RFK's bid for the Democrats was funded by Republicans!!!
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, but the super political action committee supporting his candidacy has received half its funds so far from a major Republican donor.
Timothy Mellon, the head of a transportation holding company and the grandson of industrialist and former Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon, donated $5 million to American Values 2024 in April, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission. Mellon has contributed tens of millions to super PACs connected to former President Donald Trump and GOP congressional leadership in recent elections.
In a 2015 book describing his conservative political views, Mellon referred to social safety net programs as “Slavery Redux,” and claimed that government efforts to alleviate poverty and respond to racism in the 1960s and 1970s made Black people “even more belligerent” than before, according to a report by The Washington Post.
Kennedy, the son of the late New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, has made a name for himself as an environmental and anti-vaccine activist. He’s running against President Joe Biden in the Democratic primary. But his bid has attracted more positive attention from those on the right who see him as a useful tool to divide Democrats, many of whom have reservations about Biden’s renomination.
Top GOP presidential candidates have stuck their necks out to praise Kennedy and urge him to stay in the race against Biden. Trump called Kennedy a “common-sense guy” who should “hang in” the race. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would “sic” Kennedy on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or the Food and Drug Administration, for their roles during the COVID pandemic and in approving vaccines.
American Values 2024 touted the contribution from Mellon as a sign of “bi-partisan support” that shows Kennedy’s “ability to unite the country.”
Behind Mellon, the group’s second largest donor is Gavin de Becker, the renowned security consultant who most recently gained attention for his work for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. De Becker’s contributions total $4.5 million.
Other large contributions include more than $150,000 from Skyhorse Publishing, a company owned by American Values 2024 co-founder Tony Lyons, and $100,000 from Abby Rockefeller, an environmental activist and great-granddaughter of Standard Oil founder John D. Rockefeller.
Peter Lawford was top H-Wood star before the Kennedy Brothers turned him into a pimp. He had enough wherewithal to feel bad about it. Realizing he had ruined not only himself, but countless innocent young girls who trusted him as they got used-up & discarded. Daughter's book outed K-Bros for the White Trash they were.
"Boobie," as Dr. Shiva calls him, is back on the dope.. mushrooms sprouted on his own waste.. anything to lose Himself and anyone who comes near .. "Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n Roll" should be his slogan
Canada over here.. I never fu**ing vote. It’s a charade. Always has been. This country is a scam like pretty much all the rest of them. Voting is a waste of time and money. I can’t stand when I see everyone lining up at voting kiosks looking so eager and proud and giddy, even posting photos of it on their Facebook. I’m like the Grinch in the beginning of the book, when he’s thinking about how Al the Whos are giddily and joyously hanging their wreaths and tinsel and frolicking around joyously... how he feels about Christmas at the beginning of the book is how I feel about voting day and politicians. Gag. When I was a server in a restaurant (for a very, very long time......), I frequently had to serve the ninnies from here, like Kathleen Wynne, Nathan Erskine-Smith, plus the entire Liberal Party one time when we hosted their private shindig. Oh, and we also hosted Trudeau himself before the first election he won. God that was the worst. I love when people tell me, “but you’re a woman, it’s your duty to vote! How can you not vote when millions of women around the world don’t have the right! Suffragettes!” Ah fack off!!!! And while you’re at it take more of my money for “taxes”, too.
"...so why is he plowing forward with this campaign?" He wants to suck on the nostalgia Silicon Valley boomer money has for him. It's a way they can relieve their wealth and guilt. They all can pretend they're back in the 60's fighting the man. Hey it's a life i guess.
I don't know why anarchists need to say that giving money to politicians and political grifters (PACs, etc) is a bad idea, but we do say it. Never give them a penny. Good call
Independent Political Report used to be the place to go for details on gathering signatures for independent and libertarian political campaigns. The two party filth don't make it easy for any other party to be on the ballot. So, yes, it is possible to estimate the cost of paying signature gatherers to get verifiable sigs in all 50 states. And he is expecting a lot of challenges so he is a bit on the high side.
The problems don't stop with getting on the ballot, though. The last candidate from a "third party" to win the presidency was in 1864 when the incumbent Lincoln ran as the "Union party" candidate. It's basically pointless. Ross Perot did the world a favour in 1992 keeping the cia guy GHW Bush from a 2nd term but Perot punished us in 1996 by assuring a 2nd term for Clinton.
Folks, you are never going to vote your way out of this mess. Emma Goldman said it best. If voting were going to change anything the people in power would make it illegal.
True, many people seem content in their servitude. I don't think very many of them ever visit the Nevermore to hear from our friendly Crow, let alone stick around to read the comments from the likes of me. We're a rarefied crowd, friend. God bless you there's none like you. Amen.
Many people don't even know they are already slaves. This belief makes it even more difficult for them to wake up. Only a massive "Uranus" type shock will work. (Planet Uranus delivers the sorts of shocks which blast people out of denial. Luckily for us, its influence is growing as we enter the Age of Aquarius.)
Someone is going to be president of the US, in 2025. All of them on the ballot support Israel... so, if this is the hill you suddenly want to die on, you will stay home next Nov.
As for me, I'm trying to save what's left of this country. RFK is still the only one who will defend my constitutional rights, and help to dismantle the deep state that killed his uncle and his father, and threatens MY liberties. Is he squeaky clean? No. At the very least, he is the cleanest shirt in the laundry. I'm sticking with him.
Not to say he isnt ok on some issues, but how or why anyone ever thought a Kennedy was so-called anti-establishment' has always confused me. My take on him running is he is tasked with splitting the Republican vote so the cheating doesnt need to be so obvious.
I hope RFK does well enough that Democrats don't win. Its the only chance for progressives to emerge out of their dark cynical endorsement of tyranny-- to be in the minority.
Can you provide link/sources of where he expressed support for WHO/CDC protocols? I know he often says he isn’t anti-vax but I took that as a way of deflecting the perjorative. One can’t dismiss the work of CHD in exposing the fraud that is the vaccine industry as well as government corruption. I wish he would tackle the covid vax as a bio weapon issue, but maybe that’s a bridge too far for him. I have seen articles on CHD however, that have addressed it. I, for one, wish he had stuck to medical freedom advocacy & stayed out of politics. I was an early supporter but the Israel issue killed it for me.
Don't give any Zionist a cent! People are so deceived about who and what they are supporting!
I’m with you 😃

Absolutely one of major trojan viruses of today’s sick society. No way he is getting my attention, similar as Trump. It’s all a theater for the minds🤮
Correct on Marilyn Murder.

Welcome to FUN WORLD!
When we embrace what we are the only thing that we can do is CHANGE or LAUGH!

BUUUUURRRRRRRRNNNNN!!!!
Hey, is I could play the "my daddy was famous" card to the tune of 15 mil, I'd definitely think about how to play it!
I'd like to think that I'd play it better than RFK has in the past few months though...

We do have a very awkward Thought process when we start to think of our current status in this lovely Civilization... https://postimg.cc/cK3g09zq

Mama says don't click on links from strangers.
Well, if I'm blessed by God... Amen then, my link is divine!

I agree Joel. In any case, the next puppet/president has already been selected, as per usual.
Yea whoever it is, its not gonna fare well for us.
