PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.
There is something fascinating about Bobby Kennedy’s dark horse candidacy for the presidency. He started off without any big donors, no campaign organization, no endorsements, and without the normal plethora of campaign advisors crafting politicized policy statements. He just threw his hat in the ring because he was tired and upset at the way our government restricted American liberty during the pandemic and forced an unsafe vaccine on everyone. He’s also been deeply upset privately that the government killed his uncle, president John F. Kennedy and his father, Robert F. Kennedy (who was also running for president). As the founder of Children’s Health Defense, since the pandemic he has become the number one vocal enemy of Big Pharma vaccines and their conspiratorial links to Big Government at the FDA and CDC, and has thus earned the wrath of the establishment. Taking a stand that even hints of a conspiracy would have been fatal to any normal candidate, but Bobby is a Democrat and not just any Democrat, he’s a Kennedy, the last person who could be accused with the typical “right-wing” attack jobs by the Media and Left. Perhaps because of his name alone, and despite the Democratic Party’s secret vow to downplay and marginalize his candidacy, several media outlets can’t help but interview Kennedy about his unorthodox views, and they have been surprisingly popular. This week, I’ll cover what we now know about him, his policy views and what we might expect if he were to become president.
Not since Donald Trump has there been a presidential candidate who threatened to challenge the establishment Deep State. Only this time, unlike Donald Trump who had no real experience working against the Deep State, the threat comes from the Democrat side with someone with deep experience in actually fighting against (a portion of) Big Government and its conspiratorial collusion with Big Pharma.
Whereas Donald Trump was easily manipulated by his lack of conservative background, his susceptibility to flattery and his failure to detect the infiltration of Deep State advisors and compromised operatives within his administration, Bobby Kennedy Jr, is an environmental lawyer with years of experience fighting the government and big corporations in court, who is deeply schooled in both the law and argumentation necessary to debate a lot of issues verbally and in print.
