RFK Jr. Is Dangerous

But only to the right people.

So the screaming began on cue this week with the arrival of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Capitol Hill. The usual suspects who love their station more than their representation of the people screeched in disapproval. It is never surprising when they do the screaming, but it is certainly unbecoming. The sad truth of most of the usual suspects is that they have no real idea of Kennedy’s stance on anything. They never listened during the campaign, and their donors have done their part to create a narrative so dastardly that he’s to be dismissed on contact. On one hand, that is the game of politics: a lot of spin and accusations designed to destroy the target. It’s lazy and irresponsible, but after all, they are politicians. This is not a group of people who typically win any awards for honesty, nobility, or integrity. On the other, something about the resistance and sheer veracity of shrillness related to Mr. Kennedy’s nomination is far more significant than most. A deeper look into why and it becomes apparent quickly that the opposition by the political class is because he has the capability to end what has made being a politician worth it…their access to money.

A look back at recent American history shows why our government has become the version of awfulness it has. In 1975, the year I was born, Washington took its only real look into the depths of the CIA and its rabble-rousing and murderous ways. The Church committee was made up of eleven senators from both sides of the political aisle. The Committee was chaired by Frank Church, a Democratic senator from Idaho. They were assembled after the Watergate scandal to look into the dealings of the CIA, NSA, FBI, and the IRS. The committee was commissioned to look into the “abuses” of these agencies both in foreign and domestic affairs. The committee was approved by an 82-4 margin in the Senate. It was authorized in January of 1975 and came to its conclusions in August of the same year. They took a look into a number of suspicious areas of operations by these alphabet agencies to try to understand just how deep the influence and corruption went. They explored foreign assassinations and coup attempts in Chile, Cuba, Zaire, South Vietnam, and others and realized that the CIA had been deeply involved in each. They discovered that 50 journalists had ties to the agencies and were writing and reporting on behalf of the wishes of those agencies.

As is described in multiple places online:

“The most shocking revelations of the committee include Operation MKULTRA, which involved the drugging and torture of unwitting US citizens as part of human experimentation on mind control: COINTELPRO, which involved the surveillance and infiltration of American political and civil-rights organizations;[3] Family Jewels, a CIA program to covertly assassinate foreign leaders; and Operation Mockingbird as a systematic propaganda campaign with domestic and foreign journalists operating as CIA assets and dozens of US news organizations providing cover for CIA activity, confirming earlier stories that charged that the CIA had cultivated relationships with private institutions, including the press.Without identifying individuals by name, the Church Committee stated that it found 50 journalists who had official, but secret, relationships with the CIA.

It also unearthed Project SHAMROCK, a program in which the major telecommunications companies shared their traffic with the NSA, and officially confirmed the existence of this signals intelligence agency to the public for the first time.”

The committee reopened the investigation of the assassination of JFK and as Senator Church described at the end of the committee’s work on an August episode of Meet The Press,

“In the need to develop a capacity to know what potential enemies are doing, the United States government has perfected a technological capability that enables us to monitor the messages that go through the air. (...) Now, that is necessary and important to the United States as we look abroad at enemies or potential enemies. We must know, at the same time, that capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left: such is the capability to monitor everything—telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn't matter. There would be no place to hide.

If this government ever became a tyranny, if a dictator ever took charge in this country, the technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know. Such is the capability of this technology. (...)

I don't want to see this country ever go across the bridge. I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return.”

The results of the findings were shocking to the American people, and it led President Gerald Ford to issue Executive Order 11905. Which, in its essence, stated, "No employee of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political assassination." Lucky for us, when the government writes things down, everyone complies.

The reality is that nearly everything wholesome that was thought of about the United States government and its intelligence divisions by the public was entirely the opposite. The apparatus had meddled in nearly every issue related to American life. All things that impacted the well-being of civil discourse and peace around the globe were tampered with and used to make the apparatus of intelligence more powerful. Our reporters had been corrupted - even the famous ones like Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame had been deeply involved as CIA propagandists.

So why does this matter in relationship to corn syrup and vaccinations and the notorious RFK Jr.? Because what the state hates more than anything is someone who wants to expose the system for its actions. The entire apparatus of Washington has learned how to stay in existence and expand its influence by watching the CIA and Intelligence group run roughshod over the elected people. As many have famously discussed, it doesn’t matter who wins elections - they are just the actors in the theater. RFK Jr. poses a real threat to the institution's ability to keep the machine running. The reality of his life, convictions, and, frankly, his foibles allow him to keep going when all the normal tactics that squash the average Washingtonian fail. That terrifies them. The slanders will become more outlandish. Polio vaccines and measles will look like child’s-splay by the time we get to confirmations. For most, the cost would never be worth it. It’s too embarrassing or damaging to family to sustain the conviction. I don’t think RFK Jr. cares about any of that. He’s 70 years old, and this is his shot to do this. He will go play politics with the Senate - because he understands the game and plays it well, but the backchannel slander will be uninteresting to him. His drive and motivation will outlast any of the chicanery that the blob wants to throw at him.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is dangerous to no one but the Washington apparatus. The children of the country will not suddenly be dying of smallpox or measles. Parents, if they want, will be able to choose any vaccine that is appropriately tested for themselves or their children. The fixing of our food supply and the chemical-laced filler we currently feed our ever-growing waists with will be reviewed and determined for its benefit, but my guess is Fruit Loops will still find themselves on the shelves. The danger in RFK Jr. is in the halls of Washington. Their cushy life and revolving door world will change - possibly forever if he has the levers to expose it.

The sad truth of government is that most of the people who run the show are unimpressive people who wouldn’t find a job clerking the local Quicky Mart. They did the work to get the letters behind their name, but their average performance in school left them out of the private sector and relegated to government. The terror of the moment isn’t that what they have done is a long list of good that Trump and RFK are going to reverse and take us back to 1840 suddenly. The terror is that they will be exposed for their un-impressiveness.

I hope it all happens. I hope the people who have found it convenient to profit off of the American people scurry faster than rats in the light. I’ve grown tired of being asked to believe that the system’s stability is predicated upon the same people always having their way. Watching the screaming that was predictably coming from the usual suspects only assures me that the decision to support the group that wants to undo what has been calcified as gospel in Washington was the right thing to do. We need another Church committee. I doubt it will come from the bought and paid bunch who are from supposedly the most august body of law in the world, but it seems to be coming from the team that President Trump is wanting.

There was an internet meme circulating with an image of RFK and JFK standing beside one another that had as the headline, “We started it.” And a photo of RFK Jr. and Trump with the headline “We’ll finish it.” There is something to be said about the residual truth underlying the meme. The country was overtaken by a machine so out of control and so long ago that the last general who actually won a war told us we should be very cautious of a Military Industrial Complex. His successor ended up dead in the jump seat of a limo, and the next Kennedy candidate for peace ended up losing his life on the floor of a hotel kitchen. These are precarious times, not because of the capabilities of the bureaucrats at manipulating the apparatus but because they have proven before their capacity to destroy people through their insatiable desire for power. The founders knew that if left to our own devices, we would be hellbent on obtaining power. Anyone who disrupts that objective will be confronted by their irresponsible and reckless lunacy.

The rule of Washington seems to be that if it's dangerous for the people, it's good for the people of the Potomac, and if it’s good for the people of the country, the people of the Potomac are…well it’s been too long since they’ve been faced with that issue. President Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, and RFK are about to find out what happens when the people of America have their power restored. Let’s pray they succeed.
