RFK Jr. says ‘mega-billionaires’ are using climate change to usher in ‘totalitarian controls’ on society​

by Harold Hutchison

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Friday that “mega-billionaires” like Bill Gates are using climate change to implement “totalitarian controls on society.”

“Climate issues and pollution issues are being exploited by, you know, the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates and all of these big, you know, mega-billionaires, the same way that COVID was exploited, to use it as an excuse to clamp down, top-down totalitarian controls on society,” Kennedy told Talk show host Kim Iversen.

The World Economic Forum took place in January, with many world leaders and top business executives arriving at Davos, Switzerland, for panel discussions and speeches. Speakers at Davos have touted cities where people didn’t need cars, claimed the world did not need “growth or development,” called for censorship and demanded commitments from government and business to achieve “net-zero” carbon emissions.

“They’ve given climate chaos a bad name, you know, because people now see that it’s just another crisis that’s being used to strip mine the wealth of the poor and to, you know, to enrich billionaires and I for 40 years, have had the same policy on climate and engineering, you can go check my speeches from the 1980s and I’ve said, the most important solution for environmental issues, not top down controls is free market capitalism,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to launch his bid for the Democratic Party’s nomination for president in the 2024 campaign April 5, joining writer Marianne Williamson.

“What we have in this country now is not free market capitalism it’s corporate crony capitalism. It’s capitalist, it’s cushy kind of socialism for the rich and a brutal, barbaric, merciless capitalism for the poor,” Kennedy said.


That's odd. He has previously said on camera that climate deniers should be imprisoned.

edit ah damn someone had already beat me to it

Can anyone verify this is his actual policy? Just seeing retweets.

If so he is on a short ride to being Clintoned
 
If you read The Real Anthony Fauci, you’ll hear from a man that detests captured regulatory agencies, and detests people getting rich while screwing over the people they’re supposed to serve.

Of course I don’t agree with much (maybe most) of what he stands for. But he actually seems to care about the country more than himself, which puts him in a small minority of politicians, and the elite of presidential hopefuls. He seems to me to have learned not to trust the government.
 
I’d say that he is pretty genuine. He has always been anti-vaccination, for example. He seems like a clear thinker. I do not know his position on other topics for example the second amendment.
Not a good position history on the 2nd unfortunately, because he is super pro crypto and anti CBDC. As those are the qualities I am looking for in a candidate.

What would you think if NYC elite trustfunder lifelong Democrat became a Republican and put on a red trucker hat to appeal to rural white folks to run for President?
I have said Trump was a “southern democrat” in his campaign style since he talked about it. The fact that he was considered an extremist Repug just shows everyone how far left the entire system has shifted over the last 40 years.
 
I listened to the spaces today. Found it fascinating (from someone that hates politics). I hope DeSantis does a round two with a similar level of discussion, versus his first which was mostly his announcement. Be curious to see if/when Trump comes back and does similar. Twitter Spaces really do seem like they could become a platform for discussion that makes traditional media and hype-building “debates” irrelevant. It was genuine discussion and Q&A

 
So far, if any of this list becomes the R nominee:
Vivek
The Donald
The Ronald
Nikki
Larry
Tom
I will be voting for that person.

However...
IF RFK Jr. becomes the D nominee and we get... Asa or Mike? I might be inclined to vote for Robert. He's certainly not perfect, but he at least seems to see the real issues facing the American system, even if his policy prescriptions aren't what I'd deem to be perfect. The biggest thing lacking in our political system is we have no agreement on the real problems. Robert may be a D, but he's at least attacking the same problems that the R side is attacking, but from a slightly different ideological position. Better than most of the other koolaid drinking Ds who won't even admit there are real problems that need fixing with culture and government, instead they want to trans the kids and force BBB.

Really, it would be nice for a real choice, and one that isn't "same shit, different election". I'm tired of this:

By the way for those who do not know: his odd voice is the result of a vaccination he received in the 90s. Flu shot. His voice was normal before then. He received a titanium implant in Kyoto that gave him what he has today. Before that he could barely speak at all.
 
Honestly, if RFK Jr. is pretty much hands off on 2A then he's the best candidate available for me by miles. I don't really care where you personally stand on an issue. We don't have to agree. I care about the types of legislation you're going to push. People get lost in the weeds on this shit. They want someone who checks every box and thinks just like they do. Who cares? At the end of the day all that really matters is the legislation.

There was buzz on Twitter yesterday that his 2A statement was qualified with 'for now' or something to that effect. Can anyone confirm or refute?

The question comes up at 2:04:00 in the twitter spaces and he speaks on it for about 4 minutes if you want to hear it from the horses mouth. I'm not fully convinced, but I appreciate his (seeming) dedication to the constitution. He sounds like he takes a pretty serious stand against big pharma, both in raising questions about the role of psych drugs in shootings as well as the silence of our govt as their individual pockets get lined (from elsewhere in the conversation)
 
He also mentioned the border crises that the immigration run we having must be stopped. He mentioned how Israel stopped this with high tech devices. no mention of the wall is Israel built. more of the same old democrat talking points. He’s on with some points way off on others.
edit. He went to the border and did strongly criticize the Biden mess.

I agree that his 'solutions' to the problems he points out are sometimes (maybe often?) off in the weeds. However, it's refreshing for someone with his left-leaning background to actually be talking about issues that matter in a coherent way.
That last sentence may be more of an indictment of the Democrats of the 21st century than me actually thinking he's good on some of these issues though:laughing:
 
The man is saying what democrats used to say in the 90s, for good and bad.

As wrong as I find him to be in certain things, I have to admire that he is swimming against the flow. Being RFK's son, he's democrat royalty and all he had to do to be wealthy and powerful was... Nothing. Going against big pharma/corporations and government corruption is not making him any friends among the powerful.
