Kent Heckenlively, JD, Author, Plague of Corruption
Kent Heckenlively, JD, is a former attorney, a founding editor of Age of Autism, and a science teacher. During college Heckenlively worked for US Senator Pete Wilson, and in law school he was a writer and an editor of the school’s law review and spent his summers working for the US Attorney’s Office in San Francisco. Kent and his wife Linda live in Northern California with their two children, Jacqueline and Ben.
Judy Mikovits, PhD, spent twenty years at the National Cancer Institute, working with Dr. Frank Ruscetti, one of the founding fathers of human retrovirology, and has coauthored more than forty scientific papers. She co-founded and directed the first neuroimmune disease institute using a systems biology approach in 2006. Dr. Mikovits lives in Southern California with her husband, David.
We have a very ill population. Autoimmune diseases and cancer, heart disease and diabetes - and everyone pretends not to know what is causing this. And yet, we INTENTIONALLY perturb the immune system of every man, woman, and child in this country from cradle to grave. Over and over again. We inject material that is toxic. Knowingly toxic ingredients. And then when we connect those dots we are met with extreme denial. Denial without any evidence provided. It is hard to believe we have allowed it this long. Sure, we know mercury and aluminum are heavy metals that are not healthy for the body - but our scientists assure us that they are not dangerous. But more important than even the heavy metals are the contaminants that got in there from growing viruses in animals and picking up other things not intended and not purified out. How can you purify something you don't even know is there? This is how we got SV40 - a monkey kidney viruses that causes cancer and went out in the polio vaccine. This is how we got XMRV - a retrovirus implicated in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome that came from passing virus through mouse brains and contaminated cell cultures. What else is hiding in those lab created cell cultures intended for injection into humans?
We are all suffering now from the mistakes made from our "scientists" in the past who rushed into production on pharmaceuticals for public consumption without the proper safety measures. They fail to present us with sufficient evidence that these materials are fully safe and effective. They demonize anyone who inquires about it, and bury the evidence of harm that they do find. This is the definition of corruption.
This book gives you a glimpse into the world of the institutions and characters who have been involved in making public policy. How financial and political interests are more important that the truth about what scientists like Dr Mikovits are finding. I am not as hopeful as Kent & Judy that the "faith in science" can be restored. Because the perpetrators will never come forward and admit what they did. They hold entrenched positions in government agencies and would rather burn the evidence than admit that they poisoned the human population and withheld from us out of hubris, corruption, and greed.
I am so grateful to Robert F Kennedy Jr for taking up the topic, writing the Forward, and not being intimidated by the opposition. And to Kent and Judy for their collaboration that makes this difficult topic so easy to understand. There is a lot of scientific language but the writing makes it very accessible to the reader. Science is just a matter of terms and processes that anyone can learn. Never let someone tell you that the "science" is too complex for the average person. We get it.
