Siberian city declares emergency as dozens die from drinking alcoholic bath tincture

A state of emergency has been declared in the Siberian city of Irkutsk, as at least 48 people were reported dead on Monday from drinking a bath tincture known for its high alcohol content.

The deaths have renewed controversy over the widespread ingestion of “surrogate” alcohol in Russia, including medical ethanol, window cleaner and perfume. Experts estimate that up to 12 million Russians regularly ingest such surrogates.

The deaths in Irkutsk appear to have been caused by a counterfeit batch of Boyaryshnik, a concentrated liquid sold as a relaxant to add to bathwater but widely known as a cheap alcohol substitute. It cost a maximum of 40 roubles (£0.52) per bottle, making it cheaper than even the lowest-cost vodka, and was even put on sale in public vending machines earlier this year.

According to the label, Boyaryshnik contains 93% ethanol, hawthorn extract and lemon oils but tests on the Irkutsk consignment suggested it also contained methanol, an ingredient in antifreeze. Police said they had discovered an underground workshop in the city where bottles of fake Boyaryshnik were being produced, along with counterfeit bottles of well-known vodka brands.

Russia’s investigative committee said it had detained two people on Monday, and seized over two tonnes of the liquid from shops and kiosks around Irkutsk, to ensure no more of the batch reached consumers. Other reports suggested five people had been arrested.

Dmitry Berdnikov, the mayor of Irkutsk, declared a state of emergency in the city on Monday afternoon and also placed a temporary ban on the sale of all liquids containing alcohol not designed for consumption.

The death toll rose steadily throughout the day, with 41 confirmed dead by evening in Irkutsk. A further nine people remained in serious condition in hospital. The local prosecutor’s office said the majority of victims had arrived at hospitals already in a coma.

Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told journalists that the deaths were “a terrible tragedy” and said the Russian president had been informed.

Dmitry Medvedev told a meeting of the cabinet that the deaths were unacceptable. The prime minister said: “We cannot put up with this any longer. We must take all measures either to get this kind of product off the market, or to ensure full control of the way they are sold.”

Medvedev also told the interior minister to ensure people involved in black-market production or sale of such industrial alcohol drinks would face criminal charges, and suggested tightening the law to provide harsher penalties.

Alcoholism remains a major problem in Russia. A survey two years ago showed that a quarter of Russian men died before reaching the age of 55, compared with 7% of men in Britain. The survey found that the average Russian adult drank 20 litres of vodka a year, compared with an average of three litres of spirits a year consumed in Britain.

The ingestion of low-quality surrogate alcohol not meant for human consumption causes even worse health risks. Medical professionals estimate that between 10 and 12 million Russians drink these types of alcohol, including surgical spirit, aftershaves and cleaning fluids, because they cannot afford to buy vodka or other alcoholic drinks. A ministry of health survey in a town close to Moscow earlier this year found that 13% of residents admitted to consuming surrogate alcohol.

“Every year, Boyaryshnik is killing more people than terrorist acts did in the whole history of Russia,” wrote opposition politician Alexei Navalny on Monday. He said people were being pushed into drinking surrogates due to low incomes and said only fighting against poverty could improve the situation.

Oleg Kuznetsov, a Russian toxicology specialist, said deaths from surrogate alcohol ingestion had gone up this year due to the economic crisis. “People are poorer, especially those who drink a lot, but the need for alcohol remains. Before, someone with alcohol dependency would go to the shop and buy the cheapest vodka, now he’ll go and buy something different like window cleaner,” he said.

Sen. Richard Pan Declares California Has the Right to Raise Your Children

 California SB-18

The welfare of others is the same excuse that all tyrants give.  On Dec. 5, 2016, Sen. Richard Pan introduced SB-18, a Children’s Bill of Rights.  SB-18 is the sequel to SB-277, California’s mandatory vaccine law.  Both SB-18 and SB-277 were authored by the notorious Sen. Richard Pan.  If it becomes law, SB-18 will dramatically affect parental rights.

My office now litigates to halt SB-277.  Remarkably, the judge ruled against us based only on unsubstantiated “hearsay” documents from CDC.  These CDC documents were authored by nameless, faceless bureaucrats – who were free from the laws of perjury – and whose dubious scientific theories were never tested under cross-examination.  Nevertheless, the judge blindly accepted these CDC documents along with all the bogus assertions therein.  (Our case is now on appeal; for more info, visit RevoltRevokeRestore.com.)

If it becomes law, SB-18 will allow the state to legally kidnap your children.  Parents will be vulnerable to losing physical and legal custody of their children based on the same fairytale CDC publications that were presented in our SB-277 litigation.  The Healthcare Holocaust that began with SB-277 will continue in earnest under SB-18.

Analysis of SB-18

SB-18 would apply to all California children, including homeschoolers.  SB-18 declares seven childhood rights, below set forth, to be implemented by 2022.

(1) “The right to parents, guardians, or caregivers who act in their best interest.”

To act in a child’s “best interests” refers to parents who vaccinate their children in strict adherence to all CDC vaccination schedules.

(2) “The right to form healthy attachments with adults responsible for their care and well-being.”

The term “healthy attachments with adults” refers to the children’s attachments to CPS case workers – who will be responsible for raising California’s children under SB-218.

(3) “The right to live in a safe and healthy environment.”

The term “safe and healthy environment” refers to households in which all residents are fully vaccinated in accordance with CDC schedules.

(4) “The right to social and emotional well-being.”

The term “emotional well-being” refers to mandatory psychotropic drugs – e.g., Prozac, Ritalin, Zoloft, Zyprexa, Xanax, Abilify, etc. – for all children K through 12.

(5) “The right to opportunities to attain optimal cognitive, physical, and social development.”

The term “cognitive, physical, and social development” refers to autism-related therapies, which will be necessary for the 1-out-of-6 children projected to have autism by 2022.

(6) “The right to appropriate, quality education and life skills leading to self-sufficiency in adulthood.”

The term “appropriate, quality education” refers to Common Core.

(7) “The right to appropriate, quality health care.”

The right to “quality health care” expands the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) by requiring parents to purchase supplemental healthcare coverage for their children.

Legal Advice – Resist Now!

Tell everybody you know – resist medical tyranny now!  Just say “NO” to forcible penetration of your children’s bodies!  If enough people stop vaccinating, then we can crash the system financially.  Hit ‘em in the pocketbook!  Go convert a pro-vaxxer today!  Remember, it’s totally possible to convert pro-vaxxers; by contrast, they never convert us!

If you call yourself a vaccine truth warrior, then take to the streets!  Go stand out in front of CVS or Rite-Aid and hold-up a big cardboard sign that reads “Vaccines Kill Babies!” or “Abolish All Vaccines Now!”  C’mon!—pretend the custody of your children depends on it!!
