https://expose-news.com/2024/09/07/it-was-all-a-lie-midazolam/ The world was thrown into chaos when a new virus, Covid-19, was declared a pandemic by the government. Fear propaganda was broadcasted non-stop on television and radio, all paid for by the government and they used the pandemic as an excuse to pass laws that restricted civil liberties and bribed the public with furlough payments to not go to work. As the pandemic progressed, the government’s true motives were revealed, as they were found to be putting vulnerable individuals into end-of-life care and administering a drug called midazolam to kill them, while lying to the public by claiming that their deaths were due to the virus. The consequences of vaccination were also revealed as it was not actually a vaccine, but an experimental gene therapy that had never been used on humans before; and not without good reason. Tragically, as things began to settle, the true consequences of the Covid-19 injection roll-out were realised. The fully vaccinated accounted for over 9 in every 10 deaths associated with the virus, and mortality rates per 100,000 were lowest among the unvaccinated and highest among the vaccinated in every age group. Two years after the initial roll-out, 20 million deaths had been recorded in the “Five Eyes” countries and 26 other countries in Europe, resulting in 2 million excess deaths. This was a huge increase on deaths recorded throughout the pandemic prior to the vaccine roll-out. In Europe, there was a huge increase in excess deaths among children aged 0 to 14, as soon as the vaccine was approved for children by the EMA. The very “vaccine” that was supposed to protect them had the opposite effect, and many parents were left devastated after falling for the coercive lies which resulted in the loss of their children’s lives. Meanwhile, by week 40 of 2022 in the USA, half a million deaths among children and young adults were recorded following the Covid-19 injection roll-out, resulting in 120,000 excess deaths. This highlights the severe impact that the vaccine had on the young and healthy and the devastating loss of life caused by the vaccine. The world was thrown into chaos when fear propaganda began to be broadcasted non-stop on television and radio, all paid for by the government. They claimed that a new virus called Covid-19 was causing a pandemic and persuaded the public to go into lockdown multiple times through fear porn and bribes such as furlough payments to not go to work. Source Do you remember the scenes broadcast on mainstream news channels, and plastered across the front pages at the start of 2020? Infamous images of Chinese medical officials in hazmat suits collecting bodies off the pavements of Wuhan, where we were told they had collapsed and died in the street because of a new strain of coronavirus, now known as COVID-19. The scenes have not been replicated anywhere else, confirming that it was all a lie and propaganda, used to whip up hysteria and justify the introduction of medical tyranny across the world, in the name of preventing the spread of COVID-19. Nevertheless, the vast majority of the general public fell for the propaganda and were left feeling trapped and alone, as they watched their livelihoods and savings disappear. Mental health issues skyrocketed, and children were left feeling hopeless as they watched their parents struggle. So hopeless that they were attempting suicide due to unsubstantiated fears of Covid-19 fueled by the Government’s fear propaganda. An NHS doctor has revealed that he was seeing children as young as eight self-harming and attempting suicide amid what had become an unprecedented mental health crisis fuelled by the stress caused by months of lies pedalled by the Government and the mainstream media in relation to the alleged Covid-19 pandemic. Source Consultant Dave Greenhorn confirmed that back in March 2021, he and fellow NHS staff at Bradford Royal Infirmary were regularly seeing youngsters who had attempted suicide or taken overdoses due to the stress of being terrified of family members catching Covid-19. Commenting at the time, Dr Greenhorn said – “We [NHS staff] have seen all sorts of tragic things that we haven’t seen before”.“A year of lockdown is a massive amount of time when you’re so young and you can’t see your friends and combine that with other things such as parents on furlough, working from home or losing their jobs,”“The children don’t have the emotive language to discuss why they feel the way they do, they just know that they feel awful.” Source The government also used the pandemic as an excuse to pass laws that restricted civil liberties, such as banning public gatherings, limiting travel, and increasing surveillance. Source Source As the pandemic continued, investigators uncovered the horrifying truth that the government had been putting elderly and vulnerable individuals into end-of-life care and administering a drug called midazolam to kill them, while lying to the public by claiming that their deaths were due to the virus. Sourc e You gave up two years of your life due to a lie. But not just any lie, a lie that involved prematurely ending the lives of thousands upon thousands of people, who you were told died of Covid-19. A lie that involved committing one of the greatest crimes against humanity in living memory. A lie that required just three things – fear, your compliance, and a drug known as Midazolam. During April 2020 out-of-hospital prescribing for Midazolam was twice the amount seen in 2019. Source There are many factors to understand when it comes to the Midazolam scandal, so you can read the full original investigation into this atrocity here . This revelation left those who had broken free from the hypnotic trance of BBC News feeling betrayed and angry, as they realized that their loved ones had been sacrificed for the government’s own gain. Many elderly citizens felt targeted and discriminated against by the government’s actions. When a vaccine was finally invented and rolled out, it was revealed that it was not actually a vaccine, but an experimental gene therapy that had never been used on humans before. And there was a very good reason for that as explained by Dr Anthony Fauci, the Chief Medical Advisor to the President of the United States at the time. in the following footage – Many people were hesitant to take the vaccine. Still, they were pressured and coerced by the government, media and big players such as Bill Gates, Dr Fauci, Chris Whitty, Matt Hancock and other government officials who were heavily bribed by the Pharmaceutical companies and were also found to be shareholders of the vaccine manufacturing companies . Source They used the fear of the virus and the threat of fines, loss of jobs, and lack of freedom to coerce people into getting vaccinated. Tragically, the fully vaccinated accounted for over 9 in every 10 deaths associated with the virus… Source Source And once things began to settle down the true consequences of the mass Covid-19 vaccine roll-out were realised. Mortality rates per 100,000 were lowest among the unvaccinated and highest among the vaccinated in every single age-group. And many people who had taken the vaccine, and finally joined the millions of others who had broken free from the hypnotic trance of BBC News were left feeling guilty and ashamed, as they realized that they had unknowingly put themselves in harm’s way. Source Source You can read a full investigation into the devastating mortality rates here . Two years after the initial roll-out, 20 million deaths had been recorded in the “Five Eyes” countries and 26 other countries in Europe, resulting in nearly 2 million excess deaths. Source This was a huge increase on deaths recorded throughout the pandemic prior to the vaccine roll-out. Especially when we consider the fact that we still do not have the data for the entirety of 2022. For example, Australia suffered 11,068 excess deaths in 2021 and then a shocking 22,730 excess deaths by week 38 of 2022. This is in stark contrast to 2020, when only 1,306 excess deaths were recorded at the height of the Covid pandemic and prior to the rollout of the Covid injections. Source This means Australia suffered a shocking 1,640% increase in excess deaths in just 39 weeks throughout 2022 compared to 53 weeks throughout 2020. Children were also affected, with a h uge increase in excess deaths occurring among 0 to 14-year-olds in Europe as soon as the vaccine was approved for children by the European Medicines Agency. Source Source The Expose’s investigation into these shocking statistics forced the EU to launch a Europe-wide investigation into why so many children were dying. Source But that investigation has still failed to reach a conclusion. Source Meanwhile, in the USA, half a million deaths among children and young adults were recorded following the vaccine roll-out, resulting in 120,000 excess deaths. Parents were left feeling devastated as they lost their children to the very thing that they were falsely told was supposed to protect them. Source Source Three years on from the start of the initial pandemic, the world has found itself in a cost of living crisis due to extreme inflation caused by printing money throughout the pandemic. Excess deaths are at an all-time high all around the world and show no signs of slowing down. The government’s response has been an utter failure, and many people have been left feeling betrayed and hopeless. Hundreds of thousands are now left questioning how they could have been so gullible, to follow the government’s orders without question. The whole thing had been a disaster from start to finish. Society is in deep shock, confusion and despair, with the people struggling to come to terms with the scale of the corruption and the cost of it. Government officials have been found to be heavily bribed by the Pharmaceutical companies and have also been found to be shareholders of the vaccine manufacturing companies. Take t he new Prime Minister of the UK for instance. Rishi Sunak officially became Prime Minister on October 31st 2022. And look what happened to Moderna’s share price as soon as that happened. Source It bounced back from the never-ending decline it has been suffering throughout the year and has risen ever since. Why? Because Rishi Sunak’s company ‘Theleme’ is one of the largest shareholders in Moderna. Source Sunak was a hedge fund manager before he became a Member of Parliament and later Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he founded and worked at Theleme Partners LLP, a hedge fund management company based in London, UK. In 2011, Theleme was one of the earliest investors in Moderna, when Moderna only had about ten employees. Fast-forward 11 years and you will find that Theleme is now the 6th largest shareholder in Moderna, and Moderna is the largest holding of Theleme, with 6.3 million shares held as of June 2022. Moderna, Inc. (MRNA), Yahoo Finance, retrieved 27 October 2022 Is it just a coincidence that within two months of Sunak’s Premiership, his Government announced that they had cemented a 10-year-partnership with Moderna in what it hailed as a “major boost for vaccines and research”. Source This 10-year deal struck with Moderna stinks of corruption and it is lining the pockets of the former UK Prime Minister at a cost to both the British Taxpayers’ wallets/purses and their health. And it is just one of the dozens of examples that prove the Establishment orchestrated the whole Covid-19 pandemic to suit their financial benefit. These facts alone should disgust and anger the majority of the public. The only problem is, the vast majority haven’t realized it was all a lie. And, sadly, we’re not sure they ever will.

https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/thousands-of-bug-eaters-are-getting-new-incurable-diseases-doctors-warn/ Thousands of bug eaters around the world are developing rare and incurable diseases, according to doctors who warn the act of eating insects is harmful to humans. As the consumption of eating bugs has risen in popularity in recent years thanks to the push by the WEF to replace meat with insects, people who dine on bugs are increasingly being diagnosed with horrific illnesses as a result. Infowars.com reports: The Bible instructs us in Leviticus 11: 20-23, not to eat insects, with the exception of orthopterans, specifically, locusts, crickets, and grasshoppers. Even so, permission to eat these is not instruction to do so, and there certainly isn’t reference to the Israelites making insect offerings, or of Jesus encouraging his disciples to eat them. Eating these in a survival situation — like that of John The Baptist — is one thing, but to have insects discreetly added to our foods, or touted as the future of the human diet, as is happening in Europe, North America, and abroad, is a threat to our health, and is disgusting. Here I will discuss three types of toxicity from edible insects: allergy, contamination, and mechanical toxicity of parts of insect exoskeletons, arising from their shapes. Contamination of Insect-based Foods Bioaccumulation of poisonous heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium and others, and of pesticides including herbicides, has been  documented  to occur in insects used for food. This means that as insects grow and develop in a contaminated environment, or if they eat contaminated plant matter, toxic heavy metals or other toxins build up in their bodies over time. Therefore producers must carefully source insect feed, and ensure the rearing environment is free of contaminants. I’ve designed, built, and managed commercial medical cannabis grow rooms, for which I required strict entry protocols for workers, and used special equipment and other measures, to prevent entry and proliferation of pests and plant diseases. If pests such as insects or mites make their way into such a controlled environment, they may multiply uninhibited by natural factors such as weather fluctuations and predators. For that reason, I installed high-powered air curtains at two separate doorways that had to be passed through consecutively to enter the grow rooms, kept a specialized mat containing a shallow pool of bleach solution to step in at the main entrance, used computer-monitored/controlled air conditioning and dehumidification, utilized sticky traps to monitor for pests, and released beneficial predatory insects, mites, and nematodes in grow rooms and hydroponic systems to prevent pest infestations. Despite my preventative measures, I discovered an infestation of grain mites on plant leaves in two grow rooms, the likes of which is to date otherwise unreported in cannabis. By careful investigation, I identified the mites and determined that they came from grains used to feed Indian meal moth larvae. The Indian meal moth larvae were in turn used by a supplier to feed  Hypoaspis miles  predatory mites that I purchased and released in the grow rooms, to prevent infestations of fungus gnats. Fungus gnats were also problematic, as is common in indoor cannabis cultivation. The fungus gnats gained entry to the facility in bags of potting mix used to grow mother plants, prompting the purchase of a heat treatment machine for potting mix. Indoor insect rearing faces similar challenges to indoor cannabis cultivation, including problems with invasive insects and mites, and insect pathogens. People may assume indoor rearing of insects could easily provide clean, pest-free and disease-free conditions, but this it not the case. Fungi such as  Beauveria bassiana  parasitize insects, necessitating control of environmental parameters as temperature and humidity, and pests including mites attack insects, even spreading insect viruses such as  deformed wing virus , transmitted by Varroa mites. The potential difficulty of controlling such problems makes it likely that insect producers will resort to using miticides, species-specific insecticides, fungicides, etc, which may lack government regulations in various countries, and could contaminate edible insects, and must be considered for food safety implications. Here’s a hypothetical scenario of how insecticide contamination could occur: Cockroaches could invade insect rearing or processing facilities, leading to insecticide use for controlling or preventing cockroach infestation, and potentiate insecticide contamination of food insects. For example, the insecticide Termidor (active ingredient fipronil), is  labeled  for use to control cockroaches and many other pests that invade buildings, such as silverfish, spiders, centipedes, millipedes, earwigs, and flies. Termidor is transferred  multiple times  by insect-to-insect contact. If used to control pests of an edible insect rearing facility, this kind of spread-by-contact action would be one example of how an insecticide, or insecticide degradation products sublethal to insects, could contaminate insects intended for food, and shows the  need for further study  and development of best management practices and reasonable regulations of rearing and processing facilities, which are lacking. Mealworms ( Tenebrio molitor ) larvae, full of feces, and supposedly suitable to eat. One of the most alarming potential problems of food insect production is pre-or-post-processing contamination by  Aspergillus,  a common fungus that releases the mycotoxin known as aflatoxin. Cooked and dried insects can reabsorb humidity, and could grow  Aspergillus,  as could pre-processed insects. Aflatoxin is heat stable and cannot be eliminated by cooking insects contaminated by  Aspergillus .  Mpuchane et al. (1996)  identified aflatoxin in edible grasshoppers at a concentration of up to 50 micrograms/kg. The European Union [EU] allows a maximum of 15 micrograms of aflatoxin per kilogram in plant based foods***, but disturbingly, the EU does not have regulations for aflatoxin in animal based foods including insects. Aflatoxin is the one of the  most carcinogenic  chemicals known to man. This problem must be addressed, but unfortunately, anyone encouraging you to eat insects is not looking out for your health in the first place. Allergies Allergies can arise at an early age, or can be developed by repeated exposure to a substance. Therefore, there’s a risk of developing an allergic response to eating insects, even in people who’ve previously tolerated them well. While this could be said of many other foods, it’s particularly common for people to be allergic to shellfish crustaceans such as crabs, shrimp, and lobsters. Like these crustaceans, insects have an exoskeleton composed primarily of chitin. After cellulose, aka ‘fiber’ in dietary vernacular, which is the primary component of plant cell walls, chitin is the  second most abundant  biological polymer on Earth. Human bodies lack enzymes to breakdown cellulose during digestion; by contrast, humans do make enzymes that break down chitin, albeit chitin is widely  considered undigestible , and like cellulose, may act as dietary fiber. Although some studies have  indicated  chitin activates inflammatory immune responses associated with allergic reactions, contradictory studies have found potential application for chitin in  combating allergies . A specific type of tropomyosin, not chitin, is the  primary allergen  in crustaceans, and very similar forms are also present in the exoskeletons of insects and mites. Wong et al. (2016)  showed  evidence that chronic exposure to dust mites primes humans to have a hypersensitive (allergic) response to crustaceans, due to the mutual presence of similar tropomyosins. Conversely, a study on an Icelandic population found that long term exposure to shrimp primed the population for an allergy to dust mites. This suggests that allergic reactions to insects, including hives, asthma, angioedema (swelling of the eyelids, tongue, larynx, etc), rhinitis, and dermatitis, may likewise be largely caused by exoskeleton tropomyosin. Allergies are  very similar  to autoimmune diseases. The immune system is responsible for both, although different t-cell white blood cells are involved. Interestingly,  Das and colleagues (1993)  found that 95% of patients with ulcerative colitis, a type of autoimmune disease, had antibodies in their blood that were reactive to tropomyosin. There are many  different types  of tropomyosin, including more than 40 types in mammals and fungi, so an important distinction is that the specific type associated with allergies to mites, shellfish, and insects doesn’t implicate all tropomyosins. By my assessment, exoskeleton-specific tropomyosin helps explain why someone with a shellfish, insect, or dust mite allergy may not be allergic to eating mushrooms, even though chitin is highly present in all of these. A 2017  paper  published in  Clinical Toxicology  presented evidence of histamine poisoning from insects, in three cases in Thailand, including an outbreak affecting 118 patients, and another incident involving 19 students. The paper focused on direct evidence in another case in which 28 out of a group of 227 students were sickened, and concluded the cause was histamines present in grasshoppers and silkworm pupae they ate at a seminar. The researchers analyzed the leftover foods, and what the 28 sickened and other 199 students ate, and alleged that the histamines were implicated, which like tropomyosins, are heat-stable (resistant to degradation by cooking). The sick students’ symptoms included hives, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and breathing problems (bronchospasm and dyspnea). I doubt the validity of the researchers’ conclusions in the 2017 paper, because the cause of the reported symptoms is dubious. They believed the symptoms were caused by histamine poisoning, that resulted from poor storage of the insects leading to microbial degradation of histidine present in the grasshoppers and silkworm pupae, thereby converting the histidine to histamine. This is certainly possible, and known to occur in many foods such as tuna fish, but problematically for their conclusion, the human body  produces  histamines in response to allergenic substances such as tropomyosin, and also, importantly, in response to mechanical injury. And glaringly, the levels of histamine the researchers found in the leftover insects were about 8 mg and 10 mg per 100 g of grasshoppers and silkworm pupae, respectively, and this is only half the concentration of 20 mg histamine per 100 g food the EU  allows  in fresh fish. The  hazardous level  of histamine is considered to be 50 mg per 100 g of food, five times higher than was found in the insects. It is possible that a sensitive individual could react to such a low level of histamine as was found, but it’s very unlikely for 28 students to have the same sensitivity. Also contradicting their conclusion, is that poisoning from histamines that are in food (ie as opposed to histamines produced in the body in response to allergens or injury) usually occurs  within a few minutes  after eating the tainted food. Contrastingly, the researchers reported the onset of symptoms in the 28 students occurred on average 4 hours after eating the insects. Furthermore, the symptoms of histamine poisoning  resemble  those of an allergic reaction to IgE antibody-mediated allergens such tropomyosin. The low level of histamine found in the leftover insects, combined with the delayed onset of symptoms, suggests another causative factor at least contributing to — if not almost solely responsible for — the sickness, such as allergens in the insects (possibly tropomyosin) or mechanical abrasion/damage to the digestive lining by insect parts. This case is notable because the authors tried to place the blame on poor storage, which is a preventable factor, but if the cause was actually inherent in the insects, it rebuts the ‘eating insects is great’ narrative. However, even if their conclusions are wrong, the authors did nevertheless highlight an important storage concern for insects that should be considered. As they pointed out, a 2007 study found a concentration of histamine in silkworm pupae of 87.5 mg per 100 g, nearly double the hazardous level. Mechanical Toxicity of Spurs, Spines, and Setae (Hairs) I was prompted to write this article by widespread and well-justified backlash against the push for eating insects, and opponents’ assertions that exoskeleton chitin is toxic to humans. What particularly sparked my interest was that as a horticultural scientist, I knew from my associated study of mycology (fungi) and entomology (insects) that, like insects’ exoskeletons, the cell walls of fungi, including mushrooms, are also predominantly made of chitin. I love eating mushrooms and use several species of powdered mushrooms in my morning coffee for their tremendous health benefits. So, hearing my favorite newscaster/show host, Alex Jones, talk about the toxic effect of eating insect exoskeletons, and implicating chitin, compelled me to research the issue further. Gastrointestinal upset recently sidelined NBA player Jimmy Butler, who told his teammates that he ate crickets in Mexico City prior to the sickness. Fans and others speculated that the crickets were the cause, although it could not be proven. The reported symptoms were not necessarily indicative of an allergic response however, unlike the aforementioned students with more classical allergy symptoms such as hives and breathing problems. Could there be another cause? Mechanical toxicity may arise from irritation, abrasion, or other damage caused by the  shape  of chemical compounds present in foods. For example, plants in the Araceae family contain sharply-angled  calcium oxalate  crystals, that when ingested, can cause itching, numbing, burning, and sores, in the mouth, throat, and digestive tract, and could even be fatal.  Monstera deliciosa  (Araceae) ,  an ornamental vine popularly grown on oak trees here in Central Florida, with large, ‘swiss-cheese,’ hole-adorned leaves, has a remarkable edible fruit that most people are unaware of. The fruit tastes like a combination of pineapples and bananas (or mangos), hence the species name  deliciosa ; but if eaten before fully ripened, the fruit contains calcium oxalate crystals that could cause digestive distress. Another plant in the same family, also containing calcium oxalate crystals, is the traditional Polynesian staple crop  taro  ( Colocasia esculenta ), used to make a soupy, mashed potato-like food called poi, eaten in Hawaiian luaus. Taro is toxic if eaten raw; boiling is required to breakdown the calcium oxalate crystals. Monstera deliciosa  foliage and fruit. Taro ( Colocasia esculenta ) foliage Taro root (corm) Calcium oxalate is also what kidney stones* are made of, the pain of which highlights the fact that the shape of chemical compounds can be deleterious. Another example of the shape of a chemical compound causing injury is uric acid crystals causing  gout , a painful affliction** of the joints. Gout crystals are elongated and sharp, and thereby cause tissue damage and inflammation. Sharp, gout-causing uric acid crystals in a (synovial fluid?) light microscope sample Insect exoskeletons feature sharp protuberances made of chitin, including spines, spurs, and rigid ‘hairs’ called setae. As  noted  by Mézes (2018), the pointy shape of these protuberances may cause them to be mechanically toxic, by damaging the digestive tract. This is not the chitin  per se  causing toxicity; instead, it’s the shape of the structures formed by chitin leading to toxicity. Spines are narrowly conical, rigid, fixed projections, found on grasshopper legs, for example. Spurs are similar to spines but are on a socket allowing movement. Setae are hair-like, and contain nerve endings for sensory perception. The hairs on the legs of a fly are an example of setae. All of these structures are very small, and impractical/ impossible to remove via processing, as can be seen in the electron micrograph below, for example, showing the breathing apparatus on the side of a cricket’s body, surrounded by numerous setae. Electron microscope image (342x magnification) of tiny setae on the body of a cricket, on and surrounding a spiracle valve (breathing hole). Another difference between the chitin in insects and the chitin in mushrooms is that adult insects’ exoskeletons are  sclerotized.  Sclerotization involves the cross-linking of chitin molecules with various proteins and other molecules, creating a harder, more rigid material than chitin alone. A caterpillar’s relatively soft body is mostly made of pure chitin, whereas the chitin in an adult insect’s exoskeleton is sclerotized (albeit caterpillars commonly feature sclerotized projections such as spines, and their mouthparts are sclerotized). This is analogous to cellulose in plants’ cell walls being fairly flexible, unless  lignified  (wood) or  suberized  (cork). Crustaceans such as crabs also have sclerotized chitin exoskeletons. It also seems reasonable to surmise, and even hard to ignore, that chewing an insect exoskeleton would produce sharp fragments that could damage the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. Similarly, sharp particles could result from grinding insects during food processing. Summary and Discussion Possible contamination is a considerable safety hazard associated with eating insects. Producers should prevent contamination by heavy metals and chemicals such as herbicides and insecticides, by carefully scrutinizing the methods and feed used to rear insects. Further research is needed to determine proper best management practices for rearing and processing insects, and to establish safety regulations. Aflatoxin contamination by ubiquitous  Aspergillus  fungi is a major threat that governing bodies should immediately set low limits for, and require testing to evaluate, in insect-based food batches. Chitin is the primary structural component in mushrooms, and in arthropods including insects, mites, and crustacean shellfish. Inconclusive research has implicated chitin in allergic reactions, while also showing its potential for combating allergies. The pointy chitin-based protuberances of insect exoskeletons, and sharp exoskeleton fragments, may explain why insects can sicken people without causing classical allergic responses such as hives or swelling. These sharp structures may also be a clue in clarifying reasons for mixed findings regarding chitin allergies. It is important to recognize the primary role of exoskeleton-associated tropomyosins in allergic reactions to crustaceans and mites, as alike tropomyosins are common to the exoskeletons of insects. These combined facts help explain why mushroom chitin may be well-tolerated by people allergic to, or otherwise sickened by, crustacean shellfish and insects. God had a reason to command us not to eat crustaceans and most insects. It’s misguided to believe that science is likely to fully elucidate the medical reasons for God’s instructions regarding food, especially considering the plethora of factors involved in human health that complicate dietary scientific analysis, and the sometimes-delayed health effects attributable to various factors. We should also trust our instincts. Even to this entomology enthusiast, the idea of eating insects is disgusting. The best thing to do is to refuse to heed World Economic Forum head Klaus Schwab’s exhortations to “Eat ze bugs.” *Note: Apatite rock, made of calcium phosphate compounds, is a precursor for calcium oxalate crystals. Drinking sodas containing phosphoric acid may encourage kidney stones and  kidney disease  by generating calcium phosphate compounds. **John Milton, author of the masterpiece Paradise Lost, died from complications from gout in 1674. ***Peanuts are commonly infected by  Aspergillus,  so never eat a rotten peanut (or other nut).

https://greenmedinfo.com/content/americas-hidden-health-crisis-how-15-million-patients-are-harmed-diagnostic-er Imagine a health crisis so vast it affects 1.5 million Americans each year, yet remains largely hidden from public view. This is the reality of diagnostic errors and overdiagnosis in the United States, a two-pronged problem that new research suggests is far more pervasive and harmful than previously understood. The Hidden Crisis of Diagnostic Errors A groundbreaking study  published in BMJ Quality & Safety  has shed new light on the staggering toll of diagnostic errors in the United States.1 Led by Dr. David Newman-Toker and colleagues, this research provides the first rigorous national estimate of serious misdiagnosis-related harms across all clinical settings. The findings are alarming: approximately 795,000 Americans suffer permanent disability or death annually due to diagnostic errors.1 To put this number in perspective, it's more than twice the number of Americans who die from diabetes each year.2 It's equivalent to three fully-loaded 747 airplanes crashing every day for a year. Yet unlike airplane crashes, which provoke immediate public outcry and swift action, the crisis of diagnostic errors has remained largely hidden from public view. The "Big Three" Killers The study identifies three major categories of conditions - vascular events, infections, and cancers - dubbed the "Big Three," which account for 75.8% of all serious diagnostic errors.1 Within these categories, five conditions stand out as the deadliest when misdiagnosed: Stroke Sepsis Pneumonia Venous thromboembolism Lung cancer Together, these five conditions account for 38.7% of all serious harms from diagnostic errors.1 This concentration of harm in a relatively small number of conditions offers a potential roadmap for improvement efforts. The Anatomy of a Missed Diagnosis Diagnostic errors can occur in any healthcare setting, from primary care offices to emergency departments to hospital wards. They happen when healthcare providers fail to: Consider the correct diagnosis (cognitive error) Order the appropriate diagnostic test (process error) Interpret test results correctly (system error) Act on abnormal test results (communication error) Dr. Newman-Toker's research suggests that patients with dangerous diseases have about an 11% chance of being misdiagnosed initially.1 For those unlucky enough to fall into this category, the consequences can be devastating. The study estimates that 4% of patients with dangerous diseases that are misdiagnosed will either die or suffer permanent disability as a result.1 The Human Cost Behind these statistics are real people whose lives have been irrevocably altered by diagnostic errors. While individual cases can powerfully illustrate the impact of misdiagnosis, it's important to focus on the verified data from the study to understand the scale of this issue. The research by Newman-Toker et al. provides sobering insights into the human cost of diagnostic errors: Approximately 795,000 Americans suffer permanent disability or death annually due to diagnostic errors.1 Patients with dangerous diseases have about an 11% chance of being misdiagnosed initially.1 Of those misdiagnosed, 4% will either die or suffer permanent disability as a result.1 These figures underscore the urgent need for action to address diagnostic errors. The study's authors emphasize that this is a major public health problem that requires immediate attention. The Economic Burden Beyond the incalculable human toll, diagnostic errors impose a massive financial burden on the US healthcare system. While precise figures are difficult to determine, the study suggests that the cost of diagnostic errors could be substantial. This includes direct medical costs, lost productivity, and legal expenses from malpractice claims.1 Efforts to Improve Diagnosis The good news is that many diagnostic errors are preventable. The study suggests that reducing diagnostic errors by 50% for just the 15 most harmful diseases could potentially prevent 200,000 serious harms annually.1 Strategies to improve diagnosis include: Enhanced medical education and training in diagnostic reasoning Improved health information technology to support clinical decision-making Better communication between healthcare providers and patients Development of new diagnostic tools and technologies Several organizations, including the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine (SIDM), are leading efforts to address this critical issue.6 However, much more work remains to be done. The Other Side of the Coin: Overdiagnosis While the harm caused by missed or delayed diagnoses is significant, it represents only half of the diagnostic error equation. On the other side lies an equally pernicious problem: overdiagnosis. Overdiagnosis occurs when a condition is diagnosed that would never have caused symptoms or harm if left undetected.7 This can lead to unnecessary treatments, anxiety, and in some cases, serious harm to patients. The Scope of Overdiagnosis While precise estimates are challenging to obtain, research suggests that overdiagnosis is a widespread problem, particularly in cancer screening. A growing body of evidence indicates that the burden of harm from overdiagnosis may be comparable to that of underdiagnosis. Consider the following estimates: Breast Cancer : Studies suggest that 19-31% of breast cancers detected through mammography screening represent overdiagnosis.8 This translates to approximately 70,000 women in the US receiving unnecessary treatment each year.9 Prostate Cancer : As many as 30% of prostate cancers detected through PSA screening may be overdiagnosed, affecting 60,000 to 100,000 men annually.10 Many of these men undergo unnecessary surgeries or radiation therapy, risking serious side effects like incontinence and impotence. Thyroid Cancer : The dramatic increase in thyroid cancer diagnoses over the past few decades is largely attributed to overdiagnosis. Up to 90% of thyroid cancers detected may represent overdiagnosis, potentially affecting tens of thousands of patients each year.11 Lung Cancer : The National Lung Screening Trial found that about 18% of lung cancers detected through CT screening could be overdiagnosed.12 Adding these figures to the 795,000 harmed by missed diagnoses, we begin to approach a staggering total of over 1.5 million Americans potentially harmed each year by diagnostic errors of both under- and over-diagnosis. The Harms of Overtreatment Overdiagnosis invariably leads to overtreatment - subjecting patients to unnecessary and potentially harmful interventions. The consequences can be severe: Physical harm from unnecessary surgeries, radiation, or chemotherapy Psychological distress from a cancer diagnosis and treatment Financial burden from medical bills and lost work Reduced quality of life due to treatment side effects For example, a woman overdiagnosed with breast cancer may undergo unnecessary mastectomy, radiation, and years of hormone therapy - all for a cancer that would never have threatened her life.13 The Drivers of Overdiagnosis Several factors contribute to the growing problem of overdiagnosis: Improved screening and imaging technologies that detect ever-smaller abnormalities Lowered diagnostic thresholds for many conditions Financial incentives that reward more testing and treatment A culture of "more is better" in healthcare Fear of malpractice litigation driving defensive medicine The Economic Impact of Overdiagnosis The financial cost of overdiagnosis and overtreatment is staggering. One study estimated that the cost of unnecessary cancer treatment alone in the US could be $1.2 billion annually.14 When factoring in other conditions and indirect costs, the total economic burden likely reaches tens of billions of dollars each year. Balancing Act: The Challenge of Optimal Diagnosis The dual problems of missed diagnoses and overdiagnosis present a complex challenge for healthcare providers and policymakers. On one hand, failing to diagnose a serious condition can have catastrophic consequences. On the other, overzealous testing and treatment can subject patients to unnecessary harm. The key lies in finding the right balance - what some experts call the "sweet spot" of diagnosis.15 This requires a nuanced approach that considers: The probability of disease The potential benefits and harms of testing and treatment Patient preferences and values Here's an updated version of the article that includes mention of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and integrative approaches as potential solutions: Moving Forward: A Call to Action Addressing the twin crises of missed diagnoses and overdiagnosis will require a concerted effort from all stakeholders in the healthcare system. Key steps include: Increased funding for research on diagnostic errors and overdiagnosis Development of better metrics to measure diagnostic quality Implementation of decision support tools to aid clinicians in making accurate diagnosesEnhanced patient education and engagement in the diagnostic process Reform of medical education to place greater emphasis on diagnostic reasoning Policy changes to align financial incentives with high-quality diagnosis Integrative Approaches and Root Cause Resolution An emerging solution to the dual challenges of missed diagnoses and overdiagnosis is the implementation of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and integrative approaches alongside conventional medicine. These approaches often focus on root cause resolution of health problems, addressing underlying factors that contribute to disease rather than just treating symptoms. Key elements of this integrative approach include: Detoxification: Supporting the body's natural detoxification processes to reduce toxic burden and improve overall health. Dietary interventions: Utilizing nutrition as a powerful tool for prevention and healing, tailoring dietary recommendations to individual needs. Exercise: Promoting regular physical activity as a cornerstone of health and disease prevention. Mind-body techniques: Incorporating practices such as meditation , yoga , and mindfulness to address the psychological aspects of health and illness. Lifestyle modification: Addressing modifiable risk factors such as stress, sleep, and environmental exposures that can contribute to disease. By integrating these approaches with conventional medicine, healthcare providers may be better equipped to: Identify underlying causes of symptoms, potentially reducing missed diagnoses Offer alternatives to conventional screening practices (e.g. thermography versus x-ray mammography) and non-invasive, lower-risk interventions as alternatives to aggressive treatments, potentially reducing overdiagnosis and overtreatment Empower patients to take an active role in their health, potentially improving overall outcomes While more research is needed to fully evaluate the impact of these integrative approaches on diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes, they offer a promising avenue for addressing some of the systemic issues contributing to diagnostic errors and overdiagnosis. Conclusion The combined toll of missed diagnoses and overdiagnosis represents a public health crisis of staggering proportions. With potentially over 1.5 million Americans harmed each year, the need for action is urgent. By shining a light on this hidden epidemic, we can begin to implement the changes necessary to make healthcare safer, more effective, and truly patient-centered. The integration of CAM and integrative approaches with conventional medicine offers a potential path forward, focusing on root cause resolution and empowering patients to take an active role in their health. This holistic approach may help address some of the fundamental issues contributing to both missed diagnoses and overdiagnosis. As patients, providers, and policymakers, we all have a role to play in addressing this critical issue. The lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans hang in the balance. It's time to act, embracing a more comprehensive and integrative approach to healthcare that prioritizes accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and overall patient wellbeing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ References 1.

https://expose-news.com/2024/09/06/moderna-confirms-mrna-covid-vaccines-cause-cancer/ Moderna has admitted its mRNA COVID vaccine causes CANCER after billions of DNA fragments were found in vials of the dangerous injection. The revelation was made after Dr. Robert Malone recently made  an appearance  at an “Injuries Caused by COVID-19 Vaccines” hearing led by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), at which he revealed how Moderna’s patent shows that its (COVID-19) “vaccine” vials contain billions of DNA fragments and other contaminants linked to birth defects and cancer. At the hearing, Dr. Malone spoke about how Moderna acknowledges in its patent that RNA is preferable to DNA in vaccines because of the risks involved, but that the company’s mRNA injection, which was administered to tens of millions of people, is contaminated with the latter. “Moderna has a patent on the use of RNA for vaccines,” Dr Malone stated. “And in that, Moderna explicitly acknowledges that RNA is superior to DNA for vaccine purposes because problems, including the possibility of insertional mutagenesis that could lead to the activation of oncogenes or the inactivation of tumour suppressor genes.” “FDA says they’re not aware of any concerns, but Moderna, in its own patent, lays out exactly the same concerns that exist about DNA in insertional mutagenesis and genotoxicity.“ So, Moderna knows it – DNA is a contaminant. It is left in because of the way they make it … they use DNA to make RNA, and then they degrade the DNA, and then they have to purify the degraded DNA away from the RNA, and the process they are using is not that good.” Pfizer’s mRNA jab for COVID also contaminated with cancer-causing DNA fragments Scientists from the United States and Canada were able to get their hands on unopened vials of Moderna’s COVID jab, with a clear chain of custody, and sampled them. This is their expertise, just to be clear: they do deep sequencing on samples and relay their findings for the public good. What they discovered were large numbers of DNA fragments in the RNA preparation, to which they applied standard reconstruction tools to see what the circular plasmid DNAs looked like – none of this was disclosed to the public, by the way. The documentation suggests that there are certain DNA sequences present in the vials that are normally not allowed in anything that is going to go into humans, “not the least of which is an antibiotic resistance gene,” Dr. Malone explained. “They include these sequences from Simian Virus 40 – not the whole virus, but highly active promoter sequences – which is exactly the thing that the FDA in their older regulations said must be avoided because it confers even more risk for insertional mutagenesis.” It turns out that Pfizer’s mRNA injection for COVID contains the same contaminants. Documentation was provided by the company to regulators in the U.S., Europe and Canada. These regulators deleted  the little notation about SV40 sequences in an apparent attempt to hide it from the public. “The FDA didn’t take the raw DNA sequences, reconstruct those plasmid maps, and look at them themselves,” Dr. Malone clarified. “They just took for granted what Pfizer had given them. And now this is all coming out because of what these researchers found.” High-level people at both Moderna and Pfizer had to have known about this, Dr Malone said, the potential consequences for jab recipients being “anything that is associated with DNA damage, i.e., birth defects and cancer being the most notable ones.”

https://www.newstarget.com/2024-09-05-ivermectin-outperforms-chemo-breast-cancer-treatment-study.html Research out of Mexico has uncovered another use for ivermectin than just getting rid of parasites and coronaviruses. It turns out that ivermectin is also an effective remedy against cancer. Research dating back to 1996 shows a link between the two, with more recent research published in 2017 showing that ivermectin is an inhibitor of cancer stem cells. While tumor growth is generally driven by so-called bulk tumor cells, there is another subpopulation of cells within cancer tumors that present a stem cell phenotype. As such, these cells are referred to in the scientific literature as "cancer stem-like cells" or CSCs. What makes cancer stem-like cells such a threat is the fact that they have unlimited self-renew properties, meaning they just keep reproducing endlessly. This is how many severe cancers take over a person's body and lay it waste, often very quickly depending on the type. Back in 2009, researchers from MIT and Harvard found that salinomycin, another antiparasitic drug, helps to reduce breast cancer stem cells by more than 100-fold compared to the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel (Taxol). Salinomycin also inhibited the growth of breast tumors, the research team found. Building upon this earlier research, scientists from Mexico City in the more recent study from 2017 looked for the molecule most resembling salinomycin. They probed 1,623 compounds, only to learn that the one responsible for destroying cancer cells is none other than ivermectin. "Ivermectin preferentially inhibits the viability of cancer stem cell-enriched populations compared with the total cell population," their research states. "The opposite pattern was observed with paclitaxel treatment." (Related: In order for ivermectin to work at its best, one must take the drug with high-fat foods for maximum absorption.) Ivermectin decreases expression of "stemness genes" expressed in cancer stem cells Another thing ivermectin does, according to the newer research, is prevent three different "stemness genes" from expressing themselves. These stemness genes are highly expressed in cancer stem cells, and by inhibiting their expression, ivermectin makes it a lot harder for cancer tumors to grow and spread. In their conclusion, the Mexican scientists declared that, based on everything they looked at, ivermectin preferentially targets the stem cell population in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells, which are what they studied. "Ivermectin has been demonstrated to be safe, following treatment of millions of patients with onchocerciasis and other parasitic diseases, which makes it a strong candidate for further studies investigating its potential use as a repurposed drug for cancer therapy," the study further concludes. All in all, ivermectin was found to work significantly better – up to 100-fold and with no serious side effects – than chemotherapy drugs. The drug selectively targets the cancer stem cells that not only interfere with conventional cancer treatments but also drive metastasis and breast cancer recurrence. "Bottom line: Every advanced breast cancer patient should get ivermectin to eliminate cancer stem cells and reduce the risks of treatment failure, metastases and recurrence," tweeted Dr. William Makis, M.D., about the discovery. "So why don't they? I think we all know the answer." Keep in mind that mammograms only make the problem worse by smashing open the cancer lumps. This causes the parasites to get released and "go wild," which in turn leads to serious cancer diagnoses. "Ivermectin is proving to be an extraordinary drug with a wide range of potential benefits beyond its traditional uses," someone wrote in response to Dr. Makis' post. "The research on its effectiveness against cancer stem cells, particularly when combined with other treatments like fenbendazole or menbendazole, is compelling. It's remarkable how a drug that's been around for decades continues to reveal its versatility and potential in treating serious conditions like cancer."

Japan has issued a dire warning about the mRNA vaccines that were administered globally in late 2020 and declared “safe and effective.” According to Japanese scientists, these vaccines are safely reducing the global population and effectively collapsing populations. The scientists, among the most respected in the world, also allege that international organizations such as the UN, along with multiple world governments, are involved in a massive cover-up to hide the full extent of this catastrophic loss of life. According to the scientists, over one billion people have already perished, with many more deaths expected to follow. Japan’s findings are redefining our understanding of the global depopulation crisis and highlighting the urgent need to hold those responsible for crimes against humanity accountable.

https://www.newstarget.com/2024-09-04-study-sea-surface-temperature-impacts-co2-levels.html Despite all the hysteria surrounding human emissions, it turns out that fossil fuel emissions have a negligible impact on atmospheric CO2 levels, especially when compared to natural phenomenon like natural fluctuations in sea surface temperatures. A groundbreaking new study challenges the long-standing belief that human emissions are the primary driver of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO?) concentrations. The research, published in the Science of Climate Change , argues that sea surface temperatures (SST) play a far more significant role than anthropogenic (human-caused) factors in determining annual changes in atmospheric CO? levels. This research calls into question every climate change agenda proposed by global governments and institutions. Sea surface temperatures dictate atmospheric CO2 levels, not fossil fuel emissions Using multivariate analysis and publicly available data from leading climate and energy organizations, Dao Ato's study compares the impacts of sea surface temperature and human emissions on atmospheric CO? concentrations. The analysis spanned from 1959 to 2022 and employed multiple linear regression techniques to evaluate the influence of sea surface temperature and human CO? emissions on the annual increase in atmospheric CO?. The results reveal that sea surface temperature data, derived from NASA and the UK-HADLEY Centre datasets, was the most accurate predictor of CO? concentrations. The regression model incorporating sea surface temperature explained approximately 66% of the variance in annual CO? increases post-1959, with a remarkably high correlation between predicted and actual CO? levels. The study found a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.9995 between the CO? concentrations predicted using sea surface temperature data from the UK-HADLEY Centre and actual measurements from NOAA, with a minimal prediction error of 1.45 ppm in 2022. In contrast, human CO? emissions showed no significant correlation with annual changes in atmospheric CO?. Ato’s study also found that human methane emissions, despite rising dramatically in recent decades, have not contributed to rising methane concentrations in the atmosphere through the 21st century. Sea surface temperature data from NASA's GISS and the UK-HADLEY Centre similarly demonstrated strong correlations with atmospheric CO? levels, surpassing the much smaller, insignificant correlations between human emissions and atmospheric CO2 levels. The study also challenges the accuracy of historical CO? records, noting discrepancies between ice core data and modern measurements. Multiple linear regression models revealed that sea surface temperature was a statistically significant explanatory factor for annual CO? increases, while human emissions were not. Specifically, sea surface temperature accounted for 57% to 66% of the variance in CO? levels, depending on the dataset used. The study’s findings suggest that natural variations in sea surface temperature, rather than human activities, are the dominant factor influencing fluctuations in atmospheric CO?. This study challenges the prevailing narrative that human emissions are the primary driver of climate change, and should call into question all global government narratives surrounding the climate change agenda. Growing body of research finds atmospheric CO2 levels not dependent on fossil fuel emissions This study builds upon previous research in 2013 by Wang et al ., which assessed CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion and land use changes. The study found that these man-made activities only account for +0.1 to 0.3 PgC/yr of the annual change in CO2 concentration, which is approximately only one tenth of the variance of oxygen on the CO2 growth rate. Further back, in a 2005 study , researchers found that changes in atmospheric CO2 changes were NOT associated with annual fossil fuel emissions and are unlikely to explain CO2 growth rate anomalies. In addition, a 2009 study by Dr. Jari Ahlbeck evaluated the correlation between fossil fuel emissions and the increase in CO2 growth rates, but found the correlation to be “clearly statistically insignificant.” Fossil fuel emissions had such a negligible impact on atmospheric CO2 that he ultimately excluded it from consideration in his analysis of the mechanisms of CO2 variability. In other words, man-made activities have a negligible impact on the planet. Most of the temperature and weather changes on Earth are natural, and the level of CO2 in the atmosphere is out of our control and should not be the concern of any global government or activist organization.

https://beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/2024/09/one-of-worlds-largest-dementia-clusters-in-young-people-may-be-tied-to-high-blood-levels-of-glyphosate/ ( Beyond Pesticides , September 3, 2024) A piercing investigative article in the August 14 New York Times by journalist Greg Donahue reveals the abandonment of a group of brain disease patients in an area of Canada with forestry management for paper products, agriculture, and large amounts of pesticide use, including glyphosate. It illustrates the tension in the relationship between government authorities, regulated industries, and neurologist (physician) on the front lines. The article details the manner in which health officials appeared to manipulate their own investigation of a disease cluster to make it less disruptive to the economy of the Canadian province of New Brunswick. (This Beyond Pesticides analysis, where not otherwise indicated, draws on Mr. Donahue’s article.) New Brunswick has one major town, Moncton, and a large rural area characterized by agriculture and forestry. The province’s agriculture industry is dominated by blueberry production , which occupies the fourth largest amount of agricultural land in New Brunswick. About half the province is forested, with increasing amounts of land devoted to tree plantations intended for paper production. Glyphosate is hands-down the most heavily used pesticide in New Brunswick forestry, and New Brunswick is second only to Ontario in Canada’s total area of glyphosate-treated forest. The herbicide is especially heavily used in clearcuts and tree plantations. Glyphosate’s innocence, assumed for decades since it entered the market in 1974, has been thoroughly disproved. According to a comprehensive 2020 review , it is toxic to cells; disrupts hormones and gut microbe balance; contributes to non-alcoholic liver disease; may trigger heart arrhythmias; has been strongly correlated with multiple myeloma and large B-cell lymphoma; and less strongly correlated with melanoma, leukemia, and colon, rectal, bladder and kidney cancers. There is ongoing dispute over its association with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, despite the International Agency for Research on Cancer’s classification of the herbicide as “ probably carcinogenic to humans ” and thousands of lawsuits brought by victims, many with multimillion dollar jury awards for adverse health effects. Glyphosate also has numerous neurological effects. It crosses the blood-brain barrier and triggers a type of inflammation implicated in Alzheimer’s disease. A 2022 review found effects including, in humans, elevated risk of autism from childhood exposures and, in rodents, anxiety, impaired working memory, decreased curiosity, decreased movement, and other problems. It can be a source of inflammation-related pain . See Beyond Pesticides August 31, 2023 Daily News post , “Study Finds Glyphosate Exposure Among the General Population Poses a Risk to Neurological Health” for further detail. Paraquat has also been used extensively in Canada . A class action lawsuit was filed August 15 in Canada for compensation to victims of Gramoxone, whose active ingredient is paraquat. The herbicide is no longer used in Canada and is banned in 32 other countries (but still used in the U.S.). The Canadian litigation aims to achieve justice for victims all the way back to paraquat’s introduction in 1962. The neurological cases came from both Moncton and the rural Acadian Peninsula. As the cases emerged, the victims consulted a neurologist, Alier Marrero, M.D., for help with problems typical of a variety of neurodegenerative diseases. For example, in 2018, an 81-year-old man became very quiet. He thought it was 1992. He obsessed over a decades-old business transaction in which he believed he had been cheated. Then he began having seizures and died the next month. Other victims had a variety of similar problems, including limb pain, balance problems, teeth chattering, muscle spasms, impaired vision, hallucinations, and muscle wasting. Some patients died; others became stuck in zombie-like states. At this point, Dr. Marrero had seen more than 20 cases and eight people had died. Marrero suspected a common environmental exposure, perhaps an entirely new disease. New Brunswick hospital doctors told the 81-year-old’s children their father had Creuzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), which is caused by misfolding proteins in the brain called prions. It is very rare. According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health , there are about 350 cases of CJD annually in the U.S. The doctors conducted further tests on the man’s brain. Three months later they told his children it was not CJD. They did not provide an alternative diagnosis. Mr. Donahue’s New York Times reporting does not occur in a vacuum. New Brunswick has been struggling with the issue of pesticides for some time. First Nation groups have been pressuring governments to reduce or eliminate pesticide use, especially in areas where they continue to forage for food. Many are reluctant to forage in clearcuts , knowing that the cuts have been sprayed with glyphosate. A few steps have been taken by government agencies. In 2019, the province reduced aerial glyphosate spraying along power lines in certain areas. In June 2021—during the same time period when the disease cluster was being dismissed by provincial authorities—a New Brunswick legislative committee held hearings on further controlling glyphosate use on paper plantations and blueberry farms. Its report calling for new restrictions was tabled . Indigenous people were not included in the testimony until one of the First Nation leaders made an unscheduled appearance. As of this writing, there does not appear to be any new law regulating pesticide use in New Brunswick. In 2022, Dr. Marrero sent 101 samples from his cluster to a lab in Quebec, which had officially recognized a connection between glyphosate and increased risk for Parkinson’s in 2021. Ninety percent of his samples had elevated blood levels of glyphosate. One reached 15,000 times the limit of detection. Pesticide levels in New Brunswick’s general population do not appear to be available, so there was no control group. Health Canada’s biomonitoring program includes glyphosate, but the public-facing dashboard does not break the data down by province or provide interpretation. Dr. Marrero had been reporting his cases to Canada’s Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance System. He found support there and in the Canadian federal health agency. In March 2021, a memo to local doctors about the cases was leaked to the press, causing international attention. Within a month of the leaked memo, federal scientists assembled a working group. Canada’s federal health research agency granted $5 million for a study that would have included interviews, diagnostic tests, and samples from humans and the environment. From this point on, the investigation of the potential cluster and its possible explanations was rapidly derailed by intergovernmental turf wars in which one combatant was determined to make the problem go away. Within 20 months of the federal investigative study startup, the project was shut down by provincial authorities. They manipulated certain guidelines of scientific inquiry to arrive at conclusions favorable to the parties that might be responsible for the disease cluster. The footprint of industry appears in silhouette: its influence is not acknowledged in the official discourse, but its outline is visible in the shape of the provincial government’s behavior. According to Mr. Donahue’s article, in an email circulated to provincial participants on May 6, the New Brunswick health authority “paused” the federal study and its working group to have the provincial health department “delve more deeply into existing data.” Ten days later, Dr Marrero was instructed by the province to stop reporting cases to the province, on instructions from “higher up.” New Brunswick officials’ internal communications show they were trying to keep the investigation from involving the federal people. For example, to prevent the project from being “multijurisdictional,” they eliminated two victims from the cluster who had moved out of New Brunswick. The province also told the federal health authorities to stop communicating with the public because people in New Brunswick were becoming oversensitive. It then appointed its own new committee to oversee a surveillance study without providing details to victims and their supporters. There is an information gap here suggesting that the province wanted to retain control because it believed the federal agencies would not be sufficiently sensitive to the economic impacts of any admission that environmental exposures to chemicals used in forestry and agriculture could be causing the problems. Along with the federal investigation “pause,” the pathologist who did the autopsies on the first eight fatal cases decided there was nothing to the purported cluster. He announced that the null hypothesis explained everything. The null hypothesis dictates that we must assume there is no effect of whatever variable we are testing—in this case that there might be a new disease and it might be caused by environmental exposure. One of the federal working group experts called the pathologist’s position a “loophole” allowing policymakers and politicians to pretend nothing was really going on. At this point, Kat Lanteigne, and writer and advocate, received an anonymous text saying the province was not serious about its investigation. Ms. Lanteigne is a New Brunswick native and campaigner for a safe blood supply in Canada. She followed up on the cluster issue and found that the provincial study had gone back to the federal group’s original findings in order to decide that there could not be a new disease because the victims did not have a common condition and many of their symptoms overlapped with multiple diseases. This kind of reasoning illustrates several of the most serious problems with modern medical science. First is the silo problem. The neurologists in the New Brunswick public health system were oblivious to the plethora of research in public health itself, and in environmental health, establishing the influence of environmental exposures on disease. This allowed them to excise the idea from consideration. Second, the New Brunswick cases included numerous households with multiple victims who were not genetically related, suggesting that a common external exposure was likely, yet the provincial health authorities eliminated any search for a toxicant—this despite the widespread adoption among scientists of the term “exposome” to encompass the thousands of environmental substances that leave their marks on humans and the biosphere. Further, it is now commonly recognized that genes, upbringing, and external exposures interact and that very few diseases are caused by one influence alone. As the reality that diseases result from many factors becomes more and more obvious, policymakers, regulators, and health officials alike must consider cross-disciplinary evidence. In a December 2022 article in The Walrus about the New Brunswick cluster, a senior Canadian federal scientist said, “We have an unbelievably capable set of tools to look at biological and epidemiological and environmental characteristics…It’s amazing, the potential that is not being tapped.” Third, the provincial health authorities failed to consider that the causes of symptoms that occur in multiple diseases may originate farther back in the causal chain than they have looked. For example, see Beyond Pesticides’ post “Research Links Parkinson’s and Lewy Body Disease with Chemical Effects on Brain and Gut,” which details the efforts of University of Rochester neurologist E. Ray Dorsey, M.D. to follow up on evidence that Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia may be the same disease, both caused by environmental exposures—such as to paraquat—but in which the damage travels to the brain from the gut nervous system in one manifestation and via the nasal nerves in the other. Dr. Dorsey has since gone so far as to call Parkinson’s “ man-made .” On February 24, 2022, the province’s chief medical officer announced the provincial oversight committee had finished its work. It “could find no common exposure in the group.” In the final report, provincial health officials said the case definition was overly broad and overlapped other diseases. Therefore, they said, no human tissue testing was necessary. The federal scientists appear to disagree with the province’s conclusions. Michael Coulthart, PhD, head of the federal surveillance system for CJD, said, “My scientific opinion is that there is something real going on in [New Brunswick] that absolutely cannot be explained by the bias or agenda of an individual neurologist.” He, too, thought there must be “an environmental trigger.” Once the provincial inquiry concluded, patients were routed back to the doctors who had referred them to Dr. Marrero in the first place. They were told by provincial health officials what their doctors should consider as diagnoses, such as schizophrenia, progressive supranuclear palsy, cancer, alcoholism-induced brain damage, HIV, and various dementias. Depending on the individual patient, most of those conditions had been ruled out before they were referred to Dr. Marrero. Dr. Marrero now has 430 patients with undiagnosable conditions, and 111 of them are under 45. Thirty-nine have died. New Brunswick, Dr. Marrero says, is the center of one of the largest dementia clusters in young people in the world. The New Brunswick victims join a long line of populations whose sacrifice to industry has been abetted by captured experts and government officials who define their investigations in such a way as to eliminate consideration of vast amounts of relevant evidence. Victims usually have to endure years of suffering and effort, self-funding testing and further study, before accumulating the political influence to change the direction of a regulatory apparatus that grinds far too slowly toward justice.

https://expose-news.com/2024/09/05/falling-birth-rates-civilised-nations-future-hands/ There is growing concern about declining fertility rates across many Western nations. This trend has significant social, economic, and demographic implications. Here’s an overview of the situation: Many Western countries have fertility rates below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman, which is needed to maintain a stable population without having to resort to using immigration. For example, countries like Italy, Spain, and Japan (although not Western but often included in discussions of advanced economies) have some of the lowest fertility rates, often around or below 1.5 children per woman. Both the US and the UK have also been falling significantly in the last few decades to 1.6 in 2023. As fertility rates are declining, the proportion of older individuals in the population increases, leading to an ageing population. This shift results in a higher dependency on the fewer working-age people that are required to support a growing number of retirees. The high costs of living, expensive housing, and economic uncertainty that we are all experiencing makes it especially difficult for young people to afford to raise children. In many Western countries, economic insecurity, particularly among younger generations, has been a significant factor in declining birth rates. However, radical changes to the social norms, including the rise of young people being brainwashed into believing that we are all gender fluid, that child terminations are a a simple fix to suit their lives, as well as being told the sanctity of marriage and family is worth nothing, all contributes to lower fertility. Young people, therefore, are choosing in many cases to have no children at all. Map showing nation fertility rates 2023 ( source ) Map showing countries above or below replacement level ( source ) Some governments have introduced policies to encourage higher birth rates, such as paid parental leave, child allowances, and subsidies for childcare. However, the effectiveness of these policies are limited. Some countries rely on immigration to offset the declining birth rates and to try to maintain population growth and economic stability. However, this can also lead to social and political problems. If we take the United States as an example, immigration is expected to be a significant driver of U.S. population growth. While the birth rate among the U.S.-born population is declining, the makeup of the United States by 2050 will greatly contrast that of the early 2000’s. 47% of the population will be non-Hispanic whites, 29% will be Hispanics, and 5% of the population will be of Asian descent. The black population will remain approximately the same in number from 2005, during which it made up 13% of the population. ( source ) In the long term, the declining native-born fertility rates will lead to significant social changes, including shifts in family structures, community breakdown and cultural differences that may never be reversed. Many western countries are already seeing a huge change within many communities, leaving them unrecognisable to what they were even just a decade ago. The Social welfare systems are funded by the current workforce’s contributions. A declining birth rate would see fewer workers able to support the growing number of retirees, potentially leading to funding shortfalls, unless governments wake up to this emergency now. Similar to social security, pension systems might face sustainability challenges. Without enough younger workers contributing to these systems, there could be a need for some harsh reforms, such as raising the retirement age, increasing taxes, or reducing benefits. A declining birth rate would mean fewer workers to support the growing number of retirees, potentially leading to funding shortfalls unless reforms are made now. The changing demographic in the US, as with all western nations, driven by a huge influx of undocumented immigrants, could lead to shifts in national identity, cultural norms, as well as the future political landscape. This might also influence fierce debates around multiculturalism, integration, and national cohesion. Also as the population ages, the political landscape may shift towards issues that are more pertinent to older adults, such as healthcare, pensions, and taxation policies. The needs and priorities of younger generations may receive less focus. Younger populations tend to drive innovation and technological advancement. A smaller young population might lead to reduced creativity and fewer technological breakthroughs, which could impact long-term productivity and economic competitiveness. With fewer young consumers, markets may shift towards products and services tailored to the older population. This could change the nature of consumer demand and the types of industries that thrive. Rural areas would also be more significantly impacted by declining birth rates, leading to further urbanisation as young people move to cities for opportunities. This could exacerbate the challenges faced by rural communities, such as declining services and an economic nightmare, turning smaller communities into ghost towns. Population size is often correlated with global influence. The US currently has a over 2 million serving military, which creates safety and stability both nationally and across the globe, but with a shrinking population, not only does it raise domestic risk from outside terrorism, but it could affect the country’s geopolitical power and influence in the eyes of other nations. Falling birth rates in the US could lead to profound economic, social, and political changes. Addressing these challenges would require a strong approach from strong leaders, not afraid to face these tough challenges head on with the haste needed to begin to reverse this decline. The more immigration that is accepted by western nations in order to ease the immediate gaps in the workforce, the more native populations are replaced over time, and people are brainwashed into thinking they have a moral responsibility to accept unbridled numbers of anyone who manages to corrupt their national borders. In 2023 alone, illegal migrants to the US topped 2 million, How can the citizens of any nation contain and absorb these high levels in such a short time, while simultaneously not being encouraged to have future generations of their own. Having children is obviously a huge responsibility, however, being a parent is the most natural gift given to any one of us, and western countries need to be showing that being part of a loving, caring family is literally at the heart of any nation, without which, it would inevitably cause the end of empires.

https://expose-news.com/2024/09/05/climate-science-societies-are-suffering-from-mass-delusion/ Renowned American physicist, member of the CO2 Coalition , and a life fellow of both the American Physical Society (“APS”) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (“IEEE”) Wallace Manheimer has expressed concerns about the climate crisis narrative and its implications for modern civilisation. Wallace Manheimer argues that there is no scientific basis for expecting a climate crisis from increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere within the next century and the emphasis on a false climate crisis is becoming a tragedy for modern civilisation. His research debunks many fashionable claims surrounding politicised “settled” climate science. And he argues that “Net Zero” policies would be disastrous, unreliable and expensive, both in the United States and globally.  He has also expressed dismay at learned societies making definitive claims despite the availability of contrary information. Last year, Manheimer published a book titled ‘ MASS DELUSIONS: How they harm sustainable energy, climate policy, fusion and fusion breeding ’. In June 2024, a paper authored by Manheimer titled ‘ Science Societies’ Climate Statements: Some Concerns ’ was published in the Open Journal of Applied Sciences . A summary of which, authored by Manheimer, was published last year in The Washington Times . In The Washington Times ’ article , Manheimer described how statements by scientific societies, such as APS, are often used to justify extreme measures for addressing a supposed climate emergency. However, these proclamations are frequently almost universally false and do real harm. Manheimer highlighted APS’s statement on climate change, which asserts that anthropogenic greenhouse gases have become the dominant driver of global warming. However, he disputes this claim, citing a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”) graph of world temperature from 1880 to 2022 showing that temperature increases before and after carbon dioxide’s rise in the atmosphere were similar. Additionally, he references historical and archaeological evidence of warmer periods, including the Holocene optimum, Roman optimum and medieval optimum, which contradict the notion of a catastrophic, human-induced climate crisis. Manheimer suggests that APS may have been swayed by the “climate industrial complex” or prioritised grant funding over scientific integrity: This author cannot read the minds of APS leadership. However, two possibilities are hard to dismiss: (1) The organisation was so completely taken in by what renowned physicist Richard Lindzen has called a “mass delusion” that carbon dioxide threatens climate doom that APS did not even perform minimal due diligence or (2) even worse, APS knows that there are big-dollar grants for alarmists, but none for sceptics. It may have sold its soul to the devil. Scientific societies risk reputations by endorsing climate scare: There is no unanimity among us , Wallace Manheimer, The Washington Post, 11 April 2023 On Wednesday, Manheimer joined the Tom Nelson Podcast to present and expand on his June 2024 paper.  His presentation covers an overview of climate crisis scepticism, arguments against net zero carbon emissions, historical climate data and misinterpretations, the impact of carbon dioxide on plant growth, an analysis of scientific societies’ climate statements and much more. Speaking of the scientific society leaders he said, “How can people who are so smart do something that is so dumb?  I believe there’s no other explanation for it other than mass delusion, they’re suffering a mass delusion.” Climate Realism: Wallace Manheimer: “Science Societies’ Climate Statements: Some Concerns” | Tom Nelson Pod #243 , 4 September 2024 (64 mins) If you are unable to watch the video above on Rumble, you can watch it on YouTube HERE and you can find slides for Manheimer’s presentation HERE .  There is a detailed chapter description, with timestamps, in the description below the video on both Rumble and YouTube which we have reproduced below: 00:00  Introduction to the Guest and Topic 01:05  Overview of Climate Crisis Scepticism 01:48  Books and Authors Challenging Climate Alarmism 05:00  Arguments Against Net Zero Carbon Emissions 05:58  Battery Backup Cost Analysis 11:12  Historical Climate Data and Misinterpretations 12:53  Scientific Method and Climate Predictions 14:50  Critique of Scientific Societies’ Climate Statements 19:18  Evidence from Historical Climate Events 29:33  Impact of Carbon Dioxide on Plant Growth 33:12  Extreme Weather Events and Climate Change 35:53  Analysing Historical Hurricane Data 38:32  Wildfire Trends and Misconceptions 40:36  Climate Change and Human Health 44:04  Debunking Climate Change Assertions 46:40  Arctic and Antarctic Sea Ice Analysis 49:18  Critique of Scientific Societies 53:00  Public Reaction and Future Energy Solutions 54:59  Q&A Session
