Control the Food/ Control the People. Fix the Food/ Fix Your Health!
Quite often I feel like the luckiest man alive. I married the love of my life Ann (Holmes) Miller who i met while in medical school some 40 years ago. It still amazes me that this country boy from rural Virginia convinced this gorgeous, God loving woman to marry me. Unbeknownst to me we shared many of the same dreams. One of which was to live on a farm and raised livestock. We happen to live in one of the most naturally beautiful places on earth, the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia where there are no stoplights, fast food restaurants or Big Box stores. When we leave for work each morning, we take a left out of our driveway and drive ½ mile to our medical practice

I’ve spent my lifetime raising registered Angus cattle and have nearly 40 of experience in Emergency and Family Medicine. During my career as a cattleman, I’ve seen the damage that the centralized control of the Beef industry has had on family farmers and ranchers as well as rural communities. Like many of my colleagues in the medical freedom movement, I’ve seen the consequences of the centralized control of medicine and the harm it’s done to our patients.
We are up against a massive psyops and propaganda war generated by powerful Globalists, Corporations and Governments that wish to gain total control over every aspect of our lives. This all-out assault we now are seeing is threatening our civil liberties, freedom, the constitution and all of western civilization.
THEIR TACTICS:
A. Instill fear – They conflate and exaggerate issues such as fear of health emergencies (Covid-19, Disease X and most recently Avian Influenza), and “Climate Change” in order to gain compliance so we will voluntarily give up our freedoms and civil liberties!
B. Divide We the People- Along lines of race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status and political ideology. This is used to distract and focus our attention from their agenda driven policy and power grabs.
C. Control the money- If “they” can Institute a Central Digital Bank Currency they can force compliance through ESG and a social credit score system. Just look at how Justin Trudeau and the central planners broke the Canadian Trucker strike/ protest of Covid 19 “vaccine” mandates. (And I use the term vaccine loosely)
D. Control Health Care- We’ve just lived through nearly 4 years of medical tyranny resulting from the corporate, NGO and governmental control of healthcare and the destruction of the doctor-patient relationship. They continue this assault on medical freedom through the WHO pandemic treaty which if approved by executive action will destroy our freedoms and hand over our sovereignty to an unelected international organization.
E. Destroy the 2nd Amendment-History shows that those that seek to remove our means of self-defense mean to control us. It has never ended well when dictators have disarmed their citizens.
F. Suspend Free Speech- Censorship in the name of “Misinformation” in order to “protect democracy” is an oxymoron. Free speech is fundamental in a free and open society. Even if you disagree with that speech. It is essential for innovation and progress of society.
G. Control the Food Supply- Henry Kissinger once stated that those who control the food supply control the people. If we cannot grow our own food we will be forced to comply!
As I’ve said for many years, Food Security is National Security.
Bad Nutritional Advice is Deadly.
Most of you have seen photos of people on crowded beaches and public places comparing the 1970s to today. It is obvious we have a health crisis caused by an obesity epidemic. What has changed? Not genetics. Obesity has exploded over the last three to four decades because of what we eat. I contend this is a direct result of the government sponsored dietary guidelines and the resultant morally corrupt behavior of the mega food conglomerates with their development of ultra processed foods (UPFs) that meet these dietary guidelines. Like many other government agencies, the Dietary Guidelines council is captured by the industry it regulates.
These guidelines were originally released in 1980 and are modified every 5 years. They called for dramatic decreases in consumption of ancestral foods, animal protein and saturated animal fats and are replaced by low fat, high carbohydrate foods loaded with addictive inflammatory vegetable seed oils.
They swap:
Animal fat for seed oils
Real food for ultra-processed foods (UPFs)
Animal based for plant based.
Protein for carbohydrates
High fat for low fat & high sugar.
Today Americans are fatter and sicker than ever before in history. The average woman of today weighs the same as that of the average male in 1960!
What happened?
A physiologist named Ancel Keyes published the seven countries study in the 1960s to prove his hypothesis that consumption of saturated fat from animals was the root cause of heart disease. He studied the diet of populations worldwide to prove this hypothesis. Starting out with 23 separate countries his final analysis was limited to the 7 that reinforced his agenda.
The Sugar Research Foundation (SRF) paid 3 Harvard researchers to focus on the harms of saturated fat and deflect attention away from sugar. Far too often results in scientific research today is dependent upon the desired outcome of those funding that research.
Contradictory evidence:
From 1968 to 1973 Keys and fellow researcher Ivan Lantz performed a randomized controlled trial on adult males 65 and older. But they never published the results.
The control group consumed foods high in saturated animal fat while the intervention group consumed low fat plant-based foods. It wasn’t until 2013 that the results were published after the raw study data was found in the estate of Ivan Lantz. While total cholesterol did drop in the interventional group there was no mortality benefit and no benefit in coronary artery disease. What the data did show: for every 30 mg/dl reduction in total cholesterol all-cause mortality increased by 22%.
David Ludwig of Harvard performed a study in overweight young males in 1999 comparing the effect of low glycemic index foods for breakfast (eggs) with higher carbohydrate Oatmeal. Each group was fed the same number of calories for breakfast. The higher glycemic group went on to consume 81% more calories the rest of the day as well as having significant increases in insulin, cortisol, and epinephrine levels.
In November 2023 The University of Chicago published a study that showed transvaccinic acid (fatty acid) found in beef and dairy products, enhances the ability of CD8-T cells to infiltrate and kill cancer cells.
In 2013 the British Medical Journal published a study showing that replacing saturated animal fats with plant based linoleic acid resulted in an increase in heart disease and all-cause mortality.
The introduction of seed oils.
In the 1990s Big Food started incorporating vegetable seed oils into UPFs to enhance profits. This introduction coincides with the increase in obesity and chronic disease seen in this country.
Despite all this real-world evidence, our government agencies, and the Globalists (UN, WEF, Gates Foundation, and WHO) all call for a dramatic reduction in meat consumption in the name of health as well as their agenda driven “Climate Change” narrative.

The Safety and Security of our food system
For decades there has been a War on Ranchers and Family Farms. But in reality, it is a war on the American people and the freedom to enjoy a safe, secure and abundant food supply! We are experiencing a massive land grab and assault on our food supply sovereignty like never before in the history of the great republic.
During my lifetime, we have seen massive monopolies develop in the beef industry. In 1980 the BIG 4 Packers controlled 36% of the world’s beef processing. Today these 4 multinational corporations dominate and control 85% of the cattle processing worldwide. These companies include Cargill, Tyson Foods, which is heavily invested in by China, JBS a Brazilian company with a long history of bribery and corruption and Marfrig another Brazilian owned company.
Through mergers and acquisitions allowed by the Department of Justice, anti-competitive practices squeezing out competition and expensive burdensome bureaucratic regulation they are in firm control the world's protein market. This market monopoly allows them to depress live cattle prices and inflate consumer prices. Their profit margins have risen while farmers and ranchers are economically squeezed out of business daily. Losing our ability to produce food as a nation by this assault on small family farms and ranches is a national security issue of great importance.
These monopolies exert their power through lobbying, donations, and anticompetitive and predatory practices. They control the largest and wealthiest beef lobby in the country, The National Cattlemen's Beef Association, NCBA. This Trade Organization claims to represent the BEEF industry, with one voice for one industry. They claim to represent cattle farmers and ranchers but regularly lobby against us in matters that would be financially detrimental to the Packers. They use a lion's share of the $80 million Government mandated Beef Checkoff to lobby against those that fund it, our nation’s family farmers and ranchers. The results have been devastating to not only for cattle producers, the economy of rural America but also to the safety, abundance and nutritional value of the foods available to consumers at the grocery store. In the 1980s America's beef producers earned 63% of the consumer dollar, while the Packers and retailers garnered 37%. Today those numbers have reversed.
In the last four decades we have lost 43% of our nation's ranchers, 7 million head of beef cattle and 54% of inspected meat processing plants. Today our national cow herd numbers have shrunk to a 73-year low. Cattle producers are getting older and retiring, and the next generation has been reluctant to replace them.
Examples of how our government makes it even tougher for the family farmer and rancher.
NAFTA and now USMCA along with other trade agreements have been devastating not only to our manufacturing industry but to our cattle producers. Mandatory COOL was a law in place dictating that the beef and pork you buy at the grocery store must carry a label showing where that meat was born, raised and processed. In 2015 the World Trade Organization (WTO) based on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) ruled mandated Country-of-Origin Labeling (mCOOL) law was anticompetitive and harming the markets of Mexico and Canada. As a result of their decision, the WTO awarded retaliatory tariffs to Mexico and Canada. In a panicked knee jerk reaction Congress repealed mCOOL and President Obama signed it. Our live cattle markets dropped 40% over the next two weeks. This was devastating not only to farmers and ranchers in this country but in Mexico and Canada as their markets dropped with ours.
The Product of the USA label definition then reverted to a past USDA ruling that meat could bear PRODUCT OF USA if it were significantly transformed within our borders. Their definition of significant transformation is slicing or repackaging. As a result, you can no longer identify where your meat comes from! American ranchers can no longer accurately identify our superior and more desired product. The packer cartel used this ruling to confuse and mislead consumers, pass along foreign beef as a product of the American rancher and depress domestic live cattle prices. The NCBA and American Farm Bureau continue to oppose mCOOL on the meat that you buy!
In 2019 US Cattlemen’s Association petitioned FSIS/ USDA to close the loophole that allowed foreign beef to be labeled Product of the USA. Only recently after over 4 years did FSIS come back with a decision that would fix this deceptive mislabeling. However, in their ultimate bureaucratic wisdom, this final rule will not go into effect until 2026.
More examples of greed and power of the Big Four Packers is what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic. Workers in some of their large packing plants fell ill and the plants were temporarily closed. This sent rumors and shockwaves throughout our industry and the PACKERS pushed live cattle market prices lower and consumer prices higher. Average Packer profits per beef carcass during that time frame were reported between $1000 & $2000 per head. Consumers saw shortages at the meat counter and for the first time in my lifetime started being concerned about their food supply and beef.
The Avian influenza outbreak that occurred 2 months ago in a Texas dairy is being used as fear porn by those who stand to profit. The USDA has overreacted and now the testing of all dairy cattle before movement is mandated by the Secretary of Agriculture. They also have PCR tested ground beef at multiple retail locations across the country for Avian Influenza. This has harmed consumer confidence and done nothing for public health. All because one worker in the affected dairy came down with red eyes and a runny nose.
Scary Facts
The Irish Govt has culled 200,000 head of cattle to meet Climate Goals.
Farmers in the Netherlands are being displaced from their lands to meet NET ZERO goals.
As a result of the lack of a competitive supply and demand free market many farmers and ranchers are bypassing the Industrial Beef Packer Complex with ranch & farm to table businesses. But recent EPA overreach is making that even harder.
In January 2024 the Biden EPA based on “their” interpretation of THE CLEAN WATER ACT proposed a new rule that will bring nearly 4,000 Meat Processing facilities under its jurisdiction. After an abbreviated comment period (mere window dressing) that closed March 25, 2024, they implemented this ruling which mandates upgrades in Packing facilities to “gasify” N and P rich effluent to the estimated tune of between $.5-$1.5 million. (N & P are regularly sold by large Ag Conglomerates as fertilizers to homeowners, Golf course and farmers all over the world) This gasification will turn solid fertilizer into CO2 and methane! For anyone that truly believes in GREENHOUSE GASES and CLIMATE CHANGE does this sound rational? This will force many small and regional meat processing plants to close and have far reaching consequences on consumer prices with further loss of producers and tens of thousands of jobs! Facilities may bypass these new regulations by drastically reducing their weekly pounds processed. Does this sound like the WHO/ Gates Foundation agenda to reduce meat consumption?
As you can see the war on farmers and ranchers is really a war on you, the American people. They are using junk science, environmental and climate change agendas to regulate and destroy our ability to produce our own food and our ability to choose what we eat and where it comes from. CONTROL THE FOOD and CONTROL THE PEOPLE!
Addressing mRNA in livestock
There are no mRNA gene therapy vaccines currently licensed for use in BEEF cattle in the USA. There is one licensed for use in swine. As with the C19 shots the studies have been completely opaque.
The United States Cattlemen’s Association became the first national livestock organization to pass a resolution against the use of mRNA in livestock as well as all food.
While farmers and ranchers are more than hesitant to use this technology my concern is that animal health companies and the GLOBALISTS may use a disease outbreak (Avian Influenza) to get the livestock industry to adopt this dangerous technology. Exactly like they did during Covid-19.
What should you do?
Get your body and mind strong through a healthy diet devoid of processed and ultra processed foods! Exercise, take Vit D and get out in the sunshine daily. Be accountable for your health and wellbeing. Becoming strong physically and mentally will provide you with the confidence to stand up and say no to propaganda, resist mind control, call out tyranny as well as setting an example for others to follow.
If you suffer from obesity or other chronic disease or just want to feel younger and better, I strongly recommend the Carnivore Diet and Intermittent Fasting! Both of these dietary strategies will stimulate AUTOPHAGY your body’s self-repair mechanism. In our medical practice we’ve had tremendous success using these strategies in reversing chronic inflammatory conditions and diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, IBS, IDB (Crohn’s and UC), arthritis, anxiety, and depression. People on the Carnivore diet report higher mental clarity and an improved sense of wellbeing. The results are truly amazing.
Source your food from the source! A regionalized decentralized food system is more resilient and healthier. Most major cities and urban areas are well within driving distance of farms and ranches. These small family farmers and ranchers are integral members of our communities. We love the land, the animals we raise and the communities in which they live. Whole unprocessed foods raised by these stewards of the land taste better, are superior in nutrition, and free of harmful chemicals and additives! Develop a personal relationship with these people and get to know their agricultural practices. It will be mutually beneficial. By financially supporting producers of your food, you will provide an economic revenue stream that will allow us and future generations to continue doing what we love, and you will be much healthier and happier. You will develop a lasting connection with the earth and soil.
Learn to be more self-sufficient. Grow a garden, buy land if possible and learn about animal husbandry.
Demand lawmakers strengthen antitrust laws and that the Department of Justice enforce existing laws against monopolies and anti-competitive practices. Break them up as the government did to Standard Oil in 1929. Until that happens these monopolies will continue exert their power to destroy free market competition, suppress innovation, harm local economies, increase consumer prices and run family farmers and ranchers from the land.
For those looking for a healthy source of beef I recommend you visit www.beefinitiative.com and you’ll find a listing of ranchers across the nation with superior beef available.
Become familiar with and support true producer and family ranch friendly agricultural organizations such as The United States Cattlemen's Association and the Beef Initiative which is working to promote a direct person to person relationship between ranchers and consumers.
Demand our elected officials represent we the people! Demand they legislate and govern with our interests in mind and not that of the special interests and monopolistic corporations! Demand they no longer abdicate these responsibilities of law making set forth in our constitution by allowing the unelected bureaucracy to rule with impunity!
Some Final comments
It is our moral obligation to our friends, family and future generations to stand up and call out injustice, seek truth, and fight back against the psychopathic globalists that wish to enslave us, take our freedoms, our private property rights, and end western civilization. This will not go away by itself. We all must display the Moral Courage to standup! Is there a risk? Absolutely, but inaction presents a far greater risk!
All that is needed for tyranny to exist is for many good men and women to do nothing.
