SCIENTIFIC HISTORY

Dr. Ebright on the History of Funding for Bioweapons and Potential Pandemic Pathogens

In a previous interview, Richard Ebright of Rutgers University has detailed the year-long campaign by a coterie of scientists and their allies in the science-writing community to dismiss the possibility that a lab leak in China may have started the pandemic. 

In this interview, Ebright explains the two-decade history of funding and lack of safety efforts in pandemic studies and a figure central to blocking oversight of this research—Anthony Fauci, who runs the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

“Responsibility for assessing biosafety and biosecurity needs to be taken out of the hands of the federal agencies that perform and fund research,” Ebright tells The DisInformation Chronicle. “We do this with nuclear safety, through the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. We don’t have the Department of Energy, which funds nuclear research, determining rules for nuclear safety.”

COURT RULING

Court Rules That Government Has Failed to Warn People About the Dangers of 5G and Wireless Radiation

A recent landmark court ruling in a case brought by Children’s Health Defense (CHD) against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) should concern anyone who uses wireless technology (cell phones, iWatches and Wi-Fi), especially parents of children who use these devices.

On Aug. 13, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled the FCC’s 2019 decision that its 1996 guidelines adequately protect the public from non-cancer harms from 5G and wireless-based technologies was capricious, arbitrary and not evidence-based.

In 2019, after an alleged six-year review of the science on the potential harms of 5G and wireless technology, the FCC concluded the evidence showed no harm and therefore its 1996 guidelines are sufficient to protect the public and no review of the guidelines was warranted.

PESTICIDES

Biden’s EPA to Finally Ban Chlorpyrifos, A Toxic Pesticide

The Biden administration will ban the use of chlorpyrifos on all food crops, citing potential risks to human health.

The common insecticide has been applied to a variety of crops since the 1960s, including broccoli and cranberries, and has been linked to learning disabilities in children.

The Environmental Protection Agency announced the move last week, reversing a 2017 decision by the Trump administration. For years, agricultural giants and the chemical industry have battled with environmentalists, public health experts and farmworkers over the future use of the chemical.

Thank you to all of our supporters for getting us to the finish line by signing our alerts, taking action and contacting the EPA!

BAN GOF

Stop the Mad Science: Weaponizing Viruses & Microbes

The Chinese People’s Liberation Army and the Pentagon, aided and abetted by Silicon Valley, Big Pharma, Biden’s top scientific advisors (Lander, Fauci, Collins, Gates, et al) and the global economic elite, want us to believe that so-called “dual use” (military and medical) “Gain-of-Function” experiments, now being carried out across the world, are legal, safe, and necessary. The myth that reckless dual-use genetic engineering and animal passaging can be carried out safely is a criminal lie with now obvious catastrophic consequences.  

It’s time to put global health ahead of partisan politics, Big Pharma profiteering, and the ongoing superpower biological weapons arms race. It’s time to “bullet proof” the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention and close the loopholes that have allowed bioweapon engineering to be carried out under the guise of bio-defense or bio-medical research. It’s time to implement mandatory global inspections (like we basically have for nuclear weapons), and mandatory, draconian penalties for violations. Otherwise the next pandemic, whether deliberately or accidentally-released, could put an end to us all.

SIGN THE PETITION: Stop the Genetic Engineering of Viruses! Shut Down All Biowarfare Labs Immediately!

Joe Rogan, America’s Top Podcaster, is a COVID-Truth-Teller

Millions of populist-minded Americans, left and right, watch Joe Rogan’s podcast every week.

Here’s a recent 15-minute clip where Rogan delves into vaccine passports, vaccinated people becoming infected and spreading COVID, the demise of American democracy, and other hot topics.

Over 2.6 million people have already watched this YouTube video. Apparently YouTube is afraid to censor Rogan, no doubt because his Spotify podcasts draw up to 10 million viewers.

MILLIONS AGAINST MONSANTO

Monsanto/Bayer Beg U.S. Supreme Court for Help

Multinational monster Monsanto/Bayer filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court this week, seeking a reversal of a lower court verdict that established Bayer liable for damages from the use of its weed killer Roundup, Beyond Pesticides reported.

After purchasing Roundup-maker Monsanto in 2018, Bayer has been mired in a deluge of court battles from thousands of injured customers throughout the country who assert that their use of the glyphosate-based herbicide resulted in their cancer diagnosis.

Bayer, for its part, has consistently lost these court cases. The company’s Supreme Court petition is now regarded as its best and last chance to avert responsibility for the ongoing harm to public health caused by its carcinogenic herbicide.
