For the last three years, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been one of America’s strongest voices in defending our Constitutional Republic from public health officials and politicians wielding emergency power. In a series of rousing speeches reminiscent of his father’s famous University of Capetown address in 1966, RFK, Jr. has articulated why we should never allow our constitution to be compromised by fallible men who promise to keep us safe. Today, April 5, 2023, he filed with the Federal Election Commission to run for President of the United States in the 2024 election. Mr. Kennedy was an environmental activist thirty years before it became fashionable. For decades, he worked as an attorney to protect the natural world from corporate industrial polluters. He has been especially troubled by the contamination of our waterways such as the Hudson River with hazardous waste, including mercury. In 2005 he became concerned about a mercury compound used as a preservative in childhood vaccines, which prompted him to conduct a thorough investigation of vaccine safety in general. He found it especially alarming that the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act granted vaccine manufacturers immunity from all civil and criminal liability for injuries or deaths caused by their products.”

Before the defenders of individual freedom can evaluate the epistemology of the opposition I believe that they should take great care to ensure that their own epistemology is on solid ground. In this case, IMO they should read “The Toxicity of Environmentalism” by Reisman available free of charge at Mises.org. We are already plagued with Gore, Kerry and others why on earth would we want to throw in with Kennedy Jr.?
I would think that the position of Lighthouse Economics would be to sound the Klaxons warning about bringing Kennedy into the mix. We are tipping over anyway, might as well let him get his fingerprints on the troubles even more than they already are. The man from NRDC!
