Thank you to Polly St George aka Amazing Polly., who writes, 

Casey Means & Sam Corcos of Levels aren't interested in healthcare - they're interested in the proven pattern of influencers selling snake oil. Casey is great at it. "It worked really well" says Corcos. Means is now Trump's pick for Surgeon General

This is why it’s dangerous to have centralized gov research with a twist of military influence.

You build a cult of personality command structure. Obvious facts become uncomfortable data, silenced within that hierarchy and even externally as we saw with @DrJBhattacharya… https://t.co/xMQwZSbPKJ

00:00.  And now he is working again in the second Trump Administration.  He is a senior medical officer and advisor under RFK Jr at Health and Human Services, and he's focused on pandemic preparedness and that's another topic we cover.

What is the implication of the plasma DNA in the vaccine?

00:17. The problem is your cells have a biochemical mechanism called Line 1 and when you see a lot of viral DNA floating around this is a trigger to your immune system it doesn't like that doesn't like the methylation on it and what it will try to do is grab part of it turn it into, if it's RNA, turn it into DNA and it ends up going back into the chromosome as a transposon.  Tromposons are jumping jeans you know like maze like real corn and it's all different colored kernels that's what gives a different colored kernels Barbara mckendrick got a Nobel Prize for finding that these are segments of DNA they can jump in and be expressed and then jump out but sometimes when they jump in or jump out and rejump in the end up next to an important Gene involved in cancer.

1:07.  It does seem like there's a lot of concern about the virus causing cancer and potentially the vaccines being the

1:14.  The vaccine particularly so one of the ends of the viral genome has something like a an SV40 enhancer on it and this makes certain genes express stronger.

1:26.  Can you explain what that is?

1:28.  Kind of like an afterburner for gene expression like an airplane all the flames come out the thing goes fast because you're just pumping fuel into it kind of like that sort of a rocket assist but it's this random out of the end of the day that and random insertions until you disrupt something that's like a pre Uncle Gene that's very carefully regulated like a growth Gene

Diabetes is the result of vaccines?

TOM DILORENZO on GOV'T BUREAUCRACY

17:00.  Civil service reform essentially created lifetime tenure for the vast majority of bureaucracies.  In my opinion the federal Judiciary is probably the worst of all these bureaucracies because they really have lifetime tenure Andrew Jackson when he was president we still have this spoils system and he condemned the idea of what we call a property right in a government job and he fired 41% of all federal bureaucrats you can applaud if you want Andrew Jackson by the way was one of Murray rothbard's favorites he wasn't a saint he wasn't the perfect libertarian God when I say this I'll probably get email from the libertarian Furious out there that say well what about the Indians or what you know yeah he of course was a human being did a lot of bad things as well but this was a good thing that he did.

18:04.  President John Tyler who's ever heard of President John Tyler?  Maybe about 2 or 3 people in the room?  There's a book called Re-carving Rushmore by Ivan Eland, published by the Independent Institute in California, and he ranks all the presidents according to how good a job they did in protecting life, liberty, and property.  Lincoln is way down there near the bottom.  Number one is John Tyler became president in 1841.  My favorite President William Henry Harrison died after 1 month in office, and Tyler was the vice president and he took over and he vetoed everything.  He vetoed the tariffs.  He vetoed the National Bank.  He vetoed corporate welfare for the railroad corporations and other road building companies, and all that, so he was a pretty good guy.  And he fired 50% of all federal bureaucrats.  He did even better than Andrew Jackson this is 1841 so in comparison what Elon Musk is doing is nothing it's trivial.

Who were these reformers this all happened in the 19th century and this is pretty interesting what Rothbard says about these people.  He says,

They're almost exclusively from New England and New York, highly educated, shaped by the cultural and religious values of their neo Puritan Yankee culture.  They wanted only good men in public office the good men being themselves they believe they had an inherent right of their sort to rule over lesser citizens. 

They profess to believe in democracy, but only if guided by people like themselves.  Otherwise, democracy shamocracy. They don't care about that, and when I reread the statement by Murray, it reminded me of something Clyde Wilson wrote.  He wrote a whole book called, Yankee Problem in America.  He says 

By Yankee, I did not mean everybody from the north of the Potomac in Ohio loss of them have always been good folks I'm using the term historically to designate that peculiar group descended from new englanders who can be easily recognized by their arrogance, hypocrisy, greed, lack of congeniality, and penchant for ordering other people around. Hillary Rodham Clinton is a museum quality specimen of a Yankee.
