Democratic presidential candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr., is acutely aware of the danger that discussing the CIA’s alleged involvement in the assassination of his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy presents should he make it to the White House, and, while he says he “doesn’t live in fear of it,” he certainly isn’t being “stupid about it.”
“I’m aware of that danger, and, you know, I don’t live in fear of it at all,” Kennedy told popular podcaster Joe Rogan, “but I’m not stupid about it and I take precautions.”

The outspoken candidate candidly discussed with Rogan his uncle’s refusal to bend to the “military-industrial complex.”
“He refused to go to war, so he was surrounded by the military-industrial complex,” Kennedy said. “He realized early on, that the purpose of the CIA and the intelligence apparatus was to create a constant pipeline of new wars for them, for the military-industrial complex.”
Kennedy noted then-outgoing President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s notorious speech regarding the military-industrial complex, given just three days before his uncle took office.

Kennedy called it “probably the most important speech in American history.”
Just two months into JFK’s term, RFK, Jr. said, “the military and intelligence came to him” to discuss the Fidel Castro situation and an invasion of Cuba.
JFK, he recalled, maintained that “it’s not the United States’s job to dictate what kind of governments other countries have” and told them”you can’t use the U.S. military” to “overthrow Castro” in a revolution.

“He realized they had been lying to him and trying to trick him, and he said, ‘I want to take the CIA and shatter it into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds,'” Kennedy said. “For the next thousand days of his presidency, he was at war with his military and intelligence apparatus.”
JFK, he said, refused to “go into Laos” and to put combat troops in Vietnam.
Upon learning that 75 Americans had died in Vietnam, Kennedy said, his uncle signed “that day a national security order ordering all troops out of Vietnam — the first thousand over the next month and then the rest by the beginning of 1965.”
“A month later, he was killed,” he stated.
On Twitter, many are concerned for the popular candidate’s safety, despite his “precautions.”
“RFKJr is not the only one who needs to be careful. Anyone crossing the Cabal now running DC is at risk,” one user ominously tweeted. “If they don’t know that yet, they will.”
“I pray for his safety,” wrote another.
“People probably around him, doing a god job to keep him alive and well, thwarting would be potential baddies from doing their dirty works…” one hopeful user wrote. “That’s what I’d like to imagine, anyhow.”
