Monday News Round Up – At the Four Month Mark, RFK Jr. Continues to Campaign on the Truth.

“Despite amassing great wealth and being born into the elite class, he has willingly chosen to be an outsider by shining a light on the unholy, totalitarian convergence between the federal government and big tech, big pharma, and the nonprofit sector. No matter the attacks on him, his courage does not appear to be corruptible. He is a man of virtue who is not afraid to question the consensus and push the envelope to arrive at the hidden truth.” – Karys Rhea writing for Israel Hayom

We start the new week off with this thoughtful commentary by Karys Rhea, writing for Israel Hayom - Who is RFK Jr.? – Israel Hayom. Rhea explains that RFK, Jr. is a man committed to finding the truth, even when doing so places him at odds with popular consensus or established dogma.   

As we begin month five of the campaign, Kennedy remains committed to looking every American in the eye and telling them the truth about the corrupt alliance between corporations and government that has fleeced the middle class, the truth about the war in Ukraine, government censorship, the epidemic of childhood diseases and the hard work that awaits us in healing our divided nation.

We are advised that President Biden intends to campaign on his economic policies. We live in confounding economic times. The administration touts slowing inflation and the availability of some jobs, but gas prices are soaring, food is too expensive and hardworking Americans are buried in credit card debt, struggling to pay their bills. This white paper lays out the problems middle class Americans are dealing with - A Guide to U.S. Economic Inequality | American Compass. Is this not what RFK, Jr. is describing?

We wrap with the excellent investigative journalism of Lee Fang on substack - Hawaiian Electric, While Failing to Act on Fire Prevention, Had Cozy Ties to Regulators (leefang.com). At the end of the article, Fang points to some of the same factors that RFK Jr. noted in his recent article in his American Values substack - Maui’s Tragic Wildfires Remind Us of Need to Restore Our Environment, Heal Our Divide (substack.com). When RFK Jr. points to the corrupt merger of state and corporate power, this is exactly what he is talking about. A vibrant private sector needs real government regulation. This is why the reform Kennedy is calling for is so desperately needed.

As we start month five of the campaign, let us not be complacent. We have work to do.
