"Bobby, why are you threatening my life?"

By Greg Palast
September 7, 2025


"Bobby, Bobby, Bobby Kennedy, my dear friend of so many years, my co-author at Rolling Stone, why are you threatening my life?
Why are you threatening lives across America and even our not-yet-born great-grandchildren?

[snip]

You've kicked out over 3,000 scientists at the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control.
Who do you have left, Bobby, to control diseases?
So, when the next pandemic hits, we won't have mRNA, we'll have beef tallow and bleach.

You've terminated over 800 medical research grants.
Let's take one: Why in the world did you terminate the brain injury outpatient education program at Seattle Children's Hospital?
Did Dr. Joe Rogan suggest that?

[snip]

I'm also curious as to why you have turned orange like Trump.
I don't remember you looking like a toasted Brazil nut.
Maybe you and President Orange think you'll be protected from the next pandemic designed by Jews to "target" white people.
I guess you and Trump think you're protected because you are now orange people.

Bobby, my friend, you are sick, physically and mentally.
I'm sympathetic, but don't make everyone else sick as you."

Yeah, three years and a couple of months. Still sounds like an eternity.

He's a member of the elite and therefore absolved of any responsibility. And if you ask him, he knows more than the scientists telling him otherwise. He certainly knows more than you or I, despite whatever degrees we may possess, because he was born into it; and he is thus a superior being. Once he's done in this job, he'll retire on a nice government pension and his inheritance, and he won't give a rat's ass about how many died because of him. He'll go back to being a celebrity on social media again until the DJT Jr. (or Ivanka) administration comes calling.

Remember, too, that lots of people who call themselves "Democrats" worship the name and will gladly give him a pass. And writing a "strongly worded letter" or pretending to "hold him to public account" in hearings matters not one bit.
