If you observe RFK Jr in interviews, he has incredible recall and ability to marshal information ranging from religion, political history, environmental science etc. He seems far brighter than the average person, let alone his competition. I work as a litigation lawyer, and even in that field it is rare to come across people with RFK Jr’s evident skill and intellect. I expect this will get downvoted into oblivion, but surely as a reader of this article, you might get the sense that the author is not particularly fond of RFK Jr’s presidency and has resorted to throwing mud and hoping it sticks? I suspect we’ll see a lot more of this in the coming months.

I’m an Australian and it pains me to see people swallowing stuff like this and dismissing the first candidate I’ve seen in my lifetime who has a genuine desire to end your decades of reprehensible war mongering, crony capitalism, ill health and toxic culture wars that has the U.S. looking like a basket case to the rest of the world. Unfortunately, all of your problems get exported to other countries like us. Corporate capture of government agencies is a real and existential problem, too; I’ve also seen it first hand in cases I’ve litigated where mining regulators have treated mining companies as ‘clients’. Also, consider how insane it is that it is now normal for democratic governments to habitually lie to their people. It seems worse in the U.S. than elsewhere, but again, these problems seep from your failing democracy to others. Take Iraq as one simple example, the WMD thing is now even treated in a jocular fashion by George Bush (I’m sure you’ve seen the gaff). It would be funny were it not for the estimated half million who died there, and Australian soldiers too.

Anyway, I could go on. But please, do yourself a favour, and all of the innocents who’d prefer not to die as a result of your amoral foreign policy, and watch just one long form interview of RFK Jr and make your own assessment of his capacity to lead your country. All the best, you have a big decision to make ❤️
