UK's Sunday Times Journalist Challenged Over Role in US MMR Cases
The Sunday Times UK journalist Brian Deer is being challenged to explain his role in assisting George Bush’s US Departments of Justice and Health and Human Services, leading to the failure in the USA last week of three lead cases of over 4500 pending cases of injured US children. The journalist was identified last week as complainant in the UK General Medical Council proceedings against Dr Andrew Wakefield over the alleged link between MMR vaccine, autism and bowel disease in children. The journalist has reported extensively in The Sunday Times, London on his allegations which are now the subject of the UK GMC proceedings and was also previously a defendant in a law suit brought by Dr Wakefield. Challenges to his new denials of involvement with the UK GMC case are being made as are demands for the journalist to publish his complaints and other correspondence with the UK’s GMC and to explain his relationship with them.

A Deer in the Headlights

excerpt:
"Well, various people did think that Brian Deer’s complaint was the trigger for the GMC inquiry. One of those people, it appears, was Brian Deer. Screenshots record that, on his website, Deer previously boasted that he had instigated the GMC hearing. In May 2007, his website noted:
GMC inquiry: After submissions by Brian Deer to the UK General Medical Council, the doctors’ regulatory body announced a public inquiry in to the affair. Sunday Times December 12 2004.
By last week, however, the wording had been changed to:
GMC inquiry: After Brian Deer’s reports, the UK General Medical Council, the doctors’ regulatory body, announced a public inquiry into the affair. The Sunday Times, December 12 2004."

The Goebbels statement is almost certainly a fabrication. See:

I'm not a lawyer but if I were and I saw this that Brian Deer had communication with the US Department of Justice and US Department of HHS, I would file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with both agencies regarding Brian Deer correspondence.
I'm sure there would be damning information that should make an appeal with the Federal Court successful. This is beyond the pale regarding Brian Deer and the US Department of Justice and US Department of HHS.

Hi Kathy,
I believe the quotation is apocryphal, if instructive. I have, however, been monitoring a website where Brian and his cronies have been exchanging messages and it does strike me as an exceptionally brutal milieu: foul-mouthed, obscene and crudely offensive about anyone disagreeing with their propagandistic views. Reading it shames anyone who has paid these people any attention over the last 5 years.

This is the epitome statement
Hitlers propaganda man
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
