Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s visit to the FDA Friday was supposed to introduce him as a trusted leader to agency employees. It did anything but.
In a 40-minute address to staffers at the FDA headquarters in Maryland, Brain Worm Boi went off the rails asserting that the “Deep State” is real, referenced past CIA experiments on human mind control and accused the employees he was speaking to of becoming a “sock puppet” of the industries they regulate.
“President Trump always talks about the Deep State, and the media, you know, disparages him and says that he’s paranoid,” Kennedy said, according to a transcript and audio of his remarks obtained by POLITICO. “But the Deep State is real. And it’s not, you know, just George Soros and Bill Gates and a bunch of nefarious individuals sitting together in a room and plotting the, you know, the destruction of humanity.”
Kennedy encouraged those in attendance to take advantage of a four-year hiatus under his leadership when the Department of Health and Human Services would not be subjected to undue influence and would listen to “dissidents.”
Kennedy said that “every institution that’s created by human beings” is taken over by powerful interests that would be pulling FDA agents from the mission of “making our kids healthy again.”
Kennedy also referenced the CIA’s Project MKUltra — a notorious human experimentation program from the 1960s — and the Milgram experiment, a well-known study meant to test people’s willingness to obey authority even if it meant inflicting pain on others.
By the end of the speech, several FDA staffers had walked out of the rooms where the speech was being broadcast, according to two anonymous staffers who were afraid of retaliation.
