Bondi’s DOJ Launches Fraud Investigation of UnitedHealth, Same Insurer Whose CEO Was Assassinated

The Justice Department, now headed by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, is reportedly investigating Medicare billing practices from UnitedHealth Group, a move which comes weeks after the assassination of Brian Thompson, the chief executive of subsidiary UnitedHealthcare.

The attorneys are reportedly examining possible civil fraud linked to UnitedHealth Group’s practices for recording diagnoses that allow for extra payments to Medicare Advantage plans, according to a Friday exclusive report from The Wall Street Journal.

That includes potential fraud at physician groups owned by UnitedHealth Group.

Insurers receive payments under the Medicare Advantage system to oversee benefits for enrollees, but the payments increase when certain diagnoses are discovered.

That creates an incentive to diagnose more ailments and receive more payouts.

The Journal previously reported that Medicare paid UnitedHealth Group billions of dollars for “questionable diagnoses.”

Justice Department attorneys have been interviewing some of the same medical providers mentioned in the outlet’s investigations.

The Justice Department is also pursuing an antitrust probe against UnitedHealth Group, and has filed to prevent the insurance behemoth’s $3.3 billion potential acquisition of home healthcare company Amedisys.

The reported civil fraud investigation is separate from those cases.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. becomes new HHS Secretary, signaling REVOLUTIONARY shift in public health accountability

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will become the next Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) under President Donald Trump. The Senate voted 52-48 along party lines Thursday to advance Kennedy’s nomination to lead HHS and hold the NIH, CDC, and FDA accountable for their mistakes during the covid-19 scandal. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will take up the mantle as HHS Secretary, where he must redirect funds to study the root causes of chronic disease, including new pesticide and vaccine safety studies that will take a real look into the autism epidemic. This marks a significant moment involving Robert F. Kennedy Jr. HHS leadership, as he emphasizes the need for vaccine safety reform.

A longtime advocate for children’s health and a vocal critic of pharmaceutical industry practices, Kennedy’s leadership at HHS represents a seismic shift in how the federal government approaches public health, particularly vaccine safety and chronic disease prevention. His nomination, however, has drawn sharp criticism from those who question his views on vaccines and his political evolution. As the nation watches, Kennedy’s confirmation could mark a turning point in the fight for transparency and accountability in public health policy.

RFK Jr’s drastic antidote for cancer-linked products lurking near every American as he reveals seven health crises he’ll tackle

Robert F Kennedy Jr wants to reverse the chronic disease epidemic in America by tackling seven major issues, including radio waves.

The controversial new Health and Human Services secretary said ‘nothing is going to be off limits’ during his first speech in the role Tuesday. 

His desire to improve America’s food by stripping harmful additives and chemicals was widely accepted, along with reducing the use of toxic pesticides.

Other issues he promises to tackle include the childhood vaccination schedule, SSRIs and other psychiatric drugs, the forever chemicals PFAS and PFOs and microplastics. 

But his proposal to restrict electromagnetic radiation (EMR) raised eyebrows. 

The former presidential candidate has repeatedly claimed Wi-Fi causes cancer and wireless radiation has the potential to affect the blood-brain barrier and damage brain cells.

RFK Jr has also said cellphones are behind the rise in glioblastomas and Wi-Fi causes toxins from the body to enter and damage the brain. 

He said: ‘Wi-Fi radiation does all kinds of bad things, including causing cancer. The cancer’s not the worst thing. Wi-Fi radiation opens up your blood brain barrier and so all these toxics that are in your body can now go into your brain.’

CBD Could Effectively Treat Common Vaginal Infections, Study Concludes

Newly published research on cannabidiol (CBD) suggests that the popular marijuana component could be a promising treatment for a common type of vaginal infection.

The report focuses on the bacterium Gardnerella vaginalis, which is found naturally in the vagina but can also cause vaginosis when out of balance with other microbes. In laboratory tests, CBD demonstrated antibacterial and antioxidant effects that weakened G. vaginalis and eliminated communities of the bacteria known as biofilms.

“Our study shows that CBD exhibits antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against G. vaginalis clinical isolates,” the new paper says, “and is thus a potential drug for the treatment of vaginosis caused by this bacterium.”

The article was published this month in a special issue of the journal Antibiotics dedicated to “Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Activity by Natural Compounds.” It was authored by a four-person team from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, also in Jerusalem, Israel.

The mystery of methylene blue! The anti-aging conspiracy shaking the left while RFK Jr. challenges the system.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is back in the headlines, but this time not for his fight against vaccines or his criticism of the establishment, but for a strange blue liquid captured on video as he added it to his drink on a plane. The left is in panic!

The liquid in question is methylene blue, a compound with multiple medical uses that is gaining popularity in the biohacking world.

It is said to have antioxidant properties, neuroprotective effects, and even positive impacts on longevity.

While the alternative health community praises it, progressive media seeks to ridicule it and associate it with conspiracy theories.

DoD’s Med School (USUHS) Defies SECDEF And POTUS

On 20 January 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing” that clearly stated:

“terminate, to the maximum extent allowed by law, all DEI, DEIA, and “environmental justice” offices and positions (including but not limited to “Chief Diversity Officer” positions); all “equity action plans,” “equity” actions, initiatives, or programs, “equity-related” grants or contracts; and all DEI or DEIA performance requirements for employees, contractors, or grantees.”1

On 27 January 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order “Restores Merit and Lethality to America’s Armed Forces” that clearly stated:

“This Order also abolishes any remnant of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) bureaucracy within the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security.”2

The same week, SECDEF Pete Hegseth posted the following on X:

““The President’s guidance (lawful orders) is clear: No more DEI at @DeptofDefense. The Pentagon will comply, immediately. No exceptions, name-changes, or delays,” Hegseth posted on X” 3

USUHS (acronym for Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences) is a DoD funded medical school in Bethesda, MD that trains doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals for the US armed services. It also operates a federally funded and resourced Master of Public Health Program (MPH)

Letitia James Orders NY Hospitals to Continue Trans Surgeries on Minors

Democrats are sending a message: election or no election, executive orders or no executive orders, reality or fantasy: “This is our world, and you might be welcome to live in it, so long as you toe the line.” Make no mistake, they may have lost the White House, House, and Senate and elected David Hogg as the DNC vice chair, but they are digging in and remaining intransigent while they plot their return to power. And they aren’t content to merely lose their minds over confirmation hearings or the fact that the party is over at USAID. 

The AP reported that on Monday, New York Attorney General Letitia James sent a stern warning to the state’s hospitals. The warning came in a letter to the hospitals that despite Trump’s executive order to halt funding for transitioning treatments for minors, hospitals that did not continue what the Left refers to as “gender-affirming care” would be in violation of New York’s anti-discrimination laws. James commented, “Regardless of the availability of federal funding, we write to further remind you of your obligations to comply with New York State laws.” The outlet noted that hospitals in Colorado, Virginia, and Washington D.C. had hit the pause button on the procedures while they evaluated the order.

The Demoralizing Downward Spiral Of Algorithmic Culture

In need of a letter certifying that I do not suffer from a disease of international concern, I headed out to my primary care practitioner last Monday.

Knowing how busy most doctor’s offices are these days, I decided I’d make it easy on the staff by bringing a) a copy of the WHO’s International Health Regulations (IHR) regulations on diseases of international concern b) a list of the diseases currently covered under this rubric and c) explicit instructions about the elements such a letter must include (i.e. letterhead of the practice, stamp of the practice, doctor’s signature etc.).

They assured me that they were familiar with this procedure and that it would be no problem.

And when I mentioned that it would be great if they could do it in both English and Spanish, I was assured that would be no problem either as there was a Spanish-speaking provider on staff who could write it up in that language.

But again, in the interest of facilitating things, I provided them with a copy of this very type of certification letter written for me some time back by a doctor in Spain. This “letter,” such as it was, consisted of one sentence of 27 words in Spanish and a couple more than that when rendered into English.

Given that there were two staff members present, and that one of them was scrolling on her phone, I figured it would be a simple matter of one of them quickly writing up the letters, checking my file to see if I had any of the diseases of international concern (I had been there a week previous for my annual checkup) and catching my doctor (or one of his colleagues) between patients for a quick signature.

However, when I asked the woman in front of me how long it would take, she replied, “Three to five business days. That’s the procedure. We’ll call you when it is done”.

When I told them that I needed it for an appointment first thing on the following Monday in New York and that if I didn’t have all the documents, it would be months before I got another one, they just repeated the mantra that it would be done toward the end of the week, probably late on Friday.

On Friday, at 1:45 I received a call saying the letter was ready for pickup. Relieved, I entered the office, checked the letter quickly, and headed out. Upon rechecking it at home, however, I realized that it had not been signed by the doctor, which was one of the first requirements on the list of directions I had handed them on Monday.

So back I went to the office and explained to them it would be inadmissible for the bureaucratic procedure in question without that signature. By this time it was getting toward 3:15 in an office scheduled to close at 5:00.

Military Whistleblowers Are Warning that the Inspector General of the Military’s Health Agency is ‘Falsely’ Claiming Non-Disclosure Agreements are Required to Start Investigations

Military whistleblowers are revealing that the Defense Health Agency (DHA) Office of the Inspector General (IG) is falsely claiming Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) are necessary to begin investigating the complaints of service members. What could the IG be attempting to hide from the public about their investigative processes and more? Where is the transparency?

Ted Macie, a retired Navy Medical Service Corps officer and military whistleblower reached out to The Gateway Pundit, revealing that prior to his retirement last year, he submitted a complaint to the Department of Defense (DOD) IG for whistleblower retaliation after being investigated for a viral post on X concerning heart issues among active-duty military pilots. Interestingly, he said, the information was already disclosed to the proper channels.

After being deprived of computer access by his command for the 10 months leading up to his retirement, the investigation found no evidence of any wrongdoing. For this reason, Macie submitted a complaint to the DHA IG on May 31, 2024.

In emails reviewed by this author and shared on X, it was confirmed that beginning on June 3, 2024, Macie shared a series of back-and-forth emails with Deidre Tracy, an investigator for DHA IG.

Since 2018, Over 75,000 Canadians Died Waiting for Health Care

If you think Canada has such a great nationalized health care system, you need to reconsider.

Death by Delay

SecondStreet reports 15,474 Canadians Died Waiting for Health Care in 2023-24

Today, SecondStreet.org released government data showing an additional 15,474 patients in Canada died in 2023-24 before receiving various surgeries or diagnostic scans. However, that number is incomplete, as several governments provide either partial data, or simply do not track the problem.

SecondStreet.org collected the data by filing Freedom of Information (FOI) requests across Canada. When the data collected is extrapolated across jurisdictions which did not provide data, the number actually nearly doubles, to around 28,077. These figures cover everything from cancer treatment and heart operations to cataract surgery and MRI scans.
