HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s visit to the FDA made headlines as he schooled employees on everything from past CIA experiments, mind control and the Deep State.
Kennedy, who also warned FDA employees against becoming “sock puppets” of the industries they regulate, didn’t hold back.
“Because of my family’s commitment to these issues, I spent 200 hours at Wassaic Home for the Retarded when I was in high school,” Kennedy said, referencing the Wassaic State School for the Mentally Retarded in Wassaic, New York.
“So I was seeing people with intellectual disabilities all the time. I never saw anybody with autism.”
Kennedy’s remark unnerved several FDA employees, who misheard and thought he was making a derogatory comment about people with intellectual disabilities.
“President Trump always talks about the Deep State and the media, you know, disparages him and says that he’s paranoid,” Kennedy said, according to a transcript and audio via Politico.
“But the Deep State is real. And it’s not, you know, just George Soros and Bill Gates and a bunch of nefarious individuals sitting together in a room and plotting the, you know, the destruction of humanity.”
Kennedy said that “every institution that’s created by human beings” is inevitably captured by powerful interests.
He then vowed that the Department of Health and Human Services would not be subjected to undue influence and would listen to “dissidents.”
“All of us are subject to those gravities of agency capture,” Kennedy said, calling on the audience to “be conscious of that gravity because it’s going to be pulling you every single day of your career. We want to break away from this so we can make our kids healthy.”
The speech sent many FDA staffers reeling, which was undoubtedly the point.
HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said in a statement that Kennedy was “telling the truth that many Americans already know: for too long, the FDA has been captured by the very industries it is supposed to regulate.”
“Calling this out and encouraging radical transparency is not controversial — it’s leadership,” Nixon said.
“The era of rubber-stamping and silence is over.”
Last week, Kennedy culled around 10,000 employees, vowing that HHS would find ways to “do more with less.”
“This whole generation is damaged,” Kennedy said.
“The information is out there,” he said. “But those studies aren’t done because they may offend the financial interests of powerful entities.”
Kennedy also referenced the CIA’s MK-Ultra Project — the infamous human experimentation program from the 1960s — in what appeared to be both a warning and an effort to encourage FDA employees to align with his agenda to Make America Healthy Again.
