veteranstoday--2020-05-24--Monsters among us, Assange-Mossad connection now proven beyond a doubt, an Intel Drop

We expect Julian Assange , if he even exists , to disappear .
He is an embarrassment to his masters though we think the Mossad can get more mileage out of him .
Right now , they are running scared , trying to cover up the inexorable fact now available to all ( all that pay attention ) that Russiagate is now Israelgate to more than just VT and intelligence insiders .
It begins in the highly financed fake alternative media , as usual .
By our analysis , Max Blumenthal of The Gray Zone has been burned to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good and his site is 70 percent “ angelic.
” It ’ s that 30 percent , which includes the “ defend Iran ” work from Gareth Porter , someone VT also is extremely suspicious of .
Cloudflare now admits that they had absolutely NO proof whatsoever that the Russians ever hacked the DNC , which means the information used to support Russiagate was 100 % fabricated .
This means only one thing , that it was Israel , the tiny nation that controls Donald Trump , that rigged the election and blamed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ VT told the FBI in 2017 and the Mueller investigation in 2018 and told the DNC when Thomas Mattingly ( with prominent Washington attorney Bart Fisher ) went to them with the same story .
Mattingly was murdered for this .
VT had slam dunk evidence which we shared with the FBI .
That investigation was quashed by Attorney General Barr and was the prime reason Comey was pushed out at the demand of Israel .
Then today , we get the story that Sheldon Adelson , working with the CIA , had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Julian Assange .
This story , in Blumenthal ’ s publication , seemed both paper thin and contrived .

that it was Russia , and did so in close cooperation with Roger Stone , long suspected of his ties to Israeli intelligence dating back to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proof that it was Israel that hacked the DNC servers ( from inside the DNC ) and , in the process , seeded in 2 dozen fake emails as well , something typical of any Mossad-Wikileaks operation as pointed out in 2010 by Zbigniew Brzezinski when he went on the record on NPR with Judy Woodruff .

Anyone who complained , and Hillary did it once , would be smeared in the press as a “ conspiracy theorist.

They said they knew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the press featured was , in fact , fake , but that if Hillary said so , she would be butchered as Wikileaks “ believers ” are Democratic Party base .
I went over this call with the FBI and then offered them material that tied key Trump allies ( appointees ) to fake websites in Macedonia run by Turkish intelligence ( which took over that country to threaten Greece ) and how funds from that effort were then paid to a top Trump security advisor .
I then explained how this was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Arabia , paralleling their 9/11 operation , with Turkey added as a partner .
This was all accepted as factual but later quashed .
The basis of this partnership and their penetration of the Defense Intelligence Agency was outlined by Colonel James Hanky in his presentation at the Damascus Security Conference in December 2015 to Middle East leaders .

We expect Julian Assange, if he even exists, to disappear. He is an embarrassment to his masters, though we think the Mossad can get more mileage out of him. Right now, they are running scared, trying to cover up the inexorable fact now available to all (all that pay attention) that Russiagate is now Israelgate to more than just VT and intelligence inside RS.
It begins in the highly financed fake alternative media, as usual.
By our analysis, Max Blumenthal of The Gray Zone has been burned to the ground. His work is often very good and his site is 70 percent “angelic.” It’s that 30 percent, which includes the “defend Iran” work from Gareth Porter, someone VT also is extremely suspicious of.
Beyond extremely.
Here’s the story in a nutshell:
Cloudflare now admits that they had absolutely NO proof whatsoever that the Russians ever hacked the DNC, which means the information used to support Russiagate was 100% fabricated.
This means only one thing, that it was Israel, the tiny nation that controls Donald Trump, that rigged the election and blamed it on Russia, which is what VT told the FBI in 2017 and the Mueller investigation in 2018 and told the DNC when Thomas Mattingly (with prominent Washington attorney Bart Fisher) went to them with the same story.
Mattingly was murdered for this.
VT had slam dunk evidence which we shared with the FBI. That investigation was quashed by Attorney General Barr and was the prime reason Comey was pushed out at the demand of Israel.
Then today, we get the story that Sheldon Adelson, working with the CIA, had sent his personal bodyguards to spy on Julian Assange. This story, in Blumenthal’s publication, seemed both paper-thin and contrived.
Assuming this, that Adelson is the primary backer in Israel of Netanyahu, whose trial began today and the primary financial backer of Donald Trump…
And that it was Julian Assange who received the DNC emails (some were falsified) and leaked (Wikileaked?) that it was Russia, and did so in close cooperation with Roger Stone, long suspected of his ties to Israeli intelligence dating back to the Nixon regime…
We now have slamdunk proof that it was Israel that hacked the DNC servers (from inside the DNC) and, in the process, seeded in 2 dozen fake emails as well, something typical of any Mossad-Wikileaks operation as pointed out in 2010 by Zbigniew Brzezinski when he went on the record on NPR with Judy Woodruff.
[ Editor’s Note: And VT quickly published Ziggy’s expose but for some strange reason mass media never followed up with us to challenge our report or ask for supporting information. Imagine that…JD ]
It was there that Zbig said Wikileaks was an intelligence agency channel for seeding fake smear material into shared/stolen intelligence that the US gives to Israel and laundering it back as fake whistleblower material.
We saw the same thing with Wikileaks and Stratfor, which we believe to be a de facto division of InfoWars. Stratfor emails were “hacked” by Wikileaks, emails that served Israel’s interests and that if Stratfor themselves had published them, nobody would care.
But when Wikileaks did it, the fake material from Stratfor suddenly got a seal of approval, laundered through Wikileaks, the same as was done with DNC emails which turned out the childishly stupid Pizzagate “scandal.”
VT cited Wikileaks as Mossad from the beginning when our version of the Iraqi cables that “made” Wikileaks were quite different, under close scrutiny, then Wikileaks. They “seeded” fake material into them, just as they do with everything.
Long ago Assange admitted that before the material was released, he gave it to Israeli intelligence to “make sure nothing that would hurt Israel was in it.”
This process wasn’t filtering, the material always came from them in the first place.
What is key to understand is that only 30 percent or less of Wikileaks material is invented by the Mossad. Anyone who complained, and Hillary did it once, would be smeared in the press as a “conspiracy theorist.”
In a conference call in 2015, we (Gordon Duff, Thomas Mattingly, Jim Dean, Bart Fisher, and the DNC legal staff) reviewed how this worked. They said they knew and that much of the material that the press featured was, in fact, fake, but that if Hillary said so, she would be butchered as Wikileaks “believers” are Democratic Party base.
I went over this call with the FBI and then offered them material that tied key Trump allies (appointees) to fake websites in Macedonia run by Turkish intelligence (which took over that country to threaten Greece) and how funds from that effort were then paid to a top Trump security advisor.
I then explained how this was a joint effort of Israel and Saudi Arabia, paralleling their 9/11 operation, with Turkey added as a partner.
This was all accepted as factual but later quashed.
The basis of this partnership and their penetration of the Defense Intelligence Agency was outlined by Colonel James Hanke in his presentation at the Damascus Security Conference in December 2015 to Middle East leaders.
Assange, Wikileaks and how Israel enslaved the British
By Ian Greenhalgh (2017)
How Donald Trump’s best friend in Britain—another big fan of Vladimir Putin—put his party at the service at Wikileaks’ Julian Assange.
Editor’s note: Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice deceiving…While few would dispute that a tangled web surrounds his public image, many fail to discern that Assange is practicing deception; in fact, it is his raison d’etre, he and his Wikileaks organization are a front for what the CIA correctly identified as a “hostile intelligence service”; VT will go further and identify them as Israel’s Mossad.
Furthermore, the unstinting support given to Assange and Wikileaks by Nigel Farage and his UKIP party is a clear indicator that they too, are serving Israeli masters and have been ever since they appeared on the British political scene in the 1990s.
Let us step back in time to the mid-90s, a time when Britain was coming to the end of a 15-year rule by the Conservative Party, most of it under Margaret Thatcher. The Labour Party was undergoing a resurgence due to the leadership of John Smith and the disarray within the Conservative Party caused by the thorny issue of the EU and the Maastricht Treaty.
Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock had failed to win the 1992 election, largely due to poor handling of the media and a failure to sell Kinnock to the British people – he was too Welsh and too ginger and Labour never managed to market him effectively, the popular support within the electorate was there but the marketing savvy was lacking.
The Conservatives under Thatcher in the 1980s had transformed British politics by hiring the prestigious Saatchi and Saatchi PR firm and making politics more about the image presented to the public than actual policies. Kinnock’s failure in 92 began a new phase in the history of the Labour Party as party insiders realized that, to beat the Conservatives they had to play the same game where PR spin was king and policies a distant second in importance.
John Smith replaced Kinnock and was hugely popular both with his own party and the British electorate, he was seen as a near certainty to win the 1997 election – sadly he died of a heart attack in 1994 and was replaced by the man who today is best remembered as the war criminal that followed George W Bush into wars in Afghanistan and Iraq like a faithful lapdog, one Tony Blair.
Tony Blair was an Israeli asset from the moment he first entered politics under the sponsorship of Zionist Jew Levy Mendelsohn, a man Blair would make Lord Levy shortly after becoming Prime Minister. In partnership with Peter Mandleson, a close friend of the Rothschilds, Blair destroyed the Labour Party, turning it into ‘New Labour’ and moving it from a ‘left-wing’, a socialist party to a center-right, populist puppet that emulated the PR spin tactics of the 1980s Conservatives while slavishly following the directions of their Israeli masters.
All the other New Labour leaders were stooges too, Jack Straw, Gordon Brown, all of them, only John Prescott remained from the old, socialist Labour and he likely only got to remain because he knew where the bodies were buried, so to speak.
Under Blair and New Labour, Britain entered a new and shameful period where we functioned as the 51st state of the USA and our armed forces became an adjunct of those of the US, dutifully working alongside the Yanks to fight the War On Terror in Afghanistan and Iraq and share in the heroin, oil and stolen resources profits.
During the Blair years, the Conservative party fell into utter disarray under a series of unpopular and ineffective leaders such as William Hague and Iain Duncan Smith (yes, no-one remembers them in Britain either), torn apart by a deep divide over the issue of Britain’s membership of the EU.
Out of this divide came Nigel Farage and UKIP Farage, a former City banker, formed UKIP in order to attract away from the Conservative Party those who were referred to as ‘Euro Sceptics’ and wanted Britain to either leave the EU entirely or at least change drastically the nature of Britain’s membership of the EU. With the benefit of hindsight, it is now clear that Farage and UKIP was an Israeli operation to weaken and destabilize the Conservative party, thus allowing Tony Blair and New Labour to enjoy almost 15 years in power.
Thus, Britain became an Israeli puppet. While UKIP never became a major force in British parliamentary politics, they served a vital role in the Israeli takeover.
By 2010 and the election of David Cameron, Israeli control had been completely solidified; Cameron had been an Israeli asset since at least the early 90s and he continued to follow Tel-Aviv’s orders every bit as obediently as Blair had before him.
Fast forward to 2016 and the infamous referendum on membership of the EU, now universally referred to as ‘BREXIT’.
Cameron dutifully did as he was ordered and lost, Farage won, a clear case of Israeli controlling both sides and ensuring they get the result they desired – Britain out of Europe, thus destabilizing both the EU and Britain itself.
Having served their roles and achieved their assigned tasks, Farage and Cameron both retired from politics post-BREXIT, Cameron to enjoy his vast personal wealth, Farage to float around the fringes of politics, occasionally sticking his head up to support his fellow Israeli stooges – best evidenced by his visit to the US during the last election in order to make a few speeches praising his good pal Donald Trump.
So now you have the background to where we are today in Britain, a nation where the ruling Conservative Party is every bit as much under Israeli-control as New Labour had been under Blair, meaning we have been under the Zionist thumb for the last 20 years.
A glimmer of hope does exist in the form of Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, a true socialist of the old Labour party who has been attacked and slandered at almost every turn as an anti-semite and labeled as ‘unelectable’ by the British media, despite enjoying massive popular support amongst the British people.
Of course, Corbyn is no anti-semite, he is simply labeled that because he is not an Israeli asset, the first leader of either the Labour or Conservative parties for over two decades who is not a puppet of Tel-Aviv. Corbyn has attempted to purge the Labour Party of it’s Blairites, those who have taken the dirty shekel preferred by the Zionist criminals.
That task remains incomplete, hence we have witnessed many attacks on Corbyn from within his own party.
Sadly, if he loses the upcoming general election, Corbyn will probably not get the chance to complete the purge of the Blairites as a challenge to his leadership of the party will almost certainly arise.
In recent weeks, Tony Blair himself has mooted a potential return to politics, this is a clear indicator that the Zionists are concerned that Corbyn has had at least a measure of success in his campaign to rebuild the Labour Party into it’s original, socialist form and remove the Israeli hegemony it has been enslaved under; hence they are threatening to reintroduce their faithful servant Blair and use him to undermine Corbyn while dividing the Labour party in much the same way they used their boy Farage to deeply wound the Conservatives in the 1990s.
When Assange stepped onto the balcony of the Ecuadorean Embassy this week and gave his ‘can’t forgive or forget’ speech and stating that ‘the war is far from over’ he was reading directly from the agenda set for him by Tel-Aviv. The Swedish rape charges that have just been dropped were a complete fabrication, part of a psyop designed to lend credibility to Assange, to paint him as a real deal fugitive from justice who was the sworn enemy of ‘the powers that be’.
Of course, this is a total inversion of the truth, Assange and Wikileaks along with the British government, the British media and the British Establishment are all on Tel-Aviv’s payroll, all faithful servants, willing conspirators and faithful partners in crime to that evil Zionist regime. Farage too, although now relegated to the sidelines, remains ready, waiting and more than willing to continue to serve those same masters. Ian


veteranstoday--2020-05-24--My Dad Got Hoaxed By the Anti-5G Conspiracy Movement

Does your dad spend his time in quarantine watching livestreams of men in fields ranting about the dangers of frequencies ?
Does every dinner table conversation roll back around to how Wi-Fi is killing our brains ?
Does he joke ( well… kind of ) about strategically hoofing down your closest lamppost in the middle of the night ?
Then chances are he ’ s part of the growing number of dad-truthers fuelling the anti-5G conspiracy theory .
In 2019 , my dad was invited to a 27,000-strong Facebook group that sets out to “ expose ” the effects that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ group features an extensive amount of middle-aged dads debating whether to put tinfoil on the walls before the wallpaper itself .
Soon , what was a Labour-supporting working-class dad of three had turned into a tech-obsessed truther .
He began to share , comment , and openly debate ( see : argue ) with other dads , who all seemed to agree on just one thing : 5G was threatening to kill off their family , causing mental health issues , cancer , infertility , Alzheimer ’ s , even autism .
Oh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ causes that too .
The movement against 5G began to gain momentum in late-2018 after major mobile networks started to roll out 5G trials around the world .
Since then , it ’ s turned into a phenomenon , seemingly mostly among British , middle-aged dads who spend half their evening scrolling on Facebook , looking for action to spice up their ever-so-ordinary lives .
Amid the arguments , the group share tips on how to protect themselves and the best field meters to detect harmful frequencies .
To find out exactly why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I requested to join one of the more prominent Facebook groups , Stop5GUK .
But in doing so , I truly went down the rabbit hole .
The anti-5G movement is a world of people willing your dad ’ s money to be diverted into the fight against 5G .
One man in particular looks to be leading the charge .
Mark Steele is a prominent member on the Facebook group , and his videos – where he ’ s normally seen sporting dark sunglasses and a thick Newcastle accent – are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ members daily .
In the videos , the self-described non-indoctrinated scientist and weapons expert , says stuff like “ 5G is a killer ” and claims 400 people have died from what he calls the 5G genocide .
The members seen promoting him and sharing his videos are normally the group ’ s admins ; they decide who stays and who goes , and have been seen to kick people out of the group if they criticise Steele .
But why is Steele so important ?
The answer , like many things in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scrolling through the Facebook group , I was led to a fundraising page on GoFundMe ( name : 5G IS GENOCIDE SUPPORT THE LAWFUL RESISTANCE ) which was set up in late 2018 and had gathered almost £8,000 .
The campaign had no specific motive other than to “ support the resistance ” against 5G .
This also isn ’ t the only instance of Steele asking for campaign money from the average dad who is a bit worried about 5G .
I subsequently found another campaign with Steele ’ s name on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ team “ to bring the countries first test case against Gateshead Council ” .
The description for the campaign didn ’ t really say… anything .
Yet it had raised almost £20,000 and had 529 supporters behind it .
I spoke to a member of the group , who told me he had not heard anything more from the campaign after donating on CrowdJustice .
Another member , Jasper , told me he ’ d previously seen Steele talk on 5G at an event in London last year , where musician-turned-activist Sacha Stone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anti-5G tools pop up everywhere on the Internet and can be anything from £200 paint , to £70 umbrellas , to £900 router-looking devices – many which lack the science behind them .
Stone was trying to flog his product for around £500 , which is where Jasper ’ s suspicions with figures within the anti-5G movement began .
After speaking to Jasper , I wondered what else I could find out about Mark Steele , so I did the classic investigative technique : I typed his name into Google .
Here , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stood out .
It directed me to a newspaper story taken from the Newcastle Evening Chronicle , written in November 1993 , which claimed Mark Steele , aged 33 , from Percy Gardens , Gateshead , was convicted of shooting a teenage girl , leaving her on life support .
No one on the Facebook group had posted about this , and if they had , it ’ d been quickly deleted .
I questioned whether the newspaper article was simply someone else , but upon discovering further information on Steele , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to his company , Reevu , confirmed Steele was born in 1960 , and a Chronicle Live story taken from his 2018 trial confirmed he still lived at Percy Gardens .
I was not the first person to see the newspaper article .
Annie Logical , another known anti-5G campaigner , had previously tried to discredit Steele by claiming he had connections to Gateshead Council .
Afterwards , she was branded a “ deluded nutcase ” and a “ witch ” by members of SUN – a donation-led website called Save Us Now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a political movement against 5G , and is linked heavily to the Facebook group Stop5UK , with many of the admins sporting SUN avatars .
Based on the available crowdfunding links , Steele has raised almost at least £30,000 .
I wondered if my dad had been one of the donors .
Other members of the group , like Jasper , had donated and later found out Steele was not who they thought he was , but were not able to speak out due to the group ’ s admins , so continued @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slogans behind the 5G movement is to “ question everything ” – but it seems many members of the group had been shut off from doing so with Steele .
Much like flat earthers , or that strange period in the late 90s where conspiracy theorists put tinfoil on their heads , not everything in the 5G truther community is as it seems .
That ’ s evident in the fact a radiation watchdog recently confirmed 5G is not currently known to pose a health risk – despite what groups like this say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ start ?
Conspiracy theory expert and author Andy Thomas told me : “ When obvious gaps are left in public knowledge , it is inevitable that people have to fill them with their own speculation .
Some people go further than others , of course – some would argue sometimes too far.
” With Facebook dads continuing to tune into Stop 5G groups in their masses , it is a cause for concern that many of them are willing to hand over thousands of pounds .
If that ’ s you , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , perhaps think twice about it .
Unlike 5G , you can never be sure about the risks .

veteranstoday--2020-05-24--COVID-19: Firsthand Account from Qingdao, China

In this communication from Richard Page , he shares his firsthand experience being in Qingdao during the outbreak of COVID-19 .
Using years of training and experience , Richard provides his own personal action plan on how to respond to local epidemic .
There is no crisis so big that it can not be overcome through persistent and applied effort .
In December this year I began to see disturbing reports that a new disease was in Wuhan and on January 6 , 2020 I saw a notice that a novel coronavirus was identified as the problem .
On January @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grave concern , and by January 20 , the day before my 47th birthday , I put in place a set of measures that my family could take to remain safe .
As the shock of what was happening began to make itself apparent and the fear was palpable in our community , I mentally reviewed the training I received when I worked in Emergency Management .
Bat viruses are deadly serious diseases .
I had witnessed their devastating effect before in South East Asia and I was not going to allow anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , our neighbors , or others in our community to the same experience .
What I am writing today is not part of my professional writing in political science , or fisheries sciences .
It is a reflection of what my wife and I did to prepare for a disaster .
That said , what I am writing could be the most important thing I have ever written to someone if anything in it helps you protect your family .
The government of Qingdao has done an exceptional job protecting the population and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ team should be commended , but the responsibility for keeping my family safe was my own decision and I did not treat it nonchalantly ; rather I treated it with the seriousness of a full blown and deadly pandemic as soon as I saw that it was a atypical novel coronavirus .
My colleagues and friends in the US , Canada and Europe were perhaps too critical of my alarm , but my response was more in line with what I was seeing .
In a viral pandemic , it is important to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the virus and to take immediate steps to protect yourself , your family and loved ones .
This is the lesson of the entire history of epidemics : never put a large group of people into a panic ; rather prepare them well .
An epidemic is a fight and you need to respond to it as such .
As quickly as I could , it was my goal to have a plan in place for each eventuality in this scenario and take practical steps that would allow this to occur and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plan was based on my training in emergency response and following the guidance of field manuals to protect lives .
When China announced a quarantine around Wuhan on January 23 , 2020 , I knew it was a deadly problem that demanded a serious response .
China would not effectively lockdown one of its largest cities , an economic hub for its people , if this was not a disease of grave concern .
This list represents a partial explanation of what I did and the information I collected along the way as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were used persistently for every trip outside the house .
In elevated risk zones , a respirator was used instead .

In this communication from Richard Page, he shares his firsthand experience being in Qingdao during the outbreak of COVID-19. Using years of training and experience, Richard provides his own personal action plan on how to respond to local epidemic.
Main Article
There is no crisis so big that it cannot be overcome through persistent and applied effort.
In December this year I began to see disturbing reports that a new disease was in Wuhan and on January 6, 2020 I saw a notice that a novel coronavirus was identified as the problem. On January 11 I realized that there was a grave concern, and by January 20, the day before my 47th birthday, I put in place a set of measures that my family could take to remain safe.
As the shock of what was happening began to make itself apparent and the fear was palpable in our community, I mentally reviewed the training I received when I worked in Emergency Management. Bat viruses are deadly serious diseases. I had witnessed their devastating effect before in South East Asia and I was not going to allow anyone to expose my wife, our dogs, our neighbors, or others in our community to the same experience.
What I am writing today is not part of my professional writing in political science, or fisheries sciences. It is a reflection of what my wife and I did to prepare for a disaster. That said, what I am writing could be the most important thing I have ever written to someone if anything in it helps you protect your family.
The Qingdao Epidemic and Response
The government of Qingdao has done an exceptional job protecting the population and keeping people safe. Its emergency management team should be commended, but the responsibility for keeping my family safe was my own decision and I did not treat it nonchalantly; rather I treated it with the seriousness of a full blown and deadly pandemic as soon as I saw that it was a atypical novel coronavirus.
never put a large group of people into a panic; rather prepare them well
My colleagues and friends in the US, Canada and Europe were perhaps too critical of my alarm, but my response was more in line with what I was seeing. In a viral pandemic, it is important to be aware of people’s reactions to the virus and to take immediate steps to protect yourself, your family and loved ones. This is the lesson of the entire history of epidemics: never put a large group of people into a panic; rather prepare them well. An epidemic is a fight and you need to respond to it as such. As quickly as I could, it was my goal to have a plan in place for each eventuality in this scenario and take practical steps that would allow this to occur and endure it together.
My personal protection plan was based on my training in emergency response and following the guidance of field manuals to protect lives. When China announced a quarantine around Wuhan on January 23, 2020, I knew it was a deadly problem that demanded a serious response. China would not effectively lockdown one of its largest cities, an economic hub for its people, if this was not a disease of grave concern.
This list represents a partial explanation of what I did and the information I collected along the way as the event unfolded.
Personal Protective Equipment
N95-n100 masks were used persistently for every trip outside the house. In elevated risk zones, a respirator was used instead. Sanitizers were used on hands, and anywhere skin to surface contact could take place. I followed handwashing at 30 seconds (not 20 seconds) after seeing that health workers in Wuhan were falling ill and following the 20 second rule. We sanitized all areas where skin to surface contact could take place outdoors such as the handle of a grocery cart, steering wheel, seats and dogs’ leash. I considered any district with greater than 5 cases a potential outbreak zone. I used sanitizer wipes and a small mixture of bleach and water in a spray bottle for other surfaces. I watched on the news as healthcare professionals were falling ill, dying and was alarmed when it appeared that mucous membranes were a possible route of exposure. I made the use of sunglasses, or goggles when going anywhere we could be exposed, an important part of the routine. From the beginning I used easily-washable protective clothing. In my case, Gore-Tex, and rubber boots could be washed more easily than my shoes for long trips to the store. We used a 70% alcohol solution in spray bottles to decontaminate shoes and clothes. Latex gloves were worn to every major outing and area where contamination could take place.
Protective Practices
Grocery store trips were strictly limited to the 1 week/1 trip/1 person Only one person was allowed to go out and purchase supplies, and this was reduced to a maximum of once per week to reduce unnecessary exposure. We practiced social distancing at 2 meters (6.5 feet). Starting in February, we began the process of transferring work online. The government mandate protected livelihoods, ensuring that the minimum wage would continue to be paid to all workers. This was a very wise policy. I packed an emergency kit and first aid with flashlights, candles water purification tabs, iodine, batteries, and a cart to haul our drinking water deliveries over campus as it was shutting down all access. Together, my wife and I instituted regular floor disinfection with a suitable cleaner, and we began to follow the cleaning routines that Dr. Hermann Biggs used in the great typhus epidemic of New York City. During February, we made it a policy to limit outdoor exposure in the epidemic zone, or districts with the largest officially recognized caseload. In Qingdao this was made easy thanks to government actions. We began rationing trips to the store and made the 1 week, 1 week/1 trip/1 person rule a part of the weekly routine while helping our neighbors. Cleaning shoes is particularly important, so on every trip outside we would take time to put shoes outside or decontaminate them when they entered the apartment. Engagement in disinfection activities based on the principles above proved effective in boosting morale and helping us endure the stress of isolation. While we all had meltdowns from time to time, we did our very best to cope by staying focused on the mission of serving our family and community by extending a hand to help any neighbors who needed it. I made it a rule that anyone who asked for support would get it, and early in the outbreak we helped several people in our WeChat (social media) circle navigate the crisis. We also kept in touch and would ask others if they were safe to help reassure them that they were not alone, even if we felt like it at times.
As China was implementing its emergency procedures, we were implementing ours to complement their effort, protect ourselves and our neighbors. Hopefully with planning and interventions in place, it will be over soon. Time has never been on our side, so it is essential to seriously prepare, be thankful for whatever time we do have, and take comfort in the fact that, through it all, we have each other.


veteranstoday--2020-05-24--Sergeant Damage – Corrupt Cop Turned Anti-Vaxx Warrior

Christopher William Savage is a former serving sergeant in the Queensland Police Service .
We have been following his exploits since 2012 and he has recently come to prominence once again as the darling of the No Jab No Pay anti-vaccine protest movement , for a speech he gave at the Brisbane protest .
It is long past time to publish a collection of the innermost , outside-voice thoughts of former Sergeant Savage .
It is my opinion that he poses a risk to public health and safety .
Savage believes that some immunisation advocates are “ possessed by demons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this earth very long ” because they have been immunised .
From the anti-vaccine group , Vaccine Free Australia : I want to bookend this collection of Savage ’ s broader sociopolitical treatises with two screenshots .
This first image is from August 2012 .
Savage declares that he wants his guns back , granting us some retrospective succour in the knowledge that , in 2012 at least , Savage was not in possession of firearms : I want my guns back I said you government arseholes The second image comes from a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the Vaccine Resistance Movement group ’ s open page .
The reader can now see why there is some more urgency to the Savage dilemma : SHOULD VACCINATORS BE SHOT if they try to inject babies like this one ?
I say yes… As you can see , Savage went back and edited his post after his initial violent , inciteful comments hit Twitter within minutes .
It is Savage ’ s anti-vaccination claims – and the broader respect he receives from all strata of the anti-vaccine movement – which has brought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cast-iron , black , flying pig wrote a damning piece on Savage in 2012 .
Back then Savage was sharing his new Statutory Declaration – bringing him worldwide anti-vaccine fame via the likes of the UK ’ s Christina England – in which he claimed innocent people were being framed by the Queensland Police Service ; whilst making named , outrageous accusations against former colleagues , alleging misconduct , in the treatment of parents charged with assaulting their babies amongst other childhood injuries .
Of course , by that time , Savage had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which is the assertion that shaken baby syndrome is caused by vaccines ; just like SIDS and every other ailment and health condition .
One spectacular result of the aforementioned 2012 Lucky Losing blog post was that it elicited a response from one of Savage ’ s former colleagues who was intent on asserting facts .
Here is the damning response from Witness , in full : I wish to clear this matter up in regards to Sgt Savage .
I am a Witness to the events that happened at the Ipswich Watchhouse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in September 2009 from Townsville .
Upon arriving he made his prescence felt and got offside with all officers who worked in the Watchhouse including senior members of the QPS .
He ranted about vaccines from the day he arrived , he pushed his anti Doctor anti traditional medicine down everyones throat .
He sold alternative therapies in the form of medications to other QPS Staff Members .
His views were always very extreme and he seemed to be extremely fixated on anything to do with medicine , to a point of madness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yet he diagnoses and sells alternative therapies and medicines .
He sold some to me !
!
!
This was brought to the attention of senior QPS members and as a result SGT Savage was removed from his duties as a Charge SGT ( shift supervisor ) in the watchhouse as he could not be trusted .
Senior Constables would run the shift whilst SGT Savage would perform the duties of a Constable and had to be under constant supervison .
He was under serious investigation for his behaviour .
The placing of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fact ordered by SGT Savage for a staff member to do .
He told the only other member working with him that night ( a civilian watchhouse officer ) to place the material in the prisoners property .
SGT Savage then went and had a long and intense conversation with that prisoner and advised him of a defence of shaken baby syndrome and also that he had put information in his property to read when he got to the jail on remand .
I was appalled and could not believe SGT Savage ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ senior staff were notified and Savage was finally removed from the watchhouse and sent to the communications room at Yamanto where he could be babysat and could be kept an eye on by senior staff from the district .
Savage was a person that was not to be trusted around prisoners or members of the public and also had his service weapon removed from him in Townsville as a result of his unfit behaviour .
When the world was closing in on him , he then went of sick leave and was paid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the QPS , whilst the QPS decided what to do with him as he was dangerous .
Eventually he left the QPS under a medical cloud as medical retirement .
He was never confirmed in his position as Sergeant as he was not worthy of this rank .
I observed Savage selling and diagnosing medical conditions for people with all types of illness ’ s including cancer , female problems , pregnancy problems etc even though he has no qualifications to support this .
He is a quack !
!
!
!
!
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ I looked up his website and it appears that he is still in the business of selling stuff to unsuspecting sick people .
His website is “ superoxy ” .
He has it listed in the states with a link to the australian website ?
?
?
?
?
Scam ?
?
?
?
?
?
I am appalled at the way that he is accusing the QPS of being frauds , cover ups , evidence fabricators , liars , framers etc .
The QPS do a very good job working long hard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the QPS to be on the recieving end of a psychologically dillusional madman is appalling and the QPS should go after him for defammation and should silence him from speaking utter evil and spreading lies and information that can not be proven or supported .
Mr Savage do everyone a favour and shut up and ping off .
Your are crazy and no one wants to listen to your ranting irrational and pathetic self !
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
You are a complete and utter disgrace to the QPS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ women that put their lives on the line every day for the likes of people like you .
We can ’ t thank Witness enough for coming forward .
This is important stuff : as we will see now , Savage relies heavily on his claims as a former QPS sergeant as his major argument from authority .
The claims regarding Savage ’ s provision of unqualified health advice and unqualified healthcare , made by Witness , will also be substantiated as we progress .
All screenshots are captured from Savage ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ His Facebook profile is now set to private .
Savage boasts of accosting strangers using his former employment as an authority to push his anti-vaccine lies : Savage contacts his local member of parliament , Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss , using his former QPS service to garner authority for his anti-vaccine delusions : Savage has published , on a public Facebook thread , on his profile , the contents of his message to Warren Truss : Savage uses his former rank and service number to claim that the major side effect from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : This post claiming that a uniformed Savage is still serving as a police officer was shared many times .
Savage commented on this post .
I have not seen anywhere where Savage has corrected this claim that he is still a serving police officer : Savage claims that a Family and Community Services case which at the time was current in the Lismore Base Hospital maternity unit – and there are real concerns regarding the mental health of the father – is a case of the hospital stealing babies : Here Savage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the QPS : Savage has recently been heralded by the new leaders of the anti-vaccine movement – the organisers of the national anti-vaccine protests – as a man of truth and integrity , for his delusional speech given in Brisbane .
People actually stood by whilst Savage claimed vaccines are the real cause of shaken baby syndrome ; people applauded him ; they clapped when he made conspiratorial claims that vaccines are a “ soft kill ” mechanism utilised for the purposes of global depopulation .
They clapped .
They glowed .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reported , a few left in disgust .
This glowing endorsement comes from the now-defunct Brisbane anti-vaccine protest page ( notice registered nurse , Alisha Wood , praising Savage .
The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia can be contacted here – Queensland notifications must be made through the Office of the Health Ombudsman ) : This one from 2012 more or less explains itself : Okay , look , this one ’ s just funny : Savage also shares from his friend , the callous Meryl Dorey , of the thoroughly discredited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actually quite special : Savage thinks Polio immunisation providers get what ’ s coming to them when they get murdered : Savage is willing to testify against these individuals so as to have them “ removed from this earth ” .
Clearly this is more incitement of violence against those he thinks deserve it , just like the Polio vaccine providers , above : This post from only two days ago shows the strength of Savage ’ s delusions .
This poor child did not die ; the child was covered in bruising @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Savage got correct in this post was the word “ and ” .
Even that was a stretch : There is nothing Savage won ’ t rub the wrong way .
Like many anti-vaccinationists Chris Savage has a broad range of nonsensical , insensitive , offensive beliefs that engender victim-blaming and the accusation of ill-gain by victims of tragedy and victims ’ families .
One of the more offensive of the conspiracy theories is the false flag : the accusation that a particular event was staged by the government , with the complicity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as to cover-up some broader evil agenda .
In 2012 Savage asserted that the massacre inside a Sikh temple by white racists was really the work of the CIA : Savage , like many of his colleagues , claimed that the Boston Bombing was an obvious false flag : The New World Order conspiracy is to be expected , of course , via Infowars and Alex Jones : Offensively Savage claims that the recent infant death from raw milk was not caused by the raw milk .
His evidence ?
Well , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Who cares about dead infants when there ’ s an ideology to uphold , right ?
Just another day of false flags : And , where would any upstanding conspiracy theorist be without AIDS lies ?
Savage and his ties to white supremacy If the anti-vaccinationism , the conspiracy theories , the dangerous health products and advice , and the ugly anti-Semitism wasn ’ t bad enough ; then the following should get a few hairs standing up on the backs of your necks .
Especially considering Savage ’ s declarations in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ least someone calls him out on this astonishing comment : Again from the Daily Stormer : Savage declares that there is “ no more important video than this ” , arguing that genocide is being planned by Jews against Christians .
Deranged : The race card .
One of the last refuges of a white scoudrel : Before we finish I should add that Chris Savage was a candidate for Pauline Hanson ’ s One Nation Party in the 1998 Queensland State Election .
Perfect , yes ?
This is the man with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We can see the type of person the anti-vaccination movement deems acceptable to include in its ranks ; to hoist aloft as a beacon of integrity and valour ; to lead the charge of the gibbering masses , blaming everything on the Jews and Jew-doctors .
It is your anti-vaccine movement , Meryl Dorey .
It is yours , Sherri Tenpenny .
It is yours , Barbara Loe Fisher .
It is yours , Stephanie Messenger and Susan Lindberg and Kathy Scarborough and Tasha David and Bronwyn Hancock and Viera Scheibner , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the protests ; it is yours Corinne Stanaway ( Cos Stanway ) and Damien Poulsen and Belgin Colak .
It is yours Courtney Hebberman and Luke O ’ Hehir ( Luke E Lawless ) .
He is yours !
He is yours , Judy Wilyman and Brian Martin of the University of Wollongong .
He is yours .
Christopher William Savage is yours , anti-vaccination movement .
Hold him .
Cherish him .
For he is yours .
A clearly mentally tormented Savage declares that the government-sanctioned agenda of global depopulation by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ underway .
Even more troubling , he declares that this is a “ war ” : On May 6 2015 a little boy named Levi Wibberley passed away .
Levi had the genetic degenerative disorder , Krabbe Disease .
This following is the Facebook page info from Levi ’ s page : Levi is an 18 month old little boy living with Krabbe Disease .
Levi was born healthy and thriving and hitting all milestones at the correct age.. until 6.5 months old.. he stopped feeding and started to go floppy .
Levi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and surgeries to find out what was wrong.. at 8 months old and many hospital admissions Levi was diagnosed with Krabbe Leukodystrophy Disease .
A terminal illness that many who live with it do not see their second birthday .
What is Krabbe ?
Krabbe disease is a degenerative disorder that affects the nervous system .
It is caused by the shortage ( deficiency ) of an enzyme called galactosylceramidase .
This enzyme deficiency impairs the growth and maintenance of myelin , the protective covering around certain nerve cells that ensures the rapid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Krabbe disease usually begin before the age of 1 year ( the infantile form ) .
Initial signs and symptoms typically include irritability , muscle weakness , feeding difficulties , episodes of fever without any sign of infection , stiff posture , and slowed mental and physical development .
As the disease progresses , muscles continue to weaken , affecting the infant ’ s ability to move , chew , swallow , and breathe .
Affected infants also experience vision loss and seizures .
Today , Levi ’ s parent ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being spread about their little boy ’ s passing : “ Heartbroken and sick ” .
On top of the pain of having lost their little boy these parents are made to feel even more “ heartbroken and sick ” by the actions of delusional , callous , cruel anti-vaccinationists ; all done in the name of ideology .
Savage , of course , is one of them .
Levi ’ s mum and dad should never need to write this : Levi ’ s disease was not caused by vaccination..
It is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and myself Levi ’ s mum and dad were forced into defending their little boy ’ s dignity , and the facts surrounding their own pain , due to the actions of the contemptible , cruel Chris Savage and his foul , deranged ilk .
From the VRM Facebook group : But , in true dishonest Savage fashion , the above version of the post is not the original ; Savage went in and edited the text after being exposed for the dishonest , cruel crackpot he is .
Here is the original @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this grieving family .
This is the real Savage ; he does not have any interest in facts ; nor does he have any concern for Levi ’ s family .
Savage is only interested in spreading conspiracy theories which point to vaccines being the cause of all human misery .
Savage only conveys concern for others after being shown for the ghoul he is : This is classic misinformation from the media owned by Stokes who purchased the Rothschild Family Bible for 15 million…and this story is classic vaccine injury misnamed a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s mum for having had the influenza immunisation .
From the now-deleted VRM post : I read the symptoms and know that the mother likely had a flu vaccine and baby ’ s in Australia are given the Hep B at birth routinely so there is your answer And what did the offensive , dangerous Chris Savage achieve ?
This : Heartbroken and sick is what I feel seeing my baby used in a uneducated argument.. Of course , Savage has form .
Lot long ago he posted this execrable anti-vaccine stream @ @ @ @ @ @ @ little Riley Hughes , who died because he caught whooping cough : Who does that ?
I ’ ll let Savage finish off with his own hateful words :

Christopher William Savage is a former serving sergeant in the Queensland Police Service. We have been following his exploits since 2012 and he has recently come to prominence once again as the darling of the No Jab No Pay anti-vaccine protest movement, for a speech he gave at the Brisbane protest. It is long past time to publish a collection of the innermost, outside-voice thoughts of former Sergeant Savage. It is my opinion that he poses a risk to public health and safety.
Savage believes that some immunisation advocates are “possessed by demons” who will not survive “on this earth very long” because they have been immunised. From the anti-vaccine group, Vaccine Free Australia:
I want to bookend this collection of Savage’s broader sociopolitical treatises with two screenshots. This first image is from August 2012. Savage declares that he wants his guns back, granting us some retrospective succour in the knowledge that, in 2012 at least, Savage was not in possession of firearms:
I want my guns back I said you government arseholes
The second image comes from a post made by Savage, yesterday, on the Vaccine Resistance Movement group’s open page. The reader can now see why there is some more urgency to the Savage dilemma:
SHOULD VACCINATORS BE SHOT if they try to inject babies like this one? I say yes…
As you can see, Savage went back and edited his post after his initial violent, inciteful comments hit Twitter within minutes.
It is Savage’s anti-vaccination claims – and the broader respect he receives from all strata of the anti-vaccine movement – which has brought him the most attention. Our favourite cast-iron, black, flying pig wrote a damning piece on Savage in 2012. Back then Savage was sharing his new Statutory Declaration – bringing him worldwide anti-vaccine fame via the likes of the UK’s Christina England – in which he claimed innocent people were being framed by the Queensland Police Service; whilst making named, outrageous accusations against former colleagues, alleging misconduct, in the treatment of parents charged with assaulting their babies amongst other childhood injuries.
Of course, by that time, Savage had already drunk heavily from the vile poison which is the assertion that shaken baby syndrome is caused by vaccines; just like SIDS and every other ailment and health condition. One spectacular result of the aforementioned 2012 Lucky Losing blog post was that it elicited a response from one of Savage’s former colleagues who was intent on asserting facts. Here is the damning response from Witness, in full:

Savage the police sergeant
Savage boasts of accosting strangers using his former employment as an authority to push his anti-vaccine lies:
Savage contacts his local member of parliament, Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss, using his former QPS service to garner authority for his anti-vaccine delusions:
Update July 19 2015
Savage has published, on a public Facebook thread, on his profile, the contents of his message to Warren Truss:
Savage uses his former rank and service number to claim that the major side effect from vaccination is “life force reduction”:
This post claiming that a uniformed Savage is still serving as a police officer was shared many times. Savage commented on this post. I have not seen anywhere where Savage has corrected this claim that he is still a serving police officer:
Savage claims that a Family and Community Services case which at the time was current in the Lismore Base Hospital maternity unit – and there are real concerns regarding the mental health of the father – is a case of the hospital stealing babies:
Here Savage omits many of the reasons he left the QPS:
Savage on vaccines
Savage has recently been heralded by the new leaders of the anti-vaccine movement – the organisers of the national anti-vaccine protests – as a man of truth and integrity, for his delusional speech given in Brisbane. People actually stood by whilst Savage claimed vaccines are the real cause of shaken baby syndrome; people applauded him; they clapped when he made conspiratorial claims that vaccines are a “soft kill” mechanism utilised for the purposes of global depopulation. They clapped. They glowed. They cooed. Thankfully, as Brisbane friends reported, a few left in disgust.
This glowing endorsement comes from the now-defunct Brisbane anti-vaccine protest page (notice registered nurse, Alisha Wood, praising Savage. The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia can be contacted here – Queensland notifications must be made through the Office of the Health Ombudsman):
This one from 2012 more or less explains itself:
Okay, look, this one’s just funny:
Savage also shares from his friend, the callous Meryl Dorey, of the thoroughly discredited Australian Vaccination-skeptics Network. This one is actually quite special:
Savage thinks Polio immunisation providers get what’s coming to them when they get murdered:
Savage is willing to testify against these individuals so as to have them “removed from this earth”. Clearly this is more incitement of violence against those he thinks deserve it, just like the Polio vaccine providers, above:
This post from only two days ago shows the strength of Savage’s delusions. This poor child did not die; the child was covered in bruising from being assaulted. The only thing Savage got correct in this post was the word “and”. Even that was a stretch:
There is nothing Savage won’t rub the wrong way.
Savage the offensive conspiracy theorist
Like many anti-vaccinationists Chris Savage has a broad range of nonsensical, insensitive, offensive beliefs that engender victim-blaming and the accusation of ill-gain by victims of tragedy and victims’ families.
One of the more offensive of the conspiracy theories is the false flag: the accusation that a particular event was staged by the government, with the complicity of victims and their families, so as to cover-up some broader evil agenda.
In 2012 Savage asserted that the massacre inside a Sikh temple by white racists was really the work of the CIA:
Savage, like many of his colleagues, claimed that the Boston Bombing was an obvious false flag:
The New World Order conspiracy is to be expected, of course, via Infowars and Alex Jones:
Chemtrails are a certainty:
Offensively Savage claims that the recent infant death from raw milk was not caused by the raw milk. His evidence? Well, he doesn’t have any of that. Who cares about dead infants when there’s an ideology to uphold, right? Just another day of false flags:
And, where would any upstanding conspiracy theorist be without AIDS lies?
Savage and his ties to white supremacy
If the anti-vaccinationism, the conspiracy theories, the dangerous health products and advice, and the ugly anti-Semitism wasn’t bad enough; then the following should get a few hairs standing up on the backs of your necks. Especially considering Savage’s declarations in favour of firearms and executions.
At least someone calls him out on this astonishing comment:
“Filthy Jew Bitch” from the Daily Stormer, a white supremacist publication:
Again from the Daily Stormer: Savage declares that there is “no more important video than this”, arguing that genocide is being planned by Jews against Christians. Deranged:
The race card. One of the last refuges of a white scoudrel:
I got nothing:
Before we finish I should add that Chris Savage was a candidate for Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party in the 1998 Queensland State Election. Perfect, yes?
This is the man with whom the global anti-vaccination movement is enamoured. We can see the type of person the anti-vaccination movement deems acceptable to include in its ranks; to hoist aloft as a beacon of integrity and valour; to lead the charge of the gibbering masses, blaming everything on the Jews and Jew-doctors.
It is your anti-vaccine movement, Meryl Dorey. It is yours, Sherri Tenpenny. It is yours, Barbara Loe Fisher. It is yours, Stephanie Messenger and Susan Lindberg and Kathy Scarborough and Tasha David and Bronwyn Hancock and Viera Scheibner, and all of the new unhinged zealots of the protests; it is yours Corinne Stanaway (Cos Stanway) and Damien Poulsen and Belgin Colak. It is yours Courtney Hebberman and Luke O’Hehir (Luke E Lawless). He is yours! He is yours, Judy Wilyman and Brian Martin of the University of Wollongong. He is yours.
Christopher William Savage is yours, anti-vaccination movement. Hold him. Cherish him. For he is yours.

Update July 13 2015
A clearly mentally tormented Savage declares that the government-sanctioned agenda of global depopulation by way of vaccine “bioweapons” is underway. Even more troubling, he declares that this is a “war”:
___________________________________________
Update July 22 2015
On May 6 2015 a little boy named Levi Wibberley passed away. Levi had the genetic degenerative disorder, Krabbe Disease. This following is the Facebook page info from Levi’s page:
Levi is an 18 month old little boy living with Krabbe Disease.
Levi was born healthy and thriving and hitting all milestones at the correct age.. until 6.5 months old.. he stopped feeding and started to go floppy.
Levi under went a large amount of tests and surgeries to find out what was wrong.. at 8 months old and many hospital admissions Levi was diagnosed with Krabbe Leukodystrophy Disease.
A terminal illness that many who live with it do not see their second birthday.
What is Krabbe?
Krabbe disease is a degenerative disorder that affects the nervous system. It is caused by the shortage (deficiency) of an enzyme called galactosylceramidase. This enzyme deficiency impairs the growth and maintenance of myelin, the protective covering around certain nerve cells that ensures the rapid transmission of nerve impulses.
The symptoms of Krabbe disease usually begin before the age of 1 year (the infantile form). Initial signs and symptoms typically include irritability, muscle weakness, feeding difficulties, episodes of fever without any sign of infection, stiff posture, and slowed mental and physical development. As the disease progresses, muscles continue to weaken, affecting the infant’s ability to move, chew, swallow, and breathe. Affected infants also experience vision loss and seizures.
Today, Levi’s parent’s were forced to respond to callous misinformation being spread about their little boy’s passing:
Im not normally one to ‘entertain’ the misinformed but the fact that Levi’s passing is the talk of multiple anti-vaccinators around the world really upsets me.. Levi’s disease was not caused by vaccination.. It is a genetic illness passed down from Ben and myself.. this disease can be picked up in utero before any vaccinations are administered. Heartbroken and sick is what I feel seeing my baby used in a uneducated argument..
“Heartbroken and sick”. On top of the pain of having lost their little boy these parents are made to feel even more “heartbroken and sick” by the actions of delusional, callous, cruel anti-vaccinationists; all done in the name of ideology. Savage, of course, is one of them. Levi’s mum and dad should never need to write this:
Levi’s disease was not caused by vaccination.. It is a genetic illness passed down from Ben and myself
Levi’s mum and dad were forced into defending their little boy’s dignity, and the facts surrounding their own pain, due to the actions of the contemptible, cruel Chris Savage and his foul, deranged ilk. From the VRM Facebook group:
But, in true dishonest Savage fashion, the above version of the post is not the original; Savage went in and edited the text after being exposed for the dishonest, cruel crackpot he is. Here is the original text, sans his fake feelings for this grieving family. This is the real Savage; he does not have any interest in facts; nor does he have any concern for Levi’s family. Savage is only interested in spreading conspiracy theories which point to vaccines being the cause of all human misery. Savage only conveys concern for others after being shown for the ghoul he is:
This is classic misinformation from the media owned by Stokes who purchased the Rothschild Family Bible for 15 million…and this story is classic vaccine injury misnamed a rare disease
The cretin also blamed Levi’s mum for having had the influenza immunisation. From the now-deleted VRM post:
I read the symptoms and know that the mother likely had a flu vaccine and baby’s in Australia are given the Hep B at birth routinely so there is your answer
And what did the offensive, dangerous Chris Savage achieve? This:
Heartbroken and sick is what I feel seeing my baby used in a uneducated argument..
Of course, Savage has form. Lot long ago he posted this execrable anti-vaccine stream of lies to the memorial page of little Riley Hughes, who died because he caught whooping cough:
Who does that?
Really.
I’ll let Savage finish off with his own hateful words:
Thanks for reading.


veteranstoday--2020-05-24--Coronavirus vaccine developed in China shows promise after early study in 100 people

A potential developed in China appeared safe and able to generate an immune response after an early trial in more than 100 people , according to a new study .
The vaccine , called Ad5-nCoV , is being developed by the Chinese company CanSino Biologics , and was one of the first coronavirus vaccines to enter early human trials back in March .
Now , there are more than 100 different coronavirus vaccines in development worldwide , with at least eight of those in the process of human trials .
Ad5-nCoV uses a weakened version of a common cold virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infects human cells but doesn ’ t cause disease — to deliver a fragment of genetic material from SARS-CoV-2 , the virus that causes COVID-19 .
This genetic material provides instructions for making the “ spike protein ” on the surface of SARS-CoV-2 .
The idea is that a person ’ s will create antibodies against the spike protein , which will help fight off the coronavirus if the person is later exposed to it .
In the new study , published Friday ( May 22 ) in the journal , the researchers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 18 to 60 who didn ’ t have COVID-19 .
Participants received either a low , middle or high dose of the vaccine .
Two weeks after vaccination , participants in all three groups showed some level of an immune response to the virus .
By 28 days , nearly all participants had developed antibodies that bound to SARS-CoV-2 ( but don ’ t necessarily attack the virus ) , and about half of the participants in the low- and middle- dose groups and three-quarters of participants in the high-dose group developed “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and disable the virus to prevent it from infecting cells .
The most common side effects were mild pain at the injection site , mild fever , fatigue , headache and muscle pain , the study said .
However , nine participants ( two in the low dose group , two in the middle dose group and five in the high dose group ) developed a fever of more than 101 degrees Fahrenheit ( 38.5 degrees Celsius ) , and one participant in the high dose group developed a high fever along with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pain .
However these effects lasted no more than 48 hours .
Participants were aware of which dose they received , which may have affected their perceptions of the side effects , according to .
“ These results represent an important milestone , ” study senior author Wei Chen from the Beijing Institute of Biotechnology in Beijing , China , said in a statement “ However , these results should be interpreted cautiously .
The challenges in the development of a COVD-19 vaccine are unprecedented , and the ability to trigger these immune @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine will protect humans from COVID-19.
” The researchers have now started a larger , phase 2 study of the vaccine involving 500 participants who will be given a low or intermediate dose of the vaccine , or a placebo .
This study will also include participants over 60 years old , and will look at side effects up to six months after vaccination .
Several other coronavirus vaccine candidates reported promising developments this week .
On Monday ( May 18 ) , biotech company Moderna announced that 45 volunteers who received doses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , developed antibodies within 15 days , and that the level of antibodies seen in their blood was comparable to that seen in people who have recovered from COVID-19 , .
In addition , researchers at Oxford University announced that their vaccine candidate , called ChAdOx1-nCov19 , will now be tested in advanced clinical trials involving more than 10,000 people , and doses could be available as early as this September , .

“I’ve been to rice boilings and I’ve been to pig stickings, and the rice boilings had better vibes.” Stephen Gaskin’s celebrated aphorism influenced the hippie generation and helped inspire the trend toward vegetarianism. It made a big impression on me when I was going through my teenager vegetarian phase in the 1970s.
But what is it, specifically, about the “pig stickings” that gives off a noxious odor of bad vibes? Here’s a clue: The most memorable “pig sticking” line in literature occurs in Lord of the Flies: “Kill the pig! Bash her in! Kill the beast! Cut its throat!” The frenzied gang of filthy boys, shipwrecked on a proverbial desert island and reverting to savagery, ritually intones the bloody chant before slaughtering pigs…and then sacrificing humans, beginning with a plump young bespectacled nerd nicknamed Piggy.
Lord of the Flies insists on the connection between pig-stickings and human sacrifice.

In cultures that practice it, eating “long pig” generally occurs after ritual human sacrifice. In one common form that occurs in both Africa and the Pacific Islands (the two most unrelated genetic groups on earth) the ritual sacrifice can happen on the battlefield, where the greatest enemy warrior is killed so his heart or liver may be eaten in hopes that the eaters will partake of his courage. This common form of sacrificial cannibalism drives the plot of Herman Melville’s autobiographical novel Typee.
Keeping the above in mind, I don’t think it is a coincidence that Americans collectively raise a thick pungent cloud of roasting flesh, no doubt pleasing to the nostrils of Yahweh, as their way of honoring their fallen warrior heroes.
