#1  Not sure of the exact number, but after so many relapses, you are considered just lapsed. Period.

#3  Only .2 grams. Hunter has lost more than that in the crack of a whore's ass.

#4  I know what would help America. Have 51 ex-DEA agents sign a letter stating the Cocaine found is not Hunter Biden’s.

#5  If you found out whose cocaine it really was you'd probably wish it was Hunter's.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
RFK Jr. says COVID was ‘ethnically targeted' to spare Jews
The man is a stopped clock. Some things he is right about, but for the rest he’s lost deep in the weeds.
[NYPost] 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.

Kennedy floated the idea during a question-and-answer portion of raucous booze and fart-filled dinner at Tony’s Di Napoli on East 63d Street.

“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.

In between bites of linguini and clam sauce, Kennedy, 69, warned of more dire biological weapons in the pipeline with a “50% infection fatality rate” that would make COVID-19 “look like a walk in the park.”

“We do know that the Chinese are spending hundreds of millions of dollars developing ethnic bioweapons and we are developing ethnic bioweapons,” he claimed. “They’re collecting Russian DNA. They’re collecting Chinese DNA so we can target people by race.”

There has been a growing consensus among US intelligence agencies that COVID-19 was man-made and escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China — but there is no evidence it was designed to spare certain religious groups or ethnicities, and Kennedy offered no studies to support his claims.

Kennedy’s remark echoes well-worn anti-Semitic literature blaming Jews for the emergence and spread of coronavirus which began circulating online shortly after the pandemic broke out, according to The Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry at the University of Tel Aviv’s 2021 Antisemitism Worldwide Report.

A 2020 Oxford University study found nearly 1 in 5 British people believed Jews created the coronavirus pandemic for financial gain.
Nearly one in five Brits is functionally illiterate. The two sets intersect, which has nothing to do with what is or is not true.
“This is crazy,” said Morton Klein, President of the right-leaning Zionist Organization of America. “It makes no sense that they would do that. I read everything. I was totally against the vaccine. . . I wanted to convince myself it was correct not to take it. I have never seen anything like this.”

Klein, who said he had been advising Kennedy on Israel issues and called him a “good friend,” said the remark left him “worried.”

The son of former Attorney General Robert Kennedy and nephew of former President Kennedy has in the past palled around with Nation of Islam leader and notorious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan.

Kennedy’s campaign has drawn in disaffected elements of both the right and left seeking an alternative to mainstream candidates.

Some polls have shown him garnering 20% support among primary voters.

“The U.S. and other governments are developing ethnically targeted bioweapons and that a 2021 study of the COVID-19 virus shows that COVID-19 appears to disproportionately affect certain races,” Kennedy tweeted — reiterating his remarks from the dinner. “The furin cleave docking site is most compatible with blacks and Caucasians and least compatible with ethnic Chinese, Finns, and Ashkenazi Jews. In that sense, it serves as a kind of proof of concept for ethnically targeted bioweapons.”
If true, it can also be interpreted as meaning that Dr. Anthony Fauci and his pet CCP biolab equally aimed to protect ethnic Finns from harm — which is absolutely nuts. Not to mention noting that Finns are as caucasian as the rest of Europe. And then we must remember that very few African-Americans are more than partially negroid, genetically, almost all having a significant admixture of caucasoid and Native American DNA.
“I do not believe and never implied that the ethnic effect was deliberately engineered,” he added.
But it sure was easy to twist a careless statement.



The study he referenced: New insights into genetic susceptibility of COVID-19: an ACE2 and TMPRSS2 polymorphism analysis

#1  unable to find the data but the study was done very early in the pandemic

I've looked at dozens of these kinds of studies and I've been disappointed with them for various reasons, e.g. messed up sampling, improper control group.

I doubt RFK Jr. knows much about this.

#8  So, the same people who have no problem with antisemitism when a progressive Approved Victim™ spouts it have got their knickers twisted up over this.

Inneresting, ain't it?

#9  Israel, IIRC, was a Petri dish for Pfizer and the Fauci Flu clot shot, so I'm a bit confused by this assertion.
Posted by: DooDahMan || 07/16/2023 9:29 Comments || Top||

#10  I have no clue about the specific assertions made in this, but what I am crystal clear about is that a wide range of gnomish Chinese scientists in the PLA labs are diligently working to create a bioweapon that is disproportionately impactful on the Western populations. Clandestine Biowar as a form of new Bubonic Plague.

I'm curious though, how many people know much about Daszak's family background?

#18  Mac at #13, a cursory websearch yields many recent articles from what we used to call reputable sources ranking "Muhammad" first. Uninformed speculation follows.

#19  MacNails! It’s good to see you — it’s been a while!

Snowy Thing, what should we know about Peter Daszak's family background?

Posted by: trailing wife || 07/16/2023 22:25 Comments || Top||

#20  Snomort Clunk7181, you make a palpable point... poetically. :-)
Posted by: trailing wife || 07/16/2023 22:26 Comments || Top||

#21  It's late, so I'll prob. send email tomorrow.

Daszak's father Bodhan was reportedly a war criminal who got captured by the British but released in the general population after the war because if he were sent back to the Soviet Union after the war he would have been hung.

According to the rumors I've read he was an executioner at Janowska.

#22  But we can go back to discussing whether or not Kennedy knows enough about genetics to discuss ethnic bioweapons and ignoring the guy who actually lobbied to have the virus made and helped subcontract it.

Biden's 'bizarre' interaction with young girl goes viral on social media
[GEO.TV] President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity....
has come under criticism after his "bizarre" interaction with a maiden of tender years at Helsinki Airport went viral on social media.

The interaction took place at the airport where President Biden met embassy staff and their families before boarding Air-Force One, reported Fox News.

In the viral clip, President Biden can be seen interacting with a mother while trying to make her young daughter laugh by pretending to bite her and placing his mouth on her shoulder.

President also apparently tried to sniff the girl’s hair, whilst some claim he tried to kiss the girl’s cheek.

Social media users criticised the president over his interaction which apparently frightened the maiden of tender years.

Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
Jr tweeted: "Biden should be in a nursing home, not leading the free world."

Republican operative Greg Price said that Biden is "now confusing babies with ice cream cones".

#4  "Embassy staff" usually means "locals spying with the DoS's connivance." Were that mannish looking mom and male feminist dad Finns? And shame on them for wanting their kid anywhere near Gropey Joe.

Political jock sniffers are a most disgusting type.

#7  Dealing with a family issue has given some insight to the progressive loss of "boundaries" as a symptom of dementia onset. Of particular note for me was the realization that behaviors that become visible are rarely spontaneous, one-time events, but rather the reveal of a long-standing pattern that previously kept within the "boundary". That made this even more creepy!
Posted by: NoMoreBS || 07/16/2023 11:20 Comments || Top||

#8  Yes. Boundaries. They are the outward expressions of some subtle, just one step above innate, portions of our human programming. When those are visibly slipping, the deterioration is well under way.

#10  I don’t think Biden had real strong boundaries to begin with. More like pylons.

Time to claim I was Roger Stauback’s backup.
