Time Text
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery, we need humanity.
We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
We know things are bad, worse than bad.
They're crazy.
Silence! The great and powerful Oz knows why you have come.
You've got to say, I'm a human being!
God damn it!
My life has value!
You have meddled with the primal forces of nature!
Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, or what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder!
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men with machine minds and machine hearts.
Yeah, thank you.
You're beautiful.
I love you.
Yes. You're beautiful.
Thank you.
Ha-ha. It's showtime.
It's time to buckle up for Making Sense of the Madness.
And who loves you?
And who do you love?
*Mix of the Time*
Hey everybody, Jason Bermas here and RFK Jr. has just given a speech today regarding autism and the fact that there will be white paper or a presentation available within the next several weeks on the toxins that they are going to Now,
before we get into the video, and we're going to watch the entire speech, although he introduces another person and comes back up and takes questions, and quite frankly, that's one of the things that I like about this administration,
whether it be Trump, RFK, Tulsi Gabbard.
They will engage with the media.
And I think that's extremely important.
And the next big thing about all of these people, whether you love them, hate them, you're somewhere in the middle like I am, because there have been some really disappointing things come out regarding RFK Jr. and Maha,
etc. However, the reformulation of the food...
It's very real as they're about to get rid of a ton of these different ingredients.
The fact that this is happening is very real and it is extremely encouraging to me.
Now, I want to be very careful about how I frame anything in this video for obvious reasons as we are streaming on some of the mainstream When I was a small child,
and I'm talking small, we're talking under 10 years old, really probably more in that 5 to 8 range, somewhere in there, younger, maybe a little older sometimes.
I'm a big Italian family.
A very large, large Italian family.
We would all get together and we had one, one relative who was an adult, an adult sized, but acted like a child.
And in the very beginning, you would talk about it and everybody would say, well, she got very sick.
When she was young, she got scarlet fever.
And this is how she developed autism.
And full spectrum, whole deal.
Not quite palsy, obviously, because they're different things.
But pretty devastating.
But that was it.
For a very long time.
For my exposure to really...
All these different things, right?
There wasn't literally autistic people everywhere.
Of course, the spectrum wasn't there.
And RFK Jr. is going to talk about the fact that new types of diagnostics can only account for so much.
Obviously, if you have followed my work, you know, bibbidi-bobbidi-boobbidi, Huge, huge part in the autism outbreak.
And when I say huge, it has affected my direct family, who, quite frankly, first of all, was in super denial about the autism itself,
which is frightening.
You see how people can't deal with reality.
And they certainly could not deal with the reality that they may have taken part in the harm of their child, right?
I hope people get that.
I have friends that I grew up with in high school and middle school, and I mean like grew up with, where in their families, He's going to tell you, the number is like 1 in 31 right now.
1 in 31. Where out of the six kids combined between two sisters, two of them are severely autistic.
And their mother's a nurse.
And they're very much down the line on listening to the establishment.
I've got somebody else who I went to college with.
A fraternity brother.
Of course, he's thought I was insane forever.
He's already extremely, I mean, he's on social media berating RFK Jr. for alluding to you-know-what.
Now, this person, unfortunately, like, he can get through school.
He's book smart.
He can repeat things.
But the scary thing is he thinks he's really intelligent.
And because of this, I mean...
The health problems that his son has are things he'll never come to grips with.
No matter what is published in the next several weeks, no matter how much scientific evidence out there, these will be the deniers.
And it's sad.
It's very sad.
And I'm not even saying that the bibbidi-bobbidi-boobbidi is the only thing that is accounting for this.
I think he's very smart to frame it in the manner it's already being framed because I think there are a lot of things out there.
For instance, they're going to take a look at ultrasounds.
Before we get into the video, what I need you to do is thumbs it up, subscribe, share.
I want to let you know, again, there are no more paid gigs.
I need your help now more than ever.
$5, $10, $15, big donors.
You absolutely mean the world to me.
This is part...
Of that Q&A, we may get to this part of the video.
But what I want to do right now is play RFK Jr. talking about autism and what they're going to be doing right now in these new studies.
I'm going to go over some of the key numbers from the ADDM report.
Overall, the...
Autism is increasing in prevalence at an alarming rate.
The study tests eight-year-olds who were born in 2014.
And by the way, these studies are two years later than they should be.
And one of the things that we're going to do as we move this function to the Administration for a Healthy America, to the new chronic disease division, We are going to have updated, real-time data so that people can look at this,
so Americans can understand what is happening with chronic disease in this country in real time, and not have to wait two years to react.
We don't wait two years to react to a measles epidemic, or any kind of infectious disease.
We shouldn't have to do that for diabetes or autism.
The ASD prevalence rate in 8-year-olds is now 1 in 31. Shocking.
There's an extreme risk for boys.
Overall, the risk for boys of getting an autism diagnosis in this country is now 1 in 20. And as high in California, which has the best data collection, so it probably also reflects the national trend,
1 in 12.5 boys.
This is part of an unrelenting upward trend.
The prevalence two years ago was 1 in 36. Since the first ADTM report in 1990, which was 1992 births, autism has increased by a factor of 4.8.
That's 480%, I believe.
The first ADDM survey was 22 years ago, when prevalence was 1 in 150 children.
In all the core states, the trend is consistently upward, and most cases now are severe.
So about 25% of the kids who are diagnosed with autism are nonverbal, non-toilet trained, and have other stereotypical features, head-banging, Tactile and light sensitivities,
stimming, toe walking, etc.
Let me just stop it right there.
That's where my immediate family is at right now.
And, you know, my brother, you know, in his younger adult life, had worked with, you know, adults.
But when I say adults, you know, talking teenagers up into, you know, their 20s and forever.
And that was a growing industry, actually, when, you know, 20, 25 years ago.
So he had seen all the signs.
Now, those signs were undeniable at like three years old.
My family couldn't come to grips until almost four.
And at two...
When the child still was not talking, you know, it was pretty obvious to me that there was something immediately wrong.
And I want you to think about that.
You've now got a toddler that is nonverbal and also, you know, not potty trained.
That's, I mean, I can't imagine that in my day-to-day, but you just heard what he said.
One in 20 on the spectrum that are boys?
It's extremely frightening.
And he's so correct when he said, people want to expect me to wait two years.
We don't wait two years for something that has just incrementally been increasing at an alarming rate.
Did a video earlier today where Katy Perry was so concerned about the children.
I mean, how concerned about the children are people really if this isn't like a numero uno issue?
Let's get back to RFK Jr.
One of the things that I think that we need to move away from today is this ideology that This, that the autism diagnosis, that the autism prevalence increases,
the relentless increases, are simply artifacts of better diagnoses, better recognition, or changing diagnostic criteria.
If you look at Table 3 of the ADDM report, it's clear that the rates are real.
That they are increasing in the last 10 years, which is beginning with the first one.
Year by year, there is a steady, relentless increase.
I want it because this epidemic denial has become a feature in the mainstream media.
And it's based on an industry canard, and obviously there are people who don't want us to look at environmental exposures.
And so I want to just read you some of the little excerpts from some of the older studies.
The baseline for autism in this country was established with the biggest, largest epidemiological study in history.
A study of all 900,000 children in the state of Wisconsin, children under the age of 12, they found 0.7 children had autism in every 10,000.
That's less than 1 in 10,000.
Today we're at 1 in 31. That study also confirmed the four-to-one male-to-female ratio.
There were at that time just over 60 children in Wisconsin with autism, and today it's around 20,000.
In 1987,
There was another exhaustive study, a peer-reviewed study in North Dakota, set out to count every child in the state with a pervasive developmental disorder, including autism.
That study meticulously combed through every record, every diagnosis, and he even conducted in-person assessments of the entire population of 180,000 children under 18. The autism rate they found was 3.3.
Per 10,000.
So that's in line with the 1 in 10,000 that was found in Wisconsin 17 years earlier.
For context, today, the last number of 1 in 36 is 83 times higher.
In 1987, out of every 1 million kids, 330 were diagnosed with autism.
Today, there are 27,777 for every million.
If you accept the epidemic denier's narrative, you have to believe that researchers in North Dakota missed 98.8% of the children with autism, that thousands of profoundly disabled children were somehow invisible to doctors,
teachers, parents, and even their own study.
The same researchers who followed the original cohort for 12 years, double-checked their number.
They went back in 2000 and found that they had missed exactly one child.
So doctors and therapists in the past were not stupid.
They weren't missing all these cases.
The epidemic is real.
Between 1959 and 1965, researchers from 14 hospitals associated with major universities undertook the National Collaborative Paranatal Project tracking 30,000 children from birth to age 8. This was no half-baked survey-based analysis.
The study conducted nine separate screenings covering neurology, psychology, speech, language, hearing, And visual function.
Every developmental quirk, anomaly, and disorder was logged with painstaking detail.
Autism, a condition characterized by profound impairments in social communication and behavior, would have stood out like a neon sign.
There were 14 cases.
That's 4.7 per 10,000.
So we know what the historic numbers are.
And we know what the numbers are today.
And it's time for everybody to stop attributing this to this ideology of epidemic denial.
In 2009, the California state legislature charged the MIND Institute at UC Davis with Because this myth was already becoming pervasive,
the myth of epidemic denial was already becoming pervasive in the mainstream media, the California legislature directed the MIND Institute at UC Davis to answer the question.
And Irva Hertz-Picciotto is a highly esteemed, revered scientist, neurology, and epidemiologist.
Came back with a definitive answer.
The epidemic is real.
Only a very, very small portion of it can be charged a better recognition or better diagnostic criteria.
I want to say a couple of other things.
There are many, many other studies that affirm this.
And instead of listening to this canard of epidemic denial...
All you have to do is start reading a little science, because the answer is very clear.
And this is catastrophic for our country.
There's a recent study by Blaxel et al.
and a team of other researchers that said that the cost of treating autism in this country by 2035, so within 10 years, will be a trillion dollars a year.
This is added to already astronomical healthcare costs.
And then there is an individual.
These are kids that, this is a preventable disease.
We know it's an environmental exposure.
It has to be.
Genes do not cause epidemics.
They can provide a vulnerability.
You need an environmental toxin.
And Erva Hertz-Pachoda pointed out that because of this mythology, 10 to 20, that the amount of money and resources put into studying genetic causes,
which is a dead end, has been historically 10 to 20 times the amount spent by NIH and other agencies.
And let me just stop it right there just for a moment.
Think about that, folks.
They've directed all of this money into this pit of research they know is going nowhere because it's a fraction of what the profits are and what the agenda is.
And the agenda is not for us to live long, happy lives, to be intelligent and embrace critical thinking.
And have abundance and share that abundance with others.
No, it is to restrict our consciousness, change and alter our values, and unfortunately devastate and decimate humanity in favor of a transhumanist,
post-human, non-human ideology, in my opinion.
So let's continue with RFK.
To study environmental factors, to study exposures, to study external factors, and that's where we're going to find the answer.
This is an individual tragedy as well.
Autism destroys families.
More importantly, it destroys our greatest resource, which are children.
These are children who should not be suffering like this.
These are kids who, many of them, were fully functional and regressed because of some environmental exposure into autism when they're two years old.
And these are kids who will never pay taxes.
They'll never hold a job.
They'll never play baseball.
They'll never write a poem.
They'll never go out on a date.
Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted.
And we have to recognize we are doing this to our children.
And we need to put an end to it.
And I think I'm going to have Walter Zaha Rodney.
So again, RFK Jr. does come back.
And I'm pretty tempted.
In fact, I think we're going to.
I think we're going to play him when he does come back.
Because it is...
I want the question and answers, too, because he does such a good job.
And that's not to knock these other speakers, right?
I think that there is some importance there.
But this is just a subject that is too important, okay?
So, thumbs it up, subscribe, share.
We're bringing them up right now.
We're about to bring them up there.
Again, I do want to remind everybody we don't even have 50 thumbs up.
Let's get over 100 thumbs up on this one.
Need your support.
$5, $10, $15.
Big donors.
Please also check out the documentary films for free and share the information, number one.
So here's RFK Jr. now answering questions after the fact.
I referred to a number of studies.
There are many, many, many others in the scientific literature that absolutely explode.
This mythology that the autism epidemic is not real.
If you read the literature, it is absolutely indefensible to continue to promote this.
But it doesn't take you to read the literature.
It just takes a little common sense.
If the epidemic is an artifact...
A better diagnostic criteria or better recognition, then why are we not seeing it in older people?
Why is this only happening in young people?
You know, I asked Walter before we came out here, I said, have you ever seen anybody our age?
I'm 71 years old with full-blown autism, head-banging, non-verbal, non-toilet trained, stimming, toe-walking.
These other stereotypical features.
Where are these people walking around the mall?
You can't find them.
They're not in homes.
There are no homes for them.
There are no institutions for them.
Why are we seeing them on the street?
Anybody can look around and see that this is a canard.
And then you have to ask yourself, why is it so pervasive?
Why has it been thrown up against us for so many years?
And clearly there are industries.
This is coming from an environmental toxin.
And somebody made a profit by putting that environmental toxin into our air, our water, our medicines, our food.
And it's to their benefit to normalize it.
To say, oh, this is all normal.
It's always been here.
But that's not good for our country.
And it's not good for the press to not be more inquisitive.
To not be more skeptical.
And within three weeks, and probably we're hoping in two weeks, we're going to announce a series of new studies to identify precisely what the environmental toxins are that are causing it.
This has not been done before, and we're going to do it in a thorough and comprehensive way, and we're going to get back with an answer to the American people very, very quickly.
Thank you.
Hard for me to hear this too,
guys. I was trying to pick up what I could, but we'll see what the response is to this.
Do you think that, are you denying that in the past, black, Latino, AAPI people had not been diagnosed, they had been diagnosed?
So now he's bringing up the identity politics card here.
It's very bizarre.
Well, yeah, and there are small slivers of the autism epidemic, maybe 10 percent to 25 percent according to the studies.
The highest studies are around 25 percent.
That can be attributed to better recognition and better diagnosis.
That means 85% or 75% to 80% are still part of an epidemic.
And that's too many.
And that is what we need to redress.
Walter, do you have something you'd like to add?
There's better recognition of autism and better awareness because there are more children with autism and the professionals have greater I think we're going to end it
there, guys.
You know, I was going to go through the whole thing.
Yeah, we will play this clip right here.
Of RFK Jr. talking about ultrasounds.
Here you go.
Congress said to EPA, ordered EPA to tell us what year the autism epidemic came back and said it happened in 1989.
You know, you have to find a toxin that became ubiquitous around that time period.
And that affected every demographic from Cubans in Key Biscayne to Inuit in Alaska.
And that affects boys in a four-to-one ratio as girls.
There's a limited universe of those, but actually it's quite large.
And, you know, Erberhert Spicciotto was the one who suggested that one of the things we have to look at is ultrasound.
I don't think that that's probably a factor, but it's one of the exposures that became ubiquitous during that period.
And we're going to look at all of them agnostically.
That is going to do it for the broadcast.
You know the drill.
It is not about left or right.
Always about right and wrong.
I think this is going in the right direction.
I hope you do check out the links down below.
Support the broadcast.
Watch the documentary films.
Of course, follow me on the alternative platforms.
You know, if you follow me on X, there's a lot of stuff that we don't actually cover here that does at least get a little bit of a nudge there.
So please check that out.
I absolutely love you guys.
