THAT GOLD THING AGAIN: AUSTRIA EXPRESSES CONCERN… NOT TO THE NY FED, BUT TO THE OLD LADY OF THREADNEEDLE…

April 2, 2015 by Joseph P. Farrell in Bankers • http://gizadeathstar.com/2015/04/that-gold-thing-again-austria-expresses-concern-not-to-the-ny-fed-but-to-the-old-lady-of-threadneedle/

You may have missed this one too. I know I certainly did, until Mr. V.T. brought it to my attention. You'll recall there was, for the past couple of years, an effort by some nations to repatriate their gold from Western banks, mostly in Paris, London, and especially, the New York Federal Reserve. Hugo Chavez's Venezuela actually led off the repatriation frenzy, when he repatriated some of that nation's few tons of gold. But then came Germany, with, reputedly, the world's second highest amount of gold reserves in western banks, at over 3,000 tons. The move for repatriation spread to the Netherlands, to Switzerland, and then after some suspicious dwaddling on the part of the US Federal Reserve, the Bundesbank announced that only a few tons had been recovered, but that nonetheless, everything was ok, go home, nothing to see here. Austria followed all of this repatriation flurry with a call of its own to the NY Fed to repatriate its gold.
But now Austria, it seems, is question another of the Jachin-Boaz pillars of the western financial system, the Bank of England itself:
Austria Expresses Concern Over Their Gold At BOE
Now, note what the Austrian report states concerning its Bank of England gold reserves:

"The Austrian Court of Audit expresses great concern about the disproportionate amount of official gold reserves (229.6 tonnes) stored at the Bank Of England (BOE), which will be the Austrians excuse for repatriating, “the gold depository contract with the depository in England contained deficiencies” and, “gold reserves stored abroad, internal auditing measures were lacking”. They’re putting it blunt for an official source on a topic so sensitive as gold.
"The OeNB didn’t have any proper auditing rights or access to their own gold at the BOE until 2013. This is line with what Bundesbank executive board member Carl-Ludwig Thiele said in 2011, “We’re in negotiations with our partner central banks [FRBNY] to develop auditing rights.” Apparently, foreign central banks had no rights whatsoever to audit their own gold at the BOE or Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) until 2013."
(Emphasis in the original)

Now wait a minute...! We're seriously being asked to believe that there were, until 2013, no internationally agreed-upon auditing agreements between various central banks with respect to deposits of bullion reserves!? I'm not buying that, but let's pursue that idea briefly, just for kicks. Now, recall Hjalmar Schacht's statements in his memoirs concerning his 1928 visit to the New York Fed, where he recounts the fact that the NY Fed could not locate the Reichsbank's gold reserves. Could this be a hint that there were loose-to-no-agreed-upon auditing procedures even then? And why, then, would central bankers not want any such auditing procedures, unless the objective was to be able to obfuscate the amounts of gold in existence, not only from various national security considerations for the respective nations involved, but also to be able to tinker with the gold standard itself? What if they knew there was a lot more (or less) gold in existence than the official guestimates?
But the idea of no auditing procedures at the Bank of England? Someone has to have a more or less good picture of the amounts of gold in the world, but who?
I'll give you two guesses, and they both concern my high octane speculation of the day, and one of them is in Basel, and the other is in Rome: the Bank of International Settlements, and the Institute for Religious Works (aka the "Vatican Bank"). And surprise surprise, both of those institutions have the same accouting firm as auditing firm of record, the last time I looked... And the last time I looked, both of those banks became connected with all that Axis loot that I believe formed the nucleus of a post-war hidden system of finance, the BIS becoming the favored bank of the Nazis, and the Vatican bank became the repository, according to the researches of Peggy and Sterling Seagrave in their important book, Gold Warriors, for some of that Japanese Operation Golden Lily plunder.  Of course, we'll never know, because it's only high octane speculation, and we'll never see the books. They probably won't in Vienna, either.

Shaken Baby Syndrome Used to Imprison Parents to Cover Up Vaccine Damage?

Every year, hundreds of U.S. parents are tried and convicted in criminal court for supposedly killing their babies by shaking them. But the nebulous condition known as “shaken baby syndrome,” or SBS, appears to be a grand misnomer contrived for the sole purpose of covering up the real causes of SBS death, which include vaccine damage.
The presupposition is that if a deceased child exhibits things like bleeding at the back of the eye, bleeding from the protective area around the brain or brain swelling, then he must have been vigorously shaken by someone prior to his death. But this may or may not actually be the case, especially with new research suggesting that most humans aren’t capable of shaking an infant hard enough to produce the symptoms commonly associated with SBS.
The Washington Post (WP) recently indicted this faulty diagnosis, pointing out that up to two-thirds of the SBS cases prosecuted each year show no outward signs of physical injury. This means that something else besides physical abuse is responsible for most cases of SBS falsely attributed to external maltreatment by a parent or guardian.
“[T]his is the reason SBS is such a convenient diagnosis,” wrote Radley Balko for the WP. “It allows prosecutors to charge a suspected abuser despite no outward signs of abuse.”
Many SBS cases likely caused by vaccine damage, which courts typically ignore
In the same breath, Balko admits that “other causes” have been shown to produce SBS symptoms, which is something that vaccine skeptics have been saying for years. In many alleged SBS cases, a lack of physical injury is accompanied by the fact that SBS victims had been recently vaccinated, something the courts have mostly ignored or denied.
Dr. F. Edward Yazbak, M.D., F.A.A.P., conducted an investigation into this several years back after observing odd similarities between four SBS cases. Three vaccines in particular — a five-in-one combination vaccine, an HIB conjugate vaccine, and a heptavalent pediatric pneumococcal vaccine — were linked to the condition due to their antigen combinations.
The critically acclaimed new film The Syndrome also tackles this major elephant in the room, covering how many a parent is now wrongfully serving a harsh prison sentence for “killing” his or her child, when in fact vaccines likely produced the hemorrhaging and bleeding in the brain that led to the child’s death.
“What happens when widely held beliefs based on junk science lead to the convictions of innocent people?” asks a description the film.
“The Syndrome is an explosive documentary following the crusade of a group of doctors, scientists, and legal scholars who have uncovered that ‘Shaken Baby Syndrome,’ a child abuse theory responsible for hundreds of prosecutions each year in the US, is not scientifically valid. In fact, they say, it does not even exist.”

Legal precedent needs to change so more innocent parents aren’t jailed when their children die from vaccines

With its emphasis currently on finality rather than reasonable doubt, the criminal justice system will continue to convict innocent parents of murder even when evidence to support this charge is inconclusive. Thus, the criminal justice system needs to revamp the way it looks at SBS cases to recognize the flawed science that presently backs the myth that SBS is almost always caused by physical abuse, which is most definitely not the case.
“[A] person wrongly convicted in a case where new science later shows that the evidence used against them was flawed or overstated is no less innocent than someone wrongly convicted in a case where DNA shows a different guy did it,” wrote Balko for the WP.
“[N]ow that we know that the criminal justice system is prone to error, perhaps it’s time to revisit the post-conviction emphasis on finality, particularly in cases decided on evidence that science later calls into doubt.”

GMO Critics Vindicated: Biotech Corporations Were Pushing Fraud All Along

By Ethan A. Huff

Global Research, March 31, 2015

Natural News

Theme: Biotechnology and GMO, Media Disinformation

The sordid sequence of events that opened the floodgates for the genetic takeover of the American food supply — that is, the mass introduction of untested genetically-engineered (GE) food ingredients on the sly — is outlined in an eye-opening new book by American public interest lawyer Steve Druker, entitled Altered Genes, Twisted Truth.
Drudging up several decades’ worth of historical facts surrounding genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) and the way biotechnology companies got them onto the market without proper testing, Druker tells the true story about “Frankenfood” that you’ll never hear about on any of the major corporate new networks. From the very beginning, GMOs came to be a thing not because they are superior or safe, but because powerful interests got them there illicitly.
In the book’s foreword, award-winning humanitarian and leading primate expert Dr. Jane Goodall lauds Druker for bringing to light a number of important truths about GMOs, including that they have never undergone appropriate safety testing; have never been shown to be safe for human consumption; and were not even approved in accordance with federal law.
GMOs are illegal: Their secret introduction into the food supply was an illicit con from the very start
When they were first being developed back in the early 1980s, GMOs were hailed as the solution to world hunger. Their proponents argued, and still do, that conventional and organic food crops are inferior, and that GMOs address the problems of drought and pestilence that lead to reduced yields, and in some cases food shortages.
But the science behind these claims is lacking, and many scientists and researchers at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) who were tasked with reviewing GMO safety and effectiveness prior to their commercial approval vocalized this. As explained in Druker’s book, the concerns of these FDA scientists were largely ignored, and GMOs were rammed through the system illegally.
“[I]nformation that Druker pried from the agency’s files through a lawsuit revealed that [the agency] apparently ignored (and covered up) the concerns of its own scientists and then violated a federal statute and its own regulations by permitting GE foods to be marketed without any testing whatsoever,” writes Dr. Goodall.
Genetic engineering isn’t the same as cross-breeding and hybridization
Another popular, but unsubstantiated, claim about GMOs is that they are substantially equivalent to their non-GMO counterparts (except when it comes to patent protection; in this case, GMOs are regarded as substantially different in order to accommodate obscene corporate profits). As explained in the book, biotech companies have intentionally misled the public on the differences between artificial genetic engineering and cross-breeding, resulting in mass confusion.
“This very real difference between GM plants and their conventional counterparts is one of the basic truths that biotech proponents have endeavored to obscure,” says Dr. Goodall. “As part of the process, they portrayed the various concerns as merely the ignorant opinions of misinformed individuals — and derided them as not only unscientific, but anti-science.”
“They then set to work to convince the public and government officials, through the dissemination of false information, that there was an overwhelming expert consensus, based on solid evidence, that the new foods were safe. Yet this, as Druker points out, was clearly not true.”
GMO skeptics aren’t anti-science — the biotechnology industry is!
In its most recent issue, National Geographic magazine brazenly asserted that anyone who questions the safety or benefits of GMOs is “anti-science.” The mainstream media and government health authorities are constantly throwing around this buzzword in an attempt to silence anyone who opposes the golden calves of modern society, whether they be GMOs or things like pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and fluoride.
If you take the time to investigate the supposed “science” backing GMOs, you will quickly realize that none of it holds any water. Nearly every published study that supposedly backs the safety of GMOs, in fact, can be directly traced back to the industries pushing GMOs. Evidence of long-term GMO safety is non-existent, and the only trials conducted for longer than 90 days were pioneered by independent scientists, many of whom have reported serious risks associated with GMOs.
“Contrary to the assertions of its proponents, the massive enterprise to reconfigure the genetic core of the world’s food supply is not based on sound science but on the systematic subversion of science — and it would collapse if subjected to an open airing of the facts,” maintains Druker about this highly corrupt industry.
Criminal TTIP trade agreement will allow more illegal GMOs to enter Europe from US
Druker’s book is an evidence-based goldmine that counters all the prevailing myths about GMO safety using actual science. Contrary to what the “experts” often claim, altering plant organisms with foreign genes and toxic bacteria is an imprecise “science” (if you can even call it science), and the risks of this largely undefined technology are vast.
And to make matters worse, the spread of GMOs is continuing all around the world, even in places like Europe where GMOs are largely banned. The so-called “Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership”, or TTIP, for instance, threatens to bypass European law by creating a special trade partnership between Europe and North America.
According to The Centre for Research on Globalization, one of the key points in the ongoing TTIP negotiation process (which is largely taking place in secret, without public scrutiny) involves reducing the existing barriers that prohibit North American grains and other foodstuffs (many of which are GMO) from being exported to Europe.
“TTIP is an attempted corporate coup d’etat where big business on both sides of the Atlantic is trying to achieve in secret negotiations what it could not get in open and democratic processes — from watering down food safety standards to rolling back regulations in the financial sector,” reads a cited quote by Pia Eberhardt from the lobby-watchdog group Corporate Europe Observancy.
