I’m a doctor, as black-pilled as they come now, unfortunately. My instinct is: “too big, too fast.” Dr Jack Kruse has written a lot about them on X.

Their names were absolutely nowhere the past five years, and their father Grady Means is apparently a big wig at the Rockefeller Foundation and Trilateral Commission. Their own connections to Sergei Brin’s sister in law, Booz Allen (where NSA “whistleblower” Snowden also worked… Snowden’s grandfather was a senior FBI guy), and just how great and cool and amazing for two unknowns to just somehow connect a Kennedy to the future President of the USA! What luck! “Hey, there’s someone I think you should meet. It just happens to be this billionaire with a heart of gold who just really, really cares.”

It’s all just a psyop. I wish I could be more blue-eyed and hopeful but I think the una-party is way, way ahead of us.

I feel exactly the same way about them. You articulated it so well. I’ve been carefully following both the informed consent movement and the metabolic health movement for many years. I know who the experts are. Then these two appear out of nowhere. Where were they during Covid?

Thank you for a great article. I am deeply suspicious of them - their rapid rise and their "being everywhere".

Particularly concerning for me is it seems to still be about putting your power in someone else's hands and buying/being sold more stuff. You don't need a CGM to get or be healthy! Eat wholefoods, prepare them yourself - that's food covered!

Very concerning to me is anything the pushes vaccines off the agenda or even obscures them. My family has multiple vaccine-injured members.

I’m sorry to hear about your vaccine-injured family members. It’s one of the things that makes all of this feel so high stakes. But I feel a little better knowing more of us are paying attention.

Thanks. Yup, COVID woke me up (eventually! - took me a while!). I also feel a little better knowing more of us are paying attention. But it's disheartening that so few people I know have woken up.

Thanks for all your work.

I should say that we were very very lucky, exceptionally lucky - both family members have been largely able to recover. (We're still on the journey - I anticipate full recovery).

But of course, no one wants to know the truth - not family, not doctors, not countless therapists, no one in fb support groups). Needless to say, they have no explanation for the profound changes, they are confounded by them.

Dr Christopher Exley's work was significant - silica water. Forever grateful to him.

Oh wow Ann! Fantastic article. I’ve been watching with caution and curiosity. Very refreshing to see/read your take on this. Yes, having been involved for over 20 years myself now, it’s beyond interesting to see what’s happening.

I think what got me the most (and caused the most suspicion) is the absolute sidelining of mothers. All of us who had to create and carve these new paths at huge risk to ourselves and our families. Suddenly swiped aside with the excitement (???) of these brand new voices.

I watch with trepidation.

Excellent article, and I think you're spot on. I have heard of them for a few years, but I don't believe they are ready for 'prime time', regardless. I feel like we're jumping at the shiny new toy.

I just saw a clip of Casey who was invited onto Bill Maher. Imagine a Trump supporter being cheered by his TDS audience? It’s true that no one is opposed to better health for all, but why is the discussion limited to just the poison in food? I doubt if Maher would ever have someone like Sharyl Atkisson on who’s been in the trenches for decades and isn’t afraid to speak truth to power about much that the cult holds sacrosanct. Just my two cents for what it’s worth.

Yes. This is what I'm finding so unsettling. It feels engineered. Like a campaign of its own. What is this campaign that all media is getting behind as the BigAg is scrambling to oppose RFK? https://x.com/AV24org/status/1859703059066257705

Ann, Thank you for penning this. Fond memories and profound appreciation for Gary Null & Dr.Andy Wakefield back in the day when raising a family and fortunate enough to have a DO for the little ones. Who would listen. We truly need to raise the pioneers to the for front and give them the praise they deserve; Mercola, Tenpenny etc. They have been on the path for much longer then the new found “hero’s”

Things are so insurmountable for parents of young children today to advocate for choice it makes my head spin.

With that perhaps I’’am a Pollyanna… I do not trust any of these new found “advocates” springing up on “the scene” But i will, for now look at this as a way to wake people up. If Big Ag is lying about our food, what is Big Pharma lying about?

Not sure about Means.

They said with Tucker that "pre diabetes" has sky rocketed.

WTF is this disease that never used to exist. Create a disease, create a drug.

Diabetes, is a compensation mechanism of the body. 93% of the modern medicine diseases are mitochondrial dysfunction/disregulation and the body is try to compensate, with whatever limited resources it has available to it.😐

The biggest thing that disturbs mitochondria- the wrong light, $#!!@ water, and low level EMR.😐🤔🤨

Now does it make sense why they pour thousands $$$ into obesity, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's, etc? Because its easier to say it's your fault than change government policies on the water, telecommunications, agricultural, and medical industries. Especially the largest- the first two. Isn't it a relief to know we have new "teams" to save the day, by fixing the smaller industries😉

> Because it's easier to say it's your fault than change government policies...

That is such an important point from my experience. Without exception, any time that I have had any experience with western medical doctors, it has always -- no exception -- been a hunt for the things they can blame on me as to why their approach to "healthcare" doesn't change anything.

And I see them doing that with other people I know. The difference there is that I know better and they do not. They walk away with a list of pharmaceuticals as long as your arm, with corresponding drug interaction issues, with no actual hope of that ever changing and telling themselves "it's all my fault this stuff doesn't work" but then keep asking for more.

I have never, since my earliest days as an adult on my own, ever been satisfied with the idea of, "here take these drugs for the rest of your life, and come back to see when we add more to the list." Never. How do people accept that? I just can't do it.

Because of predictive programming, since 1920s, and before. The public's perception has been steadily manipulated to assume blame from companies/governments policies.

Prior to 1920s it was the banking system-public didn't know how to keep their money safe, then flexnor report, blaming public for not knowing the science and using their "folk mddicines". Then cannabis war in 1920s. Then WW2, blaming the public for not being brave/strong/committed enough, for not wanting to be involved. In massacres/foreign policy. Then green revolution- public didn't want left over war chemicals used on their food, so they were told they were stupid and didn't know how to "modern farm". Then "plastic revolution", Vietnam, drugs, corporatocracy, "climate change", Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, GMOs....ad nauseam. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Now we have come full circle and we are back to banks (CBDCs) and medicines (mRNAs and samRNAs), and your STILL being told that it's YOUR fault, because stupid!

😐🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Thank you for digging-in here, as I have been watching the Means’s suddenly four-walled juggernaut light-up the media sky like a grand 4th of July fireworks display over the Nation’s capitol. Count me as skeptical about how everything seems to have suddenly fallen into place for the Means up to and including a seat at the Executive branch table.

My professional background gives no indication of my lay-naturopathic medical journey but it is longer than either of the Means’s have been alive and, since they don’t feature discussion of the body’s primary balancing system, it makes me skeptical about their message as a whole.

Ann, Thank you for fantastic food for thought. You are dead on in raising these points.

Here is a more optimistic spin. As much as we would like it to be otherwise the Overton Window is real. The more people that get in on the conversation the more the Window moves. So the Means siblings bringing more people onboard means RFK Jr has a greater chance of being confirmed which leads to a further shifting of the Window.

Let me put in spiritual terms. Many on a spiritual path say they long for realization (whatever that means). Yet most would have a psychotic break if they were abruptly hurled into Reality. So the spiritual journey is a slow process.

Similarly most Americans are not ready to be abruptly hurled into reality about health issues.

Yet, change is coming, even if it slower than we would like.

Thanks again for a great and important read.

Thank you, Barry. I always value your insights. And I am grateful for the broadening of the discussion and aware of the need for some pacing. I am definitely feeling more triggered about one of these siblings being selected for a decision-making role, given all the work we’ve done to get to this place, but I do recognize that that “triggered” feeling is a signal for me to go inward.

But sometimes I need to untangle things aloud first😅.

Ann, You are right. Without the work of you and your colleagues we wouldn't be here. At the same time without the personal choices of hundreds of thousands we wouldn't be here.

What about to say would be heard better in person but since that is not possible here goes: I know you are cherished by many and that camaraderie and respect you earned will always be with you. At the same time, I know you are looking for more balance. So isn't it great that perhaps the movement will get bigger?

That said I do understand what triggered you. Decades ago, I remember a woman who put on dinner for a health organization promoting whole foods as healing. The turn out was spectacular but before she could get up to speak, a "prominent" man in the audience who did nothing to organize the event got up to speak. The organizer went in the back and wept.

The event was still a success. Your work is still a success.

I think the trigger for me has more to do with authenticity and trust. I welcome being on a learning curve together with all different kinds of voices, including the Means. It’s the possibility that someone is being disingenuous - manipulating us as they hijack the movement.

And that trigger is the product of trauma… having had experiences like that before. Though it doesn’t necessarily mean that’s happening. Thus the need for that inner work/introspection (which Substack is so good at facilitating).

So it’s kind of two things. On the one hand, the practical realities that go with vetting qualified candidates. On the other, acknowledging a lens that may be warped by distrust.

Ann, Very clearly expressed, but you cannot resolve the ambiguity and uncertainty you are experiencing. No one has ever in the history of humanity. And that is great news. Why? You are free to be the best expression of Ann as you are called to now.

Barry, we are all feeling the fall out of the last 3.5 years. Family, friends now say that “i” did not present the evidence to persuade them in a factual manner. Go figure now they are mad a me and or anyone, for their poor choice. The Psy-Op continues.

Xingyi's avatar

I get the same thing, maybe not as direct, from family and friends, i.e., that I (or more importantly, my wife who is a doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine) did not give them enough or persuasive enough information, etc.

Both my wife and I are not the kind of people to push anything or to even try to persuade, either you will resonate with what we're saying immediately or you probably never will. I never will, and my wife rarely, will argue the points beyond a statement or two.

But what I say to people like that is two things. First, why in hell do you believe government or MSM (!!) of all people preferentially with basically zero evidence because they say so?? And secondly, that we all are required to think for ourselves.

I think that last part, i.e., think for yourself, is the one thing that the majority of people are unwilling to do.

I have thought the same. I’m glad the direction seems to be toward truth, even if told by potential liars. I’m so exhausted and so disillusioned that I have a hard time even caring that much. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not exhausted or disillusioned about this creation or my own existence in it, just with these little men that think I’m dumb enough not to see their production. Same as it ever was. I’ve been doing this my way, and I’ll continue that, as opposed to waiting on power to be genuine. That will never happen, unless the messiah comes. I might be in MK Ultra, but I am not of MK Ultra. I am just me, practically alone in my humility and honesty in a den of thieves and scoundrels.
