One of the most vital issues of all is the matter of “trusting the science”. It is inevitable that we all rely on what we are told has been “scientifically proven”. But, mountains of evidence proves that the world of science has been deeply corrupted, yet the majority of the public do NOT realize this critically important fact. It is a tragic mistake to believe what we are told regarding the most important aspects of our lives. Please do NOT blindly trust the “settled science”, the corrupted medical establishment, or heavily controlled corporate media.. Honest scientists and doctors have bravely warned of this systemic corruption, but most people have never heard anything other than what the corrupt establishment wants them to hear.

1. Dr. Marcia Angell, Editor in Chief of the New England Medical Journal (NEMJ),

“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine”

2. Dr. Richard Horton, the current editor-in-chief of the Lancet – considered to be one of the most well respected peer-reviewed medical journals in the world.

“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.”.. ..“Journals have devolved into information laundering operations for the pharmaceutical industry”

3. Dr. Herbert L. Ley Jr, former Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration

“The FDA protects the big drug companies, and is subsequently rewarded, and using the government’s police powers, they attack those who threaten the big drug companies.  People think that the FDA is protecting them.  It isn’t.  What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks it is doing are as different as day and night.”

4. Dr. Raeford Brown, chair of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Committee on Analgesics and Anesthetics

“Congress is owned by pharma.”

5. A group calling itself CDC Scientists Preserving Integrity, Diligence and Ethics in Research, or (CDC SPIDER), put a list of complaints in writing in a letter to CDC Chief of Staff. The members of the group have elected to file the complaint anonymously for fear of retribution.

“It appears that our mission is being influenced and shaped by outside parties and rogue interests… and Congressional intent for our agency is being circumvented by some of our leaders. What concerns us most, is that it is becoming the norm and not the rare exception,” the letter states. “These questionable and unethical practices threaten to undermine our credibility and reputation as a trusted leader in public health.”

6. Dr. John P. A. Ioannidis, Editor-in-chief, European Journal of Clinical Investigation (2010 - Present)

“most current published research findings are false.”

7.  Dr William Thompson Senior Scientist at the CDC (Center for Disease Control),

“I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism. Decisions were made regarding which findings to report after the data were collected, and I believe that the final study protocol was not followed.”

8. Assistant Professor Ray Moynihan , one of the leaders of The BMJ's campaign:

“When we want to decide on a medicine or a surgery, a lot of the evidence we used to inform that decision is biased," "It cannot be trusted. Because so much of that has been produced and funded by the manufacturers of those healthcare products.”

9. Dr. Fiona Godlee, editor of the BMJ,  

"I think we have to call it what it is. It is the corruption of the scientific process.”

10. Susanna Rees, an editorial assistant with a medical writing agency until 2002

'Medical writing agencies go to great lengths to disguise the fact that the papers they ghostwrite and submit to journals and conferences are ghostwritten on behalf of pharmaceutical companies and not by the named authors,' she wrote. 'There is a relatively high success rate for ghostwritten submissions - not outstanding, but consistent.'

11. Sydney Brenner, winner Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2002.

“And of course all the academics say we’ve got to have peer review. But I don’t believe in peer review because I think it’s very distorted and as I’ve said, it’s simply a regression to the mean…..I think peer review is hindering science. In fact, I think it has become a completely corrupt system.”

12. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor at Stanford University Medical School, a physician and epidemiologist

“when people say follow the science, what I’ve seen is they often mean censor scientists who don’t agree with some scientists…the people who are sort of controlling policy.” 

13. Kamran Abbasi, executive editor British Medical Journal

“Science is being suppressed for political and financial gain. Covid-19 has unleashed state corruption on a grand scale, and it is harmful to public health.”

The pinnacle of utter nonsense was transforming grocery store aisles into one ways. Much to the chagrin of the panic stricken Charmin seekers, I ignored the demands.

how can a mother accept $3000 to traffic her own daughter? she should be charged along with the CNN creep (who should be locked up forever).

My heart goes out to Chris, the Navy Seal.

How I see it is, God gave me the gifts of heart, mind, body, and soul. I will protect my one vehicle for life. I can recognize flawed science, and unethical actions and behavior. I will honor the gifts God gave me, by using them, valuing them, and protecting them the best of my ability. I will try to instill these same values in my children, and also anyone willing to listen.

Change may be happening, but as we have observed it is slow. Keep fighting the good fight, keep trying to inform people, but at the same time prepare your lifeboat. It's going to one heck of a ride.

The big announcement by Trump that was just some $99 digital superhero cards was REALLY bad. It's a major debacle.

Just seems out of touch and myopic when we've been screwed on 2020 and 2022 and the covid mandates... and he's doing this. If his march toward 2024 gets derailed, it's possible this event precipitates it.

I recently sent a jab-happy friend some info about a supplement that purportedly helps with "long covid" (which he thinks he has) and vaccine injuries (which I think is more likely). His first question: "Is it peer reviewed?" 🤦 Mind firmly shut, his religion is science, and he can't see how corrupt and failed his god really is.

YES!

"That is: peer review is not in fact a quality control; it is just a way for establishment scientists to police and enforce orthodox narratives."

I learned this back in the Obama years when I went down the rabbit hole after reading about a handful of scientists whose careers were ruined when they pushed back against the climate change narrative. Recall 'science deniers' was tossed about frequently by the Obama administration at anyone who was not buying what they were selling about 'global warming'.

And The Lancet, if I recall correctly, was one of the journals who had to issue a retraction in 2020.

I actually considered a career in science when I was in HS. Glad I went another way, I would have been fired a lot.

Jeff - you make an excellent point about Trump’s free speech announcement. While I agree 100% with the policy he’s promoting, his instinct to get there via executive order rather than standing on the Constitution is a serious flaw. We are a Constitutional Republic not a ‘Democracy’.

As many have said it is either Christ or chaos. Not just for our country but for the whole earth. Our personal lives, our communities must turn to Him. No other entity is going to fix, save, renew this world we live in.

I'm with Elon on this. I don't know what I would have done if it had been my child in the car.

Thanks for the explanation of the peer reviewed stuff. It’s so sad we cannot trust any of them. It’s all tainted with money, fame and control. No wonder the Bible says LOVE of money is the root of all evil. It corrupts everything and most people.

I’m labeled a nut job because I sound off my rocker for saying hospitals, media, all government officials, CDC and all alphabet agencies are corrupt and in on “it”. The general population can’t fathom that ALL of these are corrupt and tainted. They can’t wrap their heads around how they are all intertwined and basically incestuous. We sound like the nut jobs, but we are actually the sane ones.

1918 Spanish flu: people were forced to mask. More people died from bacterial pneumonia than the flu. Masks are nasty.

Well winter has finally struck here in the Daytona area. We woke up to a crisp 58 this morn. We'll have to upgrade from our normal flip flops to our fur-lined flip flops. Wearing a long-sleeve T-shirt too!

darn it Jeff! why do you make me angry with your awesome newsletters!!??!??! The entire peer-reviewed BS, sane people during the madness were screaming about not trusting those peer reviewed, it was all money and interests, lab coats playing scientists on TV. And here you are dropping more verifiable information and no one outside of the C&C readers and other people that do their own....God forbid.... "own research" will only know about.

Ugh, I hate it, the entire world has been played and everyone just locked themselves up, masked up, stayed away from family and friends and lastly accepted the fact that a miracle injection was going to save the world.

There's obvious cynical sarcasm in this post - Thanks for all the info you share with us <3

I am a PhD student hoping to contribute to the field of research. In school we are required to cite only peer reviewed articles. It’s sad because being in the nutrition field this can be challenging since many journals don’t want you to know about a food, herb or supplement that may be more useful than a drug. I feel like everything people believe in is built on lies, just damming lies.

Re: Trump’s announcement…It’s sad to me that Trump has been reduced to cheap theater in an attempt to remain relevant. I voted for him, I thought he accomplished much good for our country. But the endless “huge” announcements are becoming pathetic. He is powerless at this point, and if this latest stunt was an attempt to counter the actions of Governor DeSantis - it was total failure. He is beginning to look like a perpetual victim of bad advice.
