So much in this to expand on, much bigger adversaries to focus on. But the betrayal inside the ranks of the health freedom movement that so many people involved feel about Mercola compels me to address his enterprise first. I take it for granted that AAP, AMA, all of the institutional MIC are evil and corrupt by nature. Mercola came at me from a blind spot, inside 'our' own ranks.

One of the easiest, truest, fastest ways to truth is following the money. And the money with regards to Mercola is in his Natural Health Partners enterprise.

Mercola CEO Laura Berry listed with both.

Natural Health Partners is what Mercola started with his old Chicago suburb practice, Natural Health Center:

Natural Health Partners is the entity that actually sells Mercola products, handles recalls of them:

Following the money, on page 92 of the Florida Lobbying Disclosure, Total Compensation you'll find Natural Health Partners, LLC pays $100,000 annually to Ballard Partners. One of Florida's top lobbying firms:

Ballard Partners. A literal army of lobbyists in Tallahassee, representing the biggest of the big corporate entities, local governments, monied interests in the state. Ranked #2:

Susie Wiles and Pam Bondi worked for Ballard Partners:

While at Ballard Partners Susie Wiles even represented a Venezuelan media interest, tied to Chavez and Maduro:

Represents among hundreds of clients:

Amazon

Major League Baseball

Meta Platforms

And MIC clients like:

AstraZeneca

Bayer

GlaxoSmithKline

Walgreen Company

And dozens of MIC hospitals, pHARMa, health industry providers

THIS is the money that Mercola is connected to via his lobbying voice in Florida, perhaps other states, DC. One can legitimately argue that hiring the most powerful lobbyists in Florida, DC and even globally is smart strategy, business decision. But I can tell you for certain, the lobbyists representing those other interests will NOT protect Mercola's business, values above their other clients. Conflict of interests abound. At best they will find accommodation, compromise, negotiate terms of surrender for the natural health industry, voice and values of Mercola. And convince their client that doing so is the best deal he'll get in public policy. Meaning Mercola is destined to be a compromised entity in the health freedom world. Follow. The. Money.

Nicely done summary. The Medical Industrial Complex is capitalism at its finest: profit above all else. Its total disregard for human life and suffering makes it Satanic indeed. The Devil feeds on pain and fear and thus he has grown stronger and bolder. His servants, the butchers in the white coats, the experts from Academia, the politicians who take the money and all the other Devil's Minions who pretend to serve the people are willfully blind. But we the people also have to take some responsibility. We have outsourced our health to the MIC instead of taking charge of it ourselves. We have been easy marks for convenience foods, and that injection poison is going to make us healthy, and that exercise is to be avoided if possible. Take a pill, and that will make the pain go away. The easy way has turned out to be the hard way. Our bodies are marvelous creations which tell us all the time what needs to be fixed if we listen. Symptoms are warnings that we need to go deeper. When we take the time for wellness we don't have to take the time for illness.
