Leaked MAHA Strategy Falls Short, Earns D+ from Farm Action

Washington, D.C. — Angela Huffman, President of Farm Action, issued the following statement in response to the leaked draft of the Make America Healthy Again strategy report:

The leaked draft of the Make America Healthy Again strategy earns a D+ from Farm Action. It recognizes some of the right priorities and even overlaps with our recommendations in places, but the execution is timid and avoids the structural reforms needed to truly deliver on the MAHA Commission’s own diagnosis of the problem.

The Commission’s April assessment called out systemic issues like corporate capture and consolidation in the food system, chemical contamination in agriculture, and federal programs like crop insurance that drive production of commodity crops over healthy foods.

But between April and August, the White House met with powerful lobbyists, and the influence shows. The draft avoids antitrust action on monopoly power in food production, processing, and retail. While it nods to soil health, it punts on pesticide dependence—offering only “precision application” and reassurances to lobbyists instead of a real transition plan. It also leaves crop insurance and subsidy distortions untouched, keeping fruit and vegetable growers at a disadvantage. Overall, it’s a far cry from the bold promises of structural reform made on the campaign trail.

The draft is not without positives, like easing barriers for CSAs and direct-to-consumer sales, improving farm-to-school grants, supporting small meat processors and mobile units, and expanding voluntary soil health programs—the kind of steps Farm Action recommended to the Commission. But these scattered measures are thin on detail and overshadowed by the reluctance to take on reforms at the scale of the problem.

We’ll be watching for the final version from the White House. As the only farm group to have publicly endorsed RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary, we expect the final strategy to deliver on the promises made to farmers and rural America.

###

Farm Action is a nonpartisan agricultural watchdog organization led by farmers. We advocate for accountability from both our government and large corporations within the agricultural sector. We envision a fair, sustainable, and healthy food system that empowers farmers, workers, and rural communities to feed America.

The New Mask of Technocracy

Technocracy is NOT Communitarianism

Let’s settle this once and for all…

PATRICK WOOD
AUG 18, 2025

There has been a noticeable shift in narrative over what is going on in Washington, DC. I say Technocracy. Others used to say Communism, socialism or fascism. Now it’s being called Communitarianism.

The uptake on this word to mask Technocracy is stunning. It’s unprecedented. It might be that you are getting a taste of “The Science of Social Engineering”, Technocracy’s favorite definition of them themselves from the 1930s.

When Technocrats want to shield their technocratic polices, they intentionally do so in the language of Communitarianism.

Example #1: Smart Cities

Technocratic Policy: Urban planners, relying on data analytics and technical expertise, design “Smart City” infrastructure—deploying sensors, AI, and algorithms to manage traffic, resources, and public services. Core decisions, like placement of surveillance, adoption of digital IDs, or algorithmic resource allocation, are made by unelected and unaccountable technical experts and private sector consultants with little direct citizen input.

Communitarian Framing: Policymakers frequently describe these initiatives as advancing “inclusive urban communities,” “empowering local groups,” and “building public trust through collective digital transformation.” The emphasis is on “community-driven sustainability,” “shared public spaces,” and “strengthening community ties”—even as the actual governance, surveillance, and decision-making remain centralized in expert hands.

Example #2: Public Health Policy

Technocratic Policy: National public health agencies, guided by epidemiologists and technocratic advisory boards, roll out mandatory vaccination campaigns and digital health credentials. The implementation relies on technical modeling, centralized data management, and scientific expertise, often minimizing open deliberation or individualized consent.

Communitarian Framing: The rollout is explained using phrases such as “protecting our communities,” “collective responsibility for health,” and “building resilient neighborhoods together.” Authorities stress “we’re all in this together,” “community solidarity,” and “shared sacrifice for collective safety”—presenting programs as communal responses to crisis when the driving mechanism is expert rule and data-driven mandates.

In both examples, the language of communitarianism (“collective good,” “community empowerment,” “shared values”) is leveraged as public messaging, even as the substance of the policies is totally technocratic, with centralized, expert-directed authority.

So What Is Communitarianism?

If you ever read Walden Two by B.F. Skinner, you know everything about communitarianism that you need to know. (The story ended horribly.)

Communitarianism is a political and social philosophy that places primary emphasis on the importance of community, the common good, and social relationships in shaping individual identity, values, and moral judgments. It asserts that people’s identities are molded by their social environment and community ties rather than by strict individualism. Forget about individuality, your personhood, even your soul. Communitarianism sees community as an end in itself.

Right-Think Takes Care of Free Speech

Technocratic elites or their supporters deliberately frame current governance realities as “communitarian” in order to deflect criticism, obscure their own authority, or create ideological cover for technocratic rule.

You should know from my years of critical analysis of Technocracy that Technocrats don’t give a whoop about consensus, the common good or social cohesion. They are throwing up a smokescreen to confuse you, and are using AI to do it with “right think”: that is, DARPA’s idea of Theory of Mind.

Theory of Mind AI refers to systems that can infer human intentions, emotions, and likely responses by analyzing behavior and context. DARPA’s program aims to simulate, predict, and influence decision-making by modeling individual and collective psychologies—originally intended for national security and adversary prediction, but already applied to civilian contexts.

Patrick Wood’s Technocracy News: The Quickening Report is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, systems based on these principles were used for real-time sentiment analysis and targeted messaging to adjust public attitudes, encourage compliance, and foster community-oriented behaviors. This created feedback loops, guiding both policy and public reaction by tweaking narratives and interventions for maximum “collective good”—core communitarian ideals.

By the way, Palantir (Peter Thiel, co-founder) is a master of these tactics on the battlefield and in civilian life.

Conclusion

Technocracy is NOT Communitarianism.

If you have this word embedded in your vocabulary to explain what is going on in Washington, DC, your mind has been hacked. Ditch the word “Communitarianism.”

Call it by its real name – TECHNOCRACY.

The New Klaus Schwab

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Appointed to Lead the World Economic Forum

August 20, 2025 Jon Bowne 5

Reuters reported that last week, the World Economic Forum (WEF) closed an investigation on its founder Klaus Schwab, 87, clearing him of any wrongdoing after a whistleblower alleged the Schwab family mixed their personal affairs with the forum’s resources without proper oversight. Schwab filed a criminal complaint and separate legal action against the whistleblowers; he intends to drop the cases.

WEF appointed BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and Roche Holding’s vice-chair Andre Hoffmann as interim co-chairs of its board. They said that they look forward to reinventing and strengthening the organization.

Jon Bowne reported that BlackRock controls $10 trillion in assets and has stakes in 14,000 companies worldwide. RFK Jr. said that BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street own each other and that they own 89% of the S&P 500. He said that BlackRock is set to own 60% of all US single family homes in the US by 2030.

Fink is expected to turbo-charged push for digital assets, ESG policies, and global governance that threatens national sovereignty. BlackRock manages the largest Bitcoin and Etherium ETFs, valued at nearly $95 billion. Crypto is a tool for surveillance and control.

2 Doctors Sue CDC for Pushing Illegal 72-Dose Childhood Vaccine Schedule Without Safety Testing

August 20, 2025 Dr. Stoller and Public Health Policy Journal 4

Dr. Paul Thomas, Dr. Kenneth P. Stoller, and Stand for Health Freedom filed a lawsuit accusing the CDC of recommending 72+ vaccine doses for American children without ever testing the cumulative schedule for safety. They seek to shift childhood vaccines that are virtually mandatory to shared decision-making with the parents, which would make medical exemptions far easier to obtain, rigorous safety studies, and protection for physicians who issue exemptions based on individualized medical judgment.

.

First reported by The Defender, a new federal lawsuit is challenging the CDC’s entire childhood vaccine program.

Filed by Dr. Paul Thomas, Dr. Kenneth P. Stoller, and Stand for Health Freedom, the lawsuit accuses the CDC of recommending 72+ vaccine doses for American children without ever testing the cumulative schedule for safety.

Both doctors previously paid a heavy price for questioning the hyper-vaccination program:

      • Dr. Thomas had his license suspended five days after publishing a vaccinated vs. unvaccinated study.
      • Dr. Stoller lost his license for granting exemptions based on genetic vulnerabilities.

What the Lawsuit Alleges

      • No safety testing: Neither the CDC nor FDA has ever studied the long-term, combined effects of the full childhood schedule — despite two decades of warnings from the Institute of Medicine (2002, 2013).
      • 27 years of silence: By law, HHS must file biennial reports to Congress on vaccine safety efforts. Not a single report has been issued since 1998.
      • Constitutional violations: The suit charges the CDC with violating the First Amendment (silencing dissenting doctors), the Fifth Amendment (due process & bodily integrity), and the Administrative Procedure Act (arbitrary and capricious rulemaking).

What Plaintiffs Seek

  • Reclassify all childhood vaccines to Category B — shifting to shared decision-making, which would make medical exemptions far easier to obtain.
  • Require rigorous safety studies comparing fully vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children before any return to a mandated schedule.
  • End retaliation against doctors — protecting physicians who issue exemptions based on individualized medical judgment.

If successful, this lawsuit wouldn’t just expose the unlawful CDC hyper-vaccination program — it would mark a major victory for families seeking vaccine exemptions and for physicians fighting to practice real individualized medicine.

Medical Murder in Canada

Euthanasia taking over Canada—the doctors are doing just fine; the patients are all dead

Jon Rappoport's avatar
JON RAPPOPORT
AUG 22, 2025

Here are two chilling snippets from a recent Atlantic article:

“MAID [Medical Assistance in Dying] now accounts for about one in 20 deaths in Canada…”

And if that’s not enough:

“In two years, MAID will be made available to those suffering only from mental illness. Parliament has also recommended granting access to minors.”

This is depopulation right out in the open. No frills. The doctors are on the job. No need for elaborate deceptions or cover stories.

I have a question about the upcoming medical killings of people with mental illnesses. Since no mental illness has a defining physical test and all the disorder labels are therefore fake…how much does the fake diagnosis play into the patient’s decision to die?

And even more important, are mental patients who are telling the doctors to kill them making that decision while they’re on the brain-scrambling psychiatric drugs?

Of course they are.

So that would be drug-enforced medical murder, right?

One statistic you won’t see coming out of Canada: how many doctors are nudging or urging or pushing their patients to say they want to die?

I mean, what’s easier for a doctor? Treating a patient for a year with no results, and listening to him endlessly complain, or just killing him and walking away?

Euthanasia has to be the easiest medical specialty in the book. You just inject the patient and he’s dead. You could train a monkey to handle it.

In a few years, it looks like the government will introduce children to medical murder. On Monday, the child wants to be an astronaut, on Tuesday he wants to be a fireman, on Wednesday he wants to die…so the doctor grants his wish while saying patient autonomy is the number one priority.

How many kids, after undergoing body-shredding transgender treatments, will decide death is better?

Obviously, doctors injecting death is in part a clean-up operation. It handles and gets rid of all the patients other medical treatments grievously wounded and maimed. Boom. Gone. Nobody left who wants to sue.

Here’s a clue about the future nobody is mentioning:

the rest is behind a paywall, but it comes from:  https://jonrappoport.substack.com/p/euthanasia-taking-over-canada?publication_id=806546&post_id=171643368&isFreemail=true&r=19iztd&triedRedirect=true&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

Fermented Stevia Extract Kills Pancreatic Cancer Cells In Lab Tests

BY TYLER DURDEN
SATURDAY, AUG 09, 2025 – 06:00 PM

Authored by George Citroner via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

Hiroshima University researchers have found that fermented stevia extract may fight pancreatic cancer without harming healthy cells—potentially making it more than just a zero-calorie sugar substitute.

Pancreatic cancer shows significant resistance to existing treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.

“Globally, the incidence and mortality rates of pancreatic cancer continue to rise, with a five-year survival rate of less than 10 percent,” study coauthor Narandalai Danshiitsoodol, associate professor at Hiroshima University, said in a press statement.

There’s a growing need to find new, effective cancer-fighting compounds—especially those that come from medicinal plants, said Danshiitsoodol.

Fermentation Unlocks Cancer-Fighting Power

The study, recently published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, found that when stevia is fermented with a probiotic, the resulting extract kills pancreatic cancer cells while sparing healthy kidney cells. The fermented extract inhibited cancer growth but did not harm normal cells.

The research team fermented stevia leaf extract using the probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum SN13T, a beneficial bacterium commonly found in fermented foods like sauerkraut, pickles, and kimchi. The researchers noted that fermenting the extract with bacteria can change its structure and produce beneficial compounds called bioactive metabolites.

“To enhance the pharmacological efficacy of natural plant extracts, microbial biotransformation has emerged as an effective strategy,” Masanori Sugiyama, a professor of microbiology and biotechnology and coauthor of the study, said in a press statement.

Sugiyama’s lab has studied more than 1,200 strains of bacteria from fruits, vegetables, flowers, and medicinal plants, evaluating their health benefits.

The results showed that the fermented stevia leaf extract (FSLE) was more effective at killing cancer cells than the nonfermented version.

Sugiyama said that FSLE was also less harmful to the HEK-293 cells, which are human kidney cells used in the study. Even at the highest dose tested, FSLE caused minimal damage to these cells.

This is important because conventional chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, can damage the kidneys—especially the left one, which is adjacent to the pancreas.

Key Anticancer Agent Identified

Further analysis identified a compound called chlorogenic acid methyl ester (CAME) as the key anticancer agent. Fermentation reduced the amount of chlorogenic acid—a precursor to CAME—in the extract by sixfold, a change caused by bacterial enzymes, according to Danshiitsoodol.

“This microbial transformation was likely due to specific enzymes in the bacteria strain used,” she said.

CAME was found to stop cancer cells from multiplying, trigger them to self-destruct, and change the expression of key genes so that cells are more likely to die.

The experiments were conducted on cancer cells grown in laboratory dishes—not in living organisms. The researchers plan to conduct tests in mice to better understand how different doses of the fermented extract affect the entire body.

They emphasized that their results help explain how probiotic bacteria can boost the anticancer effects of herbal medicines. Danshiitsoodol noted that the study significantly advances understanding of how the Lactobacillus plantarum SN13T strain works in fermenting herbal extracts, and it also offers insight into using probiotics as natural antitumor agents.

Stevia Safety and Benefits

Dr. Joseph Mercola, a board-certified family medicine physician not involved in the study, called the research “a powerful reminder” that plants like stevia offer more than just sweetness—they may deliver compounds that support long-term health.

Mercola noted that stevia extract is a “far healthier” alternative to artificial sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, or saccharin. “Unlike synthetic options that can disrupt gut bacteria or trigger metabolic changes, pure stevia extract—which has a glycemic index close to zero—has minimal to no impact on your blood sugar or insulin,” he added.

However, he cautioned that sweeteners blended with stevia—such as those containing dextrose or maltodextrin—can raise blood sugar if taken in large amounts.

Hey, San Diego – What’s In Your Trash? (And Who wants to Know?)

SAN DIEGO TRASH “SCAM” SURVEILLANCE!!

… and guess who’s going to foot the exorbitant bill!

RFID Chips in San Diego Trash Cans

We’re closing out the week with a topic that—while not exactly lighthearted—is one of those strange, head-scratching headlines that makes you wonder, “Is this real life?”

And yes, friends, it is.

Thank you to one of my lovely Healthy Americans, Eleanor, who alerted me to this trash scam surveillance scheme that’s rolling out right now in San Diego. It’s bizarre. It’s invasive. And it’s expensive.

Elenor is a San Diego resident who reached out to me after confronting her city councilman about this very issue—and being laughed at. She’s undaunted, and is organizing, speaking up, and rallying others to push back against this overreaching surveillance plan.

Here’s her email, shared with her permission:

Hello Peggy,

Firstly, I’d like to thank you for all the truth that you put out. There are many times that I’ve listened to you and in my mind composed an email responding, but I never actually did it. I did reach out to you when we were trying to get our medical freedom initiative onto the ballot. After that I decided I was going to have a rest and not try to fight everyone’s battles. However, I am picking up the sword again and opposing the new RFID trash cans and exorbitant, fraudulent tax that the city councils imposed on the residents. I think many people are unaware of the nefarious reasons for the RFID chips. I would like to rally the people of San Diego to come together and oppose this agenda, but I need to get the word out. I have several ideas about what we can do including dumping our trash outside the city council building, and disabling the chips. There is definitely power in numbers, and we need that power now. I am asking for your help in getting the word out and have people contact me at this email address. I really appreciate your help. Thank you and prayers to you and your family for continually putting out the truth!

Apparently, the City of San Diego is rolling out a fee-based trash pickup system—and with it, brand new bins equipped with RFID chips. These Radio Frequency Identification tags are embedded into your trash and recycling bins, and they’re designed to track the time, location, and frequency of your trash pickups.

Yes. Your trash is now being surveilled.

Friends, why does the government need to know how often you take out the trash What happens with that data?

What’s next? Fines for too much garbage or improper recycling?

How Much Is This Going to Cost You?

“the rollout comes as San Diego officials set out to charge single-family homeowners a special fee for trash collection. Earlier proposals set the monthly fee as high as $53. Following public backlash over the price, the city recently revised the proposed rate to $47.59 per month for full-service customers. The fee would increase gradually, reaching $59.42 by July 2027 under the revised proposal. Smaller bin users would pay less” Voice of San Diego reports.

Most residents are already paying city taxes and property taxes, which in the City of San Diego, already covered things like trash pickup.

This is a brand new tax, dressed up as a “service fee,” tied directly to a tech-enabled tracking system.

The Surveillance

The chips don’t collect “live” data (yet), but they do transmit a unique identifier to RFID readers on the garbage trucks. This logs the exact time and place your trash was collected and stores it in a city database.

Why??

The city claims it helps track pickup schedules and bin assignments, but think about the potential uses of this down the road. According to Eleanor, the data collected could be used to:

  • Build a profile of your consumer behavior (what you throw away and how often)
  • Monitor recycling compliance
  • Penalize you for excess waste
  • Feed information into private databases for advertising, analytics, or insurance

Here is exactly what Eleanor (and others) are concerned about with these RFID chips:
– RFID tags in trash bins track RFID tags in trash bins.
– What you throw away, how often you throw it, and how much waste you produce.
– By monitoring waste, authorities and private contractors can build a profile of your consumer behavior, diet, economic class, and compliance with recycling rules.

– This will give them information about you. With this date they can issue automatic fines for not recycling “correctly” and penalize you for producing “excess” waste. Currently they are not admitting to this because the first step is to normalize the chips and have people accept them.

-They will shame those who don’t meet waste targets. It shifts waste disposal from a public service to a compliance metric
-It’s not about cleaning the earth — it’s about disciplining its inhabitants.
-RFID-enabled bins are part of the smart grid. Eventually this will lead to other hikes regarding other utility services. Your trash becomes your confession booth.

-Many cities contract private waste firms that:
Sell the data collected from bins
Use it for targeted advertising, consumer analytics, or insurance scoring
Push subscription-based waste plans (like internet packages)

-You’re not just throwing things away — you’re feeding a data economy.
-Constant monitoring of trash habits trains people to:
Self-police
Accept that even waste must be justified
Internalize that every action is under watch
This normalizes the idea that nothing is private, not even your garbage — a soft form of techno-totalitarianism hidden behind eco-rhetoric.
– RFID in trash bins is not about sustainability — it’s about subtle submission.
– When even your garbage is tracked, you’re being told:
There is no part of your life we won’t measure.

– Other problems that I can see arising are people throwing their trash in neighbors bins, drug paraphernalia being dumped in bins and homeowners being investigated, people policing each other, and a myriad of other problems once this has been accepted and the screws tightened. Also, research the organizations behind the waste management company that the city has contracted with.

Sadly there are many people who don’t see the ramifications of this.Other people are complaining, but are unwilling to take action, and yet others give their power away to corrupt politicians.

Eleanor’s email highlighted so many important concerns about how these RFID-enabled bins are part of the smart grid—which means you’re feeding the data economy. She also astutely pointed out that this is a classic case of incrementalism—the county isn’t openly admitting the full scope of the plan, because the first step is simply to normalize the chips and get people to accept them without question.

And this normalizes the idea that nothing is private, not even your garbage.

Even if you don’t live in San Diego, I urge you to check what’s going on in your city.

These policies often start in “pilot cities” like San Diego, Seattle, and New York, and then slowly spread. It’s called incrementalism: normalize one little intrusion, wait until the outrage dies down, and then roll out the next one.

What You Can Do

  1. If you’re in San Diego:
    • Contact your city council members.
    • Show up to the City Council meeting in September with Eleanor. Please email me (support@thehealthyamerican.org) and i’ll put you in touch with her.
  2. If you’re outside of San Diego:
    • Share this article (or video) with friends or family who live there.
    • Watch for similar initiatives in your own town and start these conversations with your city council.

US Green Beret Veteran Details Israel’s War Crimes and the US-Funded Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)

August 11, 2025 Tucker Carlson and Greanville Post 8

Tucker Carlson recently interviewed retired Green Beret Lt. Col. Tony Aguilar, a West Point graduate who worked as a contractor distributing aid for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) in May and June of this year. Aguilar described the chaotic, cruel process for feeding the captive Palestinian population that limits distribution to only four centers, excluding many starving people. In addition, the distribution centers are near active Israeli combat zones and the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) fires on the desperate Palestinians routinely.

 

According to Wikipedia, since May 27, 2025, amid the famine in Gaza caused by the Israeli blockade, more than 1,373 Palestinian civilians seeking aid have been killed and thousands more have been wounded in the Gaza Strip when being fired upon by the Israel Defense Forces, armed gangs, and contractors hired by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

Aguilar exposed the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation as an opaque organization led by individuals with little to no humanitarian expertise, including a Christian Zionist leader with political ambitions. The foundation’s refusal to disclose funding sources, operational details, or allow independent inspections raises serious concerns over the misuse of funds and efficacy. The departure of key personnel citing unethical practices further signals systemic dysfunction and corruption, undermining the legitimacy of the aid mission.

.

 

Full interview:

Summary by the Greanville Post:

Colonel Aguilar, a retired U.S. Army Green Beret with 25 years of combat experience and multiple deployments, recently worked with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) from May to June 2025 to help distribute humanitarian aid in Gaza. (GHF is a business!) His firsthand experience reveals a grim and harrowing reality of the Gaza Strip, describing it as a post-apocalyptic war zone devastated by relentless violence and severe deprivation. Aguilar highlights the failure and mismanagement of the current humanitarian aid system in Gaza, which replaced the United Nations’ aid delivery after a blockade shut off the enclave. The GHF operates only four aid distribution sites, all located dangerously close to active Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) combat zones, far from the majority of Gaza’s population concentrated in the north and central areas.

Aguilar exposes systemic issues including inadequate aid delivery, starvation, and the dehumanizing treatment of Palestinian civilians by the IDF, which includes shooting at unarmed crowds to control them during aid distributions. He provides a poignant account of a young boy named Amir, who was emaciated and killed by IDF gunfire after attempting to get food. Aguilar accuses the GHF leadership, particularly its director Johnny Moore, of lacking transparency, humanitarian expertise, and accountability. He warns that the foundation’s operation exacerbates suffering and starvation, while U.S. taxpayers unknowingly fund an ineffective and potentially criminal system.

Throughout the interview, Aguilar condemns violations of international humanitarian laws and Geneva Conventions by both the IDF and the aid distribution mechanisms. He stresses the moral and legal obligation of the United States to cease funding GHF, reinstate the UN aid system, and demand accountability. Aguilar also appeals to Israel and the IDF to uphold human dignity despite the trauma caused by Hamas attacks, emphasizing that dehumanizing the civilian population violates both law and shared human values. His testimony serves as a call to action for greater transparency, ethical leadership, and compliance with international law in the delivery of aid and conduct of warfare in Gaza.

Col Aguilar Highlights

Key Insights

Credibility through Combat Experience: Aguilar’s 25 years in the U.S. Army, including deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and other conflict zones, lend significant credibility to his observations in Gaza. His ability to interpret chaotic combat environments provides a rare, expert perspective on the humanitarian crisis, distinguishing his testimony from politically motivated narratives. This background allows him to identify violations of the laws of armed conflict with precision and authority.

Gaza’s Devastation Exceeds Other War Zones: Aguilar compares Gaza’s destruction to a post-apocalyptic scene, surpassing even the ravaged landscapes he witnessed in Iraq and Afghanistan. This highlights the unprecedented scale of violence and infrastructure collapse, which complicates the delivery of humanitarian aid and exacerbates civilian suffering. The physical devastation is not just collateral damage but reflects a systematic and severe assault on civilian life and dignity.

Inadequate and Misplaced Aid Distribution: The GHF’s operation of only four aid sites — three clustered in the southern Gaza combat zones and one in central Gaza near Israeli tanks — is grossly insufficient. Before the blockade, there were 400 aid sites serving the population. This drastic reduction means the majority of Gaza’s population, especially in the north, remains isolated and starving. This tactical misplacement of aid centers within active combat zones not only endangers civilians but violates international humanitarian principles that protect aid distribution from military use and proximity to fighting.

Indiscriminate Use of Force by IDF Against Civilians: The IDF’s use of machine guns, mortars, tank rounds, and shooting at the feet or over the heads of civilians to control crowds at aid sites constitutes excessive and indiscriminate force. The chaotic scenes Aguilar describes — thousands of starving civilians walking up to 12 kilometers to reach aid, then being shot at during distribution — illustrate a fundamental disregard for civilian protection under the Geneva Conventions. This behavior results in preventable civilian casualties and reflects a breakdown of discipline and leadership within IDF reserve forces.

Human Cost Personified by Amir’s Story: The story of Amir, a young boy emaciated and killed after seeking food at a distribution site, personalizes the broader humanitarian crisis. Aguilar’s direct interaction with Amir — including the boy’s gesture of respect and his ultimate death — underscores the human tragedy behind the statistics. This narrative challenges political denials and propaganda, emphasizing the tangible consequences of military and aid distribution failures on innocent civilians, especially children.

Manufactured Tick Allergies — To MEAT!!!!!

Scientists Push Plan to Spread Fatal Meat Allergy Among Public to ‘Fight Climate Change’

Frank Bergman

August 12, 2025 – 12:22 pm

Scientists from Western Michigan University are pushing a plan to supposedly “fight climate change” that involves deliberately spreading a dangerous tick-borne disease that can trigger a lifelong fatal allergy to red meat.

As part of a plan to ensure that the United States complies with the globalist “Net Zero” agenda, the scientists argue that the public must be prevented from eating meat to dramatically reduce America’s cattle numbers.

They argue that cattle for the meat industry are causing “global warming” and must be eliminated.

To forcibly block the American people from eating meat, they propose using ticks to spread a disease among the public, which means people will die if they consume it.

The shocking academic paper outlining the plan was published in the peer-reviewed journal Bioethics.

The paper was authored by Western Michigan University medical ethics professors Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth.

Crutchfield and Hereth claim it may be “morally obligatory” to proliferate the lone star tick across the United States.

The bite of this tick can inject a sugar molecule called alpha-gal into the human body, triggering Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS).

AGS is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that can cause allergic reactions to beef, pork, lamb, dairy products, gelatin, and even certain medications.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), AGS has affected nearly 450,000 Americans between 2010 and 2022.

Cases have been rising as the lone star tick’s habitat expands northward.

Symptoms can include hives, stomach pain, dangerously low blood pressure, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis — a potentially fatal allergic reaction.

There have been at least 10 documented deaths linked to alpha-gal reactions from medical products such as the cancer drug cetuximab and the widely used blood thinner heparin.

Despite the seriousness of the condition and the fact that there is no cure or vaccine, the authors argue that spreading AGS could be considered a “moral bioenhancer.”

They claim it will “save the planet” from “global boiling” because it would reduce meat consumption and thus help achieve “Net Zero” climate goals.

“If we are right, then today we have the obligation to research and develop the capacity to proliferate tickborne AGS and, tomorrow, carry out that proliferation,” the paper states.

The proposal openly suggests using genetic engineering to increase the tick’s disease-spreading potential.

Once bitten, victims could develop an allergy not only to meat and dairy but also to foods containing carrageenan, a seaweed-derived thickener, and a variety of processed goods and medicines.

This could severely limit dietary freedom and access to certain treatments.

Critics warn that the idea amounts to weaponizing a public health threat against the population under the guise of environmental responsibility.

The lone star tick is already on the rise in the U.S., with its range expanding from the Southeast and Midwest into states like New York and Pennsylvania.

The CDC currently advises preventing bites through repellents and protective clothing, not encouraging tick proliferation.

While the authors frame their proposal as an ethical duty, opponents see it as an alarming example of how “climate change” policy can be used to justify extreme measures that risk human health and personal freedom.

If such ideas gain traction in policymaking circles, it could mark a dangerous step toward using environmental goals as a pretext for controlling the food supply.
