Del Bigtree, a longtime ally of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., isn’t just anti-vaccine. He’s pro-infection.

Over coffee at a Starbucks just outside Austin, Texas, Del Bigtree told me he wants his teenage son to catch polio. Measles, too. He’s considered driving his unvaccinated family to South Carolina, which is in the midst of a historic outbreak, so that they can all be exposed. He prefers pertussis—whooping cough—to the pertussis vaccine, which he later described to me as a “crime against children.” It’s not the diseases that Americans should be afraid of, Bigtree insists: It’s the shots that stop them.

Spreading that message is Bigtree’s lifework. He produced Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe, a 2016 documentary that helped mainstream the modern anti-vaccine movement by alleging—spuriously—that the CDC suppressed evidence of vaccine harms. His weekly internet show, The HighWire With Del Bigtree, mostly targets the pharmaceutical industry and has helped raise millions for his nonprofit, the Informed Consent Action Network, which files lawsuits to overturn school vaccine mandates around the country. He’s been a close adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and served as communications director for Kennedy’s 2024 presidential campaign.

& Peter Thiel is pushing that the woke are the anti-christ.

Why be surprised by evil's reversal-of-frame-of-reference?

https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/

Simply scrolling down that page, reading the section-headlines, provides enough..

I think he's got a number of things wrong, like the mortal-head-wound NOT being the missed rifleshot, but instead being the stroke, MRI, & whatever else's involved in his current, temporary, dementia, & obviously I hold that the miracle-cure will happen, in our soon-future ( 2026-02-25 as I'm writing this ).

But overall that page is spot-on, at-least in identifying which of the Christian prophecies need be considered, for matches, in the present unfolding..

Pushing lies is their-religion: pushing that the woke are anti-christ contradicts their own bible, but it is their-religion, not their-bible, which they hold holy..

The anti-women's-validity/rights movement which gaslights about "protecting" women..

The fact that the one they claim as their LORD was an exorcist & healer, but they push evil & harm..

Welcome to humankind's setting-up of global tantrum/pogrom/deathmatch!

Humankind's unconscious ego-myth is MUCH more important than this-world's life, right?


What's really sad/comical about all this, is that it doesn't even matter which "religion" one is in, the unconscious-motivation to enforce ego-myth's apocalypse is unstoppable!

so ALL the Abrahamic religions are working on enforcing it, coherently.

& Modi's Hindutva India's working on enforcing it regionally in Asia, as China's Communist Party's doing, too.

etc.

All the appearances are mere "makeup": the REAL war is underlying that, our unconscious-mind's ego-"godhood" addiction, & if evil's the way to "make that real", then evil's what humankind's enforcing, until something ( consequences ) force-breaks humankind's collective ignorance-ego from this world ( 2080's, at the earliest, IF this world's Great Filter has ANY survivors, at all ).

See it for what it is: unconscious-ignorance "establishing" that its "power" is the ONLY LORD, & no matter what has to be broken to enforce/"prove" it, that'll happen.

All the details are mere "makeup".

This is what happens, at a whole-planet-scale, when an individual addict is fighting for their life against their-own unconscious-mind's addiction, & their unconscious-mind holds that addiction is "greater" than their life.

Same process, just "upscaled" to planet-size, from individual-size, is all.

The unconscious-ignorance-addiction being the true "driver" of the process is identical, in both cases.

Just that we've got entire-classes-of-people in planet-scale, whereas an individual would have only their SurfaceMind fighting against their unconscious-LifeMind, so it'd be more 1-on-1 mind-against-mind, in the individual-case.

Planetscale it's groups-against-groups, obviously.
