Earlier today, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced that he was suspending his campaign and seeking to remove his name from the ballots in key battleground states (his name will remain on the ballots in “red” or “blue” states, allowing him to remain in the running for the Presidency should neither major party candidate receive 270 electoral college votes). The campaign suspension announcement was not particularly surprising, given the reality that Kennedy himself acknowledged during his press conference to make the announcement, i.e., that he had no realistic path to victory in the general election. What was more surprising to some was the fact that Kennedy also announced his support for President Trump’s candidacy. The lifelong Democrat, whose family has unquestionably been the party royalty for well over 60 years, only ran as an independent after being shunned by the party as he initially attempted to primary Biden.

But this really isn’t a surprise to anyone paying attention. Not only was this development revealed as a possibility by Kennedy’s running mate Nicole Shanahan during an interview earlier this week, today’s announcement comes just one week after President Trump held a meeting to discuss health freedom causes, including vaccine mandates, at his Bedminster, NJ golf club (We The Patriots USA President Dawn Jolly was among the participants in that meeting). It is no secret that Kennedy has advocated for these causes for years as the Founder of Children’s Health Defense. Kennedy and President Trump have known each other for years, and while the two disagree on several issues, they agree with each other more than either of them agrees with Kamala Harris. More to the point, President Trump appears to agree with Kennedy on what Kennedy today referred to as the most important issue facing America, more than any “culture war” issue: the explosion of childhood illnesses like autism, ADHD, allergies, diabetes, cancer, and more.
Some in the health freedom community are disappointed with this announcement, suggesting that Kennedy is being ill-used because Trump is Mr. Warp Speed, and didn’t do anything in his four years as President to root out the corruption at the CDC, HHS, or FDA. I’m not going to comment on those sentiments, given that the purpose of this article is not to make an endorsement of either (or any) candidate for President. Instead, I’m writing because, hidden within today’s top political headline, is something much more profound than I think most people realize. And that is the epiphany that health freedom is more important to more Americans than ever before, so much so that it can swing a Presidential election.
Maybe this is hard to believe, but what’s harder for me to believe is that the Trump-Kennedy alliance (if alliance is the right word here) would be happening at all if Kennedy did not have the ability to play spoiler to President Trump’s White House bid. Kennedy himself referred to himself as a “spoiler” in today’s press conference, reminding the audience that he promised early in his campaign to drop out if he would be nothing more than a spoiler in the general election. Some pundits in the media dispute this, given that the latest polls generally report Kennedy not receiving more than five percent of the vote. But five percent in a swing state, in an election where some have predicted both candidates in a virtual dead heat in terms of electoral votes, is wildly significant. And when you dig into the profiles of likely Kennedy voters, it’s clear that the majority share one thing in common: they are pro-health freedom, anti-health mandates (most would be labeled “anti-vaccine” by the mainstream media, but that’s a ridiculous over-simplification that is also inaccurate in many cases).
Perhaps this is a by-product of the covid era. There’s no doubt that the lockdowns, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and testing mandates of the last four years have substantially increased the ranks of health freedom activists. More people than ever, both in the United States and worldwide, question the safety and efficacy of all vaccines. But this is about more than vaccines. As Kennedy notes, the chronic disease epidemic among our children is due to a variety of factors, not the least of which is the use of pesticides and processed seed oils in our food supply. (If you haven’t already, do yourself a favor and watch Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with Calley and Casey Means.) And then there’s our public water supply tainted with fluoride, glyphosate, and more. And then there’s the chem trails. And then there’s the staggering levels of electromagnetic radiation from wireless internet and 5G cell towers. And on and on and on. It would be far more shocking if our children weren’t suffering from more chronic illnesses than ever before.
Although we are far from solving any of these problems, today’s announcement is indicative that we’ve taken a critical first step on the road to doing so: admitting we have a problem. Never before has the health of our children, and health freedom in general, been a top issue in a Presidential campaign. If this move ultimately determines the outcome of the 2024 Presidential election, then it will be safe to say that it was the top issue of this election. And that, in my opinion, is the biggest headline today. The ranks of health freedom activists and advocates have grown to such proportions as to determine who becomes the next leader of the most powerful nation on the planet. Think about that.
And after you think about, please join us in doing something about it, if you haven’t already. As a nonpartisan nonprofit organization, we’ll leave the political campaigning to others. But that’s fine, because these issues won’t be decided by an election anyway. Ultimately, these issues will be decided in the courts. No matter what Executive Order is issued, no matter what Congressional Act becomes law, it will be challenged in the courts. Yes, the President has sole authority to appoint the Justices of the Supreme Court, and all other federal judges. But it will be up to organizations like We The Patriots USA - along with, hopefully, a handful of brave Attorneys General - to take up the fight to defend or defeat the actions of the Executive and Legislative branches, as the case may be.
Of course, given the events of the last four years, we are already overwhelmed with work, and we will have no shortage of plaintiffs, regardless of the outcome of the election. I wish we could say the same about our funding, but this orchestrated economic collapse has resulted in a substantial decline in giving. If you’re able to do so, please consider making a donation today so that we can continue the critical work of saving our country, and our children. Our future depends on it, quite literally. We have no more important asset or investment than our children, and so much of our work at We The Patriots USA is focused squarely on protecting them, including cases filed in defense of religious exemptions to vaccinations for schoolchildren, as well as litigation to save children from medical kidnapping. And we don’t stop with litigation. We have also been working tirelessly to provide valuable health education to the masses, with projects like our award-winning film Shot Dead, and our Fifth Annual Vaccine Safety Awareness Marathon (streaming live September 7-8, 2024 on the We The Patriots USA Rumble Channel). We thank you in advance for your generous support of our mission.
