INOCULATIONS:
THE TRUE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION
CAUSING VIDS (VACCINE INDUCED DISEASES)
(AN EPIDEMIC OF GENOCIDE)
by Rebecca Carley, M.D.
Court Qualified Expert in VIDS and Legal Abuse Syndrome
January 2005 “One basic truth can be used as a foundation for a
mountain of lies, and if we dig down deep enough in the mountain of
lies, and bring out that truth, to set it on top of the mountain of
lies; the entire mountain of lies will crumble under the weight of that
one truth. And there is nothing more devastating to a structure of lies
than the revelation of the truth upon which the structure of lies was
built, because the shock waves of the revelation of the truth
reverberate, and continue to reverberate throughout the Earth for
generations to follow, awakening even those people who had no desire to
be awakened to the truth.” (by Delamar Duvaris as written in the
preface of “Behold the Pale Horse” by William Cooper). The basic truth
that served as the foundation for the mountain of lies known as
vaccinations was the observation that mammals which recover from
infection with microorganisms acquire natural immunity from further
infections. Whenever cytotoxic T cells (the little Pac man cells which
devour and neutralize viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells, thus
conferring cellular immunity and are also responsible for allograft
rejection) and B cells (antibody producing cells which confer humoral
immunity by circulating in the body’s fluids or “humors”, primarily
serum or lymph) are activated by various substances foreign to the body
called antigens, some of the T and B cells become memory cells. Thus,
the next time the individual meets up with that same antigen, the
immune system can be quickly triggered to demolish it. This is the
process known as natural immunity. This truth gave birth to a beLIEf
that if a foreign antigen was injected into an individual, that
individual would then become immune to a future infection. This beLIEf,
(you see the lie in the middle), was given the name, “vaccinations”.
What the promoters of vaccination failed to realize is that secretory
IgA (an antibody found predominately in saliva and secretions of the
gastrointestinal and respiratory tract mucosa) is the initial normal
antibody response to all airborne and ingested pathogens. IgA helps
protect against viral infection, agglutinate bacteria, neutralize
microbial toxins, and decrease attachment of pathogens to mucosal
surfaces. What this author has realized is that bypassing this mucosal
aspect of the immune system by directly injecting organisms into the
body leads to a corruption in the immune system itself whereby IgA is
transmuted into IgE, and/or the B cells are hyperactivated to produce
pathologic amounts of self-attacking antibody as well as suppression of
cytotoxic T cells (as explained shortly). As a result, the pathogenic
viruses or bacteria cannot be eliminated by the immune system and
remain in the body, where they cause chronic disease and thus further
grow and/or mutate as the individual is exposed to ever more antigens
and toxins in the environment. This is especially true with viruses
grouped under the term “stealth adapted”, which are viruses formed when
vaccine viruses combine with viruses from tissues used to culture them,
leading to a lack of some critical antigens normally recognized by the
cellular immune system. One example is stealth adapted (mutated)
cytomegaloviruses which arose from African green monkey (simian) kidney
cells when they were used to culture polio virus for live polio virus
vaccines. Thus, not only was the vaccinee inoculated with polio, but
with the cytomegalovirus as well. The mechanism by which the immune
system is corrupted can best be realized when you understand that the
two poles of the immune system (the cellular and humoral mechanisms)
have a reciprocal relationship in that when the activity of one pole is
increased, the other must decrease. Thus, when one is stimulated, the
other is inhibited. Since vaccines activate the B cells to secrete
antibody,
the cytotoxic (killer) T cells are subsequently suppressed. (In fact,
progressive vaccinia (following vaccination with smallpox) occurs in
the presence of high titers of circulating antibody to the virus[1]
combined with suppressed cytotoxic T cells, leading to spreading of
lesions all over the body). This suppression of the cell mediated
response is thus a key factor in the development of cancer and life
threatening infections. In fact, the “prevention” of a disease via
vaccination is, in reality, an inability to expel organisms due to the
suppression of the cell-mediated response. Thus, rather than preventing
disease, the disease is actually prevented from ever being resolved.
The organisms continue circulating through the body, adapting to the
hostile environment by transforming into other organisms depending on
acidity, toxicity and other changes to the internal terrain of the body
as demonstrated by the works of Professor Antoine Béchamp. He
established this prior to the development of the “germ theory” of
disease by Louis Pasteur. Pasteur’s “germ theory” was a plagiarist’s
attempt to reshape the truth from Béchamp into his own “original”
premise – the beLIEf that germs are out to “attack” us, thereby causing
dis-ease. Thus, treatment of infection with antibiotics as well as
“prevention” of disease with vaccines are both just corrupted attempts
at cutting off the branches of dis-ease, when the root of the cause is
a toxic internal environment combined with nutritional deficiency.
However, since Pasteur’s germ theory was conducive to the profits of
the burgeoning pharmaceutical cartels that only manage dis-ease, no
mention of the work of Professor Béchamp is made in medical school
curricula. To make matters worse than the suppression of cellular
immunity which occurs when vaccines are injected, adjuvants (which are
substances added to vaccines to enhance the antibody response) can
actually lead to serious side effects themselves. Adjuvants include oil
emulsions, mineral compounds (which may contain the toxic metal
aluminum), bacterial products, liposomes (which allow delayed release
of substances), and squalene. The side effects of adjuvants themselves
include hyperactivity of B cells leading to pathologic[2] levels of
antibody production, as well as allergic reaction to the adjuvants
themselves (as demonstrated in Gulf War I soldiers injected with
vaccines containing the adjuvant squalene, to which antibodies were
found in many soldiers). Note that the pathologically elevated
hyperactivity of antibody production caused by adjuvants also results
in a distraction from the other antigens that the immune system
encounters “naturally”, which must be addressed to maintain health. In
addition to the transmutation of IgA into IgE leading to allergic
reactions described shortly, the overall hyperactivity of the humoral
(antibody producing) pole of the immune system is, in this author’s
opinion, the sole cause of all autoimmune diseases. The only thing
which determines which autoimmune disease you develop is which tissues
in your body are attacked by auto-antibodies[3]. If the inside lining
of the gastrointestinal tract (the mucosa) is attacked by
auto-antibodies you develop leaky gut syndrome (which leads to food
allergies when partially digested food particles are released into the
bloodstream, are recognized as antigens foreign to the body, and elicit
an antibody response against those food particles that becomes
heightened every time that same food is eaten and released into the
bloodstream partially digested again). Crohn’s disease and colitis are
also caused by auto-antibody attack on the mucosa of the GI tract
itself. If the islet (insulin producing) cells of the pancreas are
attacked by auto-antibodies, you develop insulin dependent (juvenile)
diabetes. If the respiratory mucosa is attacked by auto-antibodies, you
develop “leaky lung” syndrome where, just as with leaky gut, antigens
recognized as foreign to the body which are inhaled are able to
traverse the lining of the respiratory tract,
causing the creation of antibodies against those antigens (usually
dust, mold, pet or pollen antigens). When these substances are inhaled
again, IgE (the pathologic form of IgA created after corruption of the
immune system due to inoculation rather than inhalation of disease)
acts as a reagin[4] and sensitizes mast and basophil cells, causing
release of their histamine and slow reacting substance granules on
contact with the allergen to produce constriction of the bronchioles
leading to asthma. This process is also responsible for the immediate
hypersensitivity reaction known as anaphylaxis, which is a potential
side effect noted in the Physician’s Desk Reference for every vaccine;
as well as the wheal and flare reaction of the skin known as hives. If
the components of the articular surface of the joints are attacked by
auto-antibodies, you develop rheumatoid (or juvenile) arthritis. If the
skin is compromised on a chronic basis, you develop “leaky skin”
syndrome, where contact antigens which could not otherwise traverse the
skin lead to skin allergies to contact antigens (a delayed
hypersensitivity reaction where inflammation occurs due to release of
soluble factors). Additionally, depending on which level of the skin is
attacked by auto-antibodies, (i.e., the epidermis or dermis), you
develop eczema, psoriasis or scleroderma. If the kidney tissue is
attacked by auto-antibodies, you develop one of the many types of
nephritis, depending on which component of renal tissue is attacked
(for example, with glomerulonephritis, the basement membrane of the
glomerular apparatus within the kidney (which filters blood to form
urine) is attacked by auto-antibodies, thus allowing protein to escape
from the serum into the urine). If you develop auto-antibodies against
thyroid gland tissue, you develop Grave’s disease. If you develop
auto-antibodies against the tissue of the thymus gland (which is
crucial in T cell production and function), you develop myasthenia
gravis. If you develop auto-antibodies against the very DNA in the
nucleus of all cells, you develop systemic Lupus (thus, the autoimmune
potential of DNA vaccines being developed now is self evident; worse
yet, DNA components from these vaccines can be incorporated into your
DNA, leading to actual genetic changes which could cause extinction of
all (vaccinated) life on the Earth, as will be discussed shortly). And
on, and on, and on. The brain and spinal cord can also be attacked with
auto-antibodies (which this author refers to as vaccine induced
encephalitis), leading to a variety of neurological diseases. The most
severe of these, leading to death, are sudden infant death syndrome
(SIDS) and most cases of “shaken baby syndrome”. If components of the
myelin sheath (the insulating covering of nerve fibers which allows
proper nerve conduction) or the actual neurofilaments themselves are
attacked by auto-antibodies, the resultant condition is determined
solely by the location of the damage done. Such neurological conditions
include but are not limited to minimal brain dysfunction, ADD/ADHD,
learning disabilities, mental retardation, criminal behavior, the
spectrum of pervasive developmental disorders (including autism),
multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease, Guillen
Barre’, seizure disorders, etc., etc. etc. (Please note that other
factors are also sometimes involved, such as: the organism which causes
Lymes disease, aspartame and mercury in cases of MS; aspartame in
seizures; or pesticides in cases of Parkinson’s). Thus, when detoxing
to reverse these diseases, these other substances must also be removed
to obtain a full recovery. However, the corruption of the immune system
caused by the injection of vaccines is a key component in these disease
states leading to immune malfunction, and is the reason why an autistic
child may also have leaky gut or eczema, etc. Note that myelin
production, for the most part, does not begin until after birth. Most
myelin is apparently laid down by age 5 years and usually completed by
age 10
years, judging by the level of success at various ages in reversing
autistic and other neurological VIDS symptoms that this author has
observed in hundreds of children by detoxing the viruses with
homeopathic nosodes[5], and repairing the immune corruption by
simultaneous administration of bovine colostrum (i.e., after 10 years
of age, the ability to stop and repair auto-antibody induced damage in
the myelin sheath and neurofilaments themselves is dramatically
decreased). In summary, the hyperactivity of the humoral arm of the
immune system in autoimmune disease is caused by adjuvants added just
for that purpose. However, the damage caused by the autoimmunity itself
(i.e., antibody against self) has several mechanisms, including the
following:
1. The antigens present in the culture media itself cannot be
completely filtered and separated from the organisms cultured thereon.
Thus, any antibodies formed against antigens from the culture cells
themselves (for example myelin basic protein from chick embryos or the
13 vaccines which now contain aborted human fetal cells) can
cross-react to form an autoimmune reaction against the myelin basic
protein in your myelin sheath, etc. 2. Molecular mimicry is due to
similarity of proteins contained in organisms and mammals. (For
example, the measles virus is made up of proteins similar to myelin
basic protein; thus, antibodies formed against the measles virus
antigens subsequently also cause an auto-antibody attack against myelin
basic protein in the myelin sheath due to cross reactivity of these
antibodies).
3. Formation of immune complexes occur as antigens and antibodies
interlock into clusters which can then become trapped in various
tissues, especially the kidneys, lung, skin, joints, or blood vessels.
Once trapped, these complexes then set off an inflammatory reaction
which lead to further tissue damage. 4. Intentional inclusion of
antigens in vaccines to cause formation of antibodies that attack
specific hormones or races (for example, experiments done on women of
childbearing age in the Philippines and probably other locations where
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin)[6] placed into vaccines given these
women resulted in antibodies against the HCG hormone, and subsequent
spontaneous abortion thus occurred when the women became pregnant. It
is also this author’s hypothesis that the epidemic of vitiligo in
people of color (hypo pigmentation of skin caused by auto-antibody
attack on melanocytes[7]) is also occurring due to intentional
inclusion of melanin in vaccines given to people of color. Another
heinous (and obviously genocidal) creation of the Anti-Hippocratics is
the DNA vaccines now being developed. These vaccines contain plasmids,
which are closed rings of recombinant DNA that make their way into the
nucleus of a cell and instruct the cell to synthesize encoded antigenic
proteins[8]. Thus, the very genetic makeup of the individual, plant or
animal will be altered to produce a never ending supply of antigens to
distract the immune system. These genetic changes will remain as cell
division occurs, and will be transmissible to offspring. This is the
TRUE “mark of the beast” , and could lead to extinction and/or
modification (including behavioral) of any group inoculated. In
addition to the above phenomena which lead to simultaneous depression
of cellular immune function and hyperactivity of humoral immune
function, vaccines also contain other toxic substances which can cause
serious side effects themselves. The following ingredients are actually
listed on the CDC website with this introductory statement: “Many
things in today’s world, including food and medicines, have chemicals
added to them to prevent the growth of germs and reduce spoilage.”
Translation: you’re already toxic, so what’s the big deal with adding
more poison? This author’s answer to that question is that any
immunotoxin can end up being the “straw that breaks the immune system’s
back” in that individual, leading to dis-ease.
This is where genetics is key; i.e., not that what disease you develop
is actually caused by some “gene” in most cases; but rather that your
genes determine the strength of your immune system (i.e., how many
assaults your immune system can take before it reaches critical mass,
and you develop a dis-ease). Some additional ingredients in vaccines
(as listed by the CDC on their website) include antibiotics, aluminum
gels, formaldehyde, monosodium glutamate (MSG), egg protein, and
sulfites. Thus, we have antibiotics (which you could be allergic to);
aluminum (which when combined with silicon deficiency, results in the
neurofibrillary tangles seen in Alzheimer’s disease); formaldehyde (a
toxic carcinogenic substance used to preserve dead people); MSG ( a
potent excitotoxin[9] which, like aspartame, can cause seizures, brain
tumors, etc.); egg protein (to which you could have a life threatening
anaphylactic reaction); and sulfites (another toxin which we are
advised not to consume much of orally, but in vaccines, it is injected
directly into the body). Is this not a veritable witch’s brew of
chemicals, organisms, and animal parts? What the CDC does NOT list is
that 13 vaccines at present (and more are in the works) are actually
cultured on aborted human fetal tissues (go to www.cogforlife.org for
more info). THIS IS CANNIBALISM. Note in this list that they also fail
to mention the ethyl-mercury containing preservative thimerosol, which
has been the only dangerous substance in vaccines to receive mainstream
media attention (albeit most of that being disinformation) after the
explosion in the rate of occurrence of autism in the last generation
became self-evident proof that vaccines are the causative factor. For,
although the scientists working for the medical mafia continue to use
statistics to twist and spin their data to make us beLIEve that
vaccines are not the cause, too many thousands of parents have watched
their children enter the downward spiral into autism after their
children received the vaccine which was the straw that broke the back
of their child’s immune system. No matter what the “white coats” tell
these parents, they know the truth! Mercury (also in dental amalgam
fillings) is a highly toxic heavy metal, has been documented to cause
cancer, and can be absorbed through the digestive track, skin, and
respiratory track. Mercury is 1,000 times more toxic than lead, and is
second only to uranium as the most toxic metal. If children receive all
recommended vaccines, they will receive many times the “allowable safe
limit” for mercury in the first two years of life (as if there is such
a thing as a “safe” amount of a toxic poison). Yet, even after
Congressional hearings instigated by Congressman Dan Burton (whose own
grandchild became autistic after receiving vaccines) resulted in the
FDA requesting (not ordering) vaccine manufacturers to remove this
toxic heavy metal from their products, mercury is still present in many
vaccines. Although the symptoms of mercury poisoning have been
described as identical to the symptoms of autism, it should be noted
that most children who descend into the hellish state known as autism
do so after the MMR vaccine. The MMR vaccine is one of the few vaccines
that do not contain mercury. Thus, it is self-evident that the removal
of mercury will not make vaccines “safe”. (This is why the mercury is
the only thing being addressed at all; because when the people reading
this paper realize that the very mechanism by which vaccines corrupt
the immune system means that NO vaccine is safe and effective; there
will be an evolution of consciousness where the structure of lies
telling us vaccines are safe and effective disintegrates.) The good
news is that these VIDS can be reversed using natural remedies
(especially homeopathy) contained in the Hippocrates Protocol
(www.drcarley.com). This “surgical strike” detoxification approach
which has the potential to reverse ALL of the aforementioned conditions
under the VIDS umbrella as long as detoxification
is started early enough will be the one truth put on top of the
mountain of lies (that vaccines are safe and effective) that will cause
the entire mountain of vaccine lies to crumble. Thus, the
vaccine-induced holocaust (where instead of people being put in
concentration camps, the concentration camps are being put into the
people) will finally be put to an end. In this author’s opinion, it
will be the reversal of VIDS (especially autism) in children and
reversal of Gulf War Syndrome in the vaccine damaged soldiers and vets
of the American Gulf War Veterans Association (www.agwva.org) led by
Peter Kawaja which will stop this holocaust on humanity caused by
vaccines, since the reversal of dis-ease subsequent to detoxification
of the vaccines makes it self-evident that the vaccines caused the
problem. Unfortunately, we can no longer pretend that this epidemic of
VIDS is merely a “mistake” made by well intentioned, albeit misguided
mad scientists. Because it’s even worse than the above, folks…we are
talking TREASON and CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, PETS, and even PLANTS,
(which are also being genetically modified to create vaccines). The
evidence for this is as follows: As concern for population growth
started to grow and the final plans to bring in the New World Order
were put in place, this lie called vaccines was transformed into pure
evil, as it was realized that such delivery systems could be used to
intentionally cause disease, which is now being done under the US Code,
Title 50, Chapter 32, § 1520 and 1524. You can read it for yourself at
your local library. This law has been in place since the 1960's, and it
was last modified in April of 2000. The only stipulation made for
experimentation on human subjects is that local civilian officials be
notified 30 days before the experiment is started. Section 1524 adds
that the Secretary of Defense may enter into agreements with the
Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide support for
vaccination programs through use of excess peacetime biological weapons
(i.e., weapons of mass destruction). In April 2000, § 1520 (a) was
passed to put alleged restrictions on the use of human subjects for
testing of chemical or biological agents after a caller on C Span
mentioned this law in 1999, which revealed this treasonous law to a
huge audience of listeners (including this author, who has been
including it in lectures and written materials since that call came
into “Washington Journal”). However, the exceptions written to Title
50, chapter 32 under § 1520 subsection (b) in the 2000 law passed by
our aiders and abettors of treason in Congress not only loophole back
in a test carried out for "any peaceful purpose that is related to a
medical, therapeutic, pharmaceutical, agricultural, industrial, or
research activity"; but add that such biological and chemical warfare
agents can now be also used for any law enforcement purpose, including
"any purpose related to riot control” (just in case those C Span
listeners should actually get off the couch at the horror of what the
traitors in Washington, D.C. are doing to God’s people). Subsection (c)
of this law now mandates that “informed consent” be required. In
reality, not a single vaccine has ever been tested for its long term
side effects (including carcinogenic potential). Additionally, the
intentional introduction into vaccines of stealth viruses, (including
man-made viruses that cause cancer, mycoplasma and the HIV virus),
antigens which target certain races, and silicon and/or DNA chips in
the future makes it self evident that informed consent is impossible,
as it would initiate impeachment proceedings and war crimes trials
against every “public servant” involved in perpetrating these crimes
against the American people, in violation of the Nuremberg Code (which
was written after the end of WW II to prevent the barbaric experiments
that occurred in the Nazi concentration camps) . What most people don’t
know is that the top level mad scientists from Nazi Germany were
actually brought to the
United States after the war through “Operation Paperclip”, and have
been continuing their work to this day in places like Brookhaven labs,
Cold Spring Harbor and Plum Island in this author’s backyard on Long
Island. In 1969 the U.S. military/CIA and Rockefeller directed National
Academy of Sciences-National Research Council (NAS-NRC) announced that
a research program to explore the feasibility of "creating a new
infective microorganism..[HIV]..which would be refractory to the
immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to
maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease" could be
completed at a total cost of $10 million. Yes, this is what your tax
dollars are going towards, folks. But hang on to your hat, because it
only gets worse. Dr. James R. Shannon, former director of the National
Institute of Health reported in December, 2003 that “the only safe
vaccine is one that is never used”. However, the reverberating truth,
“the shot heard round the world” which will lead to the evolution of
consciousness necessary to stop the holocaust against humanity known as
vaccinations, will be that not only are vaccinations not safe or
effective, but that they are actually weapons of mass destruction being
perpetrated upon humanity in the name of health, for the purpose of
genocide and to bring in the New World Order. Part 2 of the genocidal
plan could drop anytime with activation of the Model State Health
Emergency Powers Act whenever the next fabricated terrorist attack
using biological agents occurs. Worse yet, the Congressional traitors
in Washington posing as public “servants” are doing all they can to
pass “Codex” legislation which will make the natural remedies and
supplements used in the Hippocrates Protocol developed by this author
to reverse all dis-eases only available by prescription. So, you didn’t
hear about that on your local news station either? Please go to the
site of John Hamill of the International Alliance for Health Freedom
(who reversed his schizophrenia symptoms with these natural supplements
and has dedicated his life to stopping Codex from passing) at
www.iahf.com . The most heinous, bone chilling and evil piece of this
puzzle has been revealed to the world by an American hero named Habib
Peter Kawaja, who worked in the late 1980’s as a security and counter
terrorism expert for the United States government (a service for which
he has been rewarded with the murder of his wife, torching of his home,
issuance of a War Powers Act search warrant to (they thought)
confiscate all his evidence, illegal IRS liens on all subsequent
income, and multiple attempts on his own life, all funded by YOUR tax
dollars). Please go to www.agwva.org/mission.htm and read some of the
34 counts that Mr. Kawaja brought against the domestic traitors to
America (in both their individual and governmental capacities) in a
federal lawsuit in which the perpetrators, again, used your tax dollars
to hire themselves attorneys from the Department of “Justice” whose
defense of their war criminal clients was that they are “immune, under
color of law[10]”. (You can listen to Mr. Kawaja on one of his multiple
internet radio shows, including “What’s Ailing America?” which he
co-hosts with this author at www.againstthegrain.info every Monday and
Friday at 11 PM, EST). Wake up, America-it's getting very late….it is
time for the mountain of lies to crumble. Please spread the world to
everyone you know….we will make it happen! The time to stop chopping at
branches and get to the root of this evil is now ! Refer everyone you
know to www.againstthegrain.info, where in the spring of 2005, Habib
Peter Kawaja, as prosecutor for the people, and this author will
commence trials on the internet against the traitors of America for
their crimes against humanity. These traitors include William Atkinson,
MD, MPH of the National Immunization Program at the CDC. On December 9,
2004, Dr. Atkinson informed a NYS Department of Health minion that a
child to whom this author had given a medical exemption
from further inoculation “should be vaccinated unless he has an
anaphylactic allergy to hepatitis B vaccine” as there is “no such
syndrome [as VIDS]”. Yet, in a document published by the CDC on May 4,
2000 (# 99-6194) entitled “Vaccine Information Statements; What You
Need to Know”, on page 9 the following is printed under the heading
“The Law (Recording Patient Information and Reporting Adverse Events):
42 U.S.C. § 300aa-25. Recording and Reporting of Information, (b)
Reporting (2) “A report under paragraph (1) respecting a vaccine shall
include the time periods after the administration of such vaccine
within which vaccine-related illnesses, disabilities, injuries, or
conditions the symptoms and manifestations of such illnesses,
disabilities, injuries, or conditions, or DEATHS occur, and the
manufacturer and lot number of the vaccine.” Thus, while Dr. Atkinson
informed this author on January 8, 2005 that “having a judge in the
Bronx Family Court “qualify” you as an “expert witness” neither makes
you an expert, nor proves the existence of so called “vaccine induced
disease syndrome”; the CDC’s own documents refer to the federal mandate
for such to be reported to the secretary. Dr. Atkinson, who received a
copy of the draft of this paper on 12/30/04, has not offered a single
rebuttal to the mechanism whereby the mechanism of VIDS is explained in
this paper. Ergo, this author hereby formally charges Dr. Atkinson and
his co-conspirators in the CDC with the following counts, including but
not limited to:
01.) False statements within a Government Agency, Title 18 USC §
35.1001.
02.) WAR CRIMES - crimes when death occurs, Title 18 USC § 34.
03.) Concealment, removal - Title 18 USC § 2071.
04.) Aiding and Abetting, Title 18 USC § 3.
05.) Obstruction of Justice, Title 18 USC § 1505 / USC § 2 (26).
06.) Defrauding America, Title 18, USC § 1101 (25). These charges also
surround covert counter-terrorism activities in a lawsuit (go to
www.agwva.org/mission.htm) brought by Peter Kawaja and the
International Security Group, Inc., (1994) as Plaintiffs v. various
[named] Agents (agencies/US attorneys etc) of the U.S. Government and
100 John Does (Bush Administration), and will also be submitted to the
People of the United States and the World in the aforementioned
internet trial to be conducted in the Spring of 2005. The charges laid
in Kawaja's suit have never been refuted by the accused. Instead, the
United States Government made a determination to appoint the US
Attorney's Office to represent the Defendants, thereby admitting to the
criminalities (and guilt). This decision to appoint "government"
attorneys and the U.S. Attorney's Office to represent the Defendants
was made after an initial response to the Plaintiff (Kawaja) filing
Suit, and places these individuals, sworn to uphold the Constitution of
the United States and defend against terrorists (whether foreign or
domestic) into the defendant’s box as well. If the People lead, the
“leaders” will follow…and we have found a true leader in Habib Peter
Kawaja. SILENCE IS CONSENT. If you do nothing, before long highly
trained Special Operations commandos with state of the art weaponry
will be used in the U.S. to “execute quarantine and certain health
laws”, including the Model State Health Emergency Powers Act passed in
all states where, following another domestically perpetrated biological
scare (such as the anthrax mailings to the Congress), a solution in the
form of a vaccine will be offered only to those who will accept the
national ID chip being injected into them. All others will be
considered a danger and threat to society, hunted down, and imprisoned
in concentration camps already built or be killed. Americans will
welcome this solution, and turn in their neighbors or friends in order
to survive themselves. This was all predicted by Peter Kawaja in 1994
when he wrote “The Saddest Chapter of America’s History”. If you are
not part of the solution, therefore, you are part of the problem.
Please do all you can (including telling others about the internet
trial and donating whatever you can at www.agwva.org) to make this
happen. It is now in your hands, People of the United States of
America. Respectfully submitted by Rebecca Carley, MD

[1] “IMMUNOLOGY” by Ronald D. Guttman, MD, Professor of Medicine,
McGill University, et. al., (ISBN # 0-89501-009-7), 1983. [2]
Pathologic = pertaining to or caused by disease [3] Auto antibodies =
antibodies produced by the body that attacks its own tissues. [4]
Reagin = antibody of a specialized immunoglobulin class (IgE) which
attaches to tissue cells of the same species from which it is derived,
and which interacts with its antigen to induce the release of histamine
and other vasoactive amines. [5] A nosode is a homeopathically prepared
remedy, made from a disease or a pathological product. Nosodes are used
in the same way as vaccines; they sensitize the body, prompting the
immune system to react (and detox, or eliminate, the offending agent).
However, as they are extremely dilute and oral in application, they do
not lead to the corruption of the immune system caused by inoculation
with disease. [6] Human chorionic gonadotropin = the hormone produced
when women first become pregnant [7] Melanocytes = melanin producing
cells in skin [8] “GENETIC VACCINES”, Scientific American, July 1999,
pgs 50-57 @ p. 52. [9] Excitotoxins are usually amino acids, such as
glutamate and aspartate. These special amino acids cause particular
brain cells to become excessively excited, to the point they will

227, 229. Acts “under color of any law” of a State include not only
acts done by State officials within the bounds or limits of their
lawful authority, but also acts done without and beyond the bounds of
their lawful authority; provided that, in order for unlawful acts of an
official to be done “under color of any law”, the unlawful acts must be
done while such official is purporting or pretending to act in the
performance of his official duties; that is to say, the unlawful acts
must consist in an abuse or misuse of power which is possessed by the
official only because he is an official; and the unlawful acts must be
of such a nature or character, and be committed under such
circumstances, that they would not have occurred but for the fact that
the person committing them was an official then and there exercising
his official powers outside the bounds of lawful authority. 42 U.S.C.A.

Colleges (AAMA), Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) and the
Association of Teachers of Preventive Medicine (ATPM). There are
respectable and qualified researchers in state and private universities
who do not have a medical school or a school of public health

The
greatest contribution CDC could make to the safety and health of the
public is to begin a dialogue on the delivery of health care in our
communities in a non-partisan, non-ideological, open discussion.
Promote objective reviews and educational forums to educate the public
on both the short-comings and the advantages of our current approach to
health care delivery. Leave no stones unturned. Review the AMA, the
health insurance companies, our legal system, the educational system,
and federal funding. Present alternative approaches that other
countries have employed to avoid our deficiencies and report
objectively their failures and successes. If the American public had
the objective information they need to evaluate our health care system,
we would not have the system we now have and millions of lives would be
saved annually. This is an annual loss greater than any plaque or war
our country has endured. This could be the number one accomplishment of

Currently,
there is infrastructure in place to track the distribution of childhood
vaccines through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) network but there is
no similar infrastructure or informational network for adults. A
Vaccines for Adults (VFA) program that incorporated influenza and
pneumococcal vaccines would provide the basic infrastructure needed to
distribute vaccines in the case of a pandemic and would make vaccines
available to undervaccinated segments of the adult population. Some of
this infrastructure was activated during the recent flu vaccine
shortages. In addition, it would be possible to incorporate community
organizations such as Fire Departments to administer vaccines to
adults. With a VFA, manufacturers would keep distribution records in
the same manner that they keep VFC records currently. This information

Community Preparedness and Response: the 18 themes for this initiative
cover quite well the types of research needed to address bioterrorism
and other public health threats. The AADR suggests that, within
research activities such as integrating traditional and nontraditional
data systems to improve threat identification, assessing optimal roles
for practitioners, preparing key personnel and identifying shortages in
the workforce, the CDC consider the use of the dental office team.
Suggestions in this regard have been made by the ADA and by a consensus
workshop held in 2003 and sponsored by CDC, NIH, AADR, ADA, ADEA,ASTDD,
et al. Dental offices are distributed across the community and can
serve as an excellent surveillance resource, by observing and reporting
characteristic lesions and /or unexplained patterns of employee
absences or patients’ missed appointments. Dental offices may be also
used as “mini-hospitals” if local hospitals are overwhelmed or when it
is desirable to avoid concentrating patients in a single location.
Dentists may also be used to provide treatment for cranial and facial
injuries, take medical histories, administer CPR, and perform a host of
other medical augmentation procedures. Saliva-based diagnostics are
available or under development that are capable of rapidly identifying
anthrax, lead, and other toxins.

This

specific individual radionuclide analytical methods that are highly
unlikely for radiological terrorist implementation would not be cost
efficient. Alpha counting banks, for example, are very sample

The draft list of priorities is comprehensive, thoughtful and timely. I
can not think of additional, crucial, areas of concentration, but
suggest the following two areas of emphasis: physical injuries and
mental health consequences of disasters and terrorist incidents. While
the US has undertaken massive (and appropriate) investments in
preparedness activities to address possible chemical, biological and
radiological disasters, the fact remains that the vast majority of
terrorist-related morbidity and mortality to date has been traumatic in
nature.
A key question is how terrorist-related injuries differ from domestic
injury patterns and what preparations are necessary to respond to these
differences? To answer this question, in addition to the descriptive
epidemiology, additional comparative analytic studies are necessary.
Variables that are associated with severe injury and fatality must be
identified. These variables should be amenable to rapid ascertainment
by responding personnel. They should contribute in a meaningful manner
to a model for prediction of survival in trauma patients. Additional
questions include: What are the types, prevalence and incidence of
fatal and non-fatal injuries? What are the demographic characteristics,
including race, ethnicity and socio-economic status, of the affected?
How are victims transported. What were the treatments? What were the
outcomes? This kind of information is crucial for medical and public
health professionals and community planners and policy makers to
prepare for the possibility of terrorist incidents and disasters.
Second, recognizing that the aim of terrorism is to terrorize,
epidemiologic data on the behavioral consequences of disasters is
essential to help guide relief and recovery efforts. Such information
has implications for medical and public health response to surge
capacity needs. It has been noted that the effort “required to collect
the information necessary to provide apt and well-directed aid is more
than justified by the improved results” . Yet, there are no uniform
definitions among the multiple sources of health information , and
collecting data is difficult. Data on mental health care needs and
service requirements after disasters even more difficult to define and
obtain.
Thanks for this opportunity to comment.

consider supporting Trauma Centers in funding for Disasters. Trauma
Centers are having difficulty staying afloat financially. Should a
disaster of any magnitude strike anywhere, the public will be heading
to the closest trauma center whether they need to be there or not.
Trauma Centers are faced with budget cuts annually. Help for the
centers is needed. I am not talking about disaster equipment - hazmat
tents and the like, but actual financial support just to stay in
business. Monies should be set aside from taxes placed on cigarettes,
alcohol. and the sales of large SUVs - these are at the root of many
traumatic incidents occuring daily that is largely ignored by the
government. A portion of the taxes placed on the above items should go
directly to the states to be distributed to each verified trauma center
within the state. A simple idea that could make a world of difference

consider addressing pediatric populations, particularly in the critical
settings of schools, communities, and medical centers. In the threat of
a disaster, pediatric populations are often lost in the shuffle and not
considered in preparedness efforts. However, in an actual disaster,
pediatric populations are often the most drastically impacted.
Pediatric populatins also tax our preparedness efforts - think for
example of mothers with their children flooding the Emergency
Departments following threats of air-borne pathogens and overwhelming
the medical system. Schools are often targeted as sites of relief in a
disaster (such as being a Red Cross site or a place to dispense food
and water), but are rarely included in preparedness efforts focusing on
how to best help children. Crisis plans in pediatric settings can also
be iatrogenic for children - such as complete lockdowns in school
crisis situations, which worsens the impact for children who then
experience prolonged parental separation. With all community
preparedness and response research, I hope the CDC can be a leader and
consider pediatric populations not as an afterthought but as a primary
focus. |

Please
focus less on terrorism than natural disasters (in places that have
them regularly) and natural disease outbreaks. Foucusing research
dollars on terrorism seems to just add to the hype. |

while
it is very important for CDC to plan, develop and evaluate responses to
ever emerging and unknown threats, i hope CDC will also look at threats
that are much more likely to occur and are occuring daily all across
the USA and that is the meth lab, the chemicals used in them and the
high proobability of explosions... it is a human made disaster that is
quickly reaching epidemic proportions. |

Review
smallpox preparedness guidelines. Do hospitals need to be able to
vaccinate all their staff and families in a 24 hour period? The CDC
response to TV shows indicates that people will not get infected unless
there is prolonged exposure. The messages appear to be in conflict. Is
it time to mandate influenza vaccine for all health care workers? |

Would
appreciate mre information on what rural communities need to focus on
for preparedness. With limited resources, personnel and access to
supplies, how can a small community become well prepared. |

Most
leaders in tha area of emergency preparedness are not willing to focus
much effort in the area of disease outbreaks. There seems to be a
feeling or thought that there isn't much we can do to save lives in
this area. Healthcare is very much more prepared for a mass casualty or
CBERN event. |

It
appears that the area wide preparation for natural disasters as well as
chemical type exposures has been well addressed. The concern I have is
that I feel we are poorly prepared for bioterrorism and pandemics. It
appears in our area that all the federal funds have gone to fire
department and other first responders and has been used to prepare for
chemical incidents. Infection control was not even invited to
participate within the committee that worked on this issue. When
infection control expressed our concerns the response appeared to be
that by the time we identify a bioterrorism incident there will be so
many exposures that we will not be able to cope. I am employed in a 134
bed facility and we do not have the ability to shut off air handlers
and close off areas of the facility. If it is pandemic influenza, we
would probably be overwhelmed and full but could provide safe quality
care to the patients. If we are hit with bioterrorism, I feel that we
will not be able to respond safely. I do not know what the answer is as
this is a very difficult situation, however, I think it is important to
express the concerns regarding how we would handle this type of
situation. If it is a terrorist attack that would require special air
handling issues, we would be in serious trouble. This could even be
said for such diseases as SARS. |

I
believe it is critically important not to let fear mongers divert
dollars to terrorism when disease outbreaks and natural disasters are
known problems that affect many people. The infrastructure required to
deal with those things will assist in the unlikely event of a terrorist
attack, but the planning should be done with common things in mind
first. |

Community
Preparedness remains a priority issue for many of us in healthcare. We
recommend further research on transmission risk related to specific
diseases to support prudent use of limited resources. Disease specific
references will continue to be needed to guide planning in our city. |
