Echos of the future: Predictive Linguistics "Web Bots" project fine tunes the dimensional dial - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

EARL NASH RECOMMENDS

For centuries humans have attempted to tune into echos of the future; humans have tried to see above the time horizon into what we call the "future."  From Nostradamus to Edgar Cayce to Sylvia Browne, we are fascinated by anyone who seems to have the eyes to see beyond the dimensional pale.

Now the massive data pool generated by the internet presents an opportunity to predict the possible future using lingusitics software.  Mr. Clif High is the leading researcher in this field and he generates an occasional report that can be downloaded for the incredibly small donation of just $10.  I have received and read the first few reports and find them fascinating and remarkably accurate.  If you are looking for the lotto number or other small scale predictions, try reading your horoscope.  But, if you want to know about world events, cultural trends, economic shifts--Clif is your man.

"Current Issue: Volume Zero, Issue Two is now available from the button below. It runs over 40/forty pages in PDF format. This is delivered in ELECTRONIC form ONLY. NO HARD COPIES are shipped by us. If you can not accept electronic delivery, this report is not for you.

It may be printed from the PDF but not copied. This issue covers from August 22,2009 through to November, 2010 in some depth with continuation of some themes though into 2011 and beyond.

Reader Beware: Very very grim material indeed. NOT necessarily life enhancing.

RELATED ITEM:

"With the next predictive linguistics report due out this weekend, I've been spending a lot of noodle-time on something that really vexes me:  Namely, how does the future announce its presence in advance of things? Or does it, as some have claimed?  There are several schools of though on this, but the short list seems to go something like this:

· The future issues warnings about its next major turns of event because there really is some quirkiness to the 'arrow of time' such that major emotionally impacting events - personal or societal - can print back in time, just like that print-through on the magnetic tape masters of Stairway to Heaven.  Seem to be multiple ways to get at this data, including skrying, prayer/meditation, stream touching, and so forth; more recent the web bot project.  E.G.  the future prints back across Now.  Which is how the web bot project works...or I think that's how it works. But there's another possibility:

· The second school is what I'd call the  'computationalists" who are out there are the far-flung reaches of computer & computing.  Their notion is (generalized) to concept that activities in small numerical events add up to, or foretell or foreshadow in a meaningful way, what's going to happen.  And they've done some damn fine work.  Didier Sornette at U.C.L.A. for one, has applied computational techniques of getting at small signal data contained in precursor earthquake data and applied the same kind of rigorous math to stock price variations (a kind of manic socioeconomic seismograph when you think about it)  and his book Why Stock Markets Crash: Critical Events in Complex Financial Systems (2003) is about the best there is.  Of course, what I'd like to see is a more robust model; e.g. a cross platform model that would calculate on an integrative basis, known price actions from multiple markets with various time-bases, to avoid the problem of manipulated markets & interventions here lately, but I doubt the good professor has time to build the comprehensive cross-market model to look at bond, real estate, precious metals, stocks, and consumption & production globally to intuit future change, since Sornette has gone on to the other things, but his work circa 2001-2002 seems to have accurately captured, in advance, at least the  2007 high and subsequent decline (See: Landau 2 in particular).  If you don't know who Landau is, then the only hint that I'll give you is the reading list under "Henry".  Question is:  Do humans, in their daily speech, represent massive math co-processors projecting forwards and the future occur as projected forward at some cultural computational level?  Might be consistent with Dean Radin's Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences in a Quantum Reality .  As you can see, the borderline between computation and prescience can get mighty damn fine to the point of blurring.  Let's set these aside on a vetical axis and now build a horizontal axis:

· The Third school might be labeled the 'religionists' who figure this is all preordained and little hints of the future are whispered in from the sidelines every so often by the Game Master, oft called God, Universe, Tao, IT, or even alien influences.  Arguments could be made either way that go into 'skrying/print-through' to intuitive computation, but it seems that there's a separate category that may be summarized a superluminal/ externally-referenced. 

· Last, but not least, we have the atheists/coincidentalists who figure everything is accidental and that Jung's synchronicity is a simple appearance of nonrandomness since our attention is so laser-like (easily captured and all) while the amount of data is so overwhelming that we can data-surf our way into self-delusion.  Law of Large Numbers beats us into errant belief sets, kind of thing, since we all roll the occasional snake-eyes back-to-back..  The book How We Know What Isn't So: The Fallibility of Human Reason in Everyday Life   is a fine jumping off point to appreciate this view.

 

If you want a fine weekend project (due Monday before 6 AM - my writing time) please go study how the Gregorc Style Delimiter works: a psychology and higher education assessment tool that analyzes a personality based on thinking styles random, sequential, abstract, and concrete.  Then, once you see how Gregorc is constructed, develop a time-perception model equivalent based on the above differentiations so when people have discussions about time and the arrival of future events, then can see the built-in bias of the person they're speaking with.  I believe so much in style delimiter approach that Elaine & I took the delimiters and found our thinking styles largely overlapped, so at least we think similarly (both being pretty well balanced, btw).

 

What seems to occur as a practical matter is that when one person looks at the future as a computation/extrapolation supporter, there's almost never agreement with a religionist/superliminalist /external referencer because they haven't set aside their framing mismatch.  What usually seems to erupt is a debate  matching numeracy against heresy.   Yet both sides will deny it.

---

What I'm getting to is that unless you can be really open-minded about how things are framed, and unless you can share framing references and then toss out ideas on the table without getting emotionally sucked in to defending a particular personal bias/framing set, the future becomes less accessible, because of built-in biases.

 

I mention all this so that when the next predictive linguistics report comes out, you consider the language from all perspectives which seems to me to be the way to extract maximum value." -- George Ure

THIS IS YOUR BRAIN: Amputee Controls Robotic Arm with his Mind

EARL NASH,WTFG, Brain correspondent Just another example of the future, where we will use our brain waves to communicate with an interpreter device and on to robotic limbs and even our computers; say good bye to your mouse and keyboard!  Could you control the speed of you car with your brainwaves?

An Italian based research team announced today that their patient, an Italian amputee, can control a robotic arm with his mind.  The arm was attached via electrodes to the nerves in what was left of 26-year-old Pierpaolo Petruzziello’s arm (which he lost three years ago in a car accident). Even though the robotic device was not directly connected to his body, Petruzziello could make a fist, wiggle his fingers, and grab objects simply by thinking about it. "It's a matter of mind, of concentration," Petruzziello said. "When you think of it as your hand and forearm, it all becomes easier."  Paolo Maria Rossini, the lead neurologist of the study, said "Some of the gestures cannot be disclosed because they were quite vulgar.”

Pres. Obama's Paradoxical War Policy - WTF? the troops don't know if they're coming or going, or both, or why

EARL NASH EDITORIAL

After his “Alice in Wonderland” genre speech, where he tried to square the circle of simple logic with grand eloquence to satisfy war hawks and peace promoters, simultaneously, President Obama was criticized by his own party and supported by Republicans, including Karl Rove.  What should that reaction tell him?

 
OLIVE  AND  ARROWS

LEAVES  
Gamely attempting an impossible linguistic circumlocution, a sleight of hand worthy or Penn and Teller, the President offered a Zen-like paradox:  you announce you will pull out in 18 months and then commit 30,000 more troops.

CAUTION: Don't run into yourself while coming and going.

It took his opponent in the Presidential election, war hawk John McCain, to define the logical contradition and force the question toward an either/or logical conclusion, when he pressed Sec. of Defense Gates:

“Announcing a firm date for starting an American withdrawal while also saying such a withdrawal depends on conditions on the ground are two incompatible statements.

You either have a winning strategy ... and then once it's succeeded, then we withdraw or, as the president said, we will have a date [for] beginning withdrawal in July 2011. Which is it? It's got to be one or the other. It's got to be the appropriate conditions, or it's got to be an arbitrary date. You can't have both."

Gates, left to justify what the President meant with what the President said in his speech, went for weasel words to obfuscate, cranking up the War Fog Machine.

Initially Gates offered that the administration will conduct "a thorough review" of the Afghan strategy in December 2010 and then:

"If it appears that the strategy's not working, and that we are not going to be able to transition in 2011, then we will take a hard look at the strategy itself," Gates said.

"The president always has the freedom to adjust his decisions," Gates said. But he has made "a clear statement of his strong intent…"

Translation into Cowboy English:

If we find that our plan is not working, we will make an adjustment; we will move the “strong intent” goalpost another 18 months away.

President Obama’s other campaign rival, Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, was also cornered with the same logic paradox by former JAG officer, Leering Lindsey Graham (R-NC), and coughed up this answer:

We (the administration) have “not locked ourselves into leaving…(we intend to provide the Afghans) “space and time to build up sufficient forces to defend themselves.”

Translation into Cowboy English: 

 

Forget the July 2011 date, we will stay until we are reasonably certain that the Afghans forces can defend themselves without our troops.

Thus, anyone dreaming that the U. S. combat troops will be completely out of Afghanistan in July 2011, or before the 2012 Presidential election, know this:

 

The stated plan was to BEGIN the TRANSITION of a draw down in July 2011, if all goes as planned.

There will be a review of the progress in December 2010.

If the Afghans forces are not ready to defend themselves without our troops, the President will exercise his prerogative, his freedom, to adjust his decisions and his strong intent.

While, it might seem logical, regardless of how well the plan is doing, to declare victory and pull out, the consisten extension of the current illogical program would be to move the “strong intent” goalpost another 18 months away. 

The military will say that victory is within our grasp and to pull out now would “dishonor” all of our war dead, maimed and damaged and, like that junkie on the corner, they will ask for just another shot of troops, just another paltry $30 billion, another thousand lives, or so, give or take a life or two. 

What shall avail when the President seeks funding for his war, both immediate and future billions? Might he may be shocked to discover that, with his country circling the Second Depression drain, funding will not appear when he waves his rhetorical wand?  Mr. President, as they say down at Loan department at the "too big to fail" Chicago banks:   "Money talks and bullshit walks."

 

Respectfully, Mr. President, your campaign supporters remain “Pro-Obama” and “Anti-War.”

Two pandemic disaster scenarios: re-infection with H1N1, mutation combining Swine and Bird flu

EARL NASH

There are two major pandemic threats that worry virologists, MDs and even the WHO:

1.  RE-INFECTIONS

If you get over Round One with the Swine flu, you can get a more severe (2nd generation) version of the same virus, making you sicker this time; then, you worry that the third time you get it (3rd genration) it could kill you.

If you pass the 2nd or 3rd generation version to someone who has not been infected by the virus yet, it could kill them.

2.Swine-Bird Kiler Flu strain

  If the H1N1 Swine flu combines with the HiN5 Brid flu, it could create a killer flu that would be worse than the Spanish flu.

"The most obvious risk is of H5N1 combining with the pandemic ... [H1N1] virus, producing a flu virus that is as deadly as the former and as contagious as the latter."

Virologists told HSToday.us that “it’s very possible that the two flu strains could combine – this reassortment that we talk about – that could result in a mix of the two,” as one explained. “Of course, what we are concerned about is a mutation that contains the worst characteristics of the two viruses.”

That the two flu strain could merge, reassert, and produce a new hybrid influenza strain combining the worst elements of each of the viruses is a possibility that authorities have been worrying about ever since the spread of the A-H1N1 virus increased to pandemic level.

“We don’t know if this is possible, but we are certainly aware of the risk,” Dr. Shin Young-soo, WHO Regional Director for the Western Pacific,” told The Philippine Star. “We are on alert for this development.”

“Influenza viruses are unpredictable. In areas where [A-H1N1] is endemic, we and our partners and national governments are working to build surveillance systems to identify changes in the behavior of the virus,” Shin said. “We are also focusing on early-response capacity to reduce the potential threats to human health.”

Military Ready to Take back control of Pakistan, Nuclear Arsenal

EARL NASH, WTFG World Affairs Analyst

Pakistan is a world “hot spot,” because it has a nuclear arsenal, a weak civilian government that is not trusted by its powerful military, and terrorists eager to grab the weapons. Historically, the army has ruled Pakistan for most its existence, with civilian rule returning only last year and they may be ready to take control of the country and its nuclear arsenal again, soon.

Very unhappy military officials believe that secretly taped conversations between Pakistani President Asif Zardari and his ambassador in Washington prove that it was at Zardari's insistence that a $1.5 billion U.S. aid package passed by Congress in September contained several provisions that angered the Pakistani military. The military publicly protested the aid package last month.

"The reaction (from the military) was not so much to what was in the bill but to the thought that the government was trying to create a civilian-to-civilian dialogue (with Washington)," said a senior Pakistani official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Today, a legal amnesty for politicians that benefited many members of Zardari's government, including the president himself and his ambassador to Washington, Husain Haqqani, expires.  Now, President Zardari’s serving ministers and senior aides are subject to prosecution over cases that range from corruption to murder — including Zardari, who was charged with taking kickbacks when his wife, the assassinated Benazir Bhutto, served as the country's prime minister.

Today, under pressure from the military, which, President Asif Zardari turned over control of the nuclear arsenal to President Asif Zardari, whom, at the moment, is in the good graces of the military. This week the law ministry released a list of former amnesty beneficiaries, now in legal jeopardy, that featured those close to the president, including his top aide and several cabinet ministers, but none of the allies of Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani.

At the center of the civil-military conflict is the relationship between Zardari's government and Washington, with the Pakistani army resentful of the close ties and the government's agreement with some U.S. security policies that don't fit with the military's view.

The political confrontation came to the fore with the passage of the $1.5 billion U.S. aid package, which insisted on civilian control of the armed forces and threatened to cut off assistance if there were a coup. The legislation also demanded that Pakistan crack down on extremist groups that were previously considered close to the country's army.

A military spy agency recorded Zardari and Haqqan discussing the legislation. Knowledgeable civilian and military officials, who spoke only if they were not identified by name, said the recordings captured the two discussing how to strengthen democratic institutions in Pakistan.

Even when there have been civilian governments in Islamabad, the military has viewed sensitive foreign and security policies as its purview. In particular, the military jealously guards its role in relations with India, Afghanistan and the United States, as well as the policy toward the country's nuclear arsenal.

Zardari, however, has intruded in all those areas since taking office. He's reached out to traditional enemy India, improved relations with Afghan President Hamid Karzai — usually seen in Pakistan as dangerously close to India — and agreed with the U.S. that Pakistan must eliminate extremist groups on its soil — the same Islamic militants that the military previously used to fight proxy wars in India and Afghanistan.

Zardari also unsuccessfully tried to place the main military spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence, under civilian control, and he offered a "no first use" policy on Pakistan's nuclear weapons to India.

"The army does not like too much civilian interference in their internal affairs," said Hasan Askari Rizvi, a defense commentator and author of Military, State and Society in Pakistan. "The military thinks that the Pakistan government wants to use this (U.S.) law to somehow interfere in the affairs of the military."

"Zardari is perceived as too dependent on or too pro the United States, and sometimes not quite in agreement with the strategic view of the army," said Arif Nizami, a political analyst and former newspaper editor.

The law ministry's list of amnesty beneficiaries contained over 8,000 names, including bureaucrats and party workers, on charges ranging from murder to embezzlement.

The list includes Interior Minister Rehman Malik, Ports Minister Babar Khan Ghauri, Overseas Pakistanis Minister Farooq Sattar, the governor of Sindh province, Ishratul Ebad, and the president's top aide, Salman Farooqui.

Also on the list are the high commissioner to London, Wajid Shamsul Hasan, and the ambassador to Washington, Haqqani — who both deny taking advantage of the amnesty. Haqqani has sued to have his name removed from the list.

Why are Israelis not interested in being vaccinated? - less than 2% take a shot

Curiously, only 1.3 percent of Israeli residents have received the H1N1 vaccination, although, the first 350,000 doses became available over a month ago.  And, many of the 96,772  who were vaccinated work in the health system.

(Acccording to the latest figures of the Center for Disease Control.)

One possible explanation for the miniscule number of vaccinations is that Ha'aretz reports that Israel only has adjuvanted vaccine available currently; many MDs recommend that pregnant women avoid adjuvanted versions of the vaccine and many people are suspicious of the additives and the lack of vetting.

Although Prime Minister (and acting health minister) Binyamin Netanyahu has ordered 7.3 million doses of H1N1 vaccine - enough for every resident except for newborns, the average Israeli does not seem interested in getting the shot.

An 11-year-old girl, and two women aged 25 and 77 - all suffering from serious chronic illnesses - died on Monday after being infected with H1N1 virus, the Health Ministry said.

The first died at Haifa's Rambam Medical Center, the second at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center and the third at Wolfson Medical Center in Holon. They were the 61st, 62nd and 63rd Israelis listed as victims of the H1N1 flu strain, even though in none of the cases could the deaths be blamed on the virus due to lack of autopsies.

 Around the world, about 8,200 people have died of H1N1 flu, according to the latest report.

Legal Opinion: Your employer CAN require you to get vaccinated –some exclusions: religion, disability, "improperly vetted vaccine"

EARL NASH, WTFG Legal Correspondent

Can employers mandate vaccinations of employees?

 "Yes." says the author (Michels)  in a recent article, "Employers ask: Can we require Swine Flu Shots For Workers."

 
In the private arena "the law is pretty well established" regarding an employer's right to mandate vaccinations. If an employer can establish a legitimate business need or objective, he said, vaccinations against various illnesses can be a legitimate job qualification.

However, he added, employees may be able to challenge the uniqueness of the H1N1 vaccine, which has not been tested in the standard way:

 "The question will be...has this been properly licensed, or are we requiring people to get vaccinated with something that is either experimental or not properly vetted," Michels said. "I think that's an open issue."

“The better question is what if employees refuse? They will be considered insubordinate. If they have a right to a due process type hearing, such as arbitration, I could not imagine that any arbitrator would impose a severe form of discipline unless the facts were extreme-say when the employee may work with high risk patients.” (Mitchell H. Rubinstein, http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/adjunctprofs/)

But, a subsection of recent publication, EEOC Issues Technical Assistance Document on Pandemic Planning in the Workplace (http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/pandemic_flu.html) suggests that mandated vaccination of employees may be trumped for religious reasons and for disabled persons:

  5.     May an employer covered by the ADA and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 compel all of its employees to take the influenza vaccine regardless of their medical conditions or their religious beliefs during a pandemic?

No. An employee may be entitled to an exemption from a mandatory vaccination requirement based on an ADA disability that prevents him from taking the influenza vaccine. This would be a reasonable accommodation barring undue hardship (significant difficulty or expense). Similarly, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, once an employer receives notice that an employee’s sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance prevents him from taking the influenza vaccine, the employer must provide a reasonable accommodation unless it would pose an undue hardship as defined by Title VII (“more than de minimis cost” to the operation of the employer’s business, which is a lower standard than under the ADA).⁽³⁶⁾

The report also mentions several related factors:

Is the flu a “direct threat”?

“…if the CDC or state or local health authorities determine that pandemic influenza is significantly more severe, it could pose a direct threat.”

DIRECT THREAT

A “direct threat” is “a significant risk of substantial harm to the health or safety of the individual or others that cannot be eliminated or reduced by reasonable accommodation.”⁽²⁰⁾If an individual with a disability poses a direct threat despite reasonable accommodation, he or she is not protected by the nondiscrimination provisions of the ADA.

Assessments of whether an employee poses a direct threat in the workplace must be based on objective, factual information, “not on subjective perceptions . . . [or] irrational fears” about a specific disability or disabilities.⁽²¹⁾The EEOC’s regulations identify four factors to consider when determining whether an employee poses a direct threat: (1) the duration of the risk; (2) the nature and severity of the potential harm; (3) the likelihood that potential harm will occur; and (4) the imminence of the potential harm.⁽²²⁾

DIRECT THREAT AND PANDEMIC INFLUENZA

Direct threat is an important ADA concept during an influenza pandemic.

Whether pandemic influenza rises to the level of a direct threat depends on the severity of the illness. If the CDC or state or local public health authorities determine that the illness is like seasonal influenza or the 2009 spring/summer H1N1 influenza, it would not pose a direct threat or justify disability-related inquiries and medical examinations. By contrast, if the CDC or state or local health authorities determine that pandemic influenza is significantly more severe, it could pose a direct threat. The assessment by the CDC or public health authorities would provide the objective evidence needed for a disability-related inquiry or medical examination.

During a pandemic, employers should rely on the latest CDC and state or local public health assessments. While the EEOC recognizes that public health recommendations may change during a crisis and differ between states, employers are expected to make their best efforts to obtain public health advice that is contemporaneous and appropriate for their location, and to make reasonable assessments of conditions in their workplace based on this information.

Generally, ADA-covered employers should consider simply encouraging employees to get the influenza vaccine rather than requiring them to take it.

During a pandemic, may an employer require its employees to adopt infection-control practices, such as regular hand washing, at the workplace?

Yes. Requiring infection control practices, such as regular hand washing, coughing and sneezing etiquette, and proper tissue usage and disposal, does not implicate the ADA.

During a pandemic, may an employer require its employees to wear personal protective equipment (e.g., face masks, gloves, or gowns) designed to reduce the transmission of pandemic infection?

Yes. An employer may require employees to wear personal protective equipment during a pandemic. However, where an employee with a disability needs a related reasonable accommodation under the ADA (e.g., non-latex gloves, or gowns designed for individuals who use wheelchairs), the employer should provide these, absent undue hardship.

During a pandemic, may an employer ask an employee why he or she has been absent from work if the employer suspects it is for a medical reason?

Yes. Asking why an individual did not report to work is not a disability-related inquiry. An employer is always entitled to know why an employee has not reported for work.

Example E: During an influenza pandemic, an employer directs a supervisor to contact an employee who has not reported to work for five business days without explanation. The supervisor asks this employee why he is absent and when he will return to work. The supervisor’s inquiry is not a disability-related inquiry under the ADA.

AFTER A PANDEMIC

May an ADA-covered employer require employees who have been away from the workplace during a pandemic to provide a doctor’s note certifying fitness to return to work?

Yes. Such inquiries are permitted under the ADA either because they would not be disability-related or, if the pandemic influenza were truly severe, they would be justified under the ADA standards for disability-related inquiries of employees.

As a practical matter, however, doctors and other health care professionals may be too busy during and immediately after a pandemic outbreak to provide fitness-for-duty documentation. Therefore, new approaches may be necessary, such as reliance on local clinics to provide a form, a stamp, or an e-mail to certify that an individual does not have the pandemic virus.http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/pandemic_flu.html

Health Reform Score: 47-11...you lose!

EARL NASH

 

“…and this final score, just in: Big Pharma Suits 47,We The People 11…boy, the Suits remain undefeated against We The People, although, perhaps ironically, they are subsidizing the big contracts and salaries of The Suits…”

 

With all the confusion and complications over the Health Care Bill in Congress, it is reassuring that it can all be represented by a simple score: 47-11; that was how many “representatives” on the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted at the command of who they really represent, when Big Pharma jerks their leash.

 

Even, Henry Waxman (D-LA), a liberal power-broker in the House was unable to muster more than a quarter of his committee’s votes for a health reform bill that would limit patent monopoly time frames. Moreover, at the request of Big Pharma, who wanted to make sure that they got every vote that they paid for, fellow California Democrat Anna “Sneezy” Eshoo insisted on a roll call vote, so that names could be recorded.  Or, maybe she just wanted to make sure that Big Pharma knew that she voted against We The People to assure a generous campaign contribution?

 

And, there is big money at stake:  in just the first half of the year, drug and biotech companies and their trade associations spent $110 million for lobbying the “representatives” of We The People; that’s a tidy $609,000 per DAY.

 

Big Pharma doesn’t have a lobbyist whore for every person in Congress; they actually have 2.3 lobby sluts, a total of 1,228 conscious-less zombies humping the legs of “representatives” 24/7.  Over the past three years the members of Waxman’s committee were handed $2.6 million in quid-pro-quo-donation money.

 

A perfect example of the revolving doors between Congress and K-street street walkers, meet Mr. Jim Greenwood, former Republican Congressman from Pennsylvania, who came out on the other side as head of the Biotechnology Industry Organization, who gloated:

 

“We’ve done very well.  We carried a majority of the Democrats AND the Republicans in each of the committees and by very clear margins.”

Forced flu vaccinations, your legal rights (from FluCase.com)

The Flu Case: a brief summary for use when you approach the police

 
Forced mass vaccinations: Can this really happen in the next few weeks?

In the next few weeks, you could be forced to take a potentially deadly vaccine against the „swine flu“, be quarantined and restricted in your travel along with billions of other people around the world because the World Health Organization, the UN public health body, has declared a global pandemic emergency of the highest level, namely level 6, and so triggered global martial law, even though military law is not meant for a peacetime situation.

The vaccines are potentially deadly

 
There is, however, scientific evidence that the WHO mandated vaccine will be toxic and potentially deadly.

WHO developed a method to use vaccines to kill people in three steps which were described in memos dated from 1972, discovered by Patrick Jordan and to be seen on Dr Rebecca Carley's website, www.drcarley.com.

WHO has now put the theory outlined in those Memos into practice by producing "swine flu" vaccines that will, in a three-pronged approach,

a) weaken the immune system b) inject a huge dose of virus into the body, which the weakened immune system cannot fight c) inject a adjuvant that will create an inflammatory reaction and a cytokine storm

and so kill in three steps as outlined in the 1972 WHO memos.

For information about the dangers of these vaccines check out Dr Rebecca Carley’s website.

Adjuvants: "the new generation of bioweapons"

In spite of the scientific evidence that adjuvants caused the Gulf War Syndrome and are damaging to health and body, WHO is specifically recommending the production and use of vaccines containing oil-based adjuvants in the mass vaccination campaign starting in September.

In a July 13 briefing note, WHO stated:

“In view of the anticipated limited vaccine availability at global level and the potential need to protect against "drifted" strains of virus, SAGE recommended that promoting production and use of vaccines such as those that are formulated with oil-in-water adjuvants and live attenuated influenza vaccines was important.”

Squalene, an oil in water adjuvant, is scientifically proven to be among the worst of the worst in terms of immune adjuvants.

Vaccines classified as bioweapons by regulators

Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline’s vaccines which have squalene adjuvants are classified as bioweapons by the US and EU regulatory authorities, indicating just how much potential for damage they have.

The Czech Republic recently suspended talks with Baxter over the supply of "swine flu" vaccines because Baxter refused to guarantee their safety or to pay compensation, strongly supporting the notion that Baxter knows the vaccines will be damaging.

n addition, WHO is allowing the US government to test only vaccines without adjuvants in clinical trials for the "swine flu" vaccine that are currently underway - and that even though the people of the USA will get vaccines with adjuvants scientifically proven to be dangerous and even though they are not approved by the FDA. This means the clinical results from the clinical trials will be misleading as to the actual impact of these "swine flu" vaccines.

Inadequate safety trials

Vaccines will be developed, “tested,” and shipped for mass distribution in a matter of weeks without adequate trials for safety.

Furthermore, in the USA, an Emergency Use Authorization allows any company that gives experimental vaccines to Americans during a declared public health emergency to be protected from liability if people get hurt.

In addition, there are ways proven to be much better and less expensive for protecting against virus such as the use of colloidal silver.

Vaccine companies sit on WHO's vaccine advisory board

The pharmaceutical companies are already reaping huge profits from this mass vaccine campaign mandated by WHO.

Executives from pharmacuetical companies such as Baxter and Novartis sit as "observers" on WHO’s vaccine advisory board.

WHO refused to release minutes of a key meeting on July 7th when its "vaccine advisory board" -- packed with pharma executives as observers -- recommended to WHO that it order forced ss vaccinations around the world with their vaccines, ensuring them vast profits.

WHO helped Baxter contaminate 72 kills of vaccine material with the live bird flu virus and so nearly triggered a pandemic earlier this year

In addition, WHO supplied Baxter's Austrian subsidiary with the live bird flu virus that Baxter used to contaminate 72 kilos of vaccine material before sending it out to 16 labs this Februarys, so nearly triggering a global bird flu pandemic according to a report in the Times of India.

Because Baxter’s facilities use biosafetly level 3 regulations, this contamination could not have been an accident but indicates criminal intent. The Austrian police are now investigating after I filed criminal charges.

A total 36 people had to be treated preventatively for bird flu in hospitals.

Also, Baxter patented a vaccine for the allegedly new and deadly "swine flu" virus in 2008.

How can WHO declare a pandemic emergency on the basis of a new and deadly virus in June 2009 when Baxter patented a vaccine in 2008?

Swine flu is harmless, say experts

WHO has made a unilateral declaration of pandemic level 6 on the basis of a harmless "swine flu“ manipulating data and so misusing a provision designed for a deadly plague in order to declare a pandemic level 6 and acquire new emergency powers over the globe.

Cases of swine flu are mild, requiring little or no medical intervention. And deaths from the H1N1 virus remain extremely low, at less than one half of one percent of reported cases as of July 6. There is no sign of the virus mutating to become more deadly.

Rapid tests have been shown to diagnose the „swine flu“ wrongly nine times out of ten, casting doubt on the allegedly swift spread of this flu.

The swine flu has symptons virtually indistinguishable from the normal flu and has never so far been isolated in a lab.

WHO changed the definition of the meaning of pandemic in 2003. With the present terminology every year we will be in a pandemic. In fact every year since 1918 would have been Pandemic Level 6 under the WHO's definition.

WHO changed the definition again this spring so be able to declare a pandemic on an alleged spread of a disease rather than its lethality.

WHO scientist mixing Swine Flu and Bird Flu viruses, WHAT is the purpose? predicting or creating new deadly pandemic?

EARL NASH

Swine flu and bird flu viruses are being mixed together by a WHO associate, French professor, Bruno Lina, potentially creating a lethal virus, according to reporter Ester Nordland on the internet news site Norway Health.

When the Swine and Bird flu viruses mix or mutate, a mutant virus as devastating as the avian flu virus and as contagious as the swine flu virus--one worse than the Spanish Flu--will be ready for research, as a new bioweapon, or as another "accidental" release. 

 
Are Lina and his team carrying out this research to find a key to predict how future pandemics will evolve?

Or, are the WHO and Lina creating a lethal bioweapon, under the pretext of having to predict the course of a future pandemic.

Or, will the lab-created Super Flu be "accidentally' released into the environment?

continues from: http://www.siste.no/Innenriks/helse/article4726428.ece

"In one of the safest laboratories in the world, scientists are intent on mixing one of the most contagious viruses in this world with one of the most deadly ones, she writes.

The goal is to find out whether swine flu and bird flu can end up as a deadly mixture, writes the Norwegian news agency ANB.

Swine flu (H1N1) is very contagious, but ends up only killing a minority of the persons who actually get the flu.

Bird flu (H5N1), on the other hand, kills more than 60 percent of its human victims, but only in rare cases spreads from person to person.

At the Inserm laboratories biosecurity level 4 in Lyon in France deadly viruses like Ebola, Marburg and Hendra are locked in a safe. The laboratory is situated in a building that may withstand both earthquakes and explosions.

The researchers move around in protection equipment reminiscent of space suits withan inbuilt supply of oxygen.

Inserm is the national French institute for human health and medical research.

Now a team of researchers in Lyon intend to investigate whether the H1N1-virus will interfere with its more deadly relative H5N1 and become a virus with the most dreadful traits of both of them. If they discover what kind of mutations will occur, and what kind of influenza may appear, it might turn out to be a key to predict, how future pandemics will evolve.

Until now they have investigated, how H1N1 can develop resistancy towards the pharmaceutical product Tamiflu.

Now the primal investigator of the research team, Bruno Lina, hopes to be allowed to mix the two viruses. – It is a controversial study, but it is fundamental research which should be carried out, says Lina to the magazine Nature. – If you discover, what parts of the H5H1-virus is most prune to change, you are able to be more alert, if the virus change in those parts, says Lina."

As new variants emerge (D225G, D225E, D225N), WHO belatedly admits Big Pharma Swine flu vaccine will be useless, worth less

EARL NASH

WHO scientists, after stating they didn't think an announcement was required, now acknowledge that the Swine flu vaccine is not efective for viruses with D225G markers.

The resistance to admitting the useslessness of the Swine flu vaccine by the WHO conveniently allowed more time for Big Pharma with the eager assistance of governments and the MSM to move more product and make more profits.   

Moreover, position 225 has undergone additional changes in pandemic H1N1. D225E and D225N have been detected worldwide also raising concerns that these isolates will also be low reactors, which means the vaccine will not provide an immune response for that strain of virus adequate to prevent infection.

D225G case, thusfar, show increases in hospitalizations and death, whereas receptor binding link change in the H1N1 virus to a variant form, characterized by the D225G H1N1 has a D at position 225 of the viral protein Hemagglutinin (HA). The variant protein, D225G, has a genetic change causing a change in position 225 of the protein.

“D” is the symbol for the aspartic acid which is present at position 225 of the wild-type protein.

Glycine, symbol G, replaces aspartic acid in D225G variants.

Hemagglutinin is one of two surface proteins projecting out from the surface of the virus. The function of the HA protein is to bind viral particles to susceptible cells in the host animal.

The receptor binding domain change D225G causes the virus to bind to receptors in the lungs rather than in the upper airways where D225 would bind. Dr. Niman’s prediction was based on his analysis of the public database for H1N1 sequences, descriptions of fatal cases, and what the WHO did and did not say in their reports.

The D225G genetic marker is called a "low reactor," which means it is poorly recognized by the immune system--a stealth mechanism that allows it to "fly under the radar" of the body's immune system.

D225G has been identified in lung tissue of patients who died from the effects of cytokine storms.

The associate of D225G with the Ukraine fatalities led to a survey of samples in Norway, where D225G was found in three patients (two who died and 1 who was in serious condition).  Similarly, France found D225G in two fatal infections, including one who was Tamiflu resistant.

A throat sample from of one of the four fatal cases was tested and the isolated virus was designated a “low reactor” by Mill Hill and/or the CDC. 

The WHO briefing on the situation in Norway stated that D225G was detected in the first fatal cases, suggesting this case was also infected with a mixture.

A mismatch to the Swine flu vaccine creates the potential for a variant, which could create problems, since D225G was found in four of four fatal cases in Ukraine, and several countries (Brazil, Ukraine, Norway, France, China) found D225G in fatal and or severe cases.

A cytokine storm, or hypercytokinemia, “is a potentially fatal immune reaction consisting of a positive feedback loop between cytokines and immune cells, with highly elevated levels of various cytokines. The primary symptoms of a cytokine storm are high fever, swelling and redness, extreme fatigue and nausea. In some cases the immune reaction may be fatal.” Wikipedia. 

“Cytokines are any of a number of substances that are secreted by specific cells of the immune system which carry signals locally between cells, and thus have an effect on other cells.” Wikipedia
