1. Rumsfeld was the CEO of Gilead from 1997-2001, he went straight from CEO to Defense Secretary. Gilead owns the rights to Tamiflu (the would be bird-flu vaccine), which they leased to Roche to manufacture. Gilead receives 10% from Roche, Rumsfeld’s shares currently equal to $5-25 million.

2. Gilead Stock has increased at least 500% since 2001.

3. Tamiflu has been linked to twelve deaths:

including heart attack, suicide, pneumonia and acute pancreatitis. Four had suffered a “sudden death”, which was “an unusual phenomenon in otherwise healthy children”. All had taken Tamiflu.

4. Two of the suicides in Japan were from hallucinogenic side effects.

with one jumping in front of an oncoming truck last year and the other falling from the ninth floor of a building earlier this year…

The drug in Japan carries a note listing impaired consciousness, abnormal behaviors, hallucination and other psychological and neurological symptoms as possible serious side effects.

5. The Senate is considering (S. 1873) which could mandate forced vaccinations as well as liability protection from vaccine makers.

I have been very sceptical about this whole bird-person-person avian flu scare, and considering the source it has been coming from…I tend to trust this guy…

Gary Butcher is trained as a veterinarian specializing in avian diseases, and has a Ph.D. in poultry virology.
Experts dismiss scare over bird flu

Butcher fields phone calls and e-mails about avian flu every day.

Lately, he’s been traveling the world, speaking to alarmed government officials and industry groups dispelling the myths and reinforcing the realities of avian influenza or so-called “bird flu.”

“The emphasis of all my work has changed to dealing with this madness,” Butcher said Friday, while briefly back at his office on the UF campus in Gainesville. “Realistically, avian influenza is not a threat to people, but everywhere you go, it has turned into a circus.”…

Butcher said that of the billions of people who have probably been exposed, only about 120 have been reported to have fallen ill with avian flu. They were people who worked closely with chickens and came into contact with the birds’ blood and feces.

Butcher also said that there has yet to be a proven case in which one person is known to have passed the illness on to another.

So what gives? Why are they spending so much time scare-mongering when this doesn’t even really seem like an issue? Could this really be something so simple as unbridled greed? Considering the billions that are being asked of the American taxpayers and the fact that Rumsfeld served as Chairman of Gilead, the company that developed Tamiflu from 1997 to 2001 just before he became part of the Bush Administration, that does seem to be the case. Rumsfeld has at least $5 million worth of stocks in Gilead that have risen in value from $35 in April to $47. Former Secretary of State George Shultz is also on Gilead’s board and has sold more than $7 million worth of Gilead in 2005. It’s like the biotech equivalent of the Carlyle group.

Thanks to Fortune magazine for this interesting information…

As the bird-flu issue heated up earlier this year, according to a senior Pentagon official, Rumsfeld considered unloading his entire Gilead stake to avoid any perceived conflict of interest. He sought the advice of the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the federal Office of Government Ethics. When those agencies didn’t offer an opinion, Rumsfeld consulted a private securities lawyer, who advised him to hold on to the stock and be vocal about his earlier recusal from all matters involving Gilead, rather than sell and run the risk of being accused of insider trading. Holding on has paid off-it’s made the Pentagon chief, already one of the wealthiest members of the Bush cabinet, at least $1 million richer. In late October, Rumsfeld had the Pentagon’s general counsel issue instructions on what he could and could not do in the event of an epidemic.

The Niagra Fall Reporter on Senate bill (S. 1873) :

In essence, however, it would force Americans to receive inoculations against a disease that has yet to kill one of them, while removing their constitutional right to seek redress in our courts in case of injury or death from the shots because of company negligence. The proposal, now moving its way through the Senate, would also ban citizens from using the Freedom of Information Act and other popular informational laws to discover whether the new vaccine (when it is finally produced) was effective and safe, and even whether anyone had suffered adverse reactions to it.

Forced innoculations (that’s Bush-style ‘freedom’ for you) and you can’t sue the drug company if the vaccine kills your spouse… but that’s ok- because according to ABC News, this could be almost as devastating as Nuclear War:

Parts of major cities would become ghost towns, travel restrictions would go into effect and hospitals would be overwhelmed.

“We get into a realm here of some very ugly scenes,” says Dr. Irwin Redlener of the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. “There is most definitely the need to quarantine cities and quarantine people.”

The draft of Bush’s report predicts as many as 200 million Americans would be infected and 200,000 Americans would die.

Most cities would be expected to use large stadiums as make-shift hospitals, much as hurricane victims were given shelter in New Orleans and Houston.

And of course the quarantines could look like the movie Outbreak, where citizens try to flee but the military won’t let them out.

From an AP Story posted at PrisonPlanet.com :

President Bush, stirring debate on the worrisome possibility of a bird flu pandemic, suggested dispatching American troops to enforce quarantines in any areas with outbreaks of the killer virus.

Remember last month when Bush said we might need to impose martial law with the military enforcing quarantines… Tuesday he’s going to give a big speech outlining the details, here’s ABC News with the latest terror report- be very afraid:

The Bush administration’s long-awaited plan on how to fight the next super-flu will likely include beefed-up attempts to spot human infections early, both here and abroad.

Expect recommendations on how to isolate the sick.

ie- Quarantine with military, claim all dissenters are sick with bird flu, then accuse them of threatening lives if they don’t take the gov’t sponsored ‘vaccination’ - even though nobody knows what’s in these vaccinations, just last week 1000 Exxon employees were accidentally vaccinated with a ‘fake flu vaccine‘.

Governors and mayors are on notice to figure out who will actually inject stockpiled vaccines into the arms of panicked people.

People fearing the bird flu or the goon squad with ‘vaccines’?

How to provide food supplies, everyday medical care for people who don’t have the super-flu, basic utilities and even security must be part of the plan, Osterholm and others have counseled the Bush administration.

“In this day and age of a global economy, with just-in-time delivery and no surge capacity and international supply chains those things are very difficult to do for a week, let alone for 12 to 18 months of what will be a very tough time.”

While it is impossible to say when the next super-flu will strike, there have been three pandemics in the last century and influenza experts say the world is overdue.

Republican Congressman Ron Paul spoke to Alex Jones and as a Washington insider seems to have information that the incredibly corrupt Republican House of Cards is coming down.
interview with Alex Jones

“I think there’s a lot more excitement coming and it’s not going to be good for the Republicans,” stated Paul.

“The things that I hear have to do with Karl Rove and Abramoff and that’s much much worse than anybody would believe and it involves DeLay as well.”

“And that type of an indictment will be much more serious than the indictment of shifting campaign funds around…..there’s some political infighting which could make that really interesting.”

And then there is this damning information about Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist…

“The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that Frist earned tens of thousands of dollars from HCA stock in a partnership controlled by his brother, outside of the blind trusts he created to avoid a conflict of interest.

“It seems that for years, Frist may have misled his constituents and the American people about his health care industry stock holdings and the conflict of interest they created as he drafted our nation’s health care policy,” …

“Within days of Frist’s July stock sale, HCA warned investors about weaker-than-expected financial performance, which sent the stock price spiraling downward by 9 percent in one day.”

Washington Post

Exposing the Republican culture of corruption in Washington, D.C. couldn’t come at a better time, as Bush is asking congress to abolish Posse Comitatus and allow him to set up Martial Law to quarantine US citizens.

Congressman Ron Paul

“To me it’s so strange that the President can make these proposals and it’s even plausible. When he talks about martial law dealing with some epidemic that might come later on and having forced quarantines, doing away with Posse Comitatus in order to deal with natural disasters, and hardly anybody says anything. People must be scared to death.”

Paul, himself a medical doctor, agreed that the bird flu threat was empty fearmongering….”My first reaction going from my political and medical background is that it’s way overly hyped and to think that they have gone this far with it, without a single case in the whole country and they’re willing to change the law and turn it into a military state?”

It seems they are already using New Orleans to try out their military state, setting up Guantanamo at a bus station, forcing people to sleep on concrete and do slave labor…all for being arrested for violating curfew…

Anthony Jack, former detainee, explains

“I was in my yard, and a young white guy came by the gate and I was talking to him and the police came and arrested both of us,” he recounted. “He was outside breaking curfew; I was inside… behind the gate. The police broke my gate down with a pick-ax. They broke it completely off the fence.”

They were then told they could either plead guilty and they would be sentenced to about 40 hours of “community service.” or if they wished the maintain their innocence they would be sent to Hunts Correctional Facility where they could wait as long as 21 days to be processed.

In the end, given the choice between unpaid work and continued incarceration, nearly all chose to plead guilty.

“The police are basically arresting people for curfew violations and public intoxication and just using it as a way to get free labor to clean up the prisons and court houses and the police stations. They’re just using it as a way to get people to do their dirty work for free.”

Brandon Toussaint said he was arrested going from the downstairs of is apartment complex to another apartment upstairs.Toussaint said he had already done a few days of work for the police, cleaning up and painting their facilities.
“If they needed someone to clean up their city, they could have just asked,” he said.

This abuse of power and disregard for the US consitution must be stopped immediately if we are to save what is left of our democracy. Otherwise, Guantanamo might be coming to a town near you.

As Ron Paul suggests…the government is on a delusional power trip that threatens the country.

“These guys are ready to start a war with Iran, Syria, North Korea or China. They can’t possibly do that, it’s so insane, we don’t have the money, we don’t have the troops, we probably don’t even have the ammunition.”

“But, if they are truly delusional they just might do something that’s totally irrational.”

Cui Bono is the question we should all be asking. If Bush were interested in protecting the American people, he would be looking into who spread Tularemia in DC during the protest. Isn’t that why the Homeland Security department was created? Isn’t that why they were checking the air filters in the first place? They found a biological weapon, but are doing nothing about it? Instead he’s looking into a way to impose martial law. It sure does seem like he wants an outbreak, perhaps tried to create one with Tularemia? It is hard not to be suspicious.

“This would be a heck of alot easier if this were a dictatorship, so long as I am the dictator” George W Bush

Tularemia (Rabbit fever) bacteria detected on Washington Mall during recent anti-war protest

George W. Bush responded to a question about the danger of a bird flu pandemic by stating he wants the authority to use the military to enforce mandatory quarantine zones in areas infected by the virus. Bush wants Congress to overturn the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, originally enacted to limit the military’s role in domestic law enforcement in the post-Civil War South.

White House answer to bird flu outbreak: send in the military and declare martial law. Welcome to the Fourth Reich.

Essentially, instead of addressing the need to stockpile vaccines like Tamiflu and coordinate the activities of the Centers for Disease Control, National Institutes of Health, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, and the U.S. Public Health Service, Bush wants to declare martial law and suspend the Constitution in the event of a bird flu outbreak.

Bush’s amazing grasp of the subject of the potential pandemic: “The reporting needs to be not only on the birds that have fallen ill, but also on tracing the capacity of the virus to go from bird to person, to person. That’s when it gets dangerous, when it goes bird-person-person.”

An anthrax attack on Congress during Patriot Act passage, tularemia found during anti-war demonstrations, bird flu being used as an excuse to scrap Posse Comitatus and impose martial law? Cui bono? Who benefits?

His first day in office the new guy begins fear mongering at a press conference. The US spreads the scare far and wide, the senate asks for 4 billion, and now Bush is using it to demand an end to Posse Comitatus and impose martial law. Who hired this guy?

Dr. David Nabarro, named on Thursday as the UN coordinator for global readiness against an outbreak, had said that the world response would determine whether a flu virus ends up killing 5 million or as many as 150 million.

“There is obvious confusion, and I think that has to be straightened out. I don’t think you will hear Dr. Nabarro say the same sort of thing again,” WHO influenza spokesman Dick Thompson told a news briefing.

But he(Dick Thompson) also said the WHO believes the estimate of 2 million to 7.4 million deaths, based on a study by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “is the most reasoned position,” according to a Reuters report.

As quoted by AFP, Thompson also told reporters, “We can’t be dragged into further scare-mongering.”

Is it possible that someone is using the Avian bird flu for their own purposes? Bush wants to use it to get rid of Posse Comitatus, and it appears that congress is using it to give a gift to the pharmaceutical companies. While congress is allocating 3.1 billion to treat 20 million people, Finland is paying 25 million to treat 5 million.

bellaciao

What’s wrong with this picture? Bush proposes martial law- and the only person speaking out against it is Dr. Irwin Redlener, associate dean of Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health:

Dr Redlener on CNN:

Giving the military a law enforcement role would be an extraordinarily Draconian measure… The translation of this is martial law in the United States.

WHERE IS THE DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION?
