“A government that can censor its critics has license for every atrocity. It is the beginning of totalitarianism. There’s never been a time in history when we look back and the guys who were censoring people were the good guys. All of us grew up reading Arthur Kessler and others and they were all saying the same thing. Once you start censoring, you’re on your way to dystopia and totalitarianism.” – RFKJ

“President Biden is the first candidate in history, the first president in history, that has used the federal agencies to censor political speech, or to censor his opponent. You know, I can say that because I just won a case, a federal court of appeals, now before the Supreme Court. It shows that he started censoring, not just me, 37 hours after he took the oath of office. He was censoring me. No president in the country has ever done that. The greatest threat to democracy is not somebody who questions election returns, but a president of the United States, to use the power of his office, to force the social media companies: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, to open a portal and give access to that portal to the FBI, to the CIA, to the IRS, the CISA, to NIH, to censor his political critics. President Biden for the first, the first president in history, to use the secrets… his power over the Secret Service to deny Secret Service protection to one of his political opponents, for a political reason. He’s weaponizing a federal agency. Those are really critical threats for democracy!”

QUOTES by RFK Jr.

	United, we stand! Divided, we fall.
On Winning presidency ✔✔✔	“I intend to be successful, I don’t have a plan B.” – RFK Jr. (2023,may 2) “We’re going to do a mass experiment- and see what happens when you tell people the truth. My job is to tell people the truth, and if Americans have an appetite for that, than I will be president. “ – RFK Jr. (2023)    Spoiler candidate –  “My intention is to spoil it for both of them.”  link   “I felt like my country was being taken away from me. I felt like I wanted my children to grow up with the same pride in our country, and the same love for our country, and the same idea that we had this you know this idealism, these opportunities in our country, and we had you know communities that were filled with dignity and enrichment and we were an exemplary Nation. And that those things are being lost and they’re being lost because, for a lot of reasons, really because the rise of corporatism in this country and this addiction that we have to war, and um and my party also is becoming the party of War, the party of censorship, the party of fear, and the party of the neocons and Wall Street. And I just felt like I was in a unique opportunity to change that.” (2023) link   “We can have a president that represents a party, or we can have a president that represents a nation” – RFK Jr
On ISSUES	“My important issues for me are, free market capitalism, strong Environmental Protection, strong Liberties, human rights, civil rights, bodily autonomy, and… skepticism toward big business, … the corporate control of our country, and a hostility toward corruption.”  link
	●◆●◆●◆●◆●◆●◆●◆●◆●●◆●◆●◆●◆●◆●◆●◆●◆●●◆●◆●◆●◆●◆●◆●◆●◆●
On ABORTION	In 2005 he described himself as “pro-life,” and while he still believes in that for himself, he also is “pro-choice”, and believes in a woman’s right to choose. He states… “I don’t think the government has any business telling people what they can and cannot do with their body. I’m not going to be in a position, allow myself into a position where I’m going to be telling a woman to bring a child to term that she doesn’t want. I don’t think it’s a good solution. I think every abortion is a tragedy. And, you know, as I said, I came from a family that was very, very divided on this issue. I’ve seen pictures of third term abortions and I’m appalled by them. But.. and will do everything I can to end those in other ways. But I don’t think the government… I think the worst illusion is that the government is involved in decisions that should be belong to a woman.“ (2023, jun 23) “I don’t think there’s anybody in this country who’s worked harder for medical freedom, for bodily autonomy, than me.”  link
On ACTION & Participation	“Every night at the dinner table we would have a family discussion, and we had to choose up sides. We had to participate. I look at my life in the way now, that it is important to participate, that it is important to take the side of right. It is partly out of sense of duty, but never out of sense of drudgery. I find it all very exciting.” – RFK Jr. (1995)   “If I thought I could accomplish more in the political process, I would… I love politics. I always have a relative running, and I work in every campaign.” – RFK Jr. (1995)
On ACTIVISM	“I look at my life in the way now, that it is important to participate, that it is important to take the side of right. It is partly out of sense of duty, but never out of sense of drudgery. I find it all very exciting.”   RFK Jr (1995)
On ADDICTION	“almost every American has been exposed, mostly within their own families, to mental illness, depression, drug addiction, alcoholism.” link    “Let’s just say, I had a tumultuous adolescence that lasted until I was 29, and then I grew up very quickly”   link   “Addiction… it’s a response to internal pain. It’s also a response to atomization, to loneliness… a disconnection to disaffection and we’re see that’s now an epidemic in this country. Where so many of us feel that we are no longer connected to a community. We’ve lost 100,000 kids last year to overdoses. (cited CDC 2023, may 18 report) That’s double the number of kids that we lost in the 20 year Vietnam war. But we’re really in a crisis now. One of my moonshot programs, will to be to launch a string of healing centers around this country, particularly in rural areas, where people will go there and do regenerative farming, regenerative agriculture, grow good food, healthy food, and learn to live in communities again without screens, without cell phones.” RFK jr (2024) link
On the Assassination of President JFK, and his father RFK	“I think the evidence that the CIA murdered my uncle is overwhelming, I would say, beyond a reasonable doubt,” he said. “As an attorney, I would be very comfortable arguing that case to a jury. I think that the evidence that the CIA murdered my father is circumstantial but very, very, very persuasive. Or very compelling. Let me put it that way—very compelling. And of course the CIA participation in the cover-up of both those murders is also beyond a reasonable doubt. It’s very well documented.” link
On CAPITALISM	“We don’t have free market capitalism in this country. What we have is socialism for the super rich, and brutal capitalism for the poor.”  link   “We don’t have free market capitalism in this country. We have corporate crony capitalism. We have system of cushy socialism for the super rich. This brutal, savage merciless capitalism for the poor. And its all designed to strip mine the middle class of this country, of all their equity, of all their assets and move it to the upper echelons”.  link  @1:30
On CENSORSHIP and 1st  AMENDMENT (free speech)	“There has never been a time where the ones who were censoring free speech were the good guys.” – RFK Jr. (2023)  link  JRG   “When companies like Facebook, Google, or The Washington Post collude with the government to censor online news, they violate the First Amendment; when they collude with each other, they violate the Sherman Act.” – RFK Jr  CSPAN (2023) “We will also clean up government and earn back the people’s trust. We will end the secrecy, the censorship, and the surveillance. We will again be a fearless land of liberty.” – Robert F Kennedy Jr.   “The free flow of information is the sunlight and water and fertilizer for democracy.” – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.   “Congenial, respectful debate is the fertilizer. It’s the water, it’s the sunlight for our democracy”.  link   Freedom of speech – “It sets us apart from all of the previous forms of government. We need to be able to talk and, the first amendment was not written for easy speech. It was written for the speech that nobody likes you for.  I was censored not just by the democratic administration, I was censored by the Trump administration. I was the first person censored by the, as the chairman pointed out by the Biden administration. Two days after he came into office. You ordered a truthful — and by the way, they had to invent a new word called malformation to do to censor people like me. If there was no misinformation on my instagram account, everything I put on that account was cited and sourced. The peer-reviewed publications or government databases, nobody ever has ever pointed to a single piece of misinformation that I publish. I was removed for something they called malformation. Malformation is information that is true, but it is inconvenient to the government that they don’t want people to hear. And it’s antithetical to the values of our country. After I announced my presidency, it became more difficult for people to censor me outright. So now I’m subject to this new form of censorship which is called ‘targeted propaganda’ where people apply pejoratives like anti-vax. I’ve never been anti-vaccine. But everybody in this room probably believes that I have been because that’s the prevailing narrative.”  link   “We need to be able to talk, and the First Amendment was not written for easy speech. It was written for the speech nobody likes you for,” – RFK Jr. link
On CONSPIRACY	“All my conspiracy theories have a 3 month shelf life before becoming reality.” RFK Jr   link “Conspiracies do happen,” he said. “It’s not that everybody is involved in promoting what they know to be a lie. It is that there are orthodoxies that become institutionalized that have their own gravity that pull people in.” – RFK Jr  link
On CORRUPTION	“Like the founding fathers declared their independence from the crown more than two centuries ago, today we declare our independence from the corrupting influence of wall street and corporate donors that have rigged our economy for the few at the expense of the many.” – RFK Jr     “My mission over the next 18 months of this campaign, and throughout my Presidency, will be to end the corrupt merger of state and corporate power that is threatening now to impose a new kind of corporate feudalism on our country…to poison our children and our people with chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs, to strip mine our assets, to hollow out the middle class, and keep us in a constant state of war.” @40:50 – 41:41 (2023, apr 19)   The CDC, WHO, FDA, NIH = “captive agencies” – Robert F Kennedy Jr. (2023, apr 27)   “I used to watch these figures with admiration. I also watched how the industry, supposedly being regulated, used it’s indentured servants on Capitol Hill and its financial clout to substantially hollow out these agencies beginning in the 1980s, disabling their regulatory function, while transforming them into sock puppets for the very industry Congress charged them with regulating.” (2022, sep 29)   “Agency capture is pervasive” – RFK Jr. 2020   “We need a president, at this time in history, who can stand up to his bureaucracy.” — Robert F. Kennedy, Jr  jun 22 2023   “I would say I have a PHD in how to unravel agency capture because I’ve been suing these agencies for so many years. I’ve been involved in litigation many many cases with EPA, which is captured by oil, by coal; HHS and the pharmaceutical industry which owns NIH, CDC, and FDA; I’ve litigated against the Department Of Agriculture because it’s captured by Smithfield, Tyson, and Monsanto. And all of those agencies, the umbilical cords to industry have to be broken. They’re basically functioning as wholly-owned subsidiaries for the industries they’re supposed to regulate. Most politicians get in there hoping to drain the swamp. I’m not intimidated by the agencies. I know how they work and I know how to change them. Most of those changes you do not need congress for. With a stroke of the pen you can change back the rule that allows pharmaceutical advertisers to direct to consumer ads on television. Another thing that I can do is I can open up all the databases. CDC keeps it in a lock box like Fort Knox and makes sure no scientists allowed in there. Well, I’ll open up that database on day one. I have a hundred things that I am going to do immediately to unravel the agency capture in these agencies. I will end that overnight!”  – RFK Jr. (2023, jul 6). Corporations Captured. ✔   “The last thing standing between a child and an industry full of corruption is a MOM” – RFK Jr. (2020) “A democratic government is supposed to be of, by, and for the people. But government institutions have betrayed our trust. The intelligence agencies spy on our own people. Government and tech platforms conspire to surveil and censor the public. Regulatory agencies have been captured by those they are supposed to regulate: Wall Street controls the SEC. Polluters and extractive industries dominate the EPA and BLM. Pharma controls the CDC, NIH, and FDA. Big Ag controls the USDA. Big Tech has captured the FTC. No wonder trust in government is at all-time lows. It’s time to earn it back.”  link   “We are going to remake public institutions to serve the public. We will roll back the secrecy and make government transparent. We will protect whistleblowers and prosecute officials who abuse the public trust. We will rein in the lobbyists and slam shut the revolving door that shunts people from government agencies to lucrative positions in the companies they were supposed to regulate, and back again. We will get money out of politics. We will open our institutions to real citizen involvement. We will restore integrity to government….”  link
On DEBT SERVICE / National Debt	“$34 trillion dollars: that’s the staggering deficit our kids now have to pay back because of the national debt exacerbated by our last two presidents. You can fake a strong economy by flooding it with cash, but somebody has to pay for our joyride. In this case, that “somebody” is our children.” – RFKJ 2024
On DEMOCRACY, POLICY, Government	“The way you get democracy to function is by informing the public.” – Robert Kennedy Jr.   “They aggravate the problem, then sell us the solution” – RFK Jr.   “In 1963 about 80% of people trusted their government, today its 22% trust their government and 22% trust the press. The lowest ever!”   – RFK Jr. (2023, apr 19) “America cannot be an empire abroad and continue to be a democracy at home.” – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.   “Democracy is messy, and it’s hard. It’s never easy” — Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.   “No, I don’t trust authority; I need to see the details” – Robert F Kennedy Jr.  (2023, apr 27) “My father told me when I was a little boy that people in authority lie and the job in a democracy is to remain skeptical. I’ve been science-based since I was a kid. Show me the evidence and I’ll believe you, but I’m not going to take the word of official narratives,” – Robert F Kennedy Jr. 2023  link   “I’m a Kennedy Democrat. I believe in labor unions. I believe in a strong, robust middle class. I believe in racial justice, in policies that are going to actually help the lowest people on the totem pole.”  link
On ECONOMICS	“The economy is the source of strength, not bullets and weapons.” RFK Jr. (2023)    “In a true free market economy, you can’t make yourself rich without enriching your community.” — Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.   “In 100% of the situations, good environmental policy is identical to good economic policy,”   “We can’t have sensible economic policy without the foundation of a good environment policy…. If we want sound policy in housing or health care or civil rights or education, then we must have sound environmental policy, because environmental policy is simply about community planning, making sure we use resources judiciously.” link
On ELECTIONS,   BALLOT ACCESS,  & DEBATES	Ballot access laws for independent and third-party candidates “among the worst forms of voter suppression in America today” and said that state officials should work together to “streamline and standardize ballot access procedures.”    Ballot access restrictions “artificially prop up the two-party duopoly, even as 63% of American adults agree that the Republican and Democratic parties do such a poor job of representing the American people that another choice is needed,”     “In a democracy, the people are supposed to decide with their votes who gets into office. Not state officials who prevent popular candidates from getting on the ballot,”   link   link   “Well I think it’s troubling if we don’t have debates. Particularly Lindsay, at this point in history, there’s so many Americans who believe that our democracy is broken, that the system is rigged against them, and I think it’s really incumbent on the Democratic party to act as a template, to make this election a template but for democracy and saying we’re going to have debates, we’re going to have open discussion, we’re going to let the people decide, we’re not going to have party leaders decide who are going to be our primary like they did in the Soviet Union.” (2023, apr 27)
On  ENVIRONMENT corruption towards it by MEDIA & GOV	“My environmental policy as President will put people and places FIRST.”   link “A democratic government is supposed to be of, by, and for the people. But government institutions have betrayed our trust. The intelligence agencies spy on our own people. Government and tech platforms conspire to surveil and censor the public. Regulatory agencies have been captured by those they are supposed to regulate: Wall Street controls the SEC. Polluters and extractive industries dominate the EPA and BLM. Pharma controls the CDC, NIH, and FDA. Big Ag controls the USDA. Big Tech has captured the FTC. No wonder trust in government is at all-time lows. It’s time to earn it back.”- RFK Jr (2023).  link “Powerful politicians like Senators Mitch McConnell and Jim Inhofe, who receive massive contributions from the oil and coal industries. Most of these men are too intelligent to truly believe that climate change is not a growing crisis. And yet they have put their profits and careers ahead of the health and welfare of the world’s population—and even their own children and grandchildren. How do they explain themselves to their offspring, to the next generations that must deal with the environmental havoc that these men have wreaked?” – R.F.K Jr., Russell, D. (2020). Climate in Crisis. Book “Environmental stories often challenge a network’s ideology or corporate self-interest. Many major media outlets are controlled by companies that have a vested interest in keeping environmental disasters under wraps: NBC is owned by General Electric, the world’s biggest polluter, with a world record 86 Superfund sites. Until three years ago, CBS was owned by Westinghouse, which has 39 Superfund sites. Westinghouse is also the world’s largest owner of nuclear power plants and the third-largest manufacturer of nuclear weapons. Ronald Reagan abolished the Fairness Doctrine as a favor to…”  RFK Jr (2013) link “The environment is the infrastructure of our communities. As a nation, as a civilization, it’s our obligation to create communities for our children that provide them with opportunities for dignity and good health. When we destroy nature, we diminish ourselves and impoverish our children. We ignore that at our own peril.” link ‘We’re not anti-growth; we’re for a clean environment.’  RFK Jr. (1995)   “If we treat the planet as if it were a business in liquidation, convert all of our natural resources to cash to have a few more years of prosperity, we can generate an instantaneous cash flow and the illusion of a prosperous economy; but our children are going to pay for our joyride.”  (1996, may 26)   “We not protecting nature for nature’s sake, but because we believe our lives are going to be richer, and our communities are going to be richer, and our children’s lives are going to be richer. And where our children can go to the banks and see the fisherman doing what they’ve been doing for generations, and understand that they are part of something that’s larger than themselves, they’re part of a continuum. I don’t want my children growing up in a world where we’ve lost touch with the seasons and the tides, and the things that connect us to ten thousand generations of human beings that were here before laptops, and that connects us ultimately to God. And for me, therefore, destroying these things is the moral equivalent of tearing the last pages out of the last Bible, or Toran, or Talmud, or Quran on earth. What we are doing here is recognizing we have debt to our children, and a debt to the people in our society who don’t speak loudly, and that is a recognition that we live in a community. And being part of a community is painful because you can’t just make decisions based upon your own self interests, you have to account for the costs and impacts of those decisions on other people. And that’s really what environmentalism is about. It’s about recognizing that debt to others.” – RFK Jr (excerpt from the Waterkeepers 2000) “We have to stop allowing people to make the argument that an investment in the environment is a diminishment of our nation’s wealth. It doesn’t diminish our wealth; it’s an investment in our nation’s infrastructure, the same as investing in telecommunications or roads. . . . Good environmental policy 100 percent of the time is identical to good economic policy.” (1996, may 26) “First, we will shift agricultural subsidies so as to encourage regenerative practices. Today, a new generation of farmers and ranchers is building soil, replenishing groundwater, and detoxifying land, all while producing just as much food as conventional farmers and earning a decent livelihood. Secondly, we will incentivize the transition of industry to zero-waste cycles and clean energy sources, and forge agreements with other countries to implement these policies throughout the global supply chain. These first two policies will vastly reduce the toxic waste, industrial poisons, and pesticides that make people and ecosystems sick.   Finally, we will protect wild lands from further development, by curbing mining, logging, oil drilling, and suburban sprawl. We will become a global advocate for rainforest preservation and marine restoration. We will rethink development policies that promised economic growth while ignoring ecological sustainability, and ended up delivering neither”(2023)  link   “Get involved in the political process… The only thing that can save our environment is democracy.” – RFK Jr   (2012)  link   “Nature is the infrastructure of our communities, the ultimate source of our values and virtues as a people.” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (2003, 2014)   “What we do as environmentalists is we elbow our way into the courts, or onto the editorial pages or into the back hallways of Capitol Hill — where the mining companies, the oil companies, the cigarette companies, the big ranchers and the Cattleman’s Association are all cutting up the pie that belongs to us — and we say, ‘We are emissaries for the future, and we demand an accounting. We want to know what you’re doing with those things that don’t belong to you, that belong to the future.” (1996, may 26)   “God talks to human beings through many vectors: wise people, organized religion, the Great Books of religions, through art, music and poetry. But nowhere with such detail, and grace and joy, as through creation. When we destroy nature, we diminish our capacity to sense the divine”  link   “The environment is the infrastructure of our communities. As a nation, as a civilization, it’s our obligation to create communities for our children that provide them with opportunities for dignity and good health. When we destroy nature, we diminish ourselves and impoverish our children. We ignore that at our own peril.” — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (2007)   “We preserve nature “not for nature’s sake, but because it enriches us. It enriches us economically; it enriches us spiritually; it enriches us culturally. And if we destroy [nature], we will be diminished and our children will be impoverished. We are not preserving those northern forests, as Rush Limbaugh would argue, for the sake of a spotted owl. We are preserving those forests because we believe they have more value to humanity standing than they would have if we cut them down.” (1996, may 26)
On FACTS, MORALS,  INTEGRITY, and discussions of facts	“My first day in office, I’m going to issue an executive order saying that if you’re a federal employee, and you lie to the public, you lose your job! And I’m going to stop the federal government from lying to us.” – RFK Jr (2024) “Show me where I got it wrong, let’s talk about it”. – Robert F Kennedy Jr. (2023, mar 3)   “I’ve litigated over 500 lawsuits. In every one of those lawsuits, there are experts authorities on one side, and experts and authorities on the other, that are saying the exact opposite thing. So no, I don’t trust authority. I need to see the details. I need to see the science.”  RFK Jr (2023, apr 27).   “Well, I don’t think I’m governed by passion… I think I’m governed by evidence.” link   “Number 1: You can change my mind if you confront me with facts. Number 2: If you don’t change my mind with facts, I’m going to stick to my guns, and nobody can boot me.” (2023, apr 27).   “I welcome what I’ve done and am at peace with the choices I have made. I understand, I’m living in a world where I’m opposing large forces that are very very powerful, and are able to silence me.” – Robert F Kennedy Jr. (2023, apr 27)   “If we don’t talk to them, how will we persuade them? I will talk to anyone.” – Robert F Kennedy Jr. (2023, apr 27)   “I talk to them but I do not compromise my values. I believe in all the democratic values I was raised with, but I believe that we should talk to people from all sides”  – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (2023, apr 27)
On FREEDOM	“No government in the history of mankind has ever relinquished power voluntarily. The power that they have taken away from us over the past 20 months they will never give back. They have taken away our freedom of speech, they have closed the churches, they have taken away jury trials against companies, no matter how negligent they, no matter how reckless they are, no matter how grievous your injury, you cannot sue that company.   They have taken away our property rights in the United States. They closed a million businesses for a year with no just compensation and no due process. They have taken away our right to be free of warrantless searches and seizures and surveillance by the government. In the United States all of those rights are enumerated in our Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution. And among the most important of those rights, after the right to free expression, which is gone, is the right to be able to participate in rule-making. ” link
On GUNS and the 2nd Amendment                 On ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN           On MASS SHOOTINGS	“I do not believe that there is, within that second amendment, that there’s anything we can meaningfully do to reduce the trade in the ownership of guns,” he said, “and I’m not going to take people’s guns away.”  link  link   “I am not going to take people’s guns away, and I believe in gun control myself,” he said. link    “If we can get a consensus on it, if Republicans and Democrats agree to it and it passes Congress, I would sign it,” link ——- Kennedy says he is not a gun owner himself, but he is not for “taking people’s guns away,” and he would include in that category semi-automatic weapons like AR-15s that have often been used in mass shootings in the US. He said, however, if he were to become president and the US Senate and the House both had passed measures banning AR-15s, he would go along with that decision.   But in discussing America’s “gun culture” and the view by some that “their AR-15s are protecting them from government overreach” — he said it was a position he felt some sympathy with, given what he considered to be the massive US government overreach during the Covid pandemic.(2023) “Prior to the introduction of Prozac, we had almost none of these events in our country,” RFK Jr on mass shootings. link
On NUCLEAR ENERGY	“I’m all for nuclear if they can make it safe, and if they can make it economical, and right now it is neither. It is the most catastrophically expensive form of boiling a pot of water that has ever been devised. It can’t compete in a free market. I believe in free market capitalism. The lowest cost producers ought to be able to dominate the marketplace. And right now that is not nuke. There is no way that nuke can compete in the marketplace if it had to internalize its costs. The only way it survives is through huge vast federal subsidies that amount to at least half a trillion dollars a year. One of those subsidies, of course, is that you and I, the federal taxpayer, have to dispose of their waste – we have to store this highly toxic radioactive substance for 30,000 years, which is five times the length of recorded human history. There is no way that it can make economic sense.” … “If you ask somebody from the nuclear industry, “Are you safe? Is it a safe industry?”, they’ll say to you, “Oh yeah. It’s very safe. We haven’t had a major accident since Three Mile Island. The way we do it in this country, Chernobyl could never happen.” Well, my answer to that is, if it’s safe, why can’t you get insurance like everybody else? Why can you not pay for your own insurance? Why did you have to go to Washington and get the Price-Anderson Act passed, which shifts the risks of your activities to the American public. So those of you with homes, go look at your home-owner’s policy tonight, and you will find a provision in it that is in every home-owner’s policy in America that says that this policy does not insure you against a radiation leak from a civilian nuclear power plant – so you are bearing the risk of that nuclear power plant having an accident.”  (2009, may 3).
On PHARMA	“the FDA is banning anything that competes with the pharmaceutical companies”  link   “We cannot have anymore school shootings. One of the things, even if that means protecting the schools the same way we protect airlines. We don’t have shootings on airlines anymore, if we have to do that, we have to protect our children. And the other thing we have to look at is the other reasons this may be happening in our country. I’ve gotten ridiculed for saying the we need to look at issue of the SSRI’s. But it’s one of the issues we need to look at. We need to look at video games, we need to look at the ways social media is affecting people’s behavior, and do the scientific studies required for that. There has never been a time in human history, when strangers would walk into a room of children and begin shooting people. What happened? We had guns when I was a kid, I went to school were we had gun clubs in the school, and kids would come in with their rifles to school. And nobody was, nobody would even imagine someone would go in that school and start shooting children. There’s other countries that have almost as many guns a we do, like Switzerland, that don’t have school shootings. So what is going on here? That last school shooting in Switzerland was 21 years ago. We have school shootings every 21 hours. One of the things we need to look at are SSRI’s. There is one study shows that at least 23% of school shootings have that the shooter was at the time, or prior, or before was on SSRI. So , If you look at the label, the manufacturing, the insert for these drugs they say on them homicidal and suicidal ideation and action. So its not insane to say we should look at this. Something changed in our country that started this. And it’s not the guns. Because we’ve always had the guns. Something else happened, and we need to be looking and that’s the function of the NIH. This is the biggest health threat in our country. These shootings and NIH is supposed to be doing science and actually look at the cause. The problem is it (NIH) doesn’t want to do anything that will offend the pharmaceutical industry. They will not even do a genuine study, and it’s hard for the public and the press to figure it out because of the HIPPA Laws. You can’t get that information on the shooters. But the NIH can get the information but it won’t do it because it does not want to offend the pharmaceutical companies and we ought to at least be looking at that.” – RFKJ 2023   (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a widely used type of antidepressant medication. They’re mainly prescribed to treat depression, particularly persistent or severe cases, and are often used in combination with a talking therapy such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT))
On RELIGION	“I think we need some positive role models as well that stress what’s important about life — that we’re not just materialistic beings, we’re not just biological beings, we are spiritual beings, as well. … It’s tough living with one foot in the spiritual world and another foot in the material world,” he said, “and the saints were people who showed us how to do that.”  (2005, mar 19).    “To me, the environmental work is spiritual work — we have a biological drive to consume the planet, to compete, and ultimately to destroy what God has created, and that can only be overcome with a spiritual fire,” Kennedy said. “I don’t think nature is God, or that we ought to be worshipping it as God, but I do believe it’s the way that God communicates to us most forcefully.” (2005, mar 19).    “God talks to human beings through many vectors: wise people, organized religion, the Great Books of religions, through art, music and poetry. But nowhere with such detail, and grace and joy, as through creation. When we destroy nature, we diminish our capacity to sense the divine” – RFK Jr 2023 link
On his SAFETY / SECURITY	“There are worse things than dying, and living like a slave is one of those.”  link “I’m not safe. Not to the vested interests. But it’s my job to keep you safe.”  RFK Jr. link
On SECRET SERVICE	“You know what? I have a personal issue, which is my secret service protection. I have known President Biden for 40 years. He was a friend. With all of the issues about, you know, him, he was somebody that I thought at least had a fundamental decency. And the fact — I just don’t believe that he would have personally made the decision to deny me from secret service protection. I think somebody else is making those decisions.” link
On VACCINES	“People who advocate for safer vaccines should not be marginalized or denounced as anti-vaccine. I am pro-vaccine. I had all six of my children vaccinated. I believe that vaccines have saved the lives of hundreds of millions of humans over the past century and that broad vaccine coverage is critical to public health. But I want our vaccines to be as safe as possible.” – Robert F. Kennedy Jr  (2015) Thimeriosal book   “I am fearlessly Pro vaccine, I wanna see, I’ve had all six of my children vaccinated, I wanna see everybody taking their vaccines, we need full coverage. People don’t take them because they no longer believe in the CDC, cause they can see the science! We spent three years looking at every peer reviewed science publication ever written on Thimerosal. We found over 500 peer reviewed publications, all of them say it is the most potent neurotoxin that is not radioactive, why… its 30 times more toxic than lead. Why would we put that in childrens, a child, or pregnant woman if we didn’t have too. And we’ve already been shown by its removal from the pediatric vaccines, that we have good alternatives, we don’t need it anymore.” RFK JR (2014)   “I’ve never been anti-vaccine, and I’ve said that hundreds and hundreds of times but it doesn’t matter” – Robert F Kennedy Jr. link link   “Saying I’m anti-vaccine is ‘way of silencing me”  – Robert F Kennedy Jr.   “That’s not true… What I have said is vaccines, I’m not anti-vaccine. I think vaccines should be subjected to the same level of rigorous testing as other medications. And that is my only position.  I fought to get mercury out of fish for 40 years, and nobody called me anti-fish. I’m not anti vaccines just because I want safe vaccines. I think everybody wants safe vaccines, and as we all now recognize, the covid vaccines were neither safe, nor effective.” link   “They passed the vaccine act in 1986. And the vaccine act gave immunity from liability to all vaccine companies, if you, for any injury, for negligence. No matter how negligent you are, no matter how reckless your conduct, no matter how toxic the ingredient, how shoddily tested or manufactured the product, no matter how grievous your injury, you’re a vaccine company, you cannot be sued. This was a huge gift for this industry cause the biggest cost for every medical product is downstream liabilities. And all of a sudden, those disappeared. So you’re not only taking a way that cost, and incentivizing many new vaccines, your also dis-incentivizing, you’re removing the incentive to make them safe. No matter how dangerous they are, they don’t care, because they can’t be sued.”….  EAU vaccines “exempt from pre-licensing safety. They don’t have to be tested, and they’re not!” – RFK Jr (2023)   “CHD’s mission is to end the childhood health epidemics by working aggressively to eliminate harmful exposures, hold those responsible accountable, and establish safeguards so these issues never happen again.” – CHD “Every one of us has an obligation to do a civil disobedience every day. And that could just be walking up to another person – a mother who’s carrying a baby, like I did this morning – and saying, ‘Before you vaccinate that baby, do your independent research.’” – RFKJ (2021) “What I want is good testing, good safety testing for vaccines, good efficacy testing so that everybody knows and can make informed consent about whether they want this product or not, whether it’s good for their age group, whether it’s good for their cohort, whether it’s good for them. And let’s do the same kind of safety testing that we require for other drugs and we don’t do that for vaccines.” … “My vaccination policy will not take away vaccines from anybody who wants access to them. My only issue is they should not be mandated. I don’t think any medical intervention should be mandated.”- RFKJ  (2024) “At one point you say I’m anti-vaxx and that’s a bad thing. The other moment you point out that all my children are vaxxed. I’m fully compliant with the vaccine schedule myself except for COVID. I took flu vaccines for 20 years straight. I have never been anti-vaxx.” -RFKJ (2023) Censorship hearing, CSPAN
On WAR and BAIL OUTS	“Poverty in this country and the destruction of the middle class is systemic. And one of the big culprits is war, is these continuous wars of this job we’ve taken on of being policeman of the world” 2023   “The government announced that it was going to drop medicare for up to 15million Americans. The same month the government announced that it is printing 300 billion extra dollars to pay off the silicon valley bank to bail it out. So, we have money for wars, we have money bankers that need bailouts, but what happens to the American people when they’re on hard times? Shouldn’t we have compassion for them?” 2023
On the 1%	“The oligarchy of corporate billionaires wants to commoditize our lands, our waters, our homes, our workers, our public health, and even our children. They must be stopped.”  link   “This month, the corporate elites gathered in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum to plan the future for the rest of humanity. Their scheme which they call The Great Reset, will drain what’s ever left in your bank account and strip-mine the beleaguered middle class of its remaining equity.  During Covid, the WEF actually dictated the lockdowns that shifted $4 trillion upward to the new oligarchy of corporate billionaires.  The bankers, the investment houses, scooped up our homes advertising that “you will own nothing and be happy.” They have a plan, but my plan is to stop them. I’ve spent a career as an attorney fighting these corporate robber barons in court, I know how they work. I’m familiar with their impulses to commoditize our lands, our waters, our homes, and even our children, and our workers, our public health.  I’ve proven that I can beat them again and again and again, and derail their schemes. They spend billions in advertising and propaganda to make up feel powerless. But they’ve underestimated the power of We The People…..(helping our campaign) you’re letting them know that we’re not going to take it anymore.
	PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN 2024 – from Democrat to an Independent Candidate, to endorsing Trump
Presidential Campaign	His website updates daily. Always adding new and fresh info. This list below is not complete. Kennedy, R.F.Jr. (2023). https://www.kennedy24.com/ (Courage, Honesty, Transparency for Government)   ◆ RECONCILIATION America is more polarized and divided now than at any time in living memory. Both sides seem to agree that the basic problem is the horrible people on the other side. Both sides are wrong. The basic problem is the division itself. A divided public lacks the strength to resist exploitation or to overcome the inertia of the status quo. The classic American can-do spirit exhausts itself in endless battles. So let’s heal the divide. “Every nation, like every individual, has a darker side and a lighter side. The easiest thing for a politician to do is to appeal to our greed, to our anger, to our fear, to our xenophobia, our bigotry, all of the alchemies of tribalism. I will appeal instead to our generosity as a people, our goodness, our kindness, and our courage.”…
	◆ HONEST GOVERNMENT “A democratic government is supposed to be of, by, and for the people. But government institutions have betrayed our trust. The intelligence agencies spy on our own people. Government and tech platforms conspire to surveil and censor the public. Regulatory agencies have been captured by those they are supposed to regulate: Wall Street controls the SEC. Polluters and extractive industries dominate the EPA and BLM. Pharma controls the CDC, NIH, and FDA. Big Ag controls the USDA. Big Tech has captured the FTC. No wonder trust in government is at all-time lows. It’s time to earn it back. We are going to remake public institutions to serve the public. We will roll back the secrecy and make government transparent. We will protect whistleblowers and prosecute officials who abuse the public trust. We will rein in the lobbyists and slam shut the revolving door that shunts people from government agencies to lucrative positions in the companies they were supposed to regulate, and back again. We will get money out of politics. We will open our institutions to real citizen involvement. We will restore integrity to government….”
	◆ AMERICORPS Many young people today face a bleak choice upon graduation from high school. Some go to college, but college is not for everyone. Most of the rest must choose between low paying jobs in the service or gig economy, military enlistment, or a “career” in the illegal drug trade.  That is why Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is going to transform the existing Americorps program to offer a new option to young people who want to gain skills, step into adult responsibilities, and most of all, act on their altruism and desire to serve something larger than themselves.   The existing Americorps is just a one-year program open only to college grads. The transformed Americorps will be open to all people 18 and older who want to make a four year commitment to service, in areas such as: Urban renewal Ecological restoration Care for the disabled, sick, and elderly Infrastructure repair Addiction recovery centers Organic agriculture Each of these areas represents a huge unmet need for our country. For example, some estimate that 500,00-600,000 skilled workers are needed for infrastructure repair alone. There is plenty of meaningful work to be done to revitalize our country!
	◆ ENVIRONMENT First, we will shift agricultural subsidies so as to encourage regenerative practices. Today, a new generation of farmers and ranchers is building soil, replenishing groundwater, and detoxifying land, all while producing just as much food as conventional farmers and earning a decent livelihood. Secondly, we will incentivize the transition of industry to zero-waste cycles and clean energy sources, and forge agreements with other countries to implement these policies throughout the global supply chain. These first two policies will vastly reduce the toxic waste, industrial poisons, and pesticides that make people and ecosystems sick. Finally, we will protect wild lands from further development, by curbing mining, logging, oil drilling, and suburban sprawl. We will become a global advocate for rainforest preservation and marine restoration. We will rethink development policies that promised economic growth while ignoring ecological sustainability, and ended up delivering neither….
	◆ PEACE In the long term, a nation’s strength does not come from its armies. America spends as much on weaponry as the next nine nations combined, yet the country has grown weaker, not stronger, over the last 30 years. Even as its military technology has reigned supreme, America has been hollowing out from the inside. We cannot be a strong or secure nation when our infrastructure, industry, society, and economy are infirm….
	◆ CIVIL LIBERTIES Our administration will make it a top priority to protect and restore the fundamental civil liberties, enshrined in the Bill of Rights, that hold the essence of what America can be. These liberties have endured constant assault for over twenty years, starting with the Bush/Cheney War on Terror, and accelerating in the era of Covid lockdowns. Freedom of speech is the capstone of all other rights and freedoms. Once a government has the power to silence its opponents, no other right is safe. We will therefore dismantle the censorship-industrial complex, in which Big Tech censors, deplatforms, shadowbans, and algorithmically suppresses any person or opinion the government asks them to. We will respect the right to privacy and freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures, by ending mass surveillance of American citizens and the abuse of civil asset forfeiture. We will make sure that the Covid-era suspension of the right to assembly, trial by jury, and freedom of worship will never happen again. The same for the right to property….
	◆ REVITALIZATION The time has come to reverse America’s economic decline, decades in the making. Our country faces a widening wealth gap (the most unequal since the 1920s), rampant debt, decaying infrastructure, and a hollowed-out industrial base. Every night, tens of millions of American children go to bed hungry. Millions of Americans must choose between food and medicine; millions more are living on the edge, just a single car repair away from disaster. And these problems are even worse for Black, Native, and other minority populations.  Government assistance to the nation’s most vulnerable is a high priority, but even more important is to reverse the policies that have led to such poverty in the first place. We will rebuild the industrial infrastructure, ruined by forty years of off-shoring and misguided “free trade” schemes. We will enact policies that favor small and medium businesses, which are the nation’s real job creators and the dynamos of American enterprise. We will support labor in reclaiming its fair share of American prosperity. We will break up “too-big-to-fail” banks and monopolies, and when crisis strikes, bail out the homeowners, debtors, and small business owners instead….

	Kennedy’s Family Quotes about RFK Jr
	“I think the mistake the media makes is to think that his appeal to people is solely based on his relationship to our family,”… “I believe his followers are unaffected by his siblings’ or cousins’ concerns. His supporters believe in his message. I don’t think people coming out against him will have a great effect on that support.” Douglas H. Kennedy (brother) may 21 24 “So one thing I know about Bobby is if he hears that can’t be done, or you can’t do it, it only sparks a fire in him and it makes him fight harder.” Cheryl Hines (wife)  link “You are the most courageous, most insightful, most loving man I know! I can sit and listen to you tell stories for hours, days, for the rest of my lifetime! Quarantine has brought our whole family under the same roof for the first time since we were all children. When we part our separate ways again I have to say I am going to miss scolding you for sending emails during Killing Eve, leaving every door in the house open, interrupting my work meetings to go on hikes, watching you dip your fingers into every sauce at dinner! That being said you’ve had to put up with all our craziness as well.  You are my hero, forever and always! I adore you Pappa! Love you to the moon and back!    – Kyra Kennedy  (daughter) link   “I was so proud to be standing next to my cousin Bobby today. His energy and values are everything our family believes in. “ – Anthony Kennedy Shriver (cousin) oct 9 23
	“He was an extraordinary older brother,” she said the other day. “He’s brilliant, he’s well read, he cares deeply, he is extremely charismatic. He has a childlike buoyancy and lightness to him. He’s a beautiful person in a million different ways” – Kerry Kennedy (sister) link   “Bobby has always been a natural leader, a Pied Piper personality, collecting a whole assortment of different kinds of folks along the way… I have always thought he would make a marvelous politician” – Joe Kennedy (brother), Massachusetts congressman  link   Bobby “has immense political talent, but that while he’s loved in the family, not everyone agrees with his positions.” – Doug Kennedy (brother)  link   “Bobby works hard at family. I try to get to all the weddings of the cousins; Bobby gets to all of them.” “He’s very, very spontaneous. He’s a lightning rod,” “he had this ability to communicate with animals that the rest of us didn’t.” – Chris Lawford (cousin)  link   “This is a difficult situation for me. I love my older brother Bobby. He has extraordinary charisma and is a very gifted speaker… I admire his past work as an environmentalist – because of him, we can swim in the Hudson. But due to a wide range of Bobby’s positions, I’m supporting President Biden.” – Rory Kennedy (sister)  link   “I love my brother Bobby, but I do not share or endorse his opinions on many issues, including the COVID pandemic, vaccinations, and the role of social media platforms in policing false information” Kerry Kennedy link   “It’s really about siphoning votes from Biden. The polls I’m seeing, Bobby takes 70% of the votes from Biden, and 30% from Trump. And I feel strongly that this is the most important election of our lifetime. And there is so much at stake, and I do think its going to come down to a handful of votes and a handful of states. And I do worry, that Bobby just taking some percentage of votes from Biden could shift the election and lead to Trump’s election.”  – Rory Kennedy link (2024)
	RFK Jr. responds to family criticism
	“It has been my difficult choice to put my principles ahead of my personal affections for the President which remain undiminished. Some members of my family agree with me and others do not. I bear them no ill will. Families can disagree and still love each other. We hold that possibility for the entire country too,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. link   “There are other members of my family who are not here today. I’m going to make a confession, because I know, most American families, they never have any differences with each other. And when one does it’s—So when that happens in a family, it’s really huge news like everywhere. And but, you know, I want to just say this. I’m very grateful that many of the families who disagree with what I’m doing today, many of the family members have taken the time to write me beautiful letters of love this week to send me emails, to make telephone calls to me. I bear no ill will or any kind of disappointment to any of them. They have different views of the politics in this country. My whole family, including myself, have long personal relationships with President Biden. Many of my family members are working in the administration and many of them also just plain disagree with me on issues like censorship, on war, on public health. And they are entitled to their beliefs and I respect their opinions on them and I love them back. And I hope—And is it too much to hope that we could have the same thing for our country? We have a polarization in this country today that is so toxic and so dangerous than at any time since that civil war. During the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln said a country or a nation—”A house divided against itself cannot stand.” And when I talk to both Republican friends and Democratic friends, they talk about this division in almost apocalyptic terms.” RFK Jr –link     “I see my family all the time,” Kennedy later tells me. “I just came back from 10 days of skiing with the whole family, with Cheryl there. I mean, listen, I grew up in a milieu where we were raised to argue passionately with each other and still love each other. I feel my family loves me. There’s 105 members of my family, and a lot of them are supporting my campaign strongly. And there’s a small number that has criticized me — and that’s OK.” “My understanding is that they’re most worried that my running is going to make it more likely for President Trump to win.”  link

Quotes on RFK Jr by Associates & Peers #peers

“Bobby’s got the name, he’s got the brains, he’s got the commitment” – Judith Hope (chair of the state Democratic Party 1995)   “But it took this month’s agreement to convince the non-Kennedy-loving non-liberals that he was capable of more than stunt politics“ – Pat Wechsler   (1995)    “He was never unreasonable; in fact, he showed real gut instinct for what was doable.” – Finnegan, counsel for New York Governor, George Pataki  (1995)    “The magic of the [Kennedy] name is gone even in Massachusetts,” said Laurence Leamer, author of three books on the Kennedys. “There’s some of it left, but it’s not what it was. … If a Kennedy wins election, it will be because of his qualities and not because of his name from now on.”   link   “The only argument the DNC has left is that Biden is not Trump. When RFK Jr. gets on the ballot, the American public will have the ability to choose a candidate who is not Trump, who has integrity, bravery, a proven track record of fighting corporate corruption, and the ability to stand up to the corporate interests that have taken over the Biden administration. The American people are waking up, and the DNC’s only hope is to prevent them from having a choice,” Mark Gorton (American Values 2024 co-founder) link   “You do your homework… But I’ve taken the time to hear what you have to say. It’s informed, you have a basis for what you say, it’s all 100% good faith, and I think most people would change their opinion if they would take the time to listen” – Dr Phil (2024)

Addiction

RFK Jr. (2024, jun 2). Recovering America. Documentary Film Premiere with RFK Jr. 2:32:00
(Robert is focused on targeting the addiction that is destroying America and killing our family members.)

“Addiction… it’s a response to internal pain. It’s also a response to atomization, to loneliness… a disconnection to disaffection and we’re see that’s now an epidemic in this country. Where so many of us feel that we are no longer connected to a community. We’ve lost 100,000 kids last year to overdoses. That’s double the number of kids that we lost in the 20 year Vietnam war. But we’re really in a crisis now. One of my moonshot programs, will to be to launch a string of healing centers around this country, particularly in rural areas, where people will go there and do regenerative farming, regenerative agriculture, grow good food, healthy food, and learn to live in communities again without screens, without cell phones.” RFK jr (2024)

Blackrock

Moon. (2022, mar 8). BlackRock. The Most Evil Business In The World. 15:38. #blackrock

Mr. Kennedy has spoken on Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street investments firms often. You can find mention in almost every podcast, (see ukraine discussion above). RFKJ’s voice, and campaign has been literally censored by every single media outlet, by both the Biden’s administration (see censorship heading below), social media, and news organizations. Here is why:

“One of the ways Blackrock controls the world so well is through its control of the media. Together with Vanguard an investment company they also partly own, Blackrock now controls 18% of FOX, 16% of CBS, 13% of Comcast, who themselves own NBC MSNBC CNBC and SKY, and they even own 12% of Disney. This is very important because it means that for any of these companies to decide on company policy, they must now also consult with Blackrock before doing so. And it’s just the same with big tech. Blackrock is now the biggest institutional investor in Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and so many more.”

Chronic Health

RFKJ. (2023, aug 12). Healing Chronic Disease. 2:23
We spend $4.3 trillion annually on healthcare, and 86 percent of those funds go to treating chronic diseases. When I am president of the United States, I am going to end the chronic disease epidemic in this country.

Ault, T. (2024, mar 2). RFK Jr.: Chronic Disease Is Bankrupting America. 2:10 #chronic
I spoke with Todd Ault about one of the most urgent issues facing our country: the alarming increase in autoimmune diseases, chronic illness, and neurodevelopmental disorders. We’ve damaged and poisoned this entire generation, and driven health care expenditures through the roof. Why is no other presidential candidate talking about this? The United States has one of the highest costs of healthcare in the world: as much as $4.3 trillion per year. A staggering 93% of Medicare claims are for chronic disease. Meanwhile, a medical cartel comprised of regulatory agencies, pharmaceutical and insurance companies, and hedge-fund-owned hospitals are making a killing. The sicker we get, the richer they get.

As president, I’m going to reverse 80 years of farm policy in this country and end our reliance on industrial meat production, factory farming, and chemical-based agriculture. Our harmful farm policies and agricultural practices are destroying our soils and poisoning our food, while empowering processed food companies to fuel America’s chronic disease epidemic.

If you want to see the end of corporate control over our food supply and our farmland, please invest in my campaign and my healthier vision for America today.

Democratic National Committee corruption – #DNC

“They changed the primary rules while we were running the primary. They changed 60 different rules to make it impossible for anybody to challenge Joe Biden. I’d been campaigning in New Hampshire, so they adopted a rule that said that any Democratic candidate who steps foot into the state of New Hampshire, all of their votes would go to the President, all of their delegates would go to the President. They shut down the Florida primary, they shut down a bunch of primaries. A few weeks ago, President Biden was ridiculing Vladimir Putin, who won 88% of the vote in Russia, and he said that that was a fixed election because President Putin made sure that no adversaries could challenge him, and also that he had fixed the press, so the press wouldn’t cover his adversaries.

Well, the Democratic Party succeeded in doing the same thing. I haven’t been allowed on any of the Democratic networks. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN … Fox has allowed me on. You have allowed me to speak, you debate me, you give me a platform even though you don’t agree with things that I say. I think that’s the way the media is supposed to work.”
