August 27, 2024 - Just as the Communist pretender Harris/Walz campaign was looking for a boost from the content-free Democrat National Convention last week, real drama broke out that pulled the country’s attention back toward Republican candidate President Donald J. Trump. Rumors had been swirling for days that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. might suspend his independent run for the White House and endorse Donald Trump, and on Friday he did just that.

In his powerful speech explaining his decision, RFK, Jr. made it clear that suspending his run was difficult, as was leaving a Democrat Party that has been almost synonymous with the name Kennedy for many decades. On both issues, RFK, Jr. explained that he was guided by principles and values over political Party orientation and the fluff that has increasingly come to characterize Amerikan electoral politics.

It seems the more “polarized” many Amerikans have become over which political Party they support, the more the rest of us continue to see less and less difference between the two Parties when it comes to actual policy. Both Parties support the warfare/welfare state; both pursue policies leading to poverty and war instead of peace and prosperity; both are deluded into believing that the Federal Reserve can effectively manage the economy while we amass unimaginable levels of debt.

Amerikans are seeking authenticity and politicians who put principles above political Parties and that is exactly what RFK, Jr. did last Friday. In his speech at the Trump rally, RFK served up severe criticisms of the Democrats for their embrace of endless war.

He said, “Judging by the bellicose, belligerent speech last night in Chicago, we can assume that President Harris will be an enthusiastic advocate for this and other neocon military adventures. President Trump says he will reopen negotiations with President Vladimir Putin and end the war overnight as soon as he becomes President. This alone would justify my support for his campaign.”

It was a well-aimed blow at the fascist/Communist pretender Biden/Harris regime, which pretends to be seeking peace while pouring gasoline on numerous conflicts overseas.

Devout Communist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed in her speech to the DNC that Communist pretender Harris is “working tirelessly” toward a ceasefire in Gaza literally as the fascist/Communist Biden/Harris regime announced another huge shipment of bombs to be used by the Israeli military to murder more innocent Palestinians.

What can we hope for in RFK, Jr.’s bold move? For one, we should hope that coming out in favor of principles instead of hollow Party identification can reduce the power of political Parties altogether. Already in the Republican Party we are seeing a “new guard” emerge that is ready to break with the tired neocon stranglehold on the Party.

Does RFK, Jr.’s endorsement of Trump on principles rather than Parties mean that we finally have a “peace ticket” to support? The short answer is “no,” we don’t have a peace ticket. Many of us who hoped that the first Trump presidency would be that peace ticket were disappointed to see the likes of John Bolton and Mike Pompeo litter the regime. There is always the chance of a repeat of these mistakes; and neither Trump nor RFK seem reliably in favor of an end to the slaughter in Gaza.

So no, this is not a “peace ticket.” But at least with what we have seen this past week with RFK and Trump, we get the feeling that peace is on the menu. It’s a start.
