Jen Psaki Admits ‘Anti-Vaxxer Conspiracy Theorist’ RFK Jr. A ‘Huge Problem’ For Biden 2024
Former Joe Biden Press Secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki complained popular independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a “problem” for Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign.
Fellow MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski asked Psaki what RFK Jr. is doing by running for president, and the ex-press secretary joked that she doesn’t want to get into his mind because he “doesn’t believe in science.”

Psaki pointed out Donald Trump’s base is loyal and will not vote for anyone else before noting third-party candidates “are a huge, huge, huge problem,” for Biden.
“If you look at RFK Jr., it’s the name recognition issue,” she told Brzezinski. “And there are still states in this country, obviously I mean, Georgia is one of them I will name where the Kennedy name is beloved, right? Where people may just not know a lot about the fact that he is an anti-vaxxer who is a conspiracy theorist. They don’t know that yet.”
It sure seems as if Psaki was insinuating the people of Georgia aren’t smart enough to vet Kennedy for themselves before supporting his presidential campaign.
She continued, explaining the Biden campaign has begun “an aggressive effort” alongside the Democratic National Committee to slander RFK as a kooky anti-vaxx conspiracy theorist.
“It needs to be broad, people need to be shouting it from the rooftops because this is one of the biggest threats to Joe Biden being reelected, is these third party candidates,” Psaki acknowledged.
The naive political pundit fails to realize the people who support Kennedy are fully aware of his anti-Big Pharma stance, and his views about the Covid pandemic and vaccines.
Kennedy’s followers also understand the media are liars and that any campaign led by the Biden campaign and DNC is just more propaganda being disseminated by the corrupt political establishment.
Black Teens Arrested After Elderly Homeless White Man Murdered in Parking Lot
Police in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, arrested several black teenagers accused of brutally beating a homeless man in a parking lot who later died from his injuries.
Footage later uploaded to TikTok by the teens show the white victim, Donald Mitchell Jr., 61, laying motionless in the parking lot after he was savagely assaulted.
In Stevens Point, Wisconsin, four men, aged 18 to 20, African Americans, from Wausau, came to Steven Points to have some fun at a club, however, since they were under the age of 21, they were denied access.

In the video, submitted as evidence in court, the teens can be heard mocking the man and laughing at him as he laid face-down on the pavement.
The Wausau Pilot & Review has more on the circumstances that led up to the deadly altercation, and the extent of the victim’s fatal injuries:
According to the Point Plover Metro Wire, police and paramedics responded at about 11:45 p.m. Friday, March 15 to the 1100 block of Centerpoint Drive for a report of a man on the ground following an apparent assault. The caller told officers they saw the man being beaten up by three people in the area of a local hotel.
The caller told police they heard yelling between the victim and suspects after the man accused them of taking something from his truck. A witness reported seeing three men surround the victim near his vehicle, then actively punch him with their fists. The man fell to the ground and one of the suspects kicked him while he was down.
[…]
According to the Point Plover Metro Wire report, Emerson and three of his friends drove to Stevens Point from Wausau to go to a nightclub on Main Street. They were denied entry due to their ages, then “wandered around the area” until about 11:30 p.m., when they encountered the man.
After the beating, the victim was taken to an area hospital for an evaluation, then transported to a trauma center in Wausau for treatment of broken ribs, severe head trauma, swollen eyes and severe brain swelling, Dodge said. The man died a short time later.
Police have arrested Brandon Boehm, 20, Christian Emerson, 18, and Arlin Sangster, 19, for allegedly committing the assault, charging them with 1st-degree reckless homicide, while a fourth person, Daemon Kitzrow, 19, who was not involved in the assault won’t be charged.

The horrendous crime contradicts the position of the federal government, led by Joe Biden, who has for years been promoting the narrative that white supremacy is the greatest terror threat Americans face.
The Irish Government Failed to Redefine the Family
Last Friday, a large majority of Irish voters (67.7%) rejected their government’s proposal to insert a new definition of the family into the Constitution, in which “durable relationships” and not just a marital bond, could form the legal basis for the family unit. They also rejected – by a historically unprecedented landslide of 73.9% – a proposal to replace a clause expressing support for the care work of mothers in the home with a gender-neutral recognition of care work by “members of a family.”
The so-called “Care” amendment was essentially a piece of window-dressing to make a symbolic recognition of the role of mothers in the home sound more inclusive – not by adding a mention of fathers, nor by tangibly enlarging the rights of caregivers, but rather, by eliminating the only mention of “mother” from the Irish Constitution.
The Family Amendment, had it passed, would have had citizens wondering whether their boyfriends or girlfriends were “family” for the purposes of inheriting property, whether immigration rules would have to be altered to accommodate a much more expansive idea of family reunification rights, and whether a deceased person’s unmarried friends or romantic partners could vie with blood relatives to make claims on the property of the deceased.
These referendums were the work of politicians so infatuated with their ideal of Woke “progress” that they were neither able to grasp the fact that they were alienating their own supporters, nor able to play fair with voters by giving them grownup explanations of what they were voting for – for example, they never came clean with voters about the fact, noted in a leaked memo from their own Attorney General, that there was significant legal uncertainty surrounding the concept of “durable relationships.” Thankfully, we did not have to wait for judges to sort through this legal mess, because Irish citizens did not buy the government’s story that this was just about creating a more “inclusive” society.
In light of the government’s dramatic policy failures in housing, healthcare, and immigration, the resounding “No” vote that echoed up and down the country was not just a rejection of these constitutional amendments: it was also a clear vote of no confidence in Ireland’s political Establishment.
The contrast between the views of Ireland’s political parties and those of the people who elected them could hardly be starker: all of Ireland’s incumbent political parties, except for two tiny parties, Aontú with one elected deputy, and Independent Ireland with three deputies, called for a “Yes” vote. So the “No” vote, which represented four in five voters in the case of the Care Amendment, and two in three in the case of the Family Amendment, was only represented by two miniscule parties and a handful of independent deputies.
There are important political lessons to be drawn from the resounding defeat of these constitutional proposals. Most notably, the referendum outcomes are as good a proof as any that Ireland’s established political parties are completely out of touch with their support base, which opposed their recommendations in droves. With a general election just around the corner, there is now a massive political vacuum, which may be filled by new parties and candidates who speak for disenfranchised voters.
Finally, as Senator Ronan Mullen put it, Irish citizens “can be led, but they won’t be pushed” or pressured by underhand tactics into acting against their own better judgment:
Faced with secretly drawn-up proposals to dilute the significance of marriage for family life, and to dishonour women and motherhood by removing the only direct reference to their interests in Bunreacht na hEireann, and observing the ruthless way in which debate on these proposals was suppressed in the Dáil and Seanad, the people have – I think it is fair to say – snapped back. They weren’t confused. They knew what they were voting for. They didn’t like it. And they rejected it massively. The Irish people can be led. But they won’t be pushed.
Watch: Democratic Leaders Tell America That Illegal Aliens Come First
The Money Supply Fell for the Fifteenth Month in a Row as Full-Time Jobs Disappear
Money supply growth fell again in January, remaining deep in negative territory after turning negative in November 2022 for the first time in twenty-eight years. January’s drop continues a steep downward trend from the unprecedented highs experienced during much of the past three years.
Since April 2021, money supply growth has slowed quickly, and since late 2022, we’ve been seeing the money supply repeatedly contract, year over year. The last time the year-over-year (YOY) change in the money supply slipped into negative territory was in November 1994. At that time, negative growth continued for fifteen months, finally turning positive again in January 1996.
Money-supply growth has now been negative for fifteen months in a row. During January 2024, the downturn continued as YOY growth in the money supply was at –6.13 percent. That’s up slightly from December’s rate of decline which was of –7.40 percent, and was below January 2023’s rate of –5.09 percent. With negative growth now lasting more than a year and coming in below negative five percent for the past thirteen months, money-supply contraction is the largest we’ve seen since the Great Depression. Prior to this year, at no other point for at least sixty years has the money supply fallen by more than 6 percent (YoY) in any month.
The money supply metric used here—the “true,” or Rothbard-Salerno, money supply measure (TMS)—is the metric developed by Murray Rothbard and Joseph Salerno, and is designed to provide a better measure of money supply fluctuations than M2. (The Mises Institute now offers regular updates on this metric and its growth.)
In recent months, M2 growth rates have followed a similar course to TMS growth rates, although TMS has fallen faster than M2. In January 2024, the M2 growth rate was –1.94 percent. That’s down from December’s growth rate of –2.47 percent. January 2024’s growth rate was also down from January 2023’s rate of –1.61 percent.
Money supply growth can often be a helpful measure of economic activity and an indicator of coming recessions. During periods of economic boom, money supply tends to grow quickly as commercial banks make more loans. Recessions, on the other hand, tend to be preceded by slowing rates of money supply growth.
It should be noted that the money supply does not need to actually contract to signal a recession. As shown by Ludwig von Mises, recessions are often preceded by a mere slowing in money supply growth. But the drop into negative territory we’ve seen in recent months does help illustrate just how far and how rapidly money supply growth has fallen. That is generally a red flag for economic growth and employment.
The fact that the money supply is shrinking at all is remarkable because the money supply in modern times almost never gets smaller. The money supply has now fallen by approximately $2.8 trillion (or 13.00 percent) since the peak in April 2022. Proportionally, the drop in money supply since 2022 is the largest fall we’ve seen since the Depression. (Rothbard estimates that in the lead-up to the Great Depression, the money supply fell by 12 percent from its peak of $73 billion in mid-1929 to $64 billion at the end of 1932.)
In spite of this recent drop in total money supply, the trend in money-supply remains well above what existed during the twenty-year period from 1989 to 2009. To return to this trend, the money supply would have to drop another $3 trillion or so—or 15 percent—down to a total below $15 trillion. Moreover, as of January, total money supply was still up 32.9 percent (or $4.6 trillion) since January 2020.
Since 2009, the TMS money supply is now up by more than 180 percent. (M2 has grown by 145 percent in that period.) Out of the current money supply of $18.9 trillion, $4.6 trillion—or 24 percent—of that has been created since January 2020. Since 2009, $12.1 trillion of the current money supply has been created. In other words, nearly two-thirds of the total existing money supply have been created just in the past thirteen years.
With these kinds of totals, a ten-percent drop only puts a small dent in the huge edifice of newly created money. The US economy still faces a very large monetary overhang from the past several years, and this is partly why after eighteen months of slowing money-supply growth, we are only now starting to see a sizable slowdown in the labor market. (For example, as of February, total employment has fallen for three months in a row, and full-time employment has fallen by 1.8 million jobs over that period.)
Moreover, even though year-over-year comparisons remain starkly negative, the total money supply has been largely unchanged on a month-to-month basis over the past seven months. Specifically, the total TMS money supply rose slightly to $19 trillion in July 2023, and since then has only fallen by 64 billion (or 0.34 percent), hovering around $18.9 trillion. From December 2023 to January 2024, the TMS measure fell only 0.18 percent.
These aggregate numbers obscure many important details of where liquidity is falling, and where it is rising. For example Daniel Lacalle has shown some parts of the economy are entering a bust period while other parts see a continued boom. Put another way, the drop in the money supply over the past year has affected different parts of the economy differently. Lacalle describes the current situation as one of a “private sector recession” or a recession in the productive economy. This is to be contrasted with the continuing boom in government spending and government contractors. The sizable increases in GDP we’ve seen in recent quarters have been driven largely by government spending and growth in government jobs. When it comes to the government sector, and those industries that benefit directly from government spending, liquidity has not reflected the overall declines we’ve seen in the money supply. As Lacalle explained here at mises.org, sizable drops in the money supply have nonetheless been repeatedly mitigated by behind-the-scenes efforts at the Fed to make sure that liquidity continues to move into large banks. Even as some sectors of the economy are facing a deflationary bust, the central bank is careful to make sure the politically-connected financial sector is still flush with cash.
(Nonetheless, the overall monetary slowdown has been sufficient to considerably weaken the economy by some measures. The Philadelphia Fed’s manufacturing index is in recession territory. The Leading Indicators index keeps looking worse. The yield curve points to recession. Temp are still down, year-over-year, which often indicates approaching recession. Bankruptcies surged 18 percent in 2023.)
In spite of recent drops in the money supply, there has been no sign of any deflation in consumer prices or asset prices. CPI inflation continues to march upward, and there has been no reversal of the 20 percent surge in prices that consumers have endured since 2020.
Indeed, according to February’s CPI report, CPI inflation accelerated for the second month in a row. Given that the money supply has flattened out at a post-covid plateau, combined with continued growth in CPI inflation, it is clear, the so-called “quantitative tightening” that the central bank has allegedly embraced over the past year has been insufficient to truly rein in the money supply or CPI inflation.
In spite of this, we continue to hear calls from Wall Street and Washington demanding more easy money policies from the Fed. The regime is so addicted to easy access to newly-created dollars that a 20-percent CPI surge and an extra three to six trillion dollars sloshing around the economy (over just the past four years) still isn’t enough. That is, it’s not enough to meet the needs of Washington spenders or to keep interest rates low enough for the zombie companies now dominating the economic landscape.
It didn’t have to be this way, but ordinary people are now paying the price for a decade of easy money cheered by Wall Street and the profligates in Washington. The only way to put the economy on a more stable long-term path is for the Fed to stop intervening to keep pumping liquidity to the regime and its allies. That would mean a return to a falling money supply and popping of economic bubbles. But it also lays the groundwork for a real economy—i.e., an economy not built on endless bubbles—built by saving and investment rather than spending made possible by artificially low interest rates and easy money.
Economist Warns Rollout Of The Mark Of The Beast Being Prepared By Central Bank
WATCH: Illegals Pour Into US After Border Fence Breach
Cameras were rolling in El Paso, Texas, as a large group of illegal aliens poured into the United States after breaching a barbed wire fence defending the border.
Footage filmed on the Mexican side of the border circulating on social media shows the intense scene as criminal trespassers scaled a small chain-link fence topped with barbed wire, prompting hundreds to enter the US illegally.
Just right now, the border fencing was breached in El Paso, Texas. Hundreds made their way around the wire. Guess where the majority are from…

“Hundreds of migrants were pushed south of the concertina wire in the middle of the night by Texas National Guard,” documented journalist J. Omar Ornelas, adding, “Hours later they again breached the concertina and made a rush for the border wall in El Paso, Texas.”
Ornelas also noted the illegal invaders hailed from Africa, Central América, Colombia, and Venezuela.
The rush of illegals breaching the border comes as the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday moved to temporarily block the state from enforcing a bill allowing Texas to arrest and deport illegal immigrants.
CIA’s Operation Mockingbird Exposed by Fox News: Covert Agents Embedded in US Media to Manipulate Public
Fox News host Jesse Watters delved this week into the CIA’s Operation Mockingbird, where the federal government covertly embedded journalists and informants in the US media in order to propagandize the American public and push a political agenda.
“Langley was laundering narratives to the press and into the public’s veins,” Watters noted Tuesday.
“The most trusted names in news were working wittingly or unwittingly as Deep State conduits of disinformation. At least 22 American news organizations, from The New York Times to Life magazine to CBS, had journalists on the CIA payroll.”
The New York Times is doing PR for the Deep State. The Times said we should rally around them because they’re good old American public servants who do Pilates and eat Lucky Charms. But at the same time, the Deep State sent the guy behind the CIA letter to put a big fat target on… pic.twitter.com/ezA0TbL2Ju

Watters also aired footage of the 1975 Church Committee hearings, in which outgoing CIA Director William Colby admitted to the agency having embedded assets in major media outlets.
Watters’ refresher on Operation Mockingbird comes in reference to the New York Times this week admitting the “Deep State” network of globalist saboteurs embedded in the federal government and the media not only exist, but that they’re “actually kind of awesome.”
