“But I’ve heard the term “middlemen” for a long time. They are so wealthy. They are so wealthy. Nobody has any idea who the hell they are or what they do. They make more money than the drug companies.”
Who are the Middlemen?
Pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) is a third-party administrator of prescription drug programs. In 2016 there were fewer than 30 major PBM companies in this category in the US, and three major PBMs (Express Scripts, CVS Health, and OptumRx of UnitedHealth Group) comprise 78% of the market and cover 180 million enrollees.
Wholesale drug distributors purchase medications directly from manufacturers. The wholesale drug distributor in turn sells the medications to pharmacies. Behemoths Cardinal Health Inc., McKesson Corp. and AmerisourceBergen Corp. have a virtual lock on the wholesale drug market with at least 90% and as much as 95% of all revenue.
The top seven dispensing pharmacies—CVS Health, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Cigna, UnitedHealth Group, Walmart, Kroger, and Rite Aid—accounted for about 70% of U.S. prescription dispensing revenues in 2019.
The 10 largest health insurers collectively wrote 51.8 percent of premiums in the total U.S. market: UnitedHealth Group, Kaiser Foundation, Anthem, Humana, CVS Health, Health Care Service Corp., Centene Corp., Cigna, WellCare Health Plans (Centene) and Molina Healthcare.
The worldwide pharmaceutical market was worth about $1.3 trillion in 2019.
The 10 largest pharmaceutical companies accounted for about a third of that, worth a collective $392.5 billion in revenue. The top 10 pharmaceutical companies, ranked by revenue: Pfizer, Roche, Novartis, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, AbbVie, Sanofi, Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca
Almost all of these US corporations are dominated by just three giant American asset managers: BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street. The Big Three has entailed a massive concentration of corporate ownership. Together they have nearly US$11 trillion in assets under management. That’s more than all sovereign wealth funds combined and over three times the global hedge fund industry. The largest 14 largest firms control US$28.9 trillion assets under management.
“So I have a lot of enemies out there. This may be the last time you’ll see me for a while. A lot of very, very rich enemies, but they are not happy with what I’m doing.”
The people that control these companies are the very, very rich enemies that Trump is talking about.
I feel like maybe with a little editing this anon post could be published practically "as is".

Quick Durham news rundown:
FISA warrants were used by members of the the intelligence community, at the behest of the Obama administration, to illegally spy on Trump (and others), in order to prevent him from being elected.
The FISA courts are these obfuscated, private courts which determine who and who cannot be spied upon. They are unlike any other court in the land, in that someone can't defend themselves in it.
They're also something of a rubber stamp factory.
To get a FISA warrant, you need to have a good reason and present your case, since basically, this court is designed to violate everyone's 4th Amendment rights by design.
One of the ways Trump was targeted was by spying on people close to him. FISA warrants allow for several "hops." So if you get a warrant to spy on, idk, Tom, and Tom talks to Harry, you can now spy on Harry as well, since Harry is now deemed a person of interest. And if Harry talks to Trump, you can now spy on Trump.
IE: The Intelligence Apparatus was ordered by Obama to spy on people in close proximity to Trump, in order to hide the fact that Trump was the intended target of the spying.
Kevin Clinesmith is now pleading guilty to fabricating evidence used to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on Carter Page, which was really used to spy on Trump.
And remember the stakes here: This was all to frame Trump as working with the Russians to steal the election. That's treason. That's potentially public execution. They were willing to have Trump and others executed, if need be.
Which means… this whole spying operation is actually the real treason.
Which means… we want to know how high up this goes. (In fact, we know. It goes to basically all the heads of the Intelligence community, and into the Oval Office, all the way up to Obama and Biden).
So questions now emerge:
Who knew Clinesmith fabricated this email?
Who ordered him to fabricate the email?
Clinesmith is something of an underling. Not a huge player, and will probably be imprisoned for a loooooong time. But the people above him have got to be panicking heavily right now, because their heads are next on the chopping block.
If Clinesmith agreed to plead guilty, it's because they have these people dead-to-rights, and he's only doing so to minimize his own sentence.

all you need is vlc and its record function to make clips out of longer videos. openshot i call open-shut because it crashes. I like flowblade and kdenlive.
ffmpeg is what you need to convert it to webm.
simply going
ffmpeg -i collins.mp4 collins.webm
will make it much smaller. But i have a long command to make it smaller.

Saw this in the last bread
Probably made by someone who did not recognize his daughter Ivanka.
<This is a perfectly appropriate way for a father to hug his daughter
She is holding on to his wrist which is symbolically what a kid does when they feel strong enough to graduate from holding hands but still need the parent-s emotional support.
Trump is hugging her, not in a smothering way but in a more understanding way, letting her assert her independence but strongly communicating I've got your back which is exactly what a child wants and needs at this age. I remember that I used to whisper messages of encouragement at this age which may be what he is doing. The goal is to help the child build up their own independent emotional strength.
And we have all seen Ivanka in recent years. By their fruits shall ye know them. She is a mature woman, who is able to make things happen in the world, on her own terms. Before Trump's Presidency she was out there running her own business outside the sphere of business that her Dad and brothers are working in.
We spend a lot of time looking at fucked up people and their even more fucked up kids. Let us not forget to spend some time with positive examples of humanity, so that we have a clear vision of the future world we wish to create.

Tools of the Left
Black Lives Matter (BLM), as well as many equity, equal rights and social justice groups, are Democrat political organizations.
Q pointed this out with his link to Obama's George Floyd banner, and we know ActBlue and BLM are Democrat fundraising organizations.
"A leaked slide from a Goodyear diversity training session shows the company has decided what the “acceptable” and “unacceptable” slogans are for employees to support. The slide is part of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company’s zero-tolerance policy, which has deemed “Blue Lives Matter,” “All Lives Matter,” “MAGA Attire,” and “Politically Affiliated Slogans or Material” as “unacceptable.” Those slogans that are “acceptable” to the company included “Black Lives Matter (BLM)” and “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride (LGBT)." [1] The Goodyear exposure is important because it illustrates how WE ARE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST.
It's a simple paradigm created by the Left.
Words matter, as word usage creates a mental description, which then classifies and categorizes. The Left creates this narrative in advance to suppress the Right.
Many entities, public companies, etc. have policies prohibiting political speech. By categorizing conservative speech as "political" but categorizing liberal leftist speech as "equality" and "diversity", the Left has weaponized our language, prohibiting discrimination against leftist thought, and banning speech supporting conservative thought. Democrat political groups are NOT identified as political groups, while conservative groups and beliefs are.
Goodyear et al. have/had policies suppressing MAGA, Blue Lives Matter (support for law enforcement) and All Lives Matter. They categorize these as political. Leftist mainstream media describes and names them as such, and the silent conservative majority unfortunately go along, blind to the consequences.
However they describe BLM, LGBTQ, etc. as social justice, equal rights groups, so even though they are in fact political, they are held to a different standard than conservative topics.
To defend and gain equality of discourse, we need to level the playing field. That may entail a high court ruling based upon a discrimination suit so that:
1) Democrat-supported funded groups are deemed political, regardless of what they self-describe, or
2) MAGA, Blue, All Lives Matter are deemed equity, equal rights or social justice groups.
The Left weaponizes words, laws, and policies. The Right generally does a poor job of revealing/countering the Left's covert and seemingly unrelated schemes. Thus we let them legally discriminate against us. This is how the Left's organized minority can subvert and control culture. The silent majority had weak leadership until Donald Trump came along. We really need to develop a strong information control program to prevent the Left from dominating words. Look at how they defined these words, and we let them get away with it:
'Progressive': socialism is not progress for the majority.
'Patriot': the Left and Google (Alphabet makes words) are making this a racist description.
So to defend, we need to understand and counter the tactic of redefining (branding) words to create new definitions, which then become belief descriptors.
The Left changes words in plain view, trying to make "pedo" a non-derogatory term, while they redefine "nation" and "patriot" as racist terms. We need to wake up and control the words now.

THE AMERICAN CYBER CIVIL WAR
by Anon, August 5, 2020 on In-Q-Tel published at >>4271 (Op Ed Journal)
>>>/qresearch/10733399
https://www.c4isrnet.com/it-networks/2020/09/21/cia-launches-first-federal-lab/
WASHINGTON — The Central Intelligence Agency announced Monday the launch of its first-ever federal lab, a new internal organization that will allow its officers to obtain patents and licenses for intellectual property they create while working at the agency.
The new office, called CIA Labs, will be an in-house research and development office through which the spy agency will develop the future technology it needs for intelligence collection for national security, while also helping U.S. economic security, according to Dawn Meyerriecks, head of CIA’s Directorate of Science and Technology, in an agency press release.
In a speech last week at the Intelligence and National Security Summit, Meyerriecks listed several broad areas where the agency has intellectual property that could “change the conversation” around key emerging technologies. She listed 5G, battery technology, augmented and virtual reality, artificial intelligence and machine learning, computation, geospatial information representation, navigation, and analytics as areas of focus.
“It’s an endless list that we collectively own, but the world desperately needs,” Meyerriecks said. “And if your attitude is ‘I will get this to production and then I will wait for the next procurement opportunity,’ then we are collectively part of the problem, not part of the solution.”
She added that the agency already has two provisional patents, but didn’t go into detail.
>>>/qresearch/10733481
So in light of the paragraphs about IN-Q-TEL, does this say the federal government no longer wants to partner with private industry to create/obtain innovative technologies?
Is it due to a lack of trust of private industry?
Or some other reason?
It would be really interesting to get some insight into the WHY for this change of direction.
If the CIA itself owns patents, it can
(1) withhold patent licensing altogether (I think) - although there is a different path for protecting innovations that have national security implications, the patent applications never result in granted patents or the patents are under a gag order and are never seen by the public
(2) license patents on uniform terms and conditions
I do not think it is permissible under current law to license patents to one licensee but refuse to license to other licensees on equivalent terms & conditions.
But maybe if the government is the patent holder the requirements are different from those that apply to private industry.
There might be different laws or EOs that apply.
IDK.

In Texas there is a town called New Braunfels, where there is a large German-speaking population.
One day, a local rancher driving down a country road noticed a man using his hand to drink water from the rancher's stock pond.
The rancher rolled down the window and shouted, "Sehr angenehm! Trink das wasser nicht. Die kuehe haben darein geschisssen."
This in German is: "Glad to meet you! Don't drink the water, The cows have pooped in it."
The stranger shouted back, "I'm from New York and just down here campaigning for Biden's Presidential run. I do not understand German or what you are saying. Please speak in English."
The rancher replies, "Use both hands!"

In the United States of America- the media makes things up about the president, using unverifiable anonymous sources, while selectively NOT reporting on real and significant events that would have substantial influence on voters. It treats one of the political parties with kid gloves and does everything in its power to sink the other. It releases polling data that doesn't at all reflect reality. And, it's not just the old Legacy Media that does it- Twitter has taken to fact-checking President Trump's tweets with a little disclaimer at the bottom to try to subvert his message. Even when there is photographic proof that mail-in voter fraud is occurring, they still claim that our voting system is completely safe and secure. This lack of integrity in our information sources damages our nation's democratic system. Censorship and information suppression is a limitation on our 1st amendment rights and a very dangerous situation for us in these uncertain times. So, don't put too much stock in the Fake News and when you're watching the debates tomorrow- listen to the words and the message of each candidate instead of the spin from the political pundits. Make up your own mind about which one of them would be a better leader for America. A well-informed population- a society of free thinkers- is the most powerful and dangerous group in the world.

>POTUS mentioned that if America is “fucked” with, the response will be disproportionate. I am intimately knowledgeable as to the weaponry he is referencing.
>I won’t disclose what ELSE we have, but I will inform anons and normies here of a weapon type most anons here know of—Orbital Weapon Lancets (OWLS).
>An OWL example would be a RFTG, a Rod From The Gods. A solid tungsten rod, pre-spun in orbit to maximize (potential) kinetic energy, which is dropped on a target. Amount of spin is directly equal to requested force. These rods are known to be anywhere from a telephone pole in size to a pole that is roughly as big around as an oil drum and 25-30ft long. At full power, the largest rod has the potential capability to effectively DELETE a 10 mile radius (20 mile diameter) section of land, leaving a relatively small crater. However, the weapon will deform the land as the projectile will enter the earth and break up sections of crust.
>Minor deployments have already been used—and at very small kinetic build up, it was successful in leveling an entire mountain.
>THIS is the kind of thing POTUS was referencing. Also, DEWs are equally devastating. We have a microwave emitting device (MED) in orbit that can ignite entire towns. It has already been used to instantly dry up enemy water sources. It is also capable of working in small amounts; bursts that won’t be noticed but can begin to dehydrate personnel on the ground or dry them out completely without burning.
>Trust POTUS when he says that we have weapons that he hopes he never has to use. These are weapons that should only be wielded by gods and gods alone—yet we have them at our fingertips.

Every believer of Karl Marx's 'exploitation theory' must answer this question:
How can you know that profits are 'exploitative' of wages, when profits precede wages both logically and historically?
"Profit" is the excess of receipts from the sale of products over the money costs of producing them—over, it must be repeated, the money costs of producing them.
A "capitalist" is one who buys in order subsequently to sell for a profit.
"Wages" are money paid in exchange for the performance of labor—not for the products of labor, but for the performance of labor itself.
On the basis of these definitions it follows that, if there are merely workers producing and selling their products, the money which they receive in the sale of their products is not wages. "Demand for commodities," to quote John Stuart Mill, "is not demand for labour." In buying commodities, one does not pay wages, and in selling commodities, one does not receive wages.
In the pre-capitalist economy, if such an economy ever in fact existed, all income recipients in the process of production are workers. But the incomes of those workers are not wages. They are, in fact, profits. Indeed, all income earned in producing products for sale in the pre-capitalist economy is profit or "surplus value"; no income earned in producing products for sale in such an economy is wages. For what the workers of a pre-capitalist economy receive are receipts from the sale of products. But they have no money costs of production to deduct from those sales receipts, for they have not acted as capitalists: They have not bought anything for the purpose of making possible their sales receipts, and therefore they have no money costs. The difference between receipts from the sale of products and zero money costs of production is the full magnitude of the sales receipts.
Wages are not the primary form of income in production. Profits are.
Accordingly, the profits which exist in a capitalist society are not a deduction from what was originally wages. On the contrary, the wages and the other money costs are a deduction from sales receipts—from what was originally all profit. The effect of capitalism is to create wages and to reduce profits relative to sales receipts.
Thus, capitalists do not impoverish wage earners, but make it possible for people to be wage earners. For they are responsible not for the phenomenon of profits, but for the phenomenon of wages.
And if wage earners want a larger relative share for wages and a smaller relative share for profits, they should want a higher economic degree of capitalism—they should want more and bigger capitalists.
The correct theory, as well as the actual history, is the exact opposite of the doctrine of the primacy of wages.
All believers of Karl Marx's 'exploitation theory' must answer this question.

THINK LIKE TRUMP
Ima go out on a limb and say most Anons have probably not read Trump's books. If you did, you would realize what we are witnessing right now.
In almost every 'deal', Trump creates a last-minute uncertainty. He lets the opposition think one way, right up to an hour before the meeting. The entire deal will be in jeopardy, and he is prepared to walk away. Except of course, the other side is more desperate and capitulates in Trump's favor.
Now imagine you are Trump right now, with Q team and the Plan all around you. You know you will win. The play he is making, is to allow his opposition to think he is about to lose, or it is too close to call. China, the Europeans, the deep state actors, his dis-loyal generals and leakers, Big Tech, Big Pharma. We know their only hope is for him to lose, and he is letting them start to believe it.
Why would he do that. To make them in an even worse position when they lose. It is quite simple. There are a few who wise up, like Glen Greenwald, who will reap their rewards later. But everyone else is Royally Fucked, and just cannot see it yet. They will be exposed as treasonous traitors when Trump wins by a Yuge landslide.
You Larpers go ahead and fag-complain how Q is never right and muh-doom. We can handle it for another few days, and then you'll see what I'm mansplaining. Trump has turned the pot from 'simmer' to 'boil'. He will get mega-MAGA concessions and plea deals, treaty wins and trade deals, from all these little rat assholes that want to stay out of GITMO.
That is WINNING Anons. That is 40,000 feet. I can't wait to see what this next 4 years will be like.
