The U.S. Government Secretly Poisoned Alcohol During Prohibition, Killing at Least 10,000 Americans

During Prohibition (1920–1933), the federal government banned the production, sale, and transportation of alcohol under the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act.

But Americans kept drinking, and bootleggers kept supplying.

To stop the flow, officials at the Treasury Department didn’t just increase raids or surveillance—they decided to poison the industrial alcohol supply.

Industrial alcohol was already being “denatured” with foul-tasting additives to make it undrinkable.

But in 1926, officials escalated: they ordered companies to add lethal poisons like methyl alcohol (wood alcohol), kerosene, formaldehyde, benzene, brucine, chloroform, cadmium, zinc, mercury salts, nicotine, ether, and more—up to 10% methanol in some batches.

This wasn’t done behind closed doors.

It was federal policy.

And they never told the public.

The Death Toll
Christmas Eve 1926: More than 60 people poisoned, 8 dead that night.

Following 48 hours: Another 23 died from government-poisoned alcohol.

New York City, 1926: 585 deaths.

1927: Death toll in NYC rises to 700.

Nationwide: Estimated 10,000–50,000 deaths before the policy ended.

The FEDS are still doing this with opioids. Most of these are loaded with 2000 mg of acetaminophen _per tablet_. If you take too many, the acetaminophen nukes your liver and you're dead without a liver transplant.

If I get pain meds, I always insist on no acetaminophen. They get pissed because they have to give me hydromorphone instead. Fuck them.

‘The Narrative is Cracking’: CDC Adviser Who Promoted COVID Vaccines for Pregnant Women Resigns

Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, a pediatric infectious disease expert who helped promote the COVID-19 vaccine to pregnant women, resigned Tuesday from her position as co-leader of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) working group on the COVID-19 vaccine and is leaving the agency, Reuters reported.

In an email to colleagues, Panagiotakopoulos said her decision to resign was based on her belief that she is “no longer able to help the most vulnerable members” of the population. According to CBS News, she sent the email Tuesday morning.
Reuters cited anonymous sources who said Panagiotakopoulos did not state a specific reason for her resignation. In her email, she said her departure was “a personal decision.”

“My career in public health and vaccinology started with a deep-seated desire to help the most vulnerable members of our population, and that is not something I am able to continue doing in this role,” Panagiotakopoulos wrote.

The CDC and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) did not respond to a request for comment by press time.
Panagiotakopoulos promoted COVID vaccination for pregnant women

Panagiotakopoulos was a member of a working group of the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which makes vaccine-related recommendations.

She was co-leader of a group tasked with gathering information that would be presented at ACIP meetings.

In October 2022, ACIP members unanimously recommended adding COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as 6 months old to the CDC childhood schedule.

In October 2023, the committee recommended expanding the childhood and adult immunization schedules, including recommendations for pregnant women.

The CDC approved the recommendations last year.

“For years, ACIP has pushed aggressive vaccine schedules — including for pregnant women — despite real safety concerns and lack of supporting data,” said Nebraska chiropractor Ben Tapper, a critic of COVID-19 vaccines. “ACIP’s response has been the same every time: approve, recommend and move on. No accountability. No transparency.”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Panagiotakopoulos played a key role in the CDC’s COVID-19 vaccine response efforts, creating a registry that monitored the safety of COVID-19 vaccines administered during pregnancy.

RFK Jr. ousts every member of CDC vaccine advisory committee

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has sensationally ousted every member of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the Biden-appointed group that made recommendations on the necessity and use of vaccines, in the first of a series of sweeping changes.

The decision to remove all 17 members of the scientific committee, which advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and replace them with his own picks, was described as “a clean sweep” by President Trump’s Health Secretary in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece published Monday.

It’s not just patients. Doctors are relying more and more on AI, too. Yesterday, FastCompany ran a story in which it reported that “two-thirds of doctors now reportedly use ChatGPT to help them home in on a diagnosis, often with good results.” In February, a new AI healthcare startup called OpenEvidence reported that 250,000 U.S. doctors were already using its product, and by mid-June the number had rocketed to 350,000.

And the AI revolution is just getting started.

The Observer’s medical experts pushed back. Patients are too stupid to use AI. “The biggest issue is that people can't ask the right questions,” said Dr. Yee. “They can't put the right things into ChatGPT.” Even worse, AI doesn’t enforce DEI. “When historical data carry biases — such as underrepresentation of certain groups or gender biases in treatment — AI systems inevitably absorb and perpetuate these biases,” complained Dr. Ted James, a Harvard medical school professor.

Laughably, the post relied —even expanding the quote into a dramatic call-out— on this main complaint: “AI did not take the Hippocratic oath,” Dr. Yee insisted. Which circles us right back to the main point.

Who squandered patient trust in doctors during the pandemic, by proving the Hippocratic ‘Oath’ is, at best, a hypocritical suggestion? Who created the environment where patients are more likely to trust their chatbots than their internists?

Doctors, that’s who.

I’d argue that, absent the healthcare profession’s awful pandemic excesses, AI would not pose anywhere near the kind of threat to doctors’ careers that it now most evidently does. Doctors nuked their own credibility, en masse. Not with a mistake. Not even a few. But with a pattern of patronizing, lockstep obedience to a failing narrative — always at the patients’ expense and their own CMS-fueled enrichment.

Bingo.

Doctors nuked their own credibility, en masse by pushing the dangerous and defective mRNA on everyone even long after it was obviously killing millions.

AI is to the medical profession as the printing press was to organized religion. It shatters the monopoly on closely guarded knowledge. It empowers the laity. It reveals just how often the robed (white-coated) gatekeepers were bluffing.

Before Gutenberg, the priesthood hoarded scripture, issuing doctrine from on high, always gatekeeping, and immune to scrutiny. After the press, their words suddenly had competition: the source material. Likewise, before AI, medical authority was treated as gospel.

Questioning your doctor was heresy — punishable by condescension or a quiet note in your permanent chart: “noncompliant.”

But ChatGPT pulls up studies your doctor hasn’t read. It explains side effects in full sentences instead of hastily scribbled warnings. It doesn’t interrupt, rush, or dismiss. It doesn’t condescend. It politely answers every question, no matter how many you ask or how dumb they are.

The real threat to medicine isn’t that AI makes mistakes. (So do doctors. A lot.) The threat is that AI demystifies the process — and proves it was never magic to begin with. It’s just pattern recognition, obscure vocabulary, hoarded data, and access to knowledge.

Everything is different now. Patients now have their own medical bibles— in English. Doctors find themselves in a deep hole to justify their value. A hole that they dug during the pandemic, which is getting deeper by the minute. They now must dig themselves out by reinventing their careers.

Johnson & Johnson Lead Scientist Confesses J&J COVID-19 Vaccine Was ‘Not Safe and Effective,’ Reveals “Lack of Research” From Rushing to Release Vaccine: “People Wanted It, We Gave It to Them”

“We didn’t do the typical tests,” said Joshua Rys, a Lead Scientist in Regulatory Affairs for Johnson & Johnson (J&J), revealed on hidden camera that the typical clinical process was abandoned for the COVID-19 vaccine, knowingly bypassing standard testing protocols under pressure from the U.S. government and public demand. He added, “This was just, ‘let’s test it on some lab models… and just throw it to the wind and see what happens.’”

He acknowledged that the public wasn’t informed about the shortcuts, asking, “Do you have any idea the lack of research that was done on those products?” Rys claimed, “People wanted it, we gave it to them.”

While public officials claimed the vaccines were “safe and effective,” Rys pushed back. “There’s no proof. None of that stuff was safe and effective,” he said, adding that the industry relies on a benefit-risk tradeoff to justify product launches.

Rys also pointed to government pressure through Operation Warp Speed. “The government is like, ‘We need help… You’re solving this problem,’” he said. “People panic, so they try to solve it in whatever way they think is good.”

America’s public health sector has emerged from the COVID crisis with severe reputational damage. People have simply lost trust in guidance from key institutions like the National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. ...

but there’s one area where federal officials can quickly make up some ground with the average American. They can reveal the secret royalties that change hands between pharmaceutical companies and government scientists, which could have enormous implications for our health. ...

It took the pandemic and mandated vaccinations for many to decide that perhaps Big Government and Big Pharma were much too close for comfort. Traditionally a concern for progressives skeptical of large corporations, it spilled over to conservatives who saw Washington elites trying to control their health decisions. During the pandemic, it became plain that those parties had been in bed together all along.

Indeed, a massive amount of money changes hands among the NIH, its scientists – public employees – and private entities like pharmaceuticals. Billions go out the door to fund research and hundreds of millions come back into NIH coffers through royalty payments.

Too much of this information is redacted, despite the potential for each of these transactions to create a conflict of interest. Auditors at Open the Books found some $710 million in royalties paid to government scientists as “inventors” during the Covid era (late 2021 through 2023). Going back to September 2009, the number rises to $1.039 billion. Add in the payments made to NIH subagencies (royalties are divided among inventors and NIH research centers), and the total becomes a staggering $2.685 billion. ...

Sen. Paul’s Royalty Transparency Act would force NIH and other government entities to disclose these payments as a matter of routine, and the HSGAC Committee voted 13-0 to advance it last week.

The new legislation would:

Require Executive Branch employees subject to the public financial disclosure reporting requirements of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 to disclose royalty payments for inventions developed during their employment with the federal government.

Agencies would be required to publicly post financial disclosure reports on their websites.

The bill would also require applicants for federal grants and contracts to disclose royalty payments to the government for the 10-year period preceding the grant or contract.

By the end of nineteenth century, food was dangerous. Lethal, even. "Milk" might contain formaldehyde, most often used to embalm corpses. Decaying meat was preserved with both salicylic acid, a pharmaceutical chemical, and borax, a compound first identified as a cleaning product. This was not by accident; food manufacturers had rushed to embrace the rise of industrial chemistry, and were knowingly selling harmful products. Unchecked by government regulation, basic safety, or even labelling requirements, they put profit before the health of their customers. By some estimates, in New York City alone, thousands of children were killed by "embalmed milk" every year. Citizens--activists, journalists, scientists, and women's groups--began agitating for change. But even as protective measures were enacted in Europe, American corporations blocked even modest regulations. Then, in 1883, Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley, a chemistry professor from Purdue University, was named chief chemist of the agriculture department, and the agency began methodically investigating food and drink fraud, even conducting shocking human tests on groups of young men who came to be known as, "The Poison Squad."

Over the next thirty years, a titanic struggle took place, with the courageous and fascinating Dr. Wiley campaigning indefatigably for food safety and consumer protection. Together with a gallant cast, including the muckraking reporter Upton Sinclair, whose fiction revealed the horrific truth about the Chicago stockyards; Fannie Farmer, then the most famous cookbook author in the country; and Henry J. Heinz, one of the few food producers who actively advocated for pure food, Dr. Wiley changed history. When the landmark 1906 Food and Drug Act was finally passed, it was known across the land, as "Dr. Wiley's Law."

We need to update that law to ban mRNA and "Canola" oil.

Professor Jiang Nails It: The Experimental "Vaccines" and the Collapse of Trust in Elites

Professor Jiang lays it out plain on why people have lost trust in institutions. Citing the example that governments and elites locked down entire nations, wrecked lives, and shoved unproven jabs down everyone's throats with zero real evidence that COVID was the apocalypse they claimed. Kids couldn't go to school, the poor couldn't work, and for what? A rushed, experimental mRNA concoction that we now know has caused more harm than good in countless cases. It's the kind of straight talk that's music to my ears as someone who's been skeptical of this whole mRNA push from day one. ...

In it, Professor Jiang points to COVID as a prime example of how elites have eroded trust. He says: "Then you had Covid, right? Covid, where the government, the elite, locked down the entire nation. Kids could not go to school, the poor could not go to work and make a living. And there was absolutely no evidence that Covid was actually dangerous. Okay? Then the government made everyone take an experimental vaccine." Boom. He's echoing what many of us skeptics have been screaming since 2020. No long-term studies, rushed under Operation Warp Speed, and pushed with mandates that trampled freedoms. And now? We're seeing the fallout—spiking excess deaths, myocarditis in young people, and a laundry list of side effects that Big Pharma and governments still downplay. ...

Governments colluded with pharma giants to roll out these experimental mRNA shots, hyping them as "safe and effective" while burying dissent. Remember how they censored doctors and scientists who raised alarms? How they coerced billions into taking something that hadn't been properly tested?

This isn't just incompetence—it's criminal. These institutions and elites played god with people's lives, turning the world into a giant lab experiment. They locked us down, destroyed economies, and injected experimental tech into arms under the guise of "public health." And for what? Billions in profits for Pfizer and Moderna, while everyday folks suffered. Kids lost years of education, mental health crises skyrocketed, and the poor got poorer. No accountability, no apologies. Just more gaslighting. We should be furious. These so-called leaders—politicians, health officials, and billionaire puppeteers—treated us like guinea pigs. They shattered trust in institutions, and as Professor Jiang says, today in America (and honestly, worldwide), there's no trusted institution left. Good riddance to that facade.

https://thenationaldesk.com/news/nation-world/doctors-testify-vaccine-side-effects-and-biden-admin-communication-mishaps-under-scrutiny

Dr. Jordan Vaughn, President of the Microvascular Research Foundation, testified on Capitol Hill Wednesday, during the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations' first hearing about the negative side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, criticizing the decision by public health officials in 2021 not to issue a Health Alert Network message when increased risks from the COVID-19 vaccine became apparent.

"Literally the job of the FDA. The job of CDC is to actually regulate our products and inform practitioners and people about the dangers that they might see as soon as they see them," said Vaughn. He added, "That health alert notice would’ve told physicians to be on the lookout for this because this is happening."

This was criminal dereliction of duty by the FDA and CDC. When will there be prosecutions?

A friend's reply:

"probably that's all queued up as soon as they finish the huge caseload from all the Epstein prosecutions that's clogging up the court system"

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/burning-man-ethos-friday-august-29

My first thought when I glanced at the ironic headline trumpeting the “growing sense of despair” at the CDC was how well it paralleled Americans’ growing sense of despair during the pandemic, a sense of despair that deepened every single time the CDC issued its next politically motivated health decree or mandate. ...

In a rare flash of self-awareness, another one of yesterday’s trio of articles concluded by unintentionally summarizing the CDC’s problem with politics:

Conservatives argue that government workers - many of whom
Mr. Trump derides as members of the "deep state" looking to
undermine his agenda - had accumulated too much power in
recent years, making decisions about the Covid-19 pandemic that
were unpopular among those on the right and viewed by them as
highly political.

Following that eye-popping paragraph, the Times wrapped the article by quoting Catholic University law professor Joel Alicea, who explained, “By making executive officials removable at will by the president, the Constitution ensures political accountability for them to the American people.”

See? They know what’s really causing all this. Accountability. But they don’t want to engage with those real arguments, preferring instead to battle slogans and strawmen with buzzwords like “authoritarianism” and “no kings.” And ironically, everything the Times reported in its three articles about Democrats’ and CDC employees’ response merely reinforced how politicized the massive health bureaucracy has become, even while Americans’ health has steadily worsened.

“There’s a lot of trouble at C.D.C.,” Secretary Kennedy said, “and it’s going to require getting rid of some people over the long term in order for us to change the institutional culture.” Hopefully. And he echoed the same point: “Anybody who lived through Covid saw all these bizarre recommendations that were not science-based, all the misinformation.”

This is criminal. Actually this is aggravated assault and attempted murder.

When the senators confabulate over “the science,” what they really mean is the armature of medical authority that has enabled the money-flow to their campaign committees (and eventually to their own bank accounts.) It’s that very scaffold of authority that has collapsed. Why? Because the medical authorities lied over and over about the Covid-19 episode, and especially about the vaccines, which were never properly tested, and were neither safe nor effective.

Your own doctors got paid extravagantly to push the vaccine. The so-called Pfizer Papers, collected, collated, and analyzed by Naomi Wolf’s organization (because nobody else would do it) showed the sloppiness of the whole process behind the vaccines’ development and release, and the pharma companies’ evasion of responsibility for the damage done. The medical journals lied about everything from the origin of the virus to the efficacy of the vaccine. The CDC campaigned against viable, inexpensive treatments for the virus. The CDC pushed the worthless, gamed PCR tests to jack up the case numbers. The CDC pushed the idiotic mask rules, school closings, business closures, and the vaccine mandates. The hospitals killed people with remdesivir and respirators, and got paid for it! The authority of all these parties is blown, especially the CDC’s — and these perfidious senators have the gall to hide behind this “science”?

Pfizer ... They're the ones that pushed the mandates. They funded grassroots organizations, medical organizations in the United States to push that mandates are necessary and they've made $100 billion in profit.

John Ioannidis also says when it comes to medicine, from his own analysis, the greater the financial interest in a given field, the, the less likely the research findings are to be true. And we're talking about one of the most lucrative products in the history of medicine, which is unsafe and defective and in my view will turn out to be one of the greatest medical mistakes. And in fact the mistake is one thing, but the COVID up and suppression of this information is criminal and people need to understand and treat it that way.

On Fox & Friends this weekend, Kennedy was asked and answered the most important question about the Centers for Disease Control:

ANCHOR: “What would you say is the last great success that our government public health agencies have had?”

RFK JR: “I don't think there have been successes. I think we've seen a 30- or 40-year decline in the agency because it's been infiltrated by the pharmaceutical companies. They’ve made a series of bad decisions. They launched a tsunami of addiction in this country.” ...

And bless him, Secretary Kennedy finally said it out loud, to a national audience. If you think about it, the awful Senate hearing last Thursday was really a miracle, because they are now actually debating these most important national issues— instead of lamely pretending they don’t exist. More, please.

Dr. Peter McCullough, a cardiologist who sounded the alarm about vaccine-induced myocarditis early in the pandemic, said public comments about this issue were “spot on.”

He added:

“Because the main goal of the CDC was to increase vaccination rates, the agency was biased and did not bring forward important safety information on a timely basis.

“The CDC should have installed an independent data safety and monitoring board to meet monthly during the campaign. Likely such a board would have shut down the CDC’s COVID-19 vaccine program for excess mortality in January 2021.”
