I am writing to tell you about my grandson, Rico, who has been taken from us and is presently a patient at St. Mary’s Hospital. Because our 22 year old daughter was unable to feed him, they hooked him up to a nasal tube, and later did two surgeries to install a gastric tube.… Read the rest

51 days after a newborn baby was taken away by Mower County officials, he was back in his parents’ arms Friday.
But for how long?

He was removed from his Brownsdale home, southwest of Rochester, because doctors feared his mother and father wanted to discontinue his HIV medications.

A MUST READ from Celia Farber
“I have covered the HIV wars, in gory detail, and with increasing shock, since Peter Duesberg’s first critique appeared in the literature in 1987, in Cancer Research, arguing against “retroviruses” as causes of cancer and or pathogens capable of causing “AIDS.” You know, this “war,” it always has a precise location at a given time, a portal – a human being or family, through whom it beats its message of ultra violence, its domination, its will to prevail…”

Lindsey Nagel and newborn son, Rico
I am getting sicker by the minute, after reading a story of horrific abuse of power by the medical establishment that broke early this morning.
Tragedy has stricken a newborn infant, being held in the hospital affiliated with the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minnesota. A court ordered that Rico Martinez Nagel be removed from his mother’s breast by a Sheriff, and he is now being force fed and given several drugs, including the notoriously toxic AZT (aka zidovudine), despite being apparently healthy in every respect, other than a positive HIV-antibody test result.… Read the rest
