I am glad to see you exposing the lies and hypocrisy of government. It is downright misleading, at best. Murderous in its natural form. Thanks, Russell, for all you do. You put yourself on the chopping block so folks like me, who are not worthy, can make better decisions for our lives. And we can see thru government and corporate bs more easily. Thanks!
As usual, Russell is right on and courageous with this list of public manipulation for pharmaceutical profit. On cholesterol I could add further support of non-narrative cholesterol points, having been a member of a 1952-1957 US gov’t study on the subject which wrapped up at an Aerospace Medical Research Center with a one week set of medical, mental, physical stress tests. For some time afterwards, the lead scientist would call me regularly to discuss findings, thoughts, etc. Long time ago, but one thing I remember him telling me, the cholesterol number is meaningless. Over years I’ve learned that generally higher is better, e.g., longer life, lower is worse, e.g., earlier death, suicides, cancer risk, etc., and not a cause of heart disease or attacks.
You just gained another reader with "For decades it has recommended a food pyramid diet that ensures obesity and diabetes, which are now at epidemic levels in America. Another whoops."
Exactly! I keep asking people what their basis is for believing any message from Big Pharma ? (as we know, mass media and government are only mouthpieces for Big Pharma messages). Trust and respect are EARNED, not granted automatically, based upon...nothing. The past experiences, in fact, prove we should NOT trust or believe anything they say...quite the opposite. I wish people would open their eyes and minds.
I trust and believe everything anyone or anything anyone or any source even suggests. You have some nerve, Buster, to attempt to halt my hallucinations.

Thanks ! Right on Russell. Tell it like it is...
Beautiful summation, Russell. I took a similar tack in this piece:
• “Letter to US Legislators: #DefundTheThoughtPolice” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-us-legislators-defundthethoughtpolice)
Perfect summary, Russell.
