Anonymous Sounds Like the Pentagon/CIA Covert Ops, CIA is using the name ANONYMOUS to discredit them. a.k.a. “Legion” (Demon)

From day one I had a gut feeling about the group called Anonymouse, and that feeling was that these people who say   “We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.”  are working for the New World Order Bankster  Defacto Government!

But not all people who support Anonymous are bad my Patriot friend Roxxi Love Points out this that “Anonymous is not CIA, CIA is using the name ANONYMOUS to discredit them.”Roxii Love   And no I do not think your all conspiracy theorists your Patriot truth seekers like my self willing to lay your ass on the line for Freedom! All I offer is a well-meant critique intended to help Anonymous improve, Constructive criticism.

Why would Anonymous shut down a church website? That’s such BS its so not Liberty minded to do that! My intent is to point that out how UN Freedom minded this is! Destroy one mans Liberty’s and all will suffer. I don’t agree with all the Church stuff but I will defend the rights of what they have to say, they preach the Word of God! Its called Freedom of Speech protected by the constitution. Anonymous has the responsibly to protect all speech, weather they like it or not!

Legion (demon)

Legion is a group of demons referred to in the Christian Bible. The New Testament outlines an encounter where Jesus healed a man from Gadarenes possessed by demons while traveling, known as Exorcising the Gerasenes demonic.

I find it Ironic that these so called Hacktivists call themselves a pack of demons.  Its kinda like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.  I know plenty of patriots who have joined this group and really think that its a group that’s good for we the people.  I’m just glad that I have had Christian discernment and was blessed enough to see through all the glitter and glue!   I saw a trap being laid for we the people kinda like a Venus fly trap.  I’m sure that once the NWO Anonymous  see’s this Blog post they will hack our website! “During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” George Orwell

I just want to let Anonymous AKA the NWO Globalists Government operatives know though you may hack us and shut our website down that you can not make us submit to your Anti-Christ agenda.  “No man in the wrong can stand up against a fellow that’s in the right and… stand up against a fellow that’s in the right and keeps on a-comin‘”  “You can’t stop a man who knows he’s in the right, and just keeps a coming.”Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.”  Our Motto is Liberation Through Education, We will prevail we will achieve our goal of Freedom, Liberty and Justice for all.

We believe what Jesus said “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” Jesus Christ  So we of the Anti New World Order Party say peace and love to you Anonymous AKA NWO Globalist Government!  Unlike you we can forgive and forgive because that is the way of Christ Jesus our greatest example of Love! Jesus kept saying, “Father, forgive them, because they don’t know what they’re doing.” Then they divided his clothes among them by throwing dice.” Jesus Christ as he hung from the Crucifix!

“Wow, everyone better do what “Anonymous” says. Very telling that they are not interested in hacking brokerages or banks anymore- that was to gain the confidence of Occupiers. Now they are using racism as a distraction, but the aim has all along been to HIJACK any resistance to big government. Now they threaten to release e-mails etc. of anyone “they” don’t like- using fear and intimidation. GEE WHO DOES THAT? Sounds like Pentagon/CIA black ops- if you bought peanut butter at Wal-Mart on Tuesday, here comes the next e-mail dump. Scare people so that they don’t talk about ending the Fed, hemorrhaging trillions or “treason” like that. They could not hijack Occupy, so now campers get evicted etc. They could not hijack the T.E.A. Party/Ron Paul supporters either, so now info gets released. It’s retaliation, pure and simple, they are not interested in liberty, but preserving big government whatever it takes.

It sure sounds like someone is a sore loser…” Allen Russell

    What gave it away is what happens when an external threat does not instill the fear it is supposed to? Then it becomes an INTERNAL threat. Why is Anonymous so interested in the personal beliefs of thousands of Americans who may or may not have direct ties to Ron Paul? It is a guilt-by-association fallacy. For example:A Klansman attends a Klan Super Bowl party with a Mickey Mouse hat, a bag of Doritos, and a six-pack of Budweiser. Now are Disney, Frito-Lay, and Anheuser-Busch racist corporations now? Is Wal-Mart racist for selling all three products?It is ALL psychological warfare, and the only cure is to turn that ^$&^( cathode-ray tube hypnotic device off!
  • Allen Russell Please do use it in your blog. It’s important people realize all the angles the establisment is coming at us.
    “Roxxi is a Facebook friend who is a great American Patriot leader who also is working to promote freedom and Liberty.  Not all Patriots who support Anonymous are working against the freedoms and Liberty’s of we the people.  But like most big organizations they do get co-oped by the CIA!  So who can you trust when you have no name or face to hold accountable for such actions!”http://www.facebook.com/DanielJLeachJrforNYSenate
    Roxii Love dude you need to seriously quit with this shit and attempting to discredit anonymous. anonymous is not one man nor a group of men, it’s an idea freedom fighters are choosing to work under through internet infiltration for use of exposure of hidden secrets in governments and nwo agenda and exposing politicians and so forth. if you don’t know any hackers, personally, you have no place even talking about this.
    Roxii Love anonymous is not CIA, CIA is using the name ANONYMOUS to discredit them.
    Anonymous says:

    @antinewworldorderparty you do know it was not anonymous if you watch the video, it was a lone hacker that goes by the name jester, and he does not agree with what west buro has to say about the military, and protesting the burials of military personal. Which is wrong to do in the first place. Also, the woman in the video is a blatant moron and anonymous was showing her they CAN mess her site up. The video which she speaking to anonymous, she tells him “you cant do anything to our website.” and anon proved her wrong, in less than 5 minutes they breeched the page, and only uploaded a file. They did nothing wrong, they only DDoS the site. Which is NOT hacking.

Could the LeRoy 12 Mystery Epidemic Be Sensationalized by the N.Y. Media?

 Post Streptococcal Autoimmune Neurobehavioral Disorder

AKA

(( Neuro ‘Psychiatric’ Disorder))

 conversion/ fake disorder–

“This is not a mystery, it’s Post Streptococcal Autoimmune Neurobehavior Disorder. It can occurs -anytime even a year or two later- post having an infection, from the TOXINS of various strains of strep, depending upon an individuals immune system. Symptoms can come and go in the future, depending upon if an person with it becomes run down and their immune system compromised. Furthermore, the medical staff and school staff are well aware of this but have chosen to ignore it, preferring instead to sensationalize it in the media, that’s how I feel, as my son was diagnosed with this over 12 years ago and the NY State was sent his medical records. It’s downright foolish and dangerous to ignore this as health complications from strep can actually be fatal.”Deanna Bruce

Thanks Daniel & Elbee, One if the biggest problems that I can see- is that what was once called a Neurobehavior Disorder-years earlier has somehow now been coined a neuro ‘psychiatric’ disorder. An example of a reason-why it is so important to know when a person has a Post Strep movement disorder – is that; for example what happened to a boy on my son’s hockey team -if a doc ever wrongly prescribes a stimulant i.e. ritalin for ADHD- that person can have life long devastating effects…seizures, limbs twisted in contortions. Left untreated- Strep can cause more than rheumatic fever. My son a couple of years ago -got a bit run down, and missed sleep playing soccer- yet, with a negative for strep throat swab, he went into kidney failure- later a blood titre 300 times too high -showed it actually was Strep related. Watch someone suffer in horrific pain, on a palliative unit- and the very thought of this being called a conversion/ fake disorder– is disgusting.
Deanna Bruce

As mentioned previously, the New York State Department of Health was given a medical record copy to prove what I am saying of the Strep titre / Neurologist who saw my son re: PANDAS 12 years ago/ and the kidney failure…..one would assumethe ‘right’ people have already seen it. The kids ought to be given an antibiotic at any rate….in case it helps their symptoms subside some. Personally, I’ve about given up trying to make it easy for Specialists there who are supposed to already know all this.

ABSTRACT

Clinicians have been faced with much publicity and contradictory scientific evidence regarding a recently described condition termed pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infection (PANDAS). It has been proposed that children with PANDAS experience tics, obsessive-compulsive behavior, and perhaps other neuropsychiatric symptoms as an autoimmune response to streptococcal infection. We review current scientific information and conclude that PANDAS remains a yet-unproven hypothesis. Until more definitive scientific proof is forthcoming, there seems to be insufficient evidence to support 1) routine microbiologic or serologic testing for group A streptococcus in children who present with neuropsychiatric symptoms or 2) the clinical use of antibiotic or immune-modifying therapies in such patients. The optimum diagnostic and therapeutic approach awaits the results of additional research studies.

Key Words:

With a description of 50 patients, Swedo et al1 proposed a hypothesis that childhood obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and/or tics may arise as a result of a poststreptococcal autoimmune process; the authors suggested the acronym PANDAS (pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections). It additionally was suggested that, by a process of molecular mimicry, somatic epitopes of the group A β-hemolytic streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes) (GABHS) evoke antibodies that are capable of cross-reacting with specific areas of the human brain (eg, the basal ganglia) to produce neuropsychiatric and behavioral symptoms. The authors hypothesized that this condition might be a forme fruste of the pathogenetic process thought to underlie Sydenham’s chorea and therefore also may be related to rheumatic fever.2,3 The observation that Sydenham’s chorea includes tics4 and sometimes obsessive-compulsive symptoms5contributed to the proposal that a poststreptococcal autoimmune mechanism(s) might lead to a more diverse neurobehavioral symptom spectrum. Subsequently, the clinical spectrum associated with this constellation of neuropsychiatric signs and symptoms (PANDAS) was proposed to include a number of additional manifestations including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder,6 myoclonus,7 dystonia,8 paroxysmal dyskinesias,9 acute disseminated encephalomyelitis,10 and anorexia nervosa.11

This PANDAS hypothesis has stimulated clinical and basic research and has resulted in considerable clinical and scientific controversy12–14; the controversy has influenced clinical care. Because of the implications for the primary care physician, the neurologist, the psychiatrist, the infectious disease specialist, the cardiologist (if it is to be considered part of the rheumatic fever complex, as is Sydenham’s chorea), and even the basic scientist, it is appropriate to objectively examine available information regarding the hypothesis and to provide recommendations for a current, optimal clinical approach to patients suspected of having PANDAS.

THE DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA: IS PANDAS AN ADEQUATELY DEFINED CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS?

Five criteria were proposed to define the PANDAS hypothesis1 (see Table 1).

TABLE 1.

National Institute of Mental Health Clinical Diagnostic Criteria for PANDAS

Criterion 1

As mentioned, several authors have suggested that tics and OCD may not be the only clinical features of PANDAS, and thus the true boundaries of the PANDAS clinical spectrum remain to be scientifically validated or standardized. Even considering only tics and OCD, the level and characteristics of symptom severity required for diagnosis have not been defined yet by controlled studies.

Criterion 2

The proposed age at onset, ranging between 3 years and the beginning of puberty, may be too arbitrary and may simply be the result of referral patterns for the 50 initially described patients. For example, the validity of the proposed age-at-onset criterion is raised by the report of a 25-year-old with sudden-onset OCD after pharyngitis.15 Furthermore, because the vast majority of typical Tourette’s syndrome (TS) manifestations (ie, tics) begin during the prepubertal period (75% having onset before 11 years old16), the age-at-onset criterion is not sufficiently specific in distinguishing PANDAS from the more established diagnostic criteria for TS.17 Recognizing a documented higher likelihood of exposure of schoolchildren to GABHS, no pathogenetic or immunologic basis has been confirmed to explain why the onset might be expected to include only young children.

Criterion 3

A unique specificity of a clinical course consisting of abrupt onset or dramatic exacerbations has not been documented adequately. With careful observation, tics are either present or not; thus, the onset (or parental awareness) of tic disorders is not gradual. Often with a sudden recognition of tics by parents, in retrospect a prior history of milder tics can be elicited, making the precise timing of clinical onset confusing. Experienced neurologists and psychiatrists are aware that tic disorders and OCD characteristically wax and wane spontaneously, with exacerbations followed by remissions. The degree of clinical change required for recognizing exacerbations to distinguish a “PANDAS-like process” from the typical course of more established tic and OCDs has not been differentiated or quantitated adequately. For example, 1 recent study of 80 consecutively examined (unselected) patients in a tic-disorders clinic found that 53% reported sudden, explosive onset or worsening of their tics.18 These patients were not considered to have met criteria for a diagnosis of PANDAS. Preliminary evaluation of our own ongoing, case-control epidemiologic study of PANDAS indicated that 36% of the carefully selected control subjects (who had no recognized link between symptoms and GABHS infection) also reported an abrupt onset or dramatic exacerbations (R. Kurlan, MD, unpublished data, 2003). Thus, clinical course does not seem particularly useful in distinguishing patients suspected of PANDAS from children with more typical cases of TS or OCD.

Criterion 4

Onset or exacerbations of neuropsychiatric symptoms temporally related to GABHS infection has been proposed as the sine qua non of the diagnosis of PANDAS. Yet, despite limited studies to establish this, it has not been documented adequately in prospective studies and remains 1 of the most controversial aspects of the hypothesis. GABHS infections are very common, and the prevalence of this organism in the upper respiratory tract of asymptomatic school children (“carriers”) often is relatively high.19 This epidemiologic phenomenon of high prevalence of GABHS has resulted in a number of other disease entities (among the best examples are Henoch-Schönlein purpura and Kawasaki disease), which also have been proposed to be associated with group A streptococcal infections. However, when adequately controlled studies were conducted, streptococci were eliminated as the causal factor.20 The confusion about the role of GABHS may be promoted further because, clinically, it is appreciated that tic disorders and OCD worsen during times of stress or illness of any kind. The worsening of symptoms might be expected with streptococcal upper respiratory tract infection and could even occur in the relatively large percentage of children who are asymptomatic streptococcal carriers if simultaneous stressful situations occur (from any other cause).

Additionally, review of published studies indicates that the temporal boundaries of a proposed “temporal” relationship with streptococcal infections have never been established. In Sydenham’s chorea, often cited as the model for PANDAS, the choreoathetoid movements typically appear 3 to 5 months after GABHS infection. Swedo et al1 implied that an infection up to 9 months before symptom onset may be acceptable for the diagnosis of PANDAS but also have indicated that the presence of GABHS in the upper respiratory tract (not differentiating infection from the carrier state) may not be detectable until weeks after onset or exacerbation. Such a lack of precision does not assist in establishing a distinct syndrome.

Thus, the absence of regular, continuous, prospective throat cultures along with streptococcal antibody determinations has made it impossible to establish conclusively a temporal relationship between streptococcal infection and onset or exacerbation of neuropsychiatric symptoms. Sufficiently long, longitudinal, prospective studies conclusively demonstrating streptococcal infection and correlating this with clinical findings are required.

Criterion 5

The final diagnostic criterion, that there must be abnormalities on neurologic examination, presents a difficult and practical clinical problem. For example, the 1998 report that “choreiform” movements are often present in patients in whom a diagnosis of PANDAS is considered indicates that the cohort on which the proposed diagnostic criteria were based may well have included subjects with mild chorea that might also be compatible with more conventional Sydenham’s chorea.1

CLINICAL MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS HAVING SOME OR ALL OF THESE NEUROPSYCHIATRIC MANIFESTATIONS

Laboratory Testing

An initial concern of pediatricians and primary care physicians about clinical management of patients with this symptom complex is which, if any, diagnostic laboratory studies should be done. Given the current status of as-yet incompletely defined support for the existence of a specific entity called PANDAS, the physician may be cautious in deciding whether to obtain throat cultures or determine antistreptococcal antibodies in all children presenting with neurobehavioral symptoms such as tics, obsessions, or compulsions. Because of potential difficulties in interpretation of single tests, even with “positive” culture results, the high prevalence of so many GABHS carriers in normal populations potentially confuses the issue.

Patients with signs and symptoms compatible with streptococcal upper respiratory tract infections should be studied for the presence of GABHS just as with any other patient. In the absence of symptoms of streptococcal infection, the relevance of a positive culture is difficult to interpret. The many uncertainties encountered in interpreting streptococcal antibody titers in otherwise normal children are recognized.21 Therefore, to use streptococcal antibody tests or throat cultures in an asymptomatic child either as a screening test or to confirm a diagnosis of PANDAS is problematic.

Two research laboratory tests, measurement of circulating antineuronal antibodies and an assay for the presence of an alleged rheumatic fever-associated T lymphocyte alloantigen called D8/17,22 have not been able to correlate reliably and consistently with suspected PANDAS cases.14

Although radiologically suspected enlargement of caudate nuclei has been described in some suspected patients, routine magnetic resonance imaging cannot be recommended currently, because the validity has not been substantiated.23

Therapy

What treatment should be considered for patients who present with the manifestations associated with the PANDAS constellation of symptoms?

Neuropsychiatric Drugs

Children with disabling tics or OCD should receive appropriate treatment for their symptoms, including medications (eg, tic suppressants such as α-agonists, classical or atypical antipsychotics, or antiobsessional drugs such as selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors) or nonpharmacologic approaches (eg, cognitive behavioral therapy for OCD).24

Antibiotics to Prevent Strep Infections

The only published clinical trial of prophylactic penicillin in children with this syndrome revealed no conclusive evidence that the antibiotic reduced clinical exacerbations.25 Admittedly, the duration of that study was too short to allow definite conclusions. A later report suggesting improvement of new-onset or acute exacerbations of symptoms in such children with antibiotics provides inadequate support for such an approach, because treatment was not placebo-controlled and was unblinded.26 It is well known in treatment studies of TS that there is a substantial placebo effect; the natural course of TS and OCD is such that exacerbations are followed by remissions. This latter phenomenon of “reversion to the mean” implies that virtually any intervention at the time of peak symptoms may seem successful. Only a double-blind, placebo-controlled study can identify a true therapeutic effect.

Another reason to feel comfortable with avoiding antibiotic treatment for these patients is that, to date, no cases have been reported to develop any rheumatic carditis as occurs in patients with Sydenham’s chorea. This is a very important point to remember, because some have attempted to relate this syndrome to rheumatic fever. It is recognized that as many as one third of patients with Sydenham’s chorea ultimately will have evidence of rheumatic valvular heart disease.27 This issue requires additional investigation, because the lack of heart disease strongly argues against a relationship between PANDAS and Sydenham’s chorea or other forms of rheumatic fever.

IS THERE A CASE FOR IMMUNOMODULATORS?

Because the postulated mechanism for a PANDAS syndrome implies an immunologic dysfunction, therapeutic trials have attempted to modify the effects of an immune response. A published study involving 29 patients fulfilling suggested criteria for PANDAS reported sustained benefits both after plasma exchange and in patients after intravenous immunoglobulin.28However, Singer,29 in an accompanying commentary, pointed out numerous methodologic concerns about the trial including highly selective recruitment, small sample size, lack of severity matching within treatment groups, limited comparisons with controls, absence of sham apheresis, concomitant use of psychotropic medications, possible treatment-order effects, and adverse effects that occurred in approximately two thirds of subjects receiving active treatment. A subsequent note of caution was issued in 2000 by the National Institute of Mental Health recommending that, at this time, plasma exchange and intravenous immunoglobulin be reserved only for subjects participating in approved research protocols because there are distinct risks involved.30 To date, there are no additional published data to encourage use of these immune-modifying techniques.

CONCLUSIONS

The current state of knowledge dictates that the concept of a constellation of neuropsychiatric signs and symptoms that are associated with GABHS infections (the PANDAS hypothesis) should be considered only as a yet-unproved hypothesis. History reminds us that the same autoimmune hypothesis for childhood autism, including poststreptococcal elements,31 has been pursued for decades32 without conclusive proof. The PANDAS hypothesis is the focus of clinical and laboratory research. There currently is insufficient evidence to support routine laboratory testing or antibiotic/immune-modifying treatment for suspected cases. Although there is great need for a more effective diagnostic and therapeutic approach for these children, the clinician is obliged to await additional data from well-controlled prospective studies to determine whether PANDAS is a documentable entity or will remain an unproven hypothesis.

(NaturalNews) What follows is a collection of quotations from naturopathic physicians, health authors, researchers and doctors on the dangers of vaccines. I assembled these quotes from a private library of health books and published them here to make this entire collection public.

Here, you’ll learn how vaccines damage the immune system, how they cause asthma and allergic reactions, and why mandatory vaccination policies are a threat to human freedom. If you want to learn even more about why modern medicine’s pushing of vaccines is actually a form of religious fanaticism (which has abandoned all scientific thought), read my related article, “The Flawed Theory Behind Vaccinations, and Why MMR Jabs Endanger Your Child’s Health.” (http://www.naturalnews.com/025596.html)

You may borrow this list of quotes and publish it on your website, blog or book under the following two conditions: 1) You credit the cited author and book shown beneath each quote, and 2) You credit Mike Adams and NaturalNews.com as the researcher and publisher of this list. Please share this knowledge (with proper credit) so that others may learn the truth about the dangers of vaccines. The lives and health of our children are at stake here.

Recent evidence indicates that routine childhood vaccinations contribute to the emergence of chronic allergic problems such as eczema, ear infections, and asthma. While this contention is controversial, a growing number of scientists and physicians maintain that most standard vaccinations permanently disturb the developing immune system, setting the stage for hypersensitive reactions to foods and other common substances. In fact, childhood illnesses such as measles, mumps, and whooping cough may actually reduce the risk of allergy, says Konrad Kail, N.D.

Scientific evidence links vaccinations to chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, aids, learning disabilities, and other health problems.
Viera Scheibner notes that the annual death rate in Europe prior to 1940 from diphtheria was “negligible (less than 300 deaths per million).” After this date, when mass vaccinations against the disease were begun, “unprecedented” diphtheria epidemics followed in “fully vaccinated subjects.” Mass vaccinations against tetanus and whooping cough also began in many countries in the 1940s, and were followed by outbreaks of the “so-called provocation poliomyelitis.

Childhood vaccinations may also be one element that contributes to allergy, in a way that is similar to the mechanisms of the hygiene hypothesis. The vaccinations that prevent childhood illnesses may actually be making children more vulnerable to allergic disorders, by changing the natural function of their immune systems. Specifically, the vaccinations appear to make kids’ immune systems too Th-2 skewed, with a relative deficit of Th-1 activity.

While the dangers of vaccinations are greatly understated by most health authorities, the advertised benefits are greatly exaggerated. For instance, incidence of the four leading childhood killer diseases—diphtheria, pertussis, scarlet fever, and measles-had already declined 90 to 97 percent before the introduction of vaccines, due to improved sanitation and hygiene.35

Homeopathic remedies may also help reduce the side effects of vaccinations. Dr. Kotsanis makes the following recommendations regarding vaccinations: Before vaccinations, give L-glutamine (500 mg), vitamin C (500 mg), and vitamin B6 (50 mg) daily for six weeks. Give probiotics (two times per day) and aloe vera juice (2 oz in divided doses, 2-3 times daily) for three months before and after vaccinations. Make sure the child gets plenty of pure water daily.

Immune systems are even harmed by vaccinations because even though they may protect the body from one strain of infectious disease, they weaken the immune system against future strains. Fortunately, there are many products to help boost immune system function. But remember: Even with the help of these products, proper immune system function requires greatly reducing exposure to synthetic chemicals and non-natural substances, as well as following the 3 principles of health discussed in the first half of this chapter.

After you were born, during your preschool years, you got every little cold or virus that came along, but your immune system was getting some heavy-duty instruction on things to defend against. vaccinations, too, “schooled” your immune system. So as the years passed, illnesses and immunizations helped your body’s immune system begin to develop memories of what was body-friendly and what was body-menacing.

Proteins used in vaccinations are potential allergens that can produce anaphylactic shock. When vaccinations were first introduced, many diseases were on the decline; polio lessened 50% from 1923 to 1953, same as inEurope, where polio continued to lessen without using vaccines. Measles declined over 95% from 1915 to 1958 before vaccinations were used. Measles, mumps, and rubella/German measles may serve a person’s normal immune system development and strengthening.

Breastfed children generally have a stronger response to immunization and develop higher levels of immunity after receiving vaccinations than do formula-fed children. …Vaccines are fragments of bacterial or viral material that fool the immune system into thinking that there is an ongoing infection. Vaccines can be “killed”—that is, totally inactivated—or “live,” wherein the organism has been damaged so that it cannot cause infection but is still not completely dead. Vaccines also contain preservatives and other chemicals.

A beautiful young girl developed MS a few months after a series of smallpox vaccinations that were given to try to “boost” her immune system; she tried every dietary and herbal cure on earth to stem the inexorable disease; but none worked. My heart ached as I saw her come to my classes each time weaker and weaker, and finally in a wheelchair, unable to focus her eyes or to write. I think it’s not unreasonable to suspect that all the tampering and the “boosting” and the chemical intervention in the immune system can cause that damage.

Research findings now available from many sources are indicating that vaccinations interfere with the body’s immune system development and make people more susceptible to diseases, not less. There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that childhood diseases, most of which are harmless, are critical stages in the development of a strong, fully functioning immune system. An immature immune system needs to develop naturally, by fighting off the illnesses that occur in childhood.

When legions of parents began to complain that their children had become ill soon after their vaccinations, while still controversial, the government studied the situation and in 2001 began to gradually phase thimerosal out of the vaccinations. Even with this gradual removal, however, the damage was done. Now there are countless new cases of autism, with more emerging every day, and there are also millions of other children with very serious cases of the other 4-A disorders, which are also partly due to the unsafe vaccinations.

In addition to the toxic reactions that vaccinations with thimerosal appear to have caused, subsequent live-virus vaccinations may have also caused problems. These vaccinations, which contain small amounts of living viruses, may have directly created infections-through viral material-in children’s gastrointestinal tracts.

Compelling evidence is available that the development of the immune system after contracting the usual childhood diseases matures and renders it capable to fight infection in the future. The use of multiple vaccines, which prevents natural immunity, promotes the development of allergies and asthma. A New Zealand study disclosed that 23% of vaccinated children develop asthma compared to zero in unvaccinated children.

[The] very sudden onset of symptoms is known to happen most frequently to children after their MMR vaccinations. Thus, the vaccinations that contained thimerosal may have created a double hit against the immune system. They assaulted the immune system with toxic mercury. This was followed by injection of combined live viruses, which could not be effectively handled by a mercury-altered immune system.

Chaitow has found that a number of factors negatively impact the immune function, including increased toxic burden due to pollution in all its forms; disturbance of immune systems through repeated childhood and adult vaccinations and immunizations; and damage to healthy intestinal flora due to over-reliance upon antibiotics and steroids (especially birth control pills).

A little baby is born and immediately given a set of vaccinations. These vaccinations are drugs. They are poisons. They are diseased chemicals. You are injecting the little baby with viruses, drugs, chemicals, and disease. The baby’s immune system begins to act in a totally unnatural way and becomes very susceptible to bacteria. Virtually every child, then, gets infections, primarily an ear infection. These infections were caused by the vaccines themselves. The doctor then prescribes more drugs in the form of antibiotics.

American children often receive some 30 vaccinations within the first 6 years of their lives and children in the U.K. can expect to be vaccinated about 25 times. Within the first 15 months of life, vaccinations including nine or more different antigens are pumped into the immature immune systems of babies. Despite the colossal efforts and large sums of money spent on vaccine research, medicine has never been able to devise a cholera vaccine that works and the drugs for malaria aren’t as effective as a single herb.

The belief that vaccinations, like flu shots, have eliminated death from infectious disease in the twentieth century is widespread. In fact, much of the reduction in death from infectious disease is due to public-health measures, including improved nutrition and sanitation. And vaccinations are not without potential danger. We still don’t know the potential long-term effects of vaccination.

Multiple vaccinations, especially in newborns, are another major source of childhood mercury exposure because of the mercury-containing thimerosal preservative. Over twenty-two vaccinations are now recommended for children before the age of two! Effects of exposure can vary from subtle to major malformations but even minor degrees of maldevelopment can have unacceptable consequences.

It has been hypothesized by researchers at Duke University in North Carolina that the particular combination of pesticides, such as organophosphates and carbamates, along with the solvents and toxic metals and other chemicals in the anthrax and botulism vaccinations soldiers were injected with, could have brought about more nerve damage than any one of these substances could have done individually.

These vaccinations, which offer little protection against yearly flu virus strains, are heavily promoted by the CDC, Public Health Department and most physicians. Many hospitals have made flu vaccinations of the elderly a part of routine admission orders. This, in my view, is criminal.
Some forms of mercury, such as methylmercury, phenylmercury, and ethylmercury, are very fat-soluble. This means that an obese person can sequester a considerable amount of mercury in his or her body fat, as well as in his or her nervous system.

DPT may cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) – 85% in 1 -6 months, same as the 2-4-6-month DPT vaccinations risk; the death rate increases eighttimes within 3 days of injection; in one study 70% of SIDS deaths occurred within 3 weeks of DPT vaccinations (give 1 gram Vitamin C to counter); causes reported adverse reactions in 100 per 1000 vaccinations (10%).

Studies indicate that autism may be the result of adverse reactions to childhood vaccinations. Dr. Alan Cohen, an environmental physician from Connecticut, notes that high levels of autism and attention deficit disorder (ADD) did not occur until the mandatory use of childhood vaccinations, and suggests that there may be a connection between certain vaccines and the onset of these conditions.

Vaccination Damage: Despite the refusal of the conventional health establishment to investigate the long-term effects of childhood vaccinations, independent research reports have increasingly been made public. These link vaccination rates to the epidemic of childhood asthma, as well as to crib death, shaken baby syndrome, hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder, autism, and juvenile diabetes. Since the 1990s, there has been a tenfold or 1000-percent increase in autism, an increase which has been linked by some researchers to the organic mercury preservative commonly found in baby vaccines.

As for vaccinations, parents should insist that their children receive only vaccines without thimerosal. Manufacturers are slow in producing mercury-free vaccines, but as a parent you should insist they be free of this toxic metal. The practice of inoculating the elderly every year against the latest flu viruses is ludicrous. Recently the CDC recommended lowering the age for yearly flu shots from age sixty-five to fifty-five and some pediatricians are now recommending flu shots for small children.

Some scientists have attributed the onset of chronic fatigue to the administration of vaccinations.

The effect of all this is a high incidence of crib deaths in bottle-fed babies, which sometimes occur shortly after immunizations. Vaccinations can further drain the already dangerously low levels of vitamin C. Archie Kalokerinos, M.D., in Every Second Child, relates that in some Aboriginal communities of Australia every second child given a vaccination died of crib death, but when fed high doses of vitamin C before and after vaccinations, not a single child died.

And let me remind you that flu vaccinations are not innocuous. There is conjecture that the mercury and aluminum (metals that are known to have neurotoxic effects) in vaccine shots are associated with long-term adverse consequences. These vaccines can also overstimulate the immune system in ways that are not fully understood. For that reason, I recommend that only people with COPD get flu shots.

Parents are encouraged to read the research on this subject to understand the risks of vaccinations. They can learn about their right to refuse vaccinations for their family. For example, in Canada, there are no laws that can force a person to be vaccinated against their will. Health officials, however, fail to inform the public of these rights. The question of taking vaccines is also an issue for adults. There is such a media blitz, especially toward the elderly, to have annual flu shots; yet there is very little evidence that they are effective.

The damage that has been caused so far by vaccinations is considerable and surpasses many times the problems that could possibly arise from having no immunization program whatsoever. Many natural ways are available to acquire immunity.

Do not allow your doctor or his or her staff to downplay or dismiss your concerns about vaccinations. Unfortunately, some pediatricians become quite annoyed when parents question or resist some vaccinations, so be prepared to meet some resistance. Even today, as more and more parents and health professionals are waking up to the potential hazards associated with some vaccines, there’s still a lot of opposition out there. I recently asked a respected pediatrician to explain his vaccine protocol to me. Without pausing for an instant he said, “Oh, we just follow the CDC’s recommended schedule.

Getting vaccinated is one of the worst things you could do to yourself, your children, and your loved ones. Vaccinations do not prevent illness, they cause illness. The mercury in the vaccines cause autism, brain damage, and disease. The vaccines themselves cause the body to be in an unnatural state and set you up for major disease. In the Natural Cures book I give you several other books that I recommend to discuss vaccines. They are: A Shot in the Dark, by Harris L. Coulter and Barbara Loe Fisher; Vaccines: Are They Really Safe & Effective?, by Neil Z.

So when Harris Coulter contends that vaccinations represent the rationalist “medical assault on the American brain,” maybe that’s not saying enough. Maybe the contention is better put as the medical assault on the American individuality. “It’s ironic because Americans think of themselves as individualistic but really they’re possessed by a herd mentality,” Coulter speculates. “Maybe the American instinct for conformity is caused by childhood vaccinations.” Is Modern Medicine Now in the Domain of the Criminally Insane?

Through vaccinations you may gain protection from certain infections, but at the expense of having lost enough useful susceptibility on superficial levels to produce a symptomatic reaction, says Vithoulkas. In other words, you may be immune to the flu, but you’ll get cancer instead. Disease, says homeopathy is not alien to us, but a necessary elaborative and refining process of our organic being. If we cut off the disease’s mode of expression, which uses the body tissue as a medium, this drives it ever deeper into our organism in search of a venue for expression.

Even though all of the children who received the pertussis vaccine received other vaccinations, the researchers felt that the statistical evidence focused on pertussis.

Allergies are also on the rise because children’s immune systems are under attack from vaccinations, antibiotics, and the constant use of medicines such as Tylenol that harm the liver, our most important organ of detoxification.

[Vaccines] cause hundreds of deaths per year from adverse reactions, reactions that wouldn’t otherwise occur if mass vaccinations didn’t exist. According to a recent announcement (November 14,. 2007) by State and County officials in Maryland (USA), parents were threatened with jail if they didnt submit their children to forced vaccinations. State Attorney General Glenn F. Ivey vehemently declared that he would criminalize parents who refuse to bring their children to the courthouse to have them injected, on the spot, with vaccines that contain methyl mercury.

Researchers from the American Food and Drug Administration discovered that vaccinations, particularly the hepatitis B shot, could cause hair loss. They estimate that 50,000 Americans suffer hair loss (alopecia) after immunization every year. The report was published by the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1997.
It is nearly impossible to estimate the damage and suffering that has been created and will occur in the future as a result of inadequate information about the dangers of modern immunization programs.

And now, if we refuse vaccinations for our children, the school authorities harass us because they do not realize how the vaccines are made from toxic pus and blood from diseased animals and do harm. Now, if we decide we don’t want our child who is in liver failure to have a liver transplant, to have an emotionally devastating life for them and for ourselves, filled with doctors, infections, pain and ultimate rejection of the liver and death anyway after a few years, the government can take away that child and arrest us for “endangering the welfare of the child.”

“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!

Posted on 17 January 2012. Tags: , , , , , , 

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

http://www.facebook.com/danieljleachjr

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.

OT – Leroy 12.. Gardasil much!?? – None/Select/Delayed Vaccinations – BabyCenter.

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.

A two-phased population epidemiological study of the safety of thimerosal-containing vaccines: a follow-up analysis.

. . . significant associations between cumulative exposures to thimerosal and the following types of NDs: unspecified developmental delay, tics, attention deficit disorder (ADD), language delay, speech delay, and neurodevelopmental delays in general.

Thimerosal exposure in infants and developmental disorders: a retrospective cohort study in the United kingdom does not support a causal association.

With the possible exception of tics, there was no evidence that thimerosal exposure via DTP/DT vaccines causes neurodevelopmental disorders.
Andrews, Miller, Grant et al Pediatrics. 2004 Sep;114(3):584-91

Safety of thimerosal-containing vaccines: a two-phased study of computerized health maintenance organization databases.

Relative risks for neurodevelopmental disorders were calculated per increase of 12.5 micro g of estimated cumulative mercury exposure from TCVs in the first, third, and seventh months of life. 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.”
