Zika: update from Brazil: towering non-evidence

Zika: update from Brazil: towering non-evidence

I can now provide the latest update on what researchers in Brazil are discovering, as they dig into their original findings about the Zika virus and cases of microcephaly (babies born with small heads and brain impairment).

A correspondent has offered a translation of an article that appeared in one of the major Sao Paulo newspapers, O Estado de São Paulo, on February 2nd, “País tem 404 casos confirmados de microcefalia”:

It is obvious that no significant connection between microcephaly and the Zika virus has been found. It’s not even close. So far, therefore, there is absolutely no reason to trumpet an epidemic of Zika. Doing so is quite insane, by any reasonable standard.

Here are the principal facts in the article (after which I’ll comment):

* As of January 30, 2016, 4,783 suspected cases of microcephaly were reported in Brazil.

* Of those, 3,670 suspected cases of microcephaly, covering the entire country of Brazil, are being investigated.

* Of those 3,670, 404 cases have been confirmed as microcephaly or “other alterations in the central nervous system” of babies.

* Of those 404 cases, 17 “had a relationship with zika virus.”

* 98% of the 404 microcephaly cases come from the Northeast area of Brazil, and in that area, Pernambuco has the highest number of cases: 56.

Now, let’s take each one of these reported facts and examine it.

First: 4,783 suspected cases of microcephaly in Brazil. “Suspected” is the operative word. This number means nothing, because it says nothing about confirmation. It’s just a raw figure.

3,670 of these cases are being researched.

Of these 3,670, 404 have been confirmed as microcephaly or other alterations in the central nervous system of the babies. The key word here is “or.” The researchers don’t know how many of the 404 babies have microcephaly. At the very most, it would be 404. 404 cases of microcephaly in the whole country of Brazil, so far. That is not an epidemic. For example, every year in the US, there are 25,000 cases of microcephaly. And the literature is very clear about causes: any insult to the fetal brain during pregnancy can result in microcephaly. Severe malnutrition, falling down stairs, a blow to the stomach, a toxic street drug or medical drug or vaccine or pesticide, and so on.

Of these 404 cases of (possible) microcephaly in Brazil, 17 babies have been found who “have a relationship with the Zika virus.” It’s hard to be more vague. But for the sake of argument, let’s say that in each of the 17, with a correct test done properly, the Zika virus was isolated. This finding does not even remotely approach proof that Zika is causing microcephaly. It’s miles away from proof. Any honest researcher will tell you that. If Zika were the cause, researchers should have been able to find it in the overwhelming majority of the 404 babies. 17 out of 404 is, in fact, major evidence that Zika is not the cause.

98% of the 404 (possible) microcephaly cases come from the Northeast region of Brazil. Before jumping to any conclusions, realize that standards on reporting such cases differ from region to region. Up until now, there was no national focus on microcephaly. So there may be other cases from other regions. As for the 56 cases in Pernambuco, understand that the population of this area is 9.27 million people. It is significant to note that commercial agriculture is widespread in Pernambuco, and agriculture means toxic pesticides—an important causal factor in microcephaly, as I’ve detailed in other articles.

power outside the matrix

To sum up, researchers so far have found 404 cases of microcephaly in Brazil, and who knows how many of those are actually some other kind of nervous-system impairment. And of those 404 babies, they have found, at best, 17 cases where the Zika virus was present.

And this is the epidemic that is shaking the world.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is spearheading the baseless propaganda and the hysteria. At the very least, hundreds of employees from WHO should be immediately fired from their jobs, if not jailed.

Zika: Jon Levine of mic.com interviews me

Zika: Jon Levine of mic.com interviews me

by Jon Rappoport

February 4, 2016

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

I now have a strategy when any member of the press who could be considered “mainstream” or “almost mainstream” interviews me. I’m interviewing them, too, at the same time.

Then, when they publish something, people can see the difference between their account and mine. I like it.

I’m noting what they say to me and how they’re approaching me and the issue at hand—and I’m writing about it afterwards.

So I get an email from Jon Levine at mic.com (Jon Levine’s mic.com profile here) (mic.com’s twitter feed is here). He wants to talk to me about possible alternative explanations re Zika, or some such, he leaves a number, and I call him.

He expresses some interest in one of my Zika articles he read at Activist Post, and asks me a question. Wait, I say, is this on the record? (I thought we were just chatting or this was for background only.) Yes, he says, now, it’s on the record. Are you interviewing me? I ask. Yes, he says. Not my favorite way to begin an interview.

I figure, what the hell, so I give him an earful. I cite the latest figures out of Brazil, the center of the Zika-microcephaly “crisis.” 404 confirmed cases of microcephaly (or possibly some other kind of non-microcephaly nervous-system impairment), and of those 404 cases, only 17 “with a relationship to the Zika virus,” whatever the hell that means. In other words, zero science proving there is either a microcephaly epidemic or that Zika has anything to do with it. I hammer on this for a while with him. I want him to get the point.

He asks me why I think all this press coverage of the “outbreak” is happening, or maybe he asks me what other explanation there could be for the cases of microcephaly, or something like this—can’t remember—I didn’t take notes—and I say I’m not going there. I don’t want his readers to focus on some alternative scenario, I want them to focus on the science, of which there is none.

I keep pounding on the latest figures out of Brazil, I do mention corporations that need to be protected down there as they spew toxic pesticides all over the landscape—and, for example, atrazine has been linked to microcephaly.

I hit the World Health Organization for fomenting all this hysteria based on no science, but instead relying on “suspicion” and fear of “not acting soon enough,” which was, they say, a problem in the Ebola “outbreak.” He says something like, well, doesn’t “over-caution” (my term) make sense? And I fling around a few expletives and say no, it makes no sense at all, because there is no indication of an epidemic or the involvement of Zika—and the burden of proof is on the people who launched the announcement of the “epidemic” in the first place.

I tell him I’ve been around the block on these so-called epidemics before, and he asks for an example (of a phony epidemic), and I tell him: Swine Flu.

I then recount the whole Sharyl Attkisson-CBS story about how she discovered, at the height of the Swine Flu hysteria, that the CDC had stopped counting cases in America, and that was because the overwhelming numbers of blood samples from diagnosed Swine Flu patients and the most likely Swine flu cases were coming back from the labs with no sign of Swine Flu or any flu—and that story, by Sharyl, was put up on the CBS News website, and her editor told her it was the most original story on Swine Flu he’d seen—but when they tried to get the story on the network evening news, it was suddenly shot down, and that was that. And then I added my own piece: a few weeks later, the CDC, doubling and tripling down, estimated there were 22 MILLION cases of Swine Flu in America (which even by CDC standards for telling lies wall to wall had to rank up there among their greatest bullshit hits).

I didn’t get much of a reaction from Jon Levine of mic.com. All through the interview, he suppressed, or never had, a surprised reaction to any of my comments. I suppose this is a fine example of journalistic objectivity.

I told him there was no way he could take the actual facts about Zika-microcephaly and write them straight out for his news outlet and expose the entire scam and get the story published. It wouldn’t happen. If it did, his reputation would take a serious hit. I think I mentioned that I knew that and that he knew that, too.

power outside the matrix

That was pretty much that. So let’s see what happens. Let’s see if he publishes a Zika piece at mic.com. If he does, let’s see if he mentions the interview, and how, and in what context. Let’s see what he does with it. Let’s see if he or anyone else at mic.com goes to the CDC or WHO for a comment or, God forbid, actually digs into this insane scandal. Let’s see. Keep your eyes open. If a piece does appear, let me know. My interview with Jon Levine took place on Thurs. Feb. 4.

If I were in Vegas and could lay down money on the outcome, I think you know which way I’d go. But that’s just me.

Zika: vicious fraud: abortions at sea: the war on women

by Jon Rappoport

February 4, 2016

(To join our email list, click here.)

You’re a pregnant woman in Central America. You’ve just been told you could have the Zika virus. No tests. No confirmation. And of course, no one is telling you that Zika has not been proved to cause anything. But you’re offered an abortion at sea, because the country you live in doesn’t allow abortions, except in very restricted cases. A group will take you out on a ship, and when you come back your baby will be gone. He or she will never be born. You’re just another casualty in the campaign to provoke fear, but now it has been your very personal experience.

February 3, 2016. Vocative.com has the story, “Pregnant Zika victims will be given access to abortions at sea”:

“Now Women on Waves, an organization which uses ships to offer safe abortion services outside the territorial waters of countries where the procedure is restricted or forbidden, has announced that they will begin serving areas affected by Zika.”

“Women on Waves is aiming to give them [pregnant women] a safe, legal alternative. They will provide medical abortions to pregnant women who have Zika in Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, Guadeloupe, Paraguay, Venezuela, Argentina, Surinam, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. Eligible women must be less than 9 weeks pregnant and are required to fill out an online application to receive the abortifacient drugs. The group has said getting a shipment of the medicine to patients can take between one and five weeks, meaning it will require a woman who discovers she’s pregnant to act very quickly to receive help in time.”

As I’ve detailed in previous articles, the original propaganda which launched the whole Zika-birth defect hysteria, has been contradicted by Brazilian researchers who’ve gone back and rechecked the findings. They’ve found far, far fewer cases of the birth defect, microcephaly, and only a handful of cases where the Zika virus was present.

But this hasn’t stopped the fear mongers. And now we have abortions at sea, based on zero truth and zero science.

Put this together with the travel warnings governments have been issuing to women, and the advisories (“don’t get pregnant for two years”), and this is turning out to be a war against women.

Depopulation by press conference.

Who will be held responsible? No one.

Unless people begin to speak out and ignore the roar of the press and the lying public health agencies.

The abortions will continue. Pregnant women will never know the truth, that the loss of their children was created by propaganda.

(To read about Jon’s collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

Margaret Chan, the director of the World Health Organization, has admitted that the causal connection between microcephaly (the birth defect) and the Zika virus has not been demonstrated. It is “strongly suspected.” However, in order to respond quickly to the “crisis,” the world must act on a suspicion.

Someone should point out to her that abortions at sea are now a consequence of what her advisors have told her to suspect.

Zika: sex and bloodsucking vampire bugs: the movie

Zika: sex and bloodsucking vampire bugs: the movie

by Jon Rappoport

February 3, 2016

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

Evidence? Who cares about evidence? You give people the mere announcement of an outbreak plus a virus and they’ll cling to it as if it’s a long-lost relative who’s about to die and leave them a billion dollars.

In two previous articles, I laid to rest the notion that anyone has proved there is an epidemic of microcephaly or that the Zika virus causes microcephaly. Those articles are: Zika freaka: the other shoe drops: lying about case numbers and Zika: biggest news service in America absolutely clueless.

Bottom line: Brazilian researchers have only been able to confirm, so far, 270 cases of microcephaly, not 4000 as originally trumpeted. And of those 270 cases, only six, that’s six, were found to have any trace of the Zika virus. If that’s an epidemic, a floor lamp can jump up and sing I’ve Got You Under My Skin in Mandarin Chinese.

But now the Centers for Disease Control has upped the ante—a few cases of “Zika-virus transmission” through, wait for it, sex, have been discovered. The tiny Zika terrorist is riding in semen. OMG. OMG.

Put this together with biting bloodsucking mosquitoes carrying Zika and you have a blockbuster boffo box office movie. Put it up on IMAX. Who will they pick to do the Voice of God narration?

Let’s see. Transmission of a virus through sex. The virus hasn’t been shown to cause anything. Conclusion? No fear. But that doesn’t sell. That doesn’t titillate. So forget about evidence or proof. Just market the damn movie.

Here are the old standby memes: “Spread. Transmission of the virus. Infected. Carrier. New cases with the virus.”

What we’re left with, at this point, are these garbage terms the public swallows without inspection. That goes for news reporters as well, and many, many scientists. These key phrases are intended to create caution and fear, as authorities map Zika journeys from city to city and country to country.

So I’ll quickly break down the memes and reveal them for the slugs they are.

“Spread.” For a virus that has existed for who knows how long (it was first discovered in 1947), the notion of spread is moronic. Of course it spreads. It walks down the street, it takes the subway, it hails a cab, it jumps on a plane, it crawls through the woods, it rides via semen, it stands up on stage and runs a quiz show. It’s already been around the world a few thousand times and it’s already in people’s bodies from Tierra del Fuego to Nome. So? What do we have? A virus which hasn’t been shown to cause microcephaly or any serious illness is everywhere. Big deal. There are millions of different viruses. Most of them do nothing. They hang out, once they’re in a place they like, and they watch The Young and the Restless. They spread, but basically they’re already there.

“Transmission of the virus.” Ditto. I just explained that. The answer is yes and so what.

“Carrier.” Ditto again. You might have Zika. And you, too. So what?

“New cases with the virus.” Ditto one more time. Except the people with Zika in their bodies aren’t cases. They may carry cases, as in suitcases. They may try cases, as in lawyers. But they aren’t cases.

“Infected.” This word suggests a person has a virus and the virus is causing a problem. Inflammation, swelling, fever. Even accepting the traditional literature on Zika, all we see are minor symptoms and brief discomfort. It wasn’t until very recently that anyone suggested Zika is causing microcephaly. And, as I’ve shown, this notion was premature, without supporting evidence. There was no reason for the press explosion, for suggestions of an epidemic, for government and health agency pronouncements about a worldwide emergency.

As an investigator, you have to go back to the beginning. Whenever an announcement of an “outbreak” is made, and a cause is trumpeted, you have to find out how many cases of the disease actually exist. Is it really an outbreak? And then you have to look for evidence that the presumed cause is really causing anything. If you don’t look deeply into those questions, you’ll climb on board the train that has been prepared for you and take the ride. You may then come up with ideas about how the cause was “secretly introduced,” but if the purported cause isn’t the cause, and if there isn’t an epidemic, what do you have?

In the case of Brazil, genetically engineered mosquitoes and the Tdap vaccine, for example, are important factors to explore, because they can certainly have destructive effects on health. Yes. But to use those factors to explain “what’s really going on with the epidemic and the Zika virus”—you’re still riding on the basic propaganda train where there is no actual evidence of an epidemic or a harmful virus.

Unfortunately, most people are disappointed when an exotic piece of charlatan dazzle turns out to be a dud. They would rather believe, instead of experiencing the feeling of being left with nothing.

They would rather go to the movies and watch flying little demons sucking blood from unsuspecting humans and injecting those humans with invisible microscopic sub-demons and, in the wake of that, sex turns out to be a catastrophe of global proportions. That’s a two-hour jolt of adrenaline.

That’s worth the price of the ticket.

That’s show-biz.

power outside the matrix

Let me put it to you this way. If you had a few billion bucks and straight-line control of fawning media, you could concoct the most ridiculous and absurd story of fear anyone ever heard of, and the networks would blast it out as absolute fact. And people all over the world would believe it and tremble. And then, when that story was absolutely exposed as pure invention, there would still be many people who would say: “But maybe the story is true. Maybe it is. Maybe there really are green-eyed people born with a special genetic defect that makes them travel to Tahiti and shovel snow 365 days a year on the beaches, and maybe they can pass this defect along to the locals and then the defect is transmitted around the world and people will shovel imaginary snow 24/7, day after day, until they weaken and fall down and go into a coma. Yes, it could be. It would be unwise of me to reject the possibility, because if it’s true…”

That’s how fear is sold and stays sold, no matter what.

The “if it’s true” tag line.

That’s what the sleazy hustlers put on the movie posters, my friends, under the pictures of the flying demons:

“What if it’s true?”

That’s the eternal hook.

Zika: biggest news service in America absolutely clueless

Zika: biggest news service in America absolutely clueless

by Jon Rappoport

February 2, 2016

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

First, many thanks to great investigative reporter and researcher, Jim West, for help on this story.

Okay, here we go.

Of course, I’m talking about the Associated Press (AP)—and its recent coverage of the Zika story: January 27, “270 of 4,180 suspected microcephaly cases confirmed.”

AP actually had its hands on the most explosive information possible, it reported that information in one stunning paragraph, and then it let that paragraph sit there like a dead corpse. It didn’t do anything with it. Just another day at the office. Connect the dots? See the implications? Never heard of it.

To set this up, earlier in the story, AP revealed that Brazilian researchers have been re-checking their own work on Zika, and lo and behold, the original 4,180 cases of babies born with small heads and brain impairment (microcephaly) have turned out to be only 270.

The Brazilians are going through more records. But so far, the “epidemic” is not even close to an epidemic. The whole story that has spread all over the world was based on 4,180 cases. Without that number, there would have been no story.

The AP piece then goes on to revelation number two. This is even more stunning:

“Brazilian officials said the babies with the defect [microcephaly/small heads, brain damage] and their mothers are being tested to see if they had been infected. Six of the 270 confirmed microcephaly cases were found to have the [Zika] virus.” (emphasis added)

Hello, AP? Anyone home? Pick up. Don’t you see what you’re reporting? Don’t you get it?

So far, there are only six confirmed cases where a baby was born with microcephaly and also had the Zika virus. Six cases. That’s six.

And on that basis, health agencies and governments and media outlets all over the world are going crazy with warnings about the Zika virus.

There is absolutely no evidence that Zika is causing anything here. Zero evidence.

To even begin to think a virus is causing a condition, you must be able to show that the virus is present in the overwhelming majority of cases.

That test has not been passed re Zika. It has utterly failed thus far.

With this information, the Associated Press did nothing. They didn’t press the experts. They didn’t go anywhere. They didn’t ask questions. They reported the bombshell…and then they walked away.

There’s more. In their story, AP reaches out to a representative of the CDC. The subject is the number of microcephaly cases in the US every year. They’re doing a comparison between the US and Brazil. AP states:

“The United States, with about 4 million births a year, has an estimated 2,500 cases of microcephaly a year, said Margaret Honein, a CDC epidemiologist.”

The reader of the article shrugs and moves on. There’s only one problem. The CDC epidemiologist is dead wrong. Or the AP misprinted the number. Incompetently. Or on purpose. Who can say? I can’t, because although I phoned the AP yesterday and left a message about the egregious error, they haven’t gotten back to me. The AP error, you see, is this:

It isn’t 2,500 cases a year. It’s 25,000. As in thousand.

Every year in the US—and the conventional medical literature is very clear on this—there are 25,000 babies born with microcephaly.

(See “Practice Parameter: Evaluation of the child with microcephaly (an evidence-based review)”; Neurology 2009 Sep 15; 73(11) 887-897; Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology and the Practice Committee of the Child Neurology Society.)

Why is this significant? Because, obviously, the Zika virus isn’t the cause. In fact, the same literature states that any insult to the fetal brain during pregnancy can cause microcephaly. The mother falls down the stairs. She is severely malnourished. She ingests a poison, a street drug, a toxic medical drug.

But if the AP, in its story, had published the actual number of microcephaly cases in the US every year (25,000 not 2,500), and compared it to the known number of microcephaly cases in Brazil at this point (270), people might wake up and say, “Why is Brazil the focus? Why is the situation in Brazil causing a worldwide crisis? Are the World Health Organization and the CDC crazy?

The answer to that last question, of course, is yes. But not just crazy. First and foremost, they’re liars.

Referring back to my original point about the Brazilian researchers finding only 270 confirmed cases of microcephaly, and then only six of those with the Zika virus, the World Health Organization has taken that information and spun it—and media outlets have followed suit. The 270 Brazilian cases of microcephaly are now coupled with the phrase: “…with evidence of an infection.”

Let me translate that clever piece of manipulation. The implication is: all 270 cases also have the Zika virus. That’s what “infected” means.

Not just six cases with the virus. No. All 270 cases.

A lie.

power outside the matrix

So, all you women who are thinking about having a baby: don’t. Don’t get pregnant. Don’t travel to 22 countries. Believe the authorities. They know what’s best for you. They always do. Surely, there’s a global epidemic underway. Out of nine billion people, 270 in Brazil have microcephaly, and six of those have the virus that could impair your baby. This makes perfect sense. Of course it does. If you have the thinking power of a rock. If you’re committed to a life of abject fear, based on nothing.

Perhaps it’s dawning on some of you that we’re in the wrong business. We should be starting our own branch of Fear, Inc. Our product would sell like crazy.

Or we could just put the World Health Organization on our personal terror watch list.

Zika Hoax: five things that will happen next

Zika Hoax: five things that will happen next

by Jon Rappoport

February 2, 2016

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

Microcephaly = babies born with small heads and brain impairment.

In previous articles, I established that the Zika virus uproar is a hoax. There was no reason to assume the number of Brazilian cases of microcephaly was extraordinary. There is no reason to assume the Zika virus has anything to do with microcephaly.

My previous quote:

“Now we have a January 27 Associated Press story out of Rio, published in SFGate: ‘270 of 4,180 suspected microcephaly cases confirmed.’ That’s called a clue, in case you’re wondering. Of the previously touted 4,180 cases of microcephaly in Brazil, the actual number of confirmed cases so far is, well, only 270. Bang. But wait, there’s more. AP: ‘Brazilian officials said the babies with the defect [microcephaly] and their mothers are being tested to see if they had been infected. Six of the 270 confirmed microcephaly cases were found to have the [Zika] virus.’ Bang, bang, bang. Out of all the microcephaly cases re-examined in Brazil, only six have the Zika virus. That constitutes zero proof that Zika has anything to do with microcephaly.”

But of course, The Machine is rolling and it will move forward. Also, a number of independent investigators are behind the curve. They are still assuming there is proof of a Zika-microcephaly “epidemic.” If there is proof, it is nowhere to be found yet.

Here are five things that will happen next.

One: Health agencies and reporters will mention cases of microcephaly in other countries, and they will automatically connect them to the Zika virus, or they will suggest there could be a connection. This baseless claim is part of the operation to build up the story and spread fear. Microcephaly can be caused by any insult to the brain during fetal development.

Two: There will be more stories about the rush to develop a vaccine against Zika, the virus that hasn’t been proved to cause anything serious.

Three: Some independent researchers will continue to insist that Zika is actually a weaponized biowar virus. They will ignore the fact that, as yet, Zika hasn’t been shown to cause microcephaly. Or they will point to genetically engineered mosquitoes and the Tdap vaccine as the cause of the Zika epidemic—when there is no proof the epidemic exists. Yes, the vaccine and the mosquitoes are quite dangerous to health, but there is no reason to tout a Zika/microcephaly epidemic when proof isn’t there.

Four: The truth here is: absence of evidence. On the one hand, the CDC and the World Health Organization will grudgingly admit it would be useful to assemble more hard evidence connecting Zika to microcephaly. On the other hand, they will press forward with emergency warnings to pregnant mothers; travel advisories; and they will emphasize the need to come up with a vaccine. Then, they’ll forget all about the need for more evidence.

Five: Investigators and researchers will ignore the fact that there is a very real health crisis in Brazil, and it has existed for a long time. The rampant use of toxic pesticides, grinding poverty, contaminated water, lack of basic sanitation, overcrowding, the takeover of farm land by major corporations, prior toxic vaccine campaigns—these are all factors that cause massive illness, suffering, and death in Brazil.

Again, I emphasize: The release of genetically engineered mosquitoes in Brazil, based on no health studies, is a crime, to say the least. But there is no need to claim these insects are causing an epidemic of microcephaly—since there is no evidence of an epidemic. There is every reason to oppose this GE mosquito campaign.

For the past 30 years, I’ve been analyzing and taking apart phony epidemics. There are two things you must do, among others. Demand proof that the touted cause is really the cause. And discover whether the number of ill people is being accurately reported.

So far, re microcephaly, there is no proof the touted cause is the cause. And the recent revision of evidence indicates there are far, far fewer cases of microcephaly in Brazil than initially trumpeted.

power outside the matrix

Here is a sixth thing that may happen now. Those Brazilian researchers who went back in and looked at their own evidence for a second time and found no proof of a microcephaly epidemic and no causal connection to the Zika virus? The World Health Organization and the CDC could move in and apply some heavy pressure and arming-twisting:

“Look, boys, you messed up big-time. We’ve got a raging epidemic here because we say so. And Zika is the cause because we say so. Now, you look again and come up with the answer we want. We’re the pros. We run the show. You’re nothing. If you want future careers, you’ll do the smart thing. Get it?”

And then at another level, the US State Department will exert pressure based on aid programs to Brazil. You want the money to keep flowing? —You want to reap the rewards you’re getting from Monsanto’s presence in Brazil? You want our continuing help with security for the Olympics? Get on the right side of this story. Get out in front of trouble. Play ball.

And then, if the Brazilians fold up and submit and obey, you’ll hear something like this from their now-apologetic researchers:

“Well, when we looked at those 3000-plus other possible cases of microcephaly for a second time, guess what? Wow. We found most of them are, in fact, microcephaly. And the Zika virus was present in all those cases. This is really is an epidemic, and it is caused by Zika. This is a global pandemic. We fully support the World Health Organization. We must have a Zika vaccine as soon as possible. Don’t get pregnant. Do what you’re told.”

Go along, or tell the truth. Go along, or tell the truth.

Zika: The CDC is the medical CIA

Zika: The CDC is the medical CIA

Its agents run global covert ops

The virus hunters

by Jon Rappoport

February 2, 2016

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)

While I was writing my first book in 1987, AIDS INC., I spoke with a media rep at the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC). After a bit of wrangling, he told me what I wanted to know: the CDC sends certain people to Langley for CIA training, and when they come back they have advanced security clearances.

This melded nicely with what I was learning about the CDC’s little-known Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS). Right off the top, I can tell you they create disinformation on a scale that must make the CIA jealous.

Graduates of this EIS program, as proudly stated by the CDC, have gone on to occupy key positions in the overall medical cartel: Surgeons General; CDC directors; medical school deans and professors; medical foundation executives; drug-company and insurance executives; state health officials; medical editors and reporters in media outlets.

It’s a loyal insider’s club. They collaborate to float prime-cut, A-number-one cover stories of extraordinary dimensions. They invent medical reality out of thin air.

Here is a brief excerpt from the CDC’s website, “50 Years of the Epidemic Intelligence Service”:

“In 1951, EIS was established by CDC following the start of the Korean War as an early-warning system against biologic warfare and man-made epidemics. EIS officers selected for 2-year field assignments were primarily medical doctors and other health professionals…who focused on infectious disease outbreaks. EIS has expanded to include a range of public health professionals, such as postdoctoral scientists in statistics, epidemiology, microbiology, anthropology, sociology, and behavioral sciences. Since 1951, approximately 2500 EIS officers have responded to requests for epidemiologic assistance within the United States and throughout the world. Each year, EIS officers are involved in several hundred investigations of disease and injury problems, enabling CDC and its public health partners to make recommendations to improve the public’s health and safety.” (italics added)

Several hundred investigations a year. An unparalleled opportunity to shape the truth into propaganda. Control of information about disease. Control out in the field, where EIS agents rush to the scene of “outbreaks,” all the way through the hallowed halls of academia, into the press, into Big Pharma, into the government.

When I say control of information, I mean disinformation. That’s what the EIS is for. They’ve never met a virus they didn’t love, and if they couldn’t find one, they pretended they did.

They front for the medical cartel. And they provide cover for the crimes of mega-corporations. There’s a town where poverty-stricken people are dying, because horrendous pesticides are running into the water supply and soil? No, it’s a virus. There’s a hotel where the plumbing is broken and human waste is getting into all the bathrooms, and they want this hotel to be the epicenter of a new epidemic? No, it isn’t the plumbing, it’s a novel virus never seen before by man. There’s a section of a city where the industrial pollution is driving people over the edge into immune-system failure? No, it’s a virus.

And here’s the capper. Their propaganda is so good most of the EIS people believe it themselves. You don’t achieve that kind of robotic servitude without intense brainwashing. The first installment of the mind-control program is called medical school.

The EIS would have you believe the whole world is being attacked by viruses, all the time. That’s their mission.

Here is the data you need to know. I’ll try to boil it down. To even begin to say a particular virus might be causing a disease, you have to remove diseased tissue from many humans with the same symptoms, put the tissue samples under an electron microscope and see a whole lot of that particular virus, not just one or two stragglers. This procedure is rarely done. The tests that are used widely, the antibody and PCR tests, are worthless for this purpose. I have provided details in other articles (see this “zika” one).

Finding what might be a particular virus in a few people doesn’t cut it. Which is exactly what happened in the 2003 SARS “epidemic,” for example. Ten closed labs did all the original research. They emerged with what they called a coronavirus as the cause of SARS. However, in Canada, as the weeks passed, fewer and fewer diagnosed SARS patients showed any sign of the virus. It was all a ruse, a con.

Researchers are trained to think that possibly finding a virus in a few patients allows a conclusion that the virus is causing the disease. This is utter nonsense.

In the case of Zika, as I wrote in a recent piece, Brazilian researchers have just gone off the reservation and decided to revisit their own original findings. So far, they’ve only been able to confirm six cases of microcephaly (small heads, brain impairment) where the Zika virus is present. Six. The whole thing is turning out to be ridiculous.

the matrix revealed

The Brazil op has several dimensions. I’ll point out one here. The Zika virus, as in other cases, will be strongly linked to global warming (yet another example of bereft “science”). This tune will be sung: mosquitoes that carry disease are expanding their territory because of warming, and therefore people who once considered themselves safe from these “exotic” viruses will fall ill and die. Bottom line: to limit warming, the planet must adopt cap and trade, carbon taxes (and lower energy production). This is the Globalist agenda. It is intended to drive countries deeper into misery, debt, and chaos—thus making it easier to install a wider and wider global management system.

And this line of psy-op and propaganda begins with the virus hunters of the EIS. They control and own the chokepoint of disease research. They blow up their scanty findings into ex-cathedra pronouncements.

And of course, this strengthens the vaccine establishment because, for every virus, there must be a vaccine: the shot in the arm, loaded with toxic chemicals and a variety of germs.

The EIS. The CDC’s band of brothers. The medical CIA.

Zika: Mega-power’s best friend: the virus

Zika: Mega-power’s best friend: the virus

by Jon Rappoport

February 1, 2016

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)

Modern medicine has transferred the notions of evil, Satan, and even ‘terrorist’ to The Virus.

Unlike my previous articles about the Zika-virus-hoax, this one takes a larger view of what intelligence agencies call a cover story.

A cover story is a tale that conceals an operation and its true purpose. It’s a diversion, a distraction, as in the old con artist’s shell game.

“Look over here. Don’t look there.”

A cover story is a scenario that convinces an audience it is seeing all there is to see:

A lone deranged assassin, Lee Oswald, murdered John Kennedy. Beginning and end of story. There is nothing else to investigate. There was no coordinated operation.

Regarding the Zika virus, I’ve now established there is no proof it is connected with cases of microcephaly (babies with smaller heads and brain impairment). In fact, the actual number of cases of microcephaly in Brazil, “the center of the crisis,” has been overblown.

But in Brazil, there is certainly a deep and enduring health crisis. Add up grinding poverty, severe malnutrition, the enormous deployment of toxic pesticides, a lack of basic sanitation in areas, vaccine damage, among other factors, and you have a formula for human devastation.

Two long-term operations in Brazil (as well as many other countries) need to protect their secrets. I’m talking about a) modern medicine, and b) corporate giants who manufacture and sell pesticides. The use of pesticides has vastly expanded with the introduction of GMO crops, which require drenching with specific compounds, the most famous of which is Monsanto’s Roundup.

Modern medicine operates on the fallacious principle that treating poverty-stricken, chronically ill populations is life-saving and, indeed, messianic. This is a lie. The lie must be covered up.

These populations need productive work and money to survive. They need nutritious food. They need basic sanitation. They need a clean environment. Otherwise, their immune systems are constantly on the edge of collapse.

They aren’t ill because of viruses. In their condition, any germ coming down the pipeline will cause life-threatening infections, because their immune systems can’t respond.

Medical treatment in the form of drugs and vaccines makes things worse. The drugs are toxic, and the vaccines push immune systems over the edge.

Exposure of these simple facts would send a missile into the heart of the medical cartel. That must not happen.

Therefore, The Virus is constantly invoked as the culprit. The Virus is highlighted, promoted, and elevated to the status of public enemy number one. It is the cover story. It is essentially blamed for the horrendous living conditions I mentioned above.

“Well, of course we want to help all these people. But remember, two years ago, the virus that decimated them? And now, the new virus that has entered the scene? We’re doing everything we can to develop a vaccine, and in the meantime we have several drugs that can help. We’re building clinics…”

Only a rank idiot or a venal propagandist would suggest such “cures.”

What’s going on here? Modern medicine is expanding its reach and its territory. And it is assisting those rulers and powers who want to keep populations in a wretched state.

For a fraction of the money that is being expended on “medical help,” you could go into a community, clean up the contaminated water supply, install basic sanitation, help create small farms, and watch people raises themselves up. That’s the start of a real cure.

In Brazil, as I’ve mentioned in previous articles, toxic pesticides are causing great harm. They’re poisons. The companies who manufacture and sell them, like Monsanto, have no intention of giving them up. These companies don’t care about human destruction or even the deleterious effects on huge cash crops. But the companies need a cover story, to explain the devastation they’re creating.

They, too, rely on The Virus. It’s their ace in the hole. Two years ago, it was Epidemic A. This year it’s Epidemic B. Highly publicized, heavily promoted.

“See all those sick and dying people? What a shame. Another virus has emerged. Bad luck. For some reason, these epidemics never start in Beverly Hills or Scarsdale. Oh well. Our corporation is happy to contribute to a fund for more medical care. You can count on us. We care.”

the matrix revealed

Whenever a new “outbreak” of disease occurs, people immediately begin looking for the single cause. Obvious cause, secret cause, it doesn’t matter. It always turns out to be a virus. They don’t bother looking at the conditions that have existed for a hundred years or more in the area of the “epidemic.” It’s as if these areas were previously brimming with prosperity, and suddenly people are laid low. How preposterous.

People in those areas have been falling ill and dying for a century. Now and then, things get even worse. It’s to be expected.

Giant agri-corporations and mining corporations and other corporations have been stealing good land from the local people for a long time. There’s a real virus for you. The corporations don’t want those people to turn to small farming. They want them to work on the plantations, and when they can’t work any longer because they’re too sick and too poisoned, other people will take their place.

That’s the operation.

The Virus is the cover.

It always was.

Zika freaka: the other shoe drops: lying about case numbers

by Jon Rappoport

January 31, 2016

(To join our email list, click here.)

Suppose the actual number of cases of microcephaly (babies born with small heads and brain impairment) are much fewer than reported?

Then all efforts to explain some “extraordinary, unusual, dire, and sudden situation” are misguided, are based on a lie.

Then we would have to backtrack and conceive of what is happening in Brazil in a whole different way.

I was waiting for this one. I’ve been investigating so-called epidemics since 1987. And over and over, I’ve seen health authorities lie about case numbers. Sometimes, they just make up incredible numbers out of thin air—as with Swine Flu, for example. In the fall of 2009, the US Centers for Disease Control estimated there were, get this, 22 million cases in the US.

And that was after Sharyl Attkisson, then a star investigative reporter for CBS News, found out the CDC had actually stopped counting Swine Flu cases. Why did they stop? Because the overwhelming number of blood samples from likely Swine Flu patients sent to labs came back negative for Swine Flu or any flu. So the CDC doubled down and decided to tell a real whopper. That’s an old propaganda trick. Tell a gigantic lie and people will salute it.

How about Zika? Microcephaly (babies with abnormally small heads and brain damage) is supposed to be the result of the Zika virus, which for 60 years has caused, at worst, mild illness.

Now we have a January 27 Associated Press story out of Rio, published in SFGate: “270 of 4,180 suspected microcephaly cases confirmed.”

That’s called a clue, in case you’re wondering. Of the previously touted 4,180 cases of microcephaly in Brazil, the actual number of confirmed cases is, well, only 270.

Bang.

Of course, this won’t stop the press from building up fear about the dreaded virus, and Brazilian soldiers will still be going door to door handing out toxic mosquito sprays, and drug companies will continue to race forward to develop a vaccine for Zika—because The Machine is in gear and moving. Damn the torpedoes and the facts.

Here are quotes from the January 27 AP story, with my comments:

“RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — New figures released Wednesday by Brazil’s Health Ministry as part of a probe into the Zika virus have found fewer cases of a rare birth defect than first feared.

“Researchers have been looking at 4,180 suspected cases of microcephaly reported since October. On Wednesday, officials said they had done a more intense analysis of more than 700 of those cases, confirming 270 cases and ruling out 462 others.”

My comment: Stop the music. What about the other 3448 suspected cases? No word. What does this mean? It means so far, there are only 270 confirmed cases of microcephaly. It definitely means that. Will the researchers in Brazil check into the other suspected 3448 cases, or are they so embarrassed they’d rather quit the whole investigation and pretend it never happened? Because, you see, the whole story started rolling because of the reported 4,180 cases. Without those high (false) numbers at the outset, there never would have been a story or a high degree of alarm and hysteria.

AP: “But what that means is hard to say, according to some experts. It does not answer whether the tropical Zika virus is causing the babies to have unusually small heads. Nor does it really tell us how big the problem is.”

My comment: Exactly. Zika as the cause of microcephaly is completely unconfirmed. That’s un-confirmed. They jumped the gun. And they don’t know how many cases of microcephaly there are.

AP: “But the World Health Organization and others have stressed that any link between Zika and the defect [microcephaly] remains circumstantial and is not yet proven scientifically. And the new figures were a reminder of just how little is known about the disease and its effects.”

My comment: Wonderful. Not yet proven scientifically. How little is known. But on that basis let’s call Zika an epidemic spreading across the world endangering all pregnant women or women who will get pregnant. This I call Depopulation by Press Conference: “Better to postpone pregnancy.” Governments and health agencies issue dire releases and then remain willfully blind. Business as usual.

AP: “Brazilian officials said the babies with the defect [microcephaly] and their mothers are being tested to see if they had been infected. Six of the 270 confirmed microcephaly cases were found to have the [Zika] virus.”
(Emphasis added)

My comment: Let me get this straight. Let me read that paragraph again. Brazilian officials have confirmed only 270 cases of microcephaly. That’s all. Got that. And of those 270, only six, just six were found to have the Zika virus?? Are you kidding me? Six? And governments all over the world are claiming that Zika causes microcephaly, causes abnormally small heads and brain damage? What?

In case this is not clear, let me spell it out. You can’t say a virus causes a condition if the virus isn’t there.

“Well, Mr. Smith, you have the flu. The flu is caused by a virus. That’s the one and only cause. You don’t have the virus, but you have the flu. Okay? Take two logic courses and call me in the morning if you figure out I’m lying through my teeth.”

I’ve learned this lesson over and over again. Before saying that a virus is causing a condition, find out how many actual cases of the condition are nailed down. Then, for those cases, find out if the virus in question is present at all. Because, if it isn’t present, there is nothing to talk about. As in: nothing.

There are people out there who are already taking off from Zika Zika Zika, and they’re saying the virus was made in a lab, or it was brought to Earth by aliens. I suggest they go back to the beginning and realize the whole bloody story so far is shot full of holes.

It is made out of holes.

My prediction: If necessary, if people start to wake up about the hoax, if scientists begin to grumble and complain about having to lie and do propaganda, the World Health Organization and the CDC will move into Brazil and tell those Brazilian scientists to check out the 3,448 remaining cases of who-knows-what and say that most of them are microcephaly caused by the Zika virus. That’ll be the pressure point. That’ll be the op.

Because The Machine is in gear and moving, and health authorities can’t retract what they’ve already said. They can’t say: “Oops we made a mistake. We built a mountain where there is no mountain. Forget it. Zika is not a problem. And there are far, far fewer cases of microcephaly than we originally thought.”

They can’t do that and become the boy who cried wolf.

power outside the matrix

(To read about Jon’s collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

And if you think the Brazilian scientists who just blew the whistle on this whole operation by reporting their adjusted findings are now lying, because they’ve been pressured to cover up a wild out-of-control epidemic and protect certain culprits, that’s not how the game works. In that case, the Brazilian authorities would never have been allowed to announce widespread microcephaly and Zika in the first place.

Zika is a hoax. The World Health Organization and the CDC and government leaders are scrambling to get their stories straight. They’ll keep pushing the hoax, and vaccine makers will work toward a vaccine.

Based on nothing real.

Much of the time, that’s how all presumptive authority deals from the deck: they announce, they pronounce, they command, based on nothing real.

Busted: 25,000 cases of microcephaly in the US per year

Zika not the cause

by Jon Rappoport

January 31, 2016

(To join our email list, click here.)

Microcephaly: babies born with smaller heads and brain impairment. Heard of it? Of course you have. Towering experts are saying it’s caused by the Zika virus in Brazil.

They don’t know how. They don’t know why. But they’re saying it over and over like trained parrots.

They’re saying that, somehow, this virus, which for at least 60 years was causing only mild illness, is now at the heart of all these new cases of microcephaly.

Really? Then why are there 25,000 cases of microcephaly in the US every year?

For science bloggers who live in mommy’s basement and love the statements of the experts, try this. I’ll give you the full citation. Ready?

“Practice Parameter: Evaluation of the child with microcephaly (an evidence-based review)”; Neurology 2009 Sep 15; 73(11) 887-897; Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology and the Practice Committee of the Child Neurology Society.

Here’s the money quote:

“Microcephaly may result from any insult that disturbs early brain growth…Annually, approximately 25,000 infants in the United States will be diagnosed with microcephaly…”

Bang.

Let me take apart that quote. Microcephaly can result from any early insult to the brain. Any.

That could mean a highly toxic pesticide, for example. It could mean severe and prolonged malnutrition of the mother. It could mean a toxic substance injected into the mother—a street drug or a vaccine. It could mean a physical blow. It could mean a mother’s chronic high fever. And so on.

Moving on: 25,000 cases, not just once, but every year in the US, means what? Christopher Columbus actually brought the Zika virus to America in 1492, and it lay dormant for a very long time and then, in the modern age, exploded on the scene in the US?

No. 25,000 cases a year in the US means we’re being treated to an unsupported major bullshit story right now.

That’s what it means.

In a previous article on Zika, I laid out my top six causes for microcephaly in Brazil. None of them was the virus. I cited a study that revealed a link between the pesticide atrazine and microcephaly. Then there is Roundup. In another previous piece, I cited a study linking that herbicide to microcephaly. Etc., etc.

If you carefully read stories in the mainstream press these days, you’ll notice that even there the Zika hypothesis is shaky, to say the least. Here’s a sprinkle:

Start with a paragraph buried in a Reuters story headlined, “Race for Zika vaccine gathers momentum as virus spreads”:

“Zika had been viewed as a relatively mild illness until Brazilian health officials identified it as a matter of concern for pregnant women. While a direct causal relationship has not been established, scientists strongly suspect a link between Zika and thousands of children born in Brazil with abnormally small heads, brain defects and impaired vision.”

No causal relationship established. Scientists strongly suspect. Well, that does it. That seals the deal. I strongly suspect ants eating brown pears will enable them to pilot spaceships to the rim of the Milky Way.

Here is a piece from Quartz (qz.com) titled, “That ‘baby-brain-shrinking virus’ has made it to the US”:

“The real worry, as Brazil’s health ministry has been warning its citizens, is the suspicion—as yet unproven—that women who catch Zika may give birth to children with microcephaly, a neurological disorder that gives them abnormally small brains.”

Suspicion. As yet unproven.

The article continues:

“A 2007 [Zika] outbreak on Yap Islands in Micronesia is estimated to have affected nearly 75% of the population of some 12,000 people, and a 2013 outbreak in French Polynesia affected nearly 28,000 of 270,000 residents. Neither epidemic caused a spike in microcephaly [small baby heads, brain damage].”

Who cares? Just assert Zika is the cause of microcephaly. Just say it is. That’s enough, isn’t it? Oranges cause cancer. Gluten-free bread causes polio.

The BBC, January 28, “Zika virus: Up to four million Zika cases predicted”:

“…there has been a steep rise in levels of microcephaly – babies born with abnormally small heads – and the rare nervous system disorder Guillain-Barre syndrome. The link between the virus and these disorders has not been confirmed, but Dr. Chan [Director General of the World Health Organization] said it was ‘strongly suspected’ and was ‘deeply alarming’.”

I may strongly suspect something and then be deeply alarmed by it, but I’m not going to call it science. Dr. Chan follows a different path. Well, she’s a General. That confers certain privileges, doesn’t it? Troops, maps, GPS satellites, UN dollars.

power outside the matrix

If she really wants to do something valuable, here’s my suggestion. I know she won’t, but… send down a hundred truly independent scientists and techs, and have them test all those Brazilian mothers who’ve given birth to babies with small heads and brain damage. And test the babies, too. Forget the useless antibody and PCR procedures. Take blood and tissue samples and put them under an electron microscope. See if you notice lots and lots of Zika viruses—that is, if you even know what Zika looks like. If you don’t find lots of Zika—and I’m betting you won’t—pack it up, come home, and start thinking about why the virus is being used as a cover story for what is really causing microcephaly. Then you might actually get somewhere.

But getting somewhere isn’t the job of the World Health Organization. Lying is.
