Some of the biggest pharmacies in America are facing lawsuits over the placement of non FDA approved homeopathic medicines. Okay. Why, why don't you pick this up. It's, it's, um, you know, there was a whole push maybe 15 years ago, homeopath is going to replace, is gonna replace chemical medicine. Right?
Yeah.
Explain homeopath a little bit so people can understand what we're talking about.
Well, we're talking about things obviously that are not approved by the FDA. Not necessarily, you know, vitamins and supplements of that nature. But we're talking about the things that are, you know, boost your brain health, those kinds of things. You know, take this for your, for your asthma. It's all natural. It's gonna make you feel better without having to, you know, use these dangerous pharmaceuticals. And of course that does appeal to people because you of all people know how dangerous pharmaceuticals can be, and the public is aware of that too. And plus they don't wanna pay the big prices. The problem is, it is the Wild West out there with this homeopathic medicine. There, there's virtually no regulations. We do have instances where one of these supplements that was sold by Walmart, CVS, all these places was killing infants.
Yeah.
Killing infants because it had deadly nightshade in it. So these are a very real problem and this.
There's nobody looking over their shoulders.
Right.
Nobody, I mean, you know, you put it out there, you know, this is good for your brain. Well, okay, you take a year's worth and it destroys your kidneys or your liver or, or causes some type of heart defect. Everybody's asleep on it. So CVS says, this is what the public wants. So we're gonna put it up next to a medicine that suggests that this homeopathic drug, this homeopathic thing, has the same efficacy and safety as this chemical produced pharmaceutical.
Right.
And as much as, you know how much I hate the pharmaceutical industry.
Yeah.
There's very few people that you will meet that have such disdain for the pharmaceutical industry. They at least are under some protection from the standpoint of somebody's kind of looking over their shoulder, the FDA, sometimes.
A little bit. Yeah.
A little bit. Homeopathic, none at all.
Right. And, and it is all about the display. That's what these companies are facing the lawsuits over saying, you put it right there, you know, this homeopath headache remedy right next to the ibuprofen. You put all these things next to the digestive health medicine that have no guarantees. And we know, you know, you've seen documents about the placement of these products. We saw it with JUUL. We saw it with talc.
Yes, yes, yes.
The placement of these products in these very stores.
It's part of the marketing.
It is.
It's, it's what, and so they know they can sell more homeopathic because it's cheaper. And they know that they're not gonna be held responsible if somebody does die. They didn't manufacture the product. But the way that they're marketing, they're very aware of what they're doing here.
The CIA has launched a new podcast to help spread prop, propaganda about their agency. This is, this is the CIA's effort to whitewash the idea that, yeah, we, we did kill Allende. Yeah, we did, we did kill Diem. We've, we've, we've carried out all these assassinations. We've put coups in place all over the world. And oh, by the way, now we're messing with American politics. Now that, that one, that one gets real close to home. Whether, you know what I've, I think Trump was, honest to God, he was just a horrible, horrible person and politician. And I have worked everything I can do to, to, to, to, to defeat him in that effort. But I've also been conscious when the CIA gets involved in presidential politics in the United States, that's very dangerous.
