The New York Times politics reporter, Rebecca Davis O'Brien, appeared on the paper’s podcast, 'The Daily,' hosted by Michael Barbaro, on Thursday, October 12. During the roughly thirty-minute episode, O’Brien outlined Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s journey from litigator against polluters and the pharmaceutical industry, to an insurgent independent presidential candidate challenging the status quo of the two-party system.

O’Brien spoke to me at length before the speech. She recorded it and asked for my number. I spoke about Blackrock state street and vanguard and touched on all of RFK Jrs campaign issues. She used one quote about Bobby telling the truth. :)
It's commendable that Mr. Kennedy should be calling out BlackRock for it's predatory actions in buying up family homes but we should also be aware that BlackRock and similar firms like State Street and Vanguard are enabled by a Federal Reserve System that creates huge amounts of money out of thin air for speculation. It's a corrupt system that has destroyed workers and the middle class in favor of these Wall Street crooks. Mr. Kennedy should be demanding an end to the Fed in favor of a new system of sovereign control of the monetary system by the central government. Money creation for derivatives and speculation should be ended now.
Since RFK Jr went independent, there is a much greater sense now that this is a 3-way race. Already, favorability ratings made Kennedy look good vis-a-vis Trump and Biden. Now, legacy media is going to be doing a more cautious dance until it formulates a clear strategy based on polls. MSM outlets can't yet decide on the nature of the danger Bobby poses to the Establishment. They're asking themselves, "Will he take more votes from the Democrat nominee or the Republican?" If they ever settle on a firm answer to that question (big "IF"), the knives will re-sharpen, and MSM (whether Fox on the right or CNN, MSNBC et al on the left) will become more vicious in attacking him.
Finally, a NYT writer has their sh-- together. Kennedy will be the man of the hour. Just wait and see. We have 12 months left - honestly, Biden and Trump will both be burnt out by then. - and they are both too old - even if you liked them.
I've actually noticed quite a few mainstream media sources that are suddenly tempering their hostility toward Kennedy. I think some liberals are starting to realize that he may be the only chance they have to beat Trump.
New york state voted 60 percent for biden and 38 or 40 %for trump.in 2020. New York city is a ranked voting city. If he can push Biden below 50 % in New Yok State, then in ranked voting, if he is ahead of Trump. He likely gets all the Trump votes. As long as he is ahead of Trump. He can win NewYork. The key is New York city that has 20% turnout. He pushes this he wins bigly.
I'm not sure if ranked choice voting in New York City applies to presidential elections. The first article that I came across makes it appear that it only applies to primaries and special elections for local offices. If that's the case, they are certainly not going to extend it to presidential elections next year. It is a reminder of when liberals liked independent and third-party candidates to run.
The Uniparty is real and is funded and controlled by the oligarchy that has replaced the voters as the drivers of policy via PACS, lobbying money, and increasingly craven outright bribery. The populist left and populist right would be a solid majority in a fair election (but the Uniparty seems fine with the obvious election stealing of 2020 and AZ in '22). If the Pharma/military/censorship industrial complex retains their hold on Congress and White House after '24, a cacophony of succession calls will suddenly sweep the red states. Every day thousands of people have the scales fall off their eyes as they see exploding homelessness (its even in small towns now), exploding prices for necessities (#1 being housing, #2 food, and #3 energy) and absolutely NOTHING being done by our elected reps in DC to do ANYTHING about it. And they all retire with multi-generational wealth while our real incomes and savings melt like an ice cube in the desert.
Kennedys campaign manager, Dennis Kucinich resigned?! And is being replaced by his daughter in law who has a Bill Gates retweet? This isn’t feeling good to me. This has got to be an Isreal thing. So disappointed. Does anyone have any info on this?
Seymour Hersh – Oct. 12, 2023 – Netanyahu is Finished -- The Bibi doctrine—his belief that he could control Hamas—compromised Israeli security and has now begat a bloody war
Hamas was promoted and financed for years by “our beloved” Bibi, who believed that Arafat’s secular PLO was a more serious enemy. Hamas was also rejecting a two-state solution just like Bibi and his extremists who together with US sabotaged a two-state solution for decades
ps This Kucinich kerfuffle doesnt sound good. When he hired Kucinich, it only made sense because of his twice running for the Democratic nomination and being familiar with DNC shenanigans used to freeze out outsiders. Why doesnt Dennis come out and say, "As Bobby continues his run as an independent, I am no longer needed"?
I expect Kennedy’s lack of nuance & bloodthirsty support of Israel prior to all the details AND zero comment re the amount of subhuman statements bout the Palestinians is too much for Kucinich. Israel immediately bombed apartment towers, hospitals & schools. And ffs we know Netanyahu brags about his complete mRNA database & special 2 year deal with Pfizer.
I gave $$ starting in March when he asked if he should run. Today I’m OUT. Gave him a pass for lying about Roger Waters (whom met Julian Assange for first time recently) and never said anything about Covid. Kim Iverson had the interview we’ve been asking Bobby to do with a Jewish rabbi Fri night. Helped me finish the puzzle. Team Humanity. Now a Twit bot creator; daughter in law; & *former* CIA a bridge too far and so very sad
Having already been "out" for three months on this issue, and then rejoined on the basis of "still our best hope", I understand your decision. Completely understand. But I am going to hang in for a while longer. I don't want to be hasty again. I'm still at, "Trust the Bob." But it's hard to stand by while genetics professors at major Universities are calling Palestinians "not human" on X.

I am delighted reading an honest review or RFK Jr's platform and acknowledgement of his life's work in the service of humanity.

Please be careful!
Indeed there is a massive flood of loyalist who are rushing to get off the Democrat plantation.
There is no hope of redeeming the party at this point. It matter not what these pundits say as the fake news is just that. Who cares what they say??
MSM/legacy media is Done!!! The election will be won by Podcasts! And the Will of the people! Bobby is going to Crush the competition!👍😊
Yup Party prison break out fever spreading!
