Reminder that Calley Means took 5 minutes to break down the past 100 years of corruption in our Medical and Food industries on Joe Rogan.
“John D. Rockefeller’s personal lawyer wrote the Flexner Report for Congress that set the standard … today for medical education.
It literally says in the binding guidelines that holistic health and nutrition … is pseudoscience. It says we need to name the condition and cut it out or prescribe it.
Rescinding the Flexner Report and having updated scientific education and standard of care guidelines based on what we’ve learned since 1909 about the majesty of the interconnectedness of our body is a really good start.
John D. Rockefeller’s lawyer wrote this personal report. Why?
Because John D. Rockefeller is the father of the pharmaceutical industry, and created pharmaceuticals from byproducts of oil production, and was the first investor in Johns Hopkins and other major medical schools.
He created Johns Hopkins and the standard of residency training as a way to silo diseases, very intentionally, and then prescribe his products and interventions as the top pharmaceutical-maker. The medical schools were basically a distribution system to him.
The medical industry saw the birth control pill in the late 1950s-1960s. The birth control pill was the first pill in world history that people took for longer than a couple weeks.
The Sackler family … created Valium, and 30% of women in the United States in the 1970s were on Valium.
We started creating all these psychiatric conditions, we started medicalizing heart disease, we started medicalizing type 2 diabetes, started creating academic research totally funded by the pharmaceutical industry.
The second the Surgeon General report saying smoking wasn’t great came out, Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds … used their cash piles, and by 1990, the three largest M&A deals were cigarette companies buying food companies.
They did two things very, very intentionally:
They took over the institutions of trust to say ultra-processed food was healthy, and then they took their scientists and rigged the food itself to make it more addictive.”
MAHA has some important debates about our 2025 priorities, but don’t let those debates slow down the historic momentum we have right now for transformative change.

Crazy Fact: Major League Baseball has been around for 147 years, and there have been a little over 23,000 players who have played a professional baseball game.
To put that in perspective, MLB's smallest stadium by capacity is Progressive Field at 37,830. Meaning if every player who's ever put on a big league uniform from 1876 to 2023 sat in the stands, the stadium would only be at 61% capacity.
“I understand how Mets fans are hurting. But while for so many people the regular season is what counts, playing in the WBC means just as much to all of us. It is the dream of every Puerto Rican ballplayer to wear Puerto Rico’s colors and to represent our country. And not only Puerto Ricans, but every player in the WBC considers being here the ultimate honor."
~ Francisco Lindor on Edwin Díaz's injury and what it means to play for your country in the #WorldBaseballClassic.
Yo no sé cuan lejos vamos a llegar en el WBC, pero después de ver este vídeo, si no se te HINCHA el corazón, no sé qué decirte.
Aquí están los que quieren estar.
Los que se bajaron a última hora, gracias por nada. ✌🏻
Doctors said after Damar Hamlin awakened last night, he asked in writing who won the game. Doctors told him: “Yes, you won. You’ve won the game of life.”
