Android smartphone software tracks every user action and keystroke, analysis finds

December 8, 2011 by  
Filed under Organic Foods

(NaturalNews) Smartphone devices are convenient, handy tools for staying in touch with friends and family, getting directions on the go, and accessing a variety of helpful user applications from virtually anywhere. But a recent analysis of smartphones loaded with Google’s Android software platform reveals that the technology can also track every movement, action, and keystroke of users, which represents a serious breach of privacy. The UK’s Telegraph reports that preloaded Android software known as “Carrier IQ” secretly monitors and records the websites Android users access from their mobile phones, as well as the text messages they send and receive and even the individual keystrokes they make. The technology also logs a history of where users are located geographically while performing these tasks. Carrier IQ claims that its software only tracks this information for the benefit of its users and their smartphone experience, and does not sell the information to third parties. But Trevor Eckhart, a developer of Android “app” software and a security researcher, conducted a test on his own personal Android phone and found that the software keeps an active record of every keystroke made, every text message sent, and where users conduct such activity — and it sends all this information directly to Carrier IQ. Eckhart recently posted a video to YouTube that explains how the data collection process works, and how it is quietly transmitted back to Carrier IQ without user knowledge. You can view that video here: http://www.youtube.com/user/TrevorEckhart On the one hand, the collection of such information makes sense as it allows network providers and application developers to better understand how mobile phone users use their phones, which can then be used to improve the overall user experience. On the other hand, private information could end up in the hands of government officials and others who may want to spy on citizens and track their private activity. “I have no problem with improving service. I hate dropped calls too,” says Tim Armstrong, a researcher at Kaspersky Lab, an antivirus software developer, concerning the issue. “What I do have a problem with is service providers who are intentionally uninformative about what they are doing with your data on a device you’ve paid for, and then not allowing any type of removal or opt-out.” A recent Fox News report explains that several class-action lawsuits have been filed in California, Delaware, and elsewhere against Carrier IQ over its data collection practices.

Every single tweet being turned over to U.S. government

December 8, 2011 by  
Filed under Organic Foods

(NaturalNews) They say there are billions of them, with more than 50 million added per day. But whatever the actual number, every single tweet ever sent since the beginning of Twitter-time is set to be turned over to Uncle Sam. According to Federal News Radio earlier this week, Twitter has struck a deal (deal?) with the Library of Congress to archive every single tweet. Rather than treat them as free, protected speech, the billions of Tweets are being treated as historical documents and will archived as such, the report said. “We have an agreement with Twitter where they have a bunch of servers with their historic archive of tweets, everything that was sent out and declared to be public,” Bill Lefurgy, the digital initiatives program manager at the library’s national digital information infrastructure and preservation program, said on Federal News Radio. “We were excited to be involved with acquiring the Twitter archives because it’s a unique record of our time,” he added. “It’s also a unique way of communication. It’s not so much that people are going to be interested in what you or I had for lunch, which some people like to say on Twitter.” Which begs the question: What, then, is the government “interested” in? According to the report, the tweets will be made available to researchers who “could then data-mine for interesting information.” “There have been studies involved with what are the moods of the public at various times of the day in reaction to certain kinds of news events,” said Lefurgy. “There’s all these interesting kinds of mixing and matching that can be done using the tweets as a big set of data.” The agreement, it turns out, has been in the works since last year. Reportedly, no Tweets that users have “protected” will be included in the data dump, but let’s ask the obvious question here: How many of us actually believe that private tweets aren’t somehow going to show up in this LOC tweet repository – for some researcher to “data-mine?” So, the lesson here is this: If you think your tweets are just going to vanish into the unknown after you send them, think again. And be careful what you tweet; some “researcher” may just “data-mine” it some day, to your dismay. In the electronic age, privacy is increasingly becoming a quaint concept of the past.

TSA refuses to fulfill promise to conduct independent safety investigation of naked body scanners

November 19, 2011 by  
Filed under Organic Foods

(NaturalNews) Not even a month after promising to conduct a legitimate, independent study on the safety of the illegal naked body scanners used in airports across the US, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Administrator John Pistole is now saying that such a measure is unnecessary, and that it may not happen after all. ProPublica reports that, despite myriad evidence that the privacy-invading machines can emit high levels of deadly ionizing radiation, Pistole has presented more rehashed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data as “evidence” that the machines are safe — and he is actually purporting that this biased data is sufficient to verify the machines’ safety. “My strong belief is those types of machines are still completely safe,” said Pistole at a recent hearing of the US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. “If the determination is that this IG (inspector general) study is not sufficient, then I will look at still yet another additional study.” Unfortunately for Pistole and his cronies at DHS and TSA, having a “strong belief” about something does not make it true. And Pistole’s repeated avoidance of allowing a real investigation into the safety of naked body scanners clearly shows that he and his corrupt agency have something to hide from the public. Pistole’s use of the words “still yet another additional study” basically insinuates that existing studies have already verified the safety of backscatter naked body scanners — but they definitely have not. In fact, the supposed “safety data” that the TSA has been relying on to assert the safety of the machines was exposed as fraudulent earlier this year (http://www.naturalnews.com/032425_airport_scanners_radiation.html). Not only was the data flawed, but the study was conducted in secret by unnamed scientists, and by the company that makes the machines, Rapiscan Systems. The safety tests also did not even involve the actual machines used at airports — they involved phony “mock-up” machines made of random spare parts at the company’s manufacturing unit. That Pistole would even suggest that existing “safety” studies conducted in this manner are legitimate is an insult to the intelligence of every American. And yet millions of Americans continue to comply with TSA’s unconstitutional use of these deadly machines, and willfully subject their bodies to blasts of carcinogenic ionizing radiation every day.

Study: Exposure to common air fresheners can cause allergies, asthma

November 17, 2011 by  
Filed under Organic Foods

(NaturalNews) Millions of Americans use scented candles, air freshener sprays, plug-in deodorizers and diffusers to make their living spaces smell clean and pleasant, but are the chemicals in these products safe? New research compiled by scientists from Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., and the Atlanta Allergy and Asthma Clinic suggests that various chemical additives in air fresheners can trigger allergies, asthma and other health problems. “The chemicals in some of these products can trigger the nasal congestion, sneezing and the runny nose,” said Dr. Stanley Fineman, an allergist from Emory who helped gather data for the study. “With the asthmatics, there’s really good data showing their lung function changes when they’re exposed to these compounds.” Many scented air freshener products contain harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like formaldehyde, petroleum distillates, benzene and limonene, which are known to trigger asthma and other respiratory symptoms, as well as eye irritation, bone damage and leukemia. They also contain various other toxic ingredients like benzyl alcohol, camphor, dichlorobenzene, ethanol, naphthalene, phenol and pinene (http://mcs-america.org/airfresh.pdf). Even some scented products labeled “natural” contain harmful ingredients like phthalates that can build up in the liver and fatty tissue over time. Phthalate exposure is linked to low sperm counts and reproductive damage (http://www.naturalhomeandgarden.com/health/home-aroma-healthy-all-natural-air-fresheners.aspx). This is why it is always a good idea, even with “natural” products, to verify all ingredients with product manufacturers prior to purchasing them. In 2007, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) tested 14 different brands of popular household air freshener products and found that most of them, even those labeled “all natural” or “unscented,” contained dangerous chemicals linked to hormone disruption and reproductive problems (http://www.nrdc.org/media/2007/070919.asp). The worst offender in the test was Walgreens Scented Bouquet Air Freshener, which contained 7,300 parts per million (ppm) of di-ethyl phthalate (DEP), a chemical linked to damaging hormones and impairing genital development, followed by Walgreens Air Freshener Spray with 1,100 ppm of DEP. You can read the full NRDC report here: http://www.nrdc.org/health/home/airfresheners/fairfresheners.pdf “Consumers have a right to know what is put into air fresheners and other everyday products they bring into their homes,” said Dr. Gina Solomon back in 2007. “There are too many products on the shelves that we assume are safe, but have never even been tested. The government should be keeping a watchful eye on these household items and the manufacturers who produce them.” Sources for this article include: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45181988/ns/health-allergies_and_asthma/

Exposed: CDC deliberately manipulated, covered up scientific data showing link between vaccines containing mercury and autism

November 2, 2011 by  
Filed under Organic Foods

(NaturalNews) Deniers of the link between mercury-laden vaccines and autism are going to have a hard time denying the latest findings by the Coalition for Mercury-Free Drugs (CoMeD). The nonprofit group has obtained critical documents via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that exposes the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) role in deliberately lying about and manipulating a key Danish study that showed a clear link between vaccines containing mercury and autism. In 2003, the journal Pediatrics published a study conducted in Denmark that observed a significant decline in autism rates following the country’s elimination of Thimerosal, a mercury-based component, from vaccines. But thanks to the CDC’s corrupting influence, the published version of the study in Pediatrics actually claimed the opposite, and alleged that removal of Thimerosal brought about an increase in autism rates. According to the documents, CDC officials removed large amounts of data from the study that showed a decline in autism rates following the removal of Thimerosal. The agency then twisted the remaining data to imply an increase in autism rates following the removal of Thimerosal, and suggested that there was no link between Thimerosal and autism. Upon submission of the CDC’s tainted version of the study to Pediatrics , the study’s authors contacted CDC officials to let them know that the agency had incorrectly interpreted the data. They tried to tell the CDC that its figures and conclusions were wrong, and that corrections needed to be made. The CDC allegedly responded by saying that it would take a look at the incorrect data, but proceeded to submit the corrupted version of the study to Pediatrics anyway. After encouraging the editors of Pediatrics to perform an expedited review of the corrupted study, the CDC ended up convincing the journal to publish the fraudulent study, which it did in 2003. Now that this critical information has been officially released for the world to see, CoMeD is pressing the CDC to conduct a full criminal investigation into the matter, and make a formal declaration about whether or not scientific fraud was involved. CoMeD is also calling for a full, immediate retraction of the corrupted study from Pediatrics . “This should not be tolerated by those who are entrusted with our children’s health and well-being,” says Lisa Sykes, President of CoMeD.

Soda consumption linked to teen violence, study finds

October 26, 2011 by  
Filed under Organic Foods

(NaturalNews) A new study has found that teenagers who consume high amounts of sugary soda appear to be more prone towards violence than teenagers who consume less or no sugary soda. The more soda a teenager consumes, in other words, the more likely he or she is to show violent aggression towards classmates, a significant other, and even family members. David Hemenway, a professor at Harvard University’s School of Public, and his colleagues instructed a group of 1,878 public school students from inner-city Boston to fill out questionnaires about how much soda they had consumed in the previous seven days. The questionnaires also asked the students how often they carried weapons, consumed alcohol, smoked, and had a violent interaction with another person. The students, who ranged in age between 14 and 18, also answered other background questions about how often they ate meals with their families, and their race. After compiling the data and accounting for other outside factors, the research team discovered that soda intake was directly proportional to violence levels. “What we found was that there was a strong relationship between how many soft drinks that these inner-city kids consumed and how violent they were, not only in violence against peers but also violence in dating relationships, against siblings,” said Hemenway. “It was shocking to us when we saw how clear the relationship was.” The results showed that students who drank one or no cans of sugary soda a week were nearly half as likely as students who drank 14 cans a week to carry a gun or knife to school. The one or no soda group was also about half as likely to commit violence against a partner, or show violent aggression against peers, compared to the high-consumption group. “We don’t know why (there is a strong association),” added Hemenway. “There may be some causal effect but it’s also certainly plausible that this is just a marker for other problems — that kids who are violent for whatever reason, they tend to smoke more, they tend to drink more alcohol and they tend to maybe drink more soft drinks. We just don’t know.” Sources for this article include: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.a78af65cc128f522f558eaa64f38258c.3d1&show_article=1

Vitamins are deadly? Media hoax exposed, part two

October 17, 2011 by  
Filed under Minerals, Organic Foods, Supplements

(NaturalNews) Yesterday, we published a groundbreaking article exposing the total media hoax that has been running in the mainstream media over the past week or so. The hoax involved a fraudulent study using altered data which claimed to show that “vitamins are deadly!” But the actual data from the study didn’t reach that conclusion at all, and the mainstream media reporting on this was little more than a collection of outright lies and willfully engineered disinformation . Read that report here: http://www.naturalnews.com/033883_vitamins_mortality_risk.html Today we continue with part two of exposing this malicious media hoax, which was designed (of course) to scare people away from taking vitamins while at the same time feeding them propaganda stories that encourage everyone to get their vaccine shots, eat their GMOs, and take their chemotherapy. According to the mainstream media, you see, poisons are good for you, but nutrition is deadly. Minerals, they claim, might kill you. But being injected with a vaccine using aluminum adjuvants and mercury preservatives is actually GOOD for you, they insist! Here’s the real truth: Vitamins won’t kill you, but pharmaceutical definitely do Of course, the biggest hoax in all this is that there has never been a single confirmed case of a vitamin killing anyone, and yet FDA-approved pharmaceuticals kill at least 100,000 Americans every year! (http://www.naturalnews.com/019406_business_ethics_big_pharma.html) Does the mainstream media report on all the dead Americans killed by deadly medications? Of course not. Never mind that the number of Americans killed by medications dwarfs the total body count from all acts of alleged terrorism in the history of our nation (http://www.naturalnews.com/009278.html). Never mind that twice as many Americans die each year from FDA-approved pharmaceuticals as died in the entire Vietnam War. Never mind that even the FDA’s own top scientist — Dr. David Graham — blew the whistle on the total corruption of science within the FDA, revealing how just one drug (Vioxx) was proven to cause over 60,000 heart attacks , many of which killed people. (http://www.naturalnews.com/011401.html) Does the mainstream media report on the hundreds of Americans who die every day in America from pharmaceuticals? Not a chance. Instead, they try to focus people on the false idea that “vitamins will kill you,” even though there isn’t a shred of reliable evidence to support the idea that a single death has ever been caused by a vitamin (even a synthetic vitamin). The media hoax, you see, is found not only in the lies they tell you , but also in the truths they refuse to tell you . This whole story about vitamins being dangerous is a sleight-of-press distraction to take your focus away from the things that are really killing people (vaccines, medications, chemotherapy) and try to make you focus on the things that aren’t (vitamins and dietary supplements). It’s classic CIA-style social engineering, brought to you by the mainstream media which has become “the least trusted news source on the planet.” Research scientists just invent whatever data they want, and it routinely gets published in “scientific” medical journals There’s something rather hilarious and pathetic about the drug-pushing, vaccine-pimping “scientists” that dominate (quack) medicine today: They don’t care how sloppy or fraudulent the science really is as long as it’s in their favor . Heck, when they don’t get the data they want from conducting real science, they just invent whatever data they want! This is what Dr. Scott Reuben did — a key researcher for Pfizer and Merck. He literally just dreamed up whatever data he wanted and authored over twenty studies which were published in mainstream medical journals — even though they were all complete fraud! (http://www.naturalnews.com/028194_Scott_Reuben_research_fraud.html) These were then cited by literally thousands of other research papers , many of which were also fraudulent themselves. This is how Big Pharma’s medical system works: One round of fraudulent studies cites another round of fraudulent studies until they’ve built up something that appears to be a well-referenced body of research but which is actually based entirely on fabricated junk science. Ah, but who cares? Who cares that the research is complete fraud? As long as the media can scare people away from vitamins, that’s what really counts, you see. They don’t care that it’s all a complete hoax because they know that 99% of their readers will never check the facts for themselves . Most people will just swallow whatever media lies are shoved at them, without even a hint of skepticism. Facts are stubborn things After all, who cares about facts anymore? Facts are inconvenient when you’re trying to convince the world population to stay sick and diseased all the time so you can sell ‘em more of your patented, monopoly-priced prescription poisons. They can’t just come right out and tell the truth, you see — that would destroy the pharmaceutical industry. Instead, they have to fabricate a whole system of lies which are then backed up by the criminal, repugnant FDA and then parroted in the mindless mainstream media. Here’s another inconvenient fact that nobody in the mainstream whore media bothered to tell you: FACT: The sample size of the women taking copper in this study was a grand total of: 24 people by the end of the study. Twenty-four people? Yeah, that’s reported in table 4 on page six of the study: There were 30 women taking copper in 1986 when the study began. This increased to 57 women in 1997, then decreased to 24 women in 2004 – 2008, when the study ended. So from 24 women, and through the voodoo manipulation of the data, this study concludes that copper has a 50% increase in mortality. Wow, that’s some pretty stunning science fraud. Sort of idiotic, actually. It would earn you an “F” in high school science class if you tried to pull this off. Yet the mainstream media reports this as if it were rock-solid science. In doing so, all they do is just embarrass themselves and show what science morons their own reporters still are. Most of these newspapers and newsstand magazines you see claiming to cover the news should actually be filed in the “fiction” category at booksellers. The complete scientific ignorance of mainstream journalists Sometimes I wonder what it takes to be a corporate-controlled journalist these days. First, it requires that you be a complete moron on topics such as biochemistry, food, agriculture, nutrition, basic science, the environment, economics, the money supply and of course world history . It’s almost as if mainstream media journalists are comprised of people who have been voluntarily lobotomized so that they now “qualify” to write for the dumbed-down media. More importantly, being a mainstream media “whore” journalist requires that you get really, really comfortable telling lies for your corporate masters. Whatever you’re told to write, you just write it, even if you know it’s a total lie. And if you’re directed to destroy somebody in an interview — like Anderson Cooper tried to do with Dr. Wakefield — you just do it on command like a good little Nazi soldier. That’s why, with very few exceptions, the Anderson Coopers, the Bill O’Reillys, and the AP and Reuters reporters that dominate the old dinosaur media today are really just social engineers who are being used as pawns in a system of total corporate disinformation designed to keep you sick, diseased and enslaved to a medical monopoly which actually goes out of its way to destroy nutritional knowledge and therefore promote nutritional illiteracy . There’s no other word for it: Mainstream media journalists are nutritionally illiterate . So are nearly all mainstream doctors. So are most conventional scientists. So are most people! The nutritional knowledge which could have been used to prevent probably 80% of all chronic, degenerative disease in America has been censored, suppressed, shuttered or destroyed by the medical establishment working in cahoots with the FDA and the mainstream media. They have actually gone out of their way to make sure everybody “stays stupid” when it comes to vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. Your vaccine IS your multivitamin, yo! The whole point of this is to keep people enslaved in a system of medical domination where they think of “nutrients” as being things they are found in prescription medications. Some people think blood-thinning drugs are “nutrients,” and they pop their medications as if they were candy, sometimes taking a dozen or more dangerous prescription medications every single day. This is what the conventional medical industry wants you to think of as “nutrition.” Vaccines are nutrition, too, didn’t you know? You are incomplete without them! If you want to be whole, you must allow yourself to be repeatedly injected with all kinds of vaccines. At least that’s what the medical establishment wants you to believe. It’s all, of course, a complete pack of lies. Nutrition doesn’t come from your doctor. Your doctor is most likely a complete and total moron when it comes to nutrition. That’s why he’s more likely to die before you do, because when he gets sick, he won’t take vitamin D and eat natural sources of vitamin C and zinc to boost immune function. No, he’s more likely to swallow his own antibiotics, then develop a superbug infection in his lungs or gut, and then die from pneumonia or cancer while being pumped full of poisons by his own colleagues who have also been totally brainwashed into thinking prescription drugs are nutrients. Dead doctors don’t lie. And they’re dying in record numbers these days because they keep taking their own deadly medicines while avoiding anything that smacks of “holistic” nutrition or the healing arts. NaturalNews readers get all that. They really get it. That’s why they drink superfood smoothies, take natural dietary supplements and don’t watch mainstream television news on the idiot box. And that’s why NaturalNews readers will outlive all the dumbed-down consumers of mainstream television — people who, like a character from the movie Idiocracy, say “Vitamins will kill me? OW my balls!” (http://www.naturalnews.com/021558_Idiocracy_Hollywood.html) Vitamins will kill you, but vaccines are good nutrition! As you ponder all this, keep in mind that the mainstream media is the same wretched group of retreads who tell you that vaccines are good for you! Oh yeah, here’s the scoop: Vitamins just might kill you, so don’t take those. But vaccines could save your life! So get injected with those as much as possible! (Seriously…) And GMOs are good for you too, uh-huh. And chemotherapy is good, too. You should get both your breasts cut off even if you don’t have breast cancer, the LA Times reported (http://www.naturalnews.com/011116_breast_cancer_double_mastectomy.html). That’s how you “prevent” breast cancer, apparently. Perhaps all these journalists should take their own advice and prevent brain cancer by cutting off their own heads? It would not materially affect the quality of their reporting, it seems. Even a machine can hit copy and paste on a pharma-funded press release. Who needs humans to do it if there’s no thinking involved? The mainstream media thinks all their readers are stupid It’s true: The MSM thinks their readers are stupid. And to some extent, they are correct because most of the intelligent people in the world have stopped reading or watching the mainstream media as a source of information. They’ve realized they are constantly being lied to by media institutions which are, themselves, funded in large part by pharmaceutical advertising and the financial interests of the corporate global elite. Did you ever wonder why the media’s coverage of Fukushima was such a downplay of the actual events that took place there? One reason is because General Electric built the Fukushima nuclear power plants while also owning key mainstream media disinfo outlets such as NBC, CNBC and MSNBC (http://la.indymedia.org/news/2003/04/47530.php). Do you really think these media giants which receive hundreds of millions of dollars a year in advertising revenue from drug companies will ever tell the truth about how nutrition can eliminate your need for pharmaceuticals? Of course not! How the drug companies bought off the media Look at this chart of the rise in direct-to-consumer drug advertising expenditures: http://www.openmedicine.ca/article/view/23/26 The Congressional Budget Office has even done research on the astonishing financial ties between the drug companies and the mainstream media. Here’s what they concluded (http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/105xx/doc10522/12-02-DrugPromo_Brief.pdf) “Pharmaceutical manufacturers spent at least $20.5 billion on promotional activities in 2008.3 Detailing to physicians, nurse practitioners, and physicians’ assistants cost $12 billion, accounting for more than half of that promotional spending (see Figure 1). Drug companies spent another $3.4 billion sponsoring professional meetings and events and about $0.4 billion placing advertisements in professional journals. Pharmaceutical manufacturers spent the rest of their promotional budgets, $4.7 billion in 2008, on direct-to-consumer advertising. To place those figures in context, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) estimated that, among its members, domestic sales of pharmaceuticals and medicines totaled $189 billion in 2008 and domestic spending on research and development totaled $38 billion.” Did you catch that? $4.7 billion in advertising through the mainstream media … and that was in 2008 (it’s much larger now). This also reveals that drug companies spent $12 billion bribing doctors , $3.4 billion running doctor “education camps” that promote more drugs, and $400 million corrupting medical journals. So we’re supposed to believe that none of this money has any influence on the Archives of Internal Medicine nor the mainstream media outlets which ran this media hoax that “vitamin will kill you?” Seriously? The media fails to disclose its own financial ties to drug interests How could any mainstream media journalist miss all this? Have they forgotten how to read? Or even how to think? Reporting on this vitamin study while failing to mention all the financial ties between the drug industry and the mainstream media itself is sort of like reporting on the Titanic’s maiden voyage across the Atlantic but failing to mention it sank . The media cover-up IS the story here! The financial corruption of the medical journals IS the story! The hoaxing of the population with a completely fabricated story based on quack science is actually one of the biggest stories of the year. And yet, obviously no one in the mainstream media will report a story based on an investigation of the total financial corruption of the mainstream media itself. That’s why people read alternative news sources like NaturalNews. Because they know we haven’t been bought off by some big corporate interests. You will never see Pfizer being a sponsor of NaturalNews, for example. Nor some GMO company or anyone else pushing poison. (If you do see a Google ad on our site from a pharma company, let us know and we’ll ban them. We’ve already banned hundreds…) Plus, we’re not corporate whores, thank goodness. That sounds like a tiring job, just churning out total disinformation for the elite corporate interests during the day, and then going home at night, looking in the mirror and hating your life. But that’s what thousands of mainstream media journalists do every single day: They LIE to their readers to collect a paycheck, and then they go home and wonder why they even bothered to get a degree in journalism in the first place, since virtually nobody in the whore media bothers to practice real journalism anymore. It’s kind of a cushy job, actually: Take press releases from the White House, drug companies or medical journals, rewrite a sentence or two, slap your name on it, and you’ve “written” your story for the day! No research (or thinking) is even necessary. No need to make a single phone call, and there’s no need to check facts since they’ve already been provided to you by the corporate media relations whores who also push lies for a paycheck. “Reporting the news” in the mainstream media is little more than taking corporate globalist press releases and repackaging them as “news” without engaging in any fact checking or independent research whatsoever. It’s an embarrassment to the whole field of journalism, actually. Want real journalism? Get it from alternative news sources Reporting the real news takes far more effort than just copying and pasting press releases or White House propaganda. For starters, we have to think for ourselves . And when we report the news, we don’t use teleprompters and we don’t read scripts . Watch InfoWars Nightly News sometime (www.InfoWarsNews.com) and you’ll notice that none of us are reading from teleprompters. We don’t have scripts. We analyze current events in real time, in a LIVE video studio, with no scripts, no makeup, no special wardrobe and no big corporate sponsors. That’s real journalism, folks. Here’s a video of me hosting it recently (and yeah, I mess up sometimes, because I’m not reading a teleprompter): http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=A8AA1909025FBC8815D447D7C8E41851 Alex Jones, Aaron Dykes and others also host InfoWars Nightly News, where you’ll learn the hard-hitting truth about all kinds of subjects, from health freedom and vaccines to government corruption and the push for war. We don’t have the super slick graphics, the big corporate sponsors, nor the wink and the nod from government “authorities.” Instead, we have independent, intelligent analysis of events that really matter . That’s something you just can’t get anymore from USA Today, TIME, the LA Times, the NY Times or any other mainstream media outlet. They simply can’t afford to report the truth — it would get their ad revenues and put them out of business. Think about that for a second, and realize that every major player in the entire mainstream media only exists because they continue to serve a strategic role in pushing propaganda for powerful corporations or political interests. There is no more “news” in the news. It’s all just a tapestry of lies and half-truths woven from the never-ending stream of disinformation that keeps the drug companies raking in profits from preventable degenerative disease. The mainstream media, ultimately, doesn’t want you to be informed. They want you to be obedient.

Vaccine industry receives government financial bailouts via Vaccine Injury Compensation Program

October 14, 2011 by  
Filed under Organic Foods

(NaturalNews) Ever wonder why vaccine related injuries reported by parents get so little mass media attention? It’s easy to understand when you realize that although a federally decreed reporting system does exist for vaccine injuries, the agency itself simply stores them in a data base that doesn’t influence most medical professionals, vaccine manufacturers, and mainstream media. Understanding VAERS The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) was established as part of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986. VAERS is sponsored by the CDC and FDA, both vaccine friendly government agencies. Another part of the NCVIA is the establishment of a federal “no fault” compensation program for parents of vaccine injured or killed children. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) was set up to award claims to parents through the US Court of Federal Claims. Of course, claimants had to establish a causal connection with their child’s issues from recent vaccinations. The compensations vary from $250,000 for the death of a child, or a life time of medical coverage for a brain damaged child. The awards are federally funded, “bailing out” vaccine manufacturers from financial liability. The fact that over $1 billion has been paid out since 1986 is the government’s secret admission of vaccine dangers. As in most settlements, awarded parents are gagged from talking of their case by the risk of losing their “hush money” covering lifetime medical expenses. Many parents are still programmed to believe their child’s sudden mental or physical health downturn had nothing to do with all those vaccinations they allowed their pediatrician to deliver. And less naive parents don’t even know about VAERS or the compensation program, which are as unwieldy and bureaucratic as government systems can be. It’s estimated that as low as one or two percent with no more than 10% of vaccine adverse reactions are reported. Although doctors are legally obliged to report adverse vaccine reactions to VAERS, most don’t. The FDA admits that probably 90% of doctors simply don’t report adverse vaccine reactions. Yet even with this denial and resistance, up to 20,000 adverse vaccine reactions are reported annually. Keep in mind that VAERS officially states their data base file of adverse reports does not make causal connections to vaccines. Those non-reporting MDs usually dismiss serious reactions as unrelated to vaccines. Or worse yet, they blame the parents and accuse them of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS). Blaming the victims Some parents have been imprisoned for trying to resuscitate their babies or rush them into emergency rooms upon noticing sudden dire symptoms. Usually those babies died. SBS symptoms can resemble adverse vaccine reactions, but convicted parents were never allowed the reasonable doubt that would arise from real vaccine injury knowledge. This rush to judgment reflects widespread denial. In many cases, those infants had just received multiple shots of vaccines pushed by their pediatricians. Are those records considered without bias in the courts where accused parents stand? But local media and press cover these incidents to trump up lurid crime attention, yet they won’t mention vaccinations. That’s taboo. Another rising syndrome masking vaccine injuries is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), or crib death. These infants suddenly die for apparently no cause. Often they had recently been vaccinated. But let’s not look into that. Better to consider SIDS a strangely mysterious epidemic among newborns and get more money for more research. Perhaps October’s vaccine awareness month should focus more on reporting adverse events to reach a tipping point against the resistance of vaccine truth. Otherwise the Medical Mafia will continue jabbing children to oblivion.

The HPV vaccine – what do you really know about it?

(NaturalNews) If you are considering vaccinating your child with an HPV vaccine, what information have you read, and what questions have you asked?What do you KNOW about the human papillomaviruses (HPV) which the medical profession says causes cervical cancer? If you are going to vaccinate your child on the word of the medical profession, and don’t want any further information, then stop right here. But be aware that ignorance is not bliss. And that the medical system has deliberately not told you everything you need to know about either the viruses, or the vaccine. If you want to take responsibility for your own decisions, rather than hand over responsibility to the medical profession, then you might be interested in some of the following questions and answers, which deserve truthful answers that the vaccine industry doesn’t want to give you: Question: Publicity for Gardasil says that girls should have this HPV vaccine before sexual intercourse, because they don’t catch this virus until they are sexually active. Is this correct? No, this is not correct. Over the last 20 years, the medical profession has documented that human papillomaviruses can be transmitted during pregnancy, after pregnancy, from child to child, and adult to child. Question: Why then are we told that these human papillomaviruses can only be contracted after sex? Because adolescents are the market Merck was targeting, and to admit that the viruses can be acquired naturally before sex, doesn’t suit Merck. The medical literature for the last 20 years has also stated that to ignore the fact that HPV viruses can cause silent infection at any age ‘has implications for any vaccination programme,’ though those ‘implications’ have never been spelled out. However, they expect parents to naively believe that intelligent human papillomaviruses know they aren’t allowed to let themselves loose, until the first act of sexual intercourse. And for some reason, most parents believe this sort of nonsense statement. Question: Are these viruses implicated in cervical cancers, and other cancers? Yes they are – but primarily in people, whose innate immune system is struggling because they eat rubbish, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, don’t get enough sleep, and burn the candle at 12 ends. Much more than a virus is required for a woman to get cervical cancer. Question: Doesn’t everyone get human papillomavirus infections? Yes. Not only has ‘everyone’ but just about any species that breathes gets papillomavirus infections – even lizards. The medical literature shows that a good diet, correct mineral and vitamin intake, and living a healthy lifestyle, normally results in the recipient throwing off HP infections easier than a cold, and all they have to show for it, is lifelong natural immunity. Healthy lifestyles don’t fill Big Pharma bank balances, so you won’t be told about that. Question: But I’ve been told this vaccine is so important! Is that wrong This vaccine is very important for Merck’s accountants – vitally important. It’s ‘the’ product that is supposed to dig Merck out of its current financial woes. But is it important for your child? No. The cervical smear programme stopped people dying of cervical cancer long before ‘fear-no-longer’ Gardasil came along. And because the vaccine only covers two types out of at least 20 supposedly carcinogenic HP virus types (amongst at least 300 different strains), people who have cancer phobia will still want to have smears anyway. Today, 90% of all deaths from cervical cancer occur in the third world countries which don’t have such a programme, or the ability to deal with abnormal smears even if they had a smear programme. The primary drivers of cervical cancer in third world countries are chronic malnutrition, and fundamentally atrocious living conditions, which happens to create the most susceptible population with the least resources. Question: So why have I been recommended to inject my child with three Gardasil vaccines? Because if a vaccine is available the medical system tries to scare everyone into using it. After all, it’s much easier to ‘believe’ their assumption that antibodies from Gardasil will still be around 40 years from now. It’s much easier not to have to pay attention to diet, and all the other things which would make sure most people never got cancer in the first place. But the bottom line is that Merck developed Gardasil in the hope that it would be a ‘block-buster’ vaccine which would help pay for all the litigation Merck faces as the result of another Merck drug, called Vioxx, which maimed and killed lots of people, whose families then turned around and sued Merck for millions of dollars. Obviously, Merck isn’t going to make any money from the third world -the countries that really need it, according to Dr Frazer who co-patented the vaccine. So Merck decided to target all the rich countries that do not need Gardasil. By charging wealthy countries lots of money, then maybe someday about forty years from now…, they might get around to providing it to people in the third world, if they are still around. Which is a bit farcical, when in those countries, what the people could really do with, is decent food, clean water, getting rid of nepotistic dictators and warring tribes, being provided with basic healthcare, and the means of growing their own food… but all that’s much too hard. Particularly when Merck’s main aim is making money and staying in business. Question: What is in Gardasil? According to the data sheet, the vaccine supposedly contains ‘no viral DNA 1 ‘ and each 0.5 mL dose of the vaccine contains: 20 mcg of HPV 6 L1 protein 40 mcg of HPV 11 L1 protein 40 mcg of HPV 16 L1 protein 20 mcg of HPV 18 L1 protein 225 mcg aluminum (as amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate adjuvant2) 9.56 mg of sodium chloride 0.78 mg of L-histidine 50 mcg of polysorbate 80 (shown to induce infertility in mice, which is why it’s the main ingredient in depo-provera, and which also makes the brain blood barrier easier to penetrate) 35 mcg of sodium borate water for injection Question: What do you mean,’Supposedly’? Contrary to the manufacturers’ documents, the vaccine does actually contain Viral DNA. According to documents filed with Medsafe New Zealand, each vaccine also has a much higher amount of HPV protein than stated on the product insert, in order to ensure that as the vaccine degrades over time, at the END of the shelf life, the vaccine will actually contain the stated dose on the vial. Question: What do you mean, this vaccine has recombinant HPV viral DNA! What is recombinant HPV viral DNA? This is where small lengths of genes from two different sources, are combined to make a single recombined length of genes which will perform a specific function. Question: The New Zealand Government, the manufacturers and all the health authorities not only assured us that there is no DNA, but they say SANE Vax Inc.’s allegations of contamination with DNA are a load of smelly porkies! Explain yourself please? No-one from the Government, FDA, EMA, or Health Departments have at any time, asked to see the test results of the vaccine, which SANE Vax Inc. commissioned. So, on what basis do they think that the test results are incorrect? Gardasil was made by taking a DNA sequence (which makes the virus “envelope”) from different types of papillomaviruses found in cancerous cervical cells. This viral genetic sequence was then spliced into a plasmid 3 – a circular piece of bacterial DNA (which helps divide the bacterial chromosomes) and allows the HPV DNA to be cloned into yeast. Plasmid DNA also encourages quick manufacture of the ‘balls,’ by the HPV genes. The genetically engineered mix then makes lots of little empty balls, or ‘virus like particles’ as seen in photo 4 of the Gardasil vaccine. Then according to Merck’s patent 5 , they have a highly sophisticated process which is supposed to filter out and remove ‘contaminating biomolecules, including DNA, lipids and proteins.’ What the test results found, was that some recombinant DNA sequences originating from different types of the virus DNA used to make the vaccine, are still in the vaccine. Question: What are all those other bits in that photo? Aluminium, and presumably more mashed up virus like particles. But according to the tests commissioned by SANE Vax Inc., viral DNA used to make those little balls and mashed up pieces, are not removed from Gardasil. Question: But FDA says that these recombinant DNA are “expected” when using this process. Isn’t that true? No. If those DNA fragments were “expected” components of Gardasil, they would have been listed in the ingredients of the vaccine, and documentation should exist showing why they are a safe and ‘essential’ ingredient in the vaccine. Question: How does this fancy patented purification process tell the difference between culture medium DNA, yeast DNA and HPV DNA? You tell me and we’ll both know. Question: If SANE-vax’s tests ARE actually correct, why did a purification process which is supposed to remove DNA lipids, proteins, and biomolecules not work? I think Merck would like to know the answer to that as well. In the meantime, FDA are covering Merck’s butt for them. Question: But isn’t there a final product purity test for Gardasil? In New Zealand, according to paper work submitted to Medsafe, there are no final purity tests, because Merck believes their filtration process is good enough without them. Question: But aren’t there filtration tests designed to make sure the process is good enough? According to paper work submitted to Medsafe, there are no filtration “adequacy” tests because Merck believes their process is good enough without them. Question: Isn’t Gardasil made the same way as the Hepatitis B vaccine? Yes, and according to FDA 6 documentation, “Assays for cesium, polysaccharides, DNA, pyrogens and sterility are performed” on the Hepatitis B bulk product. You’d think the same would be done for Gardasil, wouldn’t you? Question: Does the Hepatitis B vaccine also contain genetically engineered, recombinant DNA? It would appear that the Hepatitis B vaccine could ALSO contain a similar kind of genetically manipulated DNA (in spite of tests to ensure DNA removal). Such recombinant DNA in the Hepatitis B vaccines is also not mentioned in its data sheet or constituent list. FDA, in its reply to SANE Vax Inc., intimated that Hepatitis B vaccine also contains recombinant DNA, and that such unstated DNA was quite “acceptable”. So they are covering Merck’s butt for that as well. Question: FDA says these particles are no big deal because they can’t cause infection. Is that true? No it’s not. The point of a vaccine is to form antibodies to various substances called “antigens” in the vaccine. DNA doesn’t have to cause infection to spell trouble. Because the recombinant DNA is tightly bound to the aluminium, the aluminium turns the DNA into an ‘antigen,’ something the immune system has to react to. But an abnormal immune response, especially to an aluminium-bound DNA, could result in antibodies which cross react and turn against healthy DNA. That could cause autoimmune disease, brain inflammation, joint inflammation, and major disruption to energy pathways, hormone functions and a vast array of other biological pathways, which normally keep an adolescent healthy, physically and mentally. Question: But FDA says that Gardasil is very safe and doesn’t cause anything more than a sore arm. Isn’t that true? No. America’s FDA and all medical authorities say that all vaccines are safe apart from sore arms, and that everything else that happens after a vaccine is a coincidence…, and anyone who says otherwise, needs their head looked at. FDA monitors all vaccines by using a system called VAERS, short for the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, which is known to only collect 10% of reactions at most, and reporting is voluntary, not mandatory. On the one hand, they ‘consult’ this system, but on the other, they consider that all reactions sent to this system have nothing to do with the vaccine at all. So in terms of a monitoring system, they might as well not have one at all. In fact, they might as well do away with it altogether, since to them, the fact that Gardasil reports comprise 20% of all reported reactions appears to them to be some fabricated nuisance. It doesn’t seem to occur to the FDA, that perhaps there is something badly wrong with this ‘lovely safe’ vaccine, which their crystal ball says will prevent your child from having cervical cancer, by the (average) age of 54. Question: Are you telling me, I shouldn’t trust the FDA, health authorities and governmental agencies? Why would you want to trust anyone who tells you something ludicrous like, “Human papillomaviruses have a label on their foreheads saying ‘No entry until sex’” when that is patently, proveably untrue? If FDA can spread such ridiculous comments world-wide, without corrective advice from the scientists who know that isn’t true, why would the FDA (or silent scientists) bother with the’truth’ when it came to anything else? Question: So what do I do now? I don’t know. It’s your choice. You could vaccinate your child, and see what happens. Does that sound like a good idea? If it doesn’t, you better tell your child, because in some countries, they can be vaccinated without your consent! By Hilary Butler, Contributing Author SANE Vax Inc.

The L1 gene strand used to make the vaccine, is specific in that it makes the round ball (envelope) that surrounds the DNA. 2 A toxin which sends a red alert danger message to the immune system which says, ‘Oi you, there is danger in that locker, go and deal with it.’ Without it, the immune system would just yawn and go back to sleep. 3 http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/R/RecombinantDNA.html 4 http://www.nanoimagingservices.com/emailblasts/110209_landingpageHPVadjuvant.jpg 5 http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6,602,697.PN.&OS=PN/6,602,697&RS=PN/6,602,697 6 http://www.fda.gov/downloads/biologicsbloodvaccines/vaccines/approvedproducts/ucm110155.pdf
