Spectacle and Silence: Grilling Kennedy, Guarding Fauci

I want a world where lawmakers grill lifelong technocrats serving corporate interests, while elevating critical and independent thinkers who question dogma and entrenched power on the facts that the technocrats and their corporate overlords (and the media who shill for them) conceal from the public.

Compare and contrast the way lawmakers treated Anthony Fauci and Robert Kennedy, Jr. Were you doubtful that the Senate Finance Committee is owned by Big Pharma? How about now? That spectacle on Thursday was obscene.

Never forget that Joe Biden, during the final hours of his presidency, granted Fauci a full and unconditional presidential pardon for any potential federal offenses Fauci may have committed between January 1, 2014, and the date of the pardon. Here’s the Executive Grant of Clemency.

The pardon was specifically related to Fauci’s roles as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, and Chief Medical Advisor to the President.

“Let me be perfectly clear,” Fauci told the media: “I have committed no crime and there are no possible grounds for any allegation or threat of criminal investigation or prosecution of me.”

Denial is expected. But it seems Biden—or at least those operating the autopen—thought differently. What inside knowledge did Biden or those around him have that Fauci committed federal offenses? Why is the Senate not investigating that question?

Sure, Fauci can’t be prosecuted now (unless Biden’s pardons are found to not have issued from his hand). But that also means he can’t invoke his Fifth Amendment privilege to remain silent in the face of incriminating evidence. He was a witness to federal crimes. Haul the man before the Senate and make him answer questions under threat of perjury and contempt of Congress.

As for Biden, he can’t be hauled before any tribunal because he was determined to be mentally incompetent to stand trial. Then again, he was also mentally incompetent to stand as President, yet the powers-that-be had no problem with that.

One last thing, while I got you here: Isn’t it funny how Biden could not give a press conference for an entire year, and all we heard was crickets in Media-land, yet Trump is out of the public eye for a day, and he either had a stroke or died?

We couldn’t question whether Biden was dead from the neck up, but Trump has a bruise on his hand, and his Cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution and sack a sitting President.

If you can see how upside-down everything is may God have mercy on your soul.
