Gavin de Becker | Fear, Freedom & Resisting Control - SF642

Gavin De Becker's book 'Forbidden Facts' reveals how influential scientific bodies like the Institute of Medicine are private, funded by industry and government, and used to legitimize predetermined outcomes, often suppressing inconvenient truths about product safety, particularly concerning vaccines.

• Influential scientific bodies operate as private entities, often funded by industries they are meant to regulate.

• The 'debunking' of vaccine-related concerns is a predetermined process, not genuine scientific inquiry, to protect established narratives.

• Language is actively redefined to control public perception and legitimize profitable, yet potentially harmful, medical products and policies.

The discussion with Gavin De Becker exposes how institutions like the Institute of Medicine, though perceived as authoritative, function as privately funded organizations. Their role often involves providing scientific legitimacy to government and corporate agendas, as evidenced by their reports on Agent Orange and vaccines. This process facilitates the suppression of information, the redefinition of language, and the creation of a 'new technocracy' where profit-driven science dictates public health narratives, rather than genuine inquiry.

Corrupt Science Institutions

• 00:02:59 The Institute of Medicine (IOM), part of the National Academies of Science, is a private organization, not a government agency, funded by government bodies, pharmaceutical companies, and other corporations. Its primary function is to lend scientific legitimacy to government-desired arguments, acting as 'crisis management' rather than a truly independent scientific body. This was evident in its repeated findings of 'no connection whatsoever' between Agent Orange and health problems, despite overwhelming evidence of dioxin toxicity and subsequent deformities, and later in studies concerning vaccines.

The "Debunking" Strategy

• 00:07:37 The IOM applied a similar process to vaccines, convening 'experts' in closed-door meetings with predetermined outcomes, such as not altering the childhood vaccine schedule. The transcripts of these meetings, later leaked, reveal discussions focused on 'how to say it' rather than scientific inquiry, with one participant explicitly comparing their work to Philip Morris denying tobacco causes cancer. This process is used to 'debunk' any connection between vaccines and issues like brain damage or autism, labeling anyone who questions these findings as 'crazy' or 'anti-science,' despite mercury's known toxicity and its presence in vaccines.

Redefining Language for Control

• 00:42:55 Language is deliberately manipulated to control reality and perception, exemplified by the redefinition of key terms like 'vaccine' and 'pandemic.' A vaccine, once defined as a product providing immunity and preventing disease, now merely 'mounts an immune response,' without promising efficacy. Similarly, 'pandemic' no longer requires widespread suffering or death, merely a 'new virus.' This semantic shift, compared to Orwell's '1984,' allows for a continuous reshaping of public understanding and the justification of policies and products, including the downplaying of vaccine side effects like seizures in infants as 'febrile seizures' and 'normal.'

Conspiracy & Profit Motives

• 00:51:50 The system, rather than individual malice, is driven by converging interests where government agencies, like the NIH, receive royalties from pharmaceutical products, creating inherent biases. The 'conspiracy' is not a secret cabal but an open, systematic effort by groups to do wrongful things for profit that they wish the public wouldn't know about. This includes undermining competitive products, overselling benefits, and deceiving consumers, as seen in the mass vaccination campaigns during COVID-19 where product safety data was known to be harmful, yet decisions were made for profit.
