The Secret Campaign To Stop RFK Jr.
A few days ago, Robert Malone contacted me about a leaked memo from BIO published by the Brownstone Institute which he’d shared on his Substack which detailed an orchestrated industry conspiracy to sabotage RFK Jr. and stop making America healthy.
After reviewing the article, my suspicion was that it was authentic as I knew an orchestrated campaign against RFK Jr. existed and much of it matched what we had already proven these groups (e.g., BIO do). I then asked the people closest to the story (who I trust) who shared that they had confidence in the source who leaked it, and noted that when confronted by a larger outlet, BIO did not explicitly deny it, also suggesting the document was real (e.g., their spokesman declined to confirm or deny the veracity of the quote about lobbying for Kennedy’s ouster). As such, I will proceed on the assumption it was real.
RFK’s Nomination
Throughout this publication, RFK Jr. has been one of the few political figures I have publicly supported. This is because:
• RFK has continually advocated for many of the things most important to me.
• I long thought it would be impossible to ever have anyone in a senior level of government advocating for them—but due to an extraordinary confluence of events RFK was put into a position to.
• When I spent time with RFK, my two non-verbal takeaways were that he has gone through a lot of very difficult and traumatic events throughout his life, and that he has a deep conviction in the positions he is advocating for. There are a variety of ways people can respond to those types of unpleasant experiences, and it appeared to me that RFK adopted one of the less common responses—developing a deep conviction to make the world be a better place regardless of the obstacles put in front of you.
• A few of my close friends who know RFK Jr. feel the same way.
• Since he has gotten into the H.H.S., he has been very systematic and strategic in fixing the issues we are facing, in many cases doing exactly what I would do.
In short, like many, I long entertained entering politics so I could fix the horrendous issues around us, but ultimately was not willing to because becoming a politician is a miserable experience which puts your entire life under scrutiny, leads to a never ending slew of attacks to force you to adopt positions that support vested interests, and requires you continually make unpalatable compromises to advance the greater good.
RFK Jr. hence is a blessing to me, as he’s doing everything I would do if I’d made the necessary sacrifices (and had the luck) to get into a position of influence, but instead he’s taking the heat for that role, and as such, I feel compelled to do all I can to support him during this once in a lifetime opportunity (which is essentially why I overextend myself to produce this newsletter).
Making the Impossible Possible
One of the things I feel most people do not grasp is how much influence the H.H.S. Secretary has over health in the country (as many of the Federal Laws and Policies are written so that they are implemented at the Secretary’s discretion—which until now has protected the status quo as no H.H.S Secretary tried to make the country healthy).
Likewise, I feel many still do not understand just how improbable it was RFK got both nominated and confirmed, or that Trump has essentially given RFK the leeway to do whatever he wants to do (provided it’s done in a sensible and persuasive manner)—something to the best of my knowledge no other Federal leader in US history has been able to do.
Note: the closest parallel, Harvey Willey, the first head of the FDA a century ago had massive public support, and both Congress and the court’s support, but nonetheless lobbyists managed to convince the executive branch to tie Wiley’s hands eventually leading to his resignation as he realized he could do more to help America’s health from outside of the government.
Presently, I believe RFK’s unprecedented situation was due to:
•Trump having longstanding concerns about the excessive vaccine schedule due to children he knew being injured by them. Beyond having publicly spoken about this prior to his 2016 run, during the 2016 presidential debates he refused to back down on his position and at the start of his first term, he’d planned to have RFK lead a federal investigation of the vaccine schedule (which was ultimately nixed by his administration and outside parties like Bill Gates).
• Both Scott Atlas M.D. and Joe Navarro’s memoir of the pandemic tell a similar story. During COVID, Trump had had serious doubts about what the media and experts were saying about COVID (which against widespread protest he enacted the early travel ban), did not support the lockdowns or endless testing, and repeatedly tried to get non-standard therapies (e.g., hydroxychloroquine and disinfecting UV light treatments) into consideration. Unfortunately, everyone in the H.H.S. along with the media, continually sabotaged this and as a result, his advisors told him he could not rock the boat by creating public outrage over being a mass murder (e.g., by not perpetually locking down the country)—something we also encountered when communicating with the White House over off-patent ways to treat and end the pandemic (they told us the data was compelling but they could not afford to be eviscerated by the media by supporting them).
• Both Navarro and Atlas attested that Trump felt immensely conflicted over ignoring his gut hunch to listen to the “experts,” and it is my belief that Trump knows if had instead focused on rational COVID policies, he would have won the 2020 election (as the pandemic would have been over by November).
Note: when Atlas left the White House, he told Trump and his advisors ““Well, Mr. President, I will say this. You have balls. I have balls. But the closest people around you—they didn’t. They had no balls. They let you down.” (followed by Atlas remarking They let down the rest of the country, too).
•The alternative proposed to Trump (and supported by the medical establishment and an otherwise hostile media) was to push for a vaccine in Warp Speed so that it could be ready before the election. Trump thus used a pre-existing (Gates funded) framework for this and did everything he could to expedite it (e.g., he funded the development and manufacturing of a variety of potential vaccine candidates prior to them being ready so that the production time could be decreased). On one hand, this was a “monumental accomplishment” as it allowed a vaccine to get to market much faster than anyone thought was possible, but on the other hand (if you knew about all the issues with vaccines) a terrible idea likely to release a disastrous product.
• Most importantly however, after months of meetings, promises, and eager expectations by the White House, at the last minute, Pfizer pulled the rug out on Trump and delayed the vaccine’s approval until right after the election, presumably because it was in their interest to have a more pro-pharmaceutical contingent assume the Presidency (which the House Judiciary recently confirmed). On one hand, I feel this was “fair” because if you make a devil you can’t expect to not get burned, but more importantly, that greed from Pfizer was incredibly shortsighted because it destroyed any trust or leverage they had to rein Trump in were he to get re-elected.
• The media messaging used to push the COVID vaccines was very similar to the sensationalistic partisan messaging used to discredit Trump’s first presidency. Because of this, when it was deployed against Trump’s supporters to make them vaccinate, owing to their existing distrust of the media developed over the last four years, they were not receptive to it, and chose not to vaccinate. As such, when the media and government doubled down on pushing the vaccines, it made many who were previously neutral about vaccines become highly distrustful of them—particularly since they were frequently observing severe injuries every authority claimed “did not exist” and seeing the COVID vaccine fail.
•In short, because of how greedy the pharmaceutical industry was with the COVID vaccines (and how good a job the galvanized independent media did of exposing these underhanded tactics) they effectively “killed the goose that laid the Golden Eggs” and created the most public distrust in vaccines that has been seen since the early days of the smallpox vaccine.
Note: Pfizer’s decision to relentlessly push the COVID vaccines to increase their profits (at the expense of the traditional vaccine industry) seemed incredibly short-sighted to me, as had this been done less aggressively, the trust that industry rests upon could have been maintained. One of the best explanations I’ve ever heard for why this happened came from a pharmaceutical executive who shared with me that pharmaceutical executives are frequently rotated out of their companies and paid lavish bonuses which are dependent upon sales during their tenure, so as a result, they have no incentive to avoid short term profits at the expense of the sector.
• All of that (and prior skepticism from the Tea Party due to Obama’s vaccine overreach) main vaccine skepticism part of the modern Republican party and birthed the Make America Healthy Again movement. In turn, RFK was able to ride that wind to become one of the most successful independent candidates in US history (reaching 22% of the vote), before utilizing that capitol to support President Trump (and likely swing the race) in return from him agreeing to advance Making America Healthy Again (as there was no interest within the Democrat party to do the same).
• Trump decided to keep his promise (either out of obligation or because he want to make America healthy) and due to his unique political position, had the ability to force others to comply with it.
It’s really hard to describe how improbable all of this happened, and had I not seen it unfold in front of me, I would have never thought there was even a 1% chance of someone like RFK becoming the HHS Secretary.
Note: RFK recently had an excellent interview with Tucker Carlson which spelled out exactly what he is doing, how grave and indefensible many of the issues we face are, and the difficulties he’s run into from the establishment from trying to make things right.
Public Relations
One of the most frustrating things for me throughout my lifetime has watched cause after cause (or politician) I strongly agreed with be nullified by the media working in concert to sabotage it. It hence was eye-opening for me when I learned about the Public Relations Industry (discussed further here), an invisible multibillion industry which synthesizes marketing and propaganda to persuade the public of its sponsor’s message.
On one side, PR is immensely depressing, as it so effect it essentially “invalidates” democracy as whatever message its sponsor’s pay for is what becomes policy rather than what the public wants—and in most cases the public can’t even see it be done. On the other, understanding the industry is also incredibly informative for predicting future events, as there are a limited number of tactics the PR industry uses (presumably because people who work in those firms are not that creative and because the industry has had such a monopoly on truth it has not been forced to innovate). As a result, once you see the early stages of a PR campaign in motion, you normally know what will follow because it is very predictive and repetitive.
Note: those tactics include blasting the same message on every outlet, using focus groups to create the most emotionally manipulative messaging possible (which is why newscasters and politicians will all often say rather odd sculpted phrases), having “independent” experts or “trustable third parties” promote the intended message and creating fabricated viral moments (which the entire media then amplifies) to promote their message.
In many cases, PR is also blended with political lobbying so lobbyists will not only push legislators to kill a bill which threaten their industry but also incite a public hysteria against it to intimidate legislators into stopping it. For example, methamphetamine production has been immensely damaging for many parts of America (e.g., roughly 4% of Americans have an amphetamine use disorder, overdoses now kill over 30,000 Americans a year, parental methamphetamine has become a leading reason children are put into foster care and in numerous states cleaning up toxic meth labs have overwhelmed law enforcement). Much of this arose from it becoming possible to easily synthesize meth at home from pseudoephedrine (one of many cough medicines), so legislators in hard hit states sought to stop this by placing limits on how much pseudoephedrine could be purchased over the counter—after which lobbyists and PR firms descended like hornets to stop those laws from passing (in most cases succeeding).
Public Relations and Social Media
The PR apparatus is much more suited to engaging with the legacy media than social media (as there are a limited number of networks which have monopolized the airwaves so it is easy enough to pay them all off to promote your message whereas online there are an almost infinite number of voices). Because of this, the existing control apparatus has greatly struggled (e.g., within hours Twitter can often completely debunk a carefully orchestrated and costly PR campaign and there are far to many content producers to buy them all off) and a lot of marginal attempts have been made to try to shift that tide.
As such, during the COVID vaccine public relations campaign, one of the primary pushes by the industry was to enact draconian censorship from both online media companies (e.g., Facebook) and the government. As this was not enough, many attempts were made to directly silence those who still spoke out (e.g., getting them banned online, getting them fired, taking about their board certifications or licenses and leaving grisly threats on their doorsteps).
Eventually, we figured out much of this was being coordinated by “Shot’s Fired” a private Facebook group (which had many prominent vaccine zealots including Richard Pan—the California State Senator who ushered in the era of immensely unpopular vaccine mandates after the 2019 Measles “outbreak” [where no one died]). That group in turn would pick a “target,” descend on them like bees, and then once the target had been neutralized, proceed onto the next target.
After some work (e.g., a few of us infiltrated the group while a few others untangled their web of concealed funding), we discovered out they were being funded be the Public Good Project, which in turn was being funded by the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO). For context, BIO is “the largest trade organization to serve and represent the emerging biotechnology industry in the United States and around the globe,” with many pharmaceutical clients (e.g., you can find Moderna, J&J and remdesivir’s manufacturer Gilead listed as core companies in their membership directory), and interlocking relationships with the leadership of many of these companies (e.g., BIO shares a VP with Pfizer). In turn, as you might expect, these groups also had extensive interactions with the Biden administration and the social media companies, all of which was done to further
Note: when I watched the promotional videos Shots Fired made to attract funding, they essentially said they would “save the world” by getting the funding for a lot of trolling (harassment) and astroturfing—relatively unsophisticated tactics that again illustrate the PR apparatus is not capable of effectively engaging the internet.
Let’s now look at BIO’s partial denial of the leak:
The purported memo was not produced by BIO. We have never seen or heard of this document, and it certainly does not accurately represent the spirit, strategy, or mission of BIO’s work.
Given BIO’s documented conduct, I would say the document very much reflects “the spirit, strategy, and mission of BIO’s work.”
Note: strong accusations require significant proof. Everything I mentioned in this section is extensively documented in this article.
