SELLERS: Many Strange Parallels Between Vax Protests and Cuban Missile Crisis

'The hill that you’re going to die on is the hill you’re on right now—and they’re coming for our children...'

(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) While I love a good conspiracy theory—including the one about the origin of the term “conspiracy theory”—I’ve always been a bit suspicious of Q’Anon.

The media reporting about this fringe online movement seemed awfully convenient as a vehicle for pushing baseless claims about valid conservative points related to the election theft of 2020 and other deep-state-driven affronts.

Thus, when Rolling Stone (a magazine notorious for fabricating facts) claimed that a Q’Anon splinter group was declaring that JFK Jr. would soon emerge—23 years after his fatal plane crash—to run on the Trump 2024 ticket, I was a bit wary, to say the least.

But recent developments have pitted at least two other Camelot-era progeny on opposite sides of what could be the defining conflict of our own time.

Much as a 13-day standoff in October 1962 brought us closer than many realized to the brink of extinction, the Trump administration’s “15 days to slow the spread” has cascaded at the hands of authoritarian leftists into an existential nightmare.

Even if one does not subscribe to the belief that conspiracies are afoot in the push for mass vaccinations, it is hard not to take notice of this particular set of coincidences. So, away we go into the rabbit hole.

To begin with, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has become one of the most prominent vaccine critics.

His father—who played the role of JFK’s brother, attorney general, confidante and all-around wing-man—had an outsized involvement in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The younger RFK has urged vaccine resisters to hold the line amid a global push to impose unprecedented mandates. “The hill that you’re going to die on is the hill you’re on right now,” he said during a January rally at the Lincoln Monument, “and they’re coming for our children.”

That grim warning echoes historian Arthur Schlesinger’s famous retrospection in a foreword to RFK Sr.’s account of the Cuba crisis, in which he called it the “most dangerous moment in human history.”

On the flip side of the vaccine debate is tyrannical Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has called vaccine resisters a “small fringe minority” with “unacceptable” views and has likened the grassroots Freedom Convoy to Nazis.

Meanwhile, some prominent conservatives—including Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Canadian academic Jordan Peterson—have presented compelling evidence that Trudeau may be the bastard son of the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro—not just idealogically, but literally.

Indeed, the rumor has gained so much traction that the far-left New York Times deemed it necessary to push out a “fact check” on Saturday in an effort to debunk it.

Fittingly, the current standoff in Canada, like the one in Cuba, has resulted in an embargo of sorts—with patriotic, freedom-loving truckers shutting down commerce in Ottawa, as well as Detroit. The movement also has spread to Australia and France, among other places.

Yet, just as the forces of democracy once feared a “domino effect” of communism seeping into Western spheres of influence, the forces of Marxist oppression are now frantically trying to contain the opposition movement from going viral.

Regardless of his blood lineage, Trudeau’s deep financial ties to China through family investments (like those of US President Joe Biden and many other US Democrats) are well established.

“There are a lot of things that remain unclear about the Trudeau government’s approach to China, except that the ‘relationship,’ as it is called, requires submitting to abuse, hostage diplomacy, duplicity and humiliation at the feet of Xi Jinping,” noted Canada’s National Post.

Perhaps that also includes running political interference.

Amid the mass distraction from our neighbor to the north over its trucker protests, and tensions from China-allied Russia about a border dispute in Ukraine, Chairman Xi has quietly expanded his country’s influence into the Western Hemisphere—and to Cuba in particular.

But there is at least one more bizarre link that directly connects the anti-Kennedy alliance to the pro-vax movement.

Otherwise irrelevant Canadian folk-rocker Neil Young inserted himself into the debate by demanding that vaccine skeptic Joe Rogan be canceled from his popular Spotify show.

Incidentally, Young (whose greatest 100 songs was the subject of a Rolling Stone debate in December) has been married for three years to actress Daryl Hannah, the spurned ex-lover of John F. Kennedy Jr.

How the Splash star found herself at the center of a secretive cabal hoping to use vaccines to impose a new world order that will finally succeed in achieving Khrushchev’s promise to “take America without firing a shot”—that’s an inquiry best left for another day.

But if nothing else, it may help explain why costar Tom Hanks was the first high-profile COVID infection.

And why China-chummy Disney is using the 1984 film to test out its latest censorship technology.
