An appreciative and receptive audience, Kennedy\u2019s provided a wide ranging extraordinary presentation on a variety of formidable topics beginning with his efforts on behalf of the Hudson River Riverkeepers to clean up industrial pollution.<\/p>\n<p>He especially focused on collusion between regulatory \u2018captured\u2019 state-federal agencies and powerful corporations like big Pharma, detailing the impacts of mercury and DPT vaccines on children and his experiences with Dr. Fauci. Kennedy outlined Covid related attacks on the Constitution including government imposed \u2018<em>arbitrary and capricious\u2019<\/em> censorship to limit conversation about the truth of Covid including violations of freedom of assembly, enforced social distance w\/no due process,\u00a0 compulsory closing of churches with no supporting science and reiterated that \u2018<em>the Constitution is the heart and soul of this country<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adding that President Reagan\u2019s agreement to provide full <a href=\"http:\/\/sonorannews.com\/2017\/07\/03\/vaccine-manufacturers-exempt-liability\/\">vaccine immunity<\/a> as a liability shield (due to \u201c<em>unavoidable adverse side effects<\/em>\u201d) allowed that vaccines are the only medical product never required to conduct pre-licensing safety studies as Big Pharma has paid $35 billion in criminal penalties in last ten years. In addition, Kennedy cited a 1989 explosion in chronic health issues for children related to mandated vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>As a lifelong student of the CIA, Kennedy identified the role of his grandfather, Joseph P. Kennedy, former US Ambassador to the UK, who served on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/review-of-politics\/article\/abs\/reports-of-the-hoover-commission\/A1943390B3A356485F6A2EBEE5C10076\">Hoover Commission<\/a> and voted to disband the CIA; thus beginning a sixty year Kennedy family fight with the CIA which led RFK to write \u201c<em>American Values: Lessons Learned from my Family.<\/em>\u201d He identified the CIA in developing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wgbh\/americanexperience\/features\/weapon-timeline\/\">bioweapon<\/a>s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/magazine\/story\/2019\/09\/15\/cia-fort-detrick-stephen-kinzer-228109\/\">at Ft.

In fairness, the bureaucrats rolled him on it; he did not want to do it. But that it not a good enough excuse. He was President of the United States. In May 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/462319362\/A-Doctor-a-Day-Letter-Signed\">six hundred doctors<\/a> sent a letter to Trump asking him to not do the lockdowns.\u201d\u00a0 He said \u201cbureaucrats were coming after him; he had the right instincts.\u00a0 He knew he shouldn\u2019t close down the country but he didn\u2019t; he got rolled by his bureaucracy. At this time in history, you need a President who can stand up to his bureaucracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy pointed to Trump\u2019s appointment of Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a well known\u00a0 physician with ties to the pharmaceutical industry as an FDA Commissioner\u00a0 in March, 2017 to eliminate some of the agency\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2017\/03\/10\/politics\/scott-gottlieb-donald-trump-fda\/index.html\">regulatory burdens<\/a>\u201d.

Kennedy identified the \u201c<em>corporate kleptocracy <\/em>as a<em>\u2018cushy socialism for the rich\u2019 and a \u2018brutal merciless capitalism for the poor.<\/em>\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He continued<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cIt keeps us in a state of \u00a0war, it bails out banks. Last month the Federal government told 30 million Americans they were cutting their food stamp checks by 90%. It took fifteen million people off Medicare, the same month it gave $300 million to the Silicon Valley Bank and tapped up cost of the Ukraine war to $113 billion. The entire budget of EPA is $12 billion, the CDC budget is $11 billion. The way we do this is printing money; we printed ten centuries of money in the last fourteen years.\u201d We have raised food prices for basic foods like chicken, dairy, milk\u00a0 by 76% in the last two years and now we\u2019re cutting food stamps and bailing out banks in the same month. We need to get rid of this corporate control of our government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>RFK\u2019s appearance at Dartmouth was nothing short of a brilliant analysis as, given that the topic was part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedartmouth.com\/article\/2023\/05\/han-concerned-alumni-of-dartmouth-host-sold-out-covid-19-vaccine-discussion-panel-and-robert-f-kennedy-jr-at-hanover-inn\">larger conference<\/a>, he focused exclusively on health issues as related to government-industry collusion, the perversion of the science by government regulators, the explosion of chronic childhood diseases and that \u2018<em>vaccine effects are impervious to the facts or reality<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>RFK provided shocking and disturbing numbers as he is adamant that lockdown was not a success but an economic catastrophe that cost the US $16 Trillion according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/coronavirus-pandemic-cost-americans-16-trillion\/\">Harvard Study<\/a> with a massive GDP drop for the next ten years. With<em> 4.2<\/em>% of the world population, the US had 16% of <a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jama\/fullarticle\/2771841\">covid deaths<\/a> shifting $4 Trillion from the American middle class to billionaires as 41% <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/08\/04\/economy\/black-business-coronavirus-study\/index.html\">black businesses<\/a> shut down permanently. Toddlers lost 22 IQ points during lockdown and many in need of remedial attention. The CDC revised its milestones that a toddler no longer walk at one year but now walk at 1.5 years.<\/p>\n<p>Most impressive has been the quality of Kennedy\u2019s scholarship, the level of his ability to identify essential data to his audience with no slipping and sliding around the unpleasant facts; never hesitating to be straight, true and factual in the belief that all citizens needed to have access to the same information he is familiar with.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, RFK:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cAny power that government takes will never be returned voluntarily, every power government will abuse to the max possible and no one ever complied their way out of totalitarianism = the only way is to resist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Renee Parsons<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0served on the ACLU\u2019s Florida State Board of Directors and as president of the ACLU Treasure Coast Chapter.
