This wide-ranging discussion is critical background for anyone alive in 2023.

I recorded this at 1.75 x speed and listened to it at 2 x speed. Use headphones. If you want to listen to the original, HERE it is. 

Kennedy’s voice has recovered. He discusses the news that the MI5 British spy organization works with US and British news platforms and social media to censor us. The corporations are purportedly private entities and can legally do this, but when they conspire with the government, they violate the First Amendment and should be prosecuted. 

Kennedy explains why the First Amendment is so important and how it is the foundation of US law. He also describes many corruption problems in America and discusses the “amnesty” articles that are appearing.

RFK recently announced his entry into the US presidential race. His plans for how he will win are credible. Mercola told the audience that this gave him “an incredible sense of hope” and that he “got goosebumps” when Kennedy said he was running for president. I had the same reaction. RFK is our best chance to clean up the mess and turn back the genocidal corporations. I will get involved with his race.

Caveats: Kennedy commented about the recent railroad disaster, blaming it on corporations that refused to spend billions updating obsolete braking systems. My railroad engineer insider Fred Smith who helped me write THIS post, told me today that the newer technology is not revolutionary and would have produced only a moderate improvement in stopping distance. His opinion is that this would not have prevented the accident. 

Kennedy also criticized the single engineer system, saying there should be two. This sounds reasonable, but although RFK is credible about so much else, he is a layman here. The bottom line is that having dual engineers has been considered and rejected many times and that the accident was due to mechanical failure. To explain, I put Fred Smith’s comment at the end of this post.

It is easy to point fingers because of all we have seen recently. Companies do whatever they can get away with, and our regulatory structures are in tatters. However, I was persuaded by some of the most experienced railroad people in the US that a train crash conspiracy was unlikely.

RFK is an environmental lawyer and sees issues through that lens. He hates pollution and corporate abuses of our country’s environment. I have no skills in his area, but my inferences from what I have read are that our ability to control the poisons we produce has gradually improved and that we compare favorably with the rest of the world. 

After years of a daily tsunami of idiocy hitting my intellectual windshield, I refuse to believe the sky is falling—ever. You must not fall prey to this either. Worry doesn’t empty tomorrow of it’s sorrow but it does empty today of it’s strength (Corrie Ten Boom.) Stay frosty but calm, for we all have important work and must play our parts. This includes donating to Mr. Kennedy’s election campaign at TeamKennedy.com. I did.

Fred’s comment about having two conductors on every train: Hardly anyone has a clue. In short, there has always been one engineer. In the old days, an engineer and a fireman were in the cab. With no steam engines, there was no need for a fireman. Even so, the firemen remained until the 1970s, and in the 80s, the conductor and brakeman were in cabooses. With improvements in communication technology, the conductor went up into the cab, and they got rid of the brakeman position. Now, in place of the caboose, a telemetry device tells the engineer if the train’s rear is intact. This is also called the Freight Read End Device (FRED). When the engineer places the brake handle in the emergency position, a signal goes to the FRED to expel air from the train line pipe, so the brake action starts from both ends of the train, which is a good thing. Railroads want to eliminate the conductor altogether, but that is getting stiff resistance. The bottom line is that the accident was a mechanical failure and had nothing to do with crew size. Heck, in the early 1900s, a fireman and an engineer were both in the cab. Plus a conductor, brakeman, and flagman in the caboose.

    What RFK describes around the four minute mark was what took place during the lockdown. Big business colluded with the state to crush smaller competitors.

    Thank you!

    Of course, in the manner of RFK, Jr, we reflexively blame corporations, such as the train companies, as they usually are culpable.
    u00A0
    But, why, pray tell, are these train companies being asked to carry all of this hazardous material?u00A0 Why was this company tasked te ferry hydroxin, phosgene, and who know what else.u00A0 What was the objective?u00A0 I bid you to read Yoichi Shimatsu’s articles on Rense.com.

    Further, how did the government respond to this environmental disaster?u00A0 Enter the EPA.u00A0 I am not sure, but I think it was Jon Rappoport who directed me to Eric Coppolino’s stunning research.

    This article broke open the story u2014 a source came forward u2014 there is a LOT more here…the no dump rule is actually 1980, the 2022 memo clarifies military operations primarily.

    EPA guidance from 2022 expressly prohibits open detonation, dump & burn operations

      As a retired manager with most of my experience in construction, maintenance, and inspection my knowledge of why “being asked” is somewhat limited. I do know alternatives for some are not possible due to the engineering limits of pipelines and the properties of some of the commodities. The alterative would be by truck for the bulk, not so good.

    Thank you for posting this. Great that Robert Kennedy has found a way to heal his voice. It makes so much possible for him.

  • Avatar Charlotte Z says:

    This was an excellent interview and I thank you for sharing it. RFK,JR would be able to drain the swamp if given the chance. We can hope and pray with faith toward that outcome.

    “Kennedy’s voice has recovered.” Yes, I have noticed that too.

    Spasmodic dysphonia, also known as laryngeal dystonia, is a lifelong [incurable] neurological condition. Mr. Kennedy has received the blessing of healing and I believe it is because he is using his voice for truth and justice and freedom and to save lives.

    Pray for RFK Jr.

    FRED originally stood for flashing rear end device, and they were nothing but a flashing light (railroaders had a different word for the F). Over time they’ve become more functional, and could be even more functional if railroads were willing to spend some money. Heat and vibration sensors could be installed on every car to warn of developing problems before they become catastrophes. The costs of employing more people in cabooses to spot problems, or upgrading a fleet of railcars with sensors is weighed against the cost of occasional derailments. Public safety becomes irrelevant when there’s money to be made.

    Also, there was no reason to puncture the tank cars at East Palestine and burn off the chemicals. Tank cars are designed and built to retain their integrity in the event of an accident. Fill valves and relief valves are protected, and the steel that the tanks are built from does not shred into shrapnel if the tank is over pressurized to the point of failure. They would just split open. Cooling any cars that were in danger of overheating with fire hoses, especially in February, would have been more than adequate to keep control of the situation while the hazardous materials were transferred to trucks. But of course, it would have taken much longer to clear the wreckage and get rail traffic moving again, and time is money.

    • Avatar Frederick R Smith says:

      Thanks for your comments. Based on conversations with my rail hazmat contacts, I offer the following for your consideration.

      Tank cars on their sides from a wreck have the safety relief valve covered by liquid. They normally function on the vapor in an upright position. Thus, when in a wreck on their sides, cars go into a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE) because the liquid boils, and the vapor expands exponentially at the weakest point, causing the car to fail with sometimes airborne dynamics.

      First responders are always at risk, even in auto accidents, house fires, etc. With respect to “cooling,” it is easy to criticize the decisions on the ground. We do not know all the details about the orientation of the cars and the reaction of the contents. As bad as things are, we must give some credence to the professionals on the ground who had to make very critical decisions.

    As a follow-up on the railroad discussion, additional analysis is in order. First, the transportation of hazardous materials by rail is nothing new. Statistically, the vast majority of the commodities get to the intended destination without incident. Of note, as coal traffic declines, oil traffic, and ethanol traffic increase. It is obvious which of these three commodities is very safe to transportu2014an example of a negative related to the Green New Deal.

    Nevertheless, nasty stuff like vinyl chloride makes modern life possible. Of course, there should always be work done to improve safety. Being in that industry for 45 years, I can say there is no nefarious “plan.” Nevertheless, I am concerned about crony capitalism and its potential impact on rail safety.

    There is a lot of talk about the reduction of railroad employees (particularly train crews) and how that negatively impacts the safe movement of freight. As the raw numbers demonstrate, the accident trends for the past 30 years are down. What needs to occur is an analysis that “normalizes” the number of derailments/collisions against a metric such as million gross of annual traffic (MGT). I plan on taking a deep dive to see what shows up. Stay tuned.

    As for the reduction in the number of train crews, that is true. Class I operations (the large railroads) along their major trunk lines are doubling (and more!) long trains. I have concerns about these monsters, called very long trains (VLT). But not for the reasons most think about. The buff (compression) and draft (tension) forces thru the length of the VLT trains are dissipated by engines interspersed the entire train length. That technology is called distributed power unit (DPU) operation. The engineer controls all the DPU engines through state-of-the-art radio and electronics. That does an excellent job of dissipating the buff and draft forces.

    While the DPUs do an excellent job controlling train forces, there are a host of additional problems associated with this method of operation. Briefly, VLTs block crossings too long (e.g., blocking first responders), make it near impossible for the conductor to walk next to the train in an emergency (some trains are over two miles long), and VLTs gum up the fluidity of train lines. And that is just for starters.

    Back to E Palestine. Because of this crash, the lack of electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes has taken on mystical powers. If the train was ECP equipped, that may have mitigated the pile-up. By how much that is “beyond my paygrade.” Still, ECPs would not have prevented this accident.

    All the above notwithstanding, the likely cause was the failure of a roller-bearing journal. That exact type of failure, occurring less than a dozen times a year nationwide, while uncommon, is nothing new. After seeing the NTSB’s forensic reconstruction, we will know the root cause. At first blush, it is an item focused on mechanical. Also, the alert threshold of the wayside detectors is under scrutiny.

    Happy railroading.

    Regulatory capture by Big Agra, Big Pharma, Big Tech, etc. IS what lies at the bottom of many of the issues our time. The lobbyists who line the pockets of politicians, who then perform favors that scrape by, or go under the radar of regulatory, or more importantly COLUDE with gov regulatory/politicians, is the KEY to RESTORING OUR REPUBLIC.

    Robert Kennedy will never be President but if he plays his cards well President Trump might consider him for a position in his administration. Democrats will lose bigin 2024 . Dr Yoho is a political ignoramus.

    • Avatar Robert Yoho MD (ret) says:

      Predicting the future is a fool’s game. Let’s hope for the best overall results, for that is how history will judge what happens today. All is unpredictable, including whether we will get an honest election. During the race, Kennedy will have a voice that cannot be as easily censored and this may make a difference. Yes, although he has to be optimistic, the odds against him are long.

  • Avatar Robert Yoho MD (ret) says:

    You are right and we are in deep whatever. I doubt if your cynicism and anger are greater than mine and I’m no expert on politics, as another commenter said. We do know that the dems are worse; see Whitney Webb’s A Nation Under Blackmail. RFK’s contributions and possibilities are far broader than vaccines. We must play every card we have and he is a great hope. I don’t delude myself about odds. Best

  • Avatar ArnoldF says:

    Dr, the train engineer and the brake issues are all side issues and distractions. the real issue is burning vinyl chloride in the open air is a crime. I am shocked that he was allowed to go down this path of discussion the East Palestine disaster and not be called out on it.
