How is the
Autism/Health Freedom Alliance Going?
May 13th, 2012
-
In early March of this year a trial
coalition was formed between the North
American Health Freedom Movement and the
Autism Parents. The first combined
group meeting occurred at the
Long Beach Health Freedom Expo, March
2nd, 3rd, and 4th, 2012, and it was
a huge, high energy success.
More, the meetings between leaders of
both groups continued all weekend,
starting with a "Meet and Greet" on
Friday night.
As we know two conferences are coming
up, for the groups, about three weeks
apart. The first,
AutismOne, will be held May 23rd,
through May 27th, 2012 at The Westin
Lombard Yorktown Center, 70 Yorktown
Shopping Center, Lombard, IL 60148.
The conference title, this year, is "The
Dawn of a New Decade: From Truth to
Treatment."
The second, about three weeks later, the
Health Freedom Expo - Chicago, will
be held at the Renaissance Schaumberg
Hotel and Convention Center, 1551 N.
Thoreau Dr, Schaumburg, IL 60173. It has
a standard operating theme:
"What sets the Health Freedom Expo
apart from other health expos is (that)
the information presented is not 'just
to sell product to consumers,' it's
about people who are passionate about
sharing information. It's about how our
health freedoms are being taken away and
it is about exposing the truth. Other
shows are designed to sell product,
here, that is available, but that is not
the emphasis. The Health Freedom Expo is
about educating and being empowered, and
that is what makes it different."
I, Tim Bolen, am speaking at both.
More correctly, I am hosting panels at
both. And, leaders from both
groups will be in attendance, roaming
the hallways with a smile, making new
alliances.

Federal Court Puts Barrett-Quackwatch-Skeptics
"On Notice..."
April 30th, 2012
-
The Skeptics (pseudo-skeptics) are
pretty much in a panic. Suddenly,
not all that long ago, they began
conducting the equivalent of online
legal training, amongst themselves,
trying to clean up their organizational
assault so they don't, either
individually, or in a group, get sued.
There is no doubt that a series of
lawsuits, directed at their activity,
has them spooked.
The most obvious of those lawsuits, of
course, is the
Doctor's Data v Barrett, et al,
federal court case. The second, by
my analysis, is the
Wakefield v Brian Deer, et al, case
in Austin, Texas. There are
others, but they pale in comparison to
these two. And, more importantly,
the pseudo-skeptics fear that this crop
of lawsuits will grow into a wave of
legal assaults against them across North
America.
Their fear is well grounded.

Mark & David
versus
Goliath...
April 14th, 2012
-
If you think about it, there are only
two questions that need to be answered
to solve the Autism problem: (1)
What's really causing it? and (2)
how do we fix it?
Of course we know the answer to the
first question (vaccines), and we are
working on the second one.
Probably the biggest, and most
devastating component in Autism
causation, is thimerosal (mercury) used
as a preservative in 96.2% of childhood
vaccines offered worldwide. There
are several other Autism causation
components, but we will only mention
them today, while we focus on the
thimerosal issue once again.
Do not for a moment think that I am
minimizing the concerns of those
pressing the MMR vaccine issues (like
Andy Wakefield), or any of the other
causations. As you know, we are
discussing all of those points - but not
today.
Personally, I think the thimerosal issue
is the most important one for two
reasons: (1) It has caused
the most damage, and (2) It is
symptomatic of the larger problem - the
malevolence of an industry that has
known for a very long time how damaging
thimerosal is, could have eliminated it,
and intentionally did not.
Background - For this
article, today, I need to introduce you to what the
not-long-ago "Omnibus
Autism Proceedings" (OAP) were about so you can
see where this article begins, and we can outline
the players.
The OAP was started because the
Vaccine Court created by the
National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA),
in 1987,
had become overloaded with claims, and the Special Masters
running the court simply did not want to have to
trudge through the backlog of the 5,400 cases facing
it over vaccine injuries. So, they ordered
that all of the 5,400 cases be distilled down into
six representative cases - three from the MMR
Vaccine causes Autism argument, and three from
the Thimerosal (mercury) in vaccines causes
Autism argument.
I have been working on a new articles
series involving what's called the "Omnibus
Autism Proceedings" (OAP) which, I
have to say, is going to be the most
scandalous yet of my Autism articles to
date - even overshadowing the "The CDC Has Known All
Along How Dangerous Vaccines Are - And Has Covered
It Up... (Parts One thru Five)
series.

Part Two - The
Forming Alliance - Health Freedom Movement
Joining with Autism Parents...
The first
meeting was a huge success...
March 6th, 2012
- The Health Freedom Expo in
Long Beach, California (March 2, 3rd,
and 4th, 2012), the
first official meeting between the North
American Health Freedom Movement and the
Autism Parents, was way, way bigger than
I thought it would be....
People that know me soon
figure out that I'm on the telephone
constantly. Bluetooth in my car
makes driving just another office for
me. Telephone conversations with
key people are very important, for it is
the network that makes things happen.
Since I know the key
people in the Health Freedom Movement, I
know, beforehand, what they will say,
for instance, in a speech at the Health
Freedom Expo. We already talked
about it at length, of course, on the
phone. So, I don't need to be
there to hear it again.
With that said, no one in
the Movement would be surprised that I
would show up at the Expo three hours
after it started with my phone in my
ear. I had, of course, stopped at
LAX to pick up attorney Bob Reeves (from
Kentucky).
When I walked into the
convention center front door, right
there, in the center's prime location,
was the Registration Booth for the
Health Freedom Expo - and the line of
people there to get their weekend
tickets was massive.
Massive - and Friday is
generally the "slow day."
Oh my...
I turned around and
looked down the main hallway, where the
lectures were, and there were people
milling as far as I could see, all the
way down to the far doors, a very long
ways away.
I saw Julie Whitman Kline
over at one end of the eight station
Registration Booth, and went over to
Julie and asked "Ummm, how is the
attendance?" She pointed to the
line, and further down the hallway, and
smiled, saying "Very good, very good.."
I was stunned. Yes,
getting the Health Freedom Movement
together with the Autism parents was a
good idea, but hey, the first time you
do something, or try something new, no
one expects instant success. It
just doesn't happen.
But this time it did.
That Registration line continued like
that ALL DAY, and all day on Saturday.
At 1:00PM on Sunday I walked by the
booth again and there were at least a
dozen people buying tickets - and the
last lecture was at 5:00PM.
Oh my...

Barrett SCREECHES
Over Doctor's Data Settlement Offer....
January 12th, 2012 - Judges in
Court cases ENCOURAGE parties to settle,
The new Judge in the
Doctor's Data v Stephen Barrett Federal Court
case is no exception. After all, the court
system is overloaded.
Shortly after
Judge Edmond E. Chang issued his
Decision in
Barrett's Motion to Dismiss the entire case,
Chang indicated to the parties that it would be
a good time to talk "settlement." Chang
ordered settlement talks.
According to
Court documents filed, following the Judge's
request, Doctor's Data set up a meeting with
Barrett's Chicago law firm to discuss
settlement. Jeff Levens and Al Augustine,
attorneys for Doctor's Data, personally attended
the meeting with Peter M. Katsaros, of Golan &
Christie LLP, Barrett's Chicago attorneys.
Michael Botts, Defendants’ lead attorney, joined
via conference call. The documents say:
"During said meeting, Mr. Levens continued,
Mr. Augustine and he listed four components that
were and are integral to a settlement:
Defendants would (1) delete the offensive
articles from the Internet; (2) agree not to
discuss Plaintiff for a specified period of
time, other than to (3) publish a pre-agreed
retraction; and (4) pay some amount of money in
damages. It was emphasized that Plaintiff
would be extremely reasonable with respect to
its monetary demand were Defendants to agree to
the three non-monetary components.
Mr. Katsaros then told the court that no
settlement would be possible where Plaintiff had
demanded a “7-figure” payment. This statement
was not true, however, because no amount
whatsoever had been stated during the meeting of
September 10, 2010.

Santa Claus
Delivers Stephen Barrett's Ass On a
Platter...
December 23rd, 2011 - Yes,
the title of this article is rude. But I've got
some last minute Christmas shopping to do, and
I'm not going to nice it up. The reality,
of course, that it was not actually Santa Claus
that delivered Barrett's parts, but a Federal
Judge. Considering the timing of the
Judge's actions, I'll stick with the title.
Last January 31st, 2011 Stephen
Barrett, of quackwatch,com infamy, filed a
Motion to Dismiss in its entirety, the
Doctor's Data v Stephen Barrett
Federal court case. Barrett's reasoning
(if you could call it that) was that he was
protected from lawsuits because he, Barrett, was
"Assisting Government." Laugh here.
More, it was clear to me, was
that Barrett was demanding that the Federal
Court declare him, Stephen Barrett, as the
undisputed "Czar/God of US Health Care."
Barrett, too, demanded that both the National
Council Against Heath Fraud (NCAHF), and
Quackwatch Inc, be removed from the case.
More, Barrett demanded
"sanctions" against Doctor's Data and their
lawyers, blah, blah, blah...
A new Judge had taken over the
case, so there was a delay in the Judge's
Decision in Barrett's Motion to Dismiss.
But we need to wait no longer. The
Decision is in.

Maryland Board of
Physicians May Not Survive Attack on
Mark and David Geier...
December 4th,
2011
- The Maryland Board of Physicians woke
up last week to find that the Maryland
legislature, which they thought, I
guess, was completely asleep, had
quietly, and very thoroughly, conducted
a formal investigation of the board's
operation. The legislative
committee in charge of this secret
investigation issued a two-hundred page
report scalding the department,
virtually declaring the board
incompetent and working against the
interests of the people of Maryland.
In a moment I will show
you flaming excerpts from this report.
Last April 28th, 2011
famous mercury issue attorney Bob Reeves
had called me, asking me to look
into, as a Crisis Management Consultant,
the Maryland Geier situation and give
him, and the Geiers, my Opinion and make
some Recommendations. I did that,
both publicly and privately. You
can read my original public analysis by
clicking
here.
One thing I had pointed
out, both publicly and privately, was
that, in my opinion, the board, itself,
was operating, not for the people of
Maryland, but for special interests (the
vaccine construction) - I pointed out
specifics. I pointed
out that licensing boards, despite their
own ideas of how they operate, do NOT
operate without oversight, and that
whatever that oversight in Maryland was,
it needed to be activated immediately.

WHO, CDC, and FDA
SCORNED at Third UN Mercury
Conference...
November 7th,
2011
- Things couldn't have seemed
rosier for Big Pharma last January,
2011. Dismayed as they were at
failed attempts to stave off financial
losses from upcoming patent-run-outs,
the situation, at least in the vaccine
program, was nicely going to generate
tons of gold bullion, satchels of
emeralds, and shiploads of cash in ever
increasing amounts - more than enough to
keep those CEO and top executive annual
bonuses rolling in. Boards of
Directors, and Common Stock Financial
Fund Managers were all friendly - warm
and fuzzy.
Then on January 27th,
2011 the bottom dropped out of their
world. Suddenly, with virtually no
warning, the entire "Vaccine
Construction" so carefully constructed,
so snickered over in Boardrooms, was,
not only at risk, but was likely to come
crashing down. Mark and David
Geier, accompanied by Lisa Sykes showed
up, information packets in hand, at the
second
United Nations
Environment Programme -
Intergovernmental
Negotiating Committee to prepare a
global legally binding instrument on
Mercury (INC2).
CoMeD, their anti-mercury in medicine
organization, had been accepted by the
UN as a Non Government Organization
(NGO), an official delegate to the UN
program.
The drug lords, and their
under-minion's, gasping began...
By the end of the
conference the "Thimerosal in Vaccine"
issue was part of the UN agenda.
For Big Pharma
leadership, breathing became difficult.

The CDC
Has Known All Along How Dangerous
Vaccines Are - And Has Covered It Up...
(Part Three)
October 22nd, 2011 - Today,
I am going to talk about what
US government agencies involved in
vaccine regulation knew, and when
they knew it regarding the problems of
Thimerosal in vaccines. First
though, I will talk about why this is
important information to have.
In articles part one and two I showed
you what Biochemist Brian Hooker PhD has
been doing with his time since late
2004. Hooker has been trying to
get public information about the five
studies the Center for Disease Control
and prevention (CDC) claims it ordered,
and now relies on, claiming that mercury
in vaccines is safe and effective.
Here is what I said:
"In late 2004 Biochemist Scientist Brian Hooker PhD
had had enough. He'd been looking, carefully,
through the US Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC)'s so-called "Evidence" that
Thimerosal was "Safe and Effective" as a
preservative in vaccines. Having read all of
the then available CDC studies making that claim,
he, as a PhD Scientist, couldn't help but shake his
head "NO." To him, none of the purported proof
was anywhere near being scientifically adequate.
Far from it.
So, like any math teacher would do to a student he
began to communicate to the CDC his questions.
In essence he was saying "Show me your work.
Show me how you came up with these answers" - a
reasonable question series among scientists,
teachers and students, and frankly, the population
of Planet Earth.
What was CDC's response? STONEWALL - a
six year knock-down, drag-out brawl to get that
information. Brian Hooker would not let up.
Neither would the CDC.
Of course, as we know, EVERY American is
entitled to review EVERY government
agency's actions and deliberations, with
few exceptions - and Hooker eventually
ended up filing a federal lawsuit
against the CDC, and it is becoming VERY
clear that the CDC employees, like it or
not, are going to have to cough up all
of their internal memos on the subject.
I suspect, after that, that all hell is
going to break loose for, without doubt,
with what internal memos Hooker already
has gotten, it is already clear the in
an order of magnitude, EVERY one of
those CDC studies was faked with the
intent of covering up the facts about
how dangerous vaccines really are.
Let me repeat that - EVERY one of the
CDC studies showing the so-called safety
of mercury in vaccines has been
intentionally faked, so as to lead
the American Public, and every entity
worldwide that relies on the CDC for
information, to believe that mercury in
vaccines is safe - it is not.
Why did the CDC employees do that?
I will explain below. Keep
reading.
Why would
anyone knowingly cover up the dangers of
Thimerosal in vaccines?
Here is what I suspect: There are
THREE main reasons:

The CDC Has Known
All Along How Dangerous Vaccines Are -
And Has Covered It Up...
(Part One)
October 4th, 2011 - I've
been working on this story for months.
There are so many parts and paths to it,
and the information I have gathered is
so shocking, it is simply difficult to
write.
Maybe it is taking so long because I
don't want to be the messenger.
And, I am going to have to break this
story up into several parts.
Starting
Point...
A man named Brian Hooker PhD has
recently filed a lawsuit in Federal
Court in Washington DC against the
Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) demanding that the CDC
quit stalling on his Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) requests and
provide him with the public information
he is looking for. Hooker has been
making specific FOIA requests to the CDC
since March 11, 2005 on the subject of
the CDC's five "Thimerosal in
vaccines studies."
The CDC claims, falsely, that these
five studies prove the safety and
efficacy of Thimerosal.
Hooker had adequate reasons to be
suspicious of the CDC, and their
Thimerosal position. I will give
you those details in another article.
Hooker is a scientist and knows how
studies are supposed to be done.
When he examined those five CDC studies
he found a number of serious credibility
issues with every one of them. So
he began asking questions, and it wasn't
long before the CDC shut the door.
Illegally.
The CDC simply did not want a real
scientist asking them pointed questions.
Hooker wants the details, including all
communications between the parties
involved in the studies' communications
(letters, emails, etc.). He has
accumulated, over time, a massive amount
of information on the subject, and is
insistent on getting, and examining,
every last piece of paper, email,
whatever. The CDC is falling all
over itself trying to keep records away
from Brian Hooker.
Hooker has a thirteen year old son with
Autism. As usual, Brian Hooker's son was
just fine prior to being vaccinated.
I have seen what Brian Hooker has
already gathered and on the basis of
that alone I can easily reach the
conclusion, as you would, that:
The CDC Has Known All Along How
Dangerous Vaccines Are - and Has Covered
It Up...
What I am going to tell you about in
this article is that the
anti-vaccination movement is absolutely
right in their concerns about the
vaccine situation, and, in fact, many
parts of the movement would be far more
upset if they knew what I NOW KNOW.
The situation is far worse than you can
imagine.
So, let's begin...

All About THIMEROSAL - Why the
Controversy?
August 16th, 2011
- If you look to the right, in the column box,
you'll see that this is the eighth article in a
series that, for the most, is about Mark and David
Geier, and the team surrounding them's, effort to
remove, finally, Thimerosal (mercury), from
medicines - especially vaccines - and the attack on
them for their efforts.
As I sifted through the issues,
and consequently, the people involved in those
issues, I again and again asked the question "Why
doesn't the pharmaceutical industry just make
vaccines without Thimerosal?" I received a
lot of different answers in the form, primarily, of
hypothesis. No definite answers.
I suspect that the answers are
a combination of things we'll talk about as we go
along. But, for now, let me point out some
history, lest we forget about how mankind's
institutions actually function.
So-called "Medical Science" is really anything but.
I have to laugh when I see one
more group setting itself up as the protectors of
"Evidenced Based Medicine," or some other
equally impressive sounding nonsense cliché.
You only have to look as far, for instance, as the
wanna-be "Czar/God of US Health Care"
Stephen Barrett for an example of the
self-promoting nobodies, with no qualifications, who
proclaim that they, and they alone, are the
authority on proper health care. Frankly,
Barrett represents nothing new. There has
always been a "Barrett," in health care.
History shows us, quite
clearly, that the "authority" figures in each
medical science period, for the most part, were the
biggest of fools, the most pompous of idiots, and
the worst possible people to direct health care.
For some reason, consistently, scum rises to the
surface in our official health care systems.
So, why should we, here in
2011 think things should be any different? Why
should we think that, somehow, health care could, or
would, be dominated by thinking individuals who ask
the proper questions, and find solutions. Nah,
that's what we have bureaucracies like the FDA, and
the CDC, for. Society seems to demand that we
set up systems (agencies) to do things the dumbest
way possible. Of course, the FDA and the CDC
excel at that. Lawrence J. Peter said it best
with his Peter Principle- "in a hierarchy every
employee tends to rise to his level of
incompetence".
Peter also
said "Bureaucracy
defends the status quo long past the time when the
quo has lost its status."
With that - let's talk about Thimerosal...

Where'd the Money
Come From?
Grell/Barrett Pay
Off Polevoy - Polevoy Pays Off
Rosenthal...
July 31st, 2011
- Last week I wrote an article
titled "Polevoy
Thrashes Barrett and Grell in California
- Piles of Money Change Hands..."
From it,
Stephen Barrett,
sent me three emails this last week -
two of them were angry, and the third
sort of whimpered.
Barrett was denying
everything. I'll show you the
email exchange in a minute.
Stephen Barrett,hasn't
sent me an email since the year 2000,
eleven years ago. Barrett at the
time was VERY angry at me, and, frankly,
I had given him VERY good reason for
that anger. I mocked him in his
own group, and there was nothing he
could do about it - for I had been given
his insider mailing list - and I was
using it - sending personal copies of my
newsletter to his insider group.
Barrett was livid, and so were his
people.
Why were they all so
angry? Several reasons: (1)
They couldn't control the information
flow - which seems to be their mission
in life, and (2) the list, and
there was only 340 people on it,
gave me access to their IP addresses, so
I could trace them to their home
computers should someone, anyone, want
to legally
Summons them in a court case (Remember
when Hulda Clark filed a RICO Complaint
against all those people?), and
(3) My message to those quackpots,
who liked being scary to others, was
very clear - "I'm right here in your
den and you ain't much."
I was learning, even
then, that Barrett's support network
(his minions) simply were not much as
people - a pack of life's frustrated
losers, venting at the world.
This time, however, I
think, it isn't me invading his group
and telling them what's really going on
(they all monitor my newsletter, anyway
- and some of them even know how to look
up the meaning of the bigger words).
This time Barrett's anger seems to be
about the subject material described in
the title of THIS article.

New Court Document
Entered: Barrett on Knees,
Whimpering, Begging for Mercy...
June 26th, 2011 - There has been
a new court document filed this last
June 22, 2011, in the
Doctor's Data v Barrett, et al,
case. This one, totally
disjointed, unsigned by any of Barrett's
attorneys, makes me wonder.
Supposedly,
this document was an answer to a filing by
Doctor's Data, pointing out that there was a new
case, just decided, since the
Doctor's Data v Barrett, et al filing, that
has some bearing on the legal arguments in the
pending "Motion to Dismiss" decision.
But, you
certainly can't tell that from the so-called
"Response."
Disjointed as
it was, leaping from jagged thought to jagged
thought, it gave me the impression that Barrett
had found some homeless person, who used to be a
lawyer before he/she burned out their brain on
street drugs, handed them their fourth jug of
wine, and received, in return, this document.

What's Coming Up in the Geier
Case...
June 13th, 2011 - It is
surprising to the average American to
find out that "the system" we the people
put in place to monitor our interests, a
good part of the time, simply does not
work. It becomes corrupted by the
very people we entrusted.
Parents of Autistic children are the
latest group to find out this harsh
truth. They, without doubt, are
among the worst of the victims.
They join, for instance, families of
Cancer victims, who, themselves, thought
our American health care system had
value - until one of theirs met the US
Cancer Industry - and they watched their
loved one die horribly to be followed up
by a hospital's collection agents come
after the survivor's home to pay "the
co-pay."
An entire government bureaucracy has
been set up surrounding vaccines.
Whole State, Federal, and local agencies
are dependant on the myth that
vaccines have safety and efficacy.
Overwhelming evidence shows they have
neither.
In fact, the evidence is SO OVERWHELMING
that those same government agencies hide
that data. The Center for Disease
Control (CDC) blocks any and all access
to vaccine adverse event information.
They have to, I suspect, for if the
facts were known no one would vaccinate
their children - and the system
would come down overnight.

"Virtually all licensed vaccines in the United
States are produced by just a handful of
pharmaceutical companies: GlaxoSmithKline, Merck,
Novartis, Sanofi Pasteur, and Wyeth. These companies
account for 80 percent of the worldwide vaccine
market.1 With a limited number of
manufacturers and many recommended vaccines produced
by only a single company, vaccines are susceptible

Feds Spit On
Barrett's Claims About Austin's CARE
Clinics...
April 16th, 2011 -
Stephen Barrett
and his masters and minions are REALLY
IN BIG TROUBLE. They put together
a coordinated attack on
cutting-edge Autism testing and
treatment - and it failed - and now it
is coming back on them.
Proceeding on information provided by
Barrett and his sleazy cronies, in July
of 2009 Federal investigators, including
the FBI and the IRS, acting under a
Federal Search Warrant, raided CARE
Clinics in Austin, Texas seizing 250
boxes of records, including patient
records. The warrant claimed they
were looking for evidence of health
fraud and insurance fraud. The
clinic was using the following
Protocol.
Last Week, April 7th, 2011 to be exact,
a US Justice Department Attorney, Mark
Lane, notified the clinic's attorney,
Rick Jaffee, that the investigation was
over and that no charges would be
sought. He told them to come and
pick up those two hundred fifty (250)
boxes of records seized in that July
2009 raid.
This action represents a major defeat
for
Stephen Barrett,
and his network, who were clearly behind
the attack. In a minute I am going
to let you read all of Barrett's
submitted paperwork, but before you see
it I want to point out some things you
will see. More, I will point out
things you DO NOT see. But let's

"Assisting
Government" - The New Legal Argument for
Nutbags...
March 30th,
2011
- I simply cannot get over the fact that Stephen
Barrett actually found attorneys who would write
legal papers demanding that he, Barrett, be
declared the Czar/God of US health care and
Dismiss the
Doctor's Data v Barrett, et al,
case on the basis that Stephen Barrett, in his
total nutbag role, is "assisting government."
Wow!
Just think - a
whole new legal concept, that when employed,
would change the face of law as we know it.
I guess, under
that legal argument, it is too bad that Adolph
Hitler didn't know Stephen Barrett and his legal
team. For, if he did, way back then, just
think, instead of Adolph and Eva Braun
committing double suicide in their Berlin
bunker, they could have, simply, run for the
American lines, hands raised, screaming "we
were assisting government, we were assisting
government, we were assisting government, we
were assisting government..."
With this
novel "assisting government" legal
argument the conviction of serial killer,
rapist, necrophiliac, torturer, cannibal
Jeffrey Dahmer
might of been avoided. Dahmer could have
claimed he was, you know, helping the government
get rid of excess population, avoiding the cost
of public burial, etc...
Then there's
Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, Manuel Noriega,
Joseph Stalin, Dracula, Pol Pot, Caligula, Vlad
the Impaler, Hernando Cortes, Lucrecia Borgia,
John Wilkes Booth - all "clearly
misunderstood" if you insert the
"assisting government" legal argument into
their mix.
Even better,
jump on your favorite highway, jam your foot to
the floor, ignore those "School Zone" signs, and
see how much fun you can have holding that
speedometer needle at top speed while you are
"assisting government" to keep law
enforcement at maximum efficiency.
Gee whiz - why
didn't we, as Americans, just write this idea
into our Constitution? Where was George,
Tom, and Ben (Washington, Jefferson, and
Franklin)? (sarcasm intended).
It is not the first time Stephen Barrett has
come up with a total whack-job legal theory...
It is not even
the second or the third time.
In no
particular order I'll lay out some of Barrett's
previous legal theories - all of which, of
course, have been summarily rejected by the
Courts.

Stall, Stall,
Stall - Stephen Barrett in a Diarrhea
Panic? He Should Be, For the Worst
Is Yet To Come...
March 23rd, 2011 - It has
happened again. Stephen Barrett,
the man who would be the Czar/God of US
healthcare can't make another deadline
in the Doctor's Data v Barrett, et al,
Federal Court case, and has whimpered to
the Judge that he needs more time
(sniff, sniff).
I'm not even mildly surprised.
The Motion For Extension of
Time was filed by the Chicago attorneys.
Barrett's so-called lead attorney, Michael K. Botts,
seems to have disappeared, and if he's working at
all, it may be out of the trunk of his car - since
it was pointed out in the Plaintiff's Objection to
an Extension of Time, that Botts is NOT working at
the law office, anymore, that he claimed he worked
at, at the beginning of the case.
Once again, I am not even
mildly surprised. We are, of course, dealing
with quackbusters.

The 2011 Long
Beach Health Freedom Expo...
March
18th, 2011 -
The
Health Freedom
Expo
series is in its seventh year. It
seems like just yesterday that I went to
the first one over by the LA Airport.
Wendell Whitman, who I dearly miss, was
wandering around by the sign-up booth
worrying that not enough people would
come.
Did they come?
Oh yes. The following year the event was moved
to the much larger Long Beach Convention Center.
This year, it has moved to an even larger facility
yet, still at the Long Beach Convention Center -
March 25th, 26th, and 27th, 2011.
Wendell passed
away in 2008, and although his marvelous daughter
Julie Whitman Kline carries on very well, I miss his
presence, and his tart sense of humor. Being
of the same age group we could comment with same
references on the state of the world - and we did.
I spoke at those
early Expos, and went out of my way to recruit the
best speakers I could find. Hulda Clark found
a home there, speaking both on Saturday and Sunday,
and holding a lab on Sunday afternoons.
But, for me, it
was, and is, the camaraderie. The hallways,
byways, the exhibitor floor, and the doorways going
in and out of speaker's rooms become the place of
smiles where, if sometimes only for a moment, you
get to greet old friends and allies, from the years
gone by.

Shuts Down Quackbuster Discussion
Group...
February 23rd, 2011 -
Google, the
owner of the famous search engine, also
runs a series of Discussion Groups,
called "Google
Groups." For as
long as anyone can remember there has
been a Discussion Group called "misc.health.alternative."
But no longer. Yesterday, Google
shut it down, claiming the group
violated Google's
Terms Of Service.
It was never known who
started the group, nor who managed it.
But it was always clear that it was a
forum for bashing cutting edge health
care, for the most part by posters using
a fake name, and more often than not,
those posters viciously attacked, using
the most offensive language and
suggestions of odd sexual preferences.
Some of the internet's
nastiest posters got their start here.
"Orac
the Nipple Ripper,"
for instance, reveled here, belittling
his betters until, of course, his
identity was revealed, and the attack on
him was reversed. Avoiding the
sting, he ran for his own Blog, where he
could control the posted comments about
his writings.
But Google shut it down,
quite ceremoniously...

Trine "Two Shoes" Tsouderos - Barrett's
Tokyo Rose...
January 25th, 2011
- The
Desperation Level
in the Quackpot camp has reached an
all-time high. The
Doctor's Data v
Stephen Barrett
Federal Court case is so
devastating to them that they are,
without doubt, at a point similar to
where the Japanese High Command was when
the Americans were designing the attack
on their mainland towards the end of
Word War II.
The Japanese, at that
point, put together a very desperate
three-part strategy: (1)
Kamikaze airplane pilots who would
sacrifice their lives driving their
airplanes into American naval ships.
(2) An organized "fight to the
death" to defend the homeland, and (3)
a continuing propaganda effort to do two
things (a) convince the Japanese people
to keep fighting, and (b) convince the
American soldiers that millions of them
would die during an invasion attempt of
the mainland.
The last tactic (3)(b) was
conducted through Japanese radio
broadcasts out of Tokyo, and, as in
broadcasts conducted throughout the war,
centered around an English speaking
female figure known to US servicemen as
"Tokyo
Rose."

Captain Screwloose
(Stephen Barrett) Runs For Cover...
December 14th, 2010
- I predicted this would happen months
ago in the
Doctor's Data v
Stephen Barrett
Federal Court case.
On August 25th, 2010, in
an article called
"Has
Stephen Barrett's "Puppet Master"
Appeared?
"
I said:
"So, what do I think will happen now?
Instead of a "legal" Defense, they're
going to use a two part strategy:
(1)
Delay, delay, delay - for the last thing
the
quackbusters
want is to have Barrett (a) examined by
a Psychiatrist, (b) forced into a
two or three day video taped Deposition.
(c) or to have the NCAHF board
members Deposed, (d) or to have
Paul Kurtz,
Terry Polevoy,
Orac the Nipple
Ripper,
Steve Novella,
William London,
or
Paul Lee
Deposed."
Any of the above would
create a disaster for them.
Why?
Once the Response message is on file then the public
relations campaign to destroy Doctor's Data
Laboratory, and the Doctors that have used their
services, will begin in earnest. Barrett, and
his Puppet Master, will call on all of their
resources, all at once, in an effort to win."
Well, I told you so...

Stephen Barrett's
attorneys filed a Motion to DELAY
imposition of Discovery requirements for
at least twenty one more days while they

The Doctor's Data
v. Barrett, et al, case - a Summary to
Date...
November 19th, 2010 -
The
Doctor's Data v Stephen Barrett
Federal Court is, by far, the most
important court case involving health
care in North America, for, for the
first major time the group that
conspires to damage emerging health care
systems in favor of the status quo is,
itself, under major attack, and will
likely be destroyed by this action.
And, it is about time.
Federal Court cases tend to drag on.
So that we don't lose track of what's
happening in the
Doctor's Data v Stephen Barrett
Federal Court case I'm going to
summarize the case for you to date, by
outlining what has already happened.
Then I'll give you an idea of what is
going to happen next.
In short, we are all waiting for the
Discovery Schedules due December 6th,
2010. With that we'll be able to
predict what will happen, and when it
will happen. Discovery will be the
key to breaking up the quackbuster
conspiracy and impoverishing its
members. With luck, enough
information may be gathered to convert
this case into a full-blown RICO action
with all of the likely consequences.

Barrett Responds
to Doctor's Data v Barrett Lawsuit...
October 10th, 2010 - Warning -
sarcasm present.
Finally - a
Response from
Stephen
Barrett
et al, in the
Doctor's
Data v Barrett
Federal lawsuit. In essence,
Barrett's legal team took forty-four
(44) pages to say "We deny
everything. So there."
And, it took Barrett one hundred and
seventeen (117) days to come up with that answer.
This from a guy who, Court documents show, was
commenting on cases filed against his victims
up to one day (-1) before the actual filing.
Strangely, the Response was
filed, not by Barrett's so-called "lead" attorney
Micheal K. Botts but by the local counsel Peter M.
Katsaros, a senior partner at Golan and Christie in
Chicago. Hmmm?
It looks like Barrett's legal
bills are piling up.

Why the Doctor's
Data v Barrett case is important to
North America...
September 22nd, 2010 - The US
health care system is in tatters.
It is total crap, run by crooks and
idiots, who on their best day, either by
design, or stupidity,
cannot find any solutions.
The "War on Cancer" has been running
almost 39 years - and we are not even
close to official answers - because the
"war" is intentionally designed to fail.
The US health care system, itself, is
the
number one killer of Americans.
Health problems that could, and should,
have been solved years ago, like autism,
diabetes and heart disease tear our
society apart.
Why is this happening? Because the
system generates way too much money the
way it is. No one within the
system wants change. And, "the
system" has built in defense mechanisms
designed to kill threats to itself.
One of those built in mechanisms is the
"quackbuster"
operation, a cleverly designed process
whereby virtually any treatment, lab
test, device, author, practitioner, or
idea that is outside of the current US
health care "status quo" gets
systematically rolled in excrement, so
to speak, and publicly held up to
ridicule by a mostly hidden group.
The flagship for this operation is
Quackwatch.com and its aging, bitter,
loser,
Stephen Barrett.
But there is much more to the "quackbuster"
operation than Barrett. Why do I
say that? Because, although
Barrett intentionally publicly paints
his enemies with sewage, no one would
care what this rabid old fart has to say
if his material never floated to the top
of search engines. But it does -
and it is not by accident.
In short, Obamacare, nor any other
current health care solution, on the
table, proposed by the "thinkers,"
is going to help North Americans for one
simple reason. The proposed
solutions fail, at first, to identify
the real problems of North American
Health Care - and that problem is that
we are on a maintenance of symptom
system rather than a cure system.
In short, Cancer, Heart Disease,
Diabetes, Stroke, Autism, Cerebral
Palsy, and more can all be beaten right
now with existing science and technology
- but all of that science and technology
is blocked, and its proponents
intentionally smeared in the public's
eye.

"Dentists in North Carolina, acting through the
instrument of the North Carolina Board of Dental
Examiners (“Dental Board”), are colluding to exclude
non-dentists from competing with dentists in the
provision of teeth whitening services. The actions of
the Dental Board prevent and deter non-dentists from

Will the San Diego Federal Judge Put
Stephen Barrett in Jail?...
June 7th, 2010

Oh my, the
"Barrett Settlement"
story, in San Diego, is getting even better. It seems that now the Federal
judge in the case has assigned a Federal Magistrate Judge, Judge Cathy Ann
Bencivengo "to retain jurisdiction for settlement purposes."
Wow - this could could get interesting.
VERY interesting. I'll explain.
I have a copy, right here on my desk, of the
settlement statement wording agreed to, and ORDERED by the Court, and so far, I
don't see that wording on Barrett's website, nor do I see his minions mouthing
those COURT ORDERED words. Apparently they must all be in shock and cannot
bring themselves to comply with the Court Order.
And NO, I'm not going to tell you what those
COURT ORDERED words are. I'm going to wait and see what happens.
Frankly, I hope Barrett decides to defy the Federal Magistrate Judge. Then
Negrete can file for an Order of Contempt. Being called on the carpet in
front of a Federal Judge could have serious consequences for Barrett.
Contempt, in a Federal court, is taken very

I'm telling people how to sue Wikipedians in the Courts to stop them from
victimizing others. I've got the formula to beat them (and I'll tell what
that is further into the article) - and Mike Godwin doesn't want me to talk
about it. He says:
"Thank you providing evidence of intent to engage in strategic litigation aimed
at shutting down Wikipedia."
Yup, he really

What Obama's Health Care Reform is Missing...
November 12th, 2009
- A lot of very smart people I know think that the so-called Swine Flu
"pandemic" is a simple marketing ploy created by the foreign owned
pharmaceutical industry to sell, nearly useless, and untested, dangerous
vaccines to an unsuspecting US public. In fact, it looks as though about
50% of the people in North America think so.
I don't disagree with that - but I think there
is more to this. I think this "pandemic" campaign is a
not-so-subtle threat to President Barack Obama and the US Congress... I
think that Big Pharma organized this "pandemic" to give a clear message
to the US government about how much power they actually have and how they will
use it if Obama and the Congress try to rein in the pharmaceutical industry -
which we all know, is primarily, but not solely, responsible for the horrendous
costs, and problems, of US health care. In short, their message is simple:
"We, Big Pharma, own the US TV News Media. We tell news broadcasters
exactly what they are going to say about healthcare. They play the footage
that WE provide for them about healthcare issues, and nothing else. If you
try to rein in our industry we will destroy you using this tool."
In short, we are not going to be able to fix
the US healthcare system until we take back control of our own Television news
hours.

Truehope "Raids"
Health Canada...
November 3rd,
2009 - Yesterday, a Canadian company Truehope, the makers of EMPowerplus,
the first supplement product in North America to be protected against attack by
a government agency by the Court System, started their second round of assault
against Health Canada.
Let's wish them
well...
In their first
round they slapped Health Canada around a Canadian Courtroom, getting the Court
to Order Health Canada to leave them alone. The Court ruled, simply, that
EMPowerplus, a supplement product that reverses Bi-Polar issues, did not require
approval from Health Canada, and that it was "a necessity" to the people
that used it. Health Canada employees had stopped entry of the product
into Canada (it is manufactured in the US) causing several people to die, and
many others to suffer, without it. No Health Canada employees, however,
were ever criminally indicted for those deaths.
Yup - they are
attacking Health Canada one more time - and if they win this assault they will
have completely removed Health Canada's teeth, so to speak. Health Canada
might as well, after this, lock the doors and send the employees home.

Barrett Lawsuit Against Tim
Bolen Dies of Old Age in California Court...
September 23rd, 2009
-
I've always said that
Stephen Barrett, as a man, just wasn't much. Recently he proved my point
- in spades. How?
On November
3rd, of the year 2000, this rancid old fart, and a couple of his equally
stunted cronies, filed a lawsuit against me, and others, sort of claiming
that I,
Tim Bolen, had been hired by world acclaimed author, and health
humanitarian,
Hulda Regehr Clark PhD to defame him, and that others conspired to help
me.
Don't laugh
too long. They actually wrote this nonsense down.
The trouble is
that, of course,
Stephen Barrett,
et al, had no case against any of us, so they NEVER tried to bring it into
the Courtroom, offering, as it were ,just about every lame excuse they could
find to delay, delay, delay. All the while, of course, Barrett claimed
on his quackwatch website, and Polevoy on his healthwatcher site, that they
were, in fact, suing me, blah, blah, blah.
What I found
amusing, right from the start, was when we demanded of Barrett and Grell
that they produce documents where any of the Defendants actually made
statements in the accusation reflected below - they could not provide any.
None.
So, after
eight years and four months, on March 23, 2009, the latest Judge in the
case, Stephen Dombrink, Judge of the Superior Court, Alameda County, ordered

Court Demands Quackbusters
Pay $491k - Two Pay, One Doesn't ...
February 20th, 2008 -
Way back in the year 2001, when Quackbusters Stephen Barrett, Terry Polevoy, and
their attorney Christopher Grell decided to file their cockamamie lawsuit
(Barrett v. Clark) in Oakland, CA Superior Court, they brandished it on the
internet as their crowning activity. Little did they know, then, that it
would NOT be just one more stumbling, bumbling, fumbling, act, typical of their
machinations.
In fact, this lawsuit would lead
them to laughable internet infamy, drawing the wrath of virtually every internet
giant, worldwide, in opposition to their goals. Nor did they deduce,
then, that filing a false claim in California, called a SLAPP suit, would gain
them the wrath of the California legislature. But it did.
Now, of course, after almost seven
years of litigation, they do know, and they found out the hard way. Now,
of course, as anyone knows, the piper needs to be paid, and the bill has been
presented in the form of a decision by the Oakland Superior Court ordering the
threesome to pay $434,000 US more than the $55,700 already collected, to just
one of the original Defendants, Ilena Rosenthal, and her attorneys.

(2) Is Barrett moving his quackwatch.com, etc., servers out of reach of the
US Court System after the barrage of newly files legal actions naming

servers out of US Court Jurisdiction to avoid answering legal demands for

California Legislature Votes to Kill the Health
Insurance Industry....
November 26th, 2006 - There is a
war on in the United States over health care. On one side is the
"status quo" represented by the medical monopoly, the pharmaceutical
industry, the health insurance carriers, and an entrenched bureauracracy
wholly beholden to, and run by, the people they are supposed to regulate.
The US system, according to the World Health
Organization, is rated 72nd in quality, but number one in cost, worldwide.
The "Death by Medicine" study shows that the system itself is the
number one killer of Americans. The number two and three killers of
Americans are heart disease and cancer, diseases which those of us outside
of the "status quo" know are curable, and preventable - but those
cures and preventive treatments are being suppressed by agents of the
"status quo."

There is no question that the

ZERO hope, for US patients,

that believes the absolute
drivel promoted by the American
Cancer Society (ACS), a group
that has come, not to represent
"the fight against cancer,"
but more as a "spokesperson
for the rip-off cancer
industry."
A few months ago the American
Cancer Society publicly whined
that they had done a survey and
found out that about half of the
American public believed that
there really were cancer cures
available and that those cures
were being suppressed by the
industry because the non-cures
were so profitable...
Well, I hate to be rude here,
but, in street language, I'd
have to say about this "no
shit, Sherlock.."
What surprises me is that only
about half of the US has figured
that out.

Laurie Pruett, over ten years ago, to
assist the school in its teaching of the
practice of Dentistry. What they
"forgot" to tell her, according to court
records, is that she would be handling
mercury amalgam fillings, and those mercury
fillings were toxic, giving of constant
noxious gases, which would, eventually,
result in consequential health problems.
Ten years later, of course, Laurie Pruett
began to show the symptoms of mercury
poisoning. It wasn't long before those
symptoms affected her work, and her daily
routine. When Pruett sought medical
attention she was amazed to find out what
competent Medical Doctors knew all along -
that working in a
"mercury" environment was hazardous
to your health - and that adequate
safeguards needed to be in place - facts
that Pierce College of Dentistry
pooh-poohed, again and again, according to
court records.
Pruett,
loyal to her employer, went to her
superiors, and explained the situation.
Pierce College responded by firing her.

US Supreme Court May Fatally
Bludgeon Hospitals...
December 23rd, 2005 - The United States Medical
Care system, rated a poor seventy-second (72nd),
worldwide, has been teetering on the brink of
destruction for years now. Greed, malfeasance,
misfeasance, grand corruption, murderous intent, and a
self-centeredness unequaled in history has led the
system to the abyss.
Give me a hand - let's push it
the last few inches over the edge...
That same "United

category - IT IS THE NUMBER ONE KILLER OF AMERICANS.
Above heart disease, cancer and stroke, the medical
system, itself, is responsible for the unnecessary

US State
Department Holds Another (cough) "Mercury"
Meeting...
May 9th, 2012
-
I got a phone call from Lisa Sykes over
the weekend. She, and Paul G.
King, on behalf of their organization
CoMed, had attended the US State
Department's meeting on Friday May 4th,
2012 in Washington DC, to establish the
official US position on mercury amalgams
(deadly dental fillings), and the use of
Thimerosal (49% mercury) as a
preservative in vaccines.
According to Lisa, the vaccine
conglomerate was there in force to
speak, and not-so-quiet desperation was
in their words - and present on their
faces.
Why? Because the
United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP)
has agendized the removal of mercury
amalgams and mercury from vaccines, and
the vaccine industry wants the US State
Department to act as their champion at
the UN conference, keeping mercury in
vaccines in place at all costs.
The
meeting lasted two-and-a-half hours with
the
mercury amalgam argument taking up
most of the time - the first two hours.
Then the vaccine conglomerate began
their comments - and all the big boys
were there: Novartis, etc. Then
there was the so-called vaccine
supporters (all, of course, funded by
the vaccine big money boys): GAVI, PATH,
and the American Association of
Pediatrics (AAP). And, they were
there with a unified message, one that
sounded like it was read from the same
cue card.
Their message: (1)
Thimerosal is safe, effective, and has
been extensively tested, and (2)
Removing Thimerosal from vaccines would
make vaccines too expensive for third
world countries, because, they claim,
without deadly mercury in the mix,
vaccines would have to be refrigerated -
and that is unaffordable in the Third
World.
If they were looking right at you when
they said that stuff, you probably
couldn't see their noses growing.
Thankfully,
Paul G King PhD (photo at the right)
was there, and Paul, simply stated out
loud, "That is a lie. You are
lying" each and every time.
Everyone in the room heard THAT.

Could the Doctor's Data "Protective Order"
Actually Shut Down Barrett, Quackwatch, and the
Skeptics?
April 21st, 2012
-
Yup... Most definitely.
Two days ago
I wrote about the "Protective Order"
sought by Doctor's Data against Barrett,
his minions, and hangers-on due to their
Witness Intimidation activities in the
Doctor's Data v Barrett, et al,
federal court case.. There were
some questions forwarded to me about
whether or not the "Protective Order"
would be strong enough to protect
Barrett's victims and potential victims
from Barrett and his co-conspirators.
How so, you ask, since a
good part of the sleazy
skeptic (pseudo-skeptic)
operation is intentionally
based outside the US, so as
to make it hard for the
average victim to sue them,
or to enforce court
judgments?
That question is much
easier to answer than you
would think. And, the
answer is short - and to the
point - the world-wide web
is based in the US.
Hence, court jurisdiction is
in the US.
Example -
suppose one of the more well
known pseudo-skeptics, Peter
Bowditch, decides to ignore
the "Protective Order," and
attack witnesses on his
Australian based websites.
Easy answer - he'd get one
Order signed by the court,
and a time limit to comply,
whether he is in Australia
or not. After he
refuses to obey, or misses
the time limit, Doctor's
Data simply informs the
judge of that fact, and
hands the Judge a new Motion
- one, this time, ordering
the Internet
Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers (ICANN),
based in Marina Del Rey, CA,
to seize Bowditch's internet
domains - and turn them off.
Poof - in a microsecond,
Bowditch is gone from the
internet, a bad memory, like
a fart in an elevator.

Fact: The
Texas Jury Is Going To Hate Brian
Deer...
And that
would spell THE END for the British
Medical Journal...
March 20th, 2012 -
Something is very clear to me.
It's this: Brian Deer is coming
apart under pressure.
Deer was the instrument used against
Andrew Wakefield over the MMR vaccine
issue. With, or without, his consent he
has become, and will continue to act, as
the instrument to reverse that attack.
He has no choice in the matter.
Here's why:
(1) Brian Deer has lost his
media voice. He is no longer being
published in the Mainstream media.
It has been three years since he was
last published in the London Times, or
anywhere. Simply spoken - he has
been dropped. He caused this to
happen. Below, I will show you how
he did that to himself.
(2) Deer's association with the
skeptics was a big mistake.
He's finding out that the old adage "If
you lie down with dogs you get fleas..."
applies.
(3) It is a simple fact that
Brian Deer, under pressure, does not do
well. I will show you what I
mean, very graphically, below, with a
video of Deer being confronted.
Deer is about to face the confrontation
of his life - in a Texas courtroom, and
during all the "discovery" leading up to
it. I imagine that Wakefield's
attorneys are eagerly anticipating those
opportunities.

Quackpot "bobbie baratz" RIPPED APART,
ONCE AGAIN, This Time in a Texas Hearing...
February 26th, 2011
- For years Stephen Barrett MD and
Robert S. Baratz MD, DDS, PhD have been practically joined at the
hip attacking cutting-edge health care practitioners
and paradigms. Barrett with his sleazy website
combinations, and Baratz, alleging himself to be the
president of the National Council Against Health
Fraud (NCAHF), formed a one-two punch across America.
They did it virtually everywhere.
Usually, in a health
professional State licensing hearing situation,
Barrett files a Complaint against a practitioner
victim, and recommends himself, Baratz, or both, as
an expert witness. If they are
successful in getting a Formal Complaint filed,
either or both put that information on their
websites, then they seek out local attorneys, near
their practitioner victims, to arrange lawsuits
against that practitioner, offering, once again,
their "expert" services.
Sometimes, as in a group of
lawsuits filed supposedly by the NCAHF in
California, they filed suit using the NCAHF name,
and made themselves paid "expert" witnesses.
However, as it turns out, some,
if not most, States could call this activity,
Barratry, a criminal act. Texas calls it a
Felony of the Third Degree. California lists
it as a Misdemeanor. Illinois, on the other
hand, calls it a Petty Offense.
So, it was with great joy that
I got invited to assist Texas attorney
Ronald Armstrong in a hearing before the Texas
Medical Board cross-examining the testimony of Robert
S. Baratz MD, DDS, PhD (bobbie baratz) on Monday,
February 13th, 2012. Baratz was there as a
so-called "expert witness" testifying against Autism
doctor Jesus Caquias MD, formerly of Care Clinics in
Austin. Five Complaints to the Texas Medical
Board (that we know of) had been filed against
Caquias by Stephen Barrett. Armstrong was VERY
clear in his view of what was happening - and
intended to pursue it.
"Well, well..." I said to my
self. "This is going to be fun..."

(Brian) Deer in
the Headlights...
January 10th, 2012
- It's Deer Hunting season in Texas.
No, I'm not talking about
hunting White Tail Deer along the Milk
River in West Texas, or Mule Deer
anywhere in the Texas Panhandle.
So, put that key to the gun cabinet back
in your pocket.
White Tail and Mule are
NOT the deer being hunted in Texas in
THIS story. Nobody is going to be
wearing camouflage, and we aren't going
to have to hike eleven miles before
dawn, carrying a sixty pound pack.
Today we are after the
imported Deer variety, the Brian.
We'll be doing our
hunting in Downtown Austin, Texas, the
State Capitol. Specifically, we'll
be centering our story in the Travis
County Courthouse (pictured on the
right), where, unless you are a member
of law enforcement, guns are pretty much
prohibited.
But, make no mistake,
Brian Deer, here, is under the gun.
The hero of our story
today is a guy I haven't yet met - Andy
Wakefield, who just happened to be a
resident of Austin, Texas on January
5th, 2011, the day that Brian Deer's
article "Secrets of the MMR Scare:
How the Case Against the MMR Vaccine Was
Fixed" was published in the British
Medical Journal (BMJ). It was
accompanied by two editorials by Fiona
Godlee, Editor of the BMJ titled
"Wakefield's Article Linking MMR Vaccine
and Autism Was Fraudulent," and
"Editor's
Choice: The Fraud Behind the MMR
Scare."
Yup, I'm talking, here,
about the Andy Wakefield, from Britain,
famous for suggesting that there might
be a connection between the MMR vaccine
and Autism, and suggested, to the horror
of the vaccine industry, that further
study was warranted. That same
Andy Wakefield we see, officially, as
Andrew J. Wakefield MB., BS., BRCS,
formerly of Great Britain - but now a
Texan.
It looks as though our
Andy found a law firm in Austin, Texas
called
DiNovo Price Ellwanger & Hardy LLP

The CDC Has Known All Along How Dangerous Vaccines
Are - And Has Covered It Up... (Part Five)
December 18th, 2011 -
Yes, you read that subtitle above correctly.
We the people of
the United States formed a government "of the
people, by the people, and for the people" a
long time ago, and we fully intend that government
to stay within our control.
There are those
within our society who have every intent to abuse
our systems for their own benefit. Often,
history shows, those abusers work within that
system, as employees, advisors, consultants,
whatever.
That is not
news, nor is it a new situation that we the people
have to suddenly deal with. Our founding
fathers (and mothers) understood the foibles of
humanity and built into our political arena a system
of checks and balances. That system is
reflected at every level in our government; federal,
state and local.
In the federal
system, for instance, the founders divided our
government into three distinct entities each
watching the other two, insuring that none become
despotic. Those divisions; the Executive, the
Congress, and the Judicial, just by their design,
perform that function.
More, there are
redundant systems - meaning that there is usually
more than one way to keep one of our created
government units in line, performing the functions
we intended for them in the way we intended.
The Maryland Board of Physicians, for instance, has
found out the hard way, recently, that those systems
exist and can be readily activated to put a ring in
their nose, so to speak, and lead them back onto the
path of righteousness. Click
here,
and here,
to read the two articles (so far) about this
situation.
In the first
four articles titled "The CDC has know all
along how dangerous vaccines are - and has covered
it up..." I laid out, for the readers, the
story parts: (1) the Starting Point, (2)
the Lawsuit Against the CDC, (3) What the
Government Agencies Actually Knew, and (4) and
What The "Vaccine Construction" Is and Does.
In this fifth
article of this series I will explain where this is
all going, what is really happening here - the use
of the Judiciary branch of the US Government to rein
in the activities of an out-of-control federal
agency - the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) - a Division of the US Department
of Health and Human Services.
And something
more. Much more. It is time for criminal
indictment.
The search for
documents, in this court case, is uncovering a
pattern of criminal activity. Whoever is
running, making the decisions to withhold documents
at CDC, knows where all this is going. I am
certain that within the walls of the CDC, right this
minute, certain CDC employees - past and present,
contractors, and consultants, etc. are quietly being
told to personally "lawyer-up," and familiarize
themselves on how to make claim to the Fifth
Amendment provisions of the US Constitution (taking
the Fifth).

Want to Keep Your
Baby Healthy? Stay Away From Pediatricians...
November 21st,
2011
- I'll be blunt. Pediatricians,
these days, are con-men - only here to
push more-and-more dangerous,
useless(?), vaccines on an unsuspecting
public. They have absolutely no
other function. They are, in fact,
a whole section of US medicine that we
could well do without. It didn't
used to be that way - but it is now.
Supposedly, Pediatricians
developed as child specialists - and, to
hear their representatives talk, they
are the one-stop shop for all health
issues pertaining to children.
Bull...
Their organization,
calling itself the American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP), is totally, and
virtually ONLY focused on vaccine
promotion. In 2010 the AAP took in
$110,079,859.00 in total income.
Their thirty-three (33) sub-chapters,
together, took in a total of
$16,109,174.00. All together they
amassed $126,189,033.00 in total 2010
income. More on this in a minute.
But, go ahead and guess
where all that money came from...
Just below I am going to
let you read
a clip from a
parenting magazine.
It is, supposedly, a Pediatrician
talking about their patient days.
It sounds really good - like the
pediatrician is really concerned about
your child's welfare. You need to
read all the way down to the very last
sentence (I put it in bold) before you
get to what is really happening here.

The
CDC Has Known All Along How Dangerous
Vaccines Are -
And Has Covered It Up... (Part Four)
November 5th, 2011 -
Let me start with this, and put
everything into perspective.
A retired attorney friend of mine, one
who I discuss legal, and other, issues
with, pointed out something terribly
important one day. We were
talking about the vaccine issues.
He said "Children are a nation's
greatest asset."
It was a simple statement, but it
stopped me cold with the realization
that, in those simple words, Bill had
gotten to the meat of the discussion -
the one thing that, for whatever reason
during what is called "the vaccine
discussion," seems to be left out.
When, in fact, it is both the guiding,
and the deciding, argument.
So, let's say it again:
"Children are a nation's greatest
asset."
In the vaccine debate no other argument
prevails - not "the cost of vaccines,
nor how much good they supposedly do,
certainly not how many people are
employed in the Vaccine Construction,
for sure not how much money they make
for the drug industry, not how much it
might cost to remove mercury as a
preservative, nor how the industry might
be destroyed if they had to maintain
their own legal liability. None of
that..."
There is only one argument that is
important: "Children are a
nation's greatest asset."

The CDC Has Known All Along How Dangerous Vaccines
Are - And Has Covered It Up... (Part Two)
October 13th, 2011 - In
late 2004 Biochemist Scientist Brian
Hooker PhD had had enough. He'd
been looking, carefully, through the US
Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC)'s so-called "Evidence"
that Thimerosal was "Safe and Effective"
as a preservative in vaccines.
Having read all of the then available
CDC studies making that claim, he, as a
PhD Scientist, couldn't help but shake
his head "NO." To him, none of the
purported proof was anywhere near being
scientifically adequate. Far from
it.
So, like any math teacher would do to a
student he began to communicate to the
CDC his questions. In
essence he was saying "Show me your
work. Show me how you came up with
these answers" - a reasonable
question series among scientists,
teachers and students, and frankly, the
population of Planet Earth.
What was CDC's response? STONEWALL
- a six year knock-down, drag-out
brawl to get that information.
Brian Hooker would not let up.
Neither would the CDC.
At the CDC, the smell of corruption
couldn't be masked, anymore, with air
freshener. CDC employees,
backed by CDC attorneys, dug in deeper,
surrounding themselves with a
wall-of-silence, removing themselves
from public scrutiny. It was,
without doubt, the CDC that President
Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder
had in mind when Holder issued a 59 page
Legal Opinion ( here)
just on this subject. It started
out by saying:
"When administering the FOIA, it is
important to first note that the
President and Attorney General have
issued memoranda to all agencies
emphasizing that the FOIA reflects a
"profound national commitment to
ensuring an open Government" and
directing agencies to "adopt a
presumption in favor of disclosure."
Obama and Holder were, no doubt,
provoked by an earlier Congressional
Report titled " CDC
Off Center,"
which is summarized, below, with an
opening statement:
"A review of how an agency tasked with
fighting and preventing disease has
spent hundreds of millions of tax
dollars for failed prevention efforts,
international junkets, and lavish
facilities, but cannot demonstrate it is
controlling disease."
So, what was provoking Brian Hooker?
What, specifically, were his concerns?
I asked Hooker about this situation.
I asked him to explain to me in layman's
terms, what was wrong, for example, with
the very first study, known as "The
Danish Study?"
Hooker didn't hesitate. He even
wrote it down for me. Then he
carefully took me through the scientific
jargon representing the scientific
method (considering my college
days were forty to fifty years ago).
Here is what he said about the study
known as:
“Thimerosal and the occurrence of
autism: negative ecological evidence
from Danish population-based data” by
Kreesten Madsen et al. 2003, published
in the Journal of Pediatrics.

"What's-His-Name,"
Top Skeptic,- Still in the Clink...
September 23rd, 2011
- Start smiling. The "skeptic"
operation is in deep trouble - and they
did it to themselves.
I have been
pointing out, for some time, how the so-called
"skeptics" (pseudo-skeptics) prefer anonymity,
lashing out nastily from a hidden position, usually
using a fake internet identity.
I suspected,
quite correctly, as it turns out, now, that there
were good reasons for that secrecy. I also
knew, from reading their recruiting literature, that
the central unit sought out society's flotsam,
ne'er-do-wells, weirdos, and rejects.
But last week
all that was topped after I was sent two articles
from the Broward County Sun Sentinel - one
called
"Celebrated South
Florida artist Jose Alvarez accused of identity
theft"
and the other
'"The Amazing' Randi, renowned
supernatural investigator, immersed in mystery about
partner's alleged ID theft."
What those
articles were telling me was that I had
miscalculated. I had thought that all those
creepy "skeptics" were using fake internet names to
cover up their real identities. But, that's
not true. At least some of them (and maybe ALL
of them?), according to official reports, were using
"fake" names in real life.

The Federal "Data
Quality Act" Is Our Friend...
August 27th,
2011
- It is no secret that I constantly sell
the idea that an alliance needs to be
made between the North American Health
Freedom Movement and the Autism
communities. I keep pointing out
that each community, having operated on
their own for years, have developed
strategies and tactics that serve them
well.
My best argument, made to
the Health Freedom Movement, FOR that
alliance is simple: I point out
that the Autism community is the best
public example of what happens when a
social, in this case medical, system
goes bad, and stays bad - an issue we
fight every day in Health Freedom.
I also point out that the Autism
community is LARGE and ANGRY. Then
too, Autism seems to be an affliction of
the Upper Middle Class - people who do
not take "no" for an answer - and they
generally are of the opinion that the
government works for them - not the
other way around. Just like us.
My best argument to the
Autism community, FOR that alliance is
that the Health Freedom movement has
separate components that work together,
we have a very good track record, we are
experienced, and we are used to dealing
with the human filth that inhabits the
formal opposition. We know when to
put on a biohazard suit, and go into the
fray with fumigation equipment, so to
speak.
In middle March of 2007 I
got a call from Anne Dachel from Age of
Autism (AOA) asking me why I hadn't done
any articles on the Autism problem.
My answer was direct: Because,
Anne, I said,
"I don't know anything
about the issue."
What evolved from that
was a collaboration between
Kenneth Stoller, MD, FAAP and Anne
Dachel to write two superb articles for
my newsletter:
"Throwing
children into oncoming traffic: The
truth about Autism"
and
"The
Mushroom Cloud that Caused Autism".
You can read those by
clicking on the titles.
Coming
to the point...
So, when Ken Stoller MD
calls me at home at 8:30 PM at night to
talk to me about my latest Autism
article
"Vaccines

I take the call. Ken is a fountain
of information.
Ken's comments on my
article centered around what's called
the "Data
Quality Act" and its prospective use
in the situation I described surrounding
the State Department's issuance of an
unsigned, un-accounted-for, document to
the United Nations Environmental
Programme (UNEP) on mercury claiming

The United Nations
Invites Mark Geier MD to Lead the Charge Against the
Vaccine Industry...
August 8th, 2011
- Despite a massive campaign the vaccine
industry is floundering, very likely
near death - and that's a very good
thing. It may well be that, almost
singlehandedly, Mark and David Geier,
father and son, will provide the
mechanism facilitating it's demise.
What's that mechanism?
The Geiers, and a very large team
surrounding them, have focused on the
vaccine industry's continued use of
Thimerosal (deadly mercury) as a
so-called preservative in vaccines.
It has become obvious to parents of
millions of American children that
vaccines are causing neurological damage
(ADD-ADHD, Asthma, Autism, and more),
to their young, and that the vaccine
industry, working with its public
counterparts: the Center for
Disease Control (CDC), State Public
Health units, and schools, is totally,
and completely, responsible for this
massive damage. The Geiers say
that Thimerosal is the primary culprit.
More, the vaccine
industry, part of the also floundering
Big Pharma complex, has used its
gargantuan financial war chest to
outright buy the US Congress, by
lobbying to get a law passed removing
all vaccine producers from any legal
liability.
Wait a minute?
Didn't the vaccine industry claim that
they took Thimerosal out of childhood
vaccines? Yes, they claimed that -
and they lied. They actually did
just a show removal, taking Thimerosal
out of only 3.48 percent of those
vaccines - and all of that was in the
US, attempting to mollify, and mislead,
American parents of damaged children.
About 104 million childhood vaccines are
administered, worldwide, each year, and
only about 4 million have a preservative
other than Thimerosal.
More, despite massive
cover-up by the vaccine industry, it is
becoming obvious throughout the world
that the childhood vaccine schedule is
the worst disaster foisted on the human
population in Earth's history.
After the US government attacked Iraq,
and Afghanistan, we forced, at gunpoint,
Iraqi and Afghan children into the
vaccine program - and the results were
predictable. All of those vaccines
were jam-packed with mercury.
Think of this - ONE
vaccine contains 25 times the amount of
mercury allowable in the average human
body. The childhood vaccine
schedule requires 38 vaccines during the
first year of life - 950 times the safe
levels for mercury in the average human
body - and these are children - much
smaller than the "average" human.
But, the Geiers, being
scientists, looked at the vaccine
problem as a whole. They
continuously asked the questions "Why,
knowing how dangerous mercury is, does
the vaccine industry use Thimerosal at
all? Why don't the government
agencies responsible to protect our
population, who have to know how
dangerous this situation is, do
something about this issue?" In the US
the Geiers have been under constant
attack for even asking these questions -
a situation that, for instance, parents
of Autistic children are accustomed to
also.

have changed hands in the two cases.
HUGE piles...
In short - There is a
court case in California (Barrett v
Clark) where the quackpot menace was so
badly defeated, so soundly embarrassed,
so stomped on, that recently (insert
heavy laughter here) they secretly
settled out the case paying an
undisclosed huge amount of money to
Ilena Rosenthal. Rosenthal, and her
attorneys, have been pursuing the
threesome for money owed Rosenthal -
close, by now, to $500,000 US.
What it's all about can be found
here.
But to be able
to get to the point where they could pour that owed
money into Rosenthal's bank accounts, they first had
to enter into a secret settlement in a US/Canada
cross-border lawsuit
"Quackbusters Sue Each other - All is Not Well in
Scumville...") involving wanna-be
"Czar/God of US Health
Care"
Stephen
Barrett, his personal attorney
Christopher Grell, and the almost always-a-loser
Terry Polevoy, Canada's bargain-basement copy of
Barrett.
That case
"Quackbusters Sue Each other - All is Not Well in
Scumville..." gave us all a glimpse of the
internal rot of the quackbuster operation.
The quackbusters
are all about misinformation. The last thing
they want anyone to be aware of is how badly they
actually perform when push comes to shove.
They HAVE TO hide results like this.

Doctor's Data
Responds to Barrett Legal
"Whimpering"...
July 9th, 2011 -
Another court document has been filed,
this time by the Plaintiff, in the
Doctor's Data v Barrett, et al,
case. It's intent was to answer
the earlier, to me nearly
indecipherable, document filed by the
Defense (Stephen Barrett) a few weeks
ago.
The legal arguments, at this
point, are over the "Motion to Dismiss" filed by
Stephen Barrett's legal team. Barrett, it
appears, is claiming that he is IMMUNE to
lawsuits because, in his own words, he is
"Assisting Government." (don't laugh - he is
dead serious).
More, it is clear, that Barrett
was originally demanding that the US Federal
court formally declare him to be the "Czar/God
of US health care." (envision the word
MEGALOMANIA here - like in sky-writing).
But, the last few documents filed
by Barrett, it appears to me, have lost their
demanding, condescending tone. They have
settled into a whine - sort of an effort to
snivel, whimper, bleat, blubber, and mewl,
hoping, as it were, to beseech the court for
mercy - so he. Barrett, can live another day,
legally - avoiding, what for him, would be the
process of self-extinction - "Discovery." That
"Discovery" would be a course of action where
Barrett would have to reveal the names and
activities of his masters and co-conspirators.

Stephen Barrett
May Soon Need a "Food Taster?"...
June 18th, 2011 - There is
no doubt in my mind that Stephen Barrett's
masters, the ones that are paying his legal
fees, and directing the Defendant strategy in
the
Doctor's Data v Barrett, et al, Federal
court case in Chicago are worried sick.
For, the Judge's Decision in Barrett's
"Motion to Dismiss" is due any minute.
Yes, the Decision is taking
awhile - but there is good reason for it.
The legal arguments are not simple. In
short, there is a conflict between Substantive
versus Procedural law, and the Judge will be
setting precedent that will need to withstand
Appeal.
I know that sounds confusing, but
in reality it is a simple problem that will have
to take careful legal analysis, and careful
Decision writing by the Judge. The
conflict rises in that Illinois passed a new
anti-SLAPP law that establishes a certain
procedure to be handled in certain kinds of
cases. The trouble is that that State
law's procedures conflict with the Federal Rules
of Procedure, and the court is going to have to
establish a legal precedent. Barrett
claimed protection under that anti-SLAPP law,
and Doctor's Data replied
"This a Federal Case and Federal
rules apply."
But don't worry, no court is
actually going to declare Stephen Barrett as
"the Czar/God of US Health Care," the man
who is
"assisting government," blah,
blah, blah... That's not going to happen.

Stephen Barrett's Personal
Attorney (David Wilzig) Sued For Malicious
Prosecution...
June 11th, 2011
- Attorneys that work with, or for,
Stephen Barrett do not do well.
David Wilzig,
one of Barrett's latest personal attorneys, is
developing significant problems. He was suing,
obviously working with Barrett, a slew of Biological
Dentists, each case mirroring the last, with the
same tired refrain - that
"Biological Dentistry is quackery, blah, blah, blah,
blah." Although Wilzig doesn't call
bobbie baratz (Robert S. Baratz MD, DDS, PhD) as
his main witness anymore (insert a rude noise here),
he has continued the same style attacks. But,
one of Wilzig's victims, a California Dentist named
Alireza
Panahpour, DDS, has had enough and is coming
after Wilzig in a California Superior Court -
and he is coming hard.
The
current lawsuit against Wilzig is filed in
Orange County Superior Court. Because of how
this case came to be, there could be seven more
similar cases filed. Just below is the
summary of the first case:

The Attack on Mark
and David Geier...
May 21st, 2011 -
An attorney friend of mine, Bob
Reeves, a mainstay in the mercury in
health care wars, called me last April
28th, 2011 and asked me to look into
some strange occurrences regarding
Mark Geier MD and
his son David Geier.
As everyone knows, the Geiers are severe
critics of the fact that Thimerasol
(mercury - deadly toxic to humans) has
NOT, despite false claims and
misrepresentations from the vaccine
industry, been removed from vaccines.
Bob asked me, as
a Crisis Management Consultant, to analyze the
situation and give him, and the Geiers, my Opinion

the Public Version. The Private Version is

In
Texas...
April 7th, 2011 - Texas is a
major battle ground in the health wars.
Always has been. What is different
now is that the pace has been stepped
up. "Defense" is last year's strategy -
it got part of the job done.
Now there is a shift - a big one, and it
is rolling along quite nicely.
Before I tell you what's happening, who
is doing it, and where it is going, I'm
going to give you a little history by
showing you a summary of an
earlier campaign.
The big battleground ten-to-fifteen
years ago was California, and the North
American Health Freedom Movement stomped
through the state like
Sherman's march to
the sea.
Like Texas now, coalitions had been
formed, problem areas identified, and
strategies and tactics designed and
implemented. And, once rolling, it
all went smoothly. Unlike Texas,
California is now a safe haven for
cutting-edge health care.

Long Beach Health
Freedom Expo Huge Success...
March 29th, 2011
- Last weekend I was at the Long Beach
Health Freedom Expo. The place was packed for
three days. Any quackbuster attending had to be
completely intimidated. For when I say that the
"health freedom movement outnumbers them 100,000 to 1,"
here, they got a practical application of what I'm
talking about.
The photo to the left
was taken during radio host "Coast-to-Coast" George
Noory's panel discussion in the ballroom. But,
keep in mind that there were THREE radio show hosts at
this event. There were always multiple things,
multiple lectures, etc., going on. Walking down the
hallways it became obvious that virtually all of the
speakers were well attended.
Clinton Ray Miller
did, of course, start off the event, at 10:00AM
Friday, and he set the tone for what was to come.
Immediately after Clinton's lecture the choices
began, and attendees had to pick which speakers they
wanted to hear, or which panel they wanted to catch.

Barrett's "Battle

January 7th, 2011 -
Stephen Barrett,
et al, filed some paperwork Monday,
January 3rd, 2011 in the
Doctor's Data v Stephen Barrett
Federal Court case, in essence,
demanding that the Court Dismiss the
case in its entirety, financially
sanction the attorneys for Doctor's
Data, and Formally Declare
Stephen Barrett as the "Czar/God
of US Health Care..."
I kid you not...
The papers filed in the
case are so ABSURD, even I, in my true
skeptic world, am sitting here with my
mouth hanging open in sheer disbelief -
and I read the whole thing several times
before I went to bed Monday night..
Michael K. Botts
has stepped up to bat... (maybe, sort
of, etc.).
I told you this would
happen. Now will come the
quackbuster's last-ditch effort to
destroy Doctor's Data - as fast as
possible. We'll call the attempt
"Barrett's 'Battle
of the Bulge'..."
Why? Because
I see the similarity, here, with the
attempt NAZI Germany made on December
16th, 1944 to reverse their fortunes of
war, stopping the Allied Invasion of
Europe.
Will this tactic
work for Barrett? (Start smiling right about
here). Absolutely not - for Barrett, and his
band of numby-dumbies are walking right into the
situation (trap) we want them in - they have put
what Barrett actually is, right on the line.
In the documents presented to the Court are the
arguments, I am not joking, that claim that Barrett
is some kind of ultimate Demi-God, fully qualified
(snort here) to decide US health care.
Perfect.

AAPS Wallops
Texas Medical Board...
December 8th, 2010 -
Yes,
this story about the American
Association of Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS)
chewing up the Texas Medical Board in a
Federal Appeals Court is already all
over the internet. However, not
one of the stories tell you what's going
on behind the scenes. And, that's
where the action is.
Fasten your seat belt.
Now, it's very clear that
AAPS sued the Texas Medical Board a
while back, in Federal Court, making
some very specific allegations - but -
the case didn't attract much attention,
because, you know, lawsuits happen all
of the time - right?
Wrong. This case
was a sleeper. In other words, the
strategy, right from the start was to
low-profile it. The fact is this
case is a bombshell, designed to rip the
quackbuster conspiracy from its roots,
and spray Roundup on the stump.
This case is converging quickly with the
Doctor's Data v Stephen Barrett
Federal Court case.
What? The two cases
are related?
Ah, yup...

ObamaCare -
The US Health
Freedom Movement is Responsible for the
Best Changes - But There is Still Much
Work to be Done...
October 31st, 2010
- It is common knowledge that few, if
any, Americans believe what US network
TV tells them about health care.
Most people don't believe what the big
newspapers tell them either.
Americans think that our media is
controlled - and it is. So,
Americans, even those involved in
conventional, status quo, health care
seek real information elsewhere. And,
where do they go? The answer to
that question is readily obvious.
They get information about what is
really happening from those of us in the
North American Health Freedom Movement;
websites, newsletters, radio shows, TV
shows, conferences, public speaking
engagements, legislative efforts, etc.
In fact, just
about everything we do works. We are being
listened to by the people that matter. I'll
give you a demonstration further down the page.

You're right.
Stephen Barrett has, so far, it

30th deadline to Respond to the

So far.
Yes, it's true,
that no papers were apparently filed with the Court
by 5:00PM on that date. And, also very
obviously, no electronic filing was made by midnight
of that same date. And, I checked to see if Barrett
had tried to change jurisdiction to some other Court
- nothing.
Don't get your
hopes up, just yet, to be able to start collecting
Barrett souvenirs, however. There is still one
more legal option available. Barrett's

Doctor's Data v
Barrett "Second Amended Complaint" to be
Filed - and More...
September 18th, 2010 - This case
is becoming an Event to watch...
In mankind's not-so-distant past we used
to have public hangings of criminals.
It was a popular spectacle.
Citizens would gather from miles around
for the Event - and would cheer when the
executioner pulled the trap handle and
the criminal dropped to his death.
Sometimes, in our so-called Modern
Society, certain elements condemn what
used to occur in public, suggesting that
the penalty was too severe. What
these critics failed to realize was that
"hanging" was reserved for the worst of
the criminals - those that had
obviously, and with disdain for for the
public good, done horrendous acts -
usually involving the suffering and
death of many .
So, the ridding, by society, of these
people, was very much something to cheer
about. People could sleep in their
beds in relative safety knowing a beast
was gone. Public hangings were, in
fact, therapy for a long-suffering
community.
That's the way I look at what's
happening to the quackbusters in the
Doctor's Data v
Barrett,
Federal Court case.

Twice now,
before the
Doctor's
Data v Barrett,
Federal Court case,
Stephen
Barrett
has been
named in a RICO action (Racketeering
Influenced Corrupt Organization).
Both times Barrett squawked like a
buzzard. One of those times he
sued the people who had named him in
that incident - only to settle the case
moments, so to speak, before I was
scheduled to testify against him.
Keep in
mind, too, that Barrett sued me, making
the case last almost ten years, without
ever going to Court. To me,
Barrett's reasons for delay were obvious
- he knew, because my attorney Carlos
Negrete, and I, made it very clear that
as soon as the case began to move
forward, our first thrust would be an
immediate demand for Barrett's
psychiatric evaluation - at the hands of
a Board Certified Psychiatrist of our
choice. And then there was the
second move, and the third, and the
fourth...
Right now - Stephen
Barrett is trying to make some desperate
legal moves, and I am about to explain

Doctor's Data
Shows Mercy to Stephen Barrett... I'm
VERY Disappointed...
July 30th, 2010 - I guess
Doctor's Data wants to use a kinder,
gentler approach then I do. They
gave
Stephen Barrett
sixty (60) days, instead of
twenty-one (21) to respond to the
Federal lawsuit they filed against him.
The sixty day period started on June
29th, 2010 so Barrett's answer is not
due until August 30th, 2010. I'll
connect you to a Court Document about
this in a minute.
Sigh...
And here I hoped that, by then, the
"Collection Phase," against
Barrett,
et al, would be in full swing. I
was hoping to bid on his belongings.
I could have set up a website selling
"Barrett Souvenirs." Just think, you may
have been able to buy original Barrett
papers to use to line your cat box - or
some other equally appropriate use.
But, I guess all this is going to take
much longer.
What they, Doctor's Data's legal team,
did, was to send
Barrett
a letter, asking him to accept legal
service of the lawsuit by mail instead
of by process server. In exchange
they would allow him 60 days to respond,
instead of the mandatory 21 days after
process. Barrett signed
the agreement
thereby giving him more time.
But, what is TERRIBLY important, and
what I want you to look at carefully, is
Barrett's printed name, and his
signature, on the agreement. It is
clear that he is shaking nearly
uncontrollably.

Quackpots in a
Tizzy Over Barrett Getting Sued...
July 9th, 2010 - A friend of mine

"Respectful Insolence," run by the guy I
thought was going to be Barrett's
replacement
"Orac the Nipple Ripper."
Ok, the guy doesn't actually call
himself
"Orac the Nipple Ripper."
I call him that. He calls himself just
plain "Orac." But since I found
out he is a breast cancer surgeon in
Detroit, well, you know, I tend to call
a spade a spade - and, a nipple ripper a
Nipple Ripper.
For the most part I avoid venturing into
quackpot discussions for I have a
similar reaction, I think, that a prison
guard would have after having to listen
in on a group of pedophile prisoners
talking.
But, this time, I ventured in, read the
material, then made a few selected
comments using a pseudonym, and I
struck pay dirt.
It seems our boy
"Orac the Nipple Ripper."
wrote a whiny blog article called

Reasons Why Stephen Barrett was Afraid to Go To Trial in the San Diego Federal

June 17th, 2010 - I have received a lot of amusing comments about the

Apparently there a a lot of people out in the world who, you might say, have an

But, had I wrote the whole

The
Assault on Autistic Children and their Parents...
May 1st, 2010
- Things are about to change in the Autism Wars. A new report is going to
be released next week. Find out about it below.
Everybody knows that I am a
Crisis Management Consultant in the health care industry. I get called
into the cases where the quackbuster misinformation group is operating.
Not so long ago, I was hired to look at a situation in Austin, Texas where a
clinic was attacked by goofbag Stephen Barrett on several fronts - a Texas
Medical Board complaint was filed against the doctor (Jesus Caquias MD), all of
the health insurance companies stopped paying the clinic for their services, and
the FBI raided the clinic last July 2009, claiming in the warrant that they were
investigating the clinic for "Insurance Fraud," and "Health Fraud" violations.
But, fear not, for Barrett made
some serious mistakes, and if I have my way he'll get criminally indicted in
Texas for his actions. Keep reading.
The officially approved treatment, in the US, for Autistic children is to put
them in a State mental facility. There, on day one, they yank their pants
down to their ankles, bend them over a table, and jab a hypo full of mind
numbing drugs into their buttocks. Then they throw them into a ward, keep
them doped, where, most likely, they will die in a few years. And, if you
read the US Inspection Report on the
State of Texas Mental Health Facilities I
think you will conclude, as did the Federal Investigators, that they'd be better
off dying sooner than later - for the facilities are a hell-hole of problems,
including rampant sexual abuse.
Why is this
"institutionalizing" of Autistic children the officially approved treatment?
Because according to "the system" Autistic children have been convicted.
Their crime? They have been officially declared, along with their parents,
as having defective genes.
What? Defective genes?
Yup. That's the argument. According to the powers that be there is
no proof of a relationship between Autism and environmental issues, like
vaccines. It is the people who are defective - middle class, and upper
middle class Americans, primarily Caucasians. More, according to "the
system," it is
the brighter people who have the defective genes.

Suzanne Somers's Cancer Book "Knockout" Soars to Number
One on New York Times Best Seller List...
November 12th, 2009
- It just had to happen sooner or later - the truth about the US Cancer
Industry not working at all, just had to come out - to the American public,
in a very big way.
If you haven't picked up, and
read, Suzanne Somers's newest book, you don't have anything better to do today,
after you finish reading my newest newsletter, of course, than running down to
the store and picking up a copy. In fact, if you have a list of people in
mind you care about, then pick up more than one, and give those people a copy.
The book is about the real world, and, frankly, I think Suzanne did a better
job, much more, than she intended.
There is a Foreword to the book
by Julian Whitaker MD. Those of you who know Julian will not be surprised
that he tells it like it is, clearly and succinctly.
Then Suzanne tells her story
about how, about a year ago today, she had a health problem coming home on an
airplane, checked into an Emergency Room unable to breathe properly, and was
given about a gazillion dollars worth of what hospitals seriously label as
cutting-edge testing. She was then diagnosed by six separate doctors there
with full-body cancer. They recommended, of course, full-body chemotherapy
and told her to get her affairs in order immediately.
This all came as a big surprise
to Suzanne, of course, who prides herself on taking care of her health.
After the initial shock wore off common sense kicked in, as in
"wait a minute here, Cancer does not come on this quick." There is
something wrong with this situation.

Quackbusters Sue Each
Other - All is Not Well in Scumville ...
October 15th, 2009

quackbusters
Stephen Barrett,
Terry Polevoy, and Christopher Grell sued me, Tim Bolen, along with a
whole host of people, claiming that world famous author and health
humanitarian
Hulda Regehr Clark PhD
had hired me, Tim Bolen, to defame them - and that several others had
conspired with Clark and myself to accomplish that. After 8 and 1/2
years of no action to prove the case the judge threw it out, Dismissing it
out of hand.
You can read the entire article, the one
that went around the world like wildfire, detailing Barrett, Polevoy, and
Grell's huge humiliation, by clicking
here..
The case wracked up huge
legal bills for the Plaintiffs who also had to pay for the attorney fees for
one of the Defendants,
Ilena Rosenthal. And, those bills came to over $500,000 US.
And, they are not yet paid.
More, Ilena's attorneys are
getting very aggressive about the collection. As well they should.
Last month, in Ontario, Canada Ilena's attorneys won a judgment against
Plaintiff Terry Polevoy for $311,000 US plus three years back interest -
totaling over $350,000 US. They want payment, from Polevoy, right this
minute.
And Polevoy is screeching
like a cornered rat...
He is blaming Grell and
Barrett for his problems. He could be right - or not. I'll let

Congratulations to the AAHF/ANH on their Strategies...

I
am a very loud critic of the US Health Care system. It sucks, and the
American public is suffering from it. There is, right now,
an ongoing dialogue in the US about how to resolve the healthcare crisis.
But, for many of us the fact exists that the points under national
discussion do not even come close to the reality of the problem, for, it is
obvious, the dialogue only seems to be between the different factors of the
very problem.
There is an old adage
"identifying the problem is half way to solution." At the moment
in the official US healthcare dialogue the real problems are not being
addressed - and, of course, because of that there is virtually no movement
towards solution.

The
Six Components of the 2008 Quackbuster Operation...
February 22nd, 2008

Do not, for even a second, think that the US "Quackbuster"

health care system, is run, or even maintained, by delicensed MD Stephen
Barrett out of his 2421 West Greenleaf Street, Allentown, Pennsylvania
address, or his condo at 287 Stoneview, Pittsboro, North Carolina. It
would be foolish to assume that this bitter, nasty, old man, who stumbles
through life, tripping from one professional failure to another, is running

The
US is the Worst Place in the World to Get Cancer Treatment...
May 21st, 2007 -
Everyone "in the know"
knows that if they, or a loved one, gets diagnosed with Cancer, that it's time
to get their Passport out of the safety deposit box, and start checking with
those who keep track, to find out just exactly where to go, right now, for
the best Cancer cure. For, if you stay in the US, and take the
conventional variety of Cancer treatment, your chances of survival are slim
to none.
The conventional US Cancer community is a
murderous rip-off that generates shiploads of money. It provides the
most horrible death imaginable, with the most suffering, the least hope, and
the highest price paid. Europe, Asia, Mexico, the Islands, Central
America all offer solutions that work.

US
Supreme Court Upholds "Ongom;" Quackbuster "Plan of '96" Foiled...
April 25th, 2007 - The New York ad agency
that actually runs the US
"quackbuster"
operation has to be, this week, taking extra blood-pressure medication,
avoiding telephone calls from angry clients demanding to know why the
"Plan of '96"
isn't going to work as promised, anymore.
Why? Because the State of Washington took
the
"Ongom" decision to the US Supreme Court and that Court UPHELD the
Washington Supreme Court decision. This is very good for cutting-edge
heath professionals, and very bad for those trying to stop innovation in
health care.

Pennsylvania Dental Board Approves Cavitat Device, NICO - Dumps
Quackbusters...
April 22nd, 2007 -
Public agencies have relied on the
"quackbuster"
operation for expertise in health care issues far too long. The time
when an agency could fly some
"quackbuster"
bozo in for a hearing, have them testify to nonsense for a few hours, and
stuff them back on a plane, fat check in hand, with the sure knowledge they
had a "win" is long gone.
The State of
Pennsylvania Chief Counsel's office and the Pennsylvania Dental Board found
that out the hard way, over almost a three year period, in the
"Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Stephen R. Evans, DDS" case.
The case, which began in 2003, upon the
complaint of one of the
"quackbuster" nitwits, dragged through Administrative hearings,
Superior Court, and back to Administrative hearing, then finally found its
way back to the Dental Board - with Orders from the Superior Court AND an
Administrative Law Judge to decide, completely, and unarguably, on behalf of
the Respondent Stephen R. Evans DDS.

Quackbuster Assaults: Clark, the One that Worked in Reverse...
April 9th, 2007 -
The US
"quackbuster"
operation, suffers humiliation almost daily these days. When you listen
to their leadership discuss this problem they inevitably blame one person
for their woes - scientist, and author, Hulda Regehr Clark PhD.
76 year-old Clark, an independent scientific
researcher and author of six best-selling books on health care and what's
wrong with it, is clearly the most hated person in quackbusterland.
Why? Is it because they can't beat her down, can't stop the sale of
her books, can't have her imprisoned, can't destroy her reputation, can't
frighten her into submission, and can't destroy her work through innuendo
and smear tactics?
Yes, those are reasons, and good ones, but they
aren't what creates the vehemence and the spittle spewing from
"quackbuster"
lips when they discuss Hulda Regehr Clark PhD.

Why
is the US Health Care System Failing? - Incompetent Management at DHHS...
February 13th ,
2007-
Nobody even tries to hide the fact that
the US Health Care System is broken
beyond repair. There is a lot of finger-pointing going
on, as well there should be. The US health care system costs too much,
it's the top three killers of Americans, and Americans don't trust it. It
simply doesn't work.
Who's fault is this? Blame lies
solidly with the management of the US Department of Health & Human Services
(DHHS). Current management is incapable of dealing with health care
problems. It has set up a US Health Care system that doesn't work, and
has no chance of ever working.

How
to file a CRIMINAL COMPLAINT against Spamhaus/SPEWS...
There's no question in my mind that the Spamhaus/SPEWS
Project is a criminal conspiracy designed to damage legitimate American
businesses' and social activist's ability to communicate on the word wide
internet. The Spamhaus "volunteers," and the SPEWS
manipulators, hide to protect their identities from those victims to avoid
both criminal and civil legal actions against themselves.
But that's over. What Spamhaus/SPEWS is
doing is a series of criminal acts, and the US government is VERY interested in
gathering data. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has already
opened an investigation, and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) has teamed up with the
National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) to create a special agency to deal
with these sort of assaults on the American economy. Below, I'll show you
how to file your own complaint. And I advise you to do just that.

The "Cal Streeter" Story...
May 31st, 2006 -
I'm about to tell you about one of the most important cases in US
healthcare, an assault, and a turning point - the prosecution of a
Northwestern Indiana cutting-edge Doctor of Osteopathy, Wilbert C. (Cal)
Streeter.
Although few have ever heard of the Streeter case, it, of itself, and of
its result, make it a landmark. The case began, roughly, in 1996,
as the result of certain pressures put on the government by the
nefarious
"quackbuster" operation, and it is
still going on - but has taken an entirely different, and interesting
turn.
The case is interesting to the
powerful North American Health Freedom Movement because it was
THE CASE, I believe, that was supposed to be the "model case"
to be used against all "Alternative Medicine" practitioners
nationwide. But since the case pretty much died on the vine, so to
speak, the "model" was dropped, and although the tactic was used
in a few places - it wasn't continued.

broadside last month in
Massachusetts when the Massachusetts

seven charges against cutting-edge
Dentist David Satloff. The

Charges had been brought against
Satloff by the National Council

only person to testify against
Satloff - and he testified for nine
full days. I estimate Baratz

by the State of Massachusetts.
Baratz testified in an earlier
hearing that he has never, actually
practiced Dentistry. He also
claimed to be a

California has always been a leader in health care reform,

Canadian "Health Freedom" Wins a BIG ONE...

that they wanted "the best health care they could get - and they
wanted it RIGHT NOW..."
What they do not want is a "Big Pharma" controlled "drugs,
drugs, and more drugs" based health care system.
Because of their decision to (1) identify problems, (2) identify
possible solutions, (3) make
plans, (4) execute plans, (5) review situation, etc., the Canadian
movement is far ahead of the US group in terms of GOAL achievement.
They have a plan - and they're working it - HARD.

Yup,
That's My Kid...
May 17th, 2012
- There was an uproar several months ago when the
US Congress passed the National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA) and there was a section in
it (1021) that said, according to Wikipedia:
" includes the
power to detain, via the
Armed Forces, any person "who was part of or
substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or
associated forces that are engaged in hostilities
against the United States or its coalition
partners", and anyone who commits a "belligerent
act" against the U.S. or its coalition allies in aid
of such enemy forces, under the law of war, "without
trial, until the end of the hostilities authorized
by the [AUMF]".
Congress, and the President, it
seems, had shut down another piece of the US
Constitution. It was time for activists,
especially those that questioned the activities of
US government agencies, to step back and take a hard
look at what was about to happen. The
question? Could this law be used against us?
It sure looked like it,
especially to those of us familiar with the gun
toting fools at the FDA, or the fully militarized
Public Health Service (yes, they are a military
organization, and yes, they do wear military
uniforms) that the possibilities were daunting.
What possibilities? Well,
every time we turned around, over the last few
years, some government agency was declaring another
pandemic, declaring that the newest flu strain was
going to end mankind as we know it, and demanding
MANDATORY vaccinations of, and for, EVERYONE.
We beat all those back.
But, what if, suddenly, those
same alarmists declared that this flu was a product
of a terrorist organization? Would our
attempts to stave off this crap end with us being
picked up by the military, never to be seen again?
Hmmmm....
Everybody I talked to, no
matter which political side of an argument, was
concerned - right and left alike. The question
was "What are we going to do?"
Well,

REAL Scientific Journals Don't
Lie - Mercury in Vaccines is BAD For You...
But There is Relief...
May 3rd, 2012
-
I have here, below, an important article
about a recent peer-reviewed study in
the very prestigious
scientific journal
Acta
Neurobiologiae Experimentalis.
The study shows, very
clearly, that there are significantly
elevated levels of male hormones
(testosterone) in
patients who display autistic traits as
a result of autism, Asperger’s syndrome,
or other pervasive development
disorders. Always.
And, this situation
needs to be dealt with.
The study is called -
"An evaluation of the role and treatment
of elevated male hormones in autism spectrum
disorders."
The study concludes:
"Given the
association between elevated levels of male
hormones (known as hyperandrogenism) and
autism spectrum disorders, the article
recommends routine screenings of hormone
levels for patients diagnosed with
autism spectrum disorders and, as necessary,
appropriate treatment for elevated
androgens."
When you match this study up with
an earlier study
showing that
mercury in vaccines is a major "hormone
disruptor" in the body, no one will be
surprised that elevated testosterone
levels, in both male and female
children, cause significant problems.
In boys, which outnumber girls
five-to-one in the Autism Spectrum
Disorder numbers, it is far too common
to find early puberty at six years old;
boys developing pubic hair, erections,
masturbation, and aggressive physical
behavior aimed at their siblings,
parents, teachers, etc. - including
extremely damaging violence.
Yes, this is a very big problem
in Autism. Mercury is causing it,
and, with appropriate treatment, it is reversible.

explaining the study...

18 USC § 1512 - Tampering

(b) Whoever knowingly uses intimidation, threatens, or corruptly persuades another person, or attempts to do so, or engages in misleading conduct toward another person, with intent to—
(1) influence, delay, or prevent the testimony of any person in an official proceeding;
(2) cause or induce any person to—
(A) withhold testimony, or withhold a record, document, or other object, from an official proceeding;
(B) alter, destroy, mutilate, or conceal an object with intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding;
(C) evade legal process summoning that person to appear as a witness, or to produce a record, document, or other object, in an official proceeding; or
(D) be absent from an official proceeding to which such person has been summoned by legal process; or
shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
(c) Whoever corruptly—
(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or
(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
(d)
Whoever intentionally harasses another person and thereby hinders, delays, prevents, or dissuades any person from—
(1) attending or testifying in an official proceeding; or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 3 years, or both.
What happened in Court...
Recently filed Court documents clearly show that Doctor's Data is asking the Judge in the case to put a stop to Barrett, and his cronies, intimidating witnesses and prospective witnesses in the Doctor's Data v Stephen Barrett Federal court case.

Who in
the Hell is Brian Deer?...
March 16th, 2012
-
To a lot of us in the North American
Health Freedom Movement, meeting with
the Autism Parents opened up a whole new
world of intrigue and manipulation
focused at the victims of Autism
Spectrum Disorder. That intrigue
and manipulation itself is familiar to
us in the Movement, for, as we found out
quickly after meeting the Autism
Parents, the same predators, operating in
the same way, used the same techniques -
but this time, simply trying to cover up
the fact that Vaccines are causing major
worldwide health problems, and not
"saving humanity" as the Vaccine
Construction" claims.
Of course vaccines cause Autism,
and inflict one in six children with
neurological disorders. Yes, Big
Pharma lies about that, and yes, of
course, the government agencies that "we
the people" put in place to stop this
sort of thing from happening have been
co-opted by the very industry that they
are supposed to regulate. So,
what's new about that? It is a
fact of life here in the United States.
Move on. Deal with it.
But, for us in the Movement, there is a
learning curve. We needed to get
up to speed on the existing situations
extant in the Autism issue. And,
as we soon found out, among other
things, there is this big fight going on
over a peer-reviewed paper written
way-back-when, and published in a
journal called Lancet in Great Britain.
That paper has had quite a bit of
British media surrounding it, and, in
short, caused significant controversy in
Great Britain. It's in this venue
that Brian Deer, from Britain, comes
into play,
Now let's put
all this into perspective so we can look
at this situation in the proper light...
Why is this situation important in the
Autism community - and why the is this
situation important to the Health
Freedom Movement?
At first I was a bit baffled that
anything occurring in Britain would be
of any interest to us here in the US, so
I took a "so what?" approach.
After all "we the people" kind of told
Britain way back in 1776, that we don't
really give a big rat's ass about much
of anything that Britain thought or
wanted, and nicely, at gunpoint, told
them to stay the hell out of our
affairs. And, when they came back
in 1812 all huffy about being rebuffed,
in their Red Coats, we shot them when
and where we found them, buried them
shallow, and planted corn.
Consider, of course, that Britain, for
all its claimed majesty, is
geographically smaller than most
counties in California. And, since
the weather there is abysmal, most
people there hibernate - contrast that,
of course, to California where we are
one-with-the-sun. When the Brits
do come out to find a fish-and-chips
place they are each photographed, by the
security cameras surrounding them, more
times than Lindsey Lohan, boobies
bouncing, coming out of rehab. The
British government is the epitome of
paranoia. They trust their
citizenry, obviously, not-all-all.
I thought, when I first read about all
those security cameras, that all that
photo security was a bit overdone, and
of course, it is. But then I
started taking a look at this Brian Deer
character, and it began to dawn on me
that there just might be some
justification for keeping photographic
track of certain kinds of people.
Keep in mind that I have been
investigating, very carefully, the group
that calls itself "the skeptics."
There was a time, early in my
investigation, when I considered
attending, quietly, a local skeptic
meeting. But, I thought about what
I was uncovering about them, and decided
that there was a good chance, even here
in the US, that local law enforcement
might be photographing everyone that
goes in and out of one of their
meetings.

The social situation of Autism is a

I Found The
Quackbuster Money Trail...
January 9th, 2012
-
For years I have been monitoring the
operations of a group that originally
called itself the "Quackbusters."
The name was a play on the popularity of
the movie "Ghostbusters."
The reality is
that there was, and is now, an organized
conspiracy, centered in the US, to
control, through information
manipulation, certain aspects of health
care.
The plot has always been
pretty much the same - the attacking and
discrediting of people, organizations,
ideas, concepts, etc., that challenge
the highly profitable, but dangerous, and
ineffective, US health care system.
In short they are simply a
misinformation campaign.
The Quackbusters have had limited
success in their campaigns, usually
fooling only the least informed of the
population. But they have caused
significant damage to that same population in
those areas where they have been
successful - like Autism - where they
have successfully, so far, prevented an
official understanding of the cause of
Autism, and hence, prevented solution of
the problem of Autism and other
Neurological issues.
My regular readers know that for years,
I have taken on, in my professional
Crisis Management Consultant role, this
so-called "Quackbuster" operation with
success. I am, without doubt
"Public Enemy Number One" in
quackbuster land. I also
encourage, and support, others to deal
with this conspiracy up front, rather
than just focusing on defending against
the attacks. To me, it is important to
make the "Quackbusters," individually,
and in their conspiracy, not just PART
of the argument, but the ENTIRE argument
in any case.
Has this been successful? Yes, it
has, for the result is that the older
version of the quackbuster conspiracy,
for the most part, is completely gone in
more ways than one: (1) the
original players have disappeared into
the woodwork, so to speak, and (2)
their replacements, for the most part,
are so scared of being personally "outed"
they HIDE behind fake names, fake
identities, etc.
I'll explain this power shift in the
quackbuster ranks, and how it all works,
below. Why? Because it is
time to shut this whole operation down
and see about putting their key
people where they belong.
Constantly I
am asked, referring to what is commonly called
the Quackbuster operation, "Who's paying
these people to do this stuff?
Well, now I
know the answer to that question, and shortly,

Maryland
Board of Physicians Seeks a Whitewash...
December 4th, 2011
- Health care is a serious business, but
sometimes I just have to laugh out loud
at the antics of those "we the people"
have been dumb enough to entrust with
administrative function in our health
care system - example: The
Maryland Board of Physicians.
As we all know, the
Maryland legislature issued a
two-hundred page report virtually
declaring the physician board
incompetent last week, and hearings have
been scheduled to bring the board to
task.
So, what is the board's
response to the legislature's blast?
Two parts: (1) "We're
doing just fine. The legislature
doesn't know what they are talking
about. Look at how we went after
the Geiers," and (2)
"We should bring in an
expert to help us get organized..."
So what expert does the board,
represented by Joshua Scharfstein, want to bring in?

CDC
Tells Federal Court - "FOIA Means Nothing to
Us. We'll Withhold Whatever We Want..."
November 12th, 2011 - This
article is a direct follow-up to an
article I wrote October 4th, 2011 titled
"The CDC Has Known All
Along How Dangerous Vaccines Are - And Has Covered
It Up... (Part One)"
where I explained about Brian Hooker
PhD's lawsuit against the Center for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for
withholding public information he, and
every American citizen, is entitled to
under the US Freedom Of Information Act
(FOIA). Brian Hooker has been
investigating the five so-called
"studies" the CDC claims prove that
Thimerosal in vaccines does not cause
Autism nor neurological disorders.
Today I will tell you the CDC's formal
response. The title of this
article pretty well sums up the CDC
position. Will they get away with
this? Nope. Keep reading.
Laying the
groundwork...
First, let me tell you about
Julie Gerberding, the head of the
CDC from 2002 through 2009.
She was running things at CDC when Brian
Hooker PhD began making his FOIA
requests - and was being stonewalled.
She was there for seven years.
President Obama fired her as head of CDC
in early 2009. Within just a few
weeks Gerberding went from that $250,000

Will the Top
Skeptic "Amazing Randi" Be Federally
Indicted in Florida?
October 23rd, 2011 - It's looking
good for that. Hooray. I'll
explain below.
I have absolutely no use for the group
that describes themselves as "Skeptics."
The group, made up, I believe, of life's
flotsam and jetsam, inhabits the
internet after a minimal training at
some skeptic conference teaching them
how to be even nastier, sleazier, human
beings than they were before they found
the organized clutter based out of
Amherst, New York. This group is
reinforced by a five foot tall moron who
calls himself "The Amazing Randi."
Randi, in his megalomania, has actually,
magically I guess, created himself as an
arbiter of all things, even publicly
offering the occasional "Million Dollar
Challenge," setting up (laugh here)
parameters in his challenge which allow
him, and him alone, to change those
parameters as he goes along,
eliminating, of course, the possibility
of anyone being able to collect on the
so-called million. Don't be
surprised - this gambit is a cornerstone
of this form of skepticism.
More, Randi, astoundingly, actually
found someone to fund, and help him set
up (get ready to choke with laughter)
the "James Randi Educational Foundation
(JREF)". Before you laugh too
loudly I want you to take a look at an
attached document called an Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) Form 990.
JREF reported, in 2010, a total income
of $999,971.00 and a Total Asset claim
of $1,736,101. Click
here to see the available JREF Form
990.
Under the JREF Form 990 Summary Section
- Box One, asking for the organization's
mission, JREF answers "To promote
critical thinking and investigate claims
of the paranormal."
All of the Form 990 for JREF is not
available to the public. One
section called the Form Schedule B, a
list of, with addresses and amounts, of
contributors who individually contribute
over $5,000 is not there.
So, recently, I sent an email to James
Randi asking:

Doctor's
Data v Barrett - Why the Wait?
October 9th, 2011
-
The last real activity in the
Doctor's Data v Stephen Barrett
Federal court case, besides the monthly
re-scheduling of Status Hearings, was last July,
2011. I wrote about that:
"The legal
arguments, at this point, are over the "Motion
to Dismiss" filed by Stephen Barrett's legal
team. Barrett, it appears, is claiming
that he is IMMUNE to lawsuits because, in his
own words, he is "Assisting Government." (don't
laugh - he is dead serious).
More, it is
clear, that Barrett was originally demanding
that the US Federal court formally declare him
to be the "Czar/God of US health care."
(envision the word
MEGALOMANIA here - like in sky-writing).
But, the last
few documents filed by Barrett, it appears to
me, have lost their demanding, condescending
tone. They have settled into a whine -
sort of an effort to snivel, whimper, bleat,
blubber, and mewl, hoping, as it were, to
beseech the court for mercy - so he, Barrett,
can live another day, legally - avoiding, what
for him, would be the process of self-extinction
- "Discovery." That "Discovery" would be a
course of action where Barrett would have to
reveal the names and activities of his masters
and co-conspirators."
So, what IS happening?
Why is there no activity? MORE
US
Federal Agents Arrest Top "Skeptic..."
September 17th, 2011
- Fortunately, or
unfortunately, depending on how you look
at things, I, Tim Bolen, have become a
primary information source about an
organization that, for purposes of
intentional misinformation, calls itself
"the
quackbusters."
I have OTHER NAMES for
them. So do their victims. Some of those
names, but not most, can be used in polite company.
Again, unfortunately, a current
definition of who and what these people are, is not
information that sits comfortably with most of my
readers. Why? Because what I am about to
tell you is not conversation for a family Sunday Dinner
Table.
The audio tapes, and the video
tapes, I link to, to make my case, so-to-speak, will
make most people physically ill. But they
clearly identify, in strong graphic rendition,
exactly what the psychological makeup of the current
quackbuster operation actually is.
But, one must know the enemy.
Even if it's just to know their neck size for the
noose, so to speak.

Vaccines - The
Emperor Has No Clothes...
August 26th, 2011
- On Thursday, August 18th, 2011, a meeting was held
in Washington, DC hosted by John Thompson -
Deputy Director, Office of Environmental Policy,
U.S. Department of State. It was very
eventful.
The fact that the meeting
happened at all cascaded shock waves through the
vaccine promotional community. Why?
Because the reality of this meeting, and where the
vaccine situation is heading, shows that the
carefully contrived world of vaccine promotion is
crumbling - and, hopefully, it will never recover.
The official reason for the
meeting, called a "US State Department Listening Meeting" was
primarily about the
presentation of several NGOs (Non Government
Organizations) each of whom have a seat at the
United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) on
mercury in the environment, alongside the US
State Department.
Those NGOs take a completely
different position, in fact in total
opposition, to certain official US government
agencies, and pharmaceutical trade groups, on the issue
being addressed at the UN meeting - mercury in the
world environment.
The four groups (NGOs) were speaking
on two separate aspects of the issues surrounding
the removal of mercury in medicine: (1)
mercury in vaccines: represented by the
Coalition for Mercury-free Drugs (CoMeD),
and SafeMinds,
(2) and mercury amalgam dental fillings:
represented by the International
Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT),
and Consumers
for Dental Choice.
The NGOs had the science.
The opposition sort of remembered to come to the meeting.

The Vaccine
Industry's Campaign to Destroy Mark and David Geier
is Failing Miserably ...
August 2nd, 2011
- The pseudo-skeptic weenies that write
(and band together to get Google
ranking) about Mark and David
Geier would like their readers to
believe that dire things are happening
to the father and son nemeses of the
vaccine industry. They will tell
you, for instance, that more and more
States are taking Mark Geier's medical
licenses away - blah, blah, blah...
It is all just a ruse to
damage the Geiers. And, it is not
working.
The truth of the
situation is something completely
different. Because of the Maryland
Privacy Rule I cannot tell you
everything that is going on in that
medical board case. All
other medical boards are awaiting the
outcome of the Maryland case.
Maryland law is very
clear - and the Medical Board has no
chance of winning. It is just a
matter of time. I'll be doing a
separate article on this.
But, time has run
out for the vaccine industry.
Their attempt to discredit the Geiers,
before something happened on the world
scene, has flopped. Why do I say
that?
The answer is in the
Press Release below - sent out by CoMed
yesterday. In short, The United
Nations Environmental Program on mercury
has taken the Geier's "mercury in
vaccines" recommendations and made them
part of the United Nations plans for the
elimination of mercury in the
environment - a massive victory for both
the Geiers and the Coalition for
Mercury-free Drugs (CoMed).

The Victory in
Texas Was Not Enough...
June 27th, 2011 -
There is a story circulating around the
internet based on an article originating
from
the American Association of Physicians
and Surgeons (AAPS) website, talking
about the legislative victory in
Texas recently. I don't
disagree with the story. Yes, it
was a victory - but it simply wasn't
enough.
It was a compromise
solution which left the corrupt system
in Texas in place More needs to be
done.
In short, our bill
HB 1030
passes the House 147 to 0 - but was
blocked in the Senate. The
compromise bill, which DID pass both
houses was called HB 680. I'll

The
Fundamental Issues Coming Up
in the Geier Case...
June 16th, 2011
- A hearing will begin in Maryland in
front of an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ)
tomorrow morning (June 17th, 2011) to
determine whether, or not, the Maryland
Board of Physicians had justifiable
cause to immediately suspend Mark Geier
MD's medical license. The hearing
could last up to a week before all of
the world-class Geier witnesses could be
heard.
But, in essence, what is
really happening here is that the State
of Maryland has a structure in place for
this sort of situation - sort of a
check and balance system. The
legal question to be adjudicated at this
hearing is NOT whether or not Mark Geier
MD did anything wrong in his medical
practice, but whether the Maryland Board
of Physicians followed "due process," in
yanking his license in this "emergency"
manner.
And, the Maryland Board
of Physicians is stumbling big time.

About
Kathleen Seidel - Would You Leave Your Child in This
Woman's Day Care Center?
June 2nd, 2011 - In an earlier article
"The Attack on
Mark and David Geier," I wrote about
the basis for the attack on Mark Geier MD -
the original
Formal Complaint filed against them by
a woman named
Lisa Randall,
the mouthpiece for a national vaccine
promo group.
That
Complaint was based,
totally, on the writings of one
Kathleen Seidel pictured,
from a New York Magazine
article at the right, who
fashions herself as a spokesperson for what she
describes as the neurodiverse.
Seidel vehemently attacks
scientists like the Geiers from her internet perch,
her neurodiversity blog. Her claim is that
"brain damage is a gift," and that Autism is
misunderstood, for, in her view it represents (get
this...) the next step in the evolution of humanity.
She claims that people like the Geiers are violating
the rights of the brain-damaged, and they must be
stopped.
Seidel has devoted most of the
waking hours of her life, since late 2005, to
damaging the Geiers in any way she can. For
the most part, that is ALL her blog is about.
Twenty-eight strange-weird articles about the Geiers

Attorney
Botts MISSING - Barrett's Legal Life In
Hands of Rookie...
March 28th, 2011 - It's
laughter time once again in the
Doctor's Data v Barrett
Federal court case in
Illinois.
Not long ago
Stephen Barrett's legal team (snort here) went
to court to get a ten day extension to answer an
answer to a Motion. They said it was necessary
to get more time so as to answer Doctor's Data's
Official Response to their own Motion to Dismiss,
claiming that the Response was "so very long."
They got the ten days.
Today they finally submitted
their paperwork, and lo and behold, it was written,
not by
Michael K. Botts, Esq, Barrett's so-called "lead
attorney," but by one of the Chicago firm's people,
an attorney who just got their Bar license not long ago - and
apparently has nor experience on this
kind of law.
So, where's Botts? As I
said in an earlier article:
"The Motion For Extension of
Time was filed by the Chicago attorneys.
Barrett's so-called lead attorney, Michael K. Botts,
seems to have disappeared, and if he's working at
all, it may be out of the trunk of his car - since
it was pointed out in the Plaintiff's Objection to
an Extension of Time, that Botts is NOT working at
the law office, anymore, that he claimed he worked
at, at the beginning of the case."
So, what was the
essence of
Stephen Barrett's paperwork this
time? Same as before - they claim
that Barrett is not defaming anyone.
He is "helping the government..."so, therefore, "this whole case is a
SLAPP and it should be dismissed..."
I love it. ( Insert
laughter here)

Health Canada Under Massive Attack by
Natural Products Maker...
Sunday,
March 20th, 2011 - There is an important Court
proceeding coming up this Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011
in a Federal Appeals Court in Calgary, Canada.
Health Canada has already
circulated two Memorandums that indicate that it
knows they are going to lose this battle - and that
loss will radically change the way they have to
operate. I'll show you those memos, near the
bottom of this article.
There is no question that
Health Canada, the North-of-the-border equivalent of
the US FDA, is totally, and completely run by the
very drug companies it was designed to regulate.
Just the same, in fact, as the US FDA is.
Health Canada, like its US FDA
counterpart, has a well-lubricated revolving door of
drug company executives turned Health Canada
leaders, turned back to drug company executives.
Continuously.
So, it is no surprise that
Health Canada, itself, would take on the thought
processes, and the moral lack, of the drug companies
themselves.
There is no better example in
Canada of how the drug lord run Health Canada
operates than to point out how Health Canada attacks
competitors to drugs - espoused, for instance, in
the infamous raids, and seizures, involving
Truehope Nutritional Support ltd,
of Alberta,
Canada, the manufacturer of
EmpowerPlus.
Truehope, as you may remember,
was, perhaps, the first natural products company to thrash Health Canada in a courtroom for their
actions. More, they improved their corporate
bottom line during the process.

Barrett's Sweaty Desperation...
March 8th, 2011 -
There were two legal filings, recently, in the
Doctor's Data v Stephen Barrett
Federal Court
case. The first filing was, as
expected, Barrett's last-ditch attempt
to avoid Discovery - a Motion to Dismiss
based on two allegations: (1) that
the Plaintiff failed to make a proper
claim (snort), and (2) that the lawsuit
violated the Illinois Anti-SLAPP law.
The second filing, of course, was the
answer to the first.
In short, the first filing, authored by
Michael K. Botts, Esq., was an angry
outburst, poorly researched, badly
written piece of pseudo-legal claptrap.
The second filing, authored by Jeffrey Levens, Esq., was, as we always see, an
elegantly crafted, legally spot-on,
detailed analysis of the problem at
hand.
No competition. Michael K. Botts, in this case, is
being more badly beaten up than during the
rip-thrashing he took from the
Alternative Medicine world during the
infamous
Herbert v American Quackery
Association - 1987 case. (smile

Are
Barrett's Handlers About to Buy Off
Terry Polevoy?
December 29th, 2010
- The quackbuster operation is having its
woes these days. It seems that
everywhere they turn there is another
fire to put out. It couldn't
happen to a nicer bunch... This
particular fire is going to cost
Stephen Barrett's
handlers over $450,000 US dollars - I'll
explain below.
And, much more is coming their way.
As well it should.
A few months ago I wrote an article "Is
Terry Polevoy the Information Source for
Doctor's Data?..."
suggesting that, perhaps, Canada's Terry
Polevoy might be an information source
for the attorneys representing Doctor's
Data against Stephen Barrett, Quackwatch,
inc, and the National Council Against
Health Fraud (NCAHF). Frankly, I
was joking - for no way would I believe
that Polevoy was smart enough to figure
out, or use, that kind of lever in his
case against his former Co-Plaintiffs in
the Barrett v Clark case.
That is - until he, Polevoy, got the
idea from the article I wrote.

Doctor's Data V Barrett, et al - The

November 30th, 2010 -
I admit it. I love telling a good
story. Give me a chance and I'll
drag out the good parts, throwing in
laughs here and there. The story,
of course, I'm telling today is about
the
Doctor's Data v Stephen Barrett Federal Court
case, which is, by far, the most
important court case involving health
care in North America.
Today I've got a BIG laugh for you -
unless, of course, you are a quackbuster

story funny at all - you are going to,
once again, call me names - nasty names.
Ready?
Let's go.
The National Council Against Health
Fraud (NCAHF), also a Defendant in this
case, has a Twenty member Board of
Directors. I have a copy of the
last publicly listed Board just below.
In short, they are named in this case
because the so-called "Consumer Health
Digest," supposedly a weekly newsletter
to its approximate 12,000 subscribers,
is supposedly a joint effort of Stephen
Barrett and the NCAHF, co-edited by
Barrett and
William London.
Articles in that newsletter are named in

Barrett Gets the Attorney He Deserves...
September 29th, 2010 - I enjoy writing
about the
Doctor's Data v Barrett case.
Every time I turn around and look to see
what's happening another guffaw exits my
system, for once more, seemingly out of
nowhere sometimes, comes one more patent
example that there is, in fact, a divine
justice in the world.
For those of you who don't
know,
Stephen Barrett
and his weenie minions, are, for
the most part (among other things) Secular
Humanists, which, in simple translation, means that
they do not believe in a God or religion, nor, to
me, do they grasp or embrace the moral and ethical
codex that, in essence, in 1776, established the
very grounds for the social experiment known as "The
United States of America." They, the Secular
Humanists, believe that THEY are Gods unto
themselves. None of them have a clue as to the
constraints put on the rest of us by our adherence
to the Judeo/Christian Ethic, and how that code
applies in ways we treat each other.
Ok, OK... I promised to
make my next article about who the 2010/2011
quackbusters really are, and this little piece isn't
actually doing that. But, think of it as an
introduction to where we are going. That
paragraph above, about the Secular Humanist
component of the quackbuster operation, sets the
stage, as it were, for what's coming.
Divine justice in the world?
Oh yeah. This case, and all of its
development, is clear evidence that there is in
fact, a God, and that he/she has a sense of humor.

Is Terry Polevoy the Information Source
for Doctor's Data?...
September 12th, 2010
- I read Court documents, including
Original Complaints (the lawsuit itself)
all of the time. It occurred to
me, when I first read the
Doctor's Data v Barrett,
Federal Court case that the attorneys
writing that case were very well
informed about how the quackbusters
operate. I thought to myself
"these people must have been reading my
newsletters..." But, as I
began to re-read the case several times,
looking for stuff to write about, I
decided that it was very likely they had
a well-informed source of their own
- perhaps someone inside the quackbuster
ranks.
As I thought about that I realized that
because the upper echelon of the
quackbuster operation tend to use their
soldiers like Kleenex, there was a very
long list of victims that might fit the
bill. As I thought about it I
realized that it would have to be
somebody who was relatively close to the
top of the operation - at the same time
disenchanted, for whatever reason, with
the people at the top.
The tentative list I put together was
large, and included, virtually every
member of the old NCAHF Board of
Directors (the ones still alive), for,
as you can easily see, they, since their
usefulness has expired, have been used
and thrown in the trash. You
hardly ever hear about William Jarvis
since the California Health Freedom
Movement worked to get him tossed
from Loma Linda University.
And, weird old Wallace Sampson just kind
of faded into his own fart pattern.
And then, one day, I realized I hadn't
re-visited that lawsuit
Terry Polevoy
had filed against
Stephen Barrett's
personal attorney Christopher Grell, and
20 other John Does, in California.
So, I did revisit it - and the light
went on.

California Supreme Court Bitch-Slaps
Stephen Barrett Once Again...
July 25th, 2010 - I find it
surprisingly easy to defeat Barrett and
his minions. It's almost like they
lead themselves into the slaughterhouse.
And there I stand with an axe...
On July 14th, 2010, a
little over a week ago, the California
Supreme Court, with virtually no effort
on my part, stomped a rancid old fart
named Stephen Barrett on my behalf, by
the simple act of denying Barrett's
Petition to that Court, practically
begging the Supreme Court to overturn
the earlier Appeals Court Decision
upholding the Alameda Superior Court's
decision to Dismiss Barrett's case
against me.
The Judge in the
Superior Court, once again with no
effort on my part, had Dismissed the
case since, frankly, Barrett, et al,
just couldn't seem to get it up enough
to pursue the original silliness.
We, on the other hand, spent no effort
either.
It has always been my
opinion that Stephen Barrett has always
wanted to TELL people he is suing me,
but actually facing me in Court, or
anywhere else, is a whole another
matter. I think it has been a
manhood issue with him all along. MORE
Barrett
Has Four Days Left - Then He Goes to
Default...
July 8th, 2010 - I just
checked my "Pacer" (Federal Court
information system) file, and Barrett
has not yet brought in a lawyer, and
filed a response to the Doctor's Data
lawsuit against him. Could it be this
easy? Could it be that rancid old
Stephen Barrett, when push comes to
shove, just could not back up his public
statements in a Court of law, and is
just going to let the collection agents
pick him clean? Could it be that
Doctor's Data will have unlimited access
to Barrett's years records showing whom
he plotted with?
(I'm really getting all excited thinking
about this).
As I said in
my last article:
In the Federal Court System a defendant
is given 21 full days to properly
Respond to a lawsuit. Let's
assume, for the moment, that since
Stephen Barrett was sued by Doctor's
Data on June 18th, 2010, that he was
served with papers on the 19th, the next
day. Counting 21 days from that
moment brings us to Monday, July 12th,
2010 - the deadline for Barrett to hire
an attorney who can practice in Federal
Court in Chicago, Illinois, and prepare,
and submit a Response to the Court.
That's eight days from now - and Barrett
does not even have an attorney yet.
Well, he only has about four more
days... And, as I indicated:
What happens if Barrett does not
Respond?
If Barrett does not Respond then
Doctor's Data simply files for what is
called a "Default Judgment," asking the
Court to award everything they asked for
- the Five Million in Damages, the
Fifteen Million in Punitive Damages, and
a permanent Injunction barring Barrett
from talking about Doctor's Data, etc.
The Judge's answer is almost automatic..
So, why hasn't Barrett "lawyered up" and
answered?
Let's think about that. There are
probably three main reasons:

Stephen Barrett
Rip-Thrashed Once (Twice?) Again..
June 2nd, 2010 -
I fully expected a battle royal in a San Diego Federal
Courtroom this week with Stephen Barrett. Barrett had sued Hulda Clark and
Carlos Negrete, making some sort of claim or another (I find it hard to tell
what Barrett's lawsuits are actually claiming). I was a major witness
scheduled to testify against him and I'd been preparing for weeks going over
every piece of evidence I had ever gathered regarding Barrett's activities.
I fully expected to testify for a full day - maybe more. And, I had
a lot to say.
I even bought a new tie for the occasion.
But, this afternoon I found out that Barrett, today, came
to Court apparently wanting to settle the case. And Carlos Negrete,
apparently in his infinite mercy, agreed to a settlement denying me the
opportunity to walk all over Barrett wearing my golf shoes - so to speak..
Worse, Carlos won't even tell me the terms of the settlement. He says it
is confidential.
Carlos Negrete is, I guess, much nicer than I am when it
comes to Barrett.

Orac the Nipple Ripper...
November
20th, 2009 - I've been wondering who would pick up
the reins of the
quackbuster
operation once
Stephen Barrett croaks, which could
be very soon. I think I found the
candidate. He's perfect for the job - has all of the right quali-fications,
and seems eager to fill the spot.
For years there
was a contest, among the quackpot faithful, to be crowned the heir apparent, and
many were groomed for the job. But, problems kept coming up, so there was
no obvious Crown Prince.
Everybody who
follows my newsletter could figure out that there were two major candidates
vying for the top spot - sometimes even trying to push Stevie off the bus a
little early. I am, of course, referring to
Bobbie Baratz, the current
president of the National Council Against Health Fraud and
Terry Polevoy,
Canada's low-budget Barrett copy.
Bobbie Baratz
was, for a time, head and shoulders above Polevoy in the race, for he had three
doctorate degrees (MD, DDS, and PhD) and he flaunted them in everyone's face,
offering himself, just like Barrett did, as a virtual expert in EVERYTHING.
But,
there's a new guy in town...

I Love Being Hated by Quackbusters...
November 12th, 2009
- New Orleans area
doctor James Carter MD, PhD, author of the famous book "Racketeering in
Medicine," the blatant 1994 expose of the plot to destroy innovation in
US health care, called me up one day, several years back, and asked me if I was coming to a certain
health convention where he was going to be.
He had me
worried for a minute, for I thought that he might be angry at me for I had
recently removed him as the "most hated person in
quackbuster land," and
inserted myself into that position. After all, there is honor, in certain
important circles, in being on Stephen Barrett's website. The thinking is
that the more space you get on Barrett's sleazy pages the more good you must be
doing for humanity. Barrett was giving me lots of space - more than anyone
had ever gotten. I was worried that Jim Carter might be upset with me for
pushing him into second position.
But he wasn't.
He wanted me to come and speak to a large group of cutting-edge doctors and he
wanted to introduce me personally. Barrett has no idea, to this day, how
much of an honor he had bestowed on me. I spent a weekend with a group of
people who lead the nation, if not the world, in innovative health care
thinking. It was, to say the least, stimulating.

Will Suzanne Somers New
Book on Alternative Cancer Therapies Start the Cancer Revolt?...
October 19th, 2009 -
Watch Larry
King Friday night, October 23, 2009. He's interviewing Suzanne Somers about her new book
"Knockout," which talks about REAL treatments, ones that actually work, for
cancer. 9:00PM EST
The longest
running war conducted by the United States is not the war in Iraq, nor the
war in .Afghanistan. It is the "War on Cancer" started, with great
fanfare, in 1972, thirty-seven years ago, by President Richard Nixon. It is
a complete failure. The enemy, cancer, continues to gain ground.
In truth,
the only people who benefit from this war are those in the huge, for profit,
cancer industry - certainly not cancer victims or their families. The accepted therapies,
those claimed to be "proven," are, in actuality, worthless. The
statistics generated, even though the industry massages them, clearly show
that 97.9% people who go the chemotherapy therapy route are dead five years
later. That's correct - chemotherapy only has a 2.1% success rate over
five years. Put in a 2.5% "margin of error" and you've got a big fat
zero.
More, the
government apparatus we've created to help with this war is no more than a
huge "welfare for scientists" program with absolutely nothing to show for
their thirty-seven years of existence except higher percentages of cancer
deaths.

US FDA: Maybe It's
Time for the Hercules Solution...
April 18th, 2007 - In Greek mythology,
Aegeas, the king of Elis, had a vast herd of cattle. The stables in
which they were kept hadn't been cleaned in 30 years. By then it was
impossible to clean them and the resulting stench was unbearable.
Hercules, who had been assigned 12 stupendous tasks ("the Labours of
Hercules") to be performed in atonement for a crime he had supposedly
committed, came on the scene. One of those tasks was to clean the Aegean
stables. Hercules did the job in one day by diverting a river to flow thorough
the King’s stables.
The phrase "clean the
Aegean stables" now means to clear away an accumulated mass of corruption
– physical, moral, ethical, legal...
The stench at the US Food
& Drug Administration (FDA) is unbearable. The FDA, designed to regulate
certain industries in the US, has been taken over, in its entirety, by those
industries, who operate the agency for their own benefit. There is no
argument against this statement. At FDA the tail is wagging
the dog. Americans are being regulated by industries. It's the way
it is.

February 15th, 2007 - Ten US

"Each of us believes our
current health system needs to be fixed now. Further delay is unacceptable as
costs continue to skyrocket, our population ages, and chronic illness
increases. In addition, our businesses are at a severe disadvantage when their

I'm going to say this once again - Nobody even tries to hide the fact that
the US Health Care System is broken
beyond repair. There is a lot of finger-pointing going

The US health care system costs too much, it's the top three killers of

Nine Percent Approval Rating? US Network Television News FAILS

obvious, was two things: (1) sell more drugs to the American
consumer, and, (2) control the media, especially US television..
TV network
news, it appears, got the lion's share of advertising dollars.
I estimate that 55% percent of all advertising during the News

After having scored the historic coup of convincing the Food
and Drug Administration to reconsider its 2009 rule that
declared mercury amalgam safe, the petitioners, led by a
strong contingent from IAOMT, presented an expert panel with
extensive testimony about the hazards of dental mercury. As
was the case at the 2006 meeting, the scientific and
clinical presentations were supported by compelling personal
stories of illness and recovery from victims of amalgam
toxicity. Of course, there were several representatives of
“organized” dentistry, who vigorously expressed confidence
in the safety of amalgam, but they presented no new science.
The press coverage was unprecedented. Brian Williams and
Katie Couric each broadcast two minute stories, with
interviews of Freya Koss, Karen Palmer, and Dr. Mark Breiner.
Many print and internet outlets picked it up too, including
the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, LA Times,

FDA Says You Don’t
Exist -You Have Until Dec. 3 to Prove
Them Wrong...
Guest Article by
Charles G.
Brown, National Counsel
Consumers for Dental Choice
November 19th, 2010 -
Here is one of the frauds for which FDA is
famous. FDA’s in-house dentist Susan Runner, who
proudly unveiled FDA’s abysmal amalgam rule at a
news conference in July 2009, said that in all of
human history only 141 people have complained about
amalgam. In reality, FDA has received thousands of
letters and comments from people saying amalgam’s
mercury has caused grievous harm to them or a member
of their family. But FDA’s “scientists” (and I use
that word loosely) have decided that their prime
source of information is the pro-mercury American
Dental Association – a trade association that
endorses the products of amalgam manufacturers for
cash and that owns two amalgam patents.
So Susan Runner, speaking for the Food and Drug
Administration, says you do not exist – nobody is
injured by amalgam. FDA pretends mercury implanted
an inch from a child’s brain does no harm, that
mercury implanted in a pregnant woman does not hurt
the unborn baby, that amalgam does not contribute to
the total mercury bioburden in our bodies. Instead
of protecting consumers, FDA gave the dental
industry and the cut-rate pro-mercury dentists a
green light to cover up the mercury from consumers
in 2009.
Now thanks to all those who spoke out against the
rule, FDA is reconsidering its position on amalgam.
Here are three things you can do to make a
difference:

The Starfield
Revelation, Revisited...
By John Rappaport
October 30, 2010 - In the summer of the year 2000, it was a bolt
out of the blue. The revelation. I come back
to it for various reasons—this time because I’ve
been reading doctors’ attacks on the nutritional
industry: “fraudulent claims, quackery,
unproven science, theft.”
You’ve heard all the accusations.
I t’s
interesting that these doctors don’t bother to
examine their own profession. If they did,
they would fall through the deep hole, and they
might never find their way back to the top.
On July 26, 2000, Dr. Barbara Starfield
published her landmark study, “Is US Health
Really the Best in the World?” in the
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
At the time, Starfield was working at the Johns
Hopkins School of Public Health. She still is.
She is, as you can see, an insider. You don’t
have your papers published in JAMA if you’re
not.
Among her findings? The annual figure for
deaths caused by medical drugs in the US is
106,000.
THE ANNUAL FIGURE.
All those drugs were, according to her report,
correctly prescribed and, of course, approved by
the FDA. No drug makes its way into the
American market unless the FDA certifies it as
safe and effective. Both.
In a long, exclusive interview I conducted with
Dr. Starfield earlier this year " AN
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH Dr. Barbara Starfield:
Medically Caused Death in America,"
she made it clear that, since the 2000
publication date, no federal agency had
contacted her to consult on taking remedial
actions, in the face of all these deaths.
It was also clear that the federal government
had undertaken no massive campaign to cut down
on the deaths caused by medical drugs.

The Threat to
Health Freedom Now - an Exclusive Interview with
Jonathan Emord...
By John Rappaport
October 25, 2010 -
As a medical investigative reporter for 28
years, I’ve seen public interest in health
freedom come and go. Right now, in 2010, it
is at a low point.
In the early 1990s, there was a tremendous
fervor in America. Millions of people,
perceiving a threat from the federal
government, realized they could be cut off
from the right to improve their health
according to their own wishes, judgments,
and decisions.
In practical terms, health freedom has come
to mean: the right to have access to the
widest possible range of nutritional
supplements, health practitioners, and
treatments—with no government
obstruction.
Back in 1993, millions of Americans believed
in that principle, and sent letters to
Congress. Rallies were held. Celebrities
appeared and supported traditional American
liberty.
The final blow was struck with the passage
of the Dietary Supplement Health Act of 1994
(DSHEA). It appeared to promise the results
citizens were looking for. The FDA would
not be permitted to limit access to the full
range of nutritional supplements.
Then the furor died down and people went
back to their lives. The internet grew into
a giant. Millions of pages discussing
health issues appeared. More freedom. More
access.
But there has been an overall dampening of
that spirit of the early 90s. Many people
believe the major battle has been won.
To examine whether this is the case, and
whether the DSHEA Law is actually keeping
Americans safe, I interviewed a widely
revered lawyer, Jonathan Emord.

Chronic Lyme Disease: Battle Requires Attack on Multiple Fronts
February 20th, 2008 - Most people
battling chronic Lyme disease think of the illness as an infection caused by a
bacterium known commonly as Borrelia Burgdorferi, generally transmitted via
the bite of an infected tick. What many don’t recognize, however, is that
recovery from chronic Lyme disease requires a recognition that the disease is
truly a much more complex illness. Recovery often challenges one to consider
more than just infection as the single causative agent involved in the disease
process. It is through looking beyond the infectious component of Lyme
disease and understanding the equally important aspects of damaging heavy
metals and other toxic insults that a more full and lasting recovery may be
realized.
Garry F. Gordon MD, DO, MD (H) co-founded the
American
College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM) and serves as the President of
Gordon Research Institute. Dr. Gordon graciously spent a couple of hours
with me sharing his views on chronic Lyme disease and those factors that are
important in recovering from chronic illness.
Dr. Gordon acknowledges Lyme disease as a
serious infection which can lead to a wide-variety of health challenges. He
does not, however, hyperfocus on the specific tick-borne pathogens which cause
the disease. He instead believes that a multitude of infections are prevalent
in anyone with chronic ill health. In addition to these numerous infections,
our state of health is closely tied to our total body burden of endogenous and
exogenous toxins. When looking at why illness is present, it is important to
look at a number of factors including genetics, chronic infections, and total
body burden of heavy metals and other toxins.

May 21st, 2007
- The tipping point against mercury fillings, my
friends, has arrived. A dentist magazine surveyed its dentist readers, and
finds that 52% of American dentists now are mercury-free.
Wow.
This new dentist majority brings colossal ramifications upon America ’s
protectors of mercury fillings -- the American Dental Association and the
Food and Drug Administration.
I
wrote the head of the ADA to inform him that the ADA has missed the boat by
not exiting the mercury fillings business last year. (I even went to
Chicago in December to
hand them a graceful exit plan.) Choosing instead to stay mired in the 19th
century, ADA ’s pro-mercury members are likely to be picked off via lawsuits,
one-by-ones. The ADA , I advised Dr. Bramson, will morph into a numerical
shadow of itself, as its members wake up to the fact that this rallying around
mercury has been a sham;
With
this new evidence, if the ADA refuses to warn its dwindling band of
pro-mercury dentists to abandon mercury, the ADA likewise will be sitting in

- 35th Session of the Codex Committee
on Food Labeling (Ottawa, Canada),
April
30 - May 4, 2007
By Cheri Tips - Executive Director - National
Health Federation (NHF)
May 10th, 2007 -
Note
- The NHF had two important objectives in this Ottawa meeting - (1)
keeping Genetically-Modified (GM) foods labeled as such, word-wide, and (2)
insuring that foods could make health claims. Despite fierce opposition
they accomplished both objectives. - Tim Bolen
The National Health Federation (NHF) has
International Nongovernmental Organization (INGO) observer status at all Codex
Alimentarius meetings and represents the interests of health-conscious
consumers. There were numerous countries and other INGOs present, interested
in various matters from labeling of genetically-modified foods to the labeling
of organic foods.
Importantly, too, the subject of the FAO/WHO's Global
Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity, and Health was discussed. MORE
Does Aspartame multiply female MS? - New Study
Report at Neurology Conference...
By:
Dr. Betty Martini, D.Hum, Founder - Mission Possible
International
May 7th, 2007 - About 400,000 people in
the US are victims of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a
horrible autoimmune disease that devastates the
central nervous system.
At
the American Academy of Neurology’s annual meeting,
Dr. Gary Cutter, professor of Biostatistics at the
University of Alabama, said women are now four times
as likely as men to get multiple sclerosis: “It
started at two-to-one and is now four-to-one.”
Researchers found the ratio of women-to-men is
increasing by about 50 percent each decade.
The increase is
more pronounced in younger people with young women
especially contracting it at an accelerating rate.

The Mushroom Cloud
that Caused Autism
Opinion by:
Kenneth Stoller, MD, FAAP with Anne McElroy Dachel
May 3rd, 2007
-
In the
first article in this series on autism, a
mercurial finger was pointed at the high level of
mercury children received from their vaccines and
the huge upswing in the autism rate. It was noted
that the background level of mercury pollution from
coal-fire power plants and other sources (such as
dental amalgam) was so high that one in every six
women in the US has a level of mercury in her body
high enough to affect her children’s health.
The cost to society of these affected children
amounts to billions of dollars annually, and the
ultimate cost of caring for all those disabled will
cost trillions. Lastly, the point was made that this
isn’t so much about autism as it is about the future
of human life on this planet if we don’t stop
mercury pollution.
Concerning the issue of autism, the press has failed to present
both sides in the heated debate over a possible link between vaccines and this
devastating disorder. The last word is often given to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, without any mention of the vast web of conflict of
interest ties between CDC employees and the pharmaceutical industry. MORE
Throwing children into oncoming traffic: The truth about Autism
By: Kenneth
Stoller, MD, FAAP with Anne McElroy Dachel
April
24th, 2007 - I have been a
practicing pediatrician for over 20 years. I saw my first child with autism in
the early 90’s – before that I had never seen an autistic child, and I never
saw an autistic child in all my years at school. The boy was 4 years old and
you could see the frustration in his face as he wanted to speak but nothing
intelligible would come from his mouth except shrieks of anguish.
As I studied
his tortured face, it was as if there was an old time telephone switchboard
operator inside his head trying to plug in the correct phone cables but not
being able to complete the call. This family had known me from an old practice
I worked at in another city, but they had traveled to see me because they
trusted me and were looking for answers that
no
one seemed to have for them, but I too had no answers and I could see the mom
was greatly disappointed. After the family left my office I poured over a few
dusty textbooks and wondered if I had just seen a very rare disorder, a
disorder that affected one child in 10,000 children…autism.

MY VIEW OF THE BIGGER PICTURE
A Guest Commentary
by:
Steven C. Eisen, DC
October 20, 2005 - On October 13,
2005, notorious self-proclaimed consumer medical advocate,
Stephen Barrett’s defamation lawsuit against Dr. Tedd Koren was
thrown out of court after a grueling three and a half day
trial. To the unknowing observer, this may seem insignificant,
but in no uncertain terms, it was a big victory for the battle
of freedom and rights of all individuals to select the health
care of their choice.
The American
Medical Association has a long standing history of trying to
monopolize health care in the United States by eliminating
competition. In Wilk v. AMA a Federal court ruled that
the AMA and other individuals and organizations had conspired to
contain and eliminate the practice of chiropractic. The court
found that the AMA and it’s officials instituted a boycott of
chiropractors and made it unethical for a medical doctor to
associate with chiropractors.
