Whale of an Attack on RFK, Jr.
The world witnessed another example of how far the weaponized U.S. government will go to destroy someone who speaks out against it when an investigation was opened on former presidential candidate turned Trump supporter RFK, Jr. for taking a sample of a whale carcass for study 25 years ago.
The acclaimed environmentalist, who served on the board of the Hudson Riverkeeper organization, is a student of the Earth’s flora and fauna and has amassed a significant body of scientific knowledge over the years, including that of marine mammals. The whale incident recently coming to light didn’t sit well with the National Marine Fisheries Service, which joined his opponents in raking him over the coals.
The Internet was flooded with exasperated news reports of the long-time Democrat, and now heretic to the Left, sawing off the head of a dead whale he found on a Massachusetts beach and bungee corded it to the roof of the family minivan for a ride across state lines for study as his New York home. This came after he was excoriated for allegedly dumping a dead baby bear in Central Park.
The whale tale drew the ire of the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, which spurred the government to see if he’s run afoul of the Marine Animal Protection Act. They called on him to give up any and all illegally obtained wildlife that may be in his collection.
Kennedy took the opportunity to rip the scab off the deep state’s lawfare tactics, saying, “First of all, the investigation is a joke. The Center for Biological Diversity is an NGO (non-governmental organization) that essentially is a subsidiary of the Democratic Party. They're doing advertising almost every day for Kamala Harris. Before that, they did it for Joe Biden.” As an NGO, the organization is funded through taxpayer dollars.
“But I see something now happening to the environmental movement where we're seeing these enormous whale kills now happening, Kennedy went on to say. “A hundred and nine whales have died in the last two years. On the East Coast, something like this has never happened before.
And it's all in the vicinities of these new wind farms that are being put up. There's 21 permits. They're privatizing essentially 5,000 square miles of ocean bottom between the Gulf of Maine and North Carolina.
While the fisheries service is going after Kennedy, its parent organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration refuses to investigate the whale kills despite 17 environmental groups calling on them to do so. “People should understand, the owners of these wind power farms are almost all foreign governments or large giant multinational corporations based in other countries. They're not American,” Kennedy stressed.
According to the nephew of President John F. Kennedy and son of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, “Offshore wind makes no economic sense, particularly in the United States. The offshore wind industry is just a boondoggle, and nobody would do it except with vast government subsidies.”
Kennedy went on to say that a third of the cost of the offshore wind farms, such as Sunrise Wind off Long Island’s eastern tip, amounting to “billions and billions of dollars are being paid by tax breaks that are given in the Inflation Reduction Act, which is Joe Biden's signature environmental legislation. That is the legislation by which he stakes his claim to be on this side of the environmental movement. And the Inflation Reduction Act is a giant, giant boondoggle to these kind of projects.”
The mislabeled Inflation Reduction Act and the Biden-Harris war on fossil fuels are key drivers of the massive spike in prices Americans have suffered during the last three and a half years of their administration.
“So the foreign companies and foreign governments cannot take advantage of US tax breaks. So they go for financing through Black Rock, Goldman Sachs, Morgan City Bank, and Wells Fargo,” Kennedy pointed out. “These are all Democrat aligned entities that contribute to the party and have a huge influence on them.
They are the ones who are making money and financing these things. And they essentially have immunity from any kind of an intervention,” he continued.
“For six years, they've been stonewalling an investigation of all these deaths. They're wiping out whales and thousands of porpoises, and the large environmental groups inside the Beltway are sitting around on the sidelines, trying not to talk about this. Meanwhile, on the ground, the local environmental groups, there's 17 of them that have been asking since 2018 that this be investigated. Instead, they investigated me a week after I joined the Unity Party with Donald Trump.”
