Dear Friends,
The temperature has been turned down on the war in Ukraine and Russia. No more intermediate to long-range missiles have been sent since last week. Putin and Trump are starting negotiations about how to end the war. As are Trump and Ukraine's leaders.
Instead, war has broken out in Syria, allegedly by a coalition of Daesh/Isis/Al qaeda/ Kurdish groups (mercenaries?) for which there is good evidence some are being supplied by the CIA. They attacked and took over Syria's second largest city, Aleppo. It has been suggested that this is yet another CIA operation to destabilize the Assad government and gain more resources from the oil rich north. The WSJ has this to say today:
The surprising advance by opposition forces in Syria’s civil war poses a conundrum for Israel and the West. Victory by either side presents risks. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is allied with Israel’s enemy Iran. The rebel group now challenging Assad, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, is a U.S.-designated terrorist organization that Israel sees as dangerous to its interests. The rebels said they had entered the key city of Hama.
The devastation in Gaza continues, while a ceasefire of sorts is happening in Lebanon. It has been said that around 800 Israeli soldiers have been killed in the two conflicts during the past 14 months. On a per capita basis, that would be roughly half the US soldiers killed during the Vietnam War. Israel has a population of 9 million.
Trump has refused to accept several million dollars for his transition work and will not carry it out in buildings provided by the General Services Agency. This avoids leaks and official spying. It also keeps Trump at Mar a Lago where he has better secret service protection and amenities. I think it is a great idea in these fraught times that Trump remain in a safe and secure place, where Biden appointees/supporters are not "serving" him.
Door to Freedom is prepared to go full-on, engaging with the new administration over the WHO, UN, a better food supply and an improved and cheaper healthcare system.
Just imagine what a boost to US business a reduction in health insurance costs would be. I believe the health insurance companies have had a free ride for a very long time, while being incentivized to charge as much as possible–because they collect a percentage of what they spend (around 19% profits for Obamacare, for example). Not a bad deal but a terrible business model for those making the payments.
We are waiting to roll out our strategy to see who else gets appointed and how well we can work with the appointees at the federal level, and whether we need to focus on our grass roots and states primarily, or on federal officials and/or Congress.
Meantime, I thought you might like to know about the complicated agency regulation of our food supply. Who does what?
FDA and USDA Jurisdiction by Food
Meat
USDA – amenable species (i.e., cattle, hogs, sheep, goats and equine) processing where an inspector must be present for slaughtering and processing
FDA – non- amenable species (e.g., rabbits, bison, moose, deer, elk)

I think most of you will be interested in a new one hour show on glyphosate shown on Tuesday, produced by our friends Zen Honeycutt, Stephanie Senneff, PhD and Michelle Perro, MD. I had no idea how many downstream effects consuming glyphosate could have on us.
Their programs are called "The New MDS" and can be found on these channels.
