CDC investigation points to corporate sabotage as cause of Chipotle E. coli incident
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
So the CDC has concluded its investigation of Chipotle, a restaurant that, of course, everybody was freaking out about because there were some E. coli cases in a couple of the restaurants.
And the CDC concluded its investigation, and according to the New York Times, quote, investigators were unable to specify the food or ingredient responsible for the contamination, end quote.
Hmm.
I find that interesting because I'm the guy who publicly said that Chipotle was a victim of corporate sabotage, bioterrorism.
That biotech industry operatives targeted Chipotle precisely because Chipotle announced a non-GMO menu.
And we've seen the biotech industry and its malicious, insidious operators who we've exposed over and over again.
And we've seen how they have really viciously, maliciously attacked activists, clean food activists, organic food companies, and companies like Chipotle that announce non-GMO menus.
They even attacked Dr. Oz, by the way.
This is the same group that attacked Dr. Oz and tried to get him off the air because he supported GMO labeling.
You know, oh my God, how horrible that consumers would be able to know what they're eating.
What a horrible idea.
That's what the biotech industry wants you to believe in.
And some of these industry front groups are run by actual felons with a felony record.
That's like the American Council on Science and Health, a fake front group run by a criminal.
I mean, seriously, look it up.
Just go to truthwiki.org and look up the ACSH or look up the Monsanto Mafia.
Go to monsantomafia.com.
That'll give you some info.
Anyway, so at the time that I wrote that story, of course, the mainstream media ridiculed it, predictably, because they don't believe in any conspiracies except a conspiracy of Oregon ranchers.
Oh yeah, when a bunch of ranchers take over a federal building in Oregon, that's a conspiracy, and all those people are conspirators, and they have to be charged with conspiracy crimes by the FBI. But there are no other conspiracies ever.
Nope.
Uh-uh.
There are no conspiracies in Wall Street.
The game isn't rigged.
Nobody's conspiring against you.
Corporations never engage in sabotage.
There are no corporate spies.
There's no stealing of secrets.
There are no conspiracies in the world except the gun-toting ranchers.
This is what the mainstream media wants you to believe.
And, of course, you have to be a complete idiot to believe really anything that the mainstream media tells you.
So, the media said, well, this isn't a conspiracy.
This is just sloppy food handling.
Okay, well, then why couldn't the CDC find the source of the E. coli?
So the CDC spent the last couple of months or so testing all the food materials, testing all the source farms, the material providers, testing each one.
And what they were hoping to find was something like, aha, it's the cilantro.
Right?
You've seen this before.
A few years back, I think there was E. coli in cilantro and onions or something being served by some other restaurant chain.
And they nailed it down to the actual ingredient that was contaminated.
But not with Chipotle.
They couldn't find it.
Even after all the investigation of the CDC and all the laboratory testing of the microbiology of the raw materials, and I'm very familiar with this process because I do it myself.
We do microbiology testing for E. coli, salmonella, total plate count, and other...
Other bacteriological investigations for food safety.
We do it because we're a GMP-compliant superfood manufacturer, certified organic, inspected by the FDA, good manufacturing practices compliant.
So I'm very, very familiar with this food safety process.
I myself am a certified food safety handler.
I'm a lab science director of a forensic food laboratory.
So I know what I'm talking about when it comes to Food safety.
And I can tell you that when the CDC does this kind of investigation and they can't find the source, it's because it wasn't coming from a source.
The E. coli was being sprayed onto the foods at the Chipotle restaurants by biotech industry sabotage artists.
All right?
That is my contention.
And now what's interesting is that the CDC's own conclusion from this, their closing of the investigation, supports my theory, supports my contention.
Now, if the CDC had come out and had identified, oh, it's the onions from Johnny's farm in Idaho or whatever, then that would have, in essence, proven my theory wrong, right?
Because then you could say, well, aha, aha, the CDC found the source.
It wasn't bioterrorism.
It wasn't corporate sabotage.
It was Johnny's onion farm.
Or whatever they found.
But that didn't happen.
The CDC concluded its investigation and didn't find the source.
And that's because the source was a biotech industry operative.
See, I don't know why people have such a hard time believing that there is corporate sabotage.
There's corporate sabotage all the time.
At the highest levels of corporations, you know, Microsoft stealing technology from Apple, and Apple stealing employees from Microsoft or Google.
Google colludes and conspires all the time to game their search engine, to work with an evil communist regime in China, or not, depending on the year, depending on the technology or the company.
I mean, all these companies, Yahoo and Microsoft and Facebook, they all built in backdoors for the NSA. That all came out from Edward Snowden.
Is that not a conspiracy against their users?
Of course it is.
Conspiracies are the default method of business today at the large corporate level.
You think companies in Wall Street don't have teams of people sitting around conspiring?
How are we going to take over this rival company?
Or how are we going to destroy their credibility?
Or how are we going to do a financial takeover of their voting shares?
Of course they do!
Come on, wake up, people.
Conspiracies happen everywhere, all the time.
I mean, hey, recently, you know, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton were running against each other in the Iowa caucuses, right?
Remember this?
And six of the districts in Iowa had a tie between Clinton and Sanders, and so in all six districts, they flipped a coin.
Well, in each of the six districts, they flipped a coin to determine who the winner would be, and wouldn't you know it, all six of those coin tosses came up for Hillary Clinton.
You don't think that's a conspiracy, then chances are about 63 to 1 that you're an idiot.
Because it's only 1 in 64 chance that that would actually happen by sheer chance alone.
So of course there are conspiracies.
All over the place.
And to think that a fast food chain wouldn't be targeted by a rival agribusiness giant that doesn't want their business model to succeed, to think that that couldn't happen is incredibly naive, incredibly gullible.
So I just think it's interesting that, you know, I went on the record and called this early on and said, yeah, this is bioterrorism, most likely.
Even though we can't prove it, it's the most likely explanation for what's happening here.
You know, and think about it, too.
There's another very obvious reason Why my theory is correct.
And that is that most of these farms that provide these raw materials provide them to more than one restaurant chain.
If Chipotle had an E. coli problem, that same problem should have also appeared at other chains that buy from the same sources.
Right?
It's only logical.
Let's be rational here.
These farms, they're not captive by Chipotle.
Chipotle's not their only customer.
And if they have an E. coli contamination problem at Bob's Onion Farm, let's say, then Bob sells onions to more restaurants than just Chipotle.
So you would have seen E. coli in other restaurants at the same time.
But you didn't.
You didn't see that, did you?
So put on your Sherlock Holmes thinking cap here and use some deductive reasoning.
I mean, once you eliminate all the possibilities that aren't true, what you're left with must be the correct explanation.
And what you're left with is, this was deliberate corporate sabotage of Chipotle.
And Chipotle was targeted for all the reasons you might suspect.
They were targeted because they're non-GMO, because they believe in clean food, they believe in unprocessed fresh ingredients, and they have been very vocal about it.
Just as I have.
In fact, Chipotle is being attacked for the same reasons that I had been attacked in the past.
Because I believe in clean food.
Because I believe that consumers should have a choice to avoid GMOs.
Because I believe that foods should be produced in the most ethical manner possible.
And that is not the business model of the food giants that dominate this industry today.
You get it?
I think you do.
I think you do.
I think most people, if they actually sit down and think about this for 10 seconds, it all makes sense.
Yeah, of course.
Of course Chipotle is being targeted.
Now, can Chipotle do an even better job on food safety?
Well, sure.
There's always room for improvement everywhere.
But I don't think Chipotle's food is a real risk.
I think the real risk is eating Chicken McNuggets and drinking Coke and Pepsi and eating fake hormone-raised beef and textured soy protein, genetically modified soy burger products at all these other places.
I think the real risk is eating food that contains ingredients that cause diabetes and heart disease and cancer and Alzheimer's.
You walk into KFC, look at their menu, Almost half of everything there has monosodium glutamate in it.
You ever looked at their ingredients?
That's some frightening, scary stuff.
That's some crazy chemical frankenfood, if you ask me.
If I were driving down a road and I had to have something to eat, and there was a Taco Bell and a Burger King and a, I don't know, what else is there, Jack in the Box and McDonald's and a Chipotle, I would pull into the Chipotle.
No question about it, if that was my only choice.
Now, could they be better?
Yeah, they could be all organic, but that's probably not going to happen in a mainstream sort of fast food, affordable food kind of format.
So if there was another restaurant past Chipotle that was like, you know, organic Margie's sandwich shop, I would go there.
You know, I want the what I really want is organic food.
But the next best thing might be something like Chipotle.
You see what I'm saying?
Because at least they're non-GMO. So it's all about degrees and where you want to eat on the spectrum.
If you want to eat like a complete idiot, just drive through McDonald's.
And you can eat anywhere on that spectrum that you want.
You can eat healthier.
You can eat a little bit healthier.
You can eat a whole lot healthier.
Or you can probably go home and make your own food and eat even healthier.
Or, to take it to the full extreme, do what I really promote, and I practice myself, grow as much of your own food as possible.
Use my Food Rising Grow system, foodrising.org.
It's a very, very good system for growing your own food.
It doesn't even use electricity.
So you can grow your own food for pennies.
It's dirt cheap.
But a lot of people don't want to grow their own food.
They don't have the time.
So they want to get something quick.
And so Chipotle for them is actually a really good choice.
It's at the higher end of the spectrum.
It's not the absolute best, but it's pretty far up there.
It's at least far more fresh and more ethical than most other choices out there.
And it's fast, and it's convenient.
So, you know, it has a real niche in our society, and that's why I'm glad Chipotle exists.
They're leading the way.
They're pioneers in ethical fast food, and they deserve credit for what they're doing.
So would I eat at Chipotle?
Absolutely.
No question about it.
In my opinion, it's a little salty.
I think they could cut down the salt, but for the mainstream American consumer, that's normal salt.
I just, because I eat so much fresh, and I drink so many smoothies, and I grow so much of my own food, I don't have the palate of the average American consumer.
So I'm not into turbo-sweetened foods and extra salty foods.
That's pretty much, there are only really three tastes that the American consumer recognizes anymore, and that's sugar, salt, and fat.
You know, like, that's it.
There are no subtleties anymore with the mainstream consumer because they're living on Doritos and Big Macs.
So their taste sensors are literally blown out.
They can't even, they can't taste the subtleties of a high-quality cheese, let's say, or fresh greens.
They really can't taste any difference between dried spices and fresh spices.
So it doesn't matter to them.
They'd be happier with a cheeseburger.
You know what I mean?
In any case, I find it fascinating that all this is increasingly pointing toward the very theory that I pointed out in the first place, which was that Chipotle is a victim of corporate sabotage.
Not even difficult to say that.
And also that the CDC has closed its investigation and concluded, well, we can't find the source.
See?
You know, I told you so, basically from day one.
I told you this was the situation.
And here we have it all but confirmed.
Anyway, the upshot is it's going to be interesting to see who else gets targeted by the biotech industry or what kind of malicious attacks and criminal type of operations they will conduct.
I mean, we already know they're involved in the bomb threats and the death threats and the scientific fraud of fabrications of science data.
So we know that this mafia, this biotech mafia, is already engaged in widespread criminality.
If you add this corporate sabotage and food bioterrorism on top of it, you know, it's a pretty nefarious type of operation.
I think the FBI should be investigating the biotech industry and its operatives.
They need to investigate it the way they used to investigate big tobacco.
This is just as big of a scientific cover-up.
They need to go subpoena the emails of these people.
They need to look at the dirty money behind the scenes.
They need to look at the key players like Henry Miller, John Entine, Kevin Fulta, the journalists at the Washington Post and the New York Times.
They need to look at the fake front groups like the ACSH. They need to really dig into this.
They're going to find, in my opinion, a whole lot of criminal activity going on there.
Everything from the money laundering of the GMA to literal acts of food bioterrorism, in my opinion.
I think that's what's going on.
And I think they're going to keep doing it as long as they get away with it.
Share the word on this, folks.
And bottom line, help support ethical food.
If Chipotle is a taste that you like, support Chipotle.
Instead of going to McDonald's, go to Chipotle.
Instead of going to Burger King, go to Chipotle.
And if you're afraid of E. coli, by the way, you have a far greater risk probably of being struck by lightning.
But Do what I do.
Just take oregano oil everywhere you travel.
I don't travel without oregano oil.
If you get any kind of food poisoning, oregano oil just wipes it out.
And then you follow that up with some probiotics, you're good.
This is not rocket science.
So...
I don't know.
Some days it's like...
I don't know how to educate everybody about all the things they need to know to be safe consumers because I guess there's so many little tidbits that people just don't even know.
Like oregano oil.
But it's easy to eat safely even when you're eating fresh food just by having the right things with you in case something goes wrong.
But...
Anyway, your real risk of getting an E. coli problem from Chipotle is so incredibly low, you're more likely probably to be killed in a head-on collision on the highway today than to get E. coli from eating at Chipotle.
So just keep all that in mind.
