Given today’s grim news, it is important to remember that RFK Jr.’s first major speech in his campaign was about making peace a central focus of his administration – “Peace for All Time” | Running on Truth | Episode 3 | Kennedy24.

On Kennedy being an independent candidate: The week was full of stories about whether RFK Jr. hurts Biden or Trump more. Douglas MacKinnon at The Hill presents a different perspective: “Are the political sands now shifting enough to make a Kennedy victory possible? Evidence seems to be mounting.” – An RFK Jr. third-party run would hurt Trump while building upon his 2016 success | The Hill. “We must ask: Would the DNC actually prefer a Trump victory to one from RFK Jr., out of allegiance to either the Biden White House or the donor class that keeps it in business? No matter its ultimate motivations, the DNC has clearly and purposefully painted Kennedy into a corner — from which he now appears resolved to reposition his campaign to amplify his vision for the nation.”

Media scrutiny:
This NBC article claims that RFK Jr. does not understand the DNC rules and “ignores superdelegate reforms implemented after the 2016 election to prevent that exact situation” – Robert F. Kennedy is headed for a breakup with the Democratic Party | NBC News. What is interesting here is that NBC makes no mention of shocking corruption perpetrated by then DNC chair (now congresswoman) Debbie Wasserman Schultz in that “exact situation” in which the presidential nomination was stolen from Vermont senator Bernie Sanders.

As our readers likely realize, we analyze the mainstream media pretty thoroughly. It is amazing how little media attention was focused on the DNC shenanigans around the 2016 election. One gets the sense that the DNC-aligned media quietly acknowledges (when they have to) that something unpleasant happened to Senator Sanders in 2016 during the Democratic Party presidential nomination process but that “everything is fine now and let’s move on.” What happened is the DNC gave the nomination to Hillary Clinton even though Bernie Sanders won it.
And what the DNC-aligned media never admit is that many of those disenfranchised Sanders voters voted for Donald Trump – Bernie Sanders Voters Helped Trump Win and Here’s Proof | Newsweek.
RFK Jr. sought to reform the Democratic Party and restore it to the principles of his father and uncle. The DNC and their media partners stand with the party donors.

What is the answer to violence? What is the answer to endless war?
On April 4, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy spoke to a majority black crowd in Indianapolis on the night of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination: Indianapolis, 1968: Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King and a historic call for peace | Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights.
"What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness, but is love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice towards those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black." – Robert F. Kennedy
That night, as riots and violence erupted around the country, Indianapolis remained peaceful.

Kennedy also needs to bring up the huge elephant in the room.
Voting is rigged by closed source proprietary electronic voting machines.
Both sides ignore this and instead pick on mail in ballots and voter ID issues as the way to rig an election. Why do they ignore that these companies can easily rig the vote and no hacking needed as they can access their own closed code and nobody would be able to see what's happening.
Kennedy, please bring this up because Trump won't and Democrats won't.
.....and what about the Palestinians? Is that a Peace stance?
