"I have a friend that works for the Ct Dept. of Health and he
explained
to me what really happened with the Lyme vaccine.
He said that it was not really taken off of the market becasue of poor
sales, but instead it was because of pressure from a state official
that was directly and financially involved. He said that the vaccine
was know never to be safe because of poor testing. The federal gov was
close to a full scale investigation and they decided to pay a few
individuals 'quiet money' to keep them from running their mouths if an
investigation came about. He specified 3 names to me from Yale
University. ***At first I thought this Kathleen woman was nuts, but
I'm
seeing she may have some valid information. I trust my friend's
information........he has never lied to me in the 30 years we've been
friends."***
===============================
Of course, I have no idea who posted that
and that person never posted again.
================================
The truth about Lyme never gets told in the
NYTimes because Lawrence Altman is a CDC
officer. CDC does not want their involvement
in the Lyme crimes exposed:
http://www.actionlyme.org/CDCS_PARTICIPATION_IN_LYME_CRIMES.htm
"Lyme Disease" (Avian Relapsing Fever with a Plum
Island Mycoplasmal Twist) is "THE PERFECT STEALTH
PATHOGEN" according to the DOE and DOD's Brookhaven:

http://www.actionlyme.org/CHP_9_IDSA_REVIEWS.htm
But given how *stupid* these Lyme crooks are
http://www.actionlyme.org/GOLDWATER_LETTER.htm
I hardly believe it was PI-engineered; sooner
or later someone besides myself would
have found out what "Relapsing Fever" meant:

^^^ Says CDC officer and former head of the Montana
NIH Rocky Mountains Bioweapons Lab (the reason
Willy Burgdorfer was recruited from Switzerland),
"Antibodies and vaccines do no good, because they
merely ***select*** the next relapse groups; It's
therefore also true that there is no specific panel
of antibodies

because "even if a mammal is infected
with one single spirochete, they end up with
multiple variants and strains:"

Announcement
Project Expose MSM
We all have been tirelessly screaming about issues related to
Congressional leaders abdicating their main responsibility of
'oversight.' We have been outraged for way too long at seeing 'no'
accountability whatsoever in many known cases of extreme wrongdoing.
I, and many of you, believe that the biggest reason for this was, and
still is, the lack of true journalism and media coverage -- which acts
as the necessary pressure and catalyst for those spineless politicians
on the Hill and in the Executive branch. Or, at least it's supposed
to. So, in our book, the MSM has been the main culprit.
Well, here is a chance to turn the tables.
At my new blog, 123 Real Change, I'm happy to present an experimental
project, Project Expose MSM, created to provide readers with specific
mainstream media blackout and/or misinformation cases based on the
documented and credible first-hand experiences of legitimate sources
and whistleblowers.123 Real Change is inviting all members of the
National Security Whistleblowers Coalition (NSWBC), other active
(covert or overt) government whistleblowers, and even reporters
themselves, to publish their experiences in regard to their own first-
hand dealings with the media, where their legit disclosures were
either intentionally censored, blacked out or tainted.
Yes, we will be naming names -- myself included.
We will even do so below, in one real-case example, intended to help
illustrate how the project will work. In the absence of the real
investigative journalism and unbiased independent media we need, this
is one way to set the record straight...
Not only that, we also know there are many potential whistleblowers
out there who are seeking 'trust-worthy' reporters and/or publications
in order to inform the public. At the same time, many of us in the
whistleblower community have learned the hard way that there are many
reporters and publications who should be avoided. It is our
responsibility to offer those whistleblowers guidance, based on our
own knowledge and experience, and maybe save them from some of the
traps we ourselves fell into.
Project Expose MSM will select and publicize legitimate, credible, and
documented/witnessed stories. It will provide a forum for those with
first-hand experience to share their stories with the public. It will
raise awareness and allow people to discuss these cases openly. And
hopefully it will help to foster improvements to the current, sorry
state of our MSM by bringing the wrongs to light.
Here is an important point to remember: Things are never purely black
or white. I have emphasized, for example, during my own case and other
NSWBC activities, that by pointing criticism generally at the FBI, the
good agents get unfairly lumped together with those whom the criticism
is actually being leveled at. So to avoid that as much as possible we
always try to be both specific and fair. Same is true for this
project. There are some good solid reporters who work in the MSM and
try to do their best, and in some cases they do, and are 'allowed' to
do so. Let me give you an example. I have given specific New York
Times related examples in several analyses posted in my series on the
MSM at 123 Real Change, such as the delay in publishing the NSA
Illegal Wiretap story. I was very specific in questioning motives,
reasons, or excuses in that particular case.
On the other hand, if I were to give a few examples of who I consider
to be solid, trustworthy, professional, and dependable reporters, my
fairly short list would certainly include Eric Lichtblau and James
Risen, both of whom work for the same New York Times. I hope I make
this point clear. This new project will certainly acknowledge and
credit positives, whenever possible, along its course. We will also
offer the opportunity for anybody whose names are named to reply in
response.
I encourage those of you with direct knowledge and experience to join
this project by sharing your experiences. Please E-mail me with your
report, and carefully follow the format provided below which includes
an example of the first, of hopefully many, real-case stories to come:
1) Your name, title, and/or background:
Name: Mike Levine
Title: Retired Supervisory Special Agent/Covert Operations Specialist,
DEA
Background: Michael Levine, one of DEA's most decorated international
undercover officers, is a veteran of 25 years of service. As an
international undercover operative he witnessed the intentional
destruction of undercover investigations targeting major international
heroin and cocaine trafficking organizations who also happened to be
CIA assets. Among the actions reported was blowing the cover of an
undercover operation-Operation Trifecta- that had penetrated the top
of a corrupt Mexican government, by Edwin Meese the then US Attorney
General. When Michael's attempts at alerting his superiors via in-
house memorandums, and then mainstream media, were "buried," and
Michael himself placed under investigation, he went directly to the
public in his books, the New York Times best-seller Deep Cover and the
national best-seller The Big White Lie.
See more at Wikipedia...
2) The Name of Publication and/or Editor and/or Reporter:
Publication: Newsweek
Reporters: Larry Rohter and Steven Strasser
3) Description of Disclosure/Case/Issue and its Importance:
While stationed in Argentina, the CIA's actions in sabotaging the
undercover sting operation targeting La Mafia Cruzeña, resulted in the
July 17, 1980 coup [Bolivia], wherein, as the State Department
described it, for the first time in history, a drug trafficking
organization took over a sovereign nation. It would be the beginning
of what came to be known as "The Corporation," described by Felix
Milian Rodriquez -- Medellin Cartel Money launderer, convicted of
laundering $1 billion -- as the most powerful drug smuggling
organization on earth, in a secret session before the Kerry
Commission.
At the time I was the DEA Country Attaché in Buenos Aires. I sent a
registered letter, return receipt requested, to two Newsweek
journalists, Larry Rohter and Steven Strasser-who had just written a
rather long article that pretty much whitewashed the case and totally
obfuscated US government involvement in aiding the traffickers to
avoid prosecution and then in overthrowing the Bolivian government
that had, in fact, aided DEA in conducting the sting operation that
would have, in the opinion of many, crippled the traffickers. I asked
them to contact me, at which time I would have given them the inside
scoop of what I believe may have been the greatest act of deception
and treason against the citizens we had all sworn to protect, perhaps
in history, if one considers the aftermath of said revolution.
In any case, I received notification that the letter had been received
by Newsweek. Two weeks later I was notified that I was under
investigation by Internal Affairs, and that I was being removed from
my post in Argentina. I would never hear from the two journalists.
4) The Method of Blackout or Tainted Outcome:
The story was buried-blacked out. Possibly the identity & provided
information/documents were disclosed to government employer.
5) A brief personal message to any potential whistleblowers or our
readers:
This information was published in my book THE BIG WHITE LIE in great
detail and would be libelous as hell, were it not true. [Note from
Sibel: As long as you are factual, credible, and speaking the truth,
they can't touch you for divulging their 'unreported deeds.']
We will attempt to contact the reporter, editor or publication in
question for comment before publishing any revelations like the above,
from whistleblowers and other sources, in order to include any
response those named may wish to offer along with the publication of
your story. In the case above, Rohter and Strasser's responses are
below:
Response from Rohter and Strasser:
* Despite several requests for response, Steven Strasser did not
reply.
* Larry Rohter, who now works at the New York Times replied to our
first request for comment -- which included the material above -- as
follows:
Dear Ms. Edmonds: From what I see here, you're not actually
offering me a chance to respond to a posting you intend to make.
Instead, you're asking me to comment on an an old and discredited
implied accusation made against me by someone I have never met and
who, contrary to what he may claim, has never at any time made the
slightest attempt to contact me personally or directly. The conspiracy
brigade has been feeding off this carrion for years, and I'm really
not at all interested in giving it new life on the internet. But if
you are in fact willing to explain what it is that makes this paranoid
rant relevant to what you intend to write, it might be possible to
continue this exchange in writing. Are you saying that any comments of
mine would be included in their entirety as part of your post?
Or is it your intention to use any response selectively? Are
you writing for the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition site,
or are you writing on a personal site in connection with your
individual grievances against the FBI? All of these issues are
relevant and will guide me in determining whether or not I want to
take this any further. Regards, Larry Rojhter
We responded to all of Mr. Rohter's questions, explaining where
we intended to post this article, and that we planned to run any
response he may have in full. Though we even followed up a second
time, we received no further response in return.
IMPORTANT: Please adhere to the following in any submission:
* Don't get too wordy and too lengthy in your account and
description of the case.
* Be as specific as you can.
* Be fair: Make it clear if you are not sure whether the suspect
party was the 'reporter' or the 'editor' or your government employer…
We don't want to accuse 'unjustly.'
* If you wish to remain anonymous, you'll need to directly
persuade me of the legitimacy of your claim. I will keep all
correspondence and your personal information confidential. As a
whistleblower myself, and the founder of the National Security
Whistleblowers Coalition, I understand the necessity for that in
variou cases.
With your help, I look forward to helping to restore the important,
once-vital Fourth Estate, so necessary to this country's very
survival.
* 123 Real Change attempts to authenticate the veracity of claims made
by our sources whenever possible. However, all claims made are
ultimately the responsibility of the sources making them.
Update 1:
Response by Mike Levine: "A copy of the letter and the original return
receipt are still in my possession. They were presented to lawyers
during the libel reading of "The Big White Lie," and are available for
all who want to see them."
