One seg­ment

Begin­ning with the res­ig­na­tion of the Euro­pean Com­mis­sion, this pro­gram high­lights “mat­ters Euro­pean” dur­ing the first half the broad­cast. The Commission’s res­ig­na­tion gives more polit­i­cal power to the Euro­pean Par­lia­ment and will reduce the influ­ence of the United King­dom and France within the EU — this at a time when Ger­many is seek­ing impor­tant polit­i­cal and eco­nomic con­ces­sions from both coun­tries. In the past, the Euro­pean Par­lia­ment has proved polit­i­cally acces­si­ble to fas­cist and Nazi can­di­dates. Com­par­ing arti­cles from both the L.A. Times and Finan­cial Times of Lon­don, the dis­cus­sion cen­ters on analy­sis of grow­ing trade fric­tion between the United States and the Euro­pean Union. Grow­ing com­mer­cial and polit­i­cal fric­tion between these pow­ers impelled Ger­many to pro­pose sep­a­rate Euro­pean mil­i­tary and secu­rity arrange­ments. In numer­ous broad­casts, Mr. Emory has advanced his opin­ion that the next major inter­na­tional con­flict would be between Ger­many and the German-dominated EU and the United States. Mr. Emory believes Ger­many will ulti­mately pre­vail in this con­flict, bar­ring sig­nif­i­cant alter­ation in the course of world events. After high­light­ing sev­eral crit­i­cal flaws in stan­dard argu­ments for gun con­trol, the pro­gram turns to the issue of the con­t­a­m­i­na­tion of the polio vac­cine with the can­cer caus­ing simian virus SV40. (This viral con­t­a­m­i­na­tion is a major focal point of the land­mark research of Ed Haslam, author of Mary, Fer­rie and the Mon­key virus: The Story of an Under­ground Med­ical Lab­o­ra­tory, Copy­right, 1995 by Wordsworth Press.) Alarm­ingly, the onco­genic virus (appar­ently respon­si­ble for a soft-tissue can­cer epi­demic sweep­ing the United States) can hybridize with DNA viruses, com­pound­ing its path­o­genic qual­i­ties and mak­ing it more elu­sive. In addi­tion, research pre­sented by Dr. Ben Sweet revealed that even the “killed’ vac­cine (mar­keted after 1963 and touted as “safe”) con­tained SV40. The for­ma­lin used to kill simian viruses and proven to have done so for the pre­vi­ous 39 simian viruses did not kill SV40, result­ing in con­t­a­m­i­na­tion of the vac­cine admin­is­tered after 1963.
