If a mainstream reporter told the truth the pillars of reality would crumbleBy Jon Rappoport Telling the truth, of course, must lead to publishing the truth. And then follow-up investigations would be done to flesh out the story further; to prompt people with inside knowledge to emerge from their closets and confess their complicity. Im talking about a certain kind of truth, whereby a sacred cow is destroyed; the kind of cow everyone immediately believes is self-evident, universal, and vital, representing the best motives and impulses of people in power. That kind of sacred cow. A cow holding up the world, so to speak. Destroyed. There are many important lies that dont quite rate that status. If they were exposed to the light of day, people would say, Yes, its shocking, but we always had doubts. And life would go on. A monumental sacred cow has the quality of being believed in the same way people believe the sun will come up in the morning. Therefore, when it falls, the shock is volcanic. However, I need to add this disclaimer. Most minds and eyeballs simply dont notice the sacred cow falling and shattering like porcelain. It happens, but it doesnt draw attention because people will do anything they can to maintain their grip on illusion. It would take something on the order of Kansas disappearing off the map overnight to arouse the populationand even then, large numbers of people would claim it didnt happen, because it couldnt happen. So now Ill describe an example. In the summer of 2009, the world was agog as a sweeping pandemic called Swine Flu invaded their lives. The virus said to be responsible for this catastrophe was H1N1. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), whose job was to report numbers of cases, claimed there were roughly ten thousand Swine Flu victims in America. Understand: getting the numbers right was the CDCs prime task. In the absence of doing that, they had no reason to exist as an agency tracking an epidemic. In the fall of 2009, a CBS investigative reporter, Sharyl Attkisson, discovered something quite strange. She hit the motherlode of a scandal: Back in July, the CDC had stopped counting Swine Flu cases. The agency didnt make this public. It didnt put out the story to reporters. But Attkisson found out the truth. She went further. She uncovered the reason the CDC stopped counting. Here is what Attkisson wrote, on October 21, 2009, in an article posted on the CBS News website, titled, Swine Flu Cases Overestimated?: If youve been diagnosed probable or presumed 2009 H1N1 or swine flu in recent months, you may be surprised to know this: odds are you didnt have H1N1 [Swine] flu. In fact, you probably didnt have flu at all. Thats according to state-by-state test results obtained in a three-month-long CBS News investigation. In late July, the CDC abruptly advised states to stop testing for H1N1 [Swine] flu, and stopped counting individual cases. The rationale given for the CDC guidance to forego testing and tracking individual cases was: why waste resources testing for H1N1 flu when the government has already confirmed theres an epidemic? we [CBS News] asked all 50 states for their statistics on state lab-confirmed H1N1 [Swine Flu cases] prior to the halt of individual testing and counting in July. The results reveal a pattern that surprised a number of health care professionals we consulted. The vast majority of cases were negative for H1N1 as well as seasonal flu, despite the fact that many states were specifically testing patients deemed to be most likely to have H1N1 flu, based on symptoms and risk factors, such as travel to Mexico. And the staggering capper on this tale? Roughly three weeks after Attkissons Swine Flu revelations appeared in print, the CDC, obviously in great distress over the exposure, decided to double down. The best lie to tell would be a huge lie. Here, from a November 12, 2009, WebMD article is the CDCs response: Shockingly, 14 million to 34 million U.S. residents the CDCs best guess is 22 million came down with H1N1 swine flu by Oct. 17 [2009]. (22 million cases of Swine Flu in US, by Daniel J. DeNoon) I interviewed Sharyl Attkisson. She told me the following: we discovered through our FOI efforts that before the CDC mysteriously stopped counting Swine Flu cases, they had learned that almost none of the cases they had counted as Swine Flu was, in fact, Swine Flu or any sort of flu at all! The interest in the story from one [CBS] executive was very enthusiastic. He said it was the most original story hed seen on the whole Swine Flu epidemic. But others [at CBS] pushed to stop it and, in the end, no [CBS television news] broadcast wanted to touch it. We aired numerous stories pumping up the idea of an epidemic, but not the one that would shed original, new light on all the hype. It [Attkissons investigation] was fair, accurate, legally approved and a heck of a story. With the CDC keeping the true Swine Flu stats secret, it meant that many in the public took and gave their children an experimental vaccine that may not have been necessary. In other words, the whole Swine Flu episode was a dud. A hoax. It was exposed on the CBS News website. Beyond that, it never became a big story at CBS or any other major mainstream outlet in the world. It was squashed. To receive the full force of this hoax, you need to understand that so-called epidemics are very big business. Vaccine business. Pharma business. Government business. When those governments announce an epidemic, the public believes. The belief is on the order of religious faith. It is also scientific faith. Once announced, there is no going back. These epidemics are, like major banks, too big to fail. But Swine Flu did fail. Right out in the open. On the CBS News website. It was exposed as a grand hoax. Realizing what they had just let happen, CBS dropped the curtain. There would be no follow-up. The story wouldnt make it on to the national evening television broadcast. And most of the people who read the story on the CBS website would blink and move on. Their minds wouldnt register the implications. Kansas had just disappeared, but for them it was still there. Thats how consensus reality operates. Its there even when it isnt. Its there even after its been axed, sawed, dissolved. Its the proverbial bad penny that keeps coming back. It keeps showing up. The public is married to the whole idea of viruses. Viruses are embraced as basic seeds of medical reality. From those seeds bloom all sorts of unshakable facts about illness. Virus does this, virus causes that, prevent virus from taking hold with a shotnews about viruses is as commonplace and familiar as pots and pans are in kitchens. Everybody knows about viruses. Of course, everybody doesnt know about viruses, but they think they do. And here is a case, Swine Flu, where what everybody knew as a fundamental fact of reality was wrong. The virus wasnt there. As a researcher once wrote me, Pepsi, Coke, McDonalds, ice cream, viruses. Theyre the pillars, the foundation stones. But youd be surprised how often were guessing about viruses. We say theyre there, causing a disease. We give a name to the disease, and the public salutes. Were taking a stab in the dark. If we admitted it, our whole operation would crash You can doubt what the President is saying. You can doubt the Congress, the FBI, the CIA, and the IRS. You can doubt all the mega-corporations. You can doubt Mickey Mouse and the Pope. But when you doubt viruses, youre committing heresy, because medical science is a super-religion. Its basic tenets are self-evident. They must be. They have to be. Especially when they arent. (To read about Jons mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)

I thought that Ben Carsons background as a doctor and recent board member of a vaccine manufacturer was terrifying. That was until he dropped the ball and told the half truth on live TV during the GOP debate that maybe children were getting too many vaccines together. However, believe meforced vaccinations are coming. It wont be in the form of door to door visits. They will make it so that you cant function in society without toxins injected. That means no travel, no employment, no driving, no social security, and so on. We have to fight this with every fiber of our being. Carson also works for Kelloggs pro-GMO company. Cypher CBS all other stations squash this because most of their advertising comes from the vaccine industry. Government gets $1.25 tax on every vaccine given [double that for combo shots]. Supposed to be used for Vaccine Injury Fund, but even though 3 billion has been paid out where did the other 73 billion go? Most cases filed get turned down as well. Sadly the H1N1 engineered virus is now included in all flu shots. Elderly are getting double triple strength doses because it has been found ineffective on them. Many of the diseases we have today never existed in humans before vaccines cancers [which were caused by SV40 virus from the green monkeys used to make polio vaccine] have exploded. The CDC website under Vaccine Media Excipients lists 7 vaccines that STILL have mercury, 11 that have ABORTED FETAL CELLS and the rest have aluminum formaldehyde [ carcinogenic embalming fluid] that is the tip of the iceberg. ALL are cooked in the cells blood of cows, pigs, monkeys, guinea pigs, dogs, chickens, and now INSECTS. Doesnt the Bible say thou shalt not mix the blood of man animals? They are already rolling out more experimental vaccines to sterilize cripple our immune systems. So true. In fact, vaccines are just the tip of the iceberg. Modern medicine is a bottomless rabbit hole. Many of the diseases today (cancer, diabetes, etc) are linked to vaccines. Perhaps this is the reason why they are obsessed with getting children vaccinated right out of the womb (lifelong customers). The entire medical industry is built on lies and has been for a long time. Its a 3 trillion dollar industry that has the power to convince people that the sky is green instead of blue. They give newborns Hep B Vax immediately to start the toxic poisoning. Theres a growing backlash against vaccines, thats why the shills are ramping up! Exactly! The MSM went ballistic trying to do damage control after that GOP debate. You can always gauge the amount of backlash by the amount of pro-vaccine/anti-vaxxer bashing articles that pop up. A lot of the talking heads on MSM news talk shows are gabbing about Get your flu shot! or Get your kids vaccinated for back to school! Then imagine that a 16-year-old came up with a cheap, reliable method to detect that DEADLY virus (without patients showing symptoms) within 30 minutes (a reasonable waiting time at docs). Ive known about this type of corruption for dollars around viruses for decades3 in fact. I was diagnosed as HIV positive in 1985 when the first tests became available. I was re-tested several times and as recently as 4 years ago because the doctors wouldnt believe I was remaining exceptionally healthy (havent had the flu in 14 years) when I had been steadfast from the beginning in never taking any of their medicationsperiod. With only a couple of exceptions of death by accident every other person I have known who has supposedly died from AIDSdidnt. Most died because they wouldnt change their behaviors damaging their immune systems. All suffered (an several died directly) as a result of their kidney and liver (filters) being damaged by the long term use of the drugs. Im waiting for another False-Flag on the lines of 9/11. I must respectfully disagree. As evidenced by so many in the past, i.e. Manning Snowden Assange and the most heart-breaking, Gary Webb, this culture has one thing they do better than any culture I am aware of;
