Hussein’s people won, and the US lost. That’s the history lesson for today.

It is not a Pandemic. Let’s not play into their trap. It’s biological and social engineering. It’s a trial run. On the one hand, Homeland Security is declaring a medical state of emergency, yet the head of the CDC says on CNN that it would be foolish to allow this to prevent travel for purposes of commerce. Well, it really can’t be a state of emergency then, can it, if intercountry and interstate travel isn’t restricted? Also, whereas the “normal” flu has been resistant to Rumsfeld’s Tamiflu, this bioengineered flu just so happens to respond to Tamiflu. Wow, what a coincidence. That dirty fu…..en bastard Rumsfeld should have been executed for war crimes. He’s still on the loose, and up to his evil shit. He is Dr. Evil. Of course, Rumsfeld is just the face of an Evil malevolence known as the Military Industrial Complex, so prosecuting him would be meaningless. The entire system needs to be overthrown and dismantled. Good luck with that.

Absolutely correct about not playing into their manipulating hands with the ‘pandemic’ meme.
There have been only three influenza pandemics in the past 100 years: 1918, 1957 and 1968. I had no problem living through the last two and don’t know anyone of any age who was even hospitalized back then — and I was a New Yorker and knew a LOT of people.
The panic button is taking hit after hit. The EU has recommended no travel to Mexico and the US. Now, according to DavidS’s map, France has cases so I suppose Mexico and US will shortly recommend no travel to the EU either.
Truthfully, I have never seen such panic over a few cases of the flu. As to the Mexico City deaths, any of us would croak from the air pollution there; don’t need the flu to take you out. And to put this all in perspective, on the average 39,000 Americans die each year from plain old influenza.
And don’t forget how they have been pumping us for what, almost a decade, over avian flu and how it was/is going to kill us. I guess now it’s just a race to see if we are going to die from the bird version or the pig version.

For anyone planning a vacation in Cuba, this DNI Open Source Center
Cuban Leadership Overview (made available through Steven Aftergood’s Secrecy News) will help you to recognize the emerging biggies of the Cuban Nomenclatura. The photo-illustrated chart on the first page may be of interest in itself.

Ensley and Obamageddon-
You both are right – as someone pointed-out yesterday; notice the conversations regarding torture have all but been dropped in the MSM? Torture is far more damaging to the american administration than a few runny noses.
That said, did any of you check-out this link Pandemic planned? which I linked to yesterday?
This guy has pieced together a interesting bunch of recent “discoveries” (from the past year) and put them together into a fascinating read… I treat this like most of the kooky crap I read, with a heavy does of Hmmm, but the dude has done a good job of linking all these separate pieces of weird into what is almost a believable “what if?”
Otherwise It’s a beautiful spring day in my neck of the woods, if only I could filter out the bull feces from the governments and enjoy the warm sunshine and green grass.

The natural world, or links between it and us… (tried to post before but didn’t come up or I can’t find it so if repetitive scusi.)
Crossed my mind as I was eating breakfast: An article I skimmed thru some months back in a Nature type J reported a simple study, an analysis of a collection of data over time concerning the size + weight of some of the animals that man hunts, fishes, kills, in the wild. These have progressively grown smaller and smaller. One reason is obvious; we prefer to kill big beasts, because one gets more buck for one’s bang, plus, oh the prestige. The punch line, however, was that our rules for preserving ‘nature’ are way wacky; younger, smaller animals must be left alive, only organisms of size, age / weight X – often mature adults only, are retained/killed. The unnatural selection thus ends up favoring smaller size. If, say, herrings could stay tiny, we wouldn’t get them on our plate at all. Inexorably, they are pursuing that path. All those bio type legislators haven’t read Darwin.
I wasn’t aware that nature was shrinking in this particular way.
Meanwhile, humans continue to sprout upwards and sideways. In the past (about) 20 years Americans have managed to absorb 10% more calories per cap., mostly processed corn. Big Agri on the rampage. If food is a weapon, it is killing Americans in first place. It is hard to call this ironical, it seems flat-out suicidal. An ideology of social darwinism in the hands of humans, because of their powerful tools, will leave only a very few, lonely, winners in the field.
Animals bred for slaughter are not bred for size, but for rapid growth in a short time span. The science of feeding pigs for slaughter is quite advanced. The hogs do react by copping out – getting ill, depressed, giving up, being stressed out and so thwarting their keeper’s plans. Industrial pig farms are a stew of bacteria, sick animals, and tons of antibiotics. Reading even a little about what goes on there can make you sick.

First it’s chickens, now pigs. Another good reason why vegetarianism might not be such a bad thing in today’s world.
