Both the National Health Federation and I are grateful for the interview on Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) by Politico, a mainstream media outlet. (See https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/14/its-a-maha-nation-now-00508287)
In that interview, I mentioned how most “health freedom” reforms were occurring not in Washington, D.C. but rather in the 50 States, because of the change in “culture.” This change in culture is a change in the zeitgeist (spirit of the times), which most experts believe must happen before politicians will change their votes.
I believe this cultural shift is reflected in a recent poll paid for by our friends at the Patient First Coalition. It (https://x.com/patientfirst47/status/1902004391604879796?s=46) found support for:
- clear labeling for what we eat or drink, or with which we are treated
- informed consent (via an end to mandates),
- honest science (that is, studies that actually have inert placebo control groups, unlike, for example, that placebo-free Danish study discounting any connection between autism and the vaccine adjuvant aluminum), and
- making corporations accountable for their harms (to which liability shields for pesticides, vaccines, or wireless injury run counter).
Despite being the World’s oldest health-freedom organization, and the main one during COVID-19 whose bicameral congressional letters were covered by Daily Caller and Epoch Times, our work on informed consent (or at the global Codex food standardization committees) hasn’t gotten much of any mainstream coverage until now. Maybe that’s a sign too of a social movement (or is it just an aberration)?
With COVID-19 corruption having quelled the vaccine-mandate edifice, keep in mind what NHF is hoping for in the next MAHA report is, among other things, stronger language on the newest front for Health Freedom, for which we have become the main lobbying organization: Telecom’s wireless mesh that already has left a third of the country harmed by its constantly emitted radiation.

During COVID-19, while many people were focused on protecting their lives and freedoms, industry took advantage of the distraction – channeling donations to Congress to pass laws that weaken informed consent and allow the rollout of smart meters and cell towers right outside our homes, workplaces, children’s schools, and community parks.
They’ve even got their propagandists in the media spewing talking points about the superiority of wireless over wired, as with this hit piece against Broadband: https://revolver.news/2025/08/trump-blows-up-dems-42-5b-broadband-boondoggle-that-fed-big-cable-despite-aocs-best-efforts/
Needless to say, NHF has submitted this letter to the editor as a rebuttal:
“Dear Revolver Editor, As the World’s oldest health-freedom organization, the National Health Federation strongly opposes threats to human health – including Telecom’s exploitation of the “broadband digital divide,” which the above article praised by encouraging dangerous substitutes for the wired Internet connections promised in the BEAD infrastructure law. The article fomented the industry talking point that fiber or cable broadband for rural homeowners is no more affordable or reliable than wireless alternatives. Under “tech neutrality,” the Verizons and T-Mobiles of the World want to claim families will garner just as fast, affordable, and reliable Internet with wireless as with wireline.
Industry admittedly is right when they are quoted in the article about getting rid of the DEI provisions, but NTIA (the agency that shares Telecom oversight with FCC) is using that as smokescreen to give handouts to Elon Musk and shortchange rural Americans. Hundreds of thousands of dollars per location connected with fiber is a ridiculous exaggeration – perhaps industry is cherry picking one or two outliers, which are not representative of the average rural connection costs for wired internet.
The article failed to include the facts: that any short-term savings to taxpayers via wireless disappear after the initial deployment, according to the Benton group (top industry analysts in Telecom and an organization not reputed to favor fiber). Wireless antennas and satellites only have a five-year lifespan. Paying for rural Americans’ satellite subscription fees is not a “generational investment” in broadband infrastructure, as promised under the BEAD program. It’s a Band aid that ends as soon as BEAD stops paying the monthly satellite subscription.
Wireless – even from Elon’s Starlink – never will upload or download at speeds as fast as fiber nor without the frustrating latency of wireless. Even the satellite industry’s chief lobbyist admits that fiber is like a Maserati, compared to slower satellite.
Regardless of slow, expensive and unreliable wireless, the article conveniently excluded the fact that in the Irregulators case, the DC Appeals Court in 2020 greenlighted State officials to audit what happened to the surcharge imposed and paid over the past several decades on every American’s landline bill in exchange for a promised wired connection that never happened. We will not let this scandal worth hundreds of billions of dollars be forgotten!
Finally, the article’s cavalier acceptance of Telecom lies for expensive, slow, and unreliable Internet ignored the elephant in the room – the danger of its emitted radiation. One-third of Americans already are sensitive to this exposure, up to 5% seriously so. RFK, Jr’s MAHA investigation of the cause of the real epidemic – chronic disease – includes electromagnetic radiation. The article’s acceptance of industry claims with zero research will only slow down connections, bankrupt taxpayers, frustrate consumers, and even endanger them. We’ve already paid for a wired connection that’s safer, faster, more affordable, and more reliable. Please no more industry infomercials.” Finally, credit must be given to HHS Secretary Kennedy for inviting organizations and experts to submit recommendations before the release of the next Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) report.
