Well constructed post, Joe! - the inclusion of Dr. Madhava Setty's letter is wonderfully rational.

One question that that I hear no one asking is - what role does money have in RFK Jr's position? Is his outlook disproportionately influenced by some degree of dependence on support from big $ supporters with foundational ties to Central Banks, Israel, etc. Any position that ignores the heartless, soulless, inhumane, and wholesale slaughter of innocent humans is unconscionable - and inexcusable to support in any way!! As Chris Hedges recently reported from the region on his substack:

"There are no words to express what we are witnessing. In the five weeks of horror this is one of the pinnacles of horror. The indifference of Europe is bad enough. The active complicity by the United States is unfathomable. Nothing justifies this. Nothing."

But, regarding the RFK jr Presidential Campaign, let's dolly back to the bigger picture. The truth is demonstrated again and again that the POTUS does not have near the power we have all been convinced he has. All the good things RFK jr intends to do are impossible to accomplish from the White House, and as such are a false hope for we multitudes who ache for just policies. History screams this out loud consistently. The always astute Bill Hicks & George Carlin sum it up in 3 minutes:

Any success he might have towards true justice and freedom would likely prove as fatal as it did for his uncles. Research JFK's Executive Order 11110 - June 1963 that would have ended the Federal Reserve. Abraham Lincoln instituted a similar monetary policy for which he arguably suffered the same fate.

Until the bankers who control the world from the top of the power pyramid can be dis-empowered, the magnitude of change we need in these days is not really possible.

I appreciate these thoughts. The more I read about this conflict the more I feel it is hard given the current mix of consciousness in our world. It's painful to watch what is happening,. It’s human to feel that pain. But it feels like so many humans feel the only way to respond is to strike back full force . Those in power seem to feel that way.

I want to see a different respond, but how? Is it realistic? These are the thoughts that come to my mind.
