Not surprising. Thanks for reporting this, John. What is the road back from perdition? Are doctors corrupt or merely corruptible, and influenced by a corrupting system? I would propose that it is the system that corrupts doctors, not the other way around. Most doctors are kind, caring, and honest, but the few (and I hope it is just a few) who are susceptible, will succumb when the fruits of temptation are dangled before them systematically. We need a health care system which rewards doctors for providing good care, and offers them training which enables them to offer true healing to their patients, and not just "disease management" with dozens of pharmaceuticals. Speaking as one with an M.D., the practice of medicine can be quite discouraging when you lack the powers to effect true healing, and are stuck with prescribing poisons for your patients. At World Council for Health, Tess Lawrie's international consortium of forward-thinking health care reformers, we are trying to institute just such a system, founded on commitment to ethical principles, and healing integrative health care. The hope for better health care lies in such efforts. The best health care system is one that makes itself superfluous by building a society so healthy that it rarely needs health care.

It's the FOOD ....it's always about the food. When we are forced to eat chemicalized, poisoned and gene altered dreck....we die....in many different ways. Doctors cannot change this and with their "vaccines" their drugs, their "testing" with invasive technology-- they only intensive the symptoms caused by bad diets, lack of nutrition, and poisoned food. Seed oil is among the worst...Canola etc.

I lost the battle in trying to get rid of seed oils in my retirement home. I presented a scientific review of their hazards with a full page of sample references from peer reviewed literature, but the “nutritionist” in charge at the corporation sent me two industry-supported articles about how healthy seed oils are because they lower cholesterol. I expect that, next, they will be feeding us meat from animals that have been injected with the bird fly “vaccine.” BTW, we now have an outbreak of COVID in my facility. I know one of these afflicted individuals. She just got her latest COVID booster a few weeks ago, along with a shingles and RSV shot.

Toxic "food" is an important contributor to chronic illness, but so are toxins in air, water, clothing, personal care products, medicines and vaccines themselves, and electromagnetic radiation. This is to say nothing of the toxic drivel our kids learn from social media and our public education systems. The Causes of chronic illness are multifactorial, but food is an important contributor, and for some, undoubtedly the most important factor.

"Most doctors are kind, caring, and honest,". No they're not, "Most doctors" went along with the agenda choosing to turn a blind eye toward what has long been on the horizon. The American "Health System" is just a mask for something deeply darkly sinister (rebranded several times) stemming from it's roots as the Eugenics Society.

You said it yourself "the practice of medicine...lack(s) the powers to effect true healing,"

Be real. Sure...sure They start out that way...and then they are faced with gigantic debts from their "education" and the mortgage for the houses they cannot afford and then when the children arrive....it is doom to all their good intentions. They are caught on the horrible wheel of debt, doom and despair with no way out.

It's the patients' faults...our faults. If we didn't enable their plights by our poor health "choices" they wouldn't have enslaved themselves to Big Farmya.

I saw my father-law- have a sudden enlightenment about his health...He took his wheelbarrow full of pills the doctors gave him and put them in the trash. He seemed to feel better and enjoyed what was left of his life....a good two years!

"Medicine" is not about our health...It is about THIER MONEY.

I have worked with physicians most of my career. Most are sincerely interested in the welfare of their patients, from my perspective. However, many of them are dissatisfied with their jobs, with the system, and with how it "forces" them to provide suboptimal care. They don't have an exit strategy. They are trapped within the system. It is easy to stand in judgment over them, but they can't easily escape. I know, because I was once one of them and through good fortune, was able to escape into Integrative Medicine. Most are not so lucky. Some are truly bad eggs, but many simply are caught in the quicksand culture of corruption and can't figure out how to get out. Some do quit. You are correct that we the patients need to take more responsibility for our health care and not accept the pill-pushing culture that has become the "standard of care" for most physicians. Much as I may empathize with physicians for their plight, I am horrified by the support the medical system, including over 90% of doctors gave to the mass murder project known as COVID-19. This was a disgusting abrogation of medical ethics that I have a lot of trouble forgiving.

I agree. I live in a "retirement community" and observed the unconscionable and round-the-clock push given to "the vaccines" including the "medical clinic".

I went down to their office with several books and lent them to the doctor who had injected my husband...who has apparently left his practice in the area. I can't seem to locate where he is.I wish he would give me my books. I put my name and phone on them. but he seems to have vanished a long with my books---name of Dr. Schylar Livingston-- I told him if he ever tried to inject my husband again with those kill shots I would sue him. I never caved. I said emphatically NO NO NO....and "go away". It's sad and horrible, however, how many have died/are dying here from the untraceable side effects , all in different ways...strokes, cardio issues, cancer, "the flu" even the relatively young ones still in their 6O's.

However my partner did get the first two and now I care for him around the clock as he has numerous "untreatable" problems. He did not go for the most recent round of death shots. But the few who are still alive here from that first two "vaccines" did!

I guess there are a lot of less toxic "batches"....I hope so. I also refused the face mask and did not observe fascist "social distancing".

I was thrown out of a local food co-op where I had been a member for 35 years!

I read Sucharit Bhakdi's book CORONA FALSE ALARM at the very beginning and it rang true to me. He remains a hero in my eyes as does Dr. McCullough.

Ed Dowd's book CAUSE UNKNOWN is a good tool to show those still buying into the lie of "covid"...but face it---COVID has assumed the status of a religion. There is just no convincing the true believers. They bet their lives on it.

Anyway....I can't change them so I gave up talking about it. I am a hermit now...

living with my books and the many good memories of amazing things and people I have known. The most hurtful and upsetting residue from all this is that hero Reiner Fuellmich is STILL in some nazi jail for no valid reason. This hurts my heart.

I was a nurse practitioner before I retired in 2019. I wrote many prescriptions following standard guidelines as I was taught because I thought I was doing the right thing. And my patients did well under my care and were very happy with me. As a nurse, I informed patients how to care for themselves. I talked about nutrition and healthy lifestyle. I refused to give vaccines or any other product that I knew was developed, tested or manufactured using cell cultures derived from the harvested organs of aborted babies. I was working in adult health so there weren’t many vaccines I needed to be concerned about. I refused to accept positions working with any physicians I thought were dishonest, and there were many of them. But I was acquainted with physicians who were honest, worked hard and really wanted to provide the best care they could. Many of them retired early because of the disincentives to be honest. I’m seeing more physicians going into concierge medicine which is giving them independence and the ability to practice “health care.” So, please don’t lump us all into the same pharma-controlled box.

The above is true. How many people can spend 4 years in college, 4 years in medical school (usually going into debt to do so ) then do a minimum of 3 years internship/residency, and emerge to find they are de facto government employees, and employees of the medical corporatists (only in the case of government employment, without salary, benefits or retirement), and then decide to do something else? There is a huge opportunity cost to becoming a physician. While others are making money and starting their lives, we are up all night taking care of people and seeing the horror of knife attacks, gunshot wounds, abused children, homeless veterans, etcetcetc. I worked 80-100 hours a week for peanuts. Totally exhausted and hungry. Every other night call, or every 3rd night. The brutality and indifference is shocking. We were cheap labor. Trash to those running the hospital.

When I am Pope-King ..

"Multiverse Journal - Index Number 2211:, 16th May 2025, Proposal and Apologetic; I should be Accepted as world Pope-King, How and Why. Third version."

https://stevenwork.substack.com/p/multiverse-journal-index-number-2211

.. I will remove corporate legal Personhood rights and immunity from Justice for the evils the owners direct them to do. The day conceived unborn are given personhood rights world-wide we might revisit corporate law and perhaps those Satanic Dragon Forms called from Hell might be given a tiny bit of rights,

or not! Perhaps every corporate owner that did nothing to demand unborn given personhood right when their Satanic corporate murdering demonic-directed evil-forms from Hell walking the earth with personhood rights, might all hang over the corpses of every older adult in their Blood-Line.

Every structure that an unborn baby was tortured to death across the world should be burned to the ground with those Witches, minions, doctors, .. locked inside. After the structures are ashes then the ground salted and the blood of all the older adults in their family blood-line poured out on the land with Exorcists removing the demonic shadows.

Well, does not sound like a good start to Cleanse this Level of Hell and make it safe and Love-Life-Joy-Hope filled, and when we run out of space we tear down the walls of Hell and drive them into the Quantum Ferment to become super-positioned and trapped?

Consider these proposals and the others in my article, those in my SubStack, and spread the suggestions and ideas to others. I'll let God arrange for my Pope-King of world Offices, you need do nothing but Cheer when take power - if you want.

----

This letter I wrote to someone in my Church has valuable information it best you consider.

Subject 1: Key-Log to end this early Stage of Holy Chastisement, world-wide insanity, evil Blindness and un-Righteousness?

Subject 2:​​ Key-Log that reshapes and wins debate against Abortion in both Theological and Scientific forms?

--

Dear..,

May this note find us all ever closer to God, and His Clarity.

Pardon this uninvited request for your attention and for any kind feed-back from your review of this, my humble Theological and Worldly offering to God, Church, and Man.

The insanities-accepting evil-blindness world-wide Sickness we are suffering from must be address by Moral and Intellectual powerful forces, and God Willing I pray that a version of this may be Championed by the Church and Her Body of Jesus Christ on earth, uniting all of Her and drawing pagan and lost souls to Her and towards Salvation. Tiny effort for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, impossible without Him.

If this is as valuable as I hope it will be, perhaps your office's effort in reformatting a version to present to the Vatican, with your co-authorship, to finely drive out the 50+ year-old Satanic foothold on earth and in so many souls - the evil Form from Hell Named Abortion, and in making clear to all the world the reason why and how this wide-spread life-Love-Joy-Hope destroying damage has already crippled generations of people across the world. And that is far far too many.

In this Offering I hope to have addressed the cause of this ever-accelerating worldly Fall away from God's Grace, Truth, Love, Justice, Charity, Right-Ordering, Holy Goodness in every dimension, this Fall into Hell.

While in private meditation and prayer I hoped to gain Inspiration and Clarity on the root reasons why this once Christian-virtue value-based Sane Western nation that I remember in early 1970s, how it mutated into today's deformed malignant evil-forming Death-spreading across the West, and the rest of the world.

This deadly cancerous-expanding; Intellectually, Judgmentally, Rationality and other mental-faculties crippling, and other shockingly damaged that has broken each generation, ever more insane-accepting evil-Blinded Fear-Parallelized Confused Lost soul-weakened feminized God-averting, unwillingness or inability to Sacrifice and Suffer in Service to God, Church, Man, Nation, Family, right-ordering institutions and systems.

In meditation I glimpsed that the evil hand-print of unTrue, unJust, disOrder matching of this increasingly rapid 'damage pattern', similar to the less aggressive damages caused by Sin.

I reviewed Saint Thomas Aquinas' related work and in considering this more aggressive path and it's seeming universality - I theorized that the cause permanently exists and often damages each victim almost always, regardless of the person's intention or activities.

It must be Stopped ASAP, before more significant damage is done. We all should be able to see that the entire West and most of the world suffers from it, and we all are getting worse.

What caused this Spiritual soul-murdering Plague?

If willing sin causes the damages outlined by Saint Aquinas, the Fatherless unProtected insane-accepting mother-raised children, from a very young age are psychologically-disOrdered such that it cements in child an automatic life-long self-harming state, from the crib. Psychologically manipulated and forced to accept insanities, treating them as normal or even praiseworthy.

Raising children from a vulnerable mentally-helpless age with clear insanities; mothers hiring minions to torture-to-death our unborn babies, our brothers and sisters, our uncles, our neighbors, our potential life-long friends, wives, husbands, .. they each silently screaming while being ripped-apart in an act of infinite betrayal of Man, God, herself and the father, Sacrificed to Satan or specific Demons that exchange unHoly powers or unHoly collected information unlimited in time and distance.

Such Betrayal and grave sins is Contempt of God, Contempt of Natural Law, Contempt of family, of community, of self, of Justice, of Love, of right-Order, and Mankind.

Such evil reCasts womanhood and motherhood into Damning forms Called-by-Sin out of Hell, empowered to walk the earth near and in them, That motherhood is transformed from nurturing loving life-supporters with Hands that are Guided by Holy Virgin Mother Mary, demonically changed to Poison Clawed torturers that are Guided by Satan - spreading suffering, torment, murder, horrors, death and Hell.

Both these argument versions in articles referenced below are written so they also may be used to argue against Abortion in perhaps a unique Holy Ghost Inspired manner that breaks the Synagogue-of-Satan contrived unresolvable unmovable focus-locked debate “when is unborn baby granted Personhood rights?”

(This unJust insanity, demonically hijacked and manipulated to the censorship of other forms of argument, and has been suffered through last 50+ years, and uncounted baby-murders world-wide in my lifetime, all while Satanic corporation Dragons are granted Personhood Rights the instant It's demonic Form is Called from Hell, along with the instant legal immunity from Justice for Evils that It's Satanic minion owners Will it to do.)

These arguments in articles below do not address the back-up debate position - that mothers have a 'bodily right' to rid herself of the unintended unborn-baby that is consuming her Body and Blood to live and grow.

This often-used back-up baby-murdering position is a legal debate I hope will go to SCOTUS, be Justly ruled and so be shown as vicious-evil-insane, and then womanhood may finally be Lovingly treated, restricted from legal immunity to murder and instead forced to act like a man and take responsibility for their actions (that risked the pregnancy) and so be forced to carry to birth the unborn person instead of murdering and disposing of them in the trash.

Then maybe Sick Western womanhood will stop acting badly as victims of our generations of insane-society, our unLovingly treatment of them, so they no longer be spoiled self-destructive pathologically broken & abused moral-infants.

“My body, my Choice to risk pregnancy, and if pregnancy follows - than the old murder-choice is no longer available.”

The most significant aspect of my anti-Abortion argument is it's un-linked to any actual unborn babies, the damage from young childhood would continue even if no unborn people were at risk of being tortured-to-death on mother's delusional psychotic whimsy.

I agree with this. I tried to make myself superfluous by telling my patients how to stay healthy. "Healthcare" is what patients do; "medical care" is what physicians do. Smoking, drinking too much, using drugs, being reckless and irresponsible causes a lot of medical problems that never needed to happen. Most of my patients ignored me. If I told someone with a melanoma it was not a good idea to go out nearly naked on a boat, she said "We're boat people." Another said "I've only had one." (melanoma). A young smoker, when I told him about the problems smoking causes, including lung cancer said "By the time I get it, they'll have a cure."

But nothing is as bad as government interference. The "Resource-Based Relative Value Scale" is nothing more than the Marxist theory of labor applied to physicians. When will we apply it to politicians? Is there a "Political Officeholder Improvement Act"? Is there a "National Lawyer Data Bank"?

What are the names of those charged? I am a physician, and when I think of the efforts I made for my patients and see what is going on in medical care these days, The good doctors have fled, or been kicked out. It began with LBJ and his vote-buying schemes of Medicare and Medicaid. Now millionaires come to see physicians complaining about ugly toenails, and wanting drugs they saw advertised on TV (which can damage the lives).They demand taxpayers pay for cosmetic stuff, and they get mad when you tell them Medicare does not pay for that. So, some doctors falsify the records so they can give the patients what they want and charge for it.

Sometimes I think I should never have become a physician. I did it because my mother died from TB after being terribly abused by the "US Public Health Service" because they assumed she was not taking medicine. She was, but she got it from an Army commissary, not from USPHS. I have had patients ask me, even in writing, to falsify their charts so that "insurance" would pay their bills for things not covered. I was also an ER doctor in St Louis. The patients, mostly young otherwise healthy males, made themselves sick with smoking, booze, drugs, violence and bad sex decisiions. Medicaid did not pay enough, and the hospital went broke and closed.

We have a pandemic of MORAL illness, not mental illness, in the USA. The government corrupted medical care. Medical care is not a proper function of government. Taxpayers dollars from gov't attracted the medical corporatists, and the main people who will put up with such a system are those who are either willing to sacrifice themselves for others, or those who are easily corrupted.

It is up to patients to fix this. There are not enough physicians to do it alone. 11 MILLION words of Obamacare regulations. 68 codes for "drowning and submersion while jumping or falling from burning watercraft" It includes water skis. How do water skis catch on fire? How does one jump off water skis?

I met a wonderful physician who was so fed up with medical malpractice and moral ineptitude of his fellow physicians that he was considering going back to school to become a lawyer and sue doctors that he saw and could prove were harming their patients. I am thankful for doctors who are honest and work to help their patients to the best of their knowledge. For those that sit on their hefty laurels, soaking in whatever the CDC, NIH, AMA, WHO, et al, throws at them, I pity them and pray they gain the common sense that will allow them to see past their noses.

It seems to me that we are kind of missing the point on why this seems to be afflicting all federal and state agencies and associated grifters, hangers-on, grant funding recipients, etc. All of this graft, corruption, embezzlement, etc. can be traced back to one common issue; the money and where it comes from. None of this would happen if the taxpayer's purses were not held open and robbed by the federal and state taxing agencies. With money comes corruption, its human nature. As a former 15-year federal employee, I can tell you without a doubt that there is not one federal or state bureaucrat that will work for free to enable this kind of corruption. There is not one grifter, embezzling doctor, fraudulent medical researcher, snake oil salesperson, etc. that will work to steal if the money were not available to them like ripe fruit ready for the plucking. Not. one.

The solution? Eliminate all federal funding for all of the health care and medical research entities and agencies that currently exist. Eliminate all state funding for all of the health care and medical research entities and agencies that currently exist. Remove all taxpayer funding for all services except those provided at the most local, immediately visible and accessible entities. This would apply to every single federal and state function that is not specifically authorized under our US and State constitutions. There was a reason that the founding fathers never wanted the public at large to realize that they could gain control of access to the public purse. Make every single government bureaucrat immediately accountable to his/her friends, neighbors, etc. If one cent is mis-spent, everyone that matters will know, and that person will be forced to act with conscience and morality. There is no alternative if we really truly want and desire an honest and accountable government.

That can only be accomplished by eliminating, root, branch, stem, etc. every unconstitutional federal and state government agency at the cabinet level all the way down to the janitor and the building he cleans. Out. All of them. Then write permanent legislation into the Federal Register preventing them from ever being stood up in the future.

This is what a brain surgeon is quoted as saying inn Atlas Shrugged, published in 1957. The author got out of Russia.

“I quit when medicine was placed under State control, some years ago,” said Dr. Hendricks. “Do you know what it takes to perform a brain operation? Do you know the kind of skill it demands, and the years of passionate, merciless, excruciating devotion that go to acquire that skill? That was what I would not place at the disposal of men whose sole qualification to rule me was their capacity to spout the fraudulent generalities that got them elected to the privilege of enforcing their wishes at the point of a gun. I would not let them dictate the purpose for which my years of study had been spent, or the conditions of my work, or my choice of patients, or the amount of my reward. I observed that in all the discussions that preceded the enslavement of medicine, men discussed everything—except the desires of the doctors. Men considered only the ‘welfare’ of the patients, with no thought for those who were to provide it. That a doctor should have any right, desire or choice in the matter, was regarded as irrelevant selfishness; his is not to choose, they said, only ‘to serve.’ That a man who’s willing to work under compulsion is too dangerous a brute to entrust with a job in the stockyards—never occurred to those who proposed to help the sick by making life impossible for the healthy. I have often wondered at the smugness with which people assert their right to enslave me, to control my work, to force my will, to violate my conscience, to stifle my mind—yet what is it that they expect to depend on, when they lie on an operating table under my hands? Their moral code has taught them to believe that it is safe to rely on the virtue of their victims. Well, that is the virtue I have withdrawn. Let them discover the kind of doctors that their system will now produce. Let them discover, in their operating rooms and hospital wards, that it is not safe to place their lives in the hands of a man whose life they have throttled. It is not safe, if he is the sort of man who resents it—and still less safe, if he is the sort who doesn’t.”

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, published 1957. Part three, chapter 2.

It isn't even "insurance". Medicare and Medicaid are wealth transfer plans from one citizen to another. I was a 15 year old female orphan left with nothing when I got my first tax-vulnerable paycheck. Money I thought I had earned was confiscated from me and given to strangers. Most of the rest is pre-paid medical "plans" run by medical corporatists. I belong to Samaritan Ministry. We help one another pay medical bills. You can join if you don't smoke, drink, take drugs, or have sex outside of marriage. Medical FAKE "insurance" does not run like true insurance.

"Everything govt touches turns to crap" ~Ringo Starr

What would surprise me is if it was just $15B. This has been going on longer, more often and for more money than what's now told. The only solution is to remove govt from all "healthcare" --not ask for more or "tighter" regulations. In early 1980s, doctors still made housecalls to elderly patients in my working-class neighborhood in Southeast Los Angeles. Govt takeover of "healthcare" destroyed all that, yet people are thankful to have insurance at all because of obummercare

Yeah...we grew up with doctors that made house calls-- often knew their patients as friends and neighbors. Times HAVE changed. Drastically. And it is time to stop casting blame and look for solutions.

That should be plenty of time....Or alternatively go to a copy center and have the important stuff copied. Mail the pages.

There is always a way....as my very independent mother told me....

Of course we all know that this goes back to two scriptures...."Love of money is the root of all evil."

Add to that "And God looked and saw that the imagination of man was on evil continually and it grieved God He had made man." (then came the flood)

Do any of us not understand this is a repetitive occurrence that is a battle in the lives of each of us as the fight twixt the will and the emotions that the emotions usually win?

Greed, avarice, lust, idolatry of anything, etc? So here we have greed and love of money. Add to that sexual sins and illicit drug use.

Indeed nothing has changed under the sun so who is surprised? Not me.

It is a spiritual issue...always has been, always will be.

"The presence of many doctors and lawyers suggests a society riddled with illness and disputes."

Gosh, I don't quite get this quote. Maybe back then.

This is exactly timely now. We have so many doctors and yet almost everybody in America is chronically ill. And we have so many lawyers and there are lawsuits everywhere.

Ok. I still don't get it. Decreasing the *number* of doctors, though, would not help the chronically ill. It's not the *number* of doctors we have, right? It's what our doctors are *doing*, or *not doing,* that is the answer.

The doctors cannot make us healthy. It's like what Smokey the Bear said about forest fires...ONLY YOU can prevent forest fires and YOU are the most important director of your own health--not doctors and definitely not their drugs. Divest yourself from BIG everything. Find good food and prepare it yourself. Throw out your pills. Now there's a revolution worth having.

If a doctor (or anyone) gives a poor, uneducated patient good advice, for example, what to eat to improve their health, then the doctor's advice DID help the person be healthy. I'm parsing our language a bit, I suppose, but I think words matter. The key is that someone has given the person the health information when they did not already know it. You are assuming the patient is middle or upper class and has been educated.

I assume no such thing. There are plenty of very smart poor people. Did you see that video made of Fauci when he went door to door in a poor neighborhood shilling for the "vaccine" and offering "free shots" .....Most just shut the door in his face and one or two even engaged him in a conversation in which they told him point blank he was full of sh*t.

I never said anyone was not smart. I referred to not having certain knowlege and information.

Even more, it is what patients are doing. Smoking, booze, drugs, violence, bad sex decisions. IE Immorality.
