love the ‘opposable thumb’ analogy. works perfectly; and the analogy has legs. seems it’ll apply to most all White House occupants vis-a-vis their banner issues and major contrasts with power. none since JFK got around to confronting power. i can’t think of any reform [that’s not reactionary; e.g. Reagan’s platform] that’s survived.

it’s some kind of jujitsu.

Yes, I've argued it applied to Obama as well. But you're right, I can see it going back quite a ways.

Re: Francis Boyle appearing on Alex Jones' Info Wars show. Sorry, but I totally reject his appearing on that show. It's guilt by association. It does way more harm than good because people on the other side of the vaccine and Great Reset issue, especially those sitting on the fence, can say, "Aha! This guy's take on bioweapons is garbage because of the company he keeps!" Alex Jones is trash, the lowest of the low. He ruined the lives of innocent parents whose children had been murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School by claiming they were phonies, actors. Absolutely revolting and unacceptable. And why did he do it? To suck up to the NRA and its followers. There are other creeps, enablers of racists and white supremacists like Tucker Carlson, but a Republican like Sen Ron Johnson is to be applauded for hosting those valuable public sessions of doctors, researchers, whistleblowers revealing who is behind the fraudulent Covid scheme and the damage it has done

And the NYT helped lie the country into the Iraq invasion but tons of "progressives" are badgering to get into their pages.

What's this got to do with Alex Jones? I'm not a fan of the NYT, I detest their corrupt take on Covid from the beginning. I also was against the Iraq invasions and called for Bush and Cheney to be thrown in jail

Important caveat for the gain of function research JJ Couey has explained in detail.. the biology for viruses lacks the fidelity for any GoF virus to cause a pandemic. An infectious clone can be made that might infect a small local area but the nature of human to human transmission w biology rules show it will mutate back to the most stable proteins and most humans will have some prior exposure immunity to those stable proteins. The spike that was altered in CoV-19 is the least stable protein & impossible fidelity to maintain. Net result the "pandemic" was manufactured w deaths largely attributed to denial of care for yearly pneumonia deaths. JJ explains better in his own words.

Please don't try to typecast me as a "progressive," these outmoded "political" terms mean nothing. We are dealing with the biggest threat to humanity to ever come along, transhumanism and fake pandemics to destroy people with ongoing toxic jabs. Appearing on Alex Jones show is a disservice to what we're trying to do.

Michael -- So you don't think Jones is morally worse than the NYT, but that it's tactically a bad thing to do because it can be used to tarnish people trying to scrutinize pandemic policies and such? Is that a fair understanding of what you're saying? Sam

Yes and no, Sam. I feel what you're saying about tactically a bad thing to do is correct. But I'm not into comparing Jones to the NYT, it's apples and oranges. One is an individual who continued to harm people who already were suffering just about the worst hurt one could feel -- the death of their innocent children at the hands of an insane murderer. Yet Jones kept twisting his knife in order to reap rewards from the NRA crowd. The NYT, on the other hand, is another of the many corrupt, bought and sold mainstream media. Despite the grotesque, power-grabbing big business statement that corporations are legally individual people, they are not. Alex Jones is
