Quotes about Disinformation from the world's top natural health / natural living authors
"He was already in his fifties, and a power at court, when Justinian selected him as agent provocateur to carry bribes and disinformation to the Nika rioters, a clear indication of the emperor's trust. The trust was due as much to Narses's status as to his proven loyalty; like celibate priests, eunuchs offered their superiors a devotion uncompromised by family ambitions. Moreover, according to Procopius, Narses was also a Monophysite, and therefore probably favored by Theodora as well." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

Zero for fifty-plus years isn't an accident; it's a pattern of a very successfully destructive design. (For more info on this, see "Burn the Olive Tree, Sell the Lexus," elsewhere in this book.)

| "Environmental toxins appear to mess with normal internal signaling pathways, making it difficult for our immune cells to recognize what is foreign and what is self—a bit like a covert enemy force sending up smokescreens and spreading disinformation. Mouse studies show that even subtle signaling imbalances can predispose animals to produce antibodies against the self. In patients with lupus, for instance, certain signaling molecules that relay messages between cells and rally the production of antibodies have been shown to be present in abnormal amounts." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)
| "After all, even those who create disinformation Systems have themselves swallowed disinformation Systems devised by their rivals. As Henry Kissinger once said,

In dealing with cryptozoology, lepufology, disinformation Systems and Quantum Mechanics one eventually feels that one has come close to total nonsense, a basic defect in the human mind (or the Universe?) or some mental fugue similar to schizophrenia or solipsism." - Robert Anton Wilson, Quantum Psychology: How Brain Software Programs You and Your World (Get the book.)
| "Fort Detrick public relations director Norman Covert wrote that the Soviets spread their "disinformation" in an effort to diffuse blame for "the death of nearly 80 persons near Sverdlosk in 1979 due to accidental exposures to a biological weapon."2 That incident was "deflected for more than a decade by disinformation programs emanating from the KGB," he wrote. "Such disinformation programs included the charge that AIDS resulted from a 'cruel experiment at Fort Detrick, which went awry...."' The U.S." - Leonard G.

| "His research team was disbanded and the government never implemented any long-term testing protocol. disinformation was widely circulated. The institute and pro-biotech members of the Royal Society staged so-called peer-reviews, but didn't use all the test data, had no nutritionists doing the critique of a nutritional study and made sweeping claims that contradicted the research." - Jeffrey M. Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Get the book.)
| "This encroachment on the freedom of speech will no doubt continue because the drug companies, the FDA, and all the promoters of conventional medicine realize that as long as people are free to tell the truth on the internet, they cannot win their war of oppression, disinformation, and censorship. They must ban health information from appearing on the internet if they are going to complete their domination of the health consumer.
If they succeed, then someday it may not only be illegal to sell broccoli sprouts; it might also be illegal to state that broccoli sprouts actually prevent cancer!" - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

| "As Hill knew at the time, the real difficulties of the field have been complicated by a stream of disinformation fueled by short-term economic interests of those who stand to profit from keeping matters unresolved. There is no way to know whether or not the delays in controlling cigarette smoke in the United States and Britain had anything to do with the nefarious origins of the Nazi studies on the problem in the 1930s. Certainly the German studies remained obscure. A 1931 study by the insurance analyst Frederick Hoffman found increased health risks for smokers." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)
"Judge Gladys Kessler of the Federal District Court of the District of Columbia recently detailed the seamy network on which tobacco disinformation has rested for nearly half a century.

| "Such spin tactics are typical; the corn industry has borrowed from the disinformation playbook of the tobacco industry, who claimed for over 70 years their products were not harmful."
Insiders believe what all this ultimately boils down to is money. "Nestle, Coke, Pepsi, Cadbury Schweppes, Hershey, Kraft, ConAgra, ADM, Cargill, M&M/Mars, Tyson, Campbell's, etc.—there isn't a mainstream food company that isn't using high-fructose corn syrup," one source points out.

| "The campaign by the emerging food industry against natural oils and genuinely beneficial fats such as the very popular coconut oil became fueled by a massive media disinformation that blamed saturated fats for the wave of heart attacks that suddenly started to grip a large portion of the American population. For 30 or more years, coconut oil was nowhere to be found in grocery stores and has only recently re-emerged in health food stores. Coconut oil and other healthful oils were practically replaced by cheap junk oils, including soy oil, cottonseed oil and rapeseed oil." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

| "Meanwhile the disinformation flacks at the USDA, aided by public relations firms and the news media, worked to sweep under the rug the alarming fact that U.S. corporate agribusiness was doing exactly the same thing that Europeans had been doing to spread mad cow disease?feeding cattle, pigs, chickens, households pets, and deer and elk on game farms billions of pounds of blood, slaughterhouse waste, animalfat, and tainted manure every year.

| "It coordinated its work with a whole bevy of wholesalers of disinformation. In 2001, the Office of Strategic Information (OSI) was created, with its very own express line for junk news.

The OGC monitored breaking news reports all over the globe—English and Arabic Internet chat rooms, web sites in at least four more languages, and e-mail lists, and planted false stories abroad." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.)
"American people by resorting to public disinformation on an industrial scale.
August 6, 1914—two years before the United States entered the war—the New York Times reported on a little-remarked incident that occurred on the seas north of Emden, Germany. The British ship Telconia had lowered its grappling hooks and pulled up the undersea cables that connected Germany to the outside world. These lines—one of which ran right to New York—were cut and tossed back into the water. From that moment forward, almost no news could leave Germany and reach the U.S."

| "That incident was "deflected for more than a decade by disinformation programs emanating from the KGB," he wrote. "Such disinformation programs included the charge that AIDS resulted from a 'cruel experiment at Fort Detrick, which went awry...."'

| "To go into the details of these physicians' ordeals would be beyond the scope of this book, but simply researching the history of any American practitioner of Laetrile will show this to be true.
The disinformation put out about Laetrile was focused around two general issues: (1) that Laetrile is too toxic for people to use because it contains cyanide; and (2) that it is simply not effective in treating cancer. The "toxic" argument is laughable." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.)
| "However, such goals should not be achieved through disinformation, or at the expense of an important natural, simple and low caloric source of carbohydrate. We ask that you be guided by the most current scientific evidence and government statements and that your writings and comments be reflective of them. We also ask that you be more precise and accurate in your definitions and cease making misleading or false statements regarding sugar or the sugar industry." - Kelly Brownell and Katherine Battle Horgen, Food Fight (Get the book.)
| "American newspapers, predictably, ignored the story until the US government officially denounced the Soviet article as anti-American disinformation."89 Then they repeated the government denials. "On February 18, 1987 [for example], The Philadelphia Daily News, carried a McClatchy News Service report that Col. David L. Huxsoll, chief of UAAMRIID, told a meeting of scientists that the Soviet charges (of US creation of AIDS) were unfounded 'disinformation.'" - Gary Null, James Feast, AIDS: A Second Opinion (Get the book.)
| "A know has never let me down and this has proved invaluable in charting a path through the misinformation (thought to be true, but isn't) and disinformation (purposely given to mislead) that was coming from all sides as I sought to uncover the truth of what was really happening behind the veil of public statements and the TV news.
I began to realise that the conspiracy was much bigger than just a group of families seeking global control." - David Icke, Icke David, Infinite Love Is the Only Truth: Everything Else Is Illusion (Get the book.)
| "Iraq since well before the first Gulf War.
Still, there's no denying that the press can do damage—lots of it. Back in 1990, the fellows in charge of the PR game came from a DC. firm, Hill & Knowlton, which hatched the first of many fables that took the country down the road to war. Iraqi soldiers in Kuwait were tossing babies out of incubators, they claimed, taking the line from old fibs about the Germans from World War I. Then they roped in the Kuwaiti ambassador's daughter, Nayira, who at the time was nowhere in the vicinity. It was her tear-jerking I-was-there account on the floor of the U." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.)
| "These tactics involved outright harassment of physicians who administered it as well as intentional dissemination of disinformation (outright lies to the public as to its effectiveness). Every physician in the United States who attempted to help their patients with Laetrile was harassed by various agents of the cancer industry. This included physicians being arrested, hauled into court for no good reason, sometimes thrown in jail, and eventually having their medical licenses taken away." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.)
