Gosh I don't know where to begin. I think dismantling the war machine has to be a top priority to free up funding for domestic priorities, which for me means first dismantling Big Oil and recalibrating the dollar in the face of BRICS expanding economic power. It seems he needs to issue a First 100 Days plan on par with FDR. So all that to say, I'd like to ask how he'd begin the enormous task of righting our very troubled nation -- it's a house on fire and the duopoly appears perfectly content to watch it burn.
Dismantling the war machine. Taking on big oil. Daring to tell the truth in public about the entities that have captured our country. Isn't it incredible how the problems of today are so eerily similar to those confronting JFK when he landed at Love Field in Dallas on 11/22/63?
I propose we start here to change the way we refer to the “old school news reporting” which came to be called Mainstream Media or MSM. Many independent journalists who are garnering larger audiences than some of the former combined now refer to the dinosaurs as Corporate Press. Let’s change the meaning in the same way they changed the content by calling them what they are….BOUGHT & BROUGHT TO YOU BY….(fill in the blank)
It’s time for someone to write, The Real Jack Tapper.
It’s so important to not overlook the spiritual dimension of the forks in the road and the ways that would be leaders and legacy network/ Mercenary journalists allow their integrity to be compromised and eroded. Everything depends on enough people having enough moral courage to fortify the foundations of a society and of a nation, Without which all will be lost and we will have to begin again as children. If we focus on the light and elevate our brave truth tellers nothing can stand in our way.
And a question I would post to him would be, Mr. Kennedy, what would you say to people who don’t feel completely aligned with you on one or two issues?
To which I would expect him, and hope he would say that he is unique among the candidates, and that he will continue to be open to discussion and to the potential evolution of his own perspectives. And yet he will always do what he believes in his heart to be the right thing to do. That we will never all agree on everything, but the spirit with which a leader leads, as fundamental to whether or not, they can be trusted.
"In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it is perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black--considering the evidence there evidently is that there were white people who were responsible--you can be filled with bitterness, with hatred, and a desire for revenge. We can move in that direction as a country, in great polarization--black people amongst black, white people amongst white, filled with hatred toward one another.
Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend, and to replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love.
For those of you who are black and are tempted to be filled with hatred and distrust at the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I can only say that I feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man. But we have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make an effort to understand, to go beyond these rather difficult times.
My favorite poet was Aeschylus. He wrote: "In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."
What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or they be black.
So I shall ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King, that's true, but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love--a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke.
We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times; we've had difficult times in the past; we will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the end of lawlessness; it is not the end of disorder.
But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings who abide in our land.
Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.
Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people."
I appreciate this closing, proposed question. It would have been honest, fair, and thought-provoking. Why are so many of our current questions designed to end conversation rather than further it?
We can't have the people in a state of suspense. We can scold them with bumper stickers about fearless honesty and radical uncertainty, but enacting these values is a threat to the establishment's calcified narratives, isn't it?
If there's no audience then the "debate" is going to be fraudulent. We need to film the debate so we can find the AI flaws in the production. There's no way Biden can be cognizant for 15 minutes and the whole world knows it. Its either a body double or what the viewer sees is not what's happening in studio.
Great article and important context for understanding the corruption of the mainstream media.
Thank you, Elizabeth! What's one question you would like to hear Kennedy answer tonight?

It's astonishing what the oligarchs have accomplished in my lifetime.

Agree. Jake Tapper is the opposite of Julian Assange and alot like Fauci. Tapper put profit, prestige, and power over people.
And a question I would post to him would be, Mr. Kennedy, what would you say to people who don’t feel completely aligned with you on one or two issues?

I love that question.
I feel like it would be really powerful for Kennedy to begin with a prayer tonight
From Bobby's father:

Maybe “they” WANT Biden to screw up. Now that would make sense!
Do you think Biden has the courage to publicly defend his decision to free Assange?
My father (infectious disease doctor) thinks Biden has Parkinson's Disease.
