Title BIRD FLU UPDATE: TURKEY
Release Date 2006-01-14
Time 10:19:00

JANUARY 12, 2006. I have been through these situations before: reporting
from an area is spotty, hard to verify, and reporters tend to use
generalities to cover a lack of specific facts.

Right now, the "bird-flu scene" in Turkey is fluid, to say the least.

Here are the basic stats being relayed from Turkey by Reuters. Two teens
have died and H5N1 virus was in their bodies, and cause of death has been
ruled bird flu. A third teen, from the same family as the other two
children, has also died, and although H5N1 has been found in her lungs,
officials are presently reluctant to call it a definite fatality from H5N1.

There are roughly 18 other people in Turkey who have been found to have
H5N1 virus. Reports on this stat vary.

350,000 birds have been slaughtered in Turkey in the past two weeks, "to
stop the spread of bird flu," and a 2-mile quarantine perimeter has been
set up around "the infected area." What infected area? Poultry farms?
Unclear.

I have emailed the World Health Organization and left a phone message for a
chief WHO bird-flu coordinator in New York. No answers yet.

My question is simple---WHAT SPECIFIC DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOR H5N1 WERE DONE
AT THE WHO LAB IN THE UK, WHERE FINAL JUDGMENT CALLS WERE MADE ON THE
TURKISH CHILDREN? ANTIBODY TESTS? PCR?

AFP press agency is implying that the "human bird-flu cases" in Turkey are
centered at one hospital, the Van. And the chief physician there is calling
for international help, stating that no outside medical personnel have
arrived with assistance for Turkey.

My nose tells me, EXAMINE THIS HOSPITAL CLOSELY. See what tests (if any)
for bird flu they are running. On what are they basing their assessments
about H5N1? Is the hospital prone to various types of spreading infections
within its walls?

The head physician there, Dr. Sahin, states that Turkey needs more labs
that can quickly ID viruses. This tells me that the testing situation in
Turkey could be a complete mess.

As I've written in earlier articles, the two most popular ways of lab
testing for viruses are: antibodies and PCR. Both tests are completely
useless in establishing any sort of contributory role of viruses in illness
or death.

Compound this fact with, say, a series of labs that simply don't know what
they are doing, where contamination is generally rampant...and you have
nothing. Zero reliability.

Keep in mind that Turkey is being used as a propaganda hammer by the
bird-flu alarmists. "First time human cases have appeared outside of Asia."
"Very close to Europe." "We are moving nearer to a possible pandemic
situation." Blah blah.

Here is how I would characterize the situation, by analogy, in Turkey:
there are eight car accidents with fatalities in a major US city, within a
one-week span; authorities claim that all these accidents and deaths are
connected; after all, every one of those eight cars crashed into a some
solid object; in every case, the people who died were found in their cars;
all the cars were American-made...

And based on this, government offficials are warning of an impending
epidemic of car crashes in America.

HAS JIM WEST TURNED CONVENTIONAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT BIRD FLU UPSIDE DOWN?

JANUARY 19, 2006. Buckle up for this one. It's big. Very big.

HAS JIM WEST BROKEN THE BANK ON BIRD FLU IN TURKEY? AND OTHER PLACES?

For a couple of years, I've been aware of Jim's highly original work. He
found some very compelling correlations between air pollution and birds
dying of so-called West Nile disease. In other words, the unproven idea of
a virus doing damage was replaced with a much more down-to-earth and
visible conclusion. Jim did that investigative work.

Jim has now ventured into the bizarre world of bird flu.

He goes where other journalists don't.

He has perspectives that other people don't think about.

In a half-sane world, Jim would be accorded much praise and significant
rewards.

Here, I'm going to print major excerpts from his recent emails on the
subject of bird flu in Turkey. (The H5N1 bird flu virus is being blamed for
the deaths of several children there, and for perhaps 20 other human cases
in that country.)

As I've pointed out, the actual blood tests on those children are opaque.
We don't know how the tests were done by the hospital in Van, Turkey, or
the World Health Organization (WHO) in England. I've been trying vainly to
get very specific information from WHO.

From here on, these are the words of Jim West. I make comments in caps and
brackets.

***********************************************
1) At the same time that "bird flu" hit Turkey, Turkey had let 2,000,000
children out of the schools due to overwhelming SMOG. [THIS IS AN
EXTRAORDINARY POINT. GLOBAL HEALTH AGENCIES HAVE BEEN IGNORING IT
COMPLETELY, IN THE RABID ATTEMPT TO LINK UP ILLNESS WITH A VIRUS--JR]

Similarities are here, for H5N1, West Nile, SARS -- and air pollution. West
Nile was a "bird flu", "a flu-like disease", killing avians massively. [IN
OTHER WORDS, RESEARCHERS HAVE IGNORED CORRELATIONS BETWEEN SERIOUS CHEMICAL
AIR POLLUTION AND SO-CALLED H5N1, WEST NILE, AND SARS--JR]

Turkey and Iran are polluted by mining and petro-chemical industries. Iraq
is also at the epidemic intersection, but I hadn't time to look for
industry there. [THE AREA OF TURKEY SAID TO BE HIT BY BIRD FLU ADJOINS
AREAS OF IRAN AND IRAQ---JR]

2) H5N1 stock virus. Independent investigation is difficult or impossible
due to Patriot Act and Homeland Security laws. [ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY
POINT. INDEPENDENT UNBIASED RESEARCHERS SHOULD BE STUDYING H5N1 TO SEE WHAT
IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE, WHAT ITS CHARACTERISTICS ARE...WHETHER IT IS REALLY A
VIRUS...ALL SORTS OF QUESTIONS WOULD BE ASKED BY TRULY UNBIASED
RESEARCHERS, BUT SAMPLES OF H5N1 ARE BEING HELD VERY CLOSE TO THE
VEST...THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS SECRECY IS: THE VIRUS COULD BE USED AS A
BIO-WEAPON---JR]

www.geocities.com/harpub (polio and persistent pesticides)
www.geocities.com/noxot (wnv and air pollution)
www.westonaprice.org/envtoxins/sarsepidemic.html (SARS and air pollution)

So that's Jim's first email. I highly recommend these sites he lists, to
get more of his information on so-called viral diseases and the actual
connection to major air pollution.

Here is Jim's next email:

Yes, "Bird Flu" doesn't make sense -- but because the virology is
institutionalized panic that enables non-democratic programs, and
propaganda rituals, which protect industrial polluters.

Bird Flu isn't actually viropathological. The fundamental virus science,
e.g., data about the stock virus, is blocked from independent review by the
Patriot Act and Homeland Security laws. (See on CDC website, the "Select
Agents Program"). Official rationale: "Bird Flu" (H5N1) is a terrorist's
tool...

A previous "bird flu" epidemic was called called West Nile virus. My study
found that to be massive air pollution. This was published in Townsend
Letter for Doctors and Patients (2000), and reviewed positively by ABC's
Nicholas Regush (8/2001). Regush then interviewed the major scientists, who
became apologetic. www.geocities.com/noxot

Another previous Southeast Asian "flu" (which is now not being diagnosed
enthusiastically, with Toronto's chief epidemiologist calling WHO's actions
"bullshit") is called SARS, and that is evidently, per my review of
evidence, air pollution: My review was published by Weston A. Price, and is
online: www.westonaprice.org/envtoxins/sarsepidemic.html
Six months later, a UCLA study in Environmental Health confirmed an
association of SARS mortality with air pollution.

Regarding migratory birds in Africa...if there is no "bird flu"
epidemic among the migratory birds of Africa, then what are those birds
dying of? There has been huge mortality of African migratory birds
recognized during recent years...

...several years ago, I found that migratory geese in New Jersey were being
diagnosed for "an unknown pathogen" in the highly polluted Brigantine Park,
a crossroads for air effluents by DuPont, Exxon, and others. The first
clinical step for that bird epidemic was to have toxicology "ruled out".
Those geese were literally falling dead out of the sky. Dr. Roscoe was New
Jersey's avian clinician. His mentor was Ward Stone, NYS DEC avian
pathologist. [RESEARCHERS IGNORED ANY POISONING OF THOSE BIRDS AS A RESULT
OF CHEMICAL POLLUTION, AND INSTEAD OPTED FOR SOME UNKNOWN GERM. EVEN THOUGH
THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE "GERM" WAS, THEY ASSUMED "IT" WAS THE CAUSE OF
THE BIRD DEATHS---JR]

So that's a toxicological lens through which we can view today's "bird flu".

That's Jim West's second email. Here is his next one:

Jon,

Here are, following my other email to you, URL links regarding Turkey and
smog, with schools being closed, 2,000,000 children...

In case some people think that the recent victims of bird flu in Turkey are
environmentally safe, here are some search results for the area of Van,
Turkey, which [is] on the Iran border. [VAN IS THE AREA IN TURKEY WHERE THE
CHILDREN DIED--JR]

Eastern Turkey and the adjoining NW Iran are mining and petrochemical
regions.

Respiratory disease is rampant in these regions.

Meanwhile, new bird flu cases in fowl were detected in five areas in
eastern and southeastern Turkey and authorities have culled 7,000 fowl in
those areas, Agriculture Minister Mehdi Eker said Thursday.

In Istanbul, the biggest city in Turkey, authorities immediately took four
pigeons, found dead near a mosque, to a lab for bird flu tests and sprayed
the area with disinfectants, the municipality said in a statement late
Thursday, the Anatolia news agency reported early Friday...

************************************************

Okay, so those are Jim West's emails. We can see that very serious chemical
pollution exists in the air in certain areas of Turkey and adjoining Iran.
This is being ignored in studying the deaths of the several children there,
and is ignored in other cases of sickness as well. And this pollution is
also being ignored in studying the deaths of birds.

Why? Well, who benefits from this diversion away from the facts?

The people who own and operate the industries that are poisoning the air.

To take this further, I personally find it very hard to believe that, in an
area of extreme pollution, where RESPIRATORY DISEASE is the key condition,
three children who are sick are suddenly "checked for bird flu." Among many
cases of chemically caused respiratory distress in the region, all of a
sudden there is going to be an investigation of bird flu?

I believe this is part of a larger agenda, one which I've described in
earlier articles. Remember, Turkey is being cited as the first country
outside of Asia where "bird flu has jumped." "Now, Europe is being
threatened." Those who want this fake viral epidemic to be more frightening
consider Turkey a major advance in their propaganda program.
