Flashback: Escaped, Mutated GM Maize on the Loose Maybe Carrying AIDS Virus
USDA Refused to Admit Which Pharmaceutical GM Crop Escaped Test Fields and Has Been On the Loose Since 2002!
Big PHARMA crops carrying the AIDS virus in corn circa 2002. Clearly, biotech, the military, other entities have been dangerously experimenting on the public without consent for some time. But is something so out of control and unregulated as growing the AIDS virus really going on? Yes, shockingly, it’s true!
Back in November 2002, it was exposed that a company called Prodigene had contaminated fields in Iowa, after a GMO crop carrying a potentially dangerous & deadly viral strain escaped and possibly transmutated. Soya fields were planted in the same locations and tainted from remains of the experimental variety. The USDA, who granted the biotech firm 85 test permits for 96 sites throughout the U.S. Midwest, refused to identify the “escaped” crop. Instead, the USDA quietly oversaw the destruction of the contaminated fields, unwilling to damage the biotech industry with scandal, despite a previous episode of pharma-contamination from the same firm in Nebraska.
The government ordered ProdiGene to burn 155 acres of the contaminated crop in Iowa in September after inspectors found stray biotech corn plants growing in the field. A similar incident occurred in Nebraska in October.
And what were they pharming? A protein found on the surface of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, for one, which was to be harvested for an AIDS vaccination. Other pharming tests conducted by Prodigene include, reportedly, an experimental oral Hepatitis B vaccine, another for a virus transmitted by pigs, another a blood-clotting agent, another an insulin enzyme, others for things like industrial adhesives. Edible GMO vaccines, tailored to the world’s (overpopulation) ailments. Scary stuff!
That’s wild, mutating AIDS virus strains and/or experimental-vaccine formulas, etc. potentially on the loose! Dangerous doesn’t begin to explain this. All or some of these experimental GM may be blowing in the wind, passing along traits as it cross-pollinates the very Iowa corn fields growing our foods, and on to other fields from there.
Reuters reported that at least 300 acres of pharmaceutical crops had been planted (in 2002) and companies like Dow Chemical and Monsanto were lined up to do tests. Some called to ban the experiments and jail those responsible at Prodigene, a company based in the university community of College Station, Texas.
As of 2003, the company was slapped on the wrist with a $250,000 fine after what Nature called a “puzzling” USDA/FDA judgement. Further, whereas developers were set to accept a partially-voluntary ban on experimental pharming in the Midwest, Congress insisted that the biotech industry have carte blanche to go on willing:
BIO emphasized that… member companies would be better off by voluntarily refraining from growing test plots of, for instance, engineered corn plants in the corn belt.However, relentless political heat, particularly from Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA), led BIO to retreat from this position by early December.

Shots In The Dark: Silence on Vaccine
Following the increase in cases of autism and other immune disorders among some particularly vulnerable people, several recognized specialists are questioning the safety of large-scale vaccination. Despite the serious side effects, pharmaceutical companies, the medical profession and government authorities continue to bury their heads in the sand, refusing to see a serious problem. In Quebec, the United States and France, as in most industrialized countries, victims are almost without recourse despite the high toxicity of substances such as mercury and aluminum contained in vaccines. With this hard-hitting documentary, Lina B. Moreco highlights a very worrying public health problem.
Since they were introduced in the early 20th century, vaccines have been a tremendous medical and scientific success. Today perceived as a necessity, they are so familiar to us that their potential risks are rarely mentioned.
However, the stakes are significant. Based on recommendations of health agencies, North American children receive about 48 doses of 14 different vaccines before the age of 6 — double the amount prescribed 25 years earlier. Despite this extraordinary increase, few studies independent of the pharmaceutical industry have been conducted into their long-term side effects. This is a disturbing situation given the numerous toxins, including mercury and aluminum, contained in some commonly administered vaccines.
Several worried pediatricians and scientists are sounding the alarm. Some of the research underway indicates that vaccination is directly responsible for immune or neurological disorders among certain people genetically or neurologically predisposed to react badly to vaccine components. Cases of autism, multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, macrophagic myofasciitis, encephalitis, paralysis and neuropathies indicate the seriousness of the situation.
Despite these findings, the pharmaceutical industry and government authorities deny there is a serious problem. Relying on perfunctory studies, some of which date back to the late 1920s, they reject out of hand any cause-and-effect relationship. Given the known fact that adding preservatives such as thimerosal (mercury) helps reduce production costs, the reaction of the pharmaceutical industry is at the very least puzzling. Preferring not to question a system that has proved its worth, a majority of the medical profession’s members reject any potential toxicity in vaccines.
Autism made in the U.S.A
In this award-winning documentary film Gary Null explores the causes and solutions to the recent epidemic of autism in our children. In this film you will see children who have made an extraordinary recovery from autism speak in their own words.
Dr. Andrew Wakefield takes legal action against Brian Deer, BMJ and Godlee
The scandal involving Dr. Andrew Wakefield’s case study research into the link between the combination measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism may go down as one of the biggest cases of malicious fraud in history — but such fraud was not committed by Dr. Wakefield. In a new lawsuit, Dr. Wakefield is seeking to recover exemplary damages for the heinous libel, slander and defamation committed against him by the British Medical Journal (BMJ); Dr. Fiona Godlee, BMJ‘s editor; and pseudo-journalist Brian Deer, all of whom have worked tirelessly to destroy his life and career throughout the past year.
The lawsuit, filed in Travis County, Texas, District Court, names BMJ, Godlee, and Deer as the defendants for having maliciously published deliberate lies about Dr. Wakefield’s 1998 case study paper that was published in The Lancet back in 1998. These lies, which officially began their spread back in early 2010 when Dr. Wakefield’s paper was forcibly retracted, include falsely accusing Dr. Wakefield of fabricating and manipulating research data, and using autistic children for his own personal gain (http://www.naturalnews.com/031211_Andrew_Wakefield_BMJ.html).
BMJ first published Deer’s “investigative” hit-piece on Dr. Wakefield, entitled Secrets of the MMR Scare: How the Case Against the MMR Vaccine was Fixed, back on January 5, 2011. This was followed by several corresponding editorials written by Godlee that were published just a few days later.
Within days, these vaccine industry-funded slam pieces snowballed into a worldwide slander-fest against Dr. Wakefield, which included several appearances by Deer on CNN’s American Morning show and Anderson Cooper’s 360 show, where he had the audacity to call Dr. Wakefield a “determined cheat.” So not only did BMJ knowingly publish lies against Dr. Wakefield, but Deer traveled the world spreading them as well.

Heart disease drug ‘combats racism’
A common heart disease drug may have the unusual side-effect of combating racism, a new study suggests.
Volunteers given the beta-blocker, used to treat chest pains and lower heart rates, scored lower on a standard psychological test of “implicit” racist attitudes.
They appeared to be less racially prejudiced at a subconscious level than another group treated with a “dummy” placebo pill.
Scientists believe the discovery can be explained by the fact that racism is fundamentally founded on fear.
Propranolol acts both on nerve circuits that govern automatic functions such as heart rate, and the part of the brain involved in fear and emotional responses. The drug is also used to treat anxiety and panic.
Experimental psychologist Dr Sylvia Terbeck, from Oxford University, who led the study published in the journal Psychopharmacology, said: “Our results offer new evidence about the processes in the brain that shape implicit racial bias.
“Implicit racial bias can occur even in people with a sincere belief in equality. Given the key role that such implicit attitudes appear to play in discrimination against other ethnic groups, and the widespread use of propranolol for medical purposes, our findings are also of considerable ethical interest.”
Two groups of 18 participants took part in the study. Each volunteer was asked to undertake a “racial Implicit Association Test” (IAT) one to two hours after taking propranolol or the placebo.
The test involved categorising positive and negative words, and pictures of black and white individuals, on a computer screen.
How FDA and Big Pharma mislead millions into taking dangerous anti-depressants
(NaturalNews) The anti-depressant fraud toothpaste is out of the tube, at least partly. A Harvard Medical School psychologist, Irving Kirsch, who has been studying placebo effects for three decades, recently came up with the documented conclusion that pharmaceutical anti-depressants don’t work.
This is big news for many Natural News readers and writers. But this conclusion had the prescription-pad psychiatrists and FDA crying foul, loudly. Why? Kirsch’s conclusion was featured in a national CBS 60 Minutes television report.
Even more importantly, Kirsch’s conclusion was evidence based on documents from obtained using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Those documents were trial results from drug companies that were not published and presented to the FDA.
Drug companies pay the FDA for approving their drugs. But the FDA doesn’t do the trials or reports. They simply take them from the drug companies who all do their own trials and decide which reports to publish and submit.
Kirsch discovered that most anti-depressant trials showed no proof of efficacy. Those results were simply hidden from view. So if 12 tests were done, and only two showed any efficacy at all, those two would be submitted to the FDA, and the FDA would essentially say “pay your fee and go to market.”
After analyzing the results of all the tests he was able to procure via FOIA, Kirsch concluded that anti-depressant drugs had only a placebo effect on patients with mild to moderate depression. In other words, a sugar pill would suffice. He went public with this conclusion.
