Thank you for posting. I’ve been looking for this quote for a while. There was a thread on the RPF – but all I could recall was “who is doing what to you.” My search was futile when I last looked a few weeks ago. I have now located the 2016 interview. We owe a lot of gratitude to Danny Roddy for teasing out such gems from Dr. Peat.

You are right, his work is not just about understanding the biological aspect of the organism but also understanding the wider political environment. I believe medical tyranny is not just about pharmaceutical greed but part of a wider political system of control and depopulation. During the plandemic lockdown I listened to a lot of Dr Peat’s interviews. I read the Kessinger report of 1974 at that time too and concluded that you cannot ascribe to incompetence what is clearly malice. This was a eugenics policy designed to keep developing countries from prospering so that they can be exploited and depopulated. The mass movement of people away from those countries is no surprise. If a country cannot develop and look after its people then the people will seek employment elsewhere. I digress. Since learning how the powers that be play all sides to service the interests of corporations, and the families that own them, I no longer believe in the left vs. right paradigm (not that anyone can give a satisfactory definition of either positions).

Here is the full transcript of that section of the interview.

Danny Roddy: Obviously you focus a lot on food. Do you think that's a way in to shift the consciousness of the people towards lower serotonin if that relates to somebody's authoritarianism?

Ray Peat: Yeah, first a person who is chronically sick and malnourished just doesn't have much energy or stamina to study and be critical. So first you just have to stop poisoning yourself by eating what the government and dieticians are selling as a healthful diet. And once you have the strength to read and think, then you realize who is doing what to you. And you start investigating the food industry, the agricultural production industry, the science industry that supports the agricultural imposition, and the political system that justifies the medical and agricultural economic imposition. All of these are very clearly wound together in a system to maintain class dominance. It's very healthful to eat lobster once in a while, but you don't see dieticians or the government recommending that. It started in the 1930s depression with the government having a three-tiered diet. One to prevent starvation in the very poor, one an economical diet to get along on very little, and then at the top a healthy diet. And if you look at the bare survival and economic minimal diet of the Great Depression, the dieticians in the 1960s and 70s adopted those survival diets as the healthy diet. Lots of beans and grains as the basic diet.

Danny Roddy: Do you think that was on purpose in a form of control?

Ray Peat: Yeah, part of it was that the government had been buying milk, dehydrating it, making cheese and butter to keep American farmers working to support the prices. So they were warehousing huge amounts of powdered milk, cheese, and butter, and giving them away first as foreign aid, and then the precursor to food stamps was to have, I think, every month, a giveaway to poor people of cheese, eggs, powdered milk, and so on. And in the 70s, there was a big movement to stop helping the poor people in other countries, as well as the poor at home. And one of the arguments that came up in the pseudoscientific dietetic community was that people outside the United States hardly ever can tolerate lactose, so you should stop giving them powdered milk. And that argument against people, only certain white people can tolerate lactose, that was heavily promoted as a racist change of foreign policy against foreign aid and food aid in general. Sending them beans was okay, except we didn't need to support the price of American beans that way.

Danny Roddy: Do you think this tendency to be authoritarian, or as Altameyer would have said, right-wing authoritarian, even though it's a semi-confusing term, do you personally see it more in Americans versus other places? I know you've mentioned Mexico as a different type of environment and being a little more cheerful. Do you think that's largely because of the history of the U.S. and how things got flushed out?

Ray Peat: A lot of it is the specific policy choices of the government and corporations indoctrinating Americans in a certain way. And one of my main criticisms of Bob Altameyer is that he has focused on the right-wing authoritarianism, and it would be okay to call it right-wing if you define right in the sense of the fascism that Winston Churchill and FDR subscribed to. Americans generally think of FDR as an extreme leftist president, but definitely his admiration for Mussolini says there was no leftism at all. He said what he was doing was saving his class, saving the ruling class, because there was such a threat of revolution in the United States. So he was saving capitalism, and that would, I think, fit in as, you could say, modified fascism. It was an inventive way of keeping the corporations lightly out of sight, letting them buy the various regulatory agencies, but keeping them out of the executive for their own good. He was fixing the economy with Keynesian economics, which the people who organized a coup in 1933 to get him out, they considered even the borrowing and spending to be a communist plot of government. They wanted to get Roosevelt out, but what he was doing was using finance to prevent revolution. And immediately the Dulleses, when it came out that Alan Dulles was working closely with the Nazis at the end of World War II, Stalin informed Roosevelt that his spies were aware that Dulles was collaborating with the Nazis, and Roosevelt, his comments suggested that he thought maybe Stalin had gone crazy to tell him such a thing. But within two or three days, Roosevelt surely would have found out that Stalin was right, and that would have put Dulles in line for the war crimes trials. But luckily for Dulles, right at that moment, Roosevelt chose to die, saving Dulles from criminal treason prosecution. And the powers in the Democratic Party who had connections both with Adolf Hitler and with the DuPont gang that had organized the 1933 coup attempt, they were in charge of the big city Democratic Power Party machine. And they knew that Harry Truman had expressed himself many times as wanting Hitler to go fight the Soviets. And since that was the preferred American policy, they had installed him as vice president in 1944. And so Roosevelt's death in '45 not only saved Dulles, but it put Truman in position to continue the pro-Nazi policy. I have a project paperclip where the top Germans were not only helped move to Argentina and adjoining countries, but a lot of them were brought to the US, the scientists in particular.

Meanwhile – the powers that be are pushing the idea of the rise of the far right and constructing a narrative which will come in handy when they need the next patsy for the next false flag.

@Peatly I genuinely cannot wait for when we inevitably win so we can just deport all the leftists and their orcs back to Mordor (the third world).

This society where we uphold the sick, broke, resentful, weak, old and COWARDLY to the detriment of the STRONG and BEAUTIFUL cannot end soon enough.

Yeah, there are some people with extreme (dialectical, contextual, scientific) wisdom following the epistemic uncertainty principle and there are others with extremely strong (political) convictions...

And obviously, there are most of the people in between with a mix of both aforementioned attitudes.

Ray gives an explanation how FDR was just protecting his class by punishing the billionaires of the country slightly, to suppress the inevitable CLASS revolution and then got murdered by the Nazi founder of the CIA and what you come away with is 'political distinctions don't exist'. Interesting, It seems more like there exist benevolent Marxists and malevolent ones, but they all adhere to reality as accurately described by Marx. When you quote such a thing keep in mind Ray's own poltical position.

Right-wing politics have never existed. they don't have theory, they don't believe anything and are, for the most part, very stupid. Left-wing politics has a bunch of theory, a lot of it derivative or reactionary but it is Marx, Engels and Lenin who are the foundation of a genuinely revolutionary position (aka left wing politics, the idea of changing something, a term stemming from the french revolution). Two people Ray looked up to, for good reason.

Saying 'you don't believe in left or right' is sort of a meaningless phrase unless, like Ray, you're a genuine Marxist that supported the zenith of the USSR under Stalin, then I get why you would say it, although even then I think Ray was a tiny bit misguided in saying it (you won't hear me say this a lot)

Anyway not to dismiss your contribution.

btw how funny is it that all the supposedly 'right-wing' Yank retatrds in the thread are too scared to even say anything except 'peee pee poo poo'. mentally underdeveloped

Interesting – what exactly are you winning?

[Peatly]

@CO3 I don’t base my statement on anything Ray said – my position is one of realising (during the plandemic) that it doesn’t matter which political party you vote for the outcome is likely to be the same. Perhaps years ago there was some distinction between the left and the right – that has changed. All the culture wars are designed to keep us fighting amongst ourselves. Ultimately, their goal is towards one world governance.

[Love_The_Blacks]

@Peatly by attaining power and within a fortnight bringing things back to the way nature intended them to be.

The right is Bukele cleaning up El Salvador in 1 month and being beloved by his people.

The Left is Stalin exterminating entire classes of people hoping that a utopia would henceforth be ushered in.

Leftists need theory and endless mental masturbation to cope with and explain away why they keep fucking everything up in horrible and novel ways no one ever thought possible outside a science fiction novel.

Before you bring up the holocaust and ascribe the gas chamber as the inevitable and logical end-state of "reactionary politics" think about what type of politics opened up pandora's box by trying to literally eliminate entire classes and groups of people first. (It was the Left!)

[Peatly]

@Love_The_Blacks said in Why is the Ray Peat community so far right?:

The same Nayib Bukele, one of the young global leaders of the WEF?

[Love_The_Blacks]

@Peatly I'm not a neurotic conspiracy brained peasant who sees messages in his soup. I could care less if our president was a Jewish WEF chairman as long as he deported all the migrants and got our country back on track.

[CO3]

@Love_The_Blacks What class of people did Stalin exterminate? Stalin was the most democratic leader to have ever existed, and liberated all classes. I assume you have no knowledge whatsoever about history, but please elucidate what classes of people Stalin exterminated. He did quite a bit more than arrest criminals, you as likely a Yank - judging by the stupidity - could not even conceptualize how much Lenin and him ''cleaned up the country''.

As for the assertion that "being stupid tools of the ruling class with no theoretical foundation is good ackshually":

if all you can do in terms of political agitation is fanboy over some elected politician that - get this - ARRESTS CRIMINALS (literally dickriding because one of their groomed little dogs finally did one aspect of his job a little) then you are hopeless worms.

[Love_The_Blacks]

@CO3 I'll respond to this tonight in full, but the intellectual cope here is funny.

The Kulaks (which was a very loosely defined term in practice, while maybe not-so in theory) of Western Ukraine, an area I've been intimately familiar with since well before this "war."

Not to mention Заячий (Zayachai) island whose people surrendered but were deemed to unruly and inherently counter-revolutionary.

The Left in it's current incarnation is a force of evil. Not everyone can PEAT their way towards becoming competent enough to rule even themselves, never mind others. Leaders have always existed and always will. I understand what you wrote as more anti-natural coping from a leftist.

Are you familiar with elite theory at all?

[Love_The_Blacks]

@Love_The_Blacks zayachai island was Lenin, point still stands

[CO3]

@Love_The_Blacks

The Kulaks? That's an insane thing to claim, never seen anyone say Stalin killed every single land-owning peasant. There was surely a struggle with the petty bourgeois peasantry. It's to be expected if you understand history. Many were trying to starve out the revolution, and they were rightfully repressed for that.

But tell me how can you give voting rights back to a group that you murdered? Do you walk up to the corpses and say 'you can vote now.'? Why would you do that?

Заячий would be transliterated as Zayachiy btw, but I don't know what you're even attempting there. Just call it Hare Island. I speak Russian and I would never think of throwing in the original Russian into a conversation - let alone then needlessly and incorrectly transliterating one part of the place name - especially when the name has a very simple translation.

Stalin also was not in power then AT ALL. Are you fucking stupid or something?

Even though the level of idiocy here barely warrants a response beyond throwing you a stick and saying "Go fetch!":
There were bodies there. It's called a Revolution. You sure are a pussy if you think they should have just convinced and hugged all of their enemies.

As for "elite theory", what's the point of bringing it up if you're not gonna argue it? what should i say? Ok. it exists. I guess

[S.Holmes]

Just a tad to the right of center is where people achieve, they enjoy the fruits of their labor, they're tough on crime, they care for others (family first), and typically believe in a creator that they are ultimately accountable to.

Extreme right and exteme left are two sides of the same coin and where humans lose their rights, and societies and cultures break down.

@CO3 I grew up in Lviv u fake slav, if you do speak russian upload a picture of your short squat subhuman 5'4" face u caucus mountain incel.

There was 100% a genocide of "Ukrainian" Kulaks just like those same Ukrainians then tried to then genocide my mothers side (Polish, from Western Ukraine also). I texted my uncle the name of hare island he texted me back the russian word, i copy and pasted. Did cyrillic scare u?

You're clearly arguing in bad faith. You're a troll, and I hope one of those niggers you leftists love so much and like to keep as pets turns on you because of a 2% reduction in their gibs.

[Love_The_Blacks]

@S-Holmes without property rights and the promise of getting to keep what you produce why not just stay home and jerk off all day or joing a crime syndicate? It would take millenia of harsh eugenics to make everyone kumbaya enough to be okay with the nursing home like life that leftists envision. I hate these people.
