I think we all knew this, but watching the Warren/Sanders RFK Jr. confirmation session assures me that there is no rationality or logic that takes place within our organization of government. People just shriek with ad homenin and red herrings and strawman arguments and never get around to the point. It is all theatre, show, propaganda, whatever word you prefer. The fact is that whenever they “test” a vaccine the “placebo” isn’t a syringe with saline, but the vaccine formula minus the antibody. So any preservatives (propylene glycol) or adjuvants (aluminum) will be in the placebo. They shriek about the 12 poor Samoan children who died of measles (which that story is fishy) and they deny the thousands that have died from Gardasil and MMR, not to mention the mRNA tech. Go check out the history of polio, “The Moth and the Iron Lung”, presents and interesting hypothesis on the co occurrence of heavy metals in pesticides at the turn of the 20th century with spinal degeneration.
My point is that all of the relevant facts aren’t allowed to be discussed. This is the nature of our totalitarian information environment, some things, like the possibility of vaccines causing harm, are verboten because there is a Trillion dollar industry on the other side making sure they don’t have to get informed consent or be liable for the products they manufacture (we know that the lots of the mRNA differed between manufacturers and from lot to lot).
I am full MAHA, I read Callie and Casey Means book, “Good Energy”, and I agree with their main thesis which is that it is mitochondrial dysfunction that is the center of the vast majority of our health issues in the modern world and mitochondrial dysfunction is downstream of sugar, lack of micronutrients, lack of good sleep, lack of exercise, heightened levels of cortisol (all of these are interconnected). I think there are certainly connections between heavy metal adjuvants in vaccines and autism and other developmental disabilities. There are problems with glyphosate being used as a desiccant that almost assuredly gives rise to allergies, auto immune conditions, among other consequences. Atrazine is a strong feminizing compound that certainly can be explicative of lower rates of testosterone in men.
HOWEVER, in my humble opinion, toxins should not be the main focus of MAHA. Toxins are a part of the issue, but not even close to the root of the problem. Even if we were to remove all “toxins” from food, I am not confident we would have returned our nation to health. I think the much more important part of the conversation is nutrition as such. Proper micronutrients, anti-inflammatory phytochemicals and antioxidants are key building blocks that help our bodies deal with toxins and stress, and while their down regulation is also good, the human body and culture is anti fragile when properly nourished. I am confident that instead of focusing on removing yellow 5 (a good and achievable goal), we will get far more health ROI by making our beef and dairy grassfed and our eggs, poultry and pork raised on pasture, than by removing toxins from Cheetos. Or even more precisely, it is probably more important that the corn is grown well and the cheese came from a pastured cow than if the Cheetos don’t have yellow 5 and red 40. My fear is that the public will equate health with a lack of toxins, when corn isn’t corn anymore and beef isn’t beef.
I see this in a recent “MAHA” focused podcast between Vani Hari and Jordan Peterson. Peterson does pick her apart a bit, but not in a useful way. I don’t think Ms. Hari understands the difference between nutrition and a lack of toxins. Her company Truvani proves this by having all “clean” ingredients bars with terrible nutrition profiles.
My point is, if Mr. Kennedy wants to see marked improvement in the lives of Americans, it will take more than vaccine liabilities and informed consent, more than removing atrazine and glyphosate (which if he achieves I will be grateful and flabbergasted), more than removing red 40 and yellow 5. Fundamentally it will take a restructuring of America, not too dissimilar from the vision of Wendell Berry in his “Unsettling of America”. Health starts from farmers caring for land, not from removing the preservatives from Cheetos.
Another thought on that thread: I haven’t chased down the research but on John Kempf’s “Regenerative Agriculture” podcast he makes the claim (and he is the authoritative source on these things, as it seems he had read ALL of the scientific literature on everything related to soil ecology and plant physiology) that soils high in microbiology (organic matter) decompose glyphosate much more rapidly than denuded soils.
Kempf is the most read man that I have encountered online. His main thesis is that everything is downstream of optimal nutrition. Plant resilience to disease and pests is measurably downstream of sap analysis of micronutrients. Ditto for livestock, this is the miracle of moving critters from confinement to pasture or an agroforestry environment, suddenly diseases melt away and vigor is noticeably different in affect and their meat and milk and eggs taste and look different. Ditto for humans. Humans that are environmentally and nutritionally optimized are more able to deal with the toxins and stressors that we are sure to meet.
Once again, agreed. John is amazing! And he is 100% correct. More, healthy soils are pivotal in breaking down industrial toxins in our water and air -- you know, the ones emitted in massive quantities by "renewables manufacturing" of solar panels, EVs, and wind turbines in pursuit of life-fiving carbon. The globalists want to enslave us all!! I'm fighting back, and more and more Americans are waking up to our growing toxification and peril!
Even corruption can see which way the wind is blowing. Most of my entire state is also illegitimate(WA State), and one actually sounded like she only got info on RFK, Jr from MSM. Still I wrote...
It's so tragic that people fail to see the urgency of rescuing our food supplies from processors and Big Ag. Bipartisan urgency, for ALL of our children's health!
Belle is kooky. The best cow dog we ever had, but the least sociable with humans -- though she is very sweet and has never bitten anyone or been ugly. She just would rather not be petted for more than a few minutes at most. Her daughter Bea is the opposite, and the cows love her. (All I have to do is call Belle's name and the cows start running for cover!)
The tide is turning, our uni party Senator has purportedly agreed to support Trump’s appointments, we’ll see. If he does vote for these appointments it is due to Maga and Maha.
Cool dog, John! He/she looks like a beauty!! One who garners much flak signifies that he is directly over target! For those younger people that don't understand this comment: When a bomber in WW2 was making a bomb run, the exploding metal ( flak) was shot up at the bombers to impede their bombing run! Thus, it was always heaviest right over the intended target! (I don't take anything today for granted, that people know what the older metaphors mean!)
I've done all the things, sir. Made the calls, shared the article. It is interesting to note that when I tried to share from your newsletter, Fakebook would NOT post. I had to copy the link, go into FB separately and post the link...you are being censored, sir. That's the side I wanna be on, the censored side!! Thanks for your pursuit of truth and sharing it as you find it.

Absolutely agree on every point!!

We are farmers in California. Calling our senators would do no good because our current senators are no good.
Even corruption can see which way the wind is blowing. Most of my entire state is also illegitimate(WA State), and one actually sounded like she only got info on RFK, Jr from MSM. Still I wrote...
Well we are only responsible for our side of the equation. You did your part. Thanks!

Belle looks just like my red tri Aussie, Levi, who passed in 2019. He was the best dog ever.

She wants to work cows more than eat! :)
I had two border collie mixes and while they were not working dogs, they had the personality!!
