Wolves In Sheep’s Clothing: The Challenges RFK Jr. Is Facing

‘Who is Bill Cassidy?

Before we get into Cassidy’s machinations during the hearings, let’s look at who he is. Like many before him, Cassidy began as a US Representative in Louisiana then ascended to the Senate. He was a practicing physician prior to entering politics. He quickly began to position himself for Congressional healthcare policy roles and has long been an advocate for healthcare reform. For example, he was against the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Over time, he became a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, and then became the chair, thus his ability to grill RFK Jr. during the hearings.

 

 

Like most politicians, Cassidy has taken campaign contributions from Big Pharma, but evokes the canned phrase used for all politicians: “there’s no direct evidence that he has made any significant personal income from these companies.” Maybe. Maybe not. Political contributions from the Big P have become so commonplace that people don’t even bat an eye about the huge conflict of interest this creates, especially when chairing a Congressional health oversight committee. It’s pretty clear: when lawmakers who receive donations from pharmaceutical companies push for policies that could benefit those companies, this is a problem.

 

 

Cassidy’s net worth is estimated to be $3 to $7 million as of 2022, with the bulk of his wealth stated as “being amassed from investments before he entered politics.” Maybe. Maybe not.

Is Cassidy Compromised?

The big question is this: did Cassidy’s net worth just go up after the favors he did to Big Pharma by squeezing concessions out of RFK Jr.? Maybe. Maybe not.

 

There are interesting clues in Cassidy’s recent past that perhaps demonstrate he is compromised. Did the Deep State get to him? Did they threaten his family? Did they blackmail him? Maybe. Maybe not.

 

 

In 2020, Cassidy voted to acquit Trump during the first impeachment trial, but just a year later, Cassidy voted to impeach Trump, saying he was guilty. Very few outside of the state of Louisiana know that Cassidy was censured by his state’s Republican Party because he voted to convict Donald Trump. Cassidy also said Trump should drop out of the 2024 presidential race. Interesting.

Fast forward to the confirmation hearings. Was Cassidy instantly rewarded by Big Pharma for imposing vast restrictions on Kennedy in exchange for his vote?

 

 

Playbook Known

This playbook is known. Let’s look at how this always goes, shall we?

 

Step 1: Politicians “protecting” the American people

The senator, in this case Cassidy, professes his utmost protection of the American people. He goes in front of the media to show “grave concerns” about the nominee, in this case Kennedy. Nothing is wrong with Kennedy: he has repeatedly said he doesn’t want to take vaccines away from anyone but wants to make more safety and efficacy data available to the public.

 

Nothing wrong with that.

 

Yet Cassidy plays to the cameras and has a big helping hand from the mainstream media (MSM) like this little gem from (USAID-funded) Politico: “As a doctor who once prescribed life-saving vaccines, Cassidy is troubled about putting someone in charge of the nation’s health agencies who has claimed, in defiance of the scientific consensus, that the shots are dangerous.”

 

Sounds great on the surface, but keep in mind that the scientific consensus is run by Big Pharma as well. Just look at what Kennedy is dealing with. Many people are worshipping at the altar of vaccines because they’re brainwashed by bureaucrats like Fauci who don’t treat actual patients, and by the MSM, with its biggest funder as Big Pharma, by far. The next time you watch any television show, count the total number of commercials between segments, then look at how many of them are advertising drugs. You’ll see. That’s why RFK Jr. wants it banned.

 

It is the epitome of the vicious cycle, with seemingly no way out. Remember that Kennedy willingly jumped into this maelstrom, so let’s wait and see what he will do.

 

Step 2: Endless meetings before and between formal hearings to “vet the candidate”

In reality, before the clown show that was the first confirmation hearing, Kennedy had endless meetings with Cassidy and the Democrats. Notice how both received the same memo and all had “grave concerns.” If people really think these endless meetings are designed to protect the American people, I don’t know what to say to you at this point.

These are negotiations about concessions. It’s not about you. It never has been. The groups then join in – everyone trying to extract a pound of flesh. Cassidy is targeted by Democrat doctors and public health groups, and Kennedy is targeted by everyone. It’s such a vicious – and unnecessary – game. People say, “but this is how the game is played.” Why do we stand for this nonsense? It needs to end.

 

 

Step 3: The Clown Show Hearings

Kennedy had two hearings. What people may not realize is that the Health committee hearing was literally a clown show because that committee didn’t even vote on Kennedy. But the Senate Finance committee did, and Cassidy sits on both, giving him two-for-the-price-of-one opportunities to grill Kennedy in full view of cameras.

 

 

Not surprisingly, Cassidy comes out of the first hearing “struggling” with whether to confirm.

I noticed a few key points about both hearings:

#1 Cassidy pleaded multiple times for Kennedy to publicly declare that vaccines don’t cause autism.

 

He criticized Kennedy for using his “megaphone” to sow doubt about vaccines. The MSM articles like this one say Kennedy is “deliberately doubting top scientists.”

 

Who is a top scientist? The ridiculous little worm, Peter Hotez, is all over the MSM spouting off as a top scientist. But he’s paid for by Big Pharma, so don’t we want Kennedy to doubt these paid shills? Remember when Hotez wouldn’t debate Kennedy? We do.

 

Keep in mind Cassidy is a doctor. How does he know that vaccines don’t cause autism? And as a doctor, isn’t he interested in what does? Why the singular focus on vaccines? Kennedy wouldn’t do it, stating that if evidence proved otherwise, he would apologize for past comments suggesting a link.

From Cassidy; “A worthy movement called MAHA to improve the health of Americans, or to undermine it, always asking for more evidence, never accepting the evidence that is there? That is why I have been struggling with your nomination.”

 

Right…Kennedy who has dedicated decades to CHD is trying to undermine health. Sure…

#2 Cassidy was concerned that Kennedy would harm President Trump’s legacy: “if someone doesn’t get vaccinated because of Kennedy’s policies or attitudes and later dies of a vaccine-preventable disease, it could get blown up in the press.

You mean the same President Trump that you voted to impeach? Now we are supposed to believe that he is behind Trump 100%? Cassidy also seems to be able to predict the future. On April 6, he did exactly what he said he would do in the hearing – taking to social media to criticize Kennedy for a child’s “measles death.”
