Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 NPR has been the single most hostile news outlet towards the mercury-vaccine-autism idea among ALL of the major American media, in my humble opinion NY Times Article By Gardiner http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/22/health/22radio.html?ref=us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I agree, I've called and emailed them on the vaccine subject and all they will tell me is that they appreciate my input. Ask questions and they will not reveal who their major contributors are but I have a fair idea. > > NPR has been the single most hostile news outlet towards the > mercury-vaccine-autism idea among ALL of the major American media, in my > humble opinion > > NY Times Article By Gardiner > > http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/22/health/22radio.html?ref=us > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I have been told by various producers at NPR: “Take me off your mailing list” “All that was disproven back in 1999” “Contact us when your NEXT book comes out” For some reason, this subject is worthy of Meet the Press, WNET-13/PBS, NYU Law School, Larry King Live, CNN International, Air America, Barack Obama and McCain, etc etc, but NPR thinks it is just too “fringe” for them.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I've been watching Goodwin for a while.Goodwin sits on the pharma think tank, ACSH, with Offit to boot: http://tinyurl.com/6jgurp Too true, NPR strikes me as a lot more evil than most big media when it comes to pharmaceutical issues. That NPR hired Goodwin in the first place-- even if he hadn't been a shill for pharma-- is shocking enough on its own. I couldn't believe it when I heard it. Fred Goodwin was famously the engineer of the second " Federal Violence Initiative " when he worked in government. The Federal Violence initiatives were-- in cooperation with major universities like Harvard and Columbia and supported by NIMH, etc.-- responsible for: 1) performing spinal taps on and taking irradiating brain-scans of inner city toddlers with the aim of finding genetic proof that blacks are " violence prone " (and they're trying to nail Dr. Wakefield for performing taps on actually sick children?) 2) rounding up the siblings of juvenile delinquents housed in detention centers-- all of them black males-- and then subjecting the children to doses of phentenyl 10 times higher than what would make an adult ill. This was, if I understand correctly, to cull out aggressive behavior in the children (? Or just to harm them?), again to " prove " a racial component to violence. 3) specifically screen minority youth for " violence potential " 4) funded biased studies favorable to the view that drug addiction, violence and unstable families were genetically inherant to some racial minorities. No kidding-- it all really happened. Documents were found in which Goodwin described plans to prophylactically drug and perform psychosurgery on young black men as " violence prevention " . On a February 11, 1992 meeting of the National Advisory Mental Health Council Fred Goodwin compared " inner city youth to monkeys who live in a jungle, who just want to kill each other, have sex and reproduce. " I know what the source of this statement was. In the late 80s, a British primatologist at Harvard by the name of Wrangham came out with (and then published) an extraordinary study done with Dale comparing " patriarchal " chimpanzees and " matriarchal/egalitarian " bonobos (pygmy chimps) and then tracing animal behavior to exact parallels with human patterns of war and violence. Wrangham was very specific that this parallel held for all societies and all races-- not of " minorities " or any particular race. The bent of the book was solidly humanist, anti-racist and " evolutionary feminist " and proposed optimistic social organization solutions to violence (extinguishing racism was one obvious strategy), but its meaning was bastardized as spin-off articles were written on Wrangham's research, most of then never accrediting Wrangham's original work. Goodwin was one of the people who bastardized the theme of the book to his own ends (inadvertantly proving Wrangham's overall point about the roots of human xeonophobia and injustice. But anyway...). In the end, the NAACP and black radio hosts across the US lobbied for Goodwin's termination from ADAMHA after his statements were made public. Government officials were so embarrassed by Goodwin's behavior that, after Goodwin resigned from ADAMHA, they appointed him head of the NIMH. NPR was so shocked by this history that they gave him his own show. Now they're pretending to be shocked that he was on the take? Amazing. Oh, he's kind of a Mengele? Eh, fine. Conflicted?

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Thank you, Dr. Stoller. Goodwin's kind of the epitome. Of course NPR must have suspected the conflict and didn't care. Harvard didn't fire Biederman when Grassley went after him, proving that major institutions under Bush haven't worried about these disclosures that much. I think the unstated reason that NPR may have been nervous about keeping Goodwin on is because of the regime change: we now have a black president and censorship of the truth of Goodwin's eugenic history couldn't reign much longer. The Federal Violence Initiative was in the " Tuskegee league " as far as racist horror. NPR probably isn't yet sure where Obama's ideology will land on the issue of corrupt genetics and biopsychiatry, but they could be sure that the racial issue would bring negative attention in itself. They're hedging their bets, repositioning a little. > > That was a very concise and accurate bio of Goodwin, a nasty, nasty man, as the Senator from Idaho might say. > > > KP Stoller, MD > President, International Hyperbaric Medical Assoc > Medical Director, Hyperbaric Medical Center of New Mexico > www.hbotnm.com > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
