Infodemic: RFK & the Real Anthony Fauci

Why is information the virus that most worries them?

Last August I launched a YouTube channel called Third Paradigm, using the same name as my old radio show on a Santa Cruz pirate station a decade past. The videos respond to Russell Brand’s Under the Skin interview podcasts. A recent episode, The Epiphany Jumpstart, looked at four previous interviews with Dr. Gabor Mate, a brilliant thinker on addiction as a functional adaptation to a dysfunctional society. One of these interviews, called Pandemics & Infodemics, was from March of 2020.

Oh March! The month that came in like a lion and left like a … but wait, it never left, did it? We’re still in the Long March, the March of Madness, the spiraling March of Looming Gloom and Doom. How innocent Russell and Gabor sounded, Russell stuck in Australia on tour with his family and Gabor stuck in his basement. There was novelty, like a snow day, and a sense of all pulling together and helping one another. There was fear of the virus but no fear that they couldn’t say what they thought.

And yet the seeds were already sprouting and poking through the soil. Russell’s title was from the World Health Organization and the esteemed British medical journal, The Lancet, who were saying, “This isn’t just a pandemic, it’s an infodemic!” What did they mean by that? How could we be in an infodemic when barely any info existed? Why was information dangerous? Weren’t we all trying to figure this new virus out?

In this episode I reflect on the education we’ve gotten from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on all the things they never wanted us to know. Things that have been buried for 40 years, that may never have come to light except for these two years of living in a truth vacuum.

In 2030, we may look back and wonder how we ever did live through it. But we may also say, thank goodness we did. Without that deprivation of community and communication, we would never be as connected, self-reliant, happy and thriving as we are now. If the pandemic is the bowstring that propels us into an honest future, Robert Kennedy will be the tip of the arrow.

No other book has put together the big picture of how government agencies have been corrupted to facilitate individual profit instead of the public health. As stated by Mark McDonald in The United States of Fear, we’re not in a data war but a psychological war. In this book, Kennedy has won the data war, making the only question how so many have been fooled.

I look at guilt an even more powerful manipulator than fear, and how it’s been used to make the left so obedient. I examine the contradiction of my local independent bookstore refusing to carry The Real Anthony Fauci. And I ask a liberal friend how the Kennedy name, sacrosanct to my generation, became besmirched—a memo I didn’t seem to get.

In a previous video, Cui Bono Covid? I ask how the left was co-opted and wonder if we’ve been played by both sides with Trump as a propaganda double-agent. A commenter named Chuck Les wrote “Trump was a beautiful puppet. Trump thought that politics were corrupt and therefore the left could no longer criticize politics. Trump thought Assange was a hero and therefore he was abandoned by the left along with any form of media neutrality. Trump wouldn’t sign the Transpacific Partnership and suddenly the left was for it.” I give other examples and look at whether this was the intention all along.

As there is no word for “psy-ops” perpetrated on a government’s own people, there’s also no word for what Kennedy has done in this book. I suggest “meta-journalism” for his way of putting together history, medical research, foreign policy and current events. In the area of economics, it’s what I’ve attempted in my book, How to Dismantle an Empire. I wonder if he faced the same dilemma in not being able to talk about the solution without first going into depth explaining the long history and multifaceted layers of the problem.

A particularly chilling graphic in Kennedy’s book is a sketch that Fauci emailed to colleagues called “March Madness.” Different viruses like Swine Flu, Avian Flu and Ebola are played off against each other as potential pandemics with Covid emerging as the winner. Indeed.

I end with a quote from A Course in Miracles that “There is nothing more unstable than a tightly organized delusional system.” I remind viewers that the anger and hostility isn’t because other people are confident, it’s because their delusions are hanging by a thread. If you try to snip it, you’ll only hit resistance. Let it snap on its own. Be kind, make them feel safe, because they’ll need a friend when reality hits.

Kennedy exposes the propaganda and censorship that hid the corruption in the Department of Health. That propaganda and censorship is now being exposed in the State Department by the situation in Ukraine. Fortunately the learning also applies of how to see through it. For information on the deep history of US corruption that’s been exposed by Ukraine, see my episodes on Escape from Azkaban: Victoria Nuland, Yanis Varoufakis is Naive on Ukraine, and Ukraine Peace & US Petropocalypse.
