        When the avian flu scare arrived, no one questioned it. This time, things are different. Those with some brains, a memory and internet ingenuity are on the case. Let’s hope this message gets out.

           Tamiflu is an antiviral medication used to treat influenza. It will be the prime medication sold to protect citizens from swine flu as it was for avian flu. All healthcare workers, military and essential service workers will need a dose available and it will be bought with your tax dollars.Tamiflu is made and patented by Gilead Sciences and Donald Rumsfeld was the chairman of this company before he joined the Bush administration. When the Avian Flu scare flashed across the television sets of Americans, Gilead Sciences stock went through the roof. Rumsfeld refused to sell his stock when he joined the Bush administration and the increase in stock value made him the richest man in that administration. Moreover, Gilead Sciences successfully lobbied a billion dollar contract with the U.S. military during the avian flu scare, giving each soldier access to the drug. Now, with the swine flu scare, the same players are about to make an even bigger fortune. Who are these people? They are all hardcore neoconservatives with a long history of paying for neocon agendas and campaigns and they have far-reaching capabilities to manufacture a media-constructed, influenza hoax. The actual flu may be real, but the panic surrounding it is the product of those who waited for another opportunity to knock, or sneeze.

              The largest shareholder of Gilead Sciences is the FMR Corporation. This company is owned by Grover Glenn Norquist, a well-connected Republican activist with close ties to business and the media. Norquist  was the Executive Director of the College Republican National Committee in the 1980's and he oversaw the transformation of the committee into a conservative grassroots powerhouse for the Reagan administration. His credentials and resume include being a:

-    Lobbyist for Microsoft
-    Member, board of directors, National Rifle Association
-    Member, board of directors, American Conservative Union
-    Member, Council on Foreign Relations (2001)
-    Consultant for Janus-Merritt Strategies, a lobbying firm

             

             As we sit on the eve of a new influenza scare, the question is: will anybody pay attention to the fact that the last influenza scare didn’t become a pandemic, but it sure made neoconservatives rich. Rumsfeld, Norquist and Goldman Sachs (another major shareholder) do not have the general public's best interest at heart. They will manipulate every connection they have in government, media and the health-care industry to make this a financial windfall. I'm not insinuating they created the swine flu itself -they are just capitalizing on a virus that just isn't that much of a threat.

         The regular run-of-the-mill strains of influenza kill more than 35 000 Americans every year and hospitalize another 200 000. Eighty people dying of disease in one of the dirtiest cities on earth is tragic, but it should not be used as an excuse to fill the coffers of a conservative faction that has already ripped off America of every penny it could during its time in office. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bush even stole the cutlery out of the White House before he left. The only hands that need washing are America's; washed of the filthy agenda of neoconservatives willing to exploit anything to make a buck.

1. What is Swine Flu (Swine Influenza)?
Swine Influenza or Swine Flu is a highly contagious acute
respiratory disease of Pigs, caused by one of several swine
influenza A virus. The virus is spread among Pigs by aerosols
on direct and indirect contact. Swine influenza viruses may
circulate among swine throughout the year, but most outbreaks
occur during the late fall and winter months, similar to
influenza outbreaks in humans.
2. Does Swine flu affect humans?
Swine flu viruses that cause disease in pigs very rarely affect
humans. However, sporadic human infections with swine flu
have occurred. Most commonly, these cases occur in person
with direct exposure to pigs, but there have also been
documented cases of human-to-human spread of swine flu.
3. How does swine flu spread to humans?
Swine flu spreads to human mainly through contact with
infected pigs, which shed the virus in their saliva, nasal
secretions and faeces. Limited human-to-human transmission
can also occur in the same way as seasonal flu occurs in people.
Page 3
4. Clinical symptoms for swine influenza?
Presenting with influenza-like symptoms (fever, cough, sore
throat, rhinorrhoea) some patients may also complain of
nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, myalgia and headache. AND
Have a history of travel to affected areas (i.e., Mexico, and the
state of California and Texas in the United States) in the 7
days prior to the onset of symptoms; OR have been in contact
with an ill person who had a history of travel to these areas in
the 7 days prior to the onset of symptoms.
5. How to manage a suspected case?
Any patient, who meets the above case definition, should be
immediately reported to Preventive Service & Communicable

Disease Section – Al Maktoum Hospital (Contact numbers
04-2196797/ 2196773/2196729/2196811) and the case should
be notified through telephone and online notification system.
6. Is there any risk for pandemic event?
It is likely that most of the people especially those who do not
have regular contact with infected Pigs do not have immunity to
swine influenza viruses. If a swine virus established efficient
human to human transmission, it can cause influenza
Pandemic.
6. Is there a human vaccine to protect from swine Influenza?
No, there is no effective vaccine for swine influenza. The current
seasonal influenza vaccine does not protect swine influenza
disease
7. What drugs are available for treatment?
Most of the previously reported swine influenza cases recovered
fully from the disease without requiring medical attention and
without antiviral medicines. The viruses obtained from the
recent human cases with swine influenza in the United States
were sensitive to Oselatmivir (Tamiflu) and Zabnmivir, but
resistant to Amantadine and Remantadine.
Information is insufficient to make recommendation on the use
of the antiviral in prevention and treatment of swine virus

infection.

Obama is just a puppet pushing George Bush's agenda even further so that the New World Order can take over. Has he done anything that he has promised to you dummies since he has been in office?? DUH!!! Geesh people, PLEASE wake up before it is too late. Go to www.infowars.com

It is in the interest of the flu virus to keep the host alive during infection - thereby spreading to more people and spreading throughout the population -

Where new mutations which prove to be fatal occur, the virus quickly evolves with each passing generation to become less dangerous.

There is some evidence of this being the case with "Swine Flu" in Mexico and internationally. This is not being reported in the hysterical reports of the international media.

Let see...the media has dropped the ball, they should be investigating all the deaths in Mexico, instead of devoting coverage to the U.S. It just does not make sense that young health Hispanic adults came down with this so called flu and died. Now if it would have been a few old people along with young health adults and some children then I might be willing to going along with the charade. Get ready you fellow Americans, The pictures in Mexico showing people standing in lines for medical help,  this is SOCIALIZED MEDICINE AT WORK this is what it will be like in the U.S. in the next 5 years if you no who gets their way.

Then the clean-up or sterilization of the schools that are taking place is certain states, Who is paying for this and who are the employeed that have be hired for this farce of a  clean-up. Most of these places have not even seen a case of the flu and their being sterilized.

The thing that puts a flag up on this post is there is so much relating into the Bush side of the story, which is a technique of governance of fascism.  Do not for one moment think that the Obama people are any better because they aren't. Proof of that is the man is doing NOTHING. IF this is such a threat, he would close the boarders, which he hasn't.  Instead he is implementing policies that the Bush Administration and Clinton Administration has put in place for all the police state, martial law, detention camps, forced vaccinations ... or detention.  Part of this plan is also to take down this country economically and offer such socialistic goodies as 'universal health care' aka CODEX.  This technique of governance is communistic.  So we have NO left or Right in reality... that is a hoax just like this pandemic, the two are working together for the depopulation of the planet, and for a total police state.  It is MY opinion that this is a publication that is blinded by the left and has no capacity at the current time to see clearly that there is no left or right, it is a world according to Hegel and his Hegelarian Dialectic.  The other thing that bothers me with this site is the logo.  If you notice, it contains the 'eye of Horus' or the all seeing eye.  Symbolism is something to be watched, for one can tell who is who within the logo.  So I urge you, although this article is informing, it is NOT complete... there are some very nasty things Obama will do... his orders is to destroy America.  Sadly too many are so hypnotised with his sweet tongue, he is bitter for the planet.  BE AWARE... not all is well in Amerika.  BE AWAKE.

“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me”

This is a very ignorant view point for such a potentially life threatening issue. It suggests that due to what happened in the past it is appropriate to just ignore similar threats today. Senseless complaining and conspiracy theories that attempt to oust 'baddies' for the good of the people is not worth getting the flu and dying. Its not heroic to die for such an endeavor, rather, it is stupid.

I think if it were a hoax it's scope would not be to make neoconservatives rich, rather to stimulate spending on a global scale. Rather than link such a hoax to petty liberal hype mongering wouldn't it be more realistic and far less speculative to suggest that it would be in an attempt to ease the global financial woes.

This report only suggests it benefiting the influential of the United States. An Australian owned pharmaceuticals company is currently developing a vaccine especially for 'Swine Flu' and could be solicited by the Australian government to manufacture in excess of 20 million shots. Similar processes are happening in China, with little transparency from China's state controlled pharmaceutical companies, one can only assume that it is happening on a much larger scale and may have already happened.

What the media of the U.S need to understand is that their nation is a diminishing global super power. The influential neoconcervatives like Rumpsfeld, swine as they may be, simply aren't as internationally improtant as they once were. They can't spread their swine flu across the world, and sooner or later they won't even be able to try without the Governtments rubber stamp. (I will leave which particular govenrment up to your imagination. Hint: It's not the U.S. and they love rice.)

First of all, this isn't conspiracy "theory"... everything I said in the article is fact. Read the bibliography for the vetted sources. As to what the effect of causing mass anxiety by blasting us with a hyped up faux-pandemic? I'm willing to bet the anxiety has done more damage to North American's health than the swine flu ever could.

The evidence substantiating "mass anxiety" would be nice.

The vast majority of the general public are informed to a degree where they can see that pandemic or not, most developed countries are equip to cope with such a threat.

It's the liberal media that causes a 'sense' of anxiety and to be quite frank it's generally the less educated people that take this anxiety on board.

I conceid that if this were a hoax, it would be an unnecessary one. As for the comment on North America's health, and more specifically, the in the U.S. It would seem, from my limited understanding of the United State's health system, it's pretty embarrasing compared to other developed countries, wouldn't you agree?

I think  you should agree that the media blasting the public worldwide about an "imminent pandemic" causes mass anxiety. Having worked in the healthcare field, I've seen what this type of media hysteria can do to those suffering from mild to major paranoid schizophrenia. This is a large number of people; way more than will ever be affected by the actual swine flu. Suicides are not uncommon outcomes from something like this present scenario or, for example, when George Bush Jnr. told the world Saddam was harbouring WMDs. I realize this may sound like hogwash if you have never worked in the healthcare industry, but I assure you, it's true. Another fifth of the general public also takes this stuff so seriously it affects their health in very noticable ways. For evidence of this, look at longitutadal studies of the stress levels of New Yorkers following Sept. 11th.  Promoting fear on this massive a scale has very real and very negative repurcussions. And where are we now, btw? The flu is NOTHING like they told us it would be. It's harmless. BUT Gilead Sciences is making big bucks regardless:

This is not a conservative plot as the author claims.  These steps to spread "fear and panic" are being propagated by the liberal, left-wing Obama administration.  Please stop blaming any and all Republicans/conservatives for everything that goes wrong with this country.  Bush and the rest of the Republicans have no say in this matter and he (Bush) had nothing to do with this!  If Obama and the rest of his admistration are not intelligent enough to realize that this is not a pandemic,  but a much milder form of swine flu, then no one else is too blame.  And as you stated, the regular flu hospitalizes 200,000 per year and kills 36,000.  Yet, we are never given this information or presented with these "scare tactics" during the regular flu season!  This is just a clever Obama administration smoke screen to futher increase our national debt by spending billions on a threat does not exist.  It is also a cover to take our eyes off the economy and allow for draconian bills to be passed without much scrutiny that further take away our freedoms and rights and move us closer to a socialist country!  Obama already has put America more in debt in his first 100 days of administration then all presidents combined since Washington!

As I pointed out, the neocons are going to make the financial windfall from all this. Obama has no vested interest in big pharm. companies. Moreover, the "socialism" scare is even more laughable. You have a long way to shift from the right to even call yourselves liberal.

The hoax is so they can railroad all these anti constitutional legislation through congrssional committees. Linda Sanchez HR-1966 CYBERBULLYING ACT, Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., has sponsored H.R. 2159, the Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009... all proposed under cover of the swine flu, among unprecidented censorship on a global scale, as well as youtube.

At some point, everything on this planet will be dead. Why worry so much about mortality. Instead of spending countless hours debating all these conspiracy THEORIES (no hard evidence) You could be watchng after your kids or getting a high colonic. My point is... the government will continue to operate the business end of this country and manage our money until We The People get off our asses and put our feet down and take this country back over and reform the way we do things here. I see everyday millions of posts and magazine articles and TV specials all about people who are TIRED AS HELL of the way this government twists things and takes complete advantage of its people, yet nobody is REALLY doing ANYTHING about it... besides complaining an awful lot.

We have the right to peacefully overthrow the government. It is written in the constitution. If you are THAT damn unhappy with the way things are being run. Then do something about it and convince the country to unf*** itself. Until then, try to enjoy yourself because worrying about these problems and panicking about a little sniffle and cough is EXACTLY what a manipulative, controlling government wats you to do. While we're all distracted with the pig cough, they're probably pulling some deals and contracts that we would normally NEVER allow to go through (if we were paying atention)

Oh, and the REAL REASON the swine flu (or any other virus) scares us so much, is because a virus is something everyone can get... at any time... and die from. If you want to distract someone with panic, just tell them they're dying.

How gullable are we?

I live in friggen NZ OF ALL MuthaF*** places and now we have a origin strain and have started martial law. If anyone watches movies made about outbreak who'd expect all the nice horrific deformities like mutants or just plain ugly.

If anyone doesn't see this as a hoax then ask yourself why we don't have world war 3, Y2K or the rise of the machines? Got to love main stream media.


How is it that europe is safe from the swine virus?

Your own best defense against any virus is YOURSELF not a vaccine. If the virus mutates so will you...simple. Plus, vaccines contain harmful chemicals like mercury that causes autism.We have all been desensitized to think that we are naked without vaccines. All you need is to keep your body's immune system strong with vitamins and minerals and you should be fine. What about Cancer? That should be a pandemic dont u think??? Turn your tv OFF.

That the so called Swine Flu is a hoax comes as no surprise; it was evident to me from the start of its promotion  - I remembered its forerunner, Avian Flu, and saw the same modus operandi at work.  This time the perpetrators gave it a nasty name, "swine flu", guaranteed to strike terror into the minds of the masses and send them running for Tami flu.

But I am grateful to you for revealing WHO is behind it - as soon as you mentioned Rumsfeld it all made sense.
