Everyone Was Just Doing Their Job: How Specialization Enables Systemic Evil

The world’s a screaming match—doctors, economists, influencers, all clawing for their slice of truth. Nobody’s listening, and nobody’s seeing the whole damn picture. We have more information than ever, but we’re dumber where it counts, stuck in a loop of shouting past each other. This isn’t just politics or algorithm nonsense; it’s the cult of specialization—our worship of experts who know everything about nothing. Doctors pushing Covid shots didn’t see the fraud. Economists missed the heist. Engineers built surveillance without blinking. Each turned their screw, blind to the machine they were feeding—a Moral Assembly Line where systemic evil thrives. The system’s not broken; it’s built to break us, and we’re all complicit until we start connecting the dots. As I explored in The Illusion of Expertise, we’ve confused credentials with wisdom, compliance with intelligence. Now we see the deadly consequences: we’re not failing because of bad experts—we’re failing because specialization itself has become the operating system of institutional evil.

A Society Talking Past Itself

Step into any barroom debate, X thread, or YouTube comments section, and it’s chaos—facts flying, no one landing. We’ve outsourced our brains to specialists who slice reality into bits too small to mean anything. A cardiologist can’t talk vaccines. An economist reduces geopolitics to models, blind to the real forces at play. Everyone’s got their PhD in one inch of the world, and we’re dumber for it. Specialization doesn’t just fracture understanding; it’s the architecture of control, ensuring no one sees the crimes—medical fraud, wealth theft, digital chains—unfolding in plain sight. We’re not arguing because we’re stupid; we’re arguing because the system keeps us siloed, complicit, and clueless.

British Police Investigate Mysterious Fires at Prime Minister’s Residence

British counterterrorism police are now reportedly  investigating a series of suspected arson attacks targeting properties associated with Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

A 21-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life, though authorities reported no injuries resulting from the incidents, which occurred over the past week.

The fires were set at two locations: a four-bedroom house in north London that Starmer currently rents out, and an apartment building where he once owned a residence. Additionally, a vehicle caught fire near one of the properties.

The Metropolitan Police have stated that, due to the connection to a high-profile public figure, the investigation is being led by their Counter Terrorism Command.

Starmer, who has served as Prime Minister since 2024, resides with his wife and children at the official residence on Downing Street.

The house in north London, which he rented out after moving to government housing, was the site of a fire in the early hours of Monday morning.

Earlier, on Sunday, flames were reported in the doorway of the apartment building linked to Starmer. The vehicle fire occurred in proximity to the house, prompting police to investigate potential links between all three incidents.

A spokesman for the Prime Minister expressed gratitude for the police’s efforts but refrained from offering further comments on the ongoing investigation.

The police have emphasized the seriousness of the situation, particularly given the implications of targeting a prominent political figure.

Local residents have expressed concern over the fires, noting the potential risks associated with such violent acts. “It’s alarming to think that something like this could happen so close to home,” said one neighbor, who requested anonymity.

“We expect our leaders to be safe, and it’s unsettling to see this kind of threat.”

Wasting Away In Wind-And-Solarville

While green advocates commonly use the terms renewable, sustainable, and net zero to describe their efforts, the dirty little secret is that much of the waste from solar panels and wind turbines is ending up in landfills.

The current amounts of fiberglass, resins, aluminum and other chemicals—not to mention propeller blades from giant wind turbines—pose no threat current to local town dumps, but this largely ignored problem will become more of a challenge in the years ahead as the 500 million solar panels and the 73,000 wind turbines now operating in the U.S. are decommissioned and replaced.

Greens insist that reductions in carbon emissions will more than compensate for increased levels of potentially toxic garbage; others fret that renewable energy advocates have not been forthright about their lack of eco-friendly plans and the technology to handle the waste.

“Nobody planned on this, nobody had a plan to get rid of them, nobody planned for closure,” said Dwight Clark, whose company, Solar E Waste Solutions, recycles solar panels. “Nobody thought this through.”

The discussion about what to do with worn-out solar and wind equipment is another topic usually elided in Net Zero blueprints, which often focus on the claimed benefits of projects while discounting or ignoring the costs. As RealClearInvestigations previously reported regarding the lack of plans for acquiring the massive amounts of land for solar and wind farms needed to achieve net zero, the math can get fuzzy, and the numbers cited most frequently are those rosiest for renewables.

“They’ve been either silent, or incoherent—or just hand-wave that we should recycle all this stuff without telling us how,” said Mark Mills, executive director of the National Center on Energy Analytics. In the headlong effort to make solar and wind seem as inexpensive as possible, they have not included fees that address the eventual cost of disposal, which could leave taxpayers holding the bag.

Despite Cancellation of Moderna’s mRNA Bird Flu Jab, Efforts for mRNA-LNP H5N1 Jab for Cattle Forges Ahead

Citing a decision based on safety, integrity, and trust connected to a product that “was not scientifically or ethically justifiable,” the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) notified Moderna on May 28 that it was terminating the company’s $776 million contract for the development of a bird flu vaccine for humans. That decision is undoubtedly the correct decision. Yet, meanwhile, realizing the danger to humans of the under-tested mRNA technology platform, the US government continues to fund research on H5 influenza mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccines for use in cattle.

And to make matters worse—and essentially negate the progress made with the termination of HHS’s contract with Moderna—the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved on May 31 a new Moderna COVID-19 mRNA jab called mNEXSPIKE®, which the DARPA partner noted was “for use in all adults 65 and older, as well as individuals 12 through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition that put them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19.”

While this article ponders the ongoing experimentation with mRNA technology in cattle for bird flu, the FDA’s approval of mNEXSPIKE® is reckless. Meanwhile, as we discuss cattle, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the US Department of Energy continue to use federal funding to create mRNA-LNP jabs targeting highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b in Holstein calves. The USDA allocated $824 million in emergency funding in May 2024 to bolster H5N1 efforts, including vaccine development for livestock, with ongoing research to evaluate effectiveness in lactating dairy cattle and eventually other animal species.

To help push the needle forward quickly, a 2025 preprint conducted by researchers at the USDA’s National Animal Disease Center and the University of Pennsylvania—who have received consulting fees from Big Pharma groups, including Pfizer—aims to paint the research in a glowing light, noting that an H5 mRNA-LNP vaccine induced robust antibody and T-cell responses in calves, offering partial protection against H5N1. However, notably, the preprint failed to report biodistribution data, only mentioning intramuscular administration but not whether the mRNA or LNPs were tracked in tissues beyond the intramuscular injection site. But make no mistake. We know that both the mRNA and toxic LNPs can also enter the bloodstream, leading to systemic distribution to organs across the body, including the liver, spleen, heart, and other tissues.

Concerningly, we also know mRNA-LNPs cross the blood-brain barrier, settling into essentially every organ in the human body, causing damage to the brain, heart, liver, and bone marrow in humans. Why isn’t this deadly hazard being studied in cattle? Thus far, no studies have directly quantified H5 mRNA-LNP biodistribution in cattle, particularly in lactating dairy cows, where H5N1 replication in the mammary glands raises significant concerns about milk safety.

FDA Launches New AI Tool

The Food and Drug Administration on June 2 launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool.

FDA officials said Elsa, the tool, will help employees “work more efficiently.”

The agency is utilizing Elsa to speed up clinical protocol reviews and scientific evaluations, as well as to identify targets for inspections.

FDA officials described Elsa as a “large language model–powered AI tool designed to assist with reading, writing, and summarizing.” They said it can summarize adverse events to help with safety profile assessments, compare labels faster than humans, and generate code to help develop databases.

“Today marks the dawn of the AI era at the FDA with the release of Elsa, AI is no longer a distant promise but a dynamic force enhancing and optimizing the performance and potential of every employee,” FDA Chief AI Officer Jeremy Walsh said in a statement.

AI refers to computer systems that perform complex tasks typically performed by humans.

Dr. Marty Makary, the FDA’s commissioner, said in May that the FDA would immediately start using AI and fully integrate it by the end of June.

“Following a very successful pilot program with FDA’s scientific reviewers, I set an aggressive timeline to scale AI agency-wide by June 30,” Makary said on Monday.

“Today’s rollout of Elsa is ahead of schedule and under budget, thanks to the collaboration of our in-house experts across the centers.”

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who leads the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the FDA’s parent agency, cheered the development, calling it “a revolution in public health” in a post on social media platform X.

The FDA recently fired thousands of employees. HHS officials had said they would cut about 3,500 full-time workers but ended up terminating about 2,500 workers, according to a Senate Democrat report.

Makary told a congressional panel during a recent appearance that no scientific reviewers were fired, although some research scientists were among those terminated.

President Donald Trump has promoted the use of AI, saying in one order that “with the right Government policies, we can solidify our position as the global leader in AI and secure a brighter future for all Americans.”

The first report from Trump’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission, headed by Kennedy, contained markers of AI, including nonexistent studies and multiple instances of “oaicite,” which developers say is inserted by OpenAI’s ChatGPT AI tool.

“The pattern is consistent with other cases we’ve seen of using generative AI to create citations,” Dr. Ivan Oransky, co-founder of Retraction Watch and executive director of The Center for Scientific Integrity, told The Epoch Times in an email.

“The fact that these fake citations made it into the report are evidence that no one checked the report for rigor. That should concern anyone who reads it or considers relying on it.”

Ohio podcaster files to reverse conviction for felony intimidation

A true crime podcaster convicted of felony intimidation for attacking the reputations of Norwalk, Ohio, city employees in a social media post is asking an Erie County judge to reverse that decision, the law firm that filed the motion announced on Tuesday.

The Pattakos Law Firm argues that Ashli Ford’s Facebook post is free speech protected by the First Amendment and is not a threat that should warrant her conviction. The firm also claims the conviction has had a “chilling effect” that silences the “non-threatening expression” made by Ford.

According to court documents, the September 2023 Facebook post made allegations against multiple city officials in Norwalk: Mayor David Light, the city’s law director and prosecutor Stuart O’Hara, the city’s safety and service director Michael White and former Norwalk police chief David Smith.

“Ford stated she had the four men ‘on [their] knees,’ and she would ‘slowly crumble the reputation of every person who stands in the way of justice,’ according to court documents. “She went on to claim she would ‘escort [them] to [their] demise in a manner more akin to Malcolm X than Martin Luther King Jr.'”

The Akron-area law firm claims “the Facebook post for which Ford was convicted consists entirely of classic political speech and does not contain any content that could be reasonably construed as a ‘true threat’ so as to overcome the First Amendment’s robust protections for such speech.”

Palantir Co-Founder Joe Lonsdale & Former Exec Refute NYT Report Warning Over Surveillance ‘Master List’

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale and former executive Wendy Anderson have hit back against a NY Times report warning that the company is laying the groundwork for government surveillance on steroids through a massive database that would coordinate the private information of US citizens across federal agencies. 

“Palantir’s not a “database”; it’s a platform created by 1000s of the most talented and patriotic Americans to partner with our DoD to stop attacks and defeat bad guys, while protecting liberty & privacy,” Lonsdale posted on X in response to the account “Retard Finder,” that said “The Palantir database idea is retarded.” 

“There are hundreds of similar types of software and efforts in the USA throughout the west; what’s unique about Palantir is that it’s BY FAR the best at stopping bad guys,” Lonsdale continued. 

When asked by a self-described Palantir shareholder whether he’d “personally be comfortable with your personal data being stored in this database if AOC or Ilhan Omar were President,” Lonsdale replied: 

“given the government does operate on sensitive data: I 100% prefer PLTR to be there if sketchy people are in charge, as it has full access rules and audit trails; others don’t.”

NJ to Consider Bill that Would Mandate Monitoring and Publishing Data of Homeschoolers

The New Jersey Senate is set to consider a bill on Thursday that would require families who homeschool their children to register with their local governments and the governments to publish their data.

Senate Bill 1796 (SB 1796), sponsored by New Jersey state Sen. Angela McKnight (D) would require a “parent or guardian to annually notify” their local school district, in written form, of their intention to homeschool their children.

“The letter shall include the name, date of birth, and grade level of the child, and the name of the person who will provide instruction to the child,” the latest version of the bill’s text reads.

Under SB 1796, the school district will be required to “annually compile and make available for public inspection on its website information concerning the number of children who reside in the district who are being home-schooled” and what grades they are in. It does not include any provisions to protect the privacy of the individual children or families in question and does not provide a legal definition for the term “homeschool,” which opponents have observed does not formally exist in New Jersey law.

The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), which opposes the bill, alerted its members on Tuesday that on Thursday, June 5, a legislative hearing will be held regarding SB 1796. The bill appears on the docket for a New Jersey Senate Education Committee hearing scheduled for that day.

The HSLDA opposed the bill on the grounds that it would create “pointless and burdensome red tape”:

Senate Bill 1796 would require every homeschool family in New Jersey to file a letter with their public school superintendent expressing their intent to homeschool their children. The birth date and grade level of each child would be required as well, and the bill provides no privacy protection.

In a post on X, HSLDA encouraged homeschool families in the state to “call or email” their state senator and to ask them to oppose SB 1796.

Is This Stunning Censorship A Glimpse Into Our Own Future?

The BBC has reported on smartphones smuggled out of North Korea that are setup to spy on citizens and prevent them from using language that is not authorised by the Communist state.

Instead of simply not allowing North Korean people to have such devices, the regime there has decided to manufacture and distribute phones as a tool for further controlling the population amid fears that freedom, in the form of South Korean culture, is encroaching.

The BBC reporter demonstrates how the phone edits words and phrases that are are not acceptable to the North Korean government, and replaces them with language they have sanctioned.

In one example, the reporter types in a South Korean slang word for “boyfriend” and the phone changes it to “comrade.”

A second example shows the reporter typing in ‘South Korea’ and the phone automatically changing it to “Puppet State.”

The phone also covertly takes a screenshot every five minutes, stores the images in a secret folder which the user cannot access, but North Korean authorities can scour through should they wish to do so.

The report also notes that the North Korean Communists have deployed “youth crackdown squads” to patrol the streets listening out for people using South Korean slang or styles of language.

Wild stuff.

“Smartphones are now part and parcel of the way North Korea tries to indoctrinate people,” Martyn Williams, a senior fellow at the Washington DC-based Stimson Center, and an expert in North Korean technology and information, told the BBC.

Williams further noted that North Korea is now “starting to gain the upper hand” in the information war.

Some online pointed out that its ironic that the state funded BBC filed this report, given that people in the UK are being imprisoned over social media posts.

Texas Hemp Advocates Deliver 100,000+ Petitions To Governor’s Office, Urging Him To Veto THC Ban Bill

Texas hemp advocates and stakeholders are rallying in opposition to a bill the legislature passed to outlaw all consumable hemp-derived cannabinoid products containing any detectable THC—delivering more than 100,000 petition signatures asking Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to veto the measure.

“Senate Bill 3 was designed to destroy a vibrant and legitimate industry,” Cynthia Cabrera, president of Texas Hemp Business Council, which represents the state’s roughly $8 billion hemp industry, said in a press release. “The bill now awaits review by Governor Abbott. We respectfully urge him to consider the facts, listen to our appeal and make the logical decision to veto SB 3.”

At a press conference on Monday, Cabrera said she wanted to “address the misinformation, misdirection and maligning of this industry” by the bill sponsor, Sen. Charles Perry (D), and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R), who serves as presiding officer of the Senate and strongly advocated for the legislation.

“SB 3 violates the very principles Texas prides itself on: small government, individual freedom and free enterprise,” she said. “Governor Abbott, we ask that you keep your promise to small businesses, to women entrepreneurs and to every Texan who values freedom.”
