“Medical Freedom Movement” Circular Firing Squad

And so it comes down to this. Oh, the humanity.

The self-styled “Medical Freedom Movement” is turning its guns on yet another of its heroes, HHS Secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Circular firing squads are a chronic cultural feature of Washington DC bureaucracy, giving rise to the insider aphorism “keep your head down, if they can’t see you they can’t shoot you.”

Right up there with another of my favorites from dealing with the DC inside-the-beltway crowd: “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.” Understand those two, and you are a long way down the road toward understanding DC culture.

By way of disclosure and transparency, I have personally experienced the “Medical Freedom Movement” circular firing squad attacks (including from many associated with the Childrens’ Health Defense” organization) for at least four years now. So, I have become a bit jaded and biased and refuse to associate myself with this “Movement.”

As far as I am concerned, the meta-issues are freedom in general, “Western” (US sphere of influence) government deployment of modern PsyWar, propaganda, and censorship technology against its own citizens, and the rise of a globalized centralized planning “government” structure grounded in utilitarian, neo-Malthusian, corporatist-socialist “stakeholder capitalism” logic.

J’accuse! Off with their heads!

The latest sin meriting the self-appointed “Medical Freedom Movement” firing squad seems to be the appearance of a quid pro quo. Whether or not one exists is above my pay grade. I am not one of the “Mar a Lago” caste. But I do know some who are, and they will still respond to text inquiries from me from time to time.

The apparent compromise being that it is currently politically acceptable to question the false narrative of the natural origin of SARS-CoV-2, but not acceptable to criticize the “Safe and Effective” narrative that has been constructed around the gene therapy-based “vaccine” products expressing the toxic engineered Spike protein, and absolutely not acceptable (within Trump world) to criticize the wholesale jettisoning of international regulatory, clinical development, and bioethical norms which characterized “Operation Warp Speed” (OWS).

The appearance is that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and those associated with the Trump HHS “transition” team have agreed to not nominate any candidates identified by corporate media as ‘mRNA anti-vaxxers” and to not select any candidates who have been critical of Operation Warp Speed (OWS) or the “vaccine” products produced by that Trump administration program. “Anti-vaxxers” are OK, just no anti-mRNA vax types.

Just to be clear, if there is any doubt, President-elect Donald Trump considers both OWS and the ensuing RNA “vaccine” products to have been one of his greatest achievements. This position is non-negotiable. I knew this was the case when I endorsed DJT for president. You can find my logic regarding this summarized in this essay. Note that this endorsement preceded that of RFK Jr.

For those interested in my observations concerning the “MAHA” movement and the HHS “transition” selections currently in progress, please see this essay. For those interested in a rather personal case study of promoted “Medical Freedom Movement” hate and its relationship to Fifth Generation Warfare methods, please see this essay.

Has there been a quid pro quo agreement between RFK Jr. and Donald Trump? I have no direct evidence or confirmation of this. To be clear, I am only noting the appearance of such, and others have also indirectly alluded to this possibility. Appearances can be deceiving, and being constitutionally unable to read minds (I do have my limits), I can only generate hypotheses to account for observed behaviors. I cannot discern motives.

On an “X” post from the evening of 27 Dec 2024, Brownstone Institute founder and thought leader Jeffrey Tucker summarized the current situation:

“MAGA/MAHA/DOGE are facing internal splits and acrimony between in and out groups precisely in the way we would expect from any reformers seeking to overthrow the old and bring in the new.

The people who brought the leadership to power — the revolutionaries long on the front lines — want no compromise with the old systems and are way beyond patience at this point. They are habitually suspicious from long and bitter experience.

The people charged with carrying out the task, by virtue of their social and economic status, are necessarily shaped and hence tainted in part by association with that which they are overthrowing, thus raising questions about their sincerity and willingness to do what must be done. How to resolve this?

Not in the way the transitional government in Russia, led by Alexander Kerensky, dealt with this in 1918. He failed to address the core reasons for the revolution, namely the war draft. As a result, he was swept out of power as the Bolsheviks took charge (and wrecked the country for 70 years).

The lesson of that experience: Reformers must go much farther much faster than they believe else they risk being discredited. Transitional government often worry that the public is not ready for radical change. In this sense, they are mostly always wrong. The time is long-past due. If they do not, they put everything at risk and bring to power the Robespierres and Lenins, fanatics who wreak havoc.”

Jeffrey, who I consider a friend and colleague, followed with these further observations:

Frequent Brownstone Institute contributor and Fellow Toby Rogers has also provided his assessment of this general issue in a lengthy “X” post of the same date:

“Let me be clear: there is a HIERARCHY to the medical freedom movement based on who has put in the most work and who understands the issues the best.

As the childhood vaccine schedule expanded in the 1990s a wave of warrior moms and dads figured out the connection between vaccines and autism including Lyn Redwood, Sallie Bernard, Katie Wright, and others. Soon thereafter they were joined in the fight by Mark Blaxill, Mary Holland, Elizabeth Birt (who died in a car accident), Ginger Taylor, J.B. Handley, Polly Tommey, Brian Hooker, John Gilmore, Jennifer Larson, and other parents whose children regressed into autism following routine childhood vaccinations.

These OG warrior moms and dads converted Robert Kennedy Jr. in 2004.

A decade later another generation joined the fight — Del Bigtree, Aaron Siri, me, and the warrior moms and dads on the ground in CA fighting against SB 277 in 2015 (and then across the country as Pharma exported vaccine mandate bills to other states).

And then there are the courageous newbies who were converted by seeing the harms of Covid vaccines — Steve Kirsch, Peter McCullough, Pierre Kory, Paul Marik, Ryan Cole, Robert Malone, Geert Vanden Bossche, and thousands of vaccine injured people and their families.

Notice — Calley and Casey Means are nowhere in this hierarchy. They don’t exist because they haven’t done the work and they don’t understand the issues. They were simply parachuted into the movement by the CIA to try to control the narrative.

Also, Jay Bhattacharya and Marty Makary are not in this hierarchy as they have not done the work either. They are institutionalists working to save their beloved profession not medical freedom activists working to save kids.

The hierarchy of public health appointments in the Trump administration should reflect the hierarchy in the medical freedom movement based on who has done the most work and who understands the issues the best.”

This growing revolt is, in part, prompted by the central role of Pharmaceutical Industry lobbyist Calley Means in the Trump HHS transition team process. Mr. Means’ relationship to President-elect Trump apparently preceded the recent election cycle, and to the best of my understanding it was Calley Means who brokered the “rapprochement” between then-Republican party candidate President Trump and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

My own (rather personal) experience has been that many in the “Medical Freedom Movement” are quick to “J’accuse” others of acting on behalf of the CIA (whether intentionally or unintentionally). Without direct evidence, in my opinion, this is intellectually sloppy or lazy (at best) to publicly state such based on speculation.

In the case of Calley Means, this would require that Mr. Means was placed into such a position of influence by CIA long before the book coauthored by himself and his sister which received such an inexplicable wave of promotion by the likes of Tucker Carlson (Feb 03, 2024) and Joe Rogan (Oct 08, 2024), followed by an Oct 22, 2024 “Team Trump’s Make America Healthy Again Conversation” and which seems to have catalyzed the “Make America Healthy Again” movement which the RFK Jr. campaign had previously capitalized on. MAHA was initially not an RFK Jr. campaign initiative, but instead, the campaign was an early adopter.

As background, lobbyist Calley Means sister, Dr. Casey Means, MD, is a Stanford-trained ENT surgeon who chose to not complete her residency because of disenchantment with the medical establishment- which decision I can certainly empathize with.
