“It is neither our position nor our circumstances that define us, according to the Stoics, but our response to those circumstances; when destiny crushes us, small heroic gestures of courage and service can bring us peace and fulfillment. In applying our shoulder to the stone, we give order to a chaotic universe.” — RFK, Jr.
Of course, Yahoo News, and all the rest of the in-the-tank news media greeted Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s presidential announcement by branding him a “noted-anti-vaxxer,” as if that’s a bad thing. Yes, noted, thank you very much. Reuters elaborated: “Kennedy has been banned from YouTube and Instagram for spreading misinformation about vaccines and the COVID-19 pandemic.” By now, whenever you see the agit-prop platitude spreading misinformation, does your brain not instantly translate that into telling the truth? And by now, does banishment from social media not tell you that certain guilty parties recognize a truth-teller when they see one?
Bobby Kennedy stepped up on Wednesday and gave a long and comprehensive speech so rich with historic resonance, intelligence, and flat-out bravery — in the face of, let’s face it, a Satanic opposition — that he made every other figure in this land aspiring to high office within memory look like quality-control rejects from evolution’s Homo sapiens assembly line. For 90-minutes in a Boston ballroom, RFK, Jr. told America the truth: that its entire matrix of leadership has laid one trip after another on our country going all the way back to the murders of his father and uncle, and he did it plainly, gently, humorously at times, but with an unmistakable gravitas and decorum that must scare the beJeezus out of the low life-forms currently running things.
Most of all, Bobby demonstrated that there is a way out of the bad-faith wilderness America has been lost in for years. He spoke to the audience in the ballroom, and to the country, in an adult conversational tone, without notes, as if he expected that voters would actually understand the problems we face: the wicked partnerships of corporations and governments to swindle and gaslight the public; the reckless military adventurism-for-profit campaign that has bankrupted the USA, now culminating in the Ukraine fiasco; the botched response to the Covid-19 episode and the chicanery that induced it; the insults to our ecosystem that are destroying the other organisms who live with us on this planet; and the financial chicanery that is driving America into inflation and bankruptcy. He reminded the nation of the good-faith efforts sixty years ago to end racial injustice — which has lately turned into a series of dispiriting hustles to promote antagonism and separation.
Bobby’s entry onto the national stage is already a shock to the political system, which is why the captive news media is trying so hard to squash the news about it. They know that he brings something to this game that can trip-up the players currently on-the-field and take the contest of 2024 in a wholly different direction than the owners of the game expected. Bobby’s confident adult demeanor at the podium alone is a reassuring and sharp contrast to the spookish mental vacancy of “Joe Biden” and the egotistic childishness of Mr. Trump. Voters will not fail to notice the difference, possibly even Woke Democrats lost in vaccine raptures and other cultish transports of self-righteousness.
I think RFK, Jr. sees very clearly the historical moment he represents. He’s keenly aware of the shade thrown over this land by the murders of his father and President Kennedy, and he has said flat-out in so many words that our own CIA was behind the dastardly acts. He was in a position to know the animus between JFK and the founding director of the CIA, Allen Dulles, and the reckless blunders of the agency and its partners in the Pentagon who buffaloed President Kennedy into the Bay of Pigs farce and then tried to drag him deeper into the Vietnam quagmire. JFK resisted that, threatened to shred the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter them to the four winds… and Allen Dulles whacked him. He got away with it the same way that today’s Intel “community” got away with RussiaGate and all their subsequent crimes. In short, Bobby Kennedy knows what it looks like when a government is at war against its own people.
Everybody I know is justifiably worried that the Intel spooks might have no qualms about whacking Bobby Jr. He is at least as dangerous to the establishment today as his father and uncle were back in their day. Thus, his bravery in stepping up now, knowing what he knows. At the least, he will drag a set of issues into the political arena that his rivals would prefer to keep out in the cold and dark. He’ll get some assistance from events themselves, which are spooling out fast now.
The Neocon’s Ukraine project had gone south. The result, which should be hugely embarrassing to our State and Defense departments, will be the paradox of Russia restoring order to a region that we wrecked on-purpose at great cost to the denizens of Ukraine — and, as Bobby pointed out, at great cost to the shattered American middle-class. America will also have to face all the criminal activities around the Covid-19 story: the machinations of Dr. Fauci and company in developing the virus and then the vaccines that proved to be so harmful and deadly; the stupid, disastrous lockdowns; and the government-directed censorship campaign against all and any voices in opposition to medical tyranny.
Most of all, the Democratic Party faces a severe reformation. It’s about to be dragged kicking and screaming out of the diabolical Woke hall-of-mirrors it gamboled into under the Clintons and Barack Obama. How those characters deal with the uncomfortable reality of RFK, Jr. will be something to behold. Finally, there is the news, straight from The New York Times, that “Joe Biden” intends to announce his reelection plans within days. The idea is preposterous, of course, the old grifter visibly oxidizing a little more each day in plain sight of the whole world.
In fact, it’s just another one of their lies, another trip they’re laying on America. The establishment Dems are actually prepping Gavin Newsom to run, another haircut-in-search-of-a-brain, like John Kerry before him. Governor Newsom: the man who almost overnight proudly turned California into a third world shithole. That’s who Bobby Kennedy will be debating, one way or another, in the many months ahead.

Kennedy Assassination…. The sequel?
A force has entered US politics in the last few years — Boomer Bashing.
What Kennedy says or believes isn’t very important if enough younger voters decide he’s just another boomer and vote for “whatever else”.
I think that’s what will happen.
He’s a brave man and the first thing he’s doing before he gets anywhere near the White House is he’s giving people another cause they can think upon, a different political direction. Even if never makes it that far and some of the people who listen to him will never vote for him, he will change the discourse about where America went wrong and where else it’s possible to go. But the timing may be fortuitous, because America is in peril and it needs some form of salvation.
I I think JFK, Jr. can be included on the list of assassinated Kennedys. Like his uncle Bobby he had an interest in investigating the death of his father.r
I suppose Dominion will still declare Biden the winner.
If America is meant to fall and God doesn’t believe you are worth saving Biden or some other rancid politician will win. Let’s hope some other country takes position one in the corruption stakes and RFK is elected President…
First of all though, let’s hope and pray he survives.
My deep concern is that by 2024 it will be too late to restore the Republic. And, even more my concern is that a good man will be assassinated for a country that no longer exists except in a dream.
Good luck to him. He must have people backing him, it will be hard for him to get into the running because I think msm will just ignore him to begin with leading to zero publicity, but maybe he has tested these waters out and thinks he could get exposure there.
The strange thing could be his biggest problems will appear if he is making headway, the main one trying to stay alive. I think the next president will be De Santis who has said and done a lot during the convid scam but will do nothing if elected. There will be elements in the cabal who will be pushing for Biden to be given a second term, but even they know that would take cheating to new levels and few would believe it. One good thing about RFK running is the psycho rat fauci would have been phoning his friends wanting reassurance if RFK did somehow win he would be safe.
He is himself, standing and delivering. Despite ALL adversities, adversaries and evils…
RESPECT!!!
I first heard of RFK, jnr during the Lockdown period of the 2020 Election, and thought he sounded literally too good to be true.
But he turns out to be real.
I have had an epiphany today, this in combination with the revelation here today of the Russian ‘Leadership’ selling out their own people, all for the WEF aims of The Usual Suspects ( Sorry, Les, I fully credit you for this formulation of words) [grin])
https://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=267938
What really set up this epiphany was an article I received and read this morning prior to going on tts.
I know I have banged on here about Prophecies linking the future to Russia, but I now appreciate how that might well be a drum I have banged on for far too long, and is not healthy, because it precludes the ability for all Peoples and Races within their own designated Regions of Birth, to make a difference.
‘Moreover, both Trump and Kennedy have proven that they are willing to disrupt their private lives of serenity, security and riches to serve in the trenches of international politics against the globalist juggernaut which the World Economic Forum seeks to use and permanently weaken the West.’

Says nothing about the invasion of the USA by millions of nonwhites…everything else is meaningless unless that is addressed–since ‘civilization’ will continue to disintegrate into third world multiracial anarchy..
Demonic used car salesman vs. nobilesse oblige. Should be interesting, hope Bobby has divine protection or at least a telepathic body guard.
Roger Stone, has suggested this has been floated, the idea of trump/RFK ticket makes complete sense.
