Bizarre string of news reports suggesting that the Pentagon’s experiments with insects between 1950-75 could be responsible for outbreaks of Lyme disease.

Gizmodo: Pentagon ordered to to tell Congress whether it weaponized ticks and released them into the public

Giraldi has written several intriguing articles focusing on the possible intelligence aspect of the Epstein affair, most recently his piece at Unz.com contemplating the possibility that Epstein could have ties to the spy network of a foreign state. Giraldi writes:

“That Epstein was perceived as being intelligence-linked was made clear in Acosta’s comments when being cleared by the Trump transition team. He was asked “Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?” … “Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had ‘been told’ to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. ‘I was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone.’””

It’s intriguing to think of Epstein as a type of covert weapon to be used by intelligence to generate blackmail material against select individuals, providing leverage to use against them later to coerce their cooperation, with the threat of exposure always hanging above the target’s head.

If only every political event could receive coverage on-site from Dore:

English citizen Tommy Robinson has been an outspoken critic of his government’s gag on reporting on trials involving immigrants from the Third World setting up pedophile rings in his own country. Another Noble Lie situation, I’m sure, where authorities hope to contain what would surely be widespread outrage across the country, followed by demands for more restrictive immigration laws.

Now Tommy is set to head to prison for “contempt of court” for broadcasting the offenders on Facebook Live as they leave court. He believes, rightfully so, that his life will be in constant danger from the large Muslim inmate population, so he is set to officially ask the United States for asylum, which he won’t be given, unfortunately.

Restricting speech in the name of “anti-racism” is no way for a free society to behave. But England hasn’t been worthy of that title in decades.

Slate‘s 2017 investigation into the Gardasil safety trials is surprisingly detailed and straightforward. The article, ‘Flaws in the clinical trials for Gardasil made it harder to properly assess safety‘, gave a detailed look at several victims who had developed severe neurological disorders, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, and others, after participating in the trials.  Most of these symptoms were completely ignored, or attributed to “new medical history”, and investigators refused to consider the vaccine as the cause. From the article:

“An eight-month investigation by Slate found the major Gardasil trials were flawed from the outset, however, and that regulators allowed unreliable methods to be used to test the vaccine’s safety. While these flaws do not mean Gardasil caused the rare crippling illnesses reported by the media, they are troubling. Public health officials use trials like these both to determine safety and, as evidenced by Merck’s statement above, to reassure the public when concerns like the ones about Gardasil arise. A flawed study design can complicate both tasks…”

“…Interviews with five study participants and more than 2,300 pages of documents obtained through freedom-of-information requests from hospitals and health authorities suggest inadequacies built into Merck’s major clinical tests of Gardasil. To track the safety of its product, the drugmaker used a convoluted method that made objective evaluation and reporting of potential side effects impossible during all but a few weeks of its yearslong trials. At all other times, individual trial investigators used their personal judgment to decide whether or not to report any medical problem as an adverse event—essentially, as a potential side effect worth evaluating further. Other health issues went on a worksheet for “new medical history,” reserved for conditions that bore no relation to the vaccine. This study design put the cart before the horse, asking investigators to decide which symptoms might be side effects, rather than tracking everything in the same way. While the company now says otherwise, there is no indication in the confidential study protocol that it submitted to regulators for approval that it would use new medical history as a safety metric. And it hardly would have qualified as such: The worksheet allotted just one line per entry, with no measurement of symptom severity, duration, outcome, or overall seriousness. Even if the company then used the data in subsequent safety assessments, the lack of detail would have hampered meaningful analysis.”

“…In all the trial locations, Merck also chose to restrict the reporting of adverse events—what the study protocol calls the “clinical follow-up for safety”—to just 14 days following each of the three Gardasil injections in the trial. Illness occurring outside these narrow time slots again was relegated to a single line on the medical-history worksheet, whereas for each adverse event, several assessments would need to be carried out and reported. There was an exception: Deaths or serious adverse events brought to the investigator’s attention and felt to be related to the vaccine or a study procedure were to be reported at any time. This design put individual investigators in charge of deciding, for most of the trial’s duration, what would be assessed and reported as a potential side effect.”

One interesting aspect of the article is that Slate also posted a “companion piece” to the article by science editor Susan Matthews, justifying their investigation of the safety of a vaccine. In no other instance would a news outlet feel compelled to justify their investigation into the safety of a drug or consumer product. In this case they did, and the author makes clear that it is due to the fact that the product in question is a vaccine. The author also makes clear that she would still receive the Gardasil even had she known about the negligent safety trials conducted for the vaccine.

The “companion piece” is instructive because it reveals why so many news outlets, regulators, and governments refuse to entertain any criticism of vaccines, or report the reality of vaccine injury. It’s the Noble Lie, a deliberate falsity maintained by the elite for an ostensibly greater good. The greater good in this instance being a high vaccination rate. Any criticism or report of injury is seen as a threat to high vaccine uptake, and is immediately ignored, suppressed, and ridiculed. This includes self-censoring behavior on the part of the press and regulators, who apparently believe that high vaccination rates trump critical inquiry into the safety of the vaccines themselves.

It should also be pointed out that a lot of money was riding on the success of Gardasil’s clinical trials, so there was plenty of incentive to commit fraud in order to ensure all the investment would produce a comfortable profit.

There are no depths that corporate thugs won’t plumb if it means marginalizing a viewpoint that threatens their power, if the latest deception is to be believed: it appears that NBC was caught digitally adding a fake pimple to Tulsi Gabbard’s face during the debate, which suddenly disappeared during the debate. Here is one of several sources that investigated “pimplegate”.

If the corporate media are actually altering the physical appearance of candidates in real time, then we must expand our view of what lengths the corporate-government interests are willing to go to protect their power.

I can see the reasoning behind it, though: Tulsi is almost too photogenic, too striking amid the hideous throng of Democratic candidates. NBC probably thought that her good looks alone would draw the attention of the viewers away from everyone else on stage, thereby giving more focused attention on her viewpoints.  A tiny digital zit wasn’t affecting public perception of her at all, and NBC probably knew it, and so removed the fake blemish, praying no one would notice. Well, it was noticed, and it merely confirms what we’ve always known: that the corporate media are stenographers to power. They will do anything, say anything, and smear anyone that their benefactors asked them to.

In Tulsi, the Warfare State’s perfect storm has arrived: the voice of the anti-war, the voice of the voiceless is encapsulated in an intelligent, intransigent, young, attractive combat veteran who means to end the American empire. You can’t help but pay attention to her when she speaks, and you can’t help but to adopt her mission as your own.

The sudden, widespread coverage of the HPV vaccine is suspicious, to say the least. Many editorials have emerged over the past few weeks regarding the vaccine, with the likely motive being the June 27th meeting of the Advisory Council on Immunization Practices, and the HPV vaccine needed a good hyping so as to ensure that ACIP members would vote to recommend extending it to more age groups, and to also ensure that the public at large would be sufficiently groomed to accept that decision.

But the editorials trumpeting the HPV vaccine are woefully inadequate; they leave out the extensive criticism, scandals, and widespread injury that have followed it since inception. They really are nothing more than advertisements for Merck and GlaxoSmithKline. The reality is that this vaccine, heralded as a medical miracle, is a false idol, albeit one that is currently enriching those participating in this particular con.

What are some of the inconvenient facts surrounding this miracle vaccine? Here are a few: it hasn’t been proven to prevent cervical cancer, it hasn’t been tested for effects on fertility, it contains borax, it hasn’t been tested for whether it actually causes cancer, and the initial clinical trial has been mired in deception and deceit from the outset. Each of these is worthy of its own separate post, which I will write over the next several days, but it is important to first understand the scope of the deception and danger surrounding this vaccine.

The book, HPV Vaccine on Trial, documents much of this deception. Chapter 2 follows the stories of two young Danish women who participated in the clinical trials, Kesia Lyng and Sesilje. They were told, like all the other participants, that the vaccine had already been safety tested and proven to be safe, yet that was a lie. They were also told that they would be given a series of three injections of either the vaccine or a placebo, and wouldn’t discover which until several years later. But the choice wasn’t between the vaccine and a true saline placebo like they’d been led to believe. The “placebo” was the same aluminum adjuvant also contained in the vaccine. How could they give truly informed consent to the trial if that fact was concealed? Both Kesia and Sesilje experienced the same debilitating, chronic conditions, yet Sesilje discovered she had received the “placebo”, while Kesia had received the vaccine. And both girls’ symptoms were disregarded by the trial staff, refusing to indulge the possibility that their symptoms could be attributable to the injections.

It should be pointed out that Merck, the manufacturer of the HPV vaccine Gardasil, is currently embroiled in a lawsuit brought by the family of 24-year old Jennifer Robi, who was left crippled by the vaccine. The plaintiff alleges that Merck committed fraud during the clinical trials, with one major point being the fact that the “placebo” group received an injection containing twice the amount of aluminum adjuvant as the actual vaccine.

The corporate advertisements, disguised as journalism, are counting on you, the reader, to not look into the subject more closely. They’re hoping the very word “vaccine” will trigger that automatic reverence, thereby gaining a kind of counterfeit prestige among healthcare providers, which will trickle down to the public. It is a tragedy that the culture at large has developed such a blind faith in vaccines in general that bad vaccines like the HPV can slip by long enough for millions to receive it before the truth comes out. Is science truly in the miracle business? Cancer is an emotional subject for many people, and emotions can be easily and effectively manipulated. The benefactors of the HPV vaccine know this.

Justin Raimondo’s articles immediately following the attacks on 9/11 are astounding to read in hindsight. He predicted the loss of liberty, the succession of bloody wars instigated by the United States. I imagine a rather thick book is currently being compiled of Justin’s articles spanning the past two decades, because his work stands as the premier history of the War on Terror madness. I’ll post just two of his pieces here, the first written on 9/11/01, and the second the day after.

9/11: TERROR

9/12: Imperial Paralysis:”The sheer fragility of the American Imperium is what is painfully apparent here. Painful most especially to the US government, whose complete inability to defend the country while claiming the mantle of the world’s only superpower is exposed for all to see. It is the weakness of an entity that has grown too big, too overextended, too blinkered by pride (some would call it hubris) to see the pitfalls of the policies it has pursued, not only in the Middle East but around the world, from the Balkans to the Far East. Our foreign policy of global military and political intervention in the internal affairs of other nations, from Bosnia to Belarus, has produced what policy analyst Chalmers Johnson has referred to as “blowback.” In his book of that title, as if in anticipation of the perplexed “Why?” of the average Americans’reaction to this carnage, Johnson wrote:

“Only when we come to see our country as both profiting from and trapped within the structures of an empire of its own making will it be possible for us to explain a great many elements of the world that otherwise perplex us.””

Very few cool heads prevailed among the general public in those days. The greater portion of the US populace transformed into a rabid lynch mob, impatient for the retaliatory bloodshed. These people, virtually all of them, knew nothing of history, or of their own government’s actions in the Middle East that could’ve inflamed such hatred in someone that they would attack us, and they didn’t care. The vast majority delighted in the bliss of their ignorance, and called for mass murder of entire nations as if it were the most reasonable response imaginable. Our government caught wind of this national sentiment and exploited it, launching wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. And the ignorant masses cheered on the destruction, not only of those nations, but of their own liberties as well. Bush/Cheney supporters positively reveled in the vast powers bestowed upon the Executive, laughing at the defenders of civil liberties as cowards, as people who didn’t have the stomach for such Imperial acts. Well, who’s laughing now? No one, that’s who. The consequences of such a heedless policy has created problems far worse than what we began with. We Americans have blindly supported legislation, war, and debt, the consequences of which utterly dwarf anything that “terrorists” could inflict upon us. Wasn’t that what Osama Bin Laden had said was his goal all along? To scare us so badly that we relinquish our liberty and launch endless war, bankrupting us in the process? The threat of terrorism has increased, yes, but the threat of our own government to our own well-being and liberty has increased by orders of magnitude. Justin saw all of this, and warned us, but few listened.

You’ll have to click through the link to watch the documentary, but it is worth it. The Danish girls that were injured following the HPV vaccination were subjected to all sorts of lies and accusations: faking their injuries, seeking attention, attempting to derail a life-saving medical breakthrough, etc. So it is amazing that their story was finally told in this documentary. It’s one that you won’t find on YouTube, however, and it is probably best to watch it now before Vimeo falls to the censorship madness:
