Prominent scientist admits to 17 counts of fraud in his scientific research, after publishing fraudulent data for grant money

Preface by Cathy Geibel TLB writer/reporter.

I have worked in the medical field for the past 36 years.  And in that time I have watched drugs and medications, medical treatments, medical practices and trends go in and out of vogue.  And what drives these decisions?  Well, studies and statistics of course.  We are programmed to believe studies and science in general.  Science books we were taught from in school are written by scientists and we trust scientists because they are smart and knowledgeable and believe in bettering mankind right?  Well, as a nurse I can tell you every time something “new” and “better” comes along I look with a skeptical eye.  Some I can acknowledge as being good and others I recognize as being just a bunch of poo and ask myself “I wonder who paid for THAT one?” 

You see I figured out early on that statistics can be skewed to reach a desired outcome.  And when you look at a science community funded by big Pharma or corporations such as Monsanto what can we deduce will be the outcome of their studies?  Why “GMO’s are great right”?  Or “There is no nutritional difference between GE foods and non-GMO” right?  Or “There is no correlation between Vaccines and Autism”.  Independent scientists have time after time proven these to be incorrect but they do not have the money backing to get the word out.  And with the media owned by a handful of those who OWN Pharma and Biotech firms they will do everything in their power to keep the truth from coming out.  

But the truth IS coming out!  People are catching on.  We are voting with our dollars for non-GMO, organic foods.  The vaccine fraud has a big bright light shining on it which is why they are in a frenzy to stop the movie VAXXED.  There is an increasing awareness of the carnage happening in our skies on a daily basis in the form of Geoengineering of our weather. We are waking up to the banking industry fraud and their role in political corruption and endless war. 

So my advice is keep up due diligence and continue to speak up.  We ARE being heard! (CG)

There are a lot of liars in the science world. That should be an oxymoron, but it’s not. Science by its definition means a search for truth without regard for one’s personal preference. You know, the hypothesis, the experiments to see if this is so, and then conclusions based on evidence. But in today’s culture lying is preferred above the truth – especially if there is grant money, kickbacks or flat out bribery involved. Perhaps Steven Soderbergh’s  epic flick could be reborn as “Science, Lies and Money.

This is the case with Bruce Murdoch, a neuroscientist who faces 17 fraud related charges about his fake research concerning a “breakthrough treatment” for Parkinson’s disease. Science Alert has the details:

“In a trial at the Brisbane Magistrates Court in Queensland, Australia last week, Murdoch was found guilty of fraudulently receiving a $20,000 grant to fund his bogus research – which he knew had no actual basis in fact.

“He then tried to get away with it by forging content forms from study participants, ‘one of whom was dead at the time the alleged took place,’ Amy Ellis Nutt reports for The Washington Post.

“[Murdoch] co-authored a 2011 paper published in the high-profile, peer-reviewed Journal of Neurology, in which he reported the results of a clinical trial that supposedly put this new Parkinson’s treatment through its paces, with stunning results.

“But Magistrate Tina Privitera, who resided over the case, told the court that there’s no evidence that this clinical trial ever actually happened – Murdoch made it all up.”

Maybe Mr. Murdoch, who had held a research position at the University of Queensland, should try a major in creative writing.

Fraud can come in all shapes, sizes and directions. Bottom up, as in the case of Murdoch. In the instance of the so called research claiming that GMOs are safe, fraud comes from the top and around every corner. In fact, the entire paradigm of GMO safety is based on a pack of non existent tests and bogus non scientific pronouncements made back in 1992 by a corrupted FDA. In a nutshell, they proclaimed GE foods were “substantially equivalent to regular non GE foods.” Does that sound like a solid evidence based claim to you?

Steven Drucker, a lawyer and activist, formed the Alliance for Bio Integrity and sued the FDA to find out the truth. His book, Altered Genes, Twisted Truth, exposes the massive fraud and cover up that few Americans know. Here’s what Jane Goodall, Ph.D. wrote about the book, as reported by the Health Ranger:

“… The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the FDA)… it apparently ignored (and covered up) the concerns of its own scientists and then violated a federal statute and its own regulations by permitting GE foods to be marketed without any testing whatsoever.

The evidence further shows how the [FDA] agency assured consumers that GE foods are just as safe as naturally produced ones — and that their safety has been confirmed by solid scientific evidence — despite the fact it knew that no such evidence existed.”

When French Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini, published peer reviewed research documenting the presence of cancer in rats fed Monsanto (GM)NK 603 corn, the global GMO lobby shouted foul, condemned his research and demanded a retraction from Food and Chemical Toxology. It was retracted. But the truth can’t be stopped. The same study was republished by Environmental Services Europe, and the Seralini group has won defamation and forgery court cases against the liars.

To all budding future scientists! Eat clean non-GMO food and never compromise the truth. Seek it until you find it. We’re counting on you.
