The most censored health news stories of 2014

2014 was a year in which we watched the mainstream media devolve into a spot-on depiction of George Orwell's Ministry of Truth, engaging in White House-ordered news story blackouts, CDC-inspired anti-health propaganda that endangered the public and corporate-funded disinfo campaigns disguised as news.

But what were the biggest health-related censored news stories of the year? That's what this Natural News article is all about. Consider it a short list of things the establishment doesn't want you to remember actually happened.

Remember: The purpose of the mainstream media -- which is really the state-run, corporate-backed propaganda mouthpiece -- is not to keep you informed but rather to keep you in a state of obedient ignorance of what's really going on in the world around you. The censorship of important news stories is a key element in this scheme, and it is vigorously pursued to make sure the public doesn't find out about real-world events, discoveries or scandals the establishment is trying to bury.

Censored story #1) CDC whistleblower admits vaccines linked to autism

In August of 2014, a high-level CDC scientist named William Thompson went public with an admission that he and other scientists knowingly committed scientific fraud at the CDC. This was done, Thompson explained, to bury any public knowledge of the scientific evidence linking vaccines and autism.

In a public letter posted on the website of his legal counsel, Thompson wrote:

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...

Along with this admission, Natural News also exclusively released two secret emails further implicating the CDC and its top scientists and executives. You can read those emails here.

Following this astonishing revelation -- clearly one of the biggest medical fraud stories of the decade -- the entire mainstream media blackballed the story and shamelessly decided to take part in a media-wide cover-up. To this day, there isn't a single mainstream media outlet that has reported the scientific fraud that was committed at the CDC and openly admitted to by the CDC's own scientist.

Interestingly, it wasn't long after this took place that the CDC got caught lying over and over again about Ebola transmission vectors. In the later months of 2014, the CDC's "authority" and reputation took a nose dive as the American public came to quickly realize the agency lied far more often than it told the truth (see below).

The CDC even memory-holed its own document which originally admitted Ebola can be spread through aerosolized particles. In response to this schizophrenic behavior of the CDC, we decided to have some fun with the concept here at Natural News and released a parody CDC guidance document that encouraged Americans to do things like spend extra time scrubbing their middle fingers. (See the parody document here - PDF.)

What we really learned about the mainstream media this year, however, is that all stories revealing scientific fraud at the CDC will be systematically suppressed.

The media, in other words, is a CDC protection racket.

Censored story #2) The ongoing Ebola outbreak in America

When the Ebola outbreak story first broke in the United States, the mainstream media was all over it. Stories ran 24/7, with regular updates on hospitals testing patients for possible Ebola infections and round-the-clock coverage of the Ebola outbreak in a Dallas hospital.

But in the run-up to the mid-term elections in which Democrats looked to get crushed, the White House put out an order to the national media: No more Ebola stories.

And just like that, coverage of Ebola dropped to absolute zero. Across the nation, the entire mainstream media censored nearly all stories about Ebola in the USA on orders from the federal government. Sure, they still reported on Ebola in Africa -- that seems really far away to the average brainwashed TV news viewer -- but no stories of Ebola in the United States were allowed. The cover-up was now under way, and it has continued to this day despite the fact that the CDC is still tracking 1,400 possible Ebola infections in the United States.

You won't read that story in the mainstream media, of course. You're not allowed to know this information. All you'll get in the mainstream media is laughably absurd statements from the Obama administration's most ridiculous talking heads such as "Ebola czar" Ron Klain who said yesterday that the CDC is "a national treasure."

You heard that right. Sort of like Mt. Rushmore or the Grand Tetons. The same CDC that conspires with drug companies to push toxic vaccines laced with mercury onto pregnant women is a "national treasure" according to the comical talking heads on the news. These are the same people who share million-dollar government paychecks with the likes of Obamacare architect and MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, the man who openly explained how the wildly unconstitutional law was constructed in a "tortured way" to exploit "the stupidity of the American voter."

Three things you need to realize about the obedient, contrived media

This orchestrated nationwide censorship demonstrated three very revealing things about the mainstream media:

#1) The media is wholly obedient to the dictates of the federal government. Whatever the White House orders the media to do, it will obediently and blindly follow.

#2) The media has utterly abandoned real journalism. When the national press is beholden to the government and unwilling to run stories of public interest that the White House doesn't want run, it is no longer a "free press" but a pathetic mouthpiece of the establishment.

#3) The purpose of the media is to shape the awareness of the public, not to inform the public. It essentially functions as a massive sleight-of-hand stage magician, encouraging you to look in one direction while not seeing the subterfuge taking place in the other direction. Once an Ebola vaccine becomes commercially viable, of course, you will see the national press running a full-on campaign of scary-sounding Ebola stories, with each one strongly urging everybody to get vaccinated.

All these reasons explain why so many people are turning off the mainstream media and tuning in to alternative media sources where the White House and the CDC can't control the content. If you want to know the truth about infectious disease, don't believe anything you see or read in the mainstream media. Nearly 100% of that information is CDC propaganda.

Censored story #3) Toxic heavy metals in organic rice protein

Early in 2014, I announced the launch of the Natural News Forensic Food Lab which features high-end ICP-MS analytical instrumentation that can detect heavy metals and minerals down to 1 part per billion.

With the help of chemists, I learned how to run this instrumentation and began running heavy metals analysis on foods, superfoods, nutritional supplements and more. In this process, I discovered alarming concentrations of lead and cadmium in the rice protein being imported from China and used across the natural products industry in the United States, sold as "raw, sprouted organic rice protein" superfood.

This was a huge story in the alternative media, and it caused an uproar in the industry where manufacturers quickly responded with efforts to source cleaner raw materials. I personally negotiated with North America's top organic protein manufacturers and reached an historic agreement to limit heavy metals concentrations in these products. (I'll be testing all the proteins again in early 2015 and reporting the results to see what improvements have been achieved).

This huge story -- with massive public health implications -- was ignored by virtually the entire mainstream media. The reason, I was later told, was because no media organization wanted to give Natural News any credibility as a "science" organization conducting scientific laboratory assessments of food... even though that's exactly what we were doing. If the same research had been done at a university, I was told, it would have made huge headlines and been widely reported.

Natural News, you see, is not allowed to be mentioned in any positive light in the mainstream media for the simple reason that we oppose mercury in vaccines, the psychiatric drugging of children, unlabeled GMO food, toxic fluoride in municipal water supplies, the spraying of toxic chemical pesticides on food, and so on. These positions are unacceptable to the corporate-controlled "puppet media" (i.e. mainstream media) whose stories are almost 100% driven by either corporate or government interests. Those interests, of course, are 100% aligned with the chemical poisoning of the population -- and it is precisely this chemical poisoning that dumbs people down to a low enough IQ where they can watch shows like CNN or MSNBC and actually believe they're watching news.

The one exception to all this is the Dr. Oz Show. Doctor Oz invited me on the show to reveal my laboratory findings to his global audience, and that became one of the most popular shows of 2014. Thanks to Dr. Oz, the secret was out about heavy metals in rice protein, herbs from China and even some cacao powders.

I find it interesting that Dr. Oz is now being viciously attacked and slandered by the pharma-controlled mainstream media. Apparently, the media is totally panicked that Dr. Oz has the courage to actually tell the truth.

In today's "scientific dictatorship" of genetically modified news, so to speak, no actual truth is allowed. The only "truth" that's allowed to be published by the establishment actually consists of outrageous quack science lies such as "mercury in vaccines is good for pregnant women" or "chemical pesticides are harmless to humans" or even "there is no link between vaccines and autism." (Even the CDC's own top scientists know there's a link.)

Censored story #4) Vaccines intentionally laced with sterilization chemicals for population control

Here's another story you didn't see in the mainstream media. A pro-vaccine group called the Kenya Catholic Doctors Association discovered that 2.3 million women in Kenya were injected with UNICEF / WHO vaccines laced with sterilization chemicals.

"We sent six samples from around Kenya to laboratories in South Africa. They tested positive for the HCG antigen," Dr. Muhame Ngare of the Mercy Medical Centre in Nairobi told LifeSiteNews. "They were all laced with HCG."

As I wrote on November 8, 2014:

HCG is a chemical developed by the World Health Organization for sterilization purposes. When injected into the body of a young woman, it causes a pregnancy to be destroyed by the body's own antibody response to the HCG, resulting in a spontaneous abortion. Its effectiveness lasts for years, causing abortions in women up to three years after the injections.

Dr. Ngare explained "...this WHO campaign is not about eradicating neonatal tetanus but a well-coordinated forceful population control mass sterilization exercise using a proven fertility regulating vaccine."


There was absolutely no mention of this genocidal vaccine campaign by the mainstream media in the United States. The story was completely blacked out, just like a related story on another vaccine in Italy killing 13 people and being pulled by the government.

In fact, it is official policy across all mainstream media organizations to:

1) Censor all stories of vaccine injuries, deaths, contamination and sterilization schemes.

2) Mindlessly promote all vaccines as miracle medicines, with the complete absence of critical thinking or real investigative journalism.

The one notable exception to all this was an Associated Press investigation into the wildly unconstitutional vaccine injury court currently running in America, where parents of children who are directly damaged by vaccines must wait ten years or more to receive a financial payout. And as part of that payout, they must agree to never speak to the press about their child being damaged by vaccines.

The AP deserves real credit for having the courage to investigate this story. Apparently real journalism is still alive and well in some sectors of the AP and, at times, even Reuters. My sense is that there are journalists everywhere who are dying to engage in real journalism but are stifled by their corporate bosses. Anyone who attempts to print the truth about vaccine-damaged children is quickly threatened or fired from their jobs.

Five signs that a media organization has sold you out

So how can you tell whether a media organization can be trusted to tell you the truth about real-world events? Here are five red flags that indicate an organization has sold you out:

Sign #1) Blind obedience to the vaccine industry or biotech industry
If the news organization is constantly promoting pro-vaccine or pro-biotech stories while refusing to ask intelligent, skeptical questions about those subjects, they can't be trusted. You'll even find this to be true among some "alternative" publications that try to position themselves as alternative news but have actually been bought out by Bill & Melinda Gates money. Wikipedia also demonstrates blind obedience to the vaccine and biotech industries because it has largely been taken over by "biotech gangs" of sock puppet editors who pose as "volunteers" but are actually paid by corporations to spread disinformation.

Sign #2) Blind obedience to the White House / Obama worship
The blind worship of authority is another sign that something is terribly wrong with that news outlet. A real press would hammer the White House with tough questions, not kow-tow to a dictatorial tyrant that routinely violates the laws of the land.

Sign #3) Participates in organized censorship of important stories such as the CDC vaccine whistleblower
Every large news organization that refused to cover the CDC vaccine whistleblower story has already abandoned any shred of real journalism or ethical reporting. This was one of the biggest health stories of the decade with implications for tens of millions of people. A large nationwide dialog needs to take place over this issue right now, even as we are headed for a future where fifty percent of the children will become autistic by the year 2025 according to some estimates. Vaccines clearly play a role in this equation, so why is the mainstream media covering up a huge whistleblower admission from the CDC's own top-level scientist? Shameless.

Sign #4) Receives large advertising revenues from drug companies
Any news organization that's largely driven by ad revenues from drug companies has also abandoned all ethics. There is no legitimate justifiable reason for drug companies to advertise doctor-prescribed patented medicines directly to the public, and the practice is illegal almost everywhere else in the world. Media organizations that contribute to this practice in the United States are collaborating in a horrific mass over-medication epidemic that harms American children and senior citizens while bankrupting cities, businesses and private households due to skyrocketing health insurance costs (which are directly calculated from prescription drug prices and prescribing trends).

Even worse, the money influence of the mainstream media allows drug companies to dictate the content of their articles, which is exactly why the media is so gung-ho about promoting medications all the time.

Sign #5) Parrots the same canned news of every other mainstream news outlet
The biggest sign that a news organization shouldn't be trusted is the mindless parroting of the exact same news that every other mainstream organization is pushing. When you see the same contrived story published over and over again across a hundred or more mainstream newspapers, you know the story is being fed to them from an outside source. This "outside source" is usually the White House, the CDC, a corporate press release or some other piece of total propaganda that's crafted and distorted to look like news.

Very few media organizations conduct actual journalism anymore. Most so-called "stories" are just corporate press releases re-written without any fact-checking or due diligence whatsoever.

Where to get uncensored news: The rise of the Alternative Media

Just as the economic middle class is disappearing in the western world today, so is the "knowledge middle class." With each passing year, we're seeing an expanding divide between those who are totally ignorant of reality (people who watch cable news networks) and those who are well informed (people who read alternative news websites).

People who watch mainstream cable news broadcasts have become functionality retarded in their lack of practical knowledge about the way the world really works. They don't know, for example, that what you eat affects the health outcome you experience. They think flu shots really work. They think guns are so dangerous than they magically go off by merely being touched. These people believe chemotherapy helps them heal, vitamins are dangerous and that General Mills breakfast cereals are nutritious because they are fortified with small metal shavings known as "iron fortification."

It's important to understand the mindset of the mainstream media in feeding all this theater to the gullible public. Content censors and story fabricators who occupy the top positions in media are fully aware that they are running a theatrical production largely based on fiction, but they figure anyone stupid enough to believe what they're broadcasting is probably deserving of the lies they're being fed anyway. It's all a grand joke being played out on the public, and I've personally heard from more than one ex-journalist who told me things like, "Day after day we couldn't believe the public was still swallowing what we were broadcasting... so we just kept going."

People who read the alternative media websites, on the other hand, know that almost everything in media and government is a charade... a Hunger Games-like theater of the absurd, where everything is contrived, staged or manipulated to further the interests of either a powerful corporate sponsor or a power-hungry government that wants to dominate its people. The liberal media was all over this charade when Bush was in charge and contrived evidence was whipped up regarding "weapons of mass destruction," but as soon as their own guy (Obama) occupied the White House, they became rapid supporters of the very same class of absurd fictions such as "if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan" and "Obamacare will make health insurance affordable for everyone!"

Alternative news readers are the best-informed people

Alternative news fans, on the other hand, know things that clueless mainstream news consumers will never understand: Fluoride is a toxic waste pesticide chemical from China that's dumped into the U.S. water supply. The vaccine injury court is a sham that denies Americans their constitutional right to due process. The cancer industry doesn't want to cure cancer; it wants to profit from it. Fresh raw milk is good for you. Vaccines are laced with heavy metals, toxic chemicals and sometimes even hidden cancer viruses. The CDC works for the pharmaceutical industry and once approved a polio vaccine that may have caused up to 98 million Americans to be injected with cancer-causing viruses. The Federal Reserve is part of a private global banking cartel that profits from the systematic theft of purchasing power via relentless currency debasement. And a global debt collapse is coming because it is mathematically inevitable.

Those who are well informed by reading the alternative media usually have trouble being around mindless mainstream media consumers because it's difficult to have an intelligent conversation with them. Where to even begin? You can't tell them things like "America has conspired with Saudia Arabia to launch a petrodollar currency war against Russia" because people who watch mainstream news stations have no knowledge of currency wars, the petrodollar, the history of America's collaboration with the anti human rights Saudi kingdom, and so on.

Similarly, you can't delve in to the physics of why concrete-and-steel buildings don't just magically collapse pancake-style from a few office fires, because they've been trained to cognitively reject all laws of physics that conflict with the myths which have been drilled into their heads by the mindless media. Trying to explain reality to a mainstream media news consumer is a lot like trying to teach a pig to sing: you waste your time and annoy the pig.

No, the zombies who are hypnotized and indoctrinated by mainstream media have to escape their mental prisons on their own. It's a process that some can achieve and others can't, for whatever reason. But it's a process that can't be forced on anyone. If people want to eat their genetically modified junk food, get injected with mercury-laced flu shots and believe that Obama is a friend of the U.S. Constitution, then they have a long journey ahead of them if they want to learn anything at all about the way the world really works.

Where to get real alternative news

Here's a list of some of the best alternative news sources which also support liberty and real freedom for the republic. I obviously can't endorse every single article at every single website listed here, but overall these are sources that will give you the most accurate, reliable and lifesaving information on everything from the coming economic collapse to preventing disease and living off the grid:

Korean Kimchi Recipe


Kimchi is a famous fermented vegetable dish from Korea. Usually served as a side dish, there are more than 300 different varieties of kimchi, depending on the main vegetable ingredient used and the region or season in which they’re made.
Nowadays, you’ll see a lot of ready-to-eat kimchi brands in supermarkets, but no matter how convenient they seem to be, many of these products are often loaded with artificial flavorings, toxic fillers, and harmful additives, and have also gone through excessive processing that may have eliminated any living organism in them.
To make sure that you get the quality, the freshness, and all the health perks that you’re after, I encourage you to make your own kimchi at home using this recipe:
Ingredients:
  • 4 cups of water
  • 4 tablespoons sea salt
  • 1 head cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup daikon radish grated or 1 cup asparagus cut into one-inch pieces
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions:
  1. In a large bowl, mix a brine of the water and salt. Mix well to thoroughly dissolve salt. Add the cabbage and daikon radish. Cover with a plate or other weight to keep the vegetables submerged. Soak for 12 hours.
  2. Drain the brine from the vegetables, reserving the brine. Taste the vegetables for saltiness. If they are too salty, you can rinse the vegetables. If they are not salty enough, sprinkle with a little more salt (one quarter teaspoon at a time).
  3. Combine the asparagus, green beans, scallions, garlic, ginger, and cayenne pepper. Add to the cabbage mixture.
  4. Put the whole mix into a jar or crock. Pour the soaking liquid over the vegetables, making sure that they are completely submerged in liquid.
  5. Tip: Don’t forget to squeeze your vegetables before putting them into the jar using your hands. "Bruising" the vegetables in this way allows the cell walls to break down and release their juices.
  6. Cover loosely with a clean cloth and set aside for three to seven days. The ideal room temperature to help with the fermentation is around 70°F. If it is colder, the fermentation takes longer.
  7. Check the kimchi daily. Make sure the vegetables stay covered in brine. After three to seven days, the kimchi will taste ripe. Once this happens, place in glass jar in the refrigerator. It will keep for months.
(From Healthy Recipes for Your Nutritional Type)

Korean Kimchi Cooking Tips

  1. Use only fresh and organic vegetables from your local farmer. 
  2. Choose cabbages that are hard, heavy, and have densely packed leaves. The lighter, leafier varieties tend to turn into mush that doesn't ferment well.
  3. Peel your vegetables to avoid getting the bitter flavor from the skin.
  4. Feel free to season your ferment naturally according to your liking with bell pepper, organic Granny Smith apples, or a hot pepper like habanero (make sure you wear gloves!).
  5. Add sea vegetables or seaweed to increase the mineral, vitamin, and fiber content of your fermented vegetables.
  6. When adding aromatics, such as onion, garlic, and ginger, remember that fermenting increases the flavor multiple-fold, so a little goes a long way. Don't overdo it! A few medium-size cloves are enough to infuse a dozen jars or more with a mild garlic flavor.
  7. Use a starter culture dissolved in celery juice to speed up the fermentation process and to ensure that your ferment gets packed with essential probiotics.
  8. Make sure the veggies are completely covered with brine and that the brine is all the way to the top of the jar to eliminate trapped air.
  9. Put the lids on the jars loosely, as they will expand due to the gases produced in fermentation.
  10. Don’t eat out of the jar to prevent contaminating the entire batch with bacteria from your mouth. Always use a clean spoon to take out what you’re eating.

RECIPE: Healthy Homemade Cinnabons

Homemade Real Food Cinnabons


Prep time
Cook time
Total time
 
Author:
Serves: 8
Ingredients
Dough
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • ¼ cup tapioca flour or (I used ground flax seed instead, because I didn't have any tapioca)
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons arrowroot flour
  • 6 tablespoons coconut flour, plus 1 tablespoon for sprinkling
  • 1¼ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon Celtic sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Spice Swirl
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon Celtic sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Icing
  • ½ cup coconut butter
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey (I used maple syrup)
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and adjust the rack to the middle position. Using a pastry brush, coat a 9-inch cake pan with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter.
  2. To make the spice swirl, combine the coconut sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is damp. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, arrowroot flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and coconut sugar. In a measuring glass, whisk together the coconut milk, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a rough dough forms. Let the dough sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle a bit of coconut flour onto a clean work surface. Place the dough on the surface and gently press it into a 12 x 9-inch rectangle. Using a pastry brush, brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Pour the spice swirl mixture over the dough and gently spread it in an even layer. Carefully roll the dough into a 12-inch log (I like to use a bench scaler to lift the dough from the surface). Cut the dough into 8 even pieces. Place the pieces swirl side up in the buttered cake pan and gently press to flatten them to about 1 inch thick. Brush the rolls with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
  6. To make the icing, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine the coconut butter, honey, vanilla, and ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons water. Whisk until the icing is a warm, smooth glaze. Drizzle the icing over the rolls. Serve warm.
