U.S. citizens: Demand Congress investigate soaring excess death rates
(LifeSiteNews) — In an epic takedown of the Democratic Party and the government agencies and media that collude with it, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – scion of the famed Kennedy family that attained aristocratic status during the last century – said three great causes drove him to leave the Democratic Party to run as an independent, “and now to throw my support to President Trump: Free speech, the War in Ukraine, and the war on our children.”
Later in the day, Kennedy appeared on stage with former President Donald Trump at a Phoenix campaign rally to display his commitment to the Trump campaign, likely portending a key role for the former Democrat in a future Trump administration.
“I attended my first Democratic convention at the age of six in 1960. Back then, the Democrats were the champions of the Constitution, of civil rights,” Kennedy explained at the outset of his press conference. “The Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship, against colonialism, imperialism, and unjust wars.”
“We were the party of labor, the working class. The Democrats were the party of government transparency and the champion of the environment,” he continued. “Our party was the bulwark against big money interests and corporate power. True to its name, it was the party of Democracy.”
He said he left the Democratic Party last October because it had “departed so dramatically from the core values that I grew up with” and became “the party of war, censorship, corruption, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag, and Big Money.”
“When it abandoned Democracy by canceling the primary to conceal the cognitive decline of the sitting president, I left the party to run as an Independent.”
He lamented how the political system in the U.S. has become corrupted over the decades since his father, Sen. Robert Kennedy and his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, held political office before both were assassinated.
“While democracy may still be alive at the grassroots, it has become little more than a slogan for our political institutions, for our media, for our government, and most sadly for me, the Democratic Party,” he said.
In the name of saving Democracy, the Democratic Party set itself to dismantling it. Lacking confidence in its candidate, that its candidate could win in a fair election at the voting booth, the DNC (Democratic National Committee) waged continual legal warfare against both President Trump and myself.
The DNC dragged us into courts, state after state, attempting to erase (the signature gathering efforts of his campaign volunteers) and to subvert the will of the voters who had signed those petitions. It deployed DNC-aligned judges to throw me and other candidates off the ballot, and to throw President Trump in jail.
It ran a sham primary, rigged to prevent any serious challenge to President Biden.
Then when a predictably bungled debate performance precipitated the palace coup against President Biden, the same shadowy DNC operatives appointed his successor, also without an election.
They installed a candidate who was so unpopular with voters that she dropped out in 2020 without winning a single delegate.
My uncle and my father both relished debate. They prided themselves on their capacity to go toe to toe with any opponent in the battle over ideas.
They would be astonished to learn of a Democratic Party presidential nominee, like Vice President Harris, has not appeared in a single interview or an unscripted encounter with voters for 35 days. This is profoundly undemocratic.…
Instead of showing us her substance and character, the DNC and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for Vice President Harris based upon … nothing: No policies, no interviews, no debates. Only smoke and mirrors. And balloons. And (a) highly produced Chicago circus (where) a string of Democratic speakers mentioned Donald Trump 147 times, just on the first day.
Who needs a policy when you have Trump to hate?
In contrast, President Biden was mentioned only twice in four days.…
How did the Democratic Party choose a candidate that has never done an interview or a debate during the entire election cycle?
We know the answers: They did it by weaponizing the government agencies, by abandoning democracy, by suing the opposition, and by disenfranchising American voters.
What most alarms me isn’t how the Democratic Party conducts its internal affairs or runs its candidates. What alarms me is (they) resort to censorship and media control, and the weaponization of the federal agencies.
When a U.S. President colludes with, or outright coerces media companies to censor political speech, it’s an attack on our most sacred right of free expression, and that’s the very right upon which all of our other constitutional rights rest.
Kennedy turned his attention to members of the press assembled in front of him and asked them to consider “the many ways your institutions have abdicated the sacred responsibility, the duty of the free press to safeguard democracy.”
“Your institutions have made themselves government mouthpieces and stenographers for the organs of power,” Kennedy said. “You didn’t alone cause the devolution of American democracy, but you could’ve prevented it.”
“The mainstream media was once the guardian of the first amendment and democratic principles, (but) it’s joined this systemic attack on democracy,” he declared. “The media justifies their censorship on the grounds of combating ‘misinformation,’ but governments and oppressors don’t’ censor lies – they don’t’ fear lies – they fear the truth. That’s what they censor.
“Are we really still a role model for democracy in this country,” Kennedy asked, “or have we made it a joke?
Kennedy said that three great causes drove him to enter this race and leave the Democratic Party and run as an Independent “and now to throw my support to President Trump: free speech, the war in Ukraine, and the war on our children.”
He explained that while he and Trump retain disagreements on some issues, they see eye to eye on those that are the biggest threats to the nation. “Ending the forever wars, ending the childhood disease epidemic, securing the border, protecting freedom of speech, unraveling the corporate capture of our regulatory agencies, getting the U.S. intelligence agencies out of the business of propagandizing, censoring, and surveilling Americans and interfering with our elections.
“Ultimately, the only thing that will save our country – and our children – is if we choose to love our kids more than we hate each other.”
