British XMRV study full of holes

One of the co-authors of this study, Simon Wessely, has a vested interest in the outcome of such virus studies. Simon has staked his entire academic career on the idea that neurological diseases like chronic fatigue syndrome are caused by purely psychological factors.

Therefore Simon Wessely would be the last person you would want in a study like this: if he finds the virus in CFS patients, he shoots himself in the foot, and his career may never recover. So I wonder just how hard he looked for this XMRV virus.

The odd thing is, the authors declared in this study that they have no competing interests: not true! It is very much in the interest of Simon Wessely to not find this XMRV virus. Another interesting fact is that these 3 “scientists” that conducted the study in UK where in the Psychiatric field. We know that UK goes by the Oxford Criteria while US and most other countries goes by the Canadian Criterias which states that CFS/ ME is neurological/ viral in nature, while UK says it’s a psychiatric disorder (for heavens sake!).

In a just-published study, British researchers say they didn't find XMRV in people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS or ME/CFS), which appears to contradict a study recently published in the journal Science,in which researchers found the retrovirus in the majority of people with ME/CFS. But what does this new study really prove?

It's fairly common for an infectious agent to be present at different rates in different places, so this could mean that XMRV is more rare in the UK. This is supported by prostate cancer studies -- a US study indicated a link to particularly aggressive tumors, while European studies did not.

Different procedures may also account for the difference. According to Dr. Suzanne Vernon of the CFIDS Association of America, the techniques used by the British team may simply not have been as good at detecting XMRV. (You can read her analysis here: XMRV Negative Results Emphasize Need for Robust Replication Study)

The Whittemore Peterson Institute, which conducted the original XMRV research, put out a press release outlining some key problems with the new findings:

The scientific methods used by WPI are very exact and require specific techniques to ensure
accuracy. Differences in techniques employed by Erlwein et al. not only explain their failure to
replicate the WPI study, but also render the conclusions meaningless. These differences
include, but are not limited to the following:

  1. blood sample volumes and processing;
  2. patient criteria/population differences;
  3. number and type of tests done to assure accurate results, including white blood cell
    culture;
  4. use of a molecular plasmid control in water versus a positive blood sample; and
  5. different primer sequences and amplification protocol used to find the virus, which
    were not validated by a clinical control.

The WPI study was published after six months of rigorous review and three independent lab
confirmations, proving that contamination had not taken place and that infectious XMRV was
present in 67 percent (actually 98%, they expanded the testing with astounding results) of CFS patients diagnosed according to the Canadian and Fukuda criteria.
In contrast, this latest study was published online after only three days of review. Significant
and critical questions remain as to the status of patient samples used in the UK study as those
samples may have been confused with fatigued psychiatric patients, since the UK has relegated
"CFS" patients to psychiatric care and not traditional medical practices.

(You can see the WPI's entire statement here: Official Statement from the Whittemore Peterson Institute Regarding UK Study)

So, essentially, this study doesn't tell us a lot. Hopefully, current and upcoming studies will use methods more like those used in the original and will also test healthy people. Only then will we start to get an accurate picture of XMRV's prevalence, what threats it may pose, and what role (if any) it plays in ME/CFS.

Michael Dessin's CFSAC Testimony- about CFS/ ME

Hi my name is Mike Dessin, I’ve had Myalgic Encephalomyelits for 14 years, a disease that is unjustly named Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the U.S. I had one of the most severe cases of ME/CFS ever recorded, with subsequent remission.
At the worst stage of my illness, which was about a year ago, I suffered beyond what most humans can comprehend.


I was completely bedridden and unable to lean up more than a few inches. I was unable to read, write, understand words when spoken too, or complete a thought process. Even a bit of thinking would hyper stimulate my nervous system too much. I had severe dementia. I couldn’t see the walls around me. Neurological dysfunction too obscure to put into words. In the last month before my recovery I was unconscious an estimated 90% of the time, not sleeping but literally unconscious. I was basically comatose.
I’m nearly 6’3, and last December I weighed 102 pounds. I had heart failure, severe pancreatitis and my lungs collapsed. My body was producing just enough energy to sustain a heartbeat.


To make things even worse, I was confined to a pitch black room isolated from the world. Unable to tolerate the slightest bit of light or noise much of the time. I had sensory overload so bad, I couldn’t be touched, as it was too stimulating. The consequences of being over stimulated resulted in further exhaustion and seizures.
In addition, I had EXTREME chemical and Electromagnetic Frequency sensitivities. Needless to say, I had to be in a very special environment to stay alive. It is painstakingly difficult to care for someone in the condition I was in.


I was as sick as an end stage AIDS and MS patient put TOGETHER. Immune deficiency similar to what an AIDS patient presents and more nervous system abnormalities than most MS patients. But I don’t have MS or AIDS. I have a disease called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which merely describes a symptom these diseases share.
I was left for dead; I was left withering away in my dark room. I was left to die due to the extreme lack of knowledge, compassion or regard by our medical community.
I had spent 10 years searching for help from doctors. I would hear, oh it’s JUST allergies, it’s JUST chronic Epstein Barr, it’s JUST depression, oh it’s JUST chronic fatigue syndrome and there is nothing we can do.


In the fall of 06’ I fell down in a hotel lobby in New York, I was suffering from CFS related exhaustion. My dad called 911 and the ambulance came to pick me up. On the way to the hospital, I told the tech “I had severe exhaustion and I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,” some know the disease as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. The tech said there was no such thing as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.


When I arrived at the hospital they said my vitals were normal and they put me in the psychiatric unit. I spent 24 hours there, where I was strip searched, repeatedly questioned about my personal life and given a cocktail of psychiatric drugs. Shortly after, I went into my last relapse that would nearly end my life.
Now who’s to blame for all of this? Clearly this disease and its millions of sufferers have been shortchanged in an EPIC way over the last 20 years by the government, medical community and the public at large. There has been a false stigma attached to the disease created by lack of research and inaccurate information disseminated by the CDC.


One major cause in this disease not getting the proper recognition stems from the naming and definition. The CDC wrongly changed the name of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis to CFS, in an attempt to undermine the serious nature of this disease, in favor of politics and economics.
In saying that, I am just one of thousands upon thousands of ME/CFS patients who are currently suffering near the extent I was. The only difference, they most likely won’t live to share their experience, unless things change. Many ME/CFS patients succumb to cancer, heart failure, pancreatitis and other co-morbid conditions that come along with having this disease. Many will die from suicide, committing suicide at a rate, double that of MS patients.
They are not committing suicide because of depression or stress. They are committing suicide for multiple reasons which include.


Suicide from decrease in quality of life, created by this disease. Their committing suicide because, the medical community, family and friends, don’t understand what is happening to them, and there is little hope for a cure.
They are committing suicide because they can’t bare the extreme physical and neurological dysfunction. They are committing suicide because many of them are inundated with toxic poisoning. They are committing suicide because they have dozens upon dozens of infections that human beings are not supposed to get. Their committing suicide because they have no safe place to go, no special facilities that have staff trained to care for ME/CFS patients. No special facilities that are free of chemicals or sensory stimulus. These patients have NO WHERE TO TURN.


So while these patients are being suffocated by toxins and destroyed by viruses, suffering greatly, the CDC’s answer, let’s spend money to research the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy and graded exercise therapy.
I’m alive and speaking to you today because I got proper treatment. A treatment that focuses on the true biomedical basis of this disease rather than the MYTHS created surrounding this disease.


Myths, such as treating this disease with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychological intervention should be primary treatments and coping mechanisms. As well as using Graded Exercise Therapy for increased exercise threshold. These therapies do not even come close to a real cure and can be extremely dangerous UNLESS they are integrated into a therapy that addresses underlying issues.
I realize that this is the easy way out for Reeves and his side kick Simon Wessley in the U.K.. If we think this is an effective treatment, why do I speak with thousands of ME/CFS patients who feel differently? Why is there no person in this room with true CFS …..who has been helped by these therapies?


Why have ME/CFS patients died from extreme relapses brought on by these therapies? They die, because if done at times where they have difficulty processing information, cognitive input can put them into extreme relapse. Yes, it actually progresses the disease. They die because they think graded exercise is beneficial. In reality, exercise in many cases can lead to further damages to their body and a downward progression of the disease. Yes, pacing is a good thing, and that is what ME/CFS patients should do….on their own terms.
Blaming stress and depression instead of looking for a legit biomedical explanation of this disease seems to be another easy way out for the CDC. It’s highly unlikely ENTIRE outbreaks have been caused by stress and depression. Entire towns just suddenly get ME/CFS because there stressed and depressed. Truth is, due to abnormalities in the nervous system brought on by this disease, stress or depression can cause disease progression, just as with most other diseases.


You’ve been listening to patient testimony for years, If you really thought this is a serious issue, why do most doctors still have no idea what CFS is, and many have never heard of ME.
Why have government funds for the study of this disease dwindled over recent years?
Why is this disease not taken serious by our researchers?
Why do our peers not take this disease seriously?
Why hasn’t the name chronic fatigue syndrome been changed, to accurately reflect the nature of this disease?


Why does the U.S have the most watered down definition of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Why are there no facilities equipped to take care of severely ill ME/CFS patients?
Why are patients not covered by insurance when they seek the help of alternative minded doctors, when these doctors are the ones saving the lives of ME/CFS patients?
These issues still remain, because they solely reflect what you are NOT doing for our community.


I nearly lost my life, and many others are suffering and will die prematurely, if we all don’t step up, and do the right thing.
It’s time for a New Day to begin.”

Here is the video of Mike's testimony, where he was only able to partially complete this written statement because of time limitations:

M.E or CFS ? : Clearing up the Confusion

Name-us.org

"The belief that [ME] CFS is a psychological illness
is the error of our time."

-Dr. Byron Hyde-

"...now there’s proof that inflammation occurs in the brain and there’s evidence that patients with this illness experience a level of disability that’s equal to  that of patients with late-stage AIDS, patients undergoing chemotherapy, or  patients with multiple sclerosis."

-Dr. Nancy Klimas-

"Where the one essential characteristic of M.E. is acquired CNS[central nervous system] dysfunction,
that of CFS is primarily chronic fatigue."

Dr. Byron Hyde of the Nightingale Research Foundation makes the above  very simple yet profound statement in his essay, The Complexities of Diagnosis (Chapter 3 inHandbook of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).  While just about all patients with M.E. will fit the definition for CFS, not all of those with CFS will fit the definition for M.E.  (But technically, the CDC CFS definition excludes those patients with other serious illnesses that include fatigue as a symptom.  Therefore a patient formally diagnosed with M.E., a serious neurological illness of CNS dysfunction - debilitating fatigue being merely one of MANY disabling symptoms - would be ruled out of the CFS definition.  See Dr. Hyde's comment in sidebar.) If a patient does not fit the definition for M.E. and is given a diagnosis of CFS without further investigation into the cause of the symptoms, it would be tragic if a treatable illness was missed.  And this has happened on numerous occasions (see below for examples).  For a more complete understanding, see the Definitions pages, where the various definitions list diagnostic  requirements.

ME and CFS are described by some as a "medically unexplained" illness with no biomarkers.  Do not accept this; it is far from the truth.  The research cited on our Research pages and other websites, as well as specialized and more in-depth testing as suggested in the Consensus Document (listed on the Test Abnormalities page of this website) and in the Nightingale Definition explain many of the symptoms ME and CFS-labeled patients suffer - tests that, when interpreted together, can give the patient and doctor a more complete picture of what's going on in patients' bodies.  It may also help differentiate whether the patient has M.E., or chronic fatigue arising from some other serious illness that may be treatable.

Descriptions are as individual as the patient

There are as many descriptions of this disease as there are patients, because symptom prominence varies from patient to patient.  But they all will have a common theme: crushing exhaustion that never goes away, no matter how much you rest; that the simplest things most people take for granted physically and mentally now seem like insurmountable tasks.  For example, taking out the trash has become like a march up a mountain, or deciding what you need at the grocery store makes your brain swirl like a page-long physics equation.  And once you have tackled one or two of those chores, you feel an overwhelming compulsion to lie down and rest, even though you know it will do little good.  And usually there is widespread muscle pain that seems to radiate right out of the spine and into the muscles throughout some or all parts of the body.  A severe hangover that never goes away, that varies in intensity day-to-day, even hour-to-hour, is how ME and CFS are often described, or "the flu that never goes away," year after year.  Add to that many of the symptoms on the Symptoms List of this website - some coming and going or waxing and waning, others ever-present, always aggravated by tasks you used to give barely a passing thought to - and you have a person in a state of debility that has been compared by researchers and clinicians to MS, cancer and AIDS.

Many scientists would describe ME or CFS in less personal, more technical terms. Words like "post-exertional malaise" and "neurocognitive impairment" sound fairly important, but simply do not convey what the patient is really experiencing.  But the clinicians and researchers who have collectively worked with thousands of ME and CFS-labeled patients know that, "There is no word in the the English lexicon that describes the lack of stamina, the paucity of energy, the absolute malaise and turpitude that accompanies this illness." (-Dr. Charles Lapp-)

Then what's the difference between M.E. and CFS?

M.E. experts from the U.K., U.S., Canada, Australia and many other countries who have studied this disease have stated that it's the definitions that determine the diagnosis.  The current Consensus Document and most M.E. definitions (Ramsay,Dowsett and historic) require the major criteria of severe muscle fatigue following minimal exertion with prolonged recovery time, and neurological disturbances, especially autonomic, cognitive and sensory functions, and variable involvement ofcardiac and other systems, with a prolonged relapsing course.  This is a very specific list of criteria, and a major point to note is that the CNS (central nervous system) dysfunction of M.E. can be measured.  (See below.)

Alternately, CFS definitions present the major criterion of fatigue that lasts 6 months and reduces the level of function by at least 50%.  Post-exertional malaise and neurological abnormalities are considered minor and optional criteria.  So this broad definition could encompass any of many illnesses in which fatigue plays a role.  Fatigue is not only a symptom of numerous illnesses, but it is something experienced by normal, healthy people.  And there are no reliable objective ways to measure fatigue.

Causes of Death among Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Dr. Leonard Jason's Research Team

Causes of Death among Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Leonard A. Jason, Karina Corradi, Sara Gress, Sarah Williams and Susan Torres-Harding DePaul University (2006). "The three most prevalent causes of death were heart failure, suicide, and cancer, which accounted for 59.6% of all deaths. The mean age of those who died from cancer and suicide was 47.8 and 39.3 years, respectively [and heart failure, 58.7], which is considerably younger than those who died from cancer and suicide in the general population.  For each of these areas, there is supportive evidence that might help explain why heart failure, cancer, and suicide might be associated with deaths among people with CFS in this sample.  The implications of these findings are discussed."

http://www.investinme.org
======================================== ===
The published 2006 study by 'Leonard et al' found the following points regarding the average age of death of deceased ME/CFS patients Vs Avg population:
Average age of Cancer deaths:
-----------------------------
ME/CFS - 47.8 Years * Avg population - 72.0 Years
Average age of Heart Failure deaths:
------------------------------------
ME/CFS - 58.7 Years * Avg population - 83.1 Years
Average age of Suicide deaths:
------------------------------
ME/CFS - 39.5 Years * Avg population - 48.0 Years
======================================== ===
[*These 3 causes of death above accounted for 60% of all ME/CFS deaths in the study*]
Think about that for a second. .
The official UK Government and Medical profession line (in general) is.. 'most' people fully recover, and better still, nobody dies.
Yet the reality is full recovery runs around 2-5% and people DO die. If full recovery is 2-5% then 95-98% of people with ME/CFS never - fully recover to previous levels of health.


Now you're free to disagree, as you aren't a Doctor in charge of my health, you're allowed an un-informed opinion as you're not responsible for my treatement and survival.
But... surely people who DO deny FACT, who ARE in a position of medical trust (to the extent due to their ignorance people suffer or die) - well surely, they are deranged mentally or incompetant and unfit to practice as medical experts?
Yet the public don't know about this, no matter who you tell - your parents, your friends, your doctor, your pet dog - this evidence is not allowed to be known to the masses as it's too costly FINANCIALLY to accept the Government has injured 0.3 million people alone in the UK. So we are left to die young - as you can see...
Left to die fools.


ME/CFS patients are paying with their LIVES. Whilst Psychiatrists and pen pushers (Government civil servants) 'argue' if ME/CFS is real or not. Why?
They have been arguing since 1969 - that's 39 years ago when the W.H.O (World Health Organisation) declared ME a neurological illness.
I present to you dear Youtubers - that ME/CFS is not only REAL, it can be DEADLY to those severely affected.
Not only is this mind-blowing for an illness that is denied, but patients are dying 25 years earlier than others with the same diseases!

Thimerosal: A vaccine ingredient’s toxic legacy

 

Written by Roman Bystrianyk   
Wednesday, 30 December 2009

http://www.healthsentinel.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2663:thimerosal-a-vaccine-ingredients-toxic-legacy&catid=5:original&Itemid=24
April, 1948 an article is published in the journal Pediatrics:

"Inspection of the records of the Children's Hospital for the past ten years has disclosed 15 instances in which children developed acute cerebral symptoms within a period of hours after the administration of pertussis vaccine. The children varied between 5 and 18 months in age and, in so far as it is possible to judge children of this age range, were developing normally according to histories supplied by their parents. None had convulsions previously."

"Twelve of the children were boys and three were girls, a sex difference also encountered in relation to other substances, such as lead, causing gross injury to the developing nervous system. At inoculation time, the children varied in age between 5 and 18 months. Developmental data were obtained in detail on all but two of the children, whose mothers simply stated that they had developed normally. Reference to the case histories showed that such objective activities such as sitting, walking, and talking had appeared in many of the children prior to the inoculations; and the regressions or failure of further development occurred after the encephalopathies [Any disease or symptoms of disease referable to disorders of the brain] in several instances. In so far as it was possible to judge none of the children were defective prior to their acute illness."

"In common with many other biologic materials used parenterally [not by mouth], an important risk of encephalopathy attends the use of prophylactic pertussis vaccine. The mechanism whereby the encephalopathy is produced is not elucidated by the present study. The universal use of such vaccine is warranted only if it can be shown to be effective in preventing encephalopathy or death from pertussis itself in large groups of children. If avoidance of the inconvenience of the average attack of pertussis is all that is expected, the risk seems considerable. Efforts to diminish the hazard by modification of the vaccine or new methods of administration seem indicated."

Fast forward 60 years to the present; parents state their children were developing normally until the time of a vaccine; boys are 3 to 4 times more likely to have autism than girls; often times sitting, walking, talking are all normal in a child until 12-30 months followed by a major regression. The parallels to the present day epidemic in childhood neurologic disorders to this 1948 article are striking and concerning. What is equally disturbing is the observation of the authors that the neurologic problem occurred near the administration of the pertussis vaccine and that the "sex difference" in the "gross injury to the developing nervous system" was similar to the heavy metal lead.

Coal-burning power plants, use of mercury in gold mining, industrial manufacturing, incineration of municipal and medical waste, are some of the sources of heavy metals found in our modern environment. These pollutants contaminate our environment and enter our food supply and eventually our bodies. In some cases heavy metals were added to products, such as in mercury amalgam fillings, and one substance in particular, Thimerosal, has been believed by many to be a major cause of neurologic problems that we encounter today.

Thimerosal is a mercury-containing organic compound or organomercurial. In the 1930s, Eli Lily developed Thimerosal as a preservative and it has been used in a number of biological and drug products, including many vaccines. Until the removal of Thimerosal, which contains 49.9% ethyl mercury by weight, from most pediatric vaccines in 2001, the source of the largest human exposure to mercury in the US was in children under 18 months of age undergoing routine childhood immunization schedules. Before 2001, a child may have received a cumulative dose of over 200 μg/kg [micrograms per kilogram] in the first 18 months of life.

Although Thimerosal has been removed from most childhood vaccines, it is still present in the flu vaccine, which is given to pregnant women, the elderly, and children. Also, many vaccines given to children in developing countries still contain Thimerosal.

Many still believe that Thimerosal is safe and effective and that there is little to no evidence that there is any health problems associated with this substance. According to the FDA website:

"Thimerosal has been the subject of several studies and has a long record of safe and effective use preventing bacterial and fungal contamination of vaccines, with no ill effects established other than minor local reactions at the site of injection."

The article references eight studies supporting their position. But is there evidence that shows Thimerosal isn't safe?

A Material Safety Data Sheet or MSDS is a document that provides the proper procedures for handling or working with a particular substance. The information includes physical data (such as melting point, boiling point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, disposal, protective equipment, and spill/leak procedures.
The hazard rating information that appears on the MSDS is summarized on a diamond-shaped diagram that can rapidly alert personnel to substances that require special caution. Hazards are rated from 0 indicating no unusual hazard to 4 a severe hazard. The blue area of the diamond relates to health and a rating of 2 in the case of Thimerosal indicates "Intense or continued exposure could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury unless prompt medical attention is given."
Here are some disturbing excerpts from the MSDS for thimerosal (trade name Merthiolate):

"Section 3: Hazards Identification - Potential Chronic Health Effects: The substance may be toxic to kidneys, liver, spleen, bone marrow, central nervous system (CNS). Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many human organs."

"Section 6: Accidental Release Measures - Poisonous solid. Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray to reduce vapors. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed."

"Section 11: Toxicological Information - Chronic Effects on Humans: MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for mammalian somatic cells. May cause damage to the following organs: kidneys, liver, spleen, bone marrow, central nervous system (CNS). Special Remarks on Chronic Effects on Humans: May cause cancer based on animal data. No human data found."

"Inhalation and Ingestion: Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause kidney damage, and may affect the liver, and bone marrow. Chronic exposure to mercury vapors behavior/central nervous system and peripheral nervous system (depression, irritability, nervousness, weakness, ataxia, fatigue, tremor, jerky gait, limb spasms, personality changes), metabolism (anorexia, weight loss) and cause gastrointestinal disturbances which is collectively referred to as "aesthenic-vegetative syndrome." Chronic ingestion may cause accumulation of mercury in body tissues and may result in salicylism which is characterized by nausea, vomiting, gastric ulcers, and hemorrhagic strokes."

In addition Elli Lilly's 1999 MSDS contains more disturbing information:

"Section 3: Hazards Identification - ... Exposure to mercury in utero and in children may cause mild to severe mental retardation and mild to severe motor coordination impairment."

"Section 6: Accidental Release Measures - Wear protective equipment, including eye protection, to avoid exposure. This material is a mercury compound which are CERCL Hazardous Substances and SARA 313 Toxic Chemicals."

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), commonly known as Superfund, was enacted by Congress on December 11, 1980. This law created a tax on the chemical and petroleum industries and provided broad Federal authority to respond directly to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances that may endanger public health or the environment. SARA 313 requires the EPA and State Regulatory Agencies to annually collect data on releases and transfers of certain toxic chemicals from industrial facilities, and make the data available to the public through a public database called the Toxics Release Inventory, or TRI.

These data safety sheets alone are certainly a cause for concern. One has to question why would anyone use such a dangerous substance in any medical product let alone one that is injected directly into the blood stream? But in addition to the MSDS there are numerous studies from the medical and scientific literature that clearly show thimerosal is not a safe substance. The following are a few excerpts from a number of scientific journals:

1977 - Archives of Disease in Childhood

"Although thiomersal [thimerosal] is an ethyl mercury compound, it has similar toxicological properties to methyl mercury and in long-term neurological sequelae [a pathological condition resulting from a disease, injury, or other trauma] produced by the ingestion of either methyl or ethyl mercury-based fungicides and indistinguishable ... Since it is clear that treatment of exomphalos [an umbilical hernia at birth in which some abdominal organs push into the umbilical cord] by the application of alcoholic mercurial antiseptics can produce blood and tissue levels of mercury well above the threshold at which damage occurs in all other age groups, it is extremely unlikely that these infants escape neurological damage, which may be subtle. We therefore suggest that treated survivors should be examined neurologically and psychologically as a matter of urgency. Organic mercurial antiseptics should be heavily restricted or withdrawn from hospital use, as the fact that mercury readily permeates intact membranes and is highly toxic seems to have been forgotten. Equally effective and far less toxic broad-spectrum antifungal and antibacterial topical antiseptics are currently available."

2003 - Toxicological Sciences

"In clinical cases of accidental or intentional usage in high concentrations, thimerosal was administered in doses from 3 mg/kg to several hundred mg/kg. Such doses resulted in local necrosis [The death of living cells or tissues] at the application site and severe central nervous system and kidney injury ... In this paper we demonstrated that extending the time of incubation with thimerosal from 2 to 6 hours is associated with toxicity that was not seen after a shorter time of exposure. For this reason, further studies of lower concentrations and longer exposure times appear to be warranted. These results indicate that additional research is needed to fully delineate the dose- and time-dependent toxicity of thimerosal in sub-micro-molar concentrations and suggests that toxicity may occur at even lower doses than those utilized in these experiments, with longer times of exposure. Because mercury can be retained in body organs for months to years, the study of longer incubation times is warranted."

2003 - Archives of toxicology

"In conclusion, thimerosal induced strong effects in the cytochalasin B in vitro [outside the living organism] micronucleus test in human lymphocytes ... Since thimerosal was repeatedly shown to be genotoxic [damaging to DNA] in vitro and in vivo [inside the living organism], there is reason for concern about its widespread use."

2004 - Toxicology

"Both thimerosal and methylmercury increased the [Ca2+]i and oxidative stress in cerebellar granule cells. In rat cerebellar granule neurons, the increase in [Ca2+]i induces an increase in oxidative stress while the oxidative stress increases the [Ca2+]i. It is a possibility that uncontrolled and sustained elevation of [Ca2+]I increases the formation of reactive oxygen species that induce a further increase in [Ca2+]i. If so, such insults induced by thimerosal and methylmercury would lead to cell injury or death in brain neurons ... In can be concluded that the potency of thimerosal to induce cytotoxic [substances that are toxic to cells] action on brain neurons dissociated from 2-week-old rats under the in vitro conditions is similar to that of methylmercury."

2005 - NeuroToxicology

"In both cell lines, a progressive increase in cytotoxicity [decrease in viability] was observed when Thimerosal dose was progressively doubled from 2.5 μmol/L [micromoles per liter] to 5, 10, and 20 μmol/L. Viability was reduced more than 50% in both cell lines with exposure to 10 μmol/L Thimerosal and less than 10% of cells survived a dose of 20 μmol/L. Thimerosal induces oxidative stress and apoptosis [programmed cell death] by activating mitochondrial cell death pathways. A subsequent study using cultured human neuron and fibroblast cell lines similarly showed that low micromolar concentrations of Thimerosal induced DNA strand breaks, caspase-3 activation, membrane damage and cell death."

2007 - Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health

"The high order of toxicity from Thimerosal and its ethylmercury breakdown product has been known and published for decades. Nonetheless, Thimerosal remains in the drug supply, especially in various vaccines manufactured both for the United States and globally. The ubiquitous and largely unchecked place of Thimerosal in pharmaceutical products, therefore, represents a medical crisis in the modern day. Reforms in the manufacture and the licensing of vaccines and other drugs, which should have been accomplished proactively, had anyone properly assessed their mercury content, must now be conducted, reactively, under significant systemic stress. With no warning, recall, or ban of mercury in vaccines and other drugs as of yet, the victim of this mandated, unwarranted, and massive mercury exposure is still an unsuspecting public, and most especially its unborn and newborn children."

2007 - Anales de la Facultad de Medicina

"Due to the vast gaps in knowledge of thimerosal's pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, as its toxic properties over the immune system, it is required to make more studies of quantitative character in animal models as soon as possible. Nevertheless, while it is true, it is difficult to extrapolate these findings to other animal experimentation groups and over human beings, our results, as the multiple scientific evidence recently published about thimerosal, clearly indicates the toxic nature of this substance, at the same dose and the same chronology as human immunizations; therefore we suggest the employment of alternative preservatives in vaccines, especially those intended to pregnant women, neonates, and small children based in the prevention and precaution principles of all medical interventions."

2008 - Neuroendocrinology Letters

"Thimerosal has been recognized by the California Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment as a developmental toxin. This implies that Thimerosal may produce birth defects, low birth weight, biological dysfunctions, or psychological or behavior deficits that become manifest as the child grows. Maternal exposure during pregnancy may disrupt the development or even cause the death of the fetus. ... It is clear from these data that additional ND research should be undertaken in the context of evaluating mercury-associated exposures, especially from Thimerosal containing Rho(D)-immune globulins administered during pregnancy. Further studies should also be undertaken in additional databases/registries to assess the compatibility of the present results with trends in NDs in other US populations, and to observe whether Thimerosal-containing Rho(D)-immune globulins were associated with other birth defects in children. ... CONCLUSION: This study associates TCR [Thimerosal (49.55% mercury by weight) - containing Rho(D) immune globulins] exposure with some NDs [neurodevelopmental disorders] in children."

2008 - International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine

"Biological findings in autism that are consistent with mercury poisoning include elevated oxidative stress, depleted levels of glutathione, neurochemical irregularities, gastro-intestinal distress, immune dysregulation and generalized and neural inflammation. All of these are also well documented effects of
mercury poisoning and, specifically, mercury poisoning in infants ... Autism is a modern disease. It was first identified in the late 1930s and reported in 1943 by Kanner. It is important to place the arrival and subsequent epidemic growth of autism into the historical context of environmental exposure to mercury. Therefore, it is important to acknowledge that the commencement of widely available vaccinations (containing mercury) commenced in the 1930s. Additionally, the early 1900s saw the increasing availability and popularity of dental care where mercury amalgam fillings were the dominant restorative material ... The existing scientific literature provides grounds for strong suspicion that mercury plays a causal role in the development of autism. Given this suspicion, and the severe nature, devastating lifelong impact and extremely high prevalence of autism, it would be negligent to continue to expose pregnant and nursing mothers and infant children to any amount of avoidable mercury. Health authorities worldwide should move without hesitation to ban and remove all mercury in all medical products at the earliest possible date."

2009 - Behavioral and Brain Functions

"A disruption of the GSH (glutathione) system by mercury leads to GSH depletion and cell destruction. An in vitro study of Jurkat T cells exposed to thimerosal demonstrated concentration-dependent apoptosis. It was found that the mercury moiety [part of the molecule], not the thiosalicylic acid moiety, of thimerosal was responsible for glutathione depletion. GSH depletion is linked to several neurodegenerative disorders."

2009 - NeuroToxicology

Our study design does not enable us to determine whether it is the vaccine per se, the exposure to Th [thimerosal], or a combination of both that is causing the observed effects. None-the-less, the developing brain is considered the most vulnerable organ to mercury exposure, and experimental studies suggest that the brainstem - whose function is central to the reflexes described herein - may be one of the more sensitive targets ... Since the acquisition of motor reflexes is controlled by the brainstem, it is possible that very early exposure to ethyl mercury may adversely affect the emerging brainstem function ... this study provides preliminary evidence of abnormal early neurodevelopmental responses in male infant rhesus macaques [type of monkey] receiving a single dose of Th-containing [Thimerosal containing] HB [Hepatitis B] vaccine at birth and indicates that further investigation is merited."

There are still more studies not included in this article simply because the volume of information would be overwhelming, but the Material Data Safety Sheets and these scientific excerpts speak for themselves - Thimerosal is clearly a dangerous substance.

What the authors of that 1948 study probably didn't know when they said "If avoidance of the inconvenience of the average attack of pertussis is all that is expected" was that the historical data shows the death rate from pertussis had already fallen by 99% by the time they were writing their article and that their call to "diminish the hazard" of the vaccine would be apparently largely unheeded.

Historic Data Shows Vaccines Not Key in Declines in Death from Disease5

Is Alex Jones and Infowars Working For The Globalists?

The Flu Case

Alex Jones and Infowars have portrayed themslves as patriots and enemies of a global tyranny to be implemented under any New World Order using the UN, WHO and IMF as vehicles.
However, Infowars recent report on UN plans for gold coins strongly reinforces the notion that the website is actually trying to hide UN plans to move to a global currency - and a New World Order psych op website.

Paul Joseph Watson posted a report yesterday on Infowars saying that
the recent announcement by the United Nations that it will begin to mint gold and silver bullion coins bearing the UN logo “is likely to be a hoax, muddying the waters of the very real move towards a global monetary system”.
http://www.infowars.com/un-gold-hoax-muddies-the-waters-of-real-move-towards-global-currency/

Watson goes on to claim that the story is spread by FBI operatives, ignoring the fact that Infowars was among the first to put it out.

"UN to produce bullion coins as world currency ," was the headline of a story by Dwight Jones on December 31, 2009 posted on Infowars.

So what is Watson actually complaining about when Infowars was one of the first websites to put out the story of the UN's plans to produce bullion coins?

How come it is suddenly a hoax?
The original Dwight Jones story put out by Infowars was uncritical. It suggested the UN bullion coin was inevitable and even reasonable, that is to say, it served to condition people positively to the idea in a low key way.

However, others – including myself – began to ask questions such as where would the gold or even the license come from for the UN to be able to print silver and gold coins?

These critical reports have now come under fire from Watson and attacked as muddying the water

Watson now says there is no evidence that the UN wants to create a world currency.

“There is nothing on the UNCTAD website to verify the authenticity of the story,” Watson writes.

The fact is, the UN trade body, UNCTAD, basedf in Geneva close to WHO, has been calling for stable global exchange rates -- the back door to a UN global currency --- since March 2009 when the FT Deutschland reported on  an UNCTAD study calling for stable exchange rates.

http://www.ftd.de/politik/international/:renaissance-fuer-bretton-woods-uno-oekonomen-fuer-neues-waehrungssystem/490034.html

Also, the UNCTAD Trade and Development Report 2009, which can be downloaded from the UNCTAD website, clearly advocates a radical overhaul of the world's financial and monetary system and an agreement among the countries of the world to maintain stable exchange rates along the lines of the European monetary system.

But the European monatery system  established in 1979 when some European countries linked their currencies to prevent large fluctuations relative to one another, ultimately led to the creation of the euro with its coins and bank notes, as Wikipedia reports.

ON page 127 of the UNCTAD Trade and Development Report 2009, yoan read:
http://www.unctad.org/en/docs/tdr2009_en.pdf

“The Bretton Woods system and the European Monetary System provide precedents for what could be an appropriate solution to determine exchange rates within a multilateral framework. In these systems, the implicit rule was that the exchange rate of the national currencies with the international currency would be determined by the purchasing power of the currency expressed in all other currencies.“

The How long the UN currency remain gold or silver before it too is transformed into a paper, fiat currency is another question.

Infowars is not interested in exploring this issue or the way the UN is introducing a global currency through the back door as reported in UNCTAD’s own website contrary to Watson's claims.

Infowars is interested in putting out an uncritical report announcing UN bullion coins as a fait accompli – and if others notice the implications, Infowars attacks them, slurring them as FBI informanats, apparently more eager to defend the UN than the truth.

Why?
This report is just one piece of growing evidence that Jones is working for the NWO and his internet news operation is designed as part of a programme to spread fear.

More and more people are noticing that Alex Jones’s always focuses on a problem – but never on the solution.

Just one example.
Alex Jones  gave a commentary at New Year about the need for Americans to live up to the ideal of the freemason Founding Father George Washington over Christmas – but Jones never mentions the efforts of the continental congress to restore the constitution, an effort much broader in scope and more important to rebuilding the USA than Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed Bill, which is given acres of space.

And what about the suggestion of moving money to community banks? No mention hardly of that on Infowars.

In spring 2009, Alex Jones was one of the most prominent scare-mongerers over the swine flu virus in the alternative media along with controlled opposition Bill Deagle and True Ott.
Jones had callers into his show talking of millions of infected people in Mexico. He told everyone he was disappearing to his farm if the pandmeic virus ever appeared.

And he only reported on the dangers of the untested swine flu vaccination and the forced vaccination element in pandemic plans after the news had circulated far and wide on the US alternative media network thanks to the work of Dr Rebecca Carley and others like myself.

But we were never given a spot on his show. Our appearance was cancelled on spurious grounds.

Jones never mentioned that I have filed charges against Baxter or that they were being investigated by the police. The impression Jones gives is that the police and army are people’s biggest enemy. This is not true.

Jones call today for people to file petitions and lawsuits against proposals to implement full body scanner s at airports looks great. But a closer look reveals that the real story concerning the Delta airplane bombing -- namely the overwhelming evidence elements in the US government conspired to destroy a plane -- has been pushed out for all the reports on Yemen and body scanners.
http://www.infowars.com/alex-jones-calls-for-mass-resistance-to-implementation-of-body-scanners/
The latest episode of Jesse Ventura’s Conspiracy Theory on the global plot to murder millions through the vaccine was clearly designed to instill fear while giving as little useful information as possible – let alone any real solutions.

This is also true of Jones’s treatment of Climate Gate and the Copenhagen Treaty.

Christopher Monckton’s video clip posted on Youtube in October on the dangers in the Copenhagen Treaty was widely seen before Alex Jones picked up on the story.

The hacked emails became the major, indeed only item, for weeks on Jones website after the entire internet was buzzing with it.

Copenhagen was widely believed to have been a significant failure for the globalists and banksters’s plan to establish the UN system as a global form of government – but Jones perpetuates the view they scored a major success and are just “playing dead”.

The UN and WHO and IMF have been largely ignored by Jones, though it is becoming increasingly clear they are the key vehicles of control.

Jones also presents himself as a champion of 9/11 truth. But is he?

Alex Jones does not, for example, mention Dr Judy Wood and the evidence that directed energy weapons destroyed the twin towers on September 9/11, evidence submitted in a case that has made its way to the Supreme Court.

But it is not just what Jones leave out that is important - but also what he puts in to his shows.

Alex Jones promotes well known counterintelligence agents such as Dr Rima Laibow, wife of retired Major General Albert Stubblebine, head of a US psych op warfare department.

Even David de Rotschild is allowed air time.
He also gives space to less well known ones such as Nigel Farage of the UKIP, widely  believed to be another member of the controlled opposition who gives big speeches in European Parliament while consistently blocking any effective action according to party members.

And what about Ron Paul?

Though a medical doctor, his only criticism of the swine flu vaccine campaign made to Russia Today was that the Big US Government could not deliver the vaccine fast enough.

How come Paul, another freemason, could not find a few words to say about the fact the vaccine was untested and toxic ?

Not that Rense is any better. Rense is to Alex Jones what Obama is to Bush. They are just the two sides of the same NWO coin.

They represent the false mainstream/alternative media paradigm.

They work for the same paymasters.

They are there to collect IP addresses, enable them to be put in data bases and matched with addresses and now too with GP coordinates folllowing the census, etc.

They are there to terrify, paralyze, humiliate and bully.

Just now there was a report on Infowars saying 70% of Americans were in favour of invading Yemen.

Who believes that?

But this so-called on line poll gives the impression a consensus has formed and that the invasion of Yemen is inevitable when no consensus has formed and an invasion is not inevitable.

In 2010, the time has come to move forward with constructive proposals for rebuilding the USA and Europe – and the time has come to remove obstacles to their implementation.

And Alex Jones has become an obstacle with his fear mongering and manipulation of information.

The USA is lucky to have people like Dr Rebecca Carley, Dr Robin Falkow and Dr Mercola, among many others, in the alternative media.
They are crticial and informative while being constructive in their approach.
We need fresh news websites, fresh ideas, fresh avenues of communication, real confidence is needed to meet the challenges ahead.
We need a clear visions of what can be accomplished in the coming weeks and months.

MUSLIMS IN THE 21ST CENTURY: START DISCRIMINATING FOR OUR LIVES

By Frosty Wooldridge
December 31, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

Part 14: Muslims play for keeps, Napolitano wants to show her love

In the State of Washington last month, Muslim Maurice Clemmons methodically killed four police officers in cold blood as they sat eating breakfast at a diner. Last month, in Detroit, Michigan, a dozen Islamic immigrants fired on FBI agents as they called for an Islamic State and Sharia Law to be enacted in Michigan. Another Muslim ran over his daughter (for wearing jeans) and killed her in Phoenix, Arizona in November: honor killing. At Fort Hood, a Muslim U.S. soldier, Major Nidal Hasan, killed 13 and wounded 28 Americans in a shooting spree. Nigerian Muslim Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, flying into Detroit, Michigan over the weekend, attempted to kill all 268 passengers on board with explosives sewn into his underwear.

Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano beamed, “The system works!” on national TV, but in fact, the bomb failed and security failed. Nearly 300 passengers could have and would have met their deaths if Abdulmutallab’s bomb blew up.

What does it mean? It means Napolitano exemplifies incompetence at the highest levels. While she later retracted her absurd statement, the U.S. Congress imported another 2,000 Muslims into the United States in December with the refugee program. Total for 2009: in excess of 24,000 Muslims arrived in the USA and we have no clue as to their intentions.

Reality check: we play Russian roulette with our culture, language and civilization! Call it political correctness or call it stupid as a doornail, our leaders couldn’t find their rear-ends with their own hands. Harry Reid advances ‘multiculturalism’ that will never touch him and Speaker Nancy Pelosi loves ‘diversity’ without having to stick her feet into it. Both advocate ‘political correctness’ at all costs.

In a brilliant piece, “On terrorism it’s time to know, to profile, and to discriminate” by Newt Gingrich, he calls for ‘discrimination’ in full force as to ferreting out Islamic terrorists.

“America is long overdue for a serious global strategy that includes targeting threats such as the terrorist killer at Fort Hood, the individuals recently arrested in Detroit, Denver and New York, and the five Americans detained in Pakistan,” Gingrich said. “The scale, persistence and sophistication of the enemy requires an honesty, a clarity, and a scale appropriate to the response. Once again, instead of targeting the source of the threats, our politically correct government decides to make life more miserable for the travelling public by imposing hopelessly meaningless rules such as not allowing passengers to leave their seats in the last hour of the flight. Bound by cultural sensitivities, the default reaction of the bureaucracy is to review the procedures and wring its hands ineffectively.”

How stupid are we?

“Before a lot more Americans are killed we must acquire the courage to tell the truth and to act on that truth,” said Gingrich. “We know our opponents are radical extremists of the irreconcilable wing of Islam. We know they have an ideology which is anti-female, desires to impose fundamentalist Sharia as a form of law, is hostile to other religions and is prepared to kill the innocent to achieve their goals. We know how to identify these enemies but our elites have refused to do so.”

 

Protecting the Rights of Terrorists: More Important than Protecting the Lives of Americans

“In the Obama Administration, protecting the rights of terrorists has been more important than protecting the lives of Americans,” said Gingrich. “It is time to know more about would-be terrorists, to profile for terrorists and to actively discriminate based on suspicious terrorist information. The United States should track down the owners of every website that promotes terrorism and systematically root them out. It should be as dangerous to a person promoting terrorism as it is to execute an act of terrorism. The same should apply to the electronic communications of every known radical (and using these communications to track down every unknown radical).”

The United States Must Actively Root Out Every Terrorist Website

“The people behind these websites should be barred from getting a U.S. visa if not in the United States (concurrently, we should make it easier – not harder – for non-terrorists to get visas because we want to encourage the law abiding while discriminating against the potential terrorist),” said Gingrich. “It should be reasonable for the flying public to have expected that when the Nigerian terrorist's father reported he was going to a terrorist training camp he should automatically have been barred from getting a visa and from flying into the United States.

We Need a "Grand National Strategy"

“Americans should also note that ABC News is reporting that two of the plotters to blow the Amsterdam to Detroit flight out of the air were released from Guantanamo in 2007, attended an "art rehabilitation program" in Saudi Arabia, were released and took up senior leadership positions in al Qaeda in Yemen. Americans should also know that nearly half of the remaining detainees in Guantanamo are from Yemen,” said Gingrich. “The recent arrest of five Americans in Pakistan and the report there are 25 British citizens training to be bombers in Yemen should remind us this is a global war.”

The New Honesty Should End Any Thought of a Civilian Trial in New York for KSM

“This new honesty about the threat should end any thought of a civilian trial in New York for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammad with its dangers for exposing American intelligence information. All terrorists including would-be bomber Abdulmutallab should be tried in military tribunals as part of a serious war strategy,” said Gingrich. “The Attorney General and every Justice Department appointee whose law firms provided pro bono counsel for terrorists should be fired and replaced with lawyers who believe the lives of Americans are more important than the rights of terrorists.”

Fire Janet Napolitano from Homeland Security: hire a retired military general!

What Gingrich said, I echo. Fire Napolitano for being inept, incompetent and out of touch. She reminds me of a five foot woman that cannot swim, but she jumped into a 10 foot swimming pool with no lifeguards. She’s in over her head and she’s taking our whole country down with her. She proved herself an inept governor of Arizona and as a ‘political appointee’, her incompetence could get more of us killed.

In the end, we wonder how competent her boss will prove himself.

MUSLIMS IN 21ST CENTURY AMERICA: MUSLIM MAFIA OPERATES WITH IMPUNITY

By Frosty Wooldridge
December 21, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

Part 13: Slow, methodical, disciplined, meticulous injection of Islam into America

Islam contributed not one iota to the U.S. Constitution. In fact, if our founding fathers followed Islam, this nation would be ruled by theocratic Sharia Law. Women would enjoy less status than their husbands’ dogs. Everyone would be mandated to bow to Mecca five times a day. Islam does not allow freedom of religion, freedom of thought or women’s rights. It demands total submission to all within its power. It rules by fear.

Most Americans do not hold a clue as to Islam’s systematic incursion into the United States. In 1990, a total of 100,000 Muslims made less than a ripple within America. But, because of the late Senator Teddy Kennedy’s corruption of immigration and aided by our U.S. Congress, today, Muslims number from eight to nine million.

They enclave as they push regular Americans out of cities and towns across America. Detroit, Michigan suffers 600,000 Middle Eastern immigrants. Notice it also suffers 50 percent illiteracy and a 76 percent dropout rate from their high schools. They find themselves better served by sticking together with their religion, language and customs. They work against every aspect of ‘assimilating’ into America.

For simple examples of their ‘separating’ themselves from host countries, you may look at France, United Kingdom, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Austria, Germany, Norway and other countries overtaken by Muslims. They literally create an antagonistic culture within the host country.

As of December, 2009, they boast of 1,209 mosques in America; most built with Saudi Arabia oil money. As their custom dictates, women must remain in a lowered status and enter those mosques at back doors.

In an expose’ of Islam’s final intentions as to the United States, IPT News published the following account: “Radical Movement's Leader Forecasts America's Demise” on December 4, 2009. You may access it at this website.
“As the spotlight moves away from the Fort Hood massacre, one of America's most openly radical Islamist organizations has taken to the murderer's defense,” IPT reported. “As-Sabiqun, a Washington D.C.-based organization with branches in four other major American cities, released a flyer labeling shooter Nidal Malik Hasan as "victimized" and the "target of psychological warfare." The handout also defended convicted terrorists and suspects.

“As-Sabiqun has repeatedly predicted the demise of the United States and dreams of "the Islamic State of North America no later than 2050." It has openly declared support for terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hizbullah, and even claimed it funded anti-American militants. With concerns growing over radical Islamist propaganda in the United States, As-Sabiqun is one of the leading organizations building a bridge between international Islamism and its developing American counterpart.”

Steve S. responded to the report: “So what's new? As-Sabiqun is perfectly within his legislated rights to call for the violent overthrow of our freedoms and values, and I expect anytime soon to be reminded by leftist inbreds that not all Muslims are terrorists and that Islam is a peaceful religion...oh, and that I must be a bigot for thinking otherwise. Let's face it; there is little hope for the fat and complacent West as long as our gutless leaders yawn at the reality that the progress of Man is under siege by an insidious religious ideology that will stop at nothing short of unconditional domination. Much of Scandinavia is already on the path to capitulation, while the rest of Europe continues to huddle around the consolation that it holds the moral high ground.”

A Muslim named “Musa” has traveled abroad to support Islamist movements worldwide. The As-Sabiqun website indicates that Musa traveled abroad several times to Iran. During a 1996 conference in South Africa, he stated:

"And this religion Islam will dominate all other religions whether the Americans, whether the British, whether the French, whether the Russians, whether the Japanese, whether all of them get together in one solid group to fight Islam. It don't make no difference. In the final analysis, Allah said that his religion—Islam—will rise to the forefront, will be elevated to the role of leadership in this world, whether they all like it or not."

“The extremism expressed by As-Sabiqun and Musa might easily be passed off as the bizarre ranting of a radical cleric and his hateful organization,” reported IPT News. “However, as the Fort Hood massacre, the FBI shooting of Luqman Abdullah in Detroit, Michigan, and other recent investigations show, fiery rhetoric can lead to violent plotting. The lesson of Fort Hood is not to ignore open self-radicalization, but to heed those who openly preach our destruction from within.”

If you think it’s easy to placate Islam, think again. It uses ‘political correctness’ like an art form. The Council on American Islamic Relations uses it with incredible finesse. However, the FBI and other federal organizations currently run investigations on C.A.I.R. for funneling money to terrorists.

Catching up to Islam, P. David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry wrote a blockbuster book, Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America.

Gaubatz and Sperry conducted a six-month penetration of the Council on American-Islamic Relations that resulted in the collection of thousands of pages of revealing documents as well as inside secrets.

“The book’s frightening allegations are well supported by more than twelve thousand pages of confidential, internal CAIR documents secretly extracted during an unprecedented undercover operation. This trail of information reveals the insidious and well-funded efforts of the seditious Muslim Brotherhood under the nonprofit guise of CAIR to fully support the international jihad against the United States, with the goal of transforming American society from within. They hope to accomplish this through terrorist activities, fraud, and infiltration of our political and intelligence systems, which these documents clearly reveal.”

What you'll learn in this book:

Which politicians are given money by CAIR.
How Capitol Hill staffers are strategically placed by CAIR.
Why FBI bonuses are paid to agents who are nice to CAIR.
Why our government is afraid to reveal what they really know about CAIR.

Again, the United States remains the last ‘mark’ for Islam. It’s going to be very interesting to see how fast it converges onto America and how fast it uses the U.S. Constitution to institute Sharia Law within the United States, city by city, state by state and ultimately, all of America.

MUSLIMS IN 21ST CENTURY AMERICA: WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW WILL KILL AMERICAN CULTURE

By Frosty Wooldridge
December 17, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

Part 12: A Muslim can lie to any non-believer if it gives the upper hand

Islam demands total submission of its devotees. Muslims use any number of barbaric methods to terrify, frighten and scare members into obedience. As noted within this series, fathers run over their daughters killing them for infractions such as wearing jeans and husbands behead their wives for filing for a divorce as shown by this occurrence:

In New York, February 16, 2009, FOX News, Joshua Rhett Miller reported, “The estranged wife of a Muslim television executive feared for her life after filing for divorce last month from her abusive husband,” her attorney said — and was found beheaded Thursday in his upstate New York television studio. Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37, was found dead on Thursday at the offices of Bridges TV in Orchard Park, N.Y., near Buffalo. Her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, has reportedly been charged with second-degree murder.

Please note that this activity encompasses 5,000 female deaths annually in Middle Eastern countries. Unimaginable torture of women remains common such as acid being thrown in their faces for disobedience. For Muslims, it’s normal. For Western culture, we shudder at the barbarism of it.

For those American women promoting multiculturalism and diversity by inviting millions of Muslims into this country, a rude awakening awaits American women or their daughters in the future.

For a sobering look at what we face, please visit this website.

You will find how Islam deals with homosexuals or ‘gays’. Muslims tend to kill them without questions. The following three videos will give you an idea of Islamic violence toward gays.

“Back on September 25th, a few thousand Muslims gathered on Capitol Hill, a number well short of the 50,000 the event planners were shooting for and hoping for,” said an ACT member. “An ACT for America team, led by two of our Florida chapter leaders, was on hand for the event, and was able to interview a number of the Muslims who attended.”

In one case, the discussion centered around whether or not homosexuals should be put to death under Shariah law. Care to guess what the Muslim’s position was? Kill all homosexuals!
In a second instance, the team interviewed a disciple of terrorist Sheikh Gilani. Sheikh Gilani’s organization is behind the creation of some 40 secretive compounds in this country which are the focus of the video documentary “Homegrown Jihad.” This interview is an eye-opening example of how, when confronted, Islamists deny even the most obvious and documented facts.
In a third instance, our team captured some very revealing video about the place of women in Islam.

All three of these videos are now available for public viewing, and I encourage you to view them and pass this email on to others.

1-Homosexuals must be killed…
2-ACT! interviews disciple of Islamist terrorist Sheikh Gilani
3-Intriguing insight into a dominant male theocracy where men are intimidating and threatening and where women are segregated, submissive, and subjugated.”

As I dug deeper into this phenomenon of Islam, I found several verses in the Koran where they are allowed to lie like a thief if they are talking to a non-believer. Thus, they do not have any moral or ethical compunction while in our country to tell the truth. As long as they do not offend Allah, they can essentially get away with murder.

In the Seattle, Washington area, Muslim Maurice Clemmons killed four police officers while they sat eating breakfast. According to Allah, since all of them were non-believers, Allah directed Clemmons to kill them in cold blood. Muhammad the Prophet made dozens of references to kill non-believers in the name of Islam.

While we import 2,000 Muslims per month into the USA, we cannot possibly acculturate or absorb them into Western civilization and its democratic ways. They enclave into their own ‘communities’ much like the Mexicans. Thus, we will experience more and more ‘honor killings’ such as beheadings, cut off hands, beating deaths, acid in faces, female genital mutilation, arranged marriages with nine year old daughters and terror attacks.

One of my readers said, “Self-Serving Diversity Nuts are Destroying Our Country”

“For the past 25 years I have been writing on the destructive force of diversity, affirmative action, political correctness, and the hypocrisy and stupidity by those in government and the news media in regards to these evils,” said JFA. “And, I have found that anyone who speaks the truth about these issues will be labeled a racist and an un-American malcontent, by our self-anointed elites, especially, those in the newspaper business.

“It seems these 'supposed' purveyors of the truth don't want readers to be aware of the outrageous high crime rate committed by Blacks; that 95 percent of HIV is spread by promiscuous homosexuals and needle using drug addicts; that it was hundreds of homosexual Catholic priests and not a few pedophiles that sexually abused the male teenagers of its parishioners; and we are to over-look the millions of third world aliens crossing our borders illegally and the thousands who overstay their visas.

“I have been chastised and had my words in articles changed by political correct (lying) newspaper elites for even calling the flood of aliens

invading our country, “illegal aliens” -- and for writing that our corrupt Federal government only pretends to control our borders and ports -- even, now when we have 15 million unemployed. And, I have been demonized for writing that violence is escalating because over 100,000 illegal aliens along with 138,000 new immigrants with their children arrive in the U.S. every 30 days from war torn, poverty stricken, culturally incompatible countries where violence is a way of life.
“We now have another pandering, political correct President who by way of the FBI and a slobbering news media has attempted to label Nidal Malik Hasan's murderous attack on unarmed troops and civilians--not a terrorist attack.

“As a student of History and retired educator of 32 years, I know full well from my study of past civilizations that as, Jared Taylor of American

Renaissance said, "Diversity is the most stupid thing to ever come down the pike." It's obvious we have allowed our leaders to lead us into national idiocy and put us on the road to cultural genocide -- and, by doing so, have turned our nation into one no longer united by language and culture.

“The real killers at Fort Hood are our phony elites that led us down the path of diversity, affirmative action, and political correctness; and we lemmings are equally guilty and responsible for allowing them to do so.”

MUSLIMS IN 21ST CENTURY AMERICA: WHAT HISTORIANS SAY

By Frosty Wooldridge

Part 10: What historians say about Islam

As this series on Islam winds down, you may want to investigate how fast this religion spreads across the planet. Not because of its ‘purity’ or ‘intelligence’ but via its preying on illiteracy, poverty and desperation. In its rawest most basic form, it adheres to and promotes violence. Its disciples carry a furor called ‘jihad’ unknown to most Westerners until they find themselves nostril-deep within its grasp. It uses fear and intimidation when its numbers exceed the host country.

You may visit this website for a inkling of what America faces in the 21st century.

Libyan leader Moammar Kadafi said, “There are signs that Allah will grant victory to Islam in Europe without guns or conflict. The 52 million Muslims will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.” Note: European birthrates average 1.4 children while European Muslims hit 8.1 children per woman.

Fatwa world war: The new Islamic conquest began February 23 1998; (Published) A Statement signed by many Islamic Jihad leaders from most Muslim countries, first by Sheikh Osama Bin-Laden: ”In compliance with Allah’s order, we issue the following fatwa to all Muslims: The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies, civilians and military, is an individual duty for every Muslim who can, in any country in which it is possible. We with Allah's help call on every Muslim who believes in Allah and wishes to be rewarded, to comply with Allah's order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it. Unless you go forth, Allah will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place.” Muhammad, prophet of Islam

Amil Amani said, “To a jihadist, death is nothing more than casting off a shell of the worthless earthly existence and donning the suit for winging joyously to the life of bliss promised by none-other than Allah’s beloved final emissary, Muhammad. Eradication of jihadism is a daunting task, since Islam is truly a virulent persistent pandemic disease. Massive education efforts, combined with resolute confrontation of all sources and people that support and promote this deadly philosophy, hold the best promise of dealing effectively with this affliction of humanity.”

Make no mistake: if America continues importing millions of Muslims, at some point, they will vie for dominance in our society. They will push for Sharia Law as well as subjugation of women. Their religion proves one of the most virulent on the planet.

You may read what historians said:

Sir William Muir (1819-1905): He specialized in the history of Muhammad and the early time frame of rule. His chief books are a Life of Mahomet and History of Islam to the Era of the Hegira; Annals of the Early Caliphate; The Caliphate; The Koran: its Composition and Teaching; The Mohammedan Controversy, a reprint of five essays published at intervals between 1885 and 1887. In 1888 he delivered the Rede lecture at Cambridge on The Early Caliphate and Rise of Islam.

Along with other writings from Muir, his words ring clear today: “The sword of Muhammad and the Qur'an are the most fatal enemies of civilization, liberty and truth which the world has ever known - an unmitigated cultural disaster parading as God's will.”

Winston Churchill (1874-1965): “How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as His absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities.

“But the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.”

John Quincy Adams (1761-1848): “In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the linage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and fraudulent spirit of an imposter, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth.

“He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. The essence of his doctrine was violence and lust: to exalt the brutal over the spiritual part of human nature. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men.”

Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859): “I studied the Qur’an a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Mohammad. So far as I can see, it is the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world and, though less absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in my opinion more to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself.”

John Wesley (1703-1791): “Ever since the religion of Islam appeared in the world, the espouser of it have been as wolves and tigers to all that fell into their merciless paws, and grinding them with their iron teeth; that numberless cities are raised from the foundation, and only their name remaining; that many countries, which were once as the garden of God, are now a desolate wilderness; and that so many once numerous and powerful nations are vanished from the earth! Such was, and is at this day, the rage, the fury, the revenge, of these destroyers of human kind.”

U.S. President George Washington: “If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war. I plead with you to maintain your stance against the evil empire of darkness. I pray God to give you strength, courage, and knowledge in spreading the truth. Islamic followers are a formidable and dangerous enemy.”

The sooner America closes down the door to Islamic immigration, the sooner it stands a small chance of surviving Islam’s religious fervor in the 21st century. If not, we will follow Europe into the hellhole of Islamic incursion.

Correction for Part 8, December 7, 2009: When pointed out that I made a mistake, I take responsibility and I apologize. Several readers pointed out that I made an error as to the sign in the book store honoring a 9/11 terrorist. “That sign in the window of the shop in Houston, TX had nothing to do with 9/11 or the hijackers. Here's the explanation - please share with your readers so they don't come away with the wrong impression. Imam Ali has nothing to do with any 9/11 hijacker - Imam Ali was the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad and his "martyrdom" (assassination) on orders of the Sunni Governor of Syria, Muawiyah, fell on the 19th day of the month of Ramadan in the year 661 C.E. - in keeping with the precession of the Muslim lunar calendar, this particular year (2009), that date just happened to fall on Friday 11 September - nothing whatsoever to do with the attacks of 9/11 - this is a strictly Shi'a Muslim observance of the 7th century killing of the man they consider the first Imam of Shi'a Islam. Hope this proves helpful to you...so, please let your readers know that this shopkeeper's sign was about a Shi'a religious commemoration - not 9/11!” CML Woodbridge, VA

MUSLIMS IN 21ST CENTURY AMERICA: POLITICAL CORRECTNESS ALLOWS RAMPANT INTIMADATION

By Frosty Wooldridge
December 7, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

Part 9: Dry run for another 9/11, Muslims in America honoring their guy who drove the airplane into the WTC towers on 9/11.

A Muslim book store in Houston, Texas closed on 9/11 in order to celebrate one of the hijackers that drove an airplane into the World Trade Center towers. Harwin Drive is a street in southwest Houston lined with shops that sell right off the boat Chinese junk and knock-offs. Muslims run the majority of shops. A Houston resident said, “Today I went to the Harwin Central Mall to pick up some crystals. The very first store that you come to when you walk from the lobby of the building into the shopping area had this sign posted on their door. It read, “We are closed today September 11, 2009 in order to commemorate Imam Ali.” I couldn’t stay in the building it made me so sick.

Imam Ali piloted one of the planes into the World Trade Towers on 9/11/01. Thus, we feature Muslim-Americans that celebrate his actions annually while we mourn our 3,000 dead at the same time.

This story occurred on November 17, 2009 as reported by FOX NEWS. Below, you may read the story from the man who reported it as an eyewitness:

“One week ago, I went to Ohio on business and to see my father,” said Tedd Patruna. “On Tuesday, November the 17th, I returned home. If you read the papers the 18th you may have seen a blurb where a Air Tran flight was cancelled from Atlanta to Houston due to a man who refused to get off of his cell phone before takeoff. It was on Fox.”

Here is what actually happened.

“I was in 1st class coming home,” Patruna said. “Eleven Muslim men got on the plane in full attire. Two sat in 1st class and the rest peppered themselves throughout the plane all the way to the back. As the plane taxied to the runway the stewardesses gave the safety spiel we are all so familiar with. At that time, one of the men got on his cell and called one of his companions in the back and proceeded to talk on the phone in Arabic very loudly and very aggressively. This took the 1st stewardess out of the picture for she repeatedly told the man that cell phones were not permitted at the time. He ignored her as if she was not there.

“The 2nd man who answered the phone did the same and this took out the 2nd stewardess. In the back of the plane at this time, two younger Muslims, one in the back, isle, and one in front of him, window, began to show footage of a porno they had taped the night before, and were very loud about it. They are only permitted to do this prior to Jihad. The 3rd stewardess informed them that they were not to have electronic devices on at this time. To which one of the men said, “Shut up infidel dog!” She tried to take the camcorder and he began to scream in her face in Arabic. At that exact moment, all 11 of them got up and started to walk the cabin. This is where I had had enough! I got up and started to the back where I heard a voice behind me from another Texan twice my size say “I got your back.” I grabbed the man who had been on the phone by the arm and said, “You WILL go sit down or you WILL be thrown from this plane!” As I “led” him around me to take his seat, the fellow Texan grabbed him by the back of his neck and his waist and headed out with him. I then grabbed the 2nd man and said, “You WILL do the same!” He protested but adrenaline was flowing now and he was going to go.

The pilots taxied the plane back to the terminal.

“As I escorted him forward the plane doors open and three TSA agents and four police officers entered. My new Texan friend and I were told to cease and desist for they had this under control. I was happy to oblige actually. There was some commotion in the back, but within moments, all 11 were escorted off the plane. They then unloaded their luggage.

“We talked about the occurrence and were in disbelief that it had happened, when suddenly, the door open again and on walked all 11!! Stone faced, eyes front and robotic. The stewardess from the back had been in tears and when she saw this, she was having NONE of it! Being that I was up front, I heard and saw the whole ordeal. She told the TSA agent there was NO WAY she was staying on the plane with these men. The agent told her they had searched them and were going to go through their luggage with a fine tooth comb and that they were allowed to proceed to Houston. The captain and co-captain came out and told the agent “We and our crew will not fly this plane!” After a word or two, the entire crew, luggage in tow, left the plane. Five minutes later, the cabin door opened again and a whole new crew walked on.

“Again…..this is where I had had enough!!! I got up and asked “What the hell is going on?” I was told to take my seat. They were sorry for the delay and I would be home shortly. I said “I’m getting off this plane”. The stewardess sternly told me that she could not allow me to get off. I said, “I am a grown man who bought this ticket, whose time is mine with a family at home and I am going through that door, or I’m going through that door with you under my arm!! But I am going through that door!!” And I heard a voice behind me say “so am I”. Then everyone behind us started to get up and say the same. Within two minutes, I was walking off that plane where I was met with more agents who asked me to write a statement. I had five hours to kill at this point so why the hell not. Due to the amount of people who got off that flight, it was cancelled. I was supposed to be in Houston at 6 pm. I got here at 12:30 am.”

Look up the date. Flight 297 Atlanta to Houston.

“If this wasn’t a dry run, I don’t know what one is,” said Petruna. “The terrorists wanted to see how TSA would handle it, how the crew would handle it, and how the passengers would handle it. I’m telling this to you because I want you to know….The threat is real. I saw it with my own eyes.”

As we import more and more Muslims into America, they will congeal into a powerful political, religious, linguistic, cultural and balkanized force. They repeat the same in every country they colonize.

We can expect those suicide bombers from Iraq and Afghanistan to morph into immigrant-citizens or children born of immigrants to begin blowing up malls, theaters and sports contests in the United States. It’s only a matter of time. It’s already happening with such examples as the “Fort Dix Six, Fort Hood’s Major Nidal Hasan, American born Muslim Najibullah Zazi in Denver last month, and a half dozen others from New York to Dallas, Texas.

“The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, or preventing all possibility of it continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities and languages.” President Teddy Roosevelt, 1908

Unfortunately, we’re doing it to ourselves. Apathy + tolerance= dying virtues of the American civilization.
