Well done video. After speaking the truth for the past 3 and 1/2 months about what's happening in the world, RFK Jr. is now speaking the truth about his chief opponents. This is the first truly political video I've seen from him, and it was smooth, accurate, and not nasty. Overall a perfect wedding between speaking truth and promoting his own brand. Well done!
I've saved copies of The Kenned Beacon but don't seem to have the one in which Kennedy compares America's poor health with some of the worlds poorest countries. Any chance you could send it to me?
I have been kind of dreading hearing your economic policy. I am afraid the libertarians like Fitz that dominate the podcast world and even infect intelligent voices like Whitney into occasionally sounding like Freedman have steered you into their delusions.
Hopefully you have read and understand The Web of Debt by Ellen Brown. That book at least gets at the essential purpose and usefulness of finance and also makes clear the absolutely essential nature of government in the creation, moderation and regulation of a means of exchange. A functional and non extractive means of exchange that is.
But how are you ever going to take on a banking/military/industrial/intelligence/mafia/church/PR complex. I put banking first (I don’t know about the order of the rest) because it would be extremely likely that Rockefellers/Rothschilds/the rest of that small contingent are the prime movers of the whole system of imperium.
I added the church in there because I recently read The Vatican Exposed: Money, Murder, and the Mafia by Paul L. Williams which does for the Church in one very short book what Webb’s book does for the spooks. As Michael Parenti pointed out in his lecture on conspiracy. It would be ridiculous not to assume that the aforementioned have and are conspiring.
It looks grim, I hope you live, you are very inspiring and lovable.
please do not send any more of these articles. I did not subscribe--I think it was linked with something I bought, according to a note somewhere on an article. Please stop sending this.
"As Kennedy notes, “credit card debt is $300 billion more than when President Trump took his oath of office,” with interest rates on that debt averaging 22%. "
I'm with Michael Hudson in "The Destiny of Civilization" - Banking, Insurance, Health Care should be public services. It is criminal to allow rentier capitalists to exploit the most basic of human necessities.
The disparity will never be "fixed" while there is more money printing and debt, causing the devaluation of the dollar to little to nothing. Audit the Fed and close it down. Almost all of the money printed ends up in the hands of the rich.
Some INSPIRATION about what should be the deep spiritual sources of economic organisation. From one of the most noble souls of the 20th Century : FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT:
Franklin Roosevelt’s Re-Nomination Acceptance Speech (1936)
In July 27, 1936, President Franklin Roosevelt accepted his re-nomination as the Democratic Party’s presidential choice. In his acceptance speech, Roosevelt laid out his understanding of what “freedom” and “tyranny” meant in an industrial democracy.
" … Philadelphia is a good city in which to write American history. This is fitting ground on which to reaffirm the faith of our fathers; to pledge ourselves to restore to the people a wider freedom; to give to 1936 as the founders gave to 1776—an American way of life.
That very word freedom, in itself and of necessity, suggests freedom from some restraining power. In 1776 we sought freedom from the tyranny of a political autocracy—from the eighteenth century royalists who held special privileges from the crown. It was to perpetuate their privilege that they governed without the consent of the governed; that they denied the right of free assembly and free speech; that they restricted the worship of God; that they put the average man’s property and the average man’s life in pawn to the mercenaries of dynastic power; that they regimented the people.
And so it was to win freedom from the tyranny of political autocracy that the American Revolution was fought. That victory gave the business of governing into the hands of the average man, who won the right with his neighbors to make and order his own destiny through his own Government. Political tyranny was wiped out at Philadelphia on July 4, 1776.
Since that struggle, however, man’s inventive genius released new forces in our land which reordered the lives of our people. The age of machinery, of railroads; of steam and electricity; the telegraph and the radio; mass production, mass distribution—all of these combined to bring forward a new civilization and with it a new problem for those who sought to remain free.
For out of this modern civilization economic royalists carved new dynasties. New kingdoms were built upon concentration of control over material things. Through new uses of corporations, banks and securities, new machinery of industry and agriculture, of labor and capital—all undreamed of by the fathers—the whole structure of modern life was impressed into this royal service.
There was no place among this royalty for our many thousands of small business men and merchants who sought to make a worthy use of the American system of initiative and profit. They were no more free than the worker or the farmer. Even honest and progressive-minded men of wealth, aware of their obligation to their generation, could never know just where they fitted into this dynastic scheme of things.
It was natural and perhaps human that the privileged princes of these new economic dynasties, thirsting for power, reached out for control over Government itself. They created a new despotism and wrapped it in the robes of legal sanction. In its service new mercenaries sought to regiment the people, their labor, and their property. And as a result the average man once more confronts the problem that faced the Minute Man.
…
An old English judge once said: “Necessitous men are not free men.” Liberty requires opportunity to make a living—a living decent according to the standard of the time, a living which gives man not only enough to live by, but something to live for.
For too many of us the political equality we once had won was meaningless in the face of economic inequality. A small group had concentrated into their own hands an almost complete control over other people’s property, other people’s money, other people’s labor—other people’s lives. For too many of us life was no longer free; liberty no longer real; men could no longer follow the pursuit of happiness.
Against economic tyranny such as this, the American citizen could appeal only to the organized power of Government. The collapse of 1929 showed up the despotism for what it was. The election of 1932 was the people’s mandate to end it. Under that mandate it is being ended.
…
Today we stand committed to the proposition that freedom is no half-and-half affair. If the average citizen is guaranteed equal opportunity in the polling place, he must have equal opportunity in the market place.
These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power. In vain they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.
…
Governments can err, Presidents do make mistakes, but the immortal Dante tells us that divine justice weighs the sins of the cold-blooded and the sins of the warm-hearted in different scales.
Better the occasional faults of a Government that lives in a spirit of charity than the consistent omissions of a Government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.
There is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected. This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny. "

God bless you RFK Jr. Keep speaking truth and Americans will get behind you!
Amen, Evans W!

At the very least we Americans deserve an honest State of the Nation.. in 4 minutes even better!
Concise, detailed, and direct!
REMARKABLE video! I circulated it to my list.
I've saved copies of The Kenned Beacon but don't seem to have the one in which Kennedy compares America's poor health with some of the worlds poorest countries. Any chance you could send it to me?
Thank you Bobby! #KENNEDY24

EXCEPT for his stance on APARTHEID ISRAEL
No kidding. Wow I kind of felt like I had a sense of who he was until listening to his Israel bs. It is frightening that he can sound so delusional.

I’ll be interested to see if his videos are ‘fact checked’ or otherwise flagged. Please keep us posted of those sorts of shenanigans.

Connected and authentically stated. Americans deserve the truth. It’s how to begin creating a better situation for people.
