JUST IN: RFK Jr. Lays Out 3-Step Plan To Dismantle Deep State Censorship

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced his intent, if elected, to neutralize the ability of U.S. intelligence agencies to spy on its own citizens.

In a tweet posted Friday morning, Kennedy posited that the “surveillance state” has taken a number of steps to silence dissent of U.S. foreign policy and prosecution of whistleblowers. He promised to replace officials instructing tech companies to suspend users identified as problematic to national interests, end prosecutions of whistleblowers by the Department of Justice, and rescind policies that permit spying on American citizens.

RFK, Jr., the nephew of President John F. Kennedy, has previously spoken out on attempts by Big Tech to cancel users who speak up against “forever wars” and “mass vaccination.”

Kennedy has been a vocal opponent of mRNA vaccines.

Kennedy may be tapping into a potent frustration from Americans in his bid to deny President Joe Biden his party’s nomination.

Twenty years after the September 11 terrorist attacks, Americans’ support for government surveillance activities has reached an all-time low. Just over a quarter of Americans support allowing U.S. intelligence officials to intercept phone calls and emails overseas, and a dismal 14 and 17 percent support intercepting domestic phone calls and emails, respectively. Only one-third of Americans now believe the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were worth fighting.

As a gadfly in his own party, the presidential hopeful has drawn scorn for his criticisms of President Joe Biden, who remains deeply unpopular with large segments of his own party. Kennedy has challenged the incumbent to debate him and called for campaign finance reforms to end the “financial censorship of political enemies.”

When Russia accused its wartime enemy Ukraine of sending drones to the Kremlin in an assassination attempt of Vladimir Putin, Kennedy called the move a “deranged attempt to escalate the war,” a provocation the Biden administration has tried to distance itself from.
