SHOCKER: Dr. Oz just EXPOSED the jaw-dropping fraud bleeding America’s healthcare system dry—and says a war room is now hunting down the abusers.
The examples he laid out? Absolutely mind-blowing.
Every single one is a bombshell:
“Almost a quarter million people, American citizens were fraudulently enrolled, without their knowledge, in exchange programs by brokers.”
“Tens of millions of dollars… are being spent on illegal immigrants receive Medicaid in California and pushing the bill to us.”
“We are spending about a billion dollars on Medicaid programs for dual state eligible patients… we’re paying all three states for services you’re not getting because you don’t live in three states all at once.”
And it gets even more outrageous.
Medicaid dollars are being funneled into non-medical perks:
“Public labor unions are getting childcare through some of this money—Housekeeping! I wish I could get that for my home.”
“There’s a big problem with student loan repayments taking place with Medicaid dollars. That’s not where it should be used.”
“And we are paying for DEI programs.”
Dr. Oz says enough is enough.
“We have created a war room at CMS to go after, to catch the fraud in real time before the money leaves the federal coffers.”
This isn’t a reform. It’s a reckoning.

WHAT YOU'RE NOT HEARING: The Chinese cannot replace the U.S. market. Without it, the Chinese economy collapses.
Here's why… China's entire economic miracle was built on ONE thing - being America's cheap manufacturing hub.
The "Chinese miracle" playbook was simple:
• Open markets to the West
• Offer dirt-cheap labor
• Ignore safety standards
• Let Western companies rake in profits
This worked for decades. But China forgot something crucial: others can do this too.
MASSIVE MISCALCULATION: Beijing thought the American leaders they made rich would protect them forever. They believed these corporate puppet masters would never let the US stand up to China.
WRONG. Along came Donald Trump, who owes them nothing.
The numbers don't lie
• US exports to China: $143.5B
• Chinese imports to US: $438.9B
They flood our markets while closing or restricting THEIR markets.
But Trump said: NO MORE
Meanwhile, countries like India, Vietnam, and Bangladesh are CELEBRATING. They're ready to take China's place, AND open their markets to the U.S. - and Trump's willing to deal.
HERE'S what the Enemedia WON'T tell you:
Chinese exporters are PANICKING
• Abandoning shipments mid-voyage
• Factory orders FROZEN
• Container volume DOWN 90%
And this is just the beginning. China can't replace the U.S. market that made it rich.
Reports flooding in:
• Factories shutting down
• Amazon canceling orders
• Stores closing
• Warehouses overflowing
The house of cards is falling. But the Enemedia gives you nothing but Chinese propaganda.
CRUCIAL FACT: America buys 3X more than Japan (China's next biggest customer).
Without us, they're FINISHED. And they were already on the ropes.
Will this affect US consumers? Sure, briefly. You might struggle to find cheap plastic junk for a few months.
But other countries will step up. And TRILLIONS in new investment are flowing into America, while countless factories LEAVE China.
Will this affect US consumers? Sure, briefly. You might struggle to find cheap plastic junk for a few months.
The bottom line: China picked a fight they can't win. While America adjusts, the CCP will face the consequences of their refusal to truly open their own markets, or to abandon aggression against their neighbors.
Game over. The decoupling is under way.

The evidence keeps coming out. American taxpayers paid for the impeachment of Donald Trump with laundered USAID money
Jesse Watters “You have this new piece on Substack that the USAID and the CIA helped orchestrate Trump's impeachment?”
Michael Shellenberger “It's a crazy story — The House of Representatives impeached, president Trump in December of 2019. Many people may may not remember that it was a CIA analyst who was left over from the Obama White House who wrote the memo that led to the impeachment. It was all based on hearsay.
The person had not actually been in the room with Trump. Nonetheless, this memo that he wrote relied heavily on a report done by an organization funded by USAID. In fact, its initial founding funding I mean, now it's $10s of millions of dollars had gone into this group called the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, a name that's not very memorable, OCCRP, but it was basically created as an extension of the state department and then of USAID
— It was a kind of public facing part you know, regime change operation like CIA, but not covert, more overt — They were doing this sort of thing abroad, creating a predicate essentially for Trump's impeachment.”

Trumps New IT Department Head Is Taking Control.
++++++++++++++++
Katie Arrington, the Defense Department’s acting chief information officer, has little sympathy for contractors complaining about the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification.
After all, she was the lead ambassador for the launch of the defense industrial base's new cyber and supply chain security standard during the first Trump administration.
The Biden Administration made changes in the approach for CMMC, but the requirement is essentially the same – contractors need to certify how they are following a set of standards for securing government information on their systems.
That mostly refers to 800-171 from the National Institute of Standards and Technology on controlled unclassified information.
Arrington is now back at DOD following Trump’s election in November and CMMC is her responsibility again.
“If you go on LinkedIn one more time and tell me how hard CMMC is, I’m going to beat you,” she said Wednesday at an AFCEA DC luncheon. “That ship sailed in 2014.”
Contractors have been required for more than a decade to comply with NIST Standard 800-171, which has 110 controls for protecting CUI. Contractors have been self-certifying their compliance during that time.
But with CMMC now final, companies must now go through a third-party audit.
“You are telling me over 11 years later how hard it is?” she said.
Complaining now only puts a target on the backs of companies for the Defense Contract Management Agency to come in and audit their cyber posture, Arrington said.
“Do you think the government isn’t watching?” she said. “Do you think China’s is backing off?”
CMMC and zero trust architectures are part of a culture shift at DOD toward a trust but verify posture, Arrington said.
“It’s not a framework. It never was," she added.
Every system DOD fields must start with security and that starts with the acquisition process, she said.
On acquiring software, Arrington said she is developing a software fast-track process to be called SWIFT. The intent is to speed up the authority-to-operate process.
A request for information will be released to look for third-party vendors that can help in risk assessment, she said.
Software will be assessed on 12 characteristics of risk such as financial, foreign ownership and cyber. Arrington also wants artificial intelligence to help review the findings instead of waiting for a human to do it.
“I’m blowing up the risk management assessment framework. I’m blowing up the ATOs,” she said. “I only have five things I really care about: How do you develop what you’re doing that’s secure by design? How do I validate that? Are you working with Zero Trust? How do I validate that? What’s more important – an ATO or continuous monitoring? Continuous monitoring. How do I do that?”
She is planning a meeting for May that will have all of DOD’s component CIOs to work on a plan going forward.
“We have to get away from the way we’ve done business to the way we need to do business,” Arrington said.

I deal with this daily and am in the middle between our government and our small businesses. It’s not really the dod contractors that can’t comply. It’s all the small businesses that those contractors buy from that have to comply. It’s not a cheap thing to get certified and many small businesses can’t afford it. Focus should be on how to protect critical information but to make it easier for our small businesses to do so as well as being affordable for them to get fully certified to the NIST standards.
