The mainstream media and conventional medicine have done everything in their power to convince the world that vaccines don’t cause autism. But if that’s really true, then why are the very same vaccines that are given to people causing autism in primates? A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania found that some of the most commonly administered vaccines caused autism in monkeys. The monkeys were given standard doses that simulated the same doses given to children — the researchers naturally adjusted the vaccine doses based on the monkeys’ weights to keep everything on an even keel. Continue reading “Baby monkeys given standard doses of popular vaccines develop symptoms of autism”

Dodging questions posed by George Stephanopoulos, Hillary Clinton left no doubt that she doesn’t believe in the individual right to bear arms as recognized by the second amendment. In fact, the Brady Campaign is already boasting that gun control is a central plank of Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
But it’s one thing to boast, another to have Hillary’s duplicity on the record, but yet another to have the committee members of the DNC say out loud what they really think about guns. And that’s just what we’ve got. Continue reading “DNC Platform Committee Member Doesn’t Think Anyone Should Have A Gun”
