RFK Jr. Pushing Big Pharma Ad Ban — And Corporate Media Panicking

“Enough is enough. RFK Jr.’s proposal to kick drug ads off TV isn’t radical—it’s responsible. And it’s long overdue.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary, is pushing a plan to ban pharmaceutical ads from television. He’s right to push for it—and not just because the U.S. is one of only two countries on earth that allows such advertising (the other being New Zealand).

America’s health system isn’t just flawed; it’s harming public health, distorting journalism, and fueling Big Pharma’s malignant influence over our daily lives.

Let’s start with the obvious: TV drug ads aren’t designed to inform—they’re designed to manipulate. The formula is always the same. Cue soft lighting and sappy piano music. A sad, listless person pops a pill and suddenly life is vibrant again. They’re running through fields, laughing with family, walking dogs across idyllic bridges.

Then, in a breathless voiceover, the side effects come tumbling out like a legal disclaimer roulette wheel—stroke, heart failure, suicidal thoughts. The goal? Make viewers want a drug before they even talk to their doctor. It’s emotional coercion dressed up as health education.

This completely inverts how medicine is supposed to work. Health care decisions should be made inside the exam room, not in a 60-second marketing spot. Patients should go to their doctors with symptoms, and those doctors—armed with clinical training and knowledge of the patient’s full health profile—should decide whether a drug is even necessary.

Many issues could be better addressed through lifestyle changes, diet, supplements, or preventative care. But instead, America has normalized a pill-for-everything culture, supercharged by the fact that doctors are often nudged by patients demanding whatever drug they saw advertised last night during a commercial break.

This isn’t just bad medicine—it’s dangerous. And it’s no accident.

Big Pharma isn’t spending billions on advertising because it cares about your health. It’s doing it because the return on investment is enormous. Studies estimate the ROI on direct-to-consumer (DTC) drug ads ranges from 100% to 500%, depending on the drug. In 2025 alone, pharmaceutical companies are projected to spend over $5 billion on national linear TV ads, according to iSpot.tv. That number balloons even higher when you include digital and streaming. Just a handful of blockbuster drugs—like Skyrizi, Jardiance, and Ozempic—are burning through tens of millions in TV ads every month.

This revenue isn’t just padding Big Pharma’s pockets—it’s quietly buying influence in the media. Nearly 31% of ad minutes on major nightly news broadcasts in 2024 came from pharmaceutical brands. That means a huge portion of media budgets depend on the very companies they should be holding accountable. And surprise, surprise: when Big Pharma misleads the public, many news outlets are either silent or hesitant to report critically. The financial conflict of interest is baked in.

We saw the worst-case version of this during the COVID-19 pandemic. The novel mRNA shots—rushed to market under emergency use—were sold to the public as miracle solutions. Government officials and media outlets claimed these vaccines would “stop infection,” “prevent death entirely,” and “end the pandemic.” Younger, healthy individuals were told they needed them for everyone’s safety, despite already low statistical risk. None of these claims held up. As the data evolved, we learned the vaccines offered some reduction in severe disease, but not sterilizing immunity. Yet the media rarely corrected course.

Why would they? Pharma ads were paying the bills. Meanwhile, federal workers were mandated—and many private sector employees coerced—into getting injections under false pretenses. Billions of dollars flowed to Big Pharma. The American public was misled.

This pattern of deception is not new. Pfizer alone has paid billions in legal penalties over the years for unethical marketing, off-label promotion, and other violations. The most infamous: a $2.3 billion settlement in 2009—the largest health care fraud settlement in U.S. history at the time. Yet companies like Pfizer, AbbVie, and Johnson & Johnson still enjoy a polished image on TV, thanks in part to relentless ad spending and regulatory leniency.

RFK Jr.’s plan, while legally uphill, is not without precedent. In 1970, President Nixon signed the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act, which banned tobacco ads from TV and radio. Cigarettes were legal, yet too dangerous to promote on air. The same principle should apply here. Just because a drug is FDA-approved doesn’t mean it should be marketed like soda. Approval doesn’t equal infallibility—just ask anyone who took Vioxx or OxyContin.

Critics, including the Wall Street Journal, have framed RFK’s proposal as a personal vendetta. That’s both lazy and misleading. In reality, there’s wide bipartisan and public support for reining in pharma ads. The American Medical Association called for a ban back in 2015. A STAT/Harvard poll found that 57% of Americans support banning TV drug ads. Even hosts on CNBC—hardly anti-business—agreed the ads are unnecessary. “Don’t you think doctors should prescribe it if you need it?” asked Joe Kernen. Exactly.

The pharmaceutical industry’s defenders like to invoke the First Amendment, claiming that banning ads would be unconstitutional. But commercial speech does not enjoy absolute protection. Under the Central Hudson test, the government can regulate ads if it has a substantial interest, the regulation directly advances that interest, and the restriction is narrowly tailored. Protecting public health from misleading pharmaceutical marketing clears all three hurdles. Even if a full ban doesn’t survive, tighter restrictions—like banning ads for certain drug classes, or requiring full price transparency—could pass muster.

More importantly, even the threat of a ban could pressure drugmakers to change course voluntarily. They did it before in 2008, when criticism led to updated self-regulatory guidelines. If Kennedy’s push forces them to rethink their practices, that alone is a win.

Pharma companies will no doubt fight this tooth and nail. But that’s not a reason to back down—it’s a reason to press harder. We’ve allowed an industry with an immense profit motive to shape our health decisions for too long. The result? A country drowning in prescriptions, mired in chronic disease, and confused about who to trust.

Yemeni Air Force strikes Ben Gurion Airport in Israel, engages US warships in Red Sea with rockets, UAVs

Al Mayadeen English

The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced a significant escalation in their military operations, thwarting enemy warships’ advances in the Red Sea.

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) have launched a series of military strikes targeting Israeli and US assets, including Ben Gurion Airport and enemy warships in the Red Sea, according to a statement by the Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree.

Saree announced that Yemeni forces successfully struck Ben Gurion Airport in occupied Yafa with a Zulfiqar ballistic missile, while a Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missile hit a military target in the southern part of the area. Both operations achieved their objectives, as per the YAF spokesperson. See https://x.com/i/status/1905240649986641994

In a significant escalation, Yemeni forces also carried out a joint military operation in the Red Sea, targeting US and allied naval forces, including the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier. The attack involved ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones.

YAF escalate military operations

Saree added that the Yemeni Armed Forces significantly escalated their military operations, thwarting enemy warships’ advances in the southern Red Sea and launching fresh missile strikes on “Israel”.

In a statement on Thursday, the Yemeni military confirmed that its defensive operations had successfully repelled naval incursions, vowing to continue expanding its military response in the coming days.

“The enemy will witness more of the might of Yemen’s unyielding people—strength, determination, resilience, and unwavering faith,” the statement read.

The YAF also reaffirmed their commitment to blocking Israeli navigation in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, emphasizing their ongoing support for Gaza until the blockade is lifted.

Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that two missiles were launched from Yemen toward “Israel”, triggering air raid sirens and explosions across central regions. The Israeli military confirmed that missile debris fell on a major highway connecting Tel Aviv to occupied al-Quds, causing widespread panic.

Following the attack, operations at Ben Gurion Airport were temporarily suspended as millions of settlers sought shelter, according to Israeli reports. The escalation follows Yemen’s drone strike on Israeli military targets in occupied Yafa on Wednesday, not to mention military operation targeting the United States Navy Carrier Strike Group 8, which lasted for hours, and a missile attack on Ben Gurion Airport earlier in the week.

It is worth noting that Yemen has vowed, despite the brutal US- UK aggression, to continue its military operations against Israeli targets and maintain its blockade on Israeli maritime activity until the ongoing war on Gaza ends.

US launches new aggression on Yemen with 15 airstrikes

Meanwhile, the US carried out a new aggression with 15 airstrikes on the southern and northeastern outskirts of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, on Wednesday evening, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported.

The airstrikes targeted the Jirban area in the Sanhan district, south of Sanaa, as well as the al-Khadam area and Jabal al-Jamima in the Bani Houshesh district to the east, in addition to the al-Dailami Air Base to the north, according to our correspondent.

He added that eight airstrikes targeted the Jirban area in Sanhan district, while five strikes hit the al-Khadam and Jamima Rajam areas in the Bani Hushaysh district.

Additionally, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that US warplanes bombed the vicinity of Sanaa International Airport.

Yemen’s Al-Masirah TV had earlier reported 17 raids by the United States “on the Saada governorate,” on top of two more on Amran.

The official news agency, SABA, said that “the American aggression targeted the Oncology Hospital building in Saada.”

Sanaa’s Health Ministry confirmed that two civilians were wounded in the latest hospital attack, which it described as “a full-fledged war crime.”

Trump’s Attacks on Yemen Will Cost US Taxpayers Billions​

https://www.mintpressnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/AP25079230665238_edited.jpg

By Robert Inlakesh

While U.S. President Donald Trump announces that Yemen’s Ansar Allah will be “completely annihilated,” he is racking up costs for the American taxpayer, using a strategy that failed under the Biden administration for more than a year. Instead of pressuring Israel to allow aid to reach Gaza, the White House has declared war.

In October 2023, the Ansar Allah-led Yemeni government in Sana’a decided to intervene directly in the conflict between Gaza and Israel, firing more than 100 missiles and drones at the port of Eilat, many of which were shot down by U.S. naval vessels. By November, Yemen declared it would impose a blockade on all Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea.

Ansar Allah made it clear it would continue to take action against Israel until a ceasefire was implemented in Gaza, justifying its intervention on humanitarian grounds, claiming an obligation under the Genocide Convention to act. The U.S., under the Biden administration, then decided to attack Yemen directly despite no immediate threat to American interests or vessels.

Then-Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced the launch of Operation Prosperity Guardian, a multinational naval mission that failed to achieve any of its objectives and was conducted primarily in the interest of Israel. The costs of the mission ran into the hundreds of billions, while U.S. taxpayers suffered at least billions in losses with no positive outcomes to show for it.

Through 2024 alone, Ansar Allah’s blockade in the Red Sea cost more than $200 billion. Although the U.S. and its British allies repeatedly launched airstrikes on positions across Yemen, they only succeeded in extending the blockade in the Red Sea to their own vessels instead of just Israel’s.

Trump began launching airstrikes across Yemen on March 15, which were deadlier to the country’s civilian population than comparable assaults during the Biden administration. Yet, there are no objective indicators that a favorable result has been achieved.

Similar hyperbole that seeks to exaggerate the results of airstrikes was used by Pentagon officials in January 2024, after the former U.S. president ordered a large-scale bombing campaign. “We feel very confident about where our ammunition struck,” remarked Lt. Gen. Douglas Sims, the Joint Staff’s director for operations at the time. Offering no proof of success, Trump is following in the footsteps of the Biden administration.

In the first wave of Trump’s attacks against Yemen, the U.S. used RGM-109 Tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles, estimated to cost between $1.4 million and $2 million per unit. In 2018, when Trump launched an attack on Syria with 66 Tomahawk cruise missiles, the estimated cost for munitions alone exceeded $92.4 million.

The munitions used by the U.S. Navy to shoot down Yemen’s missiles and drones cost between $1 million and $4.3 million each, provoking Department of Defense officials to voice their discontent. “That quickly becomes a problem because the most benefit, even if we do shoot down their incoming missiles and drones, is in their favor,” said Mick Mulroy, a former Defense Department official, in December 2023.

A former U.S. naval officer told MintPress News that the cost of Operation Prosperity Guardian was roughly $600 million per month. “This appears to be a much more intense and costly operation, so without all the specifics, it’s hard to predict how much this will cost,” the officer said. Operating an aircraft carrier alone is estimated to cost between $6 million and $8 million per day.

In early 2024, Politico reported worrying signs of an overburdened U.S. Navy struggling to deploy replacement ships to the West Asia region. In addition, Yemen’s air defense units continue to shoot down American drones. So far, Ansar Allah has downed 16 MQ-9 UAVs, each valued at $33 million, costing the U.S. a total of $528 million.

Despite the Biden administration deciding to attack Yemen on Israel’s behalf, now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio penned an op-ed last year complaining that the strategy was not aggressive enough. Under the Democratic administration, Ansar Allah was designated a “specially designated global terrorist” organization, a label that Trump replaced with the harsher “Foreign Terrorist Organization” designation upon taking office.

On Jan. 19, upon the implementation of a ceasefire in Gaza, Yemen ceased all offensive operations and ended its blockade in the Red Sea. However, just over two weeks ago, Israel violated the terms of the ceasefire and blocked all aid from entering the Gaza Strip, prompting Ansar Allah to issue a four-day deadline for allowing aid before restarting its blockade on Israeli shipping.

The immense cost to U.S. taxpayers of Trump’s assault on Yemen, which promises no results and primarily serves Israel’s interests, could easily reach the tens of billions at the current pace, especially considering the intensity of operations is much greater than under his predecessor. All of this could have been avoided had Washington pressured Tel Aviv to allow humanitarian goods to enter Gaza.

LinkedIn and Soul-Sucking Corporate Pollyannaism

LinkedIn and Soul-Sucking Corporate Pollyannaism

By Toby Roger

The Insidious Nature of Corporate Pollyannaism 

I’m completely fascinated by the unwritten discursive norms on LinkedIn. I call it Corporate Pollyannaism. It’s a language unto itself. Most everyone intuitively knows the rules (they are the rules of bourgeois society after all) but no one ever says them out loud lest they upset the Leviathan. But I shall proceed anyway because I find the social dynamics so interesting and yet under-theorized.

Here’s my first take at the “LinkedIn Rules of Discourse:”

Everyone is always winning. Just so much winning. To the extent that anyone acknowledges anything other than winning, it’s always in service of a larger heroic journey. The artful can sometimes touch upon politics lightly. But capital is never criticized and class struggle is never mentioned. Orange Man Bad and anti-vaxxers can be disparaged, that’s the only “othering” that’s acceptable (all in-groups need an out-group otherwise membership has no value). Beyond that, everyone appears to get along and the “best of all possible worlds” is presented as well within reach. In spite of being one of the world’s largest employment platforms, there is vanishingly little discussion of work per se on the site. No one ‘spills the tea’ on bad bosses or workplaces to avoid. It’s just always go go go from an idealized present into an imagined utopian future.

Look, on some level I get it. LinkedIn is a market — a dating market between employers and employees — so of course everyone wants to present themselves in the best possible light. Microsoft owns the site, and so it can do whatever it wants. Indeed as poorly tested biologics were forced on the population over the last four years, developed and promoted in part by Microsoft’s former CEO and Chairman, Microsoft/LinkedIn censored anyone who told the truth.

The discursive norms on LinkedIn are a convention, a social practice, a type of theater for the purposes of financial gain. The dialect is an artifice, a language of introductory commerce but not descriptive of reality (even though it pretends to describe reality). Corporate Pollyannaism is not a method for finding or communicating the truth; indeed it is unconcerned and often contemptuous of the truth. Actual commerce, for example an audited financial statement, involves a completely different dialect (indeed using the peppy, cheery, performative LinkedIn dialect in an SEC statement would get one fired or possibly jailed).

But are the people well-versed in LinkedIn-speak fully aware of its insidious nature? I can picture people new to the site adopting the discourse to try to put their best foot forward. At first they are still bilingual — they present one way on LinkedIn even though they speak a different vernacular in their day-to-day life. They remain cognizant of the fact that most workplaces are authoritarian, abusive, filled with petty infighting, and damaging to the soul even if they are not allowed to speak about that on LinkedIn. But maybe they get a promotion and are now seeking job candidates — they are on the management side of the transactional relationship representing the interests of capital or the state.

I wonder if over time they come to permanently see the world through the lens of this bougie discourse? Is LinkedIn a slippery slope that trains people into a mindset they probably would not have willingly chosen on their own? If so, is LinkedIn a machine that gradually strips us of our humanity?

My profound worry is two-fold (and I guess it’s why I felt compelled to write this):

  1. Repeating something over and over, as part of the LinkedIn discursive system, really does change one’s thoughts over time. So it’s not entirely innocent.
  2. What happens if corporations and the state merge (what we’ve historically called fascism but the faint of heart call corporatism) and put their profit interests ahead of the well-being of individuals, families, and society? At that point, we are participating in our own demise if we play by the rules (unwritten or otherwise) of the system.

Indeed that’s what happened over the last five years. Corporations and the state merged. They ran a sophisticated global operation to increase their power, wealth, and control. And the vast majority of the over one billion Bougie Winners on LinkedIn didn’t say a word because they were so thoroughly indoctrinated into a system of Corporate Pollyannaism that, to this day, they don’t even realize what happened or acknowledge how they may have participated in the assault on humanity by the fascist Pharma state.

RFK Jr Declares War on Chemtrails

RFK Jr declares war on chemtrails.

Sean Adl-Tabatabai

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) has declared war on chemtrails, vowing on Sunday that his agency will confront those behind geoengineering. He insists that justice must be served for practices threatening public health and the environment.

Reports worldwide describe airplanes releasing mysterious trails—dubbed “chemtrails”—that linger in the sky, slowly spreading into an unnatural, misty gray haze. These phenomena have sparked growing alarm over potential health risks and ecological damage, prompting RFK Jr.’s pledge to investigate and halt such activities across the country.

Modernity.news reports: Back in August, Kennedy made a similar commitment to stop airplanes from carrying out the “crime” of releasing chemicals—often referred to as “chemtrails”—into the sky.

In that tweet, he was replying to a post from X user Concerned Citizen (@BGatesIsaPyscho) reporting that a “Chemtrail Pilot Whistleblower”—who referred to these substance-emitting airplanes as “tanker terminators”—had admitted that he and his colleagues “are paid more than any other pilot.”

Kennedy replied to the post with seven words: “We are going to stop this crime.”

In his new X post published over the weekend, the HHS secretary was responding to a post from Sayer Ji (@sayerjigmi), a prominent figure in the natural health and wellness space, known for his work as an author, researcher, speaker, and advocate for alternative medicine.

Ji was celebrating the fact that dozens of states have put forward legislative efforts to stop geoengineering.

“The sky-shielding movement is soaring. With Michigan’s recent announcement (bill number pending), 25 U.S. states are officially moving to ban atmospheric geoengineering,” Ji wrote.

“This isn’t fringe. This isn’t future. This is now. We’re backed by a national and international coalition—including members of the Global Wellness Forum, representing tens of millions of concerned citizens in the U.S., and hundreds of millions globally who are rising in solidarity for clean air, clear skies, and sovereign health.”

“We are the breath of a planetary awakening,” he added. “The skies are clearing. The awareness is rising. The tipping point has tipped. This is bigger than weather. It’s about bodily sovereignty, environmental integrity, and the sacred bond between people and planet.”

RFK Jr. commented on Ji’s post, swearing HHS would “do its part” in the fight.

“24 States move to ban geoengineering our climate by dousing our citizens, our waterways and landscapes with toxins,” he writes. “This is a movement every MAHA needs to support. HHS will do its part.”

Ji followed up, praising Kennedy’s renewed pledge:

“Thank you for your courageous and prescient leadership on this advocacy Bobby! America and We the People love and respect you for this beyond words can express.”

What’s Really Happening in Our Skies?

Some experts in the chemtrail/contrail space believe airplanes are outfitted with special apparatuses that spray chemicals into the air behind the planes as they fly.

Others, however, believe the sun- and sky-blocking clouds we observe forming after airplanes leave trails in the atmosphere generally come from jet fuel exhaust itself, not an independent spray apparatus.

Proponents of this view say jet airplanes are always emitting these chemicals, and the reason we see the trails on some days and not others is because certain weather conditions—known as the “Schmidt-Appleman” criterion (see)—make them more visible and prone to become artificial clouds.

Both perspectives agree on one thing: something is happening in our skies that demands urgent investigation, accountability, and action.

With RFK Jr. now at the helm of HHS, promising to confront the toxic geoengineering assault head-on, the momentum behind this movement has never been stronger.

As more leaders step up and more states take action, the fight for clean air, clear skies, and bodily sovereignty is no longer a distant hope—it’s here, and it’s happening.

Russia and Ukraine Agree To Trump-Brokered Black Sea Deal and Energy and Infrastructure Ceasefire – But Moscow Alerts Some Sanctions Must Be Lifted First

AI-generated image: Trump, Putin, Zelensky in the hard road to peace.

By Paul Seran

We’ve always known that the Peace Process in the Russia-Ukraine war was going to be long and difficult, because not only is there a wide array of countries rooting against it – including many ‘allies’ – but also the whole edifice of the USAID-media is devoted to actively sabotaging it.

And of course, besides this hostile environment, there are also the objective difficulties to come to the peace, with each side having ‘red lines’ and unmovable demands that do not yet form a coherent whole – so the American mediators have to endlessly toil at both sides to achieve any progress.

Yesterday (25), after a very meaningful round of technical-level talks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the US was able to reach separate deals with Russia and Ukraine for a security deal in the Black Sea as well as a temporary cease-fire in the attacks against energy and infrastructure targets.

But to make that happen, the Trump team agreed to lift some sanctions against Moscow.

After the official announcement, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky came to public to say that the deal was to be implemented immediately, but of course, the Kremlin was to say otherwise.

The Russians demand the agreed conditions must be met before the new Black Sea maritime security deal can be activated – it bears mentioning that, unlike Ukraine, Moscow never broke the earlier agreement to stop energ

Ukrainians repeatedly broke the partial ceasefire on energy and infrastructure attacks, targeting Russian gas pipelines and substationsy and infrastructure attacks.

Reuters reported:

“While Russian exports of food and fertilizer are not subject to Western sanctions, Moscow has said restrictions on payments, logistics and insurance have amounted to a barrier to shipments.

Russia wants the reconnection of its state agricultural bank Rosselkhozbank to the SWIFT international payments system. That and other steps could require agreement from European countries.

‘As for the Black Sea grain initiative, it can be activated after a number of conditions are implemented’, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. ‘These are the same conditions that were included in the (original) Black Sea Initiative…all the conditions of which were fulfilled except for those concerning the Russian side. So, of course, this time round justice must prevail and we will continue our work with the Americans’.”

“Moscow in 2023 withdrew from the original deal, brokered by the United Nations and Turkey in 2022, complaining that obstacles to its own food and fertilizer exports had not been eased as promised under the terms of that agreement.”

Trump’s fulfillment of his vow to end the horrific war in Ukraine advances even further, as Russia and Ukraine agree to cease all fighting in the Black Sea and finalize their deal to not attack energy infrastructure.

Bayer Asks Congress for Liability Protection for Roundup Lawsuit

by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News

Bayer has been ordered to pay $2.1  billion in damages by a jury in the U.S. state of Georgia, because their product, which they inherited from Monsanto, the RoundUp herbicide with glyphosate, was determined to cause cancer in the plaintiff.

Bayer has already paid out $10 billion in other lawsuits where it was determined that glyphosate in RoundUp caused cancer, and there are still 60,000 cases pending.

Bayer hit with $2 billion Roundup verdict in US state of Georgia cancer case

BERLIN, March 22 (Reuters) – Bayer was ordered by a jury in the U.S. state of Georgia to pay about $2.1 billion to a plaintiff who claimed the company’s Roundup weed killer caused his cancer, the plaintiff’s law firms said late on Friday.

The verdict, which Bayer said on Saturday it would appeal, is one of the largest legal settlements issued in a Roundup-related case and is the latest setback for the group, among the world’s largest seeds and pesticides makers.

Bayer has paid about $10 billion to settle disputed claims that Roundup, based on the herbicide glyphosate, causes cancer. Over 60,000 further cases are pending for which the group has set aside $5.9 billion in legal provisions.

The German pharmaceutical and biotechnology group acquired Roundup as part of its $63 billion takeover of U.S. agrochemical company Monsanto in 2018.

The Georgia verdict includes $65 million in compensatory damages and $2 billion in punitive damages, according to a statement emailed to Reuters by the plaintiff’s law firms Arnold & Itkin LLP and Kline & Specter PC. (Source.)

Bayer has reportedly told members of Congress that they might stop selling RoundUp if they don’t give them legal immunity from these lawsuits, just like Big Pharma has done with vaccine injuries and deaths, due to the same threat that vaccine producers made to Congress in the 1980s, when they passed a bill and had Ronald Reagan sign it into law, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, which still stands today and gives Big Pharma legal immunity for any injuries or deaths that their vaccines cause.

Without this legal protection, they threatened to stop producing vaccines back in the 1980s, because they could not survive in the market without it, as so many lawsuits were pending against them for vaccine injuries and deaths.

Bayer is now apparently making the same threat, because with all of these lawsuits, they cannot survive in the market.

Bayer tells US it could halt Roundup weedkiller sales over legal risks

FRANKFURT, March 7 (Reuters) – Bayer  has told U.S. lawmakers it could stop selling Roundup weedkiller unless they can strengthen legal protection against product liability litigation, according to a financial analyst and a person close to the matter.

Bayer has paid about $10 billion to settle disputed claims that Roundup, based on the herbicide glyphosate, causes cancer. About 67,000 further cases are pending for which the group has set aside $5.9 billion in legal provisions.

The German company has said plaintiffs should not be able to take Bayer to court by invoking U.S. state rules given the federal U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has repeatedly labelled the product as safe to use, as have regulators in other parts of the world.

“Without regulatory clarity (Bayer) will need to exit the business. Bayer have been clear with legislators and farmer groups on this,”

analysts at brokerage Jefferies said in a note on Thursday, citing guidance Bayer’s leadership provided in a meeting.

Bayer, which acquired Roundup under the $63 billion takeover of Monsanto in 2018, said: “We are exploring every possibility to end this litigation.” It declined to comment further.

Disclosing glyphosate sales numbers for the first time, Bayer on Wednesday said the product, one of the most widely used weedkillers in U.S. field farming, generated 2.6 billion euros ($2.8 billion) in revenue last year.

“Bayer could reach a point in the future where the company is forced to discontinue the sale of the product in the United States,”

a person familiar with the matter told Reuters, requesting anonmyity because of the sensitivity of the matter. (Source.)

If the herbicide glyphosate in RoundUp would no longer be available to Big Ag in the U.S., the U.S. would most certainly face starvation, as most of the corn and soybean crops in the U.S. are GMO, and dependent upon RoundUp to grow.

These two crops are also the main ingredients in ALL commercial animal feeds in the U.S.

It would literally take years to transition away from the U.S.’s dependence on GMO crops, and the use of the herbicide glyphosate.

Do you think the U.S. Congress will oblige, as they did in the 1980s when they gave Big Pharma legal immunity for deaths and injuries caused by vaccines?

Under Trump 2.0, they may not even have to, as Trump could just declare a “national emergency” and suspend all future lawsuits against Bayer, similar to what he did under his first term when he enacted the Prep ACT, which gave legal immunity for Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson for releasing experimental COVID-19 vaccines to the public, and any deaths or injuries that might occur.

In the meantime, support local small-scale producers in your community who are committed to producing food without the use of these dangerous pesticides and herbicides. More small farmers at the community level would get involved in producing food this way, if there is demand for it. But it costs more, as they do not receive subsidies from the U.S. Government to keep prices artificially low.

Covid 19 mRNA Jabs – The Genes Encoding for the White Fibrous Clots

An Unholy Triad – The Birth of a Plague Episode 5

Pure Media Australia (2025)

Film Review

This episode looks at the gene insertions contributing to the fibrous clots caused by mRNA Covid vaccines:

  • ORF19 (believed to be Soviet in origin) – transplanted from candida (fungus) and E coli, twists fibrinogen into amyloid-like clots. Initiates a clotting cascade, binds to fibrinogen and misfolds it.
  • ORF29 – (originates from Wuhan Institute of Virology) incorporates tin into the clots to make them indestructible.
  • ORF8 – makes clot formations invisible to T-cells (killer immune cells).
  • ORF3A – amplifies inflammation to stimulate clot production.
  • ORF11 – (from US recombination research) blocks cellular clean up of debris. Mimics Varicella Zoster RNA binding.
  • ORF6 – block interferon, which stimulates immune response to viruses.
  • ORFl6 – ORF7 enables spike protein to persist longer than 150 days in recipients.  Each subsequent booster amplifies the response.
  • 4 insertions from HIV virus.

Research shows the ORF’s remain in the body long after Covid infection gone.

Current research indicates a Covid shot plus one booster reduces immune function by 30% over a decade. After five shots immune function drops to 0% over 7 years.

Dear DOGE: Here’s How to Cut the Pentagon Budget by $100 Billion in Six Easy Steps

America’s military budget is more than just numbers on a page—it’s a reflection of the priorities that shape our society. Right now, that nearly trillion dollar budget is bloated, inefficient, and far removed from the needs of everyday Americans. We’ve identified six simple yet effective ways to cut at least $100 billion from the Pentagon’s budget—without sacrificing even the most hawkish of war hawk’s sense of national security. Ready to take the scissors to that excess spending? Here’s how we can do it.

1. Halt the F-35 Program (Save $12B+ per year)

The F-35 is the poster child for military mismanagement. It’s a fighter jet that was supposed to revolutionize our military—except it’s plagued by cost overruns, delays, and underperformance. Despite a projected lifetime cost of over $2 trillion, this aircraft only meets mission requirements about 30% of the time. If we ended or paused the F-35 program now, we’d free up $12 billion annually. The military-industrial complex can afford a few less fancy jets that destroy land and lives, especially when they don’t even do their job right.

2. Reassess Long-Range Missile Defense (Save $9.3B+ per year)

For over half a century, we’ve sunk an eye-watering $400 billion into long-range missile defense systems that have never delivered. The cold, hard truth is these systems are ineffective against real-world threats. In fact, no missile defense technology has ever proven capable of neutralizing an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) attack. Cutting back on these programs would save us $9.3 billion per year—money that could be better spent on diplomacy initiatives that actually work.

3. Cut the Sentinel ICBM Program (Save $3.7B+ per year)

ICBMs were once the crown jewels of our nuclear deterrence strategy, but they’re outdated in today’s geopolitical climate. With more reliable and flexible platforms like submarines, bombers, and emerging hypersonic technologies, maintaining an expensive, high-risk ICBM arsenal makes little sense. Ending the Sentinel ICBM program would save taxpayers $3.7 billion annually, and even more in the long run, with total savings over its lifespan estimated at $310 billion. It’s time to face facts: we don’t need to keep pouring money into a strategy that no longer aligns with modern defense needs. Especially when the best nuclear deterrence system is ending nuclear weapons programs to begin with.

4. Cease Procurement of Aircraft Carriers (Save $2.3B+ per year)

Aircraft carriers are relics of a bygone era, costing billions to build and maintain, while becoming increasingly vulnerable to modern missile technology. These floating cities are no longer the symbols of naval power they once were. By halting new aircraft carrier procurements, we can save $2.3 billion a year—money that could be better allocated to ways that actually keep us safe in the 21st century like housing, healthcare or climate justice.

5. Cut Redundant Contracts by 15% (Save $26B per year)

The Pentagon’s bureaucracy is a cash cow for contractors—more than 500,000 private sector workers are paid to do redundant and often wasteful work. Many contracts overlap or go toward projects that are, frankly, unnecessary. Cutting back just 15% on these contracts would save $26 billion annually. That’s a massive chunk of change that could be reallocated to more efficient and effective defense projects. Want a starting point? Look no further than SpaceX’s lucrative contracts—it’s time we hold these companies accountable.Maybe DOGE knows a guy there?

6. Prioritize Diplomacy (Save $50B+ per year)

The best way to avoid unnecessary military spending is to prevent conflicts from happening in the first place. By focusing on diplomatic solutions instead of military interventions, we can scale back expensive overseas bases, reduce troop deployments, and use reserves and National Guard units more effectively. This shift could save up to $50 billion a year—and possibly as much as $100 billion in the long term. It’s about time we put our resources into creating peaceful solutions rather than preparing for endless wars.

What Could We Do with the $100 Billion in Savings?

The possibilities are endless when we take a more practical approach to national security spending. What could we do with the $100 billion we save? Here’s a snapshot of just some of the incredible investments we could make in American society:

  • 787,255 Registered Nurses: Filling critical healthcare gaps nationwide.

  • 10.39 million Public Housing Units: Making affordable housing a reality for families across the country.

  • 2.29 million Jobs at $15/hour: Providing good jobs with benefits, boosting the economy.

  • 1.03 million Elementary School Teachers: Giving our children the education they deserve.

  • 579,999 Clean Energy Jobs: Building a sustainable, green future for the next generation.

  • 7.81 million Head Start Slots: Giving young children a foundation for lifelong success.

  • 5.88 million Military Veterans receiving VA medical care: Ensuring those who served our country receive the care they earned.

The Bottom Line?

Cutting $100 billion from the Pentagon budget isn’t just a pipe dream—it’s a tangible, achievable plan that could deliver real benefits to everyday Americans. While it’s just a starting point, this reduction would allow us to prioritize what truly matters: healthcare, education, infrastructure, and the well-being of our people. If we’re going to spend taxpayer dollars, let’s make sure they go toward initiatives that directly benefit the lives of the citizens who fund them.

Japan Declares State of Emergency as Deaths Skyrocket Among mRNA Vaccinated Children

By Reece Walker

Japan’s top scientific minds have issued an emergency warning to the world as deaths skyrocket to alarming levels among children who received mRNA vaccines.

Yet, these aren’t fringe voices; they’re world-leading experts, armed with damning evidence, pointing a finger at Bill Gates.

They warn that mRNA vaccines tied to his empire aren’t just medicine—they’re a Trojan horse.

Hidden within their microscopic code, they say, are ingredients so sinister they could only serve one purpose: depopulation on a scale the world has never seen.

They warn that overwhelming evidence suggests Gates isn’t finished yet—he plans to inflict even more harm in the near future.

It’s time for the world to unite and bring him to justice.

For years now the globalist elite have been telling us about their plans to depopulate the Earth from 8 billion people to just 500 million, but most people prefer to cover their ears and pretend nothing is wrong.

Unfortunately for the sheeple, the days of being able to put their heads in the sand and pretend everything is OK are officially over.

Like many nations around the world, the Japanese population is in freefall and the Japanese are determined to expose the truth about the depopulation agenda unleashed on humanity by the global elite.

An aging population is only a part of the problem in Japan.

Young people are dropping like flies as well. And tragically, the ages keep getting younger and younger.

The sudden death surge in Japanese children coincides exactly with the immediate aftermath of the Covid mRNA vaccine rollout in December 2020 and the numbers are continuing to skyrocket year on year.

Kazuhiro Haraguchi, the Minister of Internal Affairs, has formally apologized to the Japanese nation, declaring “You were right, vaccines are killing millions of our loved ones.”

If you think this seems astonishing, you’re absolutely right.

Remarkable things can unfold in countries free from Big Pharma’s chokehold—a grip that extends from Congress to mainstream media to medical institutions, dictating the narrative at every turn.

Japan understands that apologies are not enough and the government and universities have ordered thousands of scientific researchers to investigate the vaccines from every possible angle.

The Covid mRNA task force is determined to fully understand the “crimes against humanity” perpetrated during the Covid pandemic specifically related to the rollout of experimental mRNA vaccines.

Now, a leading Japanese heart surgeon has written an alarming paper urging a reevaluation of public mRNA vaccine distribution around the world, stating the jabs are causing vaccine-acquired autoimmune deficiencies, also known as VAIDS, and causing a surge in child deaths.

Reevaluation of vaccination programs, including live-attenuated vaccines, is crucial,” argued Dr. Kenji Yamamoto

“Moreover, there has been a rise in cases of shingles, monkeypox, syphilis, severe streptococcal infections, measles, sepsis, and post-operative infections in countries administering multiple vaccine doses,” wrote the Okamura Memorial Hospital Cardiovascular surgeon, before he added the kicker:

“Ironically, mRNA vaccines, initially introduced as a solution for infection control, have instead triggered an increase in infections.”

The study also warns the aggressive vaccine schedule is depopulating the globe.

“In Japan, excess deaths since the onset of vaccination have exceeded 600,000, though the exact cause remains contentious.

“The cause of excess deaths cannot be explained solely by corona-related deaths or an aging population, and the increase in vaccine-related deaths may be a significant factor.

“Similar trends are observed in other countries with intensive vaccination programs.”the world.
