Americans have made themselves very sick. Calley Means delivers a long list of terrifying health statistics. "We are savaging our human capital."
“We’re committing genocide against our children."
Government funding is being proposed for corporate media. This will work in tandem with government censorship to muzzle everyone else (as the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals made clear in the case of Missouri v Biden, about to be argued at the U.S. Supreme Court). This dramatic and deplorable proposal is necessary because, as anyone who is paying attention knows, corporate media is a source of non-stop lies on virtually any issue of national importance.
Take-aways from this article:
Establishment media companies are facing a decline in their dominance due to competition from decentralized media.
Some media figures have used recent layoffs at news companies to claim the industry is facing a crisis.
In the U.S., these efforts have coalesced around the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA), which would funnel money from Big Tech to the media industry, while excluding independent competitors.
Establishment media companies already receive billions of dollars in subsidies from tech companies and governments around the world, but industry lobbyists still claim the bill is needed to save the industry.
The bill has attracted the support of the censorship industry, which presents the establishment media as a bulwark against alleged mis- and dis-information.
In 2022, as the U.S. was ramping up its support for war in Ukraine and interfering with settlement efforts, there was a coordinated effort to keep you in the dark on this history of U.S. interference in Ukrainian politics, every bit of it true and well-documented. Now 450,000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers are dead. None of this carnage was necessary. More than $100B of U.S. tax $ spent, much of it to line the pockets of U.S. weapons manufacturers. Joe Biden and his Iraq-failure architects, neocon advisors Victoria Nuland and Antony Blinken, have this blood on their hands, as do the U.S. corporate media on the left and right. The following video is short (less than 5 minutes) and it should be required viewing most Americans.

Biden's simplistic story about the Ukraine war is "Bad Putin." Now compare that fairy tale with the sprawling nefarious corrupt involvement of Blackrock, as discussed by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Corporate greed is also working non-stop to keep Blackrock completely out of the corporate media headlines so you can continue to believe the story about "Bad Putin."
From "The Real Harvard Scandal," by Tyler Austin Harper, at The Atlantic:
The true scandal of the Claudine Gay affair is not a Harvard president and her plagiarism. The true scandal is that so many journalists and academics were willing, are still willing, to redefine plagiarism to suit their politics. Gay’s boosters have consistently resorted to Orwellian doublespeak—“duplicative language” and academic “sloppiness” and “technical attribution issues”—in a desperate effort to insist that lifting entire paragraphs of another scholar’s work, nearly word for word, without quotation or citation, isn’t plagiarism. Or that if it is plagiarism, it’s merely a technicality. Or that we all do it.

The following excerpt is from a recent interview featuring Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. His comments confirm my experience. Everyone I've talked to who "opposes" RFK, Jr. knows next to nothing about him, including on the topic of vaccines. They think he is against all vaccines, which is palpably untrue. He wants them to be subjected to the same safety tests as other pharmaceuticals. This position is made clear in many of his easily accessible interviews and in his 2023 book, Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak (2023). First, an excerpt from this interview:
Patrick Bet-David: What do you say to the people who like many of your policies, who liked the fact that you're pushing the establishment? But at the same time, aren't you just kind of helping President Biden become a president again and get reelected,
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr: I'm running against the two weakest candidates in American history. President Trump has a very, very intense following up, but it's relatively small and President Biden, there's almost nobody that I've met. In fact, I can say, I've never met anybody so far who says you should vote for President Biden, because he has a great vision for the country, that he's energetic, that he can grapple with the big problems on. They all say, "You got to vote for him, because otherwise Trump is going to start a dictatorship." My polls right now: I'm beating both candidates in all Americans under 45 years old. And Americans under 35 years old, I'm beating them both by 10 points. I'm up to now 24% average in the battleground states, which puts me within 10 points of winning the electio., I can win the election, theoretically, with 34%. And I'm already at 24% in key states like Michigan, and I have almost a full year. And this with spending very, very little money compared to them. I'm leading with independent voters 36 with independent voters, and President Trump is at 27, I think and President Biden is at 31. We're essentially in a three way tie with Hispanic voters, I'm leading everybody with mothers who have children at home. The only group that I don't, I don't do well in are baby boomers. And I believe that reason that I'm not doing well with them is that they get their news from television, MSNBC, from CNN, and the New York Times The Washington Post.
I have seven kids. And I would believe that none of them have ever watched an evening news on TV, they get their news from other sources. They get it from the internet, they get it from podcasts, etc. And in that generation, I am dominating. So what we're seeing anecdotally is that people who watch my interviews and long form interviews, even Liberal Democrats have a very, very high conversion rate. So my strategy over the next 11 months, is to get as many of those people to be able to see interviews with me, to ask me questions. And, you know, to get to know, something about me that's outside this kind of stew of defamations and pejoratives that define me in the in the mainstream media.
Now, here are a few excerpts from Kennedy's book, Vax-Unvax:
Since the enactment of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which provides a liability shield for vaccine manufacturers, the vaccination schedule has multiplied considerably. Today, children following the CDC-recommended vaccination schedule receive a minimum of seventy-three shots for seventeen different diseases, with a whopping twenty-eight injections by their first birthday. . .
Long-Term Vaccine Safety Studies Are Lacking
Despite this huge increase in vaccination, researchers have done very little to study the health of these children, either in the short term or the long term. While medical authorities credit universal childhood vaccination programs with eradicating several deadly infectious diseases, these same experts show little interest in studying the acute and long-term adverse effects of vaccination, nor do safety studies focus on the health effects of the collective vaccination schedule.
