Infowars Nightly News: Vaccination Threats and Persecution of the Liberty Dollar

On the Monday, September 19, edition of the Nightly News, we talk with Russell Blaylock and Alfred Adask.

Dr. Blaylock is a board certified neurosurgeon, health practitioner, author, lecturer, and editor of The Blaylock Wellness Report.

He talks about the dangers of Gardasil and the upcoming flu vaccination season and the threat it poses to unsuspecting Americans who are inundated with flu vaccination propaganda on a daily basis.

Gov. and GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry is currently enveloped in controversy over his decision in February of 2007 to issue an executive order mandating that Texas girls receive the HPV vaccine.

In 2009, Blaylock told Newsmax that the 14,000 reported incidents of side effects is an underestimation. “Multiply the number of incidents actually reported by ten and you’ll get an accurate number,” he said.

Infowars also talks with constitutionalist Alfred Adask about the Liberty Dollar raid in 2007 and the conviction of its founder, Bernard von NotHaus, who was charged with “making, possessing and selling his own coins” in competition with the private banker cartel, the Federal Reserve.

“While these forms of anti-government activities do not involve violence, they are every bit as insidious and represent a clear and present danger to the economic stability of this country,” the Justice Department said about the case.

Additional news items include: Ron Paul’s momentous win of the California Straw Poll, the Fed’s impending decision to launch QE3, and the NFL policy to treat fans like possible members of al-Qaeda.

  1. Tired of swapping Churches every so many years? Tired of seeing people you’ve befrended leave the church because they aren’t satisfied? Tired of your feeling like something is a little off when you go to church, and others telling you things like “you need to rededicate your life” or “You are just over thinking things, trust God”, but never getting a true answer?
    The truth is that (drum roll please), Modern day Prodestants are Haratics. I know, I know, now I’ve offended you. I’m not Roman Catholic, JW, or Morman. Way back when the Church was started by the Apostles there was ONE church. This church became known as Christians, and the word you fear Catholic. Catholic means unified plain and simple. Now this undevided faith, lasted untill 1054 AD. when the Roman Catholic (Western Church) Schismed from the Orthodox Church (Eastern Church) because of the Bishop of Rome’s Vainglory and desire for power. He is what is called the Pope today.
    From the Roman Catholic church you had yet more schisms which led to to over 50,000 “Christian Denominations” in America today. You can find all this information online and in history books. If you aren’t happy or being full filled with you current church, why not at least check out Eastern Orthodox. What makes it different is that if you were to travel in time back to the days of the Apostles, you would see and hear the same things that you see and hear today. We don’t make stuff up or play games, and if you use your brain you’ll love this… There is really a thinking aspect to Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Imagin that, God knew we think and so he gave us soooo much info. Now I know what your thinkin’ “It ain’t in the Bible, I ain’t readin’ it”. Well, Holy Scripture is the final word on all matters of faith it is true, but when you read Corinthians, Thesalonians, ect. in the new testament, your reading letters to Orthodox Churches in Asia. The letters were prserved by the Eastern Orthodox Church. Moreover, when are the ones who decided what books and letter and in what order they would be put in the bible, befor there WAS a Bible.
    Not looking to argue. All this is Historical fact. If you want to play games with God, have fun with that on Judgment day. If your interested or want more info, message me on Youtube @ Hooty42079.
    Thanks for your time and God bless you.
    Lord Jesus Christ son of God, have mercy on us.

    • Thanks for posting that. As it stands, the two people that are in that interview have little credibility from what I have been reading for the past hour.

      This story is still grossly unverified. I am more concerned with the noises that occurred during those days.

      I just can’t wrap my mind around something as crazy as this. It is very interesting though.

      • Yeah, agreed, the only way we will know if any of it was true is if the predictions come true and such. I was just blown away by the way it all sort of tied together with what we kind of know….

        Alas, it was better than Dancing with the Stars.

        I also read an update that said that those 2 under ground city’s where populated and that as many as 60,000 people died…..

  3. Don’t put your people in danger just for your own sake.

  4. Some people posted a story that had to do with two underground NWO bases being nuked by the “good side” today.

    I kind of called b/s on them asking how could something like that be covered up? Alex, could you please investigate this and perhaps do a write up or story over it? At least check into it.

    There are videos all over Youtube that were posted on the same days of the earthquakes all over the world from Ukraine, to Florida that had weird vacuum sounds that occurred for long periods of time. Some are saying that it was all air pressure from the underground bases that stretch across the globe.

    I am starting to become more interested in this story. Is there any validity to any of this? What is everyone else thinking?

    • The Bible diet does not include vaccines. Keyword Biblediet and share with blind Christians who are still dumb enough to vaccinate. We need to educate believers in the churches with REALITY REVIVALS.
      THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE.

      • Janet, pull your bottom lip over your head and swallow. It’s because of idiotic thinking like yours that things like mumps, cholera, and bubonic plague are starting to re-surface in the United States (diseases we eradicated in the US decades ago). Let me guess, you’re blaming the government, globalists, NWO, et al on this? It might be idiotic parents buying into conspiratorial nonsense.

        By the way, the doctor that stated that vaccinations cause autism lost his license because he altered the data/research on the subject. Nobody of any credibility is saying that (bloggers don’t count as credible).

    • The only vacuum, i.e. sucking sound I’m detecting, resides in the space between your ears. And you want Alex to “research” this? How lazy of you.

      A global underground bunker system? Do you have any concept of how ridiculous you sound. We’re talking about a government that couldn’t even get Cash For Clunkers right.

  5. So good to see the postings now trending to courage, character, and constructive suggestions!

    Rioting is the LAST thing we want to do! Before we plunge mindlessly into that whirlpool leading straight to hell, consider this:

    Other countries that rioted lost! If we riot, we are acting out of fear, making the worst decisions imaginable. If we riot, we are being used against ourselves. By design!

    The blood-stained evidence fills every page in every chapter of human history.

    We are being baited to riot as the next phase in a sequence going something like this: Agent provocateurs leading a charge of vandalism and destruction of our own fellow man’s property, doing nothing against the real enemy, and saddling us with the cost of police beating our brains out. To be followed by martial law, FEMA camps, suspension of ALL civil rights, complete breakdown of utilities, goods and services, the internet, disruption of food supplies, water shortages, piling garbage, looting, raping, savaging, racist murders, and all the rest. To be followed by a nuclear world war, and many, many years of a ragged half life barely hanging on to the edge of survival.

    It is a program, now right on course, set in motion decades ago, contrived by satanists with the goal, stated in their own words, of stealing all we have then killing us.

    That good, caring, and highly intelligent man, Dr. Ron Paul, has clearly set forth the enemy’s agenda to the world, and the crisis/solution strategy that they employ.

    Therefore it is of highest urgency that we spread the word, far and wide, to use our heads. We must GET OUT OF THE SEQUENCE of our programmed destruction. No other country has yet found a way to do it. But we can!

    We must match their cleverness, and surpass it. We must be stealthy and creative! We must turn their greatest weapon, FEAR, against them. We must unite, organize, create; and as they have so deeply infiltrated us, we must do the same and more.

    Looking at things objectively, there are relatively few of them, but they are like a man spraying ants. Easy to kill millions of ants in an hour. But we are not ants. We are equally intelligent and likely more so as we gather our physical and spiritual resources to unfold our own programmed sequence for the enemy’s destruction.

    They have a head start. By many years. Let’s not kid ourselves on the effort and commitment and courage required to catch up!

    We humbly submit that our previous postings have laid out ways in which to do this. Carefully read our postings, lengthy though they may be. Copy them. Bring them to discussion groups. Our ideas ask for traumatic changes within ourselves. Yet, we have come only to bring love, not fear. We represent no group, no dogma, and we give without asking in return. We bring you only the fascinating secrets of reality, which once explored, will lift us above our miasma of confusion and suffering. If reality’s secrets appear strange and controversial, it’s because they have been concealed from us. As many are now saying, everything you have ever heard is a lie! But reality is something anyone can see and verify personally. No need of “truth”, scripture, or authority opinion.

    • Rioting is stupid, blowing off the steam as the enemy wants us to. Save the energy for revolution.

      • Only leftists talk of revolution. I’d prefer a restoration.

  6. Pretty good job tonight there, Aaron.
    Working out the kinks nicely.
    Still just a little bit of a deadpan delivery.
    But it’s getting better.

  7. In my country, ‘daring’ people who are looked up to are people who surf big waves or fight in cages or throw animal skins to african long-legs.

    In my country the ‘counterculture’ is a out-of-a-mold style decision, with all members wearing skinny pants, something flannel and ironic, long beiber flat hair, something visibly pierced, ironically non-matching and silly sneakers, and a gape-jawed and incoherent look and attitude.

    The other ‘soldiers’ in america are the leftover middleclass, the small buisiness owner with only his and his employees car in his lot, standing at his buisiness doorway, looking at the road, waiting for customers with a ‘wtf?’ Look on his face, while everybody flocks to the drive thru and walmart.

    • Very well said steeeeeeeeve, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Don’t for get heroes are slutty hollywood or shallow empty hollywood playboy men with make up and nice clothing. ANDREW JACKSON is my hero and I wasnt brainwashed by public education I used it as a forum to expose the REAL powers that be and taught my friends to admire Thomas jefferson and Andrew Jackson, NOT Lady/Man GAGA or The backstreet boys. I know they have been legislating our republic away but if you dont recognize the feds as legitimate you ARE fighting criminals and we need to start realizing that.

  8. I have HAD IT…………..with……..MICHAEL SAVAGE!!

    I simply CANNOT believe what he said about Michele Bachmann’s comments to RICK PERRY during the debate about the Gardasil vaccinations!! He emphatically just now said he “would never have her on his show!!!”, and he attempted to discredit her and minimize the vaccinations saying that Perry was doing the right thing!!

    Then, he mentioned her comment about AUTISM discredited her on that!!

    I am SO MAD, I’m spitting nails! Why? Because I’m a grandmother of a 3 year old boy who has been afflicted with a VACCINE INJURY——-what a pos GARBAGE Michael Savage is. He didn’t even do his own due dillagence. He didn’t even YOUTUBE girl’s horrific stories lives altered forever as a result of this vaccine.

    SAVAGE…………..IS A………….STUPID JERK!

    To put such a flagrant amount of pure garbage out to his audience is EGREGIOUS. He knows NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING about the DANGER of VACCINES; that autism statistics are HIGH since 1990; have grown from 1:10,000 TO 1: 100.

    I believe SAVAGE IS SO MUCH A WAR-MONGER that he can’t even see straight. He is a FLAMING WARMONGER, and I am so disgusted and disappointed in him.

    I will NEVER listen to him again!

    • autism IS directly connected to vaccines. when I was a kid, not long ago. autism afflicted only one in 27000. NOW!!! it’s 1 in 160. One country, the highest vaccinated in the world has autism rate of 1 in 34. You people who believe in vaccines are the reason they do things like 911, chemtrails, fluoride, and ALL the other things you don’t even know about….if you were told you’d just giggle like a moron and call them conspiracy theorists. so go chug a gallon of tap water and wipe the slobber off your chin.

      • Savage is an entertainer .. not the best place for advise on any important issue ..
        You could probably say he’s become irrelevant .

    • He is a deep cover NWO operative posing as a something else.

  9. AMERICAN IS A ????? CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.avi

    I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! WE ARE NOT democracy WE ARE REPUBLIC

    • Um…The pledge was create by a socialist and we used place our hands outstretched like the Nazis and Romans. The guys name was Francis Bellamy and he loved the Reich. The forefathers didn’t have a pledge nor would they have wanted one. Patriotism has always been used to control the masses. The Constitutional Republic has been dead since 1871 and it ain’t coming back. We can look forward to the darkest hour mankind has ever experienced in the coming years. Man cannot think his way out of this one, it’s going to take a divine Savior to stop this evil.

      • I agree with you about the government and the song. Be real a DIVINE SAVIOR wil not save you that sounds like ancient superhero books. We need to evolve and realize that our complicity allows evil to thrive. It’s all The Matrix from politics, religion, and economics WAKE UP. The only truth is WE the People possess the keys to our Freedom. Thinking is what we do it’s how we evolved into the dominant species of last 2 million years.

      • Actually y’all, look it up, the pledge of allegiance is actually an ad jingle written by a flag making company, I shit you not.

    • I’m not so sure “under God” is accurate in it’s colloquial implications, though I certainly assert His sovereignty over all sovereigns and consider it a given, but “Liberty and Justice for all” is an obvious absurdity, therefore I refuse to say the pledge, because I prefer to tell the Truth and do not worship a flag with pentagrams all over it.

    • You are under a NAZI PATRIOT ACT DICTATORSHIP PERIOD, we NO LONGER HAVE A CONSTITUTION OR A BILL OF RIGHTS. ONE DAY WHEN YOU EAT A CAN OF ALPHABET SOUP FROM WHERE YOU GOT YOUR PLEDGE, you will see how wrong you are. The Flag and the Pledge has been hijacked and you are now a Brown Shirt or else!

      • donjackson1939 = cointelpro op’

    • Don’t get so hung up on that argument……Republic or a Democracy…

      See if you can tell me what form of government we have here in America today?

      Answer: Corporatism

      See if you know how far/close Socialism is to Fascism? Which would be worse in your opinion?

      And….. how did we get here?

      And….do you still thing we are a Republic, much less a Democracy?

      The final shot to the old Republic was George W, {Woodrow Wilson} Bush’s, USA Patriot Act.
      When you trample over the laws of the land in a Republic, and say those laws do not matter anymore, but you make no effort to remove those laws, you just run over them like they do not matter anymore…….

      THEN YOU NO LONGER LIVE IN A REPUBLIC!!

      AND SINCE YOU NEVER EVEN GOT TO VOTE ON ANY OF THIS…..YOU HAD ZERO SAY IN THIS MATTER, YOU NO LONGER LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY EITHER!

      So bang your Bible, kiss your flag, and live in your fantasy.

      • Neither a democracy nor a republic but a private fiefdom of the few aided and abetted by traitors ( mostly at the top).

      • The correct terminology would have been, a “Republic with democratic principles.”

        Or as in today’s environment, a “Fascist state with semi-democratic principles.”

  10. “’While these forms of anti-government activities do not involve violence, they are every bit as insidious and represent a clear and present danger to the economic stability of this country,’ the Justice Department said about the case.”

    So what is the practical application of that statement to the Federal Reserve????

    • Economic stability? That implies that they would have it, if outside forces would stop fucking with them.

      Utter nonsense.

      If they were worried about economic stability, they would first admit fault, second, review all their past FAILED economic policies, third, get serious about fixing…rather than maintaining the FAILED status Quo

    political news@ aliens agenda
    by MichaelChastain
    in Politics Conservative
    on Sat, Sep 17, 2011

    talking about latest political news and scandals talk about the coming alien deception

    • Gee, I don’t want to miss that!!!

      Really? Com’on man, either you watched to much “V The Final Battle” mixed with a little bit of Alien UFO Conspiracy Vids on youtube, and truely believe that crap

      or – this is my opinion, but not unwarrented –

      You are trying to make people who visit this site look bad, as a bucnh of alien reptoid tin foil hat wearing people. Either an operative of either party or the federal gov in general or one of its subsidiaries in the private sector such as an operative of murdoch or soros.

      Maybe the illegal alien deception in the WHite House…….

      • Just to start off on opening your self locked brain, look up the ufo’s over the white house in the 1950′s and scoff at that, and also look up the battle of LA, the real incident on the west coast during ww2.

        You are the fool here, hollywood has marginalized and discredited the ufo phenomena, and you fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Congrats and voila! You have been duped, ya dupe.

        • History channels, “I know what I saw” is the single most powerful video proving UFO’s are real. I was on the fence unit I realized it was the people that many think cover it up that have been silenced. Its the top brass and aeronautical lifers that are fighting to get the crap released.

  12. iF ITS REAL SILVER, IT HAS REAL VALUE REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYBODY SAYES.

  13. Bitch, nag, yell, curse, and raise hell won’t do a DAMN BIT OF GOOD.

    You need to have a good wall of lead ready for when the SHTF.

    I can huff and puff all that I want but it will not do 1 bit of good with these tyrants in power.

    So quit your huffing and puffing and do something about it.

    GET YOUR ASS AMRED AND READY! BE READY!

    BBW

    • And also keep in mind that’s exactly what they want you to do. Branch Davidian, Ruby Ridge, etc..

      • If you really knew who is behind the constant violence rhetoric you’d quit paying taxes all together.

        This is the real story that the media is not and cannot report on. Here’s what Obama, Osama, Biden, Bin Laden, the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists, and Sarah Palin had to do with the last election and the military’s overthrow of our government. Search PalinsDirtyLittleSecret.blogspot and learn the truth before it’s deleted.

  14. Nice going, Rick! May Gardasil cost you the election! Hope it was worth it!

  15. THAT…was one occasion when infowarz wouldn’t let the voice of reason pierce through the fog of battle. EYE attempted to introduce as part of the discourse here on one occasion when Nothaus’ bullion was the subject matter and was moderated out of here. You still don’t get it. Nothaus’ Liberty Dollars ARE subject to counterfeiting laws. Just because 10,000 sheep bleat the same line doesn’t make it any more meaningful. Just because it becomes fashionable to suck up to somebody doesn’t mean their actions are lawful. As for Perry…I know his numbers are stacked by the media.

    • And what makes the rest of the makers of jewelry and their products any different from NotHaus’s silver tokens and not subject to counterfeiting laws? Is barter illegal?

      • Dollar denominations aren’t usually engraved on jewelry. THAT’S what.

        • A Liberty Dollar is not a US Dollar, it’s a Liberty Dollar, and is therefore not a counterfeit US Dollar any more than a Canadian Dollar is a counterfeit US Dollar, therefore you are a big fat stupid-head and should STFU.

          However, every bank which has created a line of credit IS guilty of counterfeiting, creating US Dollars out of thin air.

          facebook.com/pages/CREDIT-CARTELS-COUNTERFEIT-CURRENCY/131898956896484?sk=info

        • Wikipedia:
          “Fake denominations of United States currency have been created by individuals as practical joke and do not assert that they are legal tender. The bills often have images of their enemies or other people. The bills usually have “THIS IS NOT LEGAL TENDER FOR ANY DEBTS, THE PUBLIC, OR PRIVATE”. The Federal Reserve declares them legal to print as long as they are not presented as genuine currency.”

          Notice Federal Reserve , a private entity, declares ( asserting legislative duties)
          what is legal.Are governmental prosecutors of NotHaus executing “laws” of unelected body? If so this is not a democracy.

        • Of course America is not a democracy, it’s a Constitutional Republic. America never was democracy, two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner, that’s democracy.

  16. If that needle is filled with what is supposed to be in that needle, it’s dangerous and I don’t want it, but I have no way of verifying what is in that needle. Even if the needle were empty, that needle is still a deadly weapon. If you attack me with that deadly weapon, I may lawfully kill you in self defense, but if you want to die you should stop being a God damned coward and kill yourself instead, becuse you’re nothing but a burden and nobody really loves you anyway.

    Have a nice day.

    • I totally agree with you, that indiscriminant-mandatory, mass vaccination is very unwise and potentially dangerous.

      I also believe if we had all the undisclosed information of what these vaccines actually contain, along with the many subtle-nefarrous side effects, ranging from a compromised immune system, to sterility, to alteration of how our brains and bodies function as a result, there would be a citizens call to arms.

      When I say a citizens call to arms, I mean every household firearm would be shooting at these vaccine maniacs once the truth were revealed. I think the Fed knows this and that’s why they are trying to pass legislation to eliminate as many citizen owned fire arms as possible, because the know the cat(s) are escaping and that the public is finding out in the fast lane. It’s going to take more than the puiblic finding out, it will require the MASSES finding out that we’re clearly dealing with a mass eugenics program disguised as a public health service.

      So far they have duped the masses by passing laws to keep the contents “classified” under the Pandemic Flu Bill Legislation, along with RECORDS OF ALL SIDE EFFECTS associated with the new class of LIVE DNA derrived vaccines. Which if you read the legislation closely, it technically covers any and all recombinants with retroactively empowered legislation, which would then keep the discovery of older vaccines such as Hep vaccines contaimated with HIV in a classified status, making it illegal for doctors to posses and pass information about the true origins of HIV AIDS and any others that might be provable with more moder gene mapping technology. When you actually read some of the Pandemic Flu Bill legislation, it becomes HIGHLY APPARENT that the legislation was coverty and strategially written to keep the lid on this massive pot that’s about to blow. They made it a matter of National Security so they could keep “similar/same tobacco industry practice as it now pertains to vaccines,” classifed and under wraps. This IMO is insideously EVIL MINDED and it also proves IMO, that they FULLY KNOW just like the tobacco industry knew and so they learned a valuable lesson from the tobacco industry and wrote the new legislation accordingly.

      If by chance anyone had the, “PROOF POSITIVE”, that the vaccines are a covert eugenics weapon being used on the masses, they would be in violation of National Security and any attempts to take it into a court of law would violate the terms of, “classified information,” making any qualified whistle blower with the real facts, a criminal in violation of US law and National Security.

      How do you like them apples!!!??? and it can’t get any more obvious that they full well know what they are doing to out run and obfuscate their crime against humanity, HERE IN AMERICA, not to mention off shore in 3rd world countries.

      I keep trying to tell everyone, if you follow all the rabbit trails and holes, it’s all a covert aspect of the human genome project, eugenics and the power grab of National Health Care with digital records for the government, is a highly stealth, “DAMMAGE CONTROL REPORTING NETWORK,” for monitoring the operation. The entire program is, “covertly classified,” along with all of it’s susidiary tentacles, where practically no one has connected all the dots.

      When you connect all of the dots, IT LEAPS RIGHT AT YOU and there is no mistaking how this is being waged against humanity.

      • I, just like Jessie Ventura, love America – not our mind-screwed up government.

        America is my home, your home, our home and my ONLY home.

        The unconscionable bastards that are covertly running this country into the ground, do not deserve a place on this earth, other than inside the stack of an active volcano.

        • I am quite put off by how much those genocidal depopulationists are making me pray for them to have horrible deaths, I would much rather pray for their repentance, salvation, and sanctification, but they don’t seem to be giving themselves any outs.

  17. Fellow Patriots, here’s what you can do to show your loyalty to the Constitution, and to the Great Cause of Liberty,

    1. FLY THE AMERICAN FLAG and UNDERNEATH THE AMERICAN FLAG, FLY THE GADSEN FLAG (DONT TREAD ON ME)

    The Gadsden flag accomplishes several goals in OUR CURRENT REVOLUTION: it restores to the mind and heart Our American Heritage, it emboldens Freedom Fighters, it unites the Libertarian-leaning Tea Party, and allows for a conversation starter with friends and family about Ron Paul.

    Admittedly, this is a simple request, but if, with persistence, we remain united and vigilant in our Cause, unafraid to speak The Truth in the midst of lies, and show our allegiance to our country (not our govt.), we shall prevail and be Victorious in the Cause of Liberty.

    2. READ “LIBERTY DEFINED” by Ron Paul – it is the Modern Patriots Common Sense and should be read, understood, promoted, and applied by all in the Tea Party Movement

    DEFEND LIBERTY, FLY THE GADSDEN!

    “I Love my Country, not my govt.” – PATRIOT JESSE VENTURA

    • Good post.

    • Did you realize the Gadsden flag is a pyramid with a reptilian eye at the top?

      • No…. it’s a Don’t tread on me flag…. just a snake.
