HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. highlights corruption in regulatory bodies, echoing Trump’s warnings about the Deep State.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is making headlines with his vehement criticism of what he characterizes as entrenched corruption within America’s regulatory frameworks, aligning with former President Trump’s assertions regarding the existence of a Deep State.
In a recent confidential meeting with FDA personnel, including new Commissioner Marty Makary, Kennedy didn’t shy away from discussing the concerns that numerous Americans have harbored for years: the Deep State is a tangible issue, not merely a conspiracy theory. A leaked transcript from Politico reveals Kennedy’s assertions about the origins of undue influence over government—a narrative that extends beyond well-known figures such as George Soros or Bill Gates, and instead, includes a network of unelected bureaucrats and corporate interests exerting control over federal policies in secrecy.
Particularly alarming to Kennedy is the FDA’s “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS) system, which he described as a troubling loophole permitting food corporations to avoid complete safety evaluations for new ingredients. Earlier in March, he called for a comprehensive review of the GRAS system, insisting that the public deserves transparency and accountability, rather than mere rubber-stamped approvals benefiting corporate giants.
Kennedy’s criticism isn't confined to the FDA alone. He asserted to NBC News that “every agency” is tainted by similar opportunistic dynamics. Throughout his 2024 presidential campaign, Kennedy has been vocal about his stance on the bureaucratic system, even cautioning FDA employees just before Election Day to “preserve your records and pack your bags” if they remain part of a “corrupt system.”
As Trump reclaims the presidency with Kennedy at the helm of HHS, the discourse around draining the swamp seems to escalate, particularly focusing on regulatory agencies that have historically prioritized corporate interests over public safety.
