According to the CDC, approximately 36,000 people die each year in the U.S. from the regular flu. That averages to about 100 people a day. The total number of confirmed mortalities in the U.S. from the swine flu since the virus was identified in March is less than 200, So, from this assessment, swine flu turns out to be less threatening than ordinary flu. Yet the WHO, an organization well known to have associative political, martial and industrial interests, has  seen fit to declare a level 6 pandemic — the highest, most dangerous level. What’s going on ?

Because of this declared pandemic, the US government (as well other governments like UK and France), have seen fit to take control of their massive vaccination programmes. So now we have governments instead of doctors in charge of health in the US. The result ?

“Department of Homeland Security officials are declaring that any disease outbreak is a matter of homeland security. Department of Defense officials are defining public demonstrations as ‘low level terrorism.’ In some states … doctors have persuaded legislators to quickly pass pandemic influenza legislation that will allow state officials to enter homes and businesses without the approval of occupants; to investigate and quarantine individuals without their consent; to require licensed health care providers to give citizens vaccines and to ban the free assembly of citizens in the state.” — Barbara Loe Fisher, President of the National Vaccine Information Center, 6/18/09

Homeland Securty in charge of medical matters instead of doctors…Breaking into peoples homes and businesses without consent….Free assembly banned …Forced quarantine…Forced vaccinations?

From the Want to Know website:

Plans have been made and laws have already been passed to restrict constitutional rights during a pandemic. And in spite of the low severity of the swine flu, a pandemic of the highest level has already been declared by the WHO. At worst, these new laws can be used to declare martial law and suspend constitutional rights. At best, many will likely be injured or die from vaccine side effects, like during the swine flu pandemic in 1976, in which a national emergency was declared even though only one person died of the flu. Dozens died that year as a direct result of the massive government vaccination program against the greatly feared flu.

Plans have been made…Laws already passed….Constitutional rights restricted …Death from vaccine side-effects ? What the Hell is going on ?

Certain people have raised valid concerns over the behaviour of the US  government with respect to this swine flu outbreak. Congressman Ron Paul, a much respected politician and a doctor, illustrates some of these anomalies in a short video shown here.

In the video, Ron Paul makes some interesting points. In 1976 when Ron Paul was a young Congressman, there was another so-called outbreak of swine flu and the government handled it in the same way as now. People were forced to have vaccinations. Only 1 American died from this outbreak, and 25 people died from the vaccinations with a further 500  contracting the mysterious  and debillitating Guillian-Barre Syndrome — a severe, paralyzing nerve disease. As a result of this,  the vaccination programme was eventually and hastily  stopped. Ron Paul also questions why Homeland Security has been put in charge of this vaccination programme.

I personally also think that this vaccination program stinks. Funny how all this government expansion and power grabbing, restriction of constitutional rights and Homeland Security involvement is happening so conveniently during a non-happening pandemic, especially with financial conditions expected to deteriorate rapidly and get much worse for the ordinary US citizen. Here we seem to have the government disguising the Inconvenient Truth with more Convenient Lies and misdirection. If I didn’t know better, I would say that the US Government has already achieved  much more illicit and dictatorial control over its completely unsuspecting population without consensus and as for Big Pharma, well I’m sure their shareholders will be simply ecstatic at all the millions(billions?) of vaccine sales. The Crony Buddy System appears to be still flourishing in the US Government or so  it seems.

But other somewhat stronger opinion would push this view even further. From the Global Research website:

“According to a source known to former NSA official Wayne Madsen, “A top scientist for the United Nations, who has examined the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in Africa, as well as HIV/AIDS victims, concluded that H1N1 possesses certain transmission “vectors” that suggest that the new flu strain has been genetically-manufactured as a military biological warfare weapon.

In April, Army criminal investigators were looking into the possibility that disease samples went missing from biolabs at Fort Detrick. “Chad Jones, spokesman for Fort Meade, said CID is investigating the possibility of missing virus samples from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases,” the Frederick News Post reported. “Obviously, in light of the current swine flu scare, and the new strain’s possible synthetic origin, the fact that virus samples may have gone missing from the same Army research lab from which the 2001 anthrax strain was released is extremely disturbing,” Paul Joseph Watson wrote at the time.

Jane Bürgermeister “charges that the entire ’swine flu’ pandemic business is premised on a massive lie that there is no natural virus out there that poses a threat to the population,” writes Barbara Minton for Natural Health News. “She presents evidence leading to the belief that the bird flu and swine flu viruses have, in fact, been bioengineered in laboratories using funding supplied by the WHO and other government agencies, among others. This ’swine flu’ is a hybrid of part swine flu, part human flu and part bird flu, something that can only come from laboratories according to many experts.”

Using the “swine flu” as a pretext, the defendants [in Bürgermeister's lawsuit] have preplanned the mass murder of the U.S. population by means of forced vaccination. They have installed an extensive network of FEMA concentration camps and identified mass grave sites, and they have been involved in devising and implementing a scheme to hand power over the U.S. to an international crime syndicate that uses the UN and WHO as a front for illegal racketeering influenced organized crime activities, in violation of the laws that govern treason.”

Other questions to ponder. How have they managed to produce an “effective” vaccine for Swine Flu so quickly when all those researchers in the know fully admit that the medical process involved in producing a successful vaccine for any virus is so notoriously lengthy and difficult? Why can’t they do the same for TB, HIV and ordinary flu viruses? And if this Swine Flu mutates as viruses always do, will the so-called vaccine still work? And why is this vaccine being forced on people with no option, no choice?

Nothing fits really does it ?

So, as we breath a small sigh of relief and trust,  the bail-out remedy has been dissolved into the financial institutions — still fizzing –  and we wait for its effect. My blind and shaky faith in both Paulson’s and Bernanke’s economic capabilities reminds me of the Marx Brother’s film Monkey Business, wherein  Groucho quips, “Sure I’m a doctor, where’s the horse ?”.

The secretive, adhoc and shadow-agenda-tilted remedies of these two “government employees” does not stir any faith from my bowels whatsoever. Their continued verbal flatulence - telling us nothing really - makes me wonder whether the coming Depression is, indeed, stoppable - or is it like those multitude of assured and very expensive allopathic cancer “cures”, where it is so difficult to determine whether the poor and trusting cancer patient was - in the end - killed by the cancer or the vicious “cure”. Meanwhile, the advising doctors and drugs companies get fatter and richer. I’m sure even Hippocrates himself would shudder with disgust and horror at this sick ruse…

First Paulson. His background and pure essence is Wall Street. He was an Ivy Leaguer, East coast, and was a star wrestler and footballer at college.  He has a B. A. in English from Dartmouth College. Disappointingly, I can’t find any learned references to Economics within his education at all. Paulson began his work in government, moving up to work as assistant secretary to Jon Ehrlichman in the Nixon administration from 1972 - 73. From here he joined Goldman Sachs, eventually succeeding Jon Corzine to become CEO in 1998. In Wikipedia his achievements may be further summed up:

“His net worth has been estimated at over US$700 million.^[9] Paulson has personally built close relations with China during his career. In July 2008 it was reported by The Daily Telegraph that: “Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson has intimate relations with the Chinese elite, dating from his days at Goldman Sachs when he visited the country more than 70 times.”"

Just before the bailout vote in the senate, Goldman Sachs (together with other major financial institutions) contributed significant funds to both McCain and Obama as well as to other major players including Senator Dodd, Head of the Senate Banking Committee. Perhaps they did this to assure safe passage of the Bailout Bill through the Senate ? See it here :

Here is evidence of who Paulson really works for :

Evidence of Political Manipulation by Goldman Sachs:

“Let me end my talk by abusing slightly my status as an official representative of the Federal Reserve System. I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression. You’re right, we did it. We’re very sorry. But thanks to you, we won’t do it again.”

Here we have Ron Paul arguing about the Paulson Plan and it’s dire lack of oversight and transparency from both the Fed as well as the Treasury. Ron Paul also questions Bernanke about the latter’s favourite subject - the reasons for the Great Crash of 1929, and logically disputes Bernanke’s opinion. This is cat and mouse at its best and is well worth watching.

Ron Paul’s Joint Economic Committee Statement:
September 24, 2008

“Mr. Chairman, I believe that our economy faces a bleak future, particularly if the latest $700 billion bailout plan ends up passing. We risk committing the same errors that prolonged the misery of the Great Depression, namely keeping prices from falling. Instead of allowing overvalued financial assets to take a hit and trade on the market at a more realistic value, the government seeks to purchase overvalued or worthless assets and hold them in the unrealistic hope that at some point in the next few decades, someone might be willing to purchase them.

One of the perverse effects of this bailout proposal is that the worst-performing firms, and those who interjected themselves most deeply into mortgage-backed securities, credit default swaps, and special investment vehicles will be those who benefit the most from this bailout. As with the bailout of airlines in the aftermath of 9/11, those businesses who were the least efficient, least productive, and least concerned with serving consumers are those who will be rewarded for their mismanagement with a government handout, rather than the failure of their company that is proper to the market. This creates a dangerous moral hazard, as the precedent of bailing out reckless lending will lead to even more reckless lending and irresponsible behavior on the part of financial firms in the future.

This bailout is a slipshod proposal, slapped together haphazardly and forced on an unwilling Congress with the threat that not passing it will lead to the collapse of the financial system. Some of the proposed alternatives are no better, for instance those which propose a government equity share in bailed-out companies. That we have come to a point where outright purchases of private sector companies is not only proposed but accepted by many who claim to be defenders of free markets bodes ill for the future of American society.

As with many other government proposals, the opportunity cost of this bailout goes unmentioned. $700 billion tied up in illiquid assets is $700 billion that is not put to productive use. That amount of money in the private sector could be used to research new technologies, start small business that create thousands of jobs, or upgrade vital infrastructure. Instead, that money will be siphoned off into unproductive assets which may burden the government for years to come. The great French economist Frederic Bastiat is famous for explaining the difference between what is seen and what is unseen. In this case the bailout’s proponents see the alleged benefits, while they fail to see the jobs, businesses, and technologies not created due to this utter waste of money.

The housing bubble has burst, unemployment is on the rise, and the dollar weakens every day. Unfortunately our leaders have failed to learn from the mistakes of previous generations and continue to lead us down the road toward economic ruin.”
