“Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza that regularly cause outbreaks of influenza among pigs. Swine flu viruses do not normally infect humans, however, human infections with swine flu do occur, and cases of human-to-human spread of swine flu viruses has been documented. See General Information about Swine Flu. From December 2005 through February 2009, a total of 12 human infections with swine influenza were reported from 10 states in the United States. Since March 2009, a number of confirmed human cases of a new strain of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection in the U.S. and internationally have been identified. An investigation into these cases is ongoing. For more information see Human Swine Flu Investigation.” - Center for Disease Control CDC - Influenza (Flu) | Swine Influenza (Flu)

Both the corporatist media and the Blogosphere are abuzz with reports of the spread of Swine Flue and the potential of an Avian Flu a.k.a. “Bird Flu” pandemic. Don’t be alarmed or panic, this just may be a case of hype and hoopla signifying nothing. It could be a trail balloon where the ruling elites use their media to spread rumors and disinformation to see how gullible and easily panicked the masses can be. Or it may be an intentional case of mass poison as part of a depopulation plan that was articulated during the Carter Administration.

There is a plan to trim the world’s population. One offical report is called National Security Study Memorandum 200 also known as Global 2000. This depopulation plan is no crackpot “conspiracy theory”, it is real. The ruling elites have long desired a massive reduction in the world’s population. The fewer people there are on the planet the easier it is to control them. So various psychopathic megalomaniacs have plotted and planned ways to reduce the human population. “On Dec. 10, 1974, the U.S. National Security Council under Henry Kissinger completed a classified 200-page study, “National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.” The study falsely claimed that population growth in the so-called Lesser Developed Countries (LDCs) was a grave threat to U.S. national security. Adopted as official policy in November 1975 by President Gerald Ford, NSSM 200 outlined a covert plan to reduce population growth in those countries through birth control, and also, implicitly, war and famine. Brent Scowcroft, who had by then replaced Kissinger as national security adviser (the same post Scowcroft was to hold in the Bush administration), was put in charge of implementing the plan. CIA Director George Bush was ordered to assist Scowcroft, as were the secretaries of state, treasury, defense, and agriculture.” Ask.com Search Engine - Better Web Search To read the actual document go to NSSM200.

Keep in mind chemical and biological warfare have been a staple of European imperialism and genocide for centuries. Both the British settlers and AmeriKKKans gave Native Americans blankets infested with Smallpox as part of an overarching plan to exterminate them and steal their lands. In more recent times, George W. Bu$h’s White House staff was taking Cipro the antidote for the very strain of Anthrax that was sent to Democratic congressional leaders, NBC’s Tom Brokaw which also killed several US Postal workers shortly after 9-11 a full month before the anthrax laced letters surfaced! Doesn’t that seem extraordinarily prescient? Maybe like 9-11 itself the Bu$h cabal had foreknowledge the anthrax attacks were coming. Maybe they did it themselves or had it done?

Speaking of the government culpability, don’t forget the infamous Tuskegee Experiment where the US government stood passively by and watched hundreds of black men infected with syphilis get progressively sick and die and they did nothing to help or heal them. Instead, they watched the disease advance so they could document its effects.

Here’s another piece of information that may help add clarity or give a different perspective to the current Swine Flu outbreak. Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has a major financial interest in Gilead Sciences Inc. the developer of an anti-viral medicine called Tamiflu . Gilead Sciences sold its license to produce Tamiflu to a Swiss pharmaceutical firm named Roche. As fate would have it Tamiflu is the only medicine supposedly able to reduce the symptoms of the Avian or “Bird Flu”. Remember when the corporate media was warning us of a possible Bird Flu outbreak several years ago. Well the fear mongering worked. Sales of Tamiflu and profits of Roche soured through the stratosphere. Wonder how much Rumsfeld and his buddies made off of that one?

“Since early 2001 when Rumsfeld left the board of Gilead Sciences to become Defense Secretary, Gilead’s stock price has gone from around $7 per share to just a hair above $50 a share today. The future price direction? The stratosphere, especially since the President made it an explicit goal of the US ‘flu defense pre-emptive war’ on November 1. Gilead, which signed over the world marketing rights to Hoffmann-LaRoche, gets 10% of every dose of Tamiflu sold. Gilead is presently in a legal battle to retake 100% marketing control as well. From $7 to $50 translates into a neat 720% profit for Mr. Rumsfeld’s Gilead stock holdings since he went to Washington four-and-a-half years ago. Since the start of the carefully orchestrated current Bird Flu hysteria this March, Rummy’s Gilead stocks have gained a neat 56% alone.That might explain why, instead of dumping his shares as one might expect from an honest government official wanting to avoid a conflict of interest, he instead opted to buy another $18 million worth. Curiously, the Secretary waited until October 26, 2005 before issuing an official Department of Defense press statement that he had ‘recused’ himself from involvement in any future Pentagon decisions involving Gilead Sciences. By then, of course, the horse had long burst out of the barn door and the price of Gideon was racing at full gallop as the Pentagon and the Administration had already decided to stockpile millions of doses of Tamiflu.” Bird Flu: A Corporate Bonanza for the Biotech Industry Tamiflu, Vistide and the Pentagon Agenda by F.

Don’t fall for the okey-doke. Stay healthy. Watch what you eat, wash your food thoroughly. Limit your intake of animal products at meals. Do the things you know will keep you healthy, get your rest, drink plenty of water and eat moderate sized, balanced healthy and nutritious meals. Just because we know “they” are out to get us doesn’t make us paranoid.

With the demand for anti-anthrax drugs growing, the federal government and Bayer Corp. reached an agreement Wednesday on cutting the price of the antibiotic Cipro. Bayer agreed to sell the government 100 million pills at 95 cents each, a savings of $82 million dollars from the company's original price.

"This agreement means that a much larger supply of this important pharmaceutical product will be available if needed," Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson said in a statement.

President Bush has authorized $175 million to help the cash-strapped postal service contend with the anthrax and terrorist attacks and the U.S. Postal Service's board authorized $200 million in emergency spending by the agency.

The administration is also making $300 million available immediately to help authorities in New York, New Jersey, the district and Florida deal with the anthrax threat. Another $300 million is available for local and statewide efforts nationally.

the best means for prevention of inhalation anthrax is prolonged antibiotic therapy in conjunction with anthrax vaccination.

Overuse of ciprofloxacin could lead to the development of resistance.

CDC Anthrax Q & A: Preventive Therapy



As with all antibiotics, take the medication according to the schedule you were instructed, and even if you begin to feel better, continue taking it for the full number of days.
CDC Anthrax Q & A: Preventive Therapy


Question:
If Influenza (the flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused byinfluenza viruses. Which causes mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death.

Why is the best way to prevent the flu is getting a flu vaccination each year?

Wouldn't that lead to the development of resistance to the flu?

• Every year in the United States, on average 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu;

• more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications,

• and; about 36,000 people die from flu-related causes.

• Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious flu complications.

I don't have to wonder why...

resistance

a. The capacity of an organism to defend itself against a disease.
b. The capacity of an organism or a tissue to withstand the effects of a harmful environmental agent.
3. The capacity of an organism, tissue, or cell to withstand the effects of a harmful physical or environmental agent, such as a microorganism or pollutant.

resistance - definition of resistance by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.



Why can't I take a shot, wear a patch, or take one large dose of the medicine instead of taking it for 60 days?

Spores can stay in your body for some time before they start growing and causing you to become ill.

When the spores are not growing, antibiotics are not effective.

Only after the spores start to grow can the antibiotics work. Therefore, you need a constant level of antibiotic in your body for 60 days to make sure that when the spores start to grow, the antibiotic is there to kill them.

IG Farben (short for Interessen-Gemeinschaft Farbenindustrie AG, "syndicate of dyestuff corporations", and also called I.G. Farbenfabriken) was a German conglomerate of companies formed in 1925 and even earlier during World War I. Farben is German for "paints", "dyes", or "colors", and initially many of these companies produced dyes, but soon began to embrace more advanced chemistry. The founding of IG Farben was a reaction to Germany's defeat in World War I. IG Farben held a near total monopoly on chemical production, later during the National Socialist (Nazi) regime, including manufacturing Zyklon B. This was a poison commonly used at the time for delousing, which became notorious as the lethal agent in the gas chambers of the death camps of Auschwitz and Majdanek. The company was a major user of slave labour. Before the war the dyestuff companies had a near monopoly in the world market which they lost during the conflict. One solution for regaining this position was a large merger.

IG Farben consisted of the following major companies and several smaller ones.

AGFA (Aktien-Gesellschaft für Anilin-Fabrikation), Berlin
Cassella, Frankfurt
BASF (Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik), Ludwigshafen
Bayer, Leverkusen
Farbwerke Hoechst (now Sanofi-Aventis), Höchst <<<
Chemische Werke Hüls, Marl (founded in 1938)
Chemische Fabrik Kalle, Biebrich

After the Holocaust, I.G. Farben joined with Americans to develop chemical warfare agents. Due to the severity of the war crimes committed by IG Farben during World War II, the company was considered to be too corrupt to be allowed to continue to exist, and the allies considered confiscating all of its assets and putting it out of business. Instead, in 1951, the company was split up into the original constituent companies. The four largest quickly bought the smaller ones, and today only Agfa, BASF, and Bayer remain, while Hoechst merged with the French Rhône-Poulenc Rorer to form Aventis, now based in Strasbourg, France.



Sanofi-aventis is one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, ranking number one in Europe. In the U.S., which is the fastest growing market region for the company, sanofi-aventis currently ranks among the top five pharmaceutical companies. Backed by a world-class R&D organization, sanofi-aventis is developing leading positions in seven major therapeutic areas: cardiovascular, thrombosis, oncology, metabolic diseases, central nervous system, internal medicine, and vaccines.

Sanofi-aventis is listed in Paris (EURONEXT: SAN) and in New York (NYSE: SNY). The corporate headquarters are based in Paris, France. The headquarters of our U.S. organization are based in Bridgewater, New Jersey. For more information on sanofi-aventis in the U.S.


COMPETITION COMMISSION
MEDIA RELEASE NO. 11 OF 2002
9 July 2002
http://www.compcom.co.za/Resources/M...l11-July02.asp
Competition Commission conditionally approves Bayer-Aventis merger

The Competition Commission has recommended that the merger between Bayer (Pty) Ltd and Aventis CropScience (Pty) Ltd to go ahead, providing Bayer divests itself of several of its brands of agricultural insecticides and fungicides

The Competition Commission is an independent body responsible for investigating mergers, market shares and conditions and the regulation of firms under United Kingdom competition law. It is a non-departmental public body (NDPB) under the Department of Trade and Industry.

The Commission replaced the Monopolies and Mergers Commission on April 1 1999. It was created by the Competition Act of 1998. This Act created a competition law structure similar to that detailed in the European Treaty. Such as Chapter 1 which prohibited anti-competitive agreements within a market, for example cartels. And in Chapter 2, the prohibition of abuse of a dominant position within a market

cartel is a formal (explicit) agreement among firms. Cartels usually occur in an oligopolistic industry, where there are a small number of sellers and usually involve homogeneous products. Cartel members may agree on such matters as price fixing, total industry output, market shares, allocation of customers, allocation of territories, bid rigging, establishment of common sales agencies, and the division of profits or combination of these. The aim of such collusion is to increase individual member's profits by reducing competition. Competition laws forbid cartels. Identifying and breaking up cartels is an important part of the competition policy in most countries, although proving the existence of a cartel is rarely easy, as firms are usually not so careless as to put agreements to collude on paper.

An oligopoly is a market form in which a market or industry is dominated by a small number of sellers (oligopolists).

Very thought provoking and informative post. Thanks. The European ruling elites and their flunkies are doing what they do best, terrorize people's minds, foment fear, distrust, promote the notion of lack, that it's a dog eat dog world out there and the unwashed gullible masses need them to survive. Keep thinking for yourself and stay strong.
