TRUTH MATTERS®: Clean Waters, Healthy Food — Why Verity One, HHS, and USDA Must Work Together
For more than 25 years, we at Verity One and MADE IN USA Inc. have been the independent standard for truth in labeling and reshoring industries. We pioneered Made in USA Certified®, and today we are extending that integrity into farms and food with Product of USA Certified®. At the same time, we’ve built Veritize™ — a blockchain, AI, and IoT platform that issues Nutrient Credits and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) tied to measurable cleanup and accountability.
Why? Because TRUTH MATTERS®.
The Water Crisis Is a Health Crisis
The Potomac River in Washington and the Hudson River in New York remain dirty, despite decades of talk. Polluted rivers aren’t just an environmental problem — they’re a public health crisis.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of HHS, has fought for clean water for decades — from Riverkeeper on the Hudson to the Waterkeeper Alliance. Now, he holds a role where water quality and public health intersect directly.
At the same time, Brook Rollins, Secretary of USDA, is positioned to lead on food and farm accountability. USDA oversees farms, fisheries, labeling, and MCOOL (Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling). Extending the Product of USA Certified® under the USDA’s leadership would give consumers the truth they deserve and farmers the market clarity they need.
Together, HHS and USDA can align health, food, and environment into one national priority.
What We’re Doing at Verity One
At Verity One, we’ve already built the systems to make this real:
- Oysters & Nutrient Credits — Oysters naturally filter 50 gallons of water a day. Restoring reefs in the Potomac, Hudson, and beyond creates measurable water cleanup and tradable Nutrient Credits.
- Blockchain + AI + IoT — our Veritize™ platform makes those credits verifiable, live, and incorruptible. No greenwashing, just proof.
- Product of USA Certified® — we’re expanding this independent label to protect U.S. farms and food systems, aligning with MCOOL and USDA enforcement. Families deserve to know where their food comes from.
- Reshoring Industries — through MADE IN USA Inc., we’re focused on semiconductors, small motors, and food/agriculture. Clean rivers and secure food are as strategic as chips or steel.
We even certified the first U.S.-Certified mined Bitcoin for the U.S. Reserve — proving we can certify truth in the digital asset world, too.
The Pay-to-Play Wall
When Michelle and I, along with Travis and Dylan, attended Bitcoin Asia in Hong Kong, our goal was simple: share our reshoring, blockchain, and Nutrient Credit solutions with the world. And globally, the response was overwhelming. Leaders in Monaco, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, London, and Nice invited us to collaborate — no gatekeepers, no backroom deals, just shared urgency to clean the waters and build accountability.
But back in Washington, D.C., the story was different. Instead of open collaboration, we ran into gatekeepers demanding $275,000 for an introduction — and more for a meeting.
Let’s be clear: we don’t believe Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or Brook Rollins know this is happening. However, access-for-sale is a cancer that blocks solutions America desperately needs.
So we must ask:
"Why is it easier to meet a Prince in Monaco than policymakers in our own capital?" --- Adam Reiser
Why Verity One, HHS, and USDA Belong on the Same Side
- HHS (RFK Jr.) brings the health mandate: polluted water is poisoning Americans.
- USDA (Brook Rollins) brings the food & farm mandate: consumers deserve truth, farmers deserve fairness, and labeling must be enforced.
- Verity One & MADE IN USA Inc. bring the tools: blockchain Nutrient Credits, Product of USA Certified®, and reshoring capacity.
Imagine:
- Oyster reefs in the Potomac and Hudson cleaning rivers.
- Nutrient Credits funding accountability.
- Product of USA Certified® ensuring food truth.
- Real-time IoT data informing both HHS and USDA policy.
This is how America leads.
TRUTH MATTERS® — Let’s Fix This
At Verity One, we’re not here to play political games. We’re here for results:
- Rivers restored.
- Food is truthfully labeled.
- Polluters held accountable.
- Farmers empowered.
- Industries reshored.
The world is already listening. Now, HHS and USDA must lead together.
Because if we can’t clean the Potomac River in our own capital or guarantee the truth of our food, how can we claim to lead the world?
TRUTH MATTERS®.
