Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Friday that “mega-billionaires” like Bill Gates are using climate change to implement “totalitarian controls on society.”
“Climate issues and pollution issues are being exploited by, you know, the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates and all of these big, you know, mega-billionaires, the same way that COVID was exploited, to use it as an excuse to clamp down top-down totalitarian controls on society,” Kennedy told Talk show host Kim Iversen.
The World Economic Forum took place in January, with many world leaders and top business executives arriving at Davos, Switzerland, for panel discussions and speeches. Speakers at Davos have touted cities where people didn’t need cars, claimed the world did not need “growth or development,” called for censorship and demanded commitments from government and business to achieve “net-zero” carbon emissions.
“They’ve given climate chaos a bad name, you know, because people now see that it’s just another crisis that’s being used to strip mine the wealth of the poor and to, you know, to enrich billionaires and I for 40 years, have had the same policy on climate and engineering, you can go check my speeches from the 1980s and I’ve said, the most important solution for environmental issues, not top down controls is free market capitalism,” Kennedy said.
“What we have in this country now is not free market capitalism it’s corporate crony capitalism. It’s capitalist, it’s cushy kind of socialism for the rich and a brutal, barbaric, merciless capitalism for the poor,” Kennedy said.

JFK, a moderate for his time, to the left of me, would be very Right Wing today.
It’s impossible for me not to think that way about him
I shook his father’s hand the day before he was killed in San Francisco.
His plane stopped in my hometown of Medford, Oregon for a small appearance on his way to San. Francisco.
That was back when the state still mattered. No one has shown up here since Bush.
Yeah, there’s that, and I also noticed that he used the annoying phrase ‘you know’ several times in the quoted article.
Makes me think of a memorable statement from 70s Detroit Tigers pitcher Mark "The Bird" Fidrych, who once answered a question with “You never know, you know…” 🙄😉😁
And THIER is the difference between an old time Liberal like my Dad, and leftists. Liberals are wrong. Leftists are evil.
So, you believe that plane crash was an accident?
Yep
I certainly can’t disagree with his argument.
yeah...he had no business flying that plane that night...
He just figured out this climate change bull sh*t is all about controlling everyone and everything while looting your bank accounts?
This whole climate change thing is right out medieval times...Not much different than the Salem witch era and the religious fanatics of the day going after Galileo, etc.
He just came out against trans in women’s sports.
He clearly understands more than any of the Democrats in the House, the Senate, or the Biden shit show.
Indeed
“Yeah, there’s that, and I also noticed that he used the annoying phrase ‘you know’ several times in the quoted article.”
He must have studied at the Sean Hannity school of public speaking.
Kennedy:
Those who dispute the “consensus” on manmade climate change “are doing the Koch brothers’ bidding and are against all the evidence, saying global warming does not exist,” RFK stated. “They are contemptible human beings.””

That’s a pretty major change in ideology.
If a democratic is onto it you know it’s happening.
Holy nightmare!
I can see why the DNC is refusing to hold Primary debates.
He'd get that, and more.
I suspect President Trump kept his own security people on staff. RFK Jr, if he got so far, would be fully dependent on the Deep State supplied staff -- and most likely would get a lot more than the 'Trump treatment'. I.e., he'd have an unfortunate accident within a few months.
The problem isn’t that greedy corporate interests are exploiting the climate crisis. The problem is the climate crisis is a fraud, and RFK Jr doesn’t understand that.
