Oh, fabulous! I'm a bit behind on my podcast-listening, even though I listen at 1.8x speed.

Yes, please share which one. Bret has been a great truth teller! Dissolving Illusions and Turtles All the Way Down cover the manipulation of how polio was diagnosed with the advent of the vaccine to prevent it and so much more skullduggery!

Since you're exploring some history of medicine and Big Pharma you may find this newspaper clipping from 1913, a decade before the JAMA piece interesting. It's about a play presenting the subject of eugenics to a Very Important Person audience. That included the president of the American Medical Association at the time, Abraham Jacobl, and the president of the oldest pharmaceutical company in the US at the time, William Jay Schleffilin among its VIP guests. And other names that you've no doubt heard of.

And then you understand that the practice of allopathic medicine and Big Pharma have been joined in the shared pursuit of eugenics for the human race, like cattle and chickens bred for the most lucrative genetic traits, for over a century.

A New York Times story from 1913. With many familiar names and characters from history, who's subsequent work in many fields, primarily medicine, banking, propaganda, industry, clergy, politics and academia are bound together by their underlying core belief in and support of eugenics.

Choosing Audience for Brieux Play

J. D. Rockefeller Suggests Those Who Have Aided White Slave Investigation

Social Workers Approve

The New York Times, page 13, February 23, 1913

https://www.newspapers.com/article/31090629/edward_l_bernays_medical_review_of/

It's a story about a play that develops notions of eugenics, social control by elites needing to protect their gene pools. It introduces germ theory as it was first coming into vogue

It describes a play that was shown to the powerful and connected, "Damaged Goods." Prominent attendees who also just so happened to be eugenicists. About men of high society who sleep around with prostitutes and lesser women, bringing back disease like syphilis to families, deforming children, etc. It uses the term "White Slavery" to describe the sex trade. It advances the idea of infectious disease as it was still a relatively novel understanding of them at the time.

The article describes attendees from the American Society of Medical Sociology, an organization and movement that you'll discover is in concert with "Marxist conflict theory," that medical sociologists adhere to which explains hows how the ruling classes can assert their power through medicine. I discovered that tidbit when looking up the term after I first learned of it in this NYT article.

The names listed as invitees and on the hosting committee are a veritable who's who of the early 20th century. Including:

- John D. Rockefeller, father of allopathic western medicine, based in petrochemicals, products of his Standard Oil.

- Edward Bernays, the father of propaganda, advertising, marketing. And who popularized the term "quacks" to describe natural healers like homeopaths, while helping allopathic medicine educational and practice secure monopolies by outlawing and replacing natural healing, substituting petrochemical-based allopathy as the business model for health care.

- Simon and Abraham Flexner, who's Flexner Report was the notorious #FakeScience used to outlaw natural healers for Rockefeller's petrochemical business model of medicine.

- State Senator Franklin D. Roosevelt. And future President of the US.

A network of prominent socialists, communists with ties to Karl Marx, names like:

- William Jay Schleffilin, descendant of the first Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Jay, ran the oldest pharmaceutical company in the US, was in business at the nation's founding. Was VP of the American Pharmaceutical Association.

https://sci-hub.st/https://doi.org/10.1002%2Fjps.3080161113

- Abraham Jacobl, the first leading pediatrician, president of the American Medical Association. And a leading eugenicist:

And a great many more names that when you search out you'll find were leaders across many industries and disciplines, all aligned with socialism/humanism values. And all eugenicists. Most of the other names listed as invited are easily located in internet searches, no doubt they left their mark on our society today.

Victor Brack, the top doctor in Hitler's Germany was famous for his quote, "the needle belongs in the hand of the doctor" to describe the German eugenics program that murdered millions of "undesirable" humans:

Whether or not most doctors practicing today understand this to be the true origins and agenda of medicine and pharma, it remains the agenda of leaders of the practice as much in 2024 as it did in 1924, or 1913. The needle and/or pill remains in the hands of the doctors. By needle/pill Brack meant method of mass murder. For "a greater good" you know. Eugenics is practiced for a "greater good" - that serves the blue bloods and powerful, that is. It's a big club, but most of us aren't in it, as George Carlin said.

Doctors who don't intend to be mass murderers need to wake up to that uncomfortable truth. Maybe get into the practice of alternative healing systems that actually save lives, once they overcome their programmed "quack medicine" bigotry they were trained in medical school to believe about natural healers.

James Corbett's 'Rockefeller Medicine' ep (https://corbettreport.com/rockefeller-medicine-video/) is a good capsule summary of this topic. Lily Kay's book The molecular vision of life : Caltech, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the rise of the new biology (https://archive.org/details/molecularvisiono0000kayl/mode/2up) is also excellent.

Thank you so much for all this information. I look forward to digging into it.

I've found when people pay a lot of money for something, like medical school, they have a very hard time believing it has little real value.

This is true across the board and has led to billionaires making billions. A sucker born every minute. Thanks again.

13.2 “The Higher the Education Level One Has, the Sillier He Is”

From the book:

Rural Health Care Delivery

Modern China from the Perspective of Disease Politics

Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2013

http://library.lol/main/DB87C08A174B849E1EB0476138787AED

('GET' .pdf download)

This book was written by a professor at a Chinese University. It describes how China was transformed from a nation of individualist nationalists to a nation of collectivist Marxists applying "20 The Logic of Disease Politics."

About that "Medical Sociology" that's in concert with "Marxist Conflict Theory." Applied from theory to actual governing.

It's a very long book, but you can break it down by chapter and section title to areas of most interest. I highlighted a few in my Stack on the book:

Note: I discovered the book as a link in this article in Foreign Affairs, the most influential international affairs publication in the world, published by the Council on Foreign Relations:

Past Pandemics Exposed China’s Weaknesses

The Current One Highlights Its Strengths

Foreign Affairs, March 27, 2020

https://web.archive.org/web/20200328050913/https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/china/2020-03-27/past-pandemics-exposed-chinas-weaknesses

They told us this in March, 2020.

When "5.3 Discipline Imposed by Hygiene"

"9.4 To Combine Health Campaigns with Mass Movements”

in a "11 The Patriotic Hygiene Campaign and the Construction of Clean New People" was initiated.

They told us. If we bothered to read what they write. The highly educated learn more and more about less and less. But believe their extensive knowledge of one subject conveys extensive knowledge of all subjects, by osmosis I suppose. The joke at high society fetes is that "Doctors are always the smartest person in the room - they'll tell you so!" Yup.
