The Desperados, Part 3: The Murdering of Magufuli and Bradstreet

by Mary W Maxwell, LLB

This series on “the Desperados” is meant to chronicle the ways in which the top decision-makers – whom I label “the Desperados” – have achieved control over the population, for instance by making governments get disappeared.  It’s my plan to spend equal amounts of ink in the series demonstrating the problems and offering solutions.

According to CNN.com: Sat, March 20, 2021:

“Mourners have lined the streets of Tanzania’s capital Dar es Salaam to pay their last respects to ex-President John Magufuli who died last week. He was the son of a peasant farmer and went on to became Tanzania’s president in 2015. The government announced on Wednesday that Magufuli had died from a heart condition after he had been missing from public for several weeks. His position on coronavirus ranged from stating it did not exist in Tanzania to saying the country had beaten the pandemic through prayer.”

Big Pharma is the largest and wealthiest lobbyist in Washington, DC. As any political-science undergraduate knows (or should know), big lobbyists get their way. (Think weapons manufacturers). How do they get their way? Normally by bribing Congresspersons with money or some other perk, or by intimidating them.

If that does not work, they remove the person from the place where he could speak against the lobbyist’s wishes. That may mean assuring the success of his opponent at the next election, or of giving him a good smearing in the media, or, “if necessary,” making his wife a widow.

Today’s article is about turning wives into widows where the man had spoken out against vaccines.  I “declare” that John Magufuli, president of Tanzania, was killed as a reaction to his criticism of the Covid vaccine. Below, I make bold to establish “Mary’s rules” (that’s me) for deciding when a death is a murder.

Dissident Doctors Often Get Punished

In the course of researching my book on the suppression of cures for cancer (Consider the Liles, 2015), I saw an unusual frequency of doctors being subjected to violence if they committed “the sin” of curing cancer by medical means other than the orthodox Big Three – surgery, chemo, and radiation.

The subtitle of my Consider the Liles book is “A Review of 18 Cures for Cancer and Their Legal Status.” By ‘legal status” I meant whether or not a doctor today can use the treatment without fear of getting de-registered.

Here is a quote from page 232 of that book:

“Our curers and other scientists were made to suffer in many ways. William Koch and Lawrence Burton were effectively exiled from their country (as was Judyth Baker, a witness). The following lost their job: Livingston, Revici, Lincoln, Creighton, Rife, Ivy, Becker, Enby, and Kelley.  Burzynski was arrested; Naessens, William Koch, and W Reich all went to jail. Many were sued, including Rife’s associate, John Crane.

“District attorneys could no doubt identify a charge for each of them. For a moment let’s look at really obvious crimes, ones that citizens understand to be punishable:

1. 1. Deaths that were probably murder: Wilhelm Reich, Max Gerson, Robert Lincoln, Senator Tobey, Georges Lakhovsky. …
   2. Bereavements that look malicious: MJ Scott (of his two siblings), Rife (of his wife), Baker (of her grandmother), Strecker (of his brother). …
   3. Burning down of his home: Wm Kelley.”

Had I only heard of one or two such persons I’d have been circumspect about calling their death a murder, but when a pattern seems obvious, I presume murder. In law, we call something a rebuttable presumption if common sense supports a presumption, yet it would be unfair to convict without proper evidence. We presume guilt but invite the accused to rebut.

Was Magufuli Murdered?

As for the recent death of John Magufuli, it’s impossible for me to know if he was murdered. I haven’t heard of an autopsy being done, or of any call (yet) for a coroner’s inquest. As a private citizen I presume, tentatively anyway, that he was killed.

Magufuli had made open complaints about the Covid restrictions and had discouraged the use of the vaccine. This sets him apart among elected leaders.  In the US we have so far got 49 Covid-compliant governors, with only one, Kristi Noem, the governor of South Dakota objecting to the restrictions. So far, she has not said “Skip the vax, please.”

The likelihood that Magafuli died for the cause, so to speak, is increased by the fact that for a few weeks prior to the announcement of his death, he was reported as missing. Maybe some would-be assassins had him in custody, trying to decide whether to finish him off.

Maybe there was even some disagreement among The Powers That Be as to whether making a martyr of him would be counterproductive. I am ignorant of any such discussion. I bring it up as a way of noting that when there are unusual bits and pieces to the case, we need answers.  Where the hell was President Magfuli in the weeks before he died? Who saw him?

Jeff Bradstreet 

The case of the murder-and-martyrdom of an excellent autism doctor, Jeff Bradstreet, comes to mind. He died in 2015 at age 60. You’d have to be pretty thick not to presume he was murdered.  The death took place on the day after his office was raided by the FDA, and in a season when Jeff was hot on the trail of a cure for autism. And he believed in stem cells!

I reported his death at Gumshoe and got the following Comment from “Sheik Yerbouti” (a pun on Shake your booty – I PRESUME):

“You make a lot of statements you can’t prove. Obviously no one can– they never offer evidence– just their “feelings.” … You people have to work a new word into your vocabulary: Probably. Nothing you say about Dr Jeff is really credible, just conjecture.”

Actually, the Bradstreet murder is not mere conjecture, given that he had a bullet wound in him and yet was found drowned in a river. (Recall the alleged suicide of drugs-whistleblower Gary Webb – he had two bullets in the head! Clearly he could not have shot himself twice, as the first shot would have incapacitated him.)

Methinks MSM Doth Protest Too Much

It is too early for media to produce a full whitewash of the passing of John Magufuli.  But tin 2015 the Washington Post stepped right up to the plate to “justify” Dr Bradstreet’s “suicide.” Or so I claim, given that the headline was “The mysterious death of a doctor who peddled autism ‘cures’ to thousands.”

Let’s stop right there. The author of the article, Michael Miller, cannot be expected to know if such-and-such a treatment for autism has the power to cure. But by putting the word “cures” in sarcastic quotes, Miller indicates that he does know that autism can’t be cured! And by using the denigrating word “peddles,” Miller presents a bad picture of Bradstreet. (Would you want to trust a doctor who peddles something?)

I will now abridge the offending article, bolding what I consider to be telling.  Telling of what?  Of bad faith by WaPo. It is a major newspaper that the public should expect to rely on for accuracy:

“James Jeffrey Bradstreet was one of the world’s most famous — or infamous — physicians. He believed vaccines caused autism. He even testified so before Congress. Twice. But he didn’t just rail against Big Pharma. He also tried to beat it.

“When Bradstreet’s body was found last month in the Rocky Broad River in mountainous North Carolina with a bullet wound to the chest, therefore, friends, family members and patients pointed fingers at drug corporations. The FDA. Anyone but Bradstreet.

“‘He did not kill himself!’ one patient’s parent wrote online. [I say that, too]. Although the local sheriff said it was suicide, Bradstreet’s relatives quickly raised $33,000 online for “an exhaustive investigation into the possibility of foul play.”

“Since his death, however, the conspiracy theories have begun to crumble [not in the least] as evidence has emerged linking Bradstreet to a shadowy online industry in unapproved medicine. [Let me tell you, it’s the approved kind we need to worry about].

“Bradstreet’s Internet postings tie him to an unlicensed medical factory that was recently shut down for producing potentially contaminated vials of a supposed wonder “cure” called GcMAF. [Surely it wasn’t closed because of “contamination.”]

“The day before his death, Bradstreet’s own clinic was raided by federal and state authorities searching for the same untested and unapproved “cure.”  As this international medical gray market began to unravel, so, too, did Bradstreet’s life. [Absolutely not true, per his colleagues and family.  Why does Miller have this knowledge?]

“The controversial doctor’s questionable treatments had finally caught up with him. Bradstreet was both beloved and belittled. [Within the autism community he was never “belittled.” Again, this is WaPo offering its own opinion.]

To his patients, he was a savior willing to try out treatments few others would touch. But to critics — including other doctors and autism advocates — he was a crackpot whose supposed cures could be more dangerous than the disorders themselves.

Despite scientific consensus [i.e., kowtowing, in fear] to the contrary, Bradstreet believed vaccines could cause autism. And he recommended unorthodox and often unapproved autism treatments including hyperbaric oxygen chambers; hormone injections; stem cell therapy and chelation…

But perhaps Bradstreet’s most controversial treatment was something called Globulin component Macrophage [yay!] Activating Factor, or GcMAF. A protein that naturally occurs in healthy human blood, GcMAF can be removed, concentrated and injected into a sick patient.

During the past decade, a handful of doctors have claimed that GcMAF can cure anything from cancer to autism by boosting the human immune system. [So? Let’s see.]

“It’s extremely potent in terms of its ability to work for children,” he announced. “Many from this [experiment] have gone on to basically lose the label of autism. They don’t have autistic distinctions any more after sometimes as little as 20 weeks of therapy.”

“It was an incredible claim: a cure for one of the world’s most vexing disorders after just five months of injections. [Note to author Miller: There are well-established ways to find out if Bradstreet’s claim is true.]

“During his speech, Bradstreet cited doctors studying GcMAF in Japan and Italy. He said that a paper on his experiment was being peer reviewed. And he name-dropped David Noakes, the head of Immuno Biotech, a company manufacturing GcMAF.

“He also announced a 25 percent discount on GcMAF for those in attendance. [I faint!]  What he did not disclose, however, was that Bradstreet had close ties to Noakes and Immuno Biotech. [Gotcha Bradstreet, Gates, Fauci, etc.]

“The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is clear: GcMAF is not a recognized treatment for autism. [That’s practically a recommendation for it, right there – IMHO, of course.]

“Many commenters credited Bradstreet and his First Immune GcMAF injections with perceived improvements in their kids’ health.   “I was crying tears of joy last night as we put him to bed because he was talking more than ever before,” one wrote.

“Oooh! Autism schmautism!!!” a Bradstreet customer in South Africa victoriously announced after supposedly seeing their child’s symptoms melt away. [I give Miller full credit for mentioning that.]

Now I’ll skip over he further discussion of the merit of Bradstreet’s work and go to the section where Miller wants us to think Jeff was a fugitive from justice when he died, or was so ego-broken from FDA’s raid that he had to kill himself.  Please note the illogic of both those approaches.

“Five deaths, three raids and a suicide” [WaPo’s Heading]

“Fiona O’Leary is a far cry from a fearsome detective. She is a thin, pale Irish woman with dyed crimson hair and Asperger’s. But she also has two sons with autism (in Guernsey, UK).

O’Leary began investigating Bradstreet, Noakes, Immuno Biotech and their GcMAF solution, in 2014. Her complaints led regulators to raise concerns in December with the Medicine and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, the United Kingdom’s version of the FDA.

In early February of this year, it launched a raid of the First Immune GcMAF production facility. But where Bradstreet had seen a “sterile” and “state of the art” laboratory, the British government saw a nightmare. [Mr Miller, ahem, does the document say it was not sterile?]

“The production site does not meet Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards and there are concerns over the sterility of the medicine being produced and the equipment being used,” MHRA said in a statement. “There are concerns that the product may be contaminated.” [Ah, “may be”]

“But the GcMAF saga didn’t end there. O’Leary was hounding American officials as well. … Four months after First Immune was shut down, the feds came knocking on Bradstreet’s Buford, Ga., clinic. [Fascinating – the FDA was responding to a mere citizen?]

The raid took place on June 18, the day before Bradstreet died, Noakes told The Post in a phone interview. Agents from the FDA and the Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency confiscated vials of GcMAF, medical records, lists of clients [oh-oh], computers and financial records, according to the search warrant.

Had he been indicted, Bradstreet would have faced up to 20 years in prison, according to Forbes, which first obtained the search warrant.  The doctor left town. He packed his suitcases and drove three hours northeast across state lines to North Carolina.

“But as he checked into a hotel near Lake Lure, N.C., the next day, more bad news was breaking for Bradstreet. In Switzerland, three newspapers reported that very morning that a First Immune clinic run by Noakes had been shut down. Five patients being treated with GcMAF had died, the papers reported. [Quel coincidence of timing!]

“Private clinic under criminal investigation after five deaths,” ran the headline in newspaper 24 Heures…. In addition, GcMAF is not allowed in Switzerland.” (It’s still unclear if the deaths had anything to do with GcMAF or if the injections simply failed to help terminal patients.)

[Wow, Miller.  Why do you say that in parentheses? The deaths are your main “baddy” story, no?]

“It’s impossible to know how the bad news affected Bradstreet. [I imagine Jeff said “Oh shite, they are coming to get me.”]

“Bradstreet’s body was found by a fisherman that afternoon. The gun that was used to kill him was found nearby in the water, according to authorities. The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office wasted no time in ruling the death a suicide.

“The forensics and circumstantial evidence both suggest suicide. After all: The feds were onto him. His GcMAF supplier had been shut down. The wonder “cure” had been linked to five deaths in lurid headlines. [Yep. Those maybe deaths.]

“But Bradstreet’s friends, family and patients have refused to believe the doctor killed himself. None is more skeptical that David Noakes. “Before he was killed, he was recovering 60 percent of autistic children using GcMAF,” Noakes said of Bradstreet. “That is the highest recovery rate in autism in the world by far.” [Jayz!]

“As to the patients who died at the University Hospital in Bussigny, Noakes said that the media had buried the real story: the clinic’s success.  “We had 76 terminal stage four cancer patients,” he said. “We saved 70 percent of them. They went home improving. [See my book Consider the Liles, this is what happens when a cure works, since 1890.]

“So I don’t think it’s us you need to be pointing fingers at,” he concluded. “It’s utterly corrupt regulators you need to be pointing at.” [But that line of investigation would never interest “the Paper.”]

Sad, sad, sad journalism.  Or brilliant journalism, depending on what you’re trying to accomplish….

Long live Dr Jeff Bradstreet.   Long live good doctors!

Long live President John Magufuli.  Long live good African leaders!
