Pfizer Scientist: ‘Your Antibodies are Probably Better than the Vaccination’

 

 

Pfizer COVID-19 Vaxx Exposed Pt4

Project Veritas

 

§  Nick Karl, Pfizer Scientist: “When somebody is naturally immune -- like they got COVID -- they probably have more antibodies against the virus…When you actually get the virus, you’re going to start producing antibodies against multiple pieces of the virus…So, your antibodies are probably better at that point than the [COVID] vaccination.”

 

§  Chris Croce, Pfizer Senior Associate Scientist: “You’re protected for longer” if you have natural COVID antibodies compared to the COVID vaccine.

 

§  Croce: “I work for an evil corporation…Our organization is run on COVID money.”

 

§  Rahul Khandke, Pfizer Scientist: “If you have [COVID] antibodies built up, you should be able to prove that you have those built up.”

 

[NEW YORK – Oct. 4, 2021] Project Veritas released the fourth video in its COVID vaccine investigative series today which exposed three Pfizer officials saying that antibodies lead to equal, if not better, protection against the virus compared to the vaccine.

Nick Karl, a scientist who is directly involved in the production of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine, said that natural immunity is more effective than the very vaccine he works on, and Pfizer produces.

 

“When somebody is naturally immune -- like they got COVID -- they probably have more antibodies against the virus…When you actually get the virus, you’re going to start producing antibodies against multiple pieces of the virus…So, your antibodies are probably better at that point than the [COVID] vaccination,” Karl said. Notwithstanding, Karl still believes that vaccine mandates are positive for society.

 

“The city [of New York] needs like vax cards and everything. It’s just about making it so inconvenient for unvaccinated people to the point where they're just like, ‘F*ck it. I’ll get it.’ You know?”

 

A second Pfizer official, Senior Associate Scientist, Chris Croce, corroborated Karl’s assertion about COVID immunity derivative of antibodies:

 

Veritas Journalist: “So, I am well-protected [with antibodies]?”

Chris Croce, Pfizer Senior Associate Scientist: “Yeah.”

Veritas Journalist: “Like as much as the vaccine?”

 

Croce: “Probably more.”

 

Veritas Journalist: “How so? Like, how much more?”

 

Croce: “You're protected most likely for longer since there was a natural response.”

Croce expressed dismay with his company’s direction and moral compass:

 

Veritas Journalist: “So, what happened to the monoclonal antibody treatments?”

 

Croce: “[It got] pushed to the side.”

 

Veritas Journalist: “Why?”

Croce: “Money. It's disgusting.”

Croce: “I still feel like I work for an evil corporation because it comes down to profits in the end. I mean, I'm there to help people, not to make millions and millions of dollars. So, I mean, that's the moral dilemma.”

 

Veritas Journalist: “Isn’t it billions and billions?”

 

Croce: “I’m trying to be nice.”

 

Veritas Journalist: “No, I hear you. I hear you. I do. I mean, I’ll still give you a hard time about it.”

 

Croce: “Basically, our organization is run on COVID money now.”

 

The third Pfizer scientist, Rahul Khandke, admitted his company demands that its employees keep information from the public.

 

“We're bred and taught to be like, ‘vaccine is safer than actually getting COVID.’ Honestly, we had to do so many seminars on this. You have no idea. Like, we have to sit there for hours and hours and listen to like -- be like, ‘you cannot talk about this in public,’” Khandke said.

 

Khandke also signaled that proof of antibodies is on par with proof of vaccination.

 

“If you have [COVID] antibodies built up, you should be able to prove that you have those built up,” he said.

More than 500,000 adverse events reported after COVID vaccines, from temps to neuropathy

As of Sept. 27, 2021 there were 569,294 adverse event reports associated with COVID-19 vaccination in the U.S., according to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

 

By Sharyl Attkisson

JUST THE NEWS

 

The most common disorders reported after COVID-19 vaccinations in the U.S. include temperature-related issues (226,457), skin problems (174,793), and a category that includes movement, muscle, nerve, neuropathy, numbness, and paralysis (164,200).

 

That's according to an original analysis of the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

 

Next in line are non-specified pain-related issues (139,395), feeling abnormal, tired or weak (139,395), injection site reactions (121,538), headaches (111,549), heart events (79,012), and lung or respiratory problems (77,976).

 

Abdominal problems (40,415), getting COVID-19 after vaccination (34,589), and blood clots or bleeding, including in the heart and brain (32,023), are also common among the VAERS reports.

 

So are product issues (29,661) and mood or memory problems (31,720).

 

As of Sept. 27, 2021 there were 569,294 adverse event reports associated with COVID-19 vaccination in the U.S., with a total of 2,433,730 symptoms reported.

 

Report an adverse event after vaccination online here.

 

Each symptom reported does not necessarily equal one patient. Adverse event reports often include multiple symptoms for a single patient.

 

Reporting of illnesses and symptoms that occur after COVID-19 vaccination does not necessarily mean they were caused by the vaccine. The system is designed to collect adverse events that occur after vaccination to uncover any patterns of illnesses that were not captured during vaccine studies.

 

Read CDC info on COVID-19 vaccine here.

 

Reports can be made by doctors, patients or family members and/or acquaintances, or vaccine industry representatives.

 

Scientists have estimated that adverse events occur at a rate manyfold higher than what is reported in VAERS, since it is assumed that most adverse events are not reported through the tracking system.

 

Read: Exclusive summary: COVID-19 vaccine concerns.

 

However, some observers claim COVID-19 vaccine adverse events are not as likely to be underreported as those associated with other medicine, due to close monitoring and widespread publicity surrounding COVID-19 vaccination.

 

Approximately 391 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been given in the U.S. to 185 million people. It's estimated about 56% of the population is fully vaccinated. This is not believed to include more than one million people who crossed the border illegally so far this year.

 

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the benefits of COVID-19 vaccine outweigh the risks for all groups and age categories authorized to receive it.

 

Watch: CDC disinformation re: studies on COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness in people who have had COVID-19.

 

The following is a summary of health alerts issued in the U.S. or around the world, and how the adverse events reported in the VAERS database fit in. That's followed by a list broken down into 78 groupings of common categories of side effects reported. 

 

Health concerns raised in the U.S. and around the world:

 

Functional Neurological Disorder

 

Researchers in the United Kingdom are studying cases of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) in women in their 30s who became ill after receiving COVID-19 vaccines. FND Symptoms can include limb weakness, paralysis, tremor, spasms, problems walking, speech problems, tingling, vision loss, seizures, fatigue, anxiety, chronic pain, memory symptoms, and blackouts.

 

An analysis of the VAERS database shows hundreds of thousands of reports of such symptoms.

 

Lymphadenopathy: 16,858 reports

 

Earlier this month, the Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA vaccine was found to be associated with an increased risk of lymphadenopathy, swelling or inflammation of lymph nodes according to a real-world case-control study from Israel.

 

Facial Paralysis: 5,273 reports

 

An analysis in Hong Kong showed risk of Bell's palsy is higher with CoronaVac (Sinovac Biotech) shot, a vaccine formulation not currently used in the U.S. Bell's palsy is facial paralysis, muscle twitching, or weakness. It may include change in taste and pain around the ear, increased sensitivity to sound known as hyperacusis.

 

 

Guillain-Barre Syndrome Paralysis: 696 reports

In July, the FDA added warnings about Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) paralysis in people who got the Johnson and Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. GBS is an autoimmune disorder that damages nerve cells, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis. One in 20 cases is fatal.

 

The European Union has also reported GBS as a possible side effect from Johnson and Johnson's vaccine. In the U.K. and India, scientists have also linked Guillain-Barre syndrome to the AstraZeneca vaccine, which is not used in the U.S. A case has also been reported in a patient who got the Pfizer vaccine.

 

According to CDC, most cases have been reported about two weeks after vaccination in men, many 50 years and older.

 

A study in Journal of Neurology examined possible links between the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, and acute Central Nervous System (CNS) demyelination, including Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

 

Demyelination including Multiple Sclerosis (MS): More than 650 reports

Demyelinating diseases damage the protective covering surrounding nerve fibers in the brain, optic nerves and spinal cord, causing neurological problems. Ages ranged from 24 to 64 years old. Four patients were ultimately diagnosed with exacerbation of their stable MS. Two were diagnosed with new cases of MS. One was diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica.

 

An analysis of the VAERS database shows more than 650 related reports, including MS.

 

Myocarditis, Pericarditis, Endocarditis: 2,810 reports

According to CDC, it is investigating reports of the heart disorders myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccine to see if there is a relationship.

 

Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and myocarditis.

 

The Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA vaccine was found to triple the risk of myocarditis, according to a real-world case-control study from Israel, which found "vaccination had a strong association with an increased risk of myocarditis."

 

The FDA added a warning to Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines about risk of heart inflammation.

 

As of June of 2021, CDC said more than 1,200 cases of heart inflammation (myocarditis or pericarditis) in young people had been reported after Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccination.

 

§  More than half were after the second dose.

 

§  Most of the injuries are in males under age 30.

 

However, in August, a new, independent study of medical records found the incidences of myocarditis and pericarditis are more than five times more common than CDC reported.

 

The Israeli Ministry of Health announced it's monitoring for heart inflammation after Pfizer's vaccine due to reports of problems. An Aug. 10 study in JAMA Cardiology confirms the Pfizer vaccine's previously identified myocarditis (heart inflammation) risk in young boys.

 

Read the study here.

 

study of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines published in September finds teenage boys are six times more likely to suffer heart issues from COVID-19 vaccination than from COVID.

 

Breakthrough COVID cases (lack of immunity): 34,589

 

Concerns about waning immunity heightened in June 2021 when Israel announced that about half of the adults infected with COVID-19 during its outbreak in the June 2021 time period were fully vaccinated. The fully vaccinated individuals had received the Pfizer shots.

 

In early September, an analysis of data in Israel showed almost 60% of those hospitalized for COVID were fully vaccinated. "This is a very clear warning sign for the rest of the world," said Ran Balicer, CIO at Clalit Health Services, Israel's largest health maintenance organization. "If it can happen here, it can probably happen anywhere."

 

With evidence of seriously waning immunity at the five- to six-month mark, and thousands of fully vaccinated patients hospitalized with COVID-19 or dying from the virus, CDC is now recommending a third "booster" shot in some patients.

 

The VAERS database shows 34,589 reports of COVID-19 after vaccination as well as COVID-19 pneumonia, suspected cases, and complications.

 

Blood Clots and Disorders: More than 32,000 reports

 

In late June, the first case of a blood clot disorder called "thrombosis with thrombocytopenia" after an RNA double-dose vaccine was reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The case was that of a 65-year-old man who developed symptoms ten days after his second dose of the Moderna vaccine.

 

According to the CDC, "Recent reports indicate a plausible causal relationship between the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and TTS, a rare and serious adverse event — blood clots with low platelets — which has caused deaths."

 

The CDC and FDA say they identified 47 confirmed reports of people who "got the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and later developed TTS. Women younger than 50 years old especially should be aware of the rare but increased risk of this adverse event." The agencies also confirmed two cases after Moderna's vaccine but say they do not believe there is a link.

 

An Aug. 10 study in JAMA Cardiology urged caution in giving COVID-19 vaccine to certain high-risk patients due to the vaccine link to thrombocytopenia with thrombosis. "One of the devastating manifestations of this syndrome, termed vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), is cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST)," say the study authors. The link involves the AstraZeneca/Oxford and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, according to the study.

 

Read the study here.

 

An editorial published in the Journal of the American Medical Association recommended women under age 50 avoid the Johnson & Johnson vaccine due to concerns about blood clots. The recommendation discussed 12 case reports of a blood disorder known as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) with thrombocytopenia following the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

 

The AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, not used in the U.S., has been linked to a dangerous disorder involving blood clots with low blood platelets. On April 7, 2021, the European Medicines Agency says it made the association after it analyzed 62 cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and 24 cases of splanchnic vein thrombosis reported in the EU drug safety database (EudraVigilance) as of March 22, 2021; 18 of which were fatal.

 

The Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine was temporarily removed from the market.

 

Read: BBC radio news anchor dies of blood clots after COVID vaccine

 

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine was allowed back on the market April 27, 2021 with new warnings about the disorder.

 

Many countries have restricted vaccines in people under age 65, 60 or 50 due to reports of blood clots in young people. Some countries have halted the Astra Zeneca or Johnson & Johnson shots due to blood clot concerns.

 

Menstrual-related: 10,318 reports

 

All brands of COVID-19 vaccines are associated with changes in menstrual cycles of women, according to a British study in September. The more-than-10,000 reports of menstrual issues in the VAERS database includes periods that are abnormally heavy, painful, irregular, short or absent.

 

Death: 8,164

 

"Reports of death after COVID-19 vaccination are rare," according to the CDC.

 

"Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem," the national public health agency emphasizes. "A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records, has not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines."

 

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html

 

Pregnancy-related: 1,844 reports

 

CDC says that COVID-19 vaccines are safe for pregnant women and their unborn children. There are more than 1,800 reports of pregnancy-related problems in the VAERS database.

 

Herpes-related: 6,339 reports

 

The Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA vaccine was found to be associated with an increased risk of herpes zoster infection, according to a real-world case-control study from Israel.

 

Anaphylactic reaction or shock: 1,803 reports

 

According to the CDC, "anaphylaxis after COVID-19 vaccination is rare and has occurred in approximately 2 to 5 people per million vaccinated in the United States."

 

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html

 

Appendicitis, perforated, appendectomy: 926 reports

 

The Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA vaccine was found to be associated with increased risk of appendicitis, according to a real-world case-control study from Israel.

Bang! Murder-suicide instantly classified as COVID deaths

 


In case you are unaware, surviving COVID is more or less 99% depending on one’s age group. NOW THAT IS AMAZING for any viral disease classified by the governments of the world as a pandemic, RIGHT?

 

Would YOU then find it interesting that if among the (again more or less depending on age) 1% that are documented as died by COVID were ACTUALLY death by another cause OTHER THAN COVID?

 

Consider this Colorado document-deception I suspect is quite prevalent across America and PROBABLY prevalent globally perpetrated by a Left-Wing agenda to control the will of human lives.

Bang! Murder-suicide instantly classified as COVID deaths

Attkisson: 'Totals we've heard since start of pandemic could be largely misleading'

Kristin Reilly died with a gunshot wound in her head last year.

 

But Colorado officials said the actual cause of her death was COVID-19.

 

Likewise her husband, Lucais Reilly, after allegedly shooting his wife in the head, turned the gun on himself and committed suicide.

 

He also died of COVID, the bureaucracy in the far-left state determined.

 

The details are from a new report from investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson, who noted the explanation from coroner Brenda Bock in Grand County, where those two deaths happened.

 

"I had a homicide-suicide the end of November [2020], and the very next day it showed up on the state website as COVID deaths," Bock said. "And they were gunshot wounds. And I questioned that immediately because I had not even signed off the death certificates yet, and the state was already reporting them as COVID deaths."

 

Bock explained that nowhere in the death certificates is COVID mentioned.

 

"So we have a homicide, suicide, nothing to do with COVID."

 

That case, however, had nothing on the two later Grand County "deaths" that "popped up on the state's COVID count," Attkisson explained.

 

That's because those people "were actually still alive."

 

The county commissioners asked the state to correct its reporting and eventually, some adjustment was made, but James Caruso, chief medical examiner in Denver, said the same issue was found statewide.

 

He told Attkisson, "I think early on, the people signing the death certificates probably were doing it accurately. But at some level – maybe the state level, maybe the federal level – there's a possibility that they were cross-referencing COVID tests. And that people who tested positive for COVID were listed as a COVID-related death, regardless of their true cause of death."

 

He said he warned the state Department of Public Safety that there were, in fact, significant differences between dying "of" COVID or "with" COVID.

 

At issue is the death toll in the United States being blamed on the virus that likely escaped from a Chinese research facility where scientists work on how to make them more dangerous.

 

Some 640,000 deaths in the United States have been blamed on COVID since it arrived early in 2020. Some charge the death toll is much higher, some lower.

 

But it has been blatantly political, with legacy media organizations blaming President Trump for the first 300,000 or 400,000 deaths that happened during his presidency.

 

But they've been conspicuously silent on about the same number of deaths under Biden's presidency.

 

Bock told Attkisson she discussed the errors in the state's system with Gov. Jared Polis.

 

"He told me he didn't believe it was right, but he wasn't going to have them remove it [the homicide and suicide victims] from the count because all the other states were doing it that way so we were going to also."

 

Polis refused to be interviewed by Attkisson, but a spokesman said the state website added a note explaining some deaths "occurred when the individual had COVID-19."

 

Under Polis' tenure, the state of Colorado has reported just under 14,000 "COVID" deaths, with about half of those dying "with" COVID.

 

Attkisson reported, "The obvious implications are huge. If such a significant number of Colorado's 'COVID deaths' weren’t directly caused by COVID, or even related at all in some cases, and if that bears out in other states, it means the national totals we've heard since the start of the pandemic could be largely misleading."

 

Dr. Deborah Birx, who is on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, said the process is simple.

 

"If someone dies with COVID-19, we are counting that as a COVID-19 death," she has said.

 

That leads in Colorado to COVID deaths in traffic accidents and nursing home deaths, "even though the attending physicians said they weren't related to coronavirus," Attkisson reported.

 

In Nashville, Hal Short died of cancer after testing negative for COVID, but his wife still saw his death described as being caused by COVID, Attkisson reported.

 

See Attkisson's report here.

 

Anthony Fauci, Biden's chief medical adviser, still insists the number of COVID victims "is likely higher."

 

Bock explained to Attkisson, "I believe Covid is real. And I believe people do get very sick from it. And I do believe a small number do die from that. I do not believe a homicide-suicide belongs in that number."

Intro to The Main Story Is Not What They Did To Stop Trump, It's Why

John R, Houk, Editor
Posted January 26, 2018


Tim Brown at Freedom Outpost discusses the reaction of Sharyl Attkisson to the Dems and the Dem-supporting allies in the FBI and DOJ stonewalling on the Republican members of the House Intel Committee desire to release the FISA Memo put together by the Chairman Rep. Gerald Nunes which exposes criminal conspiracy in those departments.

Brown’s analytical thoughts on Attkisson are spot-on. I should say Attkisson is spot-on. She insightfully claims Conservatives are asking the wrong question pertaining to the release of the FISA Memo. Here’s quote from an Attkisson Tweet:

The main story isn't about what they allegedly did to try to stop Trump. It's *why.* It's about what they feared Trump & Co. would expose.”

Before I get to the Brown post, I think it will help the reader to know a little about Sharyl Attkisson. She worked at CBS for over two decades until ran afoul with the network over her investigative reporting on (treasonous) President Barack Hussein Obama over Benghazigate. No matter what the MSM may paint her to be in her present incarnation as a reporter she has an awesome journalistic pedigree indicating she is no slouch investigator. First a little bio info from Wikipedia:

Sharyl Attkisson (born January 26, 1961[4]) is an American author and host of the weekly Sunday public affairs program Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson, which airs on television stations operated by the Sinclair Broadcast Group.[5] She was formerly an investigative correspondent in the Washington bureau for CBS News. She had also substituted as anchor for the CBS Evening News. She resigned from CBS News on March 10, 2014, after 21 years with the network. Her book Stonewalled reached number 3 on The New York Times e-book non-fiction best seller list in November 2014[6] and number 5 on The New York Times combined print and e-book non-fiction best-seller list the same week.[7]


… Her step-father is an orthopedic surgeon, and her brother is an emergency room physician. Attkisson graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in broadcast journalism in 1982.[9]

Career

Attkisson began her broadcast journalism career in 1982, aged 22, as a reporter at WUFT-TV, the PBS station in Gainesville, Florida. She later worked as an anchor and reporter at WTVX-TV Fort Pierce/West Palm Beach, Florida from 1982–1985, WBNS-TV, the CBS affiliate in Columbus, Ohio from 1985–86, and WTVT Tampa, Florida (1986–1990).[10]

1990s

From 1990–1993, Attkisson was an anchor for CNN, and also served as a key anchor for CBS space exploration coverage in 1993.[11] Attkisson left CNN in 1993,[12] moving to CBS, where she anchored the television news broadcast CBS News Up to the Minute and became an investigative correspondent based in Washington, D.C.[10]

She served on the University of Florida's Journalism College Advisory Board (1993–1997) and was its chair in 1996.[10] The University gave her an Outstanding Achievement Award in 1997. From 1997 to 2003, Attkisson simultaneously hosted CBS News Up to the Minute and the PBS health-news magazine HealthWeek.[13]

2000s

Attkisson received an Investigative Reporters and Editors (I.R.E.) Finalist award for Dangerous Drugs in 2000.[14] In 2001, Attkisson received an Investigative Emmy Award nomination for Firestone Tire Fiasco from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.[15]

In 2002, she co-authored a  READ THE REST (Sharyl Attkisson; Wikipedia; page was last edited 12/31/17 12:46)

Well, that’s Attkisson’s pedigree. Now read a bit of the details that has probably made her anathema among the typical Leftist MSM outlets:

Sharyl Attkisson is an investigative journalist who became the story when she quit CBS News after two decades amid allegations that the network refused to run some of her stories that were critical of President Barack Obama. Ahead of the Tuesday release of her book Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obama’s Washington, she spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about her struggles with CBS executives and her assertion that her computers were hacked, possibly by Obama operatives.


Who did you tell at CBS that your computers were hacked?

The first person I spoke to was Washington bureau chief Chris Isham.

Did he believe you?

He appeared to.

Did CBS care? Did they do anything about it?

God, you know, there’s a lot of people there. He seemed to care. He hired a separate computer forensics firm to look at the computers. They, too, agreed that there had been highly sophisticated remote intrusion of my computers. They decided to dig deeper and embark upon a process that spanned a number of months, during which time the situation with the Associated Press and the government spying on Fox News reporter James Rosen was disclosed, as well as Edward Snowden’s NSA information.

Did they ever find out who hacked your computers and spied on you?

I don’t believe their computer forensics team concluded who spied on me.

Did they ask anybody in the Obama administration if they were the culprits?

Not to my knowledge. Executives discussed with me that they assumed that was the case. And we discussed how to proceed with that information and what we could do about it.

So what did you do about it?

It seemed to fall off the radar after the forensics report was delivered to CBS. And so I hired a — I have a legal and forensics team that began work.

Did they conclude anything yet?

Yes. Her work is still very much active, but they have told me they have evidence of highly sophisticated remote intrusions into my personal and work computers by someone using software proprietary to a government agency.


Do you believe that people working for the president of the United States hacked your computer and spied on you?

The way you phrase the question makes me want to couch it a little bit. I have been told by two computer forensics experts that a highly sophisticated entity using abilities outside non-government resources, using software proprietary either to the DIA, CIA, FBI or NSA made repeat remote intrusions into both my computers over a period of time. And we have evidence of a government computer connection into my computer system.


Did your colleagues give you grief about your negative stories on Obama?

Not my reporter colleagues.

But you have said your bosses kind of shut down a lot of your reporting?

Some of them did. It was very complicated. All of them encouraged my reporting initially, and then as time went on some of them encouraged it and some of them discouraged it.

Who were the ones discouraging it?

Nobody ever discouraged it to my face, they just would not run the stories or would have other stories they wanted to put on every time the stories were offered. That was CBS News with Scott Pelley and his executive producer Pat Shevlin primarily, but there may have been others.


It sounds like you've been telling me that journalists at CBS who don't toe a certain line have something to fear there. Is that the case at other networks, too?

I’m not sure we have anything to fear. It’s just that if you want to keep working there, you may not be doing what you want to do. In my case it was not being willing to do what they wanted me to do, or disagreeing with it so much that I just would rather move on. I don't think reporters are fearful, per se, but I think they will tell you at the other networks that it’s getting more difficult to get original and hard-nosed stories on, especially if they don't fit with the narrative that the gatekeepers in New York are trying to portray. … READ ENTIRETY (Former CBS News Reporter Sharyl Attkisson Claims Existence of Obama Enemies' List; By Paul Bond; HollywoodReporter.com; 11/3/2014 11:00 PM PST)

Investigative Journalist Sharyl Attkisson: "The Main Story Is Not What They Did To Stop Trump, It's Why"

JANUARY 25, 2018

In commenting on the current brouhaha about the FISA memo and the violations of law by the NSA and the Obama administration, as well as the collusion of the FBI and DOJ to take down Donald Trump before he could be elected president, investigative reporter and author of The Smear: How Shady Political Operatives and Fake News Control What You See, What You Think, and How You Vote Sharyl Attkisson said that the main story is not about what they did to Trump to stop him, but why they did it.

In a tweet on Wednesday, Attkisson wrote, "My take for what little it's worth: The main story isn't about what they allegedly did to try to stop Trump. It's *why.* It's about what they feared Trump & Co. would expose. I think that will turn out to be the bigger can of worms."



She was then asked, "Is the [Robert] Mueller Investigations real purpose is to cover up the FBI/DOJ mistakes, attempting to bring down a sitting President?"

Attkisson replied, "I believe the better question is *why* some bad actors in intel community were so panicked at the thought of Trump being president, bringing in people who would examine what they've been doing the past 15+ years."



She then added, "(Including the time when Mueller was FBI Director). Disclaimer note: Mueller is not accused of any wrongdoing."



Well, not so fast.  He stands accused of a lot of wrongdoing, whether anyone has actually brought an indictment against him is something else.


Furthermore, we know from a leaked cable from Wikileaks that the State Department under Hillary Clinton was to have Mueller conduct a Uranium transfer with the Russians in 2009 at a “secret tarmac meeting,” which occurred on September 21, 2009.

Attkisson went on to tweet, "It's fair to say there's panic among some bad actors within our intel agencies who are now pulling out all the stops to try to spin Congress & the media & keep from getting inside. That kind of panic can lead to mistakes being made."

"Interesting to see "open govt." groups & advocates pressing to keep "the memo" secret. This may be unprecedented." she added.



She did follow up her tweets with an op-ed at The Hill in which she asked:

What happens when federal agencies accused of possible wrongdoing — also control the alleged evidence against them? What happens when they’re the ones in charge of who inside their agencies — or connected to them — ultimately gets investigated and possibly charged?

She then followed up with two very important issues to keep in mind during the investigation.

Those questions are moving to the forefront as the facts play out in the investigations into our intelligence agencies’ surveillance activities.

There are two overarching issues.

First, there’s the alleged improper use of politically-funded opposition research to justify secret warrants to spy on U.S. citizens for political purposes.

Second, if corruption is ultimately identified at high levels in our intel agencies, it would necessitate a re-examination of every case and issue the officials touched over the past decade — or two — under administrations of both parties.

This is why I think the concerns transcend typical party politics.

It touches everybody. It’s potentially monumental.

Of course, she pointed out that not only are there people in the Justice Department, as well as Congress, trying to stop the FISA memo from being presented to the public, but even media outlets and reporters are attempting to keep it secret.

She wrote, "Meantime, the Department of Justice has officially warned the House Intelligence Committee not to release its memo. It's like the possible defendant in a criminal trial threatening prosecutors for having the audacity to reveal alleged evidence to the judge and jury."

"This is the first time I can recall open government groups and many reporters joining in the argument to keep the information secret," she added.  "They are strangely uncurious about alleged improprieties with implications of the worst kind: Stasi-like tactics used against Americans. 'Don’t be irresponsible and reveal sources and methods,' they plead."

She then followed up with what everyone should agree on simply because we don't have two Constitutions, but one.

"As for me? I don’t care what political stripes the alleged offenders wear or whose side they’re on," she wrote.  "If their sources and methods are inappropriate, they should be fully exposed and stopped."

Indeed, and they should be prosecuted.  The why is important, but the simple violations of the law are enough that indictments and arrests should be taking place.
