I’d
finally lost my taste for TV. Its gaudy ads.
Its manufactured news, mind numbing sitcoms
and titty-tainment. I’d successfully avoided
TV for the entire year, until one night my finger
strayed onto the button and flicked around the
channels. Graphic footage of dead birds and
masked “health” workers spraying people with
chemicals triggered a bad case of déjà vu.
I recalled the time I’d flown to South America
to give a presentation at an international Human
Rights conference. A few months previously,
on March 4th, 2003, the first person
had been diagnosed with SARS, a brand new disease.
It was Professor Liu Jianlun, a microbiologist
working in a laboratory involved in secret,
government-sponsored work in China’s Guangdong province.1 Incredibly, he had also
been “researching” the H5N1 virus, now known
as the “Bird Flu.”
This was closely followed by two other deaths;
a Singaporean researcher working in a laboratory
of the Singapore Environmental Health Institute
and a post doctoral student working on West
Nile virus. Singaporean Health Minister Mr.
Balaji Sadasivan, stated that the researcher’s
exposure to the SARS virus “is most likely linked
to that laboratory... where the SARS virus is
[also] cultured.”2
It made me wonder just how many bio-hazard labs
were in operation and what other new germs they
were engineering.
I’d barely made my flight. My husband and I
had been very busy in our Integrative (wholistic)
medical clinic which offered patients a variety
of orthodox as well as complementary and reliable
alternative medical treatments. People traveled
long distances to get treatment for cancer and
other serious diseases. For most it was the
first time they had been able to make lifestyle
changes and receive physical, emotional and
spiritual healing. They literally got a new
lease of life. They felt better and looked better.
Lately, since the media had whipped up fear
of a worldwide epidemic, dozens of patients
visited the clinic because they were worried
about SARS. The health department had issued
a SARS bulletin to all doctors which listed
only three criteria for making the diagnosis
of SARS: Cough, fever and a recent trip overseas.
That could include almost anyone, and I immediately
became suspicious.
It troubled me that authorities did not list
a specific disease profile for a brand new illness
that seemed to one minute reside exclusively
inside biohazard laboratories and the next minute
allegedly spread into human populations. I’d
also noticed drug company shares rise from the
sale of drugs for respiratory illness.
In our practice we found very few drugs
were in fact necessary for healing and disease
prevention. Our patients who had taken regular
doses of vitamins, minerals, omega oils, antioxidants
and other natural supplements had rarely come
down with colds, flu, and other infections.
I hadn’t had a cold or flu for over ten years
since I had started taking regular supplements.
After much illness and many attempts at personal
healing, I finally realised the fact the only
thing that would keep me healthy was a functional
immune system.
The day I boarded the aircraft two passengers
were plucked from Sydney airport and quarantined
in a Sydney hospital. Media reports showed masked
Asian airport personnel prowling around terminals
with fever detector gadgets, hauling hot and
bothered travellers off into quarantine areas.
Having finally made it on board I had a chance
to think again about the emergence of diseases
for profit, an issue which I had just published
in my second book Health Betrayal.
I thought about AIDS – a previously unheard
of disease entity which emerged in the early
1980’s. A few years earlier Merck pharmaceutical
company had developed an experimental hepatitis
vaccine which was given to gay men and Africans.
By 1980 the AIDS epidemic started in those populations
which had received the experimental vaccine.3
Since then the WHO (World Health Organisation)
with its close ties to pharmaceutical companies,
has strictly mandated billions of doses of various
types of vaccines to Africans and other third
world residents where AIDS has spread like wild
fire. Governments have vaccinated unwilling
populations at gunpoint. One African activist,
Kihura Nkuba writes:
“The enthusiasm of government to give vaccines
to a people that it normally gives nothing [to]
was seen as very suspicious. The forcing of
them to take a vaccine against a disease they
know to be harmless and which they know how
to cure in its harmful state was seen as government
hell bent on killing its own population for
the benefit of… white world. All village people
know that once you have recovered from measles
you will never catch it again, but here they
were telling people to vaccinate even those
who have recovered from measles. In other villages
police armed to the teeth moved from house to
house searching for children to immunise.”
In 2002 Nkuba wrote this after a vaccination
campaign: “…there was one mother who had four
children, and she hid one and took three other
children for vaccination, and three children
died and that one survived.”
It is noteworthy that of over 45 million people
afflicted with HIV/AIDS worldwide, 39 million
of them are in third world countries. In 2003
the average AIDS patient, who could afford it,
paid US$15,000 per year for AIDS drugs which
have not been shown to be effective in the treatment
of the disease.4
In late 2001 someone mailed anthrax bacillus
to several key individuals and news organisations
in the US. Two people subsequently died of anthrax.
The strain was identified as originating from
Fort Detrick – a military bio-weapons facility.
The anthrax had been weaponised, its potency
increased for use in biological warfare. There
are few facilities known in the world to have
that capacity. They include US military laboratories
and a government contractor.5
While the mainstream media whipped up anti-Muslim
sentiment, drug company cash registers started
ringing. Almost immediately, sales for Cipro,
an antibiotic made by Bayer, hit the roof as
30,000 Americans started taking the drug, just
in case. Terrified Americans thought nothing
of paying US$700 for a two month supply of Cipro
despite its potentially serious side effects.
Other generic versions of the drug were available
but not widely publicised. The anthrax scare
resulted in lucrative new drug company contracts
to manufacture both anthrax and smallpox vaccinations
for the military and general population.
It also gave rise to the Model State Emergency
Health Powers Act, giving the government wide
powers to quarantine, drug and inject vaccinations
into persons at gunpoint in the event of a “public
health emergency” being declared. Many US states
passed this Bill after September 11, which included
an exemption to drug companies and vaccine makers
for any vaccine deaths or injuries that would
occur.6 Public advocacy
groups have already started work on having the
Bill repealed, on the grounds that it is unconstitutional.
On the long flight I had a chance to think about
the West Nile Virus (WNV) which first broke
out in a poor, predominately black section of
New York City (NY) in August 1999, when it had
never been known to exist in the US. The virus
had only ever been known in East Africa where
it resulted in a mild disease that did not affect
other animal and bird populations to any significant
degree. However, the new NY strain of the WNV
is able to jump the species barrier. Since the
year 2000 over 10,000 wild birds have died,
countless horses, primates and the human death
toll exceeds 146 Americans. Only the most vulnerable
people die, however. As many as 200,000 people
are infected and are clinically well, posing
a good argument for keeping the immune system
functioning well. The new strain has spread
over most eastern US states. While health officials
claim the WNV virus jumped into the US from
Africa, the new virulent NY strain had been
cultured and engineered in biohazard facilities
for years and sold to labs around the world.
Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies including
OraVax have made millions in WNV vaccine research
and products. Thomas Monath, Vice President
of Research and Medical Affairs at OraVax, is
one of the world’s leading arbovirologists.
He became an advisor to NY Mayor Giuliani when
the WNV problem first emerged in the city. Monath
had previously developed genetically engineered
vaccines against WNV type organisms in his capacity
as the Chief of the Virology Division, US Army
at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
Since the 1950s the US military began developing
bio-warfare weapons at Fort
Detrick by cooking
up germs from exotic animal diseases intended
to cripple the Soviet or other enemy economies
by killing horses, cattle, birds and swine with
crippling new epidemics. By the 1970s new advances
in genetic engineering allowed the creation
of new designer viruses that jump species barriers
and even cause cancer. Since then many analysts
have claimed these germs have been used for
population control as well as commercial purposes
with the assistance of high level US government
agencies.
In fact plagues of animal diseases had badly
affected the UK which had slaughtered almost
four million animals after an outbreak of foot
and mouth disease (FMD). Internet-based encyclopedia
Wikipedia defines the disease as a highly contagious
but non-fatal viral disease, meaning
it is similar to the common cold in humans.
If left to their own devices animals recover
from the disease with permanent immunity to
it. However, laboratories licensed to manipulate
or engineer the FMD virus can create forms that
differ from the wild virus strain. The UK animals
were infected with type O pan Asia strain, which
is not normally found in the UK. Foot and mouth
virus “research” was carried out by Merial Animal
Health. This facility, owned by Merck and Aventis,
is also a vaccine production laboratory located
near Pirbright, Surrey, not far from Britain’s
own government Institute for Animal Health.
According to the Sunday Express, a routine
audit into the government’s bio-warfare research
laboratory Porton Down revealed that a container
of foot and mouth virus went missing two months
before the outbreak in early 2001.7
While it is still unknown who was responsible
for the outbreak, there were certainly many
who profited from it. Merck’s Merial is the
leading supplier of foot and mouth disease vaccine.8
After the UK beef market collapsed overnight,
Tyson Foods, the US based largest meat and poultry
producer and packer in the world, expanded its
international market into the UK. The outbreak
proved to be catastrophic to UK agriculture
and rural families but a lucrative cash cow
to multinational slaughter houses, food processors
and pharmaceutical companies.
My flight arrived at midnight in Panama City,
where I disembarked and waited for another flight
to Columbia. I was tired and wanted nothing
more than to get on board and catch a few hours
sleep, but I was about to learn a lesson about
the political benefits of unleashing fear. Unbeknownst
to me, a flight from Tokyo had arrived at San
Jose International Airport on red alert after the
cabin crew informed US ground officials of five
people aboard suspected of having SARS. The
reason for the alert, as it later turned out,
was that the passengers had simply coughed.
Official fear mongering included few actual
facts about SARS, an atypical pneumonia virus,
which had only ever lived in a bio-lab before
it appeared in several Asian countries simultaneously.
Of the alleged 2960 cases of SARS worldwide,
119 people died, a death rate of 4% from the
virus. In comparison, 3-5 million people are
affected by seasonal influenza virus, having
identical symptoms, resulting in between 250,000
and 500,000 deaths every year around the world,
mainly affecting high risk groups such as the
elderly, poorly nourished or chronically ill.10
Dr. Loraine Day MD, a distinguished US physician
states: “The supposed disorder of 'SARS': A.
CANNOT be distinguished, by its symptoms, from
virtually ANY other mild or severe respiratory
disorder! And B. CANNOT be distinguished by
any specific microorganism! If I, a highly trained
physician, CANNOT distinguish SARS from ANY
OTHER type of routine pneumonia based on ANY
of the government’s published information, how
are lay people going to do it?”12
The atmosphere seemed unusually tense around
the Panama terminal during the early hours of
the morning. I drank from my bottle of water,
and cleared my throat after the dry air on the
plane had irritated it. This caught the eye
of several uniformed health department personnel
scanning the crowd in the transit lounge. I
looked away as I felt two sets of dark eyes
scanning me suspiciously. When a passing crowd
of travellers obscured the officials’ view of
me I hastily moved away to another lounge. Why?
Because, new public health legislation around
the world modelled on the US Model State Emergency
Health Powers Act means force is allowed in
detaining and quarantining anyone, using the
latest disease as a reason, whether it actually
exists or not. That means fasten your seat belts
travellers, because now flight attendants, cleaners,
teachers, general informants and bureaucrats
will be practicing medicine without a license.
Personally, I’d rather take my chances with
a real doctor than an airport employee.
Bird
Flu – Pandemic of Greed
Since my trip I wondered why the first SARS
deaths involved Asian scientists working in
a biohazard lab with West Nile Virus and bird
flu. The bird flu has made its rounds yearly,
severely affecting Asian countries where 117
people have allegedly been infected and 60 have
allegedly died since 1997. Most deaths occurred
in Vietnam, where scientific facilities are
barely adequate to make a definitive diagnosis.
Prior to 1997, the wild bird flu was a rare
and relatively mild virus affecting only birds.
The first case of bird flu affecting a human
appeared in Asia in 1997. Apparently the wild
virus had mysteriously changed to H5N1 strain,
a variety that could very rarely affect humans
when ingesting infected meat or in very close
contact with birds. The “high path” H5N1 strain
appeared suddenly and has been known to be located
in many bio-hazard labs around the world.
When the Associated Press reported the death
of a 60-year-old woman allegedly of bird flu,
the US government halted “all chicken imports
from China in a move to curb the spread of the
virus.” Shortly after, the first wave of slaughter
began with 1.2 million Asian chickens. By 2003,
40 million birds had been slaughtered and Tyson
foods, the Arkansas based
largest meat producer and packer in the world
has been making steady inroads into the previously
closed Asian poultry market, filling the gap
in production.
The “high path” H5N1 strain hit the Asian
countries hardest, such as Thailand, Japan,
Vietnam and China who rely on poultry products
for export and pose a real competition to giant
US based meat processing corporations. These
countries have had strong independent markets
catering to domestic poultry needs, traditionally
impenetrable to Western imports.
Meanwhile the US reported a “low path”
H5N2 outbreak of bird flu in Texas
in 2004, which has not disrupted US exports.
Tyson Foods chief administrative officer Greg
Lee is reported by Reuters to have said: “We
are seeing and do expect to see some positive
benefit as a result of disruptions in some of
the Asian production.”11
Meanwhile, since May 2005, new outbreaks of
high path H5N1 bird flu strain has cut a swathe
across poultry in Russia, Greece, Holland, Kazakhstan,
Turkey, Romania, Mongolia and Croatia, where
massive poultry exterminations have begun. The
poultry infection near Eastern Europe has caused
widespread suspicion. A member of the Liberal
Democratic faction of the Russian State Duma,
Aleksei Mitrofanov, has said in a parliamentary
speech that bird flu was invented by Americans
who wanted to dominate the world’s poultry markets.13
US independent public health expert Dr. Len
Horowitz notes:
“According to USA Today (October 9, 2005),
‘European health officials are working to contain
the [avian flu] virus, which so far has not
infected anyone in the region.’ Although, allegedly
‘more than 140 million birds have died or been
destroyed,... and financial losses to the poultry
sector have topped $10 billion.’ This propaganda
actually admits, ‘the current virus, known as
H5N1, has not yet mutated to the point at which
it can easily spread from person to person.’
In fact, it is likely to have never spread from
person to person other than during laboratory
handling!”
He further states: “In not a single case has
human-to-human communicability been confirmed.
So long as that remains the case, there is no
bird flu threat to the human population of places
such as Vietnam, much less the United States.”
Dr. Nancy Cox, Chief, Influenza Branch, CDC
(Centers for Disease Control) has said during
a February 2004 news conference, “…As you’ve
already heard, avian influenza viruses usually
do not infect humans.” Meanwhile, the prestigious
British Medical Journal editorial of
October 2005 says: “The lack of sustained human-to-human
transmission suggests that this H5N1
avian virus does not currently have the capacity
to cause a human pandemic.”
Despite the scientific evidence to the contrary,
US and global health officials insist on calling
the bird flu a human pandemic. A UN spokesman
David Nabarro said in late 2005: “5 million
to 150 million people ‘could’ be killed ‘if’
the virus mutated and jumped to humans.” While
US Health and Human Services Secretary Mike
Leavitt said: “If it isn’t the current
H5N1 virus that leads to an influenza pandemic,
at some point in our nation’s future, another
virus will.”
Meanwhile panic is being spread globally. An
October 31, 2005 article in the Australian Age
newspaper states: “Disaster experts from
the Asia-Pacific region will meet in Brisbane
today to discuss how to cope with a global outbreak
of deadly bird flu, amid warnings that international
travel would be virtually wiped out in a pandemic.”
While the Canberra Times reported: “Health
Minister Tony Abbott yesterday said overseas
travel would almost cease for a ‘significant
period’ if avian flu broke out in the region.”18
Australia, regarded by some as the Asia Pacific
regional policeman for implementing global policies,
has not had a case of bird flu to date.
Without signs of a human epidemic, on October
28, 2005 the US Senate passed an $8 billion
emergency bill to fund research, drugs and vaccines,
based on no scientific evidence that bird flu
constitutes a significant human threat and overwhelming
evidence to the contrary. The administration
is seeking an additional $6 billion to $10 billion
from US taxpayers, according to a current Business
Week report.
“President Bush this week asked the leaders
of the world’s top vaccine manufacturers – Chiron,
Sanofi-Aventis, Wyeth, GlaxoSmithKline and Merck
– to come to the White House on Friday to discuss
preparations for pandemic flu,” reports the
New York Times in October.
Meanwhile taxpayer billions will also flow into
the coffers of selected pharmaceutical giants
such as Roche, which holds the sole license
to manufacture Tamiflu, an anti viral drug that
is meant only for reducing the symptoms of the
seasonal influenza and has never been tested
for use for the bird flu. Thousands of Americans
are lining up for their dose when there has
not been a single case of H5N1 bird flu in the
US. Without a single human case of H5N1, Tamiflu
is in such demand that a new US factory is being
planned to ensure there is more of the drug
available by the 2006 flu season.
President Bush is discussing the use of the
military to enforce quarantine of suspected
bird flu carriers. The US plans to install a
new quarantine station at Logan
International Airport
to diagnose travellers. Preliminary discussions
include plans to impose 10 year jail terms on
people who breach orders to stay at home, in
hospital or within their city during an influenza
outbreak. This has resulted in heavy opposition
among independent thinkers.
The Boston Globe reported on October
8, 2005: “On Tuesday, the president suggested
that the United States should confront the risk
of a bird flu pandemic by giving him the power
to use the US military to quarantine ‘part[s]
of the country’ experiencing an ‘outbreak’.
So we have moved quickly in the past month,
at least metaphorically, from the global war
on terror to a proposed war on hurricanes, to
a proposed war on the bird flu.”14
An editorial on Freemarketnews.com notes:
“President Bush’s recent remarks about mandating
vaccinations for avian flu is further evidence
of the militarisation of public health care
and would also seem to reflect a dangerous misunderstanding
about disease and palliative methodologies.”
Many qualified doctors would agree, including
Dr. Lorraine Day MD who states: “It
is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to get sick if your
immune system is functioning properly.”
Solutions
Are Already Here
A Culture Change is spreading around the world,
albeit largely unreported by mainstream media.
However, more people now source their news and
health information from the Internet and alternative
new publications than from the mainstream media
which is funded by corporate advertisers and
reflects corporate rather than public interest.
Fresh knowledge and truth is blowing a wind
of change through every country, profession,
corporation and corridor of power on the planet.
The truth, in fact, is astonishingly powerful.
It empowers people to act, to challenge wrongs,
to make informed choices, to create authentic
lives, to have better options, to resist deception,
to have more power, confidence, better communication,
more faith, hope, and love. In contrast to creating
wars, the truth makes for better families, better
communities and more freedom.
For example, it is increasingly known that mainstream
medicine is becoming the leading cause of death
because it is dominated by improper drug company
and bio-tech influences. Health professionals
and ethical scientists are now reporting truth
in medicine and science from independent websites
and alternative news publications, and millions
are clicking on to get important health and
scientific information. Lawyers are now tracking
legal and constitutional abuses. Activists and
independent consumer advocates are now reaching
millions of people, spawning a host of information
and support organisations, ethical companies
and investment opportunities.
Scores of former mainstream journalists are
becoming independent, reporting news on alternative
news sites, with some creating their own popular
identities as ethical broadcasters, investigative
writers and filmmakers. This alternative media
is attracting millions of readers each day who
have abandoned mainstream media sources. This
has caused a massive resurgence of grass roots
health care, activism, literature, democracy,
family values, morality and spirituality, which
is threatening to rattle the cages of those
in power.
“Things have changed,” writes Ignacio Ramonet
in Le Monde. “Even the ‘masters of the
world’ are not free of trouble... the G8 leaders
were besieged and publicly upstaged by upwards
of 200,000 demonstrators… people are not impressed.
Democratic election does not justify presidents
when they betray their electoral promises and
the public interest, or embark on wholesale
privatisation… Nor does it entitle them to move
heaven and earth to service the demands of the
companies that financed their electoral campaigns.”
