On September 29th, the very pro-Biden Mediaite site headlined and reported with hostility toward RFK Jr., “EXCLUSIVE: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Planning to Announce Independent Run”. Then, on October 4th, RFK Jr.’s Presidential campaign announced that on October 9th he “will make a historic announcement in Philadelphia, where he will share a vision of a profound realignment of American politics.”
On many occasions recently, Kennedy has stated that the Biden campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) are running one campaign — the DNC is effectively being run by Biden — and are blocking him from even a possibility of winning the Democratic Party’s nomination, such as by their changing the Party’s rules so that in Georgia, for example, every vote for Kennedy will instead be counted as being a vote for Biden.
However, the most detailed explanation of what’s happening has been posted by the People’s Party, which is gearing up to assist the campaign of RFK Jr., and which had headlined on September 28th, “Majority of Americans Support RFK Jr. Running as an Independent”. They reported there the results of an Ipsos poll of 1,000 Americans during September 15-18 which found that “If the 2024 presidential election was held today between these candidates, who would you vote for?” was answered 39% for Trump, 38% for Biden, and 17% for RFK Jr. if he runs as an independent. 17% is exceptionally strong for any candidate other than a current or former U.S. President at so early a time in the campaign-season. The People’s Party noted that “Polling at 17% would qualify him to participate in the general election debates if the major parties used the traditional 15% threshold.” Furthermore: if the 2024 final election will instead be only between Trump and Biden, then the result would be 45% Trump and 44% Biden; so, Trump was 1% ahead of Biden in each of those two hypothetical situations. The People’s Party also reported there that:
The Democratic Party is a dead end for Kennedy’s campaign. An incumbent president has never lost a party primary. In 2017, the DNC stated in court that its presidential primaries are a charade and that it picks the nominees. It stated that, as a private corporation, it is under no obligation to be impartial or follow its own rules. The court upheld this argument.
Furthermore, the DNC and the Biden campaign are essentially the same entity. Biden appointed DNC Chair Jamie Harrison, who is shutting down debates and rearranging the primary schedule according to Biden’s wishes. In February, the entire DNC unanimously endorsed Biden. The president’s campaign dictates the rules of the primary and can change them at will. At the convention, the party can even choose a nominee who didn’t run in the primary, as it did in 1968. This means that even if Biden dropped out, the DNC would still install someone like Gavin Newsom [i.e., a Biden-clone].
The Biden campaign is also the biggest donor to the DNC. Donations to the Biden Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee with the DNC, financially sustain the party. It brings in hundreds of millions of dollars from big donors that flow to the DNC, all fifty state party organizations, and their vast array of staff, consulting firms, and vendors. The entire party ecosystem and everyone who profits from it would collapse if the party nominated Kennedy. This is why the party rigged the election against Bernie twice and why it will never choose RFK Jr. The party would rather lose with an establishment candidate who keeps the corporate money flowing than win with a populist.
RFK Jr. is the only current or possible U.S. Presidential candidate who even conceivably could win the U.S. Presidency on the basis of his personal brand instead of on the basis of one of the two Parties’ brand.
Likely the biggest challenge that RFK Jr., will face will be obtaining ballot access in each of the 50 states for his name to be appearing as one of the options that will be presented to voters on the ballot’s Presidential line.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
rfk jr is completely pro apartheid state of israel!
he posted the same copy pasta as all the other zionist shills lmao. “unprovoked palestinian aggression” etc. it just shows once again that there is no such thing as uncontrolled opposition.
really sorry to hear this about rfk jr. he’s a disappointment now. trump is completely off the rails. anyone who supports israel today is a warhawk.
this is really bad news. i was thinking rfk jr might be a good altnative to trump, who has not gone total pro-israel in this war. if rfk is pro-israel too, there’s no one to vote for.
no one knows what will happen in the future; one can only scientifically forecast what the potential is for not doing what is necessary in dealing with the ongoing, “no bottom of the downward spiral defined” global financial collapse caused by decades of malthusian policies directed by monetarist oligarchs in every nation on earth.
the only way that american bullying on the world stage will ever stop and that the chasm that divides americans, financially, morally, politically, educationally and health-wise, will ever heal, is if today’s american voter is finally granted the opportunity to vote for a candidate who, like rfk jnr is beholden to none of the gangsterism that runs american financial, political and media life and who might, if elected, chart an independent course from the oval office. (1)
trump is now out of the question. totally pro-israel in this war. so what candidate do anti-war folks have? is there no one in the us presidential hopefuls who believes in the rights of palestinians?
i have enormous problems with kennedy’s opinions on israel and with how he defends zionist hegemony in the middle east but given that all other candidates are at least as pro-zionist as rfk, i don’t believe that voting for him will damage the cause of palestinians, or of syrians, lebanese, yemeni or iranians, any more than voting for dims or rethugs. (2)
i wish rfk jnr the best and sincerely hope that he might, if elected, learn that zionism is the single greatest obstacle to peace across the middle east and is, if anything, the cause of so much injustice ravaging palestinian communities both within and without palestine. (3)
rfk jr. is really aware when it comes to donbass. he knows the whole story of the maidan coup instigated by the us, and the brutal treatment by kiev toward the people of donbass. so why is he blind to the rights of palestinians?
published a book for own gains during covid plandemic instead of using his lawyer skills against the establishent, he is another declination of the deep state representative, here as plausible deniability to steal the election again.
they would just have him killed. sihran sihran was mind controlled and involved with the rosicrucrucians and lee harvey oswald a cia patsy. kenndys have been fighting the anglo british elite but it comes to nothing. he should stick to emergency policy as the us slides into anarchy. actual president is something for the parties.
rose tatoo – drop kick murphies
rfk jr is just an actor, a player of the laberyth the exceptionals created. eric zuesse first must understand how the exceptionals created their and raised their domestic population inside their primary territory that you know by usa. they raised several castes inside after wwii, the military moved slowly to a civilian side, all the war technologies were moving to economics to create wealth. this passed slowly, but they always keeped their military at the top.
everything below the military branch is just subjected to the higher hierarchy, and it is secondary. the freedom, the democraticy, western values, western gods, are only projections of their higher level, just propaganda. when the first exceptionals created the united states of america, their craft, their tradition, their way of making civilization (colonies) were at their higher point, they defeated the british empire in their own game helped by france, netherlands and others
i was pro-trump until i heard last night trump is urging 100% unconditional support for israel in this new war. there goes the anti-war candidate! poof! i’m leaning now to voting for rfk jr.
