I’ve at all times thought of myself principally a radical populist and a political impartial. Within the Sixties I used to be a part of the Yippies, as my mentor within the New Left, Abbie Hoffman, known as us, rejecting authoritarian socialism and communism in addition to company “profit-at-any price” capitalism and imperialism. We listened to John Lennon, relatively than Vladimir Lenin. I used to be born and raised in Texas, the place I used to be closely influenced by my beloved Louisiana-born Cajun grandparents, conventional household farmers and populists within the custom of Huey Lengthy.
Ever since my early days within the Sixties anti-war, Civil Rights, counter-culture, back-to-the-land natural and coop actions, and my a few years of doing solidarity and natural farming work in Central America and Mexico, I normally agreed with many on the left when it got here to points akin to struggle and peace, imperialism, disarmament, civil rights, ladies’s rights, homosexual rights, financial justice, labor organizing, environmental safety, and local weather points. However I additionally at all times felt a kinship with what I name “grassroots libertarians,” these distrustful of Institution politicians (whether or not Democrat or Republican), proponents of pure meals, pure well being, widespread sense, Constitutional rights–those believing that we’d like a radical decentralization of energy from nationwide and worldwide elites and company board rooms to native participatory democracy.
In 2000 and 2004 I supported Ralph Nader for President. Though Bush henchmen apparently stole these two elections with digital voting machine fraud, the Democrats didn’t have the center to problem them. In 2016 and 2020 I used to be a powerful and vocal supporter of Bernie Sanders (although Bernie was and is weak on points like pure well being and vaccine security), and totally disgusted by Clinton, Biden, and Trump alike. I recall that America’s strongest populist voice, Joe Rogan, additionally supported Bernie in 2020.
However now nearly all of liberals, leftists, and so-called progressives appear to have misplaced their minds. Progressive media that after printed my articles have censored and slandered me and my closest allies within the “COVID Fact” motion. A 12 months in the past I co-authored what has turn out to be a best-selling guide with Dr. Joseph Mercola (The Fact About COVID-19), with a strong introduction by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., however not a single left-wing media outlet would interview or debate me or Dr. Mercola. The truth is, so-called progressive champion Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts illegally threatened Amazon to cease promoting our guide, inflicting us to file a lawsuit towards her.
Current polls point out that Democratic-leaning voters (excess of Republicans) help Large Pharma and their FDA lackeys, mass media and Silicon Valley censorship, and suspension of Constitutional rights. Liberals out of the blue have turn out to be followers of the FBI, the CIA, “Acquire of Perform” genetic engineering, and the COVID lockdowns and mandates.
