RFK Jr is a quantum leap above the current field of Presidential candidates.. and there are a couple of good ones..but the Decay found in our Nation today from the Environment to Political and most other aspects of our Society require Major surgery.. RFK Jr commands the Wisdom, Compassion, and Skill set to do it..
God Bless all efforts to help him get in the White House.. We Can Do it!
Thanks for all the info on Mr Kennedy and his other environmental achievements. I was only aware of the Hudson River and Bayer/ Monsanto cases. Yes he will be the best leader for our environment. To all the questioners of his positions on peace, I too want all leaders to call for cease fires in all violent conflicts. Negotiations are the only road to lasting peace. I trust the very intelligent Mr Kennedy to come to a similar conclusion.
Sadly, RFK Jr. has doubled down on his support for Israel and its genocidal treatment of non-Jews in Palestine. I don't think he'll "come to a similar conclusion".
If we are all dead from WW3, what would it matter ... I thought RFK was anti-war ... please don’t attack me as I stand with the people, not the governments
I agree with you Julie. I've been an RFK Jr supporter for many years now as I've been following the vaccine issue very closely. But now WHY IS HE NOT SPEAKING OUT AGAINST NETANYAHU? WHY IS HE NOT CALLING FOR A CEASE FIRE? WHY IS HE NOT ASKING ALL THE PERTINENT QUESTIONS LIKE; how does, arguably one of the most advanced border security, get broken through in so many places yet no response from the military? When I see what's happening with all the major candidates supporting Israel I gotta believe that something smells very fishy. When you combine that with the fact that Netanyahu offered up the entire country to Pfizer as a medical experiment.
I agree with you completely. The only thing that makes sense is that he doesn’t call out Bibi for the same reasons he doesn’t call out Biden or Trump. He simply doesn’t go there with people. He might talk about the administration though. Why not call out the government of Israel along with Hamas is the operative question.
Even naming government entities or organizations and specifically calling out their failings and how he’d address the situation differently would help clarify things.
I guess I’m specifically referring to the war between Israel & Hamas. I may have missed it but I haven’t seen anything about it other than full support for Israel. I’ve for sure seen other comments on other policy issues.
If RFK jr wants to be President he needs to address the unrealistic goals of the greens and most climate activists. He needs a lot of votes from folks that do not believe in that religion and will reject him if he only preaches to the choir. Promise to protect the use of fossil fuels until there is a proven technology that can provide the energy needed without massive government subsidies. Promise that the Government will not take land via regulations of ditches that feed a stream that feeds a creek that feeds a river that feeds a river that the clean water bills actually applies too. Promise to have congress explicitly pass a law stating that the chevron defense as it’s currently being interpreted is unconstitutional as it gives the executive branch the role of legislative and judicial branches.
So many errors with what you wrote in one short paragraph that it's hard to know where to start a reply.
Environmental awareness is not a religion; but a heeding of the reality of nature and the sciences that are designed to understand it. (In this regard, your chosen username is highly ironic!!)
Climate destabilization is already observable; and the nexus between it and human activities is well understood. To ignore all of this IS the definition of 'religion' for it demands one ignore science and choose instead, one's beliefs - beliefs that are incongruent with all the observable facts and with any logical analysis thereof.
Government doesn't "take land" via regulations. In fact, the 5th Amendment prevents this and in fact, all courts have made clear that land can't be taken by government (without due process and compensation), and that "takings" only take place outside of that restriction if a government denies ANY FEASIBLE USE of a property. Say you buy a plot of land, maybe a farm say, and you want to put in an oil refinery, or some other use that is not already defined in the applicable land use codes. The applicable government need not give approval (as it would impact very many other surrounding land-owners, and is not already zoned for it) , without fear of its denial being determined a "taking" under that 5th Amendment. After all, the zoning or other applicable codes would allow (presumably) other uses... including using it as it already had been.
Finishing his book this morning, "American Values". I have no doubt this man can accomplish almost anything. He has proven time and time again through his actions, who he is at the core. Can he do it alone? No one does anything alone.
We all have a part in an inhabitable and peaceful world. But it doesn't just take outward action, it's an inside job also. Out instincts to blame, attack and control are just signposts to the violence within us.
If it's in one, it's in all. But it can be absolved. VIEQUES!
"American Values" is one of the most beautiful enriching instructive and inspiring books I've ever read. Just sent a copy to my brother (who is a Republican and loved JFK & RFK) in the hospital. Everyone should read this book along with Dick Russell's book,
" The Real RFK JR
TRIALS OF A TRUTH WARRIOR". These magnificent books tell you everything you need to know about why this beautiful man is more than qualified to be one of the greatest presidents in the history of the country.
The chemtrails and telecom infrastructure are destroying the planet and that is corporate destruction allowed by criminal governments. Is it true that only one company does water treatment for U.S., it is out of Germany and refuses to disclose what is in their products? WHO is a criminal organisation and I believe set up from day one to orchestrate eugenics, seeing that who developed it from the beginning were eugenicists and Fabians.
I hear you on THAT, Sister! I am much more drawn to the light! But it's so crucial that we all know the Truth about Fauci ; about everything. It's a requirement for the people taking their power back!
I've been an RFK Jr supporter for many years now, pre-Covid as I've been following the vaccine issue very closely. But now WHY IS RFK Jr. NOT SPEAKING OUT AGAINST NETANYAHU? WHY IS HE NOT CALLING FOR A CEASE FIRE? WHY IS HE NOT ASKING ALL THE PERTINENT QUESTIONS LIKE; how does, arguably one of the most advanced border security, get broken through in so many places yet no response from the military for so many hours? When I see what's happening with all the major candidates supporting Israel I gotta believe that something smells very fishy. When you combine that with the fact that Netanyahu offered up the entire country to Pfizer as a medical experiment one should wonder just what is the source of the crimes against humanity that we've witnessed over the pasy 4 years.
I, too admired RFK Jr. when I learned of his work for the RiverKeepers; as I myself was for decades an environmental advocate, activist, organizer and leader.
Yet I also have been, for an even longer period, an anti-war (peace) activist and anti-imperialist. I've dug in deeply over that span about US Foreign policy, the extent and modes of operation of its imperialism, and the extent of its control by private entities that profit from it.
In fact, there are two existential threats that we face as growing emergencies now; and there is a nexus between them. One is the dangerous destabilization of the climate control system, which we call "climate change". We are collectively pushing it rapidly now towards a point of chaos. For those who don't understand chaos theory, it effectively means that there is no order nor predictability of effects or outcomes; and therefore no effective way of putting things back "together". It is an existential threat for the entire biosphere, because all of the species that have co-evolved under the climate conditions we've henceforth enjoyed were able to do that ONLY because of the stable boundaries of climate; boundaries of which we have suddenly broken through.
The second is, of course thermonuclear war, to which we are moving ever closer as the neocons of Washington continue in their desperation to maintain the Empire's global hegemony. The more desperate they become (as the balance of economic and technological power changes), the more dangerous.
The nexus between these dual threats, however, is strong. It is itself due to two aspects of the growing wars and conflicts triggered by the Empire's desperation. For one, the fiscal cost to the U.S. of trying to hold on to its hegemony is immense, with so-called 'defense' spending consuming the lion's share of all discretionary funding. (It also consumes a healthy chunk of the non-discretionary spending, such as in payments for past debt, funding of past wars and liabilities such as veterans' benefits, etc.) This leaves very little for spending on such things as conservation, investments in energy conservation, the development of better technologies to supplant the fossil-fueled systems we have, etc. It also, however, makes global collaboration on this greatest emergency even less possible; and climate destabilization is global in scope so it can ONLY be resolved with the collaboration and cooperation of all nations. As the Empire cleaves the world into the Empire (with its vassal states) and the "enemy" states, this is all but impossible to achieve.
What does this have to do with RFK Jr., one might ask? After all, he's recognized that the Ukraine project is dangerous and that we shouldn't be perpetuating it (in the neocons' scripted plan to 'bleed" Russia in a quagmire). Yet when it comes to the other most active flashpoint, he is oblivious. He defends Israel in its ongoing genocide against the non-Jewish Palestinians; defends seemingly unlimited arms for it and funding for it. Yet Israel/Palestine is just another aspect of the Washington-centered Empire's policy. Israel, in this case, represents a 'client' and proxy in the imperial quest to retain the entirely arbitrary (and fictional) "Rules Based Order" in which Washington makes the rules and gives the orders; all of which are to secure the control over resources and markets for U.S. and other Western (i.e. pro-Empire) corporations and the oligarchs who own them.
RFK Jr. is unapologetic and unconditional in his support for the Zionists; and has doubled down on it, calling the Palestinians, "the most pampered people on Earth", completely ignoring the decades of systemic denial of religious intolerance and denial of civil rights, and open murder now reaching the scale of genocide in Gaza and Rafah. He completely ignores that the the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has suggested Israel's actions are genocidal, and that Israel must end its occupations.
Given the obvious inconsistency in RFK Jr.'s positions vis a vis all of this, I find it hard for anyone to endorse him as President. How can one trust that they know anything at all about his convictions or that he won't sell out his former allies in the environmental movement?
In the 90s, RFK Jr. helped stop what would have been a highly destructive salt mine from being established on the Baja California Peninsula and in so doing helped to protect the Grey Whale calving grounds of Magdalena Bay. Furthermore, his WaterKeeper Alliance is active throughout the world, providing invaluable monitoring of water quality in all kinds of water bodies, from rivers to streams, bays and lakes.
As a third party candidate for POTUS, JFKJr. has the opportunity o distinguish himself from his Republican and Democratic Party opponents in the logicality of the method by which he would formulate proposals for either regulating physical systems not currently regulated by the Federal government or deregulating physical systems currently regulated by this government. For this method to be logical it must satisfy all three of Aristotle's Laws of Thought.
Satisfaction of all three of these Laws follows from conformity to certain Principles of Reasoning in selection of the set of inferences that will be made by a model of the physical system that is to be regulated or deregulated that are the solution to The Problem of Induction. The problem is of how, in a logically permissible way, to select that set of inferences that will be made by this model from a larger set of possibilities. The opportunity for JFKJr. to outperform his Democratic and Republican Party rivals lies in the fact that Th Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy currently states that the Problem of Induction lacks a solution and this statement is incorrect for a solutions to this problem is described in the seven volume Entropy Minimax Sourcebook by the late theoretical physicist Ronald Arlie Christensen.
But his uncle built dams to provide more infrastructure needed to raise local economies. I'm confused on this as the Gov. of California has been destroying dams and the whole state in the process. I can't speak to Peru specifically but their development has been suppressed, hindered, like many other nations. Maybe you can explain it to me.
Yes. I hope whoever is president makes him head of the EPA. I never thought I'd say this but at this moment there are issues even more important than the environment: stopping the genocide in Gaza and abolishing nuclear weapons. Banning AI.
I'm sure that when RFK Jr is president he will appoint just the right person to run the EPA. A protector who shares his values who can't be captured by the Darkside!
We little people can only pray
Don't sell yourself short! You are the Light of the World!
It's in every one of us and we have been given great power to accomplish great things for the good of all!

Good point Camille. But perhaps he needs to start naming names.
Even naming government entities or organizations and specifically calling out their failings and how he’d address the situation differently would help clarify things.

I am reading TRIALS OF A TRUTH WARRIOR now (excited), as "The Real Anthony Fauci", is one I need to put down after a chapter and come back to!
The chemtrails and telecom infrastructure are destroying the planet and that is corporate destruction allowed by criminal governments. Is it true that only one company does water treatment for U.S., it is out of Germany and refuses to disclose what is in their products? WHO is a criminal organisation and I believe set up from day one to orchestrate eugenics, seeing that who developed it from the beginning were eugenicists and Fabians.
I thought he was too. I guess Bombing Woman and Children with Depleted Uranium Bombs and a Huge amount of Bombs and Missiles is Environmental? INSANE!
Wishing you good fortune US for JFK Ir's presidential succees.
Why should I who live in Central Africa care?
Because the world needs his leadership,
What a man
