Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Promises to Protect Citizens Against "Financial Censorhip" by Government-Coerced Mega-Banks and Financial Institutions
Brandon Announces He's Doing a "Major Press Conference Today;" White House Says "No He's Not"

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., promised Thursday to protect Americans from "financial censorship" if elected president, arguing that financial companies acting out of "fear" of the government pose a threat to freedom that transcends partisanship.
"The ability to save and spend without political interference is a prerequisite for the exercise of meaningful dissent, and I will defend it accordingly," Kennedy tweeted. "This is not a right- or left-wing issue. It is about protecting democracy from powerful established interests. The digitization of currency has given government unprecedented powers to surveil and control economic life."
Kennedy, an environmental lawyer and fierce critic of COVID-19 restrictions who is challenging President Biden for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination, accused western governments of "financial censorship of political enemies" during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a Twitter thread, he pointed to the Canadian government's financial sanctions against "Freedom Convoy" protesters, comparing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's actions to Russian President Vladimir Putin's freezing of assets belonging to opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
"It's not outlandish to imagine that even here in America, your bank account could one day be frozen because of your politics, or comments you've made on social media," Kennedy wrote.
"After all, in 2010, Paypal, Visa, and Mastercard suspended WikiLeaks, at the behest of the U.S. State Department. GoFundMe blocked U.S. accounts from sending funds to Canadian truckers and planned to donate the money to their own preferred charities instead, backing down only when faced with a lawsuit. PayPal modified their acceptable use policy to fine users $2,500 for spreading what they deemed to be misinformation, a change they rescinded under pressure. Nonetheless, thousands of customers are currently suing PayPal for the arbitrary seizure of their accounts," he continued.
"These are the decisions of private companies, but often those private companies are acting out of fear of Congress or regulators, or directly at their bidding," Kennedy said. "Their decisions impinge directly on our rights."

David French and other corporate money-grubbing Fake Republican liberals are always insisting that gigantic institutions in league with government, and directly subsidized by government, cannot be regulated as far as their intent to censor the right.

But this is not some kind of general libertarian objection to demanding corporations do this and do that. Because if you suggest to David French that if we're claiming the government cannot legislate impositions on businesses, then it's also time to scrap EEOC and affirmative action and all those other limits on businesses' "freedom of association."

But no; David French and the liberal corporate Republican contingent will call you racist for even asking about those impositions. They do not object to government impositions on corporations imposed by the left -- only those proposed or supported by the right.

There are ten thousand political demands the government imposes on financial institutions. And the corporate GOPe defends all of them.

But the minute a conservative says he would like to be protected from debanking by one of the few remaining mega-banks, only then does David French start screeching, "Muh corporations have a right to free association too! You can't force them to do business with people they find disgusting and beneath their class!"

Meanwhile, the Democrats are determined to have no primary fight and to simply nominate Joe Biden against the wishes of their own voters:

Outlandish? I expect it, within 18-24 months. What most people probably think is "outlandish" is the notion that your accounts won't be frozen, but merely reduced by 80% - seized and transferred to somewhere else, with no recourse and no ability to object.

I expect that within a decade, but a "central bank digital currency" is a prerequisite for that one.

I've had a number of discussions with "anarcho-socialists" over the years. And I always ask, ok, I decide to build my own workshop because I don't want to go along with that you want - am I free to do so?

And the answer is always no, that I will not be allowed to do my own thing. How will they enforce it? Well "the people" will take my workshop by force if need be. But "anarcho"? The people in this context means the government whether they call themselves that or not.

And to bring this back to the conversation here, at a certain point of the union of Big Government, Big Business, and Big Labor there is no private enterprise or freedom for anyone not part of that triumvirate. And...this is literally fascism. And its what we have today.

51 Kennedy runs as an Independent, garners surprising bipartisan support from both Dems and Reps who can't stand either Biden or Trump, and wins the Presidency in a close three-way contest. Biden is asked about his loss, and he laughs and says "No, we won. The Democrat won. Trump lost. We won. Heh heh heh." Kennedy then governs as a far left loon and the country is finished off.

Isn't it ironic that RFK Jr. is warning us about trusting pharmaceutical injections but he himself injected himself with heroin from a drug pusher?"

Everything else aside I have a lot of empathy for the man. Look at the life he lived and what he went through. I don't envy any of that no matter how much money and fame he had.

I'll say one thing, he made it a mission to try and clean up the Hudson River and did a good job of pursuing people and holding them responsible.

+++++++++++++++++
Yes, and it was also known prior to WWII as corporatism. We live under corporatism, not capitalism.

In political theory, corporatism and fascism mean roughly the same thing = "a bundle of sticks intwined together" become stronger than they would separately under pluralism. Interest group politics on steroids: all decisions made by technocrats and the power brokers representing the various "orders" of society sitting around a big power table in the capital city.

In economic theory, corporatism means "third way" between capitalism and socialism. Again, just like under Fascism.

I see two lines of attack here from the left.

The simpler line is that they just cut and paste an image with all the legislation passed under Biden. They don't know what was actually in it and...they don't care.

The other line is, "He's better then Trump!" and...they don't really remember anything Trump did, so the argument is just sort of..."Trump's breath smells bad" or something that one person here says through a sock all the time.

254 A UK journalist recently discovered that employees of China’s TikTok were tracking her personal data through an account devoted to her cat, without her knowledge or consent. Chinese employees of the company were attempting to determine who was meeting with the journalist by comparing her location to employee locations — even though the account didn’t have her name on it.

Tanden, a Hillary Clinton loyalist with a checkered past, was forced to withdraw her nomination to lead OMB — a post that requires Senate confirmation — in 2021 due to her past controversial remarks and volatile behavor.

A man who is, in your eyes, not just even worse, but destructive and evil.

His unannounced visit prompted one onlooker to remark, “This is the most D.C. thing that’s ever happened to me.” Biden was joined by Vice President Kamala Harris at Taqueria Habanero, in the Edgewood neighborhood of the capital. The president paid in cash for his order and posed with staff for pictures. Aides said Biden ordered a chicken quesadilla and churros, as well as an assortment of tacos for White House staff.

355 President Joe Biden celebrated Cinco de Mayo on Friday by stepping out for a quesadilla and tacos at a Washington food hall.

Whoever has the dubious honor of changing his diaper after that meal deserves hazard pay.

356 In political theory, corporatism and fascism mean roughly the same thing = "a bundle of sticks intwined together" become stronger than they would separately under pluralism. Interest group politics on steroids: all decisions made by technocrats and the power brokers representing the various "orders" of society sitting around a big power table in the capital city.

In economic theory, corporatism means "third way" between capitalism and socialism. Again, just like under Fascism.

I hope he gains enough support that the Establishment panics and does some rash shit.

Not that it will change anything, but I'm getting bored with "US Politics, the multi-media entertainment experience," and I need a good plot twist.

371 i'm going with, a sizable percentage of Democrats don't like Biden because he's too weak. He hasn't stood up to Republicans adequately and has let them get away with too much; he's possibly senile and that's causing a lack of progress towards Progressive goals like National reparations. He hasn't been forceful enough with Putin and lets him get away with literal genocide in Ukraine.
All enemies must be crushed completely, the GOP disbanded and outlawed, Trump imprisoned for life and all his followers permanently disenfranchised. Biden has not done this, therefore he is not the choice. But who, who is? Who?
(Not RFK! He wants everyone to die from Covid!)

Posted by: Fox2!

eh, not really. Syndicalism revolves around labor unions and their absorption into the Party. Also Corporatism isn't just the merger of business into the Party, but the incorporation of all aspects of a society into the Party. The post WWII Left had to molest the term in order to slander private, free market activity in the West in order to distance themselves from their previous support of fascism. At least that's my understanding.

Posted by: Bamanarama at May 05, 2023 02:31 PM (zV1uM)

Words have meaning and history. The "Third Way" Mussolini and the Fascists spoke of was a form or cartelism between the industrialists and the Anarcho-syndicalist movement - which was the outgrowth of the Workshop philosophy of the Paris Commune.
The industrialists were not captialists, they were generally in bed already with the Italian state for permission to operate and access to markets, when they were not in turn running elements of the government. Fascism was just a way to reach out and enmesh formally the workers' unions into the state's manufacturing cartel.

Fascism can be considered many things, but in the end it is an economy wide cartel which the government manages.

On most civilizational metrics the US is worse than the UK, or Europe in general. The ability to speak without being attacked,directly, by agents of the state is one area the US is superior.

Right to trial by jury, conviction rates for citizens being prosecuted by the government,meritocratic hiring, attending political rallies, traveling on public transit without fear of assault...the UK is better.
