Quick anecdote about NaturalNews from a news filtering site I follow in my RSS reader:

It has been brought to our attention that an article we posted this week has some incorrect details which may mislead the reader as to the veracity of the research.

The article, Gardasil Causes 400 Percent More Deaths than Other Common Vaccine, claimed that the research was compiled by the Vaccine Event Reporting System. There is no such organisation.

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is operated jointly by the CDC and FDA, but it had nothing to do with the report, which was compiled by the National Vaccination Information Centre (NVIC), a citizen based anti-vaccination lobby group.
Our aim at OYEN is to furnish our readers with the news that is important to them in the most efficient way we can as volunteers. We are not journalists and we do not have the resources to fact-check every story, which is why we rely on mainstream news sites.

However, this article has highlighted the need for us to review the veracity of each of our sources. To that end we will no longer be using ‘Natural News’ as a source.

Turns out now that investigation from Dr Waterman and Dr Evangelista show that Jane Batormastur was first brought onto the scene by Barbara Minton over on the NaturalNews website. Dr Waterman reports that investigation into NaturalNews shows it is owned and operated by Truth Publishing, a Taipei Taiwan (ROC) company headed by a Mike Adams. They have an office in Tucson AZ, but instead of it being a place where one would expect to find a display of products and publications available on the NaturalNews site, nothing found at the Tucson location indicates to the outside world anything relating to Truth Publishing or NaturalNews at all. Apparently there is no signage on the building to that effect, and that the only signage found at the location is a small one saying “acupuncture”. The investigator who visited casually opened the door and walked into the space, which he reports took everyone inside the space completely by surprise, as if anyone just walking into their space from the outside was just something that never happened. The investigator understood quite clearly this was a front operation of some sort, with working computers strewn about on the floor and on desks, paperwork everywhere, and well-suited FBI-looking guys. Dr Waterman reports the investigator made inquiries as to was this Truth Publishing and the answer from one of the well-suited guys was yes. The investigator saw that in one area there was a small stack of Truth Publishing brochures of some kind and asked if he could take one – the answer was no. He inquired may he speak to the owner, and the reply was that the owner was in Ecuador. The investigator was hastily shown the door.
