“I’d love to dismantle the Fed altogether" - RFK Jr. at ETHDenver 2024

“I’ve probably sued EPA more than any other attorney; I’ve sued the Department of Agriculture; I’m involved in litigation right now involving the Department of Transportation; I’ve sued FDA, CDC, NIH, USDA, etc.

When you sue these agencies, you get a PhD in corporate capture and you understand how to unravel it.

In many of these agencies, I understand who the particular individuals are who need to be moved… but also the perverse incentives that put agency capture on steroids.

I’ve never sued the Fed, but I know what I want to do with the Fed, which is to restore transparency, to restore sovereignty, to make sure the Fed is not a tool of Wall Street… by the way, I’d love to dismantle the Fed altogether.

My uncle John Kennedy launched, right before he died, the silver certificates and the gold certificates, because he understood the importance of base currency.

He understood how the Fed had been captured, even back then, by Wall Street to create these inflationary cycles that were driving wealth upward and serving to consolidate wealth and to consolidate the power of the Wall Street banks.

The Fed originally was created in order to make solvent, stable financial institutions during financial crises and to create liquidity.

But it has devolved into a different function, and I am going to unravel that.

I’m going to restore sovereignty and transparency to that institution, and I’m going to make it so that Main Street is the focus of American political economy rather than Wall Street.”
