“NOTABLES”
Signs of Our Times by Michael Rectenwald
"While
the claims and charges against our governments are not all
necessarily accurate, the belief in betrayal is indicative of
real disease. The signs indicate that the current regimes are
deadly. The leaders who call for 'freedom' pose the greatest
danger to it. Anyone who has looked beyond his or her own
solipsistic, spoon-fed, corporate-mediated horizon can see this
as plain as day...The point is, as purveyors of culture,...our
evolutionary survival is largely in our own hands. We can select
for our own survival! But we must purvey the cultural memes that
will guarantee it."

important to note that the federal death penalty can now be
applied to those 'terrorist offences that result in death".
That could apply to anyone associated with a person
or group labelled as terrorists (bank robbers, Organizers of
demonstrations that cause accidental death, etc), even if it
was an unknowing association. This gives the users of this
law very wide flexibility, and, as demonstrated in

there is a God and that he somehow intervenes to prevent the mad

As
of July 26/05: 117 reported; 5 confirmed by test; 71
confirmed by symptom; 41 suspected; 5 discharged;
21 critical; 24 died.
That
means: 29 outcomes with 24 deaths = 82% mortality, (not
including the 14 suspect cases who died before admission.) Note that only 5 of the
117 cases tested positive for this common pig bacteria, which
does not cause disease in healthy pigs (but may cause problems if
stressed or infected with another agent.) The high case fatality rate suggests the
humans who disposed of the pigs were infected by the primary
infection in the pig, not by a bacterial infection.
Rates that high have been
described for Ebola and Marburg outbreaks in Africa, the H5N1
rate for Vietnam and Thailand, or the early Boxun reports
of the Qinghai Lake outbreak.
Although
some Boxun reports have suggested Ebola,
Thus,
the sudden increase of 37 patients reported above, the widespread
distribution of cases in at least 75 villages, the high case
fatality rate, and the neurological symptoms,
all point toward H5N1 involvement in the expanding outbreak.
Mysterious Illness Spreads In Sichuan China
The high mortality (19 of the 23
outcomes have been death) decreases the likelihood of bacterial
infections, which are rare in humans.
Although the pigs may have a bacterial infection, that doesn't
mean that the pig / person is not infected with a virus.
Although Boxun reports have focused on Ebola, the timing and location of
this outbreak continue to raise suspicions about H5N1
bird flu migrating to or
from Qinghai Lake.
