One senator asked Kennedy if he was a “conspiracy theorist”—to which he replied with the perfect response, listing several “conspiracy theories” that turned out to be true.
An incredible thing happened when Kennedy stunned Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) into complete silence by exposing the harsh reality of America’s dire health crisis.
If you watch one moment from the hearing, make it this one.
“President Trump has asked me to end the chronic disease epidemic and make America healthy again... and that is what I’m doing.
“And if we don’t solve that problem, Senator, all of the other disputes we have about who’s paying—whether it’s insurance companies, whether it’s providers, whether it’s HMOs, whether it’s patients or families—all of those are just moving deck chairs around on the Titanic.
“Our ship is sinking. Our 60% increase in Medicaid over the past four years is the biggest budget line now, and it’s growing faster than any other. No other nation in the world has what we have here.
“No other nation has a chronic disease burden like we do. We have the highest chronic disease burden of any country in the world. During COVID, we had 16% of the COVID deaths in a country where we only have 4.2% of the world’s population. We had a higher death count than any country in the world.
“And when the CDC was asked why, they said it’s because Americans are the sickest people on earth. The average American who died from COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases. This is an existential threat—economically, to our military, to our health, and to our sense of well-being.
“And it is a priority for President Trump. And that’s why he asked me to run the agency. And if I’m privileged to be confirmed, that’s exactly what I’ll do.”
That means that provided no new animals are added to the system, then the same amount of carbon dioxide produced by livestock is actually used by plants during photosynthesis. “That’s not to say livestock has no impact on climate, but we are not adding additional warming,”
Livestock’s role in climate change is often overstated. Methane from cows is part of a short-term carbon cycle, breaking down within a decade and being reabsorbed by plants. With smaller herds producing more efficiently than ever, livestock makes sustainable use of marginal lands
To put that into context, each year 558m tons of methane is produced globally, with 188m tons coming from agriculture. Almost that entire quantity — 548m tons — is broken down through oxidation and absorbed by plants and soils as part of the sink effect.
After ten years, methane is broken down in a process called hydroxyl oxidation into CO2, entering a carbon cycle which sees the gas absorbed by plants, converted into cellulose, and eaten by livestock. To put that into context…
Land that would be unsuitable for crops. Professor Mitloehner (UC Davis) calls for honest conversations about agriculture’s true environmental impact and urges farmers to engage with public concerns to counter misinformation.
Astrophysicist/geoscientist Dr. Willie Soon:
"CO2 is the gas of life... and these people want to demonise it as some gas that can cause global warming, can cause hurricanes... more rain, more droughts, and all this other nonsense that they claim."
"And I've published scientific papers refuting all of these arguments."
'If you happen to see in the years to come that BlackRock start snapping up thousands of acres of British farmland when families are forced to sell to pay inheritance tax bills, don't be surprised!'
@benleo exposes the real reason behind Labour's farmer inheritance tax raid.
Tony Benn’s 5 key questions:
“What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you exercise it?
To whom are you accountable?
How do we get rid of you?
And if you can’t get rid of the people who govern you, you don’t live in a democratic system.”
I suspect that Tony Benn would be utterly appalled by Keir Starmer’s Labour government.
