WikiHow Teaches Children how to ‘Get Vaccinated in Secret’ By Scheming Against ‘Anti-Vaxxer’ Parents Who May ‘Abuse’ Their Own Children

The WikiHow website , a hub for how-to information , has joined the other evil tech giants by going all-in with vaccine propaganda that poses a very real danger to the health and safety of children .
The site now features a dangerous article that teaches children how to scheme against their own parents and stage fake cover stories to get vaccinated with toxic vaccines that even the U.S. government admits cause thousands of injuries , hospitalizations and even some deaths every year in America .
( VAERS.HHS.gov and HRSA.gov ) The WikiHow article , entitled , “ How to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ begins by warning children that their parents might “ fall into rabbit holes of conspiracy theories ” about vaccines , falsely implying that all evidence of vaccine dangers or vaccine injuries is a “ conspiracy.
” The article appears at this link : Rob Dew joins The Alex Jones Show to play a leaked video of Soumya Swaminathan , the Chief Scientist of the WHO , admitting in a secret meeting that vaccines kill people and they do not know why .
The article goes on to teach children how to “ get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anti-vaccine parents might “ abuse you if they learned that you disobeyed them.
” ( These are actual quotes from the WikiHow article . )
Here ’ s a screen shot from the article itself : The article also implores children to recruit doctors “ or another responsible adult ” to coerce parents into allowing unlimited vaccinations , implying that only those adults who promote vaccines are “ responsible.
” This is yet more clear evidence that the article was written by the same group of Big Pharma propagandists who have taken over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including vaccines that contain mercury — are never tested for safety in pediatric patients ( children and teens ) , yet it is exactly those children who are being targeted by WikiHow in one of the most dangerous and brazen assaults on parental rights and child safety that has ever been hosted by any tech platform .
See the stunning photos , below , showing the actual insert sheet of a popular flu vaccine for more proof .
This article is so dangerous to public health that WikiHow deserves to be sued by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
U.S. government confirms billions have been paid out to families of vaccine injured children – an irrefutable fact denied by WikiHow In truth , vaccine insert sheets openly admit that vaccines are dangerous and , in most cases , never even subjected to clinical trials for safety or effectiveness .
These damning facts about vaccine safety are never mentioned by WikiHow .
The so-called “ Secret Vaccine Court ” ( the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program ) has already paid out over $ 4 billion to families of vaccine-injured children , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That program publishes a “ vaccine injury table ” that lists some of the many injuries known to be caused by vaccines .
The program also reveals that , as of 2019 , over $ 4 billion has been paid out to families of vaccine-injured children : Since 1988 , over 21,491 petitions have been filed with the VICP .
Over that 30-year time period , 18,473 petitions have been adjudicated , with 7,044 of those determined to be compensable , while 11,429 were dismissed .
Total compensation paid over the life of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
A detailed PDF report published by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program lists the influenza vaccine as responsible for 3,647 of the injury petitions , and the MMR vaccine responsible for 252 petition .
The Tdap vaccine accounts for another 470 petitions .
The report reveals that more petitions were filed in 2019 than in almost any other year in the program ’ s existence , demonstrating that vaccines are trending toward causing more injury , not less .
WikiHow glosses over the fact that most vaccines have never been clinically tested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tries to brainwash children into thinking that vaccines are universally safe and effective when , in reality , vaccine manufacturers openly admit their vaccines are backed by no real science at all .
For example , the Flulaval vaccine insert sheet , detailed in this Natural News article , reveals that no controlled trials have been conducted that show the flu shot results in any decrease whatsoever in influenza infections : The highlighted text reads , “ …there have been no controlled trials adequately demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sheet openly admits that the safety of the flu shot — which contains mercury — has never been established in children .
Notably , this is the exact same demographic being targeted by WikiHow in their article that attempts to convince children to lie to their parents and get secretly vaccinated with toxic vaccines that may quite literally kill them : “ Safety and effectiveness of FLULAVAL in pediatric patients have not been established.
” “ FLULAVAL has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential , or for impairment of fertility.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is added as a preservative .
Each … dose contains 50 mcg thimerosal .
Each dose may also contain residual amounts of ovalbumin , formaldehyde , and sodium deoxycholate from the manufacturing process.
” WikiHow implores children : “ You are allowed to lie to your parents ” by using a “ cover story ” In step 3 of the WikiHow scheme for children to deceive their parents and get vaccinated without parental consent , the site urges children to lie to their parents : You are allowed to lie to your parents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can get the information you need to protect your health .
Later , you can say that you researched it and realized you don ’ t have a vaccine injury .
Of course , the WikiHow article fails to tell the reader that getting vaccinated may cause them to end up with paralysis , a coma or death , all of which would prohibit them from being able to explain later that “ you don ’ t have a vaccine injury.
” ( Children killed by vaccines are unable to talk about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . )
The WikiHow article also proposes various lies that children and teens can use on their parents , saying , “ If your parents are distrustful , prepare your cover story especially well.
” Young readers are urged to literally stage a fake photo shoot of their “ cover story ” activity so they can prove to their dangerous , distrustful parents that they actually participated in that activity rather than being vaccinated .
From the WikiHow article : If your parents are distrustful , prepare your cover story especially well .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a different day , and even taking a selfie doing that thing with your friend .
This way , you ’ ll have “ evidence ” of doing it , and can answer questions if they quiz you .
Vaccine industry using Big Tech platforms to try to weaponize children against their own parents and function as subjects of the “ vaccine state ” The blatant propaganda article by WikiHow blatantly seeks to turn children against their own parents while surrendering to the “ vaccine state ” which systematically lies to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccines .
The WikiHow article names no authors and says it was written by anonymous contributors , most of whom no doubt work for the vaccine industry itself .
The article goes on to state that children should “ Get vaccinated in secret ” or “ petition the court for emancipation if your parents are really bad.
” It also urges children to leverage their doctors against their “ anti-vaxxer parents , ” explaining : If you think that your parents might have told you something false , you can relate what they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if it ’ s a myth .
Finally , WikiHow tells young readers they should reward themselves with ice cream or a candy bar after lying to their parents , staging a fake cover story and conspiring with ( pharma-bribed ) doctors to get vaccinated with dangerous , life-threatening vaccines .
“ Buy a treat , like ice cream from your favorite place , ” says WikiHow .
WikiHow encourages young readers to expose family members to “ viral shedding ” that can spread infections and compromise the health of the elderly After @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continue lying to their parents , even though many vaccines cause “ viral shedding ” that can expose family members to the same live viruses used in the vaccine themselves .
“ Remember that you don ’ t have to tell your parents about getting vaccinated , ” says WikiHow .
“ You can keep your health choices to yourself , especially if they would be mean to you or make you feel unsafe as a result of your choices , ” once again implying that anti-vaxxer parents are somehow violent child abusers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s the vaccine industry that commits routine violence against children .
The “ Community Q & A ” section below the WikiHow article claims that all people who rationally discuss vaccine injuries , harmful vaccine ingredients and vaccine risks are “ snake-oil peddlers ” who “ distrust authority ” and are engaged in “ conspiracy theories.
” The tech giants are now run by Big Pharma and the vaccine deep state as America collapses into a “ pharma state ” WikiHow ’ s descent into vaccine propaganda is little surprise , given that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Pinterest , YouTube and all the other prominent tech platforms have also surrendered to Big Pharma and the criminal vaccine industry .
All rational voices that raise awareness of vaccine injuries , vaccine ingredients or vaccine safety are instantly de-platformed across all prominent tech platforms .
All those who dare to question vaccines are immediately deemed irrational , dishonest or dangerous to society .
The tech giants now universally enforce the big three lies of the vaccine industry : Lie # 1 ) All vaccines are safe and never harm anyone .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and never fail .
Lie # 3 ) All vaccines are clinically tested for safety and rooted in solid scientific testing .
None of those lies are true , of course , which is why the tech giants must resort to censorship and slander to try to silence the voices of reason that are armed with real facts about the very real dangers of vaccines .
Watch my mini-documentary below to learn how America has collapsed into a “ pharma state ” that ’ s run by the pharmaceutical / vaccine cartels : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teach children how to cut off their own genitals in secret DIY transgenderism experiments ?
It ’ s not hard to see where all this is going .
Soon , WikiHow will likely join the DIY transgenderism movement and probably host another how-to article entitled something like , “ How to secretly cut off your penis and become a transgender without your parents knowing about it.
” Beware of any tech platform that surreptitiously pits children against their own parents while promoting the propaganda of the vaccine cartels and government “ authorities.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this extremely dangerous , irresponsible article that puts the lives of children at risk while weaponizing children against their own parents WikiHow claims their how-to articles can be edited by the public .
Have no illusions that , just like with Wikipedia , this claim is a complete scam and all article editing is tightly controlled by a monopoly of malicious individuals who are obviously working for the pharma cartels and the malicious vaccine industry .
However , if you wish to attempt to edit this WikiHow article , you can do so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ post feedback to the article authors by clicking the “ Send fan mail to authors ” link below the article itself .
Finally , there is a Yes / No voting box at the very bottom of the article page , below the Q & A section .
A question there reads , “ Did this article help you ?
” You can vote YES or NO .
The bottom line ?
WikiHow is now the enemy of children , just like Google is the enemy of human knowledge and Twitter is an @ @ @ @

French President Emmanuel Macron has scrapped plans to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64, as tens of thousands of anti-government activists – many donning yellow vests – returned to the streets of Paris and elsewhere on Saturday to protest the proposed pension reforms, according to the New York Times.
The mood was militant, and the more violent demonstrators once again clashed with the police, even as they sowed a trail of damage through eastern Paris. A bank branch was sacked, and bus shelters smashed and fires set. Unions said 150,000 protesters were in the streets of Paris on Saturday. -NYT

newswars--2020-01-13--Facebook Glitch Reveals Greta Thunburg’s Father Posting As Teenage Climate Activist

A Thursday evening software update at Facebook accidentally allowed anyone to view exactly who is posting under the accounts of public figures , businesses and other entities , according to Wired .
The result ?
For starters , some 3 million followers of teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg have been reading posts written by her father , Svante Thunberg , and a climate activist in India who serves as a delegate at the UN ’ s Climate Change organization , Adarsh Prathap .
Thunberg , Inc. claims Greta is still the one writing the content .
Greta , Inc. explained @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be the young climate activist .
“ Some people have been asking who manages this page .
First of all , since last spring I only use Facebook to repost what I write on my Twitter and Instagram accounts , ” reads the post , in which ‘ she ’ says she tried Facebook “ early on , ” but didn ’ t like it , so she uses “ my father Svantes account to repost content.
” “ The rest that is shared on Facebook is reposted from Twitter and Instagram @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thunberg Facebook page long before I knew it existed .
His name is Adarsh Prathap and he lives in India .
Since a lot of people thought it was my official page in the beginning I asked if I could co-manage it and he said yes.
” Greta claims to have written all the content posted by her father and Prathap .
In other words , “ of course it ’ s not me silly – you should have known I just ‘ co-manage ’ the fan page.
” Except – by all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ page alone .
Facebook ’ s ‘ page transparency ’ shows Greta as the confirmed owner – with the only clue suggesting she might have help being a page manager located in India .
According to Facebook , the flaw was quickly fixed – but not before the people behind famous accounts were revealed and shared on public forums such as 4chan .
“ We quickly fixed an issue where someone could see who edited or published a post on behalf of a Page when looking at its edit history , ” said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We are grateful to the security researcher who alerted us to this issue.
” Facebook says the bug was the result of a code update that it pushed Thursday evening .
It ’ s not something most people would have encountered on their own , since it took navigating to a Page , viewing an edit history , and realizing that there shouldn ’ t be a name and profile picture assigned to edits to exploit it .
Still , despite the Friday morning fix , screenshots circulated on 4chan , Imgur , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accounts behind the official Facebook Pages of the pseudonymous artist Banksy , Russian president Vladimir Putin , former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton , Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau , the hacking collective Anonymous , climate activist Greta Thunberg , and rapper Snoop Dogg , among others .
Facebook points out that no information beyond a name and public profile link were available , but that information isn ’ t supposed to appear in the edit history at all .
And for people , say , running anti-regime Pages under a repressive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public is plenty alarming .
–Wired “ People who run sensitive Pages from their own Facebook should now consider that their identity may be known , ” said Lukasz Olejnik independent privacy adviser and Oxford University Center for Technology and Global Affairs .
“ While mistakes happen , this one is unexpected .

“The rest that is shared on Facebook is reposted from Twitter and Instagram by the guy who founded the Greta Thunberg Facebook page long before I knew it existed. His name is Adarsh Prathap and he lives in India. Since a lot of people thought it was my official page in the beginning I asked if I could co-manage it and he said yes.”
Greta claims to have written all the content posted by her father and Prathap.
In other words, “of course it’s not me silly – you should have known I just ‘co-manage’ the fan page.”
Except – by all outward appearances it appeared to be her page alone.
Facebook’s ‘page transparency’ shows Greta as the confirmed owner – with the only clue suggesting she might have help being a page manager located in India.
According to Facebook, the flaw was quickly fixed – but not before the people behind famous accounts were revealed and shared on public forums such as 4chan.
“We quickly fixed an issue where someone could see who edited or published a post on behalf of a Page when looking at its edit history,” said the company in a statement. “We are grateful to the security researcher who alerted us to this issue.”
Facebook says the bug was the result of a code update that it pushed Thursday evening. It’s not something most people would have encountered on their own, since it took navigating to a Page, viewing an edit history, and realizing that there shouldn’t be a name and profile picture assigned to edits to exploit it. Still, despite the Friday morning fix, screenshots circulated on 4chan, Imgur, and social media appearing to show the accounts behind the official Facebook Pages of the pseudonymous artist Banksy, Russian president Vladimir Putin, former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, the hacking collective Anonymous, climate activist Greta Thunberg, and rapper Snoop Dogg, among others. Facebook points out that no information beyond a name and public profile link were available, but that information isn’t supposed to appear in the edit history at all. And for people, say, running anti-regime Pages under a repressive government, making even that much information public is plenty alarming. –Wired
“People who run sensitive Pages from their own Facebook should now consider that their identity may be known,” said Lukasz Olejnik independent privacy adviser and Oxford University Center for Technology and Global Affairs. “While mistakes happen, this one is unexpected.”

The president was initially upbeat, expecting the operation to be greeted with applause much like the raid in October that killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State. Indeed, Mr. Trump opened his first statement to reporters on the mission that Friday by describing General Suleimani as the “No. 1 terrorist anywhere in the world,” much as he had opened his statement a couple of months ago calling Mr. al-Baghdadi the “world’s No. 1 terrorist leader.” But as the president watched television over the weekend, he grew angry that critics were accusing him of reckless escalation.

While Mr. Trump tipped off another hawk, Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, who was visiting in Florida, his administration gave no advance warning to its European allies or Persian Gulf partners in advance of the strike. The only foreign leader who appeared in the know was Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, who had spoken with Mr. Pompeo before the attack and later offered a cryptic public hint hours before it took place. “We know that our region is stormy; very, very dramatic things are happening in it,” Mr. Netanyahu told reporters, unprompted, on the tarmac in Tel Aviv before departing for a visit to Athens.

Read this story from 2014 about Israel blackmailing Bill Clinton and tell me sound plausible similar is happening today.
From The Times of Israel, 23 July 2014, “Netanyahu said to have offered Lewinsky tapes for Pollard,” subheadline, “New critical book on the Clinton family claims that Israel tapped White House phones, blackmailed president with recordings of intern”:
Israel attempted to use tapes of former US president Bill Clinton’s steamy conversations with intern Monica Lewinsky to leverage the release of Jonathan Pollard, a new book on the Clinton family’s political enterprises has claimed. In the book, titled “Clinton Inc: The Audacious Rebuilding of a Political Machine,” author Daniel Halper relies on on-the-record interviews with former officials together with a close analysis of documents termed “the Monica Files” to paint a salacious – and uncomplimentary – picture of one of the most prominent political families in the United States. Halper reviewed hundreds of pages of documents compiled as a contingency to use in case the former intern ever was involved in legal action against Clinton. According to the author, the documents indicate that during the Wye Plantation talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, held in Maryland in 1998, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pulled Bill Clinton aside to press for Pollard’s release. Halper said that Israel had found new leverage to push for Pollard’s release. “The Israelis present at Wye River had a new tactic for their negotiations–they’d overheard Clinton and Monica and had it on tape. Not wanting to directly threaten the powerful American president, a crucial Israeli ally, Clinton was told that the Israeli government had thrown the tapes away. But the very mention of them was enough to constitute a form of blackmail,” Halper wrote, adding that “according to information provided by a CIA source, a stricken Clinton appeared to buckle.” Halper noted that “intelligence officials in the United States or Israel will of course not confirm on the record the extent or substance of Israeli eavesdropping,” but also cited an article published in 2000 by the magazine Insight, that claimed that Israel had “penetrated four White House telephone lines and was able to relay real-time conversations on those lines from a remote site outside the White House directly to Israel for listening and recording.” Israel has denied such claims in the past as “outrageous.” Pollard, a former US naval analyst, was found guilty of passing sensitive documents to Israel, and sentenced to a life sentence in prison for the offense. He remains a cause celebre in Israel, and there have been repeated efforts throughout the past twenty years to secure his release.
Halper cites seemingly corroborating information, including a contemporary New York Times article from November 1998 which reported that the two leaders had discussed Pollard’s release during the ill-fated conference and that “the Israelis had told the president something that opened up the possibility of Pollard’s release, something Clinton had explicitly ruled out during the first six years of his presidency.” The Times article noted that a White House spokesman told a reporter that Clinton was simply “newly impressed by the force of Mr. Netanyahu’s arguments.” […] Netanyahu’s threat, according to Halper, spurred Clinton to consider action. Halper claims that Clinton brought the request before CIA director George Tenet. Tenet, however, threatened to resign his position if Pollard was released, and Clinton backpedalled on the idea. Halper is not the first to claim that Israel illicitly taped the steamy conversations between Clinton and Lewinsky and tried to leverage it to its advantage. In 1999, UK author Gordon Thomas claimed that the Mossad had collected some 30 hours’ worth of phone sex conversations between Lewinsky and Clinton and was using them to blackmail the US or to protect a deeply-embedded mole in the White House.
Are we ever going to get a congressional investigation into this foreign meddling?
