Middle East Monitor

The results of a poll conducted in the US revealed that 52 per cent of Americans oppose their government sending weapons to Israel.

According to the poll conducted by CBS News, between 16-19 October, 57 per cent of participants support sending aid to Gaza.

Fifty-six per cent of Americans also expressed dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden’s policy regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Eighty-five per cent of participants expressed concern about the risk of a wider war in the Middle East, while 79 per cent expressed concern about the possibility of terrorism in the US.

Fifty-two per cent of Americans opposed Washington sending weapons and equipment to Israel, while 24 per cent said that Biden is providing too much support for Israel.

Why Childhood Vaccines are Big Pharma’s Holy Grail

TCW

 

James A Shannon, director of the US National Institutes of Health 1955-68, said: ‘No vaccination can be proven safe before it is given to children.’

When he made that statement, it was still possible in the US to sue vaccine manufacturers under tort law for vaccine-induced deaths and injuries, which is no longer the case.

Today the US has the world’s most aggressive vaccine schedule and ranks as the sickest country, with the highest infant mortality, in the developed world. The UK does not lag far behind.

Vaccines carry three separate areas of potential risk. Firstly, they artificially stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies, which temporarily inhibits another part of the body’s defence mechanism. In an infant, whose immune system is just developing, this high demand of energy can in some cases overwhelm its metabolic reserves, and cause brain inflammation. The brain is the highest energy-consuming tissue in the body, followed by the gastro-intestinal tract and the immune system.

Secondly, vaccines contain chemicals, metals and drugs. Thirdly, according to the former pharmaceutical R&D executive Sasha Latypova, traditional vaccines are consistently contaminated with plant and animal proteins which hyper-sensitise the body, especially in children, giving rise to allergies.

In the US in the 1970s there were three inoculations recommended for children: the combined diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough) (DTP), polio, and the combined measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), introduced there in 1971. The DTP which was used in the US until 1992 contained the carcinogen formaldehyde. Both the DTP and the MMR contained the preservative thimerosal, which is almost 50 per cent mercury, and in infants can pass through the blood-brain barrier.

A wave of sudden infant deaths (SIDs), severe brain injuries, seizures and other neurological problems were linked through studies to the DTP. In 1977, a study published in the Lancet established that the risks of the whole-cell pertussis used in the DTP vaccine exceeded the risks associated with wild pertussis. Six years later, in 1983, a National Institutes of Health-funded study found that Wyeth’s DTP vaccine was killing or causing severe brain damage to 1 in 300 vaccinated children.

Lawsuits against the manufacturers shot up. In 1984, the president of pharmaceutical manufacturer Lederle declared that the dollar demand of DTP lawsuits against the company was 200 times greater than their total sales of DTP vaccine in 1983. Another vaccine manufacturer, Connaught Laboratories, had damages suits filed against it in 1985/6 amounting to a billion dollars. Wyeth, now Pfizer, faced a similar plight, and bankruptcy threatened the industry as insurers withdrew their indemnity cover.

The industry therefore lobbied Congress for a liability shield from damages, which led to the passing of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act in 1986, and the establishment of the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) in 1988, administered by the US government through the Health and Human Services Department.

Parents of vaccine-injured children from 1988 were directed to apply to what is commonly referred to as the ‘Vaccine Court’ to present their cases. This was supposed to be a neutral forum where the adversarial nature of civil litigation was removed, their cases would be dealt with swiftly and compensation, where applicable, paid in a timely manner. The reality could not be more different, and how the ‘Vaccine Court’ actually operates will be described in Part 2.

Meanwhile, freed from any consequences and related costs of selling unsafe products, vaccine manufacturers wasted no time in creating new lucrative vaccines and lobbying Congress to include them in the Childhood Vaccine Schedule. That same year of 1988, Hepatitis B and the Hib vaccine, against haemophilus influenza type B, were introduced, both containing mercury-laden thimerosal. In The Real Anthony Fauci, Robert F Kennedy Jr writes that more than 450 studies attested to thimerosal’s devastating toxicity, and because testosterone amplifies the neurotoxicity of the mercury molecule, boys were disproportionately affected.

Cases of autism, ADHD, speech delay, and other neurological conditions soared, in direct parallel with the fast-expanding vaccine schedule. In 1986 autism cases in the US were approximately 1 in 2,500. By 2017 they had jumped to 1 in 36. From the three recommended vaccines in 1986, by 2017 the schedule had risen to 69 doses of 16 vaccines.

Not one paediatric vaccine has ever been tested for safety against a genuine placebo. In 2017 TV producer Del Bigtree asked the US Department of Healthand Human Services (HHS) how it justified licensing any paediatric vaccine without first conducting a long-term clinical trial in which the rate of adverse reactions in the subject group was compared with a control group receiving an inert placebo. In January 2018 the HHS replied: ‘Inert placebo controls are not required to understand the safety profile of a new vaccine.’ 

If randomised control trials (RCTs), the so-called gold standard of safety testing, are kicked aside, how can any conclusions reached on the safety profile of a product be scientifically valid?

There are, however, real-life comparison studies between cohorts of vaccinated and unvaccinated children.

As reported by RFK Jr’s Children’s Health Defense, for years American paediatrician Paul Thomas, now retired, witnessed healthy 12-month-olds regress into severe autism following the MMR vaccination, so in 2010 he devised a new, bespoke approach to the vaccination of children in his practice Integrative Pediatric.  He offered parents a comprehensive discussion and autonomy over whether to vaccinate their children as per the US schedule, selectively vaccinate them, with longer intervals between shots, or not vaccinate them at all.

As reported in TCW yesterday, he and colleague James Lyons-Weiler PhD studied the health outcomes of the children over almost ten years, and in 2020 published the results in a groundbreaking paper which showed unequivocally that unvaccinated children enjoy better health than vaccinated children. The results showed a dramatic reduction of cases of ADHD and autism. They were almost entirely absent in the unvaccinated cohort, and greatly reduced in the partially vaccinated cohort. The same applied to anaemia, asthma, allergies, dermatitis, eczema, ear and eye infections and sinusitis.

In a recent discussion with Paul Thomas, the mother of an autistic son explained that he had been developing normally until he received the MMR vaccine, when his temperature shot up, he came out in an appalling rash, and screamed incessantly while hitting his head against the wall. She said she kept telephoning her paediatrician, who said it was ‘normal’.

Dr Thomas explained that when paediatricians say it is ‘normal’, what they mean is it is ‘common’. Many in the medical profession have become so blinded by dogma that they see frequency as indicating normality and cease to recognise what is profoundly abnormal.

That one vaccine-generation child in two graduates from high school in the US taking medication for a chronic condition should be regarded as both highly abnormal and an indictment of US public health policy.

How this has been allowed is, at least in part, down to the corrupted working of the US Vaccine Court, and the total protection from liability this gives to Big Pharma and its profit driven vaccine enterprise, and I will discuss this in Part 2.

The Rise of Communism from Marx to Lenin

Route of Lenin’s famous train journey

Episode 1: The Locomotive of History*

The Rise of Communism from Marx to Lenin

Dr Vejas Gabriel Liulevius (2019)

Film Review

I have been keen to know more about the early history of communism ever since learning about the role of London, Wall Street and German bankers in funding the Bolshevik Revolution (see Who Financed the Bolshevik Revolution?). I have been even more intrigued to learn of links between British intelligence and Marx and his mentor Friedrich Engels during their long sojourn in Britain during the second half of the 19th century.**

Liulevius begins this lecture by describing the secret train hired, allegedly by German intelligence, to transport Lenin and 30 other revolutionary exiles from Switzerland (where Lenin had lived in exile for ten years), via Germany, to Petrograd. As Liulevius describes, they were housed in a secret compartment, all station platforms were cleared and guards were forbidden entry to the train to check passports. On arriving in Russia, it took Lenin less than a year to install the small Bolshevik faction in power.

Liulevius defines communism, a term that first came into use in the 1840s, as the abolition of private property and the capitalist controlled market in favor of collective control, by the people, of the means of production. Theoretically communism is characterized by total equality.

By this definition, St Paul preached communism when he preached that money was the “root of all evil.” Marx rejected this comparison of communism to Christianity, asserting that Christianity was preaching poverty.

At the time Marx was writing, he used the terms communism and socialism*** interchangeably, though according to Liulevius, the meanings of both terms have changed.

Anarchists, in contrast to communists and socialists, denounce state structures of any variety as corrupting and constraining.

Liulevius notes that modern day communism has deviated significantly from the original theories Marx laid out:

  1. Role of individual in history – Marx asserts the masses were responsible for making history, yet in reality communism was cursed by a plague of charismatic leaders.
  2. In most cases, new elites, rather than Marx’s proletariat, have run modern communistic societies.
  3. Communism was supposed to start in Germany, Europe’s major industrial power. According to Marx and Engels, communism wasn’t possible in an agrarian economy like Russia because (according to Marx and Engels) peasants were too backwards.
  4. Despite Marx’s rejection of faith in favor of scientific rationalism, real life communism has become a form of political faith and people are routinely purged from speaking out against either the communist elite or the dogma they promulgate.

*”War is the Locomotive of History” – Karl Marx

**How the Liberals Tried to Make Engels’ Monkey into a Man

***During Marx’s time, socialism was defined as public, rather than proviate ownership or control of property and the vision of the replacement of private property, the free market and individual choices with a cooperative society.

Health Canada Confirms DNA Plasmid Contamination of COVID Vaccines

In what one scientist described as an “admission of epic proportions,” Health Canada on Thursday confirmed the presence of DNA contamination in Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines, and also confirmed that Pfizer did not disclose the contamination to the public health authority.

The DNA contamination includes the Simian Virus 40 (SV40) promoter and enhancer Pfizer did not previously disclose and that some experts say is a cancer risk due to potential integration with the human genome.

Health Canada, the country’s public health authority, told The Epoch Times that while Pfizer provided the full DNA sequences of the plasmid in its vaccine at the time of the initial submission, the vaccine maker “did not specifically identify the SV40 sequence.”

“Health Canada expects sponsors to identify any biologically functional DNA sequences within a plasmid (such as an SV40 enhancer) at the time of submission,” it said.

Health Canada’s admission came after two scientists, Kevin McKernan and Phillip J. Buckhaults, Ph.D., discovered the presence of bacterial plasmid DNA in the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines at levels potentially 18-70 times higher than the limits set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency.

They tested four expired Pfizer and Moderna vaccine vials “thought to only contain mRNA” and found to contain “double-stranded DNA plasmids.”

Health Canada said, “We have concluded that the risk/benefit profile continues to support the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine,” and that it does rely on manufacturer claims but “conducts an in-depth independent review” to make sure the vaccines meet “our high standards for safety, efficacy and quality.”

Janci Lindsay, Ph.D., director of toxicology and molecular biology for Toxicology Support Services, told The Defender this statement is “silly, not believable and not defendable,” adding that “We should not have to do the research that they should have done.”

“Why are the FDA, CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] and the mainstream media still silent about this?” asked Steve Kirsch, founder of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, adding that “the mainstream medical community is silent as well.”

Viral immunologist Dr. Byram Bridle of the University of Guelph in Canada, commenting on Health Canada’s admission wrote on his Substack, “This is an admission of epic proportions.”

[…]

The contamination “would have been discovered sooner by independent researchers, but people were threatened with arrest if they supplied vials for analysis,” Kirsch said, claiming he faced threats if he “participated in trying to analyze the vials.”

Bridle noted that it’s been “818 total days” since the University of Guelph banned him from accessing his office and laboratory for attempting to conduct similar research, while other researchers “have been the focus of attacks from many so-called ‘misinformation experts,’” even though none “have been able to refute their findings.”

Plasmid DNA contamination ‘an ongoing problem’

Immunologist, biologist and biochemist Jessica Rose, Ph.D., told The Defender, “Residual DNA has been found in the Pfizer and Moderna — and more so Pfizer — products, in older and newer vials, including the adult monovalent XBB.1.5 [vaccine].”

Rose said this indicates such contamination “is an ongoing problem.”

In separate remarks made Wednesday on CHD.TV’s “Good Morning CHD,” Rose said that McKernan “even looked at the Janssen [Johnson & Johnson vaccine] and discovered residual DNA at very high levels.”

[…]

“Plasmid DNA is used in the manufacturing of mRNA vaccines and is supposed to be removed to a level below a threshold set by health regulatory agencies before the final product is released for distribution,” The Epoch Times reported.

McKernan’s discovery made it “possible for Health Canada to confirm the presence of the enhancer based on the plasmid DNA sequence submitted by Pfizer against the published SV40 enhancer sequence,” Health Canada said.

Health Canada’s revelation came on the same day a new preprint study by Kernan, Rose and others provided more evidence of COVID-19 vaccine contamination in vials from Ontario, Canada.

The paper also presented evidence that Pfizer vaccines used during clinical trials differed from those made available to and administered to the public.

SV40 can ‘potentially integrate into the human genome’ — ‘forever’

SV40 is frequently used in gene therapy for its unique ability to deliver genes to targeted cells.

In the vaccine manufacturing process, SV40 “is used as an enhancer to drive gene transcription,” The Epoch Times wrote. McKernan last month “warned that the presence of DNA plasmids in the vaccines mean[s] they could potentially integrate into the human genome.”

[…]

Christof Plothe, D.O., a member of the World Council for Health’s steering committee, told The Defender the presence of SV40 is “problematic in terms of unwanted immunological reactions and potential integration into the genome, with resulting DNA damage and alteration ability, which can lead to cancer” and “many side effects.”

[…]

Patrick Provost, Ph.D., professor of microbiology and immunology at Laval University in Canada, told The Epoch Times “All it takes is a single integration [of SV40] at the wrong place in a single cell to initiate a cancerous process and kill a person.”

SV40: ‘all risk, no reward’

McKernan told The Epoch Times that because Pfizer’s vaccines already contain the same type of promoter as the one used in Moderna’s vaccine, the inclusion of the SV40 promoter was “completely redundant” and “all risk, no reward.”

Lindsay confirmed this in remarks shared with The Defender, adding that the DNA plasmids are nevertheless harmful even without SV40 present.

[…]

Contamination can lead to cancer, anaphylaxis and other severe reactions

According to Bridle, some potential problems involving DNA contamination include that it can be very long-lasting, has the potential to be incorporated into a person’s chromosomes and can cause inflammation.

[…]

This may have contributed to the high rate of adverse reactions, Rose said. “This is an endotoxin. … if you inject endotoxin into a person as part of a product, you can kill them. What usually happens is they get anaphylaxis. One of the adverse events that we’ve heard a lot of reporting on is anaphylaxis,” a severe allergic reaction, she said.

“Endotoxin injection would induce anaphylaxis and/or sepsis, and there are tens of thousands of reports of these adverse events in VAERS [Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System] … not considering underreporting,” Rose added, saying “This could also be why we’re seeing a lot of cancer,” though direct evidence of this is still lacking.

[…]

Lindsay took issue with this statement, telling The Defender that “several oncologists have come out to speak on this,” noting that “we have seen an increase in the ICD codes that code for cancers” and adding that “there are all kinds of reports of fast-acting cancers taking people out within days to months of diagnosis.”

Preprint study highlights undisclosed manufacturing change for public vaccines

The findings confirmed by Health Canada were further borne out in the preprint study where Rose, McKernan and several other scientists address the two different processes used to produce Pfizer’s clinical trial vaccine and the version later distributed to the public.

“Production of modRNA used in the original Pfizer randomized clinical trial … utilized a PCR-generated DNA template (Process 1). To generate billions of vaccine doses, this DNA was cloned into a bacterial plasmid vector for amplification in Escherichia coli before linearization (Process 2),” the study notes.

As a result, this expanded “the size and complexity of potential residual DNA” in Process 2 — the vaccines administered to the public — and introduced “sequences not present in the Process 1 template.”

“These data demonstrate the presence of billions to hundreds of billions of DNA molecules per dose in these vaccines,” the study further states, noting that the levels of DNA contaminants exceed thresholds set by the FDA and World Health Organization.

[…]

Text revealing Pfizer’s two different “processes” was buried on page 360 of a 1,413-page document, marked “confidential” and dated Oct. 29, 2020, amending the research protocol for the company’s then-candidate COVID-19 vaccines. It was made public in 2022 as part of the court-ordered release of the “Pfizer documents.”

[…]

According to Bridle, the results of the preprint “are profound,” noting that it “generated the largest data set to date on this topic, using vials from multiple Canadian batches of both the Pfizer and Moderna shots,” finding that all were “contaminated with bacterial DNA” and confirming the presence of SV40 in all Pfizer vials tested.

Rose said, “DNA was found in all 27 Pfizer and Moderna vials” tested and that, as part of the study, the researchers involved “were able to commence a dose response curve using serious adverse event reports for the specific vials tested,” using VAERS data.

According to the study, “A positive dose response relationship was observed for the Pfizer lots based on qPCR estimation of residual DNA,” although Rose told The Defender, “We need more data points, which means we need more vials tested.”

Twitter user sentenced to 7 months for disparaging Hillary Clinton on Twitter

Meme-maker Douglass Mackey was sentenced in the Eastern District Court of New York on criminal charges on Wednesday after a March conviction for conspiracy against rights, ie election interference, over memes he created during the 2016 presidential election that disparaged Hillary Clinton.

Mackey was sentenced to 7 months in prison for the crime of making memes the DOJ didn’t think were funny. A fundraiser has been launched for his ongoing legal defense.

The case was heard in the US Court of the Eastern District of New York. Mackey, who was known as Ricky Vaughn on Twitter, was found guilty of the federal charge after making memes that jokingly encouraged Hillary Clinton supporters to cast their votes via text mesage. This is not actually a viable form of voting, which Mackey, and everyone else, knew. There was no evidence to suggest that any voter attempted to cast their ballot via text in response to Mackey’s meme.

“Tomorrow at 1130am,” said one supporter, “Doug Mackey will be sentenced in an NYC courtroom on a sham “conspiracy” conviction for sharing an anti-Hillary meme, all thanks to a bunch of lies and half-truths spewed by a morbidly obese fed informant who goes by the name Microchip.”

The meme that Mackey was convicted of disseminating was directed at Hillary Clinton voters, but other memes, also instructing people to vote for president via text, were distributed by social media users telling people to cast their vote for Trump via text. Mackey was convicted while no one else was even charged.

The case is, as the New York Times reported at the time, was “the first criminal case in the country involving voter suppression through the spread of disinformation on Twitter.”

The DOJ claimed that the meme from Mackey constituted election interference, and the court agreed, despite their being no evidence to support the notion that anyone who saw the meme was deceived by it. Mackey argued that he was simply trying to create a viral meme, and that other Clinton supporters had posted similar memes encouraging Trump supporters to vote by text without consequence.

“The complaint,” the DOJ said in 2021, “alleges that in 2016, Mackey established an audience on Twitter with approximately 58,000 followers.”

The DOJ alleged that “Mackey was sending tweets suggesting the importance of limiting ‘black turnout,’ the defendant tweeted an image depicting an African American woman standing in front of an ‘African Americans for Hillary’ sign. The ad stated: ‘Avoid the Line. Vote from Home,’ ‘Text ‘Hillary’ to 59925,’ and ‘Vote for Hillary and be a part of history.'”

The DOJ, apparently having no sense of humor, took further issue with Mackey’s jokes, saying “The fine print at the bottom of the deceptive image stated: ‘Must be 18 or older to vote. One vote per person. Must be a legal citizen of the United States. Voting by text not available in Guam, Puerto Rico, Alaska or Hawaii. Paid for by Hillary For President 2016.’  The tweet included the typed hashtag ‘#ImWithHer,’ a slogan frequently used by Hillary Clinton. On or about and before Election Day 2016, at least 4,900 unique telephone numbers texted ‘Hillary’ or some derivative to the 59925 text number, which had been used in multiple deceptive campaign images tweeted by Mackey and his co-conspirators.”

“Mackey has been found guilty by a jury of his peers of attempting to deprive individuals from exercising their sacred right to vote for the candidate of their choice in the 2016 Presidential Election,” stated United States Attorney Peace at the time. “Today’s verdict proves that the defendant’s fraudulent actions crossed a line into criminality and flatly rejects his cynical attempt to use the constitutional right of free speech as a shield for his scheme to subvert the ballot box and suppress the vote.”

“As alleged in the complaint, between September 2016 and November 2016, in the lead up to Nov. 8, 2016, U.S. Presidential Election, Mackey conspired with others to use social media platforms, including Twitter, to disseminate fraudulent messages designed to encourage supporters of one of the presidential candidates (the ‘Candidate’) to ‘vote’ via text message or social media, a legally invalid method of voting,” the DOJ stated, describing the meme.

“According to the allegations in the complaint, the defendant exploited a social media platform to infringe one the of most basic and sacred rights guaranteed by the Constitution: the right to vote,” said Nicholas L. McQuaid, Acting Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “This complaint underscores the department’s commitment to investigating and prosecuting those who would undermine citizens’ voting rights.”

Mackey posted the memes on November 1, 2016, one week before the election. The prosecution could not provide any evidence of harm. Donald Trump has also been charged with conspiracy against rights in the Biden DOJ’s case agaisnt him over the Capitol riot of January 6.

2,000 US Troops Ordered to Prepare for Deployment in Growing Response to Israel War with Hamas

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered around 2,000 troops to be on heightened alert to potentially deploy in response to the continuing conflict in Israel, a Pentagon statement released Tuesday morning announced.

Austin “placed approximately 2,000 personnel and a range of units on a heightened state of readiness through a prepare-to-deploy order,” Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said in the emailed statement.

The order is just the latest in a series of deployments and posture adjustments, including the movement of two carrier strike groups and a Marine expeditionary unit to the region, that have been announced by the Pentagon in recent days to bolster support of Israel as it wages war against Hamas, a Palestinian group that rules the Gaza Strip and launched a terrorist attack earlier this month.

The Pentagon did not say which specific units had received the order.

The prepare-to-deploy order could again raise the U.S. presence in the region, which has already grown to a level not seen since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year. The U.S. has said repeatedly that the aim of the buildup is to deter other groups and nations in the region, such as Hezbollah and Iran, from entering the war.

As part of the announcement Tuesday, Austin also extended the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford — the Navy‘s newest and most advanced aircraft carrier — and the five other ships that make up its strike group after they were sent to the region on Oct. 8. The ships were nearing the end of their six-month deployment.

On Monday, a defense official also confirmed that the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, or MEU, along with two of the Navy ships that it is embarked on, are en route “to the waters off of Israel.” Two days prior, on Saturday, Austin also announced that the carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, along with its own cruiser and two destroyers, will eventually join the Ford off the Israeli coast.

In addition to the maritime forces, extra F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft arrived in the Middle East Friday and additional A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft arrived Thursday.

To date, however, defense and White House officials have been clear in saying that the U.S. military assets off the coast of Israel or in the nearby area are not conducting offensive operations against Hamas or the Gaza Strip.

The only U.S. military unit that appeared to be involved in the conflict on Tuesday was a small cell of special operations troops that was attached to the embassy in Israel far before the conflict began. Those troops were said to be providing advice and guidance on hostage recovery efforts.

When asked about the legal authority to fight Hamas, Singh told reporters Monday that it was a question for President Joe Biden and that the military’s goal was “to strictly be in a position to deter.” Officials have cited groups such as Hezbollah or Iran as their chief concerns.

Hamas launched a concerted attack across the Gaza border into Israel on Oct. 7, firing rockets and sending gunmen to slaughter civilians at a music festival and in nearby communities. The attack killed at least 1,200, and the group also took hostages that included Americans.

Israel declared war a day after the attack, launched retaliatory strikes and appeared to be gearing up for a ground offensive in Gaza.

A senior defense official told reporters Oct. 9 that the Ford strike group and her five accompanying ships not only have significant firepower but also offer military leaders the ability to conduct a “full spectrum of missions.”

In addition to sending planes and ships, senior U.S. military leaders including Austin visited Israel over the past week.

Late Monday evening, U.S. Central Command said in a statement that its commander, Gen. Erik Kurilla, arrived in Tel Aviv “to conduct high-level meetings with Israel’s military leadership … to gain a clear understanding of Israel’s defense requirements, outline U.S. support efforts to avoid expansion of the conflict, and reiterate the Department of Defense’s ironclad support for Israel.”

In the statement, Kurilla stressed that he is “particularly focused on avoiding other parties expanding the conflict.”

Millions of Egyptians Shout ‘With Soul and Blood’ for Palestine

Pro-Palestine rally at the Al-Azhar mosque in Cairo, Oct. 20, 2023.

Al-Sisi warned that if Egypt hosts displaced Palestinians, the Sinai could become a field of resistance operations, and Israel could attack Egyptian territory.

On Friday, millions of Egyptians shouted, “With Heart and Soul, We Will Sacrifice for You, Palestine,” while rejecting the possibility that thousands of Palestinians might be pushed to the Sinai Peninsula as a result of Israeli aggression.

Under scorching sun and after a collective prayer, what’s been called “Egypt’s Friday” began, where the face of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi blended with Palestinian flags and “Save Gaza” posters on one of the main streets of Nasr City district in Cairo, next to the Unknown Soldier monument.

The choice of this location wasn’t random. This monument commemorates the 1973 Yom Kippur War and the Sinai’s recovery by Egypt after the Israeli occupation. It stands right in front of the grandstand where Egyptian President Mohammed Anwar Sadat was assassinated during the October 6 parade. He was the signatory of the 1979 peace agreement with Israel.

WHERE IS THE ‘ARAB ARMY’?

During the protest, organized by the National Dialogue, which brings together political parties, unions, opposition, business guilds, and other public actors, other Arabic slogans were chanted, like one asking, “Where is the Arab army?” or “Screw you, Israel.”

Amid the display of slogans, the Egyptians’ pent-up anger emerged, such as that of Jihad Mahmoud, who said that she attended the demonstration to “support the Palestinian cause and oppose everything happening in Gaza by Israel,” as well as to give her “approval to Al-Sisi.”

But this a 24-year-old woman is clear about one thing: “If the decision were ours, we would go fight with them,” referring to the Palestinians.

For Dina al-Masri, who is of both Palestinian and Egyptian descent, attending this demonstration means something different than it seems for other participants.

“I’ve come to see what this is all about. It’s all nonsense. Nothing is going to happen. Only Benjamin Netanyahu and the U.S. president can give the orders and make everything happen,” she said.

Dina, who lost part of her aunt’s family in an Israeli bombing in Khan Younis, in the Strip, two days ago, already lives frustrated and sad “because of what’s happening in Gaza and the lack of solidarity among Arab countries. If all Arab countries united, Palestine would return.”

EVERYTHING BUT SINAI

Al-Sisi’s red line is in the Sinai Peninsula, which shares a border with Gaza, something that the demonstration attendees emphasized by shouting, “Everything but Sinai.”

It was during an unusual press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Cairo last Wednesday when Al-Sisi outlined the hotspots he’s not willing to cross.

Al-Sisi warned that if his country hosts displaced Palestinians from Gaza, the Sinai could become a field of Palestinian resistance operations, and Israel could attack Egyptian territory. That’s when he threatened to call on the people and organize mass demonstrations to express rejection of the displacement to Sinai.

“Egypt has 105 million inhabitants, and Egyptian and Arab public opinion is affected. If the situation arises, it will be necessary to ask the Egyptian people to come out and express their rejection of this idea. And you will see millions of Egyptians… coming out to express their rejection of the idea and support Egypt’s position in this regard,” he affirmed.

And so it has been today. Not only in Cairo—where there was also a pro-Palestine protest in the central Tahrir Square, a symbol of the 2011 popular uprisings—but in all the provinces.

Why Won’t the CDC Do Safety Trials on Childhood Vaccines? Follow the Money.

TCW

WE are constantly told by our health authorities that childhood vaccinations help train young immune systems and that vaccinated children are healthier than unvaccinated. How do governments know this? They don’t. It is pure supposition. They have no definitive proof because of a lack of double-blind placebo-controlled trials and no official vax versus unvaxxed studies. But more than 100 official papers do exist and they do not support government assertions. Vaccinated children suffer higher levels of chronic illness and autoimmune disease than unvaccinated children.

Brian Hooker is co-author of a book that looks at all those papers. He is is Professor of Biology at Simpson University, Redding, California, and like most parents he believed in childhood vaccination until his 15-month-old son was injured by three vaccines: the diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTaP), oral polio, and haemophilus influenzae type b (HIB).

‘He had an ear infection at the time and should not have received the vaccines, but the doctor said it was fine,’ said Professor Hooker. ‘He lost eye contact, was unable to walk unaided and he never recovered.’ And yes, he did go on to get the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine because the doctors did not make the association between his son’s regression and the vaccines, and neither had Professor Hooker. His son is now 25, non-verbal, has gastrointestinal problems, mitochondrial dysfunction and is diagnosed with autism. There is no cure.

For 25 years Professor Hooker, who also has a degree in chemical engineering, has campaigned for recognition of vaccine injury, and thought he would get somewhere in 2014 after the US Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) epidemiologist and senior researcher Dr William Thompson sent him a study that showed a correlation between autism, the MMR, and African-American boys. It was a study Thompson sat on for ten years before it was released. It showed that African-American children who received the MMR before they reached 36 months had 2.4 times greater odds of an autism diagnosis compared with children receiving the MMR after 36 months.

It should have been a huge red flag but had no major impact and was not widely reported in mainstream media, although President Donald Trump wanted to create a Vaccine Safety Commission to conduct these studies. However he accepted a million dollars from Pfizer for his inauguration and unsurprisingly, the Vaccine Safety Commission was shot down before it was even formed.

For 38 years, Dr Anthony Fauci was head of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). He has been a barrier to vax vs unvaxxed studies and claimed that double-blind placebo-controlled vaccine trials which had been conducted contained all the evidence needed. When challenged by lawyers Robert F Kennedy Jnr (now running for president) and Aaron Siri in 2017, on behalf of Del Bigtree, the presenter and vaccine injury campaigner who created the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), Fauci said he would send the evidence. It never materialised so they sent a legal demand. On June 27, 2018, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) admitted in writing that no such studies existed.

Many vaccines have long-term health impacts which do not become evident for years. In a 1999 interview, Fauci acknowledged that many severe injuries would remain hidden, and if the agency rushed vaccines to approval ‘then you find out that it takes 12 years for all hell to break loose, and then what have you done?’

American children receive 71 vaccination doses, and the heads of the vaccine programme were unable to produce any double-blind placebo-controlled trial to support their safety. The CDC says that one in 36 children has a diagnosis of autism and the numbers are similar in the UK, but no one has identified a cause.

A shocking fact is that when vaccine manufacturers create a childhood vaccine, they do not use saline for the control group. They will either use a different vaccine, a different version of the vaccine they are testing, or an adjuvant. For example, neurotoxic, amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulphate (AAHS), an adjuvant, was used as a control in the human papillomavirus (HPV) Gardasil trial with devastating results.

Governments justify this by saying that adverse events are only ‘one-in-a-million’. This figure is quoted by all Western countries with vaccine programmes but how have they come to it? The US government compares the number of vaccine injuries compensated by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) with the total number of vaccines given in the US. Most vaccine-injured people have no idea about the scheme and doctors rarely correlate vaccination injury to the onset of debilitating symptoms. Most doctors deny it exists. In the UK, people can apply to the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS), but most do not know about this either. The scheme is restrictive, a claimant must prove 60 per cent disability caused by vaccines with a small one-off payment of £120,000 if successful.

The truth will always out and Professor Hooker and his friend RFK Jnr have found elusive, but official, vax vs unvaxxed publications hidden in the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) archive in the global research database PubMed. Professor Hooker said: ‘We have so far identified over 100 peer-reviewed articles from open, peer-reviewed, scientific, and medical literature.’

Here are the results from just two, but without fail the book’s studies show that vaccinated children fare worse when it comes to robust health. The numbers differ slightly, which is to be expected, but unvaccinated children are on the bottom percentile.

A particularly shocking finding in the following study is that no unvaccinated children suffer with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared with 5.3 per cent of the vaccinated group.

The ‘Relative Incidence of Office [doctor’s surgery] Visits and Cumulative Rates of Billed Diagnoses along the Axis of Vaccination’ is by Dr James Lyons-Weiler, director of the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Dr Paul Thomas, a paediatrician from Portland, Oregon, who was struck off because of the study, reinstated, then resigned due to restrictions on his terms of practice.

In this powerful paper they took a unique approach to investigating the vax versus unvaxxed health differences of the children in Dr Thomas’s medical practice. Rather than examining whether children had been diagnosed with the disorders studied, they compared the number of office visits associated with specific diagnoses in vax versus unvaxxed children.

Lyons-Weiler wrote: ‘Our measure, the Relative Incidence of Office Visits (RIOV), is sensitive to the severity of disease and disorder – specifically, the disease burden.’ RIOV also reflects the frequency of recurring diseases such as fever, ear infections, and respiratory infections.

They compared 2,763 fully and partially vaccinated children with 561 unvaccinated children. The vaccinated children had significantly more office visits associated with ear infections, conjunctivitis, breathing issues, anaemia, eczema, behavioural issues, gastroenteritis, weight and eating disorders, and respiratory infections than the unvaccinated children, although unvaccinated children experienced more chickenpox and pertussis (whooping cough).

Due to the meagre rates of certain conditions in Dr Thomas’s practice, such as developmental disorder, the researchers could not determine statistically significant differences between the two groups. However, the ADHD figures were significant, 5.3 per cent vaccinated compared with zero unvaccinated.

The study was published in November 2020 in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health which then came under pressure to retract it, which it did. The retraction statement included a brief, vague explanation: ‘Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the editorial office regarding the validity conclusions of the published research.’

Below are the graphs from the study.

The other example study considered in this article is Analysis of Health Outcomes in Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Children: Developmental Delays, Asthma, Ear Infections and Gastrointestinal Disorders conducted by Professor Hooker and medical research journalist Neil Miller and published in the journal SAGE Open Medicine in 2020. 

They examined the medical records from three different paediatric practices in the US. They followed 2,047 patients from birth to a minimum age three years, and a maximum age of 12.5 years. They divided the children into two groups: those who received any vaccines before their first birthday (69.1 per cent) and those who did not (30.9 per cent). The authors accounted for diagnoses only after a child’s first birthday to establish that vaccination preceded the first diagnosis of illness or disorder.

As shown in Figure 2.4, vaccinated chil­dren were diagnosed with developmental delays at 2.18 times greater odds, asthma at 4.49 times greater odds, and ear infections at 2.13 times greater odds than unvaccinated children. These odds ratios were statistically significant.

Breastfeeding provided protection against a child developing asthma but not as much as for breastfed and unvaccinated babies. For example, unvaccinated babies who were bottle-fed were 5.4 times more likely to develop asthma than unvaccinated breastfed babies. Vaccinated and breastfed babies were 10.7 times more likely to develop asthma while vaccinated and bottle-fed babies were 23.8 times more likely to develop asthma.

Our governments should be protecting our children, and independent studies into the vaccination programme are long overdue. The reason they will not tackle this hot potato is purely financial: it could cost billions in compensation and could potentially bankrupt countries. So it is up to parents to ask questions, research and protect their children.

Putin Flies Tons of Humanitarian Aid to Gaza

Meanwhile, the Americans are sending thousands of soldiers to the area and just sent more $billions to Israel so it can exterminate more Palestinians.
