Thank you Mr. Wockner for caring about home and its health. Decades ago I was so impressed by the Bioneers group on Facebook. They used nature as a guide to eliminate the use of paint in car production, layering the outer body of vehicles the way a flys wings are layered to produce an iridescent effect. Many colors reflected off the small electric car, with no paint involved.

Another example I remember was the “Mushroom Man”, who took a plot of soil with nuclear waste, grew a type of mushroom which turned the soil neutral, and the mushrooms grown could safely be eaten.

There is so much wisdom, maybe all, that exists in nature. Having leaders who know, and study, and trust this wisdom can open the door of decades of research and hard work to finally be utilized.

Well written. Thank you. Everyone needs to be an environmentalist each doing our part. Our food choices matter as our do the other lifestyle choices. We are microcosm of the macrocosm called planet Earth. Do things good for the earth? We’re also doing things that are good for ourselves. That is the connection between health and environment. Gratitude to Bobby and Nicole for leading the effort in both areas.

I’m with you about Kennedy staying in the race. Absolutely time for us as a people to shake off the blinders and the learned helplessness we’ve slumped into. Why can’t we overwhelmingly vote our independent candidate into office. Of course there is no comparison between Bobby and the other two so called candidates. And yes kiss the ground was an epic movie and I too am a long time Bioneers fan but only until the Plandemic when the Bioneers and my former party became gestapo about government narrative and countermeasures and I finally turned my back on them until Kennedy ran and I returned for that brief “I’m a Kennedy democrat”window. Now I’m with we the people independent and still voting for Kennedy/Shanahan. Grateful Bobby has the cajones to stand his ground and keep fighting for us and other living things.

Well written and strategic. However, what this says to me is Kennedy wins if Joe Biden drops out. The Democrat party has been evil in how it treats Kennedy, so another win, albeit less attractive, is if he prevents Biden from being reelected to teach these evildoers a lesson.

Not only do they perform trickery on Kennedy, look no further than the Yale law professor posting on the recent Trump "Democrat sponsored Attempted derailment" case in Manhattan. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u23t__ysVjU&t=1s The conclusion I draw is that the forces of Evil will stop at nothing and will elect Biden.

Kennedy, if he cannot be the Democrat nominee, will lose in two ways - (1) He will not be president and teach the Democrats a needed lesson and (2) he will help Biden get elected, rewarding the Democrats that proceed with impunity.

My advice - be strategic - keep the pressure on - get in the televised debates - then make an environmental bargain with Trump and support him. Before he does this, try to disrupt the Democrat convention and somehow be the nominee. Otherwise he goes down in History as a Ross Perot, helping the Democrat nominee.

I’m sorry but why would he want to be the Democratic nominee when he left that corrupt party?! When are you republicans going to start leaving that corrupt party? Make an environmental bargain w/Drumpf and then support him?! That will NEVER happen!! Why can’t you let that man-baby go? Declare your independence .#kennedy24

Because he is going to lose if he keeps in this track. It is very sad as he is great candidate that was screwed by the Dems and I wish he was the nominee. He has no chance according to this article.

We must be reading 2 different articles! I read nothing that implies he has no chance. Don’t know why anyone would say that when he’s doing so well out here! I do know the dems are paying plenty of people to leave negative comments about him to take him down though! Hummmm. #kennedy24

This is from the article - very important - "Importantly, less than a week after the environmentalists’ call for Kennedy to drop out, the polls turned around, suggesting that Kennedy could actually pull more voters from Trump than from Biden. It seems possible that if Kennedy stays in the race, he could actually help Biden get elected. Further, one poll by the Kennedy campaign argued that if Biden dropped out, Kennedy could beat Trump, whereas if Kennedy dropped out, Trump would still beat Biden".

Some Democrats see the campaign so differently:

Michael Cohen and "Rick Wilson, longtime Republican political strategist, turned Lincoln Project co-founder, and zealous anti-Trump activist"

"Can Kennedy and Shanahan Heal the Environmental-Political Divide?"

This begs the question if Mr. Kennedy is just naive or utterly out of touch?

There is NO WAY to fix the system through means inside the system; the system is too broken to be fixed. If anything, Mr. Kennedy should mobilize the people and put pressure on the power structure to abandon the highway to Hell they are on now. If nukes start to fly, both Kennedy and Shahahanahan will be fried BEFORE the election (assuming that those would actually take place).

Preventing Armageddon should be their priority, not climbing to the seats of power... bloody hell...

Trump is masterful at getting free press coverage, which is all he needs to tell the lies to keep uppermost in people's minds on the way to election day.

Kennedy needs to use the same concept, with opposite polarity, by stating how he can fix x, y, and z that both his opponents didn't handle while he was in office.

The divide is between those people who who fear "Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming

and those people who do not. The fearful people mistake the "complex" physical system that is Earth's climate system for a "non-complex" physical system whereas the non-fearful people do not. The fearful people are socialists while the non-fearful people are not.

I too relate to this history, now living in rural Maine on the property where I grew up, having inherited it with my brothers from our parents. Precious land and lake, fields to allow solitude and grow food. I am part of a community locally that understands the many state crimes, the lies, etc. around the 60s assassinations, 9/11, and the covid phenomenon. We also deplore the horrid US support for the ongoing genocide against Palestinians. Never again for ALL, and finally, '"LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL."

Do you not understand, Mr. Handsome, the indigenous wisdom that says if we don't take care of the earth it will not take care of us? Do you not comprehend the interrelatedness of life and the foundation of ecology? Yes,thee are some wrong directions, but we must all be environmentalists is a practical as well as a spiritual sense. The phrase Mother Earth is not just a metaphor.

Here in Maine the lead environmental industry representative is very comfortable allowing big wind to blast off mountain tops and gutting the sides with permanent roads, and encouraging big solar to cover wide swaths of farmland with completely unrecyclable solar panels all in the name of environmentalism, just as long as those environmental donations keep rolling in.

As a farmer, I practice good environmental stewardship every day. I have to because if I didn't, mother earth would put me out of business, and no amount of Bobbie Kennedy, environmental lawyer types would be of any use except to keep their "system" going.

You can keep your slogans and admonishments and your brand of feel-good environmentalism to yourself. It's of no use to anyone but the people that make their paycheck from it.

Hey man, I'm in rural Maine too and I concur about much of what you say here! i grow organic food for myself and high bush blueberries to sell. What I was talking about is real care for the environment (as Bobby did for the Hudson River, for instance) not what "passes for" environmentalism. We are "Mainely" on the same page.
