    Default The Corbett Report... Jon Rappoport on The Truth About the Zika Virus: 5 Feb 2016

    This is worth a separate thread I think and can be added to the larger thread
    later as if I post it straight there only a few will see it. Jon compares this outbreak
    to the swine flu epidemic and the over estimation of cases and potential victims.
    Basically scare mongering for various reasons and agendas.


    The Truth About the Zika Virus: Jon Rappoport on The Corbett Report



    Published on 5 Feb 2016


    SHOW NOTES AND MP3: https://www.corbettreport.com/?p=17750

    You may have heard of the wave of birth defects that is ravaging Latin America as
    the globe gears up for another pandemic panic. But do you know how many of
    those cases of microcephaly have been confirmed? Or how many of those
    confirmed cases are said to be "related to" the Zika virus? Today Jon Rappaport of
    NoMoreFakeNews.com joins us to separate the truth from the hype with the Zika
    virus panic and discuss whether the WHO and the CDC are merely crying wolf yet again.

    Zika: Update From Brazil: Towering Non-Evidence

    By David on 6th February 2016



    ‘I can now provide the latest update on what researchers in Brazil are discovering,
    as they dig into their original findings about the Zika virus and cases of
    microcephaly (babies born with small heads and brain impairment).

    A correspondent has offered a translation of an article that appeared in one of the
    major Sao Paulo newspapers, O Estado de São Paulo, on February 2nd, “País tem
    404 casos confirmados de microcefalia”:

    It is obvious that no significant connection between microcephaly and the Zika virus
    has been found. It’s not even close. So far, therefore, there is absolutely no reason
    to trumpet an epidemic of Zika. Doing so is quite insane, by any reasonable
    standard.’

    On Cue: In The Midst Of Zika Psyop, Mass Media Rolls Out Multiple Norovirus Stories

    By David on 7th February 2016




    ‘Everyone paying attention by now has probably noticed it’s “virus-scare” season. It’s
    that time of the year when vaccine makers get to market their product to a frightened
    humanity hoping to be “saved” from scary viruses and diseases while they save
    themselves from massive profit losses. Consider that without these virus-scare seasons
    it’s very likely the vaccine industry would be increasingly ignored by the general public
    as the masses slowly become more educated about natural health cures and nutritional
    habits to keep your body and immune system strong. Without these virus and disease
    scares which mark the money-making time of the year for the vaccine industry, they
    would likely be looking at significant profit losses for the overall year. Don’t forget this
    is an industry that, like any other industry, relies on money and profit to survive.
    Therefore, realize first that the winter season is to the vaccine industry what Christmas
    season is to the department stores. It’s a make-or-break time of the year.’

    Genetically Modified Mosquitos and the Zika Virus. The Pentagon’s Synthetic Biology

    By David on 7th February 2016 Medical/Health



    ‘Synthetic biology also appears likely to open up opportunities in the human performance
    modification field through the potential to make regulatory molecules in laboratories or,
    more directly, inside the body. For example, bacteria that live in the human digestive
    system already convert food into neurotransmitters and other molecules that influence
    performance; by engineering these organisms to sense the levels of compounds in the
    body and to supplement or counteract them when needed, it may be possible to enhance
    physical, cognitive, and socioemotional (or interpersonal) performance. -DoD Office of
    Technical Intelligence

    The mainstream media, the public and financiers are agog over the Zika virus (Zika) which
    is wreaking havoc on thousands of families and newborns in the vicinity of Piracicaba,
    Northeast Brazil. Zika cases have already been reported in Texas, Florida and Virginia.’

    Zika Freaka 2: Spraying Plane Cabins, Robot Reporters

    By David on 7th February 2016 Medical/Health, Problem-Reaction-Solution




    Another episode in my ongoing series, Science from Habitual Liars.

    Part 1: the planes

    Bloomberg News, February 4, “U.K. to Spray Planes on Routes From Zika-Affected Countries”:

    The U.K. is to order airlines flying from countries affected by the Zika virus, which has been
    linked with birth defects, to spray insecticide inside plane cabins.

    Step up and get your insecticides right in the face. Board a plane flying out of any “Zika-infected”
    country heading for the UK, and you can inhale toxic fumes in the comfort of your own enclosed
    cabin. Watch any disoriented mosquitoes who might be accompanying your flight drop to the
    carpet, squirm, and die. More entertaining than a movie on that annoying tiny screen. And you
    can experience the thrill of skin-rash, nausea, dizziness, fainting. Hey, pay the ticket, take the ride.
    It’s a party.

    Who knows? Flights out of Texas (where they’ve “discovered” one Zika case) might be next.
    Never underestimate the American penchant for toxic chemicals.’

    Zika: Who Launched The Fake-Epidemic Story In Brazil?

    By David on 9th February 2016




    ‘This is an article that explains a great deal—but, with apologies, it involves a line
    of reasoning, in order to reach a conclusion. That means some readers (not my
    regular readers) may find it odd. Some readers with short attention spans may
    suddenly want to switch to a wrestling show or a shopping network. To them I say:
    give this a try; it does have a payoff; it has its own kind of shock and surprise;
    explosions do go off in the mind; it is like a ten-car pile-up on the interstate in the f
    og, late at night; and there is a very nasty plot.

    Out of nowhere, a month ago, we were told there was an outbreak of microcephaly in
    Brazil: over 4,000 cases of babies born with small heads and brain impairment.’

    Vaccine industry says that children killed by vaccines don't count

    Monday, February 08, 2016 by: S. D. Wells
    Tags: vaccine injury, CDC, propaganda



    ‘Question number one: How many kids have died shortly after getting a vaccine, whether
    the measles, mumps, rubella or even just the flu shot? What is that total statistic?

    Second question: How many kids have actually died from infectious diseases and influenza
    who received inoculation for the very disease or sickness from which they died?

    Third question: Why aren’t vaccine-induced deaths part of those statistics, since the kids
    were injected with the very diseases to which they were supposed to be “100 percent immune?”‘

    CDC-Oxford ‘Death Gene’ Is Key To The Brazilian Babies Riddle

    By David on 9th February 2016



    ‘The mobilization of 500,000 soldiers and public-health workers to spray pesticides across Brazil
    is effectively terminating a controversial British-American biotechnology project that has released
    millions of gene-engineered mosquitoes in a backfired experiment to combat the dengue fever
    virus (DENV). The Oxitec gene-manipulation technique called RIDL (Release of Insects carrying
    a Dominant Lethal) is widely suspected of spreading a new virulent strain of ZIKA virus, and the
    Brazilian outbreak in turn raises fears of a link to microcephaly or reduced brain size in human
    embryos. (Oxitec is a corporate spinoff of Oxford University, even though most of its researchers
    are with less prestigious British schools or from the United States.)

    First of all, this essay explains how the recent cases of Brazilian microcephaly were not caused by
    ZIKA but are instead a “side effect” of the RIDL gene-transfer. The so-called Death Gene blockage,
    using the GATA binding protein, can affect the same gene in human embryos as in the targeted mosquito pupae.’

    Zika is a bust. But it’s accomplished its mission: $1.8 billion in funding, further trial runs of the medical martial law apparatus in another part of the world, and more adulation for the fearless WHO. Join me for today’s thought for the day as we put the Zika hype to rest once and for all (hopefully).

    Psyop Comes To Full Fruition As U.N. Calls For ‘Global Response’ Medical Command Center!

    By David on 10th February 2016 Illuminati Criminals, Medical/Health, Political Manipulation



    ‘To all truth seekers who have been following what I call the Zika virus psyop, you can exhale
    now as the ultimate agenda to this recent engineered virus scare is now clearly appearing to
    come to full fruition for everyone to see.

    With the recent release of a United Nations report titled “Protecting Humanity From Future Health
    Crisis,” the U.N. and the global ruling elite are now declaring themselves to be the ultimate medical
    authority directly responsible for the survival of the human race.

    This shocking report which is a direct reflection of the U.N.’s Agenda 21 assumes many lies that they
    hope the masses will accept blindly. It first plays on the deceptive assumption and lie that there is a
    direct connection between the Zika virus and microcephaly in newborns, which there is not based on
    information freely available to all.’

    Zika: GE Mosquitoes Bite, Deliver Flying Vaccine?

    By David on 10th February 2016



    ‘Zika: the ideal fake epidemic to stir “need” for airborne vaccination:
    “we must do something to stop the spread of the virus.”

    No need to mandate shots: release mosquitoes to deliver them.

    People are discussing whether genetically engineered mosquitoes could
    have spread Zika, the virus that causes nothing. Rather, look to the future,
    when such biting mosquitoes could deliver flying vaccinations against the
    virus that causes nothing.

    In previous articles, I’ve established that the connection between the Zika
    virus and cases of birth defects in Brazil is entirely and utterly unproven.
    It is hype, not science.’

    “cost-of-illness” and focused on things like the cost of treatment and productivity
    losses. This approach found a 16 US dollar return on every one dollar spent. The
    second was the “full-income approach” which looked at the broader economic and
    social benefits of living a longer and healthier life. This approach found a 44-dollar
    return on every one dollar spent. Supply chain, service delivery and vaccine costs
    were all included to determine the prices of vaccinations.

    The study assessed 10 vaccine-preventable infections: Haemophilus influenzae
    type b, hepatitis B, human papillomavirus, Japanese encephalitis, measles, Neisseria
    meningitis serogroup A, rotavirus, rubella, Streptococcus pneumoniae and yellow fever.’

    Man patents natural, non-toxic pesticide that could make many agricultural chemicals obsolete

    By David on 10th February 2016



    ‘Back in 2006, one of the world’s foremost mycologists secured a patent that, once fully developed,
    could shatter the power of the pesticide industry. This would be a major setback not just for
    manufacturers of chemical poisons like Dow, but also for companies like Monsanto that genetically
    modify crops to produce the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) pesticide in their tissues.

    In a nutshell, mycologist and permaculture advocate Paul Stamets has discovered a chemical-free
    method to trick insects into gathering, stockpiling and eating insect-killing (entomopathogenic) fungi,
    which then take over their bodies and devour them.

    Although only 1 to 5 percent of the world’s one million identified insect species are considered pests,
    an enormous industry has grown up around using chemicals to poison them. These poisons have
    wreaked havoc on the health of humans, animals and entire ecosystems.’

    Zika: What Went Wrong With The Mosquitoes?



    By Catherine Frompovich

    ‘How many readers know that there was an English (UK)-American (USA) biology
    technology project regarding the release of bioengineered mosquitoes to “fight”
    dengue fever in tropical countries? And, that the gene manipulation project called
    “Release of Insects carrying a Dominant Lethal” (RIDL) apparently is now backfiring?
    Could it involve the Zika virus?

    The ‘actors’ include: 1) genetically-modified mosquitoes; 2) Oxitec, a spinoff of Oxford
    University; 3) an apparent new virulent strain of Zika virus; and 4) microcephalatic babies.

    The most unfortunate aspect of technology gone off the rails—mosquito bioengineering
    —apparently resulted in the “Death Gene” blockage, using the GATA binding protein, has
    affected the same gene in human embryos as is targeted in mosquito pupae! [1] If that
    truly is the scientific snafu—deliberate or accidental—then some heads at various levels
    need to roll, figuratively speaking. Who will be made accountable for such a horrendous
    technological horror impacting innocent babies, the future of humankind?’

    Zika: The Gene-Editing Fix That Will Blow You Away

    BITACORA-ZIKA-2‘A controversial genetic technology able to wipe out the mosquito
    carrying the Zika virus will be available within months, scientists say.

    The technology, called a ‘gene drive,’ was demonstrated only last year in yeast
    cells, fruit flies, and a species of mosquito that transmits malaria. It uses the gene-
    snipping technology CRISPR to force a genetic change to spread through a
    population as it reproduces.

    Three U.S. labs that handle mosquitoes, two in California and one in Virginia, say
    they are already working toward a gene drive for Aedes aegypti, the type of
    mosquito blamed for spreading Zika. If deployed, the technology could theoretically
    drive the species to extinction.’
