A list, à la Ray:

Richard Perle - Chair Def Policy Board, GWB and Ass. Sec for Global Strategic Affairs, Reagan;

Paul Wolfowitz - Dep Sec Def, GWB and Under Sec Def for Policy, GHWB;

Dick Cheney - VP to GWB and Sec Def to GHWB;

Donald Rumsfeld - (01-06) Sec Def, GWB and (75-77) Sec Def, Gerald Ford

All these Neocons used to be Conservatives - back in the 90’s - 2000’s. Today, the Neos, as RFK deplores, are mostly, but not exclusively, found in the Democratic Party, formerly the party of his uncle, John, and father, Robert, a party that worked for peace (Bay of Pigs and Vietnam). “Where have all the flowers gone?” is no longer a part of the Dem lexicon. What a horrific realization for RFK Jr., to state openly how his former party has been turned inside out, or bought out (more precisely, as we know from MIH). Add to that the cruel public rejection by his own kin! Mon Dieu. He reminds me of De Gaulle who stood steadfast while the French Hoi Polloi went all in for Vichy.

Tom Luongo posited long ago that Davos and the Anglo-Zionist Neocons are far from aligned.

I see Team Patriot lining up against Davos.

Trump declared at the convention that his administration will fight the energy agenda of the globalists and get every joule of energy out of the ground (and CO2 into the air) that they can.

Kennedy's healthy food declaration yesterday stands against the WEF "you will eat the bugs and we will take away your meat, dairy, and fresh vegetables" agenda.

Wall Street stands against the WEF economic serfdom and CBDC agenda

The Musk/Thiel tech wing is lining up with them, to keep information flowing freely.

He regularly refers to the City of London, which to most people sounds like coded language signifying the Jewish dominated banking and financial interests. Within that world there is room for both Neocons and Globalists. The fact that the European establishment has, with the US--and in the face of popular opposition--staunchly supported genocide in Palestine seems indicative.

Excellent speculation, IMO. This kind of analytical ability (which far exceeds my own) is why I look forward to reading your blog every day, Mark. Thanks

Great stuff. The absolute pathetic subservience of Americans to Israel/Zionism, egged on by the heretical Christian Zionists, is damn near unprecedented in history. The Americans handed their nation, lock stock and barrel, to Israel. And they celebrate the fact, or at least boomer GOP types. It’s absolutely vile and disgusting.

Brilliant exposé on our FP since the Reagan days, when the US stood for something the world wished for, when we talked with our adversaries…to the great rage and chagrin of the Neocon cabal. Clinton was weak in that sense. Obama had his issues with Israel but fell into line. We capitulate to this endless war-mongering to our own peril (Trump nearly paid the ultimate price). I don’t see how goading Iran into an ME war helps the Dims on election day - unless they want to change the subject from the Kursk débacle…I hope Trump gets this and speaks out - he has no fear.

RFK last night, lambasting the Neocons’ and their wars:

“We have pushed Russia closer to China and Iran. We are closer to the brink of nuclear exchange than at any time since 1962. And the Neocons in the White House don't seem to care at all."

"Our moral authority and our economy are in shambles. And the war gave rise to the emergence of BRICS, which now threatens to replace the dollar as the global reserve currency."

"This is a first class calamity for our country."

"Judging by her bellicose, belligerent speech last night in Chicago, we can assume that President Harris will be an enthusiastic for this and other Neocon military adventures."

"President Trump says he will reopen negotiations with President Putin and end the war overnight as soon as he becomes president."

"This alone would justify my support for his campaign."

He goes on to endorse Trump, putting his country before party, unlike Harris, who wouldn’t even take his phone call.

"for this and other Neocon military adventures"

Was it my imagination, or did RFK go heavy on the problem of our Ukraine misadventure, and left Israel unmentioned? Which I do not take to be a tacit endorsement of our misadventures on Israel's behalf.

*sigh* I put it on 1.5x playback speed and I still can't make it through a Trump stump speech, sorry, not even to introduce RFKJr. I try to look beyond that pacing, and listen to his interviews instead; they are always much better.

A great speech by RFK Jr. and such a great moment when he appeared and spoke at the rally. No one can question his heart, as President Trump has noted. Who could be against healing our children? And who could be against peace? Who, indeed? I am very happy they have joined forces and that RFK, Jr. will be playing a very active part in a Trump administration.

Yes, I was elated to learn about RFK joining forces with DJT! They complement each other, the former being thoughtful and articulate, (esp on US foreign policy and the vax hoax as it affects children’s health), the latter more big-picture and emotional. I remember some time ago thinking Trump should pick RFK as Veep! Well…we shall see!

Yeah, judging from KS's speech she must have received her talking points. It seems they didn't want to risk her blurting them out before the convention, lest they need to make a last minute switch.

Or lest she run out of things to say…er…garble! Maybe a little AI would help?

Trump promises RFK Jr. that he will establish a commission that will release all remaining classified documents on the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Cascading coups? First, the assassinaction attempt on Trump. Then, the removal of Boden and installation of Harris on the ticket. And then, someone has taken over the Office of the President?

Post-Covid, nothing (!) to see here! Remote working comes to the Oval Office. Just phone it in and let whoever handle it. As MW would say, what a country.

Yep. Unz has done some stuff on this too. It’s absolutely incredible. And then there’s the sacklers with the white death and the explosion of porn. It’s like the peasants in Poland: keep them drunk, fapping and deep in debt.

There were several iterations of team B over the years. There was also a third track/team C, with Bobby Ray Inman.

Why pushing for actions by US/Brits in Ukraine/Israel? There is an election coming and they either want these wars to be off the plate for Kamala or squeeze Trump.

Notice that there was zero talk about the wars at the DNC. Trump keeps talking about them, and now RFK is in the mix.

Third phase of the election: does Trump now pivot back to being the peace candidate, which fits with RFK’s talk about children and humans physical and mental health, plus Tulsi prepping for debate? Note that Kamala has committed to one debate now.

Even the networks this week had commentators, who are for Kamala, saying the DNC said nothing of substance. Will television make this work and win the election?

The election (a television produced show) is now about the fight over paradigms: holding onto the now obsolete TELEVISION fantasy of Globalism with the US/Brits in front, vs. the emerging DIGITAL paradigm where people ask: what about the humans? And people care about the particulars of life.

Will TELEVISION win one last election? All the $ raised evaporates into ads. Television is struggling to exist as a business model: advertisers want out of the traditional model and want subscriptions and online ads that people can’t escape from.

Lastly, there is a coming massive generation gap, and it is going to be unlike the one from the 60s. What will this portend?

Squeezing Trump, fear of Trump, certainly.
