Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.), son of U.S. senator Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former and assassinated President John F. Kennedy, has recently made headlines for announcing his 2024 presidential run as a Democrat.
According to his campaign website, RFK Jr. says he wants honest government, saying that the government system has been thoroughly bought and paid for by corporations, lobbyists, and stakeholders. He promises:
[…] 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.
He also claims that he wants to end the divide between parties, and is quoted as saying, “My aim is to convince every Democrat that you’re not a Democrat, and every Republican that you’re not a Republican.”
RFK Jr. also says he wants to reform things like environmental policy, promoting the transition to regenerative farming; ‘incentive the transition of industry to zero-waste cycles and clean energy sources;’ and stymie anymore oil drilling, logging, mining, and suburban sprawls, while becoming a ‘global advocate for rainforest preservation and marine restoration.’
Jr. proposes economic reforms that promote small and medium business, and busting up monopolies and “too-big-to-fail” banks, while trying to restore strength in the U.S. dollar.
Furthermore, Kennedy says a ‘high priority of a Kennedy administration will be to make America strong again,’ claiming that America’s endless wars and overreaching military industrial complex needs to be rescinded, and stop sending money overseas as the homefront erodes, saying, “America cannot be an empire abroad and continue to be a democracy at home.”
He also says he wants to restore civil liberties and realigning with the Constitution and Bill of Rights, while ending Big Tech’s censorship and shadow banning, and ending mass surveillance. He will also seek protections for the poor and minorities. Also, Jr. wants to reform and “transform” the police, not defund them.
Imprison Climate Change Deniers
Because of RFK Jr.’s announcement, more Americans have begun to do some extra digging into his beliefs and prior endorsements.
In September of 2014, Jr. participated in a large protest of around 100,000 participants in New York City for the “People’s Climate March,” and when Climate Depot Director Marc Morano asked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a set of questions, RFK said that he believes climate change deniers should be put in jail.
When asked about Charles and David Koch, “the Koch Brothers” as they are often referred to as, who are a pair wealthy billionaire conservative industrialists, Kennedy bitterly said this:
Do I think the Koch Brothers are treasonous? Yes I do. They are enjoying making themselves billionaires by impoverishing the rest of us. Do I think they should be in jail? I think they should be enjoying three hots and a cot at The Hague with all the other war criminals who are there.
Morano: What about politicians who deny [climate change]?
RFK Jr.: They’re selling out to public trusts. And I think those guys who are doing the Koch brother’s bidding, and who are against all the evidence of the rational mind, are saying that global warming doesn’t exist – and they are contemptible human beings, and that, you know, I wish that there were a law you could punish them under.
Investor’s Business Daily writes: ‘The Kochs’ crime? Selling energy resources to willing buyers and funding organizations that have reservations about the climate change story we’re constantly being told. Of course Kennedy’s wild man rant isn’t new either. The history of mankind is marked with incidents of one group forcing its beliefs on another at the point of the sword — and more lately at the strike of a U.S. passenger jet.’
Yellow Hammer, an Alabama-based publication also commented on some of Kennedy’s connections and climate affiliations, specially those connected to Alabama:
RFK, Jr., has made his living as an environmental attorney and activist. Most notably, he is the president of a liberal environmental group called Waterkeeper Alliance.
According to Waterkeeper’s website, they have over 200 affiliated local groups across the country, including at least seven in Alabama.
Among those groups is Black Warrior Riverkeeper, whose executive director, Nelson Brooke, has been one of the foremost anti-economic growth environmental activist in the state in recent years. Most recently, Brooke led a group of environmental organizations in a lawsuit to block the Northern Beltline. Once completed, the beltline will be a 52-mile highway running from Interstate 59 in northeast Jefferson County to the Interstate 459 and I-20/59 junction in southwest Jefferson County. A U.S. District Court judge ultimately ruled against the environmental groups, finding their requests to be “useless and redundant.”
Yellowhammer reached out to Brooke today for his thoughts, but was only able to speak with another individual at Black Warrior Riverkeeper who did not disclose her name.
“Waterkeeper Alliance functions as an umbrella organization — basically a trade association — for us and other local groups,” she explained. “They connect us together to share resources and ideas.”
She declined to discuss whether their organization agreed with RFK Jr. that climate change deniers should be jailed, other than to say that “In context, it’s not as definitive as you think.” For further comment, she said Yellowhammer would need to speak with Mr. Brooke, but he has not returned our calls.
The statewide Alabama Rivers Alliance, which also functions under RFK, Jr.’s Waterkeeper umbrella, received a $40,000 matching grant from the San Francisco-based Energy Foundation “to accelerate the retirement of coal-fired power plants in Alabama.”
Financial disclosures released by the Energy Foundation revealed late last year that millions of dollars had been funneled to local Alabama environmental groups with the stated purpose of shutting down coal-fired power plants.
Unfortunately this “war on coal” hit home in Alabama in August, as Alabama Power announced that federal environmental mandates forced them to close two of the state’s coal-fired units and transition two others from coal to natural gas, resulting in a reduction in workforce.
Yellowhammer also detailed for months environmental groups’ efforts to hijack Alabama Public Service Commission (PSC) hearings under the guise of advocating for lower energy rates for consumers.
So although RFK Jr.’s comments and the climate change protests took place in another part of the country, they undoubtedly have a direct impact on the Yellowhammer State as well.
Furthermore, in more recent times, RFK Jr. attributed the devasting brush fires in Australia in early 2020 to climate change, as well with fires in California in an interview with Yahoo.
He also said that what the world is facing will ultimately lead to the
“disappearance” of the “ice caps” and “glaciers” on every continent, on top of “major disruptions” that will plague society.
When asked about the Democratic nominee race at the time, he said that they all had better green and environmental policies versus President Donald Trump.
When asked about endorsements, he said that he particularly liked Tulsi Gabbard’s foreign policy stances and aligns most with her. Gabbard – a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader – converted to non-partisanship earlier this year, but landed a job at Fox News and has even filled in for Tucker Carlsen on occasion.
RFK Jr. noted that he and his family have “very strong relationships with most of the candidates.” He added that his children were working for the former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor and WEF Young Global Leader Pete Buttigieg, who is now the current Transportation Secretary; and Jr.’s cousin Joe worked with Elizabeth Warren. Furthermore, he said that “there are a number of other members of my family who are working for Joe Biden.”
Commenting on Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s (D-NY) Green New Deal, Jr. said that we “ought to be pursuing that,” though he still has his own approach, believing that “carbon taxes” would help America transition away from being a “coal-based economy.”
Interestingly enough, RFK Jr. also called for this:
We ought to have a market-based economy that does what the market is supposed to do, which is to reward good behavior, which is efficiency; and punish bad behavior which is inefficiency.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
Proverbs 18:6
Needless to say, RFK Jr. just another goon from “the club,” for an election that is pointless, making tall and smattering promises that will never be met. The election is not until November of next year, and so all of this is just a distraction and waste of our time anyways.
It should also be noted that the media loves to keep calling this guy an “anti-vaxxer,” when he will readily to you he is not, and that he made his kids get many vaccines and then some. His only real critique has been the Covid vaccines. And even then, when he funded a flagrant protest last year over the Covid vaccines, he would only protest the MANDATES, and not the deadly vaccines themselves, or the government tyrants that pushed them. There is a clear difference. I have noted also in a separate report that he still gets plenty of kickbacks from Big Pharma.
RFK Jr. is just another political parasite and green zealot in the club. Don’t trust him, don’t waste time on him. This is just more Hegelian Dialectic, Right vs. Left paradigm lies.
He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
Proverbs 12:17
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
