As Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. states: "I am the first presidential candidate in history to whom the White House has denied a request for protection."
As a whole, the comment thread to this Tweet by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. expresses my personal outrage. What causes me to be angry? The fact that someone tried to assassinate RFK, Jr.? No, most of my outrage is provoked by powerful unnamed people who have decided that RFK, Jr. does not deserve Secret Service Protection. IMO, Joe Biden is not calling the shots. He is merely the skeletal outline of someone who serves as the mascot for the people who pull the levers of power, those who have decided that RFK, Jr. is a political threat to re-electing Joe Biden and thus expendable. The fact that RFK,Jr's uncle and father were both assassinated, makes this lack of Secret Service protection surreal. The other cause for my anger is that a serious candidate for U.S. President has been threatened with murder, yet the corporate "news" media is completely silent. As of Sept 16, 2023 12:30 pm CT, none of the following "news" outlets have reported anything about this incident: NYT, WaPo, NPR, CNN or MSNBC. This is clearly a coordinated effort.
As with much of the flow of information these days, Joe Biden is the answer and everything else is reverse engineering.
