This is a review of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s #1 best-selling November 2021 book.

Kennedy’s book is the mother of all exposes against the “medical cartel.”

His volume shows how the largest pharmaceutical companies (big pharma) have become primary agents in “the 2020’s historic coup d’etat against Western democracy.”(1) Coup d’etat is a French phrase meaning the seizure and removal of a government and its powers.

We’re not merely beset by pharma; most in the political tribes are complicit along with the multi-letter agencies. We are miles downstream from that fabled time when, in some measure, an independent media guarded our civilization against itself. Look out your window and see; it is as though the whole world is taken captive, riding aboard a speeding train, and headed toward a technocratic rainbow destination it is doomed to learn is mirage.(2)

Trust misplaced can have devastating effects; it can lead to desperate atrocities in our world, spiritual danger, and physical death. Having a realistic view about how much trust we can safely place in institutions is important.

Anyone could turn literally to any 20-page stretch in Kennedy’s book and gather substantial, well-documented knowledge. The book includes more than 2200 references, many of them web links. While Anthony Fauci is a central figure, his problematic history is a jumping-off point for Kennedy’s sweeping critique of the global medical cartel. Kennedy writes,

From the moment of my reluctant entrance into the vaccine debate in 2005, I was astonished to realize that the pervasive web of deep financial entanglements between Pharma and the government health agencies had put regulatory capture on steroids. The CDC, for example, owns 57 vaccine patents' and spends $4.9 of its $12.0 billion-dollar annual budget (as of 2019) buying and distributing vaccines. NIH owns hundreds of vaccine patents and often profits from the sale of products it supposedly regulates. High level officials, including Dr. Fauci, receive yearly emoluments of up to $150,000 in royalty payments on products that they help develop and then usher through the approval process. The FDA receives 45 percent of its budget from the pharmaceutical industry, through what are euphemistically called "user fees." When I learned that extraordinary fact, the disastrous health of the American people was no longer a mystery…(3)

Kennedy’s just getting started.

During the COVID pandemic, Dr. Fauci served as ringmaster in the engineered demolition of America's economy. His lockdown predictably shattered the nation's once-booming economic engine, putting 58 million Americans out of work, and permanently bankrupting small businesses, including 41 percent of Black-owned businesses, some of which took generations of investment to build.(4)

Everything I’ve shared so far is just from the matter before page 1! Each of the book’s 12 chapters opens a window on the larger story of abuse of power. The first chapter is the most comprehensive, with detailed discussions of controversial medicines I won’t here name, so as not to waken the censorship troll.

As for the advent of Covid-19, how did this train start rolling?

At the outset of the pandemic, Dr. Fauci used wildly inaccurate modeling that overestimated US deaths by 525 percent. Scammer and pandemic fabricator Neal Ferguson of Imperial College London was their author, with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) of $148.8 million. Dr. Fauci used this model as justification for his lockdowns.

Dr. Fauci acquiesced to CDC's selective protocol changes for completing death certificates in a way that inflated the claimed deaths from COVID, and thus inflated its infection mortality rate. CDC later admitted that only 6% of Covid deaths occurred in entirely healthy individuals. The remaining 94% suffered from an average of 3.8 potentially fatal comorbidities…. Federal officials relied on vagueness and deception to recklessly overestimate the dangers from Covid in every age group. All of these deceptions riddled virtually every mainstream media report—particularly those by CNN and the New York Times—leaving the public with a vastly inflated and cataclysmically inaccurate impression of its lethality.(5)

One Doctor tells his story:

Early treatment was the key. We weren’t allowed to talk about it. The whole medical establishment was trying to shut down early treatment and silence all the doctors who talked about successes. A whole generation of doctors just stopped practicing medicine. When we talked about it, the whole cartel came for us.(6)

Kennedy documents how a certain drug which suddenly became politically incorrect was suddenly being purchased in Africa by groups of buyers and then burned in bonfires.(7) Kennedy also states,

In March, at HHS’s request, several large pharmaceutical companies—Novartis, Bayer, Sanofi, and others—donated their inventory, a total 63 million doses of [a certain drug that starts with ‘H’] and 2 million doses of [another certain drug], to the Strategic National Stockpile, managed by BARDA, an agency under the DHHS Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response. BARDA’s Director, Dr. Rick Bright, later claimed the [certain drug] were deadly, and he needed to protect the American public from them.(8)

The chapter goes on for almost 100 pages discussing additional drugs which if named here might annoy the censorship troll. I am going to skip the next ten chapters outlining Fauci’s behavior in the HIV/AIDS years and which easily predict his behavior these past two years. Kennedy documents the corruption of the government health apparatus and its literal capture by Bill Gates’ financial influence.(9)

Supposedly, wealthy philanthropists are doing enormous good on a global scale but Kennedy shows how millions of mothers and infants lives have been harmed by the intentional dumping of unsafe vaccines in poor nations.(10)

I want to focus the last portion of my reaction on one last chapter in Kennedy’s book; one he titles “Germ Games.”(11)

Possibly you’ve heard of Event 201--held just weeks before the debut of Covid. Two-zero-one was only the last in a sequence of “tabletop exercises” gamed-out over the past 20 years. By now presumably you’ve heard of at least some of these:

Topoff 2000
Dark Winter 2001
Topoff 2003
Atlantic Storm 2003
Global Mercury 2003
Topoff 2005
Atlantic Storm 2005
Strategic Communication Laboratories 2005
Topoff 2007
LockStep 2010
MARS 2017
SPARS 2017
Clade X 2018
Crimson Contagion 2019
Event 201(12)

Some took place over a couple of days in a single city, others involved thousands of participants from local, state, and federal governments, military, intelligence, medical leaders, private and public planners. Kennedy writes, “These scenarios, which health officials and spooks conceived of and gamed back in 2005, became our collective reality in 2020 and 2021.”(13)

Kennedy:

Virtually all of the scenario planning for pandemics employ technical assumptions and strategies familiar to anyone who has read the CIA’s notorious psychological warfare manuals for shattering indigenous societies, obliterating traditional economics and social bonds, for using imposed isolation and the demolition of traditional economies to crush resistance, to foster chaos, demoralization, dependence and fear, and for imposing centralized and autocratic governance.(14)

Some have a fanciful viewpoint that government and military leaders are heroic persons of virtue who never would unnecessarily put lives at risk. But when it came to these pandemic exercises,

With each new simulation, the staccato repetition of the message by ‘trusted experts’--doctors in lab coats and authoritative collectives like Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Sen. Sam Nunn WHO Director-General Gro Harlem Brundtland, and Sen. Tom Daschle—reinforced the lesson that censorship, isolation, the militarization of medicine, totalitarian controls, and coercive vaccine mandates are the only appropriate response to pandemics. Scenario planning, in other words, is a potent brainwashing technique for creating and fortifying anti-democratic orthodoxies among key political leaders, the press, and the technocracy, and preparing the nation to tolerate a coup d’etat against its Constitution without resistance.(15)

John’s Hopkin’s was often a participant in the simulations. Kennedy’s reaction is somber:

None of the Hopkins simulations contemplate the efficiency of repurposed medications to mitigate or end the pandemic. And none of them allow for soul-searching about the abolition of constitutional rights and the wholesale destruction of America’s political and judicial systems in favor of a tyrannical medical and military junta. None of them recognize that there is no pandemic exception in the United States Constitution. Instead, they were too busy war-gaming a high-level mutiny against American democracy.(16)

August 2019 saw a four day long “functional exercise” named Crimson Contagion.(17) It’s participants just happened to be the same leaders who in a few month’s time would be managing the Covid-19 outbreak a few months hence. Crimson Contagion had participants in more than 100 locations across the United States. This event was mostly kept secret until a freedom of information request forced its disclosure. The New York Times reported on the story, but it is Kennedy who points out the most substantial point:

The New York Times’ takeaway missed altogether the larger and more significant stories: that the Crimson Contagion’s planners precisely predicted every element of the COVID-19 pandemic—from the shortage of masks to specific death numbers—months before COVID-19 was ever identified as a threat and that their overarching countermeasure was the preplanned demolition of the America Constitution by a scrupulously choreographed palace coup. . . . ‘These are brainwashing exercises,’ says former CIA officer and whistleblower Kevin Shipp. ‘Getting all of these thousands of public health and law enforcement officials to participate in blowing up the US Bill of Rights in these exercises, you basically have obtained their prior sign-off on torpedoing the Constitution to overthrow its democracy. They know that none of these participants are going to suddenly start soul-searching when the real thing happens.’(18)

The picture emerging from Kennedy’s volume is not merely Mordor on the Potomac, but that the spooks in their alphabet-soup agencies allied with Silicon Valley elites are dismantling and replacing liberty and representative democracy with their own technocracy and painting onto it new racing stripes of their own design.

Eschatology

This has consequences for our eschatological understanding. A government isn’t its machinery as much as the people running its machinery. Conceptions of personal and group rights can change dramatically in one generation. Expectations from our childhood may be long outdated.

My personal belief is that in the 2020s American representative democracy is convenient for marketing but that things work differently behind the curtain than we would like to think. A wealthy technocratic elite are using the powers of media, state and technology to redraw culture in their own image. The state is not a principled and incorruptible arbiter of religious liberty but itself a powerful political force actively shaping viewpoints. Revelation 13:11 says that while this power in Bible prophecy has two horns like a lamb, in the end it enacts its will through dragon-like coercive force.

Robert F. Kennedy’s book is a messenger to open our eyes to the dark days already upon us, and to help us realize that our fanciful conceptions of government neutrality and religious liberty need updating. The Real Anthony Fauci, is one of the most remarkable reads of our lifetime, and especially important for expositors who want to check their theories against its chilling data.
