RUTHFULLY YOURS

What if I told you that cartels and other bad actors from around the world conspired to undermine the integrity of the health care system in the U.S. and came way too close to succeeding? If you didn’t hear about the bust of 324 people; the U.S.-based cartel shell medical supply companies; the pill mills pushing opioids; the doctors on the take; or how law enforcement captured many of the bad guys at the U.S. border and airports as they rushed to escape, that’s understandable. The feds revealed this potential $14.6 billion “depth charge” planted inside the Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance programs in June, while  most people were away on summer vacation.

Why did transnational organizations go after these particular programs? “Criminals go where the money is,” Acting Health and Human Services Inspector General,Juliet Hodgkins said at a news conference about “the largest health care fraud takedown in American history.” There’s more than $1.4 trillion spent by these government programs per year, and the bad guys have tried, by hook or by crook, and even with the aid of AI, to set into motion plans to steal nearly $15 billion. They got away with just shy of $3 billion before they were caught, and their other frauds were frozen in their tracks.

If this bust looks to you like it had Elon Musk’s old Department of Government Efficiency fingerprints on it, you’d be right. Using AI and law enforcement tactics, the DOGE team worked with HHS, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid, and an all-hands-on-deck array of federal agents from the DEA, FBI, and health care agencies to track down all fraud leads, according to Dr. Mehmet Oz, head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). As a result, the feds are setting up a healthcare data fusion center to detect where fraud spikes are occurring in near real time.

“DOGE is involved,” Oz told reporters in June. “The president has been very clear that he wants this fraud, waste and abuse crushed. That’s the word that’s used.” He continued, “DOGE is not just about cutting waste and fraud within government. [It] has been actively involved at CMS in helping us address places where fraud is existing that we never thought to look.” 

Oz said these bad guys were sophisticated and used state-of-the-art methods to rip the government programs blind.

[T]hat’s how we’re being attacked now, and it’s not done by small-time operators, as you’re hearing about and you will read about. These are organized syndicates who are designing to hurt America. And why do they hurt our health care system? Well, CMS is probably the largest target of all, responsible for about $1.7 trillion dollars of disbursements. So, it’s a big target on our side. And they can pierce the veil of protection by just getting identifier numbers from our seniors or Medicaid recipients or others.

NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya told Newsmax on Thursday night that he supports Florida’s plan to end all vaccine mandates and researching concerns about vaccine side effects raised by HHS Secretary Kennedy.

Bhattacharya argued that mandates are not the most effective way to get the most people vaccinated. “The European strategy is different, and they’ve had better results than we do on essential vaccines like MMR,” he said. “In the UK, Sweden, and Denmark, all vaccines are voluntary. None of them have mandates for any of their vaccines. What they do have is public health that doesn’t lie to their people.”

“They’re not coercing people—they’re reasoning with them. I’m not making an announcement for the administration; I’m giving you my view as an epidemiologist. That seems the better approach: talk to people, show them the data, be honest when there are problems, and treat people like adults, especially parents, so they can make good decisions for their families,” Bhattacharya said.

“I don’t think the MMR vaccine causes autism, based on my reading of the scientific evidence,” he also said. “But I also know we don’t understand the rise in autism. The recent prevalence numbers are 1 in 31 kids; a few decades ago, it was 1 in 10,000. We really don’t know the etiology.”

“As NIH Director—at the behest of Secretary Kennedy and President Trump—I’ve ordered an honest evaluation of the causes of autism,” Bhattacharya said. “Through the normal NIH process, 250 research groups across the country competed, and we’ll select the top dozen based on scientific review. Those projects should be ready to start by the end of this month—in record time. We need to open our minds, ask the real questions, and get answers with excellent science. That’s the right way—instead of all this disputation.”

ROB SCHMITT, NEWSMAX: You saw [HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.] silenced a lot during this hearing as he attempted to disprove a lot of the allegations that were hurled at him. I thought that was so interesting—the people who never let somebody talk are trying to claim that they’re the good guys. That can’t be right.

DR. JAY BHATTACHARYA: Well, free speech suppression was a key tactic of public health during the pandemic. I can tell you from firsthand experience, so it wouldn’t surprise me. But I thought Secretary Kennedy got a lot of great points in—even though he wasn’t given much opportunity to respond.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/surgeon-wore-palestinian-badge-while-153023650.html

A surgeon at a London NHS hospital wore a Palestinian badge while operating on a Jewish patient.

The patient, who had an operation at the Royal Free Hospital in Belsize Park, north London, last month, was left “extremely distressed” after spotting the badge on the member of staff’s lanyard.

She said she “found it extremely stressful to be treated by this doctor, given her blatant political views” and that “she felt the doctor could do her some harm”.

Earlier this year, Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, said he would ban NHS staff from displaying pro-Palestinian badges as part of a crackdown on anti-Semitism in the health service.

In a letter to the Board of Deputies of British Jews in May, Mr Streeting vowed to snuff out “the appalling experiences of anti-Semitism affecting Jewish staff and patients” in the NHS.

UK Lawyers for Israel, which the patient contacted after the operation, accused the Royal Free London NHS Trust of breaching equality legislation.

In a letter to trust bosses, the group said staff wearing the Palestinian flag badge could constitute harassment by the hospital, breaching Section 29 (3) of the Equality Act 2010, since it may create “an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment” for Jewish patients.

The lawyers’ group said the display of the badge “indicates support for the Palestinian cause, and conversely, opposition to the State of Israel”. It said the surgeon, who has not been named, was “prioritising her own political opinions over care and empathy for her patients”, which breached General Medical Council regulations.

In my January 30, 2022 article, “A Short History of Medicine and Megalomania,” I explain how holistic medicine is actually the original western medicine established on the principle of strengthening the immune system to fight off pathogens in the environment. It is traditional western medicine that is the alternative medicine because its fundamental premise is that medications are required to be healthy:

My point is that the chemical/pharmaceutical companies are pouring toxic chemicals into the environment that destroy public health -> then the chemical/pharmaceutical companies offer more chemicals and pharmaceuticals to “cure” what they caused in the first place. It is a never-ending cycle of destruction of public health. The United States is at the bottom of the totem pole in world health because the American medical community is driven by unscrupulous globalists and the corrupt politicians who serve them.

RFK Jr.’s book, The Real Anthony Fauci, is enlightening in this regard because it connects the dots and shows how John D. Rockefeller actually set the stage for the corruption in medicine and academia today. Rockefeller funded the medical education and research that supported the germ theory, but all with his political agenda. If anyone is responsible for political medicine and monsters like Gates and Fauci, it is John D. Rockefeller.

Rockefeller politicized medicine because he understood that vaccines could be used for population control and total social control. The medical tyranny of Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci today, began with John D. Rockefeller and has spun out of control. Big Pharma IS a military wing of the government––medicine has been weaponized and is being used against innocent populations––including our own.

Until President Trump resumed office in 2025, the science was being controlled by corrupt eugenicists like Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates who offer political medicine disguised as public health. The staggering profits made by Big Pharma at the expense of public health during the COVID19 debacle is a stupefying crime perpetrated with the protection of indemnification from vaccine harm. Hopefully, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. now at the helm of the Department of Health & Human Service (HHS), this unconscionable indemnification will be terminated. But what about Big Pharma’s lesser-known crimes?

Psychotherapy used to be a refuge from politics, but it’s become another front in the culture war. Therapists once helped people face reality. Today, more and more, they urge patients to interpret it through a hierarchy of oppression.

As a psychotherapist with more than two decades of experience, I have observed this shift firsthand. Hundreds of patients have come to me after being frustrated or even harmed by previous therapists, who encouraged them to interpret their struggles through the lens of identity politics.

A black man, for example, came to me after a failed round of therapy with another provider. He wasn’t just anxious; he was disillusioned. “I went in for help managing anxiety,” he said. “But the therapist kept steering the conversation back to racism, even though I never brought it up. I left feeling like I was being treated as a black person first, and a human being second.”

A gay man told a similar story. “I wanted help managing stress at work,” he said. “But every session focused on supposed shame over being gay, even though that wasn’t why I was there. I felt pushed into a narrative that didn’t fit me.”

Graduate programs are no longer producing healers, but political activists with therapy licenses. Instead of teaching students to treat anxiety, depression, or relationship issues using evidence-based methods, many programs now encourage trainees to develop “critical consciousness.” That means guiding clients to interpret their distress through the lens of systemic oppression, rather than addressing individual agency, patterns, or choices.

It’s America’s loss that Vinay Prasad will not be able to make the changes necessary to restore trust in public health officials.

Three months ago, Dr. Marty Makary, the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, named Dr. Vinay Prasad to serve as the head of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, a division that “regulates biological products for human use” and oversees their safety and effectiveness. In making the announcement on X, he described his new hire, a well-known oncologist, Substacker, and frequent critic of the public-health establishment, like this: “Dr. Prasad brings the kind of scientific rigor, independence, and transparency we need at CBER.”

We have long admired Prasad for precisely the reasons Makary cited, and have been proud to publish his pieces on such subjects as scientific fraud and the loss of trust in public health. One of his early policy decisions as the head of CBER was to end the unnecessary and divisive federal recommendation that young children be vaccinated against Covid-19. Dr. Prasad was an outspoken critic of government overreach during the pandemic, and with this act, it seemed possible that he could help restore the public’s lost faith in federal health institutions. 

Which is why we were so dismayed to read on Tuesday that he had abruptly left the agency. (You can read the backstory here, reported by our Gabe Kaminsky.)

Technically Prasad resigned, but it was under pressure from an ugly and unfounded smear campaign carried out by strange bedfellows, including Wall Street Journal editorial writer Allysia Finley, right-wing influencer Laura Loomer, former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum and, it would appear, by Sarepta Therapeutics, a company whose recently approved drug he had halted when two teenage patients and a young boy in Brazil died after taking it. 

https://www.city-journal.org/article/jama-network-science-diseases-dei-inequity

In his novel The Magic Mountain, Thomas Mann describes wealthy European consumptives who retreat to a sanitorium high in the Swiss Alps, convinced that thin air aids in treating pulmonary tuberculosis. In their self-contained community, they affirm their faith in contemporary medical practices while delaying the demands of life in the “flatlands.”

Medical researchers, it seems, are retreating to a sanatorium of their own. Based on our analysis, leading medical journals increasingly lean left and are abandoning scientific principles in service of progressive ideology.

We began by conducting a keyword search of every article published in the JAMA Network—a group of 13 medical journals affiliated with the American Medical Association—between April 1 and May 31. The phrase “diversity, equity, and inclusion” appeared 56 times, more often than atherosclerosis (45) and osteoporosis (16). Another progressive-coded term, “inequity,” showed up 99 times—more than asthma (75) or opioid use disorder (65).
