Letter to the Editor

Bottom line, it's about the money ... how and where our government and people in power (ex: George Soros, Bill Gates, pharmaceutical industry) determine will get the best ROI (return on investment). There is not concern for "the USA people" as I was reminded in this video today which shares how families in the Florida Keys (a hurricane in 2016) were not allowed supplies unless they were on the government's FEMA approved list:

Took some time to think about this....

More information?  Yup, that's what the Captn's Lounge is all about!

Respectfully, the problem is not government per se, but the effects of dark money ON the government.  The people in the shadows--those whom cannot be named--are currently yanking the strings for, and you nailed it, money.

However, Bill Gates has all the money he could ever need and his foundation gives huge money to causes, i.e., education and eradication of disease (polio).  What info  can you can point me to that leads you to think he's one of the bad guys?

By the way, so far this exchange has led me to this guy: ArnGrimR, a writer on SubStack (ask me how the next time we talk, but he's got some pretty amazing stuff, and I found him by clicking on the link to the Jimmy Dore thing, although Dore, not one of the good guys; praised Alex Jones).  The FEMA thing, is for sure beyond troubling.  Makes me want to grab camera gear and spend a month down in Florida (hey, wait, January's coming up...hmmm)!

As to healthcare explainer shows, we're just getting de started.  But our presently bad government is more the symptom than the cause.  It's private, unaccountable dark money tweaking things from the outside. A nasty problem right now is private equity interests, which has nothing to do with insurance vs. single-payer, but only government can stop it.  And this government, apparently, won't stop it, unless and until they're forced to by We The People--and that's where we come in.  We gotta lot of work to do and a lot of information to bring.

I feel like I have to respond to your email. Here are my findings using search.

Interestingly, you should mention autism, obesity and diabetes.

Some scary statistics about autism.

Autism affects 1 in 36 children in the US.

ASD prevalence in the US has increased by 312% since 2000.

Boys are diagnosed with autism 4.2 times more often than girls.

Autism is most common among Asian and Pacific Islander children.

26.7% of autistic 8-year-olds in the US have profound autism.

Here are a couple of articles that go into this in-depth, and all three conditions are linked. I didn't know this, or it was not researched when we did the show on autism 15 years back in my KRFC days, but research has now proven that mothers who are obese (and/or have diabetes) are more likely to have an autistic child.  In mothers with obesity, autism was 51% more likely, and risk increased with extreme obesity; it was also discovered that mothers with asthma were 62% more likely to deliver an infant later diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. Nearly 28 million people in the U.S. have asthma. This equals about 1 in 12 people. Asthma rates have been going up. From 3% in 1981 to 7.7% in 2021.

So, the question here is, how do we stop obesity? And there are no easy options to accomplish this. But if it was solvable, then there is a good chance that diabetes rates would also go down.

JFK, Jr.'s book. Unfortunately, some of the "facts" he writes about have been scientifically disproven, especially regarding vaccinations.  However, as a precaution, Thimerosal was taken out of childhood vaccines in the United States in 2001. The entire vaccinations cause autism was a "theory" created by n 1998, Andrew Wakefield. Wakefield had been funded by lawyers whose parents had engaged in lawsuits against vaccine-producing companies. His research was flawed in many ways. It was discovered that two of his "case studies" who he said that vaccinations caused autism, where actually vaccinated after the diagnoses. He had a research team of 12, 10 of which later denounced how he had done the case studies. The Lancet completely retracted the Wakefield et al. paper in February 2010, admitting that several elements in the paper were incorrect, contrary to the findings of the earlier investigation. Wakefield et al. were held guilty of ethical violations (they had conducted invasive investigations on the children without obtaining the necessary ethical clearances) and scientific misrepresentation (they reported that their sampling was consecutive when, in fact, it was selective). The Wakefield fraud is likely to go down as one of the most severe frauds in medical history. Although British, he moved to the states, where he carried on peddling his misinformation, which is probably where JFK Jr. got it from.

Sadly a true story: In 2018, two infants in American Samoa died when nurses accidentally prepared the combined measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, vaccine with expired muscle relaxant rather than water. The Samoan government temporarily suspended the vaccination program, and anti-vaccine advocates — including Kennedy and his nonprofit — flooded the area with misinformation. The vaccination rate dropped to a dangerously low level. The next year, when a traveler brought measles to the islands, the disease tore through the population, sickening more than 5,700 people and killing 83, most of them young children

Moving on!  (Still reading? :) )

Here's a video of Jimmy Dore and Joe Rogan extolling the wonders of Alex Jones! What a case Alex Jones is; not one of his conspiracy theories has ever been proven to be correct, not one. In fact during COVID he was peddling so called cures for COVID, of course there really are none. After what he did with Sandyhook no one should have taken him seriously, he was in it just for the money. Which, of course, he no longer has!

So, anyone who extols the "greatness" of Alex Jones has no credence in my book at all.

And for a little bit of light reading here is all you need to know about Alex Jones

The problem with all these conspiracy theories is that they are hardly ever (if at all) proven to be correct. It's straightforward to create a conspiracy theory that sounds like it might be true to an outsider, and that's all it has to do to gather traction.
