Vaccine Adjuvant Triggers “Army of Immune System Cells Ready to Attack a Child’s Brain”

Article from Virutron Research.

More doctors have come forward to expose the multiple risks associated with vaccine toxicity and the ethical question of vaccination itself. Some of these doctors have offsprings that are themselves suffering from the effects of vaccination. Below is Edward F. Fogarty, MD‘s experience with vaccines.

PHILOSOPHICAL EXEMPTIONS AS BEHAVIORAL ECONOMIC SIGNALS OF FRAUD
An Open Letter from Edward F. Fogarty, MD

I am a practicing physician with multiple state licenses who has had the privilege of being the Chairman of Radiology at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine for the last 12 years. My pathways of understanding many issues in medicine and law have dovetailed over understandings of fraud in science and medicine. I am associated with a large network of attorneys and physicians who have the best intentions of employing whistleblower statutes and legal leverage where possible to alert our fellow citizens of Federal and State Fraud, Waste and Abuse practices.

Additionally, for full disclosure of a personal understanding of “ethical vaccinomics” issues, I have a son named Riley who was born 16 years ago today and has severe autism. From a metals detoxification standpoint, Riley has an epigenetic risk of neuroimmunologic and neurodevelopmental problems related to metals handling in his body due to Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase genes. Riley has 2 different alleles coding for 2 different protein sequences that are slower methylators than the wild type (normal) MTHFR genes.

From an overview perspective of medicine by way of interacting with every specialty in multiple states, my profession of medical imaging has a unique observational role and its practitioners a unique voice in medical ethics and public health. The profession of radiology relies on a primary principle of ALARA in the protection of public health. This is especially relevant on a developmental continuum in pediatric radiology. This acronym stands for As Low As Reasonably Achievable.

At its core, the ALARA concept imparts the understanding that we should strive to reduce the dose of toxins in our practice of medicine to achieve the therapeutic goals of Interventional Radiology or the goals of Diagnostic Imaging for our colleagues tracking disease via the most advanced machines of modern physics in medicine.

Whether those toxins are purely waveforms, or a mix of waveforms from injected metals (radioisotopes), or a non-radioactive metal such as gadolinium, we must always strive to protect our patients from this genetic and immunologically harmful substances under our Hippocratic Oath.

There are obvious parallels between my pediatric radiology practice and that of general pediatricians with regards to the ALARA ethical principles. These ethical principles transcend state, national and international law. These ethical principles apply to the approaches we should use in philosophical exemptions from any form of mandated medicine by government, especially those heavily influenced by corporations.

Increasingly, vaccine injuries are being diagnosed by the world’s radiology community. The well characterized Autoimmune Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants (ASIA) is often documented in MRI images as Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA). This has resulted in the occupational disability of many healthcare workers around the nation in recent years with the push for 100% compliance in healthcare for the use of influenza vaccines.

This is not only a costly loss of worker productivity, influenza vaccines are a yearly unethical experiment because of the lack of any safety studies on these medical products. Influenza vaccines are distributed within weeks of their development and have repeatedly been found contaminated aftermarket release in the last 20 years. Our national healthcare security through the workforce of physicians, nurses, laboratory and radiology technologists is placed at risk for political espionage even as more vaccines are manufactured in jurisdictions that could use these products as Trojan horses for slow viruses or prions. Epidemiologically, my colleagues in public health, Neurology or Infectious Disease will need years and many exposures to identify a signal if such covert biological warfare is occurring even now.

As an academic physician and multi-state practitioner of radiology working with some of our nation’s researchers in search of answers to the acute neurological crises impacting our country, I have published several neuroimaging statistical analyses of brain injury from metals linked through TBI and dementia. These clinical entities respond to Hyperbaric Medical interventions and have known associations to iron and aluminum exposures to the brain.

My expert witness role in medico-legal venues has also brought forth cases of extrinsically triggered encephalomyelitis temporally related to vaccine administration in previously healthy infants, grade schoolers and high schoolers. These children often have a genetic predisposition to immunologically mediated injuries by poor metal detoxification genetics in methylation and sulfation genes. In some instances, the indiscriminate practice of injecting adjuvants into the wrong tissues such as occurs with SIRVA leads to autoimmunity that does not have an inherent genetic risk signature—these adjuvants can be deposited directly against nerve tissues similar to the joint capsule collagen in SIRVA and cross react with the surface proteins, creating an army of immune system cells ready to attack a child’s own brain.

Bioinformatics involving the study of molecular genetics and homologies or divergences of sequences are a complex subject. My son’s condition rests on the complex interplay of variant genes with the environment. Ironically, my molecular genetics research project at the University of Chicago as an undergraduate exploited the homologies of mice and humans in the sequencing of intermediate filaments by using a cross-species primer hybridization technique to reduce costs and speed the process of sequencing the mouse Keratin 14 gene in the laboratory of Elaine Fuchs, PhD. Mouse models for gene knockout technology or immunologic modeling of human disease are extremely important to our understanding of complex immunological and epigenetic interactions leading to disease.

Our nation’s scientists have long used a mouse model of encephalitis by mixing vaccines with neural tissues from one ground-up mouse brain which is then injected into a living mouse by lumbar puncture techniques; my practice in Interventional radiology includes lumbar punctures in children with suspected meningitis. By this crude adjuvant/antigen complex we can produce an accurate model of acute encephalomyelitis. ADEM in humans is a known listed side effect of vaccination.

One additional insight from the world of animals in the interaction of vaccines with neurological function involves my colleagues who hold the degree of DVM. The veterinary community has a term for failure to thrive after vaccination in young mammals—their profession’s word for this is vaccinosis. Yet this term is never found in the human medical literature.

Mild recurrent encephalitis from trauma with iron is being defined as CTE in our athletes and on MRIs with specific sequences (SWI), capturing the virtual history of this recurrent chronic encephalitis by medical imaging techniques recoding iron/hemosiderin deposits. It is no stretch to suggest that autism in some children may be a complex metals detoxification impairment syndrome from stepwise recurrent encephalitis. This relates to a myriad of environmental toxins such as lead, mercury and aluminum as well as cytokine stimulus from viral illnesses, some being proprietary live infections from a corporation named Merck. Basic immunology and periodic table politics aside, would you as a legislator mandate YOUR OWN participation in a marketplace that has no liability for its products? There is no liability for these products and thus the best real economic mechanism we have left to discern fraud is consumer choice.

Recently, one of my esteemed academic colleagues named Andrew Zimmerman, MD released an affidavit regarding the cover-up of the link between autism and vaccines that has had profound impacts on the children and families of America. I will not go into the full details, however I encourage you to learn more about this serious and frankly criminal suppression of the truth by those in government who do not have brain-injured American children and their families interests’ in mind as their sworn “officers of the court” duties might imply. Legal malpractice has clearly occurred here, resulting in the institutionalized denial of any association between brain injury and vaccination. The irony of the 1986 Childhood Vaccine protection Act is that the law was put into play to protect the vaccine companies from bankruptcy due to product safety issues.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaimed by the UN 12/10/48 and other succeeding international declarations rights to healthcare did not foresee the fraudulent racketeering of the profession of medicine. These charters and proclamations did vow the protection of individuals against state mandated procedures. They still stand as guideposts to why the children of the state of Washington and their families should have the continued ability to opt out of one, some, or even all of the recommended childhood vaccines because the industry has not been transparent with its safety records.

We do not have the ability to easily understand who is at risk of vaccine injury in children, especially our newborns, we pour billions into individualized care of the legislative-age crowd on pharmacogenomic safety studies so that products like Vioxx do not destroy lives of our learned elders. As we have never done anything of the sort in public health and policy for our most developmentally and eugenically vulnerable wildcards of mixed genes in American families, we practice tacit genetic discrimination in the access to public education. Our school budgets are skyrocketing on the increasing numbers of special needs children.

One of the more honest barometers of the neurological health and well-being of our children are these special needs budgets. These committed resources were a miniscule part of major city educational budgets in cities such as Seattle and my hometown of Omaha in the 1970s. I have cousins who grew up in Omaha and are now teachers in Washington. The budgetary canaries-in-the-coal-mine keep pointing to an environmental disaster occurring in our children. This complex environmental stress environment upon our youngest generation has many inputs outside of medicine, but again by ALARA principle, why not investigate better timing of vaccine product innovations for those who continue to choose vaccinations for their children as my family has. The epigenetic influences and stresses on our children are also hitting our elderly with accelerating dementia prevalence and incidence.

What is next in this microenvironmental pollution of our national bloodstreams and vessels of terrestrial seawater capable of ambulation? Will you as legislators upon hearing of the research accumulating in the world’s literature on the acceleration of dementia via aluminum and mercury in the various routes of bodily entry, begin to defend your own right to choose to avoid metals intoxicants to your brain before congregating in the state capitol? Please recognize my home state of North Dakota and my tax dollars have come into play to help your state with an innocuous measles outbreak that can be treated with high dose vitamin A.

Additionally, the root of the behavioral economics problems of marketing vaccines in this day are directly related to smart parents understanding some of the issues of graft in government as well as overt scientific fraud. There are many MDs, PhDs, DVMs, RNs, NPs, JDs, and other professional parents who vaccinated their children as my spouse and I did on schedule only to find all these criminal conundrums after we saw our children fall off a metal-induced immunologically eroded cliff of neurodevelopmental delay.

If removing philosophical exemptions to participation in fraudulent unregulated markets are what your collective actions bring to bear in your state, you may find liabilities that you did not anticipate. I can say this without reservation, the most pervasive molecular crime against humanity in the last 20 years has been the use of aluminum injections on day one of life which have no medical indication. Diagnostic medicine has long ago marked the crime of medical assault on American babies whose mothers’ obstetric laboratory panels have shown millions of times over that they are delivering antibodies against the Hep B vaccine itself to their fetuses. There is no medical indication for a vaccine on day one of life outside of active infection of the mother. The rest of my colleagues in medicine would be sued or lose their license for serial billing of the state or insurance companies on completely worthless un-indicated interventions like Hep B on day one, or for that matter, at 2 months of life.

The State Auditor of North Dakota and I have met to expose wasteful practices like this in medicine to prevent our Great State from paying such fraudulent Medicaid claims. No medical indication, no medicaid funding—simple.

With growing whistleblower cases coming out of the woodwork in scientific fraud are you really ready to cast this lot towards your constituents’ children and families. The U.S. Department of Justice has a case against Merck in Pennsylvania for the scandalous corporate racketeering of scientists that were told to spike the data for mumps to pass the bar of 95% efficacy, ostensibly so that Merck would not lose the monopoly on MMR in this country. I believe you can all see now that the only check and balance in the system against fraud in vaccine science is a public consumer (parents) becoming aware within our nation discourse regarding these issues. Please hold the line on the philosophical exceptions for the greater good of Washington’s political well-being. Forcing your youngest citizens to participate in a fraud and racketeering scheme is a violation of basic human rights. We first need ethical corporate leadership in the vaccine industry before we can trust our genetically-disabled to the gross negligence of entire generations of humans being treated like cattle.

Thank you for your time and attention, may the wisdom of the great decision makers of history help you discern the best for your state regarding philosophical exemptions.

Sincerely,

Dr. Edward F. Fogarty, Illinois, 2/20/19

On Vaccine Adjuvants

There are no clinically approved (aluminium) adjuvants.

There are only clinically approved "vaccines".

In late 2018, Dr. Chris Exley, Professor in Bioinorganic Chemistry at Keele University, discussed his views on vaccine adjuvants' questionable safety:

https://vimeo.com/317531401

Here is my summary, including some excerpts from Exley's speech:

Adjuvants have not undergone any sort of safety trial beforehand. The safety of adjuvants is established alongside the safety of vaccines, in other words, no specific safety testing is done on key components of the vaccine such as the adjuvants.

So, why are aluminium adjuvants used as placebos in vaccine safety trials?

"In fact, so-called 'safety trials' for aluminium adjuvants occur with the vaccine, so the safety of the adjuvant is established alongside the vaccine. So, in other words, a vaccine that has an aluminium adjuvant goes through an - inverted commas - 'safety trial'."

Adjuvants do not undergo specific safety trials, and the conditions for an entire vaccine to be safe are loose to say the least.

Aluminium adjuvants are included in placebos in vaccine safety trials. "Placebo" means "do no harm" — this means aluminium adjuvants are assumed to do no harm in safety trials, without any evidence they have actually been properly tested to prove such an assertion.

Exley states that he wrote a letter detailing his concerns to a leading medical journal:

"I wrote a letter to one of the leading journals exactly on this a while ago, pointing out: 'why are we using something which does and is known to produce harm as a placebo in vaccine safety trials?'. The journal had no problem publishing the letter, but did it change anything in the world of vaccine safety trials? Absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing."

Adjuvants are inherently toxic, that's part of their purpose.

Adjuvants are supposed to stimulate the immune system to get it to produce antibodies, at the point of injection you get a little red mark; an inflammatory response has occurred. That's toxicity.

If this toxicity was only at the injection site, none of us would worry about vaccines - but is that what we are seeing in recipients of these vaccines? Is a contained, controlled inflammation and immune response really what is happening? Or do the problems run deeper than meets the eye?

Exley has developed a way to identify aluminium in a cell or human tissue such as the brain.

Studying how adjuvant aluminium is distributed throughout the human body, Dr. Exley has used laboratory testing to find where the aluminium salts end up in the body.

From about 13:30 in the video, Exley states that an aluminium-identifying "orange fluorescence" is the colour that comes up in his studies in affected human cells and tissue.

Exposing human cells to a common aluminum adjuvant called "Alhydrogel", showed how the aluminium was taken up inside the cells on the presentation images displayed by Exley.

"They load up on the adjuvant. They (the cells) fill their cytoplasm with it."

If you put adjuvants exclusively in the "placebo" then subtract it from the "vaccine" you have a "safe vaccine".

Putin: No Independent Countries Left

Europe can’t oppose the US deployment of missiles, even if it is contrary to their interests, because no country can be truly independent these days, Vladimir Putin believes.

The Russian president thinks “the modern world is the world of interdependency” and there are no truly independent countries these days.

“Do you think European countries want missiles in Europe? Nobody wants it. But they keep silent. Where is their sovereignty?” Putin asked during his recent visit in Sochi.

The EU Parliament, he said, makes more decisions on behalf of the member countries than “the Supreme Soviet of USSR on behalf of constituent republics” back in the days.

This is especially echoed in the recent Venezuela troubles, in which most of the EU caved to the US interests in regime change; only Italy vetoed the EU recognition of the Venezuelan puppet opposition leader Guaido with Russia, China, Turkey and Iran saying they see Maduro as the only legitimate leader, warning against meddling in Venezuela’s domestic affairs.

There are no fully independent states in the world.

On Thursday leaders from Russia, Turkey and Iran gathered in the Black Sea city of Sochi to discuss ways of ending Syria’s crisis. The talks were held amid hostile talk emerging from a meeting of the US and its allies in Warsaw, where they talked about their take on the Middle East.

During the meeting in Sochi, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani expressed doubts over Washington’s plan to remove troops stationed with Kurdish forces in northern Syria. But Putin seemed to be the most optimistic that the move would actually happen soon.

After the summit on Syria ended, Putin stayed on in Sochi to hold talks with Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko concerning the supranational union of the two nations among other topics following the looming threat of the US-EU's creeping soft and hard powers - including its brooding missile emplacements that are, according to the US, "aimed at Iran".

 

Italy & Hungary: Taking Back Control

Recent populist moves by Hungary's Viktor Orbán and Italy's Matteo Salvini have widened the rift between their nations and transnational EU policies.

• Orbán has passed a law permitting families with four or more children to be exempt from income tax for life:

This new tax incentive is a clear pro-white move to boost the native Hungarian population, such a powerful incentive is proof that mass migration is not necessary to replenish a declining population.

Orbán stated that “they (the EU) want as many migrants to enter as there are missing kids, so that the numbers will add up. We Hungarians have a different way of thinking. Instead of just numbers, we want Hungarian children. Migration for us is surrender.” Orbán also called for anti-migration politicians to take over the EU, as he recently hailed a new partnership between Poland’s right wing government and Italy’s populist interior minister, Matteo Salvini.

• Salvini has called for central banking in Italy to be audited and "reduced to zero":

Salvini has called for wresting control of Italy's sizeable gold reserves away from the country's central bank in a series of threats to the independence of the Bank of Italy by Rome's populist coalition.

He said the Bank of Italy and Consob, the country’s stock market regulator, should be "reduced to zero, more than changing one or two people, reduced to zero" or in other words eliminated, and that “fraudsters” who inflicted losses on Italian savers should "end up in prison for a long time."

Meanwhile, ECB head Mario Draghi, an Italian and former former governor of the Bank of Italy, last year warned that central bank independence was under threat by populist governments, while not making a direct reference to Italy. Should Salvini cement his de facto Italian leadership in upcoming elections, it would make life for the local central bank especially complicated.

Recently, the government nominated Paolo Savona, a veteran economist and prominent Eurosceptic who had previously served as minister for European affairs, as the new president of Consob. Savona was last year been blocked as the coalition’s first choice as economy minister by Italian president Sergio Mattarella, following strong pressure from Brussels and a revolt in the Italian bond market.

Widespread Iodine Deficiency Is Lowering IQ

A widespread lack of gestational iodine absorption is responsible for fewer folds (gyrification) in the developing fetal brain.

Iodine is an essential micro-nutrient that is detected in every organ and tissue. It helps alkalize your body's pH, provides your thyroid with the necessary nutrients to produce thyroid hormones, protects against cancer, and is a natural antibacterial agent.

There is a large body of evidence suggesting that low cancer rates in Japan are a result of their substantially higher dietary iodine levels. Iodine has documented antioxidant and anti-proliferative properties.

Iodine's role in gyrification affects the cerebral hemisphere, which is divided into four lobes by sulci and gyri. The sulci (or fissures) are the grooves and the gyri are the "bumps" that can be seen on the surface of the brain. The folding created by the sulci and gyri increases the amount of cerebral cortex that can fit in the skull. This is a developmental process that is a major determiner of a person's potential IQ (intelligence quotient). Fewer folds; less brain matter.

Competing halogens such as bromine, chlorine and fluorine are elected in the absence of iodine; their presence hinders the formation of folds in the developing brain.

Iodine is key to fetal brain development.

These folds are determined in-utero by transplacental thyroxine from the mother. Thyroxine is a brain development hormone made by the thyroid, also known as T4, tetraiodothyronine, or thyroxin, it is principally partially composed of iodine.

A fluoridated, brominated, or chloridated thyroid hormone is an inferior grade hormone, and will not be as effective.

A study has stated that the level of iodine nutrition plays a crucial role in the intellectual development of children. The intelligence damage of children exposed to severe iodine deficiency was profound, demonstrated by 12.45 IQ points loss.

They recovered 8.7 IQ points with maternal iodine supplementation before and during pregnancy. It was found that iodine supplementation before and during pregnancy for women living in severe iodine deficient areas could prevent their children from having an intelligence deficit.

Iodine deficiency affects adults too.

Iodine deficiency also damages adult brains. Even a small deficiency can lower your IQ by up to 15 points.

What you can do.

Start supplementing iodine and (optionally) its main absorption agent, magnesium, ideally taken transdermally (through the skin as a cream).

12.5 mg up to 50 mg of iodine per day is a desirable target, but due to the high levels of environmental halogens, it may be advisable to take more.

• Lugol's iodine or nascent iodine are reliable supplements, as are dietary sources such as seaweed, oysters, eggs, cod, dairy, iodized salt, shrimp, and prunes. Please note that most food crops are grown in soil already deficient of iodine. Some foods (like bread) can have bromine added, which competitively inhibits iodine.


• Chlorinated and fluoridated water should be avoided if possible.


• Bromine: found in pesticides, plastics, some bakery goods, soda, medications, fire retardants, and bromine-based hot tub and swimming pool treatments, ought to be avoided.


• Fluoridated toothpaste and tap water is a big culprit in lowering IQ by competing with iodine in the body as well as having its own toxic effects.

Venezuela: US-backed Coup Underway

The attempt to dethrone President Nicolás Maduro has not come out of the blue. Since Maduro became president after the death of Chávez in 2013, the US has resolutely aimed at a regime change.

This is a chain of events totally misrepresented by the western mainstream media, as usual.

The US has tried to persuade parts of the Venezuelan army to turn against Maduro, but without any result so far. That is why Washington relies first and foremost on the internal opposition and on diplomatic pressure.

The US gives assistance to the political opposition and tries to unite it as much as possible. According to the color revolution handbook, NGOs, student organizations and local organizations are funded, trained and coached to organize street riots as effectively as possible. The street violence must destabilize the country to such an extent that the government is forced to resign, or that the army intervenes and deposes the government.

Since 2013, the opposition twice unleashed a cycle of large-scale violence. In 2014, 43 people were killed and 800 injured. In 2017, 131 people died.

In the meantime, the economic situation deteriorated very much. This was mainly the result of an economic model that is extremely dependent on oil prices, but also of an outright economic warfare against the regime.

They lied about Iran. They lied about Vietnam. They lied about Chile. They lied about Iraq. They lied about Afghanistan. They lied about Iraq again. They lied about Libya. They lied about Syria. But yeah, sure, this time (with Venezuela) it's for a good cause (it's not).

Venezuela holds sway over a considerable supply of global oil, thus having the ability to influence its price of what is termed "black gold". In 2017 Venezuela was the seventh largest oil exporter in OPEC, accounting for 6.4% of OPEC's crude oil exports.

The oil price drop of 2015 which affected Venezuela was a global phenomenon.

Since the formation of OPEC in the 1970s, the Saudi Kingdom has been able to use its immense reserves to undermine other oil-producing countries' attempts to maintain a high and stable price for petroleum. Even if all these nations were to ally, the Saudi Kingdom can turn the tap up or down and change the entire global economy to benefit its own geopolitical agenda and that of its U.S. patron. It did so in the late 1970s to offset lowered production in Iran after the 1979 revolution. And it did so again in 2015, partly in response to the success of the Iran-U.S. nuclear deal. It's not a perfect mechanism; the price drop hurt the Saudi economy before prices slowly climbed anew. But the most severe effects were felt by the United States' designated enemies: Russia, Iran and Venezuela.

Weaponized oil prices are a useful tool in globalist conquest, one piece on the chessboard worth holding. But President Maduro seems to be immune to the temptation of the western bribe or its callous threats.

Now he will have to stand the test of an offer he perhaps cannot refuse; the embargoes and bloodshed that have and will continue to befall his nation for his "lack of cooperation". This is, as Russia states, a "direct path to bloodshed". This prophesy is quickly becoming true as Maduro has called for the expansion of armed civilian militias as the threat of more violence on the streets of Caracas continues to grow. The militias, created by deceased former president Hugo Chávez to resist “imperialist aggression,” currently consist of about 100,000 members. Maduro’s proposed expansion of the civilian force would increase its size to 500,000.

Furthermore, up to 400 Russian military contractors are in Venezuela to beef-up security for Maduro, according to reports.

Maduro’s announcement was accompanied by a rousing speech in which he called upon Venezuelans to decide if they are “with the homeland” or against it, adding that “now is not the time to hesitate.”

A lengthy western media onslaught has pinned Venezuela's economic troubles on Maduro's regime; ignoring western trade embargoes entirely, not to mention the geopolitical significance of Venezuela's oil supply and its closeness to Russia and China. It is in imperialist interests to subjugate Venezuela.

If the opposition does ultimately capture the presidency, the best-case scenario is that Venezuela adopts the ruinous austerity policies of Macri's Argentina or Temer's Brazil. The worst-case scenario could look something like the U.S.-led occupation of Haiti, with the country's oil industry turned over to the multinationals, like Iraq's was more than a decade ago.

Juan Guaidó: the western choice for regime change in Venezuela.

Maduro says Venezuela is "the victim of a US conspiracy," referring to reports that US Vice President Mike Pence promised Guaido full American support the day before he declared himself Venezuela's new leader. An act of unabashed interference and sponsorship in foreign elections.

Maduro has spoken at length on the situation:

"This is the reason for the coup. They don't want us to get better. They sabotage us and try to destroy the (Venezuelan) economic system."

"We will continue denouncing US lies, and I will continue to encourage national dialogue because I am up for a dialogue with all the political opposition, with the opposition media," he said. "I think dialogue should prevail. I believe in dialogue."

Guaidó is the thirty-five-year-old president of Parliament. He is very close toLeopoldo López, with whom he is in daily contact, despite his house arrest. Together they founded the right-wing party Voluntad Popular. In the past, this party organised armed pickets that killed people, set fire to public buildings and hospitals, led to attacks on ministries, etc.

Strengthened by Trump’s backing, the opposition took to the streets the same day with the aim of ousting President Maduro and forming a provisional government. Amnesty was promised to the military who would defect. Six days later, on 21 January, some rebellious soldiers posted a video message online in which they declared themselves loyal to the opposition leader.

Tensions increased. On 22 January, Mike Pence, vice president of the US, posted a video message calling on Venezuelans to take to the streets and get rid of Maduro. One day later, the opposition did what Pence asked, they massively took to the streets. There were also large counter-demonstrations by supporters of the government. Guaidó proclaimed himself the new president. He was immediately recognized by the governments of the US, Brazil and Canada, among others. Russia, China, Turkey and Mexico, a large and important country in the region, continue to recognize Maduro. Europe takes a cautious and moderate position.

The situation as it unfolds.

It is unlikely that the recognition of Guaidó by the US and some other countries will bring down President Maduro. But it may lead to further destabilisation of the country. The White House has opted for the strategy of chaos, as it has already done in so many other places.

The recognition of Guaidó will give the opposition a boost. If Guaidó is not allowed to hold the presidency, this may lead to more economic sanctions. The US is currently considering a ban on oil imports. This would have serious consequences for Venezuela’s financial position and would further reduce oil production.

An increasing number of recognitions of Guiadó as president will make it more likely that more countries will adopt economic sanctions against Venezuela. Threatening sanctions, stronger opposition and increasing violence will intensify the pressure on military officers and the PSUV top, in the hope that they will eventually change camps.

At the moment a foreign military intervention is unlikely, even with escalating violence. But in the past Trump has not ruled out such an intervention. With the recent election of the belligerent Bolsonaro, such an intervention could possibly be outsourced by the US to Brazil, together with Colombia, Peru and other countries in the region.

In any case, the interference in the domestic affairs of a sovereign country that the US is exhibiting today is unashamed and unprecedented. It violates the most elementary principles of the United Nations.

The deadlock in Venezuela can only be resolved through national dialogue. Maduro, for his part, is in favor of calling for a dialogue, directed to the country as a whole by the governments of Uruguay and Mexico. Any foreign interference or pressure will only add fuel to the flames.

DNA Co-Discoverer James Watson's Honours Stripped Over His Factual Comments On Race

The Nobel Prize winning co-discoverer of DNA, molecular biologist, geneticist and zoologist James Watson has been stripped of his honours over his scientifically informed comments on the genetic IQ differences between the races.

In January 2019, following the broadcast of a PBS television documentary which was filmed last summer in which Watson repeated his long-held views on race and genetics, the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory revoked honorary titles that it had awarded to him, and cut all remaining ties with him.

This is the state of science in the Western world.

The now 90-year-old, who was conveniently targeted in a smear campaign at an opportune moment; is currently in a nursing home recovering from a car accident that happened last October, and is sadly said to have "very minimal" awareness of his surroundings.

His family stated that he is unable to reply due to his condition. This is not a man who can readily defend himself and the scientific basis of his views, he is physically not able to fulfill his right of reply. 

Therefore, it is the responsibility of other intellectuals and other public figures and the public alike to come forward and defend Mr. Watson's reputation in the face of the liberal "scientific" establishment and ongoing media campaign to discredit him — despite his monumental achievements and utter credibility in the field of genetics, from which his comments stemmed.

In the new documentary on PBS celebrating his life, an interviewer asks the 90-year-old scientist if, given the backlash he suffered after his comments about race and intelligence, his views had changed.

His answer leaves no room for uncertainty:

“No, not at all,” Watson says. 

"There’s a difference on the average between blacks and whites on IQ tests. I would say the difference is genetic.”

He has also previously said that stereotypes associated with racial and ethnic groups have a genetic basis: Jews being intelligent, Chinese being intelligent but not creative because of selection for conformity, and Indians being servile.

His informed stance is unwavering, Watson won't budge, stating that his intention was to promote science, not racism:

"I have never thought of myself as a racist. I don't see myself as a racist. I am mortified by it. It was the worst thing in my life."

Despite his protestations, which fell on deaf ears — they want Watson and his public profile scrubbed from all scientific literature and thoroughly vilified, in the midst of a car crash incident, they have gone for the jugular.

On "Anti-Semitism"

Watson has also brilliantly opposed the idea of Jewish exceptionalism. No group ought to be immune to the rigor of open discourse. Another likely reason why the Jewish dominated establishment has decided to discredit him; he dared to be epistemic.

In another interview in 2007, this time with the magazine Esquire, Dr Watson said that “some anti-Semitism is justified”.

“Just like some anti-Irish feeling is justified. If you can’t be criticized, that’s very dangerous. You lose the concept of a free society,” he said.

In the same interview he praised Ashkenazi Jews, suggesting they are more intelligent than other ethnic groups.

Watson is factually correct. But not "politically correct". This is another chapter in the dystopian censorship of our time.
