Kennedy has his own strong channel of communication with his followers, so major media can\u2019t black him out.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative websites tend to like him. They\u2019ll give him space and coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy isn\u2019t a dedicated socialist. That\u2019s a surprise. He wants to make mega-corporations pay for the damage they do. As in: shell out big bucks to clean up the poisonous pollution they spread into the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Some Democrats still consider that a priority, when they\u2019re not busy campaigning for genital mutilation surgery for kids and calling it the Lord\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p>And there are a surprising number of liberals who defend one of Kennedy\u2019s major causes\u2014health freedom\u2014the right of every person to manage his\/her own health choices; including the right to refuse specific medical treatments. Vaccines would be one of those.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s not going to run a cosmetic campaign for the Presidency. He\u2019s not going to preen and tap dance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut\u2026but he\u2019s not PERfect. Wah-wah. He doesn\u2019t support every possible method of getting oil out of the ground, he worked on John Kerry\u2019s campaign, and he doesn\u2019t\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I know that. As we come closer to the election, I\u2019ll unveil The Ageless Great Prophet from the Mountain, who is absolutely flawless in every possible respect, has been vetted by 1000 whining bloggers in mommy\u2019s basement, and is also running for the Presidency, on the Alternative Enlightened Universe Party ticket. But until then, I have positive things to say about Kennedy.<\/p>\n<p>If he can get past the network censors and stand on stage for televised debates during the campaign, and get face time, Kennedy will stir up a good kind of trouble. He\u2019ll make points people need to hear. He\u2019ll mean business.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of highlights from his work as an attorney\/activist: co-counsel on a monster winning 2018 lawsuit against Monsanto\u2019s Roundup; a successful effort to clean up the foul Hudson River. Both efforts were mounted against long odds.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy and DeSantis know each other. On certain issues, like heinous vaccine mandates, they have the same view. \u201cNO.\u201d That could make for some interesting byplay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut\u2026but he can\u2019t win the election. And he might take votes away from DeSantis or Trump\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All sorts of people might take votes away from other people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut\u2026but the vote is going to be rigged, so it doesn\u2019t matter\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If it doesn\u2019t matter, then what Kennedy has to say isn\u2019t going to do harm, it\u2019s going to do some good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut\u2026but if we focus on the election, we take our focus away from what really matters\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Newsflash: There are a whole lot of things that really matter. Doing something about any one of them can take time away from the others.<\/p>\n<p>Go to Kennedy\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/childrenshealthdefense.org\/\" rel=\"\">website<\/a>, <em>Children\u2019s Health Defense<\/em>. Read the articles they churn out, day after day, in <em>The Defender<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/childrenshealthdefense.org\/defender\/\" rel=\"\">section<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I want him to have as much visibility as possible. I want him to cause as much good trouble as possible. I want Democrats to remember some of the issues they used to champion, before they decided everyone they disagree with has to be shouted down, attacked, and called a racist.<\/p>\n<p>I want Democrats to remember they once knew the FDA was corrupt to the core.<\/p>\n<p>They knew giants like Pfizer were mega-corporate liars and criminals.<\/p>\n<p>They knew Monsanto\u2019s GMOs were a major crime.<\/p>\n<p>They knew the federal government and huge corporations were colluding day and night.<\/p>\n<p>They knew US involvement in foreign wars was a con and a crime and a money pot for the defense industry.<\/p>\n<p>They knew the Chinese model of government was a tyranny, not a \u201cwonderful way to stem the tide of a pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They even knew freedom of speech was a right and a necessity.<\/p>\n<p>They weren\u2019t grotesque germophobes.<\/p>\n<p>They weren\u2019t Stalinesque riot mobs canceling everything that moves except themselves.<\/p>\n<p>So go get it, Bobby. Kick some serious ass. Stir some crazed loons\u2019 memories of a time when they were better.<\/p>\n<p>You may have noticed that in this piece, I\u2019m arguing against the type of person who sees elections as complete dead ends. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n<div class=\"subscribe-widget\"><\/div>\n<p>I don\u2019t have a STAKE in saying they\u2019re dead ends. I don\u2019t have a STAKE in the bigger agenda often behind that, which is: WE\u2019RE ALL DOOMED AND THERE\u2019S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t have a stake in that. I don\u2019t believe it. And this is what I\u2019d say to the legions of people who do believe it:<\/p>\n<p>Since you\u2019re sure we\u2019re all doomed, then all bets are off. So my suggestion is, PRETEND WE\u2019RE NOT DOOMED. What have you got to lose? You\u2019ve already lost. PRETEND WE\u2019RE NOT DOOMED, and FIGHT from that premise. Fight as if it matters.<\/p>\n<p>Enter the arena. And if in the course of fighting, you change your mind, you\u2019ll feel better and think better.<\/p>\n<p>And who knows what else might happen.<\/p>\n<p>Even if elections are dead ends, <em>election campaigns<\/em> don\u2019t have to be. Certain people running for office can step into the light and galvanize the public. Certain AUTHENTIC candidates can throw caution to the wind and give it their all. And remind others what relentless dedication to the Good looks like.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Kennedy might be one of those candidates.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Jon Rappoport<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/jonrappoport.substack.com\/p\/robert-f-kennedy-jr-is-running-for-president\">https:\/\/jonrappoport.substack.com\/p\/robert-f-kennedy-jr-is-running-for-president<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-163513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=163513"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163513\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=163513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=163513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=163513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
