Latest / The Aaron Day Show / S2E38 The Healthcare Prison From Rockefeller to AI
Transcript
- all right welcome to the air and day show this is season two episode thirty eight the healthcare prison from rockefeller to ai uh actually if anybody in the comments could tell me if you can hear me or not i've been playing around with the audio all day it looks like i have a signal we had some issues last week so i played around with a bunch of settings today and i want to make sure everything is coming through loud and clear we should have pretty minimal background noise hopefully the audio volume is also high enough so If anybody wants to say anything in the comments, that would be great. Again, just looking for anybody to chime in on the quality of the audio. But with that said, tonight is an incredibly important discussion in the broader scheme of technocracy. And it's the overall... healthcare topic, which is actually a big part of the technocratic agenda. But I'm not going to just talk about the modern aspects of this, I'm going to go through and document kind of the history of healthcare and how we got here. But before I get into that, I just want to recap and do a little bit of housecleaning. From the last few episodes, I encourage you to check out the last episode, season two, episode which was called Victory Value in Voluntary Commerce. This was a celebration, a little mini celebration about Roger Ver finally achieving freedom. And also it was a continuation of that previous podcast where we discussed the Freedom Dollar giveaway, which I've handed out about half. So I'm still waiting for some of the winners to reach out to me and send their um send their xano address so that i can send them the uh the freedom dollar so i will be reaching out again and you know i'll give everybody until the end of the week and then if those you know haven't claimed uh then i'll do another drawing i'm gonna make sure that we get the full amount into somebody's hands and we also talked about The Anycoin plugin, which is an opportunity for anyone in the world using WooCommerce and WordPress to now be able to accept Zeno and Freedom Dollar directly. And moving forward, you'll be able to accept private versions of Bitcoin. and Ethereum as well, tokenized on the Zeno blockchain. So I encourage you to look at that. And again, as a matter of structure here, I'm trying to balance this out a little bit so that Monday's podcast is, generally speaking, educational and talking about the technocratic threats, whereas Thursday is talking about the counter to those threats, because it's my strong belief that that just you know warning people about things that are bad is is actually can be demoralizing if you're not also offering a way out and so we're trying to do both the episode prior to that was with courtney turner about the dark enlightenment exposed and i encourage you to go back and look at the last several podcasts probably the last ten where in one way or another we've been focusing on this infiltration into the MAGA and MAHA movement of technocracy through Curtis Yarvin, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, David Sachs, and others. And this is an ideological movement. This isn't just about greed. It's not just about using technology to make the government more efficient. It's actually... about essentially replacing free will and you know human agency with a top-down system controlled by scientists and engineers which is now morphed into ai so this is critical and courtney's always a great guest and always has terrific information on these topics and then the week before that or the episode before that we discussed freedom dollar which is i think our our best uh first counter to technocracy which is a privacy stable coin that's not backed by u.s treasuries it's an algorithmic stable coin backed by xeno so when you're using this you have the stability of it being pegged to the united states dollar but you don't have the moral issues of it being backed by u.s treasuries and you don't have the surveillance concern of third parties being able to seize it or even monitor it. So I encourage you to take a look at that as well. As we said, in case you haven't heard the good news, Roger's case has been dismissed, and that was news as of last week. Not sure if he's actually left Spain yet, but this is phenomenal news and certainly something the Aaron Day Show and Daily Freedom Foundation have been strongly behind since day one. I want to talk in advance. So today's podcast is about healthcare. On Thursday, we're going to have special guest Mike Adams. And I've had Mike on the show before. Mike's had me on his show. I'm a huge fan of Mike Adams, aka the Health Ranger. And one of the things that he's done recently, which I've been spending a great deal of time with, is he's released an AI. that you can download on your own computer and you can use without being connected to the internet. And the great thing about this AI is it's trained on data that none of the other AIs and big models use. It's trained on the data that Mike himself has been collecting for years but he's also been gathering other sources and even translating information on a variety of topics including health from foreign from foreign languages his latest data dump is from from china actually translating material from china so if you want uncensored not only uncensored information but information that you can't get anywhere else and you want to be able to keep it in your own self-custody i strongly encourage you to download the enoch You don't have to download it. You can actually use it through Brighteon. You can actually use it through Brighteon AI, but you can also download it on your own computer. And just as I talk about the importance with crypto of self-custody, this is also true when it comes to AI. So I'm going to interview Mike. I'm actually doing a prerecorded interview with him on Wednesday, but then the Q&A is going to be great. What I'm working on is I'm trying to figure out a way to take... Mike's AI and actually connect it to an avatar with a voice so last on the last podcast a lot of people were asking specific questions and I had one guy on who said well gee you know I mean the economy is horrible my health insurance premiums just went up by six hundred dollars I'm worried that you know if we have really bad medical bills the hospital is going to come in and basically foreclose on our house and so I popped up Mike's AI and we figured out a way to help this person set up a trust to protect their assets in the event that that happens. What I'm thinking about doing is trying to actually have as part of the Q&A at the end an avatar that's actually tied to Mike's system so people can come on and ask questions and we can actually interact with his ai but on a more personal level with an avatar so anyway that i may not be able to get that done in time i'm definitely i've been working on this behind the scenes for the last few weeks not just this application i have other applications so it will happen eventually but possibly as early as this thursday so come prepared with your questions on on anything that you think might be novel that you could only get from this AI regarding anything from healthcare to living off the grid to even finance. I've really enjoyed working with the AI, and I think you'll like seeing it as well, using it. the next episode excuse me the next actual event that i have coming up is at the end of this month i guess that's actually coming up in just eleven days the brownstone institute gala in utah salt lake city tickets are probably sold out but you can you can check it's going to be a great event i'm on a panel with ed dowd and one other we're on the economics panel and it's going to be a great series of talks and discussions but it's also a phenomenal opportunity to hang out with some really smart people that have been on the front line of of resisting this medical tyranny and you know I'm kind of there as the brownstone is kind of more if there's a politico article about it you know recently is really taken hold in the medical freedom side of things. But it did start out with a broader tent. And so I'm kind of heading the charge on economic issues and maybe branching out into AI as well. So more to come on that. And this is where we're going to be launching, my wife and I, kind of our Daylight Freedom version, and all the different initiatives that we're working on to fight technocracy. So if you're new to the podcast, just a quick overview, everything that we're doing not only this podcast, but everything that I'm doing in my life and that, you know, my wife and I are doing through Daylight Freedom and our other ventures is regarding what I think is the fundamental battle of our time, which is technocracy versus freedom. So it's not a political battle. It's not No king stuff is a distraction and actually kind of ironic in a way when you understand what's going on with Curtis Yarvin and everything. But it's not red versus blue. It's not even U.S. versus China. It's a global technocracy movement that is designed to, again, consolidate power at a global level, replace the economy with an energy credit system. So literally going from this price-based system based on supply and demand to an artificially captured system where energy credits are the global currency and where you have a social credit system that's essentially run and monitored by AI. That is actually what we are up against. And so that's not a country specific battle. This has been an ideological movement that started in the nineteen thirties. and where just now the technology is there. And I believe that the real battlefield for this is tokenization. And if you're not familiar with that, I'm writing a book about this. I won't have it until the end of the year, January. I will definitely have it by January, but it's, you know... It's going to be a comprehensive book on this concept of the revolution will be tokenized because essentially the way that the technocrats are moving to take power is by creating digital tokens that represent all of our assets. So you may be familiar with stable coins, which is a token that represents a dollar. which is also kind of what CBDCs are, tokens that represent central bank digital currencies. But they are now actively moving to tokenize everything that we own and even to tokenize people themselves. Larry Fink has been talking about this. So the next step is stocks, bonds and commodities. And so while people sit there and worry about, well, gee, if I say something they don't like or if I don't follow the rules, they might shut off my money. it's more than that they might shut off everything you own all of your assets your retirement account your ability to even sell anything you own even use your car that's actually what's at stake and since about two thousand eighteen I've been working on Tokenization from another perspective, which is, well, wouldn't it be great if we could tokenize our assets and trade them with one another where we have the tokens in our own self-custody, where they can't be controlled and programmed and monitored and censored by third parties and where nobody can see the transactions. And so that to me is the tokenization is the battleground and the privacy promoting self-custody way is what I think is our best shot out of this. And so we're focused in three different areas right now at this show being a big part of this warning people about technocracy. And it's not just me talking about technocracy. My goal is to platform all the best people in the world on technocracy. This is why I have Courtney Turner on here. We do these roundtables with Patrick Wood and Craig Wenkelwitz as well. And so I know a little bit about certain things, but I want to make sure to bring on the people that really know the most about this because everybody needs to understand what technocracy is. And Patrick Wood is the OG on this. So go to technocracy.news. I actually just went through his boot camp. He's literally created an online course to go through everything about technocracy. Once you know it, you can't unlearn it. I learned about it when I was writing my book about CBDCs. That's when I connected with Patrick. And that's when I started to delve into his material. And it does answer a lot of the questions about what's going on and who's behind it. Because a lot of people have these conspiracy theories. It's this group or that group. And no, it's a network of people and organizations working towards an ideological goal. And they've been doing this for about ninety years. Second thing that we're working on, and this is the most important, is I call it autonomy reboot. The best way to fight this technocracy tyranny is for people to understand that we have free will and that it's up to every single individual to kind of break out of the programming and the control system and to take control of their own life, to take control of their own thoughts. emotions and actions. And without that, there's really no hope. But on the other hand, anybody can do this, but we have to recognize that. There are no white knights. Trump is not a white knight. Bobby Kennedy is not a white knight. Certainly, Elon Musk is not a white knight. Nobody is a white knight. You are literally responsible for yourself, which can be scary, but it's also very liberating. And you have the ability at any point to say no. And then lastly, as I've mentioned, third area is working on the revolution will be tokenized, which is creating parallel systems to what the technocrats are building that are based on privacy and self-ownership. And so I'm going to be rolling out a technocracy website in a very draft form in the next ten days, but I'm going to start spelling out and putting together this technocracy rating system, kind of like a DEF CON system, where you can see where we are in terms of where we are right now in terms of the level of technocracy and how close we're moving towards this end game where there's a global digital currency and an AI surveillance system. And equally, I'm going to be measuring the monarchy level. And this is, if you listen six or seven podcasts back, that'll make a little bit more sense, which is that Curtis Yarvin has been pushing this idea that we need a monarchy or a CEO or even a dictator. to fix what's wrong with this country. And a lot of what he says makes sense from the standpoint of, one, we're not a democracy. So he's focusing on the fact that democracy is bad. And of course, we're not supposed to be a mob rule democracy. But the problem is that a lot of people are rallying behind Yarvin and this idea of consolidating power at the executive branch because they think it's going to be used to get rid of the deep state and the administrative state and then roll back the constitution. And that's not what it's being used for. It's actually a platform to consolidate power to implement technocracy. And so we have a lot of people that are well-intentioned that are unfortunately spending their time sowing the seeds of their own destruction. And so I'm going to, you know, we've talked about things like the sovereign wealth fund and other things that are actively being done right now. The United States now owning ten percent of Intel. of lithium, Americas, other companies. We're doing what other sovereign wealth funds, which are mostly monarchies and dictatorships, are doing all around the world. It's very anti-American, and it's very much anti-free will. So this week, there's a lot going on. So I decided to make this entire week health care based. So we have this episode. Today, I'm going to be on with Shannon Joy on Tuesday. And then we have on Wednesday the Technocracy Roundtable with Courtney Turner, Patrick Wood, Craig, and myself. and the theme of that roundtable is ai and healthcare so you're going to want to tune in on that that's six pm eastern time on wednesday and courtney is going to be hosting that so you can go to courtney turner you can look her up on x or her various channels but uh hopefully i'm going to be able to live stream it as well and maybe shannon joy and some others will be live streaming it we want this information to get out This is part of what prompted me to do tonight's podcast, which is kind of not focused entirely on AI, but more historically what healthcare, the evolution of healthcare and how we got here to provide some context so that this roundtable makes even more sense. So for tonight, you know, health care isn't just another topic for me. This is a personal topic, deeply personal, and I've talked about it often on many podcasts, whether it's doing my fast or whatever it happens to be. But when I was a kid, I watched my father build a stop loss insurance company, and I learned how the game worked from the inside, how insurance companies profit from denying care. how they create complexity to extract wealth. That was my first education in medical economics. And then I built my own healthcare company. We were disrupting the system. creating transparency, actually helping people improve their health through financial incentives. And then in two thousand and eight, Obamacare came in. And so the combination of Obamacare, Dodd-Frank and Eric Holder's Justice Department literally destroyed the company. And not because we were doing anything wrong, but we were actually just collateral damage. So this isn't a situation where, you know, like I'm familiar with now or many of my friends where they're being targeted specifically as individuals or their companies. We were just collateral damage. And then my deepest education came from my own body. My parents, I'm sure not knowing any better, followed the USDA food guidelines. And so growing up, I ate horrible food. I remember at one point a low fat diet and having a nutritionist tell me I should eat snack well cookies, not have any fat, eat a hundred calories a day, so on and so forth. And so this created a kind of a chronic situation. where I've struggled on and off my entire life with weight. And so the government approved diet nearly killed me and actually I would argue is probably the single biggest source for the obesity epidemic and the type two diabetes epidemic. And so over the years, I fasted more than two hundred and fifty days now, I think total and not just like a trendy intermittent fast. I mean, these were extended. The most recent was a forty day fast. for Roger. And when you're doing that, when you're deep into a fast, you can't help but to think about your not only your relationship with food, but also how the healthcare system works in general. So I spent a lot of time, not only through my business and other contexts, but but while in a fasted state thinking about and researching what happened. And if you follow me long enough, you'll know that I always like to find the source of the problem. I keep asking questions until we get to the root. I always want to see, you know, for instance, there are a lot of people that think, well, COVID was just a recent phenomenon, a couple of bad apples, and, you know, get rid of Fauci and now everything's fixed. And my, you know, my approach is, all right, what's the history of public health? Where do these institutions come from? And this applies not only to healthcare, but it applies to uh every every other area whether you're talking about the cia the fbi and so you know i went through this entire rabbit hole and recently the brownstone institute published a book hopefully you can see this called the divided legacy this is a four volume set by a guy named Harris Coulter and this is a phenomenal set of books instead of resources because it essentially documents twenty five hundred years of medical history so this is a thoroughly researched set of books and it's not the version they teach in medical school this is the real history so the war between two completely incompatible philosophies of healing And so here's what blew my mind. For twenty five hundred years, there have been two medicines empiricism, which sees you as a self-healing organism with innate wisdom and rationalism, which sees you as a broken machine needing repair. One trusts your body. One fights it. Well, guess which one took over using political power, not healing results. This isn't ancient history. This is right now. It's the technocracy versus freedom war. Healthcare is the major battleground because it all comes down to one question. Are you human or are you a machine? If you're human, you have rights, sovereignty, and free will. Your body knows how to heal. You deserve informed consent. If you're a machine, you have no rights. Machines get repaired by mechanics who know better. Machines follow programming. Machines get upgraded or scrapped. This is why they're pushing AI healthcare so hard. This is why transhumanism is their goal. Once they convince you that you're hardware, not human, the takeover is complete. So tonight we're laying the foundation. This isn't just another healthcare episode. This is the episode that explains why your doctor doesn't know about nutrition, why natural medicine was destroyed, why insurance exists to deny care, why they need you sick, and why right now, this week, they're collapsing the system on purpose. And by the way, as I say this, I tend to work on these podcasts up until the very last minute. So last time I checked, we still had a government shutdown going on. If that's not the case, then somebody let me know because parts of this episode might be a little bit out of date, but I'm going to proceed as if the government shutdown is still the case. And actually, it's very important related to this topic. The government shutdown is an incompetence. The the one hundred and fourteen percent premium increases aren't accidents. Operation Stargate isn't about innovation. It's about the final capture of your biological sovereignty. But this is what they don't want you to know. The counter system already exists. There's direct primary care. There's medical tourism. There's self-custody health AI, like what Mike Adams just released with Enoch. Local food networks. We're not waiting for permission. We're building the parallel economy now. From Rockefeller's petroleum medicine to Palantir's AI surveillance, from the Flexner Report genocide to RFK's wearable mandates, from the AMA's in the eighteen forty seven war declaration today to today's algorithmic denials, we're connecting all of the dots. We're exposing the entire prison and more importantly, we're showing you the exit. This is foundational. If you've been following me, you know I don't deal in surface level analysis. We're going back twenty five hundred years to understand the next twenty five, because once you see the pattern, you can't unsee it. Once you understand you're not a machine, you can't be programmed. Your health sovereignty starts with understanding this war, a war between those who trust the human body and those who want to control it, between empirical healers and rational mechanics, between freedom and technocracy. They spent a hundred years building this prison tonight in the next two hours or hour, however much we're going to demolish it. So welcome to episode thirty eight. This is where your medical awakening begins. All right, so we're going to start out, you know, I actually, at some point, I recommend, I mean, look, I don't know how many people have time to read four volumes. So again, this book, The Divided Legacy, is, you know, I could do a ten-part series on just these books. And I don't think people necessarily want to go into that level of detail, but it is fascinating to really wind back and see what's going on. And what we really find is that for uh of medicine locked in mortal combat there's one that trusts your body's wisdom to heal and the other that teaches you as a machine so this has been going on since hippocrates and so the empiricist gave us homeopathy uh and naturopathy gen gentle systems that work with your body and the rationalists have given us bloodletting mercury poisoning and a medical monopoly So this isn't just about science, it's about power. And for twenty five hundred years, the same philosophy that killed George Washington with bloodletting now denies your insurance claims with AI. So this is kind of the original split. So true Hippocrates, the body heals itself. And then there were fake additions. While there are four humors that must be balanced, this kind of mechanical theory of how the body works. So the empiricists early on said, well, observe each patient's unique symptoms, and the rationalists say apply a one-size-fits-all theory. So this really boils down to the law of similars, like cures like, versus a doctrine of contraries, suppress symptoms. So again, what's going on right now in modern day has roots that go back literally thousands of years. The ultimate rationalist Galen made opposing symptoms official dogma. Anyone who questioned him was executed or exiled. This stifled medical progress for fifteen centuries. It created the template theory over observation, authority over experience, and his ghost still runs modern medicine through the same philosophy. So this is the pattern that's been established. empiricism, trust the body and assist healing, rationalism, fight the body, suppress symptoms. One creates health, the other creates customers. The war has never ended. It's only changed weapons. And so for fifteen hundred years, Galen's tyranny seemed unbreakable. Then came a Swiss radical who literally burned the medical establishment to the ground. So now here we are. You're probably familiar with this guy, John D. Rockefeller. But I think a lot of people don't fully appreciate the extent of his impact on not only medicine, but education and a whole variety of fields, economics. john d rockefeller turned oil waste into pharmaceutical drugs and then destroyed all competition through what's known as the flexner report he didn't improve medicine he monopolized it and his foundation still controls global health policy today through bill gates Rockefeller did to medicine exactly what he did to oil. He destroyed all of the competition to create a monopoly, but it wasn't about money alone. He needed to turn petroleum byproducts into pharmaceutical drugs. Natural medicine was the competition, so he commissioned the Flexner Report to destroy it all and create a template for medical tyranny that we still live under today. So this was the petroleum to pharma pipeline. So what was the problem? And the problem was oil refining creates toxic waste. So what is the solution? Turn coal tar into medicine. aspirin, benzene derivatives, all from petroleum, created the pharmaceutical industry from standard oil, needed to eliminate plant-based medicine entirely to be able to do this. So again, this is remarkable. And you may have heard about this, but I guarantee you most people have not. Most people still glorify Rockefeller and have no idea about the history behind this because of the way that the propaganda has worked through education and throughout the medical field. itself. So Rockefeller's real weapon was this thing called the Flexner Report. Rockefeller paid Abraham Flexner, not a doctor to evaluate schools. The real agenda was to eliminate non pharmaceutical medicine. So what would happen is the Rockefeller Foundation would fund approved schools. And the University of Chicago Medical School was his prototype. So this created an educational monopoly for rationalist medicine only. And by the way, he did the same thing with education. It turns out with public education at the time, public schools didn't have pensions for teachers. And so he funded teacher pensions provided that they move the curriculum towards what he was looking for, which what he wanted from the school system was compliant people who worked eight hours a day and that who were taught basically to do tasks, but not to do creative thinking. So he wanted the educational system not to create competitors, to create workers. And he did a very good job. at that as well so this dynasty continues to this day so the there's a rockefeller foundation gates foundation partnership and it is the very same playbook create the crisis offer the solution and then profit They control the WHO, the CDC, and the NIH through philanthropy. And the COVID vaccines are really the modern-day Flexner report. The next step in all of this, though, is AI and its operation Stargate, which we'll spend a little bit of time on and which I've spoken about in the past. But this is a five hundred billion dollar project. that will completely and totally centralize the control of healthcare and put it under the control and the direction of AI. So Flexner was just the executioner, but let me show you the actual genocide that was carried out. So in nineteen ten Rockefeller selection report shut down eighty two percent of medical schools, all of the black medical schools were shut down all of the women's colleges were shut down all of the natural medicine training was shut down. This wasn't just reform it was medical genocide designed to create scarcity and monopoly. Abraham Flexner visited every medical school in America in nineteen oh nine. He spent hours at Johns Hopkins, which was Rockefeller funded, and minutes at schools teaching natural medicine. His verdict was predetermined. Only schools teaching pharmaceutical medicine would survive. The result, complete medical apartheid that still defines American medicine. So here are the numbers to kind of back this up. So out of a hundred and sixty two total medical schools, fifty seven percent were destroyed. Only sixty nine remained. There were seven black medical schools that were mostly all destroyed. I guess there were there were two remaining nine women's medical colleges. A hundred percent were destroyed. Twenty-two homeopathic colleges were destroyed completely. That was a hundred percent of all of the homeopathic colleges at the time. The doctor supply was cut in half while the population grew. So you can see here in this slide what we have is the destruction of all of these medical schools, the reduction of the supply of doctors, and what was the result? Prices went up four hundred percent. So this was targeted destruction with huge impact. Black communities lost seventy five percent of their doctors permanently. Rural America was completely and totally abandoned because there became no profit in operating a country practice. Women were pushed out of medicine for fifty years. Natural medicine was criminalized overnight and prices were driven up four hundred percent. So lodge practice worker healthcare was destroyed, mutual aid societies were bankrupt, church hospitals were closed, and healthcare became a luxury good as opposed to a commodity service. And this set the stage for the employer insurance trap. I mean, there were some heroes that fought against this, just as there are some today. But nevertheless, the same battle has been going on for literally millennia at this point. Paracelsus burned medical textbooks in the town square. Hahnemann proved medicine scientifically for the first time. During cholera, homeopathy had a four percent death rate, while conventional medicine killed fifty nine percent. They had to be stopped. Between Paracelsus and Hahnemann, empirical medicine proved itself superior in every epidemic. These weren't quacks, they were revolutionaries who proved the body could heal itself when properly supported. Their success was so threatening that the entire medical establishment united to destroy them. So the first revolutionary in all of this was Paracelsus. And this first revolution was fourteen ninety three to fifteen forty one. So he publicly burned Galen's book at Basel University. The patients are your textbook, the sickbed your study. He reintroduced the idea of the law of similars with chemical medicines. He successfully treated the plague while Galenists failed. He was likely assassinated by the medical establishment. So again, a lot of people aren't talking about Paracelsus and Galen, but a lot of what's going on even today, and you can look at all of the parallels with what just happened and is still ongoing. With COVID, this is the same battle that's been going on for centuries and centuries and centuries. Hahnemann made it scientific. So the time period we're talking about now is seventeen ninety six to eighteen forty three. Hahnemann created the first controlled experiments in medicine called provings. He tested medicines on healthy people to catalog effects, match symptoms to remedies scientifically and developed patent patentization, which is, you know, nanomedicine, essentially even before nanotechnology. So the results spoke for themselves. Lower death rates in every epidemic. So this was a success that they had to hide. So in eighteen thirty one, we had cholera. Homeopathy had a four percent death rate. The modern approach, fifty nine percent death rate. You had the eighteen fifty four London cholera, homeopathy, sixteen percent and the modern approach, fifty three percent. Yellow fever, typhoid, scarlet fever, all the same pattern. So this forced allopaths to abandon bloodletting and mercury. So by, excuse me, by nineteen hundred, there were twenty two homeopathic medical colleges and a hundred plus hospitals across the country. So if homeopathy worked so well, how did they destroy it? And the answer is, just like still goes on today, they didn't fight it medically, they fought it politically. They used the force of the state. The American Medical Association wasn't founded to improve medicine. It was founded in eighteen forty seven for one purpose to destroy homeopathy. Their weapon was making it unethical for any doctor to even speak to a homeopath. This was medical cancel culture. Eighteen forty seven edition. And while when homeopathy started to take thirty percent of the medical market with better results and gentler treatments, allopathic doctors didn't compete on outcomes. They formed a union to destroy the competition. The AMA's founding document makes it clear this was economic warfare designed as ethics. And by the way, you find this is not just the AMA. You look at the American Heart Association and everything else. I've gone down. I don't even know how many documentaries I've watched. or how many things that I've read about these organizations. But it's kind of like, you know, so today I was driving somewhere and there's the big pink thing to celebrate breast cancer awareness. I mean, and here's another example of an industry where, what are they out doing? They're out recommending that you get a mammogram, which actually helps cause breast cancer. just as colonoscopies and a lot of other diagnostic techniques actually create the disease or have actually worse outcomes than actually using the diagnostic tool itself. So we're going to focus on the AMA today, but just understand if you ever see something like, oh, the American Diabetes Association said this was a good idea. understand that improving your health had nothing to do with the formation of these organizations. It has nothing to do with what they do on an ongoing basis either, which is a pretty dreadful but true statement. So the AMA was created specifically to combat homeopathy success. It was not about raising standards. It was about eliminating the competition. They came up with, in eighteen forty seven, their first code of ethics. which had a consultation clause. So any MD who even spoke to a homeopath was expelled. Wives of MDs couldn't even socialize with homeopath families. So it's funny, you don't think, I mean, usually when you think about unions today, or in recent history, you would not think that doctors are part of this kind of union movement. But when you dig into this, I mean, they really were phenomenal at creating manufactured scarcity and then using the law to block out the competition, probably the most egregious weaponized form of this, of any industry category that we have. Well, what was the economic motive? Homeopaths were charging less and healing more. They were taking wealthy patients from allopaths. They were proving heroic medicine, which is what it was labeled at the time, things like bloodletting and mercury was killing people. allopathic medical schools were emptying out and professional survival required destroying competition. So this was a this was a serious situation. By the way, I've talked about this when I do the fasting. You know, I do water only fasting, maybe with electrolytes, there's nobody with an incentive to promote something like this within our current system. And it's why your doctors don't even know about it as a potential technique. They've never even been educated on it. But we'll get to that. So then there was the boycott strategy. So they denied homeopaths hospital privileges. Then they blocked them from medical societies. Then they prevented them from participating in military service. Then they lobbied states to ban homeopathic licensing. And then they created a quackery propaganda campaign. So this professional association works so well that Rockefeller copied the playbook. So cut the supply of doctors in half, watch prices explode, four hundred percent, blame the crisis on the free market, offer government solutions, create a permanent medical monopoly. That's not a bug. That is the Rockefeller business model. So after Flexner destroyed half of the medical schools, health care prices predictably skyrocketed. And this wasn't an accident. It was the plan. Create artificial scarcity, drive up the price, make medicine unaffordable, and then step in with insurance and government programs that guarantee profits forever. Sound familiar? They're doing that again with nurses right now. So here's the scarcity formula. In nineteen ten, there were one hundred and fifty three doctors per one hundred thousand people. By nineteen thirty, it was one hundred and ten doctors per one hundred thousand, a thirty percent reduction. Prices had increased four hundred percent in fifteen years. The AMA kept schools limited to maintain scarcity. And this is the same plain book that is used today with residency slots. Well, what do you think happens when you create these manufactured scarcity solutions? It's kind of the same thing that happens with energy and everything else. This is what happened with healthcare. By the nineteen twenties, the middle class couldn't afford doctors anymore. By the nineteen thirties, hospitals started going bankrupt. By the nineteen forties, employer insurance solutions appeared. By the nineteen sixties, elderly were dying without care. And by nineteen sixty five, Medicare and Medicaid came to the rescue, which is now the single largest unfunded liability that is plaguing the United States budget. And all of this was done under Rockefeller funding control. So he only funded schools teaching pharmaceutical medicine. He created curriculum emphasizing drugs over nutrition. He installed Rockefeller men on every major medical board. He funded journalists that published only rationalist research, and he built the infrastructure for permanent monopoly. Then came World War II, and they found the perfect way to disconnect you from the cost of your own health care. Again, never let a crisis go to waste. World War II wage freezes created a loophole. companies could offer health insurance instead of raises. The government made it tax-free. Suddenly, your health was tied to your job. That wasn't an accident. It is a trap that still enslaves people today. And in nineteen forty three the perfect storm hit wage freezes met companies needed other ways to attract workers health insurance became the bait. The irs made it tax deductible and within twenty years you couldn't get health care without a job couldn't know prices couldn't escape the system. The trap was set and medicare and medicaid would soon make it permanent. The wage control accident started in nineteen forty three. So this is when the war labor war froze wages and companies began to offer health insurance. The IRS ruled it tax exempt, which is essentially a hidden forty percent discount, which creates a massive competitive advantage. So by nineteen fifty, if you were a corporation, you were in a position of, you know, either offer insurance or face bankruptcy. And one of the leading organizations kind of pushing all of this and leading the way was General Motors. So what happened as a result of this, because remember, before this, and before insurance in this entire system, I mean, you had doctors still going to people's homes, people actually knew how much things cost. Now, as a result of this, and again, done during a war period, patients no longer know or care about prices, doctors can charge whatever insurance pays. Hospitals create change master fiction prices. I mean, I could do a whole podcast just on hospital pricing and transparency. Insurance companies take their twenty percent regardless. It's perfectly it's perfect moral hazard. Nobody watches cost. Nobody has an incentive to watch costs. As I've said before, you couldn't develop a worse system than what we have if you tried, assuming that your interest was actually improving people's health. There's nothing about this system that has any incentive or any mechanism or any feedback loop designed to improve the health of an individual. The final lock was in nineteen sixty five with Medicare and Medicaid. And I actually remember finding audio clips about this. Ted Kennedy, I think, talking to LBJ or something. There were some the history of even getting Medicaid across the line politically was an interesting one. So when it was originally launched, it promised to cost only twelve billion dollars by nineteen ninety. So this was the whole thing. And I can't even remember what it was at the time. I might be wrong about the exact number, but I think in this back and forth between Kennedy and LBJ was like, well, you know, this can't cost more than a billion dollars or the people won't accept it. So they knew what the projections actually were. They knew what it was going to look like and how much it was going to cost. But they had this short term issue where, well, it needs to not look like it's going to cost more than this. in the next twelve to twenty four months or otherwise it will be people will find it to be outrageous so what was promised to cost twelve billion by nineteen ninety actually cost a hundred and ten billion dollars a ten x override it immediately caused medical inflation to double and it created what we still have today now a two class system privately insured and government dependent it made every American dependent on third party payment. So you're either dependent on the insurance company or you're dependent on the government. So we basically manufactured a system where you have to go through an intermediary and where that intermediary has no incentive to improve your health or maintain costs. So with that trap complete, let's look at the disaster that has been created. So rationalist medicine sees you as a machine. Machines don't have rights and machines don't make choices. Machines get repaired by mechanics who know better. That's why rationalist medicine always becomes authoritarian. You're not human, you're hardware. And this is one of Coulter's greatest insights in this book, which was that rationalist medicine inevitably becomes tyrannical because it denies your fundamental humanity. If you're just a bag of chemicals and reflexes, why should you have medical freedom? This philosophy that started with Galen's doctor knows best leads directly to mandatory vaccines, forced psychiatry, and AI determining your care. So this is the philosophical root. Empiricism is you are a unique self-healing organism. And again, this is the big push and what we talk about here is the importance of free will and the importance of valuing that as a primary function. Rationalism says you're a standardized machine. Empiricism says observe and assist your process. Rationalism says apply universal products. One requires consent, the other assumes authority. And let's see how this tyranny is progressing. So first you have doctor knows best, this kind of paternalistic system. Then it's science says, which is a blatant appeal to authority. Then you have for the greater good, collectivism. Then you have mandatory compliance force. And then finally, where you end up with this is AI decides, algorithmic tyranny. So the modern examples of this are forced vaccination for public health, psychiatric imprisonment without a crime, child medical kidnapping by CPS, DNR orders against family wishes, and AI denying care you and your doctor want. Speaking of disasters, let's talk about what is happening this week with your insurance. And I see that somebody in the comments noted that the shutdowns are still on, so I think this is going to be an important point. Now, I will say I hate Obamacare, so part of this as I talk about it is... I don't want to say I'm rooting for Obamacare, but we're about to see a catastrophe related to Obamacare. And in fact, look, I'm for complete free markets, which we have none of. There's no aspect of our system that's free markets. But realistically, here is what is about to happen. Twenty four million Americans are about to see their health premiums increase by one hundred and fourteen percent because Congress is shut down during open enrollment. this is an incompetence it's controlled demolition i would argue that they're probably collapsing the system on purpose so as you know which i always found to be one of the most absurd things but when i had my healthcare company you know we would sell to hr we were selling this incentive program to reward people for improving their health it actually worked it defied everything that the public health community thought was actually possible but um Let's see, where was I going at that? Well, so so so anyway, we learned about that the fact that you know, you can only pick your benefits one time a year. And it's November, November. First, you have all of these broker insurance brokers, HR consulting firms and HR people, everybody's scrambling, you've got to pick your choices and everything else by November the first. Well, here's the problem. This government shutdown has created a perfect storm. With open enrollment, Congress can't extend the subsidies. So people have these subsidies that they have come to rely on through Obamacare. But now that open enrollment is coming up and the government can't fund it, there's a complete disaster with respect to what's actually going on with open enrollment and what people's premiums are going to be. So Congress can't extend these. And now insurance companies are already set their rates, assuming the worst. So what this means is, twenty-four million Americans are about to get letters saying that their premiums are doubling. So this is happening right now, not someday. This is happening right now. As we move into November the first, this will be happening. So here's the immediate crisis. The enhanced subsidies will expire December the thirty first twenty twenty five. The average premium increase will be one hundred to one hundred and fourteen percent for twenty twenty six. Twenty four million Americans are losing affordable coverage and open enrollment starts November the first. So insurers are already locked into these catastrophic rates. So who gets destroyed? So let's say and by the way, one of the guests that we had in the Q&A. Last week, mentioned that he had just gotten home and had a letter that said that his insurance premiums were going to increase six hundred dollars a month. I think that this is what this is related to. I suspect if if he comes back on or whatever, we dig into this, we're going to find out that was what he was dealing with. He's dealing with these letters that are already being sent out. bracing people with what's going on with the government shutdown. So in general, a family of four making eighty thousand dollars a year, your premiums are going to go from four hundred dollars to nine hundred dollars a month. Early retirees age sixty to sixty four, your premiums will go up from fifteen hundred dollars to three thousand dollars a month. if you are middle class above four hundred percent of the poverty line zero subsidies rural americans only one insurer no options small business owners will be priced out completely so this is one of those typical too late disasters now again I'm not advocating that we bring back Obamacare. This shows you how absurd Obamacare is. And what we've actually done is we've shifted this now to the point where over half of Americans are dependent on the federal government for health care. So whereas before, you go back to the timeline here, World War II, what we're going to do is we're now all of a sudden going to take medical care out of the individual from a funding perspective, and we're going to put it to third parties. And those third parties are either going to be the government or insurers, but it was overwhelmingly insurers, because at this point, you know, not that many people were on Medicare or Medicaid in nineteen sixty five. You know, the Veterans Administration, none of these things were a huge percentage of what's going on. Now you layer on the V.A., Medicare and Medicaid, and we're at, I believe now over fifty percent of the entire country is dependent on the U.S. government for health care, which also makes the federal government, the largest purchaser of healthcare services, which influences everything. It influences what drugs get created. It influences the entirety of R&D. So don't ever claim we have free market. I see in the commen
