Biden Adminstration Denies RFK, Jr Secret Service Protection; Says "Not Warranted"

Supporters of the son of Bobby Kennedy are worried
about the safety of RFK, Jr. Today, the Biden administration
denied Secret Service protection
of the presidential
candidate, saying protection is "not warranted."
Update: Democrats caught with their pants down, attempting to blow smoke. DHS
Sec. Mayorkas and POTUS have sole authority to provide Secret Service protection for any reason before120-day mark; as was done for Obama (07), Trump (2016) Biden (2020) and Bernie (16, 20). Only president to play politics with protection, ever, is Joe Biden.

The son of Robert Frances Kennedy has requested Secret Service protection, but the Biden administration denied the request today, saying protection is "not warranted at this time."

Robert Frances Kennedy, Jr. is a candidate for the Democratic Party nominee for the presidency of the United States.

Kennedy broke the news this morning: Writes Kennedy:

Since the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are provided Secret Service protection. But not me. Typical turnaround time for pro forma protection requests from presidential candidates is 14-days.  After 88-days of no response and after several follow-ups by our campaign, the Biden Administration just denied our request. Secretary Mayorkas: "I have determined that Secret Service protection for Robert F Kennedy Jr is not warranted at this time."  Our campaign's request included a 67-page report from the world's leading protection firm, detailing unique and well established security and safety risks aside from commonplace death threats.


Admirers and campaign supporters have long expressed private concern that the son of Bobby Kennedy faces unique and grave threats, earning the enmity of much of corporate America, the military-industrial-intel complex and Democrat Party officialdom which has politicized virtually every arm of federal government..

Biden, who faces lingering questions over his cognitive ability, has offered no comment on this development.

RFK, Jr. Hails Freedom of Speech, as Biden Loses State Censorship Ruling

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. blasted Democrats as betraying
liberty and free speech. Reacting to a federal judge's
injunction stopping the Biden administration from censoring
and banning speech on the Internet, RFK excoriated
government suppression of information.

"This ruling has been widely reported as barring the
administration from ‘working with,' 'contacting,' or
'coordinating with' social media," said Democratic
Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
,
who
is mentioned in the injunction as one of the people
censored on social media. "These are euphemisms. The
case is about blatant censorship, in which government
agencies colluded with and coerced tech platforms
to censor Constitutionally-protected speech."

U.S. District Court Hits Joe Biden's Ministry of Truth

Update: Biden is "appealing a court ruling sharply limiting the ability of federal officials to interact with social media companies about the content contained on their platforms," reports Politico.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., hailed a Louisiana federal judge's ruling to grant an injunction against President Joe Biden, ordering the administration to halt government-induced censorship of the internet, and the administration's myriad contacts with Big Tech,

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is a candidate for the Democratic Party's nomination for Untied States president.

Judge Doughty's ruling forbids the Biden administration from contacting social media companies for "the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech."

As the national Democratic Party has become a champion of censorship of speech that the administration says is too dangerous to read or hear, Kennedy has taken the opposite position, blasting Democrats as betraying liberty and free speech.

"This ruling has been widely reported as barring the administration from ‘working with,' 'contacting,' or 'coordinating with' social media," said Democratic Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is mentioned in the injunction as one of the people censored on social media. "These are euphemisms. The case is about blatant censorship, in which government agencies colluded with and coerced tech platforms to censor Constitutionally-protected speech."

The Biden administration's work for state censorship has also defined the national Democratic Party, as not one Democratic member of Congress has expressed public objection to what Judge Doughty calls Biden's "Ministry of Truth."

Kennedy is mentioned several times in Judge Judge Doughty's Memorandum Ruling on Request for Preliminary Injunction.

Kennedy, a prominent environmental attorney and children's' advocate, has been banned and censored by Big Tech for advocating for patients, consumers and families against what Kennedy has said are sometimes dangerous corporations.

Writes Judge Doughty:

(1) On January 23, 2021, three days after President Biden took office, Clarke Humphrey (“Humphrey”), who at the time was the Digital Director for the COVID-19 Response Team, emailed Twitter and requested the removal of an anti-COVID-19 vaccine tweet by RobertF. Kennedy, Jr.21 Humphrey sent a copy of the email to Rob Flaherty (“Flaherty”), former Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Digital Strategy, on the email and asked if “we can keep an eye out for tweets that fall in this same genre.” The email read, “Hey folks-Wanted to flag the below tweet and am wondering if we can get moving on the process of having it removed ASAP.”22

RFK, Jr. Responds to Federal Judge Freedom of Speech, Censorship Ruling

LOS ANGELES, CA—JULY 5, 2023—A federal judge issued an injunction Tuesday prohibiting Biden administration officials and federal agencies from communicating with social media companies about certain forms of protected speech.

The 155-page ruling details numerous clear violations of the First Amendment’s free speech clause. Amply referenced and footnoted, the document describes how Biden administration officials demanded that social media companies suppress information and deplatform people who expressed political views they deemed harmful.

“This ruling has been widely reported as barring the administration from ‘working with,’ ‘contacting,’ or ‘coordinating with’ social media,” said Democratic Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is mentioned in the injunction as one of the people censored on social media.

“These are euphemisms. The case is about blatant censorship, in which government agencies colluded with and coerced tech platforms to censor Constitutionally-protected speech.”

As described in the injunction, government censorship demands were backed with threats to revoke Article 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields social media companies from liability for actions taken on their websites, as well as the threat of anti-trust action. Both of these, in the words of Mark Zuckerberg, are “existential threats” to social media companies’ business.

The injunction describes the formation of a censorship apparatus that includes public-private partnerships with groups like the Virality Project, the Stanford Internet Observatory, and the Election Integrity Project. They operated not only through direct demands, but also through creating a tacit consensus about what information is permissible.

Disallowed posts and suppressed information included those:

  • Questioning the safety of the Covid vaccines
  • Claiming the shots did not prevent infection or transmission
  • Doubting the utility of masks and lockdowns
  • Suggesting the lab leak hypothesis for Covid origins
  • Questioning the integrity of the 2020 elections
  • Claiming the authenticity of the Hunter Biden laptop story

“The judge got it exactly right when he wrote, ‘Freedom of speech and press is the indispensable condition of nearly every other form of freedom,’” Kennedy said. “Without freedom of speech, there is no democracy.”

Attorneys for Team Kennedy are considering further legal action to protect Mr. Kennedy’s rights and those of the campaign to be heard, free of censorship.

Progressive Challenge to Joe Biden Takes Shape; But Biden-Clinton Faction Wants Coronation

RFK-Williamson-Kucinich Allies Right on Issues

Commentary

Madison, Wisconsin — Big Pharma, the insurance industry, the military-industrial complex and other gigantic moneyed interests have made their choices for the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party. It's Joe Biden.

Perceived meddling by little folk such as the American people is in bad political form.

So say Democrat mouthpieces and stooges in corporate media. 

They assure us there are no Democrat presidential challengers, despite the candidacies of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson, and even if candidacies exist, well, — Democrats Party bosses know better.

Democrats despise RFK. Jr., for example, for his heretical statements that Big Pharma misleads, lies and cheats at the expense of American families.

For most rational people, Big Pharma crimes are axiomatic; for Democrats such criticism amounts to politcal heresy.

This week, RFK Jr.'s campaign announced the appointment of Dennis Kucinich, former mayor of Cleveland and an ex-congressman who knows, roughly speaking, how indescribably full of shit the current Democrat Party really is.

I am delighted to announce @Dennis_Kucinich as the manager of my Presidential campaign. A former 8-term member of Congress, he has been both an icon of progressive politics and an iconoclastic, game-changing force within progressive politics. #Kennedy24https://t.co/UGeSIysVQ7

On family and value issues from healthcare to student loans to mass surveillance to galloping fascism of government intelligence traitors, Robert F. Kennedy Jr is on the right side of most every major issue, while daily exposing Biden and the Democrats for the liars and schemers most people know Democrats to be.

Don't look for a series of debates among the Democrats candidates for the nomination of the president of the Untied States.

No matter that some "70 percent of Americans think Biden should not seek a second term — including 51 percent of Democrats."

Democrats have issued their orders: Nomination of Joe Biden. Your job is respectful silence or polite applause.

RFK Hits Biden in Response to Reelection Video; Cites Profound, Fundamental Differences

Born to a political family, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is the nephew of
America’s 35th President, John F. Kennedy, and the son of his Attorney
General Robert F. Kennedy. Kennedy is now a candidate for the
presidency, and is seeking the nomination of the Democratic party.
An ailing Joe Biden announced his reelection bid amid polls showing just 43 percent of Democrats favoring the 80-year-old campaigning for the presidency.

The corporate media is attempting to blackout Biden's announced Democratic Primary opponents, Marianne Williamson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr, with Biden going to far as to use dirty tricks to block Williamson on social media.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. hit back almost immediately after Biden's reelection video, a medium used because of apparent health problems of the current president.

Writes Kennedy:

I have known and liked Joe Biden for many years, but we differ profoundly on fundamental issues such as corporate influence in government, censorship, civil liberties, poverty, corruption, and war policy, among others. I look forward to engaging him in debates and town hall meetings, in a primary election that is honest, civil, and transparent. I invite him into a new era of respectful dialog in these times of division.

I am a multi-generational Democrat, but I think our party has gone off track. Remember when we upheld the interests of the poor and middle class against big corporations and Wall Street? Remember when we were the party of peace, civil liberties, and people power? I aim to reclaim my party and its traditional values.

The Biden administration is riddled with Neocons, war hawks, Wall Street people, and former corporate lobbyists. That's what the party elite has become. But I know the rank-and-file — and the American people as a whole — don't share their priorities. It's time to return our party and our nation to the people.

Obama Will Stop Keystone XL Pipeline, Says Climate Change Godfather

Oglala Sioux Tribal President Bryan Brewer joined about 300 people
in a nonviolent direct-action training called Moccasins on the Ground
held recently in preparation for stopping the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline.
Update: Atmospheric CO2 Concentrations Surpass 400 PPM Milestone, for the first time in human history, reports NOAA.

James Hansen, known as the "Godfather of Climate Change," writes in a new commentary on his Columbia University Web site that he believes President Obama will stop the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline.

The Keystone XL Pipeline is opposed by environmentalists, climate scientists, and many Native American activists because the emissions from energy products produced from the tar sands "gook," as accurately described by Dr. Hansen, would inject into the atmosphere "more than twice the carbon from all of the oil burned in human history."

Storms of My Grandchildren: The Truth about the
Coming Climate Catastrophe and
Our Last Chance to Save Humanity
Hansen compares the production and burning of energy products from tar sands as "equivalent to burning coal to power your automobile. . . ."

Concludes Hansen: "The common presumption that President Obama is going to approve the Keystone XL pipeline is wrong, in my opinion. The State Department must provide an assessment to President Obama. Secretary of State John Kerry is expert on the climate issue and has long been one of the most thoughtful members of our government. I cannot believe that Secretary Kerry would let his and President Obama's legacies go down the tar sands drain."

Carl Sagan once said of protecting our climate from nuclear catastrophe: "We can safeguard the planetary civilization and the human family if we so choose."

I wonder how firmly such sentiment resides in President Obama. The answer is not clear at this point. Tell the president that the XL pipeline needs to be stopped.

Read the Oglala Sioux news and understand that the fate of our planet, literally, rests in the actions of our president and what we, as citizens of the world, do to protect our planet for the sake of all of our grandchildren. You better believe the energy extraction industry and the Republican Party don't care, and are intent on destruction on a planetary scale.

As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. writes of the politics of Big Oil and the Republican Party: "[T]here is nothing patriotic, moral or religious about Big Oil. A storied history of perfidy and greed has distinguished these companies among the most treasonous and piratical of all American business enterprises."

RF Jr. on Voter Suppression

RFK Jr. is sounding the alarm about GOP dirty tricks, including Van Hollen's perfect match scheme. Though Van Hollen is not the original inventor, he's just an unoriginal tool.

From Air America:

There are about 30 scams the Republicans are deliberately using, particularly in the swing states to get Democratic voters off the rolls. These scams originate in the so-called Help America Vote Act which was passed after the Florida debacle in the year 2000. ... And instead of reforming what happened in Florida it basically institutionalized all the problems that happened in Florida. And institutionalized a series of impediments that make it very difficult for democrats to register, for democrats to vote and then for democrats to have their vote counted.

One of these requirements under HAVA is called 'the perfect match,' and what that does is little known but it is devastating. A quarter of the voters in Colorado have just been removed from the rolls because of this--[and] just this one scam. And what it does is, they use a computer system to compare your registration application to all [your] other government records in the state. So they'll look at your Social Security records, your Motor Vehicle records, and any time you've had any interaction with the government, and if there is any information on your voter registration that is different than the information on another government record that they find, they remove you from the voting rolls.

For example, if I registered as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and yet my motor vehicle license said Robert Frances Kennedy Jr., I'd be removed from the rolls. If your initial is different, if you leave an initial out, if you leave a "Jr." out, if you leave a hyphen out in your name. And what they've done is a study in New York that said 80% of the errors are errors by state clerks taking down this information. And particularly [in] immigrant communities, [where] people tend to vote Democratic, people have names spelled Muhammad with an "o" instead of a "u"
