The Obesity Epidemic: A Failure of State Mandates and the Case for Individual Health Sovereignty

Etienne Note: The only quote that appears three times in “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! is:
“Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities considerdesirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that they are so.” – Bertrand Russell, Fabian Socialist and Eugenicist writing in The Impact of Science on Society, 1953.

On Wednesday, a new study published in JAMA by researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle projected that by 2035, nearly half of all American adults, about 126 million individuals, will be living with obesity. The study draws on data from more than 11 million participants via the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Health and Nutrition Examination and Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, and from the independent Gallup Daily Survey…

Lobbying activity surpassed $5 billion for the first time in 2025, as corporations, interest groups and other organizations increased their spending 14 percent during the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term.
Spending reached $5.08 billion for the year, according to an OpenSecrets analysis of federal lobbying reports, up 11 percent from 2024 after accounting for inflation. Both the adjusted and non-adjusted increases represent the largest jumps since quarterly disclosures began in 2008.
The record total came even as some of Washington’s biggest spenders, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Realtors, cut back from their 2024 lobbying expenditures, with new groups making up the difference. In 2025, 15,768 organizations reported lobbying activity, up from 14,061 the previous year, an increase of nearly 12 percent…

Ghislaine Maxwell has claimed that 29 friends of Jeffrey Epstein were shielded through ‘secret settlements’ by the Justice Department.
The disgraced socialite filed a habeas corpus petition on December 17 seeking to overturn her conviction, arguing that prosecutors cut deals with Epstein associates while prosecuting her as if no such agreements existed.
Maxwell alleges that 25 men reached undisclosed deals, while four alleged co-conspirators were known to investigators but never charged. She does not name the individuals.‘None of the four named co-conspirators or the 25 men with secret settlements were indicted,’ the court filing says…

On Wednesday, the FBI raided the Fulton County election facility in Georgia as part of an investigation into the 2020 elections. If the raid is related to the election-linked lawsuits the Justice Department (DOJ) filed in multiple states last year, it’s possible we’ll see more action like this.
Fulton County officials confirmed the raid to FOX 5 Atlanta on Wednesday:
Today, the [FBI] served a search warrant at the Fulton County Elections Hub and Operations Center. The warrant sought a number of records related to 2020 elections. This operation is still actively underway. We cannot provide further information at this time…

Key Points
President Donald Trump, his two eldest sons and his family business sued the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department over alleged leaks of their confidential tax information.
The plaintiffs seek at least $10 billion in damages, according to the lawsuit in Miami federal court.
“The IRS wrongly allowed a rogue, politically-motivated employee to leak private and confidential information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets,” a spokesman for Trump’s legal team said…
DUMBs – New Song/Video by Autarchos (Greg Reese) Exposes Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMBs)

Etienne Note: Great new tune/video by Greg Reese bringing Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMBs) into wider prominence. My thesis is that Elon Musk is DARPA's boy who takes technologies developed on the taxpayer nickel for the military and then privatizes the profits for organized crime "government" insiders. The Boring Company, which is commercializing the technology used to create these DUMBs is one example, TESLA was probably battery technology, SpaceX is military/NASA launch technologies for military and intelligence satellites where they are, essentially, the companies ONLY customers, Starlink is a military communications system that they allow the public to use so they can be tracked and traced with it while making billions for themselves, Neuralink is for augmented soldiers controlling weapons systems and, ultimately, remote controlling human beings and deactivating/intellectually neutering the troublesome ones, etc. Kick that around as you watch the tunneling machines in this video and realize who Musk's likely #1 Boring Company customer is even if the revenue isn't getting reported cause its off-budget black programs...

Trump Set to Name Kevin Warsh, Son-in-Law of Billionaire Ron Lauder, as Next US Federal Reserve Chief
President Trump, who wants deep cuts in interest rates, said that he will name Jerome Powell’s successor to head the US Federal Reserve on Friday.

by Chris Menahan, Disclose TV, Jerusalem Post and Reuters
President Trump, who wants deep cuts in interest rates, said that he will name Jerome Powell’s successor to head the US Federal Reserve on Friday. Former Fed governor Kevin Warsh is the top candidate.
Fed interest-rate decisions impact not only the daily rate at which banks lend to each other but also long-term interest rates, as measured by long-dated US Treasury yields, which in turn influence borrowing costs for consumers and companies.
Kevin Warsh’s father-in-law, Ron Lauder, has a long-time friendship with Trump and may be influencing him on his pursuit of Greenland…
