I called and left a message at 818-460-7477 expressing that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. needs to be on the debate stage at ABC in September. I encourage you to do the same.

I do not get to vote since I am not a citizen of USA. However as an outside observer it is extremely disturbing to witness the manipulative machinations of the mainstream candidates. Will either of them display the courage to welcome an independent who has abided by all the rules and is not 'owned' by any corporate or bureaucratic interests?

The initial paragraphs of your article say it all. I’m in for BOB THE BUILDER! RFK can get things done under the most challenging circumstances. He is a pioneering spirit and change maker who needs to be heard in the debate.

Did someone say democracy? Haven't seen it for quite some time. That's right , Harris was never elected. Thanks for this piece. Lou.

Could not agree more: "We do not need debates emceed by morning talk show hosts who are DNC or RNC party apparatchiks pretending to be serious journalists. Independent journalists like Matt Taibbi, Michael Schellenberger, and others not aligned with the worn-out legacy media would ask challenging, relevant questions".

I also think Joe Rogan or Tucker Carlson or Russel Brand or some other podcaster should host a debate on their Channel on Rumble. Have an actor stand in for Kamela with the rule this actor can only respond with statements made by Kamela in the past. Would be entertaining at a minimum.

Lol! That would be something entertaining.

I am certain that if ABC will keep working to block RFK Jr. , ergo democracy, there WILL be an “alternative REAL debate like last time. The challenge is to bring awareness of it more mainstream.

Taibbi demanded the Substack founder delete my original Substack account and all of my comments…he’s a hypocrite.

What did you do to deserve that - seems pretty severe.

I signed up for a year subscription with Taibbi because I wanted his opinion on the Ukraine War because I had opposed the Iraq War from day 1. Anyway, at some point I started disagreeing with other commenters and then I started disagreeing with Taibbi. Once I started disagreeing with Taibbi he started demanding I cancel my subscription and he would refund me for the entire year. I told him I would definitely not renew my subscription but I didn’t want a refund and I would continue commenting.

And then the Twitter Files happened and one day he cancelled my subscription. And then I came back on a free post and commented and within a few minutes Substack had deleted my account and all of my comments. So Taibbi clearly had a direct line to the Substack founders once he started reporting on the Twitter Files…I think he ended up their top author and was making them a lot of money. I was involved in blogging around 2010 and I knew people that met with Zuckerberg because they were driving so much traffic on Facebook and so I know how this all works. Oh, and I forgot. Around the time they deleted my account Substack posted a new Terms of Moderation and it was obviously directed at me. Like I said, I am an original blogger and I know how this all works…except when I was blogging there was no money in it!!! Now bloggers make millions of dollars!! That’s my luck!!

This is a totally reasonable and essential point of view. In my opinion, Kennedy Trumps Harris, as far as getting to debate or be on the ballot in November.

I'm always grateful for the extremely impressive Kennedy Beacon! I Googled ABC News, jotted down 1-818-460-7477 left an emphatic message that Kennedy should be included in the presidential debate and also made clear that the MSM are robbing We the People of even our remaining slivers of democracy. It's up to all of us to take action before America devolves into a revolution! In a debate with Trump and Harris, he would be the resounding winner. Kennedy and his impressive associates have been performing brilliantly throughout the campaign, but they need us. Kennedy is the only candidate criticizing lawless corporations that are destroying our lives and that's the reason the oligarchs are going over the top to silence him.

Love the sentiment but, Where is the “How to get him into the debate link”‘for those who will see this commentary and have no idea who to contact?

Any debate is a joke if they don't include the leading candidate! Give RFK the stage and let "democracy" actually be practiced.

Expand full comment

Why do you think Bobby Kennedy is the leading candidate?

Expand full comment

He has the highest favor-ability ratings of all the candidates and Independents outnumber Democrats and Republicans combined. The only thing holding him down is censorship and ignorant voters (that assume it's impossible for a third party candidate to win).

What is happening to our country (Land of the Free)?? Why are things so disproportionate array?? Are we subjectively being told how things are going to be and we must “obey”?? This vagrant behavior is casting an unsustainable picture to the world, how the United States is being governed! I predict these actions that be, underestimate our sovereign nation! It’s unsustainable! People are being pushed up against the wall, against their will, for lawlessness that is hurting America and its people! Nothing good is in the future, for the continual abuse of power!!

Totally understandable, given how things are. But we genuinely believe RFK Jr. is the game changer.

We are witnessing the total collapse of the American political party system. At last and good riddance.

Thank you for this article! Is there a phone .# for the ABC debate or link? I called fox that Bobby MUST be on the Debate stage! Re ABC yes they should have independent journalists like Glenn Greenwald Michael Shellenberger Matt Taibbi Instead of their anchors who are all in with the DNC!

Sorry, the only reason this accomplished environmental activist is getting even the little traction he has shown is because of name recognition and his connection to Camelot!!! I offer you a clip of another Kennedy debate 62 years ago. The whole thing is good but the most important begins at 0:34 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6H0LTyaC94
