“A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rightswhich God has given them cannot be enslaved.It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.” Benjamin Franklin(1706-1790) US Founding Father

Hi Jay this is Daniel we spoke today about the 12 young Lady s from Leroy. I just wanted to say thanks for helping in our concerned citizen investigation we have found you to be helpful. I can tell your as sincere in your concerns as we are. First thing I want to tell you is that we are not interested in doing a hit peace on anyone or any organization. As you know I spoke to you about the vaccine connection to this epidemic that the mainstream media is ignoring.

The documentary that we are working on is going to present a alternative view of this epidemic that is happening in Leroy  http://www.awareandprepare.com/gardasil-and-flu-vaccine-linked-to-tourettes/  Jay I have looked into this connection to bad vaccines and I believe it is our duty to be watchmen on the wall. “But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.” Ezekiel 33:6 As you see Jay we are just trying to do our duty in being good citizens and as a Dad my self my heart goes out to all the family who have been effected in this tragic event! How many more of our children must be hurt in order for the big Vaccine corporations to profit at our children s expense?Daniel J Leach Jr1(585)236-9858

Government Cover-Up of Tics and Tourettes-Like Symptoms at LeRoy, N.Y., High School!

One of the girls’ family member has, in an online forum, released a statement saying that her cousin indeed developed these symptoms just after receiving her third Gardasil shot and Flu Vaccine in Leroy, N.Y.

When the news first broke that 12 girls in LeRoy, NY, had suddenly been afflicted with neurological symptoms, many people suspected Gardasil as the cause. Yet, authorities stated that they had ruled out vaccines as a potential cause. But now, a family member of one of the girls has come forward in an online forum and stated that in fact her cousin did develop these symptoms right after receiving her third Gardasil shot. We are witnessing another vaccine damage coverup!

My cousin is one of the girls. Once I heard what was going on with her I asked my dad if he knew if she had received the gardasil shot recently. He knew nothing about the shot or what it can do. So he called my Uncle and guess what? She had just had the third dose when her symptoms were so bad she could no longer walk. So far all of her doctors and specialists have denied that there could be any relationship. Rediculous. and worse her parents, according to my dad, had no idea that gardasil could lead to any of those symptoms. Sooo glad I looked into vaxing when I did and stopped with my ODS and do not vax my other children. I can’t believe this is news you all have heard of!

We at the Anti New World Order Party believe that Erin Brockovich is being brought in to take your eye off the ball and to be a distraction from the big picture and thats obviously the poison in the Vaccines!  Id like to see all of the girls who have been infected by this illness come out in the open and say weather they have taken any of the Vaccines in the last 12 months.  If your a family Member or are a friend of one of these girls I would like to interview them about the Vaccines that they took.  Together we can expose this Cover up by the government and have those responsible for this cover up brought to justice!

National environmental groups such as one led by environmental activist Erin Brockovich, and others are in LeRoy this weekend to launch their own investigation. Brockovich’s team visited the LeRoy Junior-Senior High School on Saturday, and other parts of the town to get some ground samples they believe could shed some light on why a cluster of female students at the school developed tics, twitches and verbal outbursts last fall. One incident they are focusing on is a train derailment that happened near the high school 40-years ago. The industrial solvent trichlorothene, also known as “TCE” was spilled in the derailment 3 miles from the school. Environmental Investigator Bob Bowcock said, “I understand this school was built on old swamp lands so if you’ve reconfigured the ground water aquifer capability of breaching the surface, all those different things could have caused a released of the “TCE” into the surface environment from the subsurface environment.” School Superintendent Kim Cox stopped by the school to issue this statement saying, “Certainly anything that’s being taken, samples or anything being taken in the nature of this would be considered invalid because its not going through the appropriate protocols, and the district is working to do that an so that’s where our statement is.” School Superintendent Kim Cox

Life Is Good When You’re Fighting for Liberty

I will say it again: “Life is good when you’re fighting for Liberty” (Daniel J. Leach, Jr.).

I’m just like the average guy: I go to work and pay my bills when I can and love to be a daddy to my baby girl Ella. But just like the average guy in America I have my struggles just like anyone. We all have are bad habits “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23).

I have found my path and my purpose in life when God gave me a second chance in this life to get right with him! I’ve been called to a higher purpose to something greater than myself! “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty” (1 Cor. 1:27); I am just a humble man powerless without the guidance from my Father in heaven. I say that he had put his words in my heart and mind and has made me a better man for knowing his words from the Holy Bible.

It was said “I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see” (Amazing Grace). It’s like my soul has been revived turned from death to life. I’ve grown a heart; words cannot express my heart’s love for humanity. I think that the good in the world is worth fighting for. That is why I do what I do for my Country and for the people of the world, to try and make this world a better place for my family and yours! “It does not take a majority to prevail…but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men” (Samuel Adams).

Liberation through Education is my motto! “My people perish from a lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6, KJV). That is why the Anti New World Order Party is a non-violent organization based on brotherly love we follow the words of Christ Jesus and the holy prophets He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself” (Luke 10:27). “THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD.” You use this proverb to say that you can solve problems or achieve your purpose better and more effectively through communication with words than by violence with weapons. Edward George Bulwer Lytton (1803-1873), an English novelist, wrote this for the first time in 1839. He wrote, “Beneath the rule of men entirely great, the pen is mightier than the sword.”

It’s up to us, “we the people,” to keep the governments accountable. “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing” (Edmund Burke). We have to hold feet to the fire to get positive results in favor of Liberty and Freedom. I know that I will not move mountains without Faith and hard work but I do have the faith of a mustard seed, and it was once said, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” (Christ Jesus).

Will you join me in faith and good works? So that we will do our best to make this world a better place to live for all our families whom God loves!

Erin Brockovich Team to Test Ground Samples at Leroy High School Ground…BUT Will They Dismiss Poison in the Vaccines?

The Great Erin Brockovich and her Team are set to test ground samples at Leroy High School. That’s good. But the real question serious citizen investigators are asking is this: Will she also dismiss the poisons in the vaccines and their connection to the Tourette-like tics and other symptoms in our children that the mainstream media obstinately refuses to scrutinize! Why? Because they don’t want you to know the truth about Vaccines!

Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance.” —Albert Einstein.  In my previouse blog post I have shown the connection to Vaccines, the Tics and Tourette-like illness!

Media Protects Deadly Vaccines

Posted on 17 January

Once again the Mainstream Media is covering up the the fact that Vaccines can Cause bodily injury.  The mainstream news has failed to show the connection between Vaccines and Tics a Tourette-like illness in high school teen girl students at a Leroy High school in NY State.

Much like the Bilderberg group that makes the mainstream press part of the conspiracy of silence, causing them to ignore major story’s that would protect the American people.  For Lack of Knowledge My People Perish (Hosea 4:6)

“We are grateful to The Washington Post, New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years” . David Rockefeller (1991)Bilderberg Group

Shame on you Mainstream Media the People’s blood is on your hands  you will all be judged by God one day.  “If You Warn Not the People, Their Blood Is on Your Hand! … he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.”Eze 33    But its seems that the people already have made a judgement against you because your a dying trade.

Vaccine Research
on Thimerosal:
Tics and More

Have you seen any articles in the media emphasizing that thimerosal in vaccines is a cause of tics?  Me neither, but we should have.

This article summarizes four studies on the use of thimerosal in vaccines and its effect on neurodevelopmental delays. The research was published between 2004 and 2008.

It is striking that the development of tics was the most common consequence of the thimerosal exposure based on the study of select conditions. We should point out that there is some controversy regarding the statistical approaches used in the different studies, particularly because some studies do not show a link to autism while others do.

To read the abstracts for each study, click on the link below. Our short summary is provided to  show the consistent tic connection. As you will see, other neurological conditions were also found to be negatively affected by the thimerosal.

This discovery on the relationship between the toxin methylmercury and the development of tics is hugely important. First, it highlights the relationship between tics and neurotoxins. This should put families on alert that they should not only avoid all exposures to toxins but should also consider evaluation for toxic overload, with follow-up treatment plans developed as needed. Second, given the results of this research, thimerosal exposure should be avoided by those with tics and Tourette syndrome as well as pregnant women. It is currently standard in flu vaccines, but you can request to have the vaccine without the preservative Thimerosal.

Thimerosal exposure in infants and neurodevelopmental disorders: an assessment of computerized medical records in the Vaccine Safety Datalink.

Summarized results: Consistent significantly increased rate ratios were observed for autism, autism spectrum disorders, tics, attention deficit disorder, and emotional disturbances with Hg exposure from TCVs.

RESULTS: In phase I at HMO A, cumulative exposure at 3 months resulted in a significant positive association with tics.

Erin Brockovich and Team to Test Ground Samples at Leroy High School

By: Deanna King
Updated: January 24, 2012

Twelve girls who developed Tourette-like symptoms will undergo more tests this weekend.  The National Institutes of Health is stepping in to rule out other possible causes.  The girls will have a MRI and get checked for things like Lyme Disease Bacteria. A pediatric neurologist is also coming to town to rule out a disease called Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections.”These girls are getting sick like crazy up there.  We got four new cases over the weekend,” said James Dupont.   His daughter, Brooke, is one of 12 girls who have developed the uncontrollable tics.  Doctors treating the students diagnosed it as Conversion Disorder.  It means there are real symptoms, but no underlying cause.  Back in the day it was called Mass Hysteria.  Dupont isn’t buying it and wants the school grounds tested.  “If you read news articles from back then engineers were warning them not to build on that land because it was a known swamp and they didnt’ really know the past history of it,” said Dupont.Dupont says he has been contacted by other parents, outside of Leroy, whose children have similar symptoms.  In one case, a teenager who lives near Albany, documents her illness on YouTube.  Lori Brownell and her classmate both ate at a Leroy restaurant last summer.  It could just be a strange coincidence, but Dupont doesn’t want to take any chances.  In the next few days environmental activist, Erin Brockovich, is sending a team to test ground samples at the school.   “This is about getting the girls the proper help, finding the problem and correcting the problem,” said Dupont.  “It’s not about any gain for any one family.  That is not our intention.  We just want to get the kids better.”

This true story of a Special Forces officer in Vietnam in the mid-sixties will acquaint you with the unique nature of Special Operations Forces and how covert operations are developed and masked to permit — even sponsor — assassination, outright purposeful killing of innocents, illegal use of force and bizarre methods in combat operations.

Expendable Elite reveals the fear that these elite warriors share with no other military person — not the fear of the enemy they have been trained to fight in battle, but fear of the wrath of our government should they no longer be needed and find themselves classified as… expendable.

A centerpiece of this book is the CIA mission to assassinate Cambodian Crown Prince Norodum Sihanouk, the author’s unilateral aborting of the mission, and the drama surrounding the dispatch by the CIA of an ARVN regiment to attack, destroy the camp and kill every person in it as retribution for standing up against the CIA.

The dramatic rescue by ARVN LTG Quang Van Dang of eight American Green Berets and hundreds of South Vietnamese will capture your curiosity and whet your appetite for more in this ongoing SPECIAL OPERATIONS series.

The Ron Paul 2012 of Rochester, N.Y., Meetup Group: Control Freaks Gone Wild!

danieljleachjr

I was encouraged by some of my fellow Ron Paul 2012 Patriot Campaign supporters to make a post on the Daily Paul some who also have been banned and kicked out of the Rochester Ron Paul meetup group.  Why? Because they are free thinking Patriot Americans like myself not afraid to speak up for what they believe.

“In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”

Mark Twain

How do you like this I applied and was trying to join this meetup Ron Paul 2012 Campaign meetup group in Rochester NY and this was the response that I was sent by the Organizer Mike Deming of 1310 AM.  I was not given a reason or explanation for why!

You have been removed from Ron Paul Rochester 2012.

If you’d like to follow up with this group’s Organizers, 
contact them here:
http://www.meetup.com/Ron-Paul-Rochester-2012/suggestion/ 

I know this is a private group, and not all the people in the group are Control Freaks or fools I have a few people in the group who are people I would call Friends or are they really just Frenemy!  but if I was a real jerk I would  scream discrimination or call the main stream media and complain. Not that they would listen or anything but I would not do that because it would make Ron Paul look Bad, because of one simple minded control freak!  I personally like and support Ron Paul for the 2012 presidential nomination.   I just wanted to see what would happen if I tried to join a group organized  by a Neo-Con, Liberal turned Republican!

It was best said that “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

― Marcus Tullius Cicero

I don’t think that the leader of the group is a traitor or has gone the way of treason but I do feel that they have made a mistake in acting like fools.  I have dealt with these kinda people who call themselves Patriots but act more like dictator’s and tyrants or how I best said in the title of this blog CONTROL FREAKS!  So if you want to be told what to do and how to think by all means join that group of Followers!   

Why Rand Paul Refused a TSA Pat Down, Missed Flight to D.C.

Why Rand Paul Refused a TSA Pat Down, Missed Flight to D.C.

Sen. Rand Paul refused a pat down by TSA agents after a scanner found an ‘anomaly’ on his knee. Rand Paul is a critic of TSA practices.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

US Sen. Rand Paul says he was stopped briefly by TSA agents security at the Nashville airport when a scanner found an “anomaly” on his knee.

The Republican who frequently uses the airport about an hour from his Bowling Green, Ky., home told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that he asked for another scan but refused a pat down by airport security. He said he was “detained” at a small cubicle.  He was later escorted out of the airport by local authorities and missed his flight to Washington for a Senate session. .

Paul’s communication director Moira Bagley, (@moirabagley,) tweeted at about 10 a.m.: “Just got a call from @senrandpaul. He’s currently being detained by TSA in Nashville.”

RECOMMENDED: TSA Screenings: What are your rights?

Paul, the son of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, said the situation reflects his long-standing concern that the TSA shouldn’t be “spending so much time with people who wouldn’t attack us.”

In September 2011 Congressional hearing, Sen. Paul said, “When the TSA head [John S] Pistole was here, he said, well, we need to do these invasive searches … absolutely, we have to because an 8-year old in Kandahar exploded a bomb. To me that shows a bit of naivete to think that somehow there’s a similarity between an 8-year old in Kandahar and an 8-year old in Bowling Green, Kentucky.”

Paul added: “We have to bring some sense to what we’re doing in this country … we treat everybody equally as a terrorist suspect.”

The TSA responded to today’s incident:

“When an irregularity is found during the TSA screening process, it must be resolved prior to allowing a passenger to proceed to the secure area of the airport,” according to an official statement released by TSA. “Passengers who refuse to complete the screening process cannot be granted access to the secure area in order to ensure the safety of others traveling.”

RECOMMENDED: TSA Screenings: What are your rights?
