Robert Kennedy Jr Endorses Trump & Steals Momentum from Democrats

- A Radical Dispatch

1) Robert Kennedy Jr endorses Trump

As the DNC rally came to an end with Kamala Harris securing the presidential nomination without a vote, Trump’s relatively stalled campaign received a boost by the endorsement of the instantly recognisable Democratic party family brand of Robert Kennedy (RFK) Jr.

Trump: “I don't think too many of you people have heard of him. He's very low-key. He's a very low-key person, but he's highly respected. He is a great person. I've known him for so long. For the past 16 months, Robert F. Kennedy Jr… man, woah, and he deserves it, he deserves it. [Crowd chants: USA, USA, USA]”

During his campaign, RFK Jr peaked at around 10-15% in some national polls with a low of around 3%, finally settling at around 5% but declining after the unelected Harris replaced Biden for the Democrats. But that 5% for RFK Jr is crucial to move certain key swing states in Trump’s favour.

The Independent reports 24th August 2024:

2) Robert Kennedy Jr’s critique of the Democrats

Upon announcing his decision, RFK Jr. explained what drove him away from the Democrats and into the arms of the MAGA campaign. His concerns may be best summarised as below.

Click to play:

RFK Jr: “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. The Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship, against colonialism, imperialism, and unjust wars. We were the party of labor, of the working class. The Democrats were the party of government transparency and the champion of the environment. Our party was the bulwark against big money interests and corporate power. True to its name, it was the party of democracy. As you know, I left that party in October because it had departed so dramatically from the core values that I grew up with. It had become the party of war, censorship, corruption, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag, and Big Money. When it abandoned democracy by cancelling the primary to conceal the cognitive decline of the sitting president, I left the party to run as an independent. The mainstream of American politics and journalism derided my decision. Conventional wisdom said that it would be impossible even to get on the ballot as an independent because each state poses an insurmountable tangle of arbitrary rules for collecting signatures. I would need over a million signatures, something no presidential candidate in history had ever achieved. And then I'd need a team of attorneys and millions of dollars to handle all the legal challenges from the DNC. The naysayers told us that we were climbing a glass version of Mount Impossible. So the first thing I want to tell you is that we proved them wrong. We did it because beneath the radar of mainstream media organs, we inspired a massive independent political movement.”

As most independently minded critical thinkers will accept, and regardless of what one thinks of the MAGA campaign, RFK Jr’s criticism of the Democratic party is impactful because it is based in truth.

This is correct. And the neo-cons are the US-wing of the globalists. The Democratic party under Biden uncritically and unequivocally supported both the war in Ukraine and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by Netanyahu in Gaza. Much of the rank and file membership are themselves upset at the DNC’s sheer refusal to stop taking sides in foreign wars.

The experience of the now disbanded ‘Muslim Women for Harris-Walz’ is a case in point.

“The family of the Israeli hostage that was on stage tonight has shown more empathy towards Palestinian-Americans and Palestinians than our candidate or the DNC has”

It is because his criticisms land that RFK Jr has been so roundly attacked by corporate media. CNN even cut away from their live feed when RFK Jr began to talk about the lack of a primary election to select Kamala Harris.

Click to play:

RFK Jr: “It’s a 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 relish 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 who, like Vice President Harris, has not appeared in a single interview. Or an unscripted encounter with voters for 35 ... [live feed cut away]”

CNN host: “We've been listening to independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from Phoenix outlining what led him to his quixotic quest for the White House to now dropping out and relinquishing the title of Democrat. He had a series of complaints about the party. We're, of course, going to continue watching his remarks. There's a back and forth over whether he's going to endorse former President Donald Trump. We're going to break that down on the other side of a quick break. Stay with CNN.”

Note RFK Jr’s use of the phrase ‘palace coup’, where have we heard that before?

But no matter how much corporate media seeks to silence dissident voices, the message is now almost impossible to ignore. So much so that dismissed CNN anchor Chris Cuomo couldn’t resist agreeing on the nature of the Big Money takeover of the Democratic National Congress (DNC).

Click to play:

Broadcaster Chris Cuomo: “A big theme here, at the DNC is that they're going to go after corporate gouging, and they're going to go after corporations, whether it's in taxes, largesse, loopholes. The RNC, we heard the same thing. They're going after the elites, the two sets of rules. Let me reveal a reality to you that has to be spoken to here, okay? These are the soldiers. These are the men and the women that go back to their constituencies and their communities, and they fight. They take time from their jobs. They take time from their families. Republicans and Democrats alike, that's what they do. They need to charge these people up. They need to be able to get them on board. But there is another reality that is literally looking down on them.

Greg, look at the ring of suites, okay? This is not unique to Democrats. There is a game of money. When people talk about uniparty, We are strangled by the money reality in our politics. Those suites start at 500 grand. You think there's like a teacher group up in there? You think it's like the Cub Scouts of Columbia County, South Carolina, that's up in those boxes? Some of them are lobbies and good things. The media boxes, you think they're free? Why do you think I'm on the floor? News Nation is not a broke company. Nextar is a massive organisation. We are corporate media. We don't have one of those boxes because that's the game. You pay to play. Those boxes are filled with the same people that they say they're going to regulate. They are literally looking down on the faithful and being told, yeah, yeah, we're going to break down on them. We're going to make them pay their share. They paid 500, 700, a million, a million and a half to have those seats. They get hotel suites that are probably gifted to the party. And the same thing is true with the Republican side. And they're going to take them down? They're going to change how it is. They are looking down from on high at the people who make the difference in their communities. And that is the reality of politics.  And I had my producer walk around and show you those suites. Now, they're not all the same. They're not all the same. But the reality is, but the reality is, in 2000, they spent $300 million on presidential campaigns. 24 years later, you know what they're expected to spend? $10 billion. Do you know how much money Harris has raised in the last couple of weeks? Hundreds of millions. And that's success. A lot of it's small donor. A lot of it isn't. The most dangerous money in politics is now legal money because of Citizens United. You've got to know this. The idea that they can fight against it is almost laughable. It's almost laughable. So look. Look and listen when you are told these things, because I don't care what they promise you. Not here tonight, not at the RNC, not that Trump knows them, not that they don't own them. He did one of the biggest fundraisers I've ever heard of in my life out where I live.  Millions of dollars a plate. That's the reality of politics.”

We suspect that it is because his critique of the DNC’s Big Money interests that RFK Jr’s message has resonated with pop musicians such as M.I.A., who endorsed Trump soon after RFK Jr’s announcement.

NME reports 24th August 2024:

“M.I.A. has endorsed Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 US Presidential Election after former candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made official his support for the former President.”

The Trump and RFK Jr message has resonated with other former senior Democrats too. Among these is the former presidential candidate and former Democrat Congresswoman, Tulsi Gabbard who also will be joining his transition team.

Click to play:

Trump: “To officially welcome another true American patriot, a 17 year veteran of the Hawaii Army National Guard, a four term Democrat Congresswoman, very, very popular, the former vice chair of the National Democratic Party and a 2020 Democrat candidate for the United States presidency. You know, she was a very good candidate. Every time she ran, she was good. She did well. She decided to leave. She couldn't take it anymore. But she is very special. And I didn't know this, but she was a lieutenant colonel. That's not bad. Lieutenant colonel. Not bad. I didn't know that. You know, I just found out. I said, put it down. You got to put that down. That's bigger. That's better than all the other stuff I read. But no, she's a special person. She's got great common sense, great spirit. She loves our country, and she loves the people in this room. Tulsi Gabbard. Tulsi, please.”

3) RFK Jr joining Trump settles the Covid debate for those who opposed mandates

In return for joining his campaign, Trump has assured RFK Jr that the issues he campaigned on will feature prominently in his new administration, the most important of them being health.

Click to play:

Trump: “And I also wanna salute Bobby’s decades of of work as an advocate for our families and our children. Nobody's done more. Millions and millions of Americans who want clean air clean water and a healthy nation have concerns about toxins in our environment and pesticides in our food. That's why today I'm repeating my pledge to establish a panel of top experts working with Bobby to investigate what is causing the decades-long increase in chronic health problems and childhood diseases, including autoimmune disorders, autism, obesity, infertility, and many more. We want every child in America to grow up and to live a long and healthy life.”

Perhaps this explains Trump’s earlier pledge to reinstate all military members with back pay and an apology for being fired for not taking the jab.

Click to play:

Trump: “Service members for refusing their COVID vaccine mandate, they refused to do it. We didn't want a mandate. The mandate, you just can't do that. I will rehire every patriot who was fired from the military with an apology and with back pay. They will get their back pay and an apology from our government.”

Soon after these announcements Meta/facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg accepted that his company had interfered with the 2020 election in favour of the Biden administration by censoring voices opposed to all Covid mandates, such as ours.

Here is the letter by Mark Zuckerberg.

Trump responded to this revelation, correctly, as below.

This admission by Zuckerberg that he used his considerable platform on behalf of the Biden administration, in order to seek to swing the 2020 US presidential election in Biden’s favour, is as vindicating for those of us who opposed all Covid mandates as it is damning for those who perpetuated it.

And time is vindicating.

4) Trump promises RFK Jr’s to declassify all JFK assassination files

In addition to launching a bazooka into the Covid mandates debate, Trump has also assured RFK Jr that he will release all classified files related to the assassinations of his uncle John F. Kennedy and father Bobby Kennedy.

Click to play:

Trump: “This is a tribute, in honour of Bobby, I am announcing tonight that upon my election I will establish a new independent presidential commission on assassination attempts. And they will be tasked with releasing all of the remaining documents pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. And they will also conduct a rigorous review of the attack last month. But I tell you, I have never had more people ask me, please, sir, release the documents on the Kennedy assassination.”

If delivered, this promise is significant. Maybe investigators can start here:

Lifesite news reports 23rd August 2024:

“Since his death, the U.S. has been led by ‘factotum presidents’ – who will do anything for Israel and nothing to stop them setting the region on fire. In March 2024, Foreign Policy bluntly stated ‘Israel is a strategic liability for the United States,’ saying ‘the special [Israel-U.S.] relationship does not benefit Washington and is endangering U.S. interests across the globe.’ To understand this situation, we must go back more than 60 years, to the single term of the last administration to stand up to the Zionists in Israel – and in the U.S. itself.”

Trump had promised to do this during his first term in office. Recently, both Tucker Carlson and Bobby Kennedy confirmed that it was in fact former head of the CIA, Mike Pompeo, who “begged” Trump not to do so.

Click to play:

RFK Jr: “I’m astonished that Trump didn’t declassify them because he promised to during the campaign”

Tucker Carlson: “That was Mike Pompeo who did that”

RFK Jr: “Yeah, and I talked to President Trump for the first time about that this week”

Tucker Carlson: “What did he say?”

RFK Jr: “He said that um, he said that Mike Pompeo begged him to uh.. and I don't think I'm telling tales out of school here”

Tucker Carlson: “No”

RFK Jr: “I think he told the same thing to you”

Tucker Carlson: “That's true”

RFK Jr: “..but he said Mike Pompeo called him and said it would be a catastrophe to release these, you need to not do it.”

Pompeo is highly unlikely to be serving in this next administration.

5) Will Trump replace JD Vance with RFK Jr as his VP pick on a unity ticket?

It would appear that Trump had initially asked RFK Jr to stand in as his VP pick, but this was before RFK had wound up his campaign.

Now, many voices are suggesting that this is exactly what should happen to bolster the Trump campaign against Kamala Harris, which would present a unity coalition against the Democrats.

George News lists the benefits of such a move below:

Regardless, Trump has already hinted that he will not be making the same mistakes he made around personnel in his first term, appointing those who stabbed him in the back such as Mike Pence as VP, and the former head of the CIA Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State.

Trump: “I didn’t know anybody, I was a New York person, I wasn't like a Washington, D.C. person. And all of a sudden I'm president and I'm driving down Pennsylvania Avenue with more police and motorcycles and military than I've ever seen before in my life. I said to my wife, do you believe this? I'm President. But I didn't know anybody in Washington. And I had to rely on people to give me names. And many were really good. I mean, Bob Lighthizer. I had great trade people. I had some great people. But I also picked people that, in retrospect, I wouldn't have picked. But now I know the smart ones, the dumb ones, the weak ones, the solid ones, the ones like you. I know the people. I know everybody sort of like everybody. And... We're gonna have a great government. I didn't know, I had to rely on people to, I'd ask, I don't want to use names because I don't want to embarrass, they're not bad people, but I'd ask people that were Rinos, who do you recommend for such and such a position? All important positions. They'd recommend some people that were Rinos or something or weak or not good, um and I don't have to ask too much right now. I know the people and I've known them through fighting and wars I've known them through because all this stuff I had great support. Don't forget, I beat Nancy Pelosi. I beat all these people, every one of them. And somebody said you know if you look at it, he beat the Clinton family, right? And that was really Obama, too, because he was behind her 100%, like he was running. And I beat the Bush family. I beat everybody. And now I beat Biden. I got him out. I beat him twice, actually. I beat him the first time, but now I beat him a second time because it was the debate that got him out. And now I have to beat somebody that nobody ever heard of, who's a Marxist. And I think I'll be able to do that. But I know the people now. I've been in government now for eight years. I was in government for no years. I mean, I became President and I said, I've never done this before. It's pretty, you know, sort of a miracle.“

RFK Jr has hinted that here is much more to come.

And Trump has hinted that he might be inclined to agree with those suggesting he should consider changing his VP.

The health agenda certainly would prove popular with voters.

Either way, and before people assume that our job is done, it is important to remember not to place our faith in any one person. People come and go but issues remain. Politicians will only hold to their promises if they fear being held to them by their base. It is the base that matters.

Click to play:

Maajid Nawaz on accompanying episode of WARRIOR CREED:

“Remember, don't place your faith or hopes in any man. Stand for the issues. Openly and publicly call for what you believe in. And what matters is public opinion and the base. Politicians like Trump, the MAGA campaign, like in the UK, Nigel Farage, and the Brexit campaign, they will respond to their base. They are at least responsive to their base. They don't ignore their base the way in which Kamala Harris has been selected from on high and implanted on top of the Democratic Party rank and file. That is not something that is a MAGA phenomenon or a Brexit phenomenon. It's the opposite in their sense. So what matters is not the person. What matters is not whether or not you like them. What matters is whether they deliver on what they're pledging. And the best way to ensure that is continue holding their feet to the fire. Never think that just because they are in that position that their delivery on their promises is going to be automatic. They will do so if they fear you, the electorate, the base.”
