Investigative writer Jon Rappoport presented some startling claims about SARS in the first half of Friday's show. SARS is a phony epidemic, and the initial reports that the disease is caused by a coronavirus have not been borne out, Rappoport said. These cases are actually misdiagnosed respiratory illnesses such as pneumonia, he added.

"Research fraud" is being carried out Rappoport believes, and Canada and China have been singled out to suffer from these acts of "economic terrorism." Canada may have been a target because they didn't support the war in Iraq, he speculated. And Asia may have been chosen to put a dent in their burgeoning economy.

Rappoport named The World Health Organization (WHO) as the perpetrators of this fraud. "WHO has catapulted itself through this whole SARS situation into literally being a world power that…can enforce its will by various kinds of threats and measures," he explained. "There is a major lawsuit brewing in Canada," over the research fraud which has created an economic loss in the billions, said Rappoport. Further, he believes the SARS hoax may just be a warm-up act, to test out reactions. He suggested WHO's ultimate agenda is "depopulation," and that the organization is controlled by elite global groups such as the Bilderbergers.

Old Hag Hotline

During the second half of Friday's show, George opened a special topic line for Old Hag stories. One of these haunting tales came from a caller named Patricia who said she saw the Hag when she was just five years old and suffering from an illness.

The old woman "looked someone who may have drowned," with shriveled skin that was grey-green in color. Her long grey hair was sticking out of her hood and she carried a cane that she raised up "like she was going to hit me," said Patricia who felt paralyzed at the time. Luckily, the spell was broken when her Aunt and Mother walked in.
