I already know that this posting is not going to be popular. I already know that many find RFK, Jr. wacky and despicable. I already know that some will have a melt-down, a shut-out, or a rambling-rant because of what he is saying in this video. I also know that what he is saying, must be heard.

The Pig and the Pauper Who Made a Million
The Pig and the Pauper Who Made a Million Once upon a time in the vibrant village of Wigan, where the rooftops were painted in beautiful colours and cobblestone lanes hummed with laughter, lived a pauper named Oliver. Always clad in ragged clothes that seemed to blend into the dirt, he had a heart full of dreams even though his pockets were as empty as his pantry. Oliver was a dreamer, often lost in thoughts of strange adventures and flights of fancy, convinced that one day, something remarkable would happen to change his life.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion
Since the beginning of civilization, humanity has experienced various systems of governance, each seeking to gain legitimacy and ensure steadfast loyalty. The hereditary dynasty model was particularly dominant, influencing the rise and fall of empires. However, history is marked by instances when the populace has risen up, contesting the divine authority of their rulers and challenging the established order. A notable example of this occurred in ancient China more than 1,800 years ago during the Yellow Turban Rebellion—a significant uprising that not only questioned the legitimacy of the ruling dynasty but also altered the trajectory of Chinese history.

The Hola Massacre
Hola Exile Camp was in an arid, mosquito-infested area in the East of the colony near Garissa. By March 1959, it held about 1000 hardcore detainees some of whom had been brought in from Mageta Island where they had participated in a major riot. On March 3rd 1959, 88 of the Hola detainees were marched outdoors for the day’s labour which they refused to do. They politely stated that they were liberation detainees and not prisoners meaning they did not have to work. While this was true in the years prior, the ‘Cowan Plan’ was now in effect empowering the guards to compel them to work if need be.
