A new giant vaccine scandal exposes government lies and psyops

A new giant vaccine scandal exposes government lies and psyops

If you control the use of words and numbers, you can make trillions of dollars, and you can hide scandals that would otherwise take you down into infamy and prison.

You can pretty much operate a whole sector of society and remain untouched.

Nowhere is this more clear than in the criminal work of the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

The real name of that agency should be: Centers for Disease Information Control. That’s what they do. They manipulate words and numbers to present fictional images to the public.

They’re a tax-funded PR front for the medical cartel. A 24/7 psyop.

“Yes, of course I’m a criminal. I work for the CDC.”

Here is the latest blockbuster.

After writing about fake vaccine science since 1988, I thought I’d seen it all:

Wild falsehoods about vaccines creating immunity; suppressed information about toxic ingredients in the shots; the absence of proper controlled studies proving vaccines are safe and effective.

But now Peter Doshi, PhD, writing in the online BMJ (British Medical Journal), reveals a new monstrosity. It’s all based on the revelation that most “flu” is not the flu.

Follow this closely. If you blink, you might miss it.

You see, as Doshi states, every year, hundreds of thousands of respiratory samples are taken from flu patients in the US and tested in labs. Here is the kicker: only a small percentage of these samples show the presence of a flu virus.

This means: most of the people in America who are diagnosed by doctors with the flu have no flu virus in their bodies.

So they don’t have the flu.

Therefore, even if you assume the flu vaccine is useful and safe, it couldn’t possibly prevent all those “flu cases” that aren’t flu cases. The vaccine couldn’t possibly work.

The vaccine isn’t designed to prevent fake flu, unless pigs can fly.

Actually, most flu cases are “bacteria cases,” “fungal cases,” or “pollution cases,” or “tainted food” cases, or “eating GMO cases,” or something else. But they aren’t the flu.

Here’s the exact quote from Peter Doshi’s BMJ review, “Influenza: marketing vaccines by marketing disease” (BMJ 2013; 346:f3037):

“But perhaps the cleverest aspect of the influenza marketing strategy surrounds the claim that ‘flu’ and ‘influenza’ are the same. The distinction seems subtle, and purely semantic. But general lack of awareness of the difference might be the primary reason few people realize that even the ideal influenza vaccine, matched perfectly to circulating strains of wild influenza and capable of stopping all influenza viruses, can only deal with a small part of the ‘flu’ problem because most ‘flu’ appears to have nothing to do with influenza. Every year, hundreds of thousands of respiratory specimens are tested across the US. Of those tested, on average 16% are found to be influenza positive.

“…It’s no wonder so many people feel that ‘flu shots’ don’t work: for most flus, they can’t.”

Because most diagnosed cases of the flu aren’t the flu.

So even if you’re a true believer in mainstream vaccine theory, you’re on the short end of the stick here. They’re conning your socks off.

Doshi points out the wordplay distinction between “flu” and “influenza.” But let’s go even simpler and say: most of the time, diagnosed flu isn’t flu. Period.

In an ethical world, medical researchers and bureaucrats would blow the whistle. They’d say, “Hey, we’re diagnosing huge numbers of people with the flu, but that turns out to be a meaningless term, because they don’t have an influenza virus. So they couldn’t have the flu. These fake ‘flu cases’ couldn’t have benefited from any flu vaccine under the sun BECAUSE THE PATIENTS DON’T HAVE THE FLU.”

But the whistle isn’t blown. Too much money and too many reputations are riding on ignoring the obvious truth.

A patient walks into a doctor’s office. He’s sick. He’s coughing. He has a fever. His muscles ache. The doctor says, “You have the flu. Did you get your flu shot this year?”

“No,” the patient says.

The doctor gives him a stern look. “Well, you should have. See? You’re sick now. The vaccine would have prevented that.”

Wrong.

Again, even by conventional standards, the odds are very high the vaccine would have made no difference at all. Because the odds are very high this patient doesn’t have an influenza virus.

Overwhelmingly, doctors diagnose the flu with a casual eyeball glance. The patient has a familiar cluster of symptoms? It’s flu season? Okay, it’s the flu. Period.

With an ongoing blizzard of psyop-marketing, people accept “flu” and react emotionally to the propaganda about it.

power outside the matrix

Another branch of that propaganda is delivered to frighten Americans into getting a flu shot: the CDC persistently claims that, every year in the US, 36,000 people die of the flu. We’ve all read and heard that figure, over and over.

It’s a “necessary” statistic for the CDC. They need to promote it. They need to convince the population that seasonal flu is dangerous.

The American people don’t understand that it’s a lie, a grossly manufactured delusion that bears no resemblance to reality.

In December of 2005, the British Medical Journal (online) published another shocking report by Peter Doshi, which spelled out the delusion, and created tremors throughout the halls of the CDC.

Here is a quote from Doshi’s report — “Are US flu death figures more PR than science?”:

“[According to CDC statistics], ‘influenza and pneumonia’ took 62,034 lives in 2001—61,777 of which were attributable to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was the flu virus positively identified.”

You see, the CDC has created one category that combines flu and pneumonia deaths. Why do they do this? Because they disingenuously assume that the pneumonia deaths are complications stemming from the flu.

This is an absurd assumption. Pneumonia has a number of causes.

But even worse, in all the flu and pneumonia deaths, only 18 revealed the presence of an influenza virus.

Therefore, the CDC could not say, with assurance, that more than 18 people died of influenza in 2001. Not 36,000 deaths. 18 deaths.

Doshi continues his assessment of published CDC flu-death statistics: “Between 1979 and 2001, [CDC] data show an average of 1348 [flu] deaths per year (range 257 to 3006).” These figures refer to flu separated out from pneumonia.

This death toll is obviously far lower than the parroted 36,000 figure. However, when you add the sensible condition that lab tests have to actually find the flu virus in patients, the numbers of flu deaths plummet even further.

In other words, it’s all promotion and hype.

“Well, uh, we say that 36,000 people die from the flu every year in the US. But actually, it’s closer to 20. However, we can’t admit that, because if we did, we’d be exposing our gigantic psyop. The whole campaign to scare people into getting a flu shot would have about the same effect as warning people to carry iron umbrellas, in case toasters fall out of upper-story windows…and, by the way, we’d be put in prison for fraud.”

In 2009, as the heralded Level 6 global pandemic, Swine Flu, was proving to be a bust and a trickle, Sharyl Attkisson (CBS News) discovered that the CDC had stopped counting the number of Swine Flu cases in America.

The CDC had stopped counting, because their tests on diagnosed flu patients showed so many who didn’t have the flu virus, who didn’t have the flu at all.

Atkisson’s reporting was explosive. It was threatening to expose the whole flu psyop. What would happen if it became common knowledge that most people diagnosed with the flu don’t have the flu? What would happened to the campaigns to get people to take flu vaccines?

What would happen if it became common knowledge that absurdly few people die from the flu?

Attkisson was muzzled. And the CDC doubled down and suddenly claimed there were undoubtedly TENS OF MILLIONS cases of Swine Flu in the US. This, after only several thousand cases had been reported.

This is on the order of saying a a dry creek-bed in the woods is actually the Mississippi River.

Twisting words and numbers and painting false pictures is the CDC’s job.

Finally, remember that the CDC is organized under the Department of Health and Human Services, which is a cabinet post in the executive branch.

So everything the CDC does, every pysop it launches and maintains, is ultimately at the pleasure of the president.

The president may plead ignorance, he may plead many things. But in the chain of command, he is responsible for the vast crimes the CDC commits.

In other words, if the whole flu psyop were broadly exposed, the scandal could travel all the up into the White House.

The Vaccine Empire Collapsed

The Vaccine Empire Collapsed

by Jon Rappoport

October 9, 2012

www.nomorefakenews.com

You may not have heard the explosion, but it happened.

A review (sourced below) from The Cochrane Collaboration, a widely respected research-analysis team, went over all the evidence, and entered its conclusion:

In healthy adults, no flu vaccine delivers protection from the flu.

Boom!

It doesn’t protect against transmission of flu viruses from person to person, either.

Boom!

So all the promotion and all the pandering and all the scare tactics and all the “expert medical opinion” and all the media coverage…useless, worthless, and irrelevant.

Billions of dollars of financed lies about flu vaccines were just that: lies.

It gets worse, because the entire theory about how and why vaccines work is sitting on a razor’s edge, ready to fall into the abyss of discarded fairy tales.

We’ve been told that vaccines stimulate the immune system with a “rehearsal” of what will happen when an actual disease comes down the pipeline. When the disease does show up, the immune system will be locked and loaded, ready to destroy the attacking germ.

But since flu vaccines don’t protect against flu or even stop the transmission of flu viruses from person to person, the so-called “rehearsing” of the immune system is merely somebody’s fancy story. A legend. A myth.

Also, you can forget about the widely sold herd-immunity tale. How can the group be immune when vaccines are doing nothing to prevent the free movement of germs from person to person?

As always, The Cochrane Collaboration did an exhaustive review of all previous studies on flu vaccines they could discover. They rejected the studies that were badly constructed. In some cases, to expand available data, they contacted individual researchers who had conducted studies.

Therefore, Cochrane’s findings represent the best of the published literature on flu vaccines. However, because the Cochrane team owes nothing to pharmaceutical companies, they analyzed the literature with sober eyes and minds.

The Matrix Revealed

Here is an interesting comment from the analysis: “The review showed that reliable evidence on influenza vaccines is thin but there is evidence of widespread manipulation of conclusions…”

Now who in the world would benefit from such manipulating?

Oh yes. One other thing.

The Cochrane review, published by John Wiley and Sons, appeared online on July 7, 2010 .

Over two years ago.

We must have missed the massive mainstream media coverage. Perhaps we were fishing that day, or buying tires for the car, or vacationing on our yachts in the Mediterranean.

What? There was no massive media coverage? Impossible. I mean, surely…

How Swine Flu Was Invented

What if you started a disease-scare and nobody cared?

UPDATED AND EXPANDED to include the whole mind-boggling fraud.

By Jon Rappoport

June 27, 2012

(To join our email list, click here.)

I wrote a shorter version of this article yesterday. After I was done, I decided to expand it before publishing it. So this is the longer piece. It exposes the whole Swine Flu operation as a complete fraud, from the beginning.

I’m assuming readers want to understand this. They are willing to follow a track of thought from start to finish. They want more than a headline and a few paragraphs. I say this because, as a reporter who has been exposing medical fraud for 25 years, I’ve found that the criminals try to cover their tracks. To see how they do it, you have to unwind their ball of yarn all the way. It’s not one-two-three.

With that proviso, here we go.

Remember these terms: La Gloria, PCR test. They are important in understanding how a fake pandemic can be invented from scratch, based on no evidence. You see, it’s not the germ, it’s the false announcement of the germ. It’s the concoction of an apparition, a ghost, a phantom. That’s how you launch a fake pandemic. That’s how you sell fear. That’s how you try to make people take their vaccines and keep their mouths shut.

In my years as an investigative medical reporter, I’ve developed a rule of thumb when dealing with the US Centers for Disease Control:

If they’re not lying, they’re lying.

I’ve found this guideline works out well. It’s almost magic.

For example, at the so-called height of the Swine Flu epidemic, in the summer of 2009, CBS News exposed the fact that the CDC, in an egregious dereliction of its duty, had stopped counting Swine Flu cases. The CDC just assumed people arriving at hospitals or doctors’ offices with anything resembling the flu had Swine Flu. Therefore, the CDC really didn’t have the faintest idea how many people in America had Swine Flu. Yet, soon after this CBS report broke, the CDC issued a mind-boggling announcement plucked out of thin air: there were undoubtedly 10 MILLION people in the US infected with Swine Flu. No evidence. No test results. No facts. Just scare tactics. As in: “You must get vaccinated.”

Well, they’re bloviating again, in a choice bit of revisionist history.

A new CDC study, published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases Journal, states that the final global figure for Swine Flu deaths, 18,500, was grossly underestimated. The new and far more precise figure is…25,000? No. 50,000? No. 100,000?

No.

250,000! But wait. It actually might be as high as 575,400, say the CDC wizards.

What kind of rabbit hat is the CDC pulling those numbers from? The hat is called “a computer model” or a “statistical model.” This is code for: “We devised algorithms, equations, and charts which no one will bother to examine or assess or judge. Trust us. We’re the pros.”

It’s well known that computer models can be created and spun to achieve a wide variety of outcomes, depending on, for example, the result one favors from the get-go. Models of global warming have come under withering attack on that basis.

In typical bungling CDC fashion, the researchers have left clues about their work. The study authors write, “Diagnostic specimens are not always obtained from people who die with influenza and the viruses might no longer be detectable by the time of death in some people.” You might want to read that sentence again.

Translation: “We don’t know what we’re talking about when we jack up the estimates on deaths from Swine Flu because, well, there are a lot of dead people who died without ever having been tested for the H1N1 Swine Flu virus, and we can’t dig up their bodies now and run the tests. But our computer models can somehow perform post-mortem exams.”

Or: “Many, many people died without anyone knowing whether they had Swine Flu. So naturally we’ll assume they did.”

This is called science, and American tax dollars pay for it. They pay for an agency, the CDC, that is tasked with scaring Americans into getting vaccines, no matter what. Even if a re-write of history is necessary.

You see, after all the whipped-up hysteria, in 2009, when the CDC and the World Health Organization told us that a great horror, the H1N1 virus, was stalking the globe and mowing people down left and right with Swine Flu, the final mortality figure, worldwide, was an extreme embarrassment to these agencies. It was especially embarrassing because, well, the World Health Organization claims that, every year, between 250,000 and 500,000 people die from ordinary regular seasonal flu. This is not called a pandemic that could wipe out humankind. But when 18,500 people die of Swine Flu, this is called a Level 6 Pandemic, the highest danger category the World Health Organization can declare.

The CDC also announced today that, in 2009, the Swine Flu virus was “the predominant virus.” In other words, we are supposed to believe, again, with no evidence, that most people who died that year from flu died from Swine Flu. Or to put it another way, in 2009 the usual seasonal flu viruses that circulate decided to take a holiday and give the new kid on the block, Swine Flu, H1N1, a chance to spread his wings and see what he could do.

Therefore, these viruses must be cordial to one another. When a new one comes along, the others make room. They have a conference (thankfully not supported with tax monies) and they come to a consensus.

In some media outlets, the AFP story on this new CDC Swine Flu study included an interesting final sentence, and in at least one other major outlet, the final sentence was omitted.

It was: “The Council of Europe accused the agency [the World Health Organization] of causing unjustified scare and a waste of public money [in their launch and handling of the Swine Flu debacle.]”

Nothing to see there, just move along. Listen to the CDC and the World Health Organization and obey. Do what they tell you to do. They know stuff; you don’t. They’re brilliant; you’re a robot. Line up and take your vaccine.

If you swallow all that, I have stunning condos for sale on Jupiter.

Now let’s go deeper.

Realize, as well, that when the whole Swine Flu scare was launched in the spring of 2009, the WHO absurdly declared the H1N1 virus a Level-6 Pandemic based on a mere 20, that’s 20, cases of Swine Flu. At the same time, WHO changed its definition of “Level-6 Pandemic” so that severe destruction and widespread human death were no longer required. This is like saying a pandemic can be a pandemic without being a pandemic. (Search Peter Doshi, BMJ Online, for coverage on these two points.)

These factors provide strong circumstantial evidence that Swine Flu was an operation designed to frighten the global population, based on nothing. Nothing but anticipated pharmaceutical profits from the sale of vaccines and drugs.

Where did Swine Flu originate? A place called La Gloria, in Mexico, where a large industrial pig farm was located. Press reports described outdoor “pig feces lagoons” on the property. When workers began to get sick, the area was sprayed with unknown chemicals. More workers fell ill. Anyone with a basic knowledge of public health could testify that this combination of mind-boggling sanitation plus a strong germicide could cause human disease. In fact, it doesn’t matter which particular germs are present in the mix.

People at the CDC had to be well aware of this. Yet their choice was to rush researchers to La Gloria, armed with the unfounded assumption that some novel virus, never before seen, was the culprit, and their job was to take blood samples and discover what the new germ was.

Why? Why assume when workers who operate in that kind of environment get sick there is some new disease at work? The symptoms of the workers were not unusual, given the circumstances. Workers dying in that vat of filth and chemical soup should be expected.

But, up front, based on no evidence, the CDC on-site team was going for a new germ and a new disease, and that’s what they announced they had found. A gullible world, fed by press reports, bought in.

But, you say, cases of Swine Flu were subsequently diagnosed all over the planet. It wasn’t just La Gloria. You have to understand how these diagnoses were made, when they were made at all, beyond eyeballing sick people with “flu symptoms” and automatically claiming Swine Flu was the cause.

There is a test called the PCR. This was the major tool used to diagnose Swine Flu. Given the fact that it’s an expensive genetic assay, we can assume it wasn’t done often. The PCR basically takes very, very tiny amounts of unknown human genetic material and amplifies them to the point where they can be observed. In other words, there wasn’t enough “germ” to begin with. It was so miniscule, you couldn’t ID it as is.

This is called a clue. In order to even begin to think about indicting a germ as a cause of a disease, you need to find very large amounts of it. The army of germs has to be huge and it has to be doing something in the body. The PCR test doesn’t yield such a conclusion at all. If anything, it confirms that the army was non-existent.

The test used to diagnose Swine Flu was useless. It was misleading. It was obvious it was misleading. But it was used. Why?

Because it would provide cover. It would make it seem as if Swine Flu was everywhere on the planet.

This is more circumstantial evidence of an intentional operation.

Call a local environmental calamity (in La Gloria) a new disease based on no evidence. Have the leading public health agency in the world (the WHO) change its definition of pandemic to allow a declaration of a level-6 threat, based on a mere 20 cases. Start labeling ordinary flu Swine Flu. Claim it is a new disease, based on no evidence. Use a test to diagnose it that is useless and misleading.

And you’re home free. You have a global threat. You have fear. You have drug companies making a fortune. You have people believing they have to get their vaccines. You have toxic vaccines (by their very nature and composition) injected into the global population.

You have billions of people listening to the WHO and the CDC and following medical orders, which really amounts to political control. It’s all part of the operation to ensnare people into a cradle-to-grave medical apparatus that diagnoses one disease after another, treats these diseases with highly toxic drugs that produce new symptoms, then diagnosing those symptoms as new diseases and then treating those with more toxic drugs, until eventually death comes.

Except a funny thing happened on the CDC’s road to victory in the Swine Flu operation. The Internet rose up like a bear and swatted the CDC with a big paw. A handful of reporters and researchers (including moi) blew the deal. Exposed the scam.

The CDC and the WHO lost. They were slammed. Governments all over over the world are holding stocks of unused H1N1 vaccine, because people didn’t show up to get jabbed in the arm. It was a fiasco for the medical cartel.

Yes, Virginia, sometimes we win. And when we do, if we learn enough, we’re ready for the next load of lies and we know what to do.

Contagion, The Movie

Contagion, The Movie

An authoritative review

by Jon Rappoport

September 6, 2011

www.nomorefakenews.com

First, I want to let you know I’ve ended my radio show. It was a good run, but I have too many other projects going. Thanks to those who listened over the last year or so.

Okay. Now to the matter at hand.

FEAR THE VIRUS.

TREMBLE AT THE VIRUS.

OH, THE HUMANITY, OH THE IRONY, THAT WE, WITH ALL OUR TECHNOLOGY, FALL TO THE MACHINATIONS OF THE BARELY VISIBLE SPECK. OUR HUBRIS HAS BROUGHT US DOWN.

On Sept. 9, the bio-disaster film, Contagion, opens worldwide. With a budget of $60 million, director Steve Soderbergh, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kate Winslet will try to convince audiences that a virus can kill off half the world in six days. Or something.

The tag line on the movie poster is: Nothing Spreads Like Fear.

Or as I prefer, Nothing Spreads Like Bullshit.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdzWcrXVtwg&w=470&h=297]

The script received assistance from the CDC and “a team of scientific experts,” and was partially based on research into the global SARS epidemic. Would that be the epidemic that spawned 8,422 confirmed cases and killed 916 people? (See Katherine Harmon‘s report — in Scientific American — on the scientists consulted and the science used during the making of the film).

More people have died from toasters falling out of apartment windows than from SARS.

The CDC will love this film, because, God knows, they need all the ammo they can get to justify their bloated budget, as they continue to do nothing about disease, except falsify reports on it.

For one reference, go to startpage.com and type in “Peter Doshi, BMJ, CDC flu death statistics,” and you’ll get an eyeful.

Anyway, I’m sure Contagion will make back its expenses, even if the CDC has to buy ten million tickets.

Vegas casino bookies are setting the over-under line on how times the word “mutation” will be mentioned in the film at 40.

Hollywood has a long tradition of hyping medical “brilliance,” and Contagion will be its latest brain-dead homage.

Laurence (CSI) Fishburne, as the CDC spokesman, will deliver a morbidly stagnant phoned-in performance—which, come to think of it, is perfect for his role.

Jude Law, as the rogue blogger, will mention at least one fake cure for the lethal virus. Wonder if it will be nutritional—you know, just to take a swipe at natural health.

“See your doctor, take your medicine, and shut up, even though we don’t have an effective medicine. And as your brain is being munched on by The Germ and your spine is dissolving and you are being shot at by mobs of rioters, don’t you dare ingest a few herbs. There are no peer-reviewed studies establishing efficacy for such remedies.”

Perhaps, at the end of the movie, we’ll see an announcement about getting vaccinated. Flu-jab booths in the lobby?

The producers are hoping for a good bounce from the horror-film crowd, but this could backfire, because those folks are often vocal when they sit in dark theaters and watch people on the screen being eaten up.

I predict the following. In at least one theater somewhere in the world:

Someone will sit in his seat and squeeze out a hacking cough from start to finish of this turkey;

Someone will say, “There’s a virus on your face! Get away from me!”

Someone will shout, “Kill, virus, faster!”

Someone will yell, “My organs are falling out of my body!”

They will be hushed by nasty glares from other moviegoers, who ascribe a sacred quality to viruses bordering on religious awe.

I’ve been waiting years for someone to start an underground Church of the Virus.

“God is actually H1N1. He’s had enough.”

If you decide to spend ten or 20 bucks, or whatever it costs to go to movies these days, opt for the super-giant tub of popcorn with plastic butter before you slip into your seat. Or alternatively, wear a surgical mask, or tote an oxygen tank on your back with a tube and an inhaler. Between snorts, boo the inevitable researcher who saves the planet at the last minute. Make your own fun, because this is going to be a 105-minute epidemic of crap the likes of which you haven’t seen since Outbreak.

False Science: The Parallels

False Science: The Parallels

by Jon Rappoport

June 29, 2010

www.nomorefakenews.com

I want to point out the common factors in certain disease research and global warming research.

First of all, global warming is based on the notion of a single cause: CO2.  Although pro-AGW (anthropogenic global warming) scientists readily admit there are other factors, they all say it is manmade CO2 which has pushed us over the brink.

In the so-called Swine Flu epidemic, the culprit has been announced: H1N1.  It is the cause of the illness.

CO2 has been absurdly isolated from a whole host of other relevant factors, in a highly complex weather system, as the single entity that has “taken the planet to the edge of disaster.”

H1N1 has been absurdly isolated from a whole host of other relevant factors (immune function, horrendous conditions at the La Gloria, Mexico, Smithfield pig farm, where Swine Flu supposedly originated, etc.) as the single entity causing Swine Flu.

When researchers attempt to explain how CO2 creates excessive warming, they run into contrary evidence and unsolved questions.  Ditto for H1N1.  For example, no standard diagnostic tests measure the concentration of the virus in the body—and it is the level of concentration (titer) which differentiates actual illness from mere passenger-viral status.

Swine Flu cases numbers and deaths don’t even begin to approach the figures on seasonal, conventional, run-of-the-mill flu.  In other words, the effect of H1N1 is relatively slight.  In the same way, when models and massaged temperature data are exposed as fraudulent, the picture of planetary warming becomes modest or even trivial.  The effect of CO2 is slight.

In the case of Swine Flu and global warming, alarmist propaganda has propelled these phenomena into money juggernauts.  Furthermore, in both cases, UN agencies have emerged as power players: WHO and IPCC.  Both agencies have globalist goals—central control of populations through over-hyped threats.

This last fact is more apparent in the matter of AGW.  But a wave of phony epidemics has placed WHO in a cardinal position to call shots on national economies and exert pressure to make governments fall into line and surrender aspects of their sovereignty.

The SARS “epidemic,” in which fewer than 1000 deaths have been reported, globally, since 2003, cost Asian economies $40 billion.  Toronto, shut down by WHO travel advisories, lost several billion dollars—and a budding effort to mount a suit against WHO faded away, as residents of the city bit the bullet.

Of course, ceiling caps on carbon emissions and a “kinder, gentler” USSR-type allocation of natural resources, globally, is the goal of IPCC.

At the bottom of all this?  False science.  That is the engine.

False Science: The Parallels

False Science: The Parallels

by Jon Rappoport

December 30, 2009

www.nomorefakenews.com

I want to point out the common factors in certain disease research and global warming research.

First of all, global warming is based on the notion of a single cause: CO2.  Although pro-AGW (anthropogenic global warming) scientists readily admit there are other factors, they all say it is manmade CO2 which has pushed us over the brink.

In the so-called Swine Flu epidemic, the culprit has been announced: H1N1.  It is the cause of the illness.

CO2 has been absurdly isolated from a whole host of other relevant factors, in a highly complex weather system, as the single entity that has “taken the planet to the edge of disaster.”

H1N1 has been absurdly isolated from a whole host of other relevant factors (immune function, horrendous conditions at the La Gloria, Mexico, Smithfield pig farm, where Swine Flu supposedly originated, etc.) as the single entity causing Swine Flu.

When researchers attempt to explain how CO2 creates excessive warming, they run into contrary evidence and unsolved questions.  Ditto for H1N1.  For example, no standard diagnostic tests measure the concentration of the virus in the body—and it is the level of concentration (titer) which differentiates actual illness from mere passenger-viral status.

Swine Flu cases numbers and deaths don’t even begin to approach the figures on seasonal, conventional, run-of-the-mill flu.  In other words, the effect of H1N1 is relatively slight.  In the same way, when models and massaged temperature data are exposed as fraudulent, the picture of planetary warming becomes modest or even trivial.  The effect of CO2 is slight.

In the case of Swine Flu and global warming, alarmist propaganda has propelled these phenomena into money juggernauts.  Furthermore, in both cases, UN agencies have emerged as power players: WHO and IPCC.  Both agencies have globalist goals—central control of populations through over-hyped threats.

This last fact is more apparent in the matter of AGW.  But a wave of phony epidemics has placed WHO in a cardinal position to call shots on national economies and exert pressure to make governments fall into line and surrender aspects of their sovereignty.

The SARS “epidemic,” in which fewer than 1000 deaths have been reported, globally, since 2003, cost Asian economies $40 billion.  Toronto, shut down by WHO travel advisories, lost several billion dollars—and a budding effort to mount a suit against WHO faded away, as residents of the city bit the bullet.

WHO aims to become a vast and permanent international medical infra-structure that will govern all future epidemics, and in the process allocate resources from various governments to poorer nations.  Wealth distribution.

Of course, ceiling caps on carbon emissions and a “kinder, gentler” USSR-type allocation of natural resources, globally, is the goal of IPCC.

At the bottom of all this?  False science.  That is the engine.

The Big Medical Con Game: Teleseminar Dec 7th

The Big Medical Con Game: Teleseminar Dec 7th

by Jon Rappoport

December 4, 2009

This is a telephone seminar. After you sign up, you’ll receive an email giving you the phone number to call, and your personal passcode, to get into the seminar.

We’re keeping the cost as low as we can. Your $15 helps keep Jon’s work going, and it also means you’ll receive an mp3 of the event—so even if you can’t make the live call, you’ll receive the mp3 (4-5 days after the seminar).

Here is a note from Jon:

Lately, my work as escalated on the investigative front. I’ve been doing a number of radio shows and webcasts. The phony Swine Flu pandemic has focused millions of people on the practice of modern medicine.

So in this seminar, I’m going to explore central elements of the medical con game and cover new ground. Psychiatric drugs, more on vaccines, how medical PR and propaganda work, the true epidemic of medical-research fraud, and the granddaddy of all pharmaceutical cartels, the infamous Nazi IG Farben and its medical allies.

I’ll be expanding the time of the seminar to 90 minutes, and I’ll take as many of your questions as I can.

In these times, it’s absolutely necessary that we understand the true agendas of the medical complex and its deceptions and cons.

I hope you’ll be there, and I hope you’ll spread the word to your friends. Join me as I lay bare the medical machine.

And now, here is the first backgrounder for the seminar.

THE MEDICAL CON

The history of emergency, crisis, acute trauma medicine is the history of applying one cruel measure of success or failure: did the patient live or die?

There was no hiding the result. It was there for all to see.

The soldier lying wounded on the battlefield, the crash victim extracted from his car, the rescued half-frozen mountain climber—do the doctors put them back together, or do the patients fail to make it?

Over time, this branch of medicine achieved spectacular results. Yes, even ER heroics can be overworked and drive the patient into chronic disability, but all in all, we would have to say the field of emergency medical practice has been a major success.

The Big Con enters the scene when doctors pretend that such achievements can be assumed and inferred over the whole range of practice: all surgeries, drug therapy, treatment of chronic diseases, so-called mental disorders.

But through favoritism, partnerships with governments, and other monopolistic practices, modern medicine has been able to blur the standards of success or failure.

“We are the Only Ones. If we save a patient, if the patient succumbs, if the patient is injured by our work—it doesn’t matter, because no one in the world would be able to do better. Every treatment we apply is the best that science can offer at the moment. Therefore, we’re exempt from blame.”

Modern medicine has awesome PR capability. It has used that force to disseminate the notion that its successes in the ER are mirrored in all other branches of its work. And, of course, this is the big lie.

Because a doctor can repair a broken leg, does this mean he can wield a dangerous drug like Ritalin and better the life of a child who is bored in the classroom? Because the doctor can break up a blood clot that is threatening to kill a patient in the next hour, does that mean he can help a woman whose breast tumor would never progress to a dangerous stage—by removing both of her breasts?

Because the doctor can temporarily beat down an inflammation that is cutting off vital organ function, does that mean he can assist an immune-deficient patient by giving him a drug that nullifies the ability of immune cells to reproduce?

Because the doctor can stay an infection that has spiraled out of control, does that mean he can erase a prolonged state of depression by prescribing a medicine that unpredictably scrambles brain neurotransmitter processes?

These are questions that make no sense to most doctors. Relying on unscientific, slanted, fraudulent, incompetent studies, doctors will assert that their treatments for hundreds of conditions represent the frontier of what humans are able to do to help one another.

In these treatments, all real standards of success and failure are missing. There is no yardstick. There is only self-inflating propaganda.

When the practice of healing loses its way, and refuses to confess its lies, one result is the telling of bigger and more damaging lies.

The whole efficacy testing of vaccines relies on the faulty premise that the production of antibodies is the only goal. If a new vaccine can induce antibodies, it is deemed an unqualified success. However, in the last 25 years, antibody tests used to diagnose diseases have gained a new ascendance. If a patient is found to have antibodies to a particular disease-germ, he can be said to be infected by that disease.

On the one hand, production of antibodies via a vaccine is a sign of immunity to a disease-germ. But discovering those same antibodies during a diagnostic test is taken to mean the patient is ill or will become ill.

Admitting this gross contradiction would be akin to prosecutors, all over country, saying the last 20 years of their criminal cases have been wholly tainted by invented lab work, whose sole purpose was gaining convictions in court.

Once upon a time, it was well understood that the mere detection of a germ in the patient was insufficient for a disease diagnosis. It was necessary to establish that an army of millions of these germs was active in the body. Now, that is overturned. Again, the standard has been blurred and decimated. This sea change has paved the way for the declaration of epidemics where no epidemics exist. It has emboldened and empowered public health agencies all over the world to force vaccines and medicines on populations.

Following the money is easy. Drug companies accrue enormous profits from these escalating medical lies. In fact, the companies work hand in glove with medical researchers to foster the various cons.

In the immunization arena, no true controlled trials of new vaccines are carried out. There are no long-term studies which compare the outcomes in matched groups, where one group receives a vaccine and the other group does not. By “matched,” I mean equivalent nutritional status, equivalent environmental (toxic burden) status, equivalent immune-function, equivalent medical history.

The absence of such trials—and the accompanying lies about “scientific veracity”—benefits the vaccine manufacturers, who can claim efficacy and safety for their products without the application of a true standard of success or failure.

When a child who has just received a DPT shot begins to scream and suddenly spikes with a high fever and experiences seizures and subsequent brain damage, you are seeing the result of these lies and the intentional eradication of all standards.

You’re seeing how cold and vicious the practice of medicine can be, and how far it can depart from the simple notion of saving a human being’s life when he is lying on a battlefield or a highway.

Official Science: The Big Medical Con Game

Official Science: The Big Medical Con Game

by Jon Rappoport

December 4, 2009

The recent scandal surrounding fake climate–change science, and the scandal around Swine Flu, are both reflections of the same premise:

There are official scientists; everyone else is irrelevant.

This is a game that works, but in the age of the Internet, the walls are coming down. More and more independent researchers and investigators are challenging officialdom.

This challenge is not only aimed at exposing the con game in which some scientists hold power regardless of their ability; no, it’s more than that. It’s exposing the fake science itself.

And it’s catching on.

But in order to take the next step forward, people have to realize that, regardless of their training, they can recognize certain aspects of fake science.

For example: Where is the evidence that a mere trace of a virus can cause illness?

You see, these days, when a so-called new virus is found, it’s automatically assumed it is the cause of some illness.

So the question is: Who says so?

Where is the proof for that assumption?

Asking the question is already planting a dagger in the heart of disease research.

None of the standard tests for Swine Flu determine how much H1N1 virus is in the patient. If evidence exists that any amount of H1N1 is present, researchers assume it’s the cause of flu.

This is a lie.

I’ve approached several scientists with this issue, and they have all begged off. They say they don’t know “all the facts.” That’s a diversion.

All traditional research is based on the common-sense notion that, in order to contribute to disease, many millions of a particular germ have to be present in the patient’s body. You need an army.

About 30 years ago, this standard was thrown out the window. No reason was given.

If you think about it, this change opened the door to saying any old or new germ is causing disease.

That’s like saying any increase in the level of sun spots, no matter how tiny, can destroy the Earth.

It makes no sense.

And people everywhere can understand that, if they leave behind the foolish idea that “the experts must know what they’re doing.”

If some piece of science makes no sense to you, there’s a decent chance that it’s made-up science.

That’s how I got into medical reporting. I just started asking questions. If an idea seemed weird to me, I asked people about it, and I kept digging. Most of the time, what sounded weird to me turned out to be fraudulent.

Inner circles of official science don’t like that approach. They have their arcane language and their computer models and their projections all dressed up in obscure formulae—and they protect that territory. They don’t want intrusion.

“We know. You wouldn’t be able to understand it. Let us do our work.”

That used to fly, but not so much anymore.

The walls are coming down.

One of the two bonuses in THE MATRIX REVEALED is the complete text (331 pages) of AIDS INC., the book that exposed a conspiracy of scientific fraud deep within the medical research establishment. The book has become a sought-after item, since its publication in 1988. It contains material about viruses, medical testing, and the invention of disease that is, now and in the future, vital to our understanding of phony epidemics arising in our midst. I assure you, the revelations in the book will surprise you; they cut much deeper and are more subtle than “virus made in a lab” scenarios.

Swine Flu Death Report

Swine Flu Death Report

by Jon Rappoport

November 30, 2009

Reuters has put the global death figure from Swine Flu at 6,250. That’s the official total from the beginning of the “pandemic” in April.

Doing the math, and extrapolating for the rest of 2009, we get roughly 10,000 deaths. World-wide.

However, the CDC claims that, in the US alone, every year, 36,000 people die from regular ordinary flu.

WHO estimates that, globally, 300,000 to 500,000 people die every year from ordinary regular flu.

Put it together, folks. This whole thing is a sham and a scam.

If we accept all these stats, CDC/WHO should be saying, “Well, thanks to Swine Flu, we’ve had a mild flu season so far.” Or they should be saying, “Swine Flu is nothing. Regular flu is killing far more people, as we speak. Forget Swine Flu.”

Why aren’t major media pounding on this hoax day after day? One, by and large, they’re too stupid. And two, they don’t want to take on the CDC and WHO and the drug companies that are making billions from the vaccine.

Note: There is a vast difference between publishing two or three articles that question the severity of Swine Flu—and mounting a day-in day-out campaign designed to expose the fraud. Two different animals.

With few exceptions, major media don’t run day-in day-out campaigns about anything anymore. The mindset is: here today, gone tomorrow.

To the degree that the legend of the crusading journalist and publisher was ever true…that day is over. You could drop tons of paint from planes and never hit a crusading newspaper.

I should also point out there is a potential domino effect here. IF a major newspaper or TV network decided to expose the CDC/WHO racket on Swine Flu, after all the heavy propaganda about the “pandemic,” other questions would be raised about these lying agencies and their pharmaceutical allies. There would be a piling-on.

Media are certainly not up for that. It would disturb too many icons and expose too many skeletons, and it would directly challenge medical science, big money, and the veracity of many doctors and medical bureaucrats who feed stories to reporters on a regular basis. The whole structure of medical/health reporting would tremble.

SWINE FLU A FRAUD; PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCIES LYING.

RECENT EPIDEMICS A BUST; PUBLIC FRIGHTENED BY CRIMINALLY FALSE STATEMENTS.

LEADING EXPERT ADMITS WEST NILE, SARS, BIRD FLU, SWINE FLU A BLIP ON THE SCREEN OF DEATH STATISTICS.

106,000 AMERICANS DIE EVERY YEAR FROM THE EFFECTS OF FDA-APPROVED MEDICINES.

US MEDICAL SYSTEMS KILLS 225,000 PEOPLE A YEAR; THIRD LEADING CAUSE BEHIND HEART DISEASE AND CANCER.

CDC, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES LOOK THE OTHER WAY ON MEDICALLY CAUSED DEATHS.

MAJOR TRANQUILIZERS CAUSE 300,000 CASES OF BRAIN DAMAGE.

And so and so forth, the dominos falling.

Collusion between the press and the public health agencies is the barrier that keeps the overall fraud from crashing into view.

“You lie to me, I’ll lie to the public.” That’s the unspoken treaty between reporters and medical bureaucrats.

No wonder television reporters need so much make-up. It has to cover so much.

CBS and The Swine Flu

CBS and The Swine Flu

by Jon Rappoport

October 22, 2009

Get this. The CDC stopped testing people for Swine Flu in JULY. Why? Because CDC assumed there was already an epidemic, and therefore more tests would be waste of time and money.

CBS has been trying to obtain state-by-state numbers for Swine Flu cases compiled, by the CDC, BEFORE the testing was stopped. The CDC has refused to come across with those numbers. It’s been stonewalling CBS for the last three months.

Why? No answer from the CDC. But the truth is obvious. The actual Swine Flu case numbers don’t begin to match the ominous pronouncements about Swine Flu from the CDC, and the case numbers certainly don’t match the general press hysteria and fear-mongering.

But CBS didn’t stop at the stone wall of the CDC. They went to individual states who continued to test patients for Swine Flu after July, and they obtained some VERY interesting figures.

The figures show that all sorts of illness one might blithely assume was Swine Flu was NOT. Not Swine Flu.

In California, based on 13,704 tests for suspected Swine Flu, only 2% of the patients had Swine Flu. That’s right. 12% had some other kind of flu. And a whopping 86% didn’t have flu at all.

What did the 86% have? Who knows? A cold? A brief cough? A case of fear generated by the CDC?

Boom.

In Florida, based on 8,853 tests for suspected Swine Flu, only 17% had Swine Flu. 83% were negative for other flu. So 83% didn’t have ANY kind of flu.

In Alaska, based on 722 tests for suspected Swine Flu, only 11% had Swine Flu. In Georgia, based on 3,117 tests, only 2% had Swine Flu. 2%.

I have to mention that there are at least two problems, even when lab tests for Swine Flu ARE done. First, the so-called Rapid Test, according to the CDC itself, does not definitively identify H1N1. And two—and much more important—none of the usual Swine Flu tests assess the number of Swine Flu viruses in the body of a particular person. Why does that matter? Because you need millions of a particular virus chomping away to even begin to say that virus is contributing to illness.

So we can assume that the very low numbers of actual Swine Flu cases these states are reporting are even lower. Much lower.

The degree of lying and obfuscation here is huge. The CDC has been caught with its pants down around its ankles. The “epidemic” is at best a trickle. The game is over.

But of course the hysteria will continue. The CDC will ignore these revelations. The vaccine campaign will continue. The utter bullshit will keep piling higher and higher. The drug companies will keep ringing up the cash register.

President Obama, whose cabinet post, Health and Human Services, is in charge of the CDC, will perhaps not even know what is going on. If he does figure it out, he’ll do nothing. The train has already left the station. It’s too late to suffer the level of executive embarrassment the truth would deliver.

Remember this moment. Remember it, because you know that, in the future, the CDC will be making announcements about other diseases. You’ll be able to muster the amount of gargantuan doubt that the CDC deserves. Unless you like being fooled. Unless you like the fear. Unless you like having something, anything to believe in, regardless of the track record.

Here is the CBS story:

Swine Flu Cases Overestimated?

CBS News Exclusive: Study Of State Results Finds H1N1 Not As Prevalent As Feared

by Sharyl Attkisson

October 21, 2009

If you’ve been diagnosed “probable” or “presumed” 2009 H1N1 or “swine flu” in recent months, you may be surprised to know this: odds are you didn’t have H1N1 flu.

In fact, you probably didn’t have flu at all. That’s according to state-by-state test results obtained in a three-month-long CBS News investigation.

The ramifications of this finding are important. According to the Center for Disease Control, CDC, and Britain’s National Health Service, once you have H1N1 flu, you’re immune from future outbreaks of the same virus. Those who think they’ve had H1N1 flu — but haven’t — might mistakenly presume they’re immune. As a result, they might skip taking a vaccine that could help them, and expose themselves to others with H1N1 flu under the mistaken belief they won’t catch it. Parents might not keep sick children home from school, mistakenly believing they’ve already had H1N1 flu.

Why the uncertainty about who has and who hasn’t had H1N1 flu?

In late July, the CDC abruptly advised states to stop testing for H1N1 flu, and stopped counting individual cases. The rationale given for the CDC guidance to forego testing and tracking individual cases was: why waste resources testing for H1N1 flu when the government has already confirmed there’s an epidemic?

Some public health officials privately disagreed with the decision to stop testing and counting, telling CBS News that continued tracking of this new and possibly changing virus was important because H1N1 has a different epidemiology, affects younger people more than seasonal flu and has been shown to have a higher case fatality rate than other flu virus strains.

CBS News learned that the decision to stop counting H1N1 flu cases was made so hastily that states weren’t given the opportunity to provide input. Instead, on July 24, the Council for State and Territorial Epidemiologists, CSTE, issued the following notice to state public health officials on behalf of the CDC:

“Attached are the Q&As that will be posted on the CDC website tomorrow explaining why CDC is no longer reporting case counts for novel H1N1. CDC would have liked to have run these by you for input but unfortunately there was not enough time before these needed to be posted (emphasis added).”

On Aug. 4, CBS News asked the CDC for e-mail communications to states and other documents regarding the guidance and its rationale. When CDC did not provide us with the documents, such as state-by-state numbers prior to halting testing and tracking, we filed a Freedom of Information request with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). More than two months later, the request has not been fulfilled.

We asked all 50 states for their statistics on state lab-confirmed H1N1 prior to the halt of individual testing and counting in July. The results reveal a pattern that surprised a number of health care professionals we consulted. The vast majority of cases were negative for H1N1 as well as seasonal flu, despite the fact that many states were specifically testing patients deemed to be most likely to have H1N1 flu, based on symptoms and risk factors, such as travel to Mexico.

It’s unknown what patients who tested negative for flu were actually afflicted with since the illness was not otherwise determined. Health experts say it’s assumed the patients had some sort of cold or upper respiratory infection that is just not influenza.

With most cases diagnosed solely on symptoms and risk factors, the H1N1 flu epidemic may seem worse than it is. For example, on Sept. 22, this alarming headline came from Georgetown University in Washington D.C.: “H1N1 Flu Infects Over 250 Georgetown Students.”

H1N1 flu can be deadly and an outbreak of 250 students would be an especially troubling cluster. However, the number of sick students came not from lab-confirmed tests but from “estimates” made by counting “students who went to the Student Health Center with flu symptoms, students who called the H1N1 hotline or the Health Center’s doctor-on-call, and students who went to the hospital’s emergency room.”

Without lab testing, it’s impossible to know how many of the students actually had H1N1 flu. But the statistical trend indicates it was likely much fewer than 250.

CDC continues to monitor flu in general and H1N1 through “sentinels,” which basically act as spot-checks to detect trends around the nation. But at least one state, California, has found value in tracking H1N1 flu in greater detail.

“What we are doing is much more detailed and expensive than what CDC wants,” said Dr. Bela Matyas, California’s Acting Chief of Emergency Preparedness and Response. “We’re gathering data better to answer how severe is the illness. With CDC’s fallback position, there are so many uncertainties with who’s being counted, it’s hard to know how much we’re seeing is due to H1N1 flu rather than a mix of influenza diseases generally. We can tell that apart but they can’t.”

After our conversation with Dr. Matyas, public affairs officials with the California Department of Public Health emphasized to CBS News that they support CDC policy to stop counting individual cases, maintaining that the state has the resources to gather more specific testing data than the CDC.

Because of the uncertainties, the CDC advises even those who were told they had H1N1 to get vaccinated unless they had lab confirmation. “Persons who are uncertain about how they were diagnosed should get the 2009 H1N1 vaccine.”

That’s unwelcome news for a Marietta, Georgia mom whose two children were diagnosed with “probable” H1N1 flu over the summer. She hoped that would mean they wouldn’t need the hastily developed H1N1 flu vaccine. However, since their cases were never confirmed with lab tests, the CDC advises they get the vaccine. “I wish they had tested and that I knew for sure whether they had it. I’m not anxious to give them an experimental vaccine if they don’t need it.”

Speaking to CBS’ “60 Minutes,” CDC Director Dr. Frieden said he has confidence that the vaccine will be safe and effective: “We’re confident it will be effective we have every reason to believe that it will be safe.”

However, the CDC recommendation for those who had “probable” or “presumed” H1N1 flu to go ahead and get vaccinated anyway means the relatively small proportion of those who actually did have H1N1 flu will be getting the vaccine unnecessarily. This exposes them to rare but significant side effects, such as paralysis from Guillain-Barre syndrome.

It also uses up vaccine, which is said to be in short supply. The CDC was hoping to have shipped 40 million doses by the end of October, but only about 30 million doses will be available this month.

The CDC did not response to questions from CBS News for this report.
