			Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks the truth about the authoritarian 
			'pandemic' response that continues to threaten democracy and liberty 
			as we know it.
			 
			  
			It's cost him friendships and 40 years of political 
			contacts, not to mention loss of income and business relationships.
 But the threats to his reputation and credibility, as the media have 
			attacked him and his message, don't feel like a sacrifice, Kennedy 
			says, as he feels called upon to advocate for this issue.
 
 In an interview with journalist Kim Iversen, Kennedy explains,
 
				
				"I 
			look at it as a gift.    
				I was raised in a milieu, in a family, where 
			we assume that our lives would be consumed in some controversy, and 
			that it would be a privilege if we were able to take some meaningful 
			role in that." 1 
			  
			  
			Living Through a Real-World Milgram Experiment
 
 Kennedy is part of the estimated 30% of the population who remained 
			skeptical of 
			
			the mainstream narrative throughout the 
			'pandemic'.
 
				
				The 
			majority, however, were not, instead buying fully into the fear and 
			propaganda being sold to them. 
			He references the now-infamous experiment conducted by Yale 
			University psychologist Stanley Milgram in 1962, during which he 
			tested the limits of human obedience to authority.   
			The
			
			Milgram 
			experiment was conducted following the trial of Nazi Adolf Eichmann, 
			 
				
				who used the Nuremberg defense, or "befehl ist befehl," which 
			translates to "an order is an order"... 
			The Milgram experiment clearly showed that people would act against 
			their own judgment and harm another person to extreme lengths simply 
			because they were told to do so. 2   
			It was associated with the CIA's 
			top-secret 
			
			MKULTRA project, which engaged in mind control 
			experiments, human torture and other medical studies, including how 
			much LSD it would take to, 
				
				"shatter the mind and blast away 
			consciousness." 3 
			MKULTRA was just one of a number of 
			
			mind control experiments 
			conducted by the CIA in the 1960s and 1970s.    
			According to Kennedy:
			4 
				
				"The CIA did a lot of experiments with universities, almost 200 
			universities around the country with social scientists to study 
			humans, human behavior, and they were experimenting with all kinds 
			of things like psychiatric drugs, with psychedelic drugs, LSD, etc., 
			with torture, with sensory deprivation, and all kinds of means for 
			controlling not only individuals, but entire populations with 
			propaganda, fear, all these things.
 So you had all of these universities getting hundreds of thousands 
			and millions of dollars from the CIA or from CIA front groups for 
			programs that were called MKULTRA.
   
				The reason it's called MK is 
			that's code for mind control.    
				So MK Dietrich, MKULTRA, MK Naomi, 
			Operation Artichoke, Operation Bluebird, many, many others, were all 
			about funneling money to universities to study controlling human 
			behavior." 
			Yet, even during the Milgram experiment, 33% of the people got up 
			and walked out, refusing to violate their ethics. 
				
				"They may be from a whole range of political backgrounds and 
			parties, who just... maintain that capacity for critical thinking, 
			and is not subject to... that override from authority," Kennedy said.
				   
				"And it seems to me... that we're all now in the grips of this huge Milgram experiment, where we have a Dr. 
				
				
				Anthony Fauci, who is this 
			trusted authority, telling us to do things that we know are wrong, 
			like censor speech." 5 
			  
			  
			Fear Is the Enemy
 
 Fear is the enemy, as it allows totalitarian systems to take control 
			of people, destroying democracy in the process, Kennedy says. 6
 
			  
			It's 
			commonly used by people in authority to exert further control, like 
			shot mandates and lockdowns. Children's Health Defense, which 
			Kennedy founded, has filed more than 50 lawsuits, many of them 
			addressing COVID mandates.
 In the beginning, even judges were too frightened to rule against 
			the state dictates, leading to,
 
				
				"really crazy decisions that... made 
			no sense," Kennedy says.  
			They've since made some 
			progress, including in New York, where a judge said since the shot 
			doesn't prevent transmission, you can't have a mandate for it. 
			7
 But he points out that a government will not only not relinquish 
			power, but will also abuse any power it has to the maximum extent 
			possible.
 
			  
			Just because the 
			'pandemic' is over, the desire to control 
			won't go away.
			 
			  
			He explains: 8 
				
				"People should keep in mind that nobody ever complied their way out 
			of totalitarian regime rules.    
				So, if you think that you know, by 
			abandoning these rules, that somehow things are going to get better 
			or it's going to satiate the need to control you, it's not. 
				   
				It's 
			just going to embolden them to do something worse." 
			  
			  
			  
			
			Unprecedented Times, Technology Threaten Democracy 
			  
			Kennedy also states that we're facing a situation we've never been 
			in before. 
			  
			It's not that democracy hasn't been threatened, and lost, 
			in the past, but now the technological tools are available for 
			widespread surveillance: 9 
				
				"There have been many times when we lost democracy.  
				  
				There has been 
			polarization that was this bad before, particularly during the Civil 
			War. But other times in our history, there have been very, very 
			toxic polarization.
 There's been times when we lost democracy and that large 
			corporations, particularly during the Gilded Age in the 1880s and 
			1890s... - you know, the big oil companies like Standard Oil - were 
			running our country, and that we really did not have a functioning 
			democracy."
 
			The difference was that, back then, 
			 
				
				"we started cutting away at this 
			monolith of corporate and government power, the merger of corporate 
			power that had abolished democracy," and were able to restore it.
				 
			What's different today is that we now have the technology available 
			to control human behavior at a large scale: 10 
				
				"The problem is that we've now got these instrumentalities, these 
			technologies, for human behavioral control that we never had before. 
				   
				The ambition, the intention of every totalitarian regime in history 
			is to control every aspect of human behavior - our speech, our 
			thoughts, our transactions, our movements, everything that we do - but they've never been able to do that, because nobody, no 
			government, has ever had that reach.
 But today, we have facial recognition systems all over the place. We 
			have satellite systems.
   
				
				
				Bill Gates says, 
					
					his satellite system, which 
			is 61,000 satellites... will be able to look at every square inch of 
			the Earth 24 hours a day... 
				We're now beginning on the road to 
			adopting 
				
				digital currencies, which is 
				economic slavery...!   
				As soon as 
			that happens, we lose all rights because they will be able to starve 
			you.
 And we already have an example of that with a trucker strike, and in 
			our demonstration in Toronto, Trudeau sent people out to look at the 
			license plates for these truckers and then froze their bank 
			accounts.
   
				So they couldn't pay their mortgage, they couldn't put 
			their kids in school, they couldn't buy food for their family.
				   
				None 
			of them were charged with a crime." 
			  
			
 There's No "pandemic' Exemption" in the Constitution
 
 Kennedy also makes the point that the framers of the Constitution 
			did not add any exemptions due to 'pandemics'.
 
			  
			They were well aware of 
			them, having experienced multiple epidemics during the Revolutionary 
			War. But the Constitution was protected and allowed to function as 
			intended. 
			  
			Adding exceptions is something new.
			 
			  
			Kennedy notes: 11 
				
				"There were epidemics in every city that killed tens of thousands of 
			people - yellow fever, cholera, smallpox and many others. 
				   
				So, the 
			framers knew all about it. But they didn't put an epidemic or 
				'pandemic' exception in the United States Constitution.  
				  
				It's a new 
			thing... we had a civil war and Lincoln - at a time when our country 
			was really 'this far' away from being destroyed, 669,000 Americans 
			died.   
				It's like 20 million people died today.
 And yet, when he tried to get rid of Habeas Corpus, the Supreme 
			Court said, 'You can't do that.'
   
				There's no exemption for war... there's no exception for 
				'pandemics'. We had a Spanish flu 'pandemic' in 
			1918 and that killed 50 million people.    
				And yet, we did not stop the 
			Constitution from functioning." 
			  
			
 Censorship Destroys Democracy
 
 Kennedy says the remedy to stop totalitarian control is democracy.
 
			  
			But, 
			 
				
				"My father always 
				said that democracy was completely dependent on the free flow of 
				information." 12  
			Open debate, allowed for by free 
			speech, leads to the best ideas and solutions that allow a country 
			and its population to thrive. 
				
				"If you shut off the free flow of information and start censoring 
			things," Kennedy says, "we lose the one advantage that we have. And, 
			of course, once you start doing censorship, you are on the slippery 
			slope to totalitarianism." 13 
			Right now, we're facing institutional 
			corruption, with the military industrial complex at the helm. 
				
				"I think if you removed 
				Anthony Fauci... he's going to be replaced by 
			another Anthony Fauci," Kennedy explains. 14  
			Meanwhile, he says, it's 
			the military industrial complex, which also owns the press, that we 
			need to take democracy back from: 15 
				
				"We're living in the era that 
				Dwight Eisenhower warned us against on 
			January 17, 1960... in
				
				his farewell speech, Eisenhower gave probably 
			the most important speech... in American history, where he warned 
			Americans against the emergence of the military industrial complex - the intelligence agencies, the Pentagon and the associated 
			industries, and he included the scientific bureaucracy.
 He specifically spent a lot of time in that speech arguing about the 
			federal scientific bureaucracy, meaning NIH, that they would be the 
			authors of the destruction of American democracy if we allowed them 
			to do that...
   
				And then 
				
				9/11... turned America really into the 
			beginnings of a surveillance state. And
				
				COVID completed the task… and the job of the CIA is to develop a pipeline of new wars that 
			America could fight to feed this machine, the military contractors, 
			and look what happened in COVID: 
					
					138 companies were involved in 
			manufacturing and distributing the vaccine... 
				They're all military contractors... 
					
					The Pentagon and the National 
			Security Agency (NSA) ran the entire 'pandemic' response. 
					 
				Pfizer and Moderna 
			don't really own those vaccines.    
				They slap their labels on them, but 
			it was a Pentagon project.    
				And so, you know, we're dealing with a 
				military industrial complex." 
			  
			  
			
			Can Democracy Withstand Turnkey Totalitarianism?
 
 With totalitarian forces angling to control every aspect of human 
			behavior, the time for dissent is now.
 
				
				The first step is waking up 
			to the truth.    
				The next is to stand up for what you believe in. 
				   
				The 
			ultimate outcome, however, remains to be seen.  
			According to 
			Kennedy: 16 
				
				"The levels of control that they have now over human behavior are 
			greater than we've ever seen.    
				It's what I call 
				turnkey 
			totalitarianism... we're trying to educate the public and build our 
			army to restore democracy.
 And they're rising at the same time to put this infrastructure in 
			place that will give them total control, destroy dissent and disable 
			any kind of insurgency or subversion or any difference with the 
			official government narrative, and the orthodoxies...
   
				When they put 
			that in place, it's really hard to predict whether democracy will 
			have the resiliency to restore those institutions."
