The Ruble is Crashing?

 

by Alfred Adask

 

Business Insider recently reported in "The Ruble Is Crashing" that, during a single day in late December, A.D. 2014, the Russian ruble suffered a 9.3% decline in value as measured against the US dollar in a single day. 

 

Or (given the teeter-totter relationship between the ruble and dollar in this report), the fiat dollar increased in value (deflated) nearly 10% in relation to the ruble. 

 

Which is worse?  10% inflation or 10% deflation?

 

Which nation took suffered a greater adverse impact?  Russia, with 10% inflation in relation to the US dollar in a single day?  Or the US-with 10% deflation in relation to the ruble?

 

"This crash follows the [Russian] Economy Ministry's announcement that [Russia's November] GDP contracted by 0.5% from a year earlier, following a 0.5% increase in October."

 

The "crash"?

 

What "crash"?

 

Does a 0.5% reduction in value in a single month constitute a "crash"?

 

How significant is it that the Russian economy may have contracted at an annual rate of 0.5% in November?  If the Russian GDP contracted at 0.5% per month for a full year, the total annual contraction would be 6%-about the same as the US economy contracted in A.D. 2008.  Not good.  Arguably a near "crash".  But, as in horseshoes, close doesn't count.

 

Besides, we already know that the Russian economy didn't contract by 0.5% every month in A.D. 2014 because Business Insider admits that the Russian GDP grew by 0.5% in October.  More, we can assume that the Russian GDP probably grew some or even most months in the first half of last year. 

 

We can even speculate that the Russian economy probably contracts most Novembers, Decembers, Januaries and Februaries simply because of the harsh Russian winters. 

 

So, it's not clear that a 0.5% contraction in the November GDP can be accurately described as a "crash".

 

Plus, how significant is it that the Russia GDP contracted by 0.5% in November, if it increased by 0.5% in October?  Sounds to me as if today's Russian economy is just about the same as it was in September.  Was anyone chattering about a Russian economic "collapse" last September?  If not, is Business Insider's description of Russia's current economic condition as a "crash" journalistically accurate or exaggerated? 

 

If exaggerated, why?  Does someone want us to believe circumstances in Russia are far worse than is really the case?

 

"This [contraction] is linked to sanctions first of all, oil and the panic we saw on the market in December. The damage to the banking system and consumer sentiment will take a long time to repair," Dmitriy Polevoy, the chief economist for Russia.

 

"Additionally, oil prices have crashed again on Monday.

 

"The price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil plunged to as low as $52.90 per barrel, a 4% decline, and Brent crude oil fell to its lowest price since May 2009 - falling as low as $57.37 per barrel."

 

Well, if the price of oil crashed for Russia, it also crashed for the US.  Clearly, Russia is more dependent on the price of crude oil than is the US.  Thus, the falling price of crude will probably affect Russia more than the US.

 

However, Russia's primary exposure to the falling price of crude is in relation to Russia's income.

 

For the US, the primary exposure to falling price of crude is found in junk bonds (debt) issued by US oil companies engaged in fracking and in derivatives used to hedge those junk bonds and the price of crude. 

 

The same falling oil prices that adversely affect the Russian economy now, may also affect the US economy's junk bonds and derivatives later. 

 

Does anyone truly knows which economy is more vulnerable to falling oil prices?  Russia, now?  Or the US, later?

 

*  My point in all this, is that I'm not yet convinced that the ruble is truly "crashing".  It's suffering some serious inflation in relation to the fiat dollar, but whether that's evidence of an economic "crash" for Russia or just higher prices for some goods imported into Russia is not yet apparent.

 

But let's suppose the ruble is not only "crashing"-inflating;declining in value and purchasing power-let's suppose that the fiat ruble really crashes as utterly as the former Zimbabwean dollar.

 

What then?

 

If the fiat ruble suffered a complete "crash" (which currently seems improbable), what form of money would replace a failed ruble?

 

It's hard to imagine that Russia could replace a failed fiat ruble with another fiat currency. 

 

Instead (although it's hard to imagine), it seems more likely that Russia would have to go to a gold-based money.

 

But is Russia's 1,150 ton treasury of gold sufficient to back a new currency? 

 

Probably not. 

 

At least, probably not at the current price of gold. 

 

If gold is $1,200 an ounce, Russia doesn't have enough gold to provide 100% backing for its next currency.  But what if the price of gold was $12,000 an ounce?  Would Russia then have enough gold to back its currency?  If not, what about $25,000 an ounce?  Would Russia's gold treasury then be sufficient to issue a gold-backed money?  Maybe so.

 

If the price of gold were irrationally low (say, $1,200/ounce) and a new Russian ruble was backed by gold at that low price, the world would eagerly flock to acquire new Russian rubles that could be traded for Russian gold. 

 

Result?  Russia's treasury of physical gold would be quickly exhausted.

 

The same would be true for any new currency backed by gold at the currently suppressed price.

 

But if the ruble could be backed by gold at a much higher price (say, $25,000/ounce), people might acquire and hold rubles rather than redeem them for gold.  If the price of gold was much higher, those holding gold-backed rubles would be less likely to redeem their rubles for physical gold.

 

Thus, in the unlikely event that any nation returns to a gold-backed monetary system, the first step towards that return should be a dramatic increase in the price of gold-and a correspondingly dramatic decrease in the purchasing power (inflation) of the particular currency.  

 

Q:  How likely is it that any fiat currency will soon be replaced by a gold-backed money? 

 

A:  It's not likely, but it might still be inevitable.

 

If the fiat ruble (or any other major currency) came close to crashing (or, actually does crash), the push for a new currency backed by gold would rise. 

 

However, no new currency could be backed by gold, unless the official price of gold were increased dramatically-or even irrationally.

 

Why?  Because if the price of gold is irrationally low, everyone would exchange their fiat currency for physical gold and wait for the inevitable day when the paper currency collapsed and the price of gold soared. 

 

Conversely, if the price of gold were irrationally high, people would believe that the price of gold must eventually fall.  They'd be less likely to save gold and more likely to spend their paper currency rather than save physical gold. 

 

Thus, if any major fiat currency were close to collapse, the price of gold should rise.

 

History indicates that all fiat currencies fall-usually after 40 to 80 years.

 

It's about 81 years since the domestic dollar lost its gold backing and became a fiat currency.

 

It's about 44 years since the international dollar lost its gold backing and the US dollar became a pure fiat currency.

 

If I were a betting man, I'd bet that at least one fiat currency will collapse within five years, and perhaps much sooner.  If that were a good bet, the price of gold should rise dramatically within five years, and perhaps much sooner.

 

Whatever inflationary pressures are placed on the Russian ruble by US sanctions and/or the falling price of crude oil should logically tend to increase the price of gold.

The Inherent Immorality of Fiat Currencies

 

by Alfred Adask

 

Global Research published an article entitled "Why Quantitative Easing (QE) May Lead to Deflation".  That article argued that, although "Quantitative easing (QE) was supposed to stimulate the economy and pull us out of deflation . . . . QE3 [the third round of QE] failed to raise inflation expectations in the US.

 

*   "QE hasn't worked in Japan, either." 

 

The Wall Street Journal noted in 2010, "Nearly a decade after Japan's central bank first experimented with the policy, the country remains mired in deflation, a general decline in wages and prices that has crippled its economy."

 

In fact, "The Bank of Japan (BOJ)began doing quantitative easing [printing fiat currency] in 2001. It had become clear that pushing interest rates down near zero for an extended period had failed to get the economy moving.  After five years of gradually expanding its bond purchases, the bank dropped the effort in 2006."

 

*  Coincidentally, the Federal Reserve is currently holding US interest rates close to zero in order to "get the economy moving".  And, after five years of expanding bond purchases here in the US, the Federal Reserve tapered those purchases until ended around October of A.D. 2014.  While QE may have prevented the US economy from collapsing, it has been largely unsuccessful at providing enough "stimulus" to cause the economy to do much more than stagnate.

 

*  The Global Research article argued that QE has been tried and failed in Japan, the US, China, and even the UK, but, "despite massive QE by the U.S., Japan and China, there is now a worldwide risk of deflation."

 

*  The Telegraph asked, "Why the world economy cannot seem to shake off this 'lowflation' malaise, even after QE on unprecedented scale by the US, Britain, Japan and in its own way Switzerland."

 

*  The observations provided by Global Research and the question provided by The Telegraph's both presume that inflation is good (and should be provided) and deflation is bad-and should be avoided.   In fact, inflation and deflation are, at best, both only "good" for some people, but also bad for others.  Because of the inherent harm posed by both monetary conditions, both inflation and deflation are morally "bad". 

 

I.e., inflation seems "good" for borrowers because it allows them to repay their debts with "cheaper dollars" that have less purchasing power. 

 

For example, anyone who's ever taken out a mortgage has been encouraged to do so by the assurance that, thanks to inflation, he'd be able to repay his debt with "cheaper dollars".  If he borrowed $250,000 to purchase a new home, thanks to 20 years of inflation, he'd repay the nominal sum of $250,000.  But in terms or purchasing power, he might actually repay the lender only $200,000, even $150,000, or even less as compared to the purchasing power of the $250,000 he originally borrowed. 

 

Thus, in this hypothetical example, inflation might've subsidized the borrower with the equivalent of, say, a $100,000 "gift" over the 20 or 30 years of the mortgage loan.  It's therefore argued that inflation is good because it "stimulates" people to borrow and spend and thereby "stimulates" the economy.

 

But, while inflation may seem to be "good" for debtors, it's terrible for creditors (those who've  produced and saved wealth and have currency to lend) because, by means of inflation, creditors are robbed of some or much of the value (the purchasing power) of their loans. 

 

I.e., in this hypothetical example, a creditor loaned $250,000 in purchasing power to help the borrower purchase a new house.  However, thanks to inflation, the creditor might only have been repaid $150,000 in purchasing power.  Thus, inflation might've caused the creditor to suffer a $100,000 loss of capital.  Yes, the creditor may still get his "$250,000" back, but it's only worth $150,000 in purchasing power as compared to its worth when the loan originated.  The creditor has been robbed by inflation.

 

*  Conversely, if we enter into a period of deflation, again, it may appear to be good for some but bad for others.

 

During deflation, the purchasing power fiat currency increases.  The market price of the home a borrower purchased with a $250,000 mortgage, might fall to $150,000.  That fall in price doesn't merely mean that price of the house has fallen, it means that the purchasing power of the dollar as increased

 

During an hypothetical period of deflation, what could've been purchased for $250,000 ten years ago, might be purchased today for just $150,000.  In this example, the dollar would've gained almost 66% more purchasing power than it had when the original $250,000 was borrowed.  That means that the borrower who repays the nominal $250,000 may actually be repaying as much as $415,000 (in terms of the purchasing power).

 

Thus, in this hypothetical example, thanks to deflation, the debtor/consumer/borrower might be robbed of the "extra" $165,000 in purchasing power while the creditor/producer/lender seems to be enriched to the tune of $165,000 in purchasing power.  Assuming the loan is repaid, the borrower is robbed and the creditor is subsidized and enriched by deflation.

 

But there's the rub:  The creditor is only subsidized by deflation if the loan is repaid.

 

If deflation persists for a year or more, the increasing value (purchasing power) of the fiat dollar adds to the value of the outstanding loans yet to be repaid at a time when work is scarce and both wages and profits are falling.  Unlike inflation (where the fiat currency loses value, becomes "cheaper" and thereby makes loans easier to repay), deflation (where the fiat currency gains value, become "more expensive" and thereby makes loans harder to repay) causes existing borrowers to default on their obligation to repay the currency they've borrowed. 

 

Result? 

 

The man that borrowed $250,000 that (thanks to deflation) has appreciated in value to, say, $465,000 in purchasing power-will be unable to repay his loan, or may simply refuse to repay their loans.  We saw something like this after the Great Recession of A.D. 2008 when home prices fell so dramatically that borrowers (who were still owed on their homes but were "underwater" in terms of loan value) simply abandoned their homes and refused to repay the loans they'd taken out from the banks.

 

When the borrower can't or won't repay his debts, creditors get robbed

 

Deflation tends to precipitate bankruptcies among those borrowers who are expected to repay loans with "more expensive" dollars.  Bankruptcies cause borrowers to default on their loans.  When borrowers default on their loans, creditors take a loss.

 

*  Thus, both inflation and deflation tend to rob creditors.  Inflation robs creditors by repaying their loans with "cheaper dollars".  Deflation robs creditors by precipitating bankruptcies which cause borrowers to default on their loan payments-which, again, robs creditors of their capital.

 

Inflation may be preferable to deflation since inflation at least enriches borrowers, but deflation robs both borrowers and creditors.

 

Either way-inflation or deflation-requires that someone be robbed.  That someone is always the creditors and sometimes the borrowers. 

 

"Creditors" are, or represent, those members of society that are:  1) productive; and 2) determined to live within their means and therefore able to save some of their wealth that might then be loaned to others.  Producers/creditors are the "geese" that lay the "golden eggs" (capital).  Capital is indispensable for sustaining an economy.

 

If your economy has 1,000 consumers/borrowers for every one producer/creditor, the consumer-majority would seem to hold all of the political power.  But, if your society loses your minority of producers/creditors, there'll be no wealth for the consumer/borrowers to borrow and nothing for them to eat.  Chaos will reign.

 

Given that both inflation and deflation both rob creditors and deplete our nation's capital, both inflation and deflation are immoral.

 

More, fiat currencies are dangerous to, and ruinous of, national economies because, both monetary phenomena ultimately rob producers/creditors to the point that a national economy is looted, loses much or most of its capital and ultimately collapses for lack of money and sufficient credit.

 

In both case, fiat currency robs creditors.  That is, fiat currency robs those who are productive and able to save their wealth.  Inflation robs producers/creditors of much of the wealth they are currently producing and saving.  Deflation robs producers/creditors of much of the wealth that they'd previously produced and saved.

 

*  Both inflation and deflation are consequences of using a pure, fiat currency whose value/purchasing-power can be manipulated by governments or central banks. 

 

Monetary inflation and deflation are attributes of pure fiat currencies.

 

Given that both inflation and deflation are immoral (either way, creditors must be robbed and capital (saved wealth) must be destroyed), it's arguable that any fiat currency is inherently immoral.

 

If so, it would follow that if any "money" is inherent moral, it would have to be one that holds its value steadily over years, decades and even centuries. 

 

There is no single "currency" that holds its value precisely over time.  I doubt that there's any single "currency" or "money" that can't be exploited.  But there is one "money" does hold its value fairly steadily over time.  There is one "money" that's least susceptible to the immorality of inflation and deflation:  gold.

 

Gold is, and should be, money because gold is inherently moral (or at least far more moral than fiat currency).  If you borrow one ounce of gold or 1,000 ounces of physical gold, then you have to repay that one or 1,000 ounces. 

 

Gold doesn't easily inflate and therefore won't "stimulate" the economy, but gold also doesn't deflate and collapse the economy. 

 

When you do repay the loan of physical gold with an exactly equivalent mass of physical gold, odds are, no one gets robbed.  There is no inherent theft in gold (or silver) coin.

 

In the end, all fiat currencies collapse.  I doubt that those monetary collapses are due to simple mathematics.  I'd bet that the inevitable collapse of all fiat currencies is based on the fact that they are all inherent immoral and prone to robbing creditors and destroying capital.

Forced Alzheimer's tests at Medicare paid 'wellness visits'

Constitutional attorney and head of the United States Justice Foundation, Michael Connelly told me the unbelievable this week. His fiancé, without any symptoms or presented concerns was forced to take an Alzheimer's test at an annual 'wellness' visit she had gone to. She was also asked whether she owned guns. Last I checked none of us could be forced to take an Alzheimer's test, especially if we have no symptoms, but not now.

Apparently since 2011 The Affordable Care Act - Medicare, which it controls now, pays for an annual wellness visit, which sounds safe enough. However, it isn't. What kind of annual check up forces intrusive gun ownership questions and a complete Alzheimer quiz on you? This appears to be a real, controlling slippery slope. So far, the annual visits aren't forced, just paid for and made to sound like a generic health visit.

The Alzheimer's association is all behind the Affordable care act - Medicaid now paying for 'wellness visits' that includes the forced Alzheimer's test. They call it...assessing for any cognitive impairment, mood disorders or depression. Preventative care indeed - more like violation of our right to privacy and punishment if we dare try and keep our medical or mental needs private. No doubt, people who don't submit to an annual wellness visit will either be fined or perhaps dropped from Medicare coverage. Just wait...it is coming.

Who made the forced Alzheimer's quiz this time? Gruber #2? And, what will Obamacare leadership do with all this new and no doubt misused and proprietary information? Who controls the info from this?

We already know there are death panels in Obamacare and our seniors are denied more and more critical care as they age and actually need it. We also know that the Obamacare web site is not hacker proof, doesn't work most of the time and is a factory of misdirection, mistakes and confusion. Obamacare/Medicare are to now manage and deal with millions of forced Alzheimer's quiz results?

I predict Obamacare will soon have millions more stuck in calculated misdiagnosis and non-care schemes. This is simply to get rid of more of these 'needy' and 'pesky' seniors Obama can't control. Tragically, for those who really do have Alzheimers or who may get it, they will be forced into substandard care on purpose and quick deaths.

I don't know about you but I will never be forced to put any Government ID chip into my body and I will never be forced to take an Alzheimer's test as a matter of course and against my will. Stand up for your right to have medical and mental health privacy and protect your records from being used in nefarious ways.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox (November 5, 1850 - October 30, 1919) was an American author and poet. Her most enduring work was "Solitude", which contains the lines, "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone".

 

And she wrote....

What can be said in New Year rhymes,

That's not been said a thousand times?

The new years come, the old years go,

We know we dream, we dream we know.

We rise up laughing with the light,

We lie down weeping with the night.

We hug the world until it stings,

We curse it then and sigh for wings.

We live, we love, we woo, we wed,

We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead.

We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,

And that's the burden of a year.

 

 

I personally believe 2015 is going to be a difficult year for this country and  extremely volatile year for investors.  They will be pushedto give up current investments (those that are going down) and jump into alternatives that are going up.

 

The strategy of jumping from one falling investment to a second, rising investment is likely to fail for most investors when that second investment (and then the third, etc.) starts to fall.  In periods of severe volatility, it will be almost impossible for ordinary investors to "time" the markets to know when and what to buy or sell.  

 

Implication:  In the midst of much volatility, we should each decide which investments to hold or sell based on fundamentals.  Identify the fundamentals behind any investment, make your pick, and hang on tight as your choice goes up, down and sideways.  If your grasp of fundamentals was solid, you'll emerge from A.D. 2015 as a winner.

 

The fundamentals for gold and silver are very much intact.  Fundamentals of paper markets are only the Federal Reserve.   On CNBC...a commentator stated...."What is moving the markets is the Fed...the Fed Fundamentals"......where would you prefer your investments be...in something that has true hard fundamentals...or an investment based solely on the Federal Reserve who continues to keep markets artificially propped up by creating additional debt.  Your Choice.

Lithuania welcomes Euro


 

By LIUDAS DAPKUS

(AP:VILNIUS, Lithuania) VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) - When Antanas Zubavicius turns the light on in his run-down house, it's the only light for miles. He is the last man in Dumbliuneliai, a once busy farmers' village in Lithuania that has gradually been abandoned as its residents emigrated in search of better jobs."I'm not going anywhere. This is my land," the 60-year-old says, waving at the abandoned, shuttered houses around him. "When I am gone this village is gone too."

 

As Lithuania prepares to adopt the euro on Jan. 1, it is hoping that membership in the European Union's official currency will bring a rise in investment and trade. But the Baltic country's increasing integration with richer European countries is also having a pernicious side-effect: a wave of emigration that is emptying towns and causing worker shortages.Emigration has been on the rise since 2004, when this country of 3 million people joined the EU, whose membership guarantees freedom of movement.

 

During the 2008-2011 financial crisis, more than 80,000 people - almost 3 percent of the population - left every year, mainly to Germany, Britain and other richer economies to earn salaries many times higher. Experts forecast that trend to continue, or even increase. In the field of construction, business owners complain it is impossible to keep hold of workers, even with massive annual wage increases of 10 to 20 percent. The problem is not confined to rural villages.

 

Most shopping malls, restaurants and businesses in once busy urban areas are increasingly short of labor."There's simply no more skilled people left here," says Arvydas Avulis, CEO of Hanner, a leading real estate investor and developer that specializes in high-rise construction. A quick look at wage figures shows why. A manual worker in Lithuania can expect to earn 1.80 euros ($2.20) an hour compared with 4.30 euros ($5.24) in Spain and 8.60 euros ($10.50) in Ireland, according to the EU statistics agency.

 

In the more skilled sectors like computing, medicine or the services industry, where Lithuania's educational system produces highly qualified graduates, wage differences are even greater.Euro membership is expected to help Lithuania's economy, even though the currency bloc is struggling to grow. Having the same currency as 18 other richer economies will facilitate commerce and reduce investment risks for foreigners. The central bank estimates the government's borrowing rate would drop by almost 1 percentage point, which would filter down to the private sector.The problem is that Lithuania is the bloc's poorest member and even though its economy is growing at a stronger pace than most EU countries, it has a long way to develop before it can hope to offer wages on a par with other EU states. Unsurprisingly, most Lithuanians are in favor of joining the euro, as it will cement the country's ties with the West and keep those richer labor markets open to them.

 

Sociology professor at Mykolas Romeris University, warns that in time, worker shortages will hurt the economy, threatening the gains made in the first place by joining the EU and euro. "There will simply be no one left to do simple jobs here in 10 or 15 years," she said.

 

 

Housing market concerns for 2015

 

1. Institutional investors played a huge role as they purchased hundreds of thousands of homes to rent out.  If they begin to cash  out  housing prices and could begin to fall with a glut of homes in the market. 

 

National Association of Realtors reported that institutional buyers accounted for 15% of all sale in October, down from 20% in January... From January 2012  to August 2014 200,000 purchases were made by institutional investors and those who made purchases in 2012 could walk away with 38%-43% is they sold now.

 

2.  With a stronger dollar foreign investors who also helped with the recovery in housing could also begin to walk away.  Chinese buyers have remained strong but Europe and Russia with there problems are beginning to lag.

 

3.  We know incomes have fail to keep up with home prices and even though lending standards have eased.  I don't believe it is strong enough to compensate for drops in housing as previously mentioned.

 

4.  Then you add higher mortgage rates if the Federal Reserve begin to send its benchmark rate higher.

 

So I believe the housing market will be stagnant if not weaken which does not help Washingtons so called recovery.

 

 

The stock market - how long can they defy gravity

 

The S&P... Half the earnings of US big-cap companies come from overseas, repatriated into a stronger dollar, and therefore worth less in reporting terms.

 

The index has risen at double-digit rates for three years, further inflated this year by companies buying back their own shares at a pace of $130bn a quarter, often with borrowed money.

 

The profit share of GDP is at a post-war high of 12.5pc (much like 1929), an untenable level as US wages start to rise and the balance of power swings back to labour. The S&P index measuring the price-to-sales ratio is higher today than at its pre-Lehman peak.

 

Emerging markets have a combined debt ration of 175pc of GDP, a record and these markets are so much more entwined in today's world economy.

Vaccines are superstitions


 
by Herbalist Wendy Wilson


In 2014 we lost a courageous medical doctor, Anthony Morris. He was important because he as one of the inside doctors in the field of virology and the making of vaccines came out and declared the truth about vaccines calling them "superstitions." There is no scientific research which supports the medical protections or benefits science claims vaccines provide. If you remember the Phil Donahue Show you may remember seeing Dr. Morris as a guest warning folks about the dangers of the Swine Flu vaccine. He told viewers that it caused allergic and neurological reactions. Dr. Morris was no quack. He headed the FDA's Vaccine Control Program as their Chief physician. He concluded after ten years of work in this field, and having access to government research, that "the evidence proves that immunization of children does more harm than good."

 

THE CARTEL

The medical establishment is a rich and powerful entity and no one knew that more keenly than Dr. Morris. He said that the ungodly secrets were zealously guarded and the sanctity of vaccines was their most prized instrument. He conveyed in no uncertain terms that the FDA is not run by honorable people and scientists and researchers that work for the pharmaceutical corporations know there is absolutely no evidence which supports the health benefits of vaccines (including the influenza vaccines). According to Dr. Morris they have no effectiveness in preventing or mitigating disease. The politicians and law makers are also aware and play the game to protect and this very insulated system. Dr. Morris did not lose hope that even though it appears that modern medicine is very successful on every frontier at promoting and forcing mandatory vaccines on pets, children, parents and employees; he said that all it takes is saying no and a few researchers might start leaking the vital information that cannot be denied; which exposes vaccines as superstitions.

 

DISHONOR AMONG MEN

Few know the true story behind the Swine Flu vaccine in 1976. The pharmaceutical companies made a vaccine for the swine (pig farm) industry but farmers were suspicious that the vaccine would give their animals a disease and wipe out their entire crop of pigs. The farmers witnessed a demonstration of the vaccine causing the pigs to collapse and die. When the pig farmers told big pharma to take a hike, it meant a loss of $80 million to the drug companies. So, according to Dr. Morris, the pharmaceutical giants marketed the animal vaccine for humans and created a national swine flu epidemic through the CDC and the scheme netted the drug companies $135 million. At the time there was not one case of swine flu in the US and Dr. Morris, then director of the FDA's Virus Bureau, announced that there is no authentic swine flu vaccine since there have never been any cases of swine flu on which to test it. He publicly announced, "At no point were the swine flu vaccines effective."  This almost killed the medical cartels swine flu pandemic campaign. So, how did the cartel handle the damage control? They wheeled out Walter Cronkite and President Gerald Ford to use their combined efforts to persuade the public to submit to the inoculation of the swine flu. CBS refused to air a rebuttal of the dangerous ingredients in the swine flu vaccine. And of course Dr. Morris was quickly fired and his lab and office were sterilized of any research he had conducted because he had collected years worth of files on the animal trials verifying his claims. In 1976 Congress used $135 million of taxpayers' money to pay for the swine flu campaign. The medical cartel did not spend a dime. However, medical insurance companies lashed back and refused to insure against the possible damages from swine flu inoculation because no studies were carried out to predict the effects. President Ford through a TV public service announcement appealed to the American public on CBS to get their free swine flu vaccine at their local public health department, thereby bypassing the insurance companies. It was considered a great public service. Then the casualties became evident costing $1.3 billion in damages filed by victims paralyzed by the vaccine. The medical cartel labeled those cases a new disease to deflect the blame and called it Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Some speculate that the AIDS epidemic, which shortly began after the swine flu vaccine was used, was a variant form of the swine flu vaccine.

 

"Well, if the swine breeders won't inject it into their animals, our only other market is to inject it into people." Drug firm rep.

 

SKEPTICS

Some people argue that not everyone becomes sick from the flu shot and not all children develop neurological or other conditions from vaccines. Dr. Morris dispelled that notion and said, "First of all, there is no "if" vaccines will harm you. They do harm." He explained that the disease which develops in the body could take years to manifest. He says there has been no research to dispel this and researchers should be probing and keep a "disease map" or flow chart, which shows exactly what vaccines do in the body from the moment they enter. This research will never be conducted. Dr. Morris explained that there are many levels to this medical cartel system and at different levels, people have different motives. Money, fear of losing a job, and prestige, misguided idealism, and so on.

 

WHY VACCINES ARE GIVEN?

Anyone that researches vaccines before they agree to take them will come across unfavorable information. This in itself can promote a person to dig for the truth. So, while investigating one may ask why vaccines are given at all? The answer Dr. Morris and others, such as Dr. Joseph Mercola, have stated is that at the highest levels of the medical cartel, vaccines are a top priority because they cause a weakening of the immune system. People can have a hard time wrapping this around their brain and is therefore hard to accept, but it's true. If you can't accept the testimony from a medical doctor who worked in the epicenter of vaccine development then I don't know what it would take to warn you. Here is what Dr. Morris revealed in a 2002 interview;   "The medical cartel, at the highest level, is not out to help people, it is out to harm them, to weaken them. To kill them." Dr. Morris also met with officials who occupied high government positions, especially in Africa. These government employees are aware that the WHO is a front for powerful interests wanting to control the populations of nations. In Africa there is an underground of various officials who are earnestly trying to change the lot of the poor and not for their good. The vaccines have been used, and are being used, to destroy their countries, to make them ripe for takeover by other powers.

 

"The producers of vaccines know that they are worthless, but they go on selling them, anyway." Dr. J. Anthony Morris, Virologist & former Chief Vaccine Control Officer FDA

 

STANDING IN THE GAP

Dr. Morris was especially aware of mothers who were sincerely concerned for their children. He would speak with them and would encourage them to testify about what vaccines had done to their child. There are countless parents who testify that before the vaccine they had a healthy toddler and afterward have a child stricken with autism or other neurological conditions. He noted that doctors, researchers, pharmacists and other health authorities are not willing to stand up and speak the truth but mothers are. He held these mothers in high esteem because they were trying to fill in the gap that has been created by the researchers and doctors who have turned their backs on the whole thing. I personally spoke with Dr. Morris in 1994 by phone. He was no longer with the FDA but I could tell he was concerned about being harassed or attacked by the government or any one of its agencies. He had a lovely British accent and was gracious as he listened to what my one-year-old son had endured after his 12-month vaccinations. At the time the medical establishment was trying to convince parents to combine the 12-month and the 17-month shots into one combo shot at the 12-month visit. My instincts said no and I declined. Dr. Morris said that was fortunate that I had done so as he believed based on my son's reaction to the DPT alone that he would not have survived a mixture of more than seven diseases in the combo vaccine. This was a turning point for me and this is when I got involved in natural medicines to help my child. God blessed him with a full recovery.

 

INFORMED CONSENT

The creeps of the medical cartel feel that you and I agree to the risks of vaccines and this is why they've successfully secured legislation to protect them from law suits. However, no one can make sound and healthy decision based on lies and parents are not getting real information. With regards to the medical profession, you are not dealing with honorable people when they promote superstitions rather than facts. They know parents will cave-in to the pressure and threats that they will be labeled as unfit parents and have their children taken away. You know them by their fruits and using fear or threats as a tactic for you to submit should send up red flags.

 

SIDE STEP WITH GRACE

One thing Dr. Morris encouraged parents to do is become informed and side step this corrupt medical system with grace. He said notice the language in the descriptions regarding the benefits of vaccines. They are riddled with ambiguous terms such as "unknown", "likely" and "uncertain." He equated them as to an admission that there is no scientific evidence to support their health claims. So, you are dealing with scientists that don't know, don't understand and care about what they are doing. An option every employee, parent or pet owner should embrace is the option to use the Physician's Warranty of Vaccine Safety form. This form is to be given to the medical staff or government worker insisting you accept a vaccine(s). You can insist that the form be completed prior to any vaccines being given to protect the interests of the patient. Every parent has a fiduciary responsibility to their child and this form can help. The problem is no doctor or government worker will want to comply with this form. The reason is the form has them waive their protective immunity should the vaccine harm the patient, which proves that vaccines are dangerous and potentially harmful. You can download this form for free at Dr. Rebecca Carley's website under Vaccine Induced Diseases tab and click on Physicians Warranty of Vaccine Safety http://www.reversingvaccineinduceddiseases.com/audio/Physicians-Warranty-of-Vaccine-Safety.pdf

 

STRONG IMMUNITY IS POWER

What the medical cartel does not want you to have is a strong immune system, Dr. Morris confirmed that. Think about this, if the vaccines are weakening your God-given immune system just think what the antibiotics, chemo and other treatments are doing. So, weakening your God-given rights isn't the only thing these powerful people are stealing from you. Fight back and say no to their vaccines and empower your natural immune system by strengthening it. You can do that with God's good herbs.
