I think Susie could have supported Malone when the court went against his committee. IMO she allowed Malone etc to be deep sixed. Lets see if the new Chief of Staff is willing to stand up for the children of this country.
To repeat myself (seem to do that a lot lately) there is way too much government in medicine. It is constantly falling over its own feet every time it acts
Ohhhh, I’m still pining away for Texas Econ Ph.D Reps Phil Graham and Dick Armey who suggested a Flat Tax as it would eliminate the need for K-Street parasites to feed on the increasingly suppurating and septic host.
I agree. I have a chronic muscle spasm problem and 70H (kratom derivative) was the only thing that helped. I was careful to take minimum dose (1/8 tablet) and it served me very well, and I took it sparingly. Government, if involved, should be giving me INFORMATION, not taking this away so that Pharma won't have any competition. God forbid we should choose for ourselves!
Governments love Medicine and the Big Money attached to it. However, governments know nothing about health. Most running the government are mentally and physically unhealthy, because of their unhealthy lifestyles. With the government's focus on the money...it has no concern with the toxic effects of the Medical Industry's health destroying products.
My observation of Stephen Miller over the years has been that no one in either Trump admins has said what needed to be said better. Where Trump is prone to hyperbole and boasting, for better or worse, Miller is precise, succinct, accurate, and savage. No fear, no playing nice guy with the press, no pulling of punches. More recently, I have seen him comment on vaccine excesses in a promising way.
I have been disappointed these last two years that a lot of bold promises have withered or fizzled, and I'll be very happy if Mr. Miller is unleashed to carry through on his rhetoric. Perhaps we'll see.
Dark money is destroying our lives, under the promise of cleaning up our food and helping preserve the land for future generations; all seems lost in the desire to gain control and stay in power. It is not the public figures but the back door figures. Thanks again for such important information...
I watched a 15-minute excerpt previously. Starting at 1 minute 29 seconds:
"Susie Wiles, the chief of staff, before she joined the Trump administration, was one of the top lobbyists in the country. She spent her career taking money from Benjamin Netanyahu, who she was a top consultant for, the pharmaceutical industry, the pesticide industry. So just dispassionately, just as a statement of economic fact, Susie Wiles, her career has been taking money from the industries and foreign governments who would pay her the most money."
Could it be like this: Trump has a lot of irons in the fire. Wiles tells Trump, xyz. Trump tells RFK, xyz. RFK reluctantly follows orders from his boss.
But your close is perfect. Stephen Miller is the bulldog’s bulldog. Let ‘er rip, Stephen!
Thanks so much for this analysis. I am almost finished listening to the Means Rogan podcast and it's all pretty appalling what he alleges. You have made it make more sense and provided context and insights. But as much as Means is trying to shield Trump and RFK Jr as ignorant of these machinations, Trump is not a baby and neither is RFK JR. Come on. It seems to me that RFK is just trying to survive. Maybe things will change for the beter now (or maybe the dems will try to impeach RFK). We can only jhope that your recommendations will be enacted. When you hear Means speak, you end up thinking that so many of the people with power over US policy are immoral. It's an eye-opener (as if we need one more after the pandemic lies). Thanks again.
Personally, I have always thought that introducing supermarkets, appetizing processed junk food, and TV advertising -- bigtime into the American market by the 1950s -- was part of the Globalist approach to American destruction. This was the "destroy health" branch.
It was intentional. But like so many of their tactics, they made you think that you wanted it. So your own desires worked against you. They knew this would happen.
The Globalists basically study and unravel human nature, then exploit the loopholes they find there. In order to destroy us. They use the same loophole-exploitation techniques on our formal cultural documents and laws too.
Fortunately there are a lot of us who know how to eat a healthy diet. Many states have developed farmers markets over past 30-40 years which contributes to food options. It appears to be clear in the political world money gathering is the objective, so big rich companies are favored. But I really believe there is the counter force in the more down home level of the electorate. I admire Cally Means and Kennedy and others who are trying to move healthy alternatives to be policy at a higher level. Of course the vaccine debacle is an even more terrifying situation, where maybe some progress has been made. But is trying to change government choices/propaganda going to be possible or is the down level spread of information the more workable choice, such as Kirsch, Malones, trained scientists such ourselves, doctors and informed citizens who understand what we are dealing with and can make good choices. My dad a minister said 30% of the population is on top of things, 30% can be possibly be persuaded by leadership and 30% are never going to get there. So where are we at this point?
"But is trying to change government choices/propaganda going to be possible or is the down level spread of information the more workable choice, such as Kirsch, Malones, trained scientists such ourselves, doctors and informed citizens who understand what we are dealing with and can make good choices. "
I think the down level spread of information is the more viable option, myself.
That being said, you must be careful of who is offering this information. I have come across Substack sites where the Substack host is spouting all sorts of nonsense, but simply because they did not go along with COVID-mania, they are believed. This is going from one incorrect extreme to the opposite incorrect extreme.
The other issue illustrated on the Substack platform, as well as social media in general, is the propensity for people to willingly accept new gods, new authority figures, if they are packaged in a popular manner. The New-Right Media is becoming expert at this packaging, but not always to our benefit. They have backed some real duds too. The credibility-testing is often totally lacking, apart from popularity. Like high school cliques.
Anecdotal comment on glyphosate: I am surrounded by soybeans and corn. The farmer who plants those fields applys at least one round of Roundup and the grains are typically Roundup ready. All harvested over the last couple weeks. I walked the corn stubble, and see pretty much all the undergrowth is grass, not too many other weeds. The corn was treated, 9+ foot tall, shaded the ground almost completely, yet grass and some weeds survived. The beans were planted in 5" rows, and while not as tall as some years, also shaded surface well. It had less, but still some undergrowth. I am wondering if roundup's supposed effectiveness has now disappeared. And farmers are now wasting their money. Unfortunately they are also captured by chemicals and hype, I expect.
A LOT of policy/politics here! It's a miracle to find anybody not bought off by the mega-industries of AG and FOOD and Pharma, etc.
Thank you for your conclusive suggestions for which to watch:
"This essay opened with Secretary Kennedy’s November 6 X post: “Stephen Miller is the strongest MAHA supporter in the administration. It’s time to unleash the Kraken.” The phrase is a commitment, publicly made. Amend the COVID-19 PREP Act declaration under 42 U.S.C. § 247d-6d(b). Withdraw the Moderna mRNA flu-shot license that Makary sent back for further study. Withdraw the Overton nomination from the Senate. Reopen the ultra-processed-food definition process that Wiles’s office pulled. Issue the ICAN-listed vaccine-program reforms. None of these actions requires Congress. None requires the staff Means now names as captured.
The signatures Kennedy adds to the Federal Register over the next ninety days are the answer."
You WATCH. I'll PRAY!!!!! Lord, May we please have some safeguards to not destroy our health so readily!!
this article is a testimony of why this country is on the downhill slide to extinction. The money interests and the government establishment supporting their own interests and are too embedded to dislodge. I've observed for most of my 90 years the corruption growth in our government. I feel for my children's and grandkid's futures.
I see the fact that Means tried to work within an established framework of
corruption, but finally adios’d, as a positive attribute. Oh dear, oh my, he endorses wellness products. lol!! That’s a far-cry from lobbying and collecting money from big-pharma jabbers and pesticiders - both of which are currently involved in a frenzied sort of de-pop hate-dance with an end-goal of killing our children, and us.
For many people, we can't get off of glyphosate fast enough.
However the ag industry was permitted to become dependent upon it in numerous ways, and an excessively rapid removal truly will strain the ability to produce food.
Glyphosate as herbicide will be eventually replaceable, but it would be nice to do so without putting more farmers out of business, and cutting grain production.
On the ground, there is a very significant difference between efficacy of glyphosate and other herbicides, for example the new, nasty Roundup.
Whoever had the bright idea of getting farmers to desiccate the crops for harvest using glyphosate has caused a world of trouble.
As for the Rogan interview, every kind of government and administration uses the limited hangout.
What kind of headache do these people get from the kind of plotting and obtuse angles that are constantly presented? Yes, no/ up down and then sideways just for fun. Feels like the most dangerous tilt-a-whirl yet. Wiley Coyote is the animal behind all this double talk. Your last sentence is so right on. (As usual)
Thank you for laying out the details of this BIG government, power play. It is somewhat understandable why Big Ag goes on, yet don’t get me started on Roundup…Also, the vaccine debacle (mNRA) needs to be pulled off the market. The government Senator, CT, The man with the stroke is now speaking out about the younger population dealing with strokes. He asked but made no specific assertion. We need term limits too.
With no offense meant toward Dr Jill’s British heritage, would you kindly consider changing the Substack reading voice to the non-British accent used previously? We find Substack’s British narrator to be a bit stuffy.
Why is it that there never is a discussion about the Engine that drives our Federal medical bureaucracy. National Academy of Medicine
Governance is a closed loop. NAM has no board of directors; its governing body is an 18-seat Council—three officers (President Monica Bertagnolli, Home Secretary Robert L. Phillips Jr., International Secretary Carlos del Rio) plus 15 at-large councilors elected to three-year terms by the 2,400-member body. Those members are themselves deans, department chairs, and grant-holders, so the 15 "overseers" are chosen by the same institutional class they oversee. Every seat traces back to a university, hospital system, federal agency, or corporation—no patient advocates, no independent researchers, no community physicians.
The revolving door runs both directions. Elias Zerhouni went NIH Director → Sanofi R&D → OPKO Health; Scott Gottlieb went FDA Commissioner → Pfizer's board; Bertagnolli went NCI → NIH → NAM president. Three of eighteen have held the top federal health posts, and two of those three moved straight into industry. Commercial stakes are structural, not incidental: royalties, industry-funded labs, board seats, and diagnostics companies sit in the same room when the Council takes up drug pricing, patent policy, or industry-funded research.
The money explains the direction. NAM runs on roughly $24M in revenue, of which the endowment covers only about 11%; grants and contributions supply ~73%. By dollar weight the federal government is the senior partner (historically near 60% of program support for NAM and the Health and Medicine Division), large foundations second (Robert Wood Johnson, Gates, Rockefeller, Moore, Doris Duke), and pharma third. By corporate-sponsor presence the ranking flips: pharma and biotech first (Merck, Pfizer, J&J, AstraZeneca, BMS, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, plus PhRMA itself), insurers, payers, and distributors second (CVS, Elevance, UnitedHealth, Humana, Aetna, Cencora, Cardinal, McKesson), hospitals and health systems third (HCA, Ascension, Providence, Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, Cedars-Sinai).
So who directs the work? Nominally Bertagnolli, Executive Officer Emilie Marcus, and the Council—but the Council sits atop an organization that cannot fund itself, and the program is set by whoever pays for the forum. The Leadership Consortium makes it explicit: AstraZeneca, Merck, J&J, Medtronic, Sanofi, Kaiser, HCA, Anthem, UnitedHealth Foundation, Epic, and Premier at the table alongside CDC, CMS, FDA, NIH, DoD, VA, and ONC. The regulated write checks to the body that convenes the regulators, everyone produces a consensus document, and the directors ratify a agenda the sponsors already chose.
In my view, Dr Malone is on a real vendetta against RFK. I'm looking forward to a congressional investigation to clear up these issues. Anyone else as HHS secretary would be much more enthusiastic in support than RFK has been. He says what he is required to say. And he did not nominate Susie Wiles -- Trump did, and then required RFK to support this. I no longer have any faith at all in what Dr. M says, just wondering what his motive is.
I think Susie could have supported Malone when the court went against his committee. IMO she allowed Malone etc to be deep sixed. Lets see if the new Chief of Staff is willing to stand up for the children of this country.

Ohhhh, I’m still pining away for Texas Econ Ph.D Reps Phil Graham and Dick Armey who suggested a Flat Tax as it would eliminate the need for K-Street parasites to feed on the increasingly suppurating and septic host.
I thought the flat tax only applied to individuals and not to corporations. Is that not correct? I have been hoping for such a tax for many years!
I agree. I have a chronic muscle spasm problem and 70H (kratom derivative) was the only thing that helped. I was careful to take minimum dose (1/8 tablet) and it served me very well, and I took it sparingly. Government, if involved, should be giving me INFORMATION, not taking this away so that Pharma won't have any competition. God forbid we should choose for ourselves!
Whenever the natural product is altered or adulterated to produce overdoses, blame is misdirected.

Obviously you never looked her up when her name was first suggested.
Busted by the chat room police.
