The Obama Administration has done a good thing in granting whistleblower
status to a former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention scientist
who says he intentionally omitted information in a study years ago that
indicated a race-based link between childhood diseases, including
autism, and vaccines.
The scientist, Dr. William S. Thompson,
still works for the CDC, and now he's collaborating closely with a
congressman's office to provide details about his actions to Capitol
Hill, The Daily Caller reports.
In August of last year, Thompson put out a statement revealing his omission:
I
regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant
information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics. The
omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR
vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism.
Decisions were made regarding which findings to report after the data
were collected, and I believe that the final study protocol was not
followed.
His full statement is here.
News
of Thompson's whistleblower status comes amid recent controversy
regarding vaccines and potential 2016 presidential candidates who have
made statements, amid a new measles outbreak, that parents ought to have
some control over whether or not to vaccinate their children.
Potential
GOP contenders Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and New Jersey Gov. Chris
Christie have made pro-parental rights statements; former First Lady and
potential Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton has called vaccine science "settled."
But, as The DC reported further:
Thompson
said that he and other CDC scientists intentionally fudged the results,
manipulating the pool of children they analyzed and limiting the proper
number of African-American children from participating. The authors
limited black children from showing up in the results by excluding
babies without a state of Georgia birth certificate.
That, they concede, skewed the data.
"It was a mutual decision among the five co-authors," Dr. Brian Hooker told The Daily Caller
Hooker,
an associate professor at Simpson University in California, discovered
the deception during conversations he held and secretly recorded last
year. He began talking with Thompson in 2013 and wound up getting it all
on audio recording before distributing the information to vaccine
skeptics online.
"I live close to the Oregon border. I taped the
conversations in a hotel room," Hooker said. "I didn't want people to
run out and delay vaccination because of this, because it was only one
piece of data. But it was the one piece of data that CDC chose to cover up."
"I
did record phone conversations without his prior knowledge. That's not
something I took lightly, and I went to the state of Oregon to do it,"
Hooker, the father of an autistic child, told The DC. "I live fairly
close to the Oregon border, so for most of the conversation I was taping
him in a hotel. The stuff that was being revealed was really
radioactive. I consulted with two different attorneys and decided to go
ahead and record these phone calls."
At Thompson's direction, Hooker revised the original data.
"When
I ran the effect for males only for African-Americans the likelihood
was 3.36. Stronger effect in African-American males and it looked like
the effect was exclusively in African-American males, not females," he
said.
Following the skewing of data, Thompson sent a letter
to then-CDC Director Dr. Julie Geberding in 2004 to discuss
"problematic results" in relation to the MMR vaccine and autism. His
letter highlights the paranoia within the CDC at the time.
"We've
not yet met to discuss these matters.... I will be presenting the
summary of our results from the Metropolitan Atlanta Autism Case-Control
Study and I will have to present several problematic results relating
to statistical associations between the receipt of MMR vaccine and autism," Thompson wrote.
Geberding
is presently the executive vice president of vaccine-maker Merck, after
serving a couple of years as president of the company's vaccine
division.

The mainstream media is, of course, working to suppress this, as The Daily Sheeple documents here.

Vaccine horrors: Medical mutilation of innocent children exposed in GRAPHIC photos of "safe" vaccines gone horribly wrong
Much like Brian Williams, vaccine promoters are serial liars. They know
vaccines harm many children (and even kill some), yet they knowingly lie
to the public by falsely claiming vaccines cause no harm whatsoever.
(They do this willfully, in total violation of all medical ethics and
fundamental honesty with the public.)
The "Big Lie" about vaccine safety is crumbling by the day, of course, causing the vaccine industry to resort to desperate tactics such as attempting to declare absolute government control over your body via a medical police state that forces you to submit to medical interventions. This will, of course, begin with forced vaccinations of unwilling people and then quickly escalate to other things that serve the interests of the medical police state such as forced organ harvesting from the bodies of all Americans. (To accomplish this, they will roll out emotionally charged campaigns of sobbing children who need kidneys, and then demonize people who don't agree to be organ donors as being "selfish" and horrible people.)
Despite the pathetic propaganda attempts, the reality of vaccine damage tells a very different story from the one being falsely portrayed by the sellout media. As the photos below clearly show, vaccines cause horrifying medical mutilations of children again and again.
Keep this in mind the next time you see pathetic liars like Sen. Elizabeth Warren or CDC officials spouting total propaganda nonsense about vaccines being completely "safe and effective" (usually while smirking with evil grins). Watch this shocking video by Rob Dew which reveals the deeply-ingrained evil of vaccine fanatics in Washington who brazenly lie about vaccine "safety."
WARNING: These photos are quite graphic. These children are VICTIMS of vaccine damage, and they have suffered tremendously. This is the true human cost of the vaccine lies and denials being staged by the mainstream media and CDC officials.
Thus, when the CDC says vaccines are "safe and effective," they're knowingly lying! Proof of their big lie is published right on their own website.

A two-year-old boy who developed a serious reaction to his father's smallpox vaccination has recovered but disease detectives found infectious virus all over his house, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Thursday. A photo of the boy's stomach is seen in a handout photo from the University of Chicago's Comer Children's Hospital.

THESE PHOTOS ARE ONLY A SMALL PORTION of all those showing vaccine-damaged children. CDC officials, media newscasters and U.S. lawmakers claim all these photos do not exist, that these children were never harmed, and that vaccines cannot cause such damage at all.
They are liars. Worse than liars, they are medical mutilators of innocent children who continue to be severely damaged by toxic vaccines every single day, all around the world.

Innovation Decentralization and the Structure of Grassroots, Open-Source Revolutions
As most Natural News readers know by now, we're less than two weeks away
from the launch of the Food Rising grow system technology that produces
food without electricity, at very little cost, with almost no effort. (www.FoodRising.org)
I've put countless hours into designing the 3D parts for this system, and huge dollars into testing 3D printers to test print designs that the public can reliably reproduce. This has been a resource-intensive project from the start, but it's well worth it, and in this white paper I attempt to explain why.
The conventional wisdom of modern business says that I should patent these innovations, monopolize them and attempt to maximize the financial profit from them while denying others the right to reproduce these ideas. That's how the traditional corporate business system works, after all: maximize profits, prevent competitors from having your technology and even seek to prevent competitors from introducing similar products. You see it all the time in Big Pharma, where billion-dollar pharma companies actually pay generic drug producers millions of dollars to delay the introduction of lower-priced generic drugs.
But that model of greed only denies humanity the innovations really needed to uplift human civilization and create a better future.
That's why I believe inventors and entrepreneurs like myself need to find more opportunities to give back to the world by sharing our innovations openly and freely. While there's nothing wrong with making an honest profit selling honest products in a competitive free market, sometimes we have to take a leap of faith and just give away great ideas for the benefit of humanity.
Far from trying to prevent people from copying these ideas, I am urging others to copy, share and improve these ideas, all while encouraging them to also share their own ideas freely with the world. We'll even be posting user-submitted object files on FoodRising.org so that great ideas can be shared with an ever-expanding audience.
At the same time all this is launched, I'll also be launching the DIY videos that show you how to make your own Food Rising grow systems using common items found at any hardware store. These instructional videos are also freely provided with the intention of sharing great innovations with people who can add to those ideas with their own revisions, innovations or add-ons.
Simultaneously, we will offer pre-made grow systems as an option for those who wish to purchase ready-to-go systems. Importantly, the first 250 of these systems we're manufacturing are getting donated out to schools across America so that children can experience the joy of learning how to grow their own food (which also teaches them food self-reliance, seed saving and more).
Beyond those 250 systems, the next batch of systems we manufacture will be offered for sale to those who want them for whatever reason (they don't want to make their own, they don't have the skills to make their own, they're in a hurry to get started, etc). But my first priority is to teach you how to make your own systems at home, using your own tools and know-how.
I don't want to live in a world where every person and corporation is consumed with their own personal gain. That path has already led to far too much suffering in our world, thanks to oil companies polluting our oceans, pharmaceutical companies poisoning our bodies and big agricultural giants poisoning our food with pesticides, herbicides and GMOs. A path of total greed pursued to the exclusion of all else is a path of total destruction. Those individuals who have been blessed with financial abundance through innovation, ethical business operations or even from just inheriting wealth have a special obligation, I believe, to find ways to direct at least a portion of those resources into projects that might inspire a better future for all humankind.
This does not mean, by the way, just writing checks to wealthy non-profits like the American Cancer Society. For many non-profits, all you're doing is funding the large salaries of their executives or supporting their hidden corporate agendas. (My own work at the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center, by the way, is purely volunteer. I don't earn a dime for the effort.) So pick your projects wisely. I believe it's better to take a hands-on approach where you are directing your resources to people or projects in a way that you can monitor for efficiency and integrity.
For example, in our own donations of Food Rising grow systems to schools across America, I'm personally overseeing the manufacturing and production of the grow systems. I built the very first prototypes myself and refined the geometry that works best. I programmed the CNC machines that make the precision cuts as part of the manufacturing process. I personally lab-tested the plant food nutrient formulas on our ICP-MS lab instrumentation and made specific improvements to the mineral concentrations in order to deliver vastly increased nutrition. I'll be overseeing the shipping out of the donations to U.S. schools, and I hope to get an opportunity to visit some of these schools in person and see these grow systems in action.
There is no replacement for being there in person, watching your efforts being translated into real experiences for real people.
As a result, the corporate model of endless greed being practiced today is simply not sustainable for our world. Consider just some of the massive global problems caused by corporate greed:
* Mass deforestation promoted by corporate agriculture.
* Near-wipeout of many ocean food species due to endless overfishing.
* Widespread chemical contamination of the world's waterways caused by pharmaceutical manufacturing.
* The routine killing of cancer patients with deadly chemotherapy treatments that were obsolete decades ago (but are still profitable).
* A global food supply nearly devoid of mineral nutrition, transformed into dead "factory foods" and heavily contaminated with synthetic chemicals for added shelf life.
And then you've got other issues that fall into a whole different category of greed that actually crosses the line into violating basic human rights:
* Monsanto's war on farmers and the GMO contamination of our world's food crops.
* Nestle's attempts to monopolize the world's water supplies and force people in developing nations to buy their water from wealthy globalist corporations. Nestle is also the same evil corporation that once attacked breastfeeding and tried to brainwash women in developing nations to feed their infants processed food formula instead of breast milk.
* The war industry's endless staging of global conflict to justify its own existence.
These are the results of runaway greed, and humanity is worse off because of it. Personally, I think the greed-driven corporate model of our global economy is coming to an end.
In 1999 I predicted the fall of the "dinosaur media" and the rise of the decentralized, alternative media we see thriving today. At the time, of course, the mainstream media called me crazy and kept churning out propaganda stories with news anchors like the serial liar Brian Williams, thinking their media hegemony would never be challenged. Today, we know the mainstream media is on a death march, and all the really informed people are reading alternative, independent news sites like TruthRevolt.org, Ben Shapiro's wildly successful conservative news site (Shapiro is one of the sharpest young minds in America today).
It's no secret that I see a global economic crash coming. But the global economic crash is not merely about a milestone economic event taking place that will harm the financial interests of billions of people; it's also about what I see as a systemic failure of the very model of centralized corporate greed.
A global economic collapse will have the result of reverting economic activity back to a local level. While you won't see an end to multinational corporations, of course, you will see a strong rise of local agriculture, local manufacturing and local barter systems.
When you read the word "local," think "decentralization." The localization of economies is essentially the decentralization of economic entities. For example, local farmers' markets are a decentralized version of corporate-run agriculture.
Decentralization is good. Centralization, on the other hand, is usually bad. This is true whether we're talking about economic power, political power or even legislative power. When economic, legislative and political decisions are made locally, they are more in tune with the local needs of the people. They tend to be more just and egalitarian.
Centralized systems suffer from risks of single points of failure. Decentralized systems are redundant precisely because they are "failsafe" in their very structure. One or more nodes of a decentralized system can fail while the other nodes continue to function. The TCP/IP protocol on the internet is an example of a fail-resistant decentralized redundant system. It was originally designed to survive a nuclear attack while data kept flowing through the available nodes.
Seed security -- i.e. "seed diversity" -- is also high when there are hundreds of small seed companies producing seeds. But seed diversity gets crushed under the monopolistic tendencies of corporations like DuPont, Syngenta and Monsanto, all of which have bought up and consolidated literally hundreds of seed companies over the last few years. This has caused a dangerous loss in the diversity of the available seed supply. You could even call it a "crop eugenics" program because it has wiped out many genetic strains of heritage plants which are not "desirable" by the biotech corporate giants.
I not only believe in the power of grassroots, open source, decentralized revolutions for humanity; I am working to practice and demonstrate these principles in my own work.
I believe the future of free currency is peer-to-peer crypto currency. It may not be Bitcoin, but Bitcoin helped set the stage for free currencies that cannot be manipulated by the criminal central banks. Similarly, I believe the future of innovation will come more and more from independent inventors like myself, rather than from institutional research organizations such as universities or corporations.
I also believe that real revolutions happen from the ground up, grassroots style, and that the "top down" government domination system of our world has run out of ideas. Now, governments are running on little more than debt fumes and delusional fairytale promises they can never keep. The global debt Ponzi scheme will, of course, eventually unravel, causing global financial chaos and demonstrating yet again the outright incompetence of centralized control systems that try to exercise domineering control over free people.
The future is open source. The future is grassroots innovation from the bottom up. The future consists of people like me gathering money from honest, ethical business practices (such as the Natural News Store) and redirecting those funds into amazing projects (such as the building of our Forensic Food Lab, which launched a wave of new awareness about heavy metals in many superfoods). It is this lab effort that caused the organic protein industry to clean up its act and produce cleaner products.
I've often said "the most expensive vehicle I own is a tractor," and it's true. I look at money as a tool for discovery or innovation. That's why I have directed large purchases in the past year toward laboratory equipment (new equipment has arrived and is coming online soon!), manufacturing automation equipment and the 3D print farm I'm now operating in Texas.
Like many inventors, I've been ahead of the curve on identifying many important trends over the last couple of decades. I wrote the very first ethical email marketing software application in 1993 and used it to grow a multi-million-dollar company that counted a large percentage of the Fortune 500 as its customers. A decade later, I played a significant role in the health food revolution that now sees organic foods, non-GMO foods and superfoods in high demand almost everywhere. Now, I see additive manufacturing -- 3D printing -- as a revolutionary new technology that will inevitably reshape the geopolitical and economic landscape of our world.
Think about it: 3D printing is local. It's decentralized. It's difficult for corrupt governments to censor. It also has the power to dramatically improve the quality of life for people everywhere when used for the right applications (such as food self-reliance).
I am so convinced of the power of 3D printing to promote freedom and liberty in our world that I have seriously considered launching a 3D printing news website and resigning as Natural News editor to focus on 3D printing full time. This is the next revolution, and it's a field where technical inventors like myself have a wide open field of opportunities that are rich for exploration. That's why I'm applying this technology to food production systems right now; I already have four additional key inventions on the drawing board to be released in 2015. Each of these inventions can also be 3D printed.
I fully realize that revenues are challenging for all of us, and I'm not saying you should give everything away and earn nothing. Obviously, you need a revenue stream to support your goodwill projects, and ethical business practices deserve to be rewarded with honest profits. What I am saying is that once you have some discretionary income or profits, find ways to redirect a portion of those funds into open source, grassroots, decentralized projects that benefit others.
The truth is, you have unique gifts to offer the world. Sometimes the best way to share those gifts is to give them away for free. In fact, my own work on the Food Rising grow systems is based on the discoveries of other such as University of Hawaii professor Bernard Kratky. He taught hundreds of people the principles of "non-circulating hydroponics" (see his research paper here), allowing people like me to learn from those concepts and enhance them with modern-day 3D printing automation technology.
I support technologies, innovations and ideas that empower the 99% to uplift themselves and substantially improve the quality of their lives. That's what the Food Rising grow systems are all about (www.FoodRising.org), and this is also what open source software is about, too.
I'm not talking about welfare for the 99%. Endless welfare is a disaster, and almost every welfare state in the world today is headed for certain bankruptcy (Greece, anyone?). I'm talking about empowering the 99% with solutions they can use to help themselves. Solutions like learning more food self-reliance, for example, so that people everywhere can grow a larger percentage of their own diets and stop relying on government food stamps to purchase processed corporate crap disguised as food.
Instead of giving inner city poor people food stamps to buy genetically modified Doritos, we should be giving them Food Rising grow systems and teaching them how to grow a significant portion of their own food. I'm not holding my breath, of course, waiting for the government to give me some sort of grant to accomplish that. Instead, I've announced an effort to raise the money through private means, enabling us to give away 250 Food Rising grow systems to schools across America.
When we empower the 99%, we make the world a freer, happier and healthier place for everybody.
That's my goal here at Natural News, and that's why I've spent countless hours over the last several months preparing to give away all these innovations for free. It is a calculated strategy to try to help create the world I hope to one day see unfold, where inspired individuals are empowered while evil corporations are made increasingly obsolete. The way to defeat evil corporations like Monsanto is not to confront them, but to make them irrelevant.
If you'd like to help me create this better world, simply subscribe to the email announcement list at www.FoodRising.org , then prepare to help spread the word on the innovations we release to the world for free.
- Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
I've put countless hours into designing the 3D parts for this system, and huge dollars into testing 3D printers to test print designs that the public can reliably reproduce. This has been a resource-intensive project from the start, but it's well worth it, and in this white paper I attempt to explain why.

While there's nothing wrong with making an honest profit selling honest products in a competitive free market, sometimes we have to take a leap of faith and just give away great ideas for the benefit of humanity.
How giving away great ideas benefits everyone
That's exactly what I'm doing with the Food Rising grow system technology. The 3D printable parts I've painstakingly developed -- some of them have over 100 revisions and prototypes -- will be posted on www.FoodRising.org where anyone can download them for free.Far from trying to prevent people from copying these ideas, I am urging others to copy, share and improve these ideas, all while encouraging them to also share their own ideas freely with the world.

But my first priority is to teach you how to make your own systems at home, using your own tools and know-how.
Real revolutions supersede mere profit motives
Why would I do such a thing? Because this is not about capturing profits. This is about launching a food revolution for the world. Chasing profits for their own sake is a fool's errand, but chasing the dream of inspiring a whole new generation of children to learn how to grow food is, as they say, "priceless."I don't want to live in a world where every person and corporation is consumed with their own personal gain. That path has already led to far too much suffering in our world, thanks to oil companies polluting our oceans, pharmaceutical companies poisoning our bodies and big agricultural giants poisoning our food with pesticides, herbicides and GMOs. A path of total greed pursued to the exclusion of all else is a path of total destruction.

There is no replacement for being there in person, watching your efforts being translated into real experiences for real people.
The corporate greed model is unsustainable for our world
I have nothing at all against an honest entrepreneur or corporation making an honest living while operating within ethical boundaries, but it seems that the larger the corporations become, the more readily they abandon ethics in the name of profits.As a result, the corporate model of endless greed being practiced today is simply not sustainable for our world. Consider just some of the massive global problems caused by corporate greed:
* Mass deforestation promoted by corporate agriculture.
* Near-wipeout of many ocean food species due to endless overfishing.
* Widespread chemical contamination of the world's waterways caused by pharmaceutical manufacturing.
* The routine killing of cancer patients with deadly chemotherapy treatments that were obsolete decades ago (but are still profitable).

* The war industry's endless staging of global conflict to justify its own existence.
These are the results of runaway greed, and humanity is worse off because of it. Personally, I think the greed-driven corporate model of our global economy is coming to an end.
The end of the greed paradigm
I have a knack for seeing things way ahead of time. I called the dot-com crash in 1998. I called the housing bubble crash several years later, and in 2013 I called the Bitcoin crash less than 24 hours before it took place in the Spring of that year.In 1999 I predicted the fall of the "dinosaur media" and the rise of the decentralized, alternative media we see thriving today. At the time, of course, the mainstream media called me crazy and kept churning out propaganda stories with news anchors like the serial liar Brian Williams, thinking their media hegemony would never be challenged. Today, we know the mainstream media is on a death march, and all the really informed people are reading alternative, independent news sites like TruthRevolt.org, Ben Shapiro's wildly successful conservative news site (Shapiro is one of the sharpest young minds in America today).

When economic, legislative and political decisions are made locally, they are more in tune with the local needs of the people. They tend to be more just and egalitarian.
Decentralization creates redundancy and security
Decentralization also means redundancy and security. For example, food security is high in a nation where a large percentage of the population grows food in home gardens or small farms. Food security is low in a nation -- such as America -- where food is produced by corporate entities that control and dominate the food distribution supply lines.Centralized systems suffer from risks of single points of failure. Decentralized systems are redundant precisely because they are "failsafe" in their very structure. One or more nodes of a decentralized system can fail while the other nodes continue to function. The TCP/IP protocol on the internet is an example of a fail-resistant decentralized redundant system. It was originally designed to survive a nuclear attack while data kept flowing through the available nodes.

But seed diversity gets crushed under the monopolistic tendencies of corporations like DuPont, Syngenta and Monsanto, all of which have bought up and consolidated literally hundreds of seed companies over the last few years. This has caused a dangerous loss in the diversity of the available seed supply. You could even call it a "crop eugenics" program because it has wiped out many genetic strains of heritage plants which are not "desirable" by the biotech corporate giants.
I not only believe in the power of grassroots, open source, decentralized revolutions for humanity; I am working to practice and demonstrate these principles in my own work.
How I'm helping support the decentralization, grassroots revolution for humanity
It's not enough to be a so-called "Egghead libertarian," where people sit around and academically debate what policies work best. It's important that people like myself who have the resources and capabilities engage in practical action that sets an example of what we believe in.I believe the future of free currency is peer-to-peer crypto currency. It may not be Bitcoin, but Bitcoin helped set the stage for free currencies that cannot be manipulated by the criminal central banks. Similarly, I believe the future of innovation will come more and more from independent inventors like myself, rather than from institutional research organizations such as universities or corporations.
I also believe that real revolutions happen from the ground up, grassroots style, and that the "top down" government domination system of our world has run out of ideas. Now, governments are running on little more than debt fumes and delusional fairytale promises they can never keep. The global debt Ponzi scheme will, of course, eventually unravel, causing global financial chaos and demonstrating yet again the outright incompetence of centralized control systems that try to exercise domineering control over free people.
Giving away great ideas, where possible, creates a better world for everyone
The future of innovation requires nothing more than smart people making the decision to give away great ideas in the interest of contributing to a better world. And I intend to be one small part of that effort, joining a long list of others who have already done this in the world of open source operating system development (Linux), open source software (such as the Cura slicer for 3D printers), and even the RepRap 3D printer movement itself, now embraced by open source printer companies like Lulzbot.The future is open source. The future is grassroots innovation from the bottom up. The future consists of people like me gathering money from honest, ethical business practices (such as the Natural News Store) and redirecting those funds into amazing projects (such as the building of our Forensic Food Lab, which launched a wave of new awareness about heavy metals in many superfoods). It is this lab effort that caused the organic protein industry to clean up its act and produce cleaner products.
Money is a tool for funding innovation that can benefit humanity
The future will be led by people who think of money as a tool to be deployed, not as a goal to be hoarded. Corporations that are more interested in their share prices than treating their customers with basic human dignity are headed for extinction.I've often said "the most expensive vehicle I own is a tractor," and it's true. I look at money as a tool for discovery or innovation. That's why I have directed large purchases in the past year toward laboratory equipment (new equipment has arrived and is coming online soon!), manufacturing automation equipment and the 3D print farm I'm now operating in Texas.
Like many inventors, I've been ahead of the curve on identifying many important trends over the last couple of decades. I wrote the very first ethical email marketing software application in 1993 and used it to grow a multi-million-dollar company that counted a large percentage of the Fortune 500 as its customers. A decade later, I played a significant role in the health food revolution that now sees organic foods, non-GMO foods and superfoods in high demand almost everywhere. Now, I see additive manufacturing -- 3D printing -- as a revolutionary new technology that will inevitably reshape the geopolitical and economic landscape of our world.
Think about it: 3D printing is local. It's decentralized. It's difficult for corrupt governments to censor. It also has the power to dramatically improve the quality of life for people everywhere when used for the right applications (such as food self-reliance).
I am so convinced of the power of 3D printing to promote freedom and liberty in our world that I have seriously considered launching a 3D printing news website and resigning as Natural News editor to focus on 3D printing full time. This is the next revolution, and it's a field where technical inventors like myself have a wide open field of opportunities that are rich for exploration. That's why I'm applying this technology to food production systems right now; I already have four additional key inventions on the drawing board to be released in 2015. Each of these inventions can also be 3D printed.
Join me in launching the next great revolution for humanity
I want to urge you to think about everything I've shared here and imagine ways you can share your own ideas and innovations with the world in a decentralized, open source fashion.I fully realize that revenues are challenging for all of us, and I'm not saying you should give everything away and earn nothing. Obviously, you need a revenue stream to support your goodwill projects, and ethical business practices deserve to be rewarded with honest profits. What I am saying is that once you have some discretionary income or profits, find ways to redirect a portion of those funds into open source, grassroots, decentralized projects that benefit others.
The truth is, you have unique gifts to offer the world. Sometimes the best way to share those gifts is to give them away for free. In fact, my own work on the Food Rising grow systems is based on the discoveries of other such as University of Hawaii professor Bernard Kratky. He taught hundreds of people the principles of "non-circulating hydroponics" (see his research paper here), allowing people like me to learn from those concepts and enhance them with modern-day 3D printing automation technology.
I don't want to live in a world ruled by the 1%
The bottom line in all this? I don't want to live in a world where the wealthiest 1% rule the other 99%. That's the world we have today, unfortunately, and it's a far cry from the abundance, health and happiness we could be achieving if ideas, economies and power were more decentralized. (It's actually more like the 0.0001% ruling everybody else, as most wealth has been heavily concentrated into the hands of just a few globalist families.)I support technologies, innovations and ideas that empower the 99% to uplift themselves and substantially improve the quality of their lives. That's what the Food Rising grow systems are all about (www.FoodRising.org), and this is also what open source software is about, too.
I'm not talking about welfare for the 99%. Endless welfare is a disaster, and almost every welfare state in the world today is headed for certain bankruptcy (Greece, anyone?). I'm talking about empowering the 99% with solutions they can use to help themselves. Solutions like learning more food self-reliance, for example, so that people everywhere can grow a larger percentage of their own diets and stop relying on government food stamps to purchase processed corporate crap disguised as food.
Instead of giving inner city poor people food stamps to buy genetically modified Doritos, we should be giving them Food Rising grow systems and teaching them how to grow a significant portion of their own food. I'm not holding my breath, of course, waiting for the government to give me some sort of grant to accomplish that. Instead, I've announced an effort to raise the money through private means, enabling us to give away 250 Food Rising grow systems to schools across America.
When we empower the 99%, we make the world a freer, happier and healthier place for everybody.
That's my goal here at Natural News, and that's why I've spent countless hours over the last several months preparing to give away all these innovations for free. It is a calculated strategy to try to help create the world I hope to one day see unfold, where inspired individuals are empowered while evil corporations are made increasingly obsolete. The way to defeat evil corporations like Monsanto is not to confront them, but to make them irrelevant.
If you'd like to help me create this better world, simply subscribe to the email announcement list at www.FoodRising.org , then prepare to help spread the word on the innovations we release to the world for free.

Obama adviser John Podesta's biggest regret: Keeping America in dark about UFOs
Outgoing senior Obama adviser
John Podesta reflected on his latest White House stint Friday, listing
his favorite moments and biggest regrets from the past year. Chief among
them: depriving the American people of the truth about UFOs.
Podesta’s longtime fascination
with UFOs is well-documented, as his brief political hiatus following
four years as President Bill Clinton’s chief of staff freed him up to
pursue his otherworldly passion.At a 2002 press conference organized by the Coalition for Freedom of Information, Podesta spoke on the importance of disclosing government UFO investigations to the public.
“It’s time to find out what the truth really is that’s out there,” he said. “We ought to do it, really, because it’s right. We ought to do it, quite frankly, because the American people can handle the truth. And we ought to do it because it’s the law.”

UFO Encounters in the Arizona Desert
I went on a UFO sighting tour in Sedona, Ariz., with a woman who says she has been abducted by aliens.
It
happened quite spontaneously, after I casually picked up her brochure
in a local shop. The brochure came with this promise: Sightings are
guaranteed or your money back.
Hard
to pass that up, and I was curious. Within 24 hours, I found myself
scanning the night sky for “unknowns” (aka UFOs) with military-grade
night-vision goggles.
A “UFO Sighting Guarantee” is just too good to pass up. (Photo: Erica Bray)
Before
you start judging (and perhaps you already are), know that I entered
into this experience with a fair amount of skepticism, not the wide-eyed
merriment of a gullible tourist.

Measles vaccines kill more people than measles, CDC data proves
Parents concerned about their vaccinated children potentially
contracting measles from unvaccinated children may want to consider the
fact that the bigger health threat is technically the vaccine, not the
disease itself. Comparative data provided by the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Vaccine Adverse Event
Reporting System (VAERS) reveal that nobody has died from measles
in more than 10 years, while at least 108 deaths reported in VAERS
during the same time frame have been linked to measles vaccines.
Many of our older readers probably remember a time when measles wasn't viewed with the obscene level of paranoid hysterics being witnessed today. Like chickenpox, measles was a common childhood infection that, after running its typically mild course, imparted lifelong immunity in those who contracted it. The risk of serious complications or death from measles has always been overwhelmingly minimal, in other words, with previous generations viewing it as something of a rite of passage.
Fast forward to today and all rationality and common sense has gone out the window on this issue. The media is reporting a few isolated cases of measles as if it were the black plague, calling for those who don't vaccinate their children to be ostracized from their communities or even jailed for "putting others at unnecessary risk." But where are the facts in all this unsubstantiated mania, which unfairly tags the unvaccinated as dangerous lepers?
Once again, the media is discarding factual reporting in favor of mindless sensationalism, attributing an alleged measles resurgence -- even this claim is specious -- to the unvaccinated. Whether or not this claim is actually true pales in importance compared to the fact that measles really isn't much of a threat in the first place. The measles vaccine, on the other hand, is a whole different story.
"There have been no measles deaths reported in the U.S. since 2003," the Associate Press reported based off statements made by Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.
Meanwhile, VAERS, which captures only a very small percentage of the actual number of injuries and deaths associated with measles vaccines, reports at least 108 deaths associated with measles vaccines since 2003. Of these, a shocking 96 deaths were reported in conjunction with MMR, which is now the preferred vaccine for measles immunization.
This plotted graph from HealthSentinel.com visually illustrates this:
"What you may not have heard, is that by 1963, the death rate from measles in the United States had already dropped by approximately 98%," explains the International Medical Council on Vaccination (IMCV).
Not long after it was introduced, the first measles vaccine was actually found to manifest worse symptoms of measles in vaccinated patients than if they hadn't gotten the vaccine at all. The vaccine also suppressed the normal rash and fever associated with measles, obstructing the normal immune response and ultimately leading to future health problems for vaccinated individuals once they reached adulthood.
"[W]hereas natural measles exposure generally left the person with reliable lifelong immunity, measles vaccines leave the individual with waning immunity," adds IMCV. "This dynamic of waning immunity means we will probably see measles epidemics even in highly vaccinated populations."

Of these, a shocking 96 deaths were reported in conjunction with MMR, which is now the preferred vaccine for measles immunization.
Measles deaths were virtually nonexistent prior to introduction of vaccine, which is now triggering outbreaks
Some will try to argue that measles deaths are essentially nonexistent now because of measles vaccines, the first of which was introduced in 1963. But this argument holds no water -- U.S. measles mortality data shows that deaths from measles rapidly declined in the years leading up to when the first vaccine was introduced, validating the success of improved sanitation and better nutrition in making measles a non-problem.This plotted graph from HealthSentinel.com visually illustrates this:

Merck vaccine scientist threatened with jail time for trying to expose massive vaccine data manipulation and fraud
A Merck vaccine scientist was threatened with jail time for trying to
expose the outright scientific fraud and data falsification being used
by the vaccine industry to make its faulty products appear to work even
when they don't, according to a document filed with the United States
government.
Former Merck virologist Stephen A Krahling tried to go to the FDA with evidence of vaccine research fraud taking place at Merck, but he was threatened with jail time by Merck's own people, according to a False Claims Act document he and another co-worker filed with the federal government.
Merck senior management not only threatened jail time if the scientist exposed the fraud; they also attempted to pay him off with promises of financial bonuses if he kept quiet, the documents explain.
The following quotes are found in this document: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Civil action No. 10-4374. "Complaint for Violations of the Federal False Claims Act."
Click here to read the full document yourself.
Here's the top part of the first page of the document:
Read this and be amazed at what they aren't telling you.
Below this text, you'll find more screen shots of the actual document...
This case is about Merck's efforts for more than a decade to defraud the United States with respect to the efficacy of Merck's mumps vaccine.
The FDA insists on such a high efficacy rate (95%) because only then can the disease ultimately be eradicated through what is commonly referred to as "herd immunity."
Without demonstrating that its mumps vaccine continued to be 95% effective, Merck would lose its exclusive license to manufacture and sell its MMRII vaccine.
Relators Krahling and Wlochowski participated on the team that conducted this supposedly enhanced test. Each of them witnessed firsthand the falsification of the test data in which Merck engaged to reach its 95% efficacy threshold. In fact, each was significantly pressured by Krah and other senior Merck personnel to participate in this fraud."
Merck added rabbit antibodies for the singular purpose of altering the outcome of the
test by increasing the virus neutralization count.
Without applying a proper "control" to the process, there is no way to isolate whether virus neutralization is caused by the human antibodies alone or in combination with the rabbit's antibodies, Merck did not apply this kind of control.
And adding rabbit antibodies as a supplement to a vaccine was not an option because it could result in serious complications to a human, even death.
Krah did not act alone in orchestrating the falsification of Merck's mumps vaccine test results. He acted with the authority and approval of Merck's senior management.
In July, Relator Krahling met with Alan Shaw, Merck's Executive Director of Vaccine Research and complained to him about the fraudulent vaccine testing.
Shaw talked about the significant bonuses that Emini had promised to pay once the testing was complete.
Relator Krahling then met with Bob Suter, Krahling's human resources representative at Merck. Krahling told Suter about the falsification of testing data and Shaw's refusal to get involved. Krahling told Suter that he was going to report the activity to the FDA. Suter told him he would go to jail if he contacted the FDA and offered to set up a private meeting with Emini where Krahling could discuss his concerns.
Emini agreed that Krah had misrepresented the data. Krahling also complained about the use of rabbit antibodies to inflate the seroconversion rate. Emini responded that the rabbit antibodies were necessary for Merck to achieve the project's objective.
The next morning, Krah arrived early to the lab and packaged up and destroyed evidence of the ongoing Protocol 007 efficacy testing. This included garbage bags full of the experimental plates that would have (and should have) been maintained for review until the testing was complete and final.
Despite the threats he received from Suter and Emini, Krahling called the FDA to report this activity and Merck's ongoing fraud. On August 6, 2001, in response to Krahling's call, an FDA agent came to Merck to question Krah and Shaw... And she did not address the actual destruction of evidence that Krah had already facilitated.
What no one knew outside of Merck - - not the FDA, the CDC or any other governmental agency - - was that this result was the product of Merck's improper use of rabbit antibodies and the wide-scale falsification of test data to conceal the inflated seroconversion numbers these antibodies generated.
In 2005, the FDA granted Merck approval and an exclusive U.S. license for its ProQuad vaccine. Merck obtained the license continuing to misrepresent the efficacy of its mumps vaccine.
Around the same time, the EMA also approved Sanofi Pasteur MSD's application for sale of Merck's ProQuad in Europe. As with MMRVaxPro, Merck's joint venture submitted the falsified results of Protocol 007 to the EMA as supportive clinical information in its vaccine application.
In 2006, more than 6,500 cases of mumps were reported in the Mid-West. This was the largest mumps outbreak in almost twenty years...
The CDC, FDA and Merck publicly worked together to determine the cause of this 2006 outbreak. Of course, only Merck knew that the primary cause was the insufficient efficacy of its vaccine.
