I first met Bobby Kennedy Jr. when he showed up one summer afternoon in 1976 at the door of my ordinary suburban home in the company of a friend from Harvard named Peter Shapiro, who was running for a seat in the New Jersey State Assembly. I was 9 years old, and not particularly thrilled about our family’s recent move from Brooklyn to a street of empty suburban lawns whose nearest point of interest was a candy store a mile or so down a steep hill. The two polite, handsome young men in navy blazers, both in their 20s and well over 6 feet tall, promised a whiff of something different.
I don’t recall if I had any idea that the young Bobby Kennedy’s uncle had been president, or that his father had run for president; as a first-generation American, I knew that important people went to Harvard, and being a Kennedy was like being a movie star. The two young men on my doorstep, politely asking if my parents were home, immediately appealed to my imagination as connections to a world that I hadn’t seen before, but which might be fun. So I gladly took them to Tory Corners, the Irish working-class district nearby, and spent the rest of the afternoon handing out buttons and leaflets for the Shapiro for Assembly campaign.

I'm sure most folks here would not support him for President (but, we wish him Godspeed vs. Biden, no?) Posting because this article has something for everybody.
It's super long, I have no idea how many paper pages it would take up. But there are some amusing anecdotes and some excellent insights along the way. Including an appreciation of Geography that my beloved Jr. High Social Studies teacher, Mr. V. would appreciate. He's the only teacher who taught me the importance of geography, and gosh darn it's important.
Kennedy does not believe that Sirhan Sirhan killed his father, what is in this article about that was shocking to me. If anybody wants to chime in and verify or dispute, that could be helpful. Not trying to stir any pots!
He certainly does take a conspiratorial view of things, but it's impossible to dispute him on the covid stuff.
If you are looking for a long, interesting read, this is it.
The Kennedy Family took a lot of hits and the Johnson Machine for starters trashed them good back in the 1960’s to keep Bobby Kennedy out of the running for POTUS among other things.
I’ve often wondered about Teddy Kennedy in all this.
thx for the post.
*Kennedy does not believe that Sirhan Sirhan killed his father,*
Pardon him in August 2025 on the anniversary of Chappaquidik. Sirhan will be 80 years old plus. Ticker tape parade throughout the Middle East. Stick it to the rats.
Thanks for this eye opening post. It’s very long and interesting and will have to finish it later. Biden even if he wasn’t as far gone as he is now would never debate RFK Jr.
I Believe that there are more bullet holes in the kitchen then the gun carried…..
It’s super long, but worth hanging in, there’s some amusing stuff at the very end.
The guy really does love all animals!

I am now postulating the threat of RFKjr to the DNC machine along with the recent uptick of inferred gov’t backed Catholic surveillance. The Kennedy clan seemed to me (in my youth), about as Catholic as parishioners in America could possibly be...

Unfortunately Teddy took himself out of the national spotlight for obvious reasons. Threat of death, womanizer and corruption.
I read through it. It was interesting.
I recall recently hearing information that suggested Chappaquiddick was a setup to preemptively take Teddy out without needing to kill him (like the other two). I can’t seem to find a link to what I read though.
Details on the assassination of RFK:

RFK Jr. is correct.
Interesting article for sure.
Imho this is the critical quote (about his father, RFK):
“So a week before, he already sees California’s going his way.
And a student said to him, “If you become president, will you reopen the Warren Commission?”
And if you listen to the tape, there’s a long silence. And then he says, “Yes.” “
Why shocking?
He said nothing new. Anyone who has paid attention knew this already
Interesting. If they were willing to kill a president and a soon to be president then I can’t imagine not killing old Teddy. I wonder if Hillary had the flyer killed. John Jr.
