The military continued vaccinating soldiers with the untested, unapproved, deadly vaccine, with catastrophic results.The vaccine caused symptomatic myocarditis in one in every 216 soldiers, and subclinical myocarditis in one in thirty-five soldiers, according to a 2015 US Army study. – The Real Anthony Fauci
The Gulf War was a rapid and overwhelming victory for the United States that had very few battlefield casualties for our armed forces. However, soon after the war, almost 36% of soldiers (approximately 250,000 of the 697,000 who served) came down with a debilitating illness that eventually came to be known as “Gulf War Syndrome (GWS).” Initially, the military gaslighted the veterans by insisting that the illness was due to stress (which for many reasons was nonsensical), and then introduced a variety of contradictory studies to explain what else could be causing GWS. - Robert Malone
During the last 3 years I bumped into Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) and vaccines in the same sentence a couple of times, and by that point I was ready to accept the underlying premise and not dismiss it out of hand. I’ve finally come back to spend some time in that rabbit hole and wrap my head around the overall shape of the story.
So, I watched Direct Order (2003) to get my bearings. It’s short, well put together and recommend viewing, especially if you have anyone in your life that’s in the army, not just the American army. The armed forces seem to be a preferred target of the pharma machine, as it’s a captive audience that has to do what it is told, at the threat of a court martial, fines, prison or all of the above.
We’ll come back to the documentary in a minute, let’s start off with some “trusted” sources to explain to us what GWS is:
Gulf War Syndrome, also known as Gulf War Illness, refers to a complex of medical symptoms reported by veterans of the 1990-1991 Gulf War. The causes of these symptoms remain unclear, although a number of factors have been investigated, including exposure to chemical warfare agents, vaccines, environmental toxins, stress, and more.
The symptoms of Gulf War Syndrome can vary widely among those affected, but they often include a combination of the following:
· Fatigue
· Muscle and joint pain
· Cognitive problems, including memory loss, difficulty concentrating, and other issues
· Mood disturbances, such as depression or anxiety
· Sleep disturbances
· Gastrointestinal symptoms, such as diarrhea or constipation
· Respiratory symptoms
· Skin problems
Because the symptoms are so diverse and nonspecific, Gulf War Syndrome has been a difficult condition to define and diagnose. As a result, it has been a topic of significant controversy and debate.
It's a mystery! All these years later they have no idea what it could be.
It’s the same story, again and again.
Force an injection, ruin people’s lives, lie and distract about the cause…do it all over again.
The types of “distractions” used in this instance, and again from “trusted” sources:
The cause or causes of Gulf War Syndrome, also known as Gulf War Illness, remain unclear and are a topic of ongoing research and debate. It's likely that multiple factors contribute to the condition, potentially including both environmental exposures and genetic or individual characteristics. Here are some of the factors that have been investigated:
1. Chemical Exposures: Gulf War veterans were potentially exposed to a wide range of chemicals, including low levels of nerve gas (from demolition of weapons depots), pesticides (used extensively during the war), and smoke from oil well fires. Some research suggests a possible link between these exposures and Gulf War Illness.
2. Pyridostigmine Bromide: This is a drug that was given to troops during the Gulf War to protect against the effects of nerve gas. Some research suggests it might be linked to Gulf War Illness, particularly when combined with other chemical exposures.
3. Stress and Psychological Factors: The Gulf War was a high-stress environment, and some researchers have suggested that stress or other psychological factors might contribute to Gulf War Illness. However, the symptoms of Gulf War Illness are distinct from those of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other stress-related conditions, and many experts believe that stress alone cannot explain the illness.
4. Depleted Uranium: Some troops were exposed to depleted uranium from armor-piercing ammunition. While high levels of uranium exposure can cause health problems, research has not found a link between low-level uranium exposure and Gulf War Illness.
5. Infectious Diseases: Troops in the Gulf War were potentially exposed to a variety of infectious diseases, and some researchers have suggested that these might contribute to Gulf War Illness. However, research in this area has not found a definitive link.
It’s clear to me that they have used a “catch-all meta tag” to create the largest “carpet” possible to sweep the greatest number of issues underneath it. Same strategy they’ve successfully used before with Polio and African AIDS.
It’s obviously not deleted uranium, as Kuwait’s would be riddled with GWS otherwise, but that is not to say that no solider at all has been affected by depleted uranium. So, assuming there is a tiny number impacted by depleted uranium, well GWS provides the perfect “we have no idea, please look at my shrugging shoulders” diagnosis.
The documentary, and the clip in the masthead points to anthrax vaccines and squalene as the likely cause. I don’t know whether that is true or not, we’ll come to that shortly, but there is no question in my mind that the primary cause of most of the conditions that are swept under the GWS carpet, is an injection.
Robert Kennedy Jr in The Real Anthony Fauci points to the smallpox vaccine:
Smallpox: Biosecurity Blossoms
Dark Winter was part of a persistent campaign by the intelligence agencies and the bioweapons lobby to keep smallpox fears alive in the public consciousness. Even before the disease was eradicated in 1977, public health regulators had discontinued smallpox vaccinations in the United States. Public health advocates urged the federal bureaucracies and the military to destroy their smallpox stockpile,51 to prevent the disease from escaping and, possibly, decimating humanity. Ignoring these warnings, the George W. Bush administration purchased even more. During the run-up to the Iraq war, President Bush aimed to inoculate the US population with smallpox vaccines. Skeptics charged that the reckless scheme was PNAC’s transparent gimmick for hyping fear of Saddam Hussein’s mythological bioweapons program. Dr. Meryl Nass, writing on the history of smallpox vaccine, later reported:
The smallpox vaccine was known to be highly reactogenic… . When the vaccine was given to healthcare workers and first responders in 2003, episodes of heart failure, heart attacks, myocarditis, and death quickly mounted. Doctors and nurses learned that they could not sue for damages if injured, and at first there was no federal compensation either. They began refusing to be vaccinated.52
The Clinton administration continued to stockpile millions of smallpox vaccines and Congress allotted money for a compensation program, but the maximum award was only
$250,000 for a permanent disability or death. After distributing 40,000,000 inoculations, the wave of alarming injuries caused the government to abandon the project’s civilian arm. The military continued vaccinating soldiers with the untested, unapproved, deadly vaccine, with catastrophic results.53The vaccine caused symptomatic myocarditis in one in every 216 soldiers, and subclinical myocarditis in one in thirty-five soldiers, according to a 2015 US Army study. Government officials have since recognized vaccines as a probable culprit in the era’s epidemic of Gulf War Syndrome, which affected vaccinated soldiers, both deployed and those vaccinated in preparation for deployment, but never deployed. (The court observed that “Absent an informed consent or presidential waiver, the United States cannot demand that members of the armed forces also serve as guinea pigs for experimental drugs.”54,55)
A Midwestern Doctor points to the anthrax vaccine and squalene:
Approximately 30 years ago, a forced vaccination campaign with an experimental anthrax vaccine was conducted on the US military. Over 100,000 soldiers were severely injured by something (which was almost certainly the vaccine). At the time, numerous investigations were launched (including congressional hearings) to find out what happened with these vaccines, although since that time most of what transpired has mostly been forgotten (as the result of this scandal was the military being forbidden from forcing experimental vaccines onto our servicemen, yet this is exactly what happened with the COVID-19 vaccines). Fortunately, this subject was recently revisited by a sitting member of congress.
One (but not the only) compelling theory to explain what happened was that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) needed to develop an oil-based adjuvant in order to make many of the vaccines they had in the pipeline viable. In turn, our soldiers were experimented upon in order to determine the appropriate dosing of the new adjuvant. The points of support for this theory were:
•Many of those involved in this operation (and never faced consequences for their conduct) decades later also played key roles in Operation Warp Speed.
•The entire operation was run in a very suspicious fashion and the vaccine that the soldiers received was only labeled as “vaccine A” on their cards but did not appear in their medical records.
•An antibody test to squalene was developed after one physician realized many of the symptoms that the Gulf War veterans were experiencing could have been caused by an injection of squalene, which created auto-immunity to it (later a doctor who received an experimental herpes vaccine utilizing a squalene adjuvant came forward, and testified that from that he also developed the symptoms characteristic of Gulf War Syndrome). This antibody test was positive, and many of the veterans who had severe issues after the vaccination were positive. To further support this link, servicemen who have no choice except to vaccinate, volunteered to provide their blood before and after vaccination, and it was demonstrated that the vaccination caused the development of antibodies to squalene.
•After the colonel of an Air Force Base suspended the vaccine because multiple severe injuries happened to his servicemen immediately following vaccination, the Pentagon sent high ranking officials to reinstate the program. At the town hall they hosted, they initially denied that a squalene-based adjuvant was being used, and then later admitted that adjuvant was being looked at but would never be used in the anthrax vaccines.
•Later testing of the anthrax vaccine lots suspected to be hot lots (performed by the FDA) found that they contained squalene, and that the concentrations present precisely matched what would be expected in a dose response study to evaluate the effect of the adjuvant on humans. Although the geometrical increase in dose concentrations found almost certainly could not have happened without them being intentional, this point of evidence is also disputed because of just how low the concentrations were.
•At the time this happened, one of the Airforce captains who tried to stop the horrific injuries he observed in his fellow servicemen from continuing remarked: ““I want you to burn these two letters and two numbers into your consciousness (MF59) so you will remember them because squalene will next be used in civilian vaccines.” Years later, MF59 entered the market and is now used in numerous vaccines the general public receives as an adjuvant (squalene was also an adjuvant for some of the COVID-19 vaccine candidates that ultimately did not win the vaccine race).
But Christopher Shaw, in his masterpiece Dispatches from the Vaccine Wars, points to the anthrax vaccine and aluminum hydroxide (adjuvant):
That was the year when a graduate student in my laboratory and I decided to seek another cluster of Lou Gehrig’s disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS). In brief, my laboratory had been studying the cluster of ALS on Guam and decided that, to find more clues to this disorder, we had to broaden our search. To do so, we sought another cluster that might serve to diminish the number of potential causes of the disease.
In due course, we found one in Gulf War Syndrome, the mysterious multisystem disorder that emerged after the American Coalition’s 1991 war against Iraq. In this syndrome, ALS incidence in Coalition soldiers appeared to occur at a much higher incidence, and at a much younger age, than in the general population.
In turn, our reading of the published literature led to the emerging epidemiology on the syndrome that, in some cases, pointed the finger at the anthrax vaccine that most soldiers had received. The correlation with this vaccine seemed to be independent of whether the soldiers actually deployed to the Gulf or not. This fact alone seemed to rule out environmental factors that arose during the war such as exposure to oil well fires or anti-nerve gas agents.
With this as a background, we attempted to purchase the anthrax vaccine, made at that time by a company called BioPort. BioPort refused to sell us the vaccines, so we decided to simply look at the listed ingredients and try the components individually that, based on the scientific literature, seemed most likely to be involved. Two such ingredients stood out, both adjuvants, or helpers, to the vaccine: aluminum salts, such as aluminum hydroxide; and squalene, a tripertene. The first was acknowledged to be in the vaccine; the second was not, but other investigators were able to show that it was there in at least some of the anthrax vaccine vials. Aluminum was recognized as a neurotoxin even then.
We conducted a typical in vivo animal model study in which we injected young male mice with a weight-adjusted amount of aluminum hydroxide or squalene, versus both, and all compared to control mice getting only saline. At this time, we felt that we would fairly rapidly discover that there were no negative effects and go back to look for other possible causal factors for Gulf War Syndrome.
To our surprise, we found that the aluminum, in particular, had a significantly negative impact on motor functions and reflexes. Further, histological examinations showed that the motor cortex and spinal cords of the aluminum-treated mice had significant increases in motor neuron degeneration.2
--
Squalene itself is not an adjuvant in the same way that Al salts are but, when combined with various molecules in M59, is an immune stimulant, although why is not clearly known. The M59 adjuvant was reportedly used along with Al hydroxide in the anthrax vaccine made by BioPort and linked by various investigators to Gulf War Syndrome.82
--
Some of the first work on Al adjuvant neurotoxicity came from my laboratory with experiments using young adult male mice given s.c. injections of Al hydroxide.84 The first of these studies was an attempt to explore the hypothesis that this adjuvant, linked to some of the neurological outcomes of Gulf War Syndrome (GWS), would induce behavioral and pathological CNS outcomes resembling those seen in ALS. Indeed, the study results showed precisely such an outcome: neuronal death in motor neurons in the spinal cord and motor cortex accompanied by degraded motor function that became progressively more pronounced. The second study from my group used slightly older mice and found the same general outcomes. This latter study also showed clear evidence for Al having moved inside motor neurons along with evidence for an involvement of the resident immune cells of the brain, microglia, somewhere in the process leading to motor neuron degeneration. (See Fig. 5.2 and Fig 5.3a-c in the color insert.)
--
If my laboratory’s first experiments on aluminum adjuvants and their impacts in the CNS hadn’t found something credible, and statistically significant, we’d have followed the “nothing to see here, move along” perspective. That is to say, if the Gulf War Syndrome15 link to vaccines and aluminum had not borne fruit, we’d have been long gone searching for other ALS clusters with some resemblance to ALS-PDC.
Robert Malone and Meryl Nass point to the anthrax vaccine and its poor manufacture (not squalene):
He got involved with spook Pam Asa to claim that Gulf War syndrome and anthrax vaccine injuries were all due to squalene in vaccines. While squalene is not a safe adjuvant to include in vaccines, it was NEVER shown to be the cause of these illnesses. And the amounts of squalene in the vaccines were many orders of magnitude less than are used in current flu vaccines, which do not appear to cause Gulf War syndrome. Inexplicably, his supporters went bonkers when I pointed this out. late 1990s
The Gulf War was a rapid and overwhelming victory for the United States that had very few battlefield casualties for our armed forces. However, soon after the war, almost 36% of soldiers (approximately 250,000 of the 697,000 who served) came down with a debilitating illness that eventually came to be known as “Gulf War Syndrome (GWS).” Initially, the military gaslighted the veterans by insisting that the illness was due to stress (which for many reasons was nonsensical), and then introduced a variety of contradictory studies to explain what else could be causing GWS.
Although a case can be made for many of the potential causes of GWS, by far the strongest case exists for the experimental anthrax vaccination campaign that was conducted during the Gulf War. This is because GWS was almost nonexistent in the other nations who participated in the Gulf War but did not vaccinate their troops, and an illness identical to GWS was observed in troops who were vaccinated but never left the United States (including those who were vaccinated a decade after the Gulf War).
The anthrax vaccine campaign continued long after the Gulf War ended, and eventually, the body count from it resulted in a 1998 law being passed that for the most part prohibited members of the military from being forced to take experimental (non-FDA approved) medications. Later in 2004, after a court overturned the anthrax mandate, a law was enacted to allow certain emergency-use authorizations. Sadly, as vaccine-injured friends in the military have shared with me (who for months first tried to lawfully avoid the illegal COVID-19 vaccine mandate), the military chose to disregard the legal process they were required to follow this time around.
The anthrax catastrophe also prompted congressional investigations of the DoD that exposed the same system that I believe was implemented to force the COVID-19 vaccines on the American population. During these proceedings in Congress, the DoD was uncharacteristically evasive in reporting their actions.
Note: Meryl Nass M.D., has actively advocated for the vaccine-injured servicemen and directly participated in legislative proceedings regarding the vaccines. I have learned a great deal about the vaccines through direct correspondence with her.
At this point, there are a few hypotheses to explain why the anthrax vaccine was so harmful. The most probable one (which Nass believes) is that many shortcuts were taken to be able to vaccinate the military in time for their deployment during the Gulf War. This was particularly problematic because the anthrax vaccine was an inherently dirty vaccine since its manufacturing process (which involved culturing, killing, and then purifying large numbers of anthrax bacteria) produced a substance that was highly likely to produce adverse reactions in the recipients, and was challenging to filter.
Due to the vaccine being produced in a rushed manner for the military, steps that could have made the vaccine cleaner were skipped. For example, when the manufacturer, Bioport, was investigated by the Government Accountability Organization (the GAO serves as Congress’s watchdog), it was discovered that Bioport exchanged the filters on the final vaccine product to larger ones that did not become clogged (but likewise were no longer as effective for purifying the vaccine), and failed to notify the FDA of this critical change. Similarly, the FDA also had concerns about other aspects of Bioport’s quality control, repeatedly cited Bioport for their manufacturing processes, and suspended shipments of the vaccine from their facility.
Bioport ultimately had to change its name (presumably due to the bad press it garnered from the anthrax vaccine), and the defense contractor was renamed Emergent Biosolutions. Recently, it was tasked with manufacturing Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine, and after quality control issues emerged, Emergent Biosolutions was required by the FDA to dispose of millions of improperly produced doses. It should be noted that FDA inspectors have come forward and disclosed that there are serious deficiencies in America’s vaccine manufacturing facilities (which the FDA has done very little to address), and that these quality control issues became much worse during Operation Warp Speed (the accelerated process to mass product COVID-19 vaccines).
Note: There are also two alternative hypotheses to explain the toxicity of the anthrax vaccines which both have compelling but inconclusive evidence supporting them. The first was that the vaccine deployed upon the military contained a (then experimental) squalene adjuvant which caused significant side effects (this hypothesis is discussed within the book Vaccine A). The second was that many of the symptoms experienced by the vaccine recipients came from a weaponized mycoplasma (this hypothesis has been extensively discussed by Garth Nicholson).
At the end of the masthead video, Bioport is mentioned.
I looked them up in The Real Anthony Fauci. I think you will find this passage interesting.
If I had to take a pick of all the prevailing theories, I think I’ll go with Nass, the anthrax vaccine and poor manufacture (that can concurrently be connected with Shaw’s accusation of aluminum hydroxide).
From The Real Anthony Fauci
Meet the El-Hibri Family
In 1998, Lebanese-born financier Ibrahim El-Hibri and his son, Fuad, with former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral William Crowe, Jr., established a corporation called BioPort and paid the state of Michigan $25 million for its aging vaccine manufacturing campus. The purpose the El- Hibris intended to use the factory for was to manufacture anthrax vaccine for sale to the US military. El-Hibri Sr. was a longtime associate of both Robert Kadlec and Admiral Crowe
—who chaired the Joint Chiefs under Presidents Reagan and George H. W. Bush. The El-Hibris had previous success in the anthrax vaccine business, having made a small fortune by purchasing anthrax vaccines made by the UK government and reselling them at 100 times the purchase price to the Saudi Arabian government.22Less than a month after taking over the Michigan-based business, BioPort signed an exclusive $29 million contract with the Pentagon to “manufacture, test, bottle, and store the anthrax vaccine” for American troops stationed abroad.23The secretary of the Army indemnified the factory the day before signing the contract on September 3, 1998. The El-Hibris never safety-tested their concoction. They didn’t have to—they had no liability for injuries.
Ten months before the El-Hibris bought the plant, an FDA audit uncovered contamination problems, suspect record keeping, and assorted security breaches at their laboratory, as well as nine million stored doses that were adulterated. Almost as soon as BioPort was formed, it began receiving large sums from the US Army to rehabilitate the anthrax plant. But it was still unable to pass an FDA audit. In 1999, they bulldozed the factory and rebuilt it at taxpayer expense. The state of Michigan sweetened the deal. But the FDA would not give its stamp of approval to the new manufacturing facility. BioPort, with a hefty lobbying team and designer furniture in its executive offices, kept crying poor and coming back to the US government for additional handouts24 before finally falling into a death spiral around the bankruptcy drain in mid-2001.25 The October 2001 anthrax incidents proved the El-Hibris’ salvation. The Pentagon leveraged the strange attacks, turning them into the long-awaited provocation, justifying the crusade to expand the battlefront in bioweapons research.
Bottom line, the US military actively and knowingly poisons its men and women.
It is the ultimate betrayal.
