Everyone who comes to hear RFK, Jr. announce his run for 2024 will make it that much harder for "our free press" to laugh it off (along with all the rest of us)

There shouldn't be one empty seat in that big room at the Boston Park Plaza, because, if there is, the media will run a picture of it, along with lots of damning misquotations of what Bobby says

A few thoughts on Bobby’s run, suggested by some comments on my post about the big event next Wednesday, in Boston (once known—lest we forget, or didn’t know—as “the Cradle of Liberty”):

Some have despairingly protested that there’s no point in supporting Bobby’s run, because he can’t possibly win, what with the powers ranged against him, etc.

To this I say, first, that, even though, or if, that’s true, it doesn’t matter overall, since Bobby’s part in the campaign will force our biggest problems onto the national agenda, right when we most need to be addressing them, and which we haven’t been allowed to talk about, because “our free press” has dismissed them as “conspiracy theory.”

Those problems include the toll of “vaccination”; the health risks of 5G, and EMF in general; the corruption of both medicine and science, along with “higher education,” by corporate and dynastic wealth (Big Pharma and the corporate “healthcare” colossus; the wireless juggernaut; and—still—the military-industrial complex); the existential threat to freedom posed by the excuse of “national emergency,” with its total cancelation of democratic procedures, its inescapable surveillance and its persecution of all those who won’t comply; the toxic impact of agribusiness and the poisons in our food; and—last but by no means least—the nullification of American electoral democracy by our abysmal voting system (the worst in the developed world).

This last problem has bedeviled us since 1964, whose presidential contest was the first to see the use of computerized vote-counting. (Why 1964? Think about it.) And ever since that fatal turn, it’s been impossible to talk about it without getting mocked and canceled, nor (therefore) would “our free press” ever talk about it (except to shriek, psychotically, that Russia was the problem). Thus this taboo did not begin with the “election” of “Joe Biden,” but has been in place since the first step away from using paper ballots, and counting them by hand, out in the open. Since Bobby grasps the urgency of this key issue—he wrote two first-rate articles about it in 2006—he has the inclination, and the chops, to deal with it at last, especially since he’ll now be a candidate himself; and, crucially, he’ll deal with it not as a Democratic hack—like, say, Bernie Sanders, whose grass-roots supporters were twice robbed of his victory in the Democratic primaries, yet he has never said a single word about it. As one who cherishes the promise of American democracy, and who will therefore always place it over party loyalty, Bobby would, or will, be able to discuss the need for radical reform of our preposterous voting system in a way that “both sides”—all sides—would accept.

Here are two good pieces by my friends Meryl Nass and Celia Farber—Meryl on the urgent need to fill that room on Wednesday, and Celia on the strength of Bobby’s character, and his all-too-rare ability to speak for a position without demonizing those who stand against it.

That is certainly the kind of candidate we very badly need, now that we’ve all been so ingeniously divided by the monsters at the top, who want us at each other’s throats instead of Theirs.
