Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey was born on Vancouver Island in 1914, in a small fishing village called Cobble Hill. Her childhood was not one of privilege, but it is said that she threw herself into reading, with a curiosity that could not be contained.
Kelsey won admission to McGill University, where she studied pharmacology. She graduated with honors and was quickly recognized by leading researchers for her meticulous attention to detail.
In the 1930s, discrimination was so baked into academia that when McGill professor E.M.K. Geiling requested a new graduate assistant, the university, assuming “Frances” was a man, sent her name. He was surprised when she arrived, but her work ethic won him over. With Geiling she helped investigate a series of tragic deaths linked to a toxic solvent in a sulfanilamide drug formulation, an early experience that shaped her lifelong insistence on drug safety.
She earned her Ph.D. in 1938 at the University of Chicago, and then a a degree in medicine in 1950, making her a dual-trained physician-pharmacologist.
The Call From Washington
In 1960, at age 45, Kelsey applied for a medical officer position at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FDA also assumed that “Frances” was a man. But they quickly learned that she was, as one coworker later said, “the toughest reviewer in the place.”
Her very first major assignment seemed routine. She was to review a new sedative widely marketed in Europe for anti-nausea in pregnancy. The drug was called thalidomide, and the review was considered a formality for approval in the United States.
The Woman Who Said No
Kelsey refused to sign off.
She noticed details that others ignored:
The company had not provided rigorous U.S. clinical trial data.
Peripheral neuropathy was showing up in European patients.
Animal studies were incomplete.
Most importantly, no one had tested it for effects on pregnancy, despite its heavy use by pregnant women.
By regulation, she could defer approval for thirty days. So as each month rolled around, she put in another deferral. For a new employee, this was a radical thing to do.
For months, the drug company pressured her: phone calls, letters, meetings, repeated complaints to her supervisors. But Kelsey held firm. She had seen what rushed approvals could do. Something about thalidomide felt wrong.
Then, in late 1961, what she feared became a reality: reports poured in from Europe and Australia of babies born with catastrophic limb deformities, a condition called phocomelia, after their mothers took thalidomide early in pregnancy.
National Recognition Came Swiftly
In 1962 President John F. Kennedy awarded her the President’s Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service, one of the highest honors a civilian can receive. Kennedy praised her refusal to bow to commercial pressure and noted that her actions had saved countless families from heartbreak.
Her work also triggered the passage of the 1962 Kefauver-Harris Amendments, which transformed the FDA and made modern drug regulation possible: requiring proof of safety and efficacy, informed consent in clinical trials, and strict oversight of advertising claims.
Unfortunately, this act was diluted by the 1997 FDA Modernization Act (FDAMA) which paved the way for modern advertising, by allowing more direct-to-consumer (DTC) broadcast ads.
A Lifelong Career in Drug Safety
Kelsey continued her work at the FDA for many decades. She led the new drug evaluation office, mentored younger scientists, and remained a fierce advocate for evidence-based medicine.
Even in her 80s, she was still teaching and reviewing cases. At age 90, she retired.
Frances Kelsey lived to be 101. She died in 2015, just two weeks after the Canadian government formally recognized her as a national hero. It only took the Canadian government 55 years to recognize her accomplishments. During her long career, she never received the Nobel Prize in Medicine, as that is reserved for discovering something new, rather than preventing harm.
She never sought fame. She never cashed in her story. She remained, throughout her life, a scientist committed to one principle: patients deserve protection, not assumptions. That informed consent is paramount for patient’s right.
So, remember to stand up and defend what is right – even in the face of tyranny. And never forget that famous Thomas Jefferson quote:
Image of Bohmite, the mineral version of the common Aluminum vaccine adjuvant known as Alum. Chemically, the crystalline aluminum oxyhydroxide AIOOH. The structure consists of corrugated sheets of aluminum octahedra.
Are all vaccines similar, and what ingredients are in vaccines?
Each approved vaccine is a unique mixture of both ingredients and manufacturing processes. From a regulatory standpoint, vaccine products are a combination of ingredients, manufacturing process, process controls (including release testing), and supporting safety and efficacy/effectiveness testing. The repeated assertion that all vaccines are safe and effective is mere propaganda. Each licensed vaccine product has its own profile of risks, benefits, pharmacology, immunology, and other characteristics.

For the sake of discussion, vaccine products can be divided into three general categories.
Live Vaccines
Classically, “live” vaccines are essentially replication-competent viruses, bacteria, or potentially other replication-competent biological material. Simple examples include the oral polio vaccine, the yellow fever vaccine, the smallpox vaccine, and the Tuberculosis vaccine (BCG). A more recent example of this category is the “Flumist” influenza virus vaccine. In all of these cases, the patient is offered a product that actually infects them in some way, but – assuming that they have a “normal” properly functioning immune system – will not cause clinical disease. If the patient is immunosuppressed in some way, all bets are off. In the case of “live” vaccines, dosage, purity, identity, and “titer” of the product are critical. To illustrate this with a simple example, if you take multiple doses of yellow fever vaccine in close succession, you will get clinical yellow fever, and it can kill you. In general, “live” vaccines are the most effective, as they most closely mimic actual infection by a pathogen. However, they do cause the cells and tissues of your body to actually manufacture foreign proteins, similar to gene therapy-based vaccines.
Dead Vaccines.
“Dead” vaccines were originally prepared by taking a “live” replication-competent agent (virus or bacteria), growing it in some sort of material that will support replication (fermentation broth, cell culture, or fertile/embryonated chicken eggs for example) and “killing” or inactivating it in some way, typically by adding a chemical that would either break up the agent into its components, or damage its genome so that it could no longer replicate. One major problem with these types of products is purity, as this category is prone to contamination coming from the material used to support replication of the pathogen. The early anthrax vaccines used by the US Military during “Desert Storm” were notoriously “dirty” or contaminated with material that had nothing to do with the parts of the killed anthrax that were intended to be included in the product. Over time, various methods have been developed to produce much purer “antigens” or immunogenic components (including the use of recombinant DNA together with fermentation and advanced purification technology), but the paradox has been that as the preparations became purer, their “immunogenicity” was reduced. Essentially, the impurities were biologically active and often increased the adaptive (and innate) immune response to the intended “antigen” from the pathogen. This relates to the topic at hand, that being the use of “adjuvants” in vaccines. A related point is that, in the case of modern “subunit” vaccines produced using recombinant DNA technology, the biologically active “antigen” is produced outside your body and then injected. This is very different from the next and newest category of vaccines and technologies.
Gene Therapy-based Vaccines
The newest (third) category involves the use of recombinant DNA and/or gene therapy technologies to cause your body to manufacture some part of a pathogen, which, when presented to your immune system by your own cells, causes your body to mount an immune response (innate and/or adaptive) to the foreign protein derived from a pathogen. In many ways, this is similar to the first category, live attenuated vaccines. In the case of live attenuated vaccines, a weakened version of the pathogen is injected (or swallowed) and it replicates in your body. In the case of gene therapy-based vaccines, either a recombinant virus (such as an adenovirus) or a non-viral gene delivery formulation (mod mRNA or DNA) is administered, and this causes your body to produce a part of the pathogen (such as the spike protein from SARS-CoV-2). Another variant of this involves engineering the vesiculovirus (VSV) to display an Ebola virus protein on its surface – this is the Merck VSV Ebola vaccine. In that case, the VSV acts both as a gene therapy vector producing a specific adaptive immune response to Ebola, and also triggers a strong innate immune response. Up for discussion in that case is which is the more important active component. The latest version of gene therapy tech used for vaccination involves self-replicating RNA vectors based on alphaviruses.
In the case of the lipid nanoparticle-delivered mod mRNA vaccines, the inclusion of small DNA fragments derived from the bacterial DNA used to make the mod mRNA is probably a form of an adjuvant, much like other adjuvants commonly used with “killed” vaccines.
Adjuvants and Vaccines
What is an adjuvant? Quite simply, a vaccine adjuvant is any substance or compound added to a vaccine to enhance the body’s immune response to the antigen (the part of the vaccine that mimics the pathogen). This broad definition underscores the “anything goes” nature of adjuvants. You can find a pretty comprehensive list of known adjuvants here. This list was compiled by vaccine experts from both DoD and NIH/NIAID who were friends of mine, back in the days when I was very involved in AIDS vaccine development. It used to be available for download on the NIH website, but has since been removed. Fortunately, I kept a copy and have now made it available for downloading. It is a bit dated, but still represents the most comprehensive summary of adjuvants that I am aware of.
Adjuvants are used by researchers and the vaccine industry to stimulate adaptive immune responses to pathogen-specific antigens. At a simplistic level, you can think of an adjuvant as something that provides a “danger signal” to the immune system, causing it to respond to a foreign molecule when it otherwise might not respond. Typical adjuvants act to increase the strength and duration of the immune response, allow lower doses of antigen to be effective (dose-sparing), broaden the immune response (e.g., against drifting viral strains), direct the type of immune response (e.g., favor antibody production or T-cell activation), and improve overall vaccine efficacy in populations with weaker responses (infants, elderly, immunocompromised).
As discussed above regarding the category of “dead” vaccines, industry experience has been that, in general, the more pure the vaccine antigen, the less active it is for eliciting a robust adaptive (B and T cell) immune response. In other words, An adjuvant is an immune-response “booster” deliberately included in some vaccines to make them work better.
General categories of adjuvants include the following:
Aluminum salts (alum) – oldest and most widely used (in many childhood vaccines like DTaP, hepatitis B)
Oil-in-water emulsions – e.g., MF59 (in some flu vaccines for elderly), AS03 (in pandemic flu vaccines)
Liposome-based – e.g., AS01 (in Shingrix shingles vaccine and some malaria vaccines)
TLR agonists – e.g., CpG 1018 (in Heplisav-B hepatitis B vaccine), MPL (in Shingrix)
Saponin-based – e.g., QS-21 (in Shingrix and some COVID/malaria vaccines)
Thanks for reading Malone News! This post is public so feel free to share it.
Various forms and formulations of aluminum salts are used as vaccine adjuvants. These preparations are among the oldest and most widely used adjuvants. These are NOT the same as powdered metallic aluminum or free aluminum ions, which ARE highly toxic to humans.
Almost every inactivated or subunit vaccine given to infants and young children contains aluminum (except pneumococcal conjugates and Hib PedvaxHIB).
Many novel or experimental adjuvants employ aluminum salts together with other agents (liposomes etc.)
Most live vaccines and modern conjugate/mod mRNA vaccines do not contain aluminum.
Clinical Syndromes associated with aluminum powder, aluminum ion or injected aluminum exposure toxicity include
Dialysis encephalopathy (dialytic dementia)
Caused by high aluminum in dialysis fluid pre-1980s
Now extremely rare due to water treatment standards
Parenteral Neonatal (PN) Aluminum Toxicity
Preterm infants exposed to 4–5 μg/kg/day IV aluminum via parenteral nutrition show neurodevelopmental and bone toxicity.
These findings led to FDA aluminum limits for parenteral nutrition solutions.
Vaccine-day aluminum doses, although differing in chemical structure from free aluminum ions, can be orders of magnitude higher per kg than PN limits.
Aluminum-induced bone disease (osteomalacia)
Seen in long-term parenteral nutrition or dialysis patients
Fracturing bone pain, hypercalcemia, resistance to vitamin D
Pulmonary fibrosis / aluminosis
From chronic intense inhalation of aluminum powder
Rare occupational disease
Macrophagic myofasciitis (MMF)
Persistent aluminum-containing granulomas at intramuscular injection sites (mostly deltoid)
Symptoms in many MMF patients: chronic myalgias, fatigue, and cognitive difficulties.
Detected in some patients with myalgia, fatigue, and cognitive issues
Causal link to systemic symptoms is not universally accepted
Muscle biopsies show aluminum-loaded macrophages (MMF lesions) at prior vaccine sites years later. This demonstrates long-term persistence of aluminum adjuvants in human tissue.
A fun fact: according to recent registration data, Washington DC records a grand total of five percent Republican voters.
So… hundreds of thousands of federal employees have effectively been forced to stop remote working in 2025 (in partial or full-time capacity).
One can just imagine what the new normal at any Federal office in DC now looks like…
This week’s most absurd headline:
YELLOW JOURNALISM
Over in Mainstream Media LA-LA land, the advocacy journalism continues. Where “journalists” are blaming President Trump for the horrific shooting of the two National Guardsmen, and writing that more National Guardsmen will be targeted, because they shouldn’t be there. Yep – liberals are blaming President Trump… Pretzel logic from the press… at this point, why should we expect anything more?
In response to the shooting, President Trump is putting 500 more National Guardsmen on duty in DC.
I for one, believe this is the correct response – This President of the United States doesn’t back down to threats and violence. Jill and I drive up to DC fairly frequently, and it certainly feels safer to us these days than before the President took action.
The bill releasing the Epstein files was not about protecting victims or predators; it was written to protect the intelligence “community.”
Honeypots are not used to trap criminals by the intelligence community. They use it for blackmail to keep politicians, whistleblowers, and other who know things they shouldn’t – silent. Honeypots are also used to gather intelligence.
The intelligence “community” uses honeypots to compromise people, not prosecute.
Congress needs to pass a bill making the use of honeypots in any way, shape, or form, by our government or other governments on our soil, illegal.
No exceptions.
These three are some of my favorite Congress people – it pains me that these are also the three pitted against my president…
MAGA needs to come together – otherwise the midterm elections will be lost.
We have more important issues to deal with at the moment.
Caveat – the video below isn’t funny, just fascinating and a bit inspiring, for those of us who own stock dogs.
In the video below, one gets to witness a “modified prey drive” and that is what working dogs are all about.
Just to say it, Kelpies aren’t for everyone; in fact, they aren’t for 99.9999% of pet owners. Maybe, they aren’t for pet owners at all and their intensity is over the top – but their talent working cattle is brilliant.
Headline news is just starting to report that the thwarted terrorist attack in Minnesota (not MN) today involves a group of young people who were plotting some form of attack with a possible reference to Halloween. Those officials say the group has ties to some form of foreign extremism…
I think we all know that plot line here, but we have to wait to say the quiet part our loud until more details emerge.

“When you realize that to produce, you must obtain permission from those who produce nothing; when you see that money flows to those who deal not in goods but in favors; when you notice that many become rich through bribery and influence rather than by their work, and that the laws do not protect you from them but, instead, they are protected from you; when you discover that corruption is rewarded and honesty becomes a form of self-sacrifice, then you can confidently say, without fear of being wrong, that your society is doomed.”
The British Medical Journal, otherwise known as BMJ, just published a peer-reviewed study titled “Who’s leading WHO? A quantitative analysis of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s grants to WHO, 2000-2024 (ref).” Note that the authors have no affiliation to BMJ, the WHO, or Bill Gates, but are academics centered in the UK.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) ranks as the World Health Organization’s (WHO) second-largest funder, providing 9.5% of WHO’s income from 2010 to 2023. This study examines how BMGF funds allocated to the WHO are spent.
Out of all the contributions from BMGF to WHO, a significant $4.5 billion, which is 82.6%, was dedicated to infectious diseases. Of this, $3.2 billion (58.9%) specifically went toward polio, even though polio accounts for only a tiny part of the overall global disease burden.
Polio is an “interesting” target for a massive vaccine campaign because it is generally not spread through the respiratory tract, but instead is spread through the fecal-oral route. The virus is shed in the stool of an infected person (even if they have no symptoms). It can contaminate drinking water, food prepared with unwashed hands as well as surfaces and objects (especially in areas with poor sanitation). Although the Ro (baseline reproduction coefficient) for polio virus is typically listed in the 5-7 range (high), that is a historical number from when sanitation practices were much different and does not reflect the realities of polio in westernized nations today. In other words, it is outdated.
The decline of polio in Western countries is closely linked not only to vaccination efforts but also to significant advances in public sanitation, water infrastructure, and hygiene habits that started many years prior and progressed alongside the introduction of vaccines. So, if the WHO and BMGF really wanted to eradicate polio, they would spend more resources building sanitation infrastructure, including clean drinking water supplies, and better septic systems. This would also dovetail nicely into the WHO’s primary mission of improving global health.
Only a small fraction of the BMGF funding to the WHO truly contributed to strengthening healthcare worldwide, combating non-communicable diseases, and tackling broader health issues. These areas are essential to the WHO’s mission and to global health.
It’s worth considering the motives behind the global push to vaccinate against polio, especially since the actual Ro is low in Westernized countries. In countries with poor sanitation, improving sanitation may have a greater impact on reducing polio cases than simply aiming to vaccinate everyone. Sometimes, addressing the root causes can be just as important as the vaccines themselves. The historic major successes in public health do not involve vaccines; they involve sanitation.
The vast majority of outbreaks are now vaccine-derived polio. Let that sink in for a moment…
Furthermore, in 2024, 289 confirmed cases of polio caused paralysis worldwide (paralytic polio is what is reported to the WHO). This suggests that the actual number of polio infections could range from 30,000 to 300,000 (at the upper limit), as the vast majority of cases remain undetected. About 95% of polio is asymptomatic, and only 0.1–1 % is paralytic (clinical poliomyelitis). The truth is that polio is not the “killer” disease that the propagandists make it out to be.
In reality, there are somewhere between 3.75 polio infections per million people to 37.5 polio infections per million people. The vast majority of these are asymptomatic.
Going a step further with these calculations, there is 1 case per 27.7 million people worldwide of paralytic polio.
The Gates Foundation’s official Annual Report 2024, which lists “Polio — $889,000,000” under Total direct grantee support (Global Development).” This reflects grants made to partners (e.g., WHO/UNICEF/GPEI implementers) and excludes operating costs and program-related investments.
Bill Gates and his foundation invested $889 million in polio eradication efforts in 2024 alone. This means that for each of the 289 cases of paralytic polio, he spent approximately $3 million per person – the vast majority of that going into the arms of children. How could this be a good investment, given the state of global health and the fact that proper sanitation and clean water not only “cures” polio but also improve almost all aspects of global health?
During an October 2025 Q&A with Rotary International, Gates emphasized his unwavering dedication to eliminating polio. He shared, “It is critical that we finish the job on polio. Eradication is the only way to make sure that continuing challenges don’t mean an ongoing risk for children today and for generations to come.”
Thinking it through does not take a genius intellect. This is an impossible goal. The reason why is embedded in the text above. THE VAST MAJORITY OF POLIO CASES ARE NOW VACCINE DERIVED! That means that the live-attenuated vaccine is infecting people with both asymptomatic and paralytic polio.
Oh, but wait! Gates and his scientific stable of paid sycophants aren’t stupid – they would have an answer for that! One might foresee the day when he will convince the WHO and organizations like GAVI to go with mRNA or other non-live attenuated viral vaccines for polio. In fact, clinicaltrials.gov lists 289 trials when the search criteria for “polio RNA vaccine” are used. Now, many of these are other novel vaccines (not RNA-based), but one must wonder how many of these clinical trials are either funded by companies in which Bill Gates holds significant shares or by the BMGF?
One has to wonder… is this really about polio?
Finally, the truth is that the WHO no longer represents its member states, and needs to be relegated to the dustbin of history. From 1948 to the 1970s, the WHO was fully funded by member states. Then, from the 1990s to the 2000s, they started accepting contributions from private foundations, NGOs and Pharma. I have direct experience with a client developing an Ebola vaccine being subjected to a shakedown for donations by the then Director of the WHO. The WHO is deeply and notoriously corrupt.
By the 2010s, over 80% of the World Health Organization’s budget was funded through voluntary contributions, with a large portion allocated to specific programs. The list of WHO’s voluntary supporters has grown to include pharmaceutical companies, philanthropic foundations, and NGO groups such as the Gates Foundation, GAVI, PATH, and the Wellcome Trust.
In 2016, WHO established the WHO Foundation, a separate fundraising organization explicitly created to accept donations from corporations and wealthy individuals, formalizing what had previously been ad hoc private donations. This foundation can now receive contributions from entities that WHO itself could not directly accept due to conflict-of-interest policies.
This is unacceptable, and it is high time that other nations joined the USA in withdrawing from the WHO, as it has become riddled with conflicts of interest.
The image of a phoenix, rising out of the ashes of the old, comes to mind. The world must evolve and leave the past behind. Global health needs a new face, with bilateral agreements being front and center of that effort.
John Kiriakou was the whistleblower who exposed the CIA torture program. For doing this, he was convicted and imprisoned for 30 months, while none of the officials who ordered or carried out torture were criminally charged under the Obama administration (or prior).
He was a former CIA officer who publicly confirmed in December 2007 that the CIA had used the torture technique known as waterboarding on the al-Qaeda suspect Abu Zubaydah. Yet he is the only CIA officer who was criminally prosecuted regarding the interrogation program. None of those involved in the illegal torture program set up by the CIA were ever charged or persecuted.
To be clear: the CIA’s post-9/11 “enhanced interrogation” or waterboarding program did not produce uniquely valuable intelligence that couldn’t have been obtained by lawful means. That conclusion has been reached by the U.S. Senate, intelligence oversight bodies, and multiple later reviews.
It is believed that Kiriakou’s prosecution was effectively a retrospective punishment for his whistle-blowing on torture. Obama decided not to prosecute any CIA officers, officials, or contractors involved in torture, his administration invoking the “look forward, not backward” doctrine. However, while declining to prosecute those who ordered or committed torture, which is illegal under the law. Obama’s Department of Justice, under Attorney General Eric Holder, went after John Kiriakou, using the 1917 Espionage Act, a law originally designed to punish spies. Yep- basically more lawfare.
This has effectively silenced other whistleblowers within the government who might have come forward during Biden’s authoritarian regime.
Never forget – The Biden administration persecuted those who were in Trump 1.0 when he came to power.
Can you imagine what would have happened if Kamala had become president?
The only thing that saved our country was President Trump’s re-election. Having spent too much time in Europe lately, I can attest to how bad these far-left regimes have become.
The authoritarian, globalist, far-left regimes that have gained control of so many nations and the European Union are out of control. We were a hair’s breadth away from it happening here.
Thank God for Trump 2.0.
In the meantime, whistleblowers Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and John Kiriakou are all still presidential pardon hopefuls. Time will tell.
So, the newspapers were full of “no-kings” protest stories this morning.
The shocking thing about the coverage was how they completely missed the part that Soros-backed organizations largely funded these events, and all those protesters were far-left. You would think that it was everyday Americans out protesting – instead of the far-left socialists, progressives, and social justice “warriors.”
Not a mention in the press of Biden’s tyranny, or Harris’ stolen primary, or the hypocrisy of the protestors. Because the truth is:
True Story:
Halloween is coming –
“Good morning, and welcome to the War Department, because the Department of Defense is over”
Socialists, Marxists, Progressives, reproductive rights activists, teachers’ union members, Antifa,, and assorted anti-American activists march today, chanting “NO KINGS.”
Because for the first time in our history, we have a president who refuses to be cowed by the deep state, lobbyists, and corporatists. Who will not let the far-left bully him into submission. Who is actually bringing our government back in line with what is written in the Constitution.
Who is actually doing what he was elected to do, that is, LEAD THE PEOPLE!
Under King Biden, of course, things were different <insert sarcasm>.
Does anyone else remember the democrats’ last primary? Oh snap – they didn’t allow a primary to happen!
Then who remembers the following tyranny, that was all done –
“FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!”
Mask mandates for years after any threat was gone – No Kings!
Social distancing – 6’ feet apart to make you safe for how many years? – No Kings!
Censorship and propaganda via government agencies, such as CISA – No Kings!
Censorship and propaganda funded by the US government – No Kings!
Lockdowns – No Kings!
No early treatments for a respiratory disease allowed – No Kings!
School closures for years on end – No Kings!
Mandatory vaccinations – No Kings!
No religious exemptions – No Kings!
No medical exemptions – No Kings!
Stay inside – No Kings!
They shut small businesses down, but big box stores like Walmart, as well as bars, strip joints, and casinos stayed open – No Kings!
No church services – No Kings!
Hotline to tattle on your neighbors – No Kings!
No large family gatherings – No Kings!
Compliance was compulsory – No Kings!
Well, all of this didn’t feel like “for my own good” to me!
But that was then, and this was now.
And the very people who supported Biden’s authoritarian regime are the very same ones protesting. Teachers’ unions, Federal workers unions, the ACLU, atheists, progressives, pro-abortion activists, socialists, climate change activists, etc. The list goes on and on.
The No Kings Day organizers even have their own website, with various tools to promote social unrest, and numerous progressive organizations are funding these protests.
The list of funders is a “who’s who” of progressive, social justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion NGOs.
One of the main funders of the No Kings Protests is a group called Indivisible. According to InfluenceWatch, Indivisible has received significant funding (over US $7.6 million) from the Open Society Foundations since 2017.
George Soros founded a network of Open Society Foundations in 1979.
The Open Society Foundations (OSF) reports more than US $22 billion in assets.
Planned Parenthood is also a large sponsor of the No Kings protests, and Open Society Foundations has given them tens of millions of dollars in the last decade, although an exact dollar amount is not known.
These are just two examples of the vast complex of millions of dollars that George and Alex Soros have poured into making these protests happen.
As an example, Jim Walsh tracked down the money trail of the No Kings protests in Washington State:
But who is attending these marches?
Well, it appears that it is mostly white-haired people… or at least, we know that is who attended them in the last go around.
Along with a few blue-haired people:
Of course, how much is Antifa involved?
According to Grok – the above video appears to be real footage from today’s “No Kings” protest in New York City.
Never forget – Peter Navarro was shackled (handcuffs + leg irons) and perp walked for refusing to testify against President Trump – which at most, is a misdemeanor and MSM didn’t have a problem with that. At that time he was 72 years old (turning 73 a month later). He was not given a chance to voluntarily surrender. He then persecuted by the Biden adminsitration and served four months in jail.
Steve Bannon was also subjected to prosecution/persecution and served time in jail for not testifying against J6 and President Trump.
These men are heroes for standing up against a corrupt justice system.
Never forget this shameful episode of American history.
“Hell had three doors. In two rooms Hitler and Stalin sat listening to an ugly harpy forever. . Third room Comey sits with Taylor Swift. I said Now wait a minute ,this is how Comey is being punished.? Satan replied Who said Comey’s the one being punished?”

“There are two kinds of people in this world, those who fall off of horses and those who don’t ride…”
In my opinion, the above quote can be applied to many endeavors in life.
On Tuesday, a Portuguese official came to our farm to inspect our young stallion, Quartz. We are super thrilled to announce that our homebred APSL (Lusitano) stallion Quartz CAL scored 73.8 on inspection and has been approved for breeding. That score is excellent – and getting him scored is the culmination of six years of work by not just Jill and I, but many people who have helped on the farm, helped train, provided veterinary care, hoof care and more.
It truly takes a village to create such a horse, and we are grateful to so many people.
As “senior citizens,” Jill and I remain committed to running a farm and homestead, as well as riding regularly.
We choose to ride, but whatever your exercise, staying active is key to staying healthy.
On a personal note, the last couple of days have been brutal, with a lot of air travel and long road trips, including a drive from Austin to Dallas. Jill goes back home this evening, and I fly home tomorrow night.
Jill and I are girding our loins for the next four or five weeks – the travel schedule is heavy and leaves us very little time at home.
In October, we travel to Brussels for me to speak in the European Parliament at the Make Europe Healthy Again Conference.
Then we travel to the Netherlands to speak at a Scientific Conference.
Here we go again. Even former President Obama is jumping into the Tylenol/Acetaminophen controversy. Everyone is suddenly an expert, and every statement about public health must be politically weaponized. Suppose you had any doubt that Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing. In that case, all you need to do is watch the Instagram reels of left-wing pregnant women downing large doses of Tylenol, which is a high-speed route to the emergency room promptly followed by a potential rather unpleasant death from liver failure. Quod erat demonstrandum (QED).
And by the way, even way back in the day when I was an MD/PhD (Medical Research Scholar Training Program) student at Northwestern University in Chicago, we were taught to be on the lookout for suicide by Tylenol overdose. Whatever you may think of Northwestern U (now rather woke…), it was ranked in the top tier of US Medical Schools at the time, primarily due to its exceptional clinical training.
Note to those suffering from TDS- do not overdose on Tylenol. Tylenol overdose can kill you. How does it kill? By depleting a key molecule called glutathione, which is involved in the biochemical pathway by which Acetaminophen (eg Tylenol) is metabolized (broken down), which happens primarily in the liver. Like all drugs (and vaccines), Tylenol is toxic when taken in sufficient doses that exceed the “therapeutic window”.
The only question is whether or not the FDA has previously defined that “therapeutic window” too broadly. And, in the case of the developing brain, data suggest a strong risk that, in fact, the FDA has been too promiscuous in its Tylenol dosing guidance. For the most part, epidemiological analyses suggesting otherwise appear to have been compromised by previously unrecognized and unaccounted-for confounding variables. I am running a few minutes late; my previous meeting is running over.
Sound familiar?
The FDA and US HHS are now moving to correct that longstanding oversight. POTUS, who has a deep, longstanding, 20 year personal interest in Autism and ASD, has announced this shift in FDA policy and guidance in a press conference. And both dead media and their clients have mounted an aggressive campaign to attack and delegitimize the messengers. But unlike propaganda and marketing, data and actual objective clinical/scientific research are stubborn things.
For budding, wannabe or armchair Biochemists and Pharmacologists, here are the gory details:
Acetaminophen metabolism occurs primarily in the liver through three main pathways: glucuronidation (accounting for 45-55% of metabolism), sulfation (30-35%), and cytochrome P450-mediated oxidation, mainly by CYP2E1, which produces the highly reactive toxic intermediate N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI). At therapeutic doses, NAPQI is rapidly detoxified by conjugation with glutathione (GSH), forming non-toxic metabolites excreted in the urine. However, during overdose, the glucuronidation and sulfation pathways become saturated, leading to increased oxidation and NAPQI formation, which depletes hepatic GSH stores; unbound NAPQI then covalently binds to cellular proteins, causing oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and hepatocyte necrosis.
Metabolism and transport of acetaminophen in the liver at highly toxic doses. After ingestion of highly toxic doses of acetaminophen, glucuronidation and sulfation pathways get saturated and higher portion of the drug gets oxidized and excreted unchanged. Excess NAPQI depletes glutathione stores causing liver injury. Administration of NAC provides an exogenous source of glutathione that will neutralize NAPQI and prevent further hepatotoxicity. Enzymes playing a major role in the corresponding pathway are denoted with a star. APAP, acetaminophen; APAP gluc, acetaminophen glucuronide; APAP-cys, acetaminophen cysteine; NAPQI, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine; NAC, N-acetylcysteine.

What is Leucovorin?
What is this drug that the FDA and NIH are endorsing as a potential treatment for some cases of Autism/Autism Spectrum disorder (ASD)? Leucovorin is otherwise known as Folinic acid. It is basically a synthetic vitamin, chemically and pharmacologically related to the vitamin known as Folic acid or B9.
Once again, for budding, wannabe or armchair Biochemists and Pharmacologists, here are the gory details:
Folic acid and folate differ significantly in their chemical structure. Folic acid is the fully oxidized, synthetic form of vitamin B9, existing as a monoglutamate, meaning it contains only one glutamate residue. In contrast, naturally occurring folates in food are predominantly in the reduced form and exist as polyglutamates, containing multiple glutamate residues (typically more than one). The pteridine ring in folic acid is fully oxidized, which contributes to its high stability, whereas natural folates have a reduced pteridine ring that is chemically less stable and more susceptible to degradation by heat, oxidation, and light. Furthermore, folic acid is not found in nature and is not a normal metabolite, while folate is the generic term for a group of compounds with similar nutritional properties, including natural food folates and bioactive reduced forms. The chemical structure of folic acid consists of a pterin ring conjugated to para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) by a methylene bridge, which is then linked to a single glutamic acid residue via a peptide bond.
Adequate levels of folate are necessary to support fetal and child neurodevelopment. Administration of Folinic acid to a subset of children with ASD can result is marked improvements in ASD symptoms, including overall cognitive and communication function.
As mentioned, Folinic acid has been clinically observed to provide benefits to a subset of patients suffering from ASD.
Here are some references that you (or Dead Media narrative reinforcers masquerading as “reporters” ) might wish to review-
Sun C, Zou M, Zhao D, Xia W, Wu L. Nutrients. 2016 Jun 7;8(6):337. doi: 10.3390/nu8060337. PMCID: PMC4924178
Apparently these findings are supported by expert opinion and research at the NIH. Notice anything about these publications and journals? These findings are not being published in ‘big” journals. Despite the growing incidence and prevalence of ASD, this basic and clinical research area has been treated as if any research or findings relating to ASD diagnosis and treatment are outside the Overton window of allowable medical and scientific discourse.
Why, you ask? Good question. I do not have a good answer. “Ask your doctor”.
How are glutathione and folic acid related to neurodevelopment?
Glutathione and folic acid are both closely tied to neurodevelopment, although through different yet interconnected biochemical pathways. Folic acid fuels the methylation cycle and supplies precursors for glutathione, while glutathione safeguards the developing brain from oxidative stress. Together, they form a biochemical partnership essential for healthy neurodevelopment.
Tylenol depletes the body’s reserves of glutathione by the mechanisms discussed above. At sufficient doses, this can cause death. At sublethal doses in infants and the developing fetus, reduction in available glutathione can result in neurodevelopmental damages.
Commonly recommended prenatal folic acid administration during pregnancy improves outcomes partly because it supports both methylation for neurodevelopment and glutathione production for oxidative balance. Low glutathione levels have been observed in some children with neurodevelopmental disorders, and boosting folate/related nutrients (B12, B6, betaine) can sometimes improve redox balance. There are currently active investigations into whether supporting folate-dependent glutathione pathways can reduce neurodevelopmental risk in susceptible populations.
Folic Acid in Neurodevelopment
DNA synthesis & repair: Folic acid (vitamin B9) is crucial for one-carbon metabolism, which provides methyl groups needed for DNA synthesis and repair during rapid cell division in the developing brain.
Neural tube closure: Adequate folate in early pregnancy prevents neural tube defects (like spina bifida and anencephaly). This is why folic acid supplementation is universally recommended before and during pregnancy.
Methylation & gene regulation: Folate supports S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) production, the body’s main methyl donor, which regulates gene expression via DNA and histone methylation. Epigenetic regulation is vital for brain development and function.
Glutathione in Neurodevelopment
Master antioxidant: Glutathione protects developing neurons from oxidative stress, which is especially high in the brain due to rapid growth and high oxygen consumption.
Detoxification: It helps remove reactive oxygen species and toxic byproducts that, if left unchecked, can impair neuronal migration, synapse formation, and myelination.
Redox regulation: Beyond antioxidant defense, glutathione influences redox signaling that guides normal neuronal differentiation and survival.
The Link Between Folic Acid and Glutathione
Shared pathway: one-carbon metabolism
Folate metabolism produces homocysteine. Homocysteine can either be remethylated back to methionine (with folate/B12 help) or enter the transsulfuration pathway, where it ultimately contributes to glutathione synthesis.
In other words, folate status indirectly determines how much raw material is available for glutathione production.
Balance of methylation vs. antioxidant defense: The body must allocate one-carbon units between methylation (epigenetics, DNA synthesis) and glutathione (redox protection). Both are critical for neurodevelopment.
Deficiency links: Low folate can raise homocysteine and impair glutathione synthesis, leading to both oxidative stress and disrupted epigenetic programming—factors implicated in conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, developmental delay, and neural tube defects.
Those are just the facts, Ma’am. And by the way, neither Obama during this three terms as POTUS/shadow POTUS nor his HHS “leadership”, did nothing substantial about autism and ASD, and he has absolutely no medical training. That is also a fact.
Now there is an issue that Dead Media narrative reinforcers SHOULD be looking into.
