Trump fulfills only the promises he made to his billionaires.
9 February 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)
Trump is an extremely activist President, who, even after only 20 days into his second term, has already made crystal clear to almost everyone, that, as I had headlined on November 12th just seven days after his re-election, “Trump Has Ripped Us Off Like The Democrats Did”. I listed, there, almost all of the progressive promises that Trump had made during his campaign, and the evidences, even so soon, that he was now, after the election, acting, making decisions, in the exact opposite direction — as an actually fascist head-of-state.
In that list of his progressive promises, I hadn’t included these, from his 12 August 2024 “Turning Point rally in Glendale, Arizona”, introducing RFK Jr.:
Donald Trump (42:47):
Amazing. Soon after I was, I can’t even believe I have to say this, nearly assassinated in Pennsylvania last month, Bobby called me to express his best wishes. He knows firsthand the risks incurred by leaders who stand up to the corrupt political establishment. When you stand up, you bring on some trouble for yourself, but you have to do what’s right. You have to do what’s right for the country. I will tell you, we are both in this to do what’s right for the country. That’s one thing I can tell you. He lost his father and uncle in service to our country, and Bobby himself was subject to repeated threats to his safety during the course of his campaign while being denied protection by the Harris-Biden administration.
(43:41)
And this is a tribute in honor of Bobby. I am announcing tonight that upon my election, I will establish a new independent Presidential Commission on Assassination Attempts, and they will be tasked with releasing all of the remaining documents pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. And they will also conduct a rigorous review of the attack last month. But I tell you, I have never had more people ask me, “Please sir, release the documents on the Kennedy assassination,” and we’re going to do that.
(44:39)
I also want to salute Bobby’s decades of work as an advocate for the health of our families and our children. Nobody’s done more. Millions and millions of Americans who want clean air, clean water and a healthy nation have concerns about toxins in our environment and pesticides in our food. That’s why today I’m repeating my pledge to establish a panel, top experts working with Bobby to investigate what is causing the decades-long increase in chronic health problems and childhood diseases, including autoimmune disorders, autism, obesity, infertility, and many more. We want every child in America to grow up and to live a long and healthy life.
On January 28th, Max Jones and the great investigative journalist Whitney Webb issued a blockbuster news-report saying that President Trump has appointed directly under RFK Jr., as the second-in command at the Health and Human Services “HHS” Department, Jim O’Neill, who will actually be running the Department and comes from a background of exactly what RFK Jr. has been warring against, so that Kennedy won’t actually be running the Department even if he becomes confirmed by the Senate. The article was titled “Thiel-Linked HHS Nominee Threatens MAHA Ambitions with Biotech Stance. Biotech investor and Peter Thiel associate Jim O’Neill is poised to usher in a deregulatory paradigm that would allow a proliferation of dubious products on the US market under the guise of ‘innovation’ and ‘efficiency’.”
Then, on January 31st, “Redacted” headlined an interview of “Whitney Webb: ‘These people are about to UNDERMINE RFK, Jr. and the MAHA movement’. Does Trump know?” and she summarized there the article. At 6:30 the interview introduced the Jim-O’Neill problem, and at 15:30 she said:
15:25
Trump decided to appoint RFK Jr as head of HH and then appoint Jim O'Neill as the
15:31
deputy uh HHS secretary, because, yes, it absolutely uh does seem to conflict
15:36
rather jarringly, um, and the fact that O'Neill in his position if confirmed
15:43
would be managing the day-to-day operations, um, of HHS, including what the
15:48
FDA does, what the CDC does, and things of that nature. He could easily undermine any sort of MAHA [Make America Healthy Again] uh policy, that RFK
15:57
tries to impose. Yeah, that's what I'm worried about, that's what I'm worried about, he'd be undermining everything he [RFK Jr.]
16:02
does. You'd have somebody sort of gatekeeping and not allowing we know these Chiefs of Staff,
16:09
right? I mean they keep things from the President all the time, so he might not even be aware that someone was trying to meet with him to raise a red
16:16
flag concern. If he's doing that in this role at HHS, then RFK Jr. might not be aware of certain things. I don't know.
16:23
It's really troubling, exactly, and also the Chief of Staff that was appointed to essentially manage you know RFK Jr.’s
16:30
portfolio. Who's going to be the Chief of Staff, uh, for him, is a woman named Heather Flick, uh, who previously
16:36
played a major role in HHS under, uh, Trump's previous HHS secretary, Alex Azar,
16:42
who is a former head of Eli Lily, a major pharmaceutical company, and has sort of
16:47
been uh blamed for some of the big Pharma patronage that happened in the uh you know early covid-19 era before the
16:54
Biden Administration came in, um, and, you know, she's essentially been, um, framed as
17:01
someone that will keep, you know, basically babysit, RFK Jr., at least that's sort of how the Wall Street Journal [headlining “Trump Team Sidelines RFK Jr.’s Antivaccine Aides”]
17:07
recently framed it, and what exactly does that mean when you combine her, um, appointment, with someone like, um, you
17:12
know, Jim O'Neill being Deputy, right, and so, essentially, what I think people should look at again is even if RFK is
17:19
confirmed, uh, there needs to be a focus and and pressure, placed on these other people, and that's especially true of
17:25
someone like Jim O’Neill, who also has to go through, uh, confirmation, so anyone that is, you know, vocally supporting you
17:31
know, RFK Jr., with the hopes that he'll fulfill um part of this broader Make America Healthy Again agenda, should also
17:38
consider, um, opposing the confirmation of Jim O’Neill, um, and also opposing this, uh,
17:44
you know, this type of deregulatory paradigm, uh, that he wants to impose, because, of course, Jim O'Neill frames it
17:51
as free market Innovation, but it would just be a field day, um, for crony capitalism at the end of the day, and
17:58
also, um, I forgot to add, um one of the other, um, some of the figures that have inspired that he's cited as inspiring
18:05
his views on eliminating efficacy testing, uh, say that the efficacy data should be tested on
18:11
patients after these drugs are administered to them, uh through bio-surveillance, uh, including through
18:17
digital wearables, and that big pharmaceutical companies, the producers of those products, should be given access
18:23
to the data so that they can jack up the price, uh, you know, depending on how quote quote effective, uh, the drug is, based on
18:31
this data, and it's also a way to surveil, you know, what's going on inside people's bodies, which is eerily
18:37
reminiscent of things said by people like Yuval Noah Harari, um, you know, who’s, you know, affiliated with the World
18:43
Economic Forum, talking about, uh, the utility how the next Frontier of mass surveillance is to surveil all that's
18:49
going on inside people's bodies, and it's quite disturbing that [Peter Theil’s] Palantir has now taken over major functions of HHS,
18:57
including at the CDC, um, in other aspects, um, of agency functions, and because
19:04
of O'Neill's deep ties to both Palantir and Peter Thiel.
So, this is a deceitful set-up by Trump, to further mega-enrich his billionaire friends even in the instances where to the public it SEEMS that he is trying to help the citizenry. All of this is based on deceiving the public so as to call their regime a democracy, but that is based totally on constantly deceiving the public. It is actually a dictatorship by the billionaires.
Recently at the World Economic Forum, the major U.S. regime agent (U.S. stooge leader), Ursula von der Leyen, who runs the EU, blamed not the U.S.-imposed anti-Russia economic sanctions (which the U.S. regime requires its colonies to adhere to) but instead blamed Russia, for Europe’s economic decline: “Before the start of Putin’s war, Europe got 45% of its gas supplies, and 50% of its coal imports, from Russia. Russia was also one of our largest oil suppliers. This energy APPEARED cheap [it cost around one-fourth as much as that from any of the other countries], but it exposed us to blackmail. So, when Putin’s tanks rolled into Ukraine, Putin cut us off our gas supplies, and, in return, we essentially reduced our dependency on Russian fossil fuels in record time. Our gas imports from Russia went down by roughly 75%. And now we import from Russia only 3% of our oil, and no coal at all anymore.” Russia didn’t “cut Europe off” but Europe obeyed Uncle Sam’s command and banned Russian energy. And now most of Europe’s energy comes from America and costs five times what Europe had been paying to Russia. America’s billionaires profit handsomely as a result. So: this regime of lies is throughout the empire, not MERELY inside the U.S.
If there won’t be a Second American Revolution, the result for the American people will inevitably be that they’re to be flushed down the toilet (right along with the rest of the world), and the robbery of the country by its super-rich will simply intensify even further. It won’t get any better, only much worse. That’s already quite clear.
PS: If you like this article, please email it to all your friends or otherwise let others know about it. None of the U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media will likely publish it (nor link to it, since doing that might also hurt them with Google or etc.). I am not asking for money, but I am asking my readers to spread my articles far and wide, because I specialize in documenting what the Deep State is constantly hiding — what the ‘news’-media ignore if they can, and deny if they must. This is, in fact, today’s samizdat.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
