The Trump and Kennedy partnership

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. made a big splash yesterday by withdrawing from ten State ballots and endorsing Donald J. Trump. But in his two speeches, Kennedy did more than endorse Trump, and his gesture meant more than holding his nose. He excoriated his old Party and the Deep State agenda as not even Trump has done so far. Furthermore, he and Trump are now in serious partnership over two issues near and dear to his heart. Kennedy has Democrats and Deep State sympathizers howling with outrage – so he means what he says. And what he says, the country badly needs to hear.

Details of the Trump and Kennedy rapprochement

Kennedy, of course, made his long speech beginning at 11:45 a.m. Arizona Time, from Phoenix, Arizona. (Cue this video to about 44 minutes in, to hear the speech.)

CNAV covered the details yesterday, but one detail CNAV did not cover. Kennedy embarrassed the legacy media so much that two organs – CNN and MSNBC – muted him at key moments. Jordan Conradson at The Gateway Pundit had details, and also published these two videos:

Conradson also included this five-minute segment showing the parts CNN and MSNBC didn’t want listeners to hear.

What did Kennedy say that those two organs found so embarrassing? This:

[The Democratic Party has become] the Party of War, Censorship, Corruption, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag, and big money.

And Big Media, which made part of the Censorship Industrial Complex. Kennedy also accused “shadowy [Democratic National Committee] operatives” of forcing President Joe Biden to quit the race. Trump has leveled similar criticism at the DNC. Neither man ever had much love for Joe Biden, but the process leading to his quitting disgusted both men.

So the first thing that unites Trump and Kennedy, is mutual disgust with the Democrats and disdain for legacy media. If that were all that united them, their partnership might not be so strong.

Release the documents!

But the son of an assassinated Senator and nephew of an assassinated President now has another thing in common with a former President who narrowly escaped assassination himself. Kennedy wants to know who else might have been involved in killing his father and his Uncle Jack. Trump might know – he would have access to the same documents the Warren Commission worked with.

Trump was speaking in Las Vegas, Nevada when Kennedy made his Long Speech. That afternoon (4:00 p.m. Arizona Time), Trump held a rally at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.

(Notice the mezzanine, undraped, with attendees seated in it.) He introduced Kennedy then, and invited him to speak.

But before yielding the podium to Kennedy, Trump announced a Commission on Assassination Attempts, to convene upon his inauguration, to review the Assassination Documents – with a view to declassifying and releasing them.

Rumors of the involvement of key Republican establishment dynastic players – including members of the Bush family – abound. As Kennedy surely knows, Trump owes no loyalty to the Bushes. More than that, many have questioned the “magic bullet theory” that the Warren Commission advanced. Were they trying to pretend that Lee Harvey Oswald could have fired one shot that wounded President John F. Kennedy and Gov. John B. Connally (D-Texas)? And did the same people who engineered that assassination, also engineer the assassinations of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (Senior) (D-N.Y.) and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.? And the attempted assassination of Trump?

For the children

But this wasn’t the only joint effort Trump announced. When Kennedy did speak, he repeated an account he’d given earlier in the day. Within hours of the attempted assassination of Trump, safe-food advocate Calley Means called Kennedy to suggest calling Trump to talk about food safety. Kennedy did, and he and Trump began a dialogue that continued with face-to-face meetings in Minneapolis, and again in Florida.

The two found two important subjects to unite them:

• Ending endless wars (including the Russia-Ukraine War), and
• Removing toxic substances from the nation’s food supply.

For the latter, Kennedy blames the:

• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the
• Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the
• U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Kennedy also pointed out that, when he reached out to Vice-President Kamala Harris about this concern, she refused to listen.

After Kennedy finished speaking, Trump himself took up the refrain, and in detail. Then he announced an expert panel to investigate the causes of the sudden increase in chronic diseases of all kinds.

What are those chronic diseases?

These include autoimmune disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and obesity. The medical establishment has always regarded such illnesses as idiopathic, resulting from some indefinable change in the patient’s own system. (From the Greek idios one’s own, and pathos suffering.)

That word idiopathic really means idios I don’t know, and pathos a d____d thing about it! An unnamed medical-school professor at Baylor College of Medicine in the 1980s

But the rapid increase in incidence (new cases) and prevalence of these diseases suggests an external cause. Trump and Kennedy’s new commission will have the task of finding that out. But that will inevitably lead them to the significant changes in farming methods during World War I. In an effort to increase crop yields, scientists developed chemical fertilizers – and monoculture, or growing one crop year after year. Grow one thing only year to year, and you will attract pests. But those same scientists were not willing to return to the crop rotation that keeps pests “guessing.” So they developed pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides. Because these substances do not kill acutely (right away), no one asked whether they might cause chronic (over time) harm.

John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Trust, at the same time, developed new uses for petroleum – in the making of drugs. Then, too, came the doctrine of the Immunization Schedule – and the packaging of several immunization antigens in combination. Dr. Andrew Wakefield famously showed a causal link between the Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) combination, and the development of autism. The medical profession drummed him out in disgrace – as they did to Ignaz Semmelweiss, who urged doctors to wash their hands before attending births.

The challenge to the Trump and Kennedy partnership

For all these reasons, identifying and remedying the causes of the “chronic disease epidemic” will be Trump and Kennedy’s greatest challenge. Trump learned in his first administration the strength of the vested interests certain players have in war and civil control. The corruption Calley Means and others have identified runs even deeper. It gave us coronavirus as an acute threat, but that’s not all. It has also given the American people a lifestyle that has made them the sickest population in the world.

So no mere expert panel will serve to correct this problem. Trump must vest in his new partner the authority to make fundamental changes in agriculture, diet, and medications. As Means pointed out to Kennedy, this problem does not limit itself to one agency or even one department.

Trump could accomplish some of the reforms he seeks through an executive order granting Kennedy certain inter-agency and inter-departmental authority. But agency heads and Cabinet Secretaries will still question it – and regulated industry players will go to court. Without “Chevron Deference,” they will likely prevail.

So Trump and Kennedy must draft an Act of Congress, and push it through, carefully delineating the latter’s authority. That Act’s Findings section must address all the issues Kennedy has identified. Then Trump must nominate Kennedy formally as a “Health Czar” and have him face the Senate. This will further protect his authority against an Appointments Clause Challenge, which Trump’s own lawyers brought against a Special Counsel.

Other reaction

CNN’s and MSNBC’s muting of Kennedy’s Long Speech weren’t the only intemperate reactions. Democrats reacted in unreasoning fury – and not Democrats only, but “neoconservatives” also.

A CNN anchor, to her credit, offered a more sobering reaction.

Kennedy still has not named all ten “swing states” where he will withdraw from the ballot. Again, he has, at last report, filed withdrawal papers of some kind in two – Arizona and Pennsylvania. But no definitive list of “swing states” now exists. Ballotpedia currently lists Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin as “toss-up” States, and Nevada, Michigan, and Pennsylvania as “tilting Democrat.” North Carolina “tilts Republican.” Florida “leans Republican,” and Maine District One “leans Republican.” (But Maine at-large is likely Democrat.) Adding back all the Likely Republican and Likely Democrat States would yield a total greater than ten.

Paul Ingrassia, this morning, declared the Trump-Kennedy partnership “game-changing” and guaranteed to help Trump win. He might be correct, depending on which States round out the Kennedy Ten. But Trump has committed himself to a serious challenge to interests that control our food and drugs, for venal – or perhaps darker – purposes. He must not flag in that commitment, or give any such sign.

By the way: the Democrats have seventy-four days to “act right,” counting Election Day.
