When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke at the “Defeat the Mandates” rally on Jan. 23, 2022, in Washington, D.C., his warnings sounded like the words of a man deeply concerned about liberty. Nearly four years later, they sound like a roadmap for the world we now see forming around us.
RFK Jr: Within five years, satellites belonging to Bill Gates "will be able to look at every square inch of the planet 24 hours a day."

“They are putting in place all of these technological mechanisms for control we’ve never seen before,” Kennedy said. “It’s been the ambition of every totalitarian state from the beginning of mankind to control every aspect of behavior, of conduct, of thought, and to obliterate dissent.”
He continued, “The mechanisms being put in place will make it so none of us can run and none of us can hide. Within five years, we’re gonna see 415,000 low-orbit satellites. Bill Gates says his 65,000 satellites alone will be able to look at every square inch of the planet 24 hours a day. They are putting in 5G to harvest our data and control our behavior. Digital currency that would allow them to punish us from a distance and cut off our food supply. Vaccine passports. You have a series of rights. As flawed as our government is, you can still go out and go to a bar, you could go to a sporting event, you can get on a bus or an airplane and you can travel. You have certain freedom, you could get educated, etc., the minute they hand you that vaccine passport, every right that you have is transformed into a privilege contingent upon your obedience to arbitrary government dictates. It will make you a slave.”

Every part of that speech is aging like prophecy. The infrastructure for total control—digital surveillance, programmable money, and traceable movement—is being woven quietly into daily life. The world is being remade into a system where freedom is conditional and obedience is rewarded. The warning that rights would be “transformed into a privilege contingent upon obedience” has become the reality of modern governance.
Control of the food chain has always been central to control of the people.
Just this week, CNBC reported on the renewed surge in Beyond Meat stock after it was added to a meme-stock ETF. While the financial press celebrated the rebound as a trading phenomenon, the underlying shift is far more consequential. The world’s most powerful institutions are driving humanity toward synthetic, lab-based food sources—replacing what comes from creation with what can be patented, programmed, and controlled.
This is not about nutrition or environmental care. It’s about dependency. Whoever controls the supply of food controls the survival of nations. Synthetic food is not grown—it’s manufactured. And manufactured products can be regulated, rationed and restricted with the flip of a switch.
The same digital systems being installed to track money, movement and speech are now being integrated into the global food economy. Satellite surveillance monitors agriculture, artificial intelligence predicts consumption, and climate policy is used to justify limiting production. The goal is not sustainability; it is subjugation.

Kennedy’s words, “It will make you a slave,” were not hyperbole. They were a description of what happens when humanity trades creation for control and freedom for convenience. The mechanisms he described are no longer being built—they’re already operational. The world is quietly submitting to a system that promises safety while tightening the noose of dependence.
We were warned. And if his words were true then, they are urgent now.
