I’d finally lost my taste for TV. Its gaudy ads. Its
manufactured news, mind numbing sitcoms and titty-tainment.
I’d successfully avoided TV for the entire year, until one
night my finger strayed onto the button and flicked around
the channels. Graphic footage of dead birds and masked
“health” workers spraying people with chemicals triggered
a bad case of deja` vu.
I recalled the time I’d flown to South America to give a
presentation at an international Human Rights conference.
A few months previously, on March 4th 2003 the first
person had been diagnosed with SARS, a brand new disease.
It was Professor Liu Jianlun, a microbiologist working in
a laboratory involved in secret, government-sponsored work
in China's Guangdong province. (1) Incredibly, he had also
been “researching” the H5N1 virus, now known as the “Bird
Flu”. This was closely followed by two other deaths; a
Singaporean researcher working in a laboratory of the
Singapore Environmental Health Institute and a post
doctoral student working on West Nile virus. Singaporean
Health Minister Mr. Balaji Sadasivan, stated that the
researcher's exposure to the SARS virus "is most likely
linked to that laboratory ... where the SARS virus is
[also] cultured," (2) It made me wonder just how many
bio-hazard labs were in operation and what other new germs
they were engineering.
I’d barely made my flight. My husband and I had been very
busy in our Integrative (wholistic) medical clinic which
offered patients a variety of orthodox as well as
complementary and reliable alternative medical treatments.
People traveled long distances to get treatment for cancer
and other serious diseases. For most it was the first time
they had been able to make lifestyle changes and receive
physical, emotional and spiritual healing. They literally
got a new lease of life. They felt better and looked
better.
Lately, since the media had whipped up fear of a world
wide epidemic, dozens of patients visited the clinic
because they were worried about SARS. The health
department had issued a SARS bulletin to all doctors,
which listed only 3 criteria for making the diagnosis of
SARS; cough, fever and a recent trip overseas. That could
include almost anyone, and I immediately became
suspicious. It troubled me that authorities did not list a
specific disease profile for a brand new illness that
seemed to one minute reside exclusively inside biohazard
laboratories and the next minute allegedly spread into
human populations. I’d also noticed drug company shares
rise from the sale of drugs for respiratory illness. In
our practice we found very few drugs were in fact
necessary for healing and disease prevention. Our patients
who had taken regular doses of vitamins, minerals, omega
oils, antioxidants and other natural supplements had
rarely come down with colds, flu, and other infections. I
hadn’t had a cold or flu for over ten years since I had
started taking regular supplements. After much illness and
many attempts at personal healing, I finally realised the
fact that the only thing that would keep me healthy was a
functional immune system.
The day I boarded the aircraft two passengers were plucked
from Sydney airport and quarantined in a Sydney Hospital.
Media reports showed masked Asian airport personnel
prowling around terminals with fever detector gadgets,
hauling hot and bothered travelers off into quarantine
areas. Having finally made it on board I had a chance to
think again about the emergence of diseases for profit, an
issue which I had just published in my second book “Health
Betrayal”. I thought about AIDS - a previously unheard of
disease entity which emerged in the early 1980’s. A few
years earlier Merck pharmaceutical company had developed
an experimental hepatitis vaccine which was given to gay
men and Africans. By 1980 the AIDS epidemic started in
those populations which had received the experimental
vaccine. (3) Since then the WHO (World Health
Organization) with its close ties to pharmaceutical
companies, has strictly mandated billions of doses of
various types of vaccines to Africans and other third
world residents where AIDS has spread like wild fire.
Governments have vaccinated unwilling populations at
gunpoint. One African activist, Kihura Nkuba writes; “The
enthusiasm of government to give vaccines to a people that
it normally gives nothing [to] was seen as very
suspicious. The forcing of them to take a vaccine against
a disease they know to be harmless and which they know how
to cure in its harmful state was seen as government hell
bent on killing its own population for the benefit of …
white world. All village people know that once you have
recovered from measles you will never catch it again, but
here they were telling people to vaccinate even those who
have recovered from measles. In other villages police
armed to the teeth moved from house to house searching for
children to immunize. In 2002 Nkuba writes after a
vaccination campaign; “…there was one mother who had four
children, and she hid one and took three other children
for vaccination, and three children died and that one
survived.”
It is noteworthy that of over 45 million people afflicted
with HIV/AIDS worldwide, 39 million of them are in third
world countries. In 2003 the average AIDS patient, who
could afford it, paid US $15,000 per year for AIDS drugs
which have not been shown to be effective in the treatment
of the disease. (4)
In late 2001 someone mailed anthrax bacillus to several
key individuals and news organizations in the US. Two
people subsequently died of anthrax. The strain was
identified as originating from Fort Detrick - a military
bio-weapons facility. The anthrax had been weaponised, its
potency increased for use in biological warfare. There are
few facilities known in the world to have that capacity.
They include US military laboratories and a government
contractor. (5) While the mainstream media whipped up anti
Muslim sentiment, drug company cash registers started
ringing. Almost immediately, sales for Cipro, an
antibiotic made by Bayer hit the roof as 30,000 Americans
started taking the drug, just in case. Terrified Americans
thought nothing of paying US $700 for a two month supply
of Cipro despite its potentially serious side effects.
Other generic versions of the drug were available but not
widely publicized. The anthrax scare resulted in lucrative
new drug company contracts to manufacture both anthrax and
smallpox vaccinations for the military and general
population. It also gave rise to the Model State Emergency
Health Powers Act, giving the government wide powers to
quarantine, drug and inject vaccinations into persons at
gunpoint in the event of a “public health emergency” being
declared. Many US states passed this Bill after September
11, which included an exemption to drug companies and
vaccine makers for any vaccine deaths or injuries that
would occur. (16) Public advocacy groups have already
started work on having the Bill repealed, on the grounds
that it is unconstitutional.
On the long flight I had a chance to think about the West
Nile virus (WNV) which first broke out in a poor,
predominately black section of New York City in August
1999, when it had never been known to exist in the US. The
virus had only ever been known in East Africa where it
resulted in a mild disease that did not affect other
animal and bird populations to any significant degree.
However, the new NY strain of the WNV is able to jump the
species barrier. Since the year 2000 over 10,000 wild
birds have died, countless horses, primates and the human
death toll exceeds 146 Americans. Only the most vulnerable
people die however. As many as 200,000 people are infected
and are clinically well, posing a good argument for
keeping the immune system functioning well. The new strain
has spread over most eastern US states. While health
officials claim the WNV virus jumped into the U.S. from
Africa, the new virulent NY strain had been cultured and
engineered in Biohazard facilities for years and sold to
labs around the world.
Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies including OraVax have
made millions in WNV vaccine research and products. Thomas
Monath, Vice President of Research and Medical Affairs at
OraVax, is one of the world's leading arbovirologists. He
became an advisor to NY Mayor Giuliani when the WNV
problem first emerged in the city. Monath had previously
developed genetically engineered vaccines against WNV type
organisms in his capacity as the Chief of the Virology
Division, U.S. Army at Fort Detrick, Maryland. Since the
1950s the U.S. military began developing bio-warfare
weapons at Fort Detrick by cooking up germs from exotic
animal diseases intended to cripple the Soviet or other
enemy economies by killing horses, cattle, birds and swine
with crippling new epidemics. By the 1970s new advances in
genetic engineering allowed the creation of new designer
viruses that jump species barriers and even cause cancer.
Since then many analysts have claimed these germs have
been used for population control as well as commercial
purposes with the assistance of high level US government
agencies.
In fact plagues of animal diseases had badly affected the
UK which had slaughtered almost 4 million animals after an
outbreak of foot and mouth disease (FMD). Wikipedia
defines the disease as a highly contagious but Non Fatal
viral disease, meaning it is similar to the common cold in
humans. If left to their own devices animals recover from
the disease with permanent immunity to it. However
laboratories licensed to manipulate or engineer the FMD
virus can create forms that differ from the wild virus
strain. The UK animals were infected with type O pan Asia
strain, which is not normally found in the UK. Foot and
mouth virus “research” was carried out by Merial Animal
Health. This facility, owned by Merck and Aventis, is also
a vaccine production laboratory located near Pirbright,
Surrey, not far from Britain’s own government Institute
for Animal Health. According to the Sunday Express, a
routine audit into the government’s bio-warfare research
laboratory Porton Down revealed that a container of foot
and mouth virus went missing two months before the
outbreak in early 2001. (7) While it is still unknown who
was responsible for the outbreak, there were certainly
many who profited from it. Merck’s Merial is the leading
supplier of foot and mouth disease vaccine. (8) After the
UK beef market collapsed overnight, Tyson Foods, the US
based largest meat and poultry producer and packer in the
world expanded its international market into the UK. The
outbreak proved to be catastrophic to UK agriculture and
rural families but a lucrative cash cow to multinational
slaughter houses, food processors and pharmaceutical
companies.
My flight arrived at midnight in Panama City, where I
disembarked and waited for another flight to Columbia. I
was tired and wanted nothing more than to get on board and
catch a few hours sleep, but I was about to learn a lesson
about the political benefits of unleashing fear.
Unbeknownst to me, a flight from Tokyo had arrived at San
Jose International airport on red alert after the cabin
crew informed US ground officials of five people aboard
suspected of having SARS. The reason for the alert, as it
later turned out, was that the passengers had simply
coughed. Official fear mongering included few actual facts
about SARS, an atypical pneumonia virus, which had only
ever lived in a bio-lab before it appeared in several
Asian countries simultaneously. Of the alleged 2960 cases
of SARS worldwide, 119 people died, a death rate of 4%
from the virus. In comparison, 3-5 million people are
affected by seasonal influenza virus, having identical
symptoms, resulting in between 250 000 and 500 000 deaths
every year around the world, mainly affecting high risk
groups such as the elderly, poorly mourished or
chronically ill. (10)
Dr. Loraine Day MD, a distinguished US physician states;
“The supposed disorder of "SARS": A.. CANNOT be
distinguished, by its symptoms, from virtually ANY other
mild or severe respiratory disorder! And B. CANNOT be
distinguished by any specific microorganism! If I, a
highly trained physician, CANNOT distinguish SARS from ANY
OTHER type of routine pneumonia based on ANY of the
government's published information, how are lay people
going to do it? “. (12)
The atmosphere seemed unusually tense around the Panama
terminal during the early hours of the morning.
I drank from my bottle of water, and cleared my throat
after the dry air on the plane had irritated it. This
caught the eye of several uniformed health department
personnel scanning the crowd in the transit lounge. I
looked away as I felt two sets of dark eyes scanning me
suspiciously. When a passing crowd of travelers obscured
the officials’ view of me I hastily moved away to another
lounge. Why? Because, new public health legislation around
the world modeled on the US Model State Emergency Health
Powers Act means to allow force in detaining and
quarantining anyone, using the latest disease as a reason,
whether it actually exists or not. That means fasten your
seatbelts travelers, because now flight attendants,
cleaners, teachers, general informants and bureaucrats
will be practicing medicine without a license. Personally,
I’d rather take my chances with a real doctor than an
airport employee.
Bird Flu – Pandemic of Greed
Since my trip I wondered why the first SARS deaths
involved Asian scientists working in a biohazard lab with
west Nile virus and bird flu. The bird flu has made its
rounds yearly, severely affecting Asian countries where
117 people have allegedly been infected and 60 have
allegedly died since 1997. Most deaths occurred in
Vietnam, where scientific facilities are barely adequate
to make a definitive diagnosis.
Prior to 1997, the wild bird flu was a rare and relatively
mild virus affecting only birds. The first case of bird
flu affecting a human appeared in Asia in 1997. Apparently
the wild virus had mysteriously changed to H5N1 strain, a
variety that could very rarely affect humans when
ingesting infected meat or in very close contact with
birds. The “high path” H5N1 strain appeared suddenly and
has been known to be located in many bio-hazard labs
around the world. When the Associated Press reported the
death of a 60-year-old woman allegedly of bird flu, the
U.S. Government halted "all chicken imports from China in
a move to curb the spread of the virus." Shortly after,
the first wave of slaughter began with 1.2 million Asian
chickens. By 2003, 40 million birds had been slaughtered
and Tyson foods, the Arkansas based largest meat producer
and packer in the world has been making steady inroads
into the previously closed Asian poultry market, filling
the gap in production. The “high path” H5N1 strain hit the
Asian countries hardest, such as Thailand, Japan, Vietnam
and China who rely on poultry products for export and pose
a real competition to giant US based meant processing
corporations. These countries have had strong independent
markets catering to domestic poultry needs, traditionally
impenetrable to western imports. Meanwhile the US reported
a “low path” H5N2 outbreak of bird flu in Texas in 2004,
which has not disrupted US exports. Tyson Foods chief
administrative officer, Greg Lee, is reported by Reuters
to have said: "We are seeing and do expect to see some
positive benefit as a result of disruptions in some of the
Asian production," (11) Meanwhile, since May 2005, new
outbreaks of high path H5N1 bird flu strain has cut a
swathe across poultry in Russia, Greece, Holland,
Kazakhstan, Turkey, Romania, Mongolia and Croatia, where
massive poultry exterminations have begun. The poultry
infection near the eastern block has caused widespread
suspicion. A member of the Liberal Democratic faction of
the Russian State Duma, Aleksei Mitrofanov, has said in a
parliamentary speech that bird flu was invented by
Americans who wanted to dominate the world’s poultry
markets. (13)
Dr. Len Horowitz, US independent public health expert
writes; ‘According to USA Today (October 9,
2005), “European health officials are working to contain
the [avian flu] virus, which so far has not infected
anyone in the region.” Although, allegedly “more than 140
million birds have died or been destroyed, . . . and
financial losses to the poultry sector have topped $10
billion.” This propaganda actually admits, “the current
virus, known as H5N1, has not yet mutated to the point at
which it can easily spread from person to person.” In
fact, it is likely to have never spread from person to
person other than during laboratory handling!’ He further states:
“In
not a single case has human-to-human communicability been
confirmed. So long as that remains the case, there is no
bird flu threat to the human population of places such as
Vietnam, much less the United States.”
DR. Nancy Cox, Chief, Influenza Branch, CDC (Centers for
Disease Control) has said during a February 2004 news
conference, “ …As you've already heard, avian influenza
viruses usually do not infect humans.“ Meanwhile, the
prestigious British Medical Journal editorial October 2005
Quotes; “The lack of sustained human-to-human transmission
suggests that this H5N1 avian virus does not currently
have the capacity to cause a human pandemic”. Despite the
scientific evidence to the contrary, US and global health
officials insist on calling the bird flu a human pandemic.
A UN spokesman David Nabarro said in late 2005; “5 million
to 150 million people "could" be killed "if" the virus
mutated and jumped to humans. “ While Health and Human
Services Secretary Mike Leavitt, said in the US Senate;
‘If it isn’t the current H5N1 virus that leads to an
influenza pandemic, at some point in our nation’s future,
another virus will.”
Meanwhile panic is being spread globally. An October 31,
2005 article in the Australian Age newspaper states;
“DISASTER experts from the Asia-Pacific region will meet
in Brisbane today to discuss how to cope with a global
outbreak of deadly bird flu, amid warnings that
international travel would be virtually wiped out in a
pandemic.” While the Canberra Times reported:
“Health
Minister Tony Abbott yesterday said overseas travel would
almost cease for a "significant period" if avian flu broke
out in the region. “ (18) Australia, regarded by some as
the Asia Pacific regional policeman for implementing
global policies, has not had a case of bird flu to date.
Without a sign of a human epidemic, on October 28, 2005
the US Senate passed an $8 billion emergency bill to fund
research, drugs and vaccines, based on no scientific
evidence that bird flu constitutes a significant human
threat and overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The
administration is seeking an additional $6 billion to $10
billion from US taxpayers, according to a current Business
Week report. "President Bush this week asked the leaders
of the world's top vaccine manufacturers - Chiron, Sanofi-Aventis, Wyeth, GlaxoSmithKline and Merck - to come
to the White House on Friday to discuss preparations for
pandemic flu," reports the New York Times in October.
Meanwhile taxpayer billions will also flow into the
coffers of selected pharmaceutical giants such as Roche,
which holds the sole license to manufacture Tamiflu, an
anti viral drug that is meant only for reducing the
symptoms of the seasonal influenza and has never been
tested for use for the bird flu. Thousands of Americans
are lining up for their dose when there has not been a
single case of H5N1bird flu in the US. Without a single
human case of H5N1, Tamiflu is in such demand that a new
US factory is being planned to ensure there is more of the
drug available by the 2006 flu season.
Meanwhile President Bush is discussing the use of the
military to enforce quarantine of suspected bird flu
carriers. The US plans to install a new quarantine station
at Logan International Airport to diagnose travelers.
Preliminary discussions include plans to impose 10 year
jail terms on people who breach orders to stay at home, in
hospital or within their city during an influenza
outbreak. This has resulted in heavy opposition among
independent thinkers. The Boston Globe quotes on October
8, 2005, “On Tuesday, the president suggested that the
United States should confront the risk of a bird flu
pandemic by giving him the power to use the US military to
quarantine ''part[s] of the country" experiencing an
''outbreak." So we have moved quickly in the past month,
at least metaphorically, from the global war on terror to
a proposed war on hurricanes, to a proposed war on the
bird flu.” (14)
Quotes an editorial on Freemarketnews.com:
“President
Bush's recent remarks about mandating vaccinations for
avian flu is further evidence of the militarization of
public health care and would also seem to reflect a
dangerous misunderstanding about disease and palliative
methodologies.” Many qualified doctors would agree,
including Dr. Lorraine Day MD who states; “It is virtually
IMPOSSIBLE to get sick if your immune system is
functioning properly”.
SOLUTIONS – Are Already Here
A Culture Change is spreading around the world, albeit
largely unreported by mainstream media. However, more
people now source their news, and health information from
the internet and alternative new publications than from
the mainstream media which is funded by corporate
advertisers and reflects corporate rather public interest.
Fresh knowledge and truth is blowing a wind of change
through every country, profession, corporation and
corridor of power on the planet. The truth in fact is
astonishingly powerful. It empowers people to act, to
challenge wrongs, to make informed choices, to create
authentic lives, to have better options, to resist
deception, to have; more power, confidence, better
communication, more faith, hope, and love. In contrast to
creating wars, the truth makes for better families, better
communities and more freedom.
For example, it is increasingly known that main stream
medicine is becoming the leading cause of death because it
is dominated by improper drug company and bio-tech
influences. Health professionals and ethical scientists
are now reporting truth in medicine and science from
independent websites and alternative news publications,
and millions are clicking on to get important health and
scientific information. Lawyers are now tracking legal and
Constitutional abuses. Activists and independent consumer
advocates are now reaching millions of people, spawning a
host of information and support organizations, ethical
companies and investment opportunities. Scores of former
main stream journalists are becoming independent,
reporting news on alternative news sites, with some
creating their own popular identities as ethical
broadcasters, investigative writers and filmmakers. This
alternative media is attracting millions of readers each
day who have abandoned mainstream media sources. This has
caused a massive resurgence of grass roots health care,
activism, literature, democracy, family values, morality
and spirituality, which is threatening to rattle the cages
of those in power.
“Things have changed.” Writes Ignacio Ramonet in La Monde.
“…even the “masters of the world” are not free of
trouble... the G8 leaders were besieged and publicly
upstaged by upwards of 200,000 demonstrators…people are
not impressed. Democratic election does not justify
presidents when they betray their electoral promises and
the public interest, or embark on wholesale privatization
… Nor does it entitle them to move heaven and earth to
service the demands of the companies that financed their
electoral campaigns.”
