Putting your own material published by your own paid staff is like your mom giving you a trophy for playing soccer real good.

RFK Jr.'s book is mind-blowing! I'm reading it right now. Instead of requiring vaccine passports for purchasing food and participating in society, I would like to make everyone read this book, and pass a quiz to prove they read it, before they can purchase even one more bag of groceries. It certainly should be required reading for every future candidate in every future election. No less than the survival of our species may hinge on our ability to quickly learn and respond to the lessons of this book.

I am reading it right now too and my mind is BLOWN

I hope every prosecutor in every jurisdiction in the world is reading it. Should be enough evidence for hundreds of indictments.

Want to know why? Because liberals aren't liberal thinkers. They have no curiosity. They only stuff their brains with their own propaganda to confirm their own bias. Take it from me; I WAS one.

Same! I suppose I can thank Covid for finally waking up! Silver linings and all that...

Welcome! You should share your conversion story to "walk away". It might give courage to those who want to, but are afraid to.

@Justin...it was in large part due to my very conservative husband. (I married across ideological lines, so maybe I was never THAT far gone!) But I always thought my husband was a kook (albeit a loveable one) and that I was the one who was eternally on the higher path. I think the first Obama presidency changed me. I was thrilled to vote for him (for all of the wrong reasons back then). But once he was in office, I observed a man who hated America to its core...and everything started to unravel for me.

So therein lies the beauty of marriage. I got my husband out of pleated pants, and he got me out of liberalism. 😂

Good for you waking up during Obama's FIRST term. Some people, like Brandon Straka didn't wake up until after Hillary lost. And look what he's been able to accomplish since then! As Justin says, you should share your Walk Away story. They are always looking for more. (My husband still wears pleated pants. 😂😂)

The pleated pants ideology runs deep. It took me years. Wishing you strength. 🤪

Actually, I don't care if he wears pleated or flat front pants. I just want him to lose the belly which has started hanging over either version! 🙄

Your story sounds a bit like mine except I always voted according to policies of what little I knew about. Hated politics but thought I was a Democrat. My husband kept telling me, no, you’re views are mostly conservative. He said the problem is todays Dems are not the Dems of JFK and MLK’s time, but people are convinced that born a Dem always a Dem. I still disagree with him even though I never voted for any particular party. It was just a coincidence I only voted Democrat once. The Obama years opened my eyes up wide, though.

I meant I still had disagreed until Obama got into office. I now know I am mostly conservative.

Agree, I’d love to hear them as well.

I wish I could remember where I heard this (just a few days ago) where someone finally mustered up the courage to come out against liberals, and they said their life was a living hell for two weeks, and then they learned they could sleep MUCH better after being true to themselves and not having to put up a facade, which caused all kinds of stress.

Something I learned a few decades ago in a class - Internal conflict arises when your actions violate your core beliefs or principles - forced or voluntary. I wept when I heard that (I was under so much stress at the time.) It's another version of "You have to face the person in the mirror each morning and determine whether you respect him/her or not."

I felt like I had to cover for someone else who stepped on others to get ahead, and I wanted so much to tell people what this guy was up to, but he was my boss. I finally stood up to him and thought I'd lose my job and when he asked me why I wouldn't divulge what I was working on, I told him point blank that he took credit for other people's work, and that when I was ready, I'd release what it was I was doing. I was a star performer and had saved the company millions in labor costs and market time.)

So yeah... be true to yourself, which means accept who you really are, and have the courage to speak up when being pushed to do/say something you truly don't believe in and can't find peace in supporting it.

First recognized in France 150 years ago, this expression has been updated in many times and places:

There is no world in which "The 1619 Project" is actually top of a best seller list. Not one that hasn't been manipulated.

Leftists working at libraries and bookstores buy up this garbage because they wish people would read it. Sales look good, but readership does not exist.

Bingo! Lol

They really don't though. Who buys it? Academics, who are entrenched in CRT.

Try borrowing books on library apps. Dozens of available copies of Michelle Obama’s book, and a 6 month wait for anything decent.

NGOs are another big part of the fake market.

Expand full comment

This library usage statistic is likely the most reliable number about readers. I do get tired of the wait times. The issue isn't money it's because the publisher limits copies. I do know some of limited means who have informed me of alternate distribution channels. At least Pandemic was priced well.

The DNC probably bought thousands of copies.

People who read the NY Times will believe anything.

I worked for a big publishing house in the 1990s. Even back then a spot on the NYT "bestseller" list could be "arranged" for a price.

Expand full comment

I heard it was mostly from pre-sales, so RFK Jr's book wasn't likely to generate as many of those as some other books. However, now that it's out, it'a a must-read for all.

Expand full comment

Well the Times only deals in fiction non-fiction. It’s kinda their thing.

Expand full comment

Here's how he Times describes the Kennedy book, clearly hoping to discourage sales:

"THE REAL ANTHONY FAUCI

by Robert F. Kennedy Jr Skyhorse

The anti-vaccine advocate gives his take on the chief medical advisor to the president." A more accurate and unbiased description would read something like this: "The long-time environmental activist offers a startling exposé of Dr. Fauci's government career."

Expand full comment

The Times ( and everybody else using the word as a label ) needs to define the meaning of the word. What do they mean by an “ Antivaxer “ ? It is a noun.

There are extremely, few in this country who have received NO vaccines. Is it they to whom they are referring ? That would be one definition of “ antivaxer “.

Or are they referring to people who each time critically think based on their knowledge and life experiences whether to inject something or another into themselves and make a decision based on risk, at that given time? Called Risk/ Benefit ratio.

Somebody needs to define this word otherwise the people that keep moving the goal posts and changing definitions ( very clever but obvious ) are going to keep doing it.

BTW We should all be aware that they have in the past and likely will to continue to put vaccines in pills. Bill Hates and complying CDC and FDA are doing lots of research, with our money!, regarding putting vaccines in food and tobacco. Probably one of the reasons the madman has bought and now owns the majority of farmland in the United States.

This man needs to be stopped. Hopefully, like Soros, he is not training his kids to be mini me s.

Had 2 smallpox vaccines (yes, I'm old), both polio as a child, the pneumonia, and the "old" shingles. Regrettable, I awakened too late and had the two Pfizer. Am I an antivaxer?

Expand full comment

My 34 year old son had not ever had a vaccine because his sister developed meningitis from MMR her son had a seizure stopped breathing from DTAP ( that ended his vax)so her youngest age 12 not vaccinated, both extremely healthy but 34 year old drank the Kool aid even tho he didn't have to at his job. I hope because he was unvaxed and healthy he will survive side effects but he got Covid.

Good point, however it is still Misnomer.

It should say vax selective. Besides, this ISN’t even a vaccine and people should stop calling it that, it is an experimental gene editing injection.

So much confusion when people are careless with names. That is exactly what the Left and the Evil Overlords do. We should not fall prey to it.

Propaganda will never promote truth, it just doesn't work that way; why we can't see NYT as the National Enquirer is kudos to them. They have accomplished quite a feat. However, I do love what Mark Crispin Miller said, and this is a very loose quote "People can usually recognize propaganda when it goes against a strongly held belief, but when the propaganda feeds that same strong belief, they can't recognize it at all." So, as long as you are selling lies to a group that already believes that way, they'll keep gulping it down, and defending those lies, even violently, it seems.

You mean anyone in flyover America even knows or cares what the NYT does? We all know where the real Americans are & recognize lying with statistics when we see it. BTW, put the post on facebook & twitter...wonder how long it'll be there before censored.

The Times' bestseller list is ... how should I say it ... aspirational. These are the books that the funding sources of the Times *wishes* were at the top. Presto: there they are.

Recently went through an airport carrying a copy of RFK's new book. A lady stopped me - "That book is REALLY interesting!" I laughed and nodded! They pushed things way too far. A lot of bodies - which had been "safely buried" for decades - are now coming back to the surface.

After all is said and done, how many people will blindly give the entire recommended CDC vaccine schedule to their newborn children?

After all, "If they could lie this egregiously about the COVID vaccine, what else might they be lying about?"

Exactly David. I wonder if Alex is even rethinking his stance for his own kids.

Oh come on Suzanne! The 26 childhood vaccinations are all safe & effective. Especially when done rapidly! Repeat after me: Safe & Effective!

My takeaway from this paper: "pick & choose. Vaccinate carefully. And stop if *any* issues show up." I mean, nobody wants tetanus for their baby. That's a really bad disease. 11% CFR. Half the cases are in small children. But the rest?

Believe NYT best seller list is based on copies shipped to bookstores (remember bookstores?) NOT consumer purchases.
