We live in a corrupted system. The way to tackle corruption is to first acknowledge it exists. Only then is it possible to come up with ways of dealing with it, but don't make the mistake of believing the system can or will uncorrupt itself.

CDC Foundation – Corporate Bribe Department

19 August 2021

The US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, AKA the CDC is part of the United States Government and their Department of Health and Human Services. Their “Bold Promise to the Nation” according to their website is a unique mission:

We work 24/7 to protect the safety, health, and security of America from threats here and around the world.

We all know that lobbying is a thing. Wikipedia describes lobbying as synonymous with “persuasion” and “interest representation” and defined as “the act of lawfully attempting to influence the actions, policies, or decisions of government officials, most often legislators or members of regulatory agencies”. Regardless of it’s legal status we understand that lobbying is essentially legalised bribing of Government officials to secure favourable legislation or steer some regulations in the direction the lobbyist and the organisation he/she represents would like.

Governments also lobby other country’s Governments. According to Wikipedia members of the US Congress and other Government officials are targeted by lobbies by the Governments of a number of foreign countries that rather unsurprisingly include Israel, China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. It is mentioned also there was a 2011 study of the 50 companies that spent the most on lobbying relative to their assets compared to their financial performance and concluded that:

Spending on lobbying was a “spectacular investment” yielding “blistering” returns comparable to a high-flying hedge fund, even despite the financial downturn.

Regardless of the efforts to “regulate” lobbying, it isn’t a surprise to find that given one of the main purposes of lobbying is to influence regulations, the regulation of lobbying is somewhat ineffective at preventing massive corporations buying laws in their favour.

But we know about lobbying, even if we’re not quite fully aware of just how prevalent it is, and how many laws get changed, introduced or scrapped to allow corporate interests to get their way, over the interests of the public who the Government claims to serve.

There are more indirect ways that corporate influence has huge impacts on things that affect the public. So the CDC that was mentioned earlier, that is clearly a US Government department and you would think that affecting that with bribes might only be achieved by lobbying Federal representatives, but it turns out this is not the case. There exists such a thing as the CDC Foundation. According to the CDC Foundation website, on the “Our Story” page they explain:

The CDC Foundation is an independent nonprofit and the sole entity created by Congress to mobilize philanthropic and private-sector resources to support the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s critical health protection work.

We are a catalyst for unleashing the power of collaboration between CDC and philanthropies, private entities and individuals to protect the health, safety and security of America and the world.

Ah yes, the old “nonprofit” yarn. The important part here is that it was “created by Congress”. This “independent nonprofit” is the creation by the US Government of a route into the CDC for “philanthropies, private entities and individuals”. Those two things, “independent” and the “philanthropic and private-sector resources” are mutually exclusive as the notion any organisation could remain independent while taking money from vultures who use the trojan horse of philanthropy and private companies who’s singular goal is to make money and provide dividends to shareholders, over and above value quality of service to customers is laughable.

Who are the corporate “partners” of the CDC Foundation? Well they do proudly show them on a page containing “list of CDC Foundation corporate donors and partners over time”. It is a long list, but a few highlights are:

  • Abbott Laboratories
  • AbbVie Inc.
  • AstraZeneca PLC
  • Aventis Pharmaceuticals
  • The Bank of Commerce
  • Bayer Corporation
  • Booz Allen Hamilton Inc.
  • Bristol-Myers Squibb Company
  • CNN/Time Warner
  • The Coca-Cola Company
  • Deloitte Consulting LLP
  • ExxonMobil
  • Facebook
  • Ford Motor Company
  • General Electric Company
  • General Motors Corporation
  • Gilead Sciences Inc.
  • GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals S.A.
  • Google Inc.
  • IBM Corporation
  • Johnson & Johnson
  • McDonald’s Corporation
  • Merck
  • Microsoft Corporation
  • Northrop Grumman Corporation
  • Novartis AG
  • Novavax Inc.
  • Novo Nordisk Inc.

  • Procter & Gamble
  • Roche
  • Sanofi Pasteur Inc.
  • Schering Plough Corporation
  • Starbucks Corporation
  • Theranos
  • Thomson Reuters
  • Verizon Communications
  • Walmart Stores Inc.

…and hundreds of other pharmaceutical companies, biotech, communications, law and finance corporations.

What is the likelihood that the CDC doesn’t represent the interests of these companies?

Theranos is on that list. Theranos for those that don’t know are no longer a company. The reason it is no longer a company is because it’s founder is a fraud. For a while Elizabeth Holmes, was the “youngest and wealthiest self-made female billionaire in America” on the valuation of her company at $9,000,000,000 in 2015. By 2016 her estimated net worth was $0 because her company and the “revolutionary blood testing technology” she claimed they had was a gigantic scam. Holmes put on a fake voice to go with the fake everything else, but was always destined for gigantic financial fraud as her father was Christian Rasmus Holmes IV who was a vice-president at Enron, an energy company that went bankrupt after a huge accounting fraud scandal. Holmes recruited the highly public faces and influence of people like Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, James Mattis and Betsy DeVos. These well connected Government people were apparently fooled by Elizabeth Holmes cosplaying as Steve Jobs, her fake deep voice and blue eyes.

It’s not a stretch to think that Holmes’ scam went on for as long as it did (over a decade) due to the complicity of influential public figures and the CDC who she gave money to via their Foundation. The idea that someone could make a claim about revolutionary blood testing tech, get Government mouthpieces on board, raise $700,000,000 in investment and no-one does any due diligence, particularly at the CDC is absurd. The only reason the house of cards collapsed is because an investigative journalist named John Carreyrou, along with medical research professors John Ioannidis and Eleftherios Diamandis questioned the validity of the technology Theranos and Holmes claimed to have.

Fast forward from Theranos’ fall from grace in 2016 and John Ioannidis is a very important voice again. This is a man with impeccable credentials and is one of the most highly cited professors in the world. Even Wikipedia cannot do much to discredit John Ioannidis but you know they’d like to. Why? Because he as one of the top epidemiologists in the world he has described the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a “once-in-a-century evidence fiasco” in an article published on 17th March 2020 on STAT a biopharma, health policy and life science analysis website.

John Ioannidis also wrote a paper titled “Why Most Published Research Findings Are False” back in 2005 where he demonstrated that a large number, if not the majority, of published medical research papers contain results that cannot be replicated. He identifies that scientists use hypothesis testing to determine whether scientific discoveries are significant. When using the word “significant” in the context of scientific papers and research, it is formalised in terms of probability and a formalised calculation that Ioannidis refers to as “P value” that is used as a screening mechanism. Ioannidis constructed a statistical model which indicates that most published findings are false positive results due to the unscientific nature of non-replicable “discoveries” and the use of probabilities as proofs.

He has been critical of lockdown measures, and has spoken out about the statistical shenanigans that have been at play for almost 18 months now. Have you heard John Ioannidis speak on the BBC, or any mainstream media outlet? Nope. We hear from Fauci in the US, and people like Vallance, Whitty and Ferguson in the UK. Only voices amplifying the fear, absurd and anti-scientific statistics from nonsense computer models from people who directly benefit financially and otherwise from pushing lockdowns, fear-porn and ultimately “vaccines”. John Ioannidis has nothing to gain. He’s not got any skin in the game. He doesn’t have shares in not having lockdowns. He’s not on the payroll of not scaring people. He has all the credentials the usual media talking-heads demand you have if you dare to question the COVID orthodoxy, but you won’t see him invited into any mainstream discussion. Why? Because he isn’t preaching the doctrine of COVID.
