264 B A VERY BRAVE MAN

Dear Reader in view of the 79 Holistic Doctors who have been murdered or feigned or covered up as suicides in some cases I feel this is worth a Post on its own. Please bear in mind dear folk that there is a Post 264, 264 A and now 26 B.  I realise there is a lot to take in and read, so after these supplementary ones I will leave a gap or if I feel a really 'hot' number comes up I will do a separate Post.  Thank you for your readership, patience, support and interest. My fondest wishes for your well being.
  

Brian Hooker, Ph.D., issued a press release today clarifying some issues related to his past relationship to Dr. William Thompson of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Dr. Thompson originally contacted Dr. Hooker and confessed that the CDC had covered up data in a 2004 article published in the Journal of Pediatrics that linked the MMR vaccine to autism. When the phone conversations between Brian Hooker and William Thompson went public, Dr. Thompson hired a whistle blower attorney.

However, in spite of the confessions of fraud at the CDC by Dr. Thompson, he retained his position at the CDC, and no committee chair in Congress dared to take on the pharmaceutical cartel and hold hearings on the matter. Dr. Thompson was never subpoenaed to be questioned about the alleged fraud at the CDC. Congressman Bill Posey was the lone voice in Congress calling for hearings, and he allegedly received documents from Dr. Thompson as well as an affidavit. Dr. Thompson appeared willing to testify, but only under oath before Congress.

It never happened.
With the recent popularity of the film VAXXED, which features the story of Dr. Thompson becoming a whistleblower and revealing fraud at the CDC, more information has come forward about just why it is believed Dr. Thompson retained his position at the CDC, and just how the CDC is going to handle this story, which for the most part has been censored in the mainstream media, but been on fire in the Alternative Media and Social Media.
Dr. Brian Hooker made some comments at one of the Q & A sessions of the film’s premiere in Manhattan recently, and today he issued a formal press release explaining the basis of those comments.

Dr. Brian Hooker’s official statement regarding William Thompson

Dr. William Thompson, senior scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) contacted me during 2013 and 2014 and shared many issues regarding fraud and malfeasance in the CDC, specifically regarding the link between neuro-developmental disorders and childhood vaccines. Dr. Thompson and I spoke on the phone more than 40 times over a 10 month period and he shared thousands of pages of CDC documents with me. Eventually, Dr. Thompson turned this information over to Congress via Rep. Bill Posey of Florida. Among the issues discussed in the phone conversations were lies told to the public by the CDC regarding the link between thimerosal-containing vaccines and neurodevelopmental disorders (including autism) as well as the links between the MMR vaccine and autism in African American males and the MMR vaccine and “isolated” autism. Isolated autism is the term coined by CDC researchers referring to all children who received an autism diagnosis without additional diagnoses of mental retardation, cerebral palsy, visual impairment or hearing impairment.
Very recently, Mr. Richard Morgan, Esq., Dr. Thompson’s whistle blower attorney, stated that Dr. Thompson will be publishing a paper in May, 2016, where he will assert that the MMR vaccine is not linked to autism in African American males. Instead Dr. Thompson will state that socioeconomic factors alone in the African American community account for the original MMR-African American male “effect” (the effect that he is on record as stating the CDC purposefully hid). I have not been given access to Dr. Thompson’s reanalysis and therefore cannot comment regarding the forthcoming paper at this time. However, I am suspect of any analysis coming from the CDC due to the historic nature of the agency’s scientific misconduct and conflicts of interest specifically around any link between vaccines and autism.

Regardless of the content of Dr. Thompson’s reanalysis paper, these facts remain:

  1. CDC scientists colluded to cover up a relationship between the timing of the MMR vaccine and autism in African Americans that was first discovered in November of 2001. Rather than reporting the results to the public, all data regarding this relationship were destroyed at a secret meeting held some time in August/September of 2002. This fact has been affirmed via an affidavit given by Dr. Thompson to Rep. Bill Posey in September, 2014.
  2. Dr. Thompson attempted to warn the CDC Director at the time, Dr. Julie Gerberding, regarding this relationship, prior to the February 2004 Institute of Medicine meeting on vaccines and autism. Rather than allowing Dr. Thompson to present the information at this meeting, Dr. Gerberding replaced him as a speaker with Dr. Frank Destefano, current director of the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office, where he presented fraudulent results regarding the MMR vaccine and autism. Dr. Thompson was put on administrative leave and was threatened that he would be fired due to “insubordination.”
  3. When Dr. Thompson attempted to leave the CDC later that same year, he was given a $24,000 retention bonus. Dr. Thompson’s impression of the timing of this bonus, in light of disciplinary actions taken against him earlier that year, is that CDC officials were “buying his silence” through controlling his actions as a CDC employee.
  4. Dr. Thompson has published two papers linking thimerosal exposure in infant vaccines to tics in boys (Thompson et al. 2007 and Barile et al. 2012). CDC fraudulently maintains on their website that “There is no evidence of harm caused by the low doses of thimerosal in vaccines, except for minor reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site.” (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/thimerosal/). The tic result was also affirmed in the earlier CDC publication by Verstraeten et al. (2003) and the Andrews et al. (2004) publication.
  5. CDC pressured Dr. Thompson to downplay the tic result of his analysis in his 2007 paper. He was instructed to deemphasize the tic result by the CDC’s Chief Science Officer, Dr. Tanja Popovic, by emphasizing that the “major finding of the study” was “there is NO associations (sic) of thimerosal exposure with the great majority of the outcomes.” Dr. Popovic also instructed Dr. Thompson to interpret any negative outcomes as “chance findings.”
  6. CDC also pressured Dr. Thompson to withhold publication of his 2012 paper which reported a relationship between thimerosal and tics. Dr. Ed Travathan, head of the CDC’s National Center for Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, stated in an April 27, 2009 memo to him that the analysis was sound except for the tic results and that they should be omitted from the publication. Since the tic result was the only result that had a consistent negative relationship with thimerosal exposure, it seemed that Dr. Thompson’s superiors were specifically concerned that thimerosal’s safety and use not be questioned. As an epidemiologist, Dr. Thompson was justifiably concerned and critical of the CDC’s action to approve the paper for publication only after the CDC took the extraordinary step of adding an expert in tics to water down the paper to state, “This finding should be interpreted with caution due to limitations in the measurement of tics and the limited biological plausibility regarding a causal relationship.”
Thompson himself instructed me regarding the link between thimerosal and “autism like features” and stated that “tics were like five times more common in children with autism.” Yet the CDC will not recommend thimerosal-free vaccines and thimerosal is still used in many flu shots given to infants and pregnant women in the U.S.
Beyond this, the CDC, through the fraud and scientific malfeasance revealed by Dr. Thompson and others, has been shown repeatedly to be a conflicted, dysfunctional agency having no business stewarding vaccine safety for the United States. I join the call from Dr. William Thompson and many others to remove vaccine safety surveillance activities from the CDC to an entity completely independent of the CDC and Department of Health and Human Services as a whole. Again, the revelations of Dr. Thompson go far beyond issues with the MMR vaccine and affirm my own inquiry of the CDC starting in 2001. Please join me in calling for an immediate Congressional investigation of this agency.

Homeopathy has been granted the same status as conventional medicine in Switzerland when it comes to medical insurance. Other alternatives, including herbal medicine, acupuncture and Chinese Traditional Medicine, have also been recognised.

The alternative therapies will be regarded as being equal to conventional medicine for Switzerland’s compulsory health insurance scheme from 2017.
The therapies had been rejected by the country’s health authorities for a lack of scientific proof of their efficacy in 2005, but a groundswell of support for them from the majority of the Swiss population caused a change of heart, and so they were included in the health insurance scheme until 2017 under a probationary arrangement.
However, they were all required to prove their “efficacy, cost-effectiveness and suitability” by then in order to remain in the scheme. But the Swiss authorities announced last week that it was “impossible to provide such proof for these disciplines in their entirety”, and so would grant them equal status going forward.
The government has started a consultation period until June 30 when its revised position can be discussed.

Could France end the TTIP?
France has threatened to end negotiations on the dreaded EU-US free trade deal, theTransatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). French Trade Minister Matthias Fekl has said“If there’s no reciprocity, if there is no transparency, if there’s a danger to farmers, if we don’t have access to public markets while the U.S. has access to everything we do here, then I won’t accept it.”
Error in mandatory Californian vaccination laws
Tetyana Obukhanych, a PhD Immunologist, has written an open letter to legislators highlighting the errors in logic leading to the SB27 mandatory vaccination rule of law in California. She sheds light on the various misconceptions supporting the law, stating that, “Non-vaccinated individuals pose no greater risk of transmission of polio, diphtheria, pertussis – vaccination is not risk-free – outbreaks of measles cannot be entirely prevented”. She supports freedom of choice where vaccinations are concerned, and urges legislators to, “formulate a fair and balanced understanding that is supported by accepted vaccine theory and new scientific findings”. ANH-Intl has long campaigned to respect, promote and protect the freedom ofinformed vaccination consent in Europe and other parts of the world. Currently the European Forum for Vaccine Vigilance (EFVV) is petitioning the European Parliament to uphold the Charter of Fundamental Rights, which clearly states that, “Free and informed consent must be respected in the fields of medicine and biology”.

POST 264 A ADDENDUM POST

URGENT IT MAY TRY TO SPREAD WORLDWIDE BECAUSE IT INVOLVES LARGE CORPORATIONS. Thanks dear readers.
PLEASE SPREAD THE MESSAGE

Damning government report on TTIP


Fresh off the press today is the government’s business report on the EU-US trade deal, TTIP, and its potential impacts on the UK. It finds that TTIP will have little economic and political benefit, even going as far as to say that it will pose ‘meaningful costs’ to the UK. These damning conclusions come with no surprise, and reveal that TTIP is ‘likely to provide the UK with few or no benefits’.

Here are the key findings;

(1) There is little reason to think that an EU-US investment chapter will provide the UK with significant economic benefits. No two countries in the world exchange more investment than the UK and the US, and there is no evidence that US or UK investors view either country as suffering from the kinds of political risks against which investment treaties are supposed to protect. Moreover, existing evidence suggests that the presence of an EU-US investment chapter is highly unlikely to encourage investment above and beyond what would otherwise take place. US investors have generally not taken much notice of investment treaties in the past when deciding where, and how much, to invest abroad – even when dealing with far more questionable jurisdictions than the UK.

(2) There is little reason to think that an EU-US investment chapter will provide the UK with significant political benefits. The political relationship between Washington and Whitehall is exceptionally strong, and we are aware of no evidence that it is vulnerable to a meaningful risk of investor-state disputes that would become undesirably “politicized” in the absence of an investment treaty. Secondly, we find it unlikely that an EU-US agreement would make significant negotiating partners – like India and China – more or less willing to agree to an investment treaty with the EU. Finally, it is unclear whether the US is particularly keen on an investment protection chapter with the EU, which means the Commission may not be able to use such a chapter as an effective ‘bargaining chip’ in other trade and/or investment negotiations with Washington. However, these are all issues that BIS might wish to explore in further detail.

(3) There is some reason to expect an EU-US investment chapter will impose meaningful economic costs on the UK. Based on Canada’s experience under NAFTA, we would expect an EU-US investment chapter to be regularly invoked by US investors against the UK for governmental actions that would normally not be challengeable under UK law. While we would not expect the UK to lose many of these cases on the merits, the UK will necessarily incur costs to defend itself. Legal costs in investment treaty claims are substantial. The UK government may also find itself subject to pressure to settle some claims, even when there are reasonable prospects of successfully defending the claim on the merits. Finally, given the uncertain meaning of key elements of international investment law, it is possible that the UK would occasionally lose some arbitrations on the merits and be liable for significant damage awards.

(4) There is some reason to expect an EU-US investment chapter to impose meaningful political costs on the UK. Under investment treaties similar to a likely EU-US investment chapter, US investors have brought claims that raise potentially controversial questions. Should US investors bring similar claims against the UK, this will increase the chances that a particular dispute could provoke a backlash against the EU-US economic agreement as a whole or, perhaps more broadly, investor-state arbitration as a governing institution.

POST 264 SOIL AND SOUL

Hello dear readers. I do so love Mother Earth and although I cannot walk as well these days I still have a beautiful long garden belonging to our flats.  The aroma of the Earth and grass after rain, the bird song, the insects, the odd butterfly, the migrating geese, the trees that speak to me about the change of the seasons, the few bees that buzz in the spring and summer, the stark beauty of winter and the aliveness of Nature and her spirit reminding me of that beautiful, honourable, noble, kind mind that created it.  I am so grateful for my life and its simplicity.

Do You Shower Too Much.  4 mins.  For many years my teachers and Homoeopath gave the same advice as in the video. When I was playing soccer we went to play in Sweden, the lads there were horrified at us using antiperspirants under the arms, I never did by the way, I used natural soaps and aroma therapy oils on my clothes, the Swedish guys told us it stopped the toxins coming out from the skin. Exactly what my teachers told me. A dear friend of mine told me she follows the advice above and at nearly 90 has amazing skin and hair and she says' everyday and night just wash gently with natural soap your cracks and crevices'. .She smells beautiful also a light diet of veggies, little meat if at all, exercise and meditation, salads and water, with lots of herb teas.  Many of my friends in their later years look great on it.  I may say better than I through late shift work, canteen food, injuries, stress and trauma have taken their toll, still they say I do not look too bad considering---maybe they are being kind.

A Phoenix Aurora over Iceland 
Image Credit & Copyright: Hallgrimur P. HelgasonRollover Annotation: Judy Schmidt
Explanation: All of the other aurora watchers had gone home. By 3:30 am in Iceland, on a quiet night last September, much of that night's auroras had died down. Suddenly though, a new burst of particles streamed down from space, lighting up the Earth's atmosphere once again. This time, unexpectedly, pareidoliacally, they created an amazing shape reminiscent of a giant phoenix. With camera equipment at the ready, two quick sky images were taken, followed immediately by a third of the land. The mountain in the background is Helgafell, while the small foreground river is called Kaldá, both located about 30 kilometers north of Iceland's capital ReykjavikSeasoned skywatchers will note that just above the mountain, toward the left, is the constellation of Orion, while the Pleiades star cluster is also visible just above the frame center. The new aurora lasted only a minute and would be gone forever -- possibly dismissed as an embellished aberration-- were it not captured in the featured, digitally-composed, image mosaic.

Their example video is excellent, set to the 1990s Tom Petty classic with their own incisive lyrics. Incriminating audio clips are laid over the music track from live news broadcasted at the time of the event, never again to be repeated on the Mainstream Media. Graphics describe how the wreckage was removed at breakneck speed and put into the Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island.
There are endless opportunities for creators to call out even more egregious activities associated with this villainy, such as the mind-boggling rapidity at which the megatons of steel that constituted the crime scene were sold to buyers in China.

The cholesterol theory was busted open 50 years ago—but the study was never published in full. Using unpublished data that had gathered dust since 1973, a new team of researchers has discovered that those who lower their cholesterol levels the most also increase their risk of heart disease.

The Minnesota Coronary Experiment study refuted much of the advice on heart health that we’ve been told since the 1960s, and especially about switching from butter to a ‘healthier’ vegetable oil. Overall, there were twice as many deaths among the group that switched from butter to corn oil, the study discovered from data that was never published.
The data gathered dust on shelves, until a team of researchers—helped by the son of one of the original researchers—took a fresh look at the work. The new research team, from the University of North Carolina Health Care centre, completed the work of researchers from the University of Minnesota.
The study, which took place between 1968 and 1973, involved 9,423 participants. Part of the study—which excluded much of the controversial findings—was finally published in 1989.
The same North Carolina team also recovered unpublished data from the Sydney Diet Heart Study several years ago to discover that there were more cases of heart disease and death among those who switched from butter to safflower oil, which contains linoleic acid.(Courtesy WDDTY)

Nelson: 
"Then get me the ship's carpenter without delay, Hardy."
Hardy: 
"He's busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the foredeck Admiral."

"Wheelchair access? I've never heard anything so absurd."
Hardy: 
"Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier-free environment for the differently abled."
Nelson: 
"Differently abled? I've only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn't rise to the rank of admiral by playing the disability card."
Hardy: 
"Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is under-represented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency."
Nelson: 
"Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons."
Hardy: 
"A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won't let the crew up the rigging without hard hats. And they don't want anyone breathing in too much salt - haven't you seen the adverts?"
Nelson: 
"I've never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy."
Hardy: 
"The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral."
Nelson: 
"What? This is mutiny!"
Hardy: 
"It's not that, sir. It's just that they're afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. There are a couple of legal-aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks."
Nelson: 
"Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?"
Hardy: 
"Actually, sir, we're not." 
Nelson: 
"We're not?"
Hardy: 
"No, sir. The French and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn't even be in this stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation."
Nelson: 
"But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil."
Hardy: 
"I wouldn't let the ship's diversity coordinator hear you saying that sir. You'll be up on disciplinary report."
Nelson: 
"You must consider every man an enemy, who speaks ill of your King."
Hardy: 
"Not any more, sir. We must be inclusive in this multicultural age. Now put on your Kevlar vest; it's the rules. It could save your life"
Nelson: 
"Don't tell me - Health and Safety. Whatever happened to rum, sodomy and the lash?"
Hardy: 
As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu! And there's a ban on corporal punishment."
Nelson: 
"What about sodomy?"
Hardy: 
"I believe that is now legal, sir." 
Nelson:

The people of Lancashire are our inspiration for this unusual, illegal protest. In 2014, twenty-or-so mums and grandmas – known as the Lancashire Nanas – set up a protest camp in the same field I’m stood in now. For three weeks they protested peacefully, giving out cakes and tea as they explained the dangers of fracking to people who passed by.

After the Lancashire Nana’s occupation, Cuadrilla got desperate – they took out a legal injunction to block more protestors from trespassing on their fracking site. But if Cuadrilla thinks their injunction will stop us making ourselves heard then they’re wrong.

That’s why today we’re back on the fracking site the Lancashire Nanas occupied. This time we’re using Bake Off– the UK’s best-loved TV show – to help get fracking onto the front pages of newspapers and onto politicians’ lips. You might have friends and family who don’t know much about the dangers of fracking, so please click the link to tune in to our Frack Free Bake Off and help get the message out:

In Lancashire public opposition to fracking is overwhelming, just as it is in so many other parts of the UK. But it looks like David Cameron’s government could still give the industry the go ahead here.

That’s not what I call democracy – and I know that there are so many who agree. That’s why more than 100,000 of us have told the government not to silence communities that vote against fracking. So today it would mean a lot to me if you can spare a minute to spread the word about how we’re pushing back.
