Trump Directs USDA to Prioritize Domestic Glyphosate, Phosphorus Production

USDA research facility Maryland
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's research center in Beltsville, Maryland.
Invoking the Defense Production Act, President Donald Trump on Wednesday designated glyphosate-based herbicides and elemental phosphorus as critical to national defense and ordered Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to prioritize and secure domestic supplies.

The order also grants legal immunity to domestic producers that comply with federal directives and gives USDA authority to direct production and control distribution if necessary.

Citing the Defense Production Act, Trump declared phosphorus and glyphosate products are essential not only for agriculture but also for military readiness. The threat of scarcity for either phosphorus or glyphosate would leave the U.S. vulnerable.

The designation also allows the president to direct the production of both products and control the distribution of them.

Comment: Try to avoid eating GMO foods and foods treated with glyphosate-based herbicides.

The Atlantic Busted Fabricating Dead Kid Measles Story

Atlantic measles fraud story
Last Thursday, The Atlantic published a heart-wrenching story about an 11-month-old child who died of measles. Written in the second person from the perspective of a mother whose two unvaccinated children fell ill with the disease, the story is rich with personal detail;

"You plant her on the couch with a blanket and put Bluey on the TV while she drifts in and out of sleep..."

"While the kids are napping, you tap a list of your daughter's symptoms into Google and find a slew of diseases that more or less match up..."

"Her cough wracks her whole body, rounding her delicate bird shoulders. She does not sleep well. And as you lift up her pajama top to check her rash one morning, you see that her breathing is labored, shadows pooling between her ribs when she sucks in air."

Turns out, NONE OF THAT HAPPENED. The Atlantic's Elizabeth Bruenig simply made it up, leading to mass confusion.

Comment: The Atlantic is also known for warmongering and having difficulty discerning fiction from reality.

MMR and MMRV Vaccines Linked to 2,657% More U.S. Deaths Than Measles Infection Since 1995

measles vaccine mortality
For decades, Americans have been told that measles represents a grave and ongoing threat — and that MMR vaccination is one of the safest and most effective interventions in modern medicine. Pharma-captured mass media and public health agencies have centered almost exclusively on the minimal dangers of measles infection and ignored grieving parents whose children were injured or even killed by the shots. No proper attention has been paid to signals emerging within the federal government's own vaccine safety database.

Now, our new McCullough Foundation study titled "Deaths Following MMR and MMRV Vaccination in the United States," authored by Kirstin Cosgrove, Breanne Craven, Claire Rogers, John A. Catanzaro, Albert Benevides, M. Nathaniel Mead, Mila Radetich, Peter A. McCullough, and Nicolas Hulscher (myself), takes a comprehensive look at reported fatal outcomes following MMR and MMRV vaccination in the United States, doing the work that our public health agencies should have done many years ago.

After analyzing VAERS data through August 29, 2025, we identified a serious mortality safety signal following MMR/MMRV vaccination in the United States. What we observed was not a diffuse or randomly scattered pattern across age groups and time intervals. Instead, we found an alarming number of deaths among infants and toddlers within days of receiving MMR/MMRV vaccines, sharply clustered in the routine first-dose window.

Comment: In addition to the above, measles outbreaks in fully vaccinated populations are well documented. See also:

Coffee tied to lower dementia risk, Harvard-MIT study finds

New research published in JAMA reveals a strong reason to feel even better about being three to four espressos deep before the cash market opens in New York.

Here's the short version of the findings:
  • Caffeinated coffee was linked to lower dementia risk. Comparing the highest vs lowest consumption groups, the study reported a hazard ratio of 0.82 (95% CI, 0.76 to 0.89), which means higher caffeinated coffee intake was associated with lower risk.
  • People also reported less subjective cognitive decline. The higher-intake group had 7.8% prevalence vs 9.5% in the lower-intake group (prevalence ratio 0.85).
  • The "sweet spot" looked moderate. The most pronounced differences showed up around 2 to 3 cups per day of caffeinated coffee.
  • Decaf did not show a significant association with dementia risk.
The long-running study, led by researchers from Mass General Brigham, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and the Broad Institute of MIT, tracked 131,821 U.S. adults for four decades and documented 11,033 dementia cases. One major finding was a very clear pattern: adults who drank about three cups of coffee per day, or one to two cups of tea, had a much lower risk of dementia and more favorable cognitive outcomes over their lifetimes. Decaf, however, did not show the same relationship.

Human "biology was never intended to handle" ultra-processed foods, former FDA head David Kessler warns

rfk ban dyes
Today, an increasing number of Americans across the political spectrum - from Make America Healthy Again activists to everyday shoppers - are voicing concern about the health impact of ultraprocessed foods - those boxed and wrapped in plastic, ready-to-eat items lining grocery store shelves.

Leading the charge are two men who disagree on pretty much everything else about public health - Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. David Kessler, the former commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The two men have found common ground over a common culprit: a 67-year-old government classification for substances in our food. It's called GRAS, or generally recognized as safe. Kennedy and Kessler say it has allowed big food companies to use ingredients without a full government safety review and flood the market with ultraprocessed foods that now make up 50% of our calories and 60% of our children's diets.

Is the Definition of Alzheimer's Being Changed to Sell Drugs?

Alzheimer's is a specific disease that causes shrinkage in the central region of the brain called the Medial Temporal Lobe. It accounts for two thirds of dementia diagnoses.

While a 'dementia' diagnosis can be made from a Cognitive Function Test alone - showing poor function - diagnosing 'Alzheimer's dementia' requires a brain scan of this central area of the brain.

This is sometimes referred to as shrinkage of the hippocampus, which is a central part of the brain that is critical for memory. This shrinkage is not a normal part of ageing. It is a disease. So Alzheimer's is diagnosed on the basis of both a loss of cognitive function and physical evidence of significant brain shrinkage.

NCI studying ivermectin's 'ability to kill cancer cells'

Ivermectin tabs

— No new evidence cited that might have prompted this move

The National Cancer Institute (NCI), the federal research agency charged with leading the war against the nation's second-largest killer, is studying ivermectin as a potential cancer treatment, according to its top official.

"There are enough reports of it, enough interest in it, that we actually did -- ivermectin, in particular -- engage in sort of a better preclinical study of its properties and its ability to kill cancer cells," said Anthony Letai, MD, PhD, who was appointed NCI director by the Trump administration in September.

Letai did not cite new evidence that might have prompted the institute to research the effectiveness of the antiparasitic drug against cancer. The drug, largely used to treat people or animals for infections caused by parasites, is a popular dewormer for horses.

"We'll probably have those results in a few months," Letai said. "So we are taking it seriously."

Comment: After the Covid debacle, purity of proof will remain suspect...no matter what, when or how.

FDA Refuses to Review Moderna's Influenza Vaccine for Potential Approval

moderna
The FDA has declined to initiate a review of Moderna's biologics license application (BLA) for its investigational influenza vaccine, mRNA-1010, issuing a Refusal-to-File (RTF) letter that hinges on trial design rather than concerns about the vaccine's safety or effectiveness.

Moderna announced that the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) determined it could not review the application because the company used a licensed standard-dose seasonal influenza vaccine as the comparator in a pivotal phase 3 efficacy study. According to the RTF letter, signed by CBER Director Vinayak Prasad, MD, MPH, the comparator did not reflect the "best-available standard of care," and therefore did not meet the requirement for an "adequate and well-controlled" study.

Comment: The FDA should keep a closer eye on these mRNA vaccines but don't count it.

Because COVID-19 was not enough: 3,625 Biolabs, Nipah Virus Patents, and Self-Amplifying mRNA Injections

Biolabs
The global expansion of high-containment biolabs without oversight — increasingly engaged in Nipah virus research — combined with aggressive patent consolidation of Nipah's core glycoproteins and their integration into mRNA and self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA) injection platforms, represents a profound and escalating global biosecurity risk.

A recent study identified 3,625 Biosafety Level-3 and Level-4 laboratories worldwide:
  • 73% do not publicly disclose their locations or pathogen activities
  • 91% of countries operating BSL-3 labs lack dual-use research oversight
  • Roughly half of global facilities are located in the United States
  • More than 300 documented lab leaks have occurred since 2001.

Comment: This is a big mistake that very well might take pathological profiteers out!

Psychedelics may rewire the brain to treat PTSD. Scientists are finally beginning to understand how

Lynette Averill
© ZUMA Press, Inc. via AlamyLynette Averill at a press event advocating for approving psychedelic drugs for therapeutic treatment of PTSD in veterans. She believes these drugs may have lifesaving potential.
For researcher Lynnette Averill, the quest to find a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is deeply personal. Averill's father served as an enlisted infantryman with the U.S. Marine Corps in Vietnam and struggled to cope with his war experiences when he returned home. After years of ineffective treatments, he died by suicide when Averill was three.

Driven by a mission to support veterans' mental health, Averill trained as a psychologist and began working with people with PTSD — a condition that affects more than 12 million Americans in any given year. Victims of violence, abuse and accidents can experience post-traumatic symptoms such as persistent flashbacks, hypervigilance, and entrenched negative beliefs about themselves and their environment.

"People can be very stuck in black-and-white thinking, such as, 'I'm a bad person,' 'I deserve this,' 'the world is dangerous," Averill, a clinical research psychologist at the Baylor College of Medicine in Texas, said during a panel discussion at the Psychedelic Science conference in Denver in June 2025.

Comment: Once again we find regulatory hurdles burdening research that do not involve the pharmaceutical industry's desire to make a profit by making us dependent on their drugs that barely keep us alive. But these hurdles seem to be slowly breaking down.
