Well written summation of where RFK stands today. Revamping Medical Healthcare in the US means fighting a beast with sharp claws and teeth in a fight to the death. It isn't going to give up easily. I can see the small wins every week that RFK and Trump make. They are playing the long game and know that short cuts will only set them back. Trump 2 is much smarter and savvy than Trump 1.
Nice comment, but I have to disagree about President Trump (1).
Donald Trump has always been extremely intuitive, thanks in large part by him loving his father who he understood to be unfairly brutalized by bureaucratic and NYC shills doing the dirty deeds to take down a Trump family on the obvious rise whether it be mafia or political. However, the more they tried, the harder they fell to Trump wisdom of who they were by getting inside the system the politicians like Nadler the cowards created to stop any competition using regulation and lawfare beginning four decades ago as I remember. No, President Trump is as John says, an “idiosyncratic” personality, Cicero on his own mission of understanding just who the real demons are and their complicit minions either willing or not, and because of that, perhaps once in a lifetime that comes along, a man that helped out thousands of average people on the street without any fanfare that the media shills refuse to acknowledge because they have been complicit in false witness, they have TDS.
The difference between the real Trump and the Media portrayal is that Donald’s father told him, if you want to do business, so be it, you will learn, but if you want the truth, go down into the basement, or in the hole with the guy with the hard hat to get it, and he did.
This is why many Democrats think RFK Jr. is a nut job, because as a young man suffering horrendous family losses he was somewhat wild finding who he was, a falconer, a guy who has picked up road kill, which pretty much every outdoorsman and hunter has done or similar. The “beautiful people” just don’t get that so of course they use the shills to attack him.
With all do respect to Bobby Kennedy Jr for his four decades of compassionate lending of his own life as an accomplished lawyer, a man also slandered by the shills that covet, a man who as a youth did things “out of the norm that gave the shills the fodder to slander they now use, RFK Jr. was able to see in Donald J. Trump why he will not quit against the evil that undermines us all.
You will question Trump and MAGA moves over and over precisely because you have been propagandized for ten years by 92% of mostly Democrat MSM 24/7 as a buffoon until it stuck in your brain because that’s how the historic Plantation Party roles, that’s why they were chosen to be the vehicle to denigrate America to move forward with globalism six decades ago using 8% of my Boomer generation at academia as their “chosen” to lead us to where we were before 11/5/24 by haters, coveters, both home grown and from afar.
Don’t take my word, take it from RFK Jr. himself. Without Donald J. Trump and MAGA his valiant movement was dead in the water, Ho hum to the globalist Oligarchy, and still the MSM calls MAGA’s 150 million Americans and growing abroad fringe.

I was amazed at how RFK seemed to just breeze through the confirmation hearings. The one person that had guts enough and the knowledge to go up against Big Pharma, Big Food, Big Ag, and Big Govt. just basically breezed right through said confirmation. Hardly a peep from the vultures!!!
Now, I believe that deals were made behind closed doors to help this process. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT RFK IS CORRUPT!!!!!!!! He is plagued with guilt over his privileged life and has an insatiable thirst to help others that are less fortunate. JFK, RFK Sr, and many trust fund children suffer likewise. I used to watch many automobile trust fund children give their wealth to the Hare Krishnas in Detroit.
He has already saved so many future children from a life of disease and early mortality by what he has done.
Thank you, Bobby, for all that you have sacrificed, and are going to sacrifice, that you didn't have to.
John Leake, I appreciate your essays and commentaries. Through them you demonstrate that you indeed, are a learned man. I have to thank you for helping me become a more learned woman. The fight against the global techno-tyrannists, the ensconced and tenacious Pharma/biomedical/biodefense complex is going to be a very long slog through the murky, toxic, swamp that D.C. has become. I only hope that we as a people can continue like you to learn from history, and that we can follow the Trump/RFK administration with an administration equally or more adroit at restoring our country to the Republic that our forefathers eloquently laid out in the Constitution. The knew full well that to keep it is very difficult. I pray that Europe can rise up and fight the same in their nations. When we observe what is transpiring there, it is indeed concerning.
If you wish to learn even more about what is transpiring in Europe, I recommend the book, "Prey: Immigration, Islam, & the Erosion of Women's Rights", by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. I also recommend following Peter Imanuelsen's substack, (PeterSweden) for what is happening in Sweden. His most recent is about how elderly women in Sweden are being sexually assaulted by Muslim Men who have been hired as caregivers for the elderly. What those in power have allowed to happen to Europe is truly unforgivable.
All that happens in Europe is intentional. Immigrant selections is probably biased toward certain profiles known to cause a lot of problems. Globalists in Europe want to destroy all existing structures built over centuries : families, values (be it religious, moral or anyones driven by social harmony), freedoms of thought and speach , genuine tolerance, legal and political institutions, etc… everything that ensured some cohesiveness and identity consciousness within nations or communities. They infiltrated and
I agree & it has been evident for a long time, particularly following Merkel's decision to allow thousands of migrants from largely Muslim countries into Germany over a decade ago. What has been happening in the UK with the gang rapes of young English girls by Pakistani men has been going on for decades. The platform known as "The Conservative Woman" out of the UK has been covering this issue for many months. I receive their daily articles, & have read quite a bit about this situation that the government either completely ignores or downplays. Sweden also has a serious problem with sexual assaults of Swedish women by Muslim migrants. I know many people still enjoy traveling to Europe or even still deciding to move there but as for myself, you could not pay me enough to either visit or live there. Just yesterday, a Syrian asylum seeker stabbed multiple people in a pub in Germany, killing some of them & seriously injuring the others. Not too long ago, another Muslim migrant attacked a group of kindergarten children in a park in Germany. A man & his young son came to their aid, & were killed by the perpetrator. These kinds of assaults from these migrants are going on all of the time in Europe.
Correction: the article about what is happening to elderly women in Sweden was not part of Peter Imanuelsen's substack (though he reports on many other issues occurring in Sweden). The article appeared in "Spiked", (an on-line publication) & was written by Dan Korn, & dated 4/27/2025. You may be able to find it using a search engine such as Yandex. It's titled, "Sweden's Elder Rape Scandal".
Please note: the power of the pharmaceutical industry is much larger than presented in this piece. The whole health industry - health insurance, hospitals, doctors, testing, manufacturing - all rely on the pharmaceutical industry for a substantial portion of their incomes! Realize it is also integrated with the DoD and the rest of the NatSec establishment. Throw the banks in and one has all one needs to know about what is going on...
Perfectly put. Kennedy said awhile back that he would be "willing to do anything" to save the life "of even one child."
Yes, when he gave up a comfortable life to enter the HHS arena, he knew how horrible it would be for him. He is already saving lives. Only people who have no idea what drives RFK, Jr. would think anyone else could do better, or be more committed, than RFK, Jr. to childrens' health. If you hear of anyone who professes to be a Republican say differently,
You know John, if I had read ONLY the last quotation you provide from Theodore Roosevelt this newsletter would have been worth it. He was a great man and those are REALLY words to live by.
Based on that I sincerely thank you and only a few other warriors living here in the rage of Substack electrons who have "dared greatly" for our nation and our health. Thank you-- ALL:

well presented and stated as always John. I don't have much time for the negativity & divisive attacks from some quarters [circular firing squad as Robert Malone calls it]. RFK is doing a great job in the circumstances..
I agree we have to be realistic. RFK can recommend to CDC pulling c19 shots from childhood schedule ( which would eliminate that layer of indemnity from liability) and end the declared covid emergency, which his predecessor extended to Dec 2029, which should end EUA protection from liability under Prep Act. Meanwhile, Congress should repeal the 1986 Childhood Vaccine Act, which indemnified vaccine manufacturers from liability for any vax on the childhood schedule. No wonder the industry is vax crazed.
This is pretty much what I think about RFK, although I always have to keep in mind that I made similar excuses for Barack Obama during his entire administration, and now believe I was pretty well hoodwinked.
Even if I turn out to be mistaken about his motivations, I still think he's our best chance at cleaning up the public health mess.
There is no provision in the US constitution allowing the existence of an institution like the HHS (or most other federal government agencies & department).
Americans will be free when they retake their government to bring it back to a constitutional republic.
With zero government oversight via HHS, pharma would have absolute power. With RFK empowered by his agency, we have a chance of fighting back. Without this, we're doomed.
Clarify the clause about the Congress governing such Part of the Militia as may be employed in the Service of the United States. It presumes this apply to anyone to whom a Social Security number have been issued, and presumes numbers have been issued to all. Under the Trading With the Enemy act, and HJR-192, absolutely everyone (even space aliens!) is considered an enemy of the United States.
Great post, thanks for sharing. You point out that Washington DC is crawling with pharmaceutical lobbyists; the city is crawling with industry lobbyists. One can only imagine how much influence these lobbyists are having on policy. Whether you think that influence is good or bad, there’s no escaping the fact that we have a 36+ trillion national debt and a nearly 2,000,000,000,000 annual deficit.
The same could be written about President Trump, who gave up a very comfortable life as a billionaire and much loved media person to save the Republic. I've been involved in both parties over my life and the one thing consistent as it is axiomatic is that politics is all about addition. You must be adding supporters, even if they are known ner' do wells, or worse, to achieve your goals. Lincoln hired a bunch of cabinet officials who all thought themselves smarter and better than he, but Lincoln ignored their attitudes and insults and each one of these men helped him defeat the Democrats, end slavery in the U.S., and keep the Republic.
I think Secretary Kennedy, and President Trump, are playing a long game and are doing everything possible to achieve their mutual goals. And remember that, based on campaign contributions and voting patterns, about 95% of the Federal bureaucracy are Democrats who loath both of them and no doubt, wish them only ill.
The power of Big Pharma and its money is clear in many ways, but I wish to mention only one: vaccines. Thanks to Big Pharma's money, they control the curriculum in our medical schools, dental schools, and nursing schools. They use their money to control the media and our medical professionals and our elected officials. The end result is that all we hear from birth is how vaccines have saved humanity from dying out from diseases, and that all vaccines are safe and effective. I believed that as well - that is, until both of my sons, now aged 29 and 26, each began having neurological problems at around age 4. After more than 20 years of reading everything I could find on vaccines, I have been forced to conclude a number of things. First, both of my sons are vaccine injured; one has unexplained tremors, while the other has ADHD. Second, the entire "science" behind vaccines is a lie and a fraud. Third, vaccines are neither safe nor effective; in fact, few vaccines do anything positive at all, and that little bit of positive is far outweighed by all the dangers of vaccines, which kill and leave permanently injured millions of people around the world every year. Don't believe me - do your own research. The information is all out there for anyone who seeks it.
Well written summation of where RFK stands today. Revamping Medical Healthcare in the US means fighting a beast with sharp claws and teeth in a fight to the death. It isn't going to give up easily. I can see the small wins every week that RFK and Trump make. They are playing the long game and know that short cuts will only set them back. Trump 2 is much smarter and savvy than Trump 1.
Nice comment, but I have to disagree about President Trump (1).
Donald Trump has always been extremely intuitive, thanks in large part by him loving his father who he understood to be unfairly brutalized by bureaucratic and NYC shills doing the dirty deeds to take down a Trump family on the obvious rise whether it be mafia or political. However, the more they tried, the harder they fell to Trump wisdom of who they were by getting inside the system the politicians like Nadler the cowards created to stop any competition using regulation and lawfare beginning four decades ago as I remember. No, President Trump is as John says, an “idiosyncratic” personality, Cicero on his own mission of understanding just who the real demons are and their complicit minions either willing or not, and because of that, perhaps once in a lifetime that comes along, a man that helped out thousands of average people on the street without any fanfare that the media shills refuse to acknowledge because they have been complicit in false witness, they have TDS.
The difference between the real Trump and the Media portrayal is that Donald’s father told him, if you want to do business, so be it, you will learn, but if you want the truth, go down into the basement, or in the hole with the guy with the hard hat to get it, and he did.
This is why many Democrats think RFK Jr. is a nut job, because as a young man suffering horrendous family losses he was somewhat wild finding who he was, a falconer, a guy who has picked up road kill, which pretty much every outdoorsman and hunter has done or similar. The “beautiful people” just don’t get that so of course they use the shills to attack him.
With all do respect to Bobby Kennedy Jr for his four decades of compassionate lending of his own life as an accomplished lawyer, a man also slandered by the shills that covet, a man who as a youth did things “out of the norm that gave the shills the fodder to slander they now use, RFK Jr. was able to see in Donald J. Trump why he will not quit against the evil that undermines us all.
You will question Trump and MAGA moves over and over precisely because you have been propagandized for ten years by 92% of mostly Democrat MSM 24/7 as a buffoon until it stuck in your brain because that’s how the historic Plantation Party roles, that’s why they were chosen to be the vehicle to denigrate America to move forward with globalism six decades ago using 8% of my Boomer generation at academia as their “chosen” to lead us to where we were before 11/5/24 by haters, coveters, both home grown and from afar.

To be of use
BY MARGE PIERCY
The people I love the best
jump into work head first
without dallying in the shallows
and swim off with sure strokes almost out of sight.
They seem to become natives of that element,
the black sleek heads of seals
bouncing like half-submerged balls.
I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cart,
who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience,
who strain in the mud and the muck to move things forward,
who do what has to be done, again and again.
I want to be with people who submerge
in the task, who go into the fields to harvest
and work in a row and pass the bags along,
who are not parlor generals and field deserters
but move in a common rhythm
when the food must come in or the fire be put out.
The work of the world is common as mud.
Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.
But the thing worth doing well done
has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.
Greek amphoras for wine or oil,
Hopi vases that held corn, are put in museums
but you know they were made to be used.
The pitcher cries for water to carry
and a person for work that is real.
