<p>Base on these statistics, the CDC is now desperately urging people to get vaccinated because they claim the pandemic might come back and vaccines are the best defense.</p>
<p>But here&#8217;s the part you&#8217;re NOT being told.</p>
<p>The CDC statistics lie by omission. They do not reveal the single most important piece of information about H1N1 vaccines: How many of the people who died from the swine flu had already been vaccinated?</p>
<p><strong>Many who died had already been vaccinated</strong></p>
<p>The CDC is intentionally not tracking how many of the dead were previously vaccinated. They want you (and mainstream media journalists) to mistakenly believe that ZERO deaths occurred in those who were vaccinated. But this is blatantly false. Being vaccinated against H1N1 swine flu offers absolutely no reduction in mortality from swine flu infections.</p>
<p>And that means roughly 20% of the 11,160 Americans who died from the swine flu were probably already vaccinated against swine flu. That comes to around 2,200 deaths in people who were vaccinated!</p>
<p>How do I know that swine flu vaccines don&#8217;t reduce infection mortality? Because I&#8217;ve looked through&#8230;</p></blockquote>

<p>“Britain has spent a fortune on preparations,” says Paul Flynn, Vice Chairman at the Council of Europe Health Committee. “We have caused a great deal of stress to the population, people are very anxious about it, and we’ve distorted the priorities of our health service. I believe when we have a thorough investigation, and we look at this, we’ll discover that’s the story – the world has been subjected to a stunt for the own greedy interests of the pharmaceutical companies.”</p>
<p>European countries bought billions of dollars worth of vaccine from pharmaceutical companies including Baxter, GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi-Pasteur. Some of the contracts included a clause where governments could get out of buying the drugs if they were no longer needed. But some, notably ones with GlaxoSmithKline, did not.</p>
<p>“We continue to support governments in managing the H1N1 influenza pandemic. This includes ongoing discussions about existing orders for our pandemic vaccines,” reads the officials statement from the company.</p>
<p>Governments all over Europe are now saddled with billions of dollars worth of unnecessary swine flu vaccine. They are trying to sell it, but supply now far exceeds demand. So because governments wanted to be seen to be acting decisively, the European taxpayers have found themselves seriously out of pocket.</p>
<p>Health expert Gawain Towler says pharmas will be pharmas, and it’s governments who should have been less gullible&#8230;</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Most interesting to note in these reports on the victims of this plane shootdown is that the Indonesian man currently being treated for his injuries has ‘<em>confessed</em>’ to Chinese secret police forces that he is a technician employed by the United States Navy at their mysterious Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2 (<a href="http://www.geis.fhp.osd.mil/GEIS/Training/namru-2asp.asp" target="_blank">NAMRU-2</a>) located in Indonesia that Indonesian Defense Minister Juwono Sudarsono had previously called for the closing of <em><a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2008/jul/05/world/fg-virus5" target="_blank">“because its operations were too secretive and were incompatible with Indonesia’s security interests.”</a></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even more interesting to note about this US Navy secret bio-weapons base in Indonesia (the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Indonesia" target="_blank">World’s largest Muslim Nation</a>) was its establishment in cooperation with the <a href="http://www.eugenics-watch.com/roots/chap12.html" target="_blank">Rockefeller Institute</a>, especially with it being the main center for the Americans Viral Diseases Program (<a href="http://www.geis.fhp.osd.mil/GEIS/Training/namru-2asp.asp">VDP</a>) they describe as the research of <em><a href="http://www.geis.fhp.osd.mil/GEIS/Training/namru-2asp.asp" target="_blank">“epidemiologic and laboratory research on viral hemorrhagic fevers, influenza, encephalitis, and rickettsioses”</a> </em>and the head of this institute, David Rockefeller, long <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owaCmHWwCd8" target="_blank">calling for a massive reduction in our World’s population</a>&#8230;</p></blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[In November 2008 I went to Dubai for the inaugural <a href="http://ancient-studies.org/">International Conference on Ancient Studies</a> (ICAS). It was an opportunity to reconnect with Disinformation authors and contributors like Michael Cremo, Robert Bauval and John Major Jenkins as well as to meet other luminaries in the world of ancient mysteries. It also enabled me to visit the Middle East and to see just how vibrant a city Dubai has become.

<img src="http://ancient-studies.org/wp-content/themes/icas/images/bg-header.jpg" title="ICAS" class="alignnone" width="550" />

In February 2010 I'll be returning for the second <a href="http://ancient-studies.org/">ICAS</a>, which again features a stellar lineup including another Disinformation author, Graham Hancock. Needless to say, I'm greatly looking forward to it and this time I'll actually have an official role as MC (but don't let that put you off). I asked a friend of mine who lives there if the recent news about Dubai World would have any impact on ICAS and this was the somewhat surprising response I received, essentially assuring me that the Dubai World debt problem is a smokescreen for something far more serious:
<blockquote>"I doubt it. Not much has changed here and people here just wonder what all the trouble is about. The fuss is about one single company (called Dubai World) who simply said it would delay (not default) its first installment repayment to a couple of international banks by 6 months. The amount is about 4 billion dollars which is a drop in the ocean considering banks in the US and Europe will have to actually write off about 2.8 trillion by 2010. Does it make sense that this rather common occurrence sends world markets crashing down? I mean, in the US alone hundreds of banks and companies actually defaulted since 2007 and hundreds everyday are probably requesting to delay payments in their quest to remain afloat. Even the actual international banks who lent the money to Dubai World are not very worried and are also wondering what the fuss is all about. So why all the fuss? It is a diversion. Something darker is going on and the perpetrators were just waiting for an excuse like this one to play their cards once again...</blockquote>]]></description>

It also enabled me to visit the Middle East and to see just how vibrant a city Dubai has become.</p>
<p><img src="http://ancient-studies.org/wp-content/themes/icas/images/bg-header.jpg" title="ICAS" class="alignnone" width="550" /></p>
<p>In February 2010 I&#8217;ll be returning for the second <a href="http://ancient-studies.org/">ICAS</a>, which again features a stellar lineup including another Disinformation author, Graham Hancock. Needless to say, I&#8217;m greatly looking forward to it and this time I&#8217;ll actually have an official role as MC (but don&#8217;t let that put you off). I asked a friend of mine who lives there if the recent news about Dubai World would have any impact on ICAS and this was the somewhat surprising response I received, essentially assuring me that the Dubai World debt problem is a smokescreen for something far more serious:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I doubt it. Not much has changed here and people here just wonder what all the trouble is about. The fuss is about one single company (called Dubai World) who simply said it would delay (not default) its first installment repayment to a couple of international banks by 6 months. The amount is about 4 billion dollars which is a drop in the ocean considering banks in the US and Europe will have to actually write off about 2.8 trillion by 2010. Does it make sense that this rather common occurrence sends world markets crashing down? I mean, in the US alone hundreds of banks and companies actually defaulted since 2007 and hundreds everyday are probably requesting to delay payments in their quest to remain afloat. Even the actual international banks who lent the money to Dubai World are not very worried and are also wondering what the fuss is all about. So why all the fuss? It is a diversion. Something darker is going on and the perpetrators were just waiting for an excuse like this one to play their cards once again. No one really cares if Dubai World delayed or not their installment, the story was used as a smoke screen and the press fell right into their trap as usual. If you read the news it sounds like suddenly it is not just the company but the city of Dubai and the whole United Arab Emirates that ran out of money, &#8220;oh poor world, we are bound for global bankruptcy now that they have run out of cash&#8221;. Bollocks. But unfortunately journalists are not expert economists&#8230; it is as if everyone forgot that the UAE is the third largest oil producer in the world, selling comfortably millions of barrels at 75 dollars each every single day. It is unlikely they will run out of money for the next 50 years and are sitting right now on hundreds of billions of hard cash. No no, this must be a diversion for something going on elsewhere, but for what?</p>
<p>A couple of sinister things are happening right next to your doorstep. One of them is the Swine Flu scam.  [Note: H1N1 is a fast spreading but very low fatality virus, most probably genetically engineered in a lab. It has killed in 1 year 400% less people than most of the common influenzas we all catch at least once a year yet it is the only one on the red list of the World Health Organization... the recommended treatment and vaccine are both miraculously provided exclusively by Donald Rumsfeld's own companies, one of these is Tamiflu. Another coincidence? Now Tamiflu is also known to reduce your lifespan and has a high chance of causing neurological problems. The probability of getting sick due to the Tamiflu treatment or the new vaccine is higher than actually even feeling the symptoms of H1N1.] The international press sure fell for that one&#8230; but does it need a smoke screen?</p>
<p>Another is the zero support of the new US administration to the peace process in the Middle East. Although Obama probably had good intentions when he gave his speech in Cairo, Hillary practically told the Israelis they could continue the Jerusalem evictions and building illegal settlements wherever they wanted with no fear of punishment. Basically they are evicting Palestinians, Christians and Muslims alike, from the family homes they have occupied for at least 150 years (some for several centuries) saying &#8220;sorry, your title deed is worthless now. This is ours. Bye bye.&#8221; Entire families left with no homes and if they dare complain, they get shot and called terrorists. That might require a smoke screen because Hillary was not able to negotiate with the current nutties in power right now in Tel Aviv. Extremists are all the same, no matter what religion they are from. A smoke screen for failure could be a good reason.</p>
<p>Another one is the other nut case in Iran who is brandishing his nuke card like a child with a new toy. That is turning into a major issue and if not dealt with properly could trigger a third world war&#8230; especially if the nutties in Israel decide to go for preemptive strikes. A very ugly scenario that very few people are currently aware of, which could drag the US, Europe, China and Russia into a very nasty conflict. This might need a smoke screen as well in order to gain some time. It seems the press hasn&#8217;t caught on to this one&#8230;</p>
<p>Then you have your usual conspiracies&#8230; for instance crashing Asian and European markets for a couple of days whilst your market is closed for Thanksgiving can in fact make a very quick buck for those who knew this in advance. Basically, you know the market will only crash for 2 days, you send it crashing with some bogus news, buy the shares cheap and let it recover before it really hurts at home. Bingo, you made a couple of billion.</p>
<p>There could be various other things that may require a smoke screen right now, I just don&#8217;t know them. But for sure, the real issue can&#8217;t be what you read in the papers because that just doesn&#8217;t make any sense.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>During the past several months, H1N1 has infected thousands of people worldwide and has proven to be a highly contagious disease. Attempts to combat the disease have included preventative vaccines and the use of disinfectants to prevent the spread of the disease. However, most of these disinfectants have chemicals that can harm the environment.</p>
<p>In the current study, the researchers found that they could make neutral water acidic by mixing a very small amount of hydrochloric acid into the water. Adding just 22 grams of hydrochloric acid to one ton of neutral water can change the pH value of the water from 7 to 4. As the scientists explain, the negative chlorine ions have a sterilizing effect on viruses, and a strong acidity in general also has a sterilizing effect. </p></blockquote>

<p>We recently ran a <a href="http://www.disinfo.com/2009/11/spanish-doctor-reveals-important-information-about-swine-flu/">story</a> about Teresa Forcades, the doctor and nun at the monastery of Sant-Benet, in Monserra-Barcelona, Spain, with her clear and informative video about the origins of H1N1 flu. The story and video were very popular and many sites linked to it, including <a href="http://spiritdaily.com/vaccinationmore.htm">Spirit Daily</a>, a religious site. But Spirit Daily is very much against abortion, and decided that the Sister&#8217;s pro-choice comments made her persona non grata on their site. Now they&#8217;re <a href="http://spiritdaily.com/vaccinationmore.htm">rethinking</a> that dogmatic decision:</p>
<blockquote><p>We removed a video she made &#8212; circulated on YouTube &#8212; when we learned that despite the holy monastic setting of Montserrat (one of the world&#8217;s oldest sites of Marian devotion), and despite her scientific credentials, as well as her calm manner of presentation, Sister Forcades had spoken publicly in favor of a woman&#8217;s &#8220;right&#8221; to terminate a pregnancy. That had occurred   during Spain&#8217;s recent national debate on abortion and drew   a rebuke from   Cardinal Franc Rodé, prefect for the Vatican&#8217;s Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, who, we learned, had sent a letter to her abbess demanding that Sister Forcades conform to Church doctrine.</p>
<p>In our view, the fact that Sister Forcades held a pro-choice position compromised the trust we could place in her judgment of other matters &#8212; including what she had to say about swine flu. She is author of <em>The Crimes of the Great Pharmaceutical Companies</em>, a book that denounces the political and economic power acquired by the drug corporations. Thus, when it comes to &#8220;Big Pharma&#8221; (as the pharmaceutical giants are known), she is not entirely objective.</p>
<p>But to many, what the nun-physician had to say was galvanizing &#8212; leading to a flurry of e-mails requesting and even demanding for us to repost the video. For in a low-key, methodical, and scientific manner, she mirrored what others in the &#8220;alternative media&#8221; have been asserting, some with legitimate concerns, some with questionable facts, which we will now endeavor to explore: that something unusual is afoot in recent epidemics and vaccinations.</p>
<p>Please bear with us. This is a lengthy article. You may want to print it. Bear also with the technicalities.</p>
<p>The swine-flu &#8220;pandemic,&#8221; charges the nun, is exaggerated and might lead to vaccination with materials that are potentially more dangerous than the flu itself. Included in her concerns is an additive or &#8220;adjuvant&#8221; called squalene, which she says was also an additive in the vaccine suspected of causing illness among soldiers in the first Gulf War. There are also trace amounts of formaldehyde or a compound called thimerosal (which contains mercury). Some believe such compounds have led to allergies and even autism in children given other kinds of vaccines. Thus far, pointed out Sister Forcades, swine flu has a lower mortality than regular seasonal flu, and the questions she raised: why, if it has a low mortality rate, has it been declared such an &#8220;emergency&#8221;? Why has there been the rush to protect the public with an untested vaccine?  &#8230;</p>

<blockquote><p>I spent most of this past spring and summer rolling my eyes every time I heard a news story about the <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/H1N1FLU/">swine flu</a>. Almost every day local reporters got hysterical about 5 or 10 or 20 confirmed cases. Entire schools closed in response to a handful of kids with fevers, and as if there were no war in Afghanistan, no economic crisis, and no other epidemics claiming ten times as many lives, newscasters talked about H1N1 (the proper name for swine flu) for hours.</p>
<p>I have a degree in public health and my work focuses on preventing rape and other acts of violence and supporting survivors in healing from abuse. When I see all the attention swine flu is getting, I’m jealous. Other than intermittent news stories about sex offenders on the loose or why women who accuse professional athletes of rape are lying, sexual violence rarely gets any widespread coverage. Certainly no <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/10/24/h1n1.obama/index.html">state of emergency declared by the President of the United States</a>.</p>
<p>Now, I don’t want to diminish the grief of those who have lost loved ones to H1N1. I don’t even want to question the scientific validity of the Center for Disease Control’s decision to declare it a pandemic. But the fact remains that the impact of H1N1 is far less than that of other public health crises that receive a fraction of the attention and resources. The CDC reported just over 43,000 cases of H1N1 between April and July of this year and estimates that it will <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/surveillanceqa.htm">affect a million people</a>, or 0.3% of the total population of the United States. Compare this to the 2.5% of women and 0.9% of men who <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/SV-DataSheet-a.pdf">reported being raped or sexually assaulted in the past year</a>. The most recent statistics about rape available from the CDC are from last year. Swine flu? Last week.</p>
<p>What would our media, our public discourse, and our institutional responses look like if people cared as much about rape as they do about H1N1?</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Michael Cosgrove writes in <a href="http://www.fleshandstone.net/healthandsciencenews/1662.html">fleshandstone.net</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>In what is being seen as the first of many such actions to come, nine individuals have filed formal charges claiming that the H1N1 campaign is a deliberate attempt to poison the French population.</p>
<p>These charges, which were filed yesterday, could not come at a more inopportune moment for the government and health specialists. The vaccination campaign got underway last Tuesday in a climate of national skepticism as to the vaccine’s safety and efficiency, and this news will surely boost the morale of the increasing number of anti-vaccine lobbyists who are beginning to organize their resistance to any attempt to vaccinate the population against H1N1.</p>
<p>Nine inhabitants of the Isére region of France are cited as joint plaintiffs in the case, including a health sector worker, a teacher and a radio talk show host. They met each other at various public meetings held to denounce the vaccine’s alleged health risks.</p>
<p>The charges take the form of a ‘plainte contre X’ which means that the perpetrator of an alleged crime or felony is not known, or is not named, in the charge sheet. This is a commonly used manner of filing complaints in France, particularly where the charges relate to supposed government implication in alleged breaches of the law. In cases where those trials proceed after prior examination of the facts, the specific persons or organizations concerned are designated and charged as the trial proceeds.</p>
<p>Jean-Pierre Joseph, the plaintiffs’ lawyer, describes the vaccination campaign as “A veritable attempt to poison.” He confirmed that the charges were filed at the High Court in Grenoble before the court’s senior examining magistrate. He said other court cases involving other plaintiffs would begin soon</p>
<p>The various charges filed included one of “Attempting to administer substances…of a nature which could result in death.”</p>
<p>“The aim is to put a stop to what we consider to be an act of poisoning,” according to Joseph. “The interest of this action is that people in France now have a means by which to express their concern as citizens by saying publicly “We are aware that the vaccination campaign is a swindle.”</p>
<p>Similar court actions are planned in other areas of the Isére, as well as in Paris, Pau and Nantes, and several hundred vaccine opponents are beginning to organize themselves on the internet with a view to filing class action charges.</p>
<p>The government and health authorities are currently battling to persuade people to get vaccinated against increasingly difficult odds. Opposition to the campaign has been increasing steadily, and various polls taken over the last few days put the figure for those who do not intend to get vaccinated as high as 70 percent.</p>
<p>Their task is being made even more arduous by the fact that while authorities believe on the one hand that vaccination is essential despite negative public reaction, the French have traditionally proved to be very quick to condemn and file charges in cases where not enough was said to be done to prevent other medical mishaps such as the Mad Cow outbreak and an AIDS contamination case, in which several people died and many more became HIV positive after receiving AIDS-contaminated blood transfusions in hospitals.</p>
<p>That signifies that the authorities have very little room to maneuver and are more or less obliged to continue the campaign in order to avoid similar charges should they decide or be forced to abandon the campaign and high numbers of people die as a result of not being vaccinated.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Julie Steenhuysen &#8211; Analysis</p>
<p>CHICAGO (Reuters) &#8211; Healthcare companies are reaping the benefits of a global swine flu pandemic, brightening what might otherwise have been a dismal third quarter and bringing new focus on the market for vaccines.</p>
<p>Large European pharmaceutical companies are reporting windfall sales from flu drugs and H1N1 vaccines.</p>
<p>Small biotechs are winning fresh attention from investors and governments looking for quick, less expensive ways of making flu vaccines to protect their populations. And diagnostic companies have been growing revenues as doctors order more flu tests.</p>
