When Congress passed the bill that said corporations have the same rights as an individual it was the endgame that will allow American global corporations to dictate economic conditions that will maximize their profitability. It also provided them with the ability to decide who shall be elected to Congress. It ended the era of we the people for the people by the people. Good example is Thomas Massey losing reelection because an unknown politician was provided with $30 million in political money. 💰

Union money and corporate money... Organizations that co-opt the political power of the individual in politics.

I am reading a fascinating book that just came out called TRUMP'S NEW WORLD RE-ORDER Dismantling the Deep State and Ending Postwar Globalist Rule, by Rod D. Martin with a forward by Eric Metaxas, author of another great book Revolution.

One passage in this essay immediately made me think about medicine:

“Regulatory complexity can strengthen the very companies it is supposedly intended to restrain.”

I keep finding the same mechanism in the history of medical technologies. Large manufacturers can absorb the costs of regulation, GMP, validation, legal work and constant adaptation to changing requirements. Small laboratories, public institutes and producers of older, low-margin technologies often cannot.

And then something strange happens: a technology does not need to be banned in order to disappear.

Romania is a remarkable example. For decades, its state-run Cantacuzino Institute produced Polidin, a multibacterial immunomodulatory preparation — at its peak, roughly 15 million ampoules a year. By the time COVID arrived, the product was gone.

What fascinates me is what happened next.

The institute still existed. The institutional memory had not completely vanished. The product was still remembered. Its 93-year-old co-creator, Dr. Sylvia Hoișie, returned to the public debate.

And yet Polidin could not simply be brought back.

That raises a much broader question: can a regulatory system created in the name of safety eventually weaken resilience by making smaller, local capabilities too costly or difficult to preserve?

Polidin. Romania Lost Its Biological Shield. Now It Is Trying to Rebuild It.

Like George Carlin said, "It's a big club and you ain't in it". But who is in it has changed to be even further removed from the "regular person" and local control than it ever was. That's not a conspiracy. It's just reality. Of course the financial institutional elites and associates who control the money are in it. Only those who would desire to manipulate and control you would have you believe otherwise. But they don't control the universe, nor does any one individual or group. All we can do is try to maintain our own little spot the best we can, appreciate life and hope that the powers-that-be don't do anything too stupid. Nobody can predict the future, although the "clubs" imagine that they can. Nobody has ever been able to do that. I doubt AI or any other false God is up to that task.

The Dutch East India Company predated this by ~400 years. They were the first western multinational corporation, complete with a private army, navy, etc.

Yeah, nothing new under the sun. Accuse your detractor of what you are actually doingIng.

September 2025, Democratic minority staff of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee issued a report declaring, “Dr. Malone’s conspiracy views extend beyond vaccines.” The report went on to accuse him of promoting theories about a secret, totalitarian world government called the New World Order, citing our 2024 book, PsyWar: Enforcing the New World Order, and quoting Robert’s criticism of the administrative and deep state as evidence.

These "people" myriads of staff on these committees are so secure in their entrenchment and couldn't care less of the PEOPLE who are the Good Faith and Credit that these leaches work for.

I'm sorry. I read this crap from the diatribe generators and I have to just walk away. I cannot tolerate extended BS sessions. That's why I will always support President Trump.

Only the USA citizens should be able to donate. Not corporations!

Oh Oh! Earlier I posted a podcast between Rich and Michael McKibben. Today, in this podcast (17min in ) Barbara Boyd said that what McKibben said about Hamilton was not true. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daRUlw7suK0

Assuming some illuminati exists, I would speculate the Welcome Trust, Black Rock, Berkshire Hathaway and ? might have a sweat at the table. I like to believe there might be some altruism representation, but likely just wishful thinking. Capitalism is brutal, but I do not know what might be better.

Free market enterprise...

Regulatory capture is not capitalism IMO

I have always loved the word Illuminati. It evokes images of secret societies, hidden power, and a handful of extraordinarily influential people quietly deciding the future of the world. Does such an organization actually exist today? Who knows? But if there really were a table around which the world's most powerful interests gathered, I would wager that the largest international banks, investment firms, and financial institutions would have reserved seats. After all, you can debate who governs the world, but it is considerably harder to govern anything without controlling the flow of money. And perhaps that is the more interesting question: Why would the world's financial elite need a secret society when so much of their influence is already exercised in plain sight?

The banks and the oil companies.

This isn't complicated. There are yard placards with "Democracy" plastered on them. Of course the psy-op in the MSM over the last number of years kept hammering about "democracy".
