Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.
In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Fear and compliance.
That’s the point.
“Mistaken” abductions serve their purposes.
“Oops. You might be taken too.”
They’re a threat.
A tactic.

There's going to be a tendency to cover disappearances like this as "what a huge mistake/so incompetent," but this is not a mistake: The entire point is to indiscriminately catch up law abiding people in these dragnets to sow fear and compliance.

This will end with kids dying and being left damaged and disabled for life by diseases basic science has cured. RFK Jr will be gone sooner or later (ideally sooner) but nothing will bring those kids back or repair the damage done to their families.
Robert F. Kennedy’s Jr. war on vaccines just landed another major blow as the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services successfully forced one of the nation’s top vaccine officials out of his position.
“Spiraling deeper and deeper into danger”: RFK Jr. forces out top vaccine official
“It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies."

Again, it's pretty well documented that the CIA would normally consider what Ratcliffe revealed to be classified, even though I don't think it was that sensitive admittedly.
Ratcliffe: "My responsibility as CIA director, one of its responsibilities, is to kill terrorists. And that's exactly what I did ... that's what we should be focused on."

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Some breaking news in my latest. Others pointed out that Witkoff appeared to be in Moscow when he joined the Houthi PC Group chat. Sky News has a detailed story on his timeline in Moscow. I ran that against the timeline from the Atlantic article. Witkoff was waiting for Putin when he was added.(1/2)
