The Infectious Myth

Infectious Myth - Suppression of Dissent with Brian Martin - 06.16.15

David interviews Professor Brian Martin of the University of Wollongong in Episode 62. Brian has a PhD in Physics, but has taught a wide range of other subjects, and specializes in studying non-violence, whistleblowing and scientific controversies.

The subjects of the discussion are wide ranging, from military and intelligence leaks to nuclear war and nuclear power to vaccination, nutrition, wireless devices and fluoridation. It is not so much the specific subject areas that are discussed as much as how people fight against corruption, e.g. by whistleblowing, or by scientifically studying the damages of industrial and medical products. And how the establishment attempts to squash this dissent. But not all is doom and gloom, Brian believes that it was citizen movements that ended atmospheric nuclear testing and resulted in strong laws against tobacco sales and marketing, so concerted effort can make a difference.

Sexual Assault and Justice - 06.09.15

In Episode 61 David tackles the difficult subject of false claims of sexual assault. Society needs to deal seriously with the historical tragedy of male sexual violence, mostly against women, but also against other men. But recent high profile cases illustrate that false claims are a real problem and create real injustices against innocent men. David examines some prominent cases in detail and highlights some of the legal and moral issues. Although false claims of rape or sexual assault are rare, some of the cases have been so dramatic that there is a risk that they will result in over-criminalization of sexual relations. Also, society may still make women feel shame over expressing their sexual desire, and in cases when this becomes public, the shame they are made to feel may make some of them argue that the sex wasn't consensual due to their age, consumption of alcohol, etc.

Jim West on Ultrasound - 05.26.15

In Episode 60 David discusses the dangers of ultrasound with Jim West, author of an annotated bibliography of research from China. Once Western countries, in particular the US, moved past the evidence that ultrasound was neither safe nor effective, research shut down, and the negative findings were forgotten. But in China, starting in the 1980s, and continuing until recently, research on the biological effects of ultrasound on the fetus was quite common, performing ultrasound on fetuses that were about to be aborted, to avoid ethical issues. This research lends evidence that the extremely high frequencies of ultrasound, and the ever increasing power, can cause cellular changes at the microscopic level. And there is some epidemiological evidence to suggest that there are increased risks of diseases like autism in babies that had the most ultrasounds while in the womb.

 

Jim is author of 50 Human Studies, in Utero, Conducted in Modern China, Indicate Extreme Risk for Prenatal Ultrasound: A New Bibliography which can be purchased from Amazon as an eBook. A paperback edition is coming soon.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X06QDYS

Who Gets Free Expression? - 05.19.15

In Episode 59 David discusses freedom of expression, not just freedom of speech, but even the freedom to carry a gun. David chooses examples from the new YouTube-inspired phenomenon of FHITP used to sandbag interviews by female reporters, the right to openly carry a gun, the censorship of Gary Null by KPFA in Berkeley, and the response to Seymour Hersh’s new article claiming that just about everything we’ve been told about the Osama Bin Laden raid is false.

Dr. Jayne Donegan on Vaccines - 05.12.15

Dr. Jayne Donegan is a Homeopath and General Practitioner in England. Starting from a mainstream position, based on what she learned in medical school, she gradually questioned vaccination more and more, and also looked at the roots of what are believed to be purely infectious diseases, like diphtheria and measles, including social and environmental conditions, nutrition and yes, even love. Eventually her skepticism about vaccines got her in trouble with medical authorities but after an epic battle the General Medical Council agreed that her viewpoints were scientifically based, and she was able to retain her medical license.

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny on Vaccines - 05.05.15

David talks with Dr. Sherri Tenpenny about vaccines.

Dr. Sherri J. Tenpenny is an osteopathic medical doctor, board certified in three medical specialties. From 1986 to 1998, she was a full time Emergency Medicine physician and the director of the Emergency Department in Findlay, Ohio. In 1996, she opened a center for Integrative medicine. Patients have come from nearly all 50 states and 14 countries to get well using a combination of conventional and holistic therapies. Dr. Tenpenny has also produced several books and DVDs. 

David and Sherri discuss the side effects of vaccines, the history and politics of vaccines, and the future of even more vaccines, provided in an even more coercive fashion. It is truly a scary time for people with concerns about vaccines, especially (but not only) parents, and it is time to get educated and get politically active. You cannot rely on the political system or the mainstream media to bring sanity back.

Free Speech Redux - 04.28.15

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

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.

Liam Scheff and the Philosophy of Life, Love and Liberty - 04.07.15

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

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.
