Americans for Ingredient Transparency: The Industrial Food Front Group

Americans for Ingredient Transparency: The Industrial Food Front Group

When the largest processed-food and soda companies in America form a coalition and name it “Americans for Ingredient Transparency,” a reasonable person should assume the name is doing work the products cannot. The work is the combining of political power with corporate profit. The product is another propaganda machine, with you and your children’s health in its crosshairs.

Americans for Ingredient Transparency, or AFIT, launched in October 2025 — about the time processed-food companies could see that the Trump administration would no longer protect the official story that had served them for decades. Its public line is simple, and it is propaganda: a “patchwork” of state food laws confuses shoppers, raises grocery prices, and hurts small business. The cure, it says, is one national standard. That is the same promise that accompanied generations of politicians, academia, and “health” officials pushing the processed-food industry’s food pyramid — the inverted advice that helped spawn a diabetes epidemic in the United States.

This is a bid to pull the fight out of statehouses and keep the machine running in Washington, where the same companies already keep full-time lobbyists and where corporatist politicians are happy to sell out their constituents to the interests that fund them.

This is corporatism in its modern form. These companies do not merely sell cereal, soda, and boxed dinners. They use the coercive power of government to lock in rules they can live with and to extinguish rules they cannot — at the expense of your family’s health.

The Tyranny of the Average: Why Society Punishes the Very Minds That Advance It

The Tyranny of the Average: Why Society Punishes the Very Minds That Advance It

There is a quiet but relentless pressure in modern society to force every person toward the statistical middle. If a child does not learn the way the plurality of children learn, if an adult prefers solitude to constant social performance, if someone thinks faster, sees patterns others miss, or questions assumptions most people never notice, the response is rarely celebration. More often it is diagnosis, remediation, ranking systems that reward conformity, and a cultural message that difference itself is a problem to be fixed.

The result is a society that treats the average as a moral ideal rather than a mathematical description. And in doing so, it systematically devalues the very people most likely to expand what is possible.

The Historical Record Is Clear

Isaac Newton was an introverted, obsessive, socially difficult man who spent long periods in near isolation. Albert Einstein was a late talker, a poor student by conventional metrics in some subjects, and a thinker who refused to accept the consensus physics of his time. Both were outliers. Both were, by the standards of their peers, deviant in how they learned, worked, and related to the world. Neither was harming anyone. Both changed the trajectory of human knowledge more than thousands of competent, well-adjusted average minds combined.

History is filled with such figures. The pattern is consistent: breakthroughs rarely come from those who fit neatly inside the existing distribution of thought and behavior. They come from people who see differently, process information differently, or refuse to accept the boundaries most people treat as fixed. When society treats those differences as defects rather than potential assets, it is not protecting the common good. It is protecting the comfort of the majority at the expense of progress.

Your Government, Academia, and the Pharmaceutical Industry; Killing You Slowly for Decades: How Corporatism Inverted America’s Diet for the Benefit of the Politically Connected

Your Government, Academia, and the Pharmaceutical Industry; Killing You Slowly for Decades: How Corporatism Inverted America’s Diet for the Benefit of the Politically Connected

For decades, the United States government told Americans to build their diets on grains and to treat fats with suspicion. The 1992 Food Pyramid placed bread, cereal, rice, and pasta at the base—six to eleven servings a day—while instructing citizens to use fats “sparingly.” Low-fat products flooded the market, many of them loaded with sugar and refined carbohydrates. Obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic disease rose in lockstep.

This was not a simple scientific error. It was the predictable result of corporatism: the fusion of government authority with private commercial interests that stood to profit from the advice being issued in the name of public health.

The Documented Proof

In the 1960s, the Sugar Research Foundation paid Harvard scientists the equivalent of roughly $50,000 in today’s dollars to produce a literature review. The resulting 1967 paper in the New England Journal of Medicine minimized evidence linking sugar to heart disease and directed attention toward saturated fat instead. The industry selected the studies, reviewed drafts, and the funding was never disclosed.

The DSA & Slavery: Justifying The Democratic Socialists of America Platform, and the Justification for Slavery

The DSA & Slavery: Justifying The Democratic Socialists of America Platform, and the Justification for Slavery

The fight against the ideology of the Democratic Socialists of America and its current “Workers Deserve More” program is waged by people with the same principles and morality as those who fought in favor of slavery in the United States. This becomes unmistakable once the arguments used to justify the DSA platform are placed side-by-side with the arguments once used to justify slavery.

Although the two platforms are positioned from different perspectives, both arguments are morally and ethically the same:

Argument 1: These elements of society are “rights”

The DSA platform repeatedly frames healthcare, housing, education, and other goods and services as human rights that must be guaranteed at no cost to the individual. Housing is explicitly called a “human right.” Universal healthcare is to be provided with no premiums, co-pays, or deductibles. College is to be free. A 32-hour workweek is demanded with no reduction in pay or benefits. Basic needs are to be guaranteed, and the largest corporations are to be placed under public ownership and therefore under political control. Read more

Forever Wars, Forgotten Names, and the Interests That Never Leave

Forever Wars, Forgotten Names, and the Interests That Never Leave

Biden’s 40-Page Memo Against the Afghanistan Surge—and the Complex That Ignored It

In the same recordings with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer, Biden recounts writing a 40-page handwritten memorandum to President Obama in 2009 arguing against additional troops in Afghanistan. His stated reason was blunt: it “wouldn’t matter.” The day the United States left would look like the day before it arrived.

That memo did not stop the surge. The war continued for another decade-plus. The contractor economy, the revolving door between Pentagon and defense firms, and the permanent national-security bureaucracy absorbed the policy and kept the machinery running. Read more

The Autopen Presidency Was Already Running in 2017

Memory Lapses, Forgotten Advisers, and the Corporate Machine That Runs the White House

Listen to the 2017 tapes. Biden loses the thread mid-sentence. He cannot recall the name of economic adviser Alan Krueger. He admits he should write names down because he keeps forgetting them. He says he is “so confused.” The pauses stretch. The “ums” multiply.

Special Counsel Robert Hur later cited these very recordings when declining to charge Biden, describing a man with a poor memory who would present as a sympathetic elderly figure to a jury. The Oversight Project release makes the timeline undeniable: the decline was already advanced while Biden was still a private citizen preparing a book. Read more

Classified Notebooks, Corporate Book Deals: How Biden Monetized the State’s Secrets

Classified Notebooks, Corporate Book Deals: How Biden Monetized the State’s Secrets

$8 Million Book Deal Built on Classified Secrets: Biden’s Ghostwriter Tapes Expose the Real Grift . . .

Joe Biden sat with an uncleared ghostwriter in 2016–2017 and read from notebooks containing Situation Room notes, CIA briefings, and DoD material. He repeatedly flagged the sensitivity: “This is classified.” “Some of this may be classified, so be careful.” “I just found all the classified stuff downstairs.” He also noted the White House did not even know he retained the material.

The finished product was a commercial memoir. The reported payoff ran into the multi-million-dollar range for Biden and his family. Read more

Biden’s Ghostwriter Tapes Confirm It: Silicon Valley Owned Obama Economic Policy

Biden’s Ghostwriter Tapes Confirm It: Silicon Valley Owned Obama Economic Policy

In the newly released 2017 recordings with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer, Joe Biden did not whisper a conspiracy theory. He stated it as fact.

Discussing why the Obama administration failed to pursue certain economic priorities Biden preferred, the then-former vice president said the team was “beholden to the Silicon Valley.” The Valley guys, he claimed, simply “didn’t want” the policies he favored. He called it a “harsh thing to say,” then said it anyway.

This is textbook corporatism: the coercive power of the executive branch appearing subordinate to, but most likely financially benefiting from, the money-making interests of a handful of technology corporations. Not through formal lobbying disclosures or campaign contributions alone, Obama is significantly more wealthy today than he was when he took office, but through the quiet capture of the people who actually set the agenda.

The Projection Playbook: Proof Positive Democrats are the White Supremacist

The Projection Playbook: Proof Positive Democrats are the White Supremacist

For the better part of a decade, a dominant strain of Democratic rhetoric has treated disagreement as moral contamination. Opponents of expansive race-based discrimination, critics of certain immigration policies, parents objecting to school racist, sexist, and victimhood curricula, classical liberals defending color-blind standards, and large numbers of ordinary Trump voters have been routinely labeled “white supremacists,” “white nationalists,” or some other adjacent terms. The accusation was not reserved for actual neo-Nazis. It became a broad political weapon, deployed by Democrat officials, activists, media figures, universities, and corporate diversity bureaucracies. The term was stretched far beyond its historical meaning until it functioned less as description and more as a tool to delegitimize dissent . . . a tactic used by every other faction history whose stated goal is to overrun and control the lives and futures of everyone else in a society.

That rhetorical pattern is a matter of public record. What deserves equal scrutiny is the set of policies the same political coalition has advanced, and the measurable results those policies produce.

Practical White Supremacy In Action Today

Democrats’ Dependency and the Political Incentive

A durable feature of modern Democrat governance is the expansion and defense of means-tested transfer programs that substitute for earned income. When a substantial share of a population’s material survival depends on government benefits, that population becomes a more reliable political constituency for the parties and politicians who protect and expand those benefits. This is not conspiracy; it is public-choice logic.  The more people who cannot easily exit the system, the more power accrues to the political class that administers it.  And Democrats know it.

The Recycling Racket: Forced Global Shipping, Fossil Fuel Burn, and the Corporatist Myth of Environmental Virtue

The Recycling Racket: Forced Global Shipping, Fossil Fuel Burn, and the Corporatist Myth of Environmental Virtue

Americans are told that placing materials in a blue bin is an act of planetary responsibility. The slogan is simple: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. In practice, the system is neither simple nor responsible. It is a government-mandated process that feeds corporate interests while requiring the very fossil-fuel consumption its advocates claim to oppose.

Most of the finished goods Americans buy are not made nearby. They are manufactured in China and other distant countries, then shipped across oceans on container vessels that burn heavy fuel oil the entire way. That reality already locks enormous quantities of fossil fuel into the supply chain of ordinary products. Recycling does not escape this system. It often multiplies it.

The Shipping Arithmetic the Advocates Ignore
