He’s saying this so people think his ideas are crazy and won’t believe it when the feds and intelligence organizations actually manipulate society with technology.
That’s his role in the administration. Its all a long con preparing for the social control coming next.
I think that you’re actually putting too much stock into these people. They are just nasty people being nasty as far as they can. Any planning is superficial.
They are the dangling keys. The planning is done by their handlers.
From some of them? Yes. From all of them? No. Steven Miller, Steve Bannon, maybe Dr Oz, almost certainly Linda McMahon, have plans
“And HIV doesn’t cause AIDS”
You know that HIV/AIDS denialism is an actual thing…right?
it’s an actual thing that rfk believes, thus the reference in the title
Nurse! 300cc high-octane coffee, stat! This one’s typing below cognitive capacity!
Wait until he finds out about the radiation from the Sun. Get him a mirror.
One of the key characteristics of fascism is machismo: a kind of hyper masculinity, and one of the characteristics of machismo is seemingly that a man is right simply by stating something confidently enough. It’s not about facts, evidence, or rigorous testing, it’s just about being the right kind of man and having the right kind of masculine energy. That’s why fascists are anti-intellectual, because intellectuals and academics understand that research, testing, and experimentation determine truth, not manly vibes.
The WiFi came from the future to turn HIV into AIDS.
This guy probably believes his blood is blue because he’s descended from royalty or some shit.
Don’t mention blood near him, we’ll have to listen to a lecture on RH negative blood and lizard people.
Nah, he’d think his blood was blue not because of the royalty thing but because blue is actually the natural color of blood and it’s just built up toxins that turn it red. That’s why the royals had blue blood, not because they were just inherently better, but because they took better care of themselves unlike the peasantry.
This is what people voted for.
Enough people to put it there.
Is this how kids become mitochondrially challenged?
Pretty sure that’s because you pasteurize your milk.
Us government: “Let’s hire that guy to be in charge of health care.”
If you look at how RFK jr is sitting, he’s leaning back and to the left.
Back…and to the left.
Someone call Roger McDowell!
Pretty close to down and to the left, but we’re hopeful that’ll change soon. 😅🧘🏽♂️
I’ll need a tutorial–what did I miss that makes this make sense?
Its about JFK assassination, there was a Seinfeld episode that joked about it heavily
Roughly accurate transcription it seems:
Text of above
[01:11:01] well, wi-fi radiation is, does all kinds of bad things, including causing cancer.
[01:11:10] wi-fi radiation causes cancer.
[01:11:11] yeah, from your cell phone. i mean, there’s cell phone tumor, tumors, you know, that, i mean,
[01:11:15] i’m representing hundreds of people who have cell phone tumors behind the ear. it’s always on the
[01:11:20] ear that you favor with your cell phone. and, you know, we have the science. so if anybody
[01:11:27] lets us in front of a jury, it will be over. you know, we-
[01:11:30] so what is the number? because a lot of people use cell phones.
[01:11:32] there’s a lot of people with it. they’re glioblastomas. that’s the kind of cancers that
[01:11:37] they get. but cancer’s not the worst thing. they also, you know, it opens up,
[01:11:42] wi-fi radiation opens up your blood-brain barrier. and so all these toxins that are in your body can
[01:11:49] now go into your brain.
[01:11:50] how does wi-fi radiation open up your blood-brain barrier?
[01:11:54] yeah, now you’re going beyond my expertise. but what-
[01:12:00] there are, there are, i’m going to use a number here and you’re going to think it’s hyperbole,
[01:12:05] but it’s not. there are tens of thousands of studies that show the horrendous danger of wi-fi
[01:12:12] radiation. and-
[01:12:15] so this is wi-fi that’s in this room?
Would love to see these tens of thousands of studies that show the danger
are those tens of thousands of studies in the room with us right now?
Are they speaking to you now?
Now you’ve gone beyond my university’s subscriptions.
Maybe he thinks wifi is another term for worms. Because worms definitely opened up his blood brain barrier.
Heroin certainly can cross the brain barrier.
How can the country whose engineering skill and expertise managed to rocket their manufacturing economy into the stratosphere post WWI and into WWII, devolve into idiots like RFK Jr?
His uncle wanted to put people on the moon for fucks sake. What a terrible shame on his family to have this guy be one of the last representatives of the Kennedy name.
What a terrible shame on his family to have this guy be one of the last representatives of the Kennedy name.
Eh, agreed on some level, though it’s actually also good proof of karma, which we all need. Shouldn’t have lobotomized Rosemary, you sick fucks.
That’s very true. I honestly didn’t mean to minimize the Kennedy scandals. I should have chosen my words better.
Nah, you still made a good point. This is absolutely a brilliant end both to the country and to the names of our best, and I’m here for it for whatever it’s worth.
good proof of karma
Let’s not pull an RFK on this. There is no such thing. Karma is something made up to make people feel good. It doesn’t exist.
Hi, I would like to introduce you to Rupert Murdoch, the ruler of Newscorp and now Fox.
Fox is now its own separate entity, but it’s still the Murdoch family on the board of it.
TL;DR: The reason the anglosphere, primarily the US, is so fucked, is actually an ozzie. Though he’s been an American citizen for some 4 decades now.
i wonder what classifies as too moderate compared to rupert murdoch
They managed that because of immigrants who knew how to do it. Now they are leaking brains all over the place. They are somehow turning the tv shows Brain Dead and Happy! and the movie Idiocrazy into a reality.
The real problems in america could be solved with a simple solution: Brawndo. Its what plants crave
You know, I can get behind the sentiment of MAHA. Fast foods literally killing people, and worse, making thier lives miserable. Healthy skepticism of big pharma is, err, healthy. Bring that on.
Research into cell phone health issues is fine. The physics suggest it shouldn’t be an issue, but still, data is good.
…But can we please take the quack medicine out?
Well, the only physics in EM that could be an issue is that the near-field isn’t the same as the far-field.
What is the issue?
That the E field is very strong in the near-field.
Yes, as your Wikipedia entry eloquently explains. Understood.
But what is the actual “issue” you’ve identified?
The usual refrain that only ionizing radiation can affect DNA is valid for the far-field, where photons are “fully formed” as it were, and therefore e=hf applies. In the near-field, you can transfer energy efficiently at far lower frequencies than you’d expect. But that works well in gases. Not entirely sure how much effect that can have on a bag of water, ie you and me. But it’s there. Does that count as an “issue” or an issue?
Does that count as an “issue” or an issue?
Do you think the science that’s been done to understand health effects from cell phones/towers have so far failed to account for the near and far fields?
You’d be surprised. People think microwaves work by making water molecules resonate. And I’ve heard that from engineers and physicists. So they must believe that the near-field of low frequency RF affects liquids.
Agreed that there’s no such thing as “wasted” research. But there is no medicine to take out of the quack medicine. They’re quacks because they refuse to accept results of research on emotional grounds and just keep squawking the same things their minds are made up about.
Focusing on problems that are fairly settled now because a 70+ year old heard they were mysterious and a problem at the age of six is so inefficient as to be regressive. Yes we should continue to research… everything but we should do so on the foundation of all the research available in <current year>, not on vaguely remembered tabloid scares from decades ago.
there’s no such thing as “wasted” research
Oh my sweet summer child.
Faraday never told the prime minister asking what use his electrical party tricks had with, “I don’t know but someday you will tax it.” But it’s fairly un-intuitive that some weirdos arguing about Newton’s gravity equations not working in very specific circumstances would lead to precision worldwide location / mapping / guidance technology (Special relativity / GPS). Or that the abstract work in what atoms are and how they work would lead to incredibly dense handheld digital storage devices (quantum mechanics / SSDs). Seeing what organs could be removed from a living dog lead to the development of insulin.
Limiting research to what will pay off in ~5-10 years is like only taking day-trips and wondering why you never discover new continents.
Oh come on. “Studying” 5G and anti-vax conspiracy theories is hardly in same league as the stuff Faraday was researching.
I mean at this point I’m not 100% sure I’m not talking with a bot that just responds to my first sentence.
5G / anti-vax / etc. aren’t research movements, they’re justifications. Conspiracy “science” is not science, it’s (fairly fringe) religion attempting to use alternate language to appear more respectable.
Stuff like the Netflix / Folding Ideas documentaries on Flat Earthers are still interesting for showing the application of ideas and how critical thinking is useful and how rejecting proof because it doesn’t fit your hypothesis, instead of adjusting your hypothesis, is farcical when viewed outside the lens of belief.
Sure but I’d argue an example of wasted research is someone investigating the harm of mercury caused by vaccinations. Again. After it’s long been settled. Overwhelmingly
So part of the problem is it’s easy to believe some research is ridiculous, especially if you don’t understand it or don’t have context. And especially when there are politicians or lobbyists who find it profitable to mischaracterize or cast doubt. I really think the only answer is to restore respect for science, trust in whatever committee vets the research proposals. While that can be the road to wasted research, it’s much better than the current method of manipulated public opinion
“replication crisis”
I agree that the utility of revisiting an already well-researched question is low, but I don’t think it’s entirely wasted. Replication and in particular failure to replicate existing results is when a team can learn good things, rarely a breakthrough, often just that their procedures need refinement.
Absolutely there are much higher priority work to which public funds should go.
An issue with focusing too much on a single topic, is, “if you look for it, you will find it”. With enough time and effort spent, you will find a signal. Not a true signal, just one that appeared from randomness, and if you would do an analysis of all the studies, the signal would disappear again, but they’re definitively not beyond pick and choosing their studies
Basically, this https://xkcd.com/882/
As always, XKCD is spot on…
Like, I wish that was pasted below every Kennedy interview aired.
The thing is, those same fucknuggets who clamor “data is good”, etc. in bad faith like this worm-host in the meme are the quack “medicine”…and their indirect harm to millions worldwide is going on wildly uncontested —much less punished. 🤌🏼🤷🏼♂️
Feels like empire is being run by boomer email forwards.
