim Pool about this backstage and he asked, “Was black ooze coming out of his mouth?”
Better late than never.
“ They believe in the manner of herd animals, who also live whole lives without knowing an anxiety-free minute: they believe things with blinding zeal until 51% change their minds, and then like deer the rest bolt in that direction. We saw that with the Biden is sharp as a tack/No, Biden must step aside for the Politics of Joy switch.”
That was amazing when they did that. I mean just the in-your-face “A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth” pure Goebbels-level like gaslighting was a sight to see. They truly are the enemy of the people.
What an amazing analogy … and what a positive PROOF of it!
That was excellent. Thanks for the post Kate.
1958 – was at same school – Fessenden School in MA – with John Kerry. My cousin was in his class. We both thought he was a pompous ass wipe.
Here it is 66 years later and he has proven us correct for the 1000th time.
If only those that need to hear and read it, would.
It may shake some out of their everlasting trance of nothingness.
NOTSEEs are everywhere.
What we have become is the natural progression of a Kleptocracy,or any other system of institutional corruption.
When your income depends on you not seeing the damage you inflict and enable,you will Not See.
“A republic if you can keep it”.
When zero politicians and minions are punished for lying.
And citizens are jailed and persecuted for speaking the truth.
Those who wish to avoid “Bloodbath” must unite.
For the 5% who are evil,will carry along the 15% easily lead..As the 80% hunker down and wait for cooler heads to prevail.
So the cycles go.
“Your Belgian!”
… taking back the personal insult is necessary in order to defang our angry junior-hi grrrl leadership. “Retard” is not used to describe a physical impairment, it’s laid down to personally insult a thin-skin. Same with fag, chink, nigga; not terms of observation but terms of intentional, derisive, insult. Dear Canadian, stop being so nice, it’s merely cover for your fear.
Sending this to my two Liberal best friends that will probably stop reading it or never even try.
I want to ask them if they agree more with John Kerry or the “You’re Belgian” guy? Do they wish Canada becomes more like the “frozen up” whispering Russia or the MT vision of what America should be.
It is a shame against our media and politicians that speeches like this will be condemned and increasingly censored.
Best speech since Col. Slade defended Charlie’s soul … his American soul … that was not for sale … that remained intact.

When Hollywood could still make a great film.
Oh!! And John Kerry … and your ilk … FKCU YOU TOO !!!
Defending the “loud” Americans … read: the “ugly” Americans. Man alive! No one has ever defended us better than the LAST person I thought would ever defend us … a congenital liberal.
It’s so refreshing to hear just how much that classic liberal and I have in common. The surveillance State has driven us into each others arms. Psst … Deep State … look out.
I’d rocket his list of assholes – especially Kerry & Cheney – to Uranus.
Outstanding speech. Here is the video version: https://substack.com/redirect/8ce6917e-946a-41ac-bc0e-2b3d65c9921f?j=eyJ1IjoiMXlzM3YifQ.IQcPFEOlVhhpQe-N5OyKwkOoDkq5IytkjzIYyJhU8zE
I could not help but Think of Trudeau as one of the small-minded control freaks pushing censorship.
