Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s recent endorsement of President Trump has generated a lot of attention. As the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy and the son of Representative Robert F. Kennedy, and a Democrat for generations, it was unusual for him to run as an independent presidential candidate, but he had been a critic of President Trump in the past, which made me even more curious about his change of heart. I wondered if he had endorsed Trump as a political engineering move in a close race, as a figure with about 5% support nationally suddenly endorsing the Republican Trump could decide the election in a close race. But as it turned out, the Democratic Party had excluded him from the process of becoming the party’s nominee without a contest. In the end, he ran as an independent presidential candidate, securing a million signatures with the help and sacrifice of volunteers – a nearly impossible feat – but no media outlet would cover or interview him, and he was embroiled in a legal battle with the Democratic Party to prevent him from running.
His speech revealed how pharmaceutical and chemical companies in the U.S. have been lobbying regulatory agencies, including the FDA, to sicken the food industry. He exposed how fast food and cheap processed foods in the U.S. are loaded with artificial colors, syrups made from GMO corn, and sweeteners of unknown origin, which is why American children are becoming more obese, diabetic, and autistic. He also talked about how behind the Russian war in Ukraine are defense contractors supplying weapons to NATO, and companies like Monsanto and DuPont lobbying to produce GMO crops on devastated farms. And the conscience call that BlackRock, an investor in these companies, is at the pinnacle of this evil was shocking. And then finally, when he said that these capital forces are intentionally fomenting political conflict and getting people to hate each other so that people lose their sense of discernment, it made me think that maybe the same thing is happening in South Korea.
Sure, you could understand his political actions as something he did for his own political position or gain in the end, but listening to the story he shared on the Tucker Carlson show, you could feel his sincerity. In his interview about how he would give his life if he could save the life of an unfortunate child who was autistic from birth, you could see a great American individual. He already had in his heart the spirit of sacrifice to make the world a little better through his dedication, and the courage to stand up to the power of big money and the media to tell the truth. And his bold testimony of faith was impressive, saying that he had lived an unhappy and debauched life from his childhood, even falling into cocaine addiction, but that his life changed after meeting God. I pray that we will have such politicians and leaders in South Korea, and that even in a country modeled after the United States, which was founded on Christian values, people will no longer lose their discernment in the conflict between those who follow people’s democracy and those who follow liberal democracy.
