1. A closer analysis of Trump’s “miracle plan” to slash medical drug prices

(This is Part-2; For Part-1, go here)

My recent article on this subject… jumped to the bottom line: the drugs will continue to maim and kill millions of people because they're poisons.

But since so many MAHA/MAGA people, including Kennedy, are gushing like kids on Christmas morning over Trump's Order to cut drug prices by 30 to 80 percent, I thought I'd home in on a few inconvenient realities.

First, I see no way Trump can unilaterally order any company to lower the price of its product.

That's why he did more than issue an Executive Order. He's included the price drop in his Big Beautiful Budget bill, which will go before Congress.

But how can Congress force companies to change their prices?

Congress CAN reduce federal spending for medical drugs, for government programs like Medicare and Medicaid. That would create a standoff:

Pharma companies could say, "Well, if you want Medicare and Medicaid to spend less, we'll have to sell fewer drugs to them. See how patients like that situation, when the drugs their doctors prescribe aren't available. When the patients would have to pay for them out of pocket, and can't afford to."

At that point, Trump would have to go on the warpath, and mount one of his sizzling PR campaigns—talk directly to the American people, tell them how horrible these drug companies are and try to shame them into lowering their prices across the board. I'll comment on this "art of the deal" approach in a minute.

There's another kind of problem. Trump is floating the notion that drug companies are selling their products to Europe for low prices, and is making up that shortfall by gouging America and charging sky-high prices here. And Trump says this is a con and a hustle and unconscionable, and he's going to stop it. From now on, drug companies will lower their prices in America, and charge more than they are now in Europe. That'll fix the situation. Actually, drug companies will be happy, because their overall profits will remain the same.

Will Trump's scheme really work out?

Is Trump right about what these drug companies are doing in Europe vs. what they're doing in America?

I don't think so. Here's why:

2. You can wreck yourself more easily now because medical drugs will cost way less?

(This is Part-1; For Part-2, go here)

Trump just announced he's cutting prices of Pharma drugs by 30 to 80%.

Not sure he can really do that, but if he can, more people will be injured and killed by them?

For all those people covered by medical insurance, which is paying for those drugs anyway, does that change anything? Medicare and Medicaid will still function as they have, for people covered by those programs.

The way it looks to me, nothing changes for the user. He still gets the same drugs that are toxic.

Maybe he pays less for medical insurance. Maybe.

If he doesn't have insurance and has to pay for drugs out of pocket, then yeah, he can maim and destroy himself more easily.

The real issue has been and still is: so many people on so many poisonous drugs.

The first drug causes "symptoms" which are diagnosed as a medical condition requiring a second drug, which in turn…

You know the story.

Biz as usual.

Actual HEALTH is not involved.

MAHA? Stop the poisoning. Trump isn't talking about that. He isn't issuing an Executive Order that starts with: "America is being poisoned by Pharma…"

He's oblivious on that score. After all, he still thinks his Warp Speed COVID RNA launch saved millions of lives.

I'm trying to follow the bouncing ball here:

3. New Podcast: I investigate and expose media in a way that has never been done; this is a first

Don't miss this one.

For 35 years, I've been going after mainstream media. I've attacked the media from many angles.

But when I walked into this revelation, it was completely unexpected. Taking one step after another, I entered completely new territory.

Territory that not only affects the present moment, but the very near future.

I thought I was exposing a typical media-Pharma connection, but I had no idea how deep things went.

I have a story to tell with many twists. This isn't just one crime or a few crimes. It's a staggering new reality that's taking over the news, and the even bigger world of information itself.

I have the details; I have the receipts.

Listen now

Your continuing subscriber support makes this investigation (and all my other investigations) possible. I thank you for that.

Now listen to the podcast, buckle up, and prepare to have your mind blown, just as mine was.

5. What’s all this noise about Trump nominating Dr. Casey Means for US Surgeon General?

(This is Part-2; for Part-1, go here)

People on one side say, "Where did she come from? Dr. Means never said one critical word against the horrendous COVID vaccines during the COVID years."

People on the other side say, "She's a wonderful doctor who stands for real health, and she never would have won Trump's nomination if she'd been an active critic of the COVID shots. The Senate would never confirm her. But now she can win confirmation and then do great work…"

I'm going to cut through all this conversation with something deeper.

Let's start with this:

"You cannot win political appointment if you tell the truth about vaccines; therefore…"

You know the rest: therefore, keep your mouth shut, land a spot in government and work to make America Healthy Again.

Lots of people believe this is the way to go.

I don't.

Not just because I have a decided preference for the truth, but also because I believe that if all the famous and semi-famous persons who keep their mouths shut about vaccines—people who know the truth about destruction by vaccines—if all those people had been out there, in public, with big bully pulpits, for years, telling the whole truth about vaccines, they would be doing far more effective and decisive work than they could in government positions.

If they'd been true revolutionaries, no matter what, this country would be in much better shape than it is now. And would still be in better shape four years from now, even if we didn't have four years of this MAHA Trump/Kennedy administration.

I've made this point about Kennedy's strategy vs. a real revolution a number of times. Obviously, he doesn't agree.

And he's just one of many activists, doctors, influencers, authors, reporters who look to POLITICAL MOVES to win victories for Medical Freedom and MAHA:

"Hey (wink, wink, nod, nod), I know all vaccines are terribly destructive, and so do you, but if I say that in public, if I say it a number of times, I'll never be able to advance a true health agenda for the country. You know what I'm doing, right? I lied to the Hearing Committee, I lied to reporters, I lied to the public once I decided I needed to work for the government, but all these lies had a reason. A good reason. The payoff. The eventual progress. Trust me. You'll see. You lie your way into power, and then you do good things."

These people, even the ones who believe this and aren't just con artists all the way down to their toes, are AFRAID.

And here's their rock-bottom fear, below all the other fears: they don't want to envision what they'd do if they were true revolutionaries.

6. OUR populism vs. Trump/Kennedy; not the same thing

(This is Part-1; for Part-2, go here)

As you've seen, when it comes to MEDICAL, I'm not putting my eggs in the Kennedy/Trump basket. Far from it.

My work has grown more popular among individuals, but for stalwarts inside the MAHA/Health Freedom official movements, I've become an outsider. A troublemaker.

Why? Because they want to exercise patience and trust in MAHA and Kennedy "backed up by Trump." They can see I'm not patient. I don't have that trust.

In fact, I see an upcoming collision between MAHA and "the medical experts," which will result in a win for the experts.

Why? Because MAHA and Kennedy won't put enough PRESSURE on the medical establishment. Too few giant medical CRIMES will be exposed.

The very crimes I've been exposing since 1988.

MAHA will dilute and decay.

Here's an analogy between what I've been saying about MAHA, and what Steve Bannon has been saying about Musk and DOGE:

Bannon: "But we have to be very specific before he [Musk] leaves to go back to Tesla, we need to have an accounting. And I mean details. Treasury's got to sign off, OMB's got to sign off, and every department head. We need to know exactly where he [what Musk] found because he went from two trillion a year [in waste and fraud] to one trillion a year to $150 billion next year, with nothing this year…You can't be serious if you're talking about waste, fraud, and abuse in our system unless you're in the Pentagon, finding out how it really operates. The alternative the populist nationalists offer is an alternative that you can see the sunlit uplands."

The sunlit uplands are: The Trump team confirms the gigantic trillions in waste and fraud, very specifically. And wins the battle to cut all of it. That's what the populists want.

The true populists in the Health Freedom movement want ALL the gigantic medical crimes exposed, and the medical cartel dismantled to a huge degree. Not some cosmetic changes. Not some dreary compromises. Not some "maybe future" changes to the CDC vaccine schedule.

Notice that when Kennedy recently endorsed the MMR vaccine, a number of his loyal associates—all of whom KNOW how destructive the MMR is—swallowed their anger and said NOTHING.

That's not populism. That's political hope. That's waiting.

I contacted a few of those Kennedy colleagues. People I know. I presented them my populist plan, an alternative, MEDICAL TRUTH NOW.

They didn't go for it. They didn't tell me their objections. They didn't get back to me at all. They just offered…silence.

In the same way Steve Bannon can see the wide populist MAGA movement stalling on the back of a futile DOGE operation, I can see MAHA and Health Freedom stagnating.

Because what Kennedy and traditional Health Freedom groups are doing is too little and not specific enough. Not by a long shot.

7. Free genitals in Canada

You can always count on me to document new ceilings on insanity.

National Post: "Ontario's top court has ruled the province must cover the cost of a penile-sparing vaginoplasty for a transgender resident who does not identify as exclusively female or male and who wishes to have both genitalia."

"In a unanimous decision released this week, a three-judge panel of the Ontario Court of Appeal confirmed a lower court's ruling that the novel phallus-preserving surgery qualifies as an insured service under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan."

"The latest ruling is the third unanimous decision in favour of the patient, identified as K.S. in court records."

See, "normally," this guy would have the surgeons make a vagina for him FROM his penis.

But he wants to wind up with both genitals intact.

Apparently, that can be done. Don't ask me how.

A penis is made from his nose? From a bratwurst?

The point is, it's free. The government (taxpayer) has to pay the bill. Under the Health Plan.

Here's another shocker. The first Ontario government-funded transgender surgery was performed in 1970!

The patient was Dianna Boileau. The hospital was Toronto General. In those days, approval for trans surgery had to come from the Gender Identity Clinic at the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry.

The psychiatrists were in on it from an early period. No surprise there. Shrinks are always looking for a high-crime freak show.

Lobotomy, electro-shock, any kind of torture and mutilation.

'Gender dysphoria', the cover story for current trans medical destruction, is an official mental disorder listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, published by the American Psychiatric Association.

"Well, the patient has Gender Dysphoria, so the drugs, hormones, and surgery are the TREATMENTS for the CONDITION."

8. Ozempic taking the country by storm—so are its dangerous effects, a whole slew of them

And so are the lawsuits. There are so many, they're being consolidated.

Ozempic was initially approved for "type 2 diabetes," but then the weight-loss effect, via off-label prescribing by doctors, propelled the drug through the roof. Big hit. Best seller. $$$.

Lots of doctors have apparently been ignoring the actual harm to their patients.

Here's a list:

Slows the natural emptying of the stomach—resulting in nausea, vomiting, bloating. Even worse, paralysis of the stomach.

Gallbladder inflammation, and gallstones. In some cases, patients have had their gallbladders removed.

Inflammation of the pancreas. Can be life-threatening.

Loss of vision.

"Suicidal thoughts, suicidal behavior."

Hollow cheeks, sagging skin. People look older.

The FDA has added a few warnings on the label, and "is investigating."

Let's see. A drug slows down the emptying of the stomach. Right away, that doesn't sound good. "Let's delay the whole process of digestion."

Because the stomach keeps its contents longer, people feel less hungry. That's the big reveal. "You can lose weight because you won't want to eat." This is on the level of, "You'll avoid injuries because you won't want to exercise, because your legs will feel heavy."

Ozempic's effects are chilling. Suddenly, a person can't see. He has to be rushed to the hospital to save his life, because his pancreas is ready to erupt.

Yes, the prescribing doctors are crazy. And that's a generous interpretation.

And the patients?

9. AG Pam Bondi recently worked for Pfizer? What?? What the hell is going on?

Bondi needs to answer very specific questions NOW.

ONE: Did you earn $203,738 in 2024 from the law firm Panza, Maurer & Maynard, where you served as "Of Counsel" to Pfizer? You did, right?

TWO: Why didn't you bring that up during your Senate confirmation hearing?

THREE: Did you fail to include that info (oops) on the hearing questionnaire you filled out?

FOUR: Exactly what did you do for Pfizer as their attorney? Why isn't your work for Pfizer in the available public record?

FIVE: It's also strange that your law firm at the time, Panza, Maurer & Maynard, doesn't describe its work for Pfizer. What's going on there, Pam?

SIX: Now let's get to the issue of conflict of interest. There is a whistleblower lawsuit filed by Brook Jackson, who used to work for Ventavia Research Group, which ran clinical trials for Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine.

Jackson states that Pfizer committed fraud—violated clinical trial protocols and manipulated data.

In March 2024, long before you took office as AG, the DOJ asked for that the case to be dismissed. I understand the case is still alive in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. I'm sure you know about the case, Pam. Are you planning to have the DOJ get back in the saddle and take an active role? If not, why not? Because you're still loyal to Pfizer?

SEVEN: Are there other Pfizer cases or investigations on the griddle at the DOJ, Pam? Cases you could either take on, full bore, or back away from?

For instance, AstraZeneca UK Limited et al v. Joshua Atchley et al, No. 23-9, is now being reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court. Pfizer is one of the defendants in that case. As I'm sure you know, Pfizer is accused of winning medical contracts by bribing the Iraqi Ministry of Health, which at the time was under the thumb of Jaysh al-Mahdi, a terrorist group. The plaintiffs in this case say Pfizer contributed to the deaths and injuries of American soldiers in Iraq. Depending on how the US Supremes rule in the case, you could bring in the DOJ to keep digging into this swamp. Would you, Pam, or would you back away and stay loyal to Pfizer?

You should go on the record with answers to all these questions, Pam. No bloviating. Give us straight talk. Details. Hold nothing back.

Or your tenure as AG could be short.

Pam, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that, if you're hiding something about your relationship with Pfizer, and other people (criminals) know that, they could hold your secret over your head, and get you to do things and not do things—they could run you. Control you. Own you.

Speak up, Pam.

You're supposed to be the number one law enforcement officer in America.

And as many of us would say, Pfizer is up there among the biggest criminals in America. You know, because of the COVID kill shot.

It's a messy situation, Pam:

10. What I’m doing on Substack NOW

I just turned 87, and I've never been more prolific as a writer than right now. That's a bit odd.

Part of it is probably the Trump effect. He's shows up on the scene, and the words and talking rise to a new crescendo. It's contagious. Whatever you think of him, the Trump scene is far different from four years of watching an old senile crank with murderous intent wander around a sanitarium in his bathrobe while his closest people tell him what to say and what to sign.

Part of it, though, is I've been writing exactly what I want to, year after year—so the overall energy automatically expands like a wild calendar adding new months ever day.

I've been publishing my work online since the year 2000.

That's enabled me to write with no outside editorial control.

I had my fill of that control for 18 years leading up to 2000.

I didn't like it.

Here on Substack, there's a very smooth set-up for subscriptions. It's the free market economy on an individual scale. In my case, yearly subscribers pay $1.15 a week. And over time, I've been writing and publishing an increasing number of article per week, to justify and over-justify that miniscule rate.

The bottom line is, I cover the good, the bad, and the ugly on all fronts.

Especially when it comes to MEDICAL, I apply pressure to the Trump people. And I have reason to believe some of my articles are getting through to them.

I keep pursuing deeper truth. That's what I give you every day. I believe I'm giving you more medical truth as any other medical writer in the world. That's not a flippant assertion. It's based on my observation, and my record.

On an economic level, I call that giving value for value. You contribute $1.15 a week, I contribute my investigations. Simple. Straightforward. No outside interference. No censorship from this end.

These days, the online social media noise in the world keeps ratcheting up. To astonishing levels. A billion people have billions of opinions. For some writers, that's a signal to carve out a small comfortable space far from the crowd. For me, that's a signal to redouble my efforts, and use my findings to LAUNCH and ATTACK. Attack lies and liars.

Like I say, I just turned 87. And my plan is: keep investigating, keep discovering, keep writing and publishing, keep launching and attacking—all the way.

The stakes are very high. Where is this country going? Where is the world going? We're meeting one crossroad after another.

I could try to retreat to a comfortable pool in a shady spot, but I prefer being in the fire.

Every time I think I've reached bottom on medical lies and truth, I find MORE. And not just on medical. Right now, I'm putting together a podcast that tackles both medical and media on a level I never knew existed—until I recently stumbled on a strange little story which turned out to have a string ten miles deep. You'll get all the details soon.

Over the past few years, it's been driven home to me that no writer worth his salt should have to think of himself as a charity giving away his work for nothing.

That old archetype and self-image isn't just a mistake. It's a formula for self-destruction.

I've never been a fan of self-destruction.

When a writer is giving his ALL and has the ability to write the truth that lies under surface, he's an entrepreneur. For some writers, that's an uncomfortable idea. "Tradition" likes to portray writers in a different vein. You know—O the joy of living in a garret in Paris and starving on stale bread.

When people want to put a smile on that story, they say…and then one day, an editor at a major publishing house found the writer's manuscript of his novel lying in an old corner of the office, read it, jumped out of his chair, plucked the writer out of the garret and made him famous.

But today, that story has been superseded. Because we have this thing called the Internet. Which means the writer doesn't have to wait for a glorious day that may never come. He can be his own publisher.

And since he is, he is also his own employer. Which unavoidably means he is an entrepreneur. He can keep himself from starving.

If he can.

So far, for all these years, I have.

Because I can write. I'm a writer. And because I have this predisposition for investigating, finding truth, laying it out, and upsetting apple carts.

Since I was a boy—upsetting apple carts was my thing. So I learned the necessary skills.

I'm glad, today, to have you with me. As readers, and yes, as subscribers. I make no bones about the subscription piece. Because I know I'm giving you value for value.

Without knowing it, I learned something about the entrepreneur piece from my father. Because he was on the brink of starving, as a boy of 11, when his father died, and as the oldest child he had to support his mother, brother, and sister.

He did it. And he kept doing it. And he became a major success.

I tell good and great writers who haven't caught on, there's nothing wrong with making a living.

To you paid subscribers out there, thank you. I'll keep delivering. To those of you who haven't come on board yet, give it a shot. There's nothing wrong with giving value for getting value.

It works, despite what free-market-hating elite socialists preach, in order to earn their crooked living.
