If confirmed by the Senate, Robert Kennedy will take charge of HHS, which controls the FDA, CDC, and NIH. If not confirmed by the Senate, he can still be appointed by the President under the Recess Appointments Clause in Article II, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution.
The following crises were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, on July 26, 2000. The government has yet to take steps to address them.
The author was Dr. Barbara Starfield, a widely respected public health expert at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Her review, “Is US Health Really the Best in the World?” revealed that, every year in the US, the medical system kills 225,000 people, and severely maims many more.
The breakdown 24 years ago has only become worse. At that time, the FDA approved drugs which killed 106,000 people, and mistreatment and errors in hospitals killed 119,000 people. Priorities for reform:
ONE: The FDA has been routinely approving medicines as safe, when they actually kill people.
TWO: Prestigious medical journals routinely publish glowing studies of medical drugs that are actually killing people.
THREE: The federal government has done NOTHING substantial to reform the deadly medical system.
FOUR: The mainstream press failed to follow up or investigate this explosive ongoing tragedy.
FIVE: The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has never highlighted THIS MEDICAL cause of disease.
SIX: The FDA has never made moves to completely overhaul its drug-approval process.
Opinion by Lau Vegys:
America's problems aren't fixable with patriotic sentiment. They're mathematical realities that don't care about your flag-waving.
The national debt recently hit $37 trillion. By 2033—the same year Social Security's trust fund runs dry—we're looking at debt exceeding $50 trillion. Interest payments alone will consume nearly half of all tax revenue.
At that point, the Federal Reserve will have no choice but to print tens of trillions of dollars to bail out the Treasury. The resulting inflation will make the early 1980s look like a picnic.
And of course, as I mentioned in a recent piece, whether it's $37 trillion now or $50 trillion in about eight years, the headline number is just the tip of the iceberg.
Add it all up—Medicare, Social Security, federal pensions, and other off-the-books promises—and the real financial hole the U.S. government faces is closer to $150 trillion. That’s nearly $1 million per taxpayer.
The Guardian reports that 15,000 Afghans were relocated to the UK in a secret scheme, while Breitbart reported that nearly 24,000 Afghans were brought in, with the British government earmarking £7 billion to secretly house and import them.
The UK taxpayer has no choice but to pay up, while government transparency was lacking.
Whether all these Afghans were vetted remains unknown. Given the reputation of the UK along with many Western countries, the vetting process for migrants is nearly nonexistent, and highly questionable in this case in particular.
Also, in the spring of 2023, while Rishi Sunak was prime minister and many UK military families had no heat or hot water, the government continued to host illegal migrants in plush hotels, at the cost to taxpayers of $8.5 million USD a day and rising. And while homelessness was up over 27% in Britain, illegal, mostly Muslim migrants from the Middle East and Africa, were royally served in those plush hotels. Now it comes to light that in...
"The fate of Trump’s presidency will likely be decided this summer; if he doesn’t drain the Deep State the Deep State will drain him—and possibly America, too; Trump can’t skate through this like he did during his first go-round."
