The Brew: RFK, Jr., Says COVID Panic Was an Orchestrated Plan to Establish Totalitarianism

By John Zmirak Published on February 24, 2025

We should be profoundly grateful that Donald Trump teamed up with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and pushed through the Big Pharma- funded resistance to confirming him in the Senate. America’s corrupt elites have tried many different strategies to undermine democracy and enshrine autocratic government by “experts.” Elon Musk and his DOGE team have been tracking down all the ratholes through which unelected bureaucrats have been funneling taxpayer money into propaganda, censorship, and social engineering both at home and around the world.

Favorite pretexts for coercing Americans have been “fighting racism” and promoting “inclusion” of sexual minorities. But the trustiest billyclub in the hands of our would-be masters has been the claim that they’re promoting “public health.”

Who’s going to step up and say he’s against public health? (Well, I did right here at The Stream, but I’m an eccentric.) It’s like opposing baseball, apple pie, and sunshine. What’s more, throughout human history the fear of contagion, the panic induced by plagues, has proven a powerful force in politics — with unpopular people or groups (such as the Jews) getting scapegoated and persecuted. The terror we feel at the prospect of tiny, invisible viruses devastating us and our families can drive us to throw away our liberties and abandon our moral code, if we’re told that’s the price of survival. Even our own Supreme Court has carved out exceptions to the Bill of Rights during times of epidemic.

As I wrote in my recent book, No Second Amendment, No First, the gun control movement has cleverly hijacked the language of public health, pretending that the evil acts of criminals using mostly illegal guns are an “epidemic” of “gun violence.” During the George Floyd riots, the most draconian proponents of lockdowns who called church services “superspreader events” gave a pass to the hordes of rioting Antifa and BLM activists, claiming that racism is “a threat to public health.”

If you appreciate The Stream archives, please consider supporting the outreaches of LIFE.

But the most glaring example of politicized “public health” rhetoric was of course the global COVID lockdown and the forced vaccination of billions of people with an untested, experimental, abortion-tainted gene therapy. The long-term health effects of the mRNA vaccine and boosters were never studied, and are now coming to haunt us. The inventor of mRNA technology, Dr. Robert Malone, recently said that the vaccine is proving more deadly than the genetically engineered virus itself:

More side effects are emerging all the time. According to Gateway Pundit:

The New York Times reported on Wednesday that scientists from Yale University have linked the COVID-19 shot to rare and alarming syndrome referred to as “post-vaccination syndrome.” This condition was previously unknown to almost the entire country.

The syndrome can cause severe symptoms including brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus, and exercise intolerance. Moreover, sufferers have experienced distinct biological changes in their bodies, including differences in immune cells and coronavirus proteins, years after taking the shot.

In addition, scientists also discovered the vaccine can re-awaken a dormant virus in the body called Epstein-Barr. This virus can cause symptoms such as an enlarged spleen, swollen liver, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, and a rash.

But the worst impact of the COVID panic was the assault on our basic freedoms: to worship, to assemble, to work, to vote securely, and even to speak freely. It’s not for nothing that some of us spoke of “COVID fascism” and a “public health dictatorship.” Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., revealed in his book on Anthony Fauci that none of these liberty violations were an accident. In fact, they were the whole point — not saving lives. (Some of us figured that out when blue state governors dumped COVID patients in the one place they were certain to kill people: nursing homes.) Watch this short video of Kennedy exposing the agenda hidden behind all the noble talk about staying “safe,” even “loving our neighbors.”

It’s stunning and profoundly encouraging to hear our nation’s highest health official admit this. Let’s pray that he succeeds in dismantling the mechanisms by which our government first engineered the COVID virus, then weaponized it to persecute and imprison us.

We Have to Say it: Trump Is Wrong to Promote IVF

Newsweek is reporting on the objections pro-life activists who strongly supported Trump’s reelection are now raising about him actively promoting in vitro fertilization (IVF). One of the most effective pro-life campaigners in the world is Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life of America. She told Newsweek:

When people say they support IVF, we have to ask what does that mean? Support for the deregulated environment in which sloppy protocols lead to numerous mistakes? A willingness to violate the consciences of people with ethical concerns? No regard for the vast majority of human beings who are in the embryonic stage of life who will be discarded as trash, frozen, or experimented on and never be born?

A caring concern for people who want a family can’t be the reason we turn a blind eye to an industry with a lot of issues. The GOP needs to slow down and take a look at what business as usual means when turning children and women’s bodies as surrogates into commodities.

The callous use of aborted babies in COVID research helped give us the vaccine that is making millions sick. What kind of Brave New World will we be making when we turn the sacred act of conceiving a new human being into a technological playground? Maybe go ahead and read Aldous Huxley’s novel again. He didn’t mean for it to be an instruction manual.

In case you’re wondering why there’s some friction between the Trump administration and the Vatican, roll this around in your head:

Trump’s Retribution Tour Keeps Going Strong

They really shouldn’t have gone through Melania’s drawers. Or tried to put Donald Trump and his closest supporters in prison. Or let would-be assassins prowl around at his rallies. Because this Donald Trump is a very different man than he was in 2016. He’s focused, determined, and utterly immune to the gaslighting and emotional blackmail that the Left employs instead of arguments. Want a quick, cheerful summary of his first month in office? Look no further than the brilliant Stephen Miller, who performed this verbal victory dance atop the egos of sullen journalists:

What Happened to Marco Rubio? Can It Happen to More Republicans, Please?

Those of us who remember him from the 2016 campaign — advocating for the U.S. to shoot down Russian planes to help al Qaeda conquer Syria, for instance — were a little apprehensive when Trump announced that Marco Rubio was his pick to be the new Secretary of State. But they must be putting something in the water coolers at the State Department, because Rubio 2.0 is solid, sound, and sane. He’s indeed promoting America First policies and implementing the agenda that got Trump elected. Bravo, Mr. Secretary! Watch this exclusive interview he gave to (once-canceled) conservative reporter Catherine Herridge.
