ABC Bosses Tell ABC News Kill The Interviews With Robert Kennedy Jr. …

[otohara]

ABC corporate executives at the network's highest levels ordered
three interviews with Robert Kennedy Jr. pulled from ABC News
programming.

The interviews all centered around Mr. Kennedy's investigation of
thimerosal, a mercury based preservative, used in vaccines given to
children and believed to be responsible for increasing cases of
neurological diseases including autism.

Mr. Kennedy's interviews were slated for prime shows ABC World News
Tonight, 20/20, and Good Morning America. Salon.com and Rolling Stone Magazine have exclusive rights to Mr. Kennedy’s article and they embargoed his story on other networks because of his arrangement with ABC.

Mr. Kennedy’s article was published today only in Rolling Stone and on Salon.com. The article links the CDC, FDA and Bill Frist to major drug companies, including GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Wyeth, and Aventis Pasteur that continued to include thimerosal in their vaccines despite studies showing the damage – and death – it caused in humans. In the 1990s the CDC and FDA recommended three additional children's vaccines laced with thimerosal, totaling twenty two federally recommended immunizations.

1. cant let the truth get out

can they?

[leftchick]

2. and let us not forget....

~snip`

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who has received $873,000 from
pharmaceutical companies, tacked on the "Eli Lilly Protection Act" as
a rider to a 2002 homeland security bill. The protection act was later repealed by Congress after a public outcry.

Senator Frist is making another attempt to harbor big pharmaceuticals from families with infected children. He is appropriating the war on terror again by attaching a provision to the "Protecting America in the War On Terror" bill introduced to Congress this past January.

45. "reworked data to bury the link between thimerosal and autism" B*st*ards!!

But instead of taking immediate steps to alert the public and rid the vaccine supply of thimerosal, the officials and executives at Simpsonwood spent most of the next two days discussing how to cover up the damaging data. According to transcripts obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, many at the meeting were concerned about how the damaging revelations about thimerosal would affect the vaccine industry's bottom line.



"We are in a bad position from the standpoint of defending any lawsuits," said Dr. Robert Brent, a pediatrician at the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Delaware. "This will be a resource to our very busy plaintiff attorneys in this country." Dr. Bob Chen, head of vaccine safety for the CDC, expressed relief that "given the sensitivity of the information, we have been able to keep it out of the hands of, let's say, less responsible hands." Dr. John Clements, vaccines advisor at the World Health Organization, declared flatly that the study "should not have been done at all" and warned that the results "will be taken by others and will be used in ways beyond the control of this group. The research results have to be handled."



In fact, the government has proved to be far more adept at handling the damage than at protecting children's health. The CDC paid the Institute of Medicine to conduct a new study to whitewash the risks of thimerosal, ordering researchers to "rule out" the chemical's link to autism. It withheld Verstraeten's findings, even though they had been slated for immediate publication, and told other scientists that his original data had been "lost" and could not be replicated. And to thwart the Freedom of Information Act, it handed its giant database of vaccine records over to a private company, declaring it off-limits to researchers. By the time Verstraeten finally published his study in 2003, he had gone to work for GlaxoSmithKline and reworked his data to bury the link between thimerosal and autism.



Vaccine manufacturers had already begun to phase thimerosal out of injections given to American infants -- but they continued to sell off their mercury-based supplies of vaccines until last year. The CDC and FDA gave them a hand, buying up the tainted vaccines for export to developing countries and allowing drug companies to continue using the preservative in some American vaccines -- including several pediatric flu shots as well as tetanus boosters routinely given to 11-year-olds.

3. Did the Mouse get the exclusive just so they could kill it?

And prevent other networks from interviewing him? Hmmm ...

[gratuitous]

4. Well, I'm sure this has nothing to do with all the ads the companies buy

Because as we all know, the news divisions of the networks are totally insulated from advertising and revenue. That's why you can see all those hard-hitting exposes on the News Hour about Archer Daniels Midland's corporate perfidies.

[otohara]

5. Of Course Not!

Biggie oily companies would never pull their ads off ABC and every affiliate, radio station and billboard across the country.

[glitch]

6. Thus making themselves even less relevant, if that's possible. nt

[acmejack]

10. It isn't!

I am a news junkie and I don't deal with MSM anymore. Disclaimer: Actually I read the letters to the editor in several local papers every day. You have hammer it, they are irrelevant to real news.

Perhaps they should be renamed "Spin"papers and evening propaganda hours. All the news we think you should know.

[glitch]

23. I don't see them ever getting their credibility back.

Certainly not until they start trying. But assuming they do start reporting the news at some point, it will take years to rebuild what they have thrown away.

[deutsey]

7. That damn liberal media at it again

:eyes:

[orleans]

71. i was just thinking the same thing. "damn you, liberal media!"

[noamnety]

8. Emailing

I read that you canceled an interview with Mr. Kennedy regarding thimerosal, vaccines, and their possible link to autism. Mr. Kennedy is one of my heroes, and as a school teacher who deals both with autistic children, and with parents who sometimes have objections to getting vaccines, this was a high interest topic for me.

What was the reason for canceling it? Will it be rescheduled?


[e-mail]

[e-mail] (Good Morning America & World News Tonight)

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. good letter

I may borrow your idea if you don't mind.

[noamnety]

38. please, email!

That's why I added the links, there.

[AuntiBush]

9. We know "here" at DU! ABC is WORSE then FOX NEWS!

That's pretty bad. ABC rating must be down badly. I know of NO ONE that watches them anymore, rather most watch CBS and CSPAN.

When the * Empire topples, whom will ABC appeal to then, I ask? Hmmm.

[gatorboy]

11. I'm recommending this topic for one of the greats

I have a friend who has been fighting the drug companies over this. His son, who was completly normal before his vaccination, quickly took on autistic symptoms afterwards.

[evolvenow]

44. I do not know firsthand if this might help your friends son, but might

suggest looking into it. it seems to be a non-toxic way of getting the mercury out of the tissues. The woman who promotes it was very ill from healvy metals/mercury poisoning and cured herself.

Again, I cannot vouch for the site, but it looks like something that could help.

Be sure that if they feel this is right for their child, to work with a good health practioneer, that is familiar with alternative, safe, natural treatments.


http://www.evenbetternow.com/autism.html
A couple of years ago I had the good fortune to discover a heavy metal and chemical detoxification product that is inexpensive, works quickly, is extremely safe even for children, has no side effects, is an all natural product, and is easy to use. I used it with my Asperger's son, and it is called LL’s Magnetic Clay .





What is LL’s Magnetic Clay?

LL's Magnetic Clay is a very unique bentonite clay (a very fine volcanic clay) that, when used as a bath, actually draws toxic chemicals and metals through the pores of the skin. It can remove years of toxic environmental pollutants that have been accumulating – out of your body and into the bathtub, in a single bath! The main ingredients in this clay are calcium, magnesium, potassium, manganese, and sodium in their natural state.

LL's Magnetic Clay is more effective than chelation therapy in that it removes 60 – 90 per cent of the toxins, compared to chelation therapies which remove 40 per cent of the toxins. It is quicker, less expensive and less time- consuming than chelation as well, and does not require a medical prescription or visits to a health care practitioners office. Most importantly, it is safe for young children and babies, and since most children love to take baths, very easy to administer!


LL’s Magnetic Clay Bath Kits Can Help with Autism Spectrum Disorders and ADD

Although LL’s Magnetic Clays were developed to facilitate the removal of heavy metal and chemical toxins from the body, and not developed to assist in any specific health disorders, their effectiveness with disorders such as autism and chronic fatigue syndrome are a wonderful and unexpected side effect. Parents of autistic children have found the clays to have incredible healing effects in the cases where heavy metals or toxins contribute to the autistic condition. We have had a report of a child talking for the very first time after taking just one bath, and other reports of autistic children no longer exhibiting any symptoms of autism. The following is a letter written to Lau'ana Lei, the founder and owner of LL's Magnetic Clay, from the parent of one such child:

Parent Statements

"My family and I wanted to take this opportunity in thanking you for all that you have done to make it possible and available for us and everyone to experience the benefits of your clay baths.
My son Jakob, who will be turning 3 September 10th, and who is on a program of several therapies almost daily and in the care of a holistic doctor, started to talk after only ONE of your clay baths. We could not believe how much these baths changed our lives! Needless to say we all use your clay baths for different reasons. We are all doing better and we are so much healthier because of them. Thank you again!"
(Sarasota FL)


kick for good health and the end of dangerous medicines

[onager]

70. Quackery

The use of chelation therapy to treat autistic children is completely bogus. Three successful lawsuits have been filed by parents who believe they were victimized in this way.

http://www.quackwatch.org/03HealthPromotion/immu/thimerosal.html

[evolvenow]

77. Read more carefully,your link claims that mercury isn't toxic,that's a lie

I was referring to a case where the child developed symptoms directly related to a vaccination.

In that case, making an effort, to detox the mercury from the tissues, using a series of specific clay baths have been shown to help children that have been WRONGLY injected with the SECOND MOST TOXIC SUBSTANCE ON THE PLANET, after Radioactivity.
So just because a web site, or even a clincal report/study, or doctors say anything that poisionous is NOT TOXIC, does not mean that it is true. Injecting anyone, but particularily an infant, or child with mercury has detrimental effects to the brain and other tissues and organs, combine that with all of the other toxins that any living beings is now bombarded with and you have a wide variety of negative outcomes.

I know people who have had improvements with autism in their children and they were not traditional western treatments.


What is your reason for believing an industry that routinely releases and continues to release and make enormous profits from drugs that poison and in fact KILL people?

[City Lights]

12. I frickin' HATE the media.

I don't know how much more of this shit I can take. :grr:

[donco6]

13. Is thimerosal still used in eye wetting solution?

For contact lenses? It used to be . . .

[truth2power]

62. I think thimerosol has been removed from all

contact solutions.

Years ago I tried to wear contacts, but was allergic to the thimerosol used as a preservative in all the contact lens disinfecting solutions at the time.

I now wear contacts without any problem, partly b/c the soft lenses are better, but mostly because there's no thimersol.

I use Renew, which is contains polyaminopropyl biguanide as a preservative. Any chemists here who can comment on that?

[RussBLib]

14. Tune in to KPFT-FM on the net tonight 7p Central

It's a talk by RFK, Jr. during his visit to Houston this past Monday, June 13. He doesn't mention thimerosal, but talks a lot about mercury. I couldn't hear him live but a friend did and said it was awesome.

15. It's stories like these which make me certain.....

that America is truly a country run by corporate executives.

16. How much more proof do we need?

This is the most blatant I can remember in a while.

I'm tempted to say, "there really ought to be a law..." This is such an outrage it nearly has me in tears.

31. email and calls to ABC --- BOYCOTT DISNEY products

[stickdog]

17. Pathetic on all counts (nt)

[Julius Civitatus]

18. ABC/Disney is the most SERVILE network to the Bush admin.

The bastards just seem to follow direct orders from the Bushies. Remember they tried to kill Fahrenheit 9-11?

Remember how they piled on Dan Rather, instead of sticking to their professional peer?

Remember how they went far and beyond when the FCC called for networks to censor themselves after the Janet Jackson "scandal"?

Remember ABC has rejected TV commercials from liberal organizations and religious groups left-of-center, yet never objected to airing conservative and Xtian Coalition ads?

I remember!

[blm]

19. Anyone STILL need more proof the media is COMPLICIT in the fascist agenda

of BushInc?

When you control most of the media and most of the voting machines you can get away with ANYTHING.

[BrightKnight]

20. The MSM loves to feed on the MSM.

Media blast the censorship story.

[depakid]

21. They can't anger their sponsors

You can thank that bastard Clinton for this- he sold all of us out by permitting the FDA to change the rules (that are in place in EVERY OTHER WESTERN COUNTRY) so that the PhRMA could push it's drugs on TV (and provide misleading information in the process).

Now that they're in- and considering how much they contribute to the corporate media's bottom line- you aren't going to see many exposes about their corrupt activities.

People need to understand that it's NOT just the Republicans who are behind shit like this- Clinton and the DLC also share a good deal of the responsibility for all of the media abuses we see today.

[Sequoia]

22. I sent to our news room

but it's useless, they'll never do any news like this, or about the DSM, or about how many troops have been killed; Just dogs, KDOG.

[RalphReedsWreckedEm]

24. Possible side effects may include knowing the truth

If you experience a sudden understanding that pharmaceutical companies are destroying our lives with their poisons and paying out millions in bribes to your lawmakers to sustain an artificial monopoly, see your doctor immediately for an injection that will make you docile and compliant.

[Elidor]

28. lol!

:thumbsup:

[Vinca]

25. There's only one way to get back at the drug companies.

Don't buy their products unless it's an absolute necessity. The past few years they've tried to convince us we need EVERYTHING to live to a ripe, old age. We don't. It's bullshit. Tell 'em to go to hell.

[Digit]

39. Already did

Stopped two pharmaceuticals recently.
I had enough!

[progressivebydesign]

26. WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MEDIA????

That assbags like Frist can actually tie protections for the corporations that support him into ANTI-TERROR bills make me physically ill.. Where the fuck are the family values people? Or those that think the whole Anti-Terror thing is real? Don't they care that it's a sham? Don't they care that people like Frist are using money and resources that are supposed to keep us safe instead for harming children and enriching his benefactors??

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MEDIA???????????????????? The assholes in suits running the corporation news organizations are no more journalists than Jeff Gannon was. We must loosen the right handed grip on our FREE PRESS!!!!!

I have long believed that THIS is the most important issue facing us all.. because lack of a free press allows all the other atrocities to occur unnoticed, unrecorded, and uninvestigated. The incurios greedy fucks in charge of mainstream media must go. Now. Children are being harmed, our environment is being strangled, and our troops are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan. We need to take back the media!

[cthrumatrix]

27. ask the CIA when they "infested the media"... that will open you eyes

[Karenina]

35. Operation Mockingbird, was it?

;-)

[evolvenow]

42. Yep.Mockingbird. MSM=CIA direct takeover of major news since 1940's

MSM=CIA direct takeover of major news since 1940's-THAT'S WHY!!

Please keep kicked, and tell everyone, everywhere.

MOCKINGBIRD

The Subversion Of The Free Press By The CIA

As terrible as it is to live in a nation where the press in known to be controlled by the government, at least one has the advantage of knowing the bias is present, and to adjust for it. In the United States of America, we are taught from birth that our press is free from such government meddling. This is an insideous lie about the very nature of the news institution in this country.
One that allows the government to lie to us while denying the very fact of the lie itself.

The Alex Constantine Article
Tales from the Crypt

The Depraved Spies and Moguls

of the CIA's Operation MOCKINGBIRD

by Alex Constantine

Who Controls the Media?

Soulless corporations do, of course. Corporations with grinning,
double-breasted executives, interlocking directorates, labor squabbles
and flying capital. Dow. General Electric. Coca-Cola. Disney.
Newspapers should have mastheads that mirror the world: The
Westinghouse Evening Scimitar, The Atlantic-Richfield Intelligentser .
It is beginning to dawn on a growing number of armchair ombudsmen that
the public print reports news from a parallel universe - one that has
never heard of politically-motivated assassinations, CIA-Mafia banking
thefts, mind control, death squads or even federal agencies with
secret budgets fattened by cocaine sales - a place overrun by lone
gunmen, where the CIA and Mafia are usually on their best behavior. In
this idyllic land, the most serious infraction an official can commit
__is a the employment of a domestic servant with (shudder) no
residency status.

This unlikely land of enchantment is the creation of MOCKINGBIRD.

It was conceived in the late 1940s, the most frigid period of the cold
war, when the CIA began a systematic infiltration of the corporate
media, a process that often included direct takeover of major news
outlets.

Please Keep this kicked until everyone in America understands WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE MSM! It is on purpose. Educate yourself and others, this is key.

.....Mr. Kennedy’s article was published today only in Rolling Stone and on Salon.com. The article links the CDC, FDA and Bill Frist to major drug companies, including GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Wyeth, and Aventis Pasteur that continued to include thimerosal in their vaccines despite studies showing the damage – and death – it caused in humans.

GOOD MORNING AMERICA

Good Morning America Staff,

After all the talk of how the media is caving into pressure to not cover important topics, how can ABC cancel its interview with Robert Kennedy Jr about children's vaccines laced with thimerosal?

Don't you people have any conscience? Don't you care that children might die from these drugs? You tell people not to eat too much fish because of mercury levels, but you would turn your back on the smallest among us and let them die so drug companies can prosper?

THIS is what is wrong with the media in America. You bow to the almighty buck or the powerful - take your pick.

As Martin Luther King once said, "All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to remain silent."

Shame on you all.

30. Read Kennedy's article at Salon.com

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2005/06/16/thimerosal/index.html

It's incredibly damning. No surprise ABC dropped him like a hot rock. Thimerosal is going to be the biggest medical scandal in US history.

34. Horrifying...what they did to our children.

[evolvenow]

43. Yes, Mercury, Vaccines, Fillings, Depleted Uranium , MAJOR POISONS..Be ver

very, very careful about taking ANY DRUG. The PHARMA industry is DEADLY, and very much based on $$$, not your safety or well being, if you are well you will not buy more drugs. There are certain medicines that are helpful, but if you do not really need it, life or death, I would really look into alternatives.

Didn't they force vaccines on all of the TROOPS? So many people will fall ill from these types of drugs plus the exposure to DU. But then that is just my opinion, and my father is a doctor.

kick and thank goddess for intelligent, amazing individuals like Kennedy for telling the TRUTH!

33. Media have long buried Bush - drug co. connections

George H. W. Bush (41) had lots of connections to drug companies, since the '70's.

The DSMs may not be enough, but we can add bribery and corruption. I will be reposting that thread on the Big Tobzcco payoff this (Fri) afternoon, hoping that we can collect documents and good links for the history of tobacco connections with the Bush/Cheney cartel and also other bribery/corruption cases. I'll post a link in the current Big TObacco payoff thread when I start the new one. I hope it draws more interest than it has so far.

The DSMs are very helpful, but I'm not at all sure that average Americans will "get" them - especially with the suppressed and distorted coverage. Bribery and corruption are more familiar, easily understood and - potentially - provable.

I have very little hope for this country left. The MSM is just total shit.

55. ABC Flips: To Now Air 'Killed' Robert Kennedy Jr. Interview. ABC Responds

This is the story that came up now when I clicked on the link in the initial post.


ABC Flips: To Now Air 'Killed' Robert Kennedy Jr. Interview. ABC Responds ...

Huffington Post


ABC News will now air the 'killed' Robert Kennedy Jr. interview after all.

ABC statement: “Had anyone called us abut your unsourced posting I would have been glad to tell you that ABC News is hard at work on that report. We will air when and if we deem it ready, as our audience would expect. As for the rest of the post, at least as it pertains to ABC and ABC News, there isn't a shred of truth. I think your source is using you to try and influence us. That's ineffective, not to mention, dishonest.”

HuffPost responds: 1) Our post is based only on people involved first hand. 2) We stand behind our original story.

Previously, ABC corporate executives at the network's highest levels ordered three interviews with Robert Kennedy Jr. pulled from ABC News programming.

The interviews all centered around Mr. Kennedy's investigation of thimerosal, a mercury based preservative, used in vaccines given to children and believed to be responsible for increasing cases of neurological diseases including autism.

63. I am sitting here with my daughter who has autism and I am sick

I just got off the phone with Frist's office and told his staffer that I was physically ill to think that Frist had accepted money from big pharma to hide the truth and to protect them over the dangers of thimerosal. I informed them that I am sending a copy of the article to every family I know who has a child with autism, and I know HUNDREDS, and he should expect to receive thousands of phone calls from irate parents, family members and friends demanding accountability.

Nice to finally find out who slipped the Eli Lilly protection rider into the Homeland Security bill. Figures it was the stinking whore Frist.

[FreeStateDemocrat]

64. Thanks for having the character and motivation to take action. If there

were another million like you who firmly fought back at these outrages against humanity, these soulless bastards would all be locked up. There should be no mercy for any person in a position of power and trust who harms unsuspecting defenseless children. This includes all those responsible for the hell we have created in Iraq for innocent children.

72. Here's my e-mail to 20/20 and the news department

Oh how the mighty have fallen. I used to think that ABC was a company which valued its viewers and the dissemination of news and information. Obviously I've been living in the past.

Your decision to cancel the interview with Robert Kennedy Jr regarding the link between autism and mercury poisoning from childhood vaccinations has obviously been made because of the fact that your major source of advertising revenue comes from the big pharmaceutical companies.

Shame on you, that you would put your bottom line over the public knowing about this danger to the health of their children.

I have given up on ABC. I don't bother watching your so-called "World News Tonight" anyway, because it's no longer news but infotainment. Thank God for PBS and the BBC.
