Free Speech Redux - 04.28.15
Wednesday Apr 29, 2015
Wednesday Apr 29, 2015
David tackles free speech again on Episode 56 of “The Infectious Myth”. He starts with reservations about the elevation of Charlie Hebdo to sainthood, reading from remarks of Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau, and both sides of the writers boycotting an upcoming PEN gala because of the writer’s organization award to Charlie Hebdo.
Vaccination is clearly a new free speech issue, with nary a discouraging word being heard in the Mainstream Media. The MMR vaccine is a strange new poster child for pro-vaxxers, strange because it is a vaccine with potentially life-altering or deadly side effects against three diseases that very rarely are. David reads from the Merck vaccine manual, discusses a strange new study that is being used to claim that MMR vaccination doesn’t cause autism, and also reads from a recent rebuttal that he wrote to a Canadian magazine promoting mandatory vaccination. Not surprising that the magazine refused to publish it, so you heard it here first.

Wallace Thornhill and the Electric Universe - 04.21.15
Tuesday Apr 21, 2015
Tuesday Apr 21, 2015
In episode 55 David Crowe speaks with Wallace Thornhill about the “Electric Universe”. Wallace is among a number of scientists who believe that it is electrical forces that drive the universe, including our universe, and that gravity can be thought of as simply a weak electrical force. While some of these ideas seem outlandish, they do offer a simpler explanation for many phenomena seen in the universe, such as material being ejected from black holes, signs that two stars that mainstream theory says should be far apart (different red shifts) are actually connected, and absurdities such as an infinite universe that is expanding. It could explain obviously non-random shapes in the universe, such as spiral galaxies.
Is it possible that Einstein is wrong, very wrong?
At the very least, this discussion will make you think.

In episode 54 David Crowe speaks with writer and philosopher, Liam Scheff about love, sex, politics and the future of the planet we share. If you didn’t think that AIDS, art, vaccines, peak oil, sexuality and prehistoric cultures were interlinked, you’ll understand after listening to this episode.

Trace Amounts (of Mercury) with Eric Gladen - 03.31.15
Tuesday Mar 31, 2015
Tuesday Mar 31, 2015
In episode 53 David discusses the film “Trace Amounts”, subtitled, “Autism, Mercury and the Hidden Truth”, with film maker Eric Gladen. But he is more than just a film maker, he suffered tremendously after receiving a tetanus vaccine in 2004, containing the ethyl mercury preservative Thimerosal. His symptoms were very similar to those of a child with autism, and it was not until he took chelation therapy to remove the mercury that his symptoms started to regress. His personal experience led him to lead this film project.
The discussion focuses on the scientific evidence that the ethyl mercury in Thimerosal is poisonous, the very active role the CDC has played in covering this up, and denying it, as well as the current use of this toxic preservative in vaccines, such as the influenza vaccine. Finally they discuss Eric’s own experience, and how he found that removing the mercury from his body helped him eliminate devastating physical and psychological ill effects and regain good health.
More information can be found at http://traceamounts.com, and the film will be available for rent or purchase on April 2, 2015.
