Hundreds of thousands of people are outraged by what she did to RFKJr and yet, Krystal Ball has not apologized to her audience. Why? She simply can't because well, that's a classic trait of a true narcissist. Thank you, Dr. Crispin Miller - in reality, this is psychopathic behavior in that it involved families being destroyed, children being forced to stay home with their abusers, while missing their only hot meal of the day, and a drop of 20 to 22 points in IQ. Teen suicide is off the scale and yet, this woman went into the RFKJr interview with ZERO preparation. She could have listened and learned from one of the greatest authorities on vaccines on the planet, but instead, she chose to demean him in the nastiest manner possible. Hopefully, we'll see a lot less of her.

Marianne Williamson lost both her campaign manager and communications director in one day. Interesting. Perhaps, KB can apply for that job.

I cannot get enough of this story. I've listened to Jimmy Dore, Kim Iversen, Nick Cruise (lefty podcaster) and Glenn Greenwald, all of whom have had invaluable insights on Ball and on what transpired here. I've also listened to Ball's husband, Kyle Kulinski, analyze the video from his own incredibly uninformed and equally interest-conflicted vantage point.

Of special note was Greenwald's analysis, in which he looked at what Krystal called her "red line." The "anti-vax advocacy," or "whatever you want to call it," was, she said, her red line as a voter.

But, when pushed on the issue, she could only cite superficial mainstream talking points. She really had no knowledge, had obviously not researched this thoroughly, had merely "watched some of RFK's videos," and was "unconvinced."

How can a person have a clear red line on an issue that they really haven't looked into? Isn't that an incredibly bold and shocking statement? It's almost like saying, "Protecting Malta is my absolute Red Line," and then someone asking, "Where is Malta?" and then not actually knowing.

It reveals the utter and absolute depths of her brainwashing. But, as Greenwald points out, we are all susceptible to this propaganda (some more than others, of course, and perhaps readers of this substack are more well-armored against it than most). But Ball's Red Line came from decades of being propagandized by doctors at her children's well visits, from pharma-funded media, from schools that have normalized vaccine mandates since the 80s, a whole host of influences of which she is completely unaware.

Come to think of it, I see myself in her because before the covid crisis, I might have said exactly the same thing. I too mistrusted "anti-vaxxers," and so on.

It's downright fascinating to see this play out. People are responding so strongly to it because we recognize what is at work here. But I think we all maybe see a bit of ourselves in her, and horror at all our own moments of ignorance or quickness to assume positions unthinkingly. We see our own vulnerability, also, in the face of all of society's unrelentingly aggressive tools of persuasion and power.

Also worth noting is that her show lost 4,000 subscribers in two days, which is remarkable. I think this video clip is actually an amazingly important historical document.

Wait, you're saying that the press might be motivated by something other than honestly informing the citizenry?

Breaking Points is a limited hangout channel that just serves as controlled opposition. They were exposed as an alternative mouthpiece for the establishment like so many were by COVID 1984.

I had never heard of Kystal Ball but got algo-ed the RFKJr interview video. I watched somewhere near 1/4 of it. RFK Jr was overly polite to her while she dominated by asking questions, the answers to which she wouldn't allow him to offer. She is a deluded fool who is more likely to die of a vaccine injury than accept the empirical truth regarding the safety and efficacy of vaccines.

I can’t even believe Krystal Ball is this person’s real name

Jimmy Dore pointed out that RFK's “vaccine skepticism” is a “Red-Line” for Krystal Ball, yet Marianne Williamson's own skepticism is not. Back in 2019, Williamson tweeted: “As president, I would order the CDC to establish an independent commission to review/reform vaccine safety. Calling people who express any concern or questions about bundling, number of vaccines, neuro-toxins and so forth “anti-vaxx” is both incorrect and unfair ... concerned parents should not be demonized nor their concerns minimized. The call for certitude that vaccines are safe and responsible is not “anti-science” but rather “pro-science,” as it is a call for independent scientific research to review and establish vaccine safety.” [Nick Cruse @ Youtube Revolutionary Blackout Network Krystal Ball's Meltdown 5/17/23 48:50]. Sounds like Williamson 2019 was channeling RFK 2023!

But, upon facing press criticism, Williamson quickly walked back her remarks: “Health care experts say Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson‘s views on vaccines … could hurt public health efforts … has faced criticism for her skepticism of vaccines … She apologized for those comments in a statement on Twitter the next day and has since said she “supports vaccines.” … the higher profile the primary is giving to her unscientific views could do real harm … She has a long history of questioning vaccination (a view she shares with President Donald Trump.)” [Time Magazine, 8/06/19]

Krystal Ball is a repulsive human being. Years ago, when she and Saagar began their “Breaking Points” I briefly subscribed… hoping, hoping…But it was not to be. She quickly disappointed me deeply with her views on the “vaccines” and was such a Blue Anon, that she vaxxed her own children. That’s when I knew she was beyond hope. I couldn’t take listening to her whining and whinging any further and unsubscribed within a a couple months of subscribing. Lesson learned. She’s not to be trusted. Plus, that voice…. Yikes.

I think the one very obvious factor being overlooked is how RFK handled it with usual aplomb and dignity while she on the other hand came off as a pompous imbecile! Once again ALL OF THIS solidifies to his credibility and integrity!!! Just imagine Trump in a similar situation and who you want as your next President! BTW talk about conflict of interest Trump received over ONE MILLION dollars from the pharmaceutical industry for his inauguration! IF . . . . anyone actually believes he will EVER bite the hand that feeds him!!

I can’t and won’t debate you I just know I am right. Wow that wouldn’t fly even if you were a child.

Krystal may as well work for MSNBC. Even more disappointing was Sager's thunderous silence. I'll never watch them again.

I'm grateful for folks like you MCM, taking the time to share this peek behind the curtain. We have no idea how much of this is happening, not to mention much worse motivations. Thank you!
