Vivek Ramaswamy – the youngest Republican – sat down with Tucker Carlson in a wide-ranging interview this evening.
Ramaswamy talks about his controversial (for some) accusations that the government, the 9/11 Commission, and the FBI lied about certain events, leading to demands for accountability.
“It’s not okay for the government to lie to us. In a democracy, it’s poison and it corrodes the system that we revere: democracy.
But his main themes were on the public’s dwindling trust in the government, the need for hard truths, and historical shifts in power dynamics.
“We’re going to have a reckoning. I think that reckoning is likely going to be 2024.”
Our ‘establishments’ refuse to give us the truth, Ramaswamy says “we can handle the truth,” extending the analogy to a new American Revolution:
“we, the people live in a moment where the government believes that citizens of this nation cannot be trusted with the truth.”
Ramaswamy then tells Carlson:
“I think there is a bipartisan consensus in this country right now that we the people, we can’t handle the truth,”
“It’s like Jack Nicholson at the end of movie, right? You can’t handle the truth, you need me on that wall. My view, my basic view in this campaign is no, we don’t need you on that wall and yes, we can handle the truth.”
He goes on:
“I think we’re on the cusp of chaos, there is definitely something going on… we are in a fall of 1775, spring of 1776 moment…”
But warns “there’s a lot of ways that energy can go…”
“…there’s a dam that’s going to break and the river’s going to go somewhere… I hope it leads towards national revival rather than… other places where this could go.“
Ramaswamy emphasizes the importance of addressing defense vulnerabilities, both nuclear and cyber, and discusses China’s influence and the Taiwan issue (consummate the co-dependent relationship with China, aware that Xi is pushing for a deal where he gets to make our stuff – via Taiwan – and in return, gets our IP).
With regard to foreign relations: the Republican candidate raises concerns about driving Russia closer to China – due to the arming of Ukraine – which is perceived as a major military threat. Additionally, he points out America’s dependence on an island nation off China for its modern way of life and debates surrounding the Ukraine war and economic dependence on China.
(“I will not send our sons and daughters to die over somebody else’s nationalistic dispute in the Ukraine war,” the candidate said, suggesting instead to reopen economic ties, and commit to NATO constraint.
, Hunter Biden‘s business dealings, and what really happened on January 6th.
He will be about as popular among the deep state-ers as Trump.
Ramaswamy also told Carlson that the modern LGBTQ movement is a “religious cult,” making people justify their beliefs despite them disconnected from logic.
“These are cult-like belief systems. Right, because if it’s a religious cult, then you don’t have any obligation to logic if you’re subscribing to a religion,” he said.
“And the worst religions are the ones that fail to recognize themselves as religions … The most dangerous religions of all are those that claim to be secular but are actually religious in their conviction.”
Finally, Ramaswamy reflects on his campaign:
“I’d rather lose some election than to play some political snakes and ladders of what we’re supposed to say,” he said.
“And I think that that’s really one of the questions at issue today as it was in 1776. Do we believe that the public can be trusted with the truth? Whatever the truth is, just give me the hard truth.”

Why would the MSM lie? [smirk)
.
EXCERPT:
Nietzsche disdained the multitudes and thought that it was superior persons who should seek power, admittedly not in the political field. What happened, however, was that huge numbers of people sought power as the only transcendent good; and given the normal distribution of most human qualities such as talent, it was inevitable that most people who sought (and achieved) power were mediocrities. In other words, the decline of religion, far from conducing to an age of personal and artistic superiority, as Nietzsche hoped, conduced to the very opposite, the flowering (if I may be allowed what seems like an oxymoron) of mediocrity.
We all seek power to one degree or another. Some people succumb to the disease of powerism, which converts the healthy need for power into an obsession similar to a junkie and his heroin. Those people who rise to the height of power are not mediocrities, they are the best and fittest of all those others who are driven to get power, albeit they may be mediocre in other areas involved with government.
The best never seek power over others, only competence in, and mastery over their own abilities. Mediocrity seeks power over others. The article’s observations are valid.
power can mean many things
just name one, that’s all I need, just one name. Let’s see, Obama? Jamie Dimon? Vladimir Putin? Trump? (Putin is out as he meets the prerequisite of, to quote below, “competence in, and mastery over [his] own abilities.”) Find one without corruption and nepotism.
Betcha can’t. Oh, you’ll name one, but you’ll again be wrong.
What?
Ein super Mann: Wir stehen für Wahrheit, Gerechtigkeit und die amerikanische Art.
“A great man: We stand for truth, justice and the American way.”
Who?
If he did get elected, the communists and RINOS will come out of the woodwork to prevent any of what he may want to accomplish from happening, just like what was done to Trump.
Then there will be those that will tell us all what a weak buffoon he was for not doing what he promised, in spite of what he actually did accomplish, just like what is being done now to Trump.
Spot on YAJ, spot on!
That point of view is like arguing who gets the most comfortable seat in Hell. Totally unhelpful…but since none of this shit can be fixed, none of it really matters anyway. You’re still going to be in Hell no matter where you elect to sit, stand or run.
You can either make peace with the fact you’re IN Hell or GTFO and go create your OWN Hell somewhere else. Those seem to be our options.
BTW? What Trump “accomplished” was nothing different than what your average bull in a china shop couldn’t duplicate.
If this guy really wanted to improve America, he would just leave.
At least he does not appear to go for the LGBT abominations like Trump. Ask him to leave and take Trump with him.
‘Merika
Gays for Trump
Spot on Joe !!! Too many think just because it technically is within a presidents constitutional powers that all he has to do is pull some allegorical ” lever of power ” an “boom ” ,” presto ” everyone within the bureaucracy and down along the chain of command are automatically just going to get in line . but the reality is unfortunately quite different and speaks to the problem itself . Unnacountable , unelected permanent bureaucratic deep state runs things the way they see fit , for their own interests . I hate to say it but we( the people) are probably the only ones who can ,if we have the stones to do the ugly and uncomfortable things that most don’t want to even consider, yet because apparently we are still to “comfy ” , reform the situation .And its not going to happen thru the ballot box, some redress of grievances , or any other of what we like to consider democratic process . No , we’re too far along now for normal political solutions . I think you know what is left .
I posted this video six months ago before they edited with the gun grabber in it.
Of whom do you speak, name names…..or are you a coward?
Pedophilia, child sex trafficking , drugs, prostitution and homosexuality = activities found within casinos
“It’s not okay for the government to lie to us. In a democracy, it’s poison and it corrodes the system that we revere: democracy”
Oxymoron ^
We are a Republic in name only. Democracy is what got us here. Democracies always morph into Oligarchy
We want liberty and a republic instead of freedom and democracy.
Who is this ‘we’?
RFK Junya has a very long history with Chabad. A far left commie, Abby Rockefeller is one of his top donors (100,000 dollars).
http://www.freebeacon.com/democrats/this-far-left-socialist-is-a-top-donor-to-rfk-jr/
Word salad, he’s still pushing climate change and CO2 as a pollutant. _(Non starter).. It’s what’s behind the curtain that concerns me.
Carbon control is social behavior control. It is becoming more obvious that world controllers wish to regiment society BEFORE ‘ free energy ‘ is introduced, otherwise their management positions would be threatened, and we can’t have that , can we ?
unicorn hopes. There will never be ‘free energy’ allowed as long as man is on this planet wanting control, power and $$$.
That would be a really good point Anon, if they ever intended us to have free energy. They don’t.
They don’t give a shit how much energy you have OR what it costs. What they’ll NEVER allow you to have is FREEDOM.
You can’t lose what you never had.
Does freedom have anything to do with who lives inside your head?
but he is an anti-vaxxer. He must be a great guy.
That issue is a lot more important than “climate change”, which is 100% bunk for dummies…
Maybe not more important in the long run, pyrrhus. You vill eat ze bugz. No beef for you because cow farts. No car for you. You vill live in a 15 minute city. Who needs to be free anyway when your every need is taken care of.
THEY SAID THEMSELVES climate change is what they’re going with.
RFKjr is chosen. In my opinion.
He is at least Plan B
Reducing carbon will also reduce oxygen.
Less carbon= less greenery and tree health= less oxygen content to be able to breathe properly.
Every time…and I do mean every time, man dicks with the natural environment, he makes it 1,000x’s worse. Fixing what never needed to be fixed in the first place.
Like vaxes, instead of natural immunity.
Would maximum increase in water vapor fix the loss of oxygen, Anon? Me thinks there will be a great deal of H2O vapor in the future.
?????
That’s the rub BL Around 97 percent of the CO2 in the atmosphere is from evaporated water.
Booger-There is a shit ton of water vapor in your future. I’ll leave it at that. (not kidding)
Not sure what you mean.. But yes.
Trust the plan, Booger
What plan?….. Never mind, fuck the plan!…Me thinks.
Booger – No, don’t fuk this plan, this will be a good plan if they don’t crispy critter us. Just believe me on this.
This is not the old plan and has nothing to do with El Trump or Q.
Can you explain this process? I don’t understand and have never heard this before.
As the ocean water evaporates it emits Co2 molecules, of the 0.04 percent CO2 in the atmosphere, Ocean water is responsible for about 97 percent of that 0.04 percent.
Thanks.
We better keep this shit quiet before the carbon cabal outlaws oceans.
Seriously, did you guys not know that water vapor is the largest source of CO2? SMH
I’ll bet you would have answered vehicle exhaust, amirite? This is a scam of unprecedented magnitude but we will play along for a while longer
Ssshhhhhhhhh……….
I would have guessed plant based life but” damnnit Jim” I’m only a carpenter .I know I know , I got the process reversed ( plants essentially exhale oxygen ), its been a long hot week and I am physically and mentally spent .
where does the carbon in h²o come from?
Do you mean it releases dissolved CO2?
How do You get CO2 from H2O?
Oceans absorb carbon in several way, mostly as carbonic acid. When evaporated, CO2 is released into the atmosphere. Truth told, this place is really just a mega battery creating electricity , which is a whole other thing for another day.
seems like it would only concentrate the acid?
I know right ? Maybe they are terra forming the planet for their “reptillian overlords ” . Kinda joking of course but sometimes I just have to really wonder , these people are behaving as though some impending doom we’re imminent but kept on the downlow .
All life is carbon, and plant life requires lots of CO2…so their goal is the extinction of life…
Zero-Carbon is a fairy tale.
He’s correct. It was decided that the people cannot be trusted.
Energy > Power > Social Control
With the creation of the laser in 1954, the promise of unlocking UNLIMITED SOURCES OF FUSION ATOMIC ENERGY FROM THE HEAVY HYDROGEN IN SEA WATER and the consequent availability of unlimited social power was a possibility only decades away.
“Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars” is the doctrine adopted by the Policy Committee of
the Bilderberg Group during its first known meeting in 1954. A copy found in
1969 was in the possession of Naval Intelligence.
The following document, dated May 1979, was found on July 7,1986, in an
IBM copier that had been purchased at a surplus sale.
This book contains an introductory description of this war, its strategies, and its weaponry
SECURITY
It is patently impossible to discuss social engineering or the automat-
ion of a society, i.e., the engineering of social automation systems (SILENT WEAPONS) on a NATIONAL or WORLDWIDE SCALE without implying extensive OBJECTIVES of SOCIAL CONTROL and DESTRUCTION OF
HUMAN LIFE, i.e., SLAVERY and GENOCIDE.
This manual is in itself an analog declaration of intent. Such a writing
must be SECURED FROM PUBLIC SCRUTINY. Otherwise, it might be
recognized as a TECHNICALLY FORMAL DECLARATION OF DOMES-
TIC WAR. Furthermore, whenever any person or group of persons in a position of great power and WITHOUT FULL KNOWLEDGE and CONSENT OF THE PUBLIC, USES SUCH KNOWLEDGE and METHODOLOGY FOR ECONOMIC CONQUEST —it must be understood that A STATE OF DOMESTIC WARFARE EXISTS between said person or group of persons and the public.
When a silent weapon is applied gradually, the public adjusts/adapts
to its presence and learns to tolerate its encroachment on their lives until
the pressure (psychological via economic) becomes too great and they crack up.
The public might instinctively feel that something is wrong [ISN’T
THAT THE TRUTH?], but because of the technical nature of the silent
weapon, they cannot express their feeling in a rational way, or handle the
problem with intelligence. Therefore, they do not know how to cry for
help, and do not know how to associate with others to defend themselves
against it.
In this chapter you can see every step that the
elite have taken in their war to control this once great nation. You can see the steps that will be taken in the future. You can no longer pretend innocence.
Your denial of the conspiracy will fall on deaf ears.
( From : Behold A Pale Horse , William Cooper )
Plans go way farther back than this. Control of the world has been in motion and progress for centuries. This is nothing new. Grab some popcorn and relax.
This declaration of war on the people is bad enough but when put alongside other globalist policy papers the picture , and their thinking becomes much clearer.
The REPORT FROM IRON MOUNTAIN is one such think tank paper that suggests ‘ substitutes for war ‘ to control society. It said mega-projects like pyramid building in the past or huge expensive space programs to consume GDP and keep standards of living from rising ( A threat to power ).
A war footing and mobilization like WW l l could be had without the destruction if a global threat was presented. Aliens / UFO’s and Global Warming / Pollution were considered for potential. Now we can add pandemics and cyber attack to the mix.
Nice words…saying what many want to hear….a ‘man worth 650 million for and ‘in touch’ with the people’ …. and:
Nothing will change.
Remind you of someone?
It isn’t that they do not think we can handle the truth. Rather, they have to lie because they know what will happen to them if we ever learn the whole truth.
Poo will say whatever he needs to or is told to say depending on the trend or his audience and his latest revelation is: Vivek Ramaswamy corrects previous assertion that homosexuality is ‘hardwired’ from birth. (thanks to a/c) Poo will be in deep poo with the rainbow mafia over this as they all believe they were, you know.. Born that way. Also, notice Poo used the word “correct” not that his view “evolved” which is the standard for politicians. He’s really learning how to play the game.
Someone needs to tell him you can’t vote your way out of tyranny.
No we are not. The left engage in violence because they enjoy immunity from our government and have a sophisticated infrastructure.
Things are going to need to get a lot worse for the average person to organize and do something.
The Brits were immune too. Then they weren’t. Same bullshit different time. They used to arrest people here and try them in England. Look at this Trump stuff dragging him a thousand miles this way and two thousand miles that way. I doubt anyone at Lexington and Concord thought the day would end with shitloads of dead British troops in a running firefight that lasted for hours and miles, humiliating the Crown. Shit just happens. I recall the picture of citizens aiming at the HRT sniper teams at one of the Bundy standoffs. They didn’t know they were there and had they touched off a round at the protestors they would all have been killed in seconds. Dumb luck cannot be counted on forever.
This is classic cooling the mark, we all just need to remain calm about the ongoing mass murders and wait till 2024. RFK Jr is also admitting these bioweapons were a military project (I mean, duh, kind of in the name Operation Warp Speed).
The Regime has very fine tuned predictive algorithms and behavioral models, such as Palantir (Thanks Trump!). We feed them enough data every day that they can track the pulse of the nation quite well. If they’re openly willing to brook these kind of conversations in public, I can only imagine what their data actually says.
Gird thine loins.
“And I think that that’s really one of the questions at issue today as it was in 1776. Do we believe that the public can be trusted with the truth? Whatever the truth is, just give me the hard truth.”
The truth?
Getting rid of king george the 3rd & Cronies was an inside job. Either they asked for, or got caught stealing MORE than the “usual and customary” 10%.
Even brandon knows the fee schedule.
‘Upper mgmt.’ world-wide? SAME. As it EVER was.
One ‘logical’ ENDing. A question of timing.
Vote. Harder.
On the “cusp” of chaos? What a cockeyed optimist!
THEIR IS ONE WISH THAT WILL NEVER BE ACHIEVED HERE IN THE USA AND THAT IS I WISH PEOPLE WOULD STOP CALLING US A DEMOCRACY !!!! WE ARE A DANG CONTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC THERE IS NOWHERE IN OUR CONSTITUTION OR BILL OF RIGHT OR THE FEDERALIST PAPERS THAT HAS THE UNITED STATES AS A DEMOCRAY. A DEMOCRACY IS TWO WOLVES AND A SHEEP DISCUSSING WHAT TO HAVE FOR DINNER AS BENJAMIN FRANKLIN STATED. WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRAY. PERIOD.
No, what we have here IS two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s on the menu for dinner , our actual system of government ( a constitutional republic ) be damned.
I really do wish people would stop using the word “democracy”; makes me think they’re in on “it”.
they are in on it. You think these shit eating idiots we elect as leaders pop fully formed from the ground like dwarves?
While I’ve met some nominally personable ones, most dotheads are arrogant (I think to show their caste superiority to an inferior of a lesser standing) and dismissive towards others.
They are rude innkeepers and shop owners, let alone high level political office holders.
They comprised the majority of the “colored” middle strata of apartheid society in S. Africa. Decades before they became a visible presence in the U.S. they were called “the jews of Africa.”
I don’t like them. I don’t like this Ramalamaswami guy either.
Oops. Just noticed the anon moniker in my above post. PSBindy here.
How does someone transition from the Soros/WEF sphere to sounding like a rust belt MAGA guy in such a short time? I’m skeptical. I no longer take politicians running for office at their word when they tell me their positions. I want to see years of evidence that they truly hold these positions. I want to see evidence that they have fought (and won) battles promoting these principles. I see nothing in Vivek’s past to indicate he is who he portrays himself to be.
Ho, I think you know the answer to your question. Take the statements of any candidate for POTUS puppet , write down exact opposite of what they espouse on a piece of paper. THAT is what you will really get, plus some.
Yeah all bullshit this country is gone taken over already . I live by Purdue University most of the students are foreigners . I don’t even see kids from around here working at burger king . I have 200 indian students living here by me . Funny thing is they are having anchor babies to stay here lol. I hope they enjoy paying taxes and raising nigger kids lol.
1. Riiiiight. The American people of 2023 are, for the most part, totally unlike Americans of 1776. We are far inferior in intellect, courage, principles, and moral clarity. Also, the issues today are worlds apart from the issues back them. This guy doesn’t have a clue.
2. Guys named RAMASWAMY don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of getting elected POTUS. Fact. Now, if he changed his name to Ramadamadingdong, well ……
Who put the Bong in the Bong da Dong Da Dong? Who put the Ding in Da Ramalama Ding Dong?
I’ll take Swammy for $500, Alex.
Stucky ,that was a good one. How are you?
None of them have a snowball’s chance in hell of getting elected POTUS because whomever becomes the next puppet will have been Selected. Just saying.
Good point ,they we’re ( superior to us ) because they had to be . and they were the offspring of bold , hearty, risk takers . Ya didn’t come to the new world for free government healthcare and an EBT card in the 18th century .But I do suppose that would depend upon ones idea of what a superior man is .
It’s nice to hear intelligent opinions from a man who isn’t a politician and holds American values.
On another note, many who post as anonymous seem overtly critical and suspect in their observations and opinions. The Anon’s seemingly represent a Patriot Front style of psy-op on TBP… take off your mask, get an avatar and join the American dialogue!
Read somewhere that Vivek got scholarship form Soros family. Another Soros puppy.
Yeah that info floated some time ago. Let US not forget Trump associations with Soros. probably back when Trump was a registered democrat. My take, once a democrat always a democrat so just another example what is wrong with Mr. Trump. And growing up in Queens just makes him anther Yankee.
Extremely disappointed Mr. Trump is not going to bother with the first so called debate. Chances are TrumpCyrus will not participate in any GOPher primary debates.
If nothing else the audience would get some good laughs when Trump tells Nikki she bleeds from her ass. Funny guy that Donnie.
In another thread someone mentioned TrumpCyrus would “debate”. Nope. It was established several weeks ago he would not.
Too bad. TrumpCyrus could suggest Christie is a lard ass in which Christie could rebuke asking TrumpCyrus when the last time he looked at his own lard ass in a mirror. I’m serious freedom of speech could never be so prominent as a GOPher debate with the attendees throwing elephant turds all around.
Big disappointment as I may have entertained low level thoughts of watching just for the personal insults. Oh well.
Orange Man says no to first GOPher debate
Chris Christie is twice as big,err good as Trump.
Both are lard asses, one with alleged bone spurs, a draft dodger as far as I’m concerned but hey, a silver spoon and well connected within the corridors of power.
The other , the draft had ended earlier than his 18th birthday.
Both are blowhards. It’s how they grew up and where.
TY, Tex
Alex Jones right again and be adopted by even politicians
Mel Gibson: Google “Polygraph test of Ella Gareeva”
Trump, the top advisor on the proper restroom…Donald Trump says people should use whatever bathroom they feel appropriate
She? Anyway, the “T” in LGBT stands for transgender not to mention the abominations the other letters represent. Hum, how many so called Christians be casting that vote for LGBT supporting Donald Trump?
Astonishing to me with the SOF movie and concerns among parents (Christians) about abominations being displayed before their children’s very eyes anyone could support anyone that supports this stuff. And I guess it’s time to contact the actor in SOF as he referred to Trump like Trump is going to rid the world of the sex traffic of children. He should be asked his thoughts on the Trump’s entertaining Log Cabin Republicans and a LGBT Gala at Mar-a-Lago.
While Ramaswamy is Hindu and possibly a plant for BRICS since India is in on that, just like Biden is a plant for China and Trump a plant for Big Pharma ( not unlike former Texas governor Rick Perry) and WEF. Oh, WTH, they are all plants for WEF!
LGBTQ is a gateway to child molestation and sex trafficking.
