Following Musk, countless others boarding the Trump Train

That seismic jump you felt last week was the shifting of political tectonic plates.
On Friday, former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.––scion of a family for generations synonymous with the Democrat party––endorsed President Donald Trump. And on Monday, former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii did the same. They’ve joined Elon Musk, the richest man in human history and like RFK, Jr. and Gabbard a former Democrat, in abandoning the Democrats’ leaking rust-bucket in favour of Trump’s massive and comfortable yacht (see related column, only here in The Herald). They may be officially independents, but the modern Republican tent is big and broad in more ways than one.
Rather like the Trump Train itself, I saw it all coming. But how did it get this way, with so many prominent people abandoning the Democrats’ sinking ship? Let’s review.
Re RFK, Jr., I’ve followed his path for some 30 years. I’ve long admired his work for environmentalist causes. He has real moxie and a passionate penchant for telling the truth, even to the point of an iconoclasm so personally dangerous for him that it puts him in the sights of some very powerful and very nasty entities, rather as his father and his uncle were.
RFK has latterly taken up the cause of public health, tilting his lance at the giants of Big Pharma, as well as Big Business and the Military-Industrial-Banking Complex. His hour-long speech on Friday, in which he endorsed Donaldus Maximus, was the best I’ve heard in years; even better than recent speeches by Trump himself.
Kennedy decried the impurity of American food, which is chockfull of preservatives and other additives. There is a law of (hopefully) unintended consequences here. These chemicals––added to our food in the wake of World War II by scientists seeking to make bread, for instance, last longer and to generally avoid spoilage of many others foods––have the effect of causing obesity. Three-quarters of Americans are now overweight, Kennedy noted, and this problem is costing the country on an annual basis more money than the greedy Military-Industrial-Banking Complex gouges out of us.
Kennedy knows a thing or two about the Military-Industrial-Banking Complex. It killed his father and his uncle. He has openly and publicly spoken of how Lyndon Johnson and the CIA murdered President John Kennedy in 1963 and how rogue agents of the CIA also killed Sen. Robert Kennedy in 1968. Many have observed that it would be karmic justice were RFK, Jr. placed in charge of the CIA, that he might then smash it into a thousand shards as his uncle vowed to do before the CIA and French drug cartel assassin Lucien Sarti (the real shooter, not Oswald) killed the president instead.
RFK, Jr. has also told the truth about the CIA’s actual mission. It does not exist to protect America, working in espionage abroad to keep the country safe. No, Kennedy said mere months ago, the CIA’s complete raison d’être is to find and foment wars around the world for the fun and profit of American arms-manufacturers and banks, who think nothing of sending impoverished 19-year-old kids to die in Vietnam. Afghanistan was the latest bungle-in-the-jungle misadventure for the Military-Industrial-Banking Complex, and like Vietnam, America lost that war, too.
Mind you, America’s soldiers behaved honourably. What a pity their government did not.

WE WIN, KIDS
This year’s election is nothing less than a battle of good versus evil..
It’s a contest between a good man who believes in this country and is trying desperately to help ordinary working-class people––a man unjustly and unprecedently maligned by the demonic dogs of evil media––and an absolute airhead. Rumours abound that Harris is a drunk. Others seriously theorise that she is mentally ill, as a face frozen in a permanent rictus of phoney mirth and constant, inappropriate laughter are hallmark signs of paranoid schizophrenia.
The excellent Washington Post columnist and the pride of Camden, S.C., Kathleen Parker, wrote in March of Harris’s irritating idiot-syncrasies. She decried Harris––the living embodiment of identity politics––as the weaker half of the Biden-Harris duo, advocating that the latter laughingstock should quit the ticket for the good of the party.
“Whatever the reasons,” Parker wrote, “it has seemed that Harris’s role was to be quiet, lest she embarrass her boss with her sometimes inane, rambling remarks and a laugh that erupts from nowhere about nothing obvious to others.
“The Kamala conundrum,” Parker added, “comes down to this: she was picked because she was black and female, a combo tantamount to job security.”
Fox News commentator and comedian Greg Gutfeld, the best thing on late-night TV, agreed Wednesday. Speaking of Harris on his eponymous show, Gutfeld said she is:
“A woman so Left, she has left reality,” adding, “If she got any nuttier, you could feed her to an elephant!”
As for RFK, his support will put Trump over the top. We’re in like Flynn, kids. We were already gonna beat that simpleton sow. Now we’re gonna beat ’er by even bigger numbers.
RFK’s Friday speech was breathtakingly eloquent. As many observed, he kicked arse and took names. I only pray that the evil entities he cited don’t end up doing to him what the CIA did to his father and his uncle.
Talking of which, many are already saying RFK, Jr. should be made head of the CIA in order to finally release the full truth about what the Company did, circa 1963-68. That would be karmic justice indeed. Others say he should head the FDA. Either way, we can’t miss.
And we can’t lose. Unless the satanic Sino-Soros-Demonrat nexus cheats again and steals yet another election in a coup, November should be a repeat of Reagan-Mondale in 1984.
God bless RFK for his courage. And Tulsi, too. Considering her U.S. Army background, I strongly suspected years ago that she would one day side with us.

Noted photojournalist Bill Ward of Stanley got to meet Gabbard at the “Salt and Light” conference a year ago. He also met former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and Alveda King (niece of Dr. Martin Luther King).
“And many other great conservative voices,” Ward said, adding of photographing Gabbard, “I don’t usually get pictures with those I’m shooting. But I was blessed to have that opportunity that time.”
Patrick Fields, a Stanley-based historian (his speciality is the War Between the States) and an instructor of the French and Portuguese languages who has taught in France, Switzerland, Brasil and South Carolina, commented Tuesday on RFK and Gabbard coming over to play for the right team. A longtime Republican and a dedicated Trumpist, Fields has firsthand knowledge of political transitions, coming as he does from a long line of Palmetto State Democrats.
“The defection of a former Democrat member of the House of Representatives, along with a high-profile primary challenger––going all the way to endorse the opponent of the Democrat nominee––is completely unprecedented,” he said. “Then again, it was unprecedented to cancel the primary and proclaim a ‘winner,’ and then switch that guy out at the last possible moment. Time-honored processes were not respected in any of this, so I guess it’s not surprising that we have some unprecedented moves from disaffected Democrats.”
