Bill Gates says vaccines can help reduce world population

(NaturalNews) In a recent TED conference presentation, Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates, who has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to new vaccine efforts, speaks on the issue of CO2 emissions and its effects on climate change. He presents a formula for tracking CO2 emissions as follows: CO2 = P x S x E x C. P = People S = Services per person E = Energy per service C = CO2 per energy unit Then he adds that in order to get CO2 to zero, “probably one of these numbers is going to have to get pretty close to zero.” Following that, Bill Gates begins to describe how the first number — P (for People) — might be reduced. He says: “The world today has 6.8 billion people… that’s headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.” You can watch this yourself at: http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=A155D113455FAC882A3290536575C723 Reducing the world population through vaccines This statement by Bill Gates was not made with any hesitation, stuttering or other indication that it might have been a mistake. It appears to have been a deliberate, calculated part of a well developed and coherent presentation. So what does it mean when Bill Gates says “if we do a really great job on new vaccines… we could lower [world population] by 10 or 15 percent?” Clearly, this statement implies that vaccines are a method of population reduction . So is “health care,” which all NaturalNews readers already know to be more of a “sick care” system that actually harms more people than it helps. Perhaps that’s the whole point of it. Given that vaccines technology help almost no one from a scientific point of view (http://www.naturalnews.com/029641_vaccines_junk_science.html), it raises the question: For what purpose are vaccines being so heavily pushed in the first place? Bill Gates seems to be saying that one of the primary purposes is to reduce the global population as a mechanism by which we can reduce CO2 emissions. Once again, watch the video yourself to hear him say it in his own words: http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=A155D113455FAC882A3290536575C723 How can vaccines actually be used to reduce world population? Let’s conduct a mental experiment on this issue. If vaccines are to be used to reduce world population, they obviously need to be accepted by the majority of the people. Otherwise the population reduction effort wouldn’t be very effective. And in order for them to be accepted by the majority of the people, they obviously can’t just kill people outright. If everybody started dropping dead within 24 hours of receiving the flu shot, the danger of vaccines would become obvious rather quickly and the vaccines would be recalled. Thus, if vaccines are to be used as an effective population reduction effort, there are really only three ways in which they might theoretically be “effective” from the point of view of those who wish to reduce world population: #1) They might kill people slowly in a way that’s unnoticeable, taking effect over perhaps 10 – 30 years by accelerating degenerative diseases. #2) They might reduce fertility and therefore dramatically lower birth rates around the world, thereby reducing the world population over successive generations. This “soft kill” method might seem more acceptable to scientists who want to see the world population fall but don’t quite have the stomach to outright kill people with conventional medicine. There is already evidence that vaccines may promote miscarriages (http://www.naturalnews.com/027512_vaccines_miscarriage.html). #3) They might increase the death rate from a future pandemic . Theoretically, widespread vaccination efforts could be followed by a deliberate release of a highly virulent flu strain with a high fatality rate. This “bioweapon” approach could kill millions of people whose immune systems have been weakened by previous vaccine injections. This is a known side effect of some vaccines, by the way. A study documenting this was published in PLoS. Read the story here: http://www.naturalnews.com/028538_seasonal_flu_shot_vaccines.html Here’s the study title and citation: Does Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Increase the Risk of Illness with the 2009 A/H1N1 Pandemic Virus? Viboud C, Simonsen L (2010) Does Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Increase the Risk of Illness with the 2009 A/H1N1 Pandemic Virus? PLoS Med 7(4): e1000259. doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.1000259 The short answer is yes, seasonal flu vaccines do cause increased susceptibility to the H1N1 pandemic virus. In other words, seasonal flu vaccines could set up the population for a “hard kill” pandemic that could wipe out a significant portion of the global population (perhaps 10 to 15 percent, as Bill Gates suggested). Conveniently, their deaths could be blamed on the pandemic, thereby diverting blame from those who were really responsible for the plot. As yet another beneficial side effect for the global population killers, the widespread deaths could be used as a fear tool to urge more people to get vaccinated yet again, and the entire cycle could be repeated until world population was brought down to whatever manageable level was desired… all in the name of health care! The more people around the world are vaccinated before the release of the “hard kill” pandemic virus, the more powerful the effect of this approach. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Perhaps not coincidentally, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars into vaccine programs targeting people all over the world. One such program is researching the development of “sweat-triggered vaccines” that could use specially-coated nano-materials to deliver vaccines to people without using injections. More interestingly, his foundation has also invested millions in sterilization technologies that have been called a “temporary castration” solution. (http://www.naturalnews.com/028887_vaccines_Bill_Gates.html) It seems that the actions of the Gates foundation are entirely consistent with the formula for CO2 reduction that Bill Gates eluded to in his TED conference speech: CO2 = P x S x E x C. By reducing birth rates (through sterilization technologies) and increasing vaccine penetration throughout the world population (by using sweat-triggered nano-vaccines), his stated goal of reducing the world population by 10 to 15 percent could be reached within just a few years. Who will be left alive? The smart people The interesting thing about all this is that this campaign to reduce global population through vaccines will obviously not impact people who consciously avoid vaccines. And those people, by and large, tend to be the more intelligent, capable people who actually have an improved ability to move human civilization forward with thoughtful consideration. I can only imagine that those people designing this vaccine-induced population control measure might be sitting around a table chuckling to themselves and saying, “It’s only the stupid people that are going to be killed off anyway, so this is actually helping the future of humankind!” (Their words, not mine.) In a weird world government kind of way, this effort might actually be based on some distorted vision of philanthropy where some of the most powerful people in the world quite literally believe the way to save humanity is to kill off as many of the gullible people as possible . Vaccines are, in effect, an “evil genius” kind of way to conduct an IQ test on the population at large: If you go get vaccinated every flu season, you’re not too bright and probably don’t engage the kind of strong mental faculties that humanity will no doubt need if it is to face a future where it is now all but obvious we are not alone in the universe. If humanity is to save itself from its own destruction and compete as an uplifted species in our universe, killing off the least intelligent members of society (or making them infertile) may appear to the world controllers to be a perfectly reasonable approach. I disagree with that approach, but it may be precisely what they are thinking. In any case, choosing to receive a seasonal flu shot is undoubtedly an admission that you have failed some sort of universal IQ test, whether or not this is the intention of world influencers such as Bill Gates. More importantly, it is also a betrayal of your own biology, because it indicates you don’t believe in the ability of your own immune system to protect you even from mild infections. Perhaps the world vaccine conspirators figure that if people are willing to betray themselves anyway, it’s not much different for governments and institutions to betray them as well. In other words, if you don’t even care enough about your own health to take care of your health, why should any government care about protecting your health, either? As you ponder this, also consider something else: The U.S. is going broke due to sick-care costs which are rising dramatically under the new federal health care reform guidelines. Can you guess the fastest and easiest way to reduce those health care costs? If you guessed, “unleash a hard-kill pandemic that takes out a significant portion of the weak or sick people” then you guessed right. Sadly, killing off those most vulnerable to sickness could save the U.S. government literally billions of dollars in sick-care expenditures. Plus, it would save Social Security yet more billions by avoiding ongoing monthly payouts. (Again, I am completely against such an approach because I value human life, but I also know we live in a world where the people in charge have little or no respect for human life and will readily sacrifice human lives to achieve their aims.) As far as Bill Gates goes, consider his statement in the context of what we’ve discussed here: “The world today has 6.8 billion people… that’s headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.” It suddenly seems to make a lot of sense when you understand that reducing the population reduces CO2 emissions, and using more vaccines on more people increases the death rate of the population. My advice? Try to avoid being among those 10 to 15 percent who get culled through global vaccine programs. You will not only save your life, you’ll also pass the “universal IQ test” which determines whether you’re smart enough to know that injecting your body with chemicals and viral fragments in order to stop “seasonal flu” is a foolish endeavor. Be healthy and wise, and you’ll survive the world depopulation effort that victimizes conventional thinkers who don’t have the intelligence to question what they’re being told to do by their own corrupt governments.

Humans vs. the environment – A thought experiment

(NaturalNews) Protecting the environment isn’t a “liberal” idea; it’s everybody’s business. Liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, the environment provides life support for us all, and if we fail to recognize that, we are truly doomed as a civilization. To help explain this, I’ve put together a simple thought experiment. It begins with three undeniable truths about humans and the environment: Truth #1 – The Earth’s resources are limited. This should be self-evidence, but some people still don’t get it. The Earth’s resources — oil, forests, water, energy, and so on — are finite. They do not exist in infinite quantities. If they did, they would obviously be larger than the Earth itself (and would, in fact, fill the universe). But they don’t fill the universe. They are contained within the boundaries of planet Earth, and therefore they are limited. Of course, many of Earth’s resources can be either regenerated or recycled , but that only happens over time — usually a long time. In the case of oil, it’s hundreds of thousands of years. For fossil water it’s much the same. The rate at which modern human civilization is using up these resources is orders of magnitude faster than the rate at which they can be naturally regenerated. This holds true for oil, water, topsoil, forests and more. Truth #2 – Each person living in modern civilization consumes some amount of the Earth’s limited resources. This should also be self-evident: People consume resources. When you drive your car, you’re obviously consuming limited natural resources. When you buy a car, you’re consuming many other natural resources (all the elements that went into making a car), too. This is true even when you buy a solar panel. Every time you turn on a light switch, or open a package of food, or swallow a piece of food, you are consuming some amount of the Earth’s limited resources. The sum of your consumption is called your “ecological footprint,” and your ecological footprint is much larger than the immediate space you might call your home. The things you consume in your home require the resources of a much larger area far outside your home. A human child born in America today, for example, will consume 45,000 pounds of metal in their lifetime (through the products they purchase). That’s 45,000 pounds of metal that must be mined, processed, transported and manufactured into consumable products, and metal mining is a very dirty business, by the way, even if that metal goes into making clean energy devices such as wind turbines. Truth #3 – Humans are altering the environment You can’t argue with this (although some people ridiculously try). Human activity is altering our environment in a huge way, from the massive deforestation of the planet to the release of gases into the atmosphere. We’ve poisoned the rivers, destroyed natural habitat, polluted the oceans (Gulf of Mexico, anyone?) and altered the chemical composition of the atmosphere. These are undeniable scientific truths . No sane person can reasonably argue that human beings have not radically altered the environment of our planet over the last 200 years. If you visited North America 200 years ago, for example, you wouldn’t even have recognized it as the same continent dominated by human beings today. A few hundred years ago, North America was teeming with life, with huge old-growth forests, pristine rivers and abundant plains. Today it is relatively dead, having been over-developed, over-paved and over-population to a point so extreme that our ancestors would largely consider it “dead”. Truth #4 – Humans really like to have babies This is also self-evidence: People like to procreate. Every family, it seems, wants children, and those children want their own children, too. In general, human beings want to procreate without limitation . This, of course, leads to an explosion in population growth. We’ve seen this explosion over the last two hundred years as the Earth’s population has grown from less than one billion people in 1800 to nearly seven billion today. Human beings do not consider their impact on the global population when they procreate. The decision to have children is made privately, selfishly, without regard to the impact on the planet. One more child seems like no big deal from the point of view of a couple that wishes for another son or daughter, but multiplied by billions, these decisions to procreate en masse lead to overpopulation, which leads to over-consumption of the planet’s limited resources. The Easter Island effect Now let’s work our little thought experiment. Given the four simple truths described above, it is only a matter of time before the continued procreation of human beings collides with the reality of limited resources, causing a crisis of unsustainability . At some point, in other words, the continued expansion of human beings will destroy so much of the natural environment (and use so many natural resources) that there will not be enough resources available to support the continuation of the existing population. I call this the “Easter Island effect,” in reference to the way in which the natives of Easter Island chopped down all their trees to build ever-larger monuments to themselves, and in doing so they destroyed their entire ecosystem and soon perished. The entire human civilization is now pulling an Easter Island on a global scale. Our two choices Given that the unlimited expansion of the human population must inevitably use up key resources required to sustain human life, it stands to reason that there are only two choices for how we human beings can choose to deal with the situation: Choice #1 – We can acknowledge the ecological impact of human beings on our planet and make conscious choices to live within the bounds of sustainable balance with our planet (i.e. keeping our population size relatively stable by limiting runaway population growth, reducing our ecological footprint, respecting the natural environment that supports life on our planet, etc.). Choice #2 – We can continue our mindless population expansion and resource exploitation while ignoring any long-term consequences. This is the definition of stupidity , and yet it is precisely the path that modern human civilization is now choosing. It also seems to be the chosen path of “anti-environmentalists” — people who resist the idea that we need to protect the environment at all. Sadly, human civilization has decided to go with choice #2. I believe the future of modern civilization is now set . Population expansion and resource depletion will soon collide with the limitations of our planet and result in a cataclysmic collapse of our civilization. We human beings are pulling off the Easter Island scenario, but with more than just trees: We’re doing it with oil, water, soil and habitat. We are destroying the only planet that can keep us alive, and there now appears to be no stopping this self-destructive tendency of the human species. I have personally seen no evidence that the current human species is capable of long-term, sustainable balance with any ecosystem. It lacks the intelligent foresight necessary to anticipate such outcomes and make adjustments well in advance of them coming true. Some people among us even argue against environmental protection, not realizing they are essentially arguing for their own self-destruction. Other who are more thoughtful argue only against the fear of a world government enforcing environmental regulations at the expense of losing personal freedoms. This is a legitimate concern, and I happen to agree with these concerns. “Protecting the environment” can all too easily become a slippery mantra for world domination over individual freedom. The best way to avoid losing freedom while saving our environment is through education of the public that urges people to make better decisions without turning them into criminals if they fail to make those decisions. Can humanity save itself? Saving human civilization from its own ignorance is no easy task. It will require intelligent, forward-thinking business leaders who see the long-term picture and who genuinely care about the future. Yet sadly, there is no such thing . Business leaders are, by definition, focused on the next fiscal quarter, not the next century. They will ALWAYS mortgage our collective future to increase their immediate profits. There is almost no such thing as a successful business person who is simultaneously an effective steward of our planet’s natural resources. The simple act of generating more business — in any business — always results in more consumption because our entire economic system is based on consumption. It’s even true about internet businesses, by the way. Every bit and byte you consume over the internet has an indirect environmental cost due to the electricity consumption of the CPUs delivering that content to you as well as, more importantly, the enormous cooling demand in data centers that spend fortunes just cooling all the computers running there. The fact that our economic activity is fundamentally based on consumption rather than conservation demonstrates why humanity is doomed to destroy itself. After seeing the failure of so many environmental summits, I’m convinced of it. I don’t see any possible way that human beings will suddenly gain the intelligence and foresight necessary to live in balance with our natural world. Not without a crisis to teach everybody a few lessons, anyway. But even the Gulf Coast disaster isn’t fundamentally changing the way business leaders think about consumption. They think it’s just an “oil problem” not a global problem with the business models that drive our world into a self-destructive cycle of mindless consumption. What may be coming in the next few years When the population continues to expand and most of the world’s resources are wiped out, the human population will plunge into a time of great darkness. The loss of life will be immense — perhaps as much as a 90% reduction in the planetary population. Ecosystems will fail, crops will fail and civilization itself will be brought to its knees. It won’t take much to crash the current global system. Once the power grid is down for as little as 5 days, there’s almost no bringing civilization back — at least not modern civilization as we know it. Once the population is drastically reduced, the natural environment will have a chance to recover. Plants and animals will re-populate areas once lost to high-density human populations. And once the abundance returns, humans will again have the abundance necessary to re-populate, too. Hopefully future generations of human beings will learn from our present mistakes and not pursue the same path we did — the path of endless consumption of the planet’s resources to the point of destruction. On a long time scale, you will likely see human population rising, then crashing, then rising again from the ashes of a collapsed civilization. This is the ebb and flow of the future of life on Earth. You might even call it a “natural” cycle of human population expansion, then collapse, followed by expansion and yet more collapse. It’s very similar to the way a virus invades a human body and multiplies until it kills the very host that once gave it life. In terms of big-picture behavior, humans are much like a virus on our planet. This cycle of destruction and rebirth could be balanced out, though, by a sufficiently intelligent species gifted with sufficient foresight to see what’s coming and make early adjustments to avoid the population collapse. Our current human species, sadly, is not sufficiently intelligent to do so. The corporate greed machine I hadn’t really accepted this outcome as reality until just recently. I’ve always maintained a more optimistic attitude, thinking that we could find innovative ways to reverse climate change, reduce consumption, educate people and invent new technologies to clean up the planetary messes we’ve made. But I can now see that we’re up against corporate monsters that are relentlessly pushing for our collective destruction. They’re destroying our seeds and genes (for profit, no less), our soils, rivers, oceans and lands. They’re corrupting our minds with pro-business propaganda and our bodies with their chemicals poisons. And they absolutely will not stop until every last exploitable resource on the planet has been used up and sold to a consumer. When our world is dominated by Monsanto, DuPont, oil companies, pharmaceutical companies, weapons manufacturers, junk food giants and chemical companies, there’s not much hope for meaningful change that could set humanity on a new course of conservation and protection of life. Sadly, there is no stopping the great corporate greed machine. It will keep rolling forward, aiming for more growth, more consumption and more exploitation until the very last drop of oil is squeezed out of the tar sands and every last tree is slashed to make room for cattle ranching. A profit-based economic model cannot coexist with environmental protection because the two concepts are opposites. Big Business depends on endless growth, expansion, exploitation and consumption. But the environment can only be protected by consuming less. And that’s not even in the vocabulary of today’s business executives. The idea of consuming less is the antithesis of corporate profit and expansion. Have you ever seen a Coca-Cola ad that urged you to “drink less Coke”? That’s why as long as corporations rule our world (and make no mistake, they already do), there is no saving the environment. Ergo, there is no saving ourselves from a complete civilization blowout that will eventually see the near-destruction of our natural world… with the collapse of the human population to soon follow. The thought experiment – SimEarth Imagine you’re playing a software game called SimEarth. (Such a game actually exists, I believe, but I’m not referring to any real game. This is a fictional exercise.) In this SimEarth game, you get 1 point for every year that one human being is alive on planet Earth. The simulation runs for 1000 years and begins in the year we know as 1500 A.D. In the game, just as in the real world, the survival of human beings depends on the people having access to food, water, shelter, safety and other essentials. When the game begins, you have a blank slate SimEarth planet with enormous untapped resources of fossil oil, fossil water, old-growth forests, abundant ocean life and incredible biodiversity on land and sea. The human population is relatively small, perhaps only a few million people. As the game progresses and the years tick by, you start earning more and more points by allowing the human population to multiply. At one point, you turn on the invention of the combustion engine coupled with the discovery of oil, and then things really begin to accelerate: Food production suddenly multiplies, making food resources incredibly cheap and abundant, leading to a population explosion. As the points keep racking up, you watch as your SimEarth world becomes increasingly taken over by humans. The old growth forests are cut down and replaced with farm lands and cattle ranches. The once-abundant populations of wild animals are replaced by concrete highways and housing developments. Fossil water supplies drop sharply and oil drilling rigs pump out a heavy portion of the planet’s remaining oil resources. Your points are really accelerating now as you watch the human population blow past four billion people, then five, and then six. At that point, on-screen statistics begin to flash red, warning you that world’s oil, water, food, soil and ocean health are all reaching critical levels of deficiency. Although you’re earning big points from all the human activity, the environmental cost of supporting all those people is now threatening the ecological stability of the planetary ecosystem. It is at this point you realize that, to beat the high score, you need to keep your human population alive at some level for the next 500 years, and yet the planet’s resources are running out, reaching depletion in just 50 years or less. What should you do? You decide to just watch and see what happens. With your eyes fixated on the screen, the years tick past. Twenty-five years further into the simulation, the oil runs out, thrusting your simulated societies into an energy crisis. Without cheap, plentiful oil, food production grinds to a halt. Mass starvation takes hold in just one year, leading to disease and the unleashing of a global pandemic. Over the next five years, the human population suffers a massive, catastrophic die-off, plummeting to less than a billion people. Your once-awesome score now looks pitiful: Human civilization crashed and you’ll never win the simulation now. Game over. This is the outcome facing modern human civilization… and it’s no game . The possibility is very real. Unless something drastic is done to find a balance between human consumption (which is directly tied to population) and the natural environment that supports us all, our population is going to crash, too. It is a simple matter of biology. The population problem no one dares speak of There’s no way around this sobering thought: Population is the problem . There are too many people consuming too much stuff. It cannot be sustained — especially not at the very high rates of consumption our western world has grown used to. To solve this dilemma, you can either reduce the population over time (through one-child policies, for example) or reduce consumption (through a variety of means), but you’ve got to do something. In no way do I support the idea of a one-child policy, by the way. I don’t support government intervention in our private lives, and I don’t support governments mandating personal limits on our carbon consumption. But then again, if something radical doesn’t change, it’s fairly obvious that the human population is simply going to keep expanding until key resources are all dried up. And that, of course, will result in a devastating crash of the human population. So there you have it: The price for our expansionistic, high-consumption lifestyles today is eventually going to be the blowout of human civilization in the future, followed by a sharp population crash. The only thing that can really stop it is forced government population control, a global pandemic, or some other widespread disaster that kills off a huge percentage of the world population. None of these seem particularly desirable. Or, perhaps, the world could be saved with a sudden burst of global education that teaches people to think about the long-term consequences of their own actions, but I’m not betting on that happening anytime soon. Even really smart people in first-world nations still burn up oil and use up resources as if there were no consequences. Education alone cannot save human civilization from destroying itself. Smart people are not necessarily ecologically-aware people. In fact, you could argue that the most highly-educated people on the planet are precisely those who are consuming the greatest natural resources. (Poor, uneducated populations don’t consume much for the simple reason that they cannot afford to.) There’s no way around it: We are on a track headed straight for our own destruction. A planet-wide collapse is coming sometime this century. If you think I’m wrong, I’d like to hear from you. I hope I’m wrong, and I’m looking for a reasoned argument that can offer a solution to our population problem — preferably without resorting to government-run population control initiatives or forced one-child policies. Seriously: How can the human species now save itself from its own destruction? Even free energy technologies aren’t the answer, as they don’t solve the problems of running out of fossil water, topsoil, natural habitat or rare earth metals used in industrial processes. Free energy will only cause the human population to explode even more rapidly, worsening the current problem of over-population. I challenge every person reading this to do the math . Run the numbers yourself. Look at the limited resources on our planet and compare them with the per-capita consumption facts associated with modern-day consumers. Then consider what happens when the population keeps expanding… and add to that the desire for poorer nations to “achieve” the consumption rates of first-world nations like the USA. If you do the math, you’ll quickly see it doesn’t add up. The projects all come to a screeching halt in the next hundred years (if not sooner). The population growth rates still under way lead to a literal dead end, given current rates of consumption. This may not be a popular topic to write about. Most people prefer to pretend this problem doesn’t exist (much like the U.S. national debt). But it is, in reality, the single largest problem facing the future of human civilization: How do we find a way to live in balance with our natural environment while sustaining a steady population… without turning our world into a population control police state? I personally cannot think of any acceptable solution to this problem that does not involve some sort of massive population control measure… and that solution is, itself, unthinkable.

Small businesses threatened with 1099 tax form tyranny provision in health care bill

(NaturalNews) According to a recent report from CNNMoney.com , the massive U.S. health care system overhaul includes more than just a transition to government-run medicine. A small section hidden away in the 2,409-page bill requires all businesses to send 1099 tax forms to every company or individual from which they purchased more than $600 in services and goods throughout the tax year, beginning on January 1, 2012. As you’ll see below, this new law threatens to cause a wave of paperwork chaos across the entire U.S. economy, stifling the operations of small businesses and driving more jobs overseas. Here’s why… 1099s required for virtually any expenditure For those of you who aren’t familiar with a 1099, this tax document is typically issued to independent contract workers who receive payments for work they’ve done. “Employees” of businesses are issued W-2 forms at the end of the tax year while independent contractors and other freelancers making money outside of the wage structure receive 1099 forms. But the new change (conveniently slipped into the health care bill that nobody actually read prior to voting on it) drastically expands the scope of 1099s. Not only will contract workers be receiving them, but so will millions of individuals and companies that receive more than $600 in payments for services and products they provide throughout the tax year. And if you’re a small business owner, you will be required to issue a 1099 to every business from which you purchased more than $600 worth of goods or services . If you buy a laptop at Best Buy, for example, you will be required by law to issue a 1099 form to Best Buy. If you purchase over $600 in internet services, you need to issue a 1099 to your broadband provider. If you get a car repair over $600, you have to issue a 1099 form for that, too. This law might as well be called the “Accountant employment act of 2010″ because it will drastically expand the mountain of tax paperwork needed to be filed by all U.S. small businesses and corporations. How the changes will really impact small business Remember: The new law will require 1099s to be issued to both individuals and corporations. This means that a musician who buys an expensive new guitar will have to send the retailer a 1099 at the end of the year for that purchase. A florist will have to send 1099s to each of her suppliers as well, including the flower growers, the ribbon company and even the place where she buys tape and scissors if those purchases exceeded $600 throughout the year. In fact, the more sources businesses buy from, the more 1099s they will have to issue, which will likely cause many of them to consolidate their vendors. Do you see where I’m going with this? These “small” changes are going to have a monumental impact on how business is run in America, particularly small businesses who are already strapped with heavy regulatory burdens. 1099s will be used for a lot more than just taxing compensation. They will be used to tax virtually all business expenses, driving up prices for everyone. The changes are also going to create an “avalanche of [new] paperwork”, according to Bill Rys, tax counsel for the National Federation of Independent Businesses. Business owners are going to have to spend a lot more time tracking purchases and saving receipts, which for many is going to be a logistical nightmare that could drive them right out of business. Small businesses will go out of business, thanks to the IRS Those of you that own or operate a small business already know how difficult it can be to stay afloat and compete in today’s economy, especially during tough times. Besides the regular day-to-day operations, there are all kinds of fees, taxes and other regulatory burdens that make doing business a challenge. Can you imagine having to track and tally every single business purchase you make throughout the year and send 1099 forms to all of them ? How about having to collect names and taxpayer identification numbers from every vendor or payee that you dealt with? Can you imagine how long it would take on the phone with Wal-Mart customer service to try to obtain the company’s tax ID? Multiply this by the other five hundred companies you do business with, and you start to get an idea of the new burden this is going to place on small businesses across America. It’s going to take a whole lot more time to comply with these rules, and many small businesses will probably have to hire someone full-time just to take care of it all. The additional expense will either further strain companies who can take the hit (which will just drive up prices for consumers) or force them out of business. But no matter how you look at it, it’s a lose-lose situation for American businesses. And what about all the companies on the receiving end? Imagine the flood of 1099 forms companies like Apple will receive at the end of the year from all the freelancers who bought new computers from them? Or Office Max for millions of dollars of office supplies? The burden will be tremendous not only on those who have to track and send all the 1099s, but also on everyone who receives them. And it’s not just the big guys that will bear the burden. There are plenty of small, family-owned suppliers who are going to have a tough time complying. Many of them will most likely be forced out of business because they won’t be able to absorb the cost. Or businesses will choose instead to make purchases only from large “one-stop” shops because the paper trail will be a lot easier to manage. Government greed and corruption is ruining America The U.S. economy is already in shambles and many Americans are unemployed, but leave it to the American government (and the puppet masters who control them) to increase the burden on American business even more. Are these people out of their minds? This small tax change is going to have huge ramifications once it kicks in starting in 2012. Small businesses will take the biggest hit, resulting in even more lost jobs and higher prices for goods and services. Many companies might decide to just pack up shop now and move to another country before it all kicks in, and that means more American jobs being exported to other countries. The whole thing speaks volumes about how things are run in Washington where it’s all about money and control. Bureaucrats are always looking for new ways to pass new laws that will bankroll their out-of-control spending programs. You know… the ones that get them reelected. Fortunately, not all politicians are in on the game. Rep. Dan Lungren (R-Calif.) recently introduced a bill called “The Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act , which would rescind the 1099 provisions from the health care bill. It’s a good start, but what about the rest of the politicians? Where is the outcry from the alleged “public servants” over tax changes that threaten to destroy American small businesses? Small businesses are the primary drivers of our economy. They are the ones responsible for real job creation in America. Provisions like the 1099 mandate only work to destroy the very fabric that has held America’s economy together. Any government that tries to destroy this crucial sector is only accelerating the country’s financial demise. It’s time for people to wake up and take a stand against this paperwork tyranny . A nation drowning in tax forms can’t get much of anything else done, and Washington, it seems, just can’t help but heap another tax compliance paperwork nightmare upon the People. That is has all been hidden inside the health care reform bill is yet another insult to the intelligence of us all. Who do these politicians think they are? How quickly they forget that Government derives its power from the People and not the other way around.

Artificial pancreas breakthrough offers solution for health effects of eating artificial food

(NaturalNews) It’s downright amazing: A biomedical engineer at Boston University has developed a so-called “artificial pancreas” that helps diabetics maintain balanced blood sugar levels by monitoring the blood and releasing either insulin or glucagon as needed. Now all those people who eat artificial food advertised through artificial worlds on television can add an artificial pancreas to their artificial health care plan. The mainstream media is all over this story, but what they’re not telling anybody is that for type-2 diabetics, artificially using insulin injections to “balance” blood sugar levels only serves to convert blood sugar into body fat, increasing the obesity of the patient. This is one reason why most diabetics are obese. The idea of an “artificial pancreas” gives false hope to diabetics by implying that they can replace their “failed” pancreas with a new medical device that will cure them of their diabetes. But that’s just flat-out false: The only cure for type-2 diabetes is a radical lifestyle change that involves regular exercise, greatly enhanced nutrition and the elimination of refined carbohydrates and sugars from the diet. What diabetics need isn’t an artificial pancreas but real food to replace their processed, fabricated, factory-produced junk foods and sugary soft drinks. Real food, however, is hard to come by in a society where virtually everything is now artificial: Foods, boobs, lips, snacks, flavoring, food coloring, the television news and much more. Most of us live in an artificial world , wrapped inside our little cocoons of “pretend health” constructed by drug companies and junk food manufacturers who all somehow manage to claim their products are good for you. But I have a radical idea: Why not take care of your REAL pancreas? Why not exercise, get some sunshine, choose superfoods instead of junk foods and swear off refined sugars and carbohydrates for life? You were born with the only pancreas you’ll ever need, and instead of living your life hooked up to a blood sugar monitor that you have to drag around with you everywhere, wouldn’t it be easier to rely on the intelligent organs that already exist in your chest cavity? Mainstream medicine, you see, thinks it’s so smart when they develop an artificial heart, lung, kidney or pancreas. And yet none of these function with anything that comes close to the intelligence and complexity of the organs you were born with . Take care of the organs given to you by Mother Nature and you won’t have to live the rest of your life connected to medical machines that are billed by the hour. Oh, yeah, and did I mention that your own pancreas works for free? Unlike with an expensive medical device, you don’t have to pay any money to use your own pancreas. But you do have to pay attention to your diet , your exercise and other health and lifestyle choices. By the way, in terms of clarifying the tone of this story, I do recognize that there are a relatively small number of people who suffer from type-1 diabetes through no fault of their own. For them, an artificial pancreas might be a lifesaving technology. But for the vast majority of diabetics, the root cause is lifestyle choices that can be revised and improved through conscious health. For them, the promise of an artificial pancreas is just an empty promise that will never cure their diabetes. Instead, it will only have them living out the rest of their lives tethered to a machine that pumps them full of blood sugar hormones.

Introducing Daniel Vitalis, an interview about water, immunity and SurThrival

(NaturalNews) If you don’t yet know who Daniel Vitalis is, you’re in for a real treat. Among all the people I’ve ever interviewed, Daniel is among the very best communicators in the world on cutting-edge topics like wild foods, spring water, medicinal mushrooms and the coming global changes that will restructure our entire civilization. I recently sat down to talk with Daniel Vitalis about water , the coming water shortages, the potential for water wars and other fascinating topics. The full interview is available as a free MP3 download at: http://www.naturalnews.com/Index-Podcasts.html Daniel Vitalis is a fascinating public speaker. Every time he gets on stage and speaks in front of an audience, he astonishes them with not just the depth of his knowledge but also the intelligence of his insight . Daniel can not only explain what’s happening right now in the world of cutting-edge health; he can also outline a very convincing explanation of what might be coming in the years ahead. So don’t miss this interview. It’s one of the most fascinating you’ll hear all year. The SurThrival product line Daniel Vitalis is a resourceful and extremely intelligent person, and he has applied that intelligence to a DVD course called “Invincible Health” as well as formulating some rather extraordinary nutritional supplements. You’ll notice that his product line is called “SurThrival.” What’s up with that? It’s about much more than just surviving — it’s about thriving! Everything Daniel works on is about improving the quality of life through enhanced health, the gathering of knowledge and the expansion of the human experience. He sticks with a very positive, uplifting message that’s packed with eye-opening information. Because we like what Daniel Vitalis is doing in terms of products and education, we’re now carrying the SurThrival product line at the NaturalNews Store. Check out the full product line here: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=100151_100325 Here are the key products in the SurThrival product line along with my personal comments (and experiences) for each one, including my story of hiking through the high Andres mountains near Quito. Immortal Deer Antler Velvet Gold About a year ago, I teamed up with Stan Grist to lead a tour into the high Andes mountains near Quito, Ecuador. It was a wonderful tour with a group of fascinating people, and we had an amazing time touring ancient civilization sites from the Inca and pre-Inca cultures. Somewhere around the second evening of this event, several of us got stricken by some very serious food poisoning from eating at a local restaurant that obviously wasn’t very clean. (This was before I learned the trick about taking Oregano Oil before each meal where there is a risk of food poisoning. The Oregano Oil has protected me ever since, but at the time, I didn’t know about this and I got nailed with something extremely nasty.) This was the kind of food poisoning that results in extreme delirium and explosive moments on the toilet. It actually landed myself and a couple other people in bed for one day while we cleared out the poison and regained out strength — and we are all super healthy people day-to-day, by the way. This wasn’t some virus we caught; this was straight-up food poisoning, like drinking poison and having to detox for 48 hours. After one day of rest, even though I was still extremely weak and suffering from the poisoning, I knew I had to help lead the tour out of a sense of duty to the group. Stan had been hit with the same food poisoning, but he soldiered through the first day as I was sick at the hotel, so I felt an obligation to jump in and give him a break. Sadly, this particular day had scheduled us to climb a mountain at something like 13,000 feet altitude, and it looked like it might rain on us, too. But with a sense of duty to the group, I slammed some superfoods, stocked up on extra water and T.P. and headed up the mountain with the group. There’s one other thing I did, too: I took two mouthfuls of Daniel’s Immortal Deer Antler Velvet Gold formula. This is very, very strong stuff. You don’t swallow it right away, either: You put it under your tongue and let it absorb right in your mouth. It has a distinct but not unpleasant taste, and it seems to kick in quite rapidly. Within minutes, I felt a surge of energy that I still credit for giving me the strength to stay conscious as I hiked up this 13,000-foot mountain while suffering from extreme food poisoning. I didn’t actually make it all the way to the top, and there were several moments when I thought I was going to pass out, but I managed to get up to the first level of ancient ruins (at perhaps 11,000 feet or so, I don’t quite remember) before deciding to collapse in the thick, heavy grass with my wife and my friend Seth Leaf (www.LivingNutz.com) who had also been hit with the same food poisoning from the same restaurant. We rested for an hour or two, waiting for the group to return from the peak, and then we hiked back down. Daniel Vitalis, by the way, went all the way to the top and was never hit by the food poisoning. Maybe it’s all the medicinal mushrooms he eats… or secrets from his “Super Immunity” DVD. I don’t know how, but the guy never got any food poisoning during the entire tour. In any case, on this day I learned first-hand the value of extremely potent liquid supplements. Deer Antler Velvet is one of those ancient Chinese Medicine herbs that has been used for thousands of years to help support healthy energy levels, healthy stamina and overall wellbeing. I believe it really helped me that day in the Andes mountains. I was lucky that Daniel had brought some along and was willing to share! SurThrival’s product is humanely harvested, by the way: They don’t kill deer to get this (or I wouldn’t even be talking about it, of course). It’s from the deer antlers that are regenerated by the deer each year. Now, Daniel can tell you all sorts of amazing details about why this product is used by so many elite athletes, body builders, and even senior citizens who are looking to support their health and fitness. But I just want to say that if you want to try something extraordinary — something that has been viewed upon as having almost mythical status by people over thousands of years of use in Chinese Medicine — try a vial of Immortal Deer Antler Velvet Gold. It’s probably the most expensive (and most potent) deer antler velvet product on the market. It’s not cheap, but it’s not watered-down, either. Knowing who Daniel Vitalis is and the depth of his knowledge, you can only imagine how much thought and care he has put into this product. It is, without a doubt, the best of the best in this product category. When I buy this product, I personally want to know who is behind it, and knowing Daniel’s knowledge and dedication to cutting-edge products, this is the product of choice for me. Does Deer Antler Velvet turn you into a bulletproof superhero with rock-hard erections and the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound? No, it doesn’t (sadly, because that might actually make for an interesting video review). Deer Antler Velvet is not magic; it’s biochemistry. I can’t tell you everything it’s capable of doing, because the FDA would jump all over me, and besides… results vary depending on your biochemistry. All I can say is that if you’re looking for something to support healthy energy levels without using cheap stimulants (caffeine, guarana, etc.), and you want to experience improved results in your life, try this product and see what results you experience . You can pick up this product right here: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=100151_100325 Immortal Deer Antler Velvet Silver This formula is a more affordable and less potent version of the “Gold” formula, above. It’s basically half the strength at (roughly) half the price. Even at half strength, though, it’s still many times more potent than many of the more common products I’ve seen on the market. Surthrival Colostrum You may already be familiar with colostrum, but in case you’re not, this is the so-called “immune milk” that’s produced by cows after the birthing of a new baby calf. This milk is biochemically enhanced by the cow to provide the all-important “first food” nutrients that help nourish baby calves while stimulating their immune systems to defend them against real-world infectious diseases. Now, I’m no fan of processed cow’s milk, but I do support people who consume raw milk , and I’ve seen many people experience what they described as very positive results from taking colostrum. This particular product, I’m told, is milked from cows only after the newborn calf drinks its share. The cows are raised organically, too. Colostrum is a very potent nutrient mix: This container has 124 servings. It’s available here: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=100151_100325 “Invincible Health” DVD Daniel Vitalis describes himself as a Health Motivator and Personal Development Strategist, and he’s gathered his best and most sought-after strategies in this information-packed DVD set. The first DVD is about super immunity, and it reveals some rather astounding (and VERY different) information on how to naturally boost your immunity. The second DVD is an exploration of the history and prohibition of psychoactive plants. It’s not a topic for everyone, of course, but for those who are interested in the relationship between botany and consciousness, this is a fascinating (and edgy) discussion. Like anyone who speaks their mind, Daniel Vitalis is also quite controversial to some people, and you may not agree with every single thing he says, but you’ll come away from this DVD with a wealth of new knowledge and curiosity about areas you might wish to explore in your own pursuit of health and / or expanded consciousness. Immortality Quest – Chaga It’s no exaggeration to say that Daniel is a respected expert on wild-crafted mushrooms. His formulations are extremely potent because they are water extractions of medicinal mushrooms. This is an important point to understand: Many mushroom supplements on the market are merely ground-up bulk mushroom biomass. They take mushrooms, dry them, grind them up and fill capsules with it. While there’s nothing inherently wrong in that, it’s nowhere close to the potency of water-extracted mushrooms. In a water extraction (which is the Traditional Chinese Medicine approach), the mushrooms are boiled in water to extract the powerful phytochemicals they contain. This water is then traditionally consumed as a health-supporting beverage. When this liquid is dried into a high-potency powder, that’s called a dried “water extraction” of the mushroom, and it is orders of magnitude more potent than merely swallowing ground up mushroom biomass. All the mushroom products in the SurThrival line are either water extractions or alcohol extractions (like tinctures that are dried into a potent powder). Immortality Quest – Mushroom Synergy This is one of my favorite mushroom products. It contains five mushroom water extractions, combined synergistically for maximum benefit: In just ONE capsule, you get: Organic Agaricus blazei extract 45% Polysaccharide (beta glucan) – 75mg Organic Coriolus versicolor PSP extract 30% polysaccharide peptide (beta glucan) – 75mg Organic Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) extract 18% polysaccharide (beta glucan) – 75mg Organic Shitake (Lentinula edodes) extract 20% polysaccharide (beta glucan) , 75mg Organic Maitake (Grifola frondosa) extract 35% polysaccharide (beta glucan) , 100mg Check it out here: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=100151_100325 Immortality Quest – Reishi This is Daniel’s Reishi mushroom product. Just one capsule provides: Organic Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum Gano 161) – 400mg* Cell wall extract 12%, non-linear polysaccharide (beta glucan), 6% triterpine (from fruit body) Note, carefully, that Daniel’s Reishi product is telling you exactly the potency of the measured compounds. Most mushroom supplements on the market don’t advertise their potency with scientific numbers because they are very weak products made from ground-up mushroom biomass rather than high-potency water extractions. By the way, the other company that offers very high-quality mushrooms made with water extractions is Mushroom Science. I’ve been a supporter of their products for a long time. DragonHerbs.com also offers some very good high-potency mushroom blends. The entire SurThrival product line, by the way, is also available on www.SurThrival.com where the prices are the same as what we have at the NaturalNews Store. You can pick up all these products (and many more) from the NaturalNews Store at: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=100151_100325 Thank you for your support, and I hope you enjoy Daniel’s edgy information on health, survival and super immunity.

Heal yourself in 15 days with the "Attitude of Gratitude" (part twelve)

(NaturalNews) So far in this 15-day self healing series, we’ve talked about healing yourself through many innovative methods that help protect you from threats to your health while activating the inner healing potential you already possess. Today, in part twelve of this series, we’re going to explore the power of gratitude in accelerating your healing even further. This isn’t some etheric, touchy-feely self-help exercise, by the way: there is a very real healing effect that is initiated in your body when you express gratitude towards people or things outside of yourself. Some of this effect can be measured biochemically, while other aspects of it are currently beyond scientific measurement. But the bottom line is irrefutable: Expressing gratitude initiates a powerful healing effect in your own mind and body. What do you have to be happy about? Getting to this gratitude, however, isn’t always so easy. Being able to genuinely express gratitude requires you to shift your focus away from the things that are negative and toward those things that you feel thankful for. And as you already know, it’s very easy to forget to be thankful for all the amazing things we experience on a daily basis. Many of us living in western society tend to focus on what we don’t have. We think we don’t have enough money, we don’t have enough time, we don’t have the partner we’re looking for and so on. And in that exercise — which can frankly dominate our day-to-day thinking if we’re not careful — we tend to ignore those amazing things we do have. So the more we can step back and examine what we already experience that’s valuable to us, the more we can focus on gratitude and the more we can accelerate our own inner healing as a result. Here’s a list of some of the things for which you may find plenty of gratitude: • Your health. Even if it isn’t perfect, you may be thankful for the health you have. • Your family. • Your freedoms (freedom of speech, etc.) • Your intelligence, consciousness and awareness. • Your memories! (Life without memories would be bizarre…) • Sunshine and nature — the great outdoors. • Food and seeds, some of the many remarkable gifts from Mother Nature. • Your job, business or career which provides the income you need. • Your inquisitiveness and desire to learn new things. • A spiritual awakening, or realization or philosophy that you follow. • Your pets / animal companions. In fact, if you think about, there are probably a great many things for which you can feel great gratitude — the small plants in your window sill, the knowledge about health that you’ve accumulated through reading, and even the fact that the sun will indeed come up tomorrow. Take a few moments and think about what you are thankful for. You may even wish to take a few minutes to jot down some notes for yourself. Set aside just 60 seconds a day With your list of those things you are thankful for, I’d like to invite you to set aside just one minute per day (or more, if you wish) to review that list, to verbalize your gratitude and to really take in your thankfulness for those things that you do have. Literally say it out loud: “I am thankful for the garden in my back yard and the opportunity to grow a small portion of my own food” for example. In just 60 seconds per day, if practiced daily, you will create an attitude of gratitude which will brighten your mood and uplift your day-to-day experience of life because it allows you to refocus your attention on those things you appreciate rather than those things you might despise. And this, as I hinted at earlier, will result in a very real physiological and biochemical healing effect within your own body. How gratitude becomes self-healing Every type of energy that you express to someone else is reflected in your own inner experience. So if you express hatred toward some other person or subject matter, there is an element of that energy that is also expressed internally in that moment. To hate someone else is to subject yourself to some reflection of that own hate, in other words. At the same time, to love something else — or to express thankfulness towards it — causes a reflection of that positive energy to be felt inside yourself, too. So the mere act of expressing gratitude is a form of self-healing. As a person who has written both positive and negative stories for many years, I am acutely aware of this dynamic. When I write negative stories for NaturalNews (critical stories), the energy that is reflected back is often negative in its tone, especially from the parties being criticized. But when I write positive stories, the energy that’s reflected back to me is very positive. You might wonder why, then, I still write some negative stories. The answer is that from time to time there are some injustices that are so extreme that I feel a need to expose them publicly even though I pay a personal price in terms of reflected negative energy. Even then, you’ve probably noticed a shift over the last several months where more stories here on NaturalNews are oriented toward the positive, because that’s what I much prefer to write about. In fact, when there’s an opportunity to write a positive story or do a positive product review, I actually feel a great sense of gratitude simply from the opportunity to do that. And that makes me feel good, too. So I’m practicing the same gratitude dynamics that I’m describing here in this article. What’s interesting about all this is something the Buddhists will tell you: In terms of self healing, it doesn’t really matter what you express gratitude towards — the positive feedback and effects on your own healing are still present. You could find a rock on a dirt path and express gratitude toward the rock and you’d still receive a measurable benefit from it. You can, in fact, express gratitude towards any thing or any person in the world — even if such gratitude is not necessarily justified — and still experience the benefits of that gratitude in your own mental and physical healing. This even works if you express gratitude towards larger concepts like “life” or “God” or “the universe.” Anger cannot coexist with gratitude Anger is a very destructive emotion because it causes stress, adrenal depletion and tension throughout the body. But you can learn to replace anger (or other negative emotions) with gratitude, and anger cannot coexist with gratitude . In this way, gratitude can begin to nudge out the other negative emotions you might be experiencing. This doesn’t mean you have to run around blindly thankful for everything without discerning times when criticism or anger might be called for, but the more you can find the gratitude in everyday things , the more you’ll activate and support your body’s inner healing processes. So start today and rediscover those things you feel gratitude towards. Express that gratitude either silently or verbally and enjoy the experience of that positive energy being reflected back at you.

The Lancet retraction of vaccine autism paper condemned as Big Pharma conspiracy to discredit Dr. Wakefield

(NaturalNews) When I saw The Lancet’s recent retraction of Dr. Wakefield’s famous paper linking vaccines to autism, I couldn’t help thinking back to 1989 when Fleischmann and Pons were widely attacked and discredit over their demonstration of cold fusion technology . These two brilliant physicists had accomplished the seemingly impossible: They had caused fusion to take place at low temperatures, producing both excess heat energy as well as the helium artifacts proving that low-energy nuclear reactions had taken place. The conventional physics community went berserk. They attacked Fleischmann and Pons relentlessly, attempting to destroy their character and any scientific credibility they might have held. They paraded a gang of “hot fusion” scientists through the mainstream media, telling everyone it was “impossible” to create nuclear fusion at tabletop temperatures. Through a repetition of lies, they convinced the world that Fleischmann and Pons were frauds. Hot fusion, you see, is big business. Big money. Billions of dollars have been thrown at hot fusion, and the careers and livelihoods of tens of thousands of people depend on it. By demonstrating that cold fusion really worked, Fleischmann and Pons were threatening an entire industry. That industry had no choice but to do everything possible to destroy the scientists. Truth be damned… this was all about politics and profits! Fast forward 20 years and guess what? Cold fusion is being replicated in laboratories all around the world. Even the U.S. Navy is now deeply engaged in the research (http://www.naturalnews.com/025925_cold_fusion_NaturalNews_coal.html), and it is recreating cold fusion experiments on a routine basis. Cold fusion, it turns out, is indeed quite real. Fleischmann and Pons were right. The conventional scientific community was wrong. And yet they got away with destroying the reputations of these scientists because the media bought their lies hook, line and sinker. To this day, supposed “intelligent” scientists and doctors still stupidly believe that cold fusion was a hoax. Big Pharma destroys Dr. Wakefield Today, the same tactics of disinformation and truth destruction are now being leveled against Dr. Wakefield, the courageous scientist who was the first to prove that vaccines were linked to autism. For the last twelve years, his research provided ammunition for opponents of mandatory vaccinations — people who were concerned about the safety of injecting synthetic chemicals and methyl mercury into the bodies of infants. The truth was getting out and vaccine skeptics were winning the information war. The H1N1 vaccination campaign was a complete failure — 80% of Americans rejected the recent H1N1 vaccine, for example. Drug companies needed to shut down the opposition as quickly as possible and put a lid on any resistance to mass vaccinations. The whole future of profits for Big Pharma, after all, depends on the public accepting more and more vaccines for “preventive” medicine. This means you get vaccinated for all sorts of things that you don’t have and may never get. The vaccines are sold to people as a kind of chemical-based health insurance program. To ensure the profitability of that future, Big Pharma needed to destroy Dr. Wakefield’s credibility. So they paraded a long list of pro-vaccine doctors and drug pushers in front of the media to accomplish essentially the same thing that was accomplished against Fleischmann and Pons in 1989 — the obliteration of their credibility in order to suppress the truth . The truth is dangerous to Big Pharma The truth is a dangerous thing. Especially when profits are at stake. The truth about vaccines would destroy an entire industry. That’s why the truth must not be allowed to appear in newspapers, magazines or medical journals. That’s why the truth is meticulously redacted from these publications and replaced by pro-pharma lies as a matter of course. It all comes back to George Orwell’s 1984 novel, where the day job of the main character Winston Smith is to literally rewrite history by replacing offensive stories in news archives with a “rewritten history” that’s more acceptable to the politicians currently in charge. The Lancet is doing exactly what George Orwell described in 1984 — rewriting history by obliterating scientific truth and removing it from their archives. And this is just the beginning. Watch for more medical journals to retract scientific papers that oppose the Big Pharma agenda. Any “science” that doesn’t agree with the vaccine / pharmaceutical agenda will simply be purged from the archives of human knowledge, leaving only whatever fraudulent science supports Big Pharma’s dark agenda. The very credibility of modern medical science is dissolving right before our eyes. When even the medical journals themselves are deeply engaged in the censorship of scientific knowledge and the promotion of a corporate agenda, you know there’s not much credibility left in the industry. Dr. Len Horowitz sent me this important announcement today (see below). It contains some rather disturbing information about the links between Reuters, The Lancet and Big Pharma. I’m reprinting it here in its entirety because I think it’s information that simply must be distributed. Forward this article to everyone you know — especially if you know new moms or expectant mothers who may be facing the vaccine decision soon. They need to know what’s really happening behind the veil of secrecy. And let me state without hesitation that injecting babies with chemicals is BAD for their health . Vaccines are a potential danger to human health. What people need — even in third world countries — is nutrition , not chemicals. If they had better nutrition and sanitation, infectious disease would largely disappear even without vaccines! (But the drug industry doesn’t believe in nutrition… vitamins are a threat to their vaccine profits.) Here’s the statement from Dr. Horowitz: Statement from Dr. Len Horowitz The editors of Medical Veritas journal (www.MedicalVeritas.org) have condemned The Lancet’s retraction (http://edition.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/02/02/lancet.retraction.autism/index.html) of the controversial study by Dr. Andrew Wakefield, charging editor Richard Horton with pandering to special interests in a conspiracy to defraud the public about the risks of vaccinations. In 1998, The Lancet published the contested study linking autism and intestinal problems to the risky MMR triple virus vaccine. Yesterday, following the British General Medical Council’s decision that Dr. Wakefield had been “dishonest,” The Lancet’s editor retracted the article saying the Council’s report made it “utterly clear, without any ambiguity at all, that the statements in the paper were utterly false.” In a letter to the Los Angeles Times (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/booster_shots/2010/02/andrew-wakefield-responds-to-article-about-journal-retraction.html), Dr. Gilbert Ross, medical director of the pro-vaccine industry American Council on Science and Health, wrote, “The retraction . . . comes far too late. Even now, Horton fails to accept responsibility for the human toll he engendered by publishing the Wakefield ‘study.’. . .” “On the contrary,” wrote Dr. Leonard Horowitz, Editor-in-Chief of Medical Veritas. “Dr. Horton’s delay is best explained by his aversion to self incrimination and conspiring to cover-up iatrogenocide — the medical mass murder of innocent people for profit.” The Winter, 2010 issue of Medical Veritas evidenced gross conflicting interests undermining the The Lancet’s integrity. Following the publication of Dr. Wakefield’s controversial study, Reed-Elsevier-ChoicePoint mergers occurred. The mega-company formed has nearly monopolized the medical scientific publishing industry . Previous to this, The Lancet editors protested the “damaging” of medicine and health science by pharmaceutical companies. “Now it is obvious Dr. Horton’s company has been grossly contaminated by special interests as biased as Dr. Ross’s ‘PharmaCouncil’,” Dr. Horowitz said. Reed-Elsevier-ChoicePoint, it turns out, is directed by Chief Executive Officer, Sir Crispin Davis, according to a Reuter’s News Service promotion for GlaxoSmithKline recently published (http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/officerProfile?symbol=GSK&officerId=593059). According to Forbes, Sir Davis was knighted by the Queen of England for his “service to the information industry.” (http://people.forbes.com/profile/crispin-davis/37085) He has served as a Non-Executive Independent Director of GlaxoSmithKline, PLC since 2003. Sir Davis spent his early career with Procter and Gamble. Reuter’s News Service, key to the British “information industry,” is directed by Editor-in-Chief, Thomas H. Glocer, who serves on the Board of Directors of Merck and Co., which admittedly paid Reed-Elsevier to publish pseudo-scientific articles and fraudulent medical journals, including the Australasian Journal of Bone and Joint Medicine. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australasian_Journal_of_Bone_and_Joint_Medicine) According to court records, and the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/14/business/14vioxxside.html?_r=1), the Merck-sponsored publication for doctors in Australia came to light during litigation over Vioxx (http://naturalnews.com/vioxx.html) — a pain medication that caused, conservatively, more than 27,785 deaths according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Lancet editor blamed the FDA (http://www.ahrp.org/infomail/04/10/12.php) for faulty oversight for the VIOXX killings, but failed to cite his own parent company’s complicity in the iatrogenocide. Dr. Horton wrote, “Without more vigilant drug regulation in the future, doctors will continue to be misled and patients’ lives will continue to be endangered. ” So with zero confidence in The Lancet, Dr. Horton, those paying his salary, and those criticizing him for his actions, Medical Veritas editors are inviting Dr. Wakefield to re-publish his controversial paper in their next issue. Outright slander against medical truth “Many of our editors have experienced slander and demeaning remarks by mainstream healthcare authorities and the media, Dr. Gary S. Goldman, the Associate Editor of Medical Veritas, wrote to Dr. Wakefield. “Your numerous peer-reviewed journal articles testify to your valuable contribution to the medical and health fields, and your stand against the opponents to scientific reason and common sense is heroic.” Medical Veritas, wherein Dr. Wakefield published a 2006 follow-up study to his 1998 report in The Lancet, is “one of the few remaining journals that places emphasis on the health interests of individuals rather than [the pursuit of] profits.” Vaccinations linked to spontaneous abortions “The current climate of vaccine science is very controversial,” said Eileen Dannemann. In recent months, the Director of the National Coalition of Organized Women (http://www.progressiveconvergence.com) collected and analyzed data of spontaneous abortions following injections of H1N1 vaccines into pregnant women. “The information that people are given by vaccine authorities, and through the media,” Dannemann insists, “is inconsistent with the safety studies conducted that lack placebo controls and long-term surveillance of adverse reactions to these vaccinations.” Contrary to the PharmaMedia’s propaganda character-assassinating Dr. Wakefield, he is not the only scientist concerned about vaccinations causing deadly side effects. In recent days, a new study from The Center for Modeling Optimal Outcomes in New Jersey published, “If it hadn’t been for so many parents insisting that vaccines were responsible for the condition [of autism], we might never have found the fact that the stabilizer in MMR, and a few other vaccines, is hydrolyzed gelatin — a substance that is approximately 21% glycine. It appears that, based on readily verifiable science, the use of that form of glycine triggers an imbalance between the amino acid neurotransmitters responsible for the absorption rate of certain classes of cells throughout the body. It is that wide-spread disruption that apparently results in the systemic problems that encompass the mind and the body characterized in today’s ‘classic’ autism.” (http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/scientific-link-to-autism-identified-70354482.html) Special note to journalists There is a courtesy copy of Medical Veritas, available free for online review for only 2 more weeks (http://web.mac.com/len15/PHARMAGANDA__A_Study_of_Conflicting_Interests/Leonard_G._Horowitz_and_Sherri_Kane.html) — including Dr. Horowitz’s commentary and links to “PHARMAGANDA: A Study of Conflicting Interests.” After February 15, 2010, there will be a $35 charge for accessing the Medical Veritasjournal via PDF downloads, with individual articles in this issue available for separate purchase at $15 per download, including Dr. Harold Buttram’s important article on the future of human DNA corrupted by the mutagenic viral injections accompanying childhood vaccinations. Please help alert medical doctors about this report, and this free limited time access. Medical doctors and patients must be informed that their intelligence has been tainted by pharmaceutical special interests. This publication contains urgent life-saving knowledge.
