Help me END Autism – NOW!

A Starting Point…

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

“Note from Tim Bolen – Autism (Severe Vaccine Damage) is the elephant in the room no one in authority wants to talk about.  Why?  It is too horrible to contemplate – especially to admit that vaccines did this, so, as Kent, and millions of parents, and grand-parents, have found out, there is NO OFFICIAL EFFORT, WHAT-SO-EVER, to cure, mitigate, repair, or even ACKNOWLEDGE that there are ways to turn vaccine-damage around…”

As of this writing there are a little more than eight hundred signatures on my White House petition regarding Suramin and autism.

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/suramin-autism-and-other-conditions

I’m genuinely please by these numbers, although I know we still have a little more than 99,000 signatures to go.

As English Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once said, “First you have to win the argument.  Then you win the vote.”

As many of you are probably aware from my previous articles, Suramin was developed more than a hundred years ago to treat African Sleeping Sickness, a disease caused by a parasite.  Unknown at the time was exactly how this parasite caused the disease.

I have an idea.

Normally, a properly functioning body would rid itself of a parasite.  Therefore, a parasite would probably need to disable the body in some fashion, but not in a manner so severe as to cause the death of the host organism.

That’s where Dr. Robert Naviaux of the University of California, San Diego and his CELL DANGER THEORY comes in.  Now, the cell danger theory did not originate with Dr. Naviaux.  It has been around for quite some time.  Dr. Naviaux’s creative insight was to see if it could be applied to conditions like autism or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), or many of the other chronic diseases which are on the rise in our society.

The cell danger theory holds that when the cells detect a potentially dangerous threat (a chemical, virus, or other micro-organism), they respond by shutting down communication with other cells.  It is possible for this signal to get “stuck,” creating a chronic health condition.

Please feel free to insert your own explanation as to what danger might cause the cells of a person to feel that there was an imminent danger in the neighborhood and they all had to go quiet like a baby deer in the forest.  Your answer is just as likely to be right as mine.  But that’s not what we’re talking about.  We just want the cells to start TALKING TO EACH OTHER again.

Suramin tells the cells it’s safe to start communicating with each other again.

Naviaux was able to find evidence of this abnormal cellular communication by optimizing his mass spectrometer to find a unique pattern of metabolites (cellular signaling molecules) which were disrupted in autism and in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

In three different animal studies, he was able to use Suramin (antipurinergic therapy) to restore cellular communication.

The Democratic Party Collapse…

It Is Here Right Now..

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

When I was younger I wrote a great deal about politics and many thought I’d eventually run for office.  I mean, isn’t that the eventual goal of everybody who writes about politics?  It’s just the platform they’re using to get to the next step?

But my college roommate had a different take.  He said, “Kent, you’re doing just what you want to do, writing about what you think is important.  There is no next step for you.”

So there you have it.  

For the last fifteen years I’ve been consumed with autism, the corrupt vaccine schedule, and the political patterns which have allowed this holocaust to rage unchecked in our world.

Yes, I will use the word, holocaust.

Let me say it clearly: Both democratic and republican politicians have allowed this holocaust to rage unchecked.  Republicans may be salvageable at this point. Democrats have embraced lunacy and nothing short of an intervention will save them.

From my knowledge of history I can tell you that I could have easily been an FDR democrat, a Harry Truman democrat, a John F. Kennedy democrat, and although it may come as a shock to some, I voted for Bill Clinton twice, and was happy to do it. (You see, no political party really wants me, because I’m not anybody’s ‘reliable’ vote.)

Aside from his significant personal failings, Bill Clinton is the model democrats should be following in the wake of the Trump victory, but probably will not. Politics is the art of persuasion, not shouting down those who disagree with you. It also helps if you understand the weaknesses of your own arguments and the strengths of your opponents arguments.

After the democrats had lost five out of the last six presidential elections (Nixon, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Reagan, Bush), Clinton founded the Southern Democratic Leadership Council.  The goal was to figure out why democrats kept losing.  There were strategies that democrats could embrace that allowed them to win and he wanted to find them.

The Trump Card…

“Watch the documentary, VAXXED: From Cover-up to Catastrophe like I did and make up your own mind about vaccines and autism!  GREAT MOVIE!” – Donald J. Trump, June 10, 2017 to his 31.3 million Twitter followers.

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

 

It really shouldn’t be that difficult, should it?

Can you IMAGINE if President Trump actually sent out that tweet?

With that single action, President Trump would bypass the $5.4 billion dollars the pharmaceutical industry spends annually to fund, and control, the nightly news, their army of Washington lobbyists, and DESTROY the premise of the corrupt 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act which created the monstrosity known as “Vaccine Court.”

I know President Trump likes to win.  This would be a win for him.  In fact, the autism community has been winning so much, I’m starting to get a little tired.

First, there was the delicious Ian Lipkin-Mady Hornig law suit death match which revealed the unbelievably bad behavior of Ian Lipkin, like dropping his drawers in front of his ex-lover so she could examine a lesion on his ass.  Then when she expressed some discomfort, he told her that it was her job as medical director of the Center for Immunity and Infection to look at his hairy ass.  I CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

Battle for the “Iron Throne” of Science at Columbia University…

Opinion by Kent Heckenlively, JD

I have come to the conclusion that many of my dear brothers and sisters in the autism community are suffering from “Stockholm Syndrome” in what has developed as the Ian Lipkin vs. Mady Hornig battle for the Iron Throne of Science at Columbia University.

“Stockholm Syndrome” is a condition in which hostages develop a psychological alliance with their captors.  Before you think I am being flippant or rude, I ask you to hear me out.

Lipkin is probably just as much of a sexist, controlling tyrant as Hornig paints him to be.  But the greater crimes are the ones in which both of them have participated.

I am a middle school science teacher.  If you walked the halls of my school you might see posters proclaiming the “Ten Pillars of Character”, of which the first is honesty.

Another poster might read, “Integrity is doing the right thing when NOBODY is watching.”  

Those are the values of my school.  Those are my values. And I believe those should be the values we demand of our scientists.  Are you still with me?  Have I said anything offensive, yet?

If in the course of my teaching I slammed a student’s head into a wall and caused permanent brain damage I would rightly be fired, prosecuted, and sent to jail.

Let’s cut to the chase…

By their actions, Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig have allowed EXACTLY that to happen to millions of children in the United States and around the world. Pediatricians are still giving dangerous vaccines to children, the schools are still struggling under the weight of trying to educate vaccine-injured children, and every week we can look forward to news of some of these children dying from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or wandering away from their caretakers and drowning in lakes and rivers, or from exposure.

All of this remains UNACKNOWLEDGED by our news media.

And yet there are those who want to take the side of Mady Hornig as an abused woman, who is BRAVELY trying to battle a bad man and scientist.

PLEASE!

I have absolutely no hesitation in telling you that I will gleefully pull up a chair with my bowl of hot buttered popcorn, and watch this spectacle unfold.

Hornig’s claims to date are ONLY that Lipkin is a bad man AND probably a FELON due to misuse of federal research funds, BUT NOT THAT HIS SCIENCE IS A LIE WHICH HAS DAMAGED MILLIONS OF CHILDREN.

It is common for me as a teacher to deal with students who tell each other to “Shut up!”  Yes, sometimes I’ll send them to the principal’s office and sometimes we’ll sit down and talk with their parents about proper behavior.  But never do I have to sit a student down and explain why it’s wrong to lie and cause harm to millions of people.

I know that every single student would give the correct answer to the question:  “It is okay to lie and harm millions of people if it allows you to keep your job at a prestigious university.  True or false?  ______________________.”

It really is pretty simple to me.  Tell the truth.

To me, Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig have taken every one of you hostage by the lies they have told about vaccines.

They have taken you hostage when your doctors don’t believe you.  Because who have your doctors listened to?  The dynamic duo from Columbia University, aided and abetted by the pharmaceutical industry and the Centers for Disease Control.

Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig have taken every one of you hostage when your friends don’t believe you.

Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig have taken every one of you hostage when your family members don’t believe you.

Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig have taken every one of you hostage when your marriages break up, when your bank accounts are bled dry as you try to heal your damaged child, or when you long for the day your child will have a conversation with you, or be able to use the bathroom on their own.

This has gone on since at least 2004, when they first looked into the question of mercury in vaccines and the development of autism.  That is thirteen years.

How many of you would like those thirteen years back, with your doctors, and your family and friends believing you?

Andrew Wakefield’s Accusers Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig – Publicly “Exposed” and Humiliated…

Columbia Professor Says Boss Made Her Inspect His ButtNew York Post, May 20, 2017

“A Columbia University scientist claims her boss – and former lover – repeatedly dropped his drawers and demanded she diagnose a lesion on his butt.”

Associate Professor Mady Hornig says her boss at the university’s Mailman School of Public Health [Ian Lipkin] also demanded co-credit for her work; kicked her under the table at meetings to keep her from speaking; presented her work as his own, and kept her from getting tenure, Hornig claims in a Manhattan federal court lawsuit.”

By Kent Heckenlively, JD

Sometimes reality far outstrips the imagination of even the greatest fiction writer.  For those of you unfamiliar with the dynamic duo of Ian Lipkin and Mady Hornig, let me clue you in.

This is the team that went after Dr. Andrew Wakefield

and his claims of a connection between the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine and autism with a vengeance.

They are also the same duo that went after Dr. Judy Mikovits and her findings

of a retrovirus being linked to the development of chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

Do I need to tell any of you that their investigations of both Wakefield and Mikovits were biased, dishonest, and corrupt?

Mady Hornig and Ian Lipkin “Hot for Research.”

And those are the nicest words I can think to use to describe their studies.

Got it? These are the two scumbag scientists that millions of sick people and their families have to thank for derailing the work of good scientists who were trying to alleviate human suffering.

I even have an entire chapter entitled “The Lipkin-Hornig Team” in my new book, INOCULATED: How Science Lost its Soul in Autism.

Greg Gutfeld – The World Needs Your Help!

Can You Be the Giant-Killer Who Brings Down the Pharma Colussus?

By Kent Heckenlively, J.D.

Greg, sometimes it takes a funny man to be the right kind of hero.

Think of all the action heroes we love from the movies, Iron Man, Indiana Jones, John McClain (Bruce Willis in the Die Hard movies), or even my personal favorite, Daredevil.

You’ve got the humor.  Now, do you have the kind of heart necessary for this fight?  As Bill Nye might say (before he got old and creepy) “Consider the following!”

This is what Robert Kennedy, Jr. said at the Revolution for Truth Rally on March 31, 2017 in Washington, D.C.

Kennedy said, “The press has been compromised, 5.4 billion dollars annually [from the pharmaceutical industry]. I talked to Roger Ailes, who I’ve known since I was seventeen years old. He was very sympathetic with this issue. He saw the film, Trace Amounts. I said to him, ‘I just want to go on one of your shows. Nobody will allow me to talk about this or debate me.’

He said to me, ‘I can’t allow you on any of them. I would have to fire any of my hosts who allowed you on my station. Because,’ he said, ‘my news division gets up to 70% of advertising revenues during non-election years from the pharmaceutical companies.’ And if you turn on the evening news, you will see it’s just a vehicle for selling pharmaceutical ads. So the press is gone.” (Kennedy speech at the Revolution for Truth Rally, Washington D.C., March 31, 2017, www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KEoMNxxJRc, 31:40-31:30)

Greg, you know that’s not journalism.

That’s corruption.  That’s evil.  That’s God, the devil and the fate of humanity hanging in the balance.  Just the kind of fight for a guy like you.  Save the world, give us a funny one-liner, then head out to the bar for a beer.  You’ve seen it a thousand times in the movies.  You know what you’re supposed to do.

I say this as a friend. I have generally liked Fox News. I believe that no other network has been as fearless in taking on the liberal narrative of the mainstream media. I consider myself a libertarian. If it’s big, it’s probably bad. If force has to be used to get people to do something, it probably means their liberty is being taken away. Show me a big government, and I will tell you it’s probably corrupt. Show me a big company, and I will say the same. I strongly believe in the idea that eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.

If I have liked Fox News, I have LOVED your irreverent humor.

I must confess that when I watch your show, I often have fantasies of sitting with your fellow guests on the couch and when you get to me you say, “Kent Heckenlively, he’s so sharp that butcher knives live in fear of him!”

Like you, I don’t follow the pack. I was encouraged to read a statement from you recently in which you said, “I became a conservative by being around liberals and I became a libertarian by being around conservatives. You realize that there’s something distinctly in common between the two groups, the left and the right; the worst part of each of them is the moralizing.”

You will need such courage if you are to follow my advice.

But I think you are up to the challenge. You see, I think really funny people are usually the most courageous. Left to my own devices, and without an evil of unparalleled proportions bearing down on humanity, I’d probably strike most people as a lovable goof-ball like you.

However, given current conditions, I have no choice but to saddle up and go all Star-Lord like Chris Pratt in “Guardians of the Galaxy.” It’s just the way I’m wired.

You know Fox News is in a time of upheaval. Roger Ailes is gone and the Murdoch kids are trying to figure out what to do with you, as if you are an island of misfit toys. I don’t believe that the rule quoted by Robert Ailes to Kennedy is applicable to you.

Vaccines – Are They the New “Crimes Against Humanity?”

Part 2…

By Elissa Meininger – Health Policy Analyst

In Part 1 we saw how the science, and the people involved with developing vaccines, have been completely corrupted in order to support America’s mandatory vaccines policy – no matter what.

What we didn’t mention were two of the most influential medical associations that are primary promoters of mandatory vaccines for all children…no matter what!  They should most certainly be included in the IG Farben-like cabal that has been created and enforce compulsory vaccines in America.

“The American Medical Association (AMA), one of the largest and most influential associations of medical doctors in the country, today endorsed putting an end to religious exemptions to immunization requirements.

“Under new policy, the AMA will seek more stringent state immunization requirements to allow exemptions only for medical reasons,” the organization said in a press release.”

Similarly, the American Academy of Pediatrics, whose members make much of their living vaccinating children during their “well baby visits”, are in the front lines in the campaign to vaccinate all children in America.

These two groups, along with all the other organizations, civic groups included, not to mention members of the press who refuse to do their due diligence as watchdogs of our government, should all be considered part of the American IG Farben-like cabal of common interests.

After WWII, the people responsible for IG Farben’s group behavior were those who were put on trial at the Nazi War Crimes Trials at Nuremberg.  The hideous nature of their crimes against humanity resulted in the creation of the Nuremberg Code.

In short, the Nuremberg Code basically states that:

The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment. The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.”

 Politics Make Strange Bedfellows…

For committed Anti-Trumpers, no matter what, this info is for you.

When you are active in politics, you quickly learn that the folks who are your bitterest enemies in some political fight this week may turn out to be your greatest allies in the next big fight.  The issue of compulsory vaccinations is one of those fights.

Donald Trump  announced during the campaign he believed that vaccines caused autism.  Even before he took office, he asked Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to head up a commission to get to the bottom of the corrupt science at the CDC regarding vaccines.  He then appointed Tom Price, MD to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Why is that important?  Because Dr. Price has been a longtime member of the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons.

This is their official position on mandatory vaccines…….

The AutismOne 2017 Conference is May 24-28!!!

Let’s get packing!

By Candyce Estave

It was just a few years ago that I started attending the AutismOne Conferences.

I was up to my ears in vaccine-induced autism. Our co-pays for my son’s therapies were high. I was dirt poor, often having to choose between bills and therapies the pediatricians or schools recommend for children like my son. I knew I needed more education on how my son’s diagnosis of autism affected him individually. I felt overwhelmed by the IEP process, fighting to get his needs met, and the emotional trauma of the grieving process I experienced after seeing my boy clearly regress into “autism.”

“Regressive autism.

Every parent who saw what I saw experienced the same turmoil: the future of their beloved child would not be one of celebrations.

We were told by “experts” that our boy might never talk, be toilet trained, or have a productive life.  Worse, we were virtually told that there was nothing we could do…that the prognosis was grim, lifelong, and forever. Our dreams were crushed. The kid we knew was gone. We were depressed to say the least. I was financially tapped and emotionally devastated.

Fortunately, and unlike the situation with so many other families, I have a supportive sibling. I called my brother because I knew he had sky miles. I asked if he could get me to the AutismOne Conference in Chicago so that I could learn how to better help my son. My brother so kindly arranged my flight, got me a hotel room, and helped with meals. He told me I needed to go and that I should arrange for childcare. I couldn’t afford registration, so I called AutismOne and was given a free pass.

I was gladly anticipating meeting Facebook friends there. Other educated parents are a fantastic resource for help. At the conference hotel, I settled into my room and headed across the courtyard to registration. I was like a fish out of water. I hadn’t been away from my children in years and felt socially inept. But it didn’t take long to realize that many parents were coming from the same place I was coming from.

Suddenly I was in a warm, friendly, place…

Kennedy and De Niro Throw Down the Gauntlet Against Vaccines…

By Kent Heckenlively, J.D.

If you are of a certain age and were ever interested in politics you probably went through a stage where you read everything you possibly could about Senator Robert Kennedy.  I know I did.  I still do.

Robert Kennedy Sr.

The reason Robert Kennedy, Sr. continues to attract and inspire us is because he demonstrated a continuing capacity to learn.  This was made clear to me in a recent book, Bobby Kennedy: The Making of a Liberal Icon by Larry Tye.  Kennedy demonstrated that rare trait in a politician of being moved by the times and circumstances in which he lived.

Robert Kennedy Jr.

This same trait has been shown by his son, Robert Kennedy, Jr., in his crusade to clean up our waterways from mercury, and now with his greater mission of protecting children from massive corruption at the Centers for Disease Control regarding vaccines and autism.

Heroes still live among us.

Robert De Niro

You don’t have to be interested in politics to feel like you know Robert De Niro.  You just have to be living on planet Earth.  From the Godfather movies to Goodfellas, Awakenings, and his comedic turns in movies like Meet the Parents, De Niro is our consummate tough guy, and as the years have passed, he seems almost like a conscience for the world.

Supporting the two men in a ‘war room’ nearby were Del Bigtree, the producer of VAXXED: From Cover-up to Catastrophe, autism activist, Becky Estepp, Dr. Brian Hooker, Lynne Redwood, and many others.  One participant, Jimmy said “Thank you, Bobby Kennedy.  Thank you Bob De Niro, you are kicking some serious ass out there.”

These two amazing men have joined forces and at the National Press Club in Washington D.C.

Before their talk they fielded more than 20 interviews with local and national and local media.

In an interview prior to their talk at the National Press Club, De Niro explained how he came to be part of this project.  He explained how the documentary VAXXED, caused such an uproar when it was accepted at the Tribeca Film Festival and that because of the controversy he made the decision to pull the film.

If I Could Address Autism One….

If I spoke at Autism One This Year, this is what I would say…

Opinion by KP Stoller, MD, www.incurable-me.com

Autism One is a nonprofit, parent-driven organization that provides education and supports advocacy efforts for children and families touched by an autism diagnosis.  This year it is being held from May 24th through the 28th, 2017 at the Hotel Elegante in Colorado Springs, CO.

They hold a conference once a year and it has been almost a decade since I last spoke at one of them, but I have a hankering to speak again because after all these years, and all the real science that has come to the fore, we are no closer to preventing the so-called autism epidemic then we were a decade ago.

But we COULD be…

I was tied up, this year, on a million different projects, and I forgot to put my name in to be a speaker for the Autism One conference in time to get on the speaker list – so they have me on the back-up list, in case someone can’t make it.  So I MIGHT see you there.

But, be there, or not, here’s what I’d tell you…

When Vaxxers Lose their F******* Minds

I have to say it’s feeling a lot like THE FRENCH REVOLUTION around the vaccine-autism issue these days.

By Kent Heckenlively, J.D.

Not really up on your history?

All you really need to know is that the French aristocrats who lost their heads in the Revolution were unbelievably blind to the reasonable calls for reform and engaged in monumentally stupid acts which ensured their complete destruction.

It’s one thing to be on the losing side of a fight. 

It’s another to know you’re losing. 

The white majority in South Africa knew they were losing to Nelson Mandela’s call for justice and they took actions which averted a catastrophe.  Even though the British ended up fighting a war with us, there were voices in England who thought that the whole affair was utter madness.  Eventually, their views prevailed.  Hell, even some Nazis could see where Hitler was leading them after D-Day and tried to change things by blowing him up.

But those Vaxxers, they’re an entire breed of STUPID unto themselves.

On the bonehead roll-call of history I think there are going to be two people topping the list, Peter Hotez, writing in The New York Times and Rachel Roberts writing for The Independent.

A New and Glorious Morn…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

America is about to see a new day.

You can feel it in the holiday air.  We called Christmas by its real name this year.

The shock waves across America of “Election Day 2016” are still very much in the air.  In the time leading up to, and including, November 8th, election day, both the Democratic and Republican Parties got a lesson in public wrath.

Candidates for public office, for the first time in a very long time, had Americans look them right in the eye and say – “these are the values that will get you elected. When we elect you follow THESE rules – or else…”

It was a moral and ethical uprising of the people, tearing down years of liberal amoral/immoral onslaught against American Judeo/Christian values.  The change will last – there will be, at least, eight years of it.

We, as Americans, are going to return to the family structure of our society.  We are simply NOT interested in having the likes of Hillary Clinton, or the quasi-liberal, globalist, “thirty-four (34) genders of human” promoters controlling our lives.  Obama’s legacy, throughout history, I think, will be his focus on trying to make a formula for Americans to determine which bathroom to use.

As though most of us don’t already know.

America is NOT going to be an Aldous Huxley “Brave New World” society just yet…

On January 20th, 2017 America will begin the turning of a corner, a return to those fundamentals that made America great, a place of pride for good reason.  Rejoice.

Trump Meets Dr. Wakefield

Even though you see the headline, and the photo, you don’t believe it, do you?

By Kent Heckenlively, J.D.

Could the new President-Elect of our country, Donald J. Trump, have really met with Dr. Andrew Wakefield?  You’ve probably heard the rumors, maybe you’ve even seen the video of Wakefield saying that Trump understands our concerns and will never allow mandatory vaccinations.  He goes onto say that he believes Trump will investigate the problems at the CDC, including the allegations of Dr. William Thompson.

It’s all true…

How do I know?

Because I interviewed two people who were at that meeting.  Do you want facts?  It took place on August 11, 2016 in Kissimmee, Florida and lasting a little under an hour from four to five in the afternoon.

And it’s all in my new book, INOCULATED: How Science Lost its Soul in Autism, available right now on Amazon.  Here’s a little bit of a tease for you:
