Finally, the pieces of the puzzle start to add up. Last week, President
Bush sought to instill panic in this country by telling us a minimum of
200,000 people will die from the avian flu pandemic but it could be as bad
as 2 million deaths in this country alone.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/200 ... emic_x.htm
This hoax is then used to justify the immediate purchase of 80 million
doses of Tamiflu, a worthless drug that in no way shape or form treats the
avian flu, but only decreases the amount of days one is sick and can
actually contribute to the virus having more lethal mutations.

So the U.S. placed an order for 20 million doses of this worthless drug at
a price of $100 per dose. That comes to a staggering $2 billion.

We are being told that Roche manufactures Tamiflu and, in yesterday's New
York Times, they were battling whether or not they would allow generic drug
companies to help increase their production.

But if you dig further you will find that a drug was actually developed by
a company called Gilead that 10 years ago gave Roche the exclusive rights
to market and sell Tamiflu.

Ahh, The Plot Thickens...

If you read the link below from Gilead, you'll discover Defense Secretary
Donald Rumsfeld was made the chairman of Gilead in 1997.

Since Rumsfeld holds major portions of stock in Gilead, he will handsomely
profit from the scare tactics of the government that is being used to
justify the purchase of $2 billion of Tamiflu.

For more on the nonsense of the avian flu hoax, you'll want to review my
post from yesterday.

Rumsfeld To Profit FromAvian Flu Hoax

"Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld will likely profit handsomely from the
announcement the government is purchasing $2 billion of Tamiflu, the drug
developed by Gilead Sciences when Rumsfeld was president of the company. He
is reported to hold major portions of stock in Gilead"

"Ida Honorof wrote, "the most brazen, obscene electioneering ploy" ever and
added that it was proposed by the President "and his coterie of scientific
hacks, fabricated to cause pure unadulterated panic and guarantee political
capital, rammed through without consideration of people's health and lives
and approved by a band-wagon Congress" eager to make the nation's "health"
a bipartisan concern." (actually written about SWINE FLU hoax years ago)

"First step for anyone caught up in this avian flu hype nonsense is to take
a deep breath and relax and realize the truth here. Unless you are full
time bird handler in a third world country that has a seriously challenged
immune system you probably have a much better chance of wining the lottery
than dying from the proposed avian flu epidemic."

Avian Flu Epidemic Scare is a Hoax

"If you have been viewing the media you must have seen the scare the media
and the president are seeking to orchestrate on you and the public.
According to a draft of the government's plan to fight a potentially
cataclysmic pandemic this new avian super-flu could kill nearly TWO MILLION
Americans.

But I nearly fell out of my seat in the airplane as I was flying back from
a conference in Ft. Lauderdale when I read that in the BEST-case scenario,
only 200,000 people might die.

Then they post the frightening picture from the 1918 flu epidemic to
heighten the fear. It just amazes me how they can get away with this type
of reporting that is so obviously manipulated by the government and drug
companies to scare you into taking the flu vaccine.

The popular media continues to reinforce this unbased fear. In the
editorial section of the October 17, 2005 issue of the Wall Street Journal,
Dr. Henry Miller, former director of the Office of Biotechnology at the
FDA, seeks to frighten the US public by telling us that the avian flu virus
can jump from birds to humans and produce a fatal illness in 50% of those
infected.

Ah there's the rub. 50% fatality rate sounds pretty scary to me. What Dr.
Miller and the other experts fail to explain is how these numbers were
derived. Did they examine everyone who contracted the avian flu and use
those numbers or did they examine the sickest of the sick who had come down
with the avian flu and determine the mortality from there?

Of course it was the later, and from the 60 people who have died from this
in THIRD world countries we are being told that anywhere from 200,000 AT
BEST to two million people at worst will die from the avian flu.

This is shody science at best and beyond belief that any reputable
scientist could get away with such nonsense.

Daily Show Parody

Fortunately contemporary comedians can see right through this nonsense.
Here are the links to Jon Stewart's scathing and brilliant Daily Show piece
on bird flu. But I have to warn you that it may cause you to hurt yourself
from laughing so hard, especially the World Health expert comments on the
avian flu killing 150 million people and even funnier comment of George
Bush on bird to people transmission.

What Happened to Common Sense?

The avian flu epidemic hoax reminds me just how uncommon "common sense" is.
Folks where is the sound basic science here? How do they make the giant
leap of faith that 60 deaths will translate to 2 million or even 200,00
deaths in the US from a virus that does NOT readily spread from birds to
humans or humans to humans?

Most of the people who acquired this infection were bird handlers who were
in continuous contact with these sick birds. Does anyone in their right
mind envision similar circumstances in the US?

Research like this would typically be thrown in the trash if it did not
strongly support some ulterior purpose.

What might the purpose of these scare tactics be you ask?

Well how about the US purchasing huge quantities of antiviral drugs and an
increase in flu vaccine production along with purchasing 20 million doses
of the highly questionably effective Tamiflu. Guess how much one treatment
of Tamiflu costs? Give yourself a slap on the back if you guessed $100.

Donald Rumsfeld to Profit Big Time

So those 20 million doses the government has authorized will cost US
Taxpayers 2 BILLION dollars.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld will likely profit handsomely from the
announcement the government is purchasing $2 billion of Tamiflu, the drug
developed by Gilead Sciences when Rumsfeld was president of the company. He
is reported to hold major portions of stock in Gilead

Not very different from his previous experience with aspartame where he was
president of Searle and was able to get asparatame approved after being
blocked by the FDA for more than a decade.

Now I think very few of us would mind if this drug actually worked and
prevented even a few people from dying. But does it do that? Not really.
About all anyone can expect from this drug is that it might make the
symptoms a bit less severe. On the downside (aside from setting you back
$100) Dr. Tenpenny explained in her Flu Tele Clinic last week Tamiflu can
actually cause the virus to mutate into a more dangerous and potent viral
strain.

Yesterday US Congress asked Roche, the maker of Tamiflu to suspend its
patent and have others make it because they could not likely keep up with
the demand, but of course Roche refused saying Tamiflu is hard to make and
it would take another company three years to "get up to speed".

What they were really saying is they could care less about the public, what
their primary focus on was to not share their windfall profits mandated by
the US Congress.

Worthless Flu Shots

Of course let us not forget the flu shots which many will use get when they
confuse avian flu with the regular flu. Please understand even if you
believe the flu shots work, the flu shot you can now purchase is in no way
shape or form designed to protect you against the flu. They are completely
different strains. (Avian flu is H5N1 strain).

But rest assured the makers of flu vaccines will not lose this unusal
opportunity to rape the American public of even more profits. Today we
learned that those getting the flu shotsmay see a 25% increase in prices at
clinics, doctors' offices and medical centers because of increases in the
wholesale cost of the vaccines.

History Repeats Itself

Investigative journalist Ida Honorof for decades published a consumer
newsletter and broadcast a regular radio program. Honorof received a first
prize award from Associated Press for investigative journalism. The Los
Angeles Times and other publications credited her with breaking some of the
biggest horror stories of our time.

Ida Honorof wrote, "the most brazen, obscene electioneering ploy" ever and
added that it was proposed by the President "and his coterie of scientific
hacks, fabricated to cause pure unadulterated panic and guarantee political
capital, rammed through without consideration of people's health and lives
and approved by a band-wagon Congress" eager to make the nation's "health"
a bipartisan concern.

The above quote was not written about the avian flu epidemic but the 5
million swine-flu vaccine program of 30 years ago. The hastily contrived
program for swine flu resulted in hundreds of Guillain Barre Syndrome
paralysis victims as well as countless deaths for a flu pandemic that never
materialized.

The pocketbook purloining proposed by the Senate is more than 3,000 per
cent greater than that of 30 years ago! Has your paycheck increased 3,000
per cent in the last 30 years?

Practical Options

First step for anyone caught up in this avian flu hype nonsense is to take
a deep breath and relax and realize the truth here. Unless you are full
time bird handler in a third world country that has a seriously challenged
immune system you probably have a much better chance of wining the lottery
than dying from the proposed avian flu epidemic.

Review the simple lifestyle measures I outlined earlier this year that will
serve to boost your immune system to not only address any form of the flu
but also other infectious illness like the cold. When you have a healthy
lifestyle and follow basic steps of the Total Health program, for the most
part you just don't get sick.

This is the routine surprised comment that most patients tell me after they
have been on the program. The Total Health program works for me, most of my
patients and can work for you. Just give it a try and let's stop enriching
the drug companies for toxic alternatives that don't solve the problem.

For more information about the avian flu you can obtain the Flu Tele Clinic
I did last week with Dr. Tenpenny.

WHAT DOES A BIRD-FLU HOAX ACCOMPLISH?

Comment

Article Text
OCTOBER 21, 2005. I've written several articles pointing out the obvious
scientific hoaxes surrounding the current bird-flu pandemic nonsense.

And I'll have more coming soon on that score.

Meanwhile, let's review WHO BENEFITS scaring the pants off everyone for no
good reason.

First, the government(s) gets to put troops on the streets. Again. This
continues the conditioning operation, in which private citizens become
accustomed to military presence in civilian locales.

This is big. Posse Comitatus continues to erode. The military is hyped as
the only institution that can really protect the population against all
sorts of disasters.

Second, there is the opporunity, at some point, to declare emergencies and
QUARANTINES. "Stay home. Don't go out. If you do, you'll be arrested."

Third, the government can begin to take action against any criticism of the
medical authorities and their manipulations. We are now seeing a Bill
working its way through Congress, and this Bill will outlaw any legal
action taken against government or drug companies for injuries sustained
from medical drugs or vaccines given during a state of emergency---such as
an epidemic.

Fourth, there will be vaccines forced on the population, to "fend off" the
epidemic. This re-enforces the practice of mandatory medical treatment.

Fifth, vaccines always contain the seeds of toxicity. I'm not just talking
about mercury. There are formaldehyde, aluminum, and other chemicals in the
vaccines. Many vaccines are made by passing germs through animal products,
such as chicken eggs, which already contain a wide variety of other germs.
And of course, the vaccines are injected directly into the body, bypassing
a number of the usual immune defenses.

Vaccines, via this toxicity, and by their very nature, SUBSTITUTE for the
body's own natural defense systems. In other words, the vaccines weaken the
body's habit of defending itself.

With all this toxicity, the population is weakened under the paradigm of
vaccines. This is obviously good for authoritarian rule. The weaker the
people, the harder it is for them to think and act clearly and feel the
confidence necessary to live as independent
entities.

Yes, Virginia, you can achieve all of the above goals merely by hyping a
non-existent pandemic that, at the most, has klled 60 people around the
world in the last several years.

Don't forget drugs given for the flu, either. Medicines like Tamiflu are
toxic. They can bring on all sorts of severe adverse effects.

The massive propaganda machines of various governments and health agencies
have already achieved a stunning coup. Their hammered warnings of imminent
pandemic have penetrated so far into the collective consciousness,
globally, that even with a sudden pronouncement of no more than 20 human
bird-flu cases in a small town in the US or England, the people of those
countries would agree and consent to all sorts of draconian measures.

Very few people would stop and think about the science or the politics.
People would trample each other to get a flu shot. People would stay
indoors. Businesses would close. Airports around the country could be shut
down with barely a murmur of protest.

That's the effect of really good propaganda. You don't need case numbers
that amount to anything. You don't need science. You just need official
liars and the press and the government.

That's right. It DOES look a lot like the basic scenario of 1984. You don't
need a real war. You only need the pretense of one.

And why would anyone want to so weaken and control a nation like the US?
Because, under the rubric of globalism, every country has to be reduced and
brought down to a lower level of economic and individual functioning, so
that "share and care" elites can continue their moves toward the rule of
the many by the few.

Look at a slice of history. Wasn't the dismal human period called the
Middle Ages just the thing for the Roman Church? Didn't that authority (the
few over the many) thrive in such an atmosphere? And when the Renaissance
reared its head with an accompanying mercantilism---when the individual
human being rose up---didn't the iron control of the Church begin to wane?
