The U.S. CDC: A Sock Puppet for the Industry and Hopelessly Corrupt

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., an attorney-at-law, author, and vaccine investigator, spoke before the New Jersey State legislature regarding the oppressive bill that was introduced to do away with religious exemptions for mandatory vaccinations for children in that state. However, before Kennedy’s presentation, he addressed the media with a dissertation that everyone in the USA needs to hear, especially every legislative body at any level of governance and, particularly, regulatory agencies dealing with health, healthcare and vaccines/vaccinations.
Kennedy explained that he is not against vaccinations per se, and his six children all are vaccinated. His vaccine research began because of his work with educating about mercury contamination from coal burning power plants. At the lectures he would give, mothers would tell him about mercury being injected into their children via vaccines, and that he should investigate what that mercury does to kids, since many of them told of their children’s health problems after being vaccinated.
That was the beginning of his research, which ended in his book, Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak.
As a result of all the research his team did, he came to the conclusion the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “is a cesspool of corruption” and a “sock puppet” for the trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry! As matter of fact, these are his exact words: "a troubled agency, in fact, a cesspool of corruption." It’s pervasive and “hopelessly corrupt and dysfunctional.” Based upon that, Kennedy contends that no one should be mandated to take vaccines because the science cannot be trusted.

Furthermore, Kennedy says, “Today, there are 271 new vaccines in CDC's pipeline . . . awaiting approval to be put on the schedule, and each one of those new vaccines could mean upwards of a billion dollars to the companies that own the patents. And Paul Offit has said that he believes that children can get as many as 10,000 vaccines safely. There's never been a study by the CDC of the cumulative impact of these vaccines.”
Kennedy went on to point out that there have been four federal studies done in 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2014 that all pointed out how dysfunctional the CDC truly is, but nothing is done about it! However, he does connect some of the dots when he points to “follow the money.”
According to Kennedy,

It [vaccine pharmaceutical industry] contributes $2.6 billions a year in lobbying--twice what oil and gas spends. . . . It gives $31 million a year to federal political candidates. . . . The regulatory agency has been undermined. The CDC today, because of these financial conflicts, is a sock puppet for the industry it's supposed to regulate. [CJF emphasis added]

One issue he bats out of the ballpark, I think, is when he accuses the media, who were present, of not reporting on vaccine issues. I applauded when I heard those comments. This is what made me cheer:

And then of course, you have the press. . . . The pharmaceutical industry, I believe, is the number one advertiser. The pharmaceutical industry spends between 3.4 and 5.4 billion dollars annually on TV, newspaper and radio advertising. It's the number one advertiser. It targets the network news division. It's the number one advertiser on network news. And what I've seen is that time and time again is that these stories do not ever make it into the newspapers and they do not make it onto the national press because of some other considerations.

The pharmaceutical industry has a very good scare tactic which is, if you say anything bad about the CDC vaccine program or you question the safety of vaccines, people will stop vaccinating and children will die. So. . . journalists, and news divisions and editors often times will listen to that ,and sometimes they're looking at the cash that's coming in, but they will not run these stories. And in the long run, that's a big problem because Americans are reading the science anyway, even if you guys aren't reporting it. [CJF emphasis added]

As an aside, scare tactics were used by Big Pharma to get the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-660) enacted. They threatened to stop making vaccines, if they didn’t get their “get out of jail free card.” Congress caved and U.S. children have suffered untold horrors from vaccines and vaccinations ever since.
Kennedy talks about the CDC’s epidemiologist Verstraeten’s 2000 study that found a correlation between mercury and autism, but was reworked to ‘prove’ there was no connection between mercury in vaccines and ASD; the CDC’s Bill Thompson, PhD, nightmare embarrassment wherein he names names as to who ordered the lies at CDC: Frank DeStefano and the former head of the CDC, Julie Gerberding! Kennedy says that Thompson has 100,000 pages of damning documents and wants to testify before Congress. He also cites the MMR vaccine mumps active efficacy ratings fudged for years and about which Merck & Company apparently lied to keep that vaccine’s license, according to two whistleblowers and a lawsuit.
Kennedy tells the cold, hard factual facts about vaccine science and politics. All those members of the U.S. House of Representatives who signed onto House Resolution 117 ought to be made to listen to Kennedy’s explanation of the science that was uncovered and to the constitutional attorney who followed him. Plus, retract that asinine resolution!
Here is the video of that outstanding presentation by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
At 34 on the timeline, the Constitutional issues with any bill/law doing away with the religious exemption to vaccines/vaccinations are discussed. It’s an entanglement with religion that is unconstitutional. It amounts to a deprivation of due process, and as the attorney said, a “trifecta of violations” impacting fundamental human and constitutional rights!
Sue Collins, an activist, made remarks that religious freedom is paramount. However, the only religion that the bill will allow is pharmaceutical religion, which pharmaceutical companies dictate. She further emphasized that everyone not follow the only religion the pharmaceutical industry will allow citizens to practice—Pharma’s idea of religion.

Family Refuses Police ‘Hush Money’ after Son with Down Syndrome Beaten

FAMILY REFUSES POLICE ‘HUSH MONEY’ AFTER SON WITH DOWN SYNDROME BEATEN

Family demands reform over cash

---

We have reported on the despicable actions of San Diego Sheriff’s Deputy, Jeffrey Guy and his long history of excessive force accusations many times now, here at The Free Thought Project.

Guy rose to brutality infamy after he beat and pepper sprayed 22-year-old Antonio Martinez, a man with down syndrome and the mental capacity of a 7-year-old.  Despite admitting under oath that he had no reasonable suspicion to believe Martinez was ever involved in a crime, he still says he would do it all over again today.  The case is now about to head to trial.

The Martinez family previously stated that they would be willing to settle out of court under three conditions.  They wanted the department to apologize, release their policy on dealing with the mentally disabled, and have Deputy Guy volunteer for the Special Olympics.  The department so far has rejected these simple conditions.

The incident began when the 4’11” Martinez was walking to his family’s bakery on Dec. 20, 2012.  Guy yelled at him to stop, simply because the young man was wearing a black hoodie.  When Martinez did not stop, Deputy Guy became angry at him for “exercising his constitutional right not to stop for a consensual detention,” the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit continues on to say that the deputy “looked Tony in the face and then unloaded a canister of highly irritating pepper spray into Tony’s face and eyes,” beat him with a weighted baton, slammed his face into the pavement and cuffed him.  While the beating was taking place, Martinez’ sisters were screaming at the officer that their brother has down syndrome, unsuccessfully attempting to appeal to the officer’s humanity- something that he clearly lacks.

After Martinez was handcuffed, other deputies jumped in, and Martinez was taken to the hospital, detained, and then jailed for 5 hours; essentially kidnapped.  He was charged with resisting arrest despite the fact that there was no reason to stop him in the first place.  Deputy guy testified that this was necessary to “document” the incident.

The family was reportedly offered an unknown but “substantial amount” to settle and quiet down, but they are determined to cause change and opted to go to trial in an attempt to force reform.

The Martinez family is open to a settlement “if they cooperate with us and show us what changes they will make,” Jude Basile who is representing the Martinez’ told U-T San Diego.

In response to the incident, the department reportedly “issued a bulletin” for deputies who encounter the mentally ill.  It is unknown how the magical bulletin can replace the training provided in Crisis Intervention Training, a course which should be mandatory for all officers to learn how to de-escalate situations.

The department also maintains that this is not a systemic issue.  A search for the words “mentally ill” will provide a basis for a good argument against their statement.

Family demands reform over cash.

New Ford Will Make You Obey Speed Limit

The Whitehouse’s New Executive Order On Cyber Crime is (Unfortunately) No Joke

 

Nadia Kayyali and Kurt Opsahl
Activist Post
On the morning of April 1st, the Whitehouse issued a new executive order (EO) that asserts that malicious “cyber-enabled activities” are a national threat, declares a national emergency, and establishes sanctions and other consequences for individuals and entities. While computer and information security is certainly very important, this EO could dangerously backfire, and chill the very security research that is necessary to protect people from malicious attacks.
We wish we could say it was a very well-orchestrated April Fool’s joke, but it appears the Whitehouse was serious. The order is yet another example of bad responses to very real security concerns. It comes at the same time as Congress is considering the White House’s proposal for fundamentally flawed cybersecurity legislation.
That perhaps shouldn’t be surprising, since so far, D.C.’s approach to cybersecurity hasn’t encouraged better security through a better understanding of the threats we face (something security experts internationally have pointed out is necessary). Instead of encouraging critical security research into vulnerabilities, or creating a better way to disclose vulnerabilities, this order could actually discourage that research.
The most pernicious provision, Section 1(ii)(B), allows the Secretary of the Treasury, “in consultation with” the Attorney General and Secretary of State, to make a determination that an person or entity has “materially … provided … technological support for, or goods or services in support of any” of these malicious attacks.

While that may sound good on its face, the fact is that the order is dangerously overbroad. That’s because tools that can be used for malicious attacks are also vital for defense. For example, penetration testing is the process of attempting to gain access to computer systems, without credentials like a username. It’s a vital step in finding system vulnerabilities and fixing them before malicious attackers do. Security researchers often publish tools, and provide support for them, to help with this testing. Could the EO be used to issue sanctions against security researchers who make and distribute these tools? On its face, the answer is…maybe.
To be sure, President Obama has said that “this executive order [does not] target the legitimate cybersecurity research community or professionals who help companies improve their cybersecurity.” But assurances like this are not enough. Essentially, with these words, Obama asks us to trust the Executive, without substantial oversight, to be able to make decisions about the property and rights of people who may not have much recourse once that decision has been made, and who may well not get prior notice before the hammer comes down. Unfortunately, the Department of Justice has used anti-hacking laws far too aggressively to gain that trust.
As several security researchers who spoke up against similarly problematic terms in the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act recently pointed out in an amicus brief:

There are relatively few sources of pressure to fix design defects, whether they be in wiring, websites, or cars. The government is not set up to test every possible product or website for defects before its release, nor should it be; in addition, those defects in electronic systems that might be uncovered by the government (for instance, during an unrelated investigation) are often not released, due to internal policies. Findings by industry groups are often kept quiet, under the assumption that such defects will never come to light—just as in Grimshaw (the Ford Pinto case). The part of society that consistently serves the public interest by finding and publicizing defects that will harm consumers is the external consumer safety research community, whether those defects be in consumer products or consumer websites.

It’s clear that security researchers play an essential function. It was researchers (not the government) who discovered and conscientiously spread the news about Heartbleed, Shellshock, and POODLE, three major vulnerabilities discovered in 2014. Those researchers should not have to question whether or not they will be subject to sanctions.
To make matters worse, while most of the provisions specify that they apply to activity taking place outside of or mostly outside of the US, Section 1(ii)(B) has no such limitation. We have concerns about how the order applies to everyone. But this section also brings up constitutional due process concerns. That is, if it were to apply to people protected by the U.S. Constitution, it could violate the Fifth Amendment right to due process.
As we’ve had to point out repeatedly in the discussions about reforming the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, unclear laws, prosecutorial (or in this case, Executive Branch) discretion, coupled with draconian penalties are not the answer to computer crime.

Taking Back Their Power from Smart Meters in Pennsylvania

 

Catherine J. Frompovich
Activist Post
In 2008 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Legislative body passed, and then-Governor Ed Rendell signed into Pennsylvania Law – PA HB2200, which became Act 129 of 2008. That unethical and vested-interest law mandated AMI Smart Meters (SMs) replace perfectly safe analog meters on all residences with utility companies servicing 100,000 customers.
However, that bill/law is flawed legally insofar as it does not provide an Opt-out from Smart Meters, which are fire hazards [1, 2, 3] as confirmed by numerous house fires caused by SMs around the USA. For those who doubt SMs cause house fires, here’s a link to more SM house fire photographs than you may want to see or know about. In reference 3 above, a man in Texas was killed by a SM-started house fire!
Plus, SMs are hazardous to human health from the radiofrequency (RF) non-ionizing radiation they emit into each household, in effect creating what some consider a ‘microwave oven like’ environment to live in creating adverse health effects.
Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs are serviced by PECO, an Exelon Company, who now is sending out shut off notices to homeowners who refuse/decline/deny access to replacing the analog meters with SMs. The irony of all the shut off notices is that those customers receiving them have no unpaid electric bills! They feel it’s time for pushback.
However, numerous members of both chambers of the Pennsylvania legislature apparently recognized the inequities of Act 129 and have introduced various bills to amend it so that there are opt-out provisions and people will not have to suffer RF health problems or live in fear of their houses going up in flames from SM-ignited fires.
One very stubborn opposition to the democratic process of redress is that PA State Representative Robert W Godshall, who chairs the committee where past and current opt-out bills were/are lodged for a vote, decided to sit on those bills; never calls them for a vote; and allowed former bills to become “sine die” at the end of the last legislative session.

It seems that Pennsylvanians who have contacted me are getting pretty upset and pushback will begin in more ways than before. Today I received a Press Release from PASMA, which is self-explanatory. Pennsylvanians must have opt-outs from Smart Meters, as is provided—and the law—in other states.

Pennsylvania Smart Meter Awareness * PASMA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 4-7-15

Contact: Tom McCarey
Telephone: 610-687-7607
Email: tom_mccarey@runbox.com

PASMA CALLS FOR PA REP ROBT GODSHALL TO RELEASE SMART METER OPT-OUT BILLS FOR COMMITTEE MEMBERS VOTES OR TO RESIGN

PA State Rep Robert W Godshall, of the 53rd legislative district, Hatfield, PA, chairs the PA House Consumer Affairs Committee where, currently, another round of 4 bills reside that will correct the inequities and real-time health problems created by PA HB 2200 signed into law as Act 129 of 2008, which required new technology meters, aka Smart Meters (SMs), to be installed on all dwellings in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania where utilities service 100,000 customers or more by the year 2023.
Act 129 is an illegal act insofar as it creates fire hazards on buildings due to SMs, which can explode, catch fire, and/or smolder, as documented by numerous local fire companies. Furthermore, Act 129 does not provide for warning or safety devices to forewarn customers of impending SM fire, as smoke alarms do inside houses, thereby leaving residents living in constant fear of SMs.
Additionally and equally frightening, is the fact that SMs emit RF non-ionizing radiation into buildings and dwellings, which are causing numerous documented real-time health problems, especially for PECO customers in the metropolitan Philadelphia area.

PASMA has heard from numerous Pennsylvanians, who also experience strange health problems since SMs were mandatorily installed replacing their former analog meters.
Since Act 129 originally was written with NO opt-out provisions, Pennsylvania state legislators introduced several bills in previous legislative sessions to provide “opt-outs” that utility customers in other states have, and which Pennsylvanians desperately need. In the legislative session that ended November 30, 2014, 3 bills to provide corrective measures to Act 129 deliberately were sat on and allowed to go “sine die” because Consumer Affairs Committee Chair Godshall would not release those bills for a vote! That cannot be allowed to happen in the current legislative session, as Pennsylvanians have the right of redress regarding SM problems, and their legislative representatives need to participate in voting on those bills in committee!
Pennsylvania Smart Meter Awareness demands Rep Godsahll call the current SM bills Nos. HB393, HB394, HB395 and HB396 for a vote by June 1, 2015, or RESIGN. Rep Godshall’s previous stalling of Act 129 corrective bills is indicative of his “strong arm” governance tactics, possible collusion with utility lobbyists, and a definite indication that he has not been working to ensure consumer protection, consumers’ rights to be informed, or safe in their lives and homes.

The Toronto Symphony Orchestra has cancelled several shows by pianist Valentina Lisitsa stating that there were "ongoing accusations of deeply offensive language." As Dan Dicks states in this video "The Western Leftist PC Establishment is making it clear: if your opinion falls outside our parameters of approval, then you are a non-person. Ridiculed, shouted at and forgotten.... Just like the old USSR, you will be judged based on your obedience, then your skill or talent."

What The Cure Cancer Cult Isn’t Telling You

 

By James Corbett
Cancer rates continue to skyrocket across the globe...but don't worry! According to the cult of the cancer cure, that's a good thing! Do you ever wonder why the foundation-funded research industry and its Fortune 500 corporate members never want you to examine the causes of this rise in cancer? Well wonder no more as James Corbett shines some light on the carcinogenic chemicals that are increasingly polluting our environment thanks to the same Big Ag / Big Pharma / Big Foundation cronies who are pushing the slash-and-burn "cure" research in the first place.

The Empire Strikes Back as Rand Takes on the Establishment

Our Secure Drop System for Leaks Now Uses HTTPS

Our SecureDrop System for Leaks Now Uses HTTPS 

We’re happy to announce that sources can now access our SecureDrop document-submission website using HTTPS. Although SecureDrop connections were already encrypted previously, our new setup provides leakers with additional assurance that they are connecting with the authentic Intercept SecureDrop and not an impostor.

You can visit our SecureDrop server by pointing the Tor Browser here: https://y6xjgkgwj47us5ca.onion/

SecureDrop runs as a “hidden service” within the anonymous web network Tor. A hidden service is a special kind of server that is only accessible through Tor and has a domain name ending in .onion (Tor was originally called The Onion Router because it works by creating layers upon layers of encryption to hide users’ IP addresses).

The Intercept’s SecureDrop installation is only the third Tor hidden service to receive a browser-trusted HTTPS certificate, following Facebook and the Bitcoin website Blockchain.info. HTTPS provides two things: Confidentiality — data shared between web browsers and HTTPS websites is encrypted — and authentication — web browsers can verify that they’re visiting the website the user thinks they’re visiting. Authentication helps prevent man-in-the-middle attacks, which occur when an attacker entices someone to open an encrypted connection to the attacker’s server by impersonating the real server.

Even without HTTPS, the connection between Tor Browser and our SecureDrop hidden service was already encrypted. Adding HTTPS provides a second redundant layer of encryption, and it also adds authentication. So if a source finds herself visiting a SecureDrop website that looks like it belongs to The Intercept, she can inspect our SSL certificate to confirm that it actually belongs to us and isn’t a honeypot posing as our SecureDrop website — or at least confirm that this is the case according to DigiCert, the certificate authority that issued our SSL certificate.

The future of combining HTTPS and the .onion top-level domain is uncertain because .onion is not an officially recognized top-level domain. But the gears are in motion to get .onion recognized as a “Special-Use Domain Name.” We won’t know for sure if we get to keep our SSL certificate until the Internet Engineering Steering Group agrees on whether or not to make .onion a standard, a decision slated to be made in October.

Until then, our sources can enjoy this extra layer of protection when they communicate with us through SecureDrop.
