The War On Ivermectin 2023The War On Ivermectin
Dr. Pierre Kory

Ivermectin is a dirty word in the media. It doesn’t work. It’s a deadly horse dewormer. Prescribe or promote it and you’ll be called a right-wing quack, be banned from social media, or lose your license to practice medicine. And yet, entire countries wiped out the virus with it, and more than ninety-five studies now show it to be unequivocally effective in preventing and treating Covid-19. If it didn’t work, why was there a coordinated global campaign to cancel it? What’s the truth about this decades-old, Nobel Prize-winning medication? The War on Ivermectin is the personal and professional narrative of Dr. Pierre Kory and his crusade to recommend a safe, inexpensive, generic medicine as the key to ending the pandemic.

Home Is Where the AED Is in 2023

2B536E8D-5ED0-411D-8C5D-F2170B71C229I've been seeing an ad on Facebook and Instagram for the last couple of weeks. It's for a Philips brand AED called "DreamHug." I'm all for safety equipment in our homes. I have a fire extinguisher in my kitchen (no comments about my cooking please.) I've taken CPR classes. Of course I want to keep my family safe in case of an emergency. But.... Does it strike you as odd that Philips is now marking heart defibrillators for home use, after two years of increased sudden deaths?

Cause unknownCAUSE UNKNOWN
By Ed Dowd

A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent.

And therein lies a story—a story that starts with obvious questions:

What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people?
What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?


It isn’t COVID, of course, because we know that COVID is not a significant cause of death in young people. Various stakeholders opine about what could be causing this epidemic of unexpected sudden deaths, but “CAUSE UNKNOWN” doesn’t opine or speculate. The facts just are, and the math just is...




Comments Off When They Go Off Script: Steve Kirsch Exposes Dorit Reiss

Dorit immune system
Who can forget this gem from Dorit in 2019?

Golly gracious, Steve Kirsch's Substack newsletter has been like old home week lately. If home was an abandoned shack. First, he highlighted Orac, ole Dr. David Gorski. And now, he takes on Dorit Reiss.  It's great to see him take them down a peg. Those two came after us for so many years. We left them behind along with Kristina Chew (I hope Charlie is doing well), HeraldBlog (the guy in Milwaukee who had several blogs) Kevin Leitch (I hope his daughter is doing well, he had a smidgen of humanity from time to time) and others whose names I've long forgotten. Their mission was always to discredit us, our work, always on vaccine injury topics. Looks like Dorit is still at it. If you don't subscribe to Kirsch's Substack, do check it out. It's free unless you choose to pay.

Epic fail: Dorit Reiss and friends try to discredit Turtles

Dorit Reiss wrote an article trying to takedown "Turtles all the way down." When the comments on her post got way too embarrassing, they simply deleted the comments. This is how science works.

Executive summary

In order to defend the narrative, censorship is required so that people never see the “bad” material in the first place. When that fails and “bad” material is published, they write a hit piece full of errors. When those errors are pointed out in the comments section of the article, they just delete the comments.

Here’s an example of this: the unsuccessful attempt to discredit “Turtles All The Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth” done by Dorit Reiss.

This article shows just how flawed the article was and shows that they needed to censor comments to avoid being exposed.

Real scientists don’t censor people who point out flaws in their work.

The Sanctity of Motherhood Sacrificed

Vax PregnantBelow is an article from The Defender that does not surprise us.  In my Mother's day, women smoked, drank and took medications without censure. When I had my daughters in 1994 - 2000, I was browbeaten into avoiding and every chemical including coffee. I remember waiting to walk past the small lunchroom in my office because the microwave was running. 

Today, women are cajoled into pregnancy vaccinations. But take heart, I know at least one new Mom whose OB GYN practice did not push any vaccines on her. They didn't even ask if she wanted a Covid vaccine in 2022. In 2008, Mark Blaxill wrote Support Your Pediatrician, Condemn their Union. Safeminds ran a campaign (uphill, both ways) about Flu shots for pregnant women. The YouTube video has been long removed for violating standards.  In 2023, ACOG is spending millions to promote vaccination on unborn children, I guess you could call them the Pre-AAP.

Leading OB-GYN Group Took $11 Million From CDC to Push COVID Shots on Pregnant Women, Documents Reveal

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention bankrolled the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to the tune of $11 million to promote COVID-19 vaccination as “safe and effective” for pregnant women, according to an investigation published this week by attorney Maggie Thorp.

By 

Brenda Baletti, Ph.D.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) bankrolled the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) to the tune of $11 million to promote COVID-19 vaccination as “safe and effective” for pregnant women, according to an investigation published this week by attorney Maggie Thorp.

Documents obtained by Thorp through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request revealed that the CDC and ACOG entered into multiple “cooperative agreements” to carry out work largely designed and controlled by the CDC and contingent on ACOG’s adherence to the CDC’s policies on COVID-19 infection and control.

ACOG is the “premier” professional membership organization for obstetricians and gynecologists with more than 60,000 members across the Americas, its website reports.

Broadly, the grants supported the development of social media communications strategies, toolkits supporting “effective COVID-19 vaccination conversations” between doctors and patients, and the hiring of a global public health communications firm, APCO Worldwide, to produce various communications materials.

The Big Catch Up

The big Catch UpHappy Day After Mother's Day when WHO tell us JUST what it thinks of mothers.  Chelsea Clinton is part of a WHO Global Campaign devoted to catching up OPC - other people's children - who are "behind" on the pediatric vaccination schedule. (See below) Her McKinsey career prepared her for this. Or, perhaps she was placed at McKinsey to prepare for this? Imagine if every restaurant that was shuttered during the pandemic was allowed to push all those lost meals on diners to recoup their losses? This catch up campaign does not seem interested in safety data (is there any?) or potential for harm.  Full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes! Children's Health Defense TV has more.

Here's a Mother's Day Hat Trick of Skyhorse Publishing books from Helena Hjalmarsson.

Already Whole: Discovering the Sacred Within Already whole

Many of us have made our lives so noisy, overwhelming, sensory craving and data driven that we have somehow missed the most fundamental part about ourselves and our lives. Learning how to work with every process, every situation, every relationship intuitively; learning to love what is, to let go, to have faith and find stillness; to foster one’s intuition and become creative in our own lives is something we can all achieve. To illustrate these concepts, Hajlmarsson calls on her decades of experience and work as a psychotherapist. But most significantly, her life as an autism parent, accounted for in her previous books, Finding Lina 2013 and Beyond Autism 2019, which has taught her where to find that elusive freedom and harmony: inside herself. Hjalmarsson believes that the solution to life's chaos, this freedom and harmony—this love—is accessible to all.

Not a Wonderful Day in the Neighborhood: Bill Gates Really Regrets Having Dinner with Jeffrey Epstein

Truth doesn't changeFrom Louis Conte’s The Truth be Told: Exploring corruption, controversy, and deception in today’s world from the perspective of a forensic psychophysiologist (Polygraph Examiner).

Louis Conte is a professional Polygraph Examiner, investigator, and writer. In addition to the thousands of offenders he interviewed over his thirty-three years in law enforcement, Conte has conducted over fourteen hundred polygraph cases. He uses well-honed observation skills to ferret out the truth. Observation and careful attention to words and behavior often reveal the truth.

We typically see Bill Gates, the billionaire founder of Microsoft, being interviewed on topics ranging from pandemic response, vaccines, and climate change. He is the driving force behind the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF). In most interviews, Gates gives us the very best advice that a retired computer programmer with a high school diploma can offer on these profound issues. The sweater clad Gates often presents pleasantly as everybody’s “Uncle Bill” – a somewhat nerdier version of Fred Rogers, the man who welcomed everyone to a wonderful day in the neighborhood.
Mister Rogers’ wisdom remixed into song ‘Garden of Your Mind’ - The ...

Gates is often seen on television weighing in on important issues as a philanthropist with big money and big ideas. CNN often featured Gates offering his expertise on public health during the pandemic. Most of the interviews are in controlled settings where Gates knows that he is not going to be asked annoying questions.

Rarely is Gates interviewed extensively about his relationship with deceased millionaire sex offender Jefferey Epstein. His interview with Judy Woodruff on PBS is one exception:

Gates admits to Woodruff that his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was “a mistake.” He says that he had “dinners” with Epstein in an attempt to get Epstein’s assistance in accessing more wealthy people to do philanthropy for public health causes through Gates’ foundation. Gates implies that he was deceived by Epstein who conveyed that he had relationships with wealthy people who would donate.

Doesn’t Bill Gates already know a lot of people like that?

Epidemic Loneliness Concurrent with Autism

LonelyThis is a post where some of you will say, "What does THAT have to do with autism?" Everything has to do with autism, because our children, tots to teens to adults are members of an ever declining society. I am NOT saying I think the shooters are autistic. But clearly there is something very wrong happening in our society. 

Many years ago, when neurodiversity was growing at an alarming clip, I started to think, "It's as if we are intentionally creating autistic males." I didn't mean the actual epidemic. I meant the cleaving to the idea of self-diagnosis for troubled males.  This weekend was another bloodbath of violence, with a 33 year old male shooting innocent people at an Outlet Mall in Texas.  He is 33  years old.  Which brings me to the video below. Please watch this 10 minutes on the radical shift that have affected males. I know it seems”off topic” for AofA. I’d value the thoughts of our smart readers.

I listen to Michael Smerconish on Sirius POTUS (Politics Of the United States) channel daily. I started listening to him more than 25 years ago when I lived in his hometown of Doylestown, Pennsylvania.  He's straight down the middle. He talks about our nation from all points of view.  He also has a show on CNN on Saturday. He's been talking about the epidemic of loneliness in America. And how social media is proving to be devastating to our mental health. Recent focus has been on teen girls, whose body and face image have been forever crushed by filters, influencers and cosmetic surgery on demand. Smerconish has also been talking about males - and the demographic and social changes that have decimated a generation's formerly instinctive patterns.

I don't think we can talk about gun violence without also talking about changes at the deepest levels of humanity brought on by pharmaceutical use, drug use, social media, school changes, every warp and weave in the fabric of society today. Can we ever find safety again?

The Vaccine Court bookThe Vaccine Court 2.0: Revised and Updated: The Dark Truth of America's Vaccine Injury Compensation Program

By Wayne Rohde

The Vaccine Court looks at the mysterious and often unknown world of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP), the only recourse for seeking compensation for those who have been injured by a vaccine. The NVICP, better known as the ”Vaccine Court,” however, is not without controversy.

Established by Congress as a direct result of the passage of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, the NVICP was supposed to offer a no-fault alternative to the traditional injury claims filed in state or federal courts and was to provide quick, efficient, and fair compensation for those who have been injured by vaccines. The reality, however, is that many cases take several years or longer to complete and require tremendous commitment from families already pushed to the brink of bankruptcy caring for the vaccine-injured family member, only to discover that the end result is manipulated by the government in defense of the US vaccine policy.

We do. 

Statement from President Biden on Dr. Rochelle Walensky

Dr. Walensky has saved lives with her steadfast and unwavering focus on the health of every American. As Director of the CDC, she led a complex organization on the frontlines of a once-in-a-generation pandemic with honesty and integrity. She marshalled our finest scientists and public health experts to turn the tide on the urgent crises we’ve faced.

Dr. Walensky leaves CDC a stronger institution, better positioned to confront health threats and protect Americans. We have all benefited from her service and dedication to public health, and I wish her the best in her next chapter.

Is Newsweek joining the ranks of ABC News in deciding that Robert Kennedy Jr.’s views shouldn’t be heard?

While ABC News openly admitted censoring Kennedy’s remarks about the vaccine makers and dangerous vaccine side effects during a recent interview by Linsey Davis, Newsweek was more subtle in their coverage.

Newsweek’s James Bickerton didn’t actually interview Kennedy. Instead he set out to discredit him for his position on vaccines, and he included numerous experts and others who called Kennedy “dangerous” for peddling “false information.”

At the end Bickerton also insinuated that giving Kennedy a public voice might lead to more people questioning vaccine safety. He had experts raising a alarm about the danger of letting Kennedy speak.

Reporters like Bickerton are a clear sign of the end of free speech and a free press in America. The corporate controlled media will decide what we’re allowed to hear. That is the hallmark of the totalitarian state.

May 1, 2023, Newsweek: published a piece with the title, Robert F. Kennedy Jr is Riding a Tidal Wave of Anti-Vaccine Resentment by James Bickerton.

Included is a one minute clip of Kennedy’s recent announcement of his candidacy for President in Boston:

My mission over the next 18 months of this campaign and throughout my presidency, will be to end the corrupt merger of state and corporate power that is threatening out to impose a new kind of corporate feudalism in our country, to commoditize our children, our purple mountains majesty, to poison our children and our people with chemical and pharmaceutical drugs, to strip mine our assets, to hollow out the middle class and keep us in a constant state of war.

Best of: Vaccine Trafficking

Stop1Laura Hayes wrote this article in February of 2015. Not sure we could have imagined the draconian vaccine policies of Covid a mere 8 years ago. Nor what horrors might happen in the (near) future.

By Laura Hayes

URGENT WARNING FOR ALL U.S. CITIZENS:  Beware of "The United States of Tyrannica" where "Vaccine Trafficking" is proliferating.  Protect your children, and yourselves.

Most of you have heard of "Human Trafficking*".  Today, I want to warn you about "Vaccine Trafficking", which is equally hellacious, and which needs to be dealt with just as swiftly as is happening with Human Trafficking.  Immediate help and compassion for the victims of Vaccine Trafficking, and for their families, are also needed.  Here is a comparison of the two.  Please note their frightening similarities.

Human trafficking is a form of modern slavery where people profit from the control and exploitation of others.

Although slavery is commonly thought to be a thing of the past, human trafficking still exists today throughout the United States and globally when traffickers use force, fraud, or coercion to control other people for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex or forcing them to provide labor services against their will. Traffickers use violence, threats, deception, debt bondage, and other manipulative tactics to trap victims in horrific situations every day in America. All trafficking victims share one essential experience – the loss of freedom.

In the United States, sex trafficking commonly occurs in online escort services, residential brothels, brothels disguised as massage businesses or spas, and in street prostitution. Labor trafficking has been found in domestic servitude situations, as well as sales crews, large farms, restaurants, carnivals, and more.

There are two primary factors driving the spread of human trafficking: high profits and low risk. Like drug and arms trafficking, human trafficking is a market-driven criminal industry that is based on the principles of supply and demand. Every year, traffickers generate billions of dollars in profits by victimizing millions of people around the world, including here in the United States.

Vaccine trafficking is a form of modern forced medical experimentation where people profit from the control and exploitation of others.

Proof That Vaccines Cause Autism Is Being Suppressed

Go Talk QuietBy Dr. William H. Gaunt (NMD)

New CDC autism rate recently released:

In 2021, the CDC told us that 1 in every 44 eight-year-olds had an autism diagnosis. The new 2023 CDC data tells us that 1 in every 36 eight-year-olds in the U.S. now has an autism diagnosis (2.8%). They express no alarm and don’t characterize the increase in the rate of autism as a crisis. The CDC pretends to have no clue what could be causing so many children to become autistic. They appear to believe that having one autistic child for every thirty-six children is totally normal. It is important to realize that the CDC is firmly on the side of big pharma and the vaccine companies. They protect and promote the vaccine industry. The CDC is hiding evidence that vaccines are the main cause of autism.

Toby Rogers on the CDC’s new Autism numbers:

Head over to tobyrogers.substack.com UTobian for a deeper dive into the new autism rate. Scroll down to “Newly released autism prevalence estimates show that the iatrogenicide is expanding.” He explains how these numbers are collected and averaged from several areas of the country. Rogers also points out that boys are 3.8 times more likely to have autism than girls. Here is an interesting quote from that article: “Every f*cking Democrat in California swore that vaccines were not linked to autism. They mandated one of the most extreme childhood vaccine schedules in the world for kids to go to school, and voila, 6.94% of boys in the state now have autism.”  

For those who want to read the science which implicates vaccines as the main cause of autism:

Go to www.howdovaccinescauseautism.org. This website presents evidence from 212 scientific studies. Don’t be intimidated by the scientific language. The abstracts are intentionally written to be understandable to nonscientists. Enjoy.

What was the rate of autism in 1970?

Dr. Darnold Treffert and colleagues published a study in the 1970 Archives of General Psychiatry on the rate of autism in Wisconsin. They found the autism rate to be 0.7 children per 10,000. That means Less than one autistic child for every 10,000 children. That was long before the 1986 law which exempts vaccine companies from liability for injuries and deaths caused by vaccines. Soon after that law was passed, the number of vaccines on the CDC schedule increased rapidly. It was like a gold rush. Producing vaccines became much more profitable without all those pesky lawsuits where the vaccine companies were forced to pay out serious money for injuries and deaths caused by vaccines.   

What is the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD)?

Profound Autism

Iq testNote: Profound autism = IQ below 50 or non-speaking. I question the IQ number. In my opinion and experience, many of our children with profound autism are untestable - and therefore the tests are either null and void or show a low IQ.  There are many ways to exhibit intelligence - such as spelling, rapid prompt, ability to search and use technology, building skills, pattern recognition - so many of the traits of excellence we see in our children. Still, interesting to see "profound autism" discussed and maybe one day, cured. We will never give up that hope. 

From Safeminds:

Research Depicts “Profound Autism” as Very Different than “Autism Spectrum Disorder”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently reported that 26.7% of individuals with autism qualify as having “profound autism,” defined as having the disorder with an intelligence quotient (IQ) score <50 or being nonverbal or minimally verbal. This is the first time CDC has investigated and reported on profound autism prevalence rate data. The authors determined that the rate of profound cases increased from approximately three cases per 1,000 children in 2000 to about five cases per 1,000 in 2016. This report analyzed population-based surveillance data from the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network (ADDM) for 20,135 children aged 8 with autism from 2000-2016. The data showed that children with profound autism were more likely to be female, from racial and ethnic minority groups, of low socioeconomic status, born preterm or with low birth weight, have self-injurious behaviors, have seizure disorders, and have lower adaptive skills. The report also highlights that “profound autism” is markedly different from the broader diagnosis of “autism spectrum disorder” and points out that children with profound autism may have considerable medical complexity.

Fox Just Demonstrated the Terrifying Power of Big Pharma

From Robert F. Kennedy Jr. yesterday on Twitter:

Fox fires
@TuckerCarlson five days after he crosses the red line by acknowledging that the TV networks pushed a deadly and ineffective vaccine to please their Pharma advertisers. Carlson’s breathtakingly courageous April 19 monologue broke TV’s two biggest rules: Tucker told the truth about how greedy Pharma advertisers controlled TV news content and he lambasted obsequious newscasters for promoting jabs they knew to be lethal and worthless. For many years, Tucker has had the nation's biggest audience averaging 3.5 million — 10 times the size of CNN. Fox just demonstrated the terrifying power of Big Pharma.

A Letter to LiberalsA Letter to Liberals: Censorship and COVID: An Attack on Science and American Ideals

By Robert Kennedy Jr.

A leading Democrat challenges his party to return to liberal values and evidence-based science
 
Democrats were the party of intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and faith in scientific and liberal empiricism. They once took pride in understanding how to read science critically, exercising healthy skepticism toward notoriously corrupt entities like the drug companies that brought us the opioid crisis, and were outraged by the phenomenon of “agency capture” and the pervasive control of private interests over Congress, the media, and the scientific journals.
 
A Letter to Liberals is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s, challenge to “lockdown liberalism’s” embrace of policies that are an affront to once cherished precepts.

DenialDenial: How Refusing to Face the Facts about Our Autism Epidemic Hurts Children, Families, and Our Future

By Mark Blaxill and Dan Olmsted

Even as the autism rate soars and the cost to our nation climbs well into the billions, a dangerous new idea is taking hold: There simply is no autism epidemic.

The question is stark: Is autism ancient, a genetic variation that demands acceptance and celebration? Or is it new and disabling, triggered by something in the environment that is damaging more children every day?


Don Lemon Once Let Me Speak About Vaccines

Don lemonDon Lemon was let go from from CNN yesterday after a 17 year career there. Twelve years ago, he interviewed me via Skype (remember Skype?) after the British GMC decision about Dr. Andrew Wakefield. I was able to talk about vaccine injury on CNN. I remember him being patient, thoughtful and far more polite than Anderson Cooper on the same topic. Recently, Don got into trouble for saying middle aged women were past their prime. I'm a middle aged woman, who is not offended so easily. I'm more interested in when it's past my bedtime, but such is the hyper-sensitive world we live in. Kim

Prominent British medical journal "The Lancet " has retracted an influential 1998 research report linking vaccines to autism. Britain's general medical council concluded the doctor behind the study, Andrew Wakefield, engaged in dishonesty and misleading conduct. Because of the 1998 report many parents skipped vaccines.

I talked earlier with Kim Stagliano of Connecticut. She has three children, all diagnosed with autism. She is a staunch defender of Wakefield's research. I asked her if she still believes there's a link between the vaccines and autism.

A Letter to LiberalsA Letter to Liberals: Censorship and COVID: An Attack on Science and American Ideals

By Robert Kennedy Jr.

A leading Democrat challenges his party to return to liberal values and evidence-based science
 
Democrats were the party of intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and faith in scientific and liberal empiricism. They once took pride in understanding how to read science critically, exercising healthy skepticism toward notoriously corrupt entities like the drug companies that brought us the opioid crisis, and were outraged by the phenomenon of “agency capture” and the pervasive control of private interests over Congress, the media, and the scientific journals.
 
A Letter to Liberals is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s, challenge to “lockdown liberalism’s” embrace of policies that are an affront to once cherished precepts.

DenialDenial: How Refusing to Face the Facts about Our Autism Epidemic Hurts Children, Families, and Our Future

By Mark Blaxill and Dan Olmsted

Even as the autism rate soars and the cost to our nation climbs well into the billions, a dangerous new idea is taking hold: There simply is no autism epidemic.

The question is stark: Is autism ancient, a genetic variation that demands acceptance and celebration? Or is it new and disabling, triggered by something in the environment that is damaging more children every day?


Focus on Autism Acceptance Ignores Individuals and Threatens Research

Bang-head-hereNote: Thanks to Wayne Rohde for sharing this opinion piece (below my intro) from the Star Tribune in Minnesota. I never thought I'd miss "awareness." But today, as schools are drowning under the weight of special education, and adult programs are turning away the autistic, and those who don't qualify for programs are simply set adrift, awareness of the problems is more urgent than ever. I want you to read this heartbreaking, honest anonymous post from a parent of a child with "high functioning" autism, and multiply by tens of thousands of families. Then read the opinion piece below.

I am posting anonymously because I'm ashamed at how hopeless I feel. Please tell me if there is anywhere to get an extended break from a special needs child. Our teenaged child has high functioning autism, anxiety and possibly mental illness. The IQ is over 69 so we, to my knowledge, are NOT eligible for DDS respite so no, we have not called 211. We are drained. Exhausted. Depleted. We have NO family here willing to watch the child for a few days let alone a week. Most people we know have grandparents or aunts and uncles who step in and help. We don't. The child has NO friends. It's taking its toll on us as individuals and on our marriage. We haven't had a vacation in years. What do people do? We are NOT wealthy. Middle class hard working and already spending hundreds a month on things like therapy for our child. School is the only break we get and we work then. I am at the point where I feel like running away. Utterly depressed.

Why the governor's proclamation on autism made me wince
The new focus on acceptance, rather than on awareness, ignores those with a debilitating disorder and threatens research.

By Dawn Kovacovich

Autism is a neurological and developmental disorder that can cause difficulty with communication and repetitive behavior.

•••

We recently received a newsletter from the Autism Society of Minnesota (AUSM) explaining its rationale for switching terminology from the previously used "Autism Awareness Month" to "Autism Acceptance Month." I was dismayed to read the statement made by the governor:

"Minnesota acknowledges the limits of asking for awareness and promotes and celebrates the acceptance and appreciation of people with autism as the next step beyond awareness," said Gov. Tim Walz in his proclamation. "Minnesota acknowledges that although this celebration of autistic culture and community provides a starting point, that there remains significant room for progress towards equitable access and inclusion for all Minnesotans with autism."

His statement reflects a clear lack of understanding and dismissiveness toward the approximately 50% of individuals (and their families) who suffer with what can be an extremely debilitating developmental disorder. Many longtime AUSM members do not share their current position and philosophy regarding autism "acceptance."

To the American President: Improving Health & Reducing Costs

Still rings trueNote: Laura Hayes wrote this for us back in February of 2017. Donald Trump had just taken office as President of The United States. His legacy is reneging on his campaign promise to create a vaccine safety committee spearheaded by Robert Kennedy Jr. and launching Operation Warp Speed. Robert Kennedy Jr. is announcing his own candidacy for President today in Boston, Massachusetts, running against the Democratic incumbent Joe Biden.

By Laura Hayes

A parent’s perspective on how to improve the health of Americans, reduce the amount we spend on healthcare, and keep viable our citizenry and nation

Dear President Trump, Presidential Staff, and Presidential Advisors,

Vaccines are now the leading cause of chronic illnesses, developmental disabilities, and premature deaths among infants, toddlers, young children, and virtually all age groups in the U.S.  Vaccine injury is real and it isn’t rare. It also isn’t reported by doctors, nurses, or pharmacists. Rather, it is callously and summarily dismissed and vehemently denied. Therefore, the needed statistics to prove the above statements don’t exist, and that is purposeful. There are many vaccine profiteers who will not allow the truth to surface, lest propaganda-driven public confidence in vaccines be threatened, lest billions in vaccine profits be threatened, and lest trillions in compensation to the vaccine-injured and their families, and to the families of the vaccine-killed, be threatened.

Parents are constantly told by doctors and nurses that their children’s vaccine-induced injuries and deaths are merely “coincidences”, that the vaccines were in no way responsible. Due to this continued denial of what is often blatant and indisputable evidence, including eye witness accounts of immediate and/or temporally-related adverse reactions to one or more vaccines, and due to the denial of scientific facts regarding how and why vaccine injuries and fatalities occur, vaccines are now the leading cause of coincidences in the world.

How different things would be at this point in time if doctors and nurses had acknowledged, admitted, and reported the myriad vaccine-induced injuries and deaths which happened in patients under their care, and which are witnessed virtually non-stop in pediatricians’ offices, emergency rooms, NICUs, and pediatric wards of hospitals. Imagine if these medical professionals had refused to continue administering vaccines due to the harm they were causing, which they were personally witnessing, versus turning a blind and callous eye to it.

On Sunday, April 16, our friend and colleague David L. Kirby died. David was the author of many investigative books that exposed the inner workings of both corporate and government greed and misdeeds. Evidence of Harm Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic A Medical Controversy told the story that children were being dosed with hundreds of micrograms of mercury in the American vaccine schedule, and the vicious cover up. He went on to write several other exposés. Details about memorial service to follow.

I'm writing this as Kim Rossi, autism Mom, born at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston almost more decades ago than I have fingers on my hand. Age of Autism can not and will not endorse any candidate. But we can share  report on how the candidates will perhaps treat our community and the issues that matter to us. We've seen Presidents make promises that aren't worth their weight in feathers. We've been lied to. Marginalized. Disenfranchised. The Covid lockdown and vaccine mandates were catastrophic for us.

When Robert's uncle John was President in 1960, the autism rate was 1 in 10,000. It was unheard of. Psychiatrists went a full career never seeing a patient. Pediatricians had waiting rooms full of chatty two year olds who sat in Mother's lap waiting their turn. Today? The rate is 1 in 36 and childhood as we once knew it is utterly destroyed by far more than autism.

In 2023, labels have little meaning.  What's a Republican today? What's a Democrat? What is pro-life. What is is pro-choice? By whose definition, your parents? Your grandparents?

I hope to see you there.  KIM

While most autism researchers focus on either environmental or genetic causes of autism, Lyons-Weiler’s opus demonstrates that to fully understand the condition and to finally put its rate on the decrease, it is essential to pay attention to the science showing how the two classes of factors interact.

New Autism Numbers "Case Study in Total Depravity"

IncreaseNote: Thank you to Laura Hayes for bringing this article from Toby Rogers' Substack to my attention. I've excerpted and linked to the full article, which you can read without a subscription. I just subscribed for the full year. It's important to support each other. And here comes April with the blue month of celebration. We may never know who decided autism was going to become a difference to be celebrated or ignored, depending where one is on the spectrum. I'd start with Anthony Fauci - he's been in power since the rate was 1 in 10,000.

Newly released autism prevalence estimates show that the iatrogenocide is expanding
The mainstream narrative lies in ruins and the CDC response is a case study in total depravity

Toby Rogers
Mar 28

I. Introduction

The new autism numbers came out last Thursday. We all knew that they would be bad because nearly every prevalence report for the last 20 years has shown increasing rates. We also knew that once again the CDC and mainstream media would try to spin increasing prevalence as “good news” in the Orwellian way that they do.

Let’s walk through the two reports and then have a brief conversation about what we do about this.

II. The new numbers

There are several systems for tracking autism prevalence in the U.S. including the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network (ADDM), National Survey for Children’s Health (NSCH), and National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). There are also federal programs including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) that have their own counts.

The two reports that came out on Thursday were from ADDM which tends to estimate lower autism prevalence (owing to slightly different research methods) than some of the other surveys.

Polygraph Expert on Fight or Flight and Fauci

7109E9D1-91BF-4A02-BC33-2D54D0FB1DADAlways happy to share Lou Conte's SubStack with readers. Lou is a polygraph expert. Check out his expert analysis of Dr. Anthony Fauci, excerpted below. Or read the full article and skip straight to his TRUTH BE TOLD SubStack.

By Louis Conte

Many are aware of the Fight or Flight response. It is the response built into our nervous system that is activated when we encounter a threat. As a polygraph examiner, it is the physiology associated with fight or flight that we are measuring in determining whether the examinee is being truthful or deceptive during a polygraph.

When the brain perceives a threat, the fight or flight response (which is also referred to as the Freeze, Fight or Flight Response) is activated so that we are prepared to run or engage in combat. The amygdala, an almond-shaped structure deep within our brain, triggers the release of stress hormones into the blood stream. Breathing increases but also becomes shallower. The heart beats faster, pumping blood to major muscle groups in the arms and legs – to prepare for strenuous physical activity - but away from internal and digestive organs. Sometimes this causes people to vomit. The bladder may relax, and I have observed some people literally “pee in their pants.” The mouth goes dry. The eyes also dry out, which causes the rate of blinking to increase. Blood rushes from hands and feet, leaving them cold and sweaty. Perspiration increases throughout the body. Arms and legs may tremble while tension increases in the arms, legs, neck, and shoulders. The mind hyper focuses, pupils dilate, and “Tunnel Vision” may result. I have observed that people’s eyes dart around, perhaps to locate escape routes. On one occasion, I observed a man faint during a polygraph while experiencing fight or flight because he had been caught in a lie.

In this scene from the Soprano’s, we see poor Adrianna La Cerva’s expression of fight or flight response in clear detail when she is unexpectedly pulled into a meeting with law enforcement.

Interrogation of Adriana

I have seen people do some crazy things in polygraph sessions. As I really do not want people peeing themselves, passing out or puking, I often advise examinees to just tell the truth, come what may. Going through life lying and keeping dark secrets can damage people physically and emotionally. One way or another, the truth will come out.

It’s Not So Bad

43BC43CE-6136-44BA-B768-85E0F5CA77DBDecorum prevents me from writing what we are all thinking. Until April, then all bets are off. Gloves too.

By Anne Dachel

Autism one in 36 (one in 22 boys) It’s all good

By now anyone who’s interested has seen the latest upswing in the autism rate. As usual, the underlying message is, it’s nothing to worry about.

No one ever talks about more kids actually having autism. That’s long been THE REALLY BIG LIE ABOUT AUTISM, something I’ve expressly written about over the years.

Here once again are references to greater awareness, along with diagnosing delays due to COVID, more girls being detected, more minority children now being diagnosed, and “demographic differences”—although none of this could explain the latest leap from one in 44 to one in 36.

USA Today quoted Dr. Andy Shihchief science officer of Autism Speaks, who conveniently took credit for the new numbers.

Shih: ‘This increase is really fueled by us doing a much better job in identifying minority children with autism.’

I will give USA Today’s Karen Weintraub credit for also citing Dr. Walter Zahorodny in her story.

The Defender: In New Autism Report, CDC Again Fails to Address Root Causes

WhyAofA Editor-At-Large Mark Blaxill has updated his prevalence slides to reflect the 2023 announcement. The 11 slides are at the end of this post.

In New Autism Report, CDC Again Fails to Address Root Causes

One wonders how high autism spectrum disorder prevalence will climb before public policy moves beyond its current focus on equity toward addressing the root causes of the condition.

By Cynthia Nevison, Ph.D.

The newly released Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network report finds that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) prevalence in the U.S. has increased to 2.8%, or 1 in 36 U.S. children born in 2012 — up from 1 in 44 from the previous report for children born in 2010.

Prevalence among 8-year-old boys was 4.3% nationwide and as high as 6.9% in California.

The policy focus of the new report is centered not around the increasing ASD rates, but rather around a social justice narrative in which disability issues take a back seat to the equity implications.

While the ADDM reports of the 2000s declared rising rates of ASD an “urgent public health concern,” the most recent reports have abandoned that messaging.

The Defender On Another Increase in Autism Rates

Slide1Mark Blaxill has updated his prevalence slides to reflect the most current data. The slides are at the end of this post. The article below from The Defender quotes Mark, who is AofA's Editor-At-Large and co-founder.

1 in 36 Kids Have Autism, CDC Says — Critics Slam Agency’s Failure to Investigate Causes

One in 36 (2.8%) 8-year-old children — 4% of boys and 1% of girls — have an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), based on an analysis of data from 2020, published today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

One in 36 (2.8%) 8-year-old children — 4% of boys and 1% of girls — have an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), based on an analysis of data from 2020, published today (actual date, 3/23/23) by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The latest findings, reported in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, show an increase from the last report, which found 1 in 44 8-year-olds (2.3%) had autism in 2018.

Since the CDC started collecting the data, prevalence estimates have skyrocketed from 1 in 150 in 2000, to today’s estimate of 1 in 36 children.

The trend has persisted for decades. Autism prevalence in the 1990s, which was 1 in 1,000 children, already represented a tenfold increase over the condition’s estimated prevalence in the 1970s.

Commenting on today’s report, Mark Blaxill, from the Executive Leadership Team at Health Choice, told The Defender:

“As the American culture wars have intensified, the harsh reality of the autism epidemic has been tucked away into obscurity as attention has turned to a whole new set of health concerns.

“Today’s new report from the CDC’s ADDM [Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring] Network places the latest ASD rate at 1 in 36 children born in 2012, but that’s not even the largest number out there (a recent survey using NHIS data reported a rate of 1 in 29 children in 2020).”  READ MORE AT THE DEFENDER HERE.Slide1

CDC Report on Autism: One In Thirty Sicks

WeepCDC just released the latest autism prevalence data.  1 in 36 American children have autism. This morning, the rate was 1 in 44. Safeminds has an excellent report.

4% of Boys and 1% of Girls Aged 8 Years Now Have the Disorder

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has just released its latest prevalence rate estimates for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The CDC reports that 1 in 36 or 2.8% of American 8-year-olds has an autism diagnosis. This rate is a 22% increase from the last reporting period (December 2021), when the figure was already astonishingly high at 1 in 44 children. The new prevalence rate reflects an incredible 4-fold increase in the disorder since the CDC started collecting prevalence estimates data in 2000. 

The study, published in the March 23, 2023 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, used the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network to estimate the number of 8 year-old-children with ASD in 2020 (birth year 2012) from 11 different areas, including Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Tennessee, Utah, and Wisconsin. ASD prevalence per 1,000 children aged 8 years ranged from a low (23.1) in Maryland to a high (44.9) in California. For the second time, the ADDM Network recognized California as having the highest autism rates in the country. Also reported was the staggering fact that nearly 7% of all 8-year-old boys in the San Diego region have the disorder. Read more at Safeminds.



 




 

 

 


Is Severe Autism Measured Adequately?

What the heckIs Severe Autism Measured Adequately? New Commentary Believes there’s a Better Way to Measure How the Condition Impacts Life - see the article below from the Safeminds site.

Maybe ask AND BELIEVE the parents who have been shouting for 2 decades, instead of telling us to ACCEPT! ACCEPT! ACCEPT! And stop gaslighting our children's PLIGHT away into a supper dee duper Swiss Army knife set of self-selected differences.  We acknowledge and support families and individuals any and everywhere on the spectrum. But let there be no doubt, the most affected, and certainly those who regressed following vaccine injury, have been marginalized and all but vaporized by the "approved" narrative. The puzzle piece has been cast aside for a rainbow infinity symbol - a visual slap in the face. Remember that in 2012, the DSM V removed Asperger's as a diagnosis. Many of our kids were diagnosed PDD-NOS as tots, Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Other Specified. Wasn't the code 299.0 - and rarely did insurance cover anything?  The changes to terminology have confused everyone. We're happy to see strides to better measure - but honestly, if experts listened to the experienced voices of parents of kids across the spectrum, we might be in a much better place.  Thanks to Safeminds for featuring this info.

New Commentary Believes there’s a Better Way to Measure How the Condition Impacts Life

A new commentary featured in the journal, Autism Research, calls for a more effective way of measuring severe autism that details specifically how an individual’s autism severity level impacts their life. Autism severity is currently defined and measured based exclusively on the levels of two core symptom domains: social-communication and restrictive or repetitive patterns of behaviors and interests. However, the commentary’s authors point out that people with autism are often diagnosed with other medical, developmental, and psychological co-occurring conditions. These additional challenges may include intellectual disability, limited expressive and/or receptive language, and anxiety disorders. All of which can have a significant impact on day-to-day life. The authors also indicate that core symptoms and co-occurring conditions interact across development, influencing the other’s trajectory over time. Due to these reasons, the team believes that a multidimensional, measurable definition of autism severity could be helpful.

Andrew Mitchell and the British State as Vaccine Manufacturer

2E512ED9-5D0B-4D1E-8BE3-703924D9343EBy John Stone

This is a commentary to one of the oddest events in modern British politics which occurred in the House of Commons last week when MP Andrew Bridgen got up to give a speech on the Covid shot fallout and the entire chamber emptied - involving the unusual behaviour of veteran Foreign Office minister and long time Bill Gates familiar Andrew Mitchell. In only a few seconds there were only seven MPs left out of a potential 643: these included four government representatives, the deputy Speaker and just one person supporting Andrew Bridgen, Christopher Chope. No one was present from any of the opposition parties to hear Bridgen’s meticulously documented speech.

While it is hard determine exactly what Mitchell was up to he certainly provides an interesting thread to tug at, since as well as being Minister for International Development and Africa he is also a ‘Polio Eradication Gender Champion’, an honour bestowed by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, a project of the WHO, Rotary International, the US CDC, UNICEF, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and GAVI. Of course, as we have seen these things can go wrong. Despite this interest in vaccination Mitchell did not stop to listen to what Andrew Bridgen had to say, and consider it on its merits.

When it comes to African polio vaccines the British state is peculiarly conflicted: it is not only that as Andrew Bridgen and many others have pointed out the MHRA (the UK licensing authority) is largely paid for by the industry and therefore not remotely independent from it, it is actually through its subsidiary National Institute for Biological Standards and Control part of a partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the WHO manufacturing the products. Last year I transcribed some passages from an MHRA meeting (courtesy of UK Column)  involving the interim director of NIBSC Mark Bailey and the Chairman of the MHRA  Stephen Lightfoot:

Bailey:

Significant investment by NIBSC and also its partners the Gates foundation and of course its part of   the WHO lab in (indecipherable) and of course basically premiere eradication. There are three strains of polio and the team at NIBSC developed three different vaccines. It happens that strain two is the one that has been deployed most in clinical trials in Africa and it's listed product by the WHO which mean it can be used in emergency situations even though it is not proved. We are now moving to clinical trials with the other two strains as well, so it's very exciting: it's a huge huge combination: its effect is that this vaccine cannot revert. So the Salk vaccine which was used with most of us as kids there was always a low chance of it reverting back to wild type which means things like polio begins to appear in the population. This is a great leap forward here because it can't revert so basically its much safer.

Like An Infant Discovering Its Hands

01D55AD4-1E7C-46BA-B8B9-0AC9E84F2574Good morning, and happy Monday. From time to time, I will vent and rant about the reverse absurdity we are seeing in the post Covid-hysteria (one can hope) world. Mainstream (or formerly mainstream) journalists are discovering that vaccines can cause harm and that the CDC and public health cabal and even the PresidentS (plural) of the United States will lie straight to the faces of babies and children and parents and young adults and old people about safety and efficacy. FC1CD473-CD93-4FCE-8E68-C438D92276F5

They are like infants discovering their hands. 

"Ooooh, what are these? They move! I, I, could it be? Is it... am I making them move? What are they? What do they -whoa! Whoa! It touched my big round ball thing and the tingly itch went away! Are they magic? This is so cool. I need to tell everyone about them!!!! WWWAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

It's a good thing that people are catching on. It's not good that many are learning the hard way. We sympathize. We empathize. We've lived it.

I am worried that as more people speak out against the safety and coercion of the mRNA vaccines, they will also run for cover by proclaiming that the pediatric schedule is now and ever shall be SAFE because it's been around for a long time. So. Have. Our. Children.

US Disabilities Project Tracks Changes in Disabilities Beginning in 2021

Cause Unknown Kindle Quote IntroWe've have been telling readers about Ed Dowd's book Cause Unknown for months. Dowd is a Founding Partner of Phinance Technologies.  One of their current Humanities Projects is to track and analyze the rates of disability since the rollout of the Covid vaccines in 2021. Below are links to their page with the six part analysis. We have been trying to "convince" the world that vaccines harmed our children for going on thirty years. At one time, we thought that the HPV vaccine would tip the scales of understanding. Surely teen girls and boys collapsing and suffering neurological damage would open eyes. Not so. Now, we have had the Covid mRNA vaccine rollout, pitting workers against companies, family against family, and so on. SIDS has become SADS. And so we wait to see the outcomes.  By the way, follow @DowdEdward on Twitter. His analysis of the current financial problems in the American economy is fantastic. And Happy Ides of March.

From Phinance Technologies Humanities Project:

How we see the world today

We live in a world where regulatory institutions are captured by financial and political interests, either unwilling or unable to get to the truth of the issues they set out to investigate and regulate on behalf of the individuals in society. Without unbiased and comprehensive research, there is a risk of misguided policy decisions at best, and at worst, negligence and malpractice. Never has this been more apparent than during the Covid-19 pandemic.

In this context, we need independent agents to act as gatekeepers of the public interest. We intend to be such agents, and to provide high-quality research to other individuals and institutions who seek similar outcomes.

Motivation

We do this because we believe that by empowering individuals with the most accurate data and analysis, they will be in a better position to make decisions on political and personal issues affecting their wellbeing.

We are inspired by and adhere closely to the Malone doctrine, which can be downloaded here.

US Disabilities Project

Layout of the disability analysis

The analysis of disabilities is split into 5 parts that can be read independently but are related and complement each other. Each section is written in a different web page within which at the top the user can find the links to navigate to the other sections. The 5 parts are:

Part 1 - Overview of the Data.

This part provides the overall description of the data and shows the historical time series of disability rates for different population cohorts and age groups. It allows us to put in perspective the changes in disability rates, that started in 2021.

Part 2 - Rise in disabilities from 2021.

This part provides a detailed examination of the changes in disabilities that occurred from early 2021, which coincided with the vaccine rollouts.

Part 3 - Relationship with Vaccine uptake.


This part analyses the relationship between the rise in disabilities with the Covid-19 vaccine rollout.

Part 4 - Relationship with Excess Deaths.


This part investigates the relationship between excess mortality and the rise in disabilities that ocurred since early 2021. It also provides us with an estimate of how many disabilities occurred for each excess death, during the period.

Part 5 - Relationship with SAEs in mRNA clinical trials


This part investigates the relationship between Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) from the mRNA clinical trials with the rise in disabilities that ocurred since early 2021.

Part 6 - Relationship with Severe AEs in Pfizer vaccine clinical trial

This part investigates the relationship between Adverse Events (AEs) and Severe Adverse Events (Sev AEs) from the Pfizer clinical trial with the rise in disabilities that ocurred since early 2021.

GET TRUMP THE THREAT TO CIVIL LIBERTIES, DUE PROCESS, AND OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RULE OF LAW

Mar 10, 2023, 3:36 PM (3 days ago)

By Alan Dershowitz

In Get Trump: The Threat to Civil Liberties, Due Process, and Our Constitutional Rule of Law, Alan Dershowitz—#1 New York Times bestselling author and one of America’s most respected legal scholars—analyses the unremitting efforts by political opponents of Donald Trump to “get” him—to stop him from running in 2024—at any cost.

Alan Dershowitz has been called “one of the most prominent and consistent defenders of civil liberties in America” by Politico and “the nation’s most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rights” by Newsweek.

Get Trump makes clear that unconstitutional efforts to stop Trump from retaking the presidency challenge the very foundations of our liberty: due process, right to counsel, and free speech. Those who justify these dangerous departures from the rule of law argue that the threat posed by a second Trump presidency is “different” and “immediate,” while the departures from constitutional norms are longer term and more abstract.

CHD Exclusive: Mother Sues D.C. Doctor Who Gave Kids COVID Vaccines Without Consent

Your_rightsParental consent has always been on our watch list. Recently, as transsexual ideation has swept through schools, the topic has reached a heated level. Even hotter than abortion. The push to allow minors to make healthcare decisions continues, disregarding parental input. But remember the inverse has been true as well. Parents who choose not to approve a medical procedure or product or tretment are quickly judged and can be punished. Perhaps the erosion of parental healthcare rights has been marching in this direction for decades.  As a teen, I thought I was grown up enough to make my own healthcare choices. That's just the teen brain. Smarter than everyone, until about age 25, right?

Exclusive: Mother Sues D.C. Doctor Who Gave Kids COVID Vacines Without Consent

Children’s Health Defense is funding a lawsuit by a D.C. mother alleging a doctor vaccinated two of her children for COVID-19 without her consent after falsely telling the teens the shots were required for school.

By 

Brenda Baletti, Ph.D.

The mother of two children who were given COVID-19 vaccines without the mother’s consent is suing the doctor who administered the vaccines.

An attorney representing NaTonya McNeil last week filed a lawsuit in Superior Court for the District of Columbia against Janine A. Rethy, M.D., M.P.H.

According to the complaint, on Sept. 2, 2022, McNeil took her two older children, ages 15 and 17, to the KIDS Mobile Medical Clinic/Ronald McDonald Care Mobile clinic, operated by Georgetown Hospital, to complete their required annual physical exam for the 2022-2023 school year.

The lawsuit alleges Rethy, director of the mobile clinic, held the children in the examination room longer than necessary for a regular check-up and vaccinated them against COVID-19 over their objections and without consulting their mother.

Lessons in Love and Living

Love pills wallpaperI subscribe to Jennifer Margulis Phd's Vibrant Life Substack newsletter. I've had the pleasure of meeting her. She wrote Your Baby Your Way Taking Charge of Your Pregnancy (which I just gave to a friend who is expecting.) She ran a guest post yesterday, with the recipe for a content life from a 96 year old. I'm not quite 96, but I'm not young any longer.  I'm a late summer single parent caring for 3 autistic adults. Aging as an autism care-parent has no manual. We are some of the first to care for autistic adult children into our own retirement (ha ha ha ha) years.  In the "outside world," the daily news is grim. The state of the nation is gloomy. Social media is rife with arguing and division. Now we're getting into the Presidential political season, which should be a nightmare of disrespectful discourse. I loved this article. It made me feel lighthearted and hopeful. And I'm proud to say, I'm already doing much of what she recommends.

Finally, a prescription we can all take, with the BEST side effects.  Kim

By Terri Crosby

Special to Vibrant Life

We could all learn a thing or two from my mother.

There are plenty of reasons to become discouraged as we age. For me, my eyesight has gotten worse. My neck bones make interesting sounds in yoga class. And my ability to come up with a word I need isn’t as quick as it used to be.

In addition, the longer we live, the more death we witness. So it’s no wonder that the aging process is daunting for most of us.

But not for my mom.

My mother, who’s 96 years old, seems to roll with it. Somehow, she comes to terms with what life hands her. Accepting change is possibly her number one superpower. She makes peace with what is.

Mom was born to Quaker parents on a fruit farm in Barnesville, Ohio. She’s slender, about 5’6”, with glasses, short, curly auburn hair, and plenty of freckles. As a young girl, her face was accidentally splashed with lye while making soap, but luckily the burn marks passed for dark freckles on her already freckled face.

The tradition in her Quaker Meeting was to send children to boarding school, which she did. But my mom never officially graduated. She had trouble with spelling and math.

When I was growing up, she was a full-time homemaker on our farm. She wore mostly housedresses and aprons, and I remember her complaints about being (as she called it) flat-chested. She was quick to laugh, and even quicker to love babies.

Most of her closest friends have died. Both of my brothers also died, at 50 and 65 years old. But, even so, my mom didn’t grow discouraged about life or become chronically lonely or sad. Instead, she came to accept their deaths. And she enjoys the family members who remain, and makes new friends to replace those who have passed on.

She inspires everyone who knows her.

Here are seven of her secrets to living a long, healthy, vibrant life.

The author’s mom laughing with Beth, who is a friend from her Quaker meeting in Iowa (where she moved after she married the author’s father). Beth also loves to quilt. Terri says her mom’s quilting group still meets every Thursday and her mom always calls them from wherever she is to check in.

1. Treat Everyone Like Family

Mom believes in the goodness of people. She is kind to strangers. Kindness is her default.

When shopping, she treats the people who help her as if they are her daughters and sons, no matter their age.

She makes it clear that she loves them and appreciates them. She calls young women “honey” and looks into their eyes to thank them for helping her find what she needs. They melt.

Some of them, I’m sure, wish she was their very own grandma.

2. Approach Each Day with Enthusiasm

At age 96, my mom still approaches each day with enthusiasm. Mom cleans, does laundry, and looks after the dog. She reads large print books, makes quilts, and does needlework. She has a smartphone and calls friends, but she doesn’t text, take photos, or search anything on the internet.

Mom lives with my sister, my sister’s husband, and their adopted son Ramon. All in all, she figures that being surrounded by people to love is a good reason to wake up every morning. For her, being smack dab in the middle of a bustling household helps her look forward to the next moment, the next day, and the next year. She prefers not to take naps during family gatherings because she might miss something!

Russell Brand on Media

MediaThanks to The Defender from Children's Health Defense for this article on Russell Brand's insight. It seems media has already formed into silos, and that's a big part of the problem we face. No one wants to peek at the other silos. No one believes that the grain over there is as good as the grain in OUR silo. In fact, we think it's rotten. I'd rather see FEWER media channels, but ones that allow independent thought. The pie has been sliced with a razorblade. In the morning, I listen to the POTUS channel on Sirius XM. Mostly for Michael Smerconish, whose theme song is "Stuck in the Middle with You." He allows callers from all walks of life and political POVs, He covers stories from the center out in a radius. It's 2023 and we are more segmented than ever. Do you remember the old CNN show called "CROSSFIRE?" It was fantastic. A Liberal and a Conservative taking on topics. Tucker Carlson was one of the hosts! Is more media the answer?

We Need to Create Our Own Media Channels if We Want the Truth, Russell Brand Says

After lambasting mainstream media for its coverage of COVID-19 news, comedian and political commentator Russell Brand said we need to create “our own channels, our own media, our own communication so that we can reach truth together.”

By

Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D

Mainstream media would have us believe COVID-19 is the only possible explanation for an increase in fatal heart attacks among young people during the pandemic — but that explanation didn’t sit well with comedian and political commentator Russell Brand.

Brand mocked CBS News and the experts it interviewed about a study that showed the number of heart attack deaths during the first two years of the pandemic was 30% higher than predicted for ages 25 to 44.

The CBS report never mentioned the numerous variables that may have contributed to the increase, Brand said.

“They got through the whole report without mentioning lockdowns or vaccines — which it would seem ought to be part of any reasonable debate and exploration into what has caused this 30% spike in heart disease,” Brand told viewers.

Instead, CBS ended its report by telling viewers the increase is “something to go and see your doctor and check yourself about.”

“So that’s the conclusion?!” Brand said.

Fat lionSkyhorse Publishings Arcade imprint publishes acclaimed novelist Bruce WagnerROAR; states Wagner: “My previous novel, The Marvel Universe, was canceled because of the word fat.’  Im as depressed as I am thrilled to share this honor with Roald Dahl.”

Buy ROAR here.

Skyhorse Publishing recognizes that the editing methods of the publishing industry have made headlines this week, as it’s been reported that Roald Dahl’s books have been censored and altered by his publisher. The watchdogs that the publishing industry calls “sensitivity readers” have removed or replaced potentially problematic language from the beloved writer’s work. The word “fat” among many others has now disappeared from the Dahl Universe. The work of acclaimed novelist Bruce Wagner (I'm Losing You, Dead Stars) has also been impacted by this publishing trend.

“My previous novel The Marvel Universe faced similar controversy when sensitivity readers flagged ‘problematic language’—including the word ‘fat,’” Wagner explained. “I ended my contract with my previous book publisher when they explained that more than 80 percent of the book’s pages would need to be blacked out.”

Wagner’s critically acclaimed oeuvre (praised by Salman Rushdie, Sigrid Nunez, Terry Southern, Francine Prose, and Emma Cline) is a dizzying mix of the spiritual and profane. The New York Times said that his novel The Empty Chair “would make a fine fictional companion to the Trappist monk Thomas Merton’s writings on spiritual outrage and the impossibility of solace.”

Wagner—who has been dubbed “Hollywood’s master of satire” by Sam Wasson, one of the great chroniclers of Hollywood lore—insisted he’s never faced censorship with the dozen novels he’d written before, “which probably amounts to over a million words.”

Skyhorse Publishing's Tony Lyons, who released Wagner's latest novel under the storied Arcade imprint in November of 2022 (ROAR: Roger Orr: American Master, The Oral Biography), said, “Skyhorse Publishing takes the strongest possible stance against all forms of censorship.”

Before finding Skyhorse, Wagner had been “courted” by another East Coast publisher, who was “initially enthusiastic” about ROAR, but “ultimately said they could not publish the book because it was ‘problematic.’”

While Wagner said he is “pleased to have found the right home for ROAR, which was published in its entirety,” he also voiced his concern for the future of literature: “Soon the libraries will burn and be replaced by new ones, courtesy of the Great Sensitivity Reader: chatGPT. The current scourge of sensitivity armies will be quaint canaries in the coal mine of the AI Dark Ages."

Bruce Wagner’s ROAR has been called “a delightful fictional oral history” by Publisher’s Weekly, noting that his “steel-trap knowledge of the entertainment world and fantastical imagination keep readers along for the ride.”

ROAR: Roger Orr: American Master, The Oral Biography is a fictional saga told by over forty narrators, and is available in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook.

About Bruce Wagner
Bruce Wagner has written twelve novels and bestsellers, including the famous “Cellphone Trilogy,” I’m Losing You (PEN USA finalist), I’ll Let You Goand Still Holding), Dead Stars, The Empty Chair,and the PEN/Faulkner-finalist Chrysanthemum Palace.  He wrote the screenplay for David Cronenberg’s film Maps to the Stars, for which Julianne Moore won Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival in 2014. In 1993, Wagner wrote and created the visionary mini-series Wild Palms for producer Oliver Stone and co-wrote (with Ullman) three seasons the acclaimed Tracey Ullman’s State of the Union.  He has written essays and articles for the New York Times, Artforum and the New Yorker.  His latest book ROAR: Roger Orr: American Master, The Oral Biography is available in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook.

An enemy Ibsen  Kennedy

An Enemy of the People

In his foreword, Kennedy alerts readers to the undeniable fact that the persecution of those who tell uncomfortable truths, which Ibsen described over one hundred years ago, continues to this day and is as relevant now as ever. We face environmental deregulation and degradation, politicians in lobbyists’ pockets, attacks on facts that are agreed upon by reputable scientists, corporate funded and controlled research, and attempts to impede and suppress whistleblowers. The battle continues and Kennedy joins Ibsen on the front lines.

Robert Kennedy Jr Connects Ibsen's An Enemy of The People to the 20th & 21st Centuries

ED2B2B6F-2606-4AEF-9DA7-A3B0969ABF00 Henrik Ibsen wrote Enemy of the People in 1882. In this new edition from Skyhorse Publishing, Robert Kennedy Jr  lays bare how "science" (including you, Dr. Fauci) has fought so hard against iconoclasts whose work questions their ironclad conclusions. Perhaps science has always been just like the religion it was purported to supplant? The recent train derailment in E. Palestine, Ohio dovetails with Kennedy's foreword perfectly.  In 2010, Mark Blaxill wrote, "From The Roman to the Wakefield Inquisition," about Dr. Wakefield's brutal treatment by the GMC. His crime? Listening to distraught parents of autistic children and using his medical knowledge to make a hypothesis. The concept of the hypothesis has been eradicated in most circles. "A hypothesis is an assumption, an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true."

From Amazon:

Environmentalist, activist, and attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr. contributes a foreword to this Skyhorse edition of Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen’s renowned 1882 play.

Regarded as one of the foremost playwrights of the nineteenth century, Henrik Ibsen tells the story of the idealist Doctor Thomas Stockmann, the medical officer of a recently opened spa in a small town in southern Norway, who finds that the water is seriously contaminated. He notifies members of the community and initially receives support and thanks for the discovery. Threatened by the possible impact of such a revelation, his brother, the town mayor, conspires with local politicians and the newspaper to suppress the story and pressure Dr. Stockmann to retract his statements.

At a public meeting, an attempt is made to keep Dr. Stockmann from speaking, but he launches into a tirade condemning the corruption of the town and the tyranny of the majority. Finding his speech offensive, he is shouted down by the masses and reviled as "an enemy of the people."

In his foreword, Kennedy alerts readers to the undeniable fact that the persecution of those who tell uncomfortable truths, which Ibsen described over one hundred years ago, continues to this day and is as relevant now as ever. We face environmental deregulation and degradation, politicians in lobbyists’ pockets, attacks on facts that are agreed upon by reputable scientists, corporate funded and controlled research, and attempts to impede and suppress whistleblowers.

Truth Be Told by Lou Conte on Pfizer's Veterinarian Vaccine Maker and Flying Pigs?

Pigs fly 2Please check out Lou Conte's SubStack called "Truth Be Told." Lou's super power (one of them) is that his decades of law enforcement work in the Westchester County (NY) Sex Offender Probations department gave him a keen insight into LIARS.  And that comes in handy in the autism vaccine injury world. After his retirement, Lou became a LIE DETECTOR.  He's a forensic Psychophysiologist (Polygraph Examiner). In his recent article on Substack, he takes on Albert Bourla of Pfizer.

Albert Bourla: The veterinarian vaccine maker who made pigs fly.

Louis Conte’s The Truth be Told: Exploring corruption, controversy, and deception in today’s world from the perspective of a forensic psychophysiologist (Polygraph Examiner).

Louis Conte is a professional Polygraph Examiner, investigator, and writer. In addition to the thousands of offenders he interviewed over his thirty-three years in law enforcement, Conte has conducted over fourteen hundred polygraph examinations. He uses well-honed observation skills to ferret out the truth. Observation and careful attention to words and behavior often reveal the truth.

Dr. Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer is regarded as the strong, relentless leader who pushed his staff to develop and produce the Covid vaccine, Comirnaty, in partnership with a German company, BioNTech. Bourla has made Pfizer’s mRNA Covid vaccine the most profitable vaccine in history. Pfizer’s revenues doubled in 2021.

Bourla is a veterinarian and, according to Wikipedia, his doctoral thesis (1991) is titled "Effect of melatonin implants on sperm characteristics and on the freeze-ability of Karagouniki Ram semen." Bourla is also a noteworthy figure in the pork industry for his work on a pharmaceutical product which eradicated “Boar Taint.” This is the offensive odor or taste produced during the cooking of pork products derived from non-castrated male pigs once they reach puberty. In other words, Albert Bourla made pigs smell and taste better.

Under Bourla’s leadership, a vaccine that should have taken ten years to bring to market was ready in just eight months. The man who began his career doing pharmaceutical research on goats and pigs is portrayed as the brilliant CEO who made the impossible, possible. The old Scottish idiom - When pigs fly - comes to mind. When Bourla claimed his vaccine’s effectiveness was 96% in November of 2020, the pigs actually flew.

Many industry experts raised concerns about a vaccine that was brought to market in just eight months. Bourla insisted no safety corners were cut. He even found time to write a New York Times Bestseller about the project - Moonshot: Inside Pfizer's Nine-Month Race to Make the Impossible Possible.

No Evidence Sure Sounds Familiar

No evidence of harm covidI've been watching the news about the Norfolk Southern train derailment in E. Palestine, Ohio. Folks in Connecticut reported a white film on their cars, and chemical smell in the air. Canadians have posted photos of melting snow that leaves a petrol rainbow on the ground. People who locked themselves in their homes for several months, refused visitors, kept their kids home from school, and wore masks have been LAUGHING at those wondering if the air and water is safe. After all, the experts who told us there was a plague on all of our houses, have said the air and water is safe.

Over the weekend, I heard an expert say "there's no evidence of problems with the water" and I snorted out loud.  And this article about the air:

EPA reports ‘no evidence’ of unsafe air, water in Beaver County as residents remain cautious

No evidence is code for "we haven't looked, and if we have looked we aren't telling you we looked and didn't like what we found." Weasel words and phrases are the stock in trade for liars, cookie jar raiders, politicians, greedy corporate legal departments and other scoundrels. "No evidence" NEVER means there is NO danger. It simply means that experts haven't seen or looked at the data that clearly says there is harm. Or it's simply too soon to know. There was a book written more than 15 years ago called "Evidence of Harm" by David Kirby that summed up the disaster that was and is the pediatric vaccine schedule. No one had bothered to count the micrograms of mercury in the pediatric schedule, even as doses were added like SaltBae seasons his soup. Take a look at the graphic about the Covid vaccine and pregnant women. Of course there was no evidence of harm - no time had passed. No babies had been born or perished. By not looking, officials can tell citizens not to worry with a straight face. And a crooked heart.

Bomb Train’ in Ohio Sickens Residents After Railroad Cutbacks, Corporate Greed Led to Toxic Disaster

Fears of a wider health and environmental disaster are growing, after a 150-car freight train operated by Norfolk Southern derailed and a so-called controlled burn released toxic chemicals last week in East Palestine, Ohio.

Fears of a wider health and environmental disaster are growing, after a 150-car freight train operated by Norfolk Southern derailed and a so-called controlled burn released toxic chemicals last week in East Palestine, Ohio.

Residents reported seeing a fireball and mushroom cloud of smoke fill the skyline. Data released by the Environmental Protection Agency shows the train contained more toxic and carcinogenic chemicals than initially reported, including phosgene, a poisonous gas that has been used as a chemical weapon in war.

Officials lifted an evacuation order for residents last Wednesday, saying the air and water were safe, but residents have reported sore throats, burning eyes and respiratory problems, and wildlife has been found dead.

Meanwhile, scrutiny has turned onto Norfolk Southern, which in recent years has challenged regulatory laws aimed at making the rail industry safer and made mass cuts to railroad staffing while spending billions on stock buybacks and executive compensation.

We get an update from Emily Wright, community organizer based near the site of the derailment; Ross Grooters, a locomotive engineer and co-chair of Railroad Workers United; and Julia Rock, an investigative reporter with The Lever.  READ MORE and WATCH VIDEO at THE DEFENDER.
