Trump To Take On Big Pharma and Health Care Industry

Image: Trump to take on Big Pharma and get the healthcare industry back to treatment rather than profiteering

(NaturalNews) Without question President Donald J. Trump is shaking up “the establishment” in Washington, D.C.—including the media, academia, politics and the legalized bribery that takes place under the guise of “lobbying” and “campaign contributions.”

For example, Trump is the only president in modern history to show any interest at all in taking on Big Pharma in his bid to truly reform health care. He’s a billionaire, mind you, so he’s not worried about how he’s going to afford his next prescription or pay his monthly health premium (though we’ll be paying for it soon as taxpayers). But he seems to know instinctively that ordinary Americans are having difficulty paying for coverage and prescription medications.

But it’s not just ordinary folks pleased with Trump’s intention to take on the pharmaceutical industry; some health care providers are, too. And they say such reforms are long overdue. [RELATED: Stay current with the travails and pitfalls of modern health care at Medicine.news]

Writing at FoxNews.com, Dr. Kevin Campbell, assistant Professor of Medicine, Division of Cardiology, University of North Carolina and  President, K-Roc Consulting LLC, said such changes are needed to curb “drug makers’ greed.”

“Health care reform has been a big part of the election of 2016.  While the Affordable Care Act (aka ObamaCare) has taken center stage, many have wondered what may happen to the pharmaceutical and medical device industries under a Trump presidency.  [During Trump’s first press conference], President-elect Trump made the answer quite clear — no more price gouging,” Campbell wrote.

Continuing, he said Americans have been treated to massive price increases over the past year of very common, long-accessible drugs like the Epipen manufactured by Mylan. This company and its CEO, Heather Bresch, are only one example of price gouging, fixing and collusion among the various Big Pharma companies.

Several other medications are also skyrocketing, Campbell said, without any real reason or explanation given. At the same time drugs are going up hundreds of percent, CEO salaries are also increasing exponentially. Coincidence?

While there have been countless cases of inflated drug prices in recent months, a precedent was established by drug giant Pfizer in late 2016, when the company was fined by Britain’s National Health Service 85 million pounds (about $102.4 million) for unfairly raising the price of an old, well-established medication for the treatment of epilepsy by 2,400 percent.

“It is clear that price gouging is not limited to newly developed or expensive biologic/designer drugs—even the price of insulin (which has been around for decades) has gone up nearly 200 percent,” Campbell wrote. Patients need it and many other drugs daily just to stay alive.

But during his press conference, Trump took direct aim at Big Pharma, making it very clear that he intends to take new steps to rein in the pharmaceutical industry because “they are getting away with murder.”

Are You Ready For The Coming Armageddon? (Hint: It isn’t what you think)

Editor’s note: As always, use discernment.  Having said that, I have “seen” these things for years – some going back 25 years.  I have studied these issues inside out.  I have intended so much of this. Waited, at times very impatiently, for many of these events.  It has been a very arduous, long journey.  And it is Now Time – Go Time – to reveal this information for there are millions of us who intend the very reality as described below.  Call it a Universal Love Letter.  ♥

“Are You Ready For The Coming Armageddon?” – One Who Knows – 1.18.17

Are You Ready For The Coming Armageddon?

Make no mistake Armageddon is upon us. There will be utter destruction (De-Construction) everywhere in every way. Truth bombs will devastate entire populations at once, by the magnitude of their profound revelations. The foundations of everything we hold near and dear, will be wiped out with just a few words of devastating truth. There will be NO sacred beliefs left unscathed. Life as we know it will lie in ruins at our feet and nothing will ever be the same again. Very few beliefs will survive the onslaught, and what we hold as absolute truth, will disintegrate before our eyes. Are You Ready For This Coming Armageddon?

What Is Armageddon?

It is so interesting that Armageddon is defined in different ways from different perspectives. This is what James Gilliland says:

Quote:
“This wave [of energy] is bringing everything up [Into View], the masks are coming off and everything [True] will be revealed. Armageddon is defined as the great uncovering, no rock shall be left unturned. It is an internal movement of consciousness and energy; which will find its expression in the external – James Gilliland”

Source:
The Ascension Wave, Transdimensional War and the Days to Come

Yet, if we look up Merriam-Webster’s definition is says:

1) The site or time of a final and conclusive battle between the forces of good and evil

2) A usually vast decisive conflict or confrontation

Source:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Armageddon

Notice that Webster’s definition says it’s a final and conclusive battle of good and evil, and Gilliland’s definition says it is a revealing, uncovering, un-hiding. Clearly it means that the Truth will be uncovered (the Good) and the lies (The Evil) will be exposed. Interestingly, that is called a battle between good and evil which is usually a DECISIVE confrontation.

This is the same meaning from two different perspectives. Those who have lied to us, kept us ignorant, and perpetrated untold atrocities against us, are quite literally fighting to keep it a secret (Hidden). However, once the truth has been “Uncovered,” the battle is over in a decisive way. Clearly, once the truth is known (Proved to Satisfaction), the once mighty and powerful, will be reduced to whimpering, shameful, cowards, they actually are. Their hideousness will be on full display for all to see. They will never again command respect or hold power over others. Thus the decisive confrontation, called Armageddon.

It Is A War of Truth

So the battle of Armageddon, is the fight between keeping the truth covered up and revealing the truth to all. The good guys are actively pulling back the curtain to reveal the truth, while the bad guys are doing their best to keep it hidden. But truth is like a tear in the fabric of deceit, once it begins to rip open, it can hardly be stopped.

For so long, the CABAL had all the power in this battle to keep the truth hidden. They controlled the Media, the news, the movies, music, radio, politics, and the rich and powerful were under complete and utter control. Sure there were small battles here and there, but those who would try to disclose the truth, were ridiculed, debunked, or just killed off. Whistle Blowers were not applauded, they were jailed and executed. The battle of truth, Armageddon, has had to wait until the time was right.

However, with the advent of the Internet, the battle has taken a DECISIVE turn for the better. It reminds me of the game “Whack-A-Mole,” where as soon as you knock down a mole in one place, it just pops up again in another. In this real life game of “Whack-The-Truth,” the truth is showing up in so many places so often and in such overwhelming numbers, that it has gotten out of control for the CABAL. Between the cutting off of their money supplies, and the blowing up of their underground command centers, and the destruction of their HARP facilities, they have been unable to silence those who are bringing the truth forward for all to see. You have wiki leaks revealing their evil agendas, and Trump calling out the rigged elections and the corrupt media, and the unrelenting internet posters documenting and commenting on it all. It is clear that Armageddon, the final decisive battle of Truth, is upon us, and we shall be victorious.

There Will Be Causalities

Obviously, the Cabal will go down in utter failure and disgrace to say the least, and hang by their own deeds. However, that will not be the only Causalities in this Final Battle of truth. In the same way that war destroys buildings, infrastructure, and takes lives, this battle of Truth, will destroy the foundations of Trust, Knowledge, beliefs, and understanding, and take lives as well. In the blink of an eye, All truths will turn to lies, and the lies will become truths. This type of destruction (De-Construction) will be far greater than the loss of a building or a bridge. It will be the loss of trust and belief. All will have to be learned all over again. Many will not be able to take this upheaval and will perish as a result. But don’t worry, no one dies (Ascends) unless it is their higher will to do so.

Are You Ready For The Coming Losses?

It is so easy to get over the loss of a building or a bridge, that needs to be built again. Those kinds of losses are “outside” of us, Outside of who we are and what we believe. But, the losses to come, are with-in. That safe place where we know what is true and what is not, is going to be gutted like a fish, and no truth will be safe, no matter how sacred. This will be the greatest destruction of all, and the very heart of Armageddon, the battle for truth. How can one prepare for something like that? Only those having an open mind, with complete Faith in a Benevolent outcome will survive the coming Battle of Truth. What should you expect? Here are a few truths that may take a serious hit and even a reversal as a result of the coming revelations:

UFOs / Aliens

Expect to find out that the Cabal has been working with Aliens for thousands of years in secret, while denying that UFOs exist and claiming that there is no other life in the Universe.

NASA / Mars / Moon

Expect to learn that NASA was created as a diversion and a hoax to make you think that we are very limited in space travel, while in truth, we have had bases and colonies on Mars since the 50’s and have had bases on the dark side of the Moon for years.

Solid Earth / Hollow Earth / Inner Earth

Expect to find out that your school books and scientist claimed we had a solid Earth, to debunk any claims to the contrary. You will find out that the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth, was more truth than fiction. In the end, the truth becomes the lies and the fiction becomes the truth.

China / Russia / Iran / Israel / Saudi Arabia

Expect to find out that the countries that we have heard and been told are our enemies, were in fact our friends, and our friends were in fact our enemies. You will find that our Government has the enemies, not us the people. Frankly, it will turn out that our Government was our enemy as well.

Medicines / Doctors

Expect to find out that the medicines that we were forced to take were not meant to help us, but instead meant to harm and kill us. Most prescription drugs were designed to give us the problem or create new ones, so we could continually support the corrupt medical industry until our death. Expect to find out that the Medicine supported the medical industry, and the medical industry supported the medicine industry, milking us of our health, energy, vitality, and our money.

Religion

Expect to find out that our most beloved religious leaders were evil, and had a CABAL agenda. It is so horrible and unbelievable, that I even struggle to talk about it here. Just be prepared to find out, that the seemingly Purest, were actually the most evil in disguise.

School / Science / History

Expect to find out that nearly EVERYTHING we learned in school was either wrong, a flat out lie, had an agenda, or flawed. Remember that mandatory school, was mandatory conditioning. You will find out that our true history is far different that we have been taught, and the foundational elements of science, and science truths are in fact lies and misinformation. Expect to relearn at least 80-90% when the truth comes out.

Progress / Health

Expect to be blown away by the coming technology that has been held back from us. Free energy, anti-gravity, perfect health, longevity, travel to other planets and star systems, and personal abilities. Expect to find out that we have been held back in every way possible, from withholding technologies, to chemicals in our foods, water, and air to dumb us down, to movies and entertainment that promotes lower thought processes. Be prepared to discover that every possible method has been employed to reduce our mental abilities and retard our progress. The smartest among us were co-opted or killed.

Politics / Finances / NESARA

Expect to find out we have a new Republic as do most other countries in the World. Expect to discover that everything you have been seeing on TV is meaningless and that we already have an interim President and we will have elections all over again. This time they count. Expect to find out that the World has transitioned to a new financial system that mandates Gold backed currency for every nation, with fairness and transparency as well. Expect a new and completely different system of government in which you are not taxed, and instead you are not only given a guaranteed monthly income, but your Credit card, student loan, and mortgage debts will be forgiven as well.

Disclosure

Expect an announcement Worldwide on every TV, Radio, Tablet, Computer, and Phone, that we are not alone. That we are part of the Galactic Federation Of Planets, and that they are here to help us. Expect to look up in the skies and see Space ships as far as the eye can see. Expect ships to de-cloak on the ground ready to heal all who are sick. Expect this to be the beginning of a friendship with our space Brothers and Sisters, Inner Earth civilizations and those of Hollow Earth as well. This will herald the beginning of the new age of space travel for all, and a quick evolution to highly advanced technologies as well.

The Bottom Line

The bottom line is that this is a Battle of Truth, the Cabal Truth vs. the Real Truth. We have all been unwittingly taught and conditioned all of our lives by the Cabal’s truth which only served their agenda to keep us under control and in a slave mentality. At the final Battle of Truth, Armageddon, there will be a winner, the REAL Truth, and a looser, the Cabal Lies. No one is going to escape this battle without deep wounds by Truth. In the end, nothing will be unscathed, Religion, Medicine, Science, Politics, Fallen Men and Women, and everything else you believed was the truth.

How will you cope with the coming brutal truths? Will you fold and wither away in obscurity, or will you embrace the new Truths, rebuilding your beliefs on the foundations of the Real Truths? It is going to be work, to say the least. It will be the most important thing you do on your way to the new age of peace and prosperity. Your life MUST be built on a foundation of truth, and understanding. This will be your work in the short run, and in the long run, it will be to help others embrace the new Truth/Realty as well.

The future is not yet written. Like in the famous movie the “Christmas Carol,” these are but future images of what may be. I can only imagine what is to come, there may be less, but I expect way more. I am not going to argue the likely hood of any of these possible events, as they are my best guesses from what I know. Whether or not they happen exactly like I think they will, or it is different, matters not. All that matters is that Armageddon is upon us and VERY SOON ALL WILL BE REVEALED like it or not. Be prepared for everything you know to change from true to false, and from false to true. It will be a bumpy ride, but if you are alert to what may be coming, you will be better prepared to deal with the Truth when it gets here.

May The Coming Truth Be A Blessing To Your Life, and May You Rebound Quickly

Elderly/Disabled Couple Evicted From The Home They Owned After Failing To Pay Property Taxes

Editor’s note:  Heartbreaking.  Maddening.  Wrong.  Housing is a human right.  We are sovereign Beings who are owned by no one – including the State.  

By Claire Bernish

Albion, ME — Maine Governor Paul LePage wants to rewrite the law after becoming incensed at the plight of an elderly, disabled couple — one of whom is a veteran — who were evicted from their home of 33 years because they are too impoverished to pay taxes.

According to the Portland Press Herald, in December 2015, the town of Albion moved to foreclose on the “rundown camp” of National Guard and Marine veteran Richard Sukeforth and his wife, Leonette, when taxes went unpaid.

Then, the town put the couple’s home up for auction — it sold for just $6,500 — and the new owner, Jason Marks, kicked the two 80-year-olds to the curb last week.

LePage is irate — and wants to ensure this can never happen again.

“He’s living in poverty,” he said of Richard in an interview with the Morning Sentinel. “Now, we’re throwing him out on the street. That’s just awful.”

“I’m livid about it,” LePage asserted of the ‘legal’ but seemingly unscrupulous eviction, “and I think we have to have laws to protect our most vulnerable.”

LePage appealed to nonprofit Pine Tree Legal — an advocacy group providing free legal advice for Maine residents with limited income — but, it turns out, the eviction followed the letter of the law.

Sheldan Nidle Update ~ January 10, 2017

12 Chicchan, 8 Chen, 13 Caban

Dratzo! The forward motion of the Elders’ plan to safely introduce the global RV continues. Meanwhile, the dark’s counterpunches are in place as well, confirming that special security is more than justified. Because of what is transpiring, we have set up safety points to counteract and defeat the heinous goals of the dark. The first much-needed monies are in the process of being delivered to their destinations. These initial successes show just how well formulated are our plans for defeating the dark’s evil designs. This whole complex set of special strategies is proving just how effective our joint defenses truly are. Using these successes we intend to create ongoing tactics that can defeat the well-equipped forces of the dark. Hence, we are very close to a justly earned triumph over them. We are allocating the time remaining in this Gregorian month to complete the rest of our complicated plans. These are to allow us in due course to complete a massive arrest of the dark leadership, and finally to put an end to their nefarious goals for our defeat. Certainly, the end is approaching for the dark old order that ran this surface reality for nearly 13 millennia!

A general purge of the current American republic is under way. In truth, it was founded in 1871 and is the play child of the American autocracy. It is to be toppled by the true, de facto NESARA Republic. The completion of this project remains unclear. We are told that the current incoming administration is to declare this republic, but we remain unconvinced of this and are laying out a blueprint to see that this does indeed occur. We have therefore concentrated on assuring that this goal stays on track and becomes a manifested reality. To that end, we are carefully observing this new administration to ensure that it still plans to announce the new republic. Once this does manifest, plans exist to spread a global alteration that is to modify how this worldwide geopolitical system operates. Until then, we are watching attentively to sense what is really developing in America. We intend to do whatever is necessary to transform the way your present reality works. We are determined to achieve total victory!

A Vision for the New Earth

♥♥♥

Aliyah Marr

I am going to discuss the vision I had regarding how the old paradigm can transition into a new paradigm easily, safely, joyfully. The vision I had is that all the organizations in which people live and work — all the ones that they have come to depend upon, that they would be confused and bereft if they were to suddenly disappear.

All the organizations can transform into their higher dimensional versions. And that transformation is initiated by a vibrational shift among the populace that gets them to the level which they can understand the transition and integrate it very easily into their hearts and minds and in their physical existence.

Let’s take these organizations one by one just as samples.

We see corporations turning into cooperatives being owned and operated by the people who are the employees. And therefore they have a vested interest in these organizations. Going to work is fun and inspiring; everyone works in the position that they are most challenged and inspired by and that they feel the best at. And they can easily move from position to position, according to what they desire at the time.

The army becomes the army corps of engineers. Instead of an underlying intent of destruction, its underlying intent transforms to construction— reconstruction. They still use the same organization, the same kind of hierarchy in the beginning of the transition, and that makes everyone feel comfortable and happy, but their underlying intent has completely changed. So the same organization can be used for construction instead of destruction. So that makes a very easy way to transform the army into a much higher dimensional entity.

The navy becomes the oceanographers whose job is to protect the ocean and to help restore it to pristine natural beauty. So each one of these things is its higher dimensional [version]; its underlying intent has changed. And that intent is aligned with the higher self of the Earth as well as the higher selves of all the humans and the other sentient beings and all the beings on Earth; that intent is aligned with the new Earth.

That is the transitional phase.

Money becomes a means of appreciation because everyone is starting to realize that they don’t have to work to live on the Earth; they don’t have to pay to live on the Earth. People don’t have a real need to be greedy or to have more than anyone else as a form of protection because survival-based thinking is replaced by inclusion and love, which is the higher dimensional version of the base-level programming.

The base-level programming of survival thinking is what supports the old matrix. The new matrix is based upon love and inclusion: higher dimensional. And it requires that everyone get on board with that kind of thinking. So money might be necessary in the transitional phase, but it is only going to be returned to its original intent, which is a medium of exchange. So it [will] help to “grease the wheels,” so to speak.

The vision that I have for the component of the New Earth that I want to create is an online as well as physical—it has physical versions of it—and it is basically a creative center, and people can volunteer to do work in different places according to the needs of those places. So, for instance, there is a village in Africa that needs a better supply of water. [The site would supply experts] who know how to supply water. So the village in Africa that needs water.

You have this huge internet community: I call it the ImagiNation. It is made up of [creative] people who have the ability to imagine a new future, to imagine different constructs, who can make new things. And with this new thinking and the new intent underlying everything, people understand that when they go to help someone else, that they will be provided for while they are there.

This village in Africa that needs a new water supply, people that are experts in this, or have a vision, they would go there, they would spearhead the project. The resources of the area would be used, the people that are the workers would be the [labor force] from the area, the tribe, the community.

Everything would be local as much as possible. And if companies had to come in to help with this they may be able to make money from this, but the primary purpose of this is to support the community.

These creative people would then be going from community to community; they would be able to travel and to be supported in these communities and be supported while they are there. Their reputation is their currency so the creative [experts] are known for what they do, and their reputation precedes them, and they are “hired” to do this, but they can live anywhere in the world according to what they want and what they can do.

I see this as a very easy and fun and enjoyable transition. We have the ability to do this; we need the support of our higher selves to anchor this into reality. We are holding the intent for this— the vision for this. We know that every part of society can be changed overnight; this [transition] can be like wildfire spreading across the Earth where people jump on board because it is so much fun.

It is so much more fun to create something than to destroy something. It is so much more fun to live in community and harmony than it is to be constantly battling with each other; at odds and having to eek out your existence or defend your property. That’s the old paradigm that no longer needs to exist.

So we are holding the space for this [vision] and as women we are bringing it through our bodies into the Earth. [Breathing] Bring it in… anchor it…”Let it be real” — that’s the phrase I am getting…”Let it be real.” Let the vision be real.

People with money are going to start to realize that they can turn around and support this instead of supporting what they are supporting. They can turn around and support the growth of the New Earth, now, because it is needed now. They have the contacts, they have the money; they can help make this transition much, much, much easier. We are asking them—their higher selves—to release, to release the greed, to release the need for self-protection. And to join the party.

College Student Earns 4.0 – Drops Out And Says “You Are Being Scammed”

Lance Schuttler, The Mind Unleashed
Waking Times Media

Billy Williams just finished his first college semester and did so with the all-impressive 4.0 GPA. Instead of celebrating his accomplishments with friends and family, he decided to drop out of college entirely.

Billy made a facebook post that is now going viral in which he explains his reasoning for dropping out:

“Now that I’ve finished my first semester I think it’s safe to say… FUCK COLLEGE. Now before all you of you go batshit crazy… I have a few points to make.

1. Yes I have dropped out after finishing my first semester (with a 4.0 GPA). And it’s one of the best choices I’ve ever made. Not because I am averse to learning, but actually the exact opposite.

2. YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED. You may not see it today or tomorrow, but you will see it some day. Heck you may have already seen it if you’ve been through college. You are being put thousands into debt to learn things you will never even use. Wasting 4 years of your life to be stuck at a paycheck that grows slower than the rate of inflation. Paying $200 for a $6 textbook. Being taught by teacher’s who have never done what they’re teaching. Average income has increased 5x over the last 40 years while cost of college has increased 18x. You’re spending thousands of dollars to learn information you won’t ever even use just to get a piece of paper. I once even had an engineer tell me “I learned more in my first 30 days working than in my 5 years of college.” What does that tell you about this system? There are about a million more ways you’re being scammed into this.. just watch the video i’m gonna comment if you want to see more.’

Elon Musk Thinks Universal Income is Answer to Automation Taking Human Jobs

BY ADARIO STRANGE

Tech innovators in the self-driving car and AI industries talk a lot about how many human jobs will be innovated out of existence, but they rarely explain what will happen to all those newly jobless humans. As usual, Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk responds to an obvious question with an answer that may surprise some.In an interview with CNBC on Friday, Musk said that he believes the solution to taking care of human workers who are displaced by robots and software is creating a (presumably government-backed) universal basic income for all.

“There’s a pretty good chance we end up with a universal basic income, or something like that, due to automation,” said Musk. “I’m not sure what else one would do. That’s what I think would happen.”

The idea sounds great, and makes perfect sense in an emerging jobs landscape where automation in fast food, banks, customer service and, soon, deliveries are slowing erasing the incomes of vast swaths of middle and low-income U.S. citizens.
