POLIO VACCINE AS A CURE IS A HOAX

1976, Dr. Jonas Salk, creator of the polio vaccine, said that analysis indicated that the live virus vaccine in use since the 1960's is the principle, if not sole cause of all polio cases since 1961.

1977 (March) Jonas and Darrell Salk AGAIN warned... live virus vaccines produce the same disease.



IN 1976, 1977 THE CREATORS OF THOSE VACCINES THEMSELVES WARNED THAT LIVE VIRUS VACCINES CAUSE THE VERY DISEASE THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO ERADICATE, AND YET, NOT UNTIL 2000 DID THE CDC STOP ADMINISTERING THE ORAL LIVE VIRUS DOSES!

AND THEN, THEY CHANGED THE DIAGNOSIS!
THEY STOPPED ALLOWING ANYONE BUT THE CDC TO SAY WHAT THEY SAW IN PATIENTS WAS POLIO BECAUSE ALL DIAGNOSES OF THE DISEASE FOR OVER A DECADE NOW MUST COME ONLY FROM THE CDC!

THE NEW AND IMPROVED DISEASE WE ONCE CALLED POLIO IS NOW CALLED 
"ACUTE FLACCID PARALYSIS".  AND IT HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND SAME EFFECTS ON HUMANS AS POLIO...BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT IS! 

OTHER NATIONS STILL DIAGNOSE THE ILLNESS CORRECTLY, BUT NOT IN AMERICA, NO SIR!
AMERICA HAS ERADICATED POLIO...BECAUSE (A) IT CHANGED THE CRITERIA FOR DIAGNOSIS AND (B) GAVE IT A NEW NAME AND (C) WON'T ALLOW PHYSICIANS TO DIAGNOSE THEIR OWN PATIENTS WHOM THEY KNOW HAVE POLIO.


JUST CHANGING DIAGNOSIS CRITERIA WIPED OUT 35,000 KNOWN CASES RIGHT HERE IN "POLIO FREE" AMERICA, INSTANTLY!

DOESN'T THAT TELL YOU ALL ANYONE NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THE REAL AGENDA BEHIND VACCINES?

  Abstract
 Polio (poliomyelitis) is a potentially dangerous viral ailment. 
To combat this disease, researchers developed two polio vaccines (inactivated and live) grown in cultures made from monkey kidneys. 

Beginning in the 1950s, these vaccines were administered to millions of people in the United States and throughout the world. 

Officially, the polio vaccine is considered safe and effective, and has been credited with singularly reducing the incidence of this disease. 

These tenets are not supported by the data.

 A cancer-causing monkey virus–SV-40–was discovered in polio vaccines administered to millions of people. 
SV-40 has been found in brain tumors, bone cancers, lung cancers 
and leukemia. 
SV-40 is transmitted through sexual intercourse, and from mother to child in the womb. 

Monkeys that were used to make polio vaccines were infected with simian

immunodeficiency virus (SIV), a virus closely related to human 
immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the infectious agent associated with AIDS. 

Some researchers question whether HIVs may simply be SIVs “residing in and adapting to a human host.” 

Polio vaccines also contain calf serum, glycerol and other parts of the cow that may have been infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE),
or mad 
cow disease, a fatal brain-wasting ailment that some researchers link to Cruetzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), its human equivalent.

 Current disease reduction techniques that emphasize short-term gains over long-term health consequences need to be reevaluated and discontinued while new and safer health paradigms are researched and implemented. 

ONLY THE CDC, NOT A PATIENT'S PHYSICIAN, CAN MAKE THE DIAGNOSIS OF POLIO...AND THE CDC WILL NOT DO THAT!
IT DIAGNOSES POLIO TODAY AS "ACUTE FLACCID PARALYSIS".



LOOK HOW "AFP" CASES HAVE SKYROCKETED SINCE THE CDC STOPPED USING THE DIAGNOSIS "POLIOMYELITIS".

FROM THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE: 

The term acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) is often used to describe a sudden onset, as might be found with polio.
AFP is the most common sign of acute polio, and used for surveillance during polio outbreaks. 
Included in AFP's list are Poliomyelitis (Polio), Transverse myelitis, Guillain-BarrĂ© syndrome, enteroviral encephalopathy,  traumatic neuritis,Reye's syndrome, etc. 
An AFP Surveillance programme is conducted to increase case yield of poliomyelitis. 
This includes collection of 2 stool samples within 14 days of onset of paralysis and identification of virus. 

ALMOST AN ADMISSION THAT AFP IS INDEED SIMPLY POLIO REDEFINED,
FROM THE OXFORD JOURNAL: 

"Differential Diagnosis of Acute Flaccid Paralysis and Its Role in PoliomyelitisSurveillance.

Because poliomyelitis is on the verge of eradication,
accurate surveillance for AFP must be intensified. 

The global incidence rate of nonpolio AFP would be expected to

be 1 per 100,000 among children under 15 years of age
under conditions of optimal surveillance with complete case
ascertainment.
Achieving and maintaining this detection
rate is considered the most sensitive performance criterion
for any AFP surveillance system. "

READ THE FOLLOWING FROM THE CDC WEBSITE CAREFULLY...
"To eliminate the risk of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP), as of January 1, 2000, OPV was no longer recommended for routine immunization in the United States. 

However, OPV continues to be used in the countries where polio is endemic or the risk

of importation and transmission is high. 


OPV is recommended for global polio eradication activities in polio-endemic countries due to its advantages over IPV 

in providing intestinal immunity 
and providing secondary spread of the vaccine to unprotected contacts."

LET THAT SINK IN...THEY ADMIT THE LIVE OPV VACCINE CAUSES POLIO...BUT IT'S OKAY TO GIVE IT TO THIRD WORLD AND OTHER NATIONS...TO HELP "PROVIDE SECONDARY SPREAD OF THE VACCINE TO UNPROTECTED CONTACTS"...???


AND THE RISKS, FROM EVEN THE "INACTIVATED VACCINE"?

"
Polio vaccine side-effects : The vaccine used today has never been known to cause any serious problems, and most people don’t have any problems at all with it.


However, a vaccine, like any medicine,

could cause serious problems, 
such as a severe allergic reaction
 or even death. "

WHO (WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION) defines AFP syndrome as "characterised by rapid onset of weakness of an individual's extremities, often including weakness of the muscles of respiration and swallowing, progressing to maximum severity within 1-10 days. The term 'flaccid' indicates the absence of spasticity or other signs of disordered central nervous system (CNS) motor tracts such as hyperflexia, clonus, or extensor plantar responses" (World Health Organization 1993 WHO/MNH/EPI/93.3. Geneva)

HOW DOES "WHO" DEFINE POLIO?

"Initial symptoms of polio include fever, fatigue, headache, vomiting, stiffness in the neck, and pain in the limbs. 
In a small proportion of cases, the disease causes paralysis, which is often permanent. 

There is no cure for polio, it can only be prevented by immunization." 


THAT "DIAGNOSIS CRITERIA" SURELY FAILS...THOSE 'SYMPTOMS' COULD APPLY TO INFLUENZA OR SEVERAL OTHER ILLNESSES.
AND THAT LAST SENTENCE IS A BLATANT LIE! 

THE CURE FOR POLIO COULD NOT BE SIMPLER AND WAS WELL KNOWN HALF A CENTURY AGO!

“Some physicians would stand by and see their patient die rather than use ascorbic acid because in their finite minds it exists only as a vitamin.” (F. R. Klenner, MD)

The sound barrier was broken in 1947. The Korean War began in 1950. 

In between was the polio epidemic of 1948-9, during which Dr. Frederick Robert Klenner cured every polio case he saw by using vitamin C.

VITAMIN C AGAINST POLIO

Claus W. Jungeblut (1) had the initial idea; William J. McCormick (2) was an early proponent of frequent gram-sized doses. But it was Frederick Robert Klenner who first gave polio patients tens of thousands of milligrams of vitamin C per day. He had been doing so since before D-Day.

“From 1943 through 1947,” writes Robert Landwehr (3), “Dr. Klenner reported successful treatment of 41 more cases of viral pneumonia using massive doses of vitamin C. From these cases he learned what dosage and route of administration - intravenously, intramuscularly, or orally - was best for each patient. Dr. Klenner gave these details in a February 1948 paper published in the Journal of Southern Medicine and Surgery entitled ‘Virus Pneumonia and Its Treatment with Vitamin C.’ (4) This article was the first of Dr. Klenner’s twenty-eight (through 1974) scientific publications.” 

“When I first came across Klenner’s work on polio patients,” writes Thomas Levy, “I was absolutely amazed and even a bit overwhelmed at what I read. . . To know that polio had been easily cured and so many babies, children, and some adults still continued to die or survive to be permanently crippled by this virus was extremely difficult to accept. . . Even more incredibly, Klenner briefly presented a summarization of his work on polio at the Annual Session of the American Medical Association on June 10, 1949 in Atlantic CityNew Jersey:

‘It might be interesting to learn how poliomyelitis was treated in ReidsvilleN.C., during the 1948 epidemic.
 In the past seven years, virus infections have been treated and cured in a period of seventy-two hours by the employment of massive frequent injections of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C. 
I believe that if vitamin C in these massive doses - 6,000 to 20,000 mg in a twenty-four hour period - is given to these patients with poliomyelitis none will be paralyzed and there will be no further maiming or epidemics of poliomyelitis.’ Levy concludes: “The four doctors who commented after Klenner did not have anything to say about his assertions.” (5)

“When proper amounts are used, it will destroy all virus organisms,” he would say. “Don’t expect control of a virus with 100 to 400 mg of C.” (6)

Klenner administered ascorbate by injection, and, as Lendon H. Smith describes in great detail in the Clinical Guide to the Use of Vitamin C: The Clinical Experiences of Frederick R. Klenner, M.D., Klenner found that “the most effective route was intravenous, but the intramuscular route was satisfactory. He gave at least 350 mg per kilogram of body weight.” That quantity per day is a dose of 25,000-30,000 mg or so for an adult. Yet, Smith adds, “With 350 mg per kilogram of body weight every two hours, he could stop measles and dry up chicken pox.”

This is indeed a large amount of vitamin C. Such use exemplifies the modern orthomolecular physician. Klenner’s doses were enormous, flexible and symptom-driven. The sicker the patient, the higher the dose. Massive ascorbate treatment cured every one of 60 polio cases Klenner saw. He published his report in Southern Medicine and Surgery in July of 1949. (7) All patients were well in three days. None had any paralysis.
In a 1950 letter, Klenner wrote:

“Since my last communication, I have seen four new cases of poliomyelitis. All of these have completely recovered. Three cases were seen in the acute febrile stage and in each instance, using 65 mg per kg body weight (by injection) every two (to) four hours, recovery was spontaneous in 48 hours.” (8)

In 1951, “In an especially incredible case,” Levy says, “Klenner (9) described a five-year-old girl stricken with polio. This child had already been paralyzed in both her lower legs for over four days! The right leg was completely limp, and the left leg was determined to be 85% flaccid. Pain was noticed especially in the knee and lumbar areas. Four consulting physicians confirmed the diagnosis of polio. Other than massage, vitamin C was the only therapy initiated. After four days of vitamin C injections the child was again moving both legs, but with only very slow and deliberate movement. Klenner also noted that there was a “definite response” after only the first injection of vitamin C. The child was discharged from the hospital after four days, and 1,000 mg of oral vitamin C was continued every two hours with fruit juice for seven days. The child was walking about, although slowly, on the 11th day of treatment. By the 19th day of treatment there was a “complete return of sensory and motor function,” and no long-term impairment ever resulted. Vitamin C not only completely cured this case of polio, it completely reversed what would undoubtedly have been a devastating, crippling result for the remainder of this girl’s life.” (4) For such elegant results, in the days before widespread use of either antibiotics or vaccination, one may wonder why Klenner was not awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine.

Although specializing in diseases of the chest, he continued to do general practice because of the opportunities it afforded for observations in medicine. His patients were as enthusiastic as he in playing ‘guinea pigs’ to study the action of ascorbic acid.” (11)
Klenner had hospital privileges at Reidsville’s Annie Penn Memorial Hospital where, among other things, he delivered hundreds of babies. Given supplemental ascorbate, not merely from birth but also all throughout gestation, Klenner’s uniformly healthy, trouble-free infants were known by the staff as the “Vitamin C Babies.” (12)
In a 1978 letter to Klenner, Irwin Stone writes that he thinks that “giving levels of ascorbate for long periods of time at the daily levels you recommend. . . is equivalent to creating a new human subspecies, ‘Homo sapiens ascorbicus’ . . . with unusual resistance to disease and stress and with a prolonged life span.” Stone adds, “I was sorry to hear that the book you intend to write is still only a gleam in your eye.” (13)
Although he never would publish a book on vitamin therapy, Dr. Klenner was a Fellow of the American College of Chest Physicians, the American College of Angiology, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and one of the founders of the American Geriatrics Society. He was inducted into the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame in 2005. (14)

Dr. Klenner’s immensely valuable work is his legacy. 

Linus Pauling said, “The early papers by Dr. Fred R. Klenner provide much information about the use of large doses of vitamin C in preventing and treating many diseases. 
These papers are still important.” (32) 
Klenner is justly remembered as the doctor who was first to boldly assert that “Ascorbic acid is the safest and most valuable substance available to the physician” and that patients should be given “large doses of vitamin C in all pathological conditions while the physician ponders the diagnosis.” 

Whether overshadowed by scandal or stubbornly ignored by the medical profession, high-dose ascorbate therapy is here to stay. 

“I have used Dr. Klenner’s methods on hundreds of patients,” said Dr. Lendon H. Smith. “He is right.”

NO SURPRISE IN AN AUSTRALIAN FINDING THAT POLIOVIRUSES (PLURAL) WERE FOUND IN FECAL SAMPLES OF PATIENTS DIAGNOSED WITH AFP.


[SEE: Kelly H, Brussen KA, Lawrence A, Elliot E, Pearn J, Thorley B (2006).

MOST PEOPLE SIMPLY TRUST THEIR DOCTORS, WHICH THEY SHOULD NOT DO, BUT, INSTEAD, SHOULD BE INFORMED BY THEIR OWN CAREFUL IN-DEPTH RESEARCH, AND, WHEN IN DOUBT AS TO TREATMENT, SEEK A SECOND,OR EVEN A THIRD OPINION.

I AM SERIOUS WHEN I SAY THAT MOST OF TODAY'S PATIENTS, IF TOLD BY THEIR DOCTOR THAT HE  WILL HAVE TO DETACH THEIR HEAD AND REATTACH IT TO THEIR ANKLE TO ALLEVIATE, SAY, MIGRAINE, WOULD JUST SAY, "OKAY, IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES..."

HERE ARE A FEW THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW, FACTS, THINGS ANYONE CAN FIND IN A SHORT TIME, OR BY ASKING VERY 'POINTED' QUESTIONS AND DEMANDING HONEST AND COMPLETE ANSWERS...IN OTHER WORDS, SIMPLY MAKE THEM PROVE WHAT THEY SAY BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT!

The history of "pharmaceutical science" is largely a story of FAILURES, as well as successes. Numerous drugs over the decades have been approved and THEN found MORE dangerous than the condition being targeted, but only after hundreds of thousands of people were turned into GUINEA PIGS by the medical establishment.  
In the case of vaccines, both the first human papilloma vaccine (Gardasil) and Paul Offit’s vaccine for rotavirus (Rotateq) were disasters. 
Both were fast-tracked through the FDA and both failed to live up to their promises.
This scenario of fast tracking unsafe and poorly researched vaccines was certainly the case for one of the first polio vaccines in 1955. 
In fact the polio vaccine received FDA approval and licensure AFTER JUST TWO HOURS OF 'REVIEW'!
It was the fastest approved drug in the FDA’s history. 

What happened after that initial vaccination was a NIGHTMARE! From the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine:

"Known as the Cutter Incident, because the vaccine was manufactured by Cutter Laboratories, within days of vaccination, 40,000 children of the 200,000 vaccinated were left with polio, 200 with severe paralysis and there were ten deaths!  
Shortly thereafter the vaccine was quickly withdrawn from circulation and abandoned.
Paul Offit, paediatrician and vaccine advocate, profiles leading figures, notably Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin —brilliant, egotistical and flawed characters—pioneers in vaccine development and as scientific celebrities, and notorious for their bitter personal rivalry.

Reviewing failures in the manufacturing and inspection processes, he exonerates Salk from blame and concludes that `the federal government, through its vaccine regulatory agency... was in the best position to avoid the Cutter tragedy'. 

The Cutter incident led to the replacement of Salk's formaldehyde-treated vaccine with Sabin's attenuated strain. Though Sabin's vaccine had the advantages of being administered orally and of fostering wider `contact immunity', it could also be re-activated by passage through the gut, resulting in occasional cases of polio (still causing paralysis in six to eight children every year in the 1980s and 1990s, when a modified Salk vaccine was re-introduced). 

Offit observes, `ironically, the Cutter incident—by creating the perception among scientists and the public that Salk's vaccine was dangerous —led in part to the development of a polio vaccine that was more dangerous'.

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was introduced in 1986 to protect vaccine manufacturers from litigation on a scale that threatened the continuing production of vaccines. 

Offit proposes that the option of suing vaccine manufacturers should be stopped
and that compensation should only be available through the official programme." 


YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT...VACCINE MANUFACTURERS CAN'T BE SUED, EVEN IF YOUR CHILD DROPS DEAD BEFORE THE NEEDLE LEAVES HIS/HER ARM!
BUT CUTTER WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE SELLING KNOWN CONTAMINATED VACCINES!

In the 1980s, numerous companies, including Bayer's Cutter Biologic division, produced unsafe blood products to treat hemophilia.

The pharmaceutical product—produced from blood from donors across the US—was contaminated with the HIV virus at a time when HIV could not be screened out. These problems led to lawsuits over the next twenty years.
A recent German documentary called "Tödlicher Ausverkauf: Wie BAYER AIDS nach Asien importierte" (Deadly Sale: How Bayer imported AIDS into Asia) researched the Koate product for hemophiliacs sold by Bayer's Cutter division under full knowledge of its HIV contamination. 
Cutter ex-manager Merill Boyce expressed the opinion that the company should be responsible and pay damages. 
Another ex-manager John H Hink, who also had been on the team that marketed Koate to Asia, expressed regret in the documentary that management had REQUIRED that they sell old stock despite knowledge of HIV contamination. 
ETHICS IN THE CREATION OF NEW DRUGS AND VACCINES?
NONE THAT ARE NOTICEABLE.

THE CDC COVERS FOR THE VACCINE MANUFACTURERS
The CDC’s website still promulgates a blatant untruth... that the Salk vaccine was a modern medical success. 
To the contrary, officials at the National Institutes of Health were convinced that the vaccine was contributing to a rise in polio and paralysis cases in the 1950s. 
 In 1957 Edward McBean documented in his book The Poisoned Needle that government officials stated the vaccine was “worthless as a preventive and dangerous to take.”  
Some states such as Idaho where several people died after receiving the Salk vaccine, wanted to hold the vaccine makers legally liable.  

SALK ADMITS THE TRUTH
Dr. Salk himself testified in 1976 that his live virus vaccine, which continued to be distributed in the US until 2000, was the “principal if not sole cause” of all polio cases in the US since 1961.  However, after much lobbying and political leveraging, private industry seduced the US Public Health Service to proclaim the vaccine safe.[2]  Although this occurred in the 1950s, this same private industry game plan to coerce and buy off government health agencies has become epidemic with practically every vaccine brought to market during the past 50 years.
Today, US authorities proudly claim the nation is polio-free. Medical authorities and advocates of mass vaccination raise the polio vaccine as an example of a vaccine that eradicated a virus and proof of the unfounded “herd immune theory”.  
Dr. Suzanne Humphries, a nephrologist and one of today’s most outspoken medical critics against vaccines has documented thoroughly that polio’s disappearance was actually a game of smoke and mirrors.
[SEE: Humphries, S.  “Smoke, Mirrors and the Disappearance of Polio,” International Medical Council on Vaccination. November 17, 2011
]  
By 1961, the polio vaccine should have been ruled a dismal failure and abandoned since more people were being paralyzed from the vaccines than wild poliovirus infection.
NEED PROOF?
IT IS ABUNDANTLY OUT THERE!

  • Loyola University Medical Center identified SV40 in 38% of bone cancer cases [6]
  • 58% of mesothelioma cases, a life threatening lung cancer, had SV40 present
  • A later analysis of a large national cancer database found mesotheliomas were 178% higher among those who received the polio vaccines
  • A study published in Cancer Research found SV40 in 23 percent of blood samples taken and 45% of semen samples studied, thereby confirming that the monkey virus can be sexually transmitted.
  • Osteosarcomas are 10 times higher in states where the polio vaccine contaminated with SV40 was most used, particularly throughout the Northeastern states 
  • Two 1988 studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine discovered that SV40 can be passed on to infants whose mother’s received the SV40 tainted vaccines. Those children later had a 13 times greater rate of brain tumors compared to children whose mothers did not receive the polio vaccines. This would also explain why these children's tumors contained the SV40 virus present, EVEN THOUGH THE CHILDREN THEMSELVES NEVER RECEIVED THE VACCINE!   
[62 peer-reviewed studies confirming the presence of SV40 in a variety of human tissues and different carcinomas were available way back in 2001 that prove this beyond a doubt.]. 
There is a very large body of scientific literature detailing the catastrophic consequences of SV40 virus infection. 
Although the killed polio vaccines administered in developed countries no longer contain the SV40 virus, the oral vaccine continues to be the vaccine of choice in POOR developing countries because its cost-effectiveness to manufacture.  

Safety is clearly not a priority of the drug companies, health agencies and bureaucratic organizations that push especially the ORAL vaccine on impoverished children.


After almost sixty years of silence and a federally sanctioned cover up, the CDC finally admitted several years ago that the Salk and Sabin vaccines indeed were contaminated with the carcinogenic SV40 monkey virus. 
However, SV40 is not the only contaminate parents should be worried about. As with other vaccines, such as measles, mumps, influenza, smallpox and others, the viral component of the vaccine continues to be cultured in animal cell medium. This medium can contain monkey kidney cells, newborn calf serum, bovine extract and more recently clostridium tetani, the causative agent for tetanus infection. 
All animal tissue mediums can carry known and unknown pathogenic viruses, bacterial genetic residues, and foreign DNA fragments that pose countless potential health risks.  
Based on transcripts of CDC meetings on biological safety, the late medical investigative reporter, Janine Roberts, noted that vaccine makers and government health officials admit they have no way to prevent dangerous carcinogenic and autoimmune causative genetic material from being injected into an infant. 
Among the unwanted genetic material that might be found in vaccines today are:  cancer-causing oncogenes, bird leukemia virus, equine arthritic virus, prions (a protein responsible for Mad Cow Disease and other life threatening illnesses), enzyme reverse transcriptase (a biological marker associated with HIV infection), and a multitude of extraneous DNA fragments and contaminates that escape filtration during vaccine preparation. 
[SEE: Gale, R. and Null, G. “Vaccines’ Dark Inferno: What Is Not on Insert Labels.”  GlobalResearch. September 29, 2009.]
The CDC acknowledges that it is impossible to remove all foreign genetic and viral material from vaccines.  As Janine Roberts noted, the science behind the manufacture of vaccines is extraordinarily primitive.  Therefore, the CDC sets limits for how much genetic contamination by weight is permitted in a vaccine, and the agency over the years continues to increase the threshold.  [Gale and Null, Ibid.]
Amidst the polio vaccine debacle and mounds of scientific literature confirming the vaccines’  failure, US health agencies and the most ardent proponents of vaccines, such as Paul Offit and Bill Gates, retreat into the protected cloisters of medical denialism and continue to spew folktales of polio vaccines’ success.
 In recent years Bill Gates’ polio eradication campaigns in India have been dismal failures.  Touted as one of the “most expensive public health campaigns in history” according to Bloomberg Business, as many as 15 doses of oral polio vaccine FAILED to immunize the poorest of Indian children.  
Severe gastrointestinal damage due to contaminated water and wretched sanitation conditions have made the vaccine ineffective.  
Similar cases have been reported with the rotavirus and cholera vaccine failures in Brazil, Peru and Bangladesh.   
According to epidemiologist Nicholas Grassly at Imperial College London, “ There is increasing evidence that oral polio failure is the result of exposure to other gut infections.” [SEE: Narayan, A.  “Extra Food Means Nothing to Stunted Kids with Bad Water Health,” Bloomberg Business. June 12, 2013]
There is another even more frightening consequence of Gates’ vaccine boondoggle launched upon rural India in 2011.  
This particular polio vaccine contains an INCREASED dosage of the polio virus. 
In the April-June 2012 issue of the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics, a paper reported the incidence of 47,500 new cases of what is being termed “non-polio acute flaccid paralysis”, or NPAFP, following Gates polio campaign.
[SEE: 
Vashisht, N. and Puliyel J. “Polio Program: Let Us Declare Victory and Move On,” Indian Journal of Medical Ethics.April-June 9:2, 2012  pp 114-117
]  

The following year, there were over 53,500 reported cases. 
NPAFP is clinically indistinguishable from wild polio paralysis as well as polio vaccine-induced paralysis.  The primary difference is that NPAFP is far more fatal.[SEE“53,000 Paralysis Cases in India from Polio Vaccine in a Year”  Child Health Safety. December 1, 2014]
Physicians at New Delhi’s St. Stephen's Hospital analyzed national polio surveillance data and found direct links between the increased dosages of the polio vaccine and rise in NPAFP.  
Coincidentally, the two states with the highest number of cases, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, are also the two states with the worst water contamination, poverty and highest rates of gastrointestinal diseases reported by Bloomberg.  
As early as 1948, during a particularly terrible polio outbreak in the US, Dr Benjamin Sandler at Oteen Veterans’ Hospital observed the relationship between polio infection, malnutrition and poor diets relying heavily on starches. 
[Miller, N. op cit.]  
According to nutrition data, white rice, the primary daily food staple among poorer Indians, has the highest starch content among all foods.
[Chandra RK. “Reduced secretory antibody response to live attenuated measles and poliovirus vaccines in malnourished children,” British Medical Journal 2, 1975, 583–5]
Despite this crisis, in January 2014, Bill Gates, the WHO and the Indian government announced India is today a polio-free nation. 
[ Krishnan, V.  “India to get polio-free status amid rise in acute flaccid paralysis cases,”  Live Mint (India), January 13, 2014.
Another sleight of hand performance of the polio vaccine’s magic act.
Many historians of science, such as Robert Johnson at the University of Illinois, agree that the decrease in polio and other infectious diseases during the first half of the twentieth century were largely the result of concerted national public health efforts to improve sanitation and public water systems, crowded factory conditions, better hygienic food processing, and new advances in medicine and health care.  

Relying upon the unfounded myth that vaccines are a magic bullet to protect a population suffering from extreme conditions of poverty, while failing to improve these populations’ living standards, is a no-win scenario.  

Vaccines will continue to fail and further endanger the millions of children’s health with severely impaired immune systems with high levels of vaccines’ infectious agents and other toxic ingredients.

Last year, researchers at the University of Bonn isolated a new strain of poliovirus that evades vaccine protection. 

During a 2010 polio outbreak in a VACCINATED region of the Congo, there were 445 cases of polio paralysis and 209 deaths. 
[Malory, M.  “Mutant poliovirus caused Republic of Congo outbreak in 2010,”  Medical Xpress. August 19, 2014

This is only the most recent report of poliovirus strains’ mutation that calls the entire medical edifice of the vaccine’s efficacy into question.   

One of the first discoveries of the vaccine contributing to the rise of new polio strains was reported by the Institut Pasteur in 1993. 
Dr. Crainic at the Institut proved that if you vaccinate a person with 3 strains of poliovirus, a fourth strain will emerge and therefore the vaccine itself is contributing to recombinant activity between strains.

Since the poliovirus is excreted through a person's GI system, it is commonly present in sewage and then in water sources.  In 200, Japanese scientists discovered a new infectious polio strain in rivers and sewage near Tokyo.  After genetic sequencing, the novel mutation was able to be traced back to the polio vaccine.  Additional vaccine-derived polio strains have also been identified in Egypt, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. 
[ Miller, N. op cit.]
Therefore, the emergence of new polio strains due to over-vaccination is predictable. 
Similar developments are being discovered with a new PERTUSSIS strain that evades the current DPT vaccines.  
For this reason, there has been an increase in whooping cough outbreaks among fully vaccinated children.  
Influenza viruses regularly mutate and evade current flu vaccines.  
The measles vaccine is becoming less and less effective, and again measles outbreaks are occurring among some of the most highly vaccinated populations.
As with the failure of antibiotics because of their over-reliance to fight infections, researchers are now more readily willing to entertain the likelihood that massive vaccination campaigns are contributing to the emergence of new, more deadly viral strains impervious to current vaccines.

NO ONE REALLY UNDERSTANDS VIRUSES!
THEY ARE INCREDIBLY AND MADDENINGLY ADAPTIVE. 
KILL THEM WITH ONE THING, THEY MUTATE AND BECOME IMMUNE TO THAT, AND OFTEN,  IN SO DOING, BECOME EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE. 
WE WERE BETTER OFF, I THINK, WITH THE ORIGINAL STRAINS, BUT THERE'S NO GOING BACK NOW.

THEY REMIND ME A BIT OF THE "BORG" IN THE SERIES "STAR TREK"...
AND RESISTANCE JUST VERY WELL MAY BE, INDEED, FUTILE.

WE HAVE ALL THIS NEW KNOWLEDGE...TO IGNORE IT, TO GO ON REPEATING THE SAME ERROR OVER AND OVER AGAIN, IGNORING THE FACTS, RENAMING DISEASES TO HIDE THEM IS NO SOLUTION, BUT IS A SIGN OF INSANITY!

WITH KNOWLEDGE AND DETERMINATION, IF WE APPLY FACTS AND PURE TRUTH, IF WE STOP IGNORING AND PRETENDING ALL IS WELL, WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THINGS PREVIOUSLY DEEMED IMPOSSIBLE
FIRST, THE TRUTH!
THE POLIO VACCINE AS A CURE IS A HOAX...NOW FOR FINDING A REAL CURE...WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN FOUND!
BUT MEASURES MUST BE TAKEN TO PREVENT A CHILD CONTRACTING POLIO.
THAT IS WHAT WE STILL MUST WORK ON!

NEW MARINE DEATHS PACIFIC COAST CALLED TRAGIC EVENTS

THE PUBLIC IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE AWARE THAT THE PACIFIC HAS TURNED INTO A PLACE OF DEATH, BUT THAT DOES NOT HELP THOSE SEA CREATURES WHO HAVE NO OTHER PLACE TO LIVE, NOWHERE TO RUN!
I GROW WEARY OF SEEING SO MANY NEWS REPORTS, HEARING ABOUT NEW DEATHS EVERY DAY, AND STILL NO PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ANY HEADLINES OR OTHERWISE ON ALL THOSE LONG-AGO-PROMISED TESTS FOR RADIATION ...NONE, AFTER FOUR YEARS?
NONE WITH EXPLICIT DATA!

THESE ARE REPORTS OF NEW MARINE DEATHS FROM JUST THE PAST FEW DAYS!

FROM ABC, Monday, July 06, 2015:

There was a disturbing sight at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. Monday three large marine mammals washed up dead on the beach.
By sunset people stopped to gawk at the elephant seal sprawled on the beach. The dead mammals raise many disturbing questions. Just this weekend, the National Weather Service meteorologists reported that Pacific Ocean temperatures off the beach are five degrees higher than average and could top off at a record-breaking 70 degrees by the end of this month.

The fear is there could be more to come."

A DISTURBING DAY AT THE BEACH?
MORE TO COME?
YEAH, EVERY DAY HAS BECOME DISTURBING, BUT NOT QUITE DISTURBING ENOUGH TO ELICIT PUBLIC OUTCRY, RIGHT?

AND YOU CAN SAFELY BET THE FARM THAT THERE WILL BE "MORE TO COME"!
SO WHAT, RIGHT?
WHO CARES...UNTIL IT'S HUMAN BODIES OUT THERE, MAYBE?
NAAAAH, PROBABLY NOT EVEN THEN, SAD TO SAY!

GULLS FOUND DEAD IN...KUNA, IDAHO...REPORTED JUNE 30, 2015!
IDAHO!
SEAGULLS JUST DROP DEAD ALL OVER AN IDAHO ROAD...

"The birds found dead show no signs of physical injury and were not sickened by plague, Oneale said. Rather, he said, it appears to be a specific type of pathogen that has yet to be determined.

[BUT IT WON'T EVER BE DETERMINED, WILL IT?]

Kuna resident Susan Carlson was driving on South Cole Road on June 27 when she came upon dozens of birds in the road near the intersection of Barker Road.
“I was just very disturbed by what I saw,” Carlson said.
The dead birds were various species of songbirds, she said. Some birds were alive, but were struggling to fly.
“One even fell onto my car,” Carlson said. “The whole scene made me very, very sad.”
WHAT?
PROBABLY SUICIDES, HUH?
NO PROBLEM, RIGHT?

NOAA REPORTS THAT LARGE NUMBERS OF YOUNG HERRING HAVE JUST DISAPPEARED FROM PACIFIC WATERS, THAT NOBODY COULD FIND THEM...SO, NO WORRIES, RIGHT?
WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT STUPID HERRING?
May 21, 2015

" Something happened to these fish over the winter…. Also in the Gulf proper, we’ve seen a decrease in Herring. Unexpectedly, the Sitka Sound herring fishery — which is a seminal fishery for herring in our state — came in really low… something happened to them over the winter. Right now that’s still an unknown...."


IT'S ALWAYS A DAMNED "UNKNOWN', RIGHT NOAA?
UNKNOWN...TO ALL OF US, THANKS!
THERE'S A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF AN 'INTERVIEW' WITH THE GUY WHO MADE THE ABOVE STATEMENT...I WON'T POST IT HERE BECAUSE IT STINKS OF "WE JUST DON'T KNOW" BS, BUT YOU CAN SEE IT <HERE>.

BUT IT IS NOT JUST THE HERRING!

Undercurrent News, Jun 29, 2015:

"Bristol Bay sockeye salmon harvests are continuing to be well under 2014 and five-year average levels… down 86% from… the same period last year and off 75% from the… average."

KDLG, Jul 1, 2015: 

"."Alaska’s largest sockeye fishery is predicted to have a near record return this summer, but so far [they] have only trickled into Bristol Bay’s rivers… 3.4 million sockeye have been harvested… estimates suggested 54 million sockeye… with 38 million available for harvest

Cordova Times, Jun 25, 2015: 

"Area management biologist James Jackson said that through June 23 the sockeye harvest [is] half of what biologists expected the harvest to be at this time. “It’s been a very strange year,” Jackson said." 

SAY AWAY, JAMES...NOBODY CARES...

VIDEO WITH THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE:

Fox San Francisco transcript, Jul 6, 2015 (emphasis added): Several dead sea mammals found along Ocean Beach — In San Francisco, an unusual and sad sight at Ocean Beach today. That’s where several dead marine mammals washed ashore… This part of a troubling trend… Back in May, 3 dead whales washed up along San Francisco beaches…
 

Joey DeRuy's walk...
"I kept walking and I kept running into more," said DeRuy.  
He said he spotted a small dead seal, then a much larger mammal that appeared to be an elephant seal.
Several people walking by couldn't help but stop and wonder what is behind the deaths.
A report shows ocean temperatures in the Bay Area are running warmer than usual this time of year, leading some, like Dury, to question if that's a factor.
"It's very disturbing," said DeRuy. "I've never seen so many animals."
It's not clear how the animals died or what officials plan to do with the beached elephant seal."
"Sad and disconcerting to see were 2 dead cetaceans floating out beyond the breakers. One appeared to be a Bottlenose Dolphin -- the corpse was approached a couple of times by a live Bottlenose Dolphin. The other appeared to be a relatively small whale, black in color -- perhaps a young Humpback. It looked like there were some gashes on the corpse, which was drifting N with the current. 
At one point a young Western Gull was riding on top of it. 

During a walk on Ocean Beach S of Noriega yesterday, washed up in the wrack line on the beach were deceased Sooty Shearwater and sea lion pup. We also got to see a fisherman on the beach reel-in -- then unhook and release back into the surf -- a Pacific Angelshark, which was an interesting looking fish. "

FROM THE COASTS OF PERU AND CHILE NORTHWARD BEYOND ALASKA, FROM RUSSIA AND JAPAN TO SAN FRANCISCO BAY, SCENES LIKE THIS FROM LAST YEAR JUST KEEP REPLAYING, AND STILL NO REAL REASON, NO ABSOLUTE DIAGNOSIS OF WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ALL OF THEM!

WHAT WILL IT TAKE?
SO MANY BODIES THAT NO ONE CAN EVEN GET TO THE SURF ANYMORE?
WOULD THAT DO IT?
WOULD THAT MAKE AMERICAN CITIZENS DEMAND FULL DISCLOSURE AND A SOLUTION?

NBC Bay Area news anchor, Jul 7, 2015: 

"Ocean Beach the scene of more mammals washing ashore. Now a dolphin and 2 sea lions join the list of multiple dead whales." 

SFist, Jul 6, 2015: Multiple Marine Mammals Found Dead Along Ocean Beach Monday — 

"At least two dead sea lions, including one large adult, and one large dolphin, washed ashore today along Ocean Beach and there may be more to come… It’s unclear just yet if this could part of a larger beaching, or part of a recent patternmore beachings due to starvation are expected… Today’s beachings follow multiple cases of dead whales appearing on our coast over the last couple of months."
  
JELLYFISH EXPLOSION


KUOW (NPR station in Seattle) transcript, May 12, 2015 : 

"Jellyfish Boom As Little Fish Disappeared…  A bill signed by Governor Jay Inslee authorizes a major study of fish in Puget Sound… A new study suggests that the little guys are disappearing…

 [NOAA biologist] Correigh Greene is standing near the end of a fishing dock in West Seattle. He’s not here to fish, but he tells me what he’d expect to catch if he threw a net in the water here: Some young salmon pumped out by hatcheries — (Green): “and that’s mostly it, aside from a bunch of jellyfish”… 

In much of Puget Sound… researchers rarely pull up the little fish that salmon, and even orcas, depend on. 
Mostly they get big hauls of jellyfish. 
Greene recalls one of the biggest — 
(Green): “The net was so filled with jellyfish we couldn’t bring it on board. It was too heavy for our winch. It’s fairly disturbing when all you pull up are these huge masses of jellyfish.”

WHAT, OH, WHAT COULD BE KILLING SO MANY DIFFERENT SPECIES IN THE PACIFIC?

WHAT ATTACKS EVERYTHING FROM PLANKTON TO KELP TO SEA STARS AND URCHINS TO SHELLFISH TO FOOD FISH TO TURTLES TO MARINE MAMMALS TO BIRDS FROM THE TIP OF SOUTH AMERICA TO THE ARCTIC CIRCLE, AND FROM ONE SIDE OF THE PACIFIC TO THE OTHER?
DON'T TELL ME ALL OF OUR ILLUSTRIOUS SCIENTISTS, OUR BEST MARINE BIOLOGISTS CAN'T GET TOGETHER AND AGREE ON WHAT THE HELL IS DOING THIS!
NO WAY THAT THEY JUST DON'T KNOW!


ONE DAY IT'S WARM WATER, ANOTHER DAY IT'S "MYSTERIOUS STARVATION", THEN IT'S A BIOLOGICAL PATHOGEN, THEN THAT GETS RULED OUT AND IT JUST MAY BE HUMAN CONTAMINATION....

HUMAN CONTAMINATION?
AS IN FUKUSHIMA RADIATION, MAYBE, JUST MAYBE?
AS IN ALL THOSE URANIUM "BUCKYBALLS" AND TONS UPON TONS OF RADIOACTIVE CRAP BEING PUMPED OUT INTO THE AIR AND INTO THE PACIFIC BY THE CRAZIES TRYING TO KEEP THOSE REACTORS COOL?

I GUARANTEE YOU, THE TRUTH WILL NOT BE TOLD...IT JUST WON'T...

MUSTN'T "PANIC THE POPULACE"...AND ALSO, MUST NOT GIVE ANYONE, NEITHER SEA CREATURE NOR HUMANS, A FIGHTING CHANCE BY COMING CLEAN ON WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE PACIFIC!

GONE FISHING...THE TEA ROOM TAKES A BREAK



THERE'S MUCH GOING ON "OUT THERE" AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO STAY INFORMED EVEN WITH THE INTERNET TO RELAY CURRENT EVENTS AT LIGHT SPEED.

IT'S ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER AND WE COULD ALL USE SOME OF THAT AS MORE AND MORE POWER IS TAKEN FROM US EACH NEW DAY.

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NATION RUN "BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE", BUT WE'RE SEEING THAT GO THE WAY OF THE WIND.
PITY.

NOW AND THEN, IT GETS A BIT 'TAXING' TO HUNT-AND-PECK MY WAY THROUGH A BLOG HERE.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES.

SO, THE TEA ROOM WILL BE ON 'AUTOPILOT' FOR AWHILE.
WHETHER FOR DAYS OR WEEKS, IT ISN'T LIKE ANYONE NEEDS A "CUPPA HEMLOCK TEA" TO KNOW WHAT'S BREWING.

DO WATCH THE HORIZON, PEOPLE OF EARTH.
A STORM IS COMING.

MAY WE ALL WEATHER IT WELL.  


I'M GOING TO JUST TAKE THE HOUNDS, DIG SOME WORMS, SIT ON THE BANKS OF THIS BEAUTIFUL OLD OXBOW OFF THIS MUDDY OLD RIVER AND DIP A LINE FOR AWHILE.

THERE IS AN ENORMOUS CARP THAT ROLLS ACROSS THE FAR SIDE EVERY EARLY MORNING AND LATE AFTERNOON, LEAVING A WAKE LIKE A SUBMARINE.

IF I CATCH HIM, I WON'T KEEP HIM, BUT I WANT TO TRY.

EVERYONE NEEDS A BREAK TO DO FOOLISH THINGS NOW AND AGAIN.

BE WELL, BE ALERT, BE PREPARED.

AND LEARN!

LEARN SOMETHING NEW EACH DAY.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S NEXT...

"LEARN OR PERISH".

ALL THE BEST UNTIL...WELL, JUST UNTIL...




MERCURY POISONING ORDERED BY SUPREME COURT

THANKS TO THE SUPREME COURT AND A CONGRESS THAT PLACES NO VALUE ON HUMAN LIFE, WE'LL BE SEEING MORE LIKE THIS!




THAT'S WHAT THE DECISION BY FIVE OF THE NINE HENCHMEN ON THE $#*^#!%$! "SUPREME COURT" DID...ORDERED THE CONTINUING, DAILY POISONING OF EVERY MAN, WOMAN, CHILD, AND DEVELOPING FETUS IN AMERICA.

"Mercury is highly toxic in the air and the water, and it builds up through the food chain. 

It is particularly dangerous for a pregnant woman and her developing baby.
Other toxic pollutants are believed to trigger asthma attacks.
The Clinton administration completed the study and prepared the rules, but they were blocked during the George W. Bush administration. 


Lawyers for the coal and electric power industries went to court, alleging the costs of the new rule would vastly outweigh the benefits. They said the rules would cost $9.5 billion a year, while the benefit of removing mercury from the air would be only $5 million a year.
The EPA called this a false comparison. The agency said the rules would save 11,000 lives per year. And if all the impact of all the hazardous pollutants were considered, the EPA said the cleaner air would yield public health benefits of more than $37 billion a year.
Last year, a U.S. appeals court here upheld the regulations as justified under the law. 

THE EPA HAS NEVER REALLY GONE AFTER THE ONES MOST RESPONSIBLE FOR PUMPING MERCURY AND OTHER TOXINS INTO OUR AIR AND WATER AND SOIL (AND THEREBY FOOD), BUT THEY COULD HAVE...EXCEPT FOR ONE THING...

THE GOP, THAT GRAND OLD REPUBLICAN PARTY IS STILL PLAYING FAVORITE WHORE TO WALL STREET, AND WHEN THOSE OLD TOXIC "POWER PLANTS" JUST WHINED AND CRIED ABOUT HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST THEM TO CLEAN UP THEIR FILTHY, LETHAL PLANTS, WELL, THE GOP BOYS AND SOME OF THE JACKASS BUNCH ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE HELPED MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO NEVER HAVE TO CLEAN UP ANYTHING. 

SCREW THE ENVIRONMENT, TO HELL WITH HOW MANY PEOPLE DEVELOP NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS (LIKE CEREBRAL PALSY, BY THE WAY), HOW MANY BABIES ARE BORN ALREADY SUFFERING FROM MERCURY POISONING IN UTERO, OR HOW MANY OF US ARE WARNED TO STAY INDOORS DURING BAD "AIR QUALITY" DAYS WHEN THE HAZE IS AS THICK AS PEA SOUP, THE COLOR OF SULPHUR AND ACCUMULATES ON OUR VEHICLES, PLAYGROUNDS, SKIN AND GARDENS!

IF CONGRESS HADN'T GOTTEN INVOLVED WITH MICROMANAGING WHO AND WHEN AND WHERE AND WHAT THE EPA REGULATES TO KEEP CORPORATIONS FROM KILLING ALL OF US, WE MIGHT STAND A FIGHTING CHANCE.

A PROPER EPA JUST MIGHT HAVE SLAPPED A BAZILLION DOLLAR FINE ON EVERY LAZY, SORRY COAL-BURNING CHILD-KILLER OUT THERE, BUT NO, OH NO, CAN'T HAVE THE BIG CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS UPSET!

MUSTN'T CUT INTO THEIR PROFITS...BAD FOR THE MARKET! 

THE ECONOMY COMES FIRST, NOT HUMAN HEALTH, NOT HUMAN LIVES!  


IT'S FAR, FAR BETTER TO ALLOW THE MAJOR POLLUTERS TO KEEP CAUSING 11,000 OR MORE PREMATURE DEATHS EACH YEAR THAN TROUBLE THEM TO PUT A LID ON THEIR MURDER WEAPONS. 

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT BEEN INFORMED, HERE ARE JUST THE MAJOR PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THE LEVELS OF MERCURY IN OUR AIR:

FROM THE EPA!

Methylmercury effects

For fetuses, infants, and children, the primary health effect of methylmercury is impaired neurological development. 
Methylmercury exposure in the womb can adversely affect a baby's growing brain and nervous system. 
Impacts on cognitive thinking, memory, attention, language, and fine motor and visual spatial skills have been seen in children exposed to methylmercury in the womb. 

Elemental mercury effects

Elemental (metallic) mercury primarily causes health effects when it is breathed as a vapor where it can be absorbed through the lungs. 
These exposures can occur when elemental mercury is spilled or products that contain elemental mercury break and expose mercury to the air, particularly in warm or poorly-ventilated indoor spaces. 
Symptoms include these:
tremors; 

emotional changes (e.g., mood swings, irritability, nervousness,
excessive shyness); 

insomnia; 
neuromuscular changes (such as weakness,muscle atrophy, twitching); 
headaches; 
disturbances in sensations; 
changes in nerve responses; 
performance deficits on tests of cognitive function. 

At higher exposures there may be kidney effects, respiratory failure and death.



Effects of other mercury compounds (inorganic and organic)

High exposures to inorganic mercury may result in damage to the gastrointestinal tract, the nervous system, and the kidneys. 
Both inorganic and organic mercury compounds are absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and affect other systems via this route.
However, organic mercury compounds are more readily absorbed via ingestion than inorganic mercury compounds.
Symptoms of high exposures to inorganic mercury include: skin rashes and dermatitis; mood swings; memory loss; mental disturbances; and muscle weakness. 
OF COURSE THE EPA GOES ON AND ON AND ON TO DOWNPLAY ALL THESE.
WHY?
BECAUSE THE EPA KNOWS IT ISN'T ABOUT TO REALLY REGULATE EITHER JACK OR SQUAT!


THINK ABOUT THIS QUOTE:

"We've got to ask ourselves: how much clean air do we
need?" - Lee Iacocca


YOU REALLY OUGHT TO READ THE WALL STREET JOURNAL'S CROWING, PROUD, HAPPY ACCOUNT OF THE "BIG WINS" FOR CORPORATE AMERICA THIS WEEK!

THE WSJ IS PLEASED AS PUNCH THAT THE "JUSTICES" STUCK IT TO EVERYONE WHO STOOD TO BENEFIT FROM THE REGULATIONS ON HOW MUCH POISON AND WHICH TYPES THEY CAN KEEP RIGHT ON PUMPING OUT THOSE OUTDATED WORTHLESS SMOKESTACKS ONTO THE UNSUSPECTING, KEPT-IN-THE-DARK SERF CLASS HERE.

AFTER ALL, 11,000 DEATHS A YEAR AND UNTOLD NUMBERS OF CHRONICALLY ILL FROM EMISSIONS FROM THOSE GOOD OLD BOYS WHO BURN COAL IS A DROP IN THE BUCKET, RIGHT?

SURELY AMERICAN MOTHERS DON'T MIND SACRIFICING THEIR OFFSPRING ON THE ALTAR OF COAL-BURNING POWER PLANTS AND OTHER BUSINESSES THAT USE A LOT OF MERCURY IN MANUFACTURING, OR EMIT MERCURY AS A RESULT OF THAT!  

AMERICAN WOMEN CAN HAVE MORE KIDS TO GROW UP AND REPLACE THOSE WORKING CLASS STIFFS ERASED BY TOXIC CHEMICALS, HEAVY METALS AND WHATEVER ELSE THE BELOVED COAL-BURNERS WANT TO SEND DOWN ON TOP OF US! 


WALL STREET AND ITS "JOURNAL" ARE ALL DANCING IN THE STREETS TONIGHT!

"Monday’s victory [SEE THAT? VICTORY!] for the utility industry marked a high point for business in a term that produced mixed results for corporations. 
Big health-care companies were relieved by last week’s Affordable Care Act ruling, and corporations made incremental advances in other areas, such as by winning time limits on certain whistleblower lawsuits.

But companies lost notable rulings on employment discrimination and came up short in a fair-housing case where lenders and insurers hoped to limit lawsuits alleging their practices had the effect of disadvantaging minorities. 


[HOW MUCH CLEARER CAN THIS MESSAGE BE FOR YOU, FOLKS? CORPORATIONS LOST BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DISCRIMINATE QUITE AS MUCH AS THEY USED TO? 
DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW BLATANT THAT IS? THEY WERE DISCRIMINATING AND ADMIT IT, BECAUSE NOW THEY'RE SAYING THEY'VE "LOST NOTABLE RULINGS"!]
The EPA adopted the mercury rules in 2012, and they went into effect earlier this year. The agency concluded costs weren’t a relevant consideration when it was deciding whether to develop regulations.

Later, as it was writing the rule, the agency estimated an annual cost to the utility sector of $9.6 billion and public-health benefits of at least $37 billion.
[SO, THE BENEFIT TO THE REST OF US, THE SERFS, THE EVERYDAY PEOPLE
WOULD HAVE BEEN 4 TIMES MORE, AND BETTER FOR US, THAN THE COST THE POLLUTERS WOULD HAVE TO SPEND TO MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS?
THE WSJ SEES THAT AS A GOOD TRADE-OFF, THAT THE COMPANIES SAVED $9 BILLION SINCE THEY WON'T HAVE TO CLEAN UP NOW, AND WE LOST $37 BILLION, AND OUR HEALTH, OR OUR LIVES?
YUP!
PAUSE A MOMENT AND REFLECT ON THAT, PLEASE.]
But Justice Scalia, writing for the court’s more-conservative justices, said the EPA “must consider cost—including, most importantly, cost of compliance—before deciding whether regulation is appropriate and necessary.”   

[LET THAT REALLY SINK IN... MOST IMPORTANT IS COST OF COMPLIANCE!  
NOT YOU,. NOT ME, NOT OUR CHILDREN, BUT THE COST TO THE DAMNED COMPANIES!  
SCALIA (IS HE A COMMUNIST OR FASCIST, I FORGET) DEMANDS THAT COST COMES BEFORE HUMAN HEALTH. ]
Joining the court’s majority decision were Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
The mercury rules were drawn from a different section of the Clean Air Act than other pending Obama administration environmental rules, including the EPA’s proposed carbon rules for power plants.
Coal-mining company Murray Energy, which has sued EPA over its carbon rules, said Monday’s ruling indicates the agency also wouldn’t be able to justify the costs of the carbon regulation, “which similarly imposes billions of dollars in costs, with no discernible environmental benefit whatsoever.”
Duke Energy Corp., of Charlotte, N.C., said it doesn’t plan to change its current program to comply with the mercury limits. The company, which has closed coal-fired units at four sites since 2013 and is slated to shutter four more this year, noted that it will take time to get a new decision on costs from the lower court.
Justice Elena Kagan, writing for the dissenters, said the EPA acted reasonably, and she criticized the court for what she said was micromanaging of the regulatory process. At later stages of the rule making, the agency “took costs into account again and again,” she wrote.
Joining her were Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor.
The EPA indicated it would seek to propose rules that would survive legal scrutiny.
“EPA remains committed to ensuring that appropriate standards are in place to protect the public from the significant amount of toxic emissions from coal and oil-fired electric utilities and continue reducing the toxic pollution from these facilities,” spokeswoman Melissa Harrison said.

[THAT CAN BE PROVEN QUITE EASILY NOT TO BE TRUE! THE EPA HAS NOT REGULATED MUCH WHEN IT COMES TO CRACKING DOWN ON TOXIC EMISSIONS, PERIOD!]
A group of 21 states, including ones that rely heavily on coal for electricity, and industry groups challenged the EPA rules at the Supreme Court.

[
COULD THOSE BE THE ONES WITH HUGE COAL MINES, THOSE 21 STATES?]
“I think it sends a big message to the overreach by federal agencies, and the EPA in particular, that you can’t simply carte blanche impose regulations on jobs providers without balancing cost and benefits,” Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, a Republican, said in an interview.
The EPA says power plants are the single-largest source of U.S. emissions of mercury, a neurotoxicant that can be particularly harmful to children and unborn babies.  
Some utilities received a time extension before having to comply with the rules, and they will now likely have an additional reprieve because of Monday’s ruling.

The decision could also give utilities that have mothballed older coal-fired power plants the flexibility to bring them back online.

Of the approximately 600 power plants the EPA has been regulating under the rule, about 460 of those are coal-fired plants. 
The EPA has granted a one-year extension to about 35% of those plants, according to a March survey by the National Association of Clean Air Agencies

[CLEAN AIR? CLEAN AIR? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING CLEAN AIR! 
WE NEED CORPORATE PROFITS, A BOOMING STOCK MARKET!]
U.S. utilities in recent years have been shifting away from coal, the most polluting electricity source according to the EPA, propelled by low natural-gas prices and tougher environmental regulations, especially the mercury rule.

[LOWER ENERGY COSTS VIA NATURAL GAS? PERISH THE VERY THOUGHT!
AMERICANS HAVE TO PAY HIGH ENERGY BILLS! IT'S JUST GOOD BUSINESS!]
Government efforts to craft mercury regulations date back more than a decade, prompted by congressional amendments to the Clean Air Act in 1990, and have spanned three presidential administrations.

ALL of the efforts have been delayed by litigation and legislative battles.


YES, ALL, EVERY ATTEMPT!

MAYBE FEW SEE THINGS THE WAY I DO...
I SEE OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN AS OUR HOPE.
I THINK THEY DESERVE CLEAN AIR, A NON-TOXIC START IN LIFE.

IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO KNOW THAT, WHEN YOUNGEST GRANDSON RUNS OUT IN THE RAIN TO CATCH RAINDROPS ON HIS TONGUE, HE ISN'T BEING POISONED BY ANYTHING.
AND I'D LIKE TO LOOK OUT JUST ONCE MORE AND SEE THE SAME SORT OF SKY THAT I USED TO SEE...BLUE, CLEAR, NO HAZE.
I WISH YOU COULD HAVE ALL SEEN THOSE SKIES...THEY WERE INCREDIBLE!
