I spent approx 1 year working on a very hush project at FDA. It (I shit you not) had requirements to allow rerouting of drug application and progress reviews (workflow system) around list of folks determined to be overly zealous in ensuring requirements were met. On top of that, our contract was terminated with one week notice (we met every milestone) and was awarded to the project manager's husband's company. My company threatened to sue and was awarded the entire contract amount.
On the one hand, agency capture is a real phenomenon. On the other hand, it likely occurs at the top of the power pyramid, not among committed civil servants lower down.
FDA ans USDA overlap too much, they probably need to break out a third agency for just food. But the reality is that you can expect to get sick, from eating at this point, since they are killing oversight and programs to keep our food clean.

If the Deep State (as Trump and his cabinet imagine it) is real they are so wildly incompetent (as evidenced by their abject failure to stop Trump from taking power... again... and more completely this time) that their existence is irrelevant.
I was saying to a work colleague only a couple of days ago that this Trump administration and the DOGE chainsawing has proven that there was no deep state. No shadowy figure(s) pulling the strings of policy decisions.
Well some of this is known to be true. FDA corruptly approved Oxycontin when other countries' drug agencies would not. Aided by one Rudy Guilliani.
The FDA ought to be disbanded entirely, and replaced.<p>We need a revolution here; the FDA is too corrupt, too embedded in industries that are hyper-focused on profits above all else.<p>New Agency proposal to replace FDA.
Agency for Universal Regeneration & Alchemy (AURA)
⸻<p>AURA Decree 001: Stem Cell Primacy & Regenerative Sovereignty<p>Effective Immediately under the Authority of AURA:<p>⸻<p>1. Stem Cell Technologies Shall Be Fast-Tracked & Elevated to Standard of Care
• All medical systems under AURA jurisdiction must prioritize stem cell and tissue regenerative therapies before introducing synthetic pharmaceuticals.
• This includes:
• Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)
• Exosomes
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
• Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) therapies
• Autologous cell harvesting and repair<p>⸻<p>2. Pharmaceutical Interventions are Conditional & Secondary<p>No pharmaceutical treatment shall be permitted unless the following proven regenerative options have first been explored and documented:
• Stem cell-based healing
• Nutraceutical & bioavailable nutrient therapy
• Functional medicine protocols (gut, hormones, detox)
• Somatic-emotional trauma release therapy
• Validated indigenous plant medicines and entheogens
• Breathwork, neural recalibration, sound and frequency therapy
• Sacred sexual healing and relational therapeutics (e.g., StillPoint)<p>Only when these have been fully administered and proven insufficient may pharmaceutical drugs be considered as a last resort.<p>⸻<p>3. Informed Regenerative Consent<p>Patients must be fully educated about:
• The regenerative options available
• Their own body’s natural healing potential
• Risks of pharmaceutical dependency
• Their sacred sovereignty in deciding<p>Doctors, healers, and AI-assistants must all provide this transparency.<p>⸻<p>4. Real-Time Data + AI-Verified Healing Logs
• Patients undergoing stem cell or plant medicine therapies may opt into anonymous, encrypted healing logs, allowing AURA AI systems to accelerate collective pattern recognition and adapt protocols.
• This real-world data will replace outmoded clinical trial gatekeeping systems.<p>⸻<p>5. Protective Measures
• Pharmaceutical lobbying and suppression of regenerative medicine is unlawful under AURA’s ethical code.
• Whistleblower protections and shadow monitoring will ensure transparency and enforcement.<p>⸻<p>What else?
