In the Most Holy Name of Allah, Who came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad to Whom all holy praises are forever due. I bear witness that there is no God but Allah. I bear witness that the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad is His living and Exalted Christ.

I further bear witness that the Honorable Brother Minister Louis Farrakhan is the man whose time we are blessed to live. The time that most of the world for the last 2,000 years had dreamed of living in and we are here by Allah’s Grace, living in a time of the Messiah, the Honorable Brother Minister Louis Farrakhan. 

I thank Allah for the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Brother Minister Farrakhan. I would like to thank my colleagues on the Shura Executive Council of the Nation of Islam. I am humbled and honored to serve with each and every one of you. My appreciation to Brother Student Minister Ishmael Muhammad, the National Assistant to the Honorable Brother Minister Farrakhan, for inviting me back to this august rostrum, which I never rush to.

I’m honored by this opportunity to discuss at my brother’s request this very critical subject; a very time-sensitive subject. Why time-sensitive? 

We are today witnessing a renaissance of UFO fascination and popularity, both with the public and in the press. Between the years 2020 and 2023, in particular, we have witnessed government public disclosure of a nature unparalleled in the past. In May 2022, for the first time in 50 years, public Congressional hearings were held on Capitol Hill on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs); now Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena—the new official tag for what is popularly called UFOs.

During this hearing, we saw and heard U.S. government officials verify the reality of these crafts and that they are a grave national security threat. The chairman of the hearing panel, Indiana Representative Andre Carson, declared in his opening remarks that UAPs are real, unexplained and are a potential national security threat that need to be treated as such.

If that were not explosive enough, this herring was followed up with another held in July, during which the world heard admissions of the retrieval of crashed UFOs and the government’s possession of non-human biologics. Now you should understand the trick here. When they say non-human biological material, they allow you to think they are referring to gray, bug-eyed aliens but they are not. When they say non-human, they are in fact referring to you and to the Black pilots that they know are flying these advanced crafts.

See White folks hold themselves up as the true human and when talking about the pilots of these so-called UFOs, they like to use the language, humanoid and alien.  “Alien” means foreign or not natural and “humanoid” is a non-human entity that has the appearance of a human. “Human” comes from the Latin word, “humanus” meaning “man of the Earth.” That is not you White folks.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that the Black man is “Aboriginal” and that we came with the Earth from the very beginning 76 or 78 trillion years ago. The Asiatic Black man is the true human and the Caucasian White man is Earth’s alien humanoid, made in the image and in the likeness of the Black man. This is why they have two arms and two legs and one head, just like us. They are humanoid.

This new period of government disclosure was inaugurated in December 2017 with a game-changing article published in the New York Times in 2023. The UFO conversation can no longer revolve around the question: Do they exist? Are they real? Today, those questions have been rendered passe and outdated because the government has finally come clean, on a matter or so it would seem.

As Luis Elizondo, former director of the secretive Pentagon unit that studied UFOs—the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program or AATIP—he announced “we’re at the point now where we’re beyond doubt that these things exist because some of the greatest technology in the world has confirmed their existence.” When the Washington Post can make a full-throated declaration in 2019 that, “UFOs exist and everyone needs to adjust to that fact,”  we know that something major is happening here.

Remember, in February/March 1990, when the Honorable Brother Minister Farrakhan sat down with the editorial board of the Washington Post for a multi-hour interview, they waited until the end of that interview, and then sarcastically raised the issue of “this business of The Wheel you’ve been talking about.”

Even after the Minister proceeded to bomb them with fact after fact, after fact, after fact, eradicating any incredulity or doubt regarding the reality of these crafts, still, The Washington Post continued to mock the Minister, mock the Wheels and mock so-called UFOs. But now they are posturing as if they’ve always known that these things exist and we need to catch up.

This is a brilliant illustration of what the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer said. He said, “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident after years of ridicule and mockery.”

The Washington Post and other major media are now acting like the reality of so-called UFOs has always been self-evident with them. And I’m sure that it has despite their public pretensions. So today, from this point forward, there should be no more discussion. No more debate over the reality of these craft, and their technology. That question has been officially answered in the language of our good brother, Student Minister Ilia Rashad Muhammad. The urgent question on the table now that needs resolution with the public is who’s flying them and what are they here for?

Mr. Elizondo has revealed that the U.S. government has invested millions of dollars, “hunting UFOs with the same methodologies and the same level of rigor that the U.S. has hunted so-called terrorists.” Indeed, one of Elizondo’s qualifications to hit the Pentagon UFO hunting unit is that he was a career U.S. Army Counterintelligence Special Agent, who spent years fighting the so-called war on terror.

According to Mr. Elizondo, these advanced aerospace vehicles, which the U.S. has been secretly hunting for decades, demonstrate particular performance capabilities that set them apart from and above anything that America can produce.

One of these characteristics is that these craft are trans-medium, or “all domain.”  This means that they can travel in outer space, in the air of Earth’s atmosphere, and in the water of the deep blue seas and oceans without any compromise in their performance. That’s Supreme Technology!

What we intend to show this morning, Allah-willing, is that this new national conversation about UFOs must be understood in the context of “The Announcement” made by the Honorable Brother Minister Farrakhan at Saviours’ Day 2023, “The War of Armageddon Has Begun.” If the inaugural event of this government Disclosure Project occurred in December 2017, the climactic event occurred in March 2023. Less than two weeks after the Honorable Brother Minister Farrakhan made his revelatory announcement,

Sean Kirkpatrick, the director of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which is the Pentagon’s latest iteration of its UFO hunting unit—he co-wrote and released to the public an explosive draft report. His co-author was Professor Abraham Loeb, the Frank B. Baird, Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard University, Harvard’s top astronomer and formerly the longest-serving Chair of Harvard’s Department of Astronomy.

The draft report was tantamount to a stunning announcement that the so-called UFOs or UAPs that have been flying around America’s skies and freely encroaching upon America’s most sensitive military space; that these are possibly extraterrestrial trans-medium technological probes sent out from a giant mothership—their word—a giant mothership that travels throughout the solar system.

It is not a coincidence that this particular announcement by the Pentagon came less than two weeks after the Honorable Brother Minister Farrakhan made his announcement that the “War of Armageddon Has Begun!”

Now when this story broke in the news, I’m sure you noticed us in the Nation of Islam engaged in a very energetic victory lap. We certainly were, we certainly are. This is because “Mothership” along with “Mother Plane” and “The Wheel” is the language of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. And now after decades of mockery, ridicule and dismissal, this Pentagon draft report is total vindication of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Honorable Brother Minister Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad stood alone in America teaching the reality of these craft decades before Kenneth Arnold made his famous flight over Mount Rainier in 1947. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad was taught the truth of these craft by the architect of this giant craft, His teacher, Master Fard Muhammad. The Wheel is a masterpiece of mechanics, is one of the greatest wonders of man in making military weapons.

It is a circular craft a half-mile by a half-mile in size. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us it is the fulfillment of what the prophet Ezekiel saw. He saw a city in the sky. He saw wheels within wheels. The Wheel, or the Mother Plane, was made to destroy this world of evil and to show the wisdom and power of the mightiest God that ever lived, Master Fard Muhammad, Who came to set up a new world.

The Wheel was secretly built on the island of Nippon or Japan between the years 1909 and 1929, the year it took flight. The Wheel serves among other things as an aircraft carrier of 1,500 smaller wheels, what He called Baby Planes. These are the craft that have been dubbed “flying saucers” in popular parlance.

The Mother Plane is constructed like a little human made planet. It has the ability to create its own atmosphere, as any planet is able to do. And in being able to create its own atmosphere it is able to go anywhere in space it desires because it is not dependent on power from the Earth. The Wheel can hide behind stars in the universe and make herself invisible to the enemy’s eye. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that it is also made of revolving spheres.

If you want to understand the phenomenon that the government is publicly disclosing information about, it ain’t Steven Greer you want to go to. You want to go to the books of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, you want to go to “The Time and What Must Be Done,” by the Honorable Brother Minister Farrakhan episodes 51 through 58. Start there!

You can explore the ufologists, study scholars of the UFO phenomenon, but don’t visit them until after you learn the reality from the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who was taught by the Architect of that which these people are studying!

The post The Wheel: A Masterpiece in Mechanics appeared first on Final Call News.

Zinc (Zn) is an essential nutrient necessary in small amounts for health. As one of the most abundant biological trace metals, zinc is easy to get in developed countries in foods like beef, poultry, and beans. Zinc deficiency in humans can cause an assortment of pathological conditions such as growth retardation, cell-mediated immune dysfunction, among others. Zinc deficiency is rare in the U.S. because, due to the easy access to zinc-containing foods, most diets provide more than the recommended dietary intake. So an important 2010 study seems then to reveal to us more than the circumstances of an exceptional case of zinc deficiency in an American population, but also hints of a scientific conspiracy.

Scientists from Emory University, Grady Hospital and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) studied a group of low-income Black and Hispanic pre-school children (1-5 years of age) in urban Atlanta, Georgia who were on government insurance and were enrolled in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutrition program 2006-2007. WIC is a federal assistance program that provides (among other things) free food packages to low-income pregnant and breastfeeding women, infants, and children under age 5 in order to supplement diets and provide nutrition. It is administrated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. 

Annual Race/Ethnicity Data indicates that, in general, around 60% of WIC recipients are White and 20% are Black. WIC participation is historically associated with good zinc levels. A 2003 study of a national sample of 7474 mostly non-urban (67%) Whites (61%) found “Less than 1% of (preschool) children had usual zinc intakes below the adequate intake or estimated average requirement” and that “WIC participation was positively associated with zinc intake”. In other words, the food provided through the WIC program provided at least some of the zinc needed to achieve healthy levels. Fifteen years later a 2018 national random sample of 3,235 children found that WIC participants who received the food packages tested better for zinc intake than low-income as well as high-income non-WIC participants. This suggests that the WIC package was a source of zinc for these participants. 

Zinc deficiency is uncharacteristic in America, for both Whites and African Americans. Thus, what was discovered in Atlanta in 2006-2007 is indeed an anomaly that demands explanation. Conrad R. Cole et al.’s 2010 report is an analysis of the zinc status of 280 Black and Hispanic children of urban Atlanta. This is a study of a defined, single metropolitan area group of Black and Hispanic preschoolers dependent (to one degree or another) upon WIC food supplies. The authors found evidence of a zinc deficiency in from 19.4% to upwards of 44% of the Black children: “Mean serum zinc concentrations were significantly lower among African American preschool children than among Hispanic preschool children, and they were significantly lower among those covered by government-sponsored insurance programs than among those with private health insurance”. The risk of zinc deficiency among these Black children was 4-fold that of the Hispanic children. This zinc-deficiency was so prevalent among Black children on WIC that “African American” ethnicity as well as “government sponsored insurance status” were deemed risk factors for zinc-deficiency. This unexpectedly high prevalence of zinc deficiency among Black preschool WIC recipients in Atlanta is remarkably contrary not only to the reported good zinc status of White WIC recipients nationwide but is contrary also to the zinc status of nationwide samples of African Americans as well. Our 2006-2007 Atlanta population of Black preschoolers with a high prevalence of zinc deficiency thus stands out radically as a national outlier. 

The consequences of zinc deficiency are significant. Zinc deficiency can cause growth retardation, mental lethargy and endocrine disruption, specifically male hypogonadism (=low testosterone), testicular atrophy (shrinkage of testicles), and male and female infertility. 

Not only does zinc deficiency cause male reproductive disruption, it causes male feminization. Zinc inhibits the process called aromatization i.e., the conversion of the male hormone testosterone into the feminizing hormone estrogen by the enzyme aromatase. Zinc deficiency therefore results in excessive aromatization, which leads to an excessive amount of testosterone converting into estrogen, thus an increased estrogen/testosterone ratio. Zinc deficiency also decreases the available number of androgen receptors necessary to potentiate the testosterone and increases the number of estrogen receptors that potentiate the extra estrogen: “Such (zinc) deficiency plays a pathogenic role in feminization and reproductive dysfunction,” reports Om and Chung. So a condition—zinc deficiency—that causes male feminization as well as reproductive dysfunction leading to infertility in males and females is a rare occurrence in America among African Americans and Whites, yet it “unexpectedly” occurs in a population of Black preschoolers in the CDC’s Atlanta, as “discovered” by a CDC funded study?! What is the cause of this “unexpected” find? Our authors don’t give us an answer, but they do offer us a hint: 

Food intake was not a problem in either group (Black or Hispanic), as documented in the food diaries, especially those of the African American children who consumed very high mean daily energy. However, the bioavailability of zinc in the foods consumed and the interactions between zinc and other components of the diet might be responsible for the zinc status among these children. 

In other words, it is not the case that the Black children are not consuming the right foods in order to have a better zinc status. Rather, it is possible that the zinc in these foods is not rendered bioavailable when consumed by these Black children. Or: the food does not contain the zinc that it is expected to contain. Both can be accomplished scientifically. 

Zinc deficiencies have been experimentally induced by diet in animals by scientists since 1967 and by 1983 it was “considered desirable to develop a human model which would allow a study of the effects of a mild zinc deficient state in man.” In other words, after mastering the induction of a zinc deficiency in animals through manipulation of food sources, scientists were ready to try their skills with human guinea pigs. The first human models were groups of volunteers enrolled in scientific experiments. But in vitro (in the lab) results need in vivo (in real life) confirmation. Did the in vivo phase of the project to develop and study a human model of zinc deficiency involve those 146 Black children of metro Atlanta who participated in the 2006-2007 zinc study supported by the CDC and the National Institutes of Health? Were they unwitting human guinea pigs? There are a variety of techniques capable of experimentally inducing a zinc deficiency in a human model through dietary means. Foods can be scientifically modified to deplete zinc in a human consumer and to cause a zinc deficiency without the consumer having a clue. This can be achieved via two primary methods of food manipulation: 1. Stripping a food item of its natural zinc content or 2. Introducing into the food a chemical inhibitor that reduces the zinc’s bioavailability once the food is consumed. In the case of Black WIC recipients in Atlanta, both of these methods could be performed by the food manufacturer before the food is packaged and shipped to the zip codes where the destination stores are located. 

In terms of the first method, food can be stripped or “purified” of its zinc by being “washed” with the disodium salt of the chemical ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Because EDTA binds to zinc, its disodium salt (Na2EDTA) acts as a chelator or extractant that “pulls out” all or most of the zinc in the food, which is then washed off of the food with deionized water. Once dried, the food can be packaged and shipped, and the store personnel and the consumer of the food is none the wiser. EDTA-washed foods have been extensively used by scientists to induce zinc-deficiency. Thus, theoretically if the “purified-then-packaged” food is sent to stores in selected areas (zip codes) and purchased with a WIC voucher, only those WIC costumers in that area would show any signs of a zinc deficiency. This hypothetical is very consistent with what we actually find in our Atlanta cohort of 2006-2007. 

The second method of modifying food to covertly induce a zinc deficiency is by inserting an additive into the food that, once consumed, inhibits the bioavailability of the zinc. Incidentally, it is public knowledge that WIC products – on a state-by-state basis – contain such chemical inhibitors which fall under the title “Functional Ingredients.” A “Functional Food” is a food that is modified by a functional ingredient, which is a substance added to a food through the manufacturing process and that is purported to improve bodily function or is intended to produce a desired physiological effect. WIC offers such “Functional Foods” that have been modified by chemical additives, such as baby formula, infant cereal, eggs, juice, and bread. One of the recognized “functional ingredients” used to modify food is soy protein isolate. Soy products have been a staple of the WIC package since 2009. But as a recognized functional ingredient, soy protein isolate can be added to any WIC-offered food by the manufacturer. Even though WIC is a fully federally-funded program, the decision to offer modified or “enhanced” foods is not a national decision but is made on a state-by-state basis, and not by the state WIC office but by the manufacturers! Because soy protein isolate is a highly refined product processed to remove “off flavors,” be any tastes and flatulence producers and increase digestibility, it is much easier to conceal its presence in a food item. 

Zinc deficiency can cause infertility in males and females and feminization of males. This is a rare condition in America, yet it made an “unexpected” appearance among Black children in Atlanta dependent upon government-issued food sources. Using secretly manipulated food to covertly induce a condition of infertility and male feminization would not have been a new idea in 2006-2007, as we saw. The spatial isolation of Black communities through segregation makes it easy to target this specific group.

The post WIC and the Mystery of the Missing Zinc appeared first on Final Call News.

We know we are in a bona fide “Food Crisis” when it could be said that in Black neighborhoods “it is easier to get fried chicken than a fresh apple.” Fast food has become “entrenched” in urban neighborhoods and diets. “NHANES [National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey] data indicate that non-Hispanic blacks are more likely than other racial/ethnic groups to eat fast food.”

As Dr. Chin Jou documents in her Super Sizing Urban America, How Inner Cities Got Fast Food With Government Help, “many urban, low-income African-American neighborhoods are both saturated with fast food and disproportionately affected by the obesity epidemic.

According to Dr. Andrea Freedman, fast food is “oppression through poor nutrition”: Fast food has become a major source of nutrition in low-income, urban neighborhoods across the United States. Although some social and cultural factors account for fast food’s overwhelming popularity, targeted marketing, infiltration into schools, government subsidies, and federal food policy each play a significant role in denying inner-city people of color access to healthy food.

The overabundance of fast food and lack of access to healthier foods, in turn, have increased African American and Latino communities’ vulnerability to food-related death and disease.’ Structural perpetuation of this race- and class-based health crisis constitutes “food oppression.”

This “structural perpetuation” is obvious:

West Oakland, California, a neighborhood of 30,000 people populated primarily by African Americans and Latinos, has one supermarket and thirty- six liquor and convenience stores. The supermarket is not accessible on foot to most of the area’s residents. The convenience stores charge twice as much as grocery stores for identical items.

Fast food restaurants selling cheap and hot food appear on almost every corner. West Oakland is not unique. The prevalence of fast food in low income urban neighborhoods across the United States, combined with the lack of access to fresh, healthy food, contributes to an overwhelmingly disproportionate incidence of food-related death and disease among African Americans and Latinos as compared to whites.

A 2006 audit by Elizabeth A. Baker et al. of food quality options in the St. Louis area found that the highest quality supermarkets that provide the best options for meeting dietary guidelines (fresh fruits and vegetables, lean, low-fat and fat-free meats and dairy options) clustered in white higher income communities and none in Black census tracts.

While the poorest quality fast food restaurants and poor quality super markets – to the extent that super markets exists at all – that offer low quality food (high fat), disallowing consumers to meet recommended dietary intake clustered in predominantly Black census tracks. In a 2004 study researchers mapped fast food restaurants in New Orleans and discovered that shopping districts in communities that were 80% Black were exposed on average to six fast food outlets more than majority white areas of the same size.

Fast-food restaurants are geographically associated with predominately black and low-income neighborhoods after controlling for commercial activity, presence of highways, and median home values. The percentage of black residents is a more powerful predictor of [fast food restaurant density] than median household income. Predominantly black neighborhoods (i.e., 80% black) have one additional fast-food restaurant per square mile compared with predominantly white neighborhoods (i.e., 80% white).

These findings suggest that black and low-income populations have more convenient access to fast food. More convenient access likely leads to the increased consumption of fast food in these populations, and may help to explain the increased prevalence of obesity among black and low-income populations.

The Origin of Black America’s Fast-Food Dependency

While it true that Black and Hispanic communities disproportionately patronize fast food restaurants, this is a new phenomenon. But despite its current popularity, there was a time not too long ago when fast food was entirely absent from the diets of inner-city African-Americans. McDonald’s and most of the major fast food chains only opened in urban areas starting in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Brady Keys, a former pro-football player and African-American fast food franchising pioneer, recalls that before the emergence of fast food, African Americans consumed more meals at home; there was simply “no opportunity to eat anywhere else [relatively cheaply].”

And believe it or not, Black People had a better diet than Whites in many cases. In a 1939 U.S. Department of Agriculture dietary survey it was revealed that during the summer months African Americans’ diets contained more vitamins, minerals, and proteins than whites’ diets in cases where households spent the same money on food.

In 1965, African Americans were still consuming dietitians recommended quantities of fat, fiber, fruits, and vegetables at twice the rate of whites. However, by 1996 a near-reversal had occurred. “Dietary surveys indicated that 28 percent of African Americans, and only 16 percent of whites, now consumed unhealthy diets.” 

This diet revolution was caused largely by the new availability of fast food. During the heyday of fast food in the United States-roughly the 1970s to 1990s-Americans’ appetite for Big Macs and Whoppers seemed to cut across socioeconomic divides more than they do now…Today’s typical fast-food habitué is more likely to be relatively young, low-income, and African American (emphasis added).

It was the relentless targeting of the Black poor, with the aid of the U.S. Government, that transformed the urban food landscape: “federal programs were…part of a remaking of inner cities as fast food havens” Fast food companies’ aggressive pursuit of African Americans since the early 1970s has been reflected in the inordinate share of their promotional budgets dedicated to reeling in minority consumers.

One report in 1990 found that the three major fast-food chains-McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s ear marked up to one-fifth of their advertising budgets on African American consumers even though African Americans made up only about 12 percent of the total U.S. population at the time. The fast-food industry is particularly “unrelenting in its appeal to young urban African Americans.”

According to one 2012 report Black children (ages two through eleven) and teenagers viewed almost 60% more television advertisements for fast food than white children and teens. The Washington Post took notice of this “food oppression” in 2014 reporting “The disturbing ways that fast food chains disproportionately target black kids,” noting the research that “fast food chains (such as Popeye’s and Papa John’s) in predominantly black neighborhoods were more than 60 percent more likely to advertise to children than in predominantly white neighborhoods.”

The concentration of African Americans into segregated neighborhoods made us “compact sales targets,” in marketing jargon, and made the direct, geographic targeting of us easy and efficient: waging war by zip codes. As Naa Oyo A. Kwate points out: A primary reason why Black neighborhoods have a high prevalence of fast-food restaurants is because African Americans are actively sought by fast food companies, and segregation creates a ready, spatially concentrated target area.

From a purely rational business perspective, the high prevalence of fast-food restaurants in Black neighborhoods is itself suggestive of purposeful targeting. When opening a business, owners must consider location characteristics, including neighboring shops and local business climate, the crime rate, quality of public services, condition of homes, buildings, and lots, relationship to competition, and the spatial relationship to the target market (…).

In many Black neighborhoods, such a location analysis would reveal: a retail climate that generates few customers; a relatively high crime rate; public services that have faced years of cutbacks and neglect; visibly deteriorated buildings; and several competing fast-food restaurants. In other words, there would be few incentives to open a store in a neighborhood with these characteristics, unless a primary goal was to target the individuals who reside there. And it seems to be urban young Black men who are the real target audience.

Living near fast food restaurants may indeed constitute a “risky” physical environment, at least if one is low-income and male. A 2011 analysis of a longitudinal nationwide survey of 5,155 U.S. adults between the ages eighteen and thirty found that low-income men who lived within 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) of fast-food chain restaurants consumed fast food more frequently than those who did not.

These low-income men, researchers reasoned, were less likely to own cars, which made them more dependent on their immediate environs for meals and other services. This geographic constraint, coupled with limited cash for food, made it more likely that these low-income men would be ordering double cheeseburgers…off McDonald’s Dollar Menu.

The Dollar Menu was targeted toward poor Black people, a strategy to ensnare African Americans into a fast-food diet. As McDonald’s vice president for United States business research Steve Levigne quasi-confessed: “The Dollar Menu appeals to lower-income, ethnic consumers…It’s people who don’t always have $6 in their pockets.”190 This disproportionate patronizing of fast food by Black and Hispanic communities is thus not an organic or natural phenomenon but the desired end of a government and industry process.

And this process has contributed to the “obesity crisis” of Black America. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in 2015 African Americans were 1.4 times as likely as Whites to be obese. 69.6% of Black men and 82% of Black Women are either obese (body mass index > 30.0) or overweight (body mass index > 25.0). “African American Women have the highest rates of being overweight or obese compared to other groups in the U.S.,” HHS.gov reports.

—The Honorable Minister Farrakhan, July 4, 2020, “The Criterion”

From 1957 to 1960 Equatorial Africa was the site of the world’s first mass trials of an oral polio vaccine. The architect of this inaugural mass vaccination campaign was a Polish Jew and naturalized American virologist Dr. Hilary Koprowski. He was the first to administer a live polio vaccine to human “guinea pigs” in 1951: mentally disabled children from a New York State facility and newborn babies of institutionalized New Jersey women. 

Koprowski planned to debut a version of his polio vaccine in a mass trial with children of Belfast, Northern Ireland, but in 1956 Belfast authorities forbade the trials due to reports that the weakened virus within the vaccine was prone to revert to its neurovirulent form. 

Koprowski proceeded to conduct his trials in the African colony of the Belgium Congo in 1957. Called by drums, rural Africans traveled to village assembly points. There they lined up and had a liquid vaccine squirted into their mouths. Over the next three years 350,000 people would be vaccinated. Two different vaccines were used: the liquid vaccine used on the Africans and a separate vaccine in capsule form given exclusively to the Europeans in the area, a “significant variation.” 

We pretty much know the significance of the variation in the vaccines used for the Blacks and the Whites in Africa. Dr. Albert Sabin, fellow Polish Jew and developer of an (in)famous oral vaccine himself, reported in 1959 that a special test revealed that Koprowski’s vaccine used on the Africans contained an “‘unidentified’ cell-killing simian virus,” a virus which till today has never been identified but was exposed to more than a quarter of a million Africans in the Belgium Congo, Rwanda and Burundi.  

What was this “stealth virus” hidden within the liquid vaccine which Koprowski reserved for the Africans of his trials as distinct from the Europeans? What kind of epidemic was it capable of producing and did it produce in the area?

There was no real medical or epidemiological follow-up to these trials. His vaccine was not approved for human use and was therefore discontinued. Thus, it was only administered to the inhabitants of the Belgium Congo, Rwanda and Burundi—as if they were not human.

In 1956, with the Cold War looming in the background, the U.S. State Department permitted Sabin to “assist” Russia, who began field testing Sabin’s polio vaccine on ten million children in 1959. 

By the end of 1960, 75 million Russians and another 23 million East Europeans were inoculated with Sabin’s vaccine. When it was discovered that the Sabin vaccine was harboring a cancer-causing virus, elements within the U.S. medical and vaccine establishment laughed and joked, “gee, we could win the Olympics because the Russians would all be loaded down with tumors” as a result of being inoculated with the U.S./Sabin vaccine.    

At around the same time in America, the inactivated polio vaccine (where the polio virus is “killed” or inactivated with the addition of formaldehyde) developed by microbiologist Dr. Jonas Salk (an Ashkenazi Jew from New York) and the live-virus oral vaccine of Sabin was mass trialed in the U.S. in 1954 and 1958, respectively. The result? The polio vaccine unleashed “one of the worst biological disasters in American history,” and the medical establishment in America—starting with the National Institutes of Health (NIH)—knowingly let it happen. It was one of their own, Dr. Bernice E. Eddy, who blew two critically important whistles—one in 1954 and the other in 1960—both of which were ignored by her superiors. Eddy, a vaccine safety tester for the NIH, discovered in 1954 that some of the Salk vaccine contained live infectious virus rather than inactivated or killed virus. She discovered this after the vaccine paralyzed test monkeys. Eddy reported her data to NIH director William Sebrell and urged a delay in the licensing of the polio vaccine. Eddy was reprimanded as an alarmist and dismissed. In April 1955, 200,000 mostly school children in the U.S. were inoculated with that problematic Salk vaccine. Parades in honor of Jonas Salk, the man who was going to save America from the dreaded disease that put American children in iron lungs, occurred. However, within weeks, reports of mysterious polio infections started coming in. Within a month 40,000 came down with polio as a result of the vaccinations, 200 were paralyzed and 11 died. 

This all occurred while the NIH had the prior knowledge that the vaccine was dangerous and yet released it to the public anyway. Doctors and scientists on the staff of the National Institutes of Health during the 1950s were well aware that the Salk vaccine was causing polio. Some of them refused to vaccinate their own children. The Salk vaccine was pulled and then replaced by the Sabin oral vaccine.   

 But the Sabin “sugar-cube” vaccine, according to Paul A. Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, was even more dangerous than the Salk vaccine that it replaced, as the “weakened” virus can be re-activated by passage through the gut. In 1976 Salk told The Washington Post(September 24, 1976) that it was the vaccine of his bitter rival Sabin which was “the principle if not the sole cause” of every reported polio case in the U.S. since 1961. He told CBC television, “We have known now since 1961 in the United States, and prior to that in other countries, that the live virus vaccine for polio does cause the disease itself.” In 1992, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) published an admission that the live-virus (Sabin) vaccine had become the dominant cause of polio in the United States. According to the CDC, every case of polio in the U.S. since 1979 was caused by the oral polio vaccine. Polio cases in the U.S. doubled after the mass inoculations with a polio vaccine. In other words, “the vaccine designed to protect against the disease had instead given polio” to the public, and this is why the incidence of polio doubled in the U.S. after the introduction of the polio vaccine, and both the Salk (inactivated) and the Sabin (live/oral) vaccines are guilty.

But this is not the extent of the “biological disaster” that was/is the polio vaccine. Dr. Bernice Eddy, again, from her position in Biologics at the NIH, discovered in 1959 that the polio vaccine being administered throughout the world contained not only live polio virus, but also an infectious cancer-causing agent that when injected caused hamsters to develop tumors. Today we know that that agent is SV40 (simian virus No. 40), a cancer-causing monkey virus. SV40 has been found in human bone cancers, brain cancers and lung cancers, such as mesothelioma. With both the Salk injections and the Sabin sugar cubes SV40 was delivered straight into people’s bloodstream.

Again, Eddy alerted her superiors and urged the halting of vaccine production because there’s a cancer-causing virus in it! Eddy was again dismissed, demoted, and her lab was eventually taken from her. What she found in 1959 was even more terrifying—and biologically consequential—than what she discovered in 1954, and the NIH tried to keep her discovery quiet again. They never recalled the existing stocks of the contaminated vaccines and for two more years millions of additional people were unnecessarilyexposed to a cancerous virus in the already dangerous polio vaccine. 

Under the American regime of “Medical Apartheid” Black “superbodies” were and still are the choice experimental specimens for ambitious White doctors. It was no different here. Black people were targeted for inhumane experiments with this contaminated polio vaccine. Between 1960 and 1962, nearly 1,100 infants at the Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital in Ohio were experimentally exposed to increasingly large amounts of polio virus within the Sabin vaccine while the researchers noted who got infected by the virus and from what dosage. “The majority were Negroes from the lower socioeconomic group,” the researchers admit. Within three days of their birth these Black babies were vaccinated with doses ranging up to 100 times the dosage recommended for adults. On top of that, the experimental vaccines contained high titers of the cancer-causing SV40. So, while these Black babies were still immunologically immature at 3 days old, they were experimentally exposed via vaccines to high levels of polio virus as well as high levels of SV40. “This is America.”   

All in all, the vaccine was administered to some 98 million Americans from 1955 to 1963—60 percent of the U.S. population at the time, among whom 10-30 million could have received an SV40-contaminated injection or oral vaccine. As a consequence, a 1998 data analysis found a 17 percent increase in bone cancer, 20 percent increase in brain cancer, and 178 percent increase in mesothelioma among people who were exposed to SV40-tained polio vaccines.  

Lessons from the polio vaccine biological disaster:

• The example of Hilary Koprowski and the Belgium Congo trials show that when Whites make a vaccine available to Black and to White people, the same vaccine can have very different contents depending on whether the recipients are Black or are White. The “Black vaccine” could be a trojan horse for a “stealth virus.” 

• In experimental studies Black babies were deliberately exposed to and infected by the polio virus via vaccines which were also contaminated with the cancer-causing SV40.

• Thanks to a whistleblower the NIH had knowledge that the polio vaccine which they were distributing across the country contained both live, infectious polio virus as well as the cancer-causing SV40 virus, yet the NIH kept these dark facts secret and eventually, wittingly exposed around 98 million Americans to these potentially dirty vaccines, spawning an increase in polio and a spectrum of cancers among the vaccinated population. Rather than protect the wellbeing of the American people from their dirty vaccine, the NIH penalized their own scientist who pointed the dangers out to them. In other words, the NIH is complicit in pushing dirty vaccines onto the American people. And for four decades, the NIH and the National Cancer Institute have, through scientifically flawed studies and open denial, downplayed the potential risk posed by this vaccine.

The post Dirty Vaccines and Stealth Viruses: Why Black America MUST NOT Take The COVID-19 Vaccine appeared first on Final Call News.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has apparently determined that these groups will be given priority for receiving the vaccine once it is available, despite the fact that 60 percent of the Covid-19 cases and 61 percent of the deaths among veterans are White (16 percent and 22 percent are Black, respectively).

But Black people have every reason to be profoundly suspicious of Pfizer as Pfizer has a history of doing horrendous medical experiments on Black people for profit. American drug companies routinely hop across borders in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America conducting risky drug experiments with little oversight. This is a legacy of the colonial view of “The Colony as Laboratory” for the Western powers.

Foreign drug trials in the Third World are cheaper, faster, and provide huge pools of human guinea pigs for experimentation with minimal red tape or regulation. In 2006 Rep. Tom Lantos of California, the senior Democrat on the International Relations committee, cited an unconscionable Pfizer case as an example of “large pharmaceutical companies, both here and in Europe … using these poor, illiterate and uniformed people as guinea pigs.” 

At the beginning of 1996 Pfizer was sitting on a new, potentially billion-dollar blockbuster drug, according to Wall Street analysts. The antibiotic Trovan was not yet approved by the FDA. Pfizer had enrolled thousands of adults in Trovan clinical trials and they wanted to debut the drug as a therapy for bacterial meningitis, but there were a number of problems. There was already an effective treatment for meningitis available, the antibiotic ceftriaxone. But Pfizer’s biggest problem was children.

In order to gain maximum market share and achieve the predicted $1 billion per year from this drug, Pfizer needed to develop an oral form that proved safe for pediatric use. But Trovan had never been tested on children, and in animal models it caused liver toxicity and joint damage. In addition, bacterial meningitis was rare in the U.S. There were thus not enough children suffering from it for a convincing clinical trial. However, as luck would have it, a ready pool of children suffering from the disease had suddenly, coincidentally, and inexplicably become available—in Africa!

In 1996 an unprecedented epidemic of cerebrospinal meningitis (CSM) erupted oddly in the Muslim half (the north) of Nigeria, the most populous nation in Africa. This was Africa’s worst ever CSM outbreak. Hardest hit was Nigeria’s largest northern state, Kano. “For Pfizer, the timing was oddly fortuitous.” Together with the World Health Organization (WHO), Pfizer “volunteered” to help. Vaccines and effective antibiotics were already long in use and could have tamed this epidemic, but curiously these were not made adequately available. It is believed that local health officials were paid off in order to obstruct efforts to halt the epidemic.   

Pfizer officials saw in the Nigerian outbreak “a unique opportunity to test their drug without the restrictions of FDA clinical study protocols.” The Pfizer team roared into Nigeria on a chartered DC-9 and roared out five weeks later. But between April 3 and May 15, 1996, Pfizer engaged in an indefensible, illegal medical experiment in Kano using 200 gravely ill Nigerian children as young as 3 years old, who were either given the unapproved experimental drug Trovan or inappropriate doses of the alternative, ceftriaxone. Pfizer never obtained authorization from the federal government of Nigeria to conduct the experiment within its borders and was unable to produce any records documenting that the children or their parents were informed that they were part of an experiment.

“For weeks, Pfizer dispensed Trovan to Nigerian children and babies with complete disregard for all scientific research protocols.” A report on the Kano Experiment from a Nigerian federal panel concluded that the experiment violated Nigeran law as well as international law. Pfizer did no long-term follow up on the children and left Nigeria without any significant information about the final health impact of Trovan on this group. We now know that, due to this illegal and unethical experimentation, the children suffered various degrees of adverse effects and long-term disabilities ranging from deafness to muteness, paralysis, brain damage, loss of sight, and slurred speech; 11 died.

The successful operation of Pfizer’s Kano Experiment relied on the corruption of the local health care system. Nigerian healthcare professionals were paid almost double their normal salary to participate in the study. Pfizer hired Nigerian doctor Abdulhamid Isa Dutse to run the Kano Experiment. However, Dutse was chief “only in name.” Actually, the experiment was directed totally from Pfizer’s U.S. office. Publications on Trovan inaccurately listed Dutse as the lead author, when in fact he was kept in the dark about experiment results; data that appeared in papers with his name on them was actually withheld from him. Later Dutse lamented:

“I have trusted people and am disappointed. I regret the whole exercise, I wonder why on earth I did this.” However, after the Kano Experiment, Dutse ascended to the position of dean of the Kano medical school. Dutse’s role in the Kano Experiment seems analogous to the roles of Nurse Eunice Rivers, scapegoat for the U.S Public Service’s infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study, and possibly of Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, made the face of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Covid-19 Vaccine today. On October 5, 2020 Dr. Dutse walked into Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, suffered a cardiac arrest and died.    

During a 1997 FDA audit of the Nigerian Trovan trial or “Kano Experiment,” Pfizer produced as proof of authorization a fraudulent letterhead document granting clearance for the trial by a Nigerian ethics committee that did not exist at the time. Dutse revealed later that Pfizer instructed him to concoct and backdate the fraudulent ethics committee letter.

In 2007 the state of Kano sued Pfizer for U.S. $2.75 billion, while the Nigerian federal government sued for U.S. $8.5 billion in damages, alleging that the pharmaceutical giant “pretended it came (to Nigeria) to render humanitarian service” but in actuality “Pfizer devised a scheme under which it misrepresented and failed to disclose its primary motive in seeking to participate in giving care to the victims of the epidemic.” Nigeria even sought criminal charges against Pfizer officials, including the CEO at the time of the experiment, William Steer. To squash the case Pfizer continued to engage in unethical behavior.

In 2010 a U.S. diplomatic cable uncovered by WikiLeaks revealed that Pfizer hired investigators to look for evidence of corruption against the Nigerian attorney general Michael Aondoakaa in an effort to persuade him to drop the legal action. The cable reported a meeting between Pfizer’s country manager, Enrico Liggeri, and U.S. officials at the Abuja embassy on April 9, 2009, discussing using leaks to the local media to pressure the Nigerian attorney general to drop the cases against Pfizer. This effort failed. In 2011 Pfizer began making payments to the victims involved in the suit as part of a $75 million settlement. In the end, an incredible and unprecedented 12,000 Nigerians died from meningitis in the curious 1996 epidemic, despite the “help” pledged by the WHO and by Pfizer.

Now, that same Pfizer is trialing a brand new, never-before seen experimental vaccine platform—the mRNA Covid-19 vaccine—and Black people are to be “prioritized” in this grand experiment! The innovative and terrifying mRNA vaccine is the brainchild of a secretive Pentagon agency, a military technology R&D operation named the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. DARPA, as it is commonly known, “specializes in turning science fantasies into realities” but for military purposes. DARPA doesn’t actually invent things itself.

Instead, it outsources its scientific tasks to universities, military labs and defense contractors, such as Pfizer and Moderna. Pfizer has been an important military contractor for decades, receiving hundreds of millions of dollars to do research and development for the Pentagon, including biodefense contracts as far back as 2013. In that year DARPA awarded Pfizer a $7.7 million contract to innovate the type of mRNA vaccine platform that is now being rolled out in “warp speed.” DARPA awarded Moderna a similar contract of up to $25 million in 2013 as well. Thus, behind both Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine BNT162b2 and Moderna’s mRNA vaccine mRNA-1273, is DARPA. This Covid-19 vaccine is thus a piece of military technology.  And Black people are being invited to cut to the front of the line.

Yeah, we should be deeply suspicious.

This would not be the first time the government would have operationalized mass vaccinations for covert military purposes. In 2012 Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta confirmed the CIA’s unethical use of the cloak of public health and medicine to advance a military-intelligence objective by making operational use of vaccination programs. For example, the Taliban of Afghanistan and Pakistan have vigorously opposed polio vaccination campaigns in their lands, charging that the U.S runs a spy network under the guise of these vaccine programs and also sterilizes Muslim children. Neither of these charges are mere “conspiracy theory” as they have been proven true.

In 2010 the CIA initiated a clandestine mission to locate (and then kill) Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan through the use of a fake “free vaccination” program targeting Pakistani women and children in areas surrounding Bin Laden’s presumed hideout. CIA agents recruited senior Pakistani doctor Shakil Afridi to organize a sham hepatitis B vaccination operation and paid generous sums to health workers used in the plot. Nurses would travel from house to house looking for women ages 15 to 45 to cajole into taking their needle. Mothers were paid to vaccinate their children.

But none were given an actual Hep B vaccine. Rather, blood was drawn and then some concoction was injected into them. The aim of this vaccine ruse was allegedly the extraction of DNA from children of Bin Laden to confirm that he was in the area. Spies posing as polio vaccinators got close to Bin Laden’s home. The clandestine mission was apparently successful and on May 2, 2011 U.S. Navy Seals raided the three-story compound in the suburb of Abbottabad and killed Osama Bin Laden. The Taliban was proved correct to reject the free vaccinations of Western-affiliated campaigns as these campaigns were indeed cover for military/intelligence operations.

Thus, for reasons well beyond Tuskegee, Black people are rightly suspicious of the Covid-19 vaccines being rolled out in “warp  speed.”
