CATHOLIC-KENN-JEW?

Welcome to Tubularsock. Today Tubularsock was contacted by a person that Tubularsock has the deepest respect for when it comes to flushing out “feelings, attitudes and heart-focused focus”.

Tubularsock’s response to this approach is really base and functionary, fucking throw a grenade into that fucking mess!

Yet, Tubularsock is going to attempt to connect with his “feminine” side and attempt a compassionate approach to why Kennedy is so blinded from reality when it comes to Israel and that fucking zionist sicko Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu! A downright pathetic individual who Tubularsock would gladly DRAW AND QUARTER in the market square!

Of course this would be a major shift from Tubularsock’s non-violent view …

Well there are exceptions.

That is why Tubularsock wishes to have you pay attention and contribute YOUR THOUGHTS to this presentation as opposed to Tubularsock’s focus. So please express your view on this information and we’ll set Tubularsock on the shelf for now with his full of box grenades. They are cheaper by the dozen!

KENNEDY? WHAT HAPPENED?

The Concept vs. the Real (Guest Blog in incognito.)

Hi Tube—
Many persons I know who were initially buoyed by the announcement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Presidential run as an independent candidate, now find themselves,
as I do, struggling with the seeming incongruity between who he SEEMS to be, and his unwavering defense of the Israelis’ unrelenting and indiscriminate bombardment of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

This very intelligent and gutsy man, who seems to have a real vision for our country,
who is awake to the veneer used to justify the war in Ukraine—how is it that he can continue to back the Israeli atrocities in Gaza that seem to so perfectly mirror the Nazi atrocities in Germany?

Chris Hedges says it’s an issue of . . .
“. . . there (being) a heavy political price to pay for defying Israel, whose overt interference in our political process makes the most tepid protests about Israeli policy a political death wish. To stand up to Israel has a political cost few, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are willing to pay. But if you do stand up, it singles you out as someone who puts principles before expediency, who is willing to fight for the wretched of the earth and, if necessary, sacrifice your political future to retain your integrity. Kennedy fails this crucial test of political and moral courage.”
(Read Hedges’ article at https://chrishedges.substack.com/p/robert-f-kennedy-jr-the-israel-lobbys))

Hedges may be entirely correct.
Yet I still have difficulty accepting this as the whole explanation for such a seemingly UN-understandable stance on Kennedy’s part.
Thinking and integrous persons and Kennedy-advisors like Charles Eisenstein (an American public speaker, teacher and author) are still supporting Kennedy in hopes he will change his position, despite their own views on the Israeli genocide in Gaza being completely contrary to his. (Though others—like former campaign-manager Dennis Kucinich— have quit the campaign over the issue.)

As I continued to explore the question in myself, I began to look at the power of CONCEPTS that are challenged by REALITY—or by “what is so”, what is REAL, what is before one’s PHYSICAL EYES . . .

I recalled vividly my own struggle to leave a toxic and abusive family relationship which my INTELLECT and SENSES could clearly see was terribly destructive

for all, yet I found myself totally stuck emotionally, psychologically, and

on a deep, almost-soul level with the IDEA, the CONCEPT of “the SACREDNESS OF THE FAMILY” (“You can NOT forsake your family!”)

The CONCEPT had such a powerful hold on me, that despite therapy and other support, despite looking directly at the REALITY of the abuse, it took me to near-death (literally) to break the stranglehold of the CONCEPT I held (or in a sense the concept that HELD ME), and to finally close the door on the relationship.

As I recalled my own situation, the question came to mind: Could Kennedy be caught so deeply in the CONCEPT, or the IDEA of the Zionist IDEAL of Israel . . .
that 20,000 dead bodies flashing over and over again on the internet and television screens can not penetrate the power of THE IDEA, THE CONCEPT of “Israel” that he holds?

Both Kennedy’s father (RFK Sr.) and his uncle (JFK) were die-hard supporters of Israel.
Family imprinting and “agreements” may weigh in here.
What happens when BELIEFS and IDEAS and CONCEPTS that are made into “sacred cows” (all of which can be basically of enormous value and correctness)—are confronted with PHYSICAL, TANGIBLE REALITY?
When CONCEPT meets REALITY. . . .
When the physical REAL challenges or strips the CONCEPT of its validity . . .
