Witness intimidation accusation mires misconduct hearing for Ottawa cop (Helen Grus)

who probed child deaths. By Jason Unrau, True North.

Perjury, witness intimidation and obstruction of justice are among allegations the defence team for detective Helen Grus levelled at senior Ottawa Police Service personnel during week three of her disciplinary hearing, which adjourned on Thursday afternoon in Stittsville, Ont. but could stretch well into the year.

“Provided there’s not a mistrial for intimidation of a witness,” remarked Grus’ co-counsel Blair Ector, who had just filed a criminal incident report with Ottawa police against a senior Professional Standards Unit inspector for alleged witness intimidation.

Just as Grus was to testify in her own defence Wednesday afternoon, Ector announced to the tribunal that his client had received a suspect communication earlier in the day.

“It’s come to my attention today that Inspector Hugh O’Toole sent an email to my client stating that she cannot rely on any (Ottawa Police Service) documents,” said Ector, noting O’Toole had a law degree.

“That is witness tampering. That is intimidation. That is obstruction. This tribunal should be outraged. I am outraged.”

Exasperated that tribunal officer Chris Renwick denied his attempts to speak about O’Toole’s offending email, table it as evidence or even allow a brief statement on the matter, Ector, co-counsel Bath-Sheba van den Berg, and Grus stood together and faced Renwick.

“I am a witness of a crime and I’m filing a police report right now,” said Ector before the trio turned and exited the hearing room, conveniently located at the Ottawa police’s Huntmar Dr. detachment.

Grus stands accused of discreditable conduct, which hinges on alleged Ottawa Police Service policy violations she committed in her probe of a possible link between COVID shots and sudden infant deaths in the region.

Related activities have been described by prosecutors as an “unsanctioned…quality control project,” including allegations that she interfered in ongoing investigations by seeking the COVID vaccination status of the related mothers.

Throughout 14 hearing days to date, Renwick has ruled more often in favour of Stewart and the Ottawa police, in so doing suppressing seemingly key pieces of evidence like related autopsy reports and a notebook containing Grus’ last entry before she was suspended in February 2022 – items her lawyers argue could prove exculpatory.

This pattern of denying evidentiary disclosure reached new levels this week as Stewart insisted that Grus cannot use generic Ottawa police policy documents and job descriptions for her defence without express permission. In the coming weeks, Renwick must decide whether Grus can access such documents; he must also rule on a separate defence motion to have Stewart removed from the case for alleged prosecutorial misconduct.

Buckling under the weight of these legal maneuvers, at points Renwick admitted that he was overwhelmed by adjudicating this administrative law matter now rife with constitutional implications. Renwick also lost his cool when the defence accused a police witness of committing perjury during his testimony, and ordered Grus’ lawyers to refrain from such accusations.

On Tuesday, Renwick threw in the towel on proceedings 30 minutes early stating he had to “end it here for today…I’m suffering from fatigue and I’m challenged in giving direction in running this hearing.”

Remarks like these from Renwick prompted van den Berg to remind the retired police superintendent that he had the opportunity to hire independent legal counsel to assist in managing the tribunal, but declined.

“I have a vast amount of experience in policing, but I’m not a lawyer. You as trained counsel have much more experience in these matters,” Renwick explained to participants during one legal impasse. “I feel like more of a referee function.”

Prior to the tribunal’s resumption on Monday Jan. 8, Renwick ruled in Nov. 2023 to deny all of Grus’ proposed expert witnesses, including three medical doctors whose statements indicate Grus’ concern about vaccines billed as safe and effective by public health officials was reasonable.

Family physician Gregory Chan noted in a questionnaire provided by the defence that COVID vaccines were not sufficiently tested, that a patient of his suffered a “chronological” stillbirth two months after receiving a COVID shot and the overall “lack of safety information generates questions/concerns.”

Pediatric neurology specialist Dr. Eric Payne’s expert statement also notes the dearth of safety data, particularly for pregnant women and babies.

“Pregnant women and babies less than six months of age have been excluded from all of the clinical trials. We also know that the spike protein product of these genetic vaccines can circulate widely throughout one’s body, including the reproductive organs, brain and heart (and)… has been found to distribute through breastmilk,” he wrote. He also indicated Grus was “astute” in her questioning and that there was “solid scientific and medical support for her inquiries.”

Though Renwick also denied retired Ottawa police Staff Sgt. Major Peter Danyluk the opportunity to appear as an expert witness for the defence, in a rare victory for Grus, Renwick allowed Danyluk to appear as a lay witness. He testified this week.

Danyluk, a retired member of both the Canadian Armed Forces and more recently the Ottawa Police Service, testified that he co-wrote the force’s ethics manual and in his expert statement indicated that he did not agree with the charge against detective Grus. He also testified that Grus had told him about her vaccine inquiries. He described her actions as “fact-finding” in nature and didn’t see anything amiss.

“She wasn’t asking my permission, she was just bouncing ideas off me like ‘I’ve seen the statistical anomaly.’ I think she said it was double the amount of SIDS (year-over-year 2020-21),” recalled Danyluk of their conversation.

“It’s so basic, it didn’t raise any red flags for me.”

In other testimony, Danyluk described Grus as “rational” and “articulate” and said that others who spoke about the detective, then part of the sex assault and child abuse unit, “had nothing but extraordinary things to say about her, her work ethic, her integrity, her honour.”

Before Renwick adjourned proceedings on Thursday afternoon, he agreed with Stewart’s motion to impose 14-day timelines for introducing new motions to the tribunal as well as a seven-day period for lawyers to respond.

Van den Berg described these new rules, introduced late in the proceedings, as financially onerous for Grus and would likely delay the disciplinary tribunal even further. It’s been almost 18 months since Grus was charged with discreditable conduct. While she was originally suspended with pay, the Ottawa Police Service has since brought her back as a detective in the robbery unit.

If Grus is found guilty, she could face demotion or termination.

The truth routes around censorship

1. The backstory

As many of you know, from 2019 to 2021, Mark Blaxill, Cynthia Nevison, and I built the best societal cost of autism model ever developed. Previous societal cost of autism models assumed constant prevalence. But the one thing we know about autism is that the rates are increasing over time. So with Mark’s best-in-class prevalence history and Cynthia’s computer programming genius we built a model showing how much autism will likely cost the United States over the next 40 years. Titled, “Autism Tsunami: The Impact of Rising Prevalence on the Societal Cost of Autism in the United States” our manuscript sailed through peer review. It quickly became one of the most downloaded articles on the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders (JADD) website.

Then (apparently) the Simons Foundation freaked out. Since 2003, the Simons Foundation has spent hundreds of millions of dollars searching for “the gene for autism.” They are the second largest funder of autism research in the U.S. (after the NIH) and they have almost nothing to show for their efforts because there is no “gene for autism” — autism is caused by environmental factors (mostly vaccines).

The sharply rising autism prevalence that we documented in our study suggests that:

1.) the search for “the gene for autism” was a total boondoggle; and

2.) the soaring cost of autism will cause the political and economic collapse of the United States in our lifetime (so we should probably do something to stop children from being poisoned in the first place).

Apparently this was embarrassing to the Simons Foundation because it falsified their approach to autism. The Simons Foundation has largely captured the field of autism research and they have hundreds of academics who are dependent on their largesse. Rather than change direction based on new information the Simons Foundation doubled down on their wrongheaded strategy and they put the word out that ‘this article needs to get got.’ Some well-placed hit pieces soon followed from defenders of the status quo.

The Editor-in-Chief of JADD, Fred Volkmar, dutifully organized a witch trial. We brought on the best lawyers in the country, Siri Glimstad LLP, to defend us. Late one night in preparing a letter to send to JADD, I discovered that Fred Volkmar took millions of dollars from the Simons Foundation over the years. At a minimum I thought he would have to recuse himself. It underscored the whole point we were making — JADD’s attack on us was in service of a wealthy benefactor and contrary to scientific best practices.

But the facts did not matter at all to JADD, their attorneys at Springer/Nature, nor the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) that we later appealed to. JADD and COPE were riddled with financial conflicts of interest (see explanation here) but the conflicted parties carried on regardless. There were never any independent findings of fact — JADD just made up accusations whole cloth, ignored our responses, and that was that. JADD had some witches that needed burning (us!) on behalf of the people who have been wrong for decades (the Simons Foundation and really the entire academic autism industry) and they were not going to let the facts get in their way.

We battled them for two years but the fix was in from the beginning. So over the summer they disappeared our article and attached a digital scarlet letter for eternity, “RETRACTED!” The next day the Simons Foundation put out a hit piece on us just for good measure with an image of a trash can and the caption, “Case closed.” It was all so cartoonish and over the top — these are not serious scholars.

1. A new day

Thankfully, that’s not the end of the story. The truth always routes around censorship. Last week our article was republished in Science, Public Health Policy, and the Law. It went through independent peer review once again and we added two new paragraphs so this version is even better than what was published in JADD.

Founded in 2019, Science, Public Health Policy, and the Law has quickly become one of the best journals in the country because they publish without fear or favor and follow the data wherever it leads. It’s one of the last scientific journals that still does actual science. It’s the journal we should have published with in the first place.

You can download “Autism Tsunami” (here).

The facts remain: autism prevalence has been increasing for fifty years, the costs of autism are astronomical and growing (soon to hit a trillion dollars a year in the U.S.), and the U.S. will collapse in our lifetime if we don’t stop the mass poisoning of our children.

III. The Simons Foundation’s strange retreat from the autism conversation

In writing this article I went over to Spectrum News (the wholly-owned blog of the Simons Foundation that put out the hit pieces on us) and discovered this notice:

Wait, what!? Spectrum News is no more and now it’s just a column within the Transmitter, a generic neuroscience blog.

Then I went over the website of the Simons Foundation. And they are in the midst of a massive rebranding.

The President is an astrophysicist — so clearly, autism is not their top priority.

Okay but what about the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI)?

Well, it’s still funded (to the tune of millions of dollars) but they are in the midst of a six-month “strategic planning process.” They no longer announce that they are searching for ‘the gene(s) for autism.’ Instead their mission consists of generalities:

SFARI’s mission is to improve the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders by funding innovative research of the highest quality and relevance.

I imagine some of this is a function of having more money than they know what to do with. Of course rebranding and periodic reassessment of mission are essential in any large organization. But it’s still wild to watch the largest private funder of autism research flounder like this after twenty years of futility.

I cannot help but reflect on the tragedy of it all. Just imagine how different the world would be today if Bernard Rimland, Sallie Bernard, Mark Blaxill, or Lyn Redwood had been invited to those initial planning meetings for the Simons Foundation in 2003. Putting $200 million into political efforts to stop regulatory capture would have stopped the autism epidemic whereas the search for the “autism gene” allowed the epidemic to continue to surge.

It’s beyond infuriating that even as the Simons Foundation retreats from the front lines of the autism conversation they also went to great lengths to try to prevent anyone else (us!) from explaining how to stop the autism epidemic.

1. Lessons learned

I want to take a moment to share my “lessons learned” from this process. It’s obviously painful to be publicly lynched by a bunch of grifter clowns for two years. But I think we learned some really important things about the current state of the autism epidemic as a result of this long ordeal:

1. Retraction has been weaponized. It’s now just a tool for powerful interests to censor evidence they don’t like. During my Ph.D. I read and liked, Ending Medical Reversal: Improving Outcomes, Saving Lives by Vinayak Prasad and Adam Cifu. They make the case that not nearly enough papers are retracted. I imagine that’s true. But it is also true that retraction has been weaponized to serve powerful interests and far too many good papers that challenge the status quo are retracted to serve the interests of powerful corporations and benefactors.
2. Censorship is a confession of guilt. There was a time, not too long ago, when the mainstream crowd was certain that they could win a debate about vaccines and autism. But that’s over now. They don’t have any RCTs. They refuse to have any discussion about the evidence. All they have left is censorship. Their position is untenable.
3. The other side is unable to have a conversation about the cost of autism. This is stunning. There are eight good societal cost of autism studies that built the foundation for our study. But once we accurately modeled the rising wave of costs (as the prevalence continues to increase) the causes and the urgent need to stop the poisoning of our kids becomes crystal clear. So the gatekeepers threw the chessboard across the room and announced that we cannot have a conversation about the costs of autism ever again. Thankfully Science, Public Health Policy, and the Law rectified this unjust situation.
4. Ignoring, suppressing, and denying evidence about rising autism prevalence and cost consigns the growing autism population to a life of misery and early death. If we cannot have a conversation about the cost of autism then government will never provide the necessary revenue and facilities to make sure that adults with autism have a place to live after their parents die. That’s what’s at stake. That’s why we wrote the article (to get government to step up now to provide more support for the growing wave of adults on the spectrum). If our society refuses to plan for what’s ahead, hospitals, homeless shelters, and the streets will be where millions of autistic adults live and die. Increasingly this will be the story in every town across America:

This is what 50 years of academics lying about autism in order to enrich themselves has done to this country.

Our study is an important first step in finally telling the truth about the full scope of the autism epidemic. Congress should immediately convene hearings on the rising prevalence and cost of autism in the U.S.

5. It’s not just Pharma that wants to cover up the autism epidemic — the trillion dollar a year Autism Industry wants to cover up what is happening as well. In my Ph.D. (2014-2019) I showed that the autism epidemic stems from the political economy problem of regulatory capture (that’s Pharma). But what I learned from fighting to get the truth out about the cost of the autism epidemic is that the trillion dollar a year AUTISM INDUSTRY does not want anyone to know why autism rates keep increasing either (they want to keep that gravy train rolling). It was the geneticists (the Simons Foundation) who called for our heads and Fred Volkmar then enlisted the help of handpicked Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) supporters to attack our paper.
6. It seems clear to me that Fred Volkmar and many of the so-called academic autism experts are committing research fraud. The federal government funds genetics research as a make-work program to keep scientists from studying the harms of toxicants. Jim Simons funds genetics research to cover up the guilt that he may have harmed his own child with vaccines. In the 1970s, perhaps it was reasonable to think that autism might be genetic — yet even then, people who actually worked with children on the spectrum, including Bernard Rimland, knew autism was caused by environmental factors.

By 2003, it was already clear that autism is NOT primarily a genetic condition (see my earlier discussion in Section IV: here). With the publication of Hallmayer et al. (2011), the genetic theory of autism causation was largely over (see my discussion of that study in my thesis). So anyone who has taken money from the NIH and the Simons Foundation over the last decade to search for something they will never find is arguably committing research fraud; these academics are defrauding the taxpayers, defrauding the universities where they work, and defrauding people on the spectrum who are hurt by this spectacular waste of valuable resources.

Here’s a photo of Fred Volkmar giving a presentation to the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Autism Meeting in 2019:

Zoom in on the slide. He wrote:

First twin study (1978) suggested strong genetics.

Subsequent studies have confirmed

Autism is a complex genetic disorder…

The first sentence is true and the next two sentences are lies. Fred Volkmar is lying to everyone in this room because it is profitable to do so. That’s the definition of fraud.

All of the evidence suggests that autism is caused by toxicants and those who deny this are engaged in a criminal cover up.

7. Because they have committed crimes against humanity, the current gatekeepers will never change their ways. So it’s on us to replace the current system with something better. Mainstream allopathic medicine; the NIH, FDA, and CDC; and the Autism Industry can only produce poison, disability, death, and ruin. There is no point in engaging with them anymore. We have to build our own, better, knowledge production system, medical system, political system, and economic system. Above all else we must keep toxic chemicals out of people’s bodies. Lots of these efforts have begun already. If we can elect Robert Kennedy, Jr. or Ron DeSantis as President, this process will accelerate. But as our systems thrive while the current system collapses, the mainstream will launch wave after wave of attacks on us, so we have to be ready to prevail in those confrontations as well.

Petition	Keywords	Type	Status	Member of Parliament	Signatures
e-4701 Democratic process	Confidence in government		Waiting for certification December 24, 2023	Michelle Ferreri	386,698

 

By Adam Soos,  and with thanks to Rebel News.

The petition, which is set to close for signatures on December 24, just one day before Christmas and Justin Trudeau’s birthday, has shattered the record for signatures on a thirty-day House of Commons e-petition, reaching over 360,000 signees to date.

 

https://www.rebelnews.com/meet_the_woman_behind_the_petition_calling_for_the_end_of_the_trudeau_government?utm_campaign=as_petitiontrudeau_122223&utm_medium=email&utm_source=therebel

 

Michelle Ferreri is the member of Parliament (MP) for Peterborough—Kawartha and Shadow Minister of Families, Children and Social Development.

She has signed her name to an official House of Commons e-petition, titled e-4701, which calls for a vote of non-confidence in the Liberal/NDP coalition government and for an election to be called within 45 days should the petition vote of no confidence pass.

She sent us an official statement, which she also posted on social media, giving the following reasons for supporting the petition:

“A relationship is built on trust. Trust is built on actions not words.

Each time someone, especially a leader doesn’t do what they say or even worse, gaslights his followers he destroys the trust.

Canadians have waited 8 years for action and what they’ve been handed is suffering.

The facts speak for themselves: Justin Trudeau has delivered record high food bank usage, homelessness, skyrocketing housing prices, an opioid and mental health crisis, a violent rise in crime and multiple ethics violations.

Misery is a powerful motivator and clearly this petition is elevating the voices of Canadians who are sick of the Trudeau imposed misery and want a leader and a government they can trust.”

The petition, which is set to close for signatures on December 24, just one day before Christmas and Justin Trudeau’s birthday, has shattered the record for signatures on a thirty-day House of Commons e-petition, reaching over 360,000 signees to date.

While MP Michelle Ferreri was unable to join us for an interview, I did speak with her and she was, despite her involvement in the petition, adamant that credit go to the person who conceived of it in the first place. The woman responsible for the record breaking petition is Melissa Outwater, a constituent of Michelle Ferreri’s who had seen enough of Trudeau’s destructive governance and wanted to do something about it.

We were fortunate to be joined by Melissa who shared about the specific concerns that prompted her to start the petition, including the housing and affordability crises caused by the Liberal/NDP coalition, and how meaningful it was to have an elected representative who was responsive and supportive of her democratic efforts. She also shared about the timing of the e-petition and how it was indeed intended as an early and certainly unwelcome gift for Trudeau’s birthday.

Outwater shared that the petition is not binding, but with enough signatures she hopes the pressure results in enough NDP and Liberal representatives coming to their senses and realizing that a vote of no confidence is needed. With the house set to resume business in late January, we won’t know what impact the petition will have until then, but clearly the more signatures, the greater the onus on Ottawa to do the right thing. If you want to sign the e-petition you can do so by clicking here.
