Congratulations to Robert F. Kennedy Jr on his declaration of candidacy for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination

I first and foremost wish to offer my full, and unconditional, support for the brave and inspiring decision of Robert Kennedy Jr. to declare in Boston a few days ago his determination to seek the nomination for president from the Democratic Party.
He spoke eloquently about the long fight against corporate power in the United States, starting with the battle against the British East India Company before the Revolutionary War—the father of MI6 and the grandfather of the CIA.
Although some suggested to me that I write a letter to Mr. Kennedy challenging him to a debate concerning those issues on which we diverge in perspective, and some even proposed that I offer some polite suggestions regarding certain policies that seem perhaps off the mark, I have rejected such temptations to dilute the importance of Mr. Kennedy’s campaign.
For us to have a leader in American politics who is permitted to address the corrupt relationship between government and corporations is a tremendous leap forward and I applaud Mr. Kennedy for his brave words.
Moreover, Mr. Kennedy’s work at the Childrens Health Defense Fund has been of incredible value for so many around the world, especially for me. I have learned so much from him and my speeches draw on the materials that he so kindly offers to the public on the Childrens Health Defense Fund website.
It is a great day indeed for all of us. And, I would like nothing better than to withdraw from the race for president, from the battle to restore the rule of law in the United States, and to return to my beloved books, to care for my family, and to attend to my aging mother.
I wish I could leave this battle to Mr. Kennedy; I wish I could just endorse him, and then work on his campaign.
But sadly, such a happy world is not what confronts us today.
Sadly, Mr. Kennedy’s declaration cannot, by the magic of language, transform the world.
Let me say simply that I will encourage Mr. Kennedy to join me, and I will do everything in my power to support him, and to comfort him, after he has been stabbed in the back and thrown in the trash by the Democratic Party, after he has been roasted beyond recognition by the pay-to-play corporate media that takes it as its job the psychological manipulation of the public, and will not even consider the search for truth or ethical righteousness.
I fear that there is no way for Mr. Kennedy to survive in a criminal syndicate like the Democratic Party that serves multinational banks and corporations and whose primary function is to introduce a bit of multicultural distraction to cover over the rape of America by billionaires and their loyal minions.
I most certainly understand Mr. Kennedy’s inspiration, especially in light the efforts of his father and his uncle in the 1960s to lead the United States in a more positive direction. I also was a student at Harvard and studied with inspiring and committed professors in a vanished age.
But there is no way to save the corrupt political system in the United States that has rendered the politicians of the Democratic and Republican parties as the pawns of the bankers.
There is no way forward without an international investigation of the 9.11 incident, of the massive medical fraud carried out at the request of billionaires and bankers with the intention to destroy the bodies and the minds of citizens as part of operation COVID19.
This military operation against the citizens of the United States, based on concrete plans prepared at DARPA, cannot be described merely as the sale of unsafe vaccines and the responsibility for this world war (of silent weapons for quiet wars) cannot in its full form be laid at the feet of the puppet Dr. Anthony Fauci.
There is no way forward for America without a complete rejection of the unconstitutional and blatantly criminal manner in which the Federal government, and increasingly local government, are run by private IT contractors, private intelligence and security firms, and a host of other parasitic organizations, in the US, in Israel, and around the world, reporting to the rich in violation of our sacred constitution.
I know how smart Mr. Kennedy is from reading his thoughtful writings on the environment, on nuclear energy, on the false uses of the term “renewable energy,” and on the abuse of corporate power. I have the ultimate respect for his intellect and his brave soul.
I have no doubt that once he starts a campaign in earnest, he soon will discover that there is no way to run such a “politics of truth” campaign within the confines of the Democratic Party, even on a sunny day.
Again, let me congratulate Mr. Kennedy on his excellent speech, his inspiring vision, and his leadership in this age of darkness. I will be waiting, we will be waiting, for the moment when he takes his vision to its logical conclusion and joins with us.
