RFK Jr. Calls Out Media-Government Censorship Complex
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has openly criticized the media-government censorship complex, asserting that it has played a significant role in undermining his presidential campaign. In a recent speech, he highlighted three primary issues motivating his candidacy: ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict, addressing chronic diseases, and combating censorship. Kennedy claimed that instead of censoring falsehoods, those in power fear and therefore censor the truth.
He expressed concerns over the Democratic Party’s tactics, accusing it of orchestrating a narrative that temporarily boosts President Biden while bypassing primary elections to install Vice President Kamala Harris as the nominee. Kennedy condemned the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for its legal strategies against political opponents, including himself.
Kennedy pointed to institutionalized censorship as a major problem, alleging collusion between the media and federal agencies to suppress dissenting voices. He cited specific government agencies that have been involved in this censorship effort, suggesting that they work in conjunction with private groups to target what they consider “misinformation.”
In his address, he called on corporate reporters to recognize the failures of their institutions to uphold the principles of a free press and protect democracy. He questioned whether the U.S. still serves as a role model for democracy or if it has become a parody of itself. Through his statements, Kennedy aimed not only to express personal grievances but to provoke a larger discussion about the state of democracy in the country.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said three issues inspired him to run for president: ending the Russia-Ukraine war, healing chronic disease, and stopping censorship. The latter issue, he said, helped sink his campaign.
“Governments and oppressors don’t censor lies. They don’t fear lies,” Kennedy said. “They fear the truth, and that’s what they censor.”
Kennedy spoke Friday, suspending his campaign and endorsing former President Donald Trump’s reelection. He said while his poll numbers reached more than 20 percent in some cases, the Democrat machine was determined to keep the people from electing him.
The Democrat Party manufactured a narrative of support for President Joe Biden, according to Kennedy. He said when Biden inevitably could no longer run due to his age, the party conducted a “palace coup,” bypassing the primaries to install Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s nominee.
“In the name of saving democracy, the Democratic Party set itself to dismantling it,” Kennedy said. “Lacking confidence that its candidate could win in a fair election at the voting booth, the DNC waged continual legal warfare against both President Trump and myself.”
He said his father Bobby Kennedy and uncle John F. Kennedy – both Democrats during their lifetimes – would not recognize today’s Democratic Party.
Kennedy said these efforts to bypass democracy, Democrats’ continual buzzword, went deeper.
He detailed the deep, institutionalized censorship complex between leftist media and federal agencies, calling it a “naked exercise of executive power.”
“President Biden and his White House opened up a portal, and then invited the CIA, the FBI, CISA – which is a censorship agency, the center of the censorship industrial complex – DHS, IRS, and other agencies, to censor me and other political dissidents on social media,” Kennedy said.
CISA is working with private groups to target “misinformation” ahead of November’s election, The Federalist reported.
Corporate media supported suppression efforts against Kennedy, he said, denying him fair coverage.
“Networks instead ran a continuous deluge of hit pieces with inaccurate, often vile pejoratives and defamatory smears,” Kennedy said. “The mainstream media was once the guardian of the First Amendment and democratic principles, and it’s joined this systemic attack on democracy. The media justifies their censorship on the grounds of combating ‘misinformation.’”
Kennedy directly addressed corporate reporters covering the speech.
“Consider the many ways that your institutions have abdicated this really sacred responsibility, duty of a free press, to safeguard democracy,” Kennedy said. “Instead of maintaining that posture of fierce skepticism toward authority, your institutions have made themselves government mouthpieces, and stenographers for the organs of power. You didn’t alone cause the demolition of American democracy, but you could have prevented it.”
Kennedy said his concerns were not a “personal complaint,” but an attempt to “assess where we are in this country, and what our democracy still looks like.”
“Are we really still a role model for democracy in this country,” Kennedy asked, “or have we made it a joke?”
