CDC allegedly falsifies reports--ignoring up to 3,587 Miscarriages from H1N1 Vaccine

Using the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), including updates through July 11, 2010 as a second ascertainment source, capture-recapture statistical methods* were used to estimate the true number of miscarriages and stillbirths following A-H1N1 flu vaccination in the U.S. Typically, even so-called "complete" studies conducted by the CDC have been shown to miss from 10% to 90% of the actual cases because of under-reporting.The statistical method employed is an expeditious and cost effective method of attempting to ascertain a complete count of all cases when two or more ascertainment sources (VAERS and NCOW survey) have failed to collect all the existing cases. Overall, this approach shows that approximately only 15% of the occurrences of a miscarriage or stillbirth were actually reported.

S 510 and Crohn’s Disease

What if what we have been taught was clean and pure is actually filthy and even implicated in an on-going epidemic? What if what we have been taught was dangerous to our health may actually be crucial for it?
We have been taught to believe that pasteurized milk is free of bacteria and thus safe. That turns out to be dangerously untrue.   European studies show that pasteurized milk can contain a bacterium known as Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), the same bacterium as Johnes disease in cattle. It can be cultured from 5-20 percent of the “pasteurized” milk sold in supermarkets. American milk undergoes an identical pasteurization process and can also be cultured for MAP. Johnes disease is a cattle disease rampant throughout the industrial dairy industry where dairy cows are confined.
Johnes bacterium is the same bacterium in Crohn’s disease, a disease that NIH reports is impacting almost a million people in the US (the Crohn’s foundation reports that 1.5 million are affected).
The FDA and CDC and other government agencies have known of the relationship between MAP (Johnes disease) and Crohns for some time.
.....Shiv Chopra – former food and drug safety scientist at Health Canada (the Canadian equivalent to the FDA) who helped stop rBGH from being approved there and was fired for trying to stop antibiotics in animals – calls hormones, antibiotics, slaughterhouse waste, pesticides and GMOs, “the toxic five.” None, he says, are in the food chain legally because the FDA failed in its duty to test any of them for safety. Three (hormones, antibiotics and slaughterhouse waste) have been banned for years in Europe and the EU has been trying to ban the other two, pesticides and GMOs.

(Dr. Shiv Chopra is one of three Health Canada scientists whose testimony before a Senate Committee in 1998 triggered headlines around the world. The scientists testified that Health Canada managers had pressured them to release suspect veterinary drugs into the food chain without the evidence of safety required by the Food and Drugs Act.

monsanto hired notorious 'security' firm blackwater

http://foodworldorder.blogspot.com



In an email obtained by Scahill, a Blackwater operative who had talked to Monsato officials ahead of the hiring claimed that the security firm would "develop into acting as intel arm of Monsanto" -- including infiltrating activist groups working to oppose it. The operative wrote hopefully of Monsato's "generous protection budget."

A Monsanto official told Scahill that the relationship ended in early in 2010 and denied that there were ever plans to infiltrate activist groups. Instead, he said, Blackwater served Monsanto "by monitoring local media reports and other publicly available information." Scahill adds: "The subject matter ranged from information regarding terrorist incidents in Asia or kidnappings in Central America to scanning the content of activist blogs and websites."
