Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, July 31, 2009

The Washington Post confirmed today that the swine flu vaccine, which is set to be rolled out nationwide this fall in what some fear could ultimately become a mandatory vaccination program, will contain mercury, a toxin linked with autism and neurological disorders.

Pregnant women, children and health care workers will be getting the first of the three vaccinations.

There is some talk of this vaccine, coincidentally developed a mere 8 months before the recent swine flu outbreak, is really a bio-weapon developed at Fort Dix from an 1918 Alaskan corpse.

Why use a designer bio-weapon on non-military? Selective exposure for a second weapon or weaponization?

Striking parallels between the influenza of 1918 and new 'swine flu' through a historical comparison
by admin on April 25, 2009

Count me out.

Swine flu I (Gerald Ford) saw the vaccine kill more people than the allegedly deadly virus.
AIDS I saw AZT kill more people than the allegedly deadly virus. If that is not true, then why is this drug not prescribed anymore and "magically," thanks to science of course, people survive?
Swine flu II now has mercury injected into people to "save" them.
The federal health scare bureacracy needs a friggin investigation and prosecutions for scare mongering to get funding. This is fraud that does not leave people just broke like Madoff. It leaves them DEAD and needs to be reined in.

Diablo,

While some vaccinations do result in induced illness and some, on rare occasions, do more harm than good...I think it's safe to say that vaccines have a commendable overall success ratio. Just look at the Polio vaccine.

I agree, Jeff! I object only to imaginary diseases.
Most vaccines can be made without mercury. The "fast track" mentality that gave us AZT deaths is caused by artificial panic inspired by the same government health drones wanting funding.

I object only to imaginary diseases.


OK - your argument makes more sense now.

Oh, to save zombie the effort, I repost one of his earlier rants against something similar I posted. Note the cool, collected and scientific "logic." as he injects religion into this so as to inflame emotion:

"Global warming exists, as does an HIV pandemic in heterosexual populations and a pandemic of a new influenza virus. You don't wish to acknowledge them because you don't understand these issues well to begin with, and learning about them would challenge your dearly-held political and religious ideologies. You're the lowest kind of fucking moron - the kind of shitbag that chooses to remain ignorant and then wallow in their ignorance. Like a pig revels in its own filth, your kind views a refusal to acknowledge reality as a virtue. Humanity would be far better off without those types..."

And you are the type who would inject mercury into newborns while forcing AZT into AIDS patients. Your reality is a virtue?

Interesting link for those who think AZT was a cure:

www.theaidstrial.com

So why do we ban aspirin for children and look the other way for this AZT mass murder?

I wonder where are the gays from the "Band Played On" era who now hush up about AZT killing them off? You would think this would be considered among gays a mass murder by bureaucracy, but they realize political power is more important than mere justice and equality.
Just like the French Revolution and Soviet Russia: social justice and equality somehow end up killing lots of people when they are elevated to the only virtues.

This will be a set of three vaccinations?

Mercury would make me think twice before getting even one of them.

The disease isn't so much imaginary as a product bioweapons labs run amuck. Remind anyone of the conveniently timed, unsolved Anthrax scare?

After using it harmlessly for twenty years, Saline Solution with thimerosal inflamed my eyes something terrible. As soon as I found a Saline Solution without that preservative, I was back to normal in two days.

So why do we ban aspirin for children and look the other way for this AZT mass murder?

Hmm... I must have missed the study that showed antiretroviral treatment in HIV+ individuals decreased lifespan.

wonder where are the gays from the "Band Played On" era who now hush up about AZT killing them off?

Last time I checked, it was opportunistic infections that kill AIDS patients. That tends to happen when you don't have a functioning adaptive immune system. But maybe I should defer to the wisdom of a crank with no medical or scientific background... yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

You believe something posted on prisonplanet.com? Really?

There's not really much I can say on the thiomersal issue. I can post links to study after study affirming the safety of vaccines that contain the preservative (as I've done before), but it won't matter to the kool-aid drinking crowd of conspiracists that float around this site.

They will believe what they want to believe, facts be damned. If flu were more virulent, it would allow the problem of your stupidity to solve itself... but for now you'll stick around, albeit at the mercy of mother nature.

And by "you" in the above post, I'm referring to Skidmark his band of merry men.

Big pharma: Poisoning you to death for all these years...

From the Wash Post article:

Some of the vaccine will be stored in multi-dose vials containing thimerosal, an antibacterial additive that contains mercury. But there will also be single-dose syringes without thimerosal, a substance that some assert is harmful to children.

MMS Protocol doesn't have mercury:>)

Can MMS reduce my mercury levels?
Posted by: admin in mercury, tags: Dosage, mercury level, Protocol-MMS

I am taking only 2 drops of MMS in the evening, then 10 drops of lime and then water after 3 minutes. Even that small dose and I can barely walk or sit up. So you think this might reduce my mercury levels? Would it be OK to reduce my drops to one drop one time a day since I am having such a horrible time on 2 drops one time per day?

=======

I have a lot of evidence that MMS removes heavy metal including Hg I have done test before and after, after 2 weeks of taking MMS I have gotten good indications of metal removes. It's been very successfully removing it from the body. Also reduce your drops to 1 drop until you get passed the reactions when you feel better start increasing the drops. If you feel bad again lower your dose. you can take the 1 drop 2 times a day and see how that works if it works out ok increase to 2 drops the next day.

Study supports safety of vaccine ingredient thimerosal
Mon, Jan 26, 2009 (HealthDay News) -- A new study offers more proof that thimerosal -- a mercury-based preservative once used in many vaccines -- poses no threat to children's brains. There has been intense debate about whether thimerosal causes autism, a link repeatedly discounted in scientific studies.

The new study included 1,403 Italian children who were given vaccines in the early 1990s and underwent brain function tests 10 years later. Those tests showed no signs of problems and only one case of autism was identified, the Associated Press reported.

The findings appear in the February issue of the journal Pediatrics.

"Put together with the evidence of all the other studies, this tells us there is no reason to worry about the effect of thimerosal in vaccines," said lead author Dr. Alberto Tozzi of Bambino Gesu Hospital in Rome, the AP reported.

The study was welcomed by outside experts.

"It's yet another well-done, peer-reviewed research study that has demonstrated there is no risk of any neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with thimerosal in vaccines," University of Pennsylvania epidemiologist Jennifer Pinto-Martin told the AP.

mercury in haemorrhoid stuff, too...stops the swellin'

How's this for a conspiracy theory:

Dems released the Swine Flu pandemic after the GOP mocked the inclusion of funds for pandemic preparedness in the Stimulus Bill.

(The Hulkster made this up, so there's not really any need to debunk it.)

HULKAMANIA FOREVER

Bani,
Seriously. You really should stop pushing that MMS shit.

AIDS I saw AZT kill more people than the allegedly deadly virus.

Anecdotes don't mean shit for a reason, Diablo. Your personal experiences are statistically insignificant and actual, real data indicates that what you say is opposite the truth.

If that is not true, then why is this drug not prescribed anymore and "magically," thanks to science of course, people survive?

Probably because new drugs have been developed that don't have as many side effects as AZT but are more effective.

Swine flu II now has mercury injected into people to "save" them.

It's not mercury, dipshit. It's ethylmercury which behaves considerably different. And although it is eventually converted to inorganic mercury, it occurs in the liver and is secreted rapidly.

I agree, Jeff! I object only to imaginary diseases.

Oh, really. Swine flu is imaginary? So the scientists at the CDC and WHO have been characterizing an imaginary virus? This vaccine is being made with an imaginary virus? The thousands of people who have gotten sick across the globe had an imaginary disease?

You really should stick to topics that you have more than an imaginary grasp of.

You have no idea how science funding works, do you? Do you have any idea how science ANYTHING works?

My husband took 12 drops and had some reactions, have you heard of these reactions?
Posted by: admin in Cancer and MMS, Dosage, Effects, large doses, tags: cancer, dose, reactions

Dear Jim, I hope you are well. My husband and I were at 15 drops once daily before he left on a trip. He missed a few days and then resumed at 6 or 8 drops a day. I had informed him of the importance of a slow and gradual buildup to 15 drops. Unfortunately, he decided to jump to 12 drops/twice daily from 6. Yesterday evening after his second 12-drop dose of the day, he felt nauseous. We tried apples, peppermint.nothing helped. I was quite concerned as he went through about three rounds of vomiting, multiple times during each round (during a 2-2.5 hr span of time). In total, he probably vomited 9 or 10 times. The MMS was ingested about 1.5-2 hrs after a meal. He is just getting over a cold. Have you ever heard of such a reaction? We are unaware of any illness that might bring on such a strong reaction. Thanks again for all that you do, Jim. We purchased more MMS for my sister-in-law (and your book) and she is thrilled as her husband's PSA levels have increased again. He has undergone various treatments for prostate cancer. Blessings & peace for you always,

Debra

======

Debra, Yes, yes. Many people get that kind of a reaction. It was coming. It isn't something that he caused by going from 6 to 12 drops although that brought it on faster. He's just been digging the microorganisms out from deep in this body. He'll be better now. However, if the apples don't work, try 5000 mg of vitamin C in a glass of water. PSA levels often increase a little before beginning to decrease, however, more prostate cancer cured so far than anything else.

maybe Sen Dodd needs MMS Protocol more than OBamaCare?:>)

Right, some evidence-less claims posted on this snake oil salesmen's website are clear proof of the effectiveness of MMS. There's absolutely NOOOOOOOOOOO way he could just be making shit up.

(in the voice of an 11-year-old)
Oh yeah? Well, some kid who is a friend of my friend, but you don't know him... he kept this bug in his hand for, like, a week... and it laid eggs in his hand and they went into his brain... and, like, he died. But I don't know his name or when this happened. And since he goes to a different school, you can't find anybody who knows him.


Sound familiar? The same scare stories have been circulating since the 5th grade.

HULKAMANIA FOREVER

especially since so many friends of mine have had dramatic experiences of healings from it...ignorance must be bliss, JPW?

This might be newsworthy except that there is no evidence that the mercury containing compounds in vaccines cause autism and the existing evidence (and there is a lot, as these bogus claims have been around for awhile) calls for the rejection of such a causal link.

Maybe this is why so many scientific and medical organizations (AMA, NAS, FDA, CDCP, WHO and many other national and international organizations) have rejected such a link, or MAYBE IT'S A HUGE WORLDWIDE CONSPIRACY!!!!

On second thought, the second possibility seems much more likely...

so amalgams are good for u?

There is far more mercury in six ounces of white tuna than in a typical flu vaccine. At least that's what I got from these articles.

no wonder my pappillon won't eat tuna!

especially since so many friends of mine have had dramatic experiences of healings from it

Considering there is no way to actually tell if the MMS did anything to contribute to the "dramatic experiences of healings," you anecdotes carry as much weight as all the rest-none.

...ignorance must be bliss, JPW?

Better than being fleeced by a snake oil salesmen and going back for more.

Yesterday evening after his second 12-drop dose of the day, he felt nauseous. We tried apples, peppermint.nothing helped. I was quite concerned as he went through about three rounds of vomiting, multiple times during each round (during a 2-2.5 hr span of time). In total, he probably vomited 9 or 10 times.

That's what happens when you poison yourself.

He's just been digging the microorganisms out from deep in this body.

Just like boring a hole into that epileptic's skull helps get the demons out. Did anyone think that his stomach lining and intestinal mucosa are being damaged by the oxidizing agent in your miracle panacea... nah... Humble wouldn't apply a bit of common sense when his profits are on the line.

yeah, really fleeced...FF

My friends paid for these...each bottle has over a years supply...I guess it might work, no? lol

Jim

And you are the type who would inject mercury into newborns while forcing AZT into AIDS patients.

Given the rather obvious alternatives, yes. The fact that you would not makes you either exceedingly ignorant or incredibly depraved. Or both (which would be my bet).

Your reality is a virtue?

Reality is reality. The ability to recognize it and adapt instead of retreating into some sort of magical rightwing fantasyland is a virtue.

I have an idea that Bird Flu, Swine Flu, West Nile and HIV among others are militarized bio-weapons purposefully released on the civilian population to cause panic and forced vaccinations - which are also bio-weapons.

Thank goodness the Anthrax bio-weapon "scare" wasn't predating upon the civilian population! Otherwise Tamaflu stock might have made Rumsfeld a rich bastard... Oh, wait..

Perhaps there is something to be found in following the money?

"I have an idea that Bird Flu, Swine Flu, West Nile and HIV among others are militarized bio-weapons purposefully released on the civilian population to cause panic and forced vaccinations - which are also bio-weapons."

I have an idea that you're paranoid.

Robot, are you fucking serious? Show some proof of that... and before you go linking to some deranged idiot from prisonplanet, keep in mind nobody worth listening to gives a shit about what you have to say unless you can back it up with hard empirical evidence. I could babble on and on about SIV and chimps and sooty mangabeys or migratory waterfowl and influenza viruses, but no matter what I say I won't persuade you. You do not place any value on factual evidence... you value a good yarn over hard science and common fucking sense.

Seriously, yes, I am.

You don't speak for anyone but yourself, so keep that well in mind, particularly when you denigrate "deranged idiot Prison Planet" enthusiasts. You don't need persuasion and I never intended on doing so. Keep your bitchy agenda in your pants and inquire respectfully - I'm a freakin' delicate flower!

If you had been following the anthrax scare you would already know that it's a strain engineered and "stolen" from a United States military base. Investigations indicate from where it came, when it was "stolen" and how it was spun down and charged to become more infectious - a super weapon that was not invented in a cave in Afghanistan. No further investigations needed?

Here's an old, interesting email:

Description: Email rumor
Circulating since: April 2006
Status: Partly true
Email example contributed by Jennie R., April 28, 2006:
Subject: BIRD FLU - US PROPAGANDA!

"Bird Flu"
Do you know that 'bird flu' was discovered in Vietnam 9 years ago?

Do you know that barely 100 people have died in the whole world in all that time?

Do you know that it was the Americans who alerted us to the efficacy of the human antiviral TAMIFLU as a preventative.

Do you know that TAMIFLU barely alleviates some symptoms of the common flu?

Do you know that its efficacy against the common flu is questioned by a great part of the scientific community?

Do you know that against a SUPPOSED mutant virus such as H5N1, TAMIFLU barely alleviates the illness?

Do you know that to date Avian Flu affects birds only?

Do you know who markets TAMIFLU?

ROCHE LABORATORIES.

Do you know who bought the patent for TAMIFLU from ROCHE LABORATORIES in 1996?

GILEAD SCIENCES INC.

Do you know who was the then president of GILEAD SCIENCES INC. and remains a major shareholder?

DONALD RUMSFELD, the present Secretary of Defence of the USA.

Do you know that the base of TAMIFLU is crushed aniseed?

Do you know who controls 90% of the world's production of this tree?

ROCHE.

Do you know that sales of TAMIFLU were over $254 million in 2004 and more than $1000 million in 2005?

Do you know how many more millions ROCHE can earn in the coming months if the business of fear continues?

So the summary of the story is as follows:

Bush's friends decide that the medicine TAMIFLU is the solution for a pandemic that has not yet occurred and that has caused a hundred deaths worldwide in 9 years.

This medicine doesn't so much as cure the common flu.

In normal conditions the virus does not affect humans.

Rumsfeld sells the patent for TAMIFLU to ROCHE for which they pay him a fortune. Roche acquires 90% of the global production of crushed aniseed, the base for the antivirus.

The governments of the entire world threaten a pandemic and then buy industrial quantities of the product from Roche.

Do Drug Companies Secretly Favor a World Flu Pandemic?


By Dr. Mercola

In early May, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius admitted the swine flu virus was not quite the fearsome plague it was widely reported to be in April when the novel influenza A strain (official name H1N1) first emerged in the U.S.

On May 6, Sebelius said:

"We are cautiously optimistic that what we are seeing right now is presenting itself as a much milder virus than the initial cases ... in Mexico."[1]

Ms. Sebelius' remark was likely prompted by the fact the swine flu virus is showing itself to have mild symptoms, quick recovery time, and low incidence of death among the vast majority of H1N1 patients throughout the world (with the single exception of Mexico).

A little over a month later, on June 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) raised its swine flu pandemic alert from a 5 to a 6. [2] Phase 6 is the highest level alert, and reflects the speed with which a virus is spreading not its severity.

WHO actually considers the severity of the H1N1 virus to be moderate, generally defined as an illness requiring neither hospitalization nor even medical care.[3]

Actually, jpw, I used to do that "complex" and "astonishingly difficult" job of writing grant requests. Despite the science hype, it is as difficult as filling out a magazine subscription card.

I call bullshit. If you think writing an NIH grant request is like filling out a magazine subscription card, then either you're full of shit or it just takes you months to fill out your subscription cards. Either that or you the secretary who sends them in after they've been written...

Science is so dependent on government money it tries to pretend everything relating to its endeavors is beyond the peasant's understanding. Bullshit.

Right, we just spend years studying in school and such because anyone can do it, we just enjoy homework. Please. Your average person does not understand most things going on in science today and many of the posts you have posted on science topics indicates you're not too far behind.

Yes, "by artificial panic" the science community funds itself. The first swine flu panic was a profitable fraud. This one is as well.

It's a little early to jump the gun on this one.

Do you even have any idea what goes on in the "science community?" Most basic research is not easily applied to clinical settings and definitely does not drum up money by scare tactics. It does it by showing it is applicable to human disease or biology in some way, but hardly through scare tactics.

It serves only as an excuse for Congress to give drug companies billions. The panic is a fine device to keep the public from questioning.

Uh huh. And it can't possibly be because they want to be prepared. You're probably one of those people who'd bitch no matter what they did-make vaccine and encourage it to be taken, bitch the government is forcing us to do something to make money for scientists and companies, they do nothing, people die, bitch because they didn't see it coming which is what they're paid to do.

So show us how the first swine flu panic was not a fraud, jpw. It was hyped, millions of our dollars were spent and no more people died than an average flu season, from the virus at least. The vaccine killed more.

You can continue to compare it to the previous one, but it only serves to show you really are a peasant who doesn't understand what they're talking about.

So I am a peasant...but you can not show me the first swine flu panic was not a fraud?
The last major REAL flu epidemic we had was Spanish Influenza at the turn of the LAST century around WWI (that's World War One for all you science and business majors who never read a history book). Isn't this grant-panic con job getting even a little stale in your mind afer a century of bullshit?
It is such an obvious con job at least the business majors might pick up on it.
I guess you must make your living off the annual flu panic, or it would not enrage you so much, jpw. Which drug company do you work for, or is it NIH or CDC?

BTW, I am STILL waiting for all my heterosexual acquaintences to start dying of the "heterosexual AIDS pandemic" I have been PROMISED by the "enlightened" scientific health scam bureaucracy is "inevitable" since they first spun that bullshit in the 1980s.
We peasants await your enlightened response, jpw.
Nothing but panic for dollars. Unfortunately, those dollars are stolen from me and given to frauds with letters after their names vaguely resembling the letters they use to describe diseases.

So I am a peasant...but you can not show me the first swine flu panic was not a fraud?

You're asking me to defend something that I've never given my opinion on and which, quite frankly, is irrelevant.

The last major REAL flu epidemic we had was Spanish Influenza at the turn of the LAST century around WWI (that's World War One for all you science and business majors who never read a history book). Isn't this grant-panic con job getting even a little stale in your mind afer a century of bullshit?

Not true.

www.cdc.gov

But I'm sure those were all just scares propagated by greedy, beady eyed evil scientists hell bent on pilfering the public coffers.

And has it crossed your mind that the reason 1918 was the last "major REAL" pandemic is because we were no longer in the dark as to the causes, methods of spreading and treatments for influenza viruses? That same sentiment holds true for most of the diseases that used to run rampant in humans.

I guess you must make your living off the annual flu panic, or it would not enrage you so much, jpw.

No, what enrages me is people who clearly have little to no actual knowledge of virology, immunology or even biology in general bashing the integrity of a group of people who spend their entire careers toiling away anonymously, trying to improve the lives of ungrateful ignorant people such as yourself. That's not to say they're above criticism, but claiming they do it for the money is lunacy and insulting.

Which drug company do you work for, or is it NIH or CDC?

HA I wish, then maybe I'd make a real living. Besides, I don't even work with influenza viruses.

BTW, I am STILL waiting for all my heterosexual acquaintences to start dying of the "heterosexual AIDS pandemic" I have been PROMISED by the "enlightened" scientific health scam bureaucracy is "inevitable" since they first spun that bullshit in the 1980s.
We peasants await your enlightened response, jpw.

That's because you're one of those fools who things a pandemic means people are lying dead in the streets, stricken down as they walk blah blah blah.

HIV is a pandemic. It is infecting large numbers of heterosexual individuals. Part of the reason your expectations haven't been met is also largely due to the fact that you live in a country where HIV has been relatively well controlled by the public health infrastructure. Move to China, India or Africa and I'm sure you'll change your tune.

Nothing but panic for dollars. Unfortunately, those dollars are stolen from me and given to frauds with letters after their names vaguely resembling the letters they use to describe diseases.

How exactly were they stolen from you? Taxes? Are taxes only stealing when they're spent on something you disagree with?

Admit it or not, you've benefited greatly from our country's investments in biomedical research conducted by those you impugn as "frauds."

Feel free to stop reaping those benefits. It's been nice knowing you.

And the first swine flu panic under Ford was not a fraud, jpw? Wait....wait....wait....Guess you agree.
But this one must be real? And the heterosexual AIDS pandemic we peasants were promised?
Your integrity? We "ignorant" people await enlightenment, oh master!

And the first swine flu panic under Ford was not a fraud, jpw? Wait....wait....wait....Guess you agree.

I wouldn't call it a fraud. They called the shot, it was the wrong call and they got burned. Better than sitting on their thumbs.

But this one must be real? And the heterosexual AIDS pandemic we peasants were promised?

What does "real" mean? You see things too black and white I guess to understand that this is a dynamic situation that is not completely developed.

And again, HIV is a pandemic and is rampant in heterosexuals. Because you have a lay understanding of what "pandemic" means doesn't mean the scientists were/are wrong.

Your integrity? We "ignorant" people await enlightenment, oh master!

No, not you ignorant "people," just you. You're the only one showing your ignorance on this board tonight.

Don't come to me for enlightenment, pick up a book and learn it just like everyone else does. It's the only way you'll be taken seriously.

BTW-what exactly was your role in grant submission and was it hard science grants from something like the NSF or NIH?


I asked jpw: And the first swine flu panic under Ford was not a fraud, jpw? Wait....wait....wait....Guess you agree.

jpw answers:
"I wouldn't call it a fraud. They called the shot, it was the wrong call and they got burned."

jpw finally tells the truth:
"Don't come to me for enlightenment,"

jpw finally reveals his strict scientific standard of reasoning:
"What does "real" mean?"

Do you actually have something useful to say? Or will you just continue to nip and my heels?

jpw finally reveals his strict scientific standard of reasoning:
"What does "real" mean?"

Well, what exactly do you mean by it?

I mean you should PROVE a REAL flu epidemic before stealing money from your neighbors to "cure" it.
I mean....none of my heterosexual friends and neighbors have yet to die of the promised heterosexual AIDS pandemic, jpw. What part of the above can't you understand?
The health bureaucracy lies to get money, It creates panic (e-bola was my favorite) to get millions. It is PH.D welfare.


I mean you should PROVE a REAL flu epidemic before stealing money from your neighbors to "cure" it.

Diablo, what would it take for you to think there is a "real" flu epidemic? What exactly has NOT been done that needs to be done before it can be "real?"

And vaccines don't cure diseases, they prevent them, which is exactly why some feel it necessary to get one out NOW for this new virus before it grows beyond the point of no return.

I mean....none of my heterosexual friends and neighbors have yet to die of the promised heterosexual AIDS pandemic, jpw. What part of the above can't you understand?

You do realize that if you look up the definition of the word "pandemic," you will not see "when a disease becomes so widespread it is killing Diablo's friends and neighbors." Just because you don't know anyone who's contracted or died from HIV doesn't mean it isn't happening.

The health bureaucracy lies to get money, It creates panic (e-bola was my favorite) to get millions. It is PH.D welfare.

You've yet to point out a single lie. So do so or else take the mantle of "liar" on to yourself. And no, a false prediction is not a lie.

You still haven't said what role you played in grant writing or submission.

Hee-hee! The last swine flu fraud was not a fraud, right? But I have not pointed out a "single lie?" You rage about the heterosexual "AIDS pandemic," but only assert it is true without posting real casualty figures. Real ones, not "global warming" mentality predictions, jpw. Post the casualty figures. Start with the USA casualties. C'mon! The predictions were in the 1980's (made by the "enlightened" scientists in our beloved leader health bureaucracy who happen to have reaped billions of tax dollars by saying so) we would all be dead.

"Diablo, what would it take for you to think there is a "real" flu epidemic?"

How about an actual epidemic rather than a rash of money spending on drug companies and Ph.D welfare for an unproved threat?

And the details of my resume are none of your business, especially since you dodged my question about yours first.

How about an actual epidemic rather than a rash of money spending on drug companies and Ph.D welfare for an unproved threat?

Speaking of not posting any real information to back your assertions.

I would assert that you don't understand what your talking about yet again given the above statement. Let me help you try to understand some.

The definition of endemic:
dictionary.reference.com

The definition of epidemic:
dictionary.reference.com

The definition of pandemic:
dictionary.reference.com

So endemic < epidemic < pandemic with the upgrade from epidemic to pandemic being simply the breadth of geographical distribution of a disease that is not normally present (ie endemic) to the population. Is the swine flu H1N1 normally present in the human population? No, therefore it epidemic. Is it spread over a large geographical area and still spreading, yes, therefore it is a pandemic.

As for being an "unproved threat," you can't wait until it's proven. With something as transmissible and potentially deadly as influenza, you HAVE to be proactive. Reactive is not an option as it will only fail, hence the reason for the push for a vaccine.

I openly admit that this may fizzle and could amount to nothing; however, it could also explode and be disastrous. When dealing with something like this, you have to plan for the worst and hope for the best, which appears to be what the world public health professionals are doing.


And the details of my resume are none of your business, especially since you dodged my question about yours first.

That's fine, I understand.

Although I didn't dodge your question. You asked what pharm company I worked for or was it NIH or CDC. I answered your question and stated I work for none of the above.

You rage about the heterosexual "AIDS pandemic," but only assert it is true without posting real casualty figures. Real ones, not "global warming" mentality predictions, jpw. Post the casualty figures. Start with the USA casualties. C'mon!

www.cdc.gov

I'm sure you won't be happy with that though and we'll have to agree to disagree. You want something concrete, black and white and public health doesn't work that way. Numbers are always under reported and your target is always moving.

You may also take issue with it because the numbers aren't high enough for you and therefore don't fit with what you THINK an epidemic or pandemic are. However, by the real definitions, HIV is pandemic.


The predictions were in the 1980's (made by the "enlightened" scientists in our beloved leader health bureaucracy who happen to have reaped billions of tax dollars by saying so) we would all be dead.

I am 110% positive that that is your highly cynical interpretation of what was actually said. If not, post the link with the statement where public health officials and scientists milked billions of dollars from tax payers by claiming we'd all be dead. If it happened, I'm sure there is a link that exists, right?

No, what enrages me is people who clearly have little to no actual knowledge of virology, immunology or even biology in general bashing the integrity of a group of people who spend their entire careers toiling away anonymously, trying to improve the lives of ungrateful ignorant people such as yourself. That's not to say they're above criticism, but claiming they do it for the money is lunacy and insulting.

"Which drug company do you work for, or is it NIH or CDC?"

HA I wish, then maybe I'd make a real living. Besides, I don't even work with influenza viruses.

Died 2005

#79: Leonid Strachunsky. Died: June 8, 2005 after being hit on the head with a champagne bottle. Strachunsky specialized in creating microbes resistant to biological weapons. Strachunsky was found dead in his hotel room in Moscow, where hed come from Smolensk en route to the United States. Investigators are looking for a connection between the murder of this leading bio weapons researcher and the hepatitis outbreak in Tver, Russia.

#78: Robert J. Lull, age 66. Died: May 19, 2005 of multiple stab wounds. Despite his missing car and apparent credit card theft, homicide Inspector Holly Pera said investigators aren't convinced that robbery was the sole motive for Lull's killing. She said a robber would typically have taken more valuables from Lull's home than what the killer left with. Lull had been chief of nuclear medicine at San Francisco General Hospital since 1990 and served as a radiology professor at UCSF. He was past president of the American College of Nuclear Physicians and the San Francisco Medical Society and served as editor of the medical society's journal, San Francisco Medicine, from 1997 to 1999.

Kauppila was fired by director Pete Nanos on Sept. 23, 2004 following a security scandal. Kauppila said he was fired because he did not immediately return from a family vacation during a lab investigation into two classified computer disks that were thought to be missing. The apparent security breach forced Nanos to shut down the lab for several weeks. Kauppila claimed he was made a scapegoat over the disks, which investigators concluded never existed. The mistake was blamed on a clerical error. After he was fired, Kauppila accepted a job as a contractor at Bechtel Nevada Corp., a research company that works with Los Alamos and other national laboratories. He was also working on a new Scatter Reduction Grids in Megavolt Radiography focused on metal plates or crossed grids to act to stop the scattered radiation while allowing the unscattered or direct rays to pass through with other scientists: Scott Watson (LANL, DX-3), Chuck Lebeda (LANL, XTA), Alan Tubb (LANL, DX-8), and Mike Appleby (Tecomet Thermo Electron Corp.)

#41: 'Dr. Roger' Died: Summer 2003. 'Roger' was pseudonym for this genetics scientist. He was 17 and lived in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 when the unexplained object crashed. He told a woman he worked with in 1977 named 'Kate' while employed by the Navy, who he helped to clean up the crash site of the 1947 UFO. He subsequently went to work for the government at this young age and ended up a geneticist working in China Lake for the Navy. Although he lived in fear and hiding soon after he told his story to Kate, he retired in late 1990s or early 2000's and she saw him again once in early 2002 in San Diego. He told her she was in danger to talk to him and he left the store. In 2003 she received a phone call from his 'friend' who said he had been executed in his retirement home in Connecticut. The body had been removed by a black government looking vehicle. The home had been cleaned up and the body removed without any public notices of his death or existence. Many disfigured and abnormal animals were found in the desert near Groom Lake during his time there and after. Kate thought he might have been doing this gruesome experimental work.

#40: Carlo Urbani, age 46. Died: in April 2003 in Bangkok from SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) - the new disease that he had helped to identify.

While taking delivery of a pizza, Tanya Holzmayer was shot and killed by a colleague, Guyang "Mathew" Huang, 38, who then apparently shot himself. Holzmayer moved to the US from Russia in 1989. Her research focused on the part of the human molecular structure that could be affected best by medicine. Holzmayer was focusing on helping create new drugs that interfere with replication of the virus that causes AIDS. One year earlier, Holzmayer obeyed senior management orders to fire Huang. Huang appeared from behind the deliveryman. He shot Holzmayer several times at close range in the chest and head. As Holzmayer fell in her doorway, Huang ran to a Ford Explorer and drove away. Less than an hour after the shooting, Huang called his wife, according to Foster City Police Capt. Craig Courtin. He told her about the shooting and that he was going to kill himself, then he hung up. Huang's wife called the emergency services and Foster City police used search dogs to comb the area. They ran into a jogger who had seen Huang's body lying off the walkway that locals call "The Levee." He had fired a single bullet into his head.

Died 2001

#29 Dr. Benito Que, age 52. Found: November 12, 2001. Died: December 6, 2001. Found Comatose from what was called a mugging. Died later in hospital. Found in the street near the laboratory where he worked at the University of Miami Medical School. Among Dr. Que's friends and family there is firm belief that Dr. Que was attacked by four men, at least one of whom had a baseball bat. Dr. Que's death has now been officially ruled "natural", caused by cardiac arrest. He was a cell biologist, involved in research on aids, oncology research in the hematology department.

#28: Dr. Vladimer Pasechnik, age 64. Died: December 23, 2001. Found dead in Wiltshire, England, a village near his home. Two different dates have been reported: November 21 and December 23. Death ruled stroke. He had defected from Russia to UK. He had been the #1 scientist in the FSU's bioweapons program. It was thought he was involved with exhuming the bodies of the 10 London victims of the 1919 Type A flu epidemic. Pasechnik died six weeks after the planned exhumations were announced. On November 23, 2001, Pasechnik's death was reported in the New York Times as having occurred two days earlier. Pasechnik's death was made in the United States by Dr. Christopher Davis of Virginia, who stated that the cause of death was a stroke. Dr. Davis was the member of British intelligence who de-briefed Dr. Pasechnik at the time of his defection. Pasechnik was heavily involved in DNA sequencing research. He had just founded a company like three other microbiologists working to provide powerful alternatives to antibiotics. Dr. Vladimir Pasechnik was the boss of William C. Patrick III who holds 5 patents on the militarized anthrax used by the United States. Patrick is now a private biowarfare consultant to the military and CIA. Patrick developed the process by which anthrax spores could be concentrated at the level of one trillion spores per gram. No other country has been able to get concentrations above 500 billion per gram. The anthrax that was sent around the eastern United States last fall was concentrated at one trillion spores per gram.

#27: Dr. Don Wiley, age 57. Vanished: December 16, 2001. Molecular Biologist with Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Harvard University, top Deadly Contagious Virus expert, abandoned rental car was found on the Hernando de Soto Bridge outside Memphis, TN. He was heavily involved in research on DNA sequencing, and was last seen at around midnight on November 16, leaving the St. Jude's Children's Research Advisory Dinner at The Peabody Hotel in Memphis, TN. Associates attending the dinner said he showed no signs of intoxication, and no one has admitted to drinking with him. Body found floating one month later. Workers at a hydroelectric plant in Louisiana found the body of Don Wiley on Thursday, about 300 miles south of where the molecular biologist was last seen on Nov. 18 at a medical meeting in Memphis. On January 14, 2002 (almost two months later) Shelby County Medical Examiner O.C. Smith announced that his department had ruled Dr. Wiley's death to be "accidental"; the result of massive injuries suffered in a fall from the Hernando de Soto Bridge. Smith said there were paint marks on Wiley's rental car similar to the paint used on construction signs on the bridge, and that the car's right front hubcap was missing. There has been no report as to which construction signs Dr. Wiley hit.

#26: Dr. Set Van Nguyen, age 44. Died: December 14, 2001. Found dead in the airlock entrance to the walk-in refrigerator in the laboratory he worked at in Victoria State, Australia. The room was full of deadly gas which had leaked from a liquid nitrogen cooling system. Room was vented. Working on a vaccine to protect against biological weapons, or a weapon itself. In January, 2001, the magazine Nature published information that two scientists, Dr. Ron Jackson and Dr. Ian Ramshaw, using genetic manipulation and DNA sequencing, had created an incredibly virulent form of mousepox, a cousin of smallpox and Dr. Nguyen had worked for 15 years at the same Australian facility. Now for the intriguing part of this story. On Friday, November 2nd, the Washington Post reported: "Officials are now scrambling to determine how a quiet, 61-year-old Vietnamese immigrant, riding the subway each day to and from her job in a hospital stockroom, was exposed to the deadly anthrax spores that killed her this week. They worry because there is no obvious connection to the factors common to earlier anthrax exposures and deaths: no clear link to the mail or to the media.

#25: Dr. David Schwartz , age 57. Died: December 10, 2001. Murdered by stabbing with what appeared to be a sword in rural home Loudon County, Virginia. His daughter, who identifies herself as a pagan high priestess, and three of her fellow pagans have been charged. He was extremely well respected in biophysics, and regarded as an authority on DNA sequencing. Three teens that were into the occult were charged with murder in the slashing death.

I do apologize for posting the entire list, but it was updated with 2007-2009 data that I felt is relevant and got carried away.

Okay, so if we were to look up a few of these and confirm that they were murdered in every instance what does that mean? That scientists relevant to investigating my bio-weapons allegations are being eliminated purposefully, methodically and most brutally to avoid exposing the virus' true nature?

#84 August 'Gus' Watanabe helped lead Eli Lilly out of crisis

E.R. Squibb and Sons of New Brunswick, N.J., was bought by Bristol-Myers of New York. Marion Merrill Dow of Kansas City was bought by Hoechst AG of Germany, which merged four years later into Aventis, which later became Sanofi-Aventis. Ciba-Geigy Ltd. and Sandoz Ltd., both of Switzerland, combined to form Novartis.

Lilly executives have resisted joining the M-and-A parade, saying such deals often have weakened the combined companies and destroyed shareholder value.

Watanabe oversaw Lilly's research labs worldwide for nearly a decade before he retired in 2004. He had built such a reputation for scientific accomplishment and business leadership that he became a counselor to inventors and entrepreneurs. As chairman of BioCrossroads, a private group that nurtures new life-sciences companies, he was widely sought out for his industry connections and business advice. He also persuaded venture capitalists around the nation to invest in biotech startups here.

"Without Gus, you wouldn't have had the really sophisticated venture capital firms showing up here and looking at companies," said David Johnson, president and CEO of BioCrossroads.

Watanabe, 67, died Tuesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound outside a cabin in Brown County. Authorities ruled the death a suicide and said he was depressed over the death last month of his daughter.

Leaders around Indiana said Watanabe played a critical role for years as a researcher, business executive and counselor.

"Gus was so central in knitting that together, and that's really what I suppose is the great legacy, and that won't go away," said Gov. Mitch Daniels.

Dead Reckoning
It's been six months since John Mullen was served up an arsenic cocktail. So whodunit?

You don't see too many arsenic-poisoning homicides these days, so it came as an unsettling surprise when a St. Louis county toxicologist determined in mid-December that John Mullen had been served up a killing dose inside his swank, bluff-top home in Chesterfield. Even more surprising was how long it took to officially conclude the death was a homicide: nearly five and a half months.

"I have no idea why it took so long," says St. Louis county medical examiner Mary Case. "To determine whether something tests negative takes two to three weeks, and if it's positive it usually takes four weeks."

Michael Graham, chief medical examiner for the city of St. Louis, is inclined to agree. "These laboratory tests [to detect arsenic] are relatively complicated, but this did take a rather long time," concedes Graham, who performed the autopsy on Mullen.

The 67-year-old Mullen was a well-liked physicist and research scientist at the old McDonnell Aircraft Corporation (now the Boeing Company). He retired in 1999 but remained active as a Boeing consultant. An avid pilot, Mullen co-owned Creve Coeur Airport for nearly twenty years. The father of two grown sons, he'd divorced long ago but had a girlfriend whose daughter was staying at his home at the time of his death.

"He was a really nice guy, a wonderful person, and this was quite a shock," recalls John Cournoyer, one of Mullen's partners at the airport. "There was nothing to indicate there were any problems [at home]."

"This whole thing is bizarre," agrees Al Stix, another airport partner. "I'm still flabbergasted. You just want to know who did it." Stix adds that Mullen was always "very careful about his health," not wanting to lose his pilot's license for medical reasons. "John worked twenty hours a day. He was the most industrious guy I've ever known. He was a very happy, 'up' sort of person."

On the morning of June 29, 2004, Mullen called 911 and said he was feeling very sick. A Chesterfield police officer was dispatched to his home, which overlooks Gumbo Cemetery near the intersection of Long and Wild Horse Creek roads. Paramedics whisked Mullen to St. John's Mercy Medical Center, where investigators were able to interview him. He died later that day.

Police immediately ruled out the possibility of suicide. At a mid-December news conference, Captain Ed Nestor of the Chesterfield Police Department revealed the toxicology findings and declared the case a homicide. Police, he said, looked into Mullen's life-insurance policy and beneficiaries.

Nestor also took the time to single out the work of the officer who had responded to Mullen's 911 call. The officer, Nestor noted, had sensed something about the victim's symptoms that led him to believe the man had been poisoned. (The symptoms of arsenic poisoning include excessive saliva, difficulty swallowing and gastric hemorrhage. As the poison's effects progress, the victim may experience a seizure that usually results in death.) The officer "gathered evidence" at the scene that "turned out to be very helpful. The case certainly would have gone a different way if he had not done it."

Aside from those revelations, however, Nestor was vague -- so vague, in fact, that he declined to name the evidence-gathering cop.

A month later the Chesterfield police captain is still playing it close to the vest. Nestor declines to identify the heroic officer or to comment on any aspect of the case for this story. "I'm a media-friendly guy," he says. "But getting a successful prosecution is what I'm trying to do."

Authorities Search For Missing Harvard Virus Specialist
Saturday, November 24, 2001

BOSTON The FBI is monitoring the investigation into the disappearance of a Harvard biologist because of his research into potentially lethal viruses, including Ebola.

Dr. Don C. Wiley, 57, was last seen in Memphis, Tenn., where he attended the annual meeting of the Scientific Advisory Board of the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. His car was found on Nov. 16 on a bridge over the Mississippi River, with a full fuel tank and the key in the ignition.

Wiley had left the Peabody Hotel just four hours before the rental car was discovered. He was supposed to have met his wife and two children that same day in Cambridge, Mass.

FBI agents took an interest in Wiley's disappearance because of his expertise and "given our state of affairs post-Sept. 11," FBI agent William Woerner in Memphis told The Boston Globe.

Wiley, a Harvard biochemistry and biophysics professor, is considered a national expert on Ebola, HIV and influenza. Ebola is a highly contagious virus that kills 50 to 90 percent of its victims; there is no vaccine.

In 1999, Wiley and another Harvard professor, Dr. Jack Strominger, won the Japan Prize for their discoveries of how the immune system protects humans from infections.

Wiley's wife, Karen Valgeirsdottir, doesn't think his disappearance is related to his work because most of it is available in books and on the Internet.

"That just doesn't seem plausible," she said.

Wiley's sister-in-law, Susan Wiley, who lives in the Memphis area, has said it is uncharacteristic for Wiley not to leave a note. Days before his disappearance, he left a note for his 85-year-old father telling him when he planned to return from a jog, she said.

ANTHRAX COVER-UP?
We know who the suspects are so why no arrest?

..
FBI TAKES A PASS

While FBI spokesman Chris Murray confirmed that Assaad was not under suspicion, he also stated to reporters that the FBI is not trying to find out who sent the anonymous hate-letter which the FBI won't show to Assaad. The odd timing of the letter sent after the anthrax letters were mailed, but before their deadly contents were known doesn't even have them mildly curious.

WHERE THE ANTHRAX TRAILS LEADS

Rosenberg believes that the poison-pen missive was written by the real perpetrator of the anthrax attacks, who sought to ride the wave of anti-Arab, anti-Muslim hysteria that swept the nation after 9/11. This also fits the pattern of masquerade that characterizes the anthrax letters to NBC, Daschle, Leahy, et al, with their anti-Israel, pro-Muslim slogans neatly printed in block letters. Indeed, the one thread that seems to run throughout this story is anti-Arab animus, as the astonishing and truly frightening story of what happened at Ft. Detrick in the early 1990s makes all too clear.

IT CAME FROM FT. DETRICK

Things were turning up missing at AMRIID, and Lt. Col. Michael Langford was baffled. He suspected that someone was tampering with records, perhaps in order to conduct unauthorized research. He told a lab technician to "make a list of everything that was missing," and "it turned out that there was quite a bit of stuff that was unaccounted for," 27 sets of specimens, including anthrax, hanta virus, simian AIDS virus "and two that were labeled 'unknown' an Army euphemism for classified research whose subject was secret," as this chilling Hartford Courant story by Jack Dolan and Dave Altimari puts it. One set of specimens has since been found: the rest are still missing.

CAUGHT ON TAPE

An investigation was launched that exposed the shockingly lax security measures at the lab, and raised the possibility that some specimens may never have been entered in lab records. Also uncovered was a tape from a surveillance camera showing the entry of an unauthorized person into the lab, at 8:40, on January 23, 1992, let in by Dr. Marian Rippy, lab pathologist. The night visitor was Lt. Col. Philip Zack, a former employee who had left as a result of a dispute with the lab over his alleged harassment of Dr. Assaad. The Courant reports:

"Zack left Fort Detrick in December 1991, after a controversy over allegations of unprofessional behavior by Zack, Rippy, [lab technician Charles] Brown and others who worked in the pathology division. They had formed a clique that was accused of harassing the Egyptian-born Assaad, who later sued the Army, claiming discrimination."

THE KAMEL KLUB KIDS

According to Assaad, in the week before Easter 1991, he found a poem in his mailbox, described in another Courant story:

"The poem, which became a court exhibit, has 235 lines, many of them lewd, mocking Assaad. The poem also refers to another creation of the scientists who wrote it a rubber camel outfitted with sexually explicit appendages. The poem reads: 'In (Assaad's) honor we created this beast; it represents life lower than yeast.' The camel, it notes, each week will be given 'to who did the least.' The poem also doubles as an ode to each of the participants who adorned the camel, who number at least six and referred to themselves as 'the camel club.' Two Dr. Philip Zack and Dr. Marian Rippy voluntarily left Fort Detrick soon after Assaad brought the poem to the attention of supervisors."

Charming, eh? This kind of organized harassment has an ideological edge to it not completely attributable to personal antipathy, and seems politically inspired, a possibility that is intriguing given the political repercussions of the anthrax scare.
..

Jewish Suspect in Anthrax Attacks
Meet Dr. Phillip Zack

..
Late-Night Research

More troubling to Langford than the missing specimens was what investigators called "surreptitious" work being done in the pathology lab late at night and on weekends.

Dr. Mary Beth Downs told investigators that she had come to work several times in January and February of 1992 to find that someone had been in the lab at odd hours, clumsily using the sophisticated electron microscope to conduct some kind of off-the-books research.

After one weekend in February, Downs discovered that someone had been in the lab using the microscope to take photos of slides, and apparently had forgotten to reset a feature on the microscope that imprints each photo with a label. After taking a few pictures of her own slides that morning, Downs was surprised to see "Antrax 005" emblazoned on her negatives.

Downs also noted that an automatic counter on the camera, like an odometer on a car, had been rolled back to hide the fact that pictures had been taken over the weekend. She wrote of her findings in a memo to Langford, noting that whoever was using the microscope was "either in a big hurry or didn't know what they were doing."

It is unclear if the Army ever got to the bottom of the incident, and some lab insiders believed concerns about it were overblown. Brown said many Army officers did not understand the scientific process, which he said doesn't always follow a 9-to-5 schedule.

"People all over the base knew that they could come in at anytime and get on the microscope," Brown said. "If you had security clearance, the guard isn't going to ask you if you are qualified to use the equipment. I'm sure people used it often without our knowledge."

Documents from the inquiry show that one unauthorized person who was observed entering the lab building at night was Langford's predecessor, Lt. Col. Philip Zack, who at the time no longer worked at Fort Detrick. A surveillance camera recorded Zack being let in at 8:40 p.m. on Jan. 23, 1992, apparently by Dr. Marian Rippy, a lab pathologist and close friend of Zack's, according to a report filed by a security guard.

Zack could not be reached for comment. In an interview this week, Rippy said that she doesn't remember letting Zack in, but that he occasionally stopped by after he was transferred off the base.

"After he left, he had no [authorized] access to the building. Other people let him in," she said. "He knew a lot of people there and he was still part of the military. I can tell you, there was no suspicious stuff going on there with specimens."

Zack left Fort Detrick in December 1991, after a controversy over allegations of unprofessional behavior by Zack, Rippy, Brown and others who worked in the pathology division. They had formed a clique that was accused of harassing the Egyptian-born Assaad, who later sued the Army, claiming discrimination.

Assaad said he had believed the harassment was behind him until last October, until after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

He said that is when the FBI contacted him, saying someone had mailed an anonymous letter - a few days before the existence of anthrax-laced mail became known - naming Assaad as a potential bioterrorist. FBI agents decided the note was a hoax after interviewing Assaad.

But Assaad said he believes the note's timing makes the author a suspect in the anthrax attacks, and he is convinced that details of his work contained in the letter mean the author must be a former Fort Detrick colleague.

Brown said that he doesn't know who sent the letter, but that Assaad's nationality and expertise in biological agents made him an obvious subject of concern after Sept. 11.

Anti-Zionist is not anti-Semitic, don't be such a dildo. Read the data and logically refute it - if you possess the capacity.

Do you remember the "high-fivers"? They were Zionist Israeli who were exposed in The Forward (America's oldest Jewish publication). Are you going to call those Jews anti-Semitic too? Fucking dildo wrapped in a ham sandwich!

The High-Fivers
More proof the Israelis were shadowing the 9/11 hijackers

..
Of particular interest is the coverage by The Forward, the oldest newspaper of the Jewish community in North America. They reported on one key aspect of the Israeli-9/11 connection: the story of the five employees of a moving van company apprehended hours after the twin towers were struck. They had been observed in Liberty State Park, New Jersey, overlooking the Hudson, with a clear view of the burning towers. A woman had seen them from the window of her apartment building overlooking the parking lot: they came out of a white van, and they were jumping up and down, high-fiving each other with obvious glee. Their mood, it could be said, was celebratory. They were also filming the towers as they burned, and taking still photos.

The woman called the cops, who put out a "be on the lookout" alert. I'll let Christopher Ketcham, author of a blockbuster new report appearing in Counterpunch, tell the rest of the story:

"At 3:56 p.m., twenty-five minutes after the issuance of the FBI BOLO, officers with the East Rutherford Police Department stopped the commercial moving van through a trace on the plates. According to the police report, Officer Scott DeCarlo and Sgt. Dennis Rivelli approached the stopped van, demanding that the driver exit the vehicle. The driver, 23-year-old Sivan Kurzberg, refused and 'was asked several more times [but] appeared to be fumbling with a black leather fanny pouch type of bag'. With guns drawn, the police then 'physically removed' Kurzberg, while four other men two more men had apparently joined the group since the morning were also removed from the van, handcuffed, placed on the grass median and read their Miranda rights. They had not been told the reasons for their arrest. Yet, according to DeCarlo's report, 'this officer was told without question by the driver [Sivan Kurzberg], 'We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem.' Another of the five Israelis, again without prompting, told Officer DeCarlo falsely that 'we were on the West Side Highway in New York City during the incident.'"

jpw - are you a Zionist and/or Jewish?

LOL no.

And I didn't dismiss your "data" (which is a mockery of the term in this instance...), I was asking you to spit out exactly what your point was by spamming the thread with an extended list of scientists who have died.

now it all makes sense...

NOW it all makes sense...

NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE...

bwaaahahahahahaha...!

Several observed working assumptions of the conspiracist (swine flu edition):

1. Conspiracy mongers give the government/Illuminati/Reptoid Revolutionaries far too much credit...since when has the gov't been efficient at anything it's done, let alone orchestrate and execute a plot that will infect a vast majority of the populace, AND "vaccinate" them with a fraudulent serum? Seems to me that the conspiracists are inconsistent regarding consistency...
1(a). If it *were* the case that government were in on such a scam, you could all but count on receiving a letter in the mail informing you that a letter is in the mail to inform you of the nature of the scam...

2. I guess the conspiracy mongers also assume that hundreds of thousands to millions of students of science, their mentors, researchers, research assistants, etc - the entire worldwide scientific apparatus, basically - is corrupted beyond belief. Neo-nihilism, as I like to call it. As Zatoichi might point out, they're using transistors to protest against the institution which bore them (transistors, not conspiracy-tards). LOL. Nobody in the whole business has any dignity; after all, it's much better to just be bought out by Corporation USA as soon as one receives a passing grade from Bio or Chem 101. LOL. DAYUMNED ACADEMICS AND SCIENCE BOOGEYMEN!!!!1!!

3. In the so-called "information-age", anyone who's LrNd 2 iNtern3t gUd has a stranglehold on truth. (***requires: rudimentary HTML skills, official-sounding qualification (may or may not be faked), a point of view, and YouTube account (optional, but more likely to attract the fly-like minds of JnD, et al***). If a website out there says so, it must be fact - "evidence" becomes synonymous with "YouTube"; either way, it's all merely optional once one has thumbprinted a few grams of LSD!

You believe something posted on prisonplanet.com? Really?

Do I detect an argumentum ad hominem fallacy?
