Kucinich resigns as RFK, Jr. campaign manager
A new opening for a left electoral coalition
Former Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich has stepped down as manager for the independent presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., just four days after Kennedy formally announced his break from the Democratic Party.
RFK, Jr. appeared poised to wage the most competitive independent candidacy since those of H. Ross Perot in the 1990s, starting the race with between 15-19% support in public opinion polls that would qualify him for participation in presidential debates under guidelines established by the two dominant parties to exclude opposition parties and candidates.
Although no reasons were given for Kucinich’s departure on either side, it is a safe bet that stark differences over Israel-Palestine could not be put aside as the conflict reached new heights in the past week. Kucinich has been a longtime advocate for Palestinian human and self-determination rights, while Kennedy has shown himself to be a stalwart supporter of Israeli occupation and regional hegemony.
Kennedy’s support of Israeli foreign policy prerogatives extended so far as to oppose a renewal of the Iran nuclear deal, former President Obama’s main foreign policy achievement that was nullified by his successor, Donald Trump. Ironically, he has never addressed the fact that Iranian democracy was snuffed out by a military coup initiated by then-CIA Director Allen Dulles, widely believed to have had a hand in the assassination of his uncle, the president of the United States, in 1963.
Though he was gerrymandered out of office by Democratic redistricting, Kucinich has never left the Democratic Party. Yet he has never shrunk from confronting Democratic leadership, including presidents. He sought the impeachment of President Obama over the invasion of Libya in 2011 and subsequently filed federal suit against the government contesting the constitutionality of the war.
It is possible that Kucinich has presidential ambitions of his own, along with the Green Party and the People’s Party that brought Dr. West into the campaign. But it is imperative that all left opposition parties and potential candidates come together now to develop a winning strategy for the 2024 election. The possibility of a four-way election in a winner-take-all electoral system suddenly presents us the opportunity to use the system designed to obstruct democracy to achieve and expand it.
good for Dennis Kucinich. I am with him and cant fathom rfk's failure to call out Netanyahoo even tho he does claim to not be a supporter, his actions even still 2 months down the road are incredulous to me and they fly in the face of his talk. He stated on the Rising interview today with Krystal and Sagar that all Palestinian children are raised to hate Jews. Who is tell him that kind of bunk? Why is he listening.....
I found this article after watching in horror that video on Rising bc I knew it would make no sense that DK would still back him.
You are correct to follow the money. However, you, and RFK Jr. have not gone all the way down the rabbit hole. While it is true the corporations, via their lobbyists, exert the influence on government's, the whole truth, I term the "Deep Secret" , is that the collective goverments of the US, OWN all the corporations, through the stock holdings via their pension funds. In many cases, majority stock, give them "corporate governance" over the corporations, including the Social and Legacy Media. The conflict of influence is earth shattering. As our government's are corporations themselves, we are facists by definition, but also Communist, as the government owns all the corporations. This is not conspiracy theory, but conspiracy fact, documented by their own documents, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports, CAFRs, they file each year. To understand this perverted application of the 14th amendment, section 4, "payment of pensions shall not be questioned" research this "Deep Secret", Clint Richardson's "The Great Pension Fund Hoax" is a good start.

Both, Walter the original, Clint the deep dive documentarian student, prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, this Fascist/Communist parasitic system of government existing solely to control us into providing THEM with a salary AND a retirement. With RFK Jr., I feel for the first time in my life I will NOT have to choose between the lesser of 2 evils, as I find no evil in this man and neither has anyone else. For if they had, it would be headline 24/7. I believe this whole stance on Israel narrative, is in fact, a manufactured evil designed to tarnish his otherwise stellar record and morals. Considering the fact that at this time in history, ANY stance, other than total support for Israel, is a death toll for ANY candidate, as he will never be "allowed" to occupy the White House , with the opposite stance. This should not be a make or break issue as it is designed to be. I say, get him in the White House first, then let see what his policy is. If he doesn't get assassinated, as the tract record Seems to be, before or after, then maybe we will actually have change for the better, assuming he exposes the "Deep Secret". Besides, when considering our options, he is by far, head and shoulders above any and all comers, the best man for the job. What do we have to lose, what do we have to gain? Everything. Note: please copy, download, whatever can be done to preserve this information because once "the Deep Secret" starts to become more widely known, the censorship machine gets wind, the PTSB, the Powers That Shouldn't Be, will be in hyperdrive. This Deep Secret is more important than any other issues, including Israel, by ordered of magnitude. Expose it!
