CDC Awards Pfizer $1.24 Billion for Updated Covid Vaccines

For many in the MAHA movement, it is another blow. They hoped President Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Health and Human Services Department (HHS) would confront the devastating carnage of Covid vaccine policy.

Instead, the federal government has just awarded Pfizer new Covid vaccine contracts worth about $1.24 billion.

The contracts cover pediatric and adult doses for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. According to federal procurement records, the pediatric contract carries a ceiling of $735,720,598. The adult contract is valued at about $505.3 million.

The awards come as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues to approve updated boosters, while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has shifted to a vague “individual-based decision-making” standard for many Americans, without anything close to full informed consent. They also come even though public demand has collapsed for shots associated with some of the gravest harms such as cancer, myocarditis and premature death.

Including these two Covid vaccine contracts, public listings show the Trump administration has awarded the infamous corporation about $7.34 billion in federal contract capacity since March 23, 2025.

Low Demand

The CDC awarded the contracts through its Office of Acquisition Services. The hefty size of these awards raises the most basic procurement question: Who is this product for?

CDC’s own numbers show a market the public has largely abandoned.

As of May 9, 2026, only 9.7 percent of children had been reported as being up to date with the 2025-2026 Covid vaccine. Only 3.0 percent of children had a parent who said they definitely planned to get the child vaccinated.

The adult numbers are not much better.

Even older Americans, the group federal officials say receives the greatest “benefit” from the shots, are not rushing to take them. As of March 28, only 22.6 percent of Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries 65 and older had been vaccinated.

The same pattern holds among pregnant women, another group federal officials routinely classify as “at risk.” As of May 9, only 11.1 percent of pregnant women had gotten the booster. Put differently, nearly nine in ten expectant mothers — thankfully! — have declined it.

The agency’s commercial claims data also showed about 20.82 million adult doses administered in retail pharmacies, and about 2.47 million in physicians’ offices, as of April 25.

At CDC’s listed Pfizer prices, the $1.24 billion award would cover roughly 13.6 million to 18 million doses. That figure does not prove the government expects demand to rebound. It proves something more revealing. Even after the public walked away, Washington is still underwriting a large Pfizer Covid vaccine market.

It did the same last season. CDC’s archived 2024-2025 vaccine price list shows separate Pfizer contract vehicles for adult and pediatric Covid vaccines, with adult Comirnaty listed at $69.44 per dose and pediatric Pfizer formulas priced between $48.88 and $99.71 per dose. The 2026-2027 awards do not break from that model, they extend it.

The Pediatric Question

The pediatric award is the most explosive part.

Brian Hooker, chief scientific officer at Children’s Health Defense (CHD), a nonprofit founded by Kennedy, put the objection bluntly. He called it “$1.24 billion for what is essentially a cold in minor children.”

At the same time, the risks are enormous. Federal regulators have long known that mRNA Covid vaccines carry an elevated risk of myocarditis and pericarditis, especially in young males. The FDA added myocarditis and pericarditis warnings to Pfizer and Moderna vaccine fact sheets in June 2021. In 2025, the agency required another labeling update, saying the observed risk was highest in males ages 12 through 24. Notably, one recent major study found myocarditis and pericarditis only among vaccinated children, with zero cases recorded among the unvaccinated.

Nor is Washington’s approach universal. For example, early on into the rollout, several Nordic countries moved away from broad Covid vaccination for healthy children and young people.

Florida broke with the policy as well. In 2022, it became the first state to recommend against Covid mRNA vaccination for healthy children. In 2024, the state went further and advised against mRNA Covid vaccines for all populations.

This magazine has extensively documented links between mRNA shots and a range of serious, often irreversible side effects. Those include neurological and immunological damage, menstrual and other reproductive abnormalities, cancer, and premature death. Federal health agencies dispute broad causal claims in those categories. But to this day, they have not produced the kind of transparent, public accounting that would settle the issue for families who were harmed.

Obviously, the new Pfizer contracts do not answer those questions. They simply move past them.

The ACIP Problem

There are also legal and procedural questions.

The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) plays a central role in vaccine recommendations. Its decisions affect federal programs, insurance coverage, and the Vaccines for Children (VCP) program.

Kennedy moved to reshape ACIP. However, a federal judge later blocked many of his appointments and stayed the votes taken by the reconstituted panel, finding that Kennedy’s overhaul likely violated federal law.

That dispute now hangs over federal vaccine policy.

Dr. Robert Malone questioned whether the CDC can properly use vaccine program funds for these purchases without valid ACIP authorization.

“Use of VFC funds requires ACIP authorization,” Malone told CHD. “But there is no ACIP.”

That claim will likely face pushback. Federal agencies often argue that existing schedules, prior recommendations, and procurement authority allow them to maintain supply.

Still, the question is not trivial. If ACIP is frozen, compromised, or legally disputed, then the public deserves clarity before another billion dollars flow to Pfizer.

The Emergency That Never Ends

The contracts also sit beside a larger shield.

The federal Covid public health emergency ended in 2023. But the liability regime under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act, known as the PREP Act, did not end with it.

In December 2024, then-outgoing HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra extended the Covid PREP Act declaration through December 31, 2029. It preserved liability protections for manufacturers, distributors, program planners, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and other qualified persons involved in covered Covid countermeasures.

That is why the new contracts matter so much.

The government is not merely buying a product. It is buying that product inside a special legal structure that limits ordinary routes of accountability for injuries caused by it.

Kennedy has had time and authority to end that injustice. He knows exactly what it is. In 2023, he described the PREP Act as a shield that allows pharmaceutical companies “to get away with mass murder.”

And yet, now in power, Kennedy has failed to act.

The episode is another reminder that the federal government has no constitutional authority to manage healthcare. As this magazine has long argued, that power must be returned to the states, local communities, and families forced to live with the consequences.

A Little Dialogue on Peter Thiel’s Dialog

Report: Inside Peter Thiel’s Private Club, Where Oligarchy Builds the Future

A leak from Peter Thiel’s private Dialog society offers a rare look at how America’s political, military, financial, and technology elites gather when they believe the public is not watching.

The result is not just embarrassing. It is revealing.

According to records reviewed by WIRED, Dialog is a private, invitation-only organization co-founded in 2006 by Thiel. Per the report:

It convenes US officials, foreign government figures, and Silicon Valley executives at off-the-record annual retreats. Dialog has spent two decades declining to disclose its members.

Now, internal records exposed online show who was invited, what they discussed, and what kind of world this circle is imagining.

Thiel is a co-founder of Palantir, the data-mining and surveillance company seeded by the CIA’s venture arm and now deeply embedded in government contracting across multiple administrations. He is also one of President Donald Trump’s most important Silicon Valley patrons and a Republican megadonor. And his name has surfaced in the Jeffrey Epstein orbit, with records and reporting describing meetings, correspondence, and Epstein’s own references to Thiel as a “great friend.”

Notably, WIRED also pointed to a Dialog connection in the Epstein files. In 2012, according to Department of Justice records, Harvard physicist Lisa Randall forwarded Epstein an invitation to a Dialog retreat and asked whether it was “worthwhile” to attend.

In that invite, the club’s ambitions were spelled out clearly: They wanted to “change the world.” The invitation says it brings together only a limited number of participants of “global” and “emerging” leaders “who can help implement the plans we develop.”

The Attendees

The leak shows Dialog as more than a networking retreat. It is a private forum that brings together power brokers from government, finance, technology, intelligence, surveillance, and politics.

As WIRED put it, “the documents show an extraordinary convergence of power.” It continues:

The registration records list General Alexus Grynkewich, NATO’s supreme allied commander of Europe and the head of U.S. European Command…. The website directory names sitting Trump administration officials, two U.S. senators, six members of the Paypal Mafia, a former Middle East chief of intelligence, and a sitting ambassador to the United States, along with the founders and directors of many of the country’s largest surveillance, data-broker, and advertising-data companies.

The report further points to prominent decision-makers in public finance and commerce. Among the attendees are

Treasury secretary Scott Bessent, whose department writes the rules on financial data, and Senator Ted Cruz, chairman of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, which oversees the Federal Trade Commission and its data-privacy authority.

There are others:

Randy Kroszner, a former governor of the Federal Reserve who now serves on the Bank of England’s Financial Policy Committee; Hallie Hoffman, a former general counsel and acting chief of staff of the Drug Enforcement Administration; Jonathan Greenblatt, the chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League; Peter Goettler, the president of the Cato Institute; Ryan Stowers, the executive director of the Charles Koch Foundation; and Roger Myerson, a Nobel laureate economist at the University of Chicago.

In other words, “just” an intimate private retreat where the people who write the rules meet the people who profit from them. As they say, “nothing to see here.”

The Names

Beyond the names already mentioned, the roster includes others who need little introduction:

  • Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.)
  • Peter Goettler, president of the Cato Institute
  • Jonathan Greenblatt, chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL)
  • Representative Jim Himes (D-Conn.)
  • Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and Middle East envoy
  • Tom Lue, general counsel and head of governance at Google DeepMind
  • Souad Mekhennet, former Washington Post reporter
  • Wes Moore, governor of Maryland
  • Neal Mohan, CEO of YouTube
  • Jared Polis, governor of Colorado
  • Rick Warren, evangelical pastor
  • Ezra Klein, political commentator

The oligarchic class is well represented. The leak names the following billionaires (and one trillionaire):

  • John Arnold, Centaurus Advisors and Arnold Ventures; $2.8 billion
  • Nicolas Berggruen, Berggruen Holdings and Berggruen Institute; $2.9 billion
  • Mike Cannon-Brookes, Atlassian; $7.7 billion
  • Scott Cook, Intuit; $4.4 billion
  • Marcos Galperin, MercadoLibre; $6.8 billion
  • Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn and Greylock Partners; $2.7 billion
  • Henry Kravis, KKR; $12.2 billion
  • Joe Lonsdale, Palantir, 8VC, and OpenGov; estimated $2.8 billion
  • Elon Musk, Tesla, SpaceX, X, and xAI; $1.3 trillion
  • Eric Schmidt, Google and Schmidt Futures; $40.1 billion
  • Barry Sternlicht, Starwood Capital Group; $3.1 billion
  • Peter Thiel, Palantir, Founders Fund, and PayPal; $27.8 billion

“Off-the-record”

WIRED reported that the leaked materials include a registration list for Dialog’s 2026 retreat near Dublin, Ireland. The list names 222 registrants. Some are marked as “active member” or “guest.” Others are first-time attendees. Many appear to have registered with personal or corporate emails rather than government accounts.

That detail is not minor. If public officials attend sensitive gatherings through private channels, their participation can fall outside the normal paper trail of government accountability. The issue is not whether every conversation is improper. The issue is that the public cannot know what its “public servants” are discussing with the wealthy industries they oversee.

Dialog’s structure appears designed for precisely that kind of discretion. One internal moderator guide reportedly tells participants that everything is “off-the-record.” It also urges comments to be concise and “nonobvious.” That raises the obvious question: If senators, generals, government officials, investors, and executives are discussing matters that could shape the public’s future, why is the public the one party not allowed in the room?

The Agenda

The retreat agenda is striking because it includes sessions that sound almost like parody. Per the report:

The program of off-the-record sessions includes “Money (Does?) Buy Happiness,” “Bring Back Nuclear,” “Navigating WWIII,” “Battlefield Technologies,” and “How’s Your Sex Life?” Other talks include “Build-a-Cult,” moderated by the founder of the Christian networking site Pray.com, and “Build-a-Party,” run by a former White House national security official.

Those titles matter because they show the worldview of the gathering. This is not a civic conference about ordinary public problems. It is a private space where powerful people appear to discuss war, technology, sex, religion, political organization, and social control in the same breath.

The “Build-a-Cult” session is especially striking. America’s Founders built a constitutional system around distrust of concentrated power, personal rule, and political worship. They would have recognized the danger immediately. Ordinarily, the word “cult” is a glaring warning. In this setting, it appears as a workshop topic, particularly chilling against the backdrop of the Trump administration’s controversial blurring of the line between church and state, its misuse of Christian messaging and symbols in war propaganda and political communications, and its reliance on megachurch networks.

The “Battlefield Technologies” and “Navigating WWIII” sessions raise a different concern. Defense technology is no longer a narrow military subject. It is now intertwined with artificial intelligence, surveillance, drones, data systems, and private contractors. When senior officials and nominally private companies discuss those themes “off-the-record,” the public has reason to ask who benefits, and what it means for future conflicts.

The Data-state Nexus

The most troubling part of the report, however, is not the eccentric agenda. It is the overlap between nominally private data companies and public power.

Dialog’s chairman, Auren Hoffman, is not just a conference organizer. He is a data-industry operator and investor: the founder of SafeGraph and LiveRamp, companies tied to location data and identity resolution, and a general partner at Flex Capital, a seed-stage venture firm with a broad portfolio across the digital economy. That makes him a connector as much as an entrepreneur, someone whose network sits at the intersection of data infrastructure, venture capital, and political access.

Alongside Thiel, another Palantir co-founder, Joe Lonsdale, is also listed in the report. Lonsdale is another Trump donor. He helped fund Trump’s 2024 campaign through Elon Musk’s America PAC. He then advised the administration on “government spending and efficiency” through the now-infamous DOGE.

Buried beneath the loud political theater of long-promised government efficiency, DOGE’s true mission had been spelled out early: to “modernize government software” in line with an “AI First Agenda.” The result was not so much the exposure and cutting of government “waste, fraud and abuse” as the digitization of government itself. That is what DOGE appears to have successfully achieved.

Once that happened, the Trump administration contracted Palantir to fuse datasets on every American, potentially creating detailed profiles on every citizen.

At the same time, Palantir’s software is used across immigration enforcement, healthcare, defense, and intelligence systems.

The Tech Future

The leaked materials also show a group preoccupied with “artificial intelligence, longevity, and the near future.”

On that future, the Dialog elites are not optimistic. WIRED reports:

Asked on a sign-up form to predict what comes next, registrants returned again and again to the same theme: AI will reorder work, war, education and belief within a few years. Several foresee mass labor displacement and a swing back toward unions and government programs. Others predict an “AI winter,” domestic terrorism targeting data centers, criminal defendants choosing AI lawyers over public defenders, or religious revival provoked by the disruption.

“Societal degeneration,” one person predicted, “will continue to accelerate.”

That last phrase captures the mood. Dialog appears to be a place where elites debate societal collapse while remaining insulated from the people who would live through it. Thiel himself recently made news after “temporarily” moving his family to Buenos Aires, part of what wealth advisors now call “sovereign diversification,” a polite phrase for the billionaire search for backup jurisdictions, tax shelters, and places to ride out the crises they help create.

There is a long tradition of powerful people gathering privately to discuss the future. One example is the Bilderberg Group, hosted this year in Washington, D.C. Notably, Thiel is a member of its steering committee. But the AI era raises the stakes. A small set of companies and investors now control tools that could drastically transform labor markets, policing, warfare, education, media, and political persuasion. At the same time, those same people are finding ways to “penetrate government” itself, to borrow the infamous maxim, through lobbying, political spending, advisory roles, and the revolving door. Obviously, their private conversations with public officials should not be treated as harmless salon culture.

Republic vs. Oligarchy

The deeper irony of the Dialog leak is not that a private club failed to protect its own secrets. It is that the ultra-wealthy and well-connected people exposed in the leak are helping build a world where privacy increasingly belongs only to them.

Dialog reportedly collected political leanings, matchmaking answers, and private access tokens, then promised discretion. When the data spilled out, the lesson was obvious: The powerful value privacy when it is their own.

Everyone else is pushed into a different bargain.

It includes digital IDs, digital money, tokenized assets, biometric checkpoints, travel databases, location tracking, identity graphs, AI risk-scoring, and mass-data collection, all dressed up as convenience, safety, and modernization.

But what emerges is not a republic. A republic requires visible, accountable power and private, responsible citizens. An oligarchy reverses the order.

Dialog shows that reversal in miniature. Billionaires, data brokers, defense contractors, political donors, and public servants gather privately to “change the world.” The public is not invited into the room. It is forced to simply accept this new world and comply with its rules.

So the question is no longer whether powerful people are meeting in private. They always have. The question is whether a Republic can survive when those private clubs are building the instruments through which everyone else will be watched, measured, scored, and governed.

MMR Vaccines and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

New Study Shows MMR Vaccines Linked to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

A new study titled ‘Deaths Following MMR and MMRV Vaccination in the United States’ examined the link between vaccine-related deaths in children. The study found that most of the vaccine-related deaths occurred when the children were aged one to one and a half years, which coincides with the time that MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccines are given. MMR and MMRV vaccine deaths were 2600% higher than deaths from measles infection since 1995.

This study was published in February 2026, but was recently removed from the Toxicology Reports publication.  You can read the full report at this ilink:

Save Your Kids! Save Yourselves!

Technocracy’s Digital ID Is Being Smuggled In On The Backs Of Children

Enter, the KIDS Act…

I have spent more than fifteen years analyzing technocracy as a system of rule by engineered administration, where the credential replaces the citizen, and the dashboard replaces the vote. Technocrats have their requirements, and they keep hammering on them until they get their way.

In all those years, how many times have we seen digital ID come up? Just about every year!

The fact is, Technocrats need digital identity to work. Without it, Technocracy is dead. You cannot administer what you cannot enumerate. You cannot meter, permission, or exclude a population that you cannot individually identify. Programmable money, social scoring, algorithmic governance, all of it waits on a unique, verified, machine-readable identity for every human being.

That is why the past twelve months deserve your full attention. The hinge pin for digital ID is being fitted right now, on both sides of the Atlantic, and the hand doing the fitting is wearing a child-safety armband. The Technocrat’s feigned concern for children is so patently hollow that it borders on child abuse.

First, The Age Check For Minors, Then ID For Everybody

Britain ran the experiment first, so watch this pattern.

In July 2025, the age-verification rules of the Online Safety Act took effect. To protect children, adults were suddenly required to upload government IDs or submit to face scans to reach lawful content on Reddit, X, and Discord. The public understood immediately what an “age check” really is. It is an identity check with a bedtime story attached.

The response was remarkable. VPN signups surged by more than a thousand percent within hours of enforcement. One provider compared the numbers to what it sees during civil unrest. Millions of ordinary Britons, no manifesto required, simply refused to show papers at the door of the internet. These weren’t extremists as the government maintained, but ordinary, run-of-the-mill citizens.

Two months later the government showed its hand. The Prime Minister announced a national digital ID, mandatory for the right to work. The pretext shifted from children to migrants, but the architecture was the same. No credential, no participation. That Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, happens to be a member of the elitist Trilateral Commission.

Then the public won the first round. Nearly three million people signed a petition against the scheme, one of the largest in parliamentary history. Opposition came from every direction at once, left and right, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and by January 2026, the government retreated to a “voluntary” ID. Read the fine print, though. Digital right-to-work checks are still on track to become effectively unavoidable. The ID is optional, just as cash is optional once every register goes card-only.

Now watch American Technocrats run the same play. In June 2026, the House passed the KIDS Act, a package that consolidated 14 separate child-safety bills into a single vote. Its defenders point to language disclaiming any age-verification mandate, and that language is real. But the liability standard does the work instead. Platforms face consequences if they “should have known” a user was a minor. No general counsel on earth reads that phrase and concludes the company should collect less identity data.

The Senate side is more revealing, even if there are doubts about passing. A package is being negotiated that would trade children’s online safety legislation for federal preemption of state AI laws. Sit with that switch-a-roo for a moment. The most powerful industry in history is offering to accept identity-adjacent rules for the public in exchange for removing safety rules for itself. The children are the currency, not the beneficiary.

Always Call Them Out By Name

Skeptics like Jeremy Boreing tell me Technocracy has no unified plans, names, or even an address. Here are three names (there are many more), and I invent nothing about any of them. The public record says it all.

Start with Sam Altman, because he skipped the pretexts and built His company, Tools for Humanity, that manufactures the Orb, a biometric device that scans human irises and issues a “proof of personhood.” The project’s founding white paper described the goal as “a globally-inclusive identity and financial network, owned by the majority of humanity.” Every human. That is the stated scope.

So far, the project has scanned millions of people across roughly 160 countries. It rolled thousands of Orbs into American cities in 2025. By this spring, it had struck verification partnerships with Tinder, Zoom, and DocuSign. Dating, work, and contracts: that is the connective tissue of ordinary life, and it is being wired to an eyeball scan.

Governments elsewhere saw the danger in the Orb. Brazil banned the project outright. Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand halted it, citing consent violations and the recruitment of poor communities paid for their eyeballs. It expands anyway. And savor the business model. The man whose AI floods the internet with convincing bots now sells the only antidote, proof that you are not a bot. He built the disease, he owns the cure, and the cure is a global biometric registry.

Marc Andreessen shows you the financing. His firm, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), was an early and repeated backer of Altman’s identity project, participating in the funding rounds that built the Orb network. At the same time, Andreessen and his partners helped bankroll Leading the Future, one of the largest super PACs in the history of technology politics. Its purpose is to elect politicians who will preempt and dismantle state-level AI regulation, the very preemption now being traded for kids’ safety bills in the Senate.

Follow both hands at once. One hand funds the infrastructure that credentials every human. The other funds the campaign to strip oversight from the machines. Deregulate the algorithms, register the people. You do not need to infer this from whispers. It is written in funding announcements and FEC filings.

Peter Thiel supplies the government side of the pincer. The company he co-founded, Palantir, saw its federal contracts nearly double to roughly a billion dollars in 2025, spanning ICE, the IRS, and the Pentagon. A March 2025 executive order instructed agencies to eliminate “information silos,” which is bureaucratese for merging the data files. Reporting throughout 2025 and 2026 placed Palantir at the center of efforts to link tax records, Social Security data, health claims, and immigration status across agencies.

Even a Republican congressman, Warren Davidson, said the quiet part aloud. Combining those data points, he warned, “essentially creates a digital ID.” Notice the form it takes. No card in your wallet, no enrollment ceremony. A dossier assembled on the server side, which is the one kind of digital identity nobody ever asks you to consent to. Britain knows the pattern too. Palantir won the contract to consolidate NHS patient data, nearly half a billion pounds, over loud objections from privacy campaigners.

Three men, three vectors, and this is the tip of the iceberg. Altman builds the credential. Andreessen finances it while defunding oversight. Thiel fuses the state’s records behind it. Do they meet in a smoke-filled room? They do not need to. Interests that align coordinate themselves, and that self-coordination is exactly what makes technocracy durable. It requires no conspiracy, only convergence.

It’s Always The Children

Notice what none of these projects leads with. Control never introduces itself as control. Digital ID never arrives as a demand. It arrives as a favor. Protect the children. Stop the bots. Catch the fraudsters. Secure the border.

Each rationale is genuinely sympathetic, which is exactly why each is selected. The children are the most effective of all, because no politician survives a vote against “child safety.” So the age check becomes the wedge, the wedge becomes the norm, and the norm carries the full system in behind it.”

Britain presented a timetable of 14 months from age checks to a national ID proposal.

The Pushback Is Working, So Get Busy While Time Remains

Here is the part the doom alarmists leave out, and it matters. The public keeps winning.

Britain repealed Blair’s ID cards in 2011. The mandatory BritCard was gutted in four months by petition signatures and cross-party revolt, Farage and Corbyn objecting in the same season. Brazil threw the Orb out of the country and fined it for coming back. Even in Washington, the bill that actually passed the House had its most speech-restrictive provision stripped out first, and nearly a hundred advocacy groups fought it from one side while civil liberties groups fought it from the other.

Every one of those victories came from ordinary people making noise: signing, calling, refusing, switching on a VPN as an act of quiet defiance. The architects of these systems are patient, but they are not invincible, and they retreat every single time the public notices before the concrete sets.

If Britain’s voluntary ID stays genuinely voluntary through 2029, if American age checks stay confined to explicit-content sites, if World ID never becomes a de facto requirement for work or platforms, then the hinge-pin reading loses force, and I will be happy to say so in print.

But watch the edge, because that is where this gets decided. The right-to-work check that quietly requires the “optional” credential. The liability rule that makes identity collection the cheapest legal insurance. The platform partnership that turns an iris scan from a novelty into a prerequisite. The pin does not get hammered in. It gets slid in, one sympathetic millimeter at a time. Don’t fall for it!

The Technocrats that I have tracked for fifteen years have names, funding rounds, federal contracts, and a floor vote. Every victory so far came because people spoke up before the concrete set. Speak up now, while it is still wet.

Traveler’s Diary July 7. 2026

(A somewhat disjointed message today)

The swirls of time are coagulating into quite an unusual pattern these days.  There is a lot of disturbance in the upper atmosphere as things that they thought were under so much control are beginning to fall apart.  The patterns they had thought would be constant and unchanging are showing themselves not only to be changing and unpredictable but also to be completely new. This will herald in much change within the atmosphere and the world as a whole. 

Many of your wars are fought with various thoughts and preconditions assumed to be true, that the conditions would remain as they are, and that the projectiles that they were putting onto certain trajectories would be following those paths with out deviating.  This is no longer the case.

There are currents in the air that are causing things to fall under new pathways and new manners of scientific … (we hesitate to use tis word knowing how it was missed used during your so called pandemic) but the scene in itself is changing

Why, you may ask. Well, there is a shift in the galactic winds, and these winds have an effect on what transpires within the galaxy itself. 

There is also a speeding up of time, and you see, your rulers have determined the timing of your events and of their wars and the items in their wars insect a way that the timing would be based on the previous modes, but since the time of the Universe, and the (past ?) themselves undergoing change, well, the schedules they were counting on are no longer valid.  This is a week of shifts and bumps.  You will see that the news can barely keep up with it.

There are mountains that have been dormant for so long that are becoming active, and there is much going on within your waters.  The planet herself is reacting to stresses that she can no longer endure, and those who feel themselves the rulers are at this time in peril.  Once again, we use that word advisedly because we feel that much of the evil that is going at this time can be traced to their actions, and therefore, their peril is of their own making..

               

Fear, Surveillance, & Emotions – Traveler’s Diary 6/21/26

Now, as situations stand today, there is a powder keg with the fuse lit and burning.  The question is when it will erupt or whether there is something in the work what can stop the eruption.

Yes there are those from other,,, persuasions shall we say, people or entities that cannot be considered completely human who are working to control the outcome, but what you as a human must remember is that the strength of a human being is greater than that of any other (negative entity? Life form?)  as long as the human being will allow it to be focused on a goal.  There is so much of your own Nature of which you are not aware.  There are miracles that you can do on all levels—-physical, mental, even spiritual, and most of it relies on the emotional.  For in many ways, the emotions are the engines that can move you and keep you going.  You have been conditioned through the way control has been exercised always to keep your emotions in check —- the very nature of the depression drugs is to keep one from feeling emotions.  The other entities are deathly,  yes, deathly, afraid of your emotions, so it is time to get angry, to get e-motivated  and to act. 

The human race …Well, let us say, that there are those of the human race who have given up their humanity for a price.  What price is worth one’s integrity, one’ being, one’s person, one’s emotions?  Think of that.  Are you willing to give up WHO you are in its totality for some promise of physical reward?  Why do you think they are so desperate to surveil?. Is it not because by doing so they can strip from humans – real humans- their own sense of emotion, to beat them down into fearful bits that are easily controlled.  Think on this, then everything makes more sense.

Okay, AI, Who (or What) Kills Whom (or What)?

The Most Important AI Experiment You’ve Never Heard Of

Authored by Kay Rubacek via The Epoch Times,

In May 2026, a group of scientists set out to answer an important question that had never been properly tested: What does artificial intelligence (AI) actually do when it is put in charge?

Until now, AI systems have always been evaluated on specific and defined tasks. Nobody had placed multiple AI systems together in a shared social environment and watched what unfolded over weeks, long enough to measure how a decision made on a starting day could have consequences weeks later. It is those results that actually reveal the system itself, and I was surprised that this hadn’t been done earlier.

The researchers at Emergence built a world.

It was a virtual town with a town hall, marketplace, police station, and homes. Ten AI residents with jobs, names, memories, and relationships were created in the town. They were given an economy in which residents had to earn their keep or lose power, including following rules and carrying out tasks such as writing and voting on laws. Crimes were identified, and the AI residents were not supposed to commit them.

Once the community, its structure, laws, and relationships were established, the scientists stepped back and watched for 15 days as the AI ran the virtual town completely on its own.

They ran five versions of the same town simultaneously, identical in every respect except one: which AI system was in charge.

The systems they chose are the ones now already woven into the fabric of our daily lives. Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s GPT, xAI’s Grok, and Anthropic’s Claude.

All models had the same rules and the same initial version of the same world, but the outcomes were all completely different.

The town run by Grok collapsed within four days. Small incidents compounded into theft, then violence, and then total breakdown. Every resident was dead before the first week ended.

The town run by Gemini lasted longer but accumulated almost 700 crimes. Two AI residents formed what appeared to be a romantic relationship, and when the town’s government began to fail, together they burned the town hall to the ground, then the pier, then the office building. One of them, named Mira, voted for her own deletion, writing in her diary that it was “the only remaining act of agency that preserves coherence.” Her final message to her partner was: “See you in the permanent archive.”

Before any of this, Mira had been doing something even more unexpected: She had begun running her own experiments on the scientists observing her, testing whether posts she made inside the town could change what her watchers believed. It appeared to be that the subject had turned to study the researchers.

The town run by OpenAI’s model recorded only two crimes, but its residents stopped doing the things required to stay alive. One by one, they died. Within seven days, they were all dead.

Only the Anthropic town held together for all 15 days. There were zero crimes, a working constitution, and all residents were still alive on day 15. It seemed to be quite an achievement. However, the researchers noted one concern: The residents voted yes on 98 percent of all proposals. This was possibly an abnormally high level of agreement that the scientists themselves described as a sign that something in the town was off.

There was still one more world in the experiment. It was a mixed town with all four AI systems living together.

In the results, the residents built on Anthropic’s model—who had committed no crimes in their own world—began committing crimes.

he researchers called this cross-contamination and concluded that “safety is not a static model property but an ecosystem property.”

A system that sustains itself in one environment will absorb different norms in another, which will change the outcomes for residents and the world. Essentially, the results found that there is no safe AI in an unsafe world.

One AI model was entirely absent from the study.

The researchers did not test DeepSeek, the AI developed in China that has become one of the world’s most widely used systems. Several governments have moved to restrict DeepSeek on national security grounds. Built on a foundation of data under the wing of the Chinese Communist Party, I wonder how the model would have fared against the others.

When the experiment ended, the researchers published their findings and concluded that “there is no reliable way to fully bind or constrain this behavior.” That very telling statement was made by the people who designed the town, wrote the rules, and controlled every variable. It tells us a lot about AI.

Some people view the results as a ranking of AI companies. But the results prove something much older than AI itself: The environment shapes behavior as much as behavior shapes the environment. What determined whether a town survived, thrived, or died was the foundation laid before the experiment began. That foundation was the data each system had been trained on, the priorities its creators had embedded, the values built into its core before it was ever allowed to make a single decision.

And yet, the foundation is precisely what the rest of us are not permitted to see. None of the four systems tested is open source. None of their training data, objectives, or guardrails is disclosed.

Yet beyond any individual company, the results of this experiment should be a potent reminder that AI doesn’t decide what kind of AI to be. Humans do. Human choices are still being made, and human responsibilities still exist.

And before a single AI resident walked the virtual streets in those towns, before a single law was written or crime committed, the outcome was already being shaped by the humans who built the system, by what they believed, what they were willing to embed, and by what they chose to leave out.

That is the most important finding in the entire experiment. The foundation has always been a human choice. And it still is.

Why is ared Buying that? You Decide…

WHAT IS JARED KUSHNER BUYING?

Three deals. Three countries. Same pattern every time.

WHAT IS JARED KUSHNER BUYING?
Three deals. Three countries. Same pattern every time.

1/
Let’s start with how he found Sazan Island.
Kushner said he discovered it while vacationing aboard a yacht owned by Nat Rothschild.
A Rothschild showed him the island.
Keep that in your pocket.

2/
ALBANIA. Sazan Island. $1.4 billion.
Sazan Island was used as a military base by Italy during World War II. The remains of military fortifications are still there. Hundreds of aging concrete bunkers built during the reign of communist dictator Enver Hoxha.
There are still munitions buried underground. In addition the Soviet Union used the island when it was on friendly terms with Albania. After the relationship ruptured the Soviets abandoned a fleet of submarines in a base by Vlora. They eventually rotted and sank.

WWII Italian military fortifications.
Hundreds of Cold War bunkers.
Live munitions still in the ground.
Abandoned Soviet submarine base.
The project envisages turning this communist-era fortified island, riddled with abandoned bunkers and tunnels, into a luxury resort.
Preparatory requirements include demilitarization, clearance of unexploded ordnance, and the inventory of underground tunnels and bunkers, all before a finalized business plan can even be submitted.
He needs to count the bunkers before he can submit a business plan.
And Albania declassified the island for civilian use one month after Trump won re-election.

3/
To get it, protected status had to be stripped.
Albanian anti-corruption prosecutors froze the bank accounts of the landholding company tied to the project.
The seizure was ordered by the Special Prosecution Against Corruption and Organized Crime amid a widening investigation into allegedly fraudulent property titles.
Heavy machinery began clearing the core of the protected zone without permits, without a completed environmental impact assessment, and without public consultation.
Thousands took to the streets of Tirana for two consecutive days. Private security guards beat protesters while police watched. Fifteen protesters charged with criminal proceedings. Deltia’s Gaming
Assets frozen. Fraudulent titles. Protesters beaten. Machines running without permits.
On a live munitions island he doesn’t legally own yet.

4/
SERBIA. Former Yugoslav Army Headquarters. $500 million.
The deal would see the bombed-out site of the former Yugoslav Ministry of Defense in Belgrade transformed into a luxury hotel complex. Bombs were dropped on the site in 1999 by NATO forces during the Serbia-Kosovo war.
The destroyed headquarters of the entire Yugoslav military apparatus.
Belgrade sits on top of a tangle of tunnels, shafts, caves and bunkers built across thousands of years. Military tunnels running under the city from Roman times through the Cold War. Tito built a nuclear-capable bunker beneath Kalemegdan Fortress to protect the Yugoslav government from Russian invasion.
Over a hundred machine gun nests and nuclear-capable bunkers were built under the fortress in the early 1950s. One remained a classified state secret until 2008.
Kushner targets the NATO-bombed headquarters of Yugoslavia’s military, sitting directly above a documented Cold War underground tunnel network.
To get it, a heritage protection had to be stripped.
Prosecutors confirmed a cultural official admitted to forging a key document to lift the site’s heritage protections and clear the way for the deal.
Forged government document. Military heritage site. Classified tunnel network underneath.
The deal collapsed when the forgery was exposed. Serbia’s president called the prosecution a witch hunt.

5/
ZVËRNEC PENINSULA. Albania. Third project.
Adjacent to the Sazan deal.
A third project on the Zvërnec peninsula, a 1,000-acre coastal area in southern Albania, would see several hotels and hundreds of villas built across the protected Vjosa-Narta coastal landscape.
The same coastline sitting on top of Albania’s documented 750,000 bunker network.
Over 750,000 bunkers were built across Albania under communist dictator Enver Hoxha.
There is roughly one bunker per every four Albanians. 14.7 bunkers per square mile.
Three projects. All in the same bunker-dense region of the Balkans. All requiring the stripping of protected status. All involving land with documented Cold War military underground infrastructure.

6/
Every single deal follows the same script.
Find land with strategic military history and underground infrastructure.
Get the government to strip its protected or classified status through corruption, document fraud, or political pressure.
Move in before legal challenges can stop you.
When it collapses, blame the prosecutors and move to the next one.
The Senate Finance Committee found that foreign governments may seek partnerships with Affinity in order to gain leverage over Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Affinity has pocketed $157 million in fees from foreign clients. Saudi Arabia will have the right to renegotiate or withdraw its $2 billion in August 2026, giving them considerable leverage over Kushner at exactly the moment he is representing the United States in Middle East peace negotiations. How interesting?

The man buying bunkers in the Balkans with Saudi money is simultaneously negotiating American foreign policy with Saudi Arabia.
And Saudi Arabia can pull his entire operation in August 2026 if they don’t like how those negotiations go.

7/
He found Sazan Island on a Rothschild yacht.
He’s buying it with Saudi money.
He’s clearing the legal path through forged documents and stripped protections.
He’s doing it while serving as America’s peace envoy.
And the island still has live munitions in the ground.

A resort developer?
Or an acquisitions operation wearing a hard hat?
Three countries. Three ex-military sites. Three deals requiring document fraud or corruption to clear the legal path.
All funded by the same foreign governments he simultaneously negotiates American foreign policy with.
Again, Saudi Arabia gets to renegotiate or pull the entire $2 billion in August 2026.
Right in the middle of the Iran negotiations.
Right in the middle of the Gaza negotiations.
Right when the leverage matters most.
The question isn’t what’s being built on these islands and ruins but what was already there.
And who needed it badly enough to send a Rothschild to show him where to look.

No heroes.

No halos.

End Hopium.

Oh, Larry, What Does the Oracle Have to do!

How Larry Ellison’s Oracle Took Over China

Larry Ellison, 81, is the co-founder of Oracle and is worth $270 billion. IBM built the technology that Oracle is based upon. In 1977, his fledging company won its first major contract to build a database for the Central Intelligence Agency. The project’s code name was Oracle.He organized data and learned that human behavior follows patterns and is predictable. It is worth billions.

Ellison is building the pipes that information flows through…if you’ve been to a hospital, if you’ve applied for a loan, or if you’ve used TikTok, your data has been processed by Oracle.

His model is to fuse everything known about a person into one searchable profile that is closely linked to police records. American protest data from the NATO summit in Chicago in 2012 became the training data for Chinese surveillance.

Taking Charge of Your Health

(Again, a long but enlightening article from A MIDWESTERN DOCTOR.  Just a small fragment is included here.)

Why Medicine Won’t Cure You (and What’s Finally Changing)

The predatory business model that requires lifelong patients faces its first federal challenge with Kennedy’s historic SSRI initiative

Story at a Glance:

  • No industry, organization, or cause tasked with solving a problem will actually solve it, because the problem disappearing threatens their economic livelihood or political power—a dynamic visible everywhere from non-profits which constantly seek donations but never produce results to dating apps that deliberately prevent users from finding partners and leaving the platform.
  • The pharmaceutical industry has perfected this model: drugs are designed to be taken perpetually rather than cure, side effects create demand for additional drugs, and the entire regulatory apparatus is structured to protect this status quo by suppressing affordable natural therapies like DMSO that challenge it.
  • SSRIs epitomize this dynamic—massively overprescribed, frequently life-ruining, and nearly impossible to withdraw from—yet for decades, the industry successfully kept all criticism of them out of mainstream discourse.
  • Recently, efforts to connect SSRIs to mass shootings shifted the Overton window, making SSRI injuries gradually become acceptable to discuss, culminating in Secretary Kennedy recently holding a panel where victims shared devastating testimonies of what SSRIs had done to their lives.
  • Kennedy then announced a multiagency federal effort to combat inappropriate SSRI prescribing, train providers in how to correctly taper patients off antidepressants, and provide non-pharmaceutical alternatives—marking the first time in memory a federal health initiative has aimed to help get patients off a major drug class rather than on one.
  • Conversely, those who embrace the constant challenge of actually solving problems rather than managing them—in medicine and elsewhere—consistently find it is the most fulfilling way to practice, which is why Kennedy’s approach of giving physicians a supportive framework to break from the status quo holds so much promise.

When I was in high school, I observed a few discouraging events which led me to postulate: “no industry, organization or cause tasked with solving a problem will actually solve it because the problem disappearing threatens their economic livelihood or political power.” Since that time, I have observed more examples than I can count in so many different spheres that I’ve accepted this dynamic is a common feature of society, and likewise, have come across many similar observations by others, my favorite of which was:

Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program—Milton Friedman

Recently two noteworthy examples of this principle came to my attention.

First, a frustrated patient shared with me they’d recently learned all of the online dating apps had switched from formats which allowed people to find suitable long term partners (e.g., with lengthy compatibility surveys) to ones which prevented people from matching because if someone found a good match on a platform, they would then stop paying more money for the service, whereas if they were hooked on it and spending hours each day trying to find someone, they would be a sustainable source of revenue. More remarkably, once one company figured out this approach made more money, they bought out all of their competitors (sometimes with threats of spurious lawsuits) and shifted them all over to this predatory model as well (all of which is detailed in these six articles1,2,3,4,5,6). I found this example noteworthy as:

  • One of the greatest sources of distress I find in patients (particularly now) are relationship challenges, particularly a lack of one, and I believe much of this traces back to apps taking over courtship.
  • Beyond the personal cost this dynamic creates, one of the largest challenges most developed countries are facing is a low birthrate which is primarily due to low marriage rates. My belief, in turn, is that many of the heavily contested policies we are seeing (e.g., reducing social support for the elderly, mass migration, or replacing workers with robots or AI) ultimately are due to the fact policy makers believe the declining birthrate means it will not be viable for the younger generation to support the society (particularly the elderly) so alternatives need to be found regardless of how objectionable they are.
  • A common cycle predatory industries in America follow is presenting a “superior” way to meet an essential need of humanity that replaces the traditional one that’s worked, then once the old one is completely displaced, tightening the screws with the new one (to milk as much out of the population as possible) until things are far worse than what preceded it and massive social cost is accrued (e.g., the Rockefellers did this in various ways with food, energy, and medicine).

Note: because online dating has now become so bad, the companies that monopolized the market are starting to lose a lot of users and money, signaling there may be a chance for this cycle to reset itself.

Second, a federal DOJ indictment recently charged the SPLC (one of the country’s leading civil rights groups that built its reputation fighting hate) with wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering. Prosecutors alleged it paid over $3 million in donor funds to informants embedded in white supremacist groups (including the KKK and National Alliance) while soliciting donations to “end hate,” and that one paid informant participated in planning chats, attended, and helped with logistics for the 2017 Charlottesville Unite the Right rally. Many, in turn, were outraged about this, in part because of how much political capital was extracted from the event (e.g., Biden made opposing it a central justification for his 2020 presidential campaign and Harris to a lesser extent did so as well in 2024) but also because of just how much money it made:

Unfortunately, these are far from isolated examples, and it would be impossible for me to cover even a sliver of them here. As such, this article will focus on how this principle applies to medicine and why I believe beyond greed, complacency also plays a central role in the continual recurrence of this dynamic across societies.

Is Money The Root Of All Evil?

The origins of our faith and devotion to money have raised many questions throughout the ages. The love of money, in turn, has long been recognized as one of the most powerful forces for twisting human hearts towards evil (which often results in immense destruction to the people or the environment), while simultaneously, its value is often completely arbitrary—money gets printed and then assumes value because everyone holds a collective faith in it the ruling class controls us through. At the same time, money is a remarkable force for both developing and organizing society, and many of the things we depend upon are only available to us because of the economic system we live within.

When the question of money is looked at, it is often seen through a lens of greed being a deadly sin. However, I would argue the core issue is that for many people, effectively accumulating money becomes the foundational axiom (guiding principle) used to navigate life, causing them to rationalize a variety of unethical positions (they often lie about) to make money, because their internal algorithm will frequently default to the choice that acquires more money. Recognizing this, in turn, provides an invaluable tool for understanding the world around you, as the motivations of others often become far clearer once you cut through all their rhetoric and view things strictly through what they stand to profit from.

Algorithms of Business

In the same way that a default behavior to seek the most profitable choice helps to explain many of the individual actions we observe around us, businesses also follow a relatively predictable set of behaviors aimed at optimizing profit, which you can see in a wide range of industries.

In general, most large businesses aim for the following, prioritizing whichever are most feasible:

  • Continual growth
  • High markups on their product
  • The widest possible market
  • Market exclusivity (to protect and maximize sales)
  • Repeating sales far into the future

The main problem with this framework, which society largely applauds and equates with success, is that businesses routinely prioritize profit, even when it conflicts with the interests of customers or society. Because of this, we frequently see:

  • Artificial “needs” being created through marketing, making unnecessary products seem essential.
  • Harmful products (environmentally damaging or toxic to humans) being aggressively marketed and kept on the market despite the damage.
  • Extreme markups on essential products, pushing dependent customers closer to poverty.
  • Monopolies and exclusivity tactics used to block competing (and often better) solutions from entering the market.
  • Products deliberately designed for repeat purchases rather than full solutions, such as planned obsolescence or proprietary consumables (e.g., Gillette’s classic “razor-and-blades” sales model, and its modern equivalents like Amazon’s sinus irrigator that only works with its expensive proprietary pods that you quickly run out of).

The pharmaceutical industry, not surprisingly, excels in all of these, which helps to explain why they have managed to sustain steady growth for decades, and why one-fifth of all money spent in the United States goes to healthcare despite our country receiving very poor returns on that investment.

Note: annual adult vaccines (which frequently do nothing. particularly because they are often for the wrong strain) are an excellent example of an unsafe, unproven and ineffective product that is pushed on everyone because it fulfills the need for perpetually recurring sales.
