After reviewing the article, my suspicion was that it was authentic as I knew an orchestrated campaign against RFK Jr. existed and much of it matched what we had already proven these groups (e.g., BIO do). I then asked the people closest to the story (who I trust) who shared that they had confidence in the source who leaked it, and noted that when confronted by a larger outlet, BIO did not explicitly deny it, also suggesting the document was real (e.g., their spokesman declined to confirm or deny the veracity of the quote about lobbying for Kennedy's ouster). As such, I will proceed on the assumption it was real.

RFK's Nomination

Throughout this publication, RFK Jr. has been one of the few political figures I have publicly supported. This is because:

• RFK has continually advocated for many of the things most important to me.

• I long thought it would be impossible to ever have anyone in a senior level of government advocating for them—but due to an extraordinary confluence of events RFK was put into a position to.

• When I spent time with RFK, my two non-verbal takeaways were that he has gone through a lot of very difficult and traumatic events throughout his life, and that he has a deep conviction in the positions he is advocating for. There are a variety of ways people can respond to those types of unpleasant experiences, and it appeared to me that RFK adopted one of the less common responses—developing a deep conviction to make the world be a better place regardless of the obstacles put in front of you.

• A few of my close friends who know RFK Jr. feel the same way.

Since he has gotten into the H.H.S., he has been very systematic and strategic in fixing the issues we are facing, in many cases doing exactly what I would do.

In short, like many, I long entertained entering politics so I could fix the horrendous issues around us, but ultimately was not willing to because becoming a politician is a miserable experience which puts your entire life under scrutiny, leads to a never ending slew of attacks to force you to adopt positions that support vested interests, and requires you continually make unpalatable compromises to advance the greater good.

RFK Jr. hence is a blessing to me, as he's doing everything I would do if I'd made the necessary sacrifices (and had the luck) to get into a position of influence, but instead he's taking the heat for that role, and as such, I feel compelled to do all I can to support him during this once in a lifetime opportunity (which is essentially why I overextend myself to produce this newsletter).

Making the Impossible Possible

One of the things I feel most people do not grasp is how much influence the H.H.S. Secretary has over health in the country (as many of the Federal Laws and Policies are written so that they are implemented at the Secretary's discretion—which until now has protected the status quo as no H.H.S Secretary tried to make the country healthy).

Likewise, I feel many still do not understand just how improbable it was RFK got both nominated and confirmed, or that Trump has essentially given RFK the leeway to do whatever he wants to do (provided it's done in a sensible and persuasive manner)—something to the best of my knowledge no other Federal leader in US history has been able to do.
