12-1 The Gary Null Show - Wikipedia’s Vaccine Propaganda Regime

During the past year there has been a deliberate assault on medical sanity by the Silicon Valley’s internet giants and popular social media platforms to abolish and censor voices and websites challenging the orthodoxy of the CDC’s vaccination policies. Last March, the American Medical Association’s CEO James Madara sent personal letters to the heads of Amazon, Facebook Google, Pinterest, Twitter and YouTube “to do your part to ensure that users have access to scientifically valid information on vaccinations, so they can make informed decisions about their families’ health. We also urge you to make public your plans to ensure that users have access to accurate, timely, scientifically sound information on vaccines.” For the AMA, “valid information” simply means that vaccines are completely safe and effective and the only means at civilization’s disposal for combating infectious diseases…

2-3 The Gary Null Show - A Slow Death by 5G Wireless Technology & Jeffrey Epstein, the British VIP Pedophile Ring

During the past year, Senate hearings leading up to the roll out of 5G wireless technology have made it quite clear that the race to capture first prize in the Internet of Things has little do to with popular consumer demands for improved internet access. Being called the fourth industrial revolution, the hype is that 5G will provide internet speeds up to one hundred times faster than 4G. Yet aside from the idealized and perhaps hyperbolic benefits of faster internet connections and downloads, 5G is best understood within the context of the US’ competitive race against China to establish global wireless dominance. The Obama administration’s FCC, under the influence of the telecommunication industry’s insider Tom Wheeler, who served as the chair of the agency, launched the Spectrum Frontiers rules to mandate the 5G rollout as a “national priority.” Therefore, rather than the fundamental incentive to improve the lives of citizens, more important is 5G’s role to reinforce American global economic expansionism and military hegemony. For past presidents, and Trump in particular, economic figures hold all-consuming importance. One estimate claims 5G will bring over $12 trillion into the global economy, about $3.5 trillion in the US while providing 22 million new jobs. While 5G surely holds the promise of a huge windfall for the economy, these benefits will be eventually be neutralized by medical and environmental catastrophes…

3-4 The Gary Null Show The Quake to Make Los Angeles a Radioactive Dead Zone

By Harvey Wasserman, Reader Supported News

06 July 19

We are THIS CLOSE to an unimaginable apocalyptic horror:

Had Friday’s 7.1 earthquake and other ongoing seismic shocks hit less than 200 miles northwest of Ridgecrest/China Lake, ten million people in Los Angeles would now be under an apocalyptic cloud, their lives and those of the state and nation in radioactive ruin.

The likely human death toll would be in the millions. The likely property loss would be in the trillions. The forever damage to our species’ food supply, ecological support systems, and longterm economy would be very far beyond any meaningful calculation. The threat to the ability of the human race to survive on this planet would be extremely significant.

The two cracked, embrittled, under-maintained, unregulated, uninsured, and un-inspected atomic reactors at Diablo Canyon, near San Luis Obispo, would be a seething radioactive ruin.

Their cores would be melting into the ground. Hydrogen explosions would be blasting the site to deadly dust. One or both melted cores would have burned into the earth and hit ground or ocean water, causing massive steam explosions with physical impacts in the range of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The huge clouds would send murderous radioactive isotopes into the atmosphere that would permanently poison the land, the oceans, the air … and circle the globe again and again, and yet again, filling the lungs of billions of living things with the most potent poisons humans have ever created.

In 2010, badly maintained gas pipes run by Pacific Gas & Electric blew up a neighborhood in San Bruno, killing eight people. PG&E’s badly maintained power lines have helped torch much of northern California, killing 80 people and incinerating more than 10,000 structures.

Now in bankruptcy, with its third president in two years, PG&E is utterly unqualified to run two large, old, obsolete, crumbling atomic reactors which are surrounded by earthquake faults. At least a dozen faults have been identified within a small radius around the reactors. The reactor cores are less than fifty miles from the San Andreas fault, less than half the distance that Fukushima Daiichi was from the epicenter that destroyed four reactors there.

Diablo cannot withstand an earthquake of the magnitude now hitting less than 200 miles away. In 2014, the Associated Press reported that Dr. Michael Peck, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s site inspector at Diablo, had warned that the two reactors should be shut because they can’t withstand a seismic shock like the one that has just hit so close. The NRC tried to bury Peck’s report. They attacked his findings, then shipped him to Tennessee. He’s no longer with the Commission.

All major reactor disasters have come with early warnings. A 1978 accident at Ohio’s Davis-Besse reactor presaged the 1979 disaster at Three Mile Island. The realities were hidden, and TMI spewed radiation that killed local people and animals in droves.

Soviet officials knew the emergency shut-down mechanism at Chernobyl could cause an explosion — but kept it secret. Unit Four exploded the instant the rods meant to shut it down were deployed.

Decades before disaster struck at Fukushima Daiichi, millions of Japanese citizens marched to demand atomic reactors NOT be built in a zone riddled by fault lines, washed by tsunamis.

In California, ten thousand citizens were arrested demanding the same. Diablo’s owners hid the existence of the Hosgri Fault just three miles from the site. A dozen more nearby fault lines have since been found, capable in tandem of delivering shocks like the ones shaking Ridgecrest. No significant structural improvements have been made to deal with the newfound fault lines.

The truly horrifying HBO series on Chernobyl currently topping all historic viewership charts shows just a small sample of the ghastly death and destruction that can be caused by official corruption and neglect.

Like Soviet apparatchiks, the state of California has refused to conduct independent investigations on the physical status of the two Diablo reactors. It has refused to hold public hearings on Dr. Peck’s warnings that they can’t withstand seismic shocks like the ones now being experienced so dangerously nearby. If there are realistic plans to evacuate Los Angeles and other downwind areas during reactor melt-downs/explosions, hearings on them have yet to be held.

In the wake of the 2011 explosions at Fukushima, the NRC staff compiled critical reforms for American reactors, including Diablo. But the Commission killed the proposed regulations. So nothing significant has been done to improve safety at two coastal reactors upwind of ten million people that are surrounded by earthquake faults in a tsunami zone like the one where the four Fukushima reactors have already exploded.

There are no excuses. These seismic shocks will never stop. Diablo is scheduled to shut in 2024 and 2025. But massive advances in wind, solar, batteries and efficiency have already rendered the nukes’ power unnecessary. A petition demanding Governor Newsom and the state independently investigate Diablo’s ability to operate safely is at www.solartopia.org.

That petition began circulating before these latest quakes. The continued operation of these two reactors has now gone to a whole new level of apocalyptic insanity.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, JULY 17

12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #1073 - FTR #1073 Azov on Our Mind: Ukrainian Fascism Extends Its Tentacles (Return of the Prodigal “Black Sun”)

We have covered the origin, activities and expansion of the Ukrainian Nazi Azov Battalion in numerous programs. Part of the Ukrainain armed forces, this Nazi unit:

1.-Has spawned a civil militia which achieved police powers in many Ukrainian cities. ". . . . But Ukraine observers and rights groups are sounding the alarm, because this was not a typical commencement, and the men are not police officers. They are far-right ultranationalists from the Azov movement, a controversial group with a military wing that has openly accepted self-avowed neo-Nazis, and a civil and political faction that has demonstrated intolerance toward minority groups. . . ."

2.--Has as its spokesman Roman Zvarych. In the 1980's, Zvarych was the personal secretary to Jaroslav Stetzko, the wartime head of the Nazi collaborationist government in Ukraine. Stetzko implemented Nazi ethnic cleansing in Ukraine during World War II.

3.--Wields influence with in the Ministry of the Interior through Vadim Troyan, the former deputy commander of Azov who is now deputy minister of the interior. " . . . . The deputy minister of the Interior—which controls the National Police—is Vadim Troyan, a veteran of Azov and Patriot of Ukraine. . . . Today, he’s deputy of the department running US-trained law enforcement in the entire nation. Earlier this month, RFE reported on National Police leadership admiring Stepan Bandera—a Nazi collaborator and Fascist whose troops participated in the Holocaust—on social media. The fact that Ukraine’s police is peppered with far-right supporters explains why neo-Nazis operate with impunity on the streets. . . ."

3.--Gets arms and training from the U.S., despite official restrictions on such activity. " . . . . The research group Bellingcat proved that Azov had already received access to American grenade launchers, while a Daily Beast investigation showed that US trainers are unable to prevent aid from reaching white supremacists. And Azov itself had proudly posted a video of the unit welcoming NATO representatives. . . ."

4.--Is fulfilling their strategy of networking with Nazi and fascist elements abroad, including the U.S. " . . . . FBI Special Agent Scott Bierwirth, in the criminal complaint unsealed Wednesday, noted that Right Brand Clothing’s Instagram page contained a photo of RAM members meeting with Olena Semenyaka, a leading figure within the fascist, neo-Nazi scene in Eastern Europe. In Ukraine, Semenyaka is an important voice within the Militant Zone and National Corps organizations and the Pan-European Reconquista movement, all of which have ties to the notorious Azov Battalion. Bierwirth said Azov Battalion, now a piece of the Ukrainian National Guard, is known for neo-Nazi symbolism and ideology and has participated in training and radicalizing U.S.-based white supremacist organizations. . . . ."

5.--Is networking with members of a group called RAM, some of whom were arrested by the FBI upon their return from Europe. violence.

6.--Is utilizing Ukraine's visa-free status with the EU to network with other European fascist groups. " . . . . 'Their English has gotten better,' Hrytsenko said, referring to Azov members behind the group’s Western outreach. . . . . Another thing that has helped, Hrytsenko noted, is that Ukraine’s break from Russia and move toward the European Union has allowed Ukrainians visa-free travel, making Azov’s outreach easier logistically. . . . ."

7.--Is looking to connect with more "respectable" European right-wing groups than they have in the past, this as a possible vehicle for Ukraine's entry into the EU. " . . . . Skillt, the Swedish national who fought as a sniper in the Azov Battalion, is one of them [critics]. 'I don’t mind [Azov] reaching out, but the ones they reach out to… Jesus,' he told RFE/RL, in an allusion to RAM. He added that he had recently distanced himself from Azov because of that association and others with far-right groups in Europe. Skillt, who runs a private intelligence agency in Kyiv and said his clients 'really don’t enjoy bad company,' argued that the group has made a mistake by not reaching out more to right-wing conservatives who could help with 'influential contacts in Europe [so] you don’t get branded a neo-Nazi.' But Semenyaka described praise of Azov from foreign ultranationalist groups who are increasingly welcoming it as evidence that the organization is taking the right path. And she said it isn’t about to let up. Next, she said, Azov hopes to win over larger, more mainstream far-right and populist Western political forces who 'can be our potential sympathizers.' 'If crises like Brexit and the refugee problem continue, in this case, partnerships with nationalist groups in Europe can be a kind of platform for our entry into the European Union.' . . . "

8.--Was awarded the job of election monitoring by the Ukrainian government in their recent elections. " . . . . They are the ultranationalist National Militia, street vigilantes with roots in the battle-tested Azov Battalion that emerged to defend Ukraine against Russia-backed separatists but was also accused of possible war crimes and neo-Nazi sympathies. Yet despite the controversy surrounding it, the National Militia was granted permission by the Central Election Commission to officially monitor Ukraine’s presidential election on March 31. . . ."

Supplementing discussion about the Azov milieu networking with foreign fascists, we note that alleged Christchurch, New Zealand, shooter Brent Tarrant had apparently networked with Azov during a visit to Ukraine:

1.--Brent Tarrant, allege Christchurch, New Zealand, Mosque shooter, had apparently visited Ukraine. " . . . . His manifesto alludes to visits to Poland, Ukraine, Iceland and Argentina as well. . . ."

2.--Tarrant may have been a beneficiary of the aforementioned visa-free travel that EU association has for Ukraine. ". . . . Three quarters of them say the country is headed in the wrong direction, despite the fact that Ukraine has moved closer to Europe (it now has visa-free travel to the EU, for instance). . . ."

3.--Even "The New York Times" noted the possible contact between Azov and Tarrant. ". . . . The Ukrainian far right also appears to have ties in other countries. Australian Brenton Tarrant, accused of slaughtering 50 people at two mosques in the city of Christchurch in New Zealand, mentioned a visit to Ukraine in his manifesto, and some reports alleged that he had contacts with the ultra-right. The Soufan Center, a research group specializing on security, has recently alleged possible links between Tarrant and the Azov Battalion. . . ."

4.--A private intelligence group--the Soufan Center--has linked Tarrant to the Azov Battalion. " . . . . .In the wake of the New Zealand mosque attacks, links have emerged between the shooter, Brent Tarrant, and a Ukrainian ultra-nationalist, white supremacist paramilitary organization called the Azov Battalion. Tarrant’s manifesto alleges that he visited the country during his many travels abroad, and the flak jacket that Tarrant wore during the assault featured a symbol commonly used by the Azov Battalion. . . ."

1-2 Todd Chretien, “Red October: The Russian Revolution”

The upheaval and regime change in Russia in 1917 “shook the world” in the words of journalist John Reed. In place of the feudal czarist monarchy came radical revolutionaries. A civil war ensued pitting former regime elements against the communists. In addition, a number of countries, including the U.S., Britain and France didn’t like what they saw and heard from Lenin, Trotsky and the other Bolshevik leaders. They invaded Russia in an attempt to destroy the revolution and bring back the old order. Churchill said the Russian Revolution must be “strangled in its cradle.” They didn’t succeed. A few years after Lenin’s death in 1924, Stalin takes over the country. His rivals are sent into exile, jailed or killed. The dictatorship calcifies. In 1991 the Soviet Union ends. The centenary of the revolution has sparked renewed interest in its history.

Todd Chretien is a member of the International Socialist Organization and is a frequent contributor to Socialist Worker and the International Socialist Review. He is the editor of Eyewitnesses to the Russian Revolution.

Winona LaDuke “Native American Eco-Justice”

Program #LADW008. Recorded in University of Montana, Missoula, MT on February 26, 2019.

Eduardo Galeano in his masterwork, The Open Veins of Latin America wrote that 500 years ago European settler colonialists came to this hemisphere and “sank their teeth” into the throats of Indian civilizations. You know the story. Genocide. Land was stolen. Broken promises and broken treaties. Survivors exiled to inhospitable reservations. In recent years indigenous people are organizing and asserting their rights. Standing Rock in North Dakota was a key moment where some 200 nations came together to resist the Keystone XL pipeline. New terms entered the lexicon of resistance such as water protectors and stewards of the land. Keystone and other struggles continue as does corporate capitalism’s monomaniacal drive for profits regardless of the cost to Mother Nature and indigenous peoples. Chief Seattle once said, “The Earth does not belong to us; we belong to the Earth.”

Speaker

Winona LaDuke is a brilliant and articulate representative of indigenous perspectives. At the age of seventeen she spoke at the UN on behalf of Native Americans. She is a founding member of Women of All Red Nations and director of the Land Recovery Project on the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota. She was the 1996 and 2000 vice-presidential candidate of the Green Party, the first Native American to run for national office. She is the author of 'All Our Relations,' 'Recovering the Sacred,' 'The Militarization of Indian Country' and 'The Winona LaDuke Chronicles.'

4th of July Special (and beyond)

The Gary Null Show is here to inform you on the best news in health, healing, the environment. Pro Vax doctor lays bare how he came to lay his own ego down to see the ugly truth, that vaccines were harming his patients. He also lays bare the vaccine bonus compensation program of Big Pharma and lays down some more truth. Some observations on the current swine flu ‘crisis’: – It’s a global reprise of the US 1976 phony swine flu panic; – Just as happened in 1976, the virus is not a significant threat having very low morbility and mortality rates. And, even if it mutates into something more dangerous, the most reasonable scenario to be expected is a flu pandemic like the ones in the 60s and 70s, which, although being lethal to many, were also easily controllable, and quickly faded away. As a matter of fact, flu viruses have never been the kind of monstrous threat that is now being sold to the public. The only exception to that was the 1918/1919 pandemic which, of course, had an ideal context for lethality: the trenches of WWI Western Front and the terrible sanitary and nutrition conditions of post-WWI Europe and America, particularly among soldiers, which were the main incubators for the flu; – So, it’s on the basis of a virtuality that the public is now being terrorized, and made to comply, with the orgy of hysteria being promoted by intellectually bankrupt pseudo-scientists, aka, the fake pharma and govt. “experts” who are more interested in promoting dangerous untested vaccines than in *reality*;

12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #1072 - Doin' Wind Sprints with the Snake in Ukraine"

We proceed from our previous program with continued reading of an article about the rise of fascism in Ukraine that details the numerous, multi-faceted examples of the capture of Ukrainian society and government by the OUN/B successor organizations elevated to power through the Maidan coup.

* The elevation of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion that was formally incorporated into Ukraine’s armed forces yet remains a neo-Nazi battalion.
* Azov is now engaged in policing with its National Druzhina street patrol units that have engaged in anti-Roma pogroms
* Azov’s campaign to turn Ukraine into an international hub of white supremacy
* Andriy Parubiy’s role in creating Ukraine’s Nazi Party that he continues to embrace and that’s routinely ignored as he has become the parliament speaker
* The deputy minister of the Interior—which controls the National Police—is a veteran of Azov, Vadim Troyan
* Government sponsorship of historical revisionism and holocaust denial though agencies like Ukrainian Institute of National Memory
* Torchlight parades are now normal
* Within several years, an entire generation will be indoctrinated to worship Holocaust perpetrators as national heroes
* Books that criticize the now-glorified WWII Nazi collaborators like Stepan Bandera are getting banned
* Public officials make threats against Ukraine’s Jewish community with no repercussions
* The neo-Nazi C14’s street patrol gangs are both responsible for anti-Roma pogroms and also the recipient of government funds to run a children’s educational camp. Last October, C14 leader Serhiy Bondar was welcomed at America House Kyiv, a center run by the US government
* It’s open season on the LGBT community and far right groups routinely attack LGBT gatherings
* Ukraine is extremely dangerous for journalists and the government has supported the doxxing and intimidation of journalist by the far right like Myrovorets group
* The government is trying to repeal laws protecting the many minority languages used in Ukraine

Yet, as the article notes at the end, its many examples were just a small sampling of what has transpired in Ukraine since 2014.

We have spoken repeatedly about the Nazi tract Serpent's Walk, in which the Third Reich goes underground, buys into the opinion-forming media and, eventually, takes over.

Hitler, the Third Reich and their actions are glorified and memorialized. The essence of the book is synopsized on the back cover:

"It assumes that Hitler's warrior elite - the SS - didn't give up their struggle for a White world when they lost the Second World War. Instead their survivors went underground and adopted some of their tactics of their enemies: they began building their economic muscle and buying into the opinion-forming media. A century after the war they are ready to challenge the democrats and Jews for the hearts and minds of White Americans, who have begun to have their fill of government-enforced multi-culturalism and 'equality.'"

Something analogous is happening in Ukraine and India.

In Ukraine, fascism in being remade as a heroic bulwark against communism and Russia. In India, it is being remade as a liberating anti-colonial, anti-imperial force.

1-2 Benjamin Hett “How Hitler Happened”

Program #HETB001. Recorded in New York, NY on October 19, 2018.

The post-WW1 Weimar Republic in Germany was the height of European civilization. Its scientists and scholars led the world. Its Bauhaus architecture was the rage. Its arts featured such luminaries as Fritz Lang, Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill and Thomas Mann. Yet, out of this modern democracy sprang Nazism, German fascism, and one of the most barbaric regimes ever. How did Hitler happen? It is one of the most important questions of history. What happened in Germany has disturbing resonances for our own time. Fascist-like regimes are taking power in many countries. We ignore disturbing signs at our peril from torchlight parades in Charlottesville with crowds chanting, “Jews Will Not Replace Us” to a synagogue massacre in Pittsburgh to the murder of African-Americans in a church in Charleston. What can we learn from the past to ensure it doesn’t happen again?

Speaker

Benjamin Hett is the author of Burning the Reichstag, Crossing Hitler and The Death of Democracy. He is a professor of history at Hunter College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, and holds a Ph.D. in history from Harvard and a law degree from the University of Toronto.

TUESDAY NIGHT, JULY 2

12-12:30 "Wikipedia's Vaccination Bias"

by Gary Null, PhD

The US, and indeed many other nations around the world, is witnessing a contentious debate about the safety and efficacy of vaccines.

The forces are lining up over whether vaccination should be mandated by government or whether citizens have civil rights and freedom of choice over medical interventions. A lesson can be learned from the earlier feminist movement who demanded recognition and respect for “my body, my choice” regarding abortion. Should women, therefore, and all other citizens be given similar rights to determine what is best for the health of themselves and their children? Unfortunately, the debate is failing to present all the available scientific evidence for careful independent review for health officials to make anything resembling a moral and sound scientific choice.

Nor is the media reporting on the debate accurately. The New York Times, Washington Post, all the major television networks, and news sites both left and right, simply embrace the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) talking points, which are none other than those espoused by the pharmaceutical industry. The irony is that the large majority of parents who challenge vaccine safety claims have experienced vaccination adverse effects, and even death, in their children. The frustration mounts when parents realize that the vaccine companies cannot be held legally accountable for damages.

The federal health agencies, notably the CDC, has a very pragmatic monetary incentive to reach high vaccination compliance.

Consequently, the agencies have a direct public-private relationship with the vaccine makers. The CDC owns many patents related to vaccines and their delivery. Corporations license these patents for their vaccine development and the CDC in turn reaps enormous financial rewards in royalties. Then in turn the government pushes forward with vaccine mandates. Questions as to whether approved vaccines are truly effective and safe takes a backseat.

Robert Kennedy Jr has called the CDC “a subsidiary of the pharmaceutical industry.” “The agency owns more than 20 vaccine patents and purchases and sells $4.1 billion in vaccines annually,” writes Kennedy.

“Congressman Dave Weldon has pointed out that the primary metric for success across the CDC is how many vaccines the agency sells and how successfully the agency expands its vaccine program—regardless of any negative effects on human health.”

By any measure of reason, this is a gross conflict of interest. In addition, all of the attorneys and pediatricians who have undertaken the research to find measurable concerns about vaccine mandates are now under attack by the apparatus of the state. Not a single mainstream health or science reporter has properly investigated this relationship to suggest ulterior motives for aggressively pushing forward mandates. All of the parent advocacy groups, including board certified pediatricians, are condemned as well. A Washington Post editorial suggests they be arrested, fined or imprisoned. In fact the WHO listed vaccine opponents as a danger to global public health. However, most people who today oppose vaccines were once pro-vaccine until an injury or death occurred in their families.

If a person wanted to learn about the efficacy and safety for any given vaccine on the CDC’s vaccination schedule, a Google search will take the inquirer to Wikipedia. For example, after a search for the measles vaccine, readers will find a crassly watered-down description on Wikipedia. Among the vaccine’s adverse effects, Wikipedia only mentions “fever, rash, injection site pain and, in rare cases, red or purple discolorations on the skin known as thrombocytopenic purpura, or seizures related to fever.” However, Merck’s own product inserts for its two leading MMR vaccines — ProQuad and MMRII — include pneumonia and respiratory infection, cellulitis, aseptic meningitis, anaphylaxis, necrotizing retinitis, nerve deafness, cerebrovascular accident or stroke, encephalitis, Guillain Barre syndrome, acute hemorrhagic edema, arthritis, diabetes, pancreatitis, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (a fatal brain disorder caused by exposure to the measles virus), and death. Moreover, a 2012 Cochrane Collaborative meta-analysis of 57 studies and clinical trials regarding MMR safety concluded that “the design and reporting of safety outcomes in MMR vaccine studies, both pre- and post-marketing, are largely inadequate.” By omitting this critical information from its pages, Wikipedia is engaging in a serious disservice by denying the public critical information to educate its users on life-and-death health issues. Why then do Wikipedia’s Skeptic editors censor or ignore these facts.

In most cases, Wikipedia users make the wrong assumption that the Wikipedia authors and editors on health issues have a convincing medical or scientific background, and that they have educated themselves about the peer-reviewed medical literature to assure accuracy. Unfortunately this supposition is flatly wrong, especially on the encyclopedia’s entries on genetically modified crops, natural and alternative health, and vaccines.

Perhaps the single most important person Wikipedia’s Skeptic editors rely upon for vaccine information is Dr. Paul Offit. Therefore, we should take a broader look at Offit’s career and past statements regarding vaccines to determine whether he is objective in his assessments or whether his credibility is compromised by conflicts of interest thereby making him an unreliable resource. Clearly, in the course of our review, Wikipedia is not objective, fair nor accurate in how it presents vaccination. Similarly, we believe neither is Offit.

Dr. Paul Offit is arguably America’s most public voice speaking on behalf of Big Pharma-supported efforts to legislate vaccine mandates and to remove philosophical and religious exemptions. He is the most cited and referenced physician in the mainstream media in its efforts to demonize those who challenge vaccines’ safety and efficacy, including millions of parents. For the numerous parents of vaccine-injured children and who oppose Offit, he is perhaps best known for uttering a statement that a child’s immune system could handle 10,000 vaccines. This statement is not only deceptively misleading but is likely very dangerous as the drug companies’ pipeline of new vaccines coming to the market continues to increase.

Offit is currently the director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and the holder of the Maurice Hilleman Chair of Vaccinology at the University of Pennsylvania. In the past, he has been a member of the CDC’s advisory committee on immunization and was a co-editor of the journal Vaccines.

He is also a prominent celebrity in the modern Skepticism movement, a faith-based rationalist ideology espousing scientific materialism, commonly known as Scientism. Offit has been a recipient of a major award by Skepticism’s flagship organization, the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, and it is not uncommon to find him speaking at Skeptic conferences or being interviewed in their journals, such as the Skeptic Inquirer. His work is also frequently referenced by Skeptic editors on Wikipedia as part of the encyclopedia’s campaign to smear, disparage and marginalize non-conventional medical therapies.

One common strategy federal health agencies and more aggressive proponents of mandatory vaccination rely upon is fear.

Offit is particularly skilled in turning fear away from vaccine risks in order to strengthen irrational and emotional fears about contracting an infectious disease such as flu, measles and pertussis or whooping cough. In a 2014 opinion essay Offit wrote for the Wall Street Journal, he associates the rise in infectious disease rates with what he calls “the anti-vaccination epidemic.” The article appeared at a time when there was an uptick in reported pertussis cases. Indeed, in 2010 California witnessed a upsurge in pertussis cases. The important question the entire media failed to ask was how many of these cases represent unvaccinated children. According to a survey conducted by Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in San Rafael, 81% of the patients surveyed were fully vaccinated with the complete series of shots, 11% had received at least one injection, leaving only 8% unvaccinated. Yet figures for the 2014 whooping cough outbreak should have forced Offit and the Skeptics to pause. Health officials in San Diego county where 621 cases of pertussis were confirmed, found that 85% were fully vaccinated and 11% were only partially immunized. The remaining 4% of infected persons were either unvaccinated or unknown. Later that same year Los Angeles county reported that only 8% of pertussis cases were among the unvaccinated. County health officials stated that this low number of unvaccinated persons is “not a significant factor in the spread of pertussis.” In 2012, Vermont had one of its largest pertussis increases. Here again, 90% of cases were among the vaccinated population. Somewhat similar findings hold for the failure of the flu and measles vaccines, and the high rate of mumps infections among populations of fully vaccinated children.

On no occasion have we found Offit making reference to an important observation that is today alarming many medical experts and health officials; that is, some vaccines’ effectiveness, particularly for mumps and pertussis, is waning. The World Health Organization has openly admitted that the pertussis vaccine no longer works and has recommended the development of a new vaccine to replace the ones currently in use. Several years ago, even the CDC acknowledged the pertussis vaccine, along with the flu and mumps vaccines, are the least effective. This means that large segments of the population, although vaccinated, are not immunized. With the increase in vaccine failures, this means that even with 100 percent vaccination compliance in a population, transmittable infections will continue.

If it is the case that more and more infectious outbreaks are occurring in groups of fully vaccinated individuals, then there can be no confirmatory scientific support for the argument that unvaccinated children and adults are the primary cause for recent surges in infectious diseases. Moreover, this ambiguity or uncertainty should lay to rest one of the major arguments voiced among the proponents of mandatory vaccine advocacy; that is, the need to reach herd immunity to eradicate infectious diseases.

We should also entertain suspicions about Offit as a reliable resource for Wikipedia because of his gross conflicts of interest with the pharmaceutical industry and his public biases and animosity towards vaccine critics. Offit is the co-developer of the patented live rotavirus vaccine (Merck’s Rotateq), which targets the prevention of a serious viral diarrhea infection. It is estimated that the vaccine will prevent about 74 percent of rotavirus cases, about 98 percent of severe cases, and about 96 percent of hospitalizations; consequently, the vaccine is not a silver bullet. In 2008, the vaccine was sold for a whopping $182 million in cash. Although Offit has refused to reveal how much he was personally rewarded and the figure has never been made public by the institutions he is affiliated with, independent investigations estimated his earnings were between $29-55 million from the sale.

While Offit is ever quick to deny any association between vaccines and the rising rates of autism among American children, his Rotateq vaccine has also encountered sharp criticism over its safety claims and other problems. In 2010, foreign DNA from a porcine circovirus contaminated in the vaccine, and the FDA promptly suspended its administration; however, the suspension was revoked the same year after the agency determined that this pig virus posed no risk to human health.

The vaccine has been associated with some deaths. According to the National Vaccination Information Center (NVIC), the CDC has stated that safety and efficacy data for administering the vaccine to infants with immuno-compromised conditions are not available. Nor has it been studied in children with acute gastroenteritis. Shortly after its release on the market reports started to appear about the vaccine causing severe cases of intussusception — a rotavirus condition that the vaccine is suppose to prevent. During a single year, there were 1,251 reported adverse reactions to the vaccine in the government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System. Ten percent were intussusception cases. Although this occurred a dozen years ago, in 2015, the British Medical Journal reported that France removed rotavirus vaccines from its recommended immunization schedule after three infant deaths and a flurry of serious side effects. The BMJ article noted, “It is noteworthy that clinical trials have never demonstrated a reduction in all cause mortality with these vaccines, neither in high nor in low income countries.”

None of this information is offered about rotavirus vaccines on Wikipedia.

For an investigative journalist, who may sincerely care about exposing true stories on important health issues, Wikipedia’s vaccine biases contrary to the evidence needs to be explored more thoroughly. At this moment, the states of California, Maine and New York are aggressively stripping away our health freedoms. We expect our politicians, public health officials and the media to be deeply concerned whether something we put in our body can be potentially lethal. Since according to the Supreme Court’s own terminology, every vaccine is “unavoidably unsafe,” should we not be demanding a moratorium on all future vaccine mandate proposals and a repeal of those already in effect, until such time that independent gold standard clinical trials are conducted. Such trials have never been performed on any vaccine currently in the CDC’s immunization schedule that employed a scientifically defined inert placebo. Nor have any comprehensive studies been conducted to compare the overall health between vaccinated and unvaccinated populations.

1-2 Nader Hashemi “The Slide to War with Iran”

Program #HASN002. Recorded in Boulder, CO on May 28, 2019.

The U.S. and Iran are on a collision course. The name-calling and saber rattling are ominous. The New York Times headline reads: “Iran Calls U.S. ‘Desperate and Confused.’ Trump vows ‘Obliteration.’” Is Iran going to commit suicide by attacking the world’s most lethal military? Washington is exerting what it calls “maximum pressure” on Iran and on anyone who wants to do business with that country. For most Iranians the punitive sanctions the U.S. has imposed are a form of warfare, albeit the economic kind. The Iran nuclear deal was working just fine according to the UN when Washington unilaterally abandoned it thus triggering the current crisis and the slide to war. The attitude emanating from Washington is more like that of a bully: You do what I tell you or else. Respectful dialogue is what is needed, not hectoring and badgering. Record at KGNU.

Nader Hashemi is Director of the Center for Middle East Studies and teaches Middle East and Islamic politics at the Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver. He is the author of Islam, Secularism and Liberal Democracy and co-editor of The People Reloaded, The Syria Dilemma and Sectarianization: Mapping the New Politics of the Middle East.

3-3:30 The Hidden Danger of Glyphosate - Part One of TWO, Interview with Professor Don Huber
By MariaMay 21, 2019 Newest Podcasts

Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup, patented by Monsanto in 1974. It is now the world's most widely used weed killer. About 100 million pounds are applied to U.S. farms and lawns every year, according to the EPA. Farmers sprayed enough of the chemical to cover every acre of cropland in the entire world with nearly a half-pound of Roundup, according to a 2016 study published in the Journal "Environmental Sciences Europe".
Roundup is used not only in industrial agriculture but on vineyards, golf courses, public parks and in schools, in road maintenance and by back yard gardeners. Curiously the more modest uses in schools and gardens have recently come to national attention.

In May 2019 a jury in Oakland, Calif., ordered Monsanto to pay a husband and wife more than $2 billion in damages after finding that its Roundup weed killer caused their cancer. This is the third jury to conclude that Monsanto failed to warn consumers of its flagship product's dangers. The juries were presented evidence that Glyphosate caused the breakdown of their immune systems and led to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Thousands of additional lawsuits against Monsanto, which the Bayer corporation acquired for $66 billion in 2018, are queued up in state and federal courts.
Monsanto's claim that Roundup was safe for human beings is now being challenged and the question raised - who and what else is impacted by glyphosate and the other ingredients in Roundup.

Don Huber is Professor emeritus at Purdue University. He studied Roundup and later the associated Roundup ready crops and the risks to farm animals begin fed roundup ready soy, corn and alfalfa beginning in 1974. He is the scientist who raised the safety issue of glyphosate in 2011 with the US Secretary of agriculture and made headlines all over the world. Hubers' warning was ignored by the Obama administration.

Don Huber says that the herbicide Glyphosate kills by giving plants a heightened form of AIDS. Glyphosate affects bacteria by killing some that are essential to the plant and to humans and animals that consume them; while at the same time strengthening pathogens that are harming plants and soil.

Don Huber was interviewed via a somewhat scratchy Skype connection by Uwe Alschner, publisher of the Vitalstoff Blog that focussed on nutrition in the European Union on June 2, 2018. From TUC Radio, 1 (707) 463-2654, www.tucradio.org

12-1 Gary Null "Progressive Commentary Hour" June 11
Progressive Commentary Hour - Wikipedia's Culture of Institutional Bias
Wikipedia's Culture of Institutional Bias
by Richard Gale and Gary Null

Weekly, millions of people Google their concerns about their health and a large variety of illnesses, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia, etc. They expect, with speed and accuracy, to find the current scientifically based and clinically proven information. The majority of people begin to approach a personal health crisis by turning exclusively to established medical, drug-based protocols. However, these treatments do not always relieve symptoms nor reverse disease. Certainly they do not prevent it.

Increasingly people are seeking second and third opinions. More often than not Google will take a person immediately to Wikipedia. There is an assumption and a reasonable expectation that the information we find on Wikipedia is 1) accurate, 2) soundly researched and referenced from high quality and reliable resources, 3) written by credentialed writers and editors with expertise in the subject, 4) unbiased, and finally 5) object and balanced. Therefore it is at minimal assumed that at least the content on Wikipedia is scientifically validated and would appear on the National Institutes of Health PubMed database for medical information and research. Whether it is pharmaceutical, surgical or radiological approach, or perhaps a more natural medical modality such as lifestyle change, nutrition, medical botanicals, Chiropractic and Chinese Medicine, it is expected the information will be accurately provided and described. Then using our freedom of choice and informed consent, we can select the medical route that we believe would be most safe and effective.

Unfortunately, our two year investigation into Wikipedia's treatment of health issues reveals exactly the opposite. In fact, there are many individuals with outstanding credentials who are terrified of having their biographies appear on the open-source encyclopedia. Once a person's biography is added they will never have control over its content. Often he or she will be faced with slander, character assassination and denigration about their careers and life's work. All efforts by attorneys and experts in their field will not be able to change a single syllable on a Wikipedia page. Their biographies are frozen as if confined in a Russian gulag for a political crime. They will seek redress by reaching out to the media; but the media too is fully compromised. They may seek open hearings on Wikipedia's back side to expose unfair behavior and misinformation but will be met either by deafening silence or censorship. They may even seek redress from the IRS or state's attorney generals for Wikipedia's gross serial violations of its non-profit status. Consequently, it becomes political and assumingly nothing will happen to correct the errors.

As a result, a relatively small group of uncredentialed, hate-filled individuals commonly known as Skeptics, empowered by Wikipedia's co-founder Jimmy Wales, have been using the encyclopedia as a social media platform to condemn all non-conventional and alternative medical therapies and its practitioners, even those who seek to benefit from these therapies.
There are hundreds of thousands of clinical trials, research papers and review analyses confirming the authenticity and effectiveness of these natural medical systems. However, for the Skeptics who control and edit these Wikipedia pages, knowing full well that they have Jimmy Wales' unerring support, the truth is irrelevant. Today Wikipedia succeeds the worst of McCarthyism's witch hunts in the 1950s where there is no proper channel for redress. Even attorneys representing the Silicon Valley titans, Wikipedia among them, have gamed the system.

Should we ask the media - 20-20, Nightline, 60 Minutes, the New York Times and all the other leading newspapers and magazines - why they fail to protect the American and global public from misinformation on a social platform and indulge in a shameful complicity to permit Wikipedia's deception to continue without proper review and public exposure? Yet none have the guts to undertake an objective investigation to uncover the truth.

Below is a detailed review about what we have uncovered. For deeper investigations about how Wikipedia is on all accounts an enemy of public health, we invite readers to read more thorough articles at http://prn.fm/garys-wiki-articles/

12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #1069 - "Socialists for Trump and Hitler (The Assistance" Part 9, 'Walkin' the Snake in India'

In the conclusion to FTR #1068, we ruminated about the possibility of a post-World War II "Boseian" or "Boseist" underground in India. We also speculated about the possibility of a Serpent's Walk scenario, in which revisionist historical claims about Subhas Chandra Bose being the real liberator of India-not Mahatma Gandhi, would be a point of entry for the re-branding of fascism as "anti-imperialist" or "anti-colonialist." (An article in the periodical of the Liberty Lobby's Holocaust revisionist Institute of Historical Review makes that claim.)

In Serpent's Walk, the Nazi SS go underground, buy into the opinion-forming media and, after a series of terrorist incidents involving WMD's devastate the U.S., martial law is declared and the SS descendants take over. The Third Reich and the Axis go down in history as the "good guys."
In this program, we highlight the ongoing, operational legacy of Subhas Chandra Bose, its links to contemporary India and Germany, its presence in the German commercial landscape dominated by the remarkable and deadly Bormann capital network, and the networking between this Boseian underground and Japanese elements.

1-2 Chuck Collins, "Inequality: The New Gilded Age"
Program #COLC004. Recorded in Eugene, OR on April 17, 2019.
A conversation between Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald reportedly went like this: Fitzgerald says, "The rich are different from you and me." To which Hemingway responded, "Yes, they have more money." You bet they do. And now more than ever. The old Gilded Age pales in comparison to the current one. The wealthy of the late 19th century: Rockefeller, Vanderbilt and Mellon look impoverished in relation to the current crop of Bezos, Gates and Buffet. Inequality is at record levels. How has it happened? The attack on unions has hurt workers. CEO pay has gone through the roof. There have been massive tax cuts for the haves while the have-nots see their social safety net eroded. The enormous excesses of the first Gilded Age led to a populist backlash and the Progressive Era. Could we see a repeat of that today?

Chuck Collins is director of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies. He is author of Born on Third Base, 99 to 1 and Is Inequality in America Irreversible?
