Last [Friday’s shootings in Christchurch](https://www.oye.news/news/shootings/breaking-man-opens-fire-on-a-tram-in-the-dutch-city-of-utrecht/), New Zealand which ended with 50 dead and just as many injured have rung the global bell on a call for tougher media censorship. Yesterday an open letter from Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, who is the head of Counter-Terrorism Policing in the UK was published on the counter-terrorism website. Basu’s letter is a plea for the UK Government to recognise the threat that the free flow of information can have on a nation and to do something about it. Basu points out the ironic fact that *“the same media companies who have lambasted social media platforms for not acting fast enough to remove extremist content are simultaneously publishing uncensored Daesh propaganda on their websites, or make the rambling ‘manifestos’ of crazed killers available for download.”* He said extremist propaganda that might reach tens of thousands of people through their own channels or networks has the potential to reach tens of millions if a national newspaper published it. He goes onto say in summary that: > ‘Society needs to look carefully at itself. We cannot simply hide behind the mantra of freedom of speech. That freedom is not an absolute right, it is not the freedom to cause harm – that is why our hate speech legislation exists.’ [source](https://www.counterterrorism.police.uk/acso-neil-basu-issues-open-letter-about-reporting-of-terrorism/) Basu continually refers to this dangerous information that the UK’s media is publishing as Terrorist propaganda, which he claims inspires other potential terrorists into action, he bases this assessment from the statements of terrorists his team have interviewed over the years. I think it is undeniable that information can be dangerous, it can reinforce beliefs and prejudices, it can raise one’s emotions causing anger and fear. This is true whether the information is accurate or not. Information which has been designed to produce a specific public emotional response, propaganda, is even more dangerous – But, it’s not the root of the problem, it merely accelerates an exceptionally small minority of people to do what they were inevitably going to do anyway. Censoring our media is a far more dangerous path to take, with dire consequences. A government which controls its media and dictates the flow of information is a Government who has a self-perpetuating power and thus unbreakable control over its people. While we have been condemning dictatorships across the World for decades with the oppression they place upon their people through censorship and their own propaganda we are voluntarily begging for it ourselves, a little bit at a time. ______________________ Read this article in its original format and thousands more over on our [WEBSITE](https://www.oye.news/news/freedoms/censorship/christchurch-shootings-inspire-global-censorship/)

 Last week we heard how the jury determined that Glyphosate was a major factor in the cause of Cancer in a retired Californian farmer. Hardeman, 70, sprayed more than 6,000 gallons of Roundup in his lifetime, according to his lawyer, he used the toxic formula on his large plot of land in Sonoma County, California, about 60 miles north of San Francisco. Today a jury has ordered that Hardeman should be awarded $80 Million in damages, Monsanto and their new owners Bayer are of course appealing the verdict. _____________ https://youtu.be/qVXPNPpRGz4 _____________ The law firm representing Hardeman said in a statement, > *“It is clear from Monsanto’s actions that it does not care whether Roundup causes cancer, focusing instead on manipulating public opinion and undermining anyone who raises genuine and legitimate concerns about Roundup. Today, the jury resoundingly held Monsanto accountable for its 40 years of corporate malfeasance and sent a message to Monsanto that it needs to change the way it does business”*[ [source]](https://www.npr.org/2019/03/27/707439575/jury-awards-80-million-in-damages-in-roundup-weed-killer-cancer-trial) Bayer has responded to the verdict in a statement: > “We are disappointed with the jury’s decision, but this verdict does not change the weight of over four decades of extensive science and the conclusions of regulators worldwide that support the safety of our glyphosate-based herbicides and that they are not carcinogenic.”[[source]](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-who-blamed-monsanto-s-roundup-weed-killer-his-cancer-n988226) ________________ Please visit our website at [OYE NEWS](https://www.oye.news) for the latest in News, Documentaries and Critical Thinking

As from Sunday people in China will be required to scan their faces when registering for new mobile phone services. The regulation was announced just two months ago and is being justified as protecting the ‘legitimate rights and interests of citizens in cyberspace’ Facial recognition is already used in excess in China as the state continues to increase mass surveillance of its people in what’s beginning to look like an Orwellian nightmare. The new regulation for telecom operators was framed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology as a way to “strengthen” this system and ensure that the government can identify all mobile phone users. Most Chinese internet users access the web via their phones.

In a completely predictable turn of events, Merck has been formally accused of fraud and a host of other serious charges relating to the approval and marketing of the troubled, liability-free human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine, which they named Gardasil. This is the same vaccine for which our Maryland State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOH) has accepted over $100 million since 2011 to stealth market and hard-sell throughout the state. The marketing also specifically includes targeting our 11 and 12 year olds sitting at their school desks. The claims of the plaintiffs are being heard by Judge Maren Nelson in California Superior Court in the matter of Robi V Merck CA BC628589. A dream team of plaintiff pharma attorneys includes renowned names: Ajalat & Ajalat; Weitz & Luxenberg; Morgan & Morgan; and Baum Hedlund, all of whom have teamed up to take on what they call “the most dangerous vaccine ever.” The list of formal claims against Merck include: 1) Fraud and deceit; 2) Negligent misrepresentation; 3) Defective product- inadequate warnings and information; and 4) medical malpractice and medical battery. On January 9, 2019, Judge Maren heard hours of testimony about the science of the case from both sides. She then denied Merck’s motion to dismiss and set discovery. The case will go on. The full case file is attached above. The people who are suffering the negative effects of this irresponsible public health policy are our children. The Maryland Department of Health ignored the death of 21-year-old Christina Tarsell, of Baltimore County. The judicial decision that her death was caused by Gardasil was announced in Sept, 2017, a year in which the Maryland DOH accepted over $17 million in HPV vaccine kickbacks from pharma funded front groups. There have been over 681 Vaccine Adverse Event Reports related to the HPV vaccine in Maryland since 2006, 50 of them classified as “serious”— and our state bureaucrats not only took no action to protect us, but also actively covered up the problems. The Maryland DOH was alerted, as was Governor Hogan’s office, that the testing on this vaccine was flawed and that Gardasil could cause problems. The allegations in Robi v Merck, discussed above, include the following specific medical issues that happened in the clinical trials, but were suppressed by Merck: 2.3% experienced serious autoimmune disease within seven months; death rates two times greater than background rates; five times greater numbers of birth defects among pregnant trial participants, and ten times greater numbers of reproductive issues. Perhaps most troubling of all, the evidence heard in January 2019 by Judge Maren in California Superior Court included allegations that certain clinical trial groups receiving Gardasil were up to 45% more likely to develop precancerous cervical lesions or cancer than compared to unvaccinated girls. Robi further alleges that Merck knew all this, and deliberately covered it up, just as years before, Merck years had covered up knowledge that its Vioxx product was causing vascular events such as strokes and heart attacks. Vioxx wound up killing an estimated 90,000 people. The HPV vaccine public health policy in Maryland is a nauseating throwback to the bad old days of Vioxx, Avandia, and other major medical marketing scams in which Merck itself was found to be criminally guilty of marketing fraud. It is medicine by sales contest, with safety and effectiveness secondary to the discussion of how this product is going to make everyone who touches it rich. Rather than providing oversight, and reining in this money grab, the Maryland state bureaucrats instead became willing participants, to the tune of $100,000,000 and counting. We in the State of Maryland wrongly presumed that our public health bureaucrats have their eyes on our safety, and the safety of our kids, when in fact, they are playing a high stakes game of vaccine money ball. Our kids are sold out to pharma by the very people we elect and entrust to keep them safe. This story shares amazing parallels to the Flint Michigan water crisis, and comes to us courtesy of the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Take Action! E-mail Governor Hogan. The message for him is short and simple: Stop all state, federal, and non-profit funding for Merck’s liability-free Gardasil shot in Maryland. ______________________ For the best in unfiltered News and Opinion from around the World visit [OYE NEWS](https://www.oye.news) This article was first published by Josh Mazer at [www.arundelpatriot.org](www.arundelpatriot.org)
