CLAIM: Did a Military Experimental Vaccine in 1918 Kill 50-100 Million People Blamed as ‘Spanish Flu’?

( Kevin Barry ) The “ Spanish Flu ” killed an estimated 50-100 million people during a pandemic 1918-19 .
What if the story we have been told about this pandemic isn ’ t true ?
What if , instead , the killer infection was neither the flu nor Spanish in origin ?

WHERE DID THE SPANISH FLU BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA OF 1918-19 ORIGINATE ?
When the United States declared war in April 1917 , the fledgling Pharmaceutical industry had something they had never had before – a large supply of human test subjects in the form of the US military ’ s first draft .
Pre-war in 1917 , the US Army was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the US army disbanded , and had 296,000 men .

A REPORT ON ANTIMENINGITIS VACCINATION AND OBSERVATIONS ON AGGLUTININS IN THE BLOOD OF CHRONIC MENINGOCOCCUS CARRIERS From the Base Hospital , Fort Riley , Kansas , and The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research , New York .
Received 1918 Jul 20 Between January 21st and June 4th of 1918 , Dr. Gates reports on an experiment where soldiers were given 3 doses of a bacterial meningitis vaccine .
Those conducting the experiment on the soldiers were just spitballing dosages of a vaccine serum made in horses .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doses .
4,792 men received the first dose , but only 4,257 got the 2nd dose ( down 11 % ) , and only 3702 received all three doses ( down 22.7 % ) .
A total of 1,090 men were not there for the 3rd dose .
What happened to these soldiers ?
Were they shipped East by train from Kansas to board a ship to Europe ?
Were they in the Fort Riley hospital ?
Dr. Gates ’ report doesn ’ t tell us .
An article accompanying the American Experience @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where these 1,090 men might be .
Gates began his experiments in January 1918 .
By March of that year , “ 100 men a day ” were entering the infirmary at Fort Riley .
Are some of these the men missing from Dr. Gates ’ report – the ones who did not get the 2nd or 3rd dose ?
“ … Shortly before breakfast on Monday , March 11 , the first domino would fall signaling the commencement of the first wave of the 1918 influenza .
Company cook Albert Gitchell reported @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a “ bad cold.
” Right behind him came Corporal Lee W. Drake voicing similar complaints .
By noon , camp surgeon Edward R. Schreiner had over 100 sick men on his hands , all apparently suffering from the same malady… ” ( 5 ) Gates does report that several of the men in the experiment had flu-like symptoms : coughs , vomiting and diarrhea after receiving the vaccine .
These symptoms are a disaster for men living in barracks , travelling on trains to the Atlantic coast , sailing to Europe , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The unsanitary conditions at each step of the journey are an ideal environment for a contagious disease like bacterial pneumonia to spread .

” “ Sometimes the reaction was initiated by a chill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of men complained of fever or feverish sensations during the following night .
Next in frequency came nausea ( occasionally vomiting ) , dizziness , and general “ aches and pains ” in the joints and muscles , which in a few instances were especially localized in the neck or lumbar region , causing stiff neck or stiff back .
A few injections were followed by diarrhea .

Afterwards , some of the soldiers had symptoms which “ simulated ” meningitis , but Dr. Gates advances the fantastical claim that it wasn ’ t actual meningitis .

Bacterial meningitis , then and now , is known to mimic flu-like symptoms .
( 6 ) Perhaps the similarity of early symptoms of bacterial meningitis and bacterial pneumonia to symptoms of flu is why the vaccine experiments at Fort Riley have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cause of the Spanish Flu for 100 years and counting .
HOW DID THE “ SPANISH FLU ” SPREAD SO WIDELY SO QUICKLY ?
There is an element of a perfect storm in how the Gates bacteria spread .
WWI ended only 10 months after the first injections .
Unfortunately for the 50-100 million who died , those soldiers injected with horse-infused bacteria moved quickly during those 10 months .
An article from 2008 on the CDC ’ s website describes how sick WWI soldiers could pass along the bacteria to others by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , for brief periods and to varying degrees , affected hosts became “ cloud adults ” who increased the aerosolization of colonizing strains of bacteria , particularly pneumococci , hemolytic streptococci , H. influenzae , and S. aureus .
“ For several days during local epidemics — particularly in crowded settings such as hospital wards , military camps , troop ships , and mines ( and trenches ) — some persons were immunologically susceptible to , infected with , or recovering from infections with influenza virus .
“ Persons with active infections were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and throats , while others—often , in the same “ breathing spaces ” — were profoundly susceptible to invasion of and rapid spread through their lungs by their own or others ’ colonizing bacteria.
” ( 1 ) Three times in his report on the Fort Riley vaccine experiment , Dr. Gates states that some soldiers had a “ severe reaction ” indicating “ an unusual individual susceptibility to the vaccine ” .
While the vaccine made many sick , it only killed those who were susceptible to it .
Those who became @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” who spread the bacteria to others , which created more cloud adults , spreading to others where it killed the susceptible , repeating the cycle until there were no longer wartime unsanitary conditions , and there were no longer millions of soldiers to experiment on .
The toll on US troops was enormous and it is well documented .
Dr. Carol Byerly describes how the “ influenza ” traveled like wildfire through the US military .
( substitute “ bacteria ” for Dr. Byerly ’ s “ influenza ” or “ virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the largest training camps had reported influenza outbreaks in March , April , or May , and some of the infected troops carried the virus with them aboard ships to France … As soldiers in the trenches became sick , the military evacuated them from the front lines and replaced them with healthy men .
This process continuously brought the virus into contact with new hosts — young , healthy soldiers in which it could adapt , reproduce , and become extremely virulent without danger of burning out .
… Before any travel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of replacement troops departed Camp Devens ( outside of Boston ) for Camp Upton , Long Island , the Army ’ s debarkation point for France , and took influenza with them .
Medical officers at Upton said it arrived “ abruptly ” on September 13 , 1918 , with 38 hospital admissions , followed by 86 the next day , and 193 the next .
Hospital admissions peaked on October 4 with 483 , and within 40 days , Camp Upton sent 6,131 men to the hospital for influenza .
Some developed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ simply by observing the patient rather than listening to the lungs… ” ( 7 ) The United States was not the only country in possession of the Rockefeller Institute ’ s experimental bacterial vaccine .
“ Reference should be made that before the United States entered the war ( in April 1917 ) the Institute had resumed the preparation of antimeningococcic serum , in order to meet the requests of England , France , Belgium Italy and other countries.
” “ In order to meet the suddenly increased demand for the curative serums @ @ @ @ @ @ @ special stable for horses was quickly erected … ” ( 8 ) An experimental antimeningoccic serum made in horses and injected into soldiers who would be entering the cramped and unsanitary living conditions of war … what could possibly go wrong ?
Is the bacterial serum made in horses at the Rockefeller Institute which was injected into US soldiers and distributed to numerous other countries responsible for the 50-100 million people killed by bacterial lung infections in 1918-19 ?
The Institute says it distributed the bacterial serum to England , France , Belgium @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Not enough is known about how these countries experimented on their soldiers .
I hope independent researchers will take an honest look at these questions .
THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS I do not believe that anyone involved in these vaccine experiments was trying to harm anyone .

I believe standard medical hubris is responsible – doctors “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tame nature without creating unanticipated problems .
With medical hubris , I do not think the situation has changed materially over the past 100 years .
The vaccine industry is always looking for human test subjects .
They have the most success when they are able to find populations who not in a position to refuse .
Soldiers ( 9 ) , infants , the disabled , prisoners , those in developing nations – anyone not in a position to refuse .
Vaccine experimentation on vulnerable populations is not an issue of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dr. Stanley Plotkin where he describes using experimental vaccines on orphans , the mentally retarded , prisoners , and those under colonial rule .
The deposition was in January 2018 .
The hubris of the medical community is the same or worse now than it was 100 years ago .
“ The question is whether we are to have experiments performed on fully functioning adults and on children who are potentially contributors to society or to perform initial studies in children and adults who are human in form but not in social potential.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ is well aware of medical hubris and well aware of the poor record of medical ethics , the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights developed international standards regarding the right to informed consent to preventative medical procedures like vaccination .

This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media because their salaries are paid by pharmaceutical advertising .
The next time you hear someone say “ vaccines save lives ” please remember that the true story of the cost/benefit of vaccines is much more complicated than their three word slogan .
Also remember that vaccines may have killed 50-100 million people in 1918-19 .
If true , those costs greatly outweighed any benefit , especially considering that plumbers , electricians , sandhogs and engineers did , and continue to do , the real work which reduces mortality from disease .

(Kevin Barry) The “Spanish Flu” killed an estimated 50-100 million people during a pandemic 1918-19. What if the story we have been told about this pandemic isn’t true? What if, instead, the killer infection was neither the flu nor Spanish in origin?

by Kevin Barry, August 10th, 2020
Newly analyzed documents reveal that the “Spanish Flu” may have been a military vaccine experiment gone awry.
In looking back on the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, we need to delve deeper to solve this mystery.
Summary
The reason modern technology has not been able to pinpoint the killer influenza strain from this pandemic is because influenza was not the killer.
More soldiers died during WWI from disease than from bullets.
The pandemic was not flu. An estimated 95% (or higher) of the deaths were caused by bacterial pneumonia, not influenza/a virus.
The pandemic was not Spanish. The first cases of bacterial pneumonia in 1918 trace back to a military base in Fort Riley, Kansas.
From January 21 – June 4, 1918, an experimental bacterial meningitis vaccine cultured in horses by the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York was injected into soldiers at Fort Riley.
During the remainder of 1918 as those soldiers – often living and traveling under poor sanitary conditions – were sent to Europe to fight, they spread bacteria at every stop between Kansas and the frontline trenches in France.
One study describes soldiers “with active infections (who) were aerosolizing the bacteria that colonized their noses and throats, while others—often, in the same “breathing spaces”—were profoundly susceptible to invasion of and rapid spread through their lungs by their own or others’ colonizing bacteria.” (1)
The “Spanish Flu” attacked healthy people in their prime. Bacterial pneumonia attacks people in their prime. Flu attacks the young, old and immunocompromised.
When WW1 ended on November 11, 1918, soldiers returned to their home countries and colonial outposts, spreading the killer bacterial pneumonia worldwide.
During WW1, the Rockefeller Institute also sent the antimeningococcic serum to England, France, Belgium, Italy and other countries, helping spread the epidemic worldwide.
Many people do not realize that disease killed far more soldiers on all sides than machine guns or mustard gas or anything else typically associated with WWI.
I have a personal connection to the Spanish Flu. Among those killed by disease in 1918-19 are members of both of my parents’ families.
On my father’s side, his grandmother Sadie Hoyt died from pneumonia in 1918. Sadie was a Chief Yeoman in the Navy. Her death left my grandmother Rosemary and her sister Anita to be raised by their aunt. Sadie’s sister Marian also joined the Navy. She died from “the influenza” in 1919.
Book Vaccine A: The Covert Government Experiment That’s Killing Our Soldiers–and Why GI’s Are Only the First Victims
On my mother’s side, two of her father’s sisters died in childhood. All of the family members who died lived in New York City.
I suspect many American families, and many families worldwide, were impacted in similar ways by the mysterious Spanish Flu.
In 1918, “influenza” or flu was a catchall term for disease of unknown origin. It didn’t carry the specific meaning it does today.
It meant some mystery disease which dropped out of the sky. In fact, influenza is from the Medieval Latin “influential” in an astrological sense, meaning a visitation under the influence of the stars.
WHY IS WHAT HAPPENED 100 YEARS AGO IMPORTANT NOW?
Between 1900-1920, there were enormous efforts underway in the industrialized world to build a better society.
I will use New York as an example to discuss three major changes to society which occurred in NY during that time and their impact on mortality from infectious diseases.
1. Clean Water and Sanitation
In the late 19th century through the early 20th century, New York built an extraordinary system to bring clean water to the city from the Catskills, a system still in use today.
New York City also built over 6000 miles of sewer to take away and treat waste, which protects the drinking water. The World Health Organization acknowledges the importance of clean water and sanitation in combating infectious diseases. (2)
2. Electricity
In the late 19th century through the early 20th century, New York built a power grid and wired the city so power was available in every home.
Electricity allows for refrigeration. Refrigeration is an unsung hero as a public health benefit. When food is refrigerated from farm to table, the public is protected from potential infectious diseases.
Cheap renewable energy is important for many reasons, including combating infectious diseases.
3. Pharmaceutical
In the late 19th century through the early 20th century, New York became the home of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (now Rockefeller University). The Institute is where the modern pharmaceutical industry was born.
The Institute pioneered many of the approaches the pharmaceutical industry uses today, including the preparation of vaccine serums, for better or worse.
The vaccine used in the Fort Riley experiment on soldiers was made in horses.
US Mortality Rates data from the turn of the 20th century to 1965 clearly indicates that clean water, flushing toilets, effective sewer systems and refrigerated foods all combined to effectively reduce mortality from infectious diseases BEFORE vaccines for those diseases became available.
Have doctors and the pharmaceutical manufacturers taken credit for reducing mortality from infectious disease which rightfully belongs to sandhogs, plumbers, electricians and engineers?
If hubris at the Rockefeller Institute in 1918 led to a pandemic disease which killed millions of people, what lessons can we learn and apply to 2018?
THE DISEASE WAS NOT SPANISH
While watching an episode of American Experience on PBS a few months ago, I was surprised to hear that the first cases of “Spanish Flu” occurred at Fort Riley, Kansas in 1918.
I thought, how is it possible this historically important event could be so badly misnamed 100 years ago and never corrected?
Why “Spanish”?
Spain was one of a few countries not involved in World War I. Most of the countries involved in the war censored their press.
Free from censorship concerns, the earliest press reports of people dying from disease in large numbers came from Spain. The warring countries did not want to additionally frighten the troops, so they were content to scapegoat Spain.
Soldiers on all sides would be asked to cross no man’s land into machine gun fire, which was frightening enough without knowing that the trenches were a disease breeding ground.
One hundred years later, it’s long past time to drop “Spanish” from all discussion of this pandemic. If the flu started at a United States military base in Kansas, then the disease could and should be more aptly named.
In order to prevent future disasters, the US (and the rest of the world) must take a hard look at what really caused the pandemic.
It is possible that one of the reasons the Spanish Flu has never been corrected is that it helps disguise the origin of the pandemic.
If the origin of the pandemic involved a vaccine experiment on US soldiers, then the US may prefer calling it Spanish Flu instead of The Fort Riley Bacteria of 1918, or something similar.
The Spanish Flu started at the location this experimental bacterial vaccine was given making it the prime suspect as the source of the bacterial infections which killed so many.
It would be much more difficult to maintain the marketing mantra of “vaccines save lives” if a vaccine experiment originating in the United States during the years of primitive manufacturing caused the deaths of 50-100 million people.
“Vaccines save lives … except we may have killed 50-100 million people in 1918-19” is a far less effective sales slogan than the overly simplistic “vaccines save lives.”
THE DISEASE WHICH KILLED SO MANY WAS NOT FLU OR A VIRUS. IT WAS BACTERIAL.
During the mid-2000’s there was much talk about “pandemic preparedness.”
Influenza vaccine manufacturers in the United States received billions of taxpayer dollars to develop vaccines to make sure that we don’t have another lethal pandemic “flu,” like the one in 1918-19.
Capitalizing on the “flu” part of Spanish flu helped vaccine manufacturers procure billion dollar checks from governments, even though scientists knew at the time that bacterial pneumonia was the real killer.
It is not my opinion that bacterial pneumonia was the real killer – thousands of autopsies confirm this fact.
According to a 2008 National Institute of Health paper, bacterial pneumonia was the killer in a minimum of 92.7% of the 1918-19 autopsies reviewed. It is likely higher than 92.7%.
The researchers looked at more than 9000 autopsies, and “there were no negative (bacterial) lung culture results.”
“… In the 68 higher-quality autopsy series, in which the possibility of unreported negative cultures could be excluded, 92.7% of autopsy lung cultures were positive for ≥1 bacterium. … in one study of approximately 9000 subjects who were followed from clinical presentation with influenza to resolution or autopsy, researchers obtained, with sterile technique, cultures of either pneumococci or streptococci from 164 of 167 lung tissue samples.
“There were 89 pure cultures of pneumococci; 19 cultures from which only streptococci were recovered; 34 that yielded mixtures of pneumococci and/or streptococci; 22 that yielded a mixture of pneumococci, streptococci, and other organisms (prominently pneumococci and nonhemolytic streptococci); and 3 that yielded nonhemolytic streptococci alone. There were no negative lung culture results.” (3)
Pneumococci or streptococci were found in “164 of (the) 167 lung tissue samples” autopsied. That is 98.2%. Bacteria was the killer.
WHERE DID THE SPANISH FLU BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA OF 1918-19 ORIGINATE?
When the United States declared war in April 1917, the fledgling Pharmaceutical industry had something they had never had before – a large supply of human test subjects in the form of the US military’s first draft.
Pre-war in 1917, the US Army was 286,000 men. Post-war in 1920, the US army disbanded, and had 296,000 men.
During the war years 1918-19, the US Army ballooned to 6,000,000 men, with 2,000,000 men being sent overseas. The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research took advantage of this new pool of human guinea pigs to conduct vaccine experiments.
A REPORT ON ANTIMENINGITIS VACCINATION AND OBSERVATIONS ON AGGLUTININS IN THE BLOOD OF CHRONIC MENINGOCOCCUS CARRIERS
by Frederick L. Gates
From the Base Hospital, Fort Riley, Kansas, and The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, New York.
Received 1918 Jul 20
Between January 21st and June 4th of 1918, Dr. Gates reports on an experiment where soldiers were given 3 doses of a bacterial meningitis vaccine.
Those conducting the experiment on the soldiers were just spitballing dosages of a vaccine serum made in horses.
The vaccination regime was designed to be 3 doses. 4,792 men received the first dose, but only 4,257 got the 2nd dose (down 11%), and only 3702 received all three doses (down 22.7%).
A total of 1,090 men were not there for the 3rd dose. What happened to these soldiers? Were they shipped East by train from Kansas to board a ship to Europe? Were they in the Fort Riley hospital? Dr. Gates’ report doesn’t tell us.
An article accompanying the American Experience broadcast I watched sheds some light on where these 1,090 men might be. Gates began his experiments in January 1918.
By March of that year, “100 men a day” were entering the infirmary at Fort Riley.
Are some of these the men missing from Dr. Gates’ report – the ones who did not get the 2nd or 3rd dose?
“… Shortly before breakfast on Monday, March 11, the first domino would fall signaling the commencement of the first wave of the 1918 influenza.
Company cook Albert Gitchell reported to the camp infirmary with complaints of a “bad cold.”
Right behind him came Corporal Lee W. Drake voicing similar complaints.
By noon, camp surgeon Edward R. Schreiner had over 100 sick men on his hands, all apparently suffering from the same malady…” (5)
Gates does report that several of the men in the experiment had flu-like symptoms: coughs, vomiting and diarrhea after receiving the vaccine.
These symptoms are a disaster for men living in barracks, travelling on trains to the Atlantic coast, sailing to Europe, and living and fighting in trenches.
The unsanitary conditions at each step of the journey are an ideal environment for a contagious disease like bacterial pneumonia to spread.
From Dr. Gates’ report:
“Reactions. – … Several cases of looseness of the bowels or transient diarrhea were noted. This symptom had not been encountered before.
“Careful inquiry in individual cases often elicited the information that men who complained of the effects of vaccination were suffering from mild coryza, bronchitis, etc., at the time of injection.”
“Sometimes the reaction was initiated by a chill or chilly sensation, and a number of men complained of fever or feverish sensations during the following night.
Next in frequency came nausea (occasionally vomiting), dizziness, and general “aches and pains” in the joints and muscles, which in a few instances were especially localized in the neck or lumbar region, causing stiff neck or stiff back. A few injections were followed by diarrhea.
The reactions, therefore, occasionally simulated the onset of epidemic meningitis and several vaccinated men were sent as suspects to the Base Hospital for diagnosis.”(4)
According to Gates, they injected random dosages of an experimental bacterial meningitis vaccine into soldiers.
Afterwards, some of the soldiers had symptoms which “simulated” meningitis, but Dr. Gates advances the fantastical claim that it wasn’t actual meningitis.
The soldiers developed flu-like symptoms. Bacterial meningitis, then and now, is known to mimic flu-like symptoms. (6)
Perhaps the similarity of early symptoms of bacterial meningitis and bacterial pneumonia to symptoms of flu is why the vaccine experiments at Fort Riley have been able to escape scrutiny as a potential cause of the Spanish Flu for 100 years and counting.
HOW DID THE “SPANISH FLU” SPREAD SO WIDELY SO QUICKLY?
There is an element of a perfect storm in how the Gates bacteria spread.
WWI ended only 10 months after the first injections. Unfortunately for the 50-100 million who died, those soldiers injected with horse-infused bacteria moved quickly during those 10 months.
An article from 2008 on the CDC’s website describes how sick WWI soldiers could pass along the bacteria to others by becoming “cloud adults.”
“Finally, for brief periods and to varying degrees, affected hosts became “cloud adults” who increased the aerosolization of colonizing strains of bacteria, particularly pneumococci, hemolytic streptococci, H. influenzae, and S. aureus.
“For several days during local epidemics — particularly in crowded settings such as hospital wards, military camps, troop ships, and mines (and trenches) — some persons were immunologically susceptible to, infected with, or recovering from infections with influenza virus.
“Persons with active infections were aerosolizing the bacteria that colonized their noses and throats, while others—often, in the same “breathing spaces” — were profoundly susceptible to invasion of and rapid spread through their lungs by their own or others’ colonizing bacteria.” (1)
Three times in his report on the Fort Riley vaccine experiment, Dr. Gates states that some soldiers had a “severe reaction” indicating “an unusual individual susceptibility to the vaccine”.
While the vaccine made many sick, it only killed those who were susceptible to it.
Those who became sick and survived became “cloud adults” who spread the bacteria to others, which created more cloud adults, spreading to others where it killed the susceptible, repeating the cycle until there were no longer wartime unsanitary conditions, and there were no longer millions of soldiers to experiment on.
The toll on US troops was enormous and it is well documented. Dr. Carol Byerly describes how the “influenza” traveled like wildfire through the US military. (substitute “bacteria” for Dr. Byerly’s “influenza” or “virus”):
“… Fourteen of the largest training camps had reported influenza outbreaks in March, April, or May, and some of the infected troops carried the virus with them aboard ships to France …
As soldiers in the trenches became sick, the military evacuated them from the front lines and replaced them with healthy men.
This process continuously brought the virus into contact with new hosts — young, healthy soldiers in which it could adapt, reproduce, and become extremely virulent without danger of burning out.
… Before any travel ban could be imposed, a contingent of replacement troops departed Camp Devens (outside of Boston) for Camp Upton, Long Island, the Army’s debarkation point for France, and took influenza with them.
Medical officers at Upton said it arrived “abruptly” on September 13, 1918, with 38 hospital admissions, followed by 86 the next day, and 193 the next.
Hospital admissions peaked on October 4 with 483, and within 40 days, Camp Upton sent 6,131 men to the hospital for influenza. Some developed pneumonia so quickly that physicians diagnosed it simply by observing the patient rather than listening to the lungs…” (7)
The United States was not the only country in possession of the Rockefeller Institute’s experimental bacterial vaccine.
A 1919 report from the Institute states:
“Reference should be made that before the United States entered the war (in April 1917) the Institute had resumed the preparation of antimeningococcic serum, in order to meet the requests of England, France, Belgium Italy and other countries.”
The same report states:
“In order to meet the suddenly increased demand for the curative serums worked out at the Institute, a special stable for horses was quickly erected …” (8)
An experimental antimeningoccic serum made in horses and injected into soldiers who would be entering the cramped and unsanitary living conditions of war … what could possibly go wrong?
Is the bacterial serum made in horses at the Rockefeller Institute which was injected into US soldiers and distributed to numerous other countries responsible for the 50-100 million people killed by bacterial lung infections in 1918-19?
The Institute says it distributed the bacterial serum to England, France, Belgium, Italy and other countries during WWI. Not enough is known about how these countries experimented on their soldiers.
I hope independent researchers will take an honest look at these questions.

THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS
I do not believe that anyone involved in these vaccine experiments was trying to harm anyone.
Some will see the name Rockefeller and yell. “Illuminati!” or “culling the herd!”
I do not believe that’s what happened.
I believe standard medical hubris is responsible – doctors “playing God”, thinking they can tame nature without creating unanticipated problems.
With medical hubris, I do not think the situation has changed materially over the past 100 years.
WHAT NOW?
The vaccine industry is always looking for human test subjects. They have the most success when they are able to find populations who not in a position to refuse.
Soldiers (9), infants, the disabled, prisoners, those in developing nations – anyone not in a position to refuse.
Vaccine experimentation on vulnerable populations is not an issue of the past.
Watch this video clip of Dr. Stanley Plotkin where he describes using experimental vaccines on orphans, the mentally retarded, prisoners, and those under colonial rule.
The deposition was in January 2018. The hubris of the medical community is the same or worse now than it was 100 years ago.
Watch as Dr. Plotkin admits to writing:
“The question is whether we are to have experiments performed on fully functioning adults and on children who are potentially contributors to society or to perform initial studies in children and adults who are human in form but not in social potential.”
Please watch the horrifying video clip. (10)
In part because the global community is well aware of medical hubris and well aware of the poor record of medical ethics, the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights developed international standards regarding the right to informed consent to preventative medical procedures like vaccination.
The international community is well aware that the pharmaceutical industry makes mistakes and is always on the lookout for human test subjects.
The Declaration states that individuals have the human right to consent to any preventative medical intervention like vaccination.
Book Maxims of Divine Law
Article 3 – Human dignity and human rights
1. Human dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms are to be fully respected.
2. The interests and welfare of the individual should have priority over the sole interest of science or society.
Article 6 – Consent
1. Any preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic medical intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free and informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information. T
he consent should, where appropriate, be express and may be withdrawn by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without disadvantage or prejudice. (11)
Clean water, sanitation, flushing toilets, refrigerated foods and healthy diets have done and still do far more to protect humanity from infectious diseases than any vaccine program.
Doctor and the vaccine industry have usurped credit which rightfully belongs to plumbers, electricians, sandhogs, engineers and city planners.
For these reasons, policy makers at all levels of government should protect the human rights and individual liberties of individuals to opt out of vaccine programs via exemptions.
The hubris of the medical community will never go away. Policy makers need to know that vaccines like all medical interventions are not infallible.
Vaccines are not magic. We all have different susceptibility to disease. Human beings are not one size fits all.
In 1918-19, the vaccine industry experimented on soldiers, likely with disastrous results.
In 2018, the vaccine industry experiments on infants every day. The vaccine schedule has never been tested as it is given.
The results of the experiment are in: 1 in 7 American children is in some form of special education and over 50% have some form of chronic illness. (12)
In 1918-19, there was no safety follow up after vaccines were delivered.
In 2018, there is virtually no safety follow up after a vaccine is delivered.
Who exactly gave you that flu shot at Rite Aid? Do you have their cell number of the store employee if something goes wrong?
In 1918-19, there was no liability to the manufacturer for injuries or death caused by vaccines.
In 2018, there is no liability for vaccine manufacturers for injuries or death caused by vaccines, which was formalized in 1986. (13)
In 1918-19, there was no independent investigative follow up challenging the official story that “Spanish Flu” was some mystery illness which dropped from the sky.
I suspect that many of those at the Rockefeller Institute knew what happened, and that many of the doctors who administered the vaccines to the troops knew what happened, but those people are long dead.
In 2018, the Pharmaceutical industry is the largest campaign donor to politicians and the largest advertiser in all forms of media, so not much has changed over 100 years.
This story will likely be ignored by mainstream media because their salaries are paid by pharmaceutical advertising.
The next time you hear someone say “vaccines save lives” please remember that the true story of the cost/benefit of vaccines is much more complicated than their three word slogan.
Also remember that vaccines may have killed 50-100 million people in 1918-19.
If true, those costs greatly outweighed any benefit, especially considering that plumbers, electricians, sandhogs and engineers did, and continue to do, the real work which reduces mortality from disease.
Vaccines are not magic. Human rights and bioethics are critically important.
Policy makers should understand the history of medical hubris and protect individual and parental human rights as described in the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights.

They are not even trying .
Literally phoning it in , ” one person wrote on Twitter .
“ This is the political equivalent of lip syncing , ” wrote another .
In her speech , Obama repeatedly took aim at President Donald Trump .
Even when it came time to lift up Biden , she did so in large part by contrasting him to the man Democrats so love to hate .
She @ @ @ @ @ @ @ praise of the presumptive Democratic nominee : He ’ s “ not perfect.
” “ Now , Joe is not perfect .
And he ’ d be the first to tell you that , ” she said .

They ’ re purging voter rolls .
They ’ re sending people out to intimidate voters , and they ’ re lying about the security of our ballots.

’ Her Husband Built The Cages .
Good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a hard time , and everyone ’ s feeling it in different ways .
And I know a lot of folks are reluctant to tune into a political convention right now or to politics in general .
Believe me , I get that .
But I am here tonight because I love this country with all my heart , and it pains me to see so many people hurting .
I ’ ve met so many of you .
I ’ ve heard your stories .
And through you , I have seen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thanks to so many who came before me , thanks to their toil and sweat and blood , I ’ ve been able to live that promise myself .
That ’ s the story of America .
All those folks who sacrificed and overcame so much in their own times because they wanted something more , something better for their kids .
There ’ s a lot of beauty in that story .
There ’ s a lot of pain in it , too , a lot of struggle and injustice and work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ choose as our president in this election will determine whether or not we honor that struggle and chip away at that injustice and keep alive the very possibility of finishing that work .
I am one of a handful of people living today who have seen firsthand the immense weight and awesome power of the presidency .
And let me once again tell you this : the job is hard .
It requires clear-headed judgment , a mastery of complex and competing issues , a devotion to facts and history , a moral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an abiding belief that each of the 330,000,000 lives in this country has meaning and worth .
A president ’ s words have the power to move markets .
They can start wars or broker peace .
They can summon our better angels or awaken our worst instincts .
You simply can not fake your way through this job .
As I ’ ve said before , being president doesn ’ t change who you are ; it reveals who you are .
Well , a presidential election can reveal who we are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , too many people chose to believe that their votes didn ’ t matter .
Maybe they were fed up .
Maybe they thought the outcome wouldn ’ t be close .
Maybe the barriers felt too steep .
Whatever the reason , in the end , those choices sent someone to the Oval Office who lost the national popular vote by nearly 3,000,000 votes .
In one of the states that determined the outcome , the winning margin averaged out to just two votes per precinct—two votes .
And we ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When my husband left office with Joe Biden at his side , we had a record-breaking stretch of job creation .
We ’ d secured the right to health care for 20,000,000 people .
We were respected around the world , rallying our allies to confront climate change .
And our leaders had worked hand-in-hand with scientists to help prevent an Ebola outbreak from becoming a global pandemic .
Four years later , the state of this nation is very different .
More than 150,000 people have died , and our economy is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this president downplayed for too long .
It has left millions of people jobless .
Too many have lost their health care ; too many are struggling to take care of basic necessities like food and rent ; too many communities have been left in the lurch to grapple with whether and how to open our schools safely .
Internationally , we ’ ve turned our back , not just on agreements forged by my husband , but on alliances championed by presidents like Reagan and Eisenhower .
And here at home , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and a never-ending list of innocent people of color continue to be murdered , stating the simple fact that a Black life matters is still met with derision from the nation ’ s highest office .
Because whenever we look to this White House for some leadership or consolation or any semblance of steadiness , what we get instead is chaos , division , and a total and utter lack of empathy .
Empathy : that ’ s something I ’ ve been thinking a lot about lately .
The ability to walk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the recognition that someone else ’ s experience has value , too .
Most of us practice this without a second thought .
If we see someone suffering or struggling , we don ’ t stand in judgment .
We reach out because , “ There , but for the grace of God , go I.
” It is not a hard concept to grasp .
It ’ s what we teach our children .
And like so many of you , Barack and I have tried our best to instill in our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forward the values that our parents and grandparents poured into us .
But right now , kids in this country are seeing what happens when we stop requiring empathy of one another .
They ’ re looking around wondering if we ’ ve been lying to them this whole time about who we are and what we truly value .
They see people shouting in grocery stores , unwilling to wear a mask to keep us all safe .
They see people calling the police on folks minding their own business just because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They see an entitlement that says only certain people belong here , that greed is good , and winning is everything because as long as you come out on top , it doesn ’ t matter what happens to everyone else .
And they see what happens when that lack of empathy is ginned up into outright disdain .
They see our leaders labeling fellow citizens enemies of the state while emboldening torch-bearing white supremacists .
They watch in horror as children are torn from their families and thrown into cages , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on peaceful protestors for a photo-op .
Sadly , this is the America that is on display for the next generation .
A nation that ’ s underperforming not simply on matters of policy but on matters of character .
And that ’ s not just disappointing ; it ’ s downright infuriating , because I know the goodness and the grace that is out there in households and neighborhoods all across this nation .
And I know that regardless of our race , age , religion , or politics , when we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and truly open our hearts , we know that what ’ s going on in this country is just not right .
This is not who we want to be .
So what do we do now ?
What ’ s our strategy ?
Over the past four years , a lot of people have asked me , “ When others are going so low , does going high still really work ?
” My answer : going high is the only thing that works , because when we go low , when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and dehumanizing others , we just become part of the ugly noise that ’ s drowning out everything else .
We degrade ourselves .
We degrade the very causes for which we fight .
But let ’ s be clear : going high does not mean putting on a smile and saying nice things when confronted by viciousness and cruelty .
Going high means taking the harder path .
It means scraping and clawing our way to that mountain top .
Going high means standing fierce against hatred while remembering that we are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we want to survive , we ’ ve got to find a way to live together and work together across our differences .
And going high means unlocking the shackles of lies and mistrust with the only thing that can truly set us free : the cold hard truth .
So let me be as honest and clear as I possibly can .
Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country .
He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job , but he is clearly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not meet this moment .
He simply can not be who we need him to be for us .
It is what it is .
Now , I understand that my message won ’ t be heard by some people .
We live in a nation that is deeply divided , and I am a Black woman speaking at the Democratic Convention .
But enough of you know me by now .
You know that I tell you exactly what I ’ m feeling .
You know I hate politics .
But you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nation .
You know how much I care about all of our children .
So if you take one thing from my words tonight , it is this : if you think things can not possibly get worse , trust me , they can ; and they will if we don ’ t make a change in this election .
If we have any hope of ending this chaos , we have got to vote for Joe Biden like our lives depend on it .
I know Joe .
He is a profoundly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He was a terrific vice president .
He knows what it takes to rescue an economy , beat back a pandemic , and lead our country .
And he listens .
He will tell the truth and trust science .
He will make smart plans and manage a good team .
And he will govern as someone who ’ s lived a life that the rest of us can recognize .
When he was a kid , Joe ’ s father lost his job .
When he was a young senator , Joe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And when he was vice president , he lost his beloved son .
So Joe knows the anguish of sitting at a table with an empty chair , which is why he gives his time so freely to grieving parents .
Joe knows what it ’ s like to struggle , which is why he gives his personal phone number to kids overcoming a stutter of their own .
His life is a testament to getting back up , and he is going to channel that same grit and passion to pick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heal and guide us forward .
Now , Joe is not perfect .
And he ’ d be the first to tell you that .
But there is no perfect candidate , no perfect president .
And his ability to learn and grow—we find in that the kind of humility and maturity that so many of us yearn for right now .
Because Joe Biden has served this nation his entire life without ever losing sight of who he is ; but more than that , he has never lost sight of who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden wants all of our kids to go to a good school , see a doctor when they ’ re sick , live on a healthy planet .
And he ’ s got plans to make all of that happen .
Joe Biden wants all of our kids , no matter what they look like , to be able to walk out the door without worrying about being harassed or arrested or killed .
He wants all of our kids to be able to go to a movie or a math class @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He wants all our kids to grow up with leaders who won ’ t just serve themselves and their wealthy peers but will provide a safety net for people facing hard times .
And if we want a chance to pursue any of these goals , any of these most basic requirements for a functioning society , we have to vote for Joe Biden in numbers that can not be ignored .
Because right now , folks who know they can not win fair and square at the ballot box are doing everything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They ’ re closing down polling places in minority neighborhoods .
They ’ re purging voter rolls .
They ’ re sending people out to intimidate voters , and they ’ re lying about the security of our ballots .
These tactics are not new .
But this is not the time to withhold our votes in protest or play games with candidates who have no chance of winning .
We have got to vote like we did in 2008 and 2012 .
We ’ ve got to show up with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden .
We ’ ve got to vote early , in person if we can .
We ’ ve got to request our mail-in ballots right now , tonight , and send them back immediately and follow-up to make sure they ’ re received .
And then , make sure our friends and families do the same .
We have got to grab our comfortable shoes , put on our masks , pack a brown bag dinner and maybe breakfast too , because we ’ ve got to be willing to stand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to .
Look , we have already sacrificed so much this year .
So many of you are already going that extra mile .
Even when you ’ re exhausted , you ’ re mustering up unimaginable courage to put on those scrubs and give our loved ones a fighting chance .
Even when you ’ re anxious , you ’ re delivering those packages , stocking those shelves , and doing all that essential work so that all of us can keep moving forward .
Even when it all feels so overwhelming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all together without child care .
Teachers are getting creative so that our kids can still learn and grow .
Our young people are desperately fighting to pursue their dreams .
And when the horrors of systemic racism shook our country and our consciences , millions of Americans of every age , every background rose up to march for each other , crying out for justice and progress .
This is who we still are : compassionate , resilient , decent people whose fortunes are bound up with one another .
And it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to once again reflect our truth .
So , it is up to us to add our voices and our votes to the course of history , echoing heroes like John Lewis who said , “ When you see something that is not right , you must say something .
You must do something.
” That is the truest form of empathy : not just feeling , but doing ; not just for ourselves or our kids , but for everyone , for all our kids .

Here’s Obama’s full speech, transcribed before delivery by CNN:
Good evening, everyone. It’s a hard time, and everyone’s feeling it in different ways. And I know a lot of folks are reluctant to tune into a political convention right now or to politics in general. Believe me, I get that. But I am here tonight because I love this country with all my heart, and it pains me to see so many people hurting. I’ve met so many of you. I’ve heard your stories.

There’s a lot of beauty in that story. There’s a lot of pain in it, too, a lot of struggle and injustice and work left to do. And who we choose as our president in this election will determine whether or not we honor that struggle and chip away at that injustice and keep alive the very possibility of finishing that work. I am one of a handful of people living today who have seen firsthand the immense weight and awesome power of the presidency. And let me once again tell you this: the job is hard. It requires clear-headed judgment, a mastery of complex and competing issues, a devotion to facts and history, a moral compass, and an ability to listen—and an abiding belief that each of the 330,000,000 lives in this country has meaning and worth.

When my husband left office with Joe Biden at his side, we had a record-breaking stretch of job creation. We’d secured the right to health care for 20,000,000 people. We were respected around the world, rallying our allies to confront climate change. And our leaders had worked hand-in-hand with scientists to help prevent an Ebola outbreak from becoming a global pandemic.
Four years later, the state of this nation is very different. More than 150,000 people have died, and our economy is in shambles because of a virus that this president downplayed for too long. It has left millions of people jobless. Too many have lost their health care; too many are struggling to take care of basic necessities like food and rent; too many communities have been left in the lurch to grapple with whether and how to open our schools safely. Internationally, we’ve turned our back, not just on agreements forged by my husband, but on alliances championed by presidents like Reagan and Eisenhower. And here at home, as George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and a never-ending list of innocent people of color continue to be murdered, stating the simple fact that a Black life matters is still met with derision from the nation’s highest office. Because whenever we look to this White House for some leadership or consolation or any semblance of steadiness, what we get instead is chaos, division, and a total and utter lack of empathy. Empathy: that’s something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately. The ability to walk in someone else’s shoes; the recognition that someone else’s experience has value, too. Most of us practice this without a second thought. If we see someone suffering or struggling, we don’t stand in judgment. We reach out because, “There, but for the grace of God, go I.” It is not a hard concept to grasp. It’s what we teach our children. And like so many of you, Barack and I have tried our best to instill in our girls a strong moral foundation to carry forward the values that our parents and grandparents poured into us. But right now, kids in this country are seeing what happens when we stop requiring empathy of one another. They’re looking around wondering if we’ve been lying to them this whole time about who we are and what we truly value. They see people shouting in grocery stores, unwilling to wear a mask to keep us all safe. They see people calling the police on folks minding their own business just because of the color of their skin. They see an entitlement that says only certain people belong here, that greed is good, and winning is everything because as long as you come out on top, it doesn’t matter what happens to everyone else. And they see what happens when that lack of empathy is ginned up into outright disdain. They see our leaders labeling fellow citizens enemies of the state while emboldening torch-bearing white supremacists. They watch in horror as children are torn from their families and thrown into cages, and pepper spray and rubber bullets are used on peaceful protestors for a photo-op. Sadly, this is the America that is on display for the next generation. A nation that’s underperforming not simply on matters of policy but on matters of character. And that’s not just disappointing; it’s downright infuriating, because I know the goodness and the grace that is out there in households and neighborhoods all across this nation.

And I know that regardless of our race, age, religion, or politics, when we close out the noise and the fear and truly open our hearts, we know that what’s going on in this country is just not right. This is not who we want to be. So what do we do now? What’s our strategy? Over the past four years, a lot of people have asked me, “When others are going so low, does going high still really work?” My answer: going high is the only thing that works, because when we go low, when we use those same tactics of degrading and dehumanizing others, we just become part of the ugly noise that’s drowning out everything else. We degrade ourselves. We degrade the very causes for which we fight. But let’s be clear: going high does not mean putting on a smile and saying nice things when confronted by viciousness and cruelty. Going high means taking the harder path. It means scraping and clawing our way to that mountain top. Going high means standing fierce against hatred while remembering that we are one nation under God, and if we want to survive, we’ve got to find a way to live together and work together across our differences. And going high means unlocking the shackles of lies and mistrust with the only thing that can truly set us free: the cold hard truth. So let me be as honest and clear as I possibly can. Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. It is what it is. Now, I understand that my message won’t be heard by some people. We live in a nation that is deeply divided, and I am a Black woman speaking at the Democratic Convention. But enough of you know me by now. You know that I tell you exactly what I’m feeling. You know I hate politics. But you also know that I care about this nation. You know how much I care about all of our children. So if you take one thing from my words tonight, it is this: if you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can; and they will if we don’t make a change in this election. If we have any hope of ending this chaos, we have got to vote for Joe Biden like our lives depend on it. I know Joe. He is a profoundly decent man, guided by faith. He was a terrific vice president. He knows what it takes to rescue an economy, beat back a pandemic, and lead our country. And he listens. He will tell the truth and trust science. He will make smart plans and manage a good team. And he will govern as someone who’s lived a life that the rest of us can recognize. When he was a kid, Joe’s father lost his job. When he was a young senator, Joe lost his wife and his baby daughter. And when he was vice president, he lost his beloved son. So Joe knows the anguish of sitting at a table with an empty chair, which is why he gives his time so freely to grieving parents. Joe knows what it’s like to struggle, which is why he gives his personal phone number to kids overcoming a stutter of their own. His life is a testament to getting back up, and he is going to channel that same grit and passion to pick us all up, to help us heal and guide us forward. Now, Joe is not perfect. And he’d be the first to tell you that. But there is no perfect candidate, no perfect president. And his ability to learn and grow—we find in that the kind of humility and maturity that so many of us yearn for right now. Because Joe Biden has served this nation his entire life without ever losing sight of who he is; but more than that, he has never lost sight of who we are, all of us. Joe Biden wants all of our kids to go to a good school, see a doctor when they’re sick, live on a healthy planet. And he’s got plans to make all of that happen. Joe Biden wants all of our kids, no matter what they look like, to be able to walk out the door without worrying about being harassed or arrested or killed. He wants all of our kids to be able to go to a movie or a math class without being afraid of getting shot. He wants all our kids to grow up with leaders who won’t just serve themselves and their wealthy peers but will provide a safety net for people facing hard times. And if we want a chance to pursue any of these goals, any of these most basic requirements for a functioning society, we have to vote for Joe Biden in numbers that cannot be ignored. Because right now, folks who know they cannot win fair and square at the ballot box are doing everything they can to stop us from voting. They’re closing down polling places in minority neighborhoods. They’re purging voter rolls. They’re sending people out to intimidate voters, and they’re lying about the security of our ballots. These tactics are not new.

But this is not the time to withhold our votes in protest or play games with candidates who have no chance of winning. We have got to vote like we did in 2008 and 2012. We’ve got to show up with the same level of passion and hope for Joe Biden. We’ve got to vote early, in person if we can. We’ve got to request our mail-in ballots right now, tonight, and send them back immediately and follow-up to make sure they’re received. And then, make sure our friends and families do the same. We have got to grab our comfortable shoes, put on our masks, pack a brown bag dinner and maybe breakfast too, because we’ve got to be willing to stand in line all night if we have to. Look, we have already sacrificed so much this year. So many of you are already going that extra mile. Even when you’re exhausted, you’re mustering up unimaginable courage to put on those scrubs and give our loved ones a fighting chance. Even when you’re anxious, you’re delivering those packages, stocking those shelves, and doing all that essential work so that all of us can keep moving forward. Even when it all feels so overwhelming, working parents are somehow piecing it all together without child care. Teachers are getting creative so that our kids can still learn and grow. Our young people are desperately fighting to pursue their dreams. And when the horrors of systemic racism shook our country and our consciences, millions of Americans of every age, every background rose up to march for each other, crying out for justice and progress. This is who we still are: compassionate, resilient, decent people whose fortunes are bound up with one another. And it is well past time for our leaders to once again reflect our truth. So, it is up to us to add our voices and our votes to the course of history, echoing heroes like John Lewis who said, “When you see something that is not right, you must say something. You must do something.” That is the truest form of empathy: not just feeling, but doing; not just for ourselves or our kids, but for everyone, for all our kids.

Mayor Bowser neglected to mention that the church, St. John’s Episcopal Church, had been burned and damaged the night before by the “peaceful protesters.”
The protests at Lafayette Square, outside the White House, were not “peaceful.”
A Breitbart News reporter was assaulted there, as were other journalists. Radical left-wing activists threw bricks, bottles, and rocks at law enforcement, injuring scores of officers.
Attorney General William Barr told CBS News exactly what happened:
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, OK, there were violent riots in- at Lafayette Park where the park police were under constant attack at the- behind their bike rack fences. On Sunday, things reached a crescendo. The officers were pummeled with bricks. Crowbars were used to pry up the pavers at the park and they were hurled at police. There were fires set in not only St. John’s Church, but a historic building at Lafayette was burned down.

All I heard- all I heard was comments about how peaceful protesters were. I didn’t hear about the fact that there were 150 law enforcement officers injured and many taken to the hospital with concussions. So it wasn’t a peaceful protest.
When the park was cleared, it was not for a “photo-op,” but for the safety of law enforcement and the White House itself. And tear gas was not used. Instead, the U.S. Park Police used pepper balls.
Even Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi later admitted: “Maybe they didn’t have tear gas.”

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?
Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong.
