“I’ve never voted and to be honest there's never been a person that I felt like I would vote for."
In the course of the Hawaiian winter just gone and shortly before the Lexus Pipe Pro, Kelly Slater and prez hopeful Robert F Kennedy Jr went public with their friendship, sharing a couple of waves together for the cameras.
Bobby, of course, is the jacked-to-hell seventy-year-old former junkie son of attorney general Robert Kennedy, who was murdered by Palestinian terrorist Sirhan Sirhan (Yay! Palestine!), and the nephew of president John Fitz Kennedy, murdered by Commo sniper Lee Harvey Oswald.
(A little side note: Sirhan Sirhan is currently enjoying his 55th year behind bars at the Richard J Donovan prison near San Diego. Oswald got plugged by patriot Jack Ruby shortly after his arrest.)
Kennedy and Slater met at a Surf Industry Manufacturers Awards in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico twenty years ago. Kennedy described Slater as “one of my heroes.”
The pair’s relationship has deepened over the past four year after what both regarded as government overreach during the COVID-19 epidemic.
“I had seen what was happening at J-Bay. They had arrested numerous surfers. They hadn’t had swell in months, and the first good swell that came, the beaches were padlocked and guys got arrested and charged 5,000 Rand,” said Slater in an excellent interview with Surfer magazine.
“I told my friend, what I’d do is paddle out about an hour and a half before dark, surf well into dark, and catch a wave all the way to Albatross. Then I’d run into a friend’s house, and they’d never catch me. I mean, I might get recognized, but they wouldn’t catch him. Really, you’re not hurting anyone. And during that time, you’d see all these people running on sidewalks and working out outside, and it would be crowded, but the ocean would be empty. Surfers were being arrested in Peru, Costa Rica. I told my friend in San Diego to just surf well into dark. The boats can’t come get you in the whitewater. So, he actually did it. And he texted me after and said he had to hide in the bushes for about 45 minutes. He didn’t commit a crime or hurt anyone. Pointing out the hypocrisy is what we were trying to do. Of course, no wanted anyone to infect anyone or hurt anyone, but some of the rules didn’t seem to make sense.”
Anyway, Kelly Slater delivered a bombshell on Robert F Kennedy’s Instagram yesterday throwing shade on his former BFF and celebrated two-term president Barack Obama.
“I’ve never voted and to be honest there’s never been a person who has a chance that I felt like I would vote for. Essentially I felt like my vote wouldn’t matter and people always say no your vote matters and everyone needs to vote. It feels to me like everyone is always out there saying you need to vote you need to vote. Well they want you to vote the way they want you to vote.”
Kelly Slater also warned listeners about listening to their state masters.
“Maybe we’re not always being told the truth and you need to look into things, talk to people who are there, listen to alternative theories about things, you know? I don’t know, I guess at the end of the day I want to be in control of my health and the direction of my life and I don’t want to impede on anyone else and that’s what’s important to me.”
Wise words.
Bobby Kennedy, I’m not so sure about, howevs, and admit a preference for Obama.

Kennedy “The horse fled the Stable.” Any thing Left or Demon Crat Shat Everyone’s Bed for 4 years. 🐻🤽🏻♂️
Derek do you reckon the amount of civilians killed by Israel might be a bit excessive?
do you think the 600,000 civilians killed by the coalition of the willing might have been a bit excessive…….Israel is now only 565,000 from equaling the USA/Australia record!
Yeah both things can be true
Kelly won’t vote because he has no interest in serving jury duty because it is a sacrifice of his time for public service.
Allabout Kelly, it is.
Poor chinese preg GF
Could be, great point, same narcissism
Unfortunately, the Kennedy’s have this historical, generational curse where everybody gets either gets killed or die fairly early in life.
it’s the worms!!!!
May very well be the demise for this Kennedy.
Exactly. It’s mind blowing. People like her are the American version of the Taliban.
PPP could only used to assist payroll keeping employees employed
I don’t watch movies/news. It turns people into ignorant cucks! ^^^^^^^^case made
There was nothing wrong with that phone call.
Compare that with Democrat Secretaries of State illegally changing the rules of voting, allowing mass mail-in voting, drop boxes and ballot harvesting when the EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY regarding State voting rules lies with that State’s Legislative body.
Kelly was right about beach closures and the mRNA shots, as data is finally getting out. Cloth masks were a fraud. 6 foot social distancing was pulled out of someone’s ass, no science involved. Having to wear a mask to walk into a bar, then taking it off for the rest of the night once you got to the bar itself, was a joke. Massive crowded urban protests without any distancing or masks, as long as the protests were Establishment approved, revealed the bullshit. The total lack of COVID outbreaks at these events, reveal it, too.
I’m sure no RFK Jr fan boy but real world, here: any opinion needs to be contextualized. Compared with Biden? Compared with Trump?
Refusing to vote in a corrupt system, for better or worse, is a conscious principle for many anarchists and libertarians. It’s humility if you look at the candidates and honestly can’t in good conscience give your approval for either one. Maybe not voting is ineffective, but it’s not unjustifiable.
Personally I want a binding “none of the above” option, where if no candidate gets at least 50% in any given election, it has to be re run with different candidates. But there’s no way the powers that be, aka the “Uniparty”, are going to let go of the power they hold in the present system.
I don’t take my political advice from pro athletes, but Slater isn’t wrong.
until they fix the electoral college system, my vote in presidential elections is essentially worthless.
it’s the “undecided” swing voters in a very few counties of about 4-5 states who seem to decide the damn things anyway. nothing else is really in play. it’ll be the same in november.
Voter fraud happened more than you’re willing to admit. Democrats overwhelmingly voted more mail-in than in-person. Mass mail-in ballots with ballot harvesting, and BS illegal rule changes to voting because of Covid was fraud committed on the American public.
Over a thousand voted twice in Georgia. Likely mostly in Atlanta. The figure is closer to three thousand.

This year Trump support is too big to rig.
he has less support now than ever before….look at all the republicans still Voting for Nikki Haley, as a protest vote against the Stormy/orange one!
Wow, Slater the narcissistic nihilist who isn’t half as smart as he thinks he is.
And DR who is, by all accounts, a decent, stand-up guy but is going in to bat (again) for a country that even many Israelis and Jews think is fascist.
Looks like Einstein was right all along about Israel.
I used to think RFK used to smoke two packs a day. Though the more I listen to him I am pretty sure it was 3.
Pretty much spot on. Did you see that Katie Britt wants to create a national database of pregnant women? Freedom my ass.

Everyone is a massive kook, somewhere.
Well Kell… if you don’t vote then STFU. Mahalo.
Beat me too it.
If you dont vote you have zero say about how shit the politicians are
Oh, you watch “the news”….
Kelly is gunna have to go into politics now. It’s the only way the spotlight won’t turn away from him slowly and I’m sure he knows that.
Typical misleading headline that forces you to read the whole thing to find out what actually happened. This man was convicted of felony check fraud in 1999 and his voting privileges were suspended for I think it was 5 years. He failed to report during the suspension and it continued to be pushed back for years. Then he voted as himself in nine separate elections in 2008 and 2009 within his voting district. Not at all the same thing as the headline makes it sound. He did not in fact vote nine times in an election. He voted illegally as himself in nine separate elections in 2008 and 2009 claiming he was unaware his voting rights were still under suspension. 9/10 readers would read that headline and conclude he voted in the 2020 election nine separate times.
A tale as old as time…
