Three Things You Probably Didn’t Know About the Anthrax Vaccine
Most of you will of heard of the controversial Anthrax Vaccine which was heavily used in the gulf war to allegedly protect the Military forces from Anthrax contamination. But how much do you really know?
**NEVER PROVEN TO BE SAFE OR EFFECTIVE**
The Anthrax vaccine was never proven to be safe or effective, in a study published in the US National Library of Medicine they concluded that:
1. The safety and efficacy of the currently used anthrax vaccine have never been established, either for cutaneous or inhalation exposure in humans.
2. DA standards for use of an IND (experimental) product, which apply equally to civilian and military vaccines, were bypassed because of pressure from the DOD
3. Anthrax vaccination appears to be one of the causes of Gulf War illnesses
4. Vaccine manufacture has been substandard. For years, the vaccine manufacturer failed to meet current Good Manufacturing 5. Practices requirements but was allowed to continue production.
Nevertheless thousands of veterans still suffering the consequences of this life debilitating vaccine are denied the compensation they deserve as Governments still fail to accept wrong doing.
**SQUALENE FOUND IN ANTHRAX VACCINE**
Squalene is a naturally occurring substance found in plants, animals an humans. It has been used in Vaccines as part of adjuvant for decades. However, the World Health Orginisation does state:
> A link between the health problems of Gulf-War veterans and possible presence of squalene in vaccines received by these soldiers has been suggested. One published report has suggested that some army veterans who received anthrax vaccines developed anti-squalene antibodies and that these antibodies caused disabilities. [source](https://www.who.int/vaccine_safety/committee/topics/adjuvants/squalene/Jun_2006/en/)
They do finish off to say however that:
> Squalene was not added to the vaccines administered to these veterans, nor was it used in the manufacturing process. [source](https://www.who.int/vaccine_safety/committee/topics/adjuvants/squalene/Jun_2006/en/)
This statement has since been proven false though as Squalene was found to be added to the Anthrax Vaccine, or at least certain batches of the Vaccine. A study entitled Antibodies to Squalene in Recipients of Anthrax Vaccine published in the US National Library of Medicine concluded that:
> ‘…results suggest that the production of ASA in GWS patients is linked to the presence of squalene in certain lots of anthrax vaccine.’ [source](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12127050)
Though the US Government have issued a statement that ‘Squalene was not intentionally’ used in the Vaccine, the fact remains that many batches of the vaccine did contain squalene.
**ANTHRAX VACCINE LINKED TO GULF WAR SYNDROME**
Gulf War Syndrome has never been officially accepted as a condition by any Government, however, it clearly exists and initial theories on its cause were put down to the environmental stresses of fighting in a brutal war.
However, studies have later begun to link the Anthrax Vaccine itself to the future onset of Gulf War Syndrome:
> ‘Studies published since 2008 continue to document poorer general health status and greater disability among Gulf War veterans than in contemporary veterans who did not deploy to the Gulf. Despite the extensive number of studies conducted with Gulf War veterans in the 23 years since Desert Storm, medical surveillance in this population remains seriously inadequate.’ [source](https://www.va.gov/RAC-GWVI/RACReport2014Final.pdf)
**WHAT IS GULF WAR SYNDROME?**
The following is an excerpt from the Wikipedia definition of Gulf War Syndrome.
Gulf War Syndrome is a chronic and multisymptomatic disorder affecting returning military veterans and civilian workers of the Persian Gulf War of 1990 and 1991.
A wide range of acute and chronic symptoms have been linked to it, including fatigue, muscle pain, cognitive problems, rashes and diarrhea.
Approximately 250,000 of the 697,000 U.S. veterans who served in the 1991 Gulf War are afflicted with enduring chronic multi-symptom illness, a condition with serious consequences.
From 1995 to 2005, the health of combat veterans worsened in comparison with nondeployed veterans, with the onset of more new chronic diseases, functional impairment, repeated clinic visits and hospitalizations, chronic fatigue syndrome-like illness, posttraumatic stress disorder, and greater persistence of adverse health incidents.
According to a report by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan may also suffer from Gulf War illness.
**THE CONSPIRACY GOES FAR DEEPER**
We have just settled upon some of the more documented and known issues surrounding the Anthrax Vaccine, however, there is evidence to suggest a far greater conspiracy was at play surrounding the Anthrax Vaccine. With a huge backlash of health problems from veterans following the Gulf War era, there isn’t a shortage of motives for an extensive coverup operation to be carried out which potentially involved bombings of state buildings in the US and much more.
There is also a suggestion that the Anthrax Vaccine was also ‘modified’ in some batches as an experiment, though details on this at the moment are scant to say the least we are working on bringing all this information together in a future article.

Last [Friday’s shootings in Christchurch](https://www.oye.news/news/shootings/breaking-man-opens-fire-on-a-tram-in-the-dutch-city-of-utrecht/), New Zealand which ended with 50 dead and just as many injured have rung the global bell on a call for tougher media censorship.
Yesterday an open letter from Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, who is the head of Counter-Terrorism Policing in the UK was published on the counter-terrorism website.
Basu’s letter is a plea for the UK Government to recognise the threat that the free flow of information can have on a nation and to do something about it.
Basu points out the ironic fact that *“the same media companies who have lambasted social media platforms for not acting fast enough to remove extremist content are simultaneously publishing uncensored Daesh propaganda on their websites, or make the rambling ‘manifestos’ of crazed killers available for download.”*
He said extremist propaganda that might reach tens of thousands of people through their own channels or networks has the potential to reach tens of millions if a national newspaper published it.
He goes onto say in summary that:
> ‘Society needs to look carefully at itself. We cannot simply hide behind the mantra of freedom of speech. That freedom is not an absolute right, it is not the freedom to cause harm – that is why our hate speech legislation exists.’ [source](https://www.counterterrorism.police.uk/acso-neil-basu-issues-open-letter-about-reporting-of-terrorism/)
Basu continually refers to this dangerous information that the UK’s media is publishing as Terrorist propaganda, which he claims inspires other potential terrorists into action, he bases this assessment from the statements of terrorists his team have interviewed over the years.
I think it is undeniable that information can be dangerous, it can reinforce beliefs and prejudices, it can raise one’s emotions causing anger and fear. This is true whether the information is accurate or not. Information which has been designed to produce a specific public emotional response, propaganda, is even more dangerous – But, it’s not the root of the problem, it merely accelerates an exceptionally small minority of people to do what they were inevitably going to do anyway.
Censoring our media is a far more dangerous path to take, with dire consequences. A government which controls its media and dictates the flow of information is a Government who has a self-perpetuating power and thus unbreakable control over its people.
While we have been condemning dictatorships across the World for decades with the oppression they place upon their people through censorship and their own propaganda we are voluntarily begging for it ourselves, a little bit at a time.

CHICK
chickenpox-reactivates-two-boys
As the push for mandatory vaccinations sweeps the World we see yet another case of why Vaccines are not as ‘Safe and Effective‘ as the so-called health authorities claim them to be.
[CNN](https://edition.cnn.com/2019/11/27/health/chickenpox-vaccine-meningitis-study/index.html) Reports:
> *Doctors described what they believe are the first known cases of meningitis due to reactivation of chickenpox vaccine in two 14-year-old boys who received both recommended doses, according to a paper published Wednesday in the journal [Pediatrics](https://doi.org/10.1542/peds.2019-1522).*
Of course, as you’d expect the scientists involved in the study have downplayed the issue and in an email wrote that the:
> *“Varicella vaccine is an incredibly safe and effective vaccine that has dramatically reduced the incidence of chickenpox in the US, over 50 million doses have been distributed, and this rare side effect has only been described in a handful of cases, In contrast, meningitis is a well-known complication of chickenpox and pose a far greater risk to children.”*
Interestingly one of the boys described in the new study was immunocompromised with a history of leukaemia, and his temporary symptoms included numbness and slurred speech. This, of course, begs the questions to why on earth was the boy vaccinated in the first place considering his immunocompromised condition?
The other boy had been healthy prior to the vaccination. Both boys were successfully treated with the antiviral drug, acyclovir.
CNN go on to state the Chickenpox infection stats for the US as published by the CDC:
> *Each year in the United States, varicella vaccination prevents more than 3.5 million cases of chickenpox, 9,000 hospitalizations and 100 deaths*
Which is relatively insignificant, at 1 in 35000 dying of the disease, all of which can be put down to a previously health compromised child at the point of infection – again we have to weigh up the risks ourselves, but I think most would agree that Chickenpox is just a mild childhood disease which in days gone by was dealt with a few days in bed and a little pampering.

MALAY
malaysian-plastic-dumping-ground
Malaysia has announced it will send 3,000 metric tonnes of non-recyclable plastic to the Countries that exported it there in the first place. These Countries include the UK, US, Canada and Australia. This new initiative from the Malaysian Environmental Minister comes in an attempt to avoid becoming a dumping ground for rich nations.
Environmental Minister, Yeo Bee Yin, said Malaysia and many developing countries have become new targets for waste dumping after China banned the import of plastic waste.
60 containers stacked with contaminated waste were recently caught being smuggled in en route to illegal processing facilities in the country, these will all be sent back to their Countries of origin.
Ten of these containers are due to be shipped back within two weeks, she said, as she showed reporters contents of the waste at a port outside Kuala Lumpur.
Among the items included in these waste filled containers were cables from the UK, contaminated Milk from Australia and CD’s from Bangladesh.
> *“Malaysia will not be a dumping ground to the world “Yeo Bee Yin, Malaysian Environmental Minister*
Ms Yeo said a UK recycling company exported more than 50,000 metric tonnes of plastic waste in about 1,000 containers to Malaysia over the past two years.

polio
One topic which is always sure to get heated on both sides is, of course, Vaccines.
There is a huge amount of disinformation on either side of the argument, not least on the topic of the Polio Vaccine.
The official narrative goes something like this:
> *1954, the Salk polio vaccine field trials, involving 1.8 million children, begin at the Franklin Sherman Elementary School in McLean, Virginia. Children in the United States, Canada and Finland participated in the trials, which used for the first time the now-standard double-blind method, whereby neither the patient nor attending doctor knew if the inoculation was the vaccine or a placebo.*
> *On April 12, 1955, researchers announced the vaccine was safe and effective and it quickly became a standard part of childhood immunizations in America. In the ensuing decades, polio vaccines would all but wipe out the highly contagious disease in the Western Hemisphere. [[source]](https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/polio-vaccine-trials-begin)*
The Polio Vaccine is the ‘special weapon’ argument used to defend vaccines by just about everyone you will ever speak to on the subject. We hear of the terrible Polio epidemic in the 1950s and how desperately terrible it was, we hear of how the Polio Vaccine eradicated the disease and saved us all. However this is simply not true, in fact, the Polio Vaccine was responsible for many of the polio infections in the 1950s.
From the [‘Journal Of The Royal Society Of Medicine’](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1383764/):
> *In April 1955 more than 200 000 children in five Western and mid-Western USA states received a polio vaccine in which the process of inactivating the live virus proved to be defective. Within days there were reports of paralysis and within a month the first mass vaccination programme against polio had to be abandoned.*
> *Subsequent investigations revealed that the vaccine, manufactured by the California-based family firm of Cutter Laboratories, had caused 40 000 cases of polio, leaving 200 children with varying degrees of paralysis and killing 10.*

UNTIL
let-go-of-world
The old ways have failed us, and yet we keep trying to preserve them.
We sit on the brink of extinction, as great a failure as a species can possibly attain, yet still we look to the past for advice.
The ancestors built a system which rewards sociopathy, and now we are ruled by sociopaths.
The ancestors made exploitation profitable, and now we are all being exploited.
The ancestors made ecocide profitable, and now we are watching our ecosystem collapse.
The ancestors made war profitable, and now we are on the precipice of nuclear annihilation.
The old ideas have led us to this point, yet still we take advice from the writings of dead men.
Life is ever-changing. Life is alive. Life isn’t where the dead ancestors left it.
Trying to navigate through life using the ideas of dead men is like trying to navigate the earth using a map of Pangaea.
Your entire understanding of the world is based on the long-dead thoughts of long-dead men. Your language. Your history. Your culture. Your government.
The knowledge of dead men can be useful for learning concepts. But the ability to navigate life with wisdom and skill is not a concept.
The way out of this mess isn’t in the direction that we have been walking.
The direction out of this mess will be new and unprecedented, wildly divergent from the old patterns. This will mean a great leap into the unfamiliar.
Leaps into the unfamiliar are always frightening. But leap you must if you want to be of use to the world.
If you want to help save your world, you must let it go completely. Everything you’ve ever known, right down to your most foundational beliefs about reality.
You must relinquish your attachment to everything you’ve ever known, because all you’ve ever known are the dead ideas which brought us here.
Take the leap into the unfamiliar. Let it all go.
Trying to help the world guided by your mental understanding of it is like pulling against a tangled knot; you only make it tighter. You must instead turn around and begin untangling.
Stop pulling at the knot. Stop trying to help. Your helping is only making it worse. Untie your knots first.
Caught up in old conceptual frameworks, you will always be acting based on the same deluded perceptions which got us here. Free from your world of dead concepts, you can see clearly enough to help.
Let your world die. Let your world of dead ideas die so that the real world can get a word in edgewise.
Let death die so that life may live.
All of your attachments to this world are attachments to concepts. Your conceptual understanding of the world is not the world.
Relinquish all your attachments. Overcome your fear of the unknown. If there is any hope for us, it lies in the unprecedented.
Until you have given your world full permission to die, you’re in no position to help it.
Let your whole world die. What remains will guide you.

censorship-nobody-see-whats-happening
The news right now circulating both the sides of the political spectrum and every fringe community at either side is none other than, Vaccines.
So while the debate to whether Vaccines are safe and effective is an important issue in its own right, the underlying factor here which is more important than the debate itself is censorship.
We seem to have short memories as it was only 6 months ago we had a social media culling of first Alex Jones and his Infowars channels, in a coordinated attack all the well known social media giants removed Jones’ content from their platforms.
Shortly after tens of thousands of content providers were reporting their content and channels had been shut down also, since then a string of voices have been silenced on these platforms and it still continues now, why?
In the case of Alex Jones and the voices that followed it we primarily voices which were speaking against the politically accepted narrative and Conspiracy related content.
As is the case with the current anti-vaccination information take down, the censorship of voices such as Jones was down to pressure from people outside of the platform itself.
So here we are now with a graveyard of dead links on google where content creators have been shut down and hundreds of thousands of content creators adjusting their content to avoid their own demise, though through heavy filtering on their content, specifically on Youtube, their demise could be far more slower and painful death then the likes of Infowars.
But, just as the fun was over and the World was moving on from Infowars we have this witch hunt for anyone who doesn’t follow the state suggested Vaccine Schedule. It was all kicked off by multiple measles outbreaks around the World and an intensive fear campaign being pushed by the pharmaceutical whores such as Paul Offit and his band of merry men. The World is now crying out for help and the solution apparently comes in the form of, you guessed it, more censorship.
Anti-vaccination rates have been on the rise for some time, critics will tell you that the internet has given vaccine misinformation a huge platform and thus a huge potential audience as well. However, though the internet has been a major player in the ability to spread information which is not in line with accepted state narratives quickly and efficiently, it’s not the only reason.
Twenty years ago few of us had seen a child adversely affected by a Vaccination, however, as the schedule has quickly filled up with more and more vaccines, more of us have experienced first hand the reactions to these allegedly safe vaccines, we have seen our own children or the child of someone close to us suffer a massive seizure, or entire personality changes literally within weeks, days and sometimes hours of the inoculation.
It’s true that the Internet has allowed these stories to spread far and wide and increase the speed at which we’ve reached this point, however, questions and doubt over vaccines were on their way regardless.
But regardless, the truth behind the safety and effectiveness of Vaccines is not the biggest issue here, censorship is.
### WHAT NEXT?
So we’ve seen those questioning official state political and geopolitical narratives censored, we’ve seen voices questioning current social agendas and narratives quashed, we’ve now seen those who question vaccines shutdown, we also reported on Amazons take-down of natural healing against Autism books yesterday – What next?
The next obvious move will be to start shutting down all alternative health channels and voices, specifically those who discourage traditional mainstream treatments, like chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Will they come for our alternative history books, maybe we’ll see books on alternative teaching practices censored – do you see the problem – Where indeed does it end?
Whatever you think you know about what is best for human civilisation the very worst thing you can do is support shutting down the voices of others who don’t think what you think you know. Because one day you may discover that what you think you thought you knew was a fact was not.

THE T
vaping
E-cigarettes and vapes have exploded in popularity in the last decade, especially among youth and young adults — from 2011 to 2015, e-cigarette use among high school students in the US increased by 900 percent.
Biobehavioral scientist Suchitra Krishnan-Sarin explains what you’re actually inhaling when you vape (hint: it’s definitely not water vapour) and explores the disturbing marketing tactics being used to target kids. “Our health, the health of our children and our future generations is far too valuable to let it go up in smoke — or even in aerosol,” she says.
#### VAPING MAY BE LINKED TO A HEIGHTENED RISK OF SEIZURES
The Food and Drug Administration has been [warning](https://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm635157.htm) that nicotine-induced seizures could be a rare side effect of vaping. In the past 10 years, there have been 35 reports of seizures, sudden and uncontrolled disturbances in the brain, following the use of E-Cigarettes. The cases were reported through the [FDA’s adverse event reporting system](https://www.fda.gov/drugs/guidancecomplianceregulatoryinformation/surveillance/adversedrugeffects/default.Htm).
Scott Gottlieb, former director of the FDA said:
“While 35 cases may not seem like much compared to the total number of people using e-cigarettes, we are nonetheless concerned by these reported cases, we also recognize that not all of the cases may be reported.”
#### THE MICROSCOPIC PARTICLES PRODUCED BY E-CIGARETTES LINKED TO HEART ATTACKS, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, AND CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
Even when the vapour produced is free from nicotine, it may still carry other significant heart health risks. The heating element in e-cigarettes emits tiny particles, sometimes including metals such as lead and chromium, which can embed themselves deep into the lungs and get absorbed into the body’s circulatory system.
[Recent studies](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0269749118316051) have shown that puffing on [e-cigarettes](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0398762018309805) increases concentration of these microscopic pollutants — in particular, PM2.5 and ultrafine particles — in indoor environments.
Read more: VOX – [Vaping may be more dangerous than we realized](https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2019/3/28/18277658/vaping-health-effects-vs-smoking)
#### TARGETING YOUTH
The biggest probel with E-Cigarettes is the blatant targeting towards teenager of these products. They are glamorised and designed to attract the younger generations. With flashing lights, Bluetooth connectivity and various technical ‘mods’, these devices appeal to teenage geeks and the fashion conscious. From Vaping competitions to the endless amounts of different gimmicky juice’s – no teen is left out.
And yet, what are the long term health affects, no one seems to be quite sure. We seem to of replaced a smoking epidemic in teenagers with a new epidemic with unknown consequences. Indeed, for all we know the detrimental health affects caused by Vaping maybe far worse than traditional cigarettes. Either way, its a problem that does need more attention.
