RFK Jr.’s Mission to Make America Healthy Again

Last Thursday, Donald Trump announced that he’d picked Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as his Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). This is a yuuuge appointment. If Bobby Junior winds up overseeing HHS, he will be in charge of the federal agency with the largest budget of them all. It’s bigger than the Department of the Treasury and the Department of Defense. It gobbles up nearly a quarter of the national budget.
In thanking Trump, RFK Jr. wrote on X:
I’m committed to advancing your vision to Make America Healthy Again.
We have a generational opportunity to bring together the greatest minds in science, medicine, industry, and government to put an end to the chronic disease epidemic. I look forward to working with the more than 80,000 employees at HHS to free the agencies from the smothering cloud of corporate capture so they can pursue their mission to make Americans once again the healthiest people on Earth.
Together we will clean up corruption, stop the revolving door between industry and government, and return our health agencies to their rich tradition of gold-standard, evidence-based science.
The current Assistant Secretary for Health is a grotesque man-goblin who calls himself Rachel Levine. Looking at Levine and RFK Jr. side by side, who seems healthier? Levine was allowed to flourish in a media climate so mentally polluted that even his Wikipedia page is careful not to mention the fact that he is a biological male who was born Richard Levine.
But though RFK Jr. walks and talks like a renegade, outsider, and someone who “speaks truth to power,” he comes from one of America’s most legendary political dynasties.

He is one of four Kennedys to run for president. His father was shot and killed while campaigning in 1968. His uncle John had his brains blown out—or so they say—in history’s most controversial presidential assassination. His uncle Ted ran an unsuccessful presidential campaign in 1980. Although no one ever tried to blow out Teddy Kennedy’s brains, he did die of a brain tumor in 2008. To my knowledge, no one tried to assassinate RFK Jr. during his campaign, although he once claimed a worm had entered his brain and died.
In December 1960, president-elect John F. Kennedy wrote an article for Sports Illustrated called “The Soft American.” It bemoaned how young Americans were showing a “consistent decline” in physical fitness and how “our growing softness, our increasing lack of physical fitness, is a menace to our security.”
Sixty-four years later, America is physically softer than ever. It’s a nation of wheezing, out-of-shape, junk-food-addled flab-monsters and chemically modified biological freaks who would have appalled JFK.
Rushing in like a superhero to save the day, trim the fat, and leach the poisons comes the hyper-muscular RFK Jr. with his cartoonishly masculine bench-pressing and back-flipping. He is a master falconer. He is a licensed raptor propagator. (I don’t even know what that is, but it sounds macho.) He isn’t “toxically masculine”; he’s a masculine man who’s against toxins.
He once said of himself, “I am not a church boy. I had a very, very rambunctious youth…. I have so many skeletons in my closet that if they could all vote, I could run for king of the world.” Like Trump, RFK Jr. is a convicted felon. In 1984, he pleaded guilty to felony possession of heroin. The charges scared him straight after what he claimed was 14 years of heroin use. He’s a reputed womanizer whose philandering may have played a role in his second wife’s suicide. Not counting Trump, he is one of four Trump picks who “have sexual misconduct allegations in their past.” Although women frequently lodge false sexual-misconduct complaints against public figures, it’s based on the premise that people would believe the accused was at least masculine enough to be interested in having sex with a woman.
On matters of race, he’s predictably and depressingly woke. He edited the magazine Indian Country Today back in the 1990s and showed up in Nevada earlier this year wearing a colored poncho at some gathering of “Large Tribes.” During Black History Month this year, he “joined a panel on the state of Black [sic] America, speaking on issues of environmental racism, medical discrimination and other issues affecting the Black [sic] community.” He’s a rabid, foaming, frothing, vehement, virulent Zionist and is pals with diminutive dildo salesman Rabbi Shmuley Boteach. He has repeatedly compared vaccine mandates to Nazi Germany, with the obvious implication being that the Nazis were bad. This has led to Jewish publications accusing him of being anti-Semitic. I’m unaware of him ever saying anything positive about white people as a group. Ah, well. Guess he can’t love everyone.
He focuses most of his hate for corporate and pharmaceutical malpractice. He’s against Big Pharma. Big Ag. Big Telecom. He’d ban most pesticides. He’d take the fluoride out of drinking water so it ceases to calcify our pineal glands and compromise our precious bodily fluids. He’s been a bulldog fighting against forced COVID-19 mandates. He’s heckled Anthony Fauci to the point that Fauci called him “a very disturbed individual.”
In 2023, he suggested to Jordan “I’m in Pain” Peterson that gender dysphoria in children could be caused by atrazine in the water supply, citing a study that says it causes feminization in frogs.
What’s most intriguing, hilarious, entertaining, and encouraging is that RFK Jr. seems impossible to politically pigeonhole. Without changing a single opinion, he’s found common ideological ground with Alex Jones, Robert de Niro, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ted Kaczynski, and the John Birch Society.
Throughout most of my life, caring about the environment has been classified as a far-left, hippy-dippy political position. Then again, I wasn’t alive yet when the Nazis invented modern environmentalism. Nor was I aware that “green conservatives” cared about conserving the land.
When Obama was first elected, his backers reportedly considered RFK Jr. to lead the Environmental Protection agency, but his policy positions and past statements were considered too “liberal” and “left wing” for Obama. Now, since RFK Jr. threw his weight behind Trump—again, without changing a single opinion except for some negative things he’s said about Trump in the past—he’s a dangerous right-wing fascist conspiracy theorist.
He hasn’t changed. The world around him got dumber. And sicker. And fatter. Detoxifying America’s bloodstream will be RFK Jr.’s version of draining the swamp.
For now, RFK forges ahead at age 70 as the Undead Kennedy. Whether another Kennedy is now on the national stage to unmask the Deep State—or whether he’s just a Deep State puppet anointed to give people false hope that the Deep State is finally being unveiled—is yet to be determined. If he’s for real, the biggest danger he faces is a hitman from Big Pharma putting a bullet in his head.

Much ink has been spilled of late on the subject of RFK Jr’s extreme physical fitness. Is it not a matter of public record, though, that the man uses testosterone replacement therapy? If so, would that play a role in shaping his improbable physique? I honestly don’t know enough about TRT to say.
Is this the stuff people are referring to ?: https://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/complete-list-every-bizarre-thing-210837753.html
(I’m reading some people complain about links not showing up but it’s a link to yahoo news)
He just looks like an older guy (he’s 70) who works out to me, I’m sure his TRT helps a bit, but I don’t see anything extraordinary here.
I’m 53 and have been working out for over 30 years. I started TRT 2 years ago and I saw gains that first year I haven’t seen since my 20’s. So, in my opinion, the testosterone definitely contributes to his physique.
I was a pretty serious bodybuilder in the 80s through the 00s and I can tell you the guys using TRT ended up with some serious health problems. My own theory, as well as that of other bodybuilders, was that the testosterone not only helps grow muscle, but also grows cancerous cells,. We came to this conclusion because of what we saw. It’s anecdotal, but at least 5 of the guys we knew who used TRT had cancer. The medical establishment won’t admit to it. It’s not worth being part of the experiment. Age gracefully.
He should team up with the Department of Education to insist on bringing back the fitness programs of yesteryear (or yester-half-century) where the kids ran miles and did 50 push-ups and 20 pull-ups and all that awful-sounding but physically edifying stuff (perhaps minus the football concussions).
Some states do still have this. Not the most liberal ones tho. My teen takes weights class in High School but it’s a “red” ( more purple now) state.
He should team up with the Department of Education
The DOE needs to be razed, torched and its ashes scattered to the 4 winds. the remaining foundation will be sown with salt. Leave education to the States, communities and (White) families.
Good luck to RFK Jr. in his battle against a titanic bureaucracy that spawned the likes of Fauci and the millions of squirming academics who suck at its teats for government grants, the millions sucking at its teats for welfare entitlements and the plutocrats “fraternizing” with HHS agencies responsible for protecting the health of the American people.
brain worm or not, his foes have a different kind of brain rot.
Oh, I agree with you there. But I’d bet it’s not going to happen. The swamp is too wide and choked with life-sucking tentacles…
Thank you for educating me on RFK jr. I have supported him due to his vaccines stance and I come to CC to read your funny and insightful articles. You still can not get US citizenship if you don’t take the COVID vaccine.
I’m looking forward to hearing RFK’s details…Some of his statements seem to suggest that the worm in his brain laid some eggs before its demise. Both liberals and conservatives have made health a behemoth problem in their own ways. The left tends to be more paternalistic, with public health types wanting vaccines, taxes on sugary drinks…but they will let teens run wild with hormones if they claim the trans banner. The right wants more personal autonomy on different issues… don’t regulate red meat, diabetes and don’t give me the jab. Reduce the taxes so drugs don’t cost so much. The right is happy to be fat. The left claims fat is a problem related to “food deserts” without a produce aisle, but incongruously also a problem of lack of “fat acceptance”. I’d say its more a problem of calorie packed food desserts.
Pfizer and Moderna are probably not in Trump’s good graces. They likely delayed announcing their positive vaccine trial results until just after the Trump-Biden election. Whatever your viewpoint on vaccines, I’m skeptical that the analysis just took a couple of hours and was some sort of news flash on Nov 5 (with Trump’s loss to Biden on Nov 3). Trump seems skeptical, too, and we know how he is with payback.
I would like to see RFK meet with Vladimir Putin to discuss feats of manliness. Perhaps go horseback riding together without their shirts on. I’d suggest RFK pack his own parachute if they go skydiving.
Look up who the CEO of Pfizer is – it will explain a lot.
I was raised to revere JFK. But it’s become clear that all of them are functionally anti-White. Edward K was the great spokesman for the nation-destroying 64 Immigration Bill but if JFK had lived, he’d made it clear he thought our pro-European policies were “discriminatory.” They are all a nest of traitors.
We’ll see what he can pull off.
And their father, while ambassador to the UK, was the man who waived American embassy staffer and patriot, Tyler Kent’s diplomatic immunity which caused Kent to be illegally held in prison incommunicado from 1940 to 1946 in British gulags. Kent was passing secret messages to Lord Ramsey, a staunch British patriot in the House of Lords who was against the war with Germany, secret messages coming thru the embassy from FDR to Churchill about getting America into the European war despite FDR’s public stance. See “The Case of Tyler Kent” by John Howland Snow and a most excellent BBC interview with Tyler Kent from 1982. If Kent and Lord Ramsey were successful they just may have been able to avert the biggest disaster in the history of European Mankind that ultimately just may have doomed us to extinction at the least, Lakota Sioux status at the worst.
There was a hot mic of RFK Jr speaking at a restaurant where he telling his dinner companions that covid seemed to target people of European & black ancestry while Ashkenazi Jews and Han Chinese seemed to be immune to covid. He should also know that Jews were the chief conspirators behind the murders of his uncle and father. Perhaps that’s why he’s so subservient to the Eternal Victims™?….
Dr ExCathedra: November 21, 2024 I was raised to revere JFK. But it’s become clear that all of them are functionally anti-White. Edward K was the great spokesman for the nation-destroying 64 Immigration Bill but if JFK had lived, he’d made it clear he thought our pro-European policies were “discriminatory.” They are all a nest of traitors…

Same here, Doc. In fact, when I was 12 JFK came through my hometown, Raleigh, NC, campaigning for president. I managed to get close to his car as it slowed down, going around Glenwood Village near our apartment. I actually reached out to him and we touched hands. Imagine how that made me feel. I was a naive star-struck kid.
However, I reserved the right to become more intelligent about politicians, including the Kennedys, especially after reading this expose from a year ago by the excellent writer John Massaro: Just Another Kennedy | National Vanguard
Skip the dirt on his dad and uncles, and get to some of what has been covered up about Junior:
Robert Kennedy Jr. is a seriously flawed individual. As a teenager he was expelled from two boarding schools for drug use and arrested for possession of marijuana. Years later he became a heroin addict and was arrested again for possession of that substance. (His younger brother David died of a drug overdose). He’s for same-sex marriage and LGBTQ privileges. He’s good friends with trashy Jewish comedian Larry David and pushy Holohoax survivor Vera Sharav. He’s now on his third marriage and was an unfaithful, skirt-chasing bum, which seems to be a genetic trait with the men of this family. On September 8, 2013, the New York Post published a juicy article titled “RFK’s sex diary: His secret journal of affairs.” The newspaper purportedly obtained a copy of his 2001 diary which detailed his liaisons with 37 women, sixteen of whom he had sex with (he kept a “scorecard”), while he was married to his second wife Mary Richardson, who committed suicide in 2012. The article documents some rather kinky behavior and attitudes on his part. The diary is actually quite introspective, with Bobby confessing to feelings of guilt about his “lust demons.” When questioned by a Post reporter about it, he denied that he kept a diary that year. You can read the article online and draw your own conclusions. One fact alone, that he’s been a longtime friend and supporter of Hillary Clinton, has praised her character, campaigned for her and actually called her “great,” should tell you all you need to know about this guy. If not, consider his assessment of October 7 as “an ignominious, unprovoked, and barbaric attack on Israel” which “must be met with world condemnation and unequivocal support for the Jewish state’s right to self-defense. We must provide Israel with whatever it needs to defend itself — now.”
RFK gets very worked up over big businessmen who don’t believe in global warming and has expressed a wish to imprison them. However, I think he takes more after his Uncle John than his father and Uncle Ted — that is, he’s not a total zero but does deserve a little credit. If, as is claimed, he was instrumental in cleaning up the Hudson River, and waterways throughout the western hemisphere, by filing numerous lawsuits against major industrial polluters, then I tip my hat to him. But these days he’s better known for speaking out against the depravity of the big pharmaceutical companies and federal “public health” agencies, especially in regard to dangerous vaccines that have been harming our children. Last year I read his book The Real Anthony Fauci, which goes far beyond the crimes of that infamous slimeball. The Kennedy name alone instantly lights up the landscape, and his authorship of a timely book with a provocative title guaranteed huge sales despite a media blackout. It quickly sold more than a million copies, while so many obscure authors struggle to sell a few thousand or even just a few hundred copies of their works. Having said that, I will add that The Real Anthony Fauci is a valuable read, especially for those unfamiliar with the putrid corruption of the medical-industrial complex, even though I do have some criticisms, namely the fact that RFK takes the Covid scamdemic seriously, and scatters his idiotic liberal ideas and biases throughout. Nevertheless, he fearlessly exposes the vile scum who are responsible for so much misery and death in the world, and in doing so has painted a target on his back. Perhaps there was a connection between his outspokenness on this topic and the arrest, on September 15, of an armed man impersonating a federal marshal who got near him at an appearance in Los Angeles.
But I don’t want to be too generous in my praise. The Jewish media, masters of deceit and confusion, have long been spinning RFK as an anti-vaxxer, but he’s anything but. Since the Kennedy name is catnip to so many, including well-meaning people who have been exposing the vaccine fraud, RFK’s input, both as a public speaker and a literary contributor, is frequently sought. He wrote the foreword to Vaccine Whistleblower: Exposing Autism Research Fraud at the CDC, published in 2015. Most of this book is a transcript of four secretly but legally recorded phone conversations with a conscience-stricken senior scientist at the CDC named William Thompson. These are RFK’s opening lines: “I have always been fiercely pro-vaccine. I had all six of my children vaccinated. I believe that vaccines have saved millions of lives and that broad vaccine coverage is desirable. To achieve those goals we need safe vaccines, transparent and reliable science, and an independent regulatory agency.” Some anti-vaxxer. The rest of the foreword, however, is hard-hitting and rational…
Thank you for sharing all those details. I did have strong suspicions that if I looked beyond his recent vaccine cynicism, I’d be just as disappointed with him as I am with every unprincipled coward involved in politics.
It looks like he’s replacing a (first Hispanic HHS) diversity-hire who, like him, was also not a health professional, but a politician & attorney.
There’s things I like about RFK jr and things I don’t. There’s a context to where I like them and where I don’t.
If you want to pick a bad guy, to rally others with, it’s much easier- and you’ll keep many more friends and have less people who want to hurt you, if you pick THEM (Big X in this case)
Not saying RFK jr’s stance is bad or wrong either. People should know about lobbying and how far away they have been excluded from impacting what happens. And for everything, not just food additives and pesticides and vaccines.
No surprise to anyone THEM doesn’t include Big Jewing for Kennedy. He obviously doesn’t want that enemy.
You can talk about health, in principle I wish RFK jr well with these kinds of plans, insomuch as these plans affect white people. But I’m going to be honest, a healthier more disease-free poc population is not something I’m seeking. And we can never really have full health with blacks and Jews.
Kennedy happened to take on a role as a reasonable voice during covid. It was completely reasonable to have dissent on the vaccine at the time, but it’s a shame so many deranged loony voices emerged from that as well. I wonder if he also saw an opportunity with it to lay the ground for today. It raised his profile tremendously.
I followed a bit of his earlier campaign, agree with some of his views and like him in some ways, but I don’t feel RFK is POTUS material. Something about the vibe he gives off. What’s the point of getting rid of high fructose corn syrup if you’re going to press the red button of Armageddon for Israel ? Not saying that would happen, just a vibe.
Everyone being healthy helps us all. Less unemployment, health spending, more attractive women cause a reinforcing herd effect.
When we talk about health, there’s a lot of things to factor in. Lower level long term suspects include diet, changes in lifestyle to less active ones, and it’s not impossible the vaccine burden and some environmental toxins are a problem.
More immediate factors are smart phones, social media, pornography.
Also SSRIs and other antidepressant type drugs (which may their place but can be over prescribed), also pain drugs, and also non-prescribed drugs because there’s a million novel drugs you can buy online where hardly anything is known about them and have their own market. Part of the reason drug use is what it is is because a lot of people can’t cope with the world they find themselves in and/or they become addicted to certain compounds.
Whites being confronted by a world that’s increasingly non-white and that’s very uncertain is its own serious health burden. Then you have the highly destructive messages from Jewish media.
All these things are going to have an impact, and long term one, and for some people this will be catastrophic. If Kennedy wants to have a serious look at some of these things (the safe ones) that’s fine.
In terms of changing some of them then expecting something to happen… No one really knows what will happen. There’s an assumption within Kennedy’s ideas that if you replace HFCS or some oils or food additives or get portion sizes down everyone won’t be fat anymore. That’s an unknown. That experiment that will take a long time to work out.
If America is going to get healthy again, it’s not going to be because of this loon. He says a few accurate things — few is the key word here — but everything he touches turns to shit.
Another funny piece from Goad. But the funniest part was that bench press Tik Tok. Anyone notice the amount of weight Bobby Jr was pressing? Granted, he’s pretty old in that pic (I assume it’s recent); he’s in truly fantastic shape for his age (I wish I were as buff!); he was doing an incline press, which is obviously harder than flat benching … but surely he should have had his pic taken when he was maxing out the weight (I’m thinking maybe this was a warmup set, though he was working pretty hard at the end, so maybe not). By my reckoning that was about 105lbs (unless those were 35lb inside plates, but I don’t think so). Not bad, esp for a 70 year old. But even given his age, which makes his fitness so much more impressive, that’s not enough weight to justify lifting so publicly like that (outside, shirt off, camera filming …) .
I’m excited about this pick. Hopefully he does actually start exposing the corruption, as it would have worldwide repercussions.
RFK forges ahead at age 70 as the Undead Kennedy
I see what you did there. A Kennedy for the post-punk era.
