Swine flu hoax
http://martinpeniak.com/index.php?limitstart=20In the developing story about the military origin of the Swine Flu H1N1 virus, an Austrian investigative journalist has just filed a law suit in Vienna against the companies (Baxter and Avir) which are preparing the vaccine against the resulting pandemic on the grounds that they are preparing a global genocide designed to substantially reduce the world's population. Claims of this nature have been a staple among conspiracy theorists, who point to the eugenicist history of, among others, the Rockefeller family, which had supported the Nazi's racial agenda and which today controls virtually 100% of the US bioengineering industry, as well as the UN / WHO. They also point to the fact that within the not too distant future, advances in bioengineering will give man the ability to control the aging process, leading to fears of massive overpopulation.
Evidence that such an agenda is currently in the process of implementation has been collected by Austrian investigative journalist Jane Burgermeister, who has documented evidence of the involvement of Austrian and US firms. A summary of her findings can be found here.
The complete document (mostly in German) can be found here. According to an Austrian parliamentary inquest of March 20, 2009, the Austrian vaccines were contaminated with the H5N1 virus. The allegations confirm the broader scenario that is being outlined by investigative journalist Wayne Madsen, who has been consistently on top of this story and who has recently been interviewed on mainstream Russian TV. He claims that the vaccine, which will be used in a mandatory vaccination campaign to be launched after the WHO would declare a Level 6 Pandemic, will trigger a mutation of the H1N1 virus which will make it deadly, and against which there is no remedy.

June 18, 2009 -- Hybrid A/H1N1 flu tied to genetic trigger for larger, mutated version WMR previously reported on the genetic manipulation of the 1918 flu from tissue extracted from an Inuit woman who died from the pandemic in Alaska. On May 6, WMR reported: "WMR has obtained information from biological researchers that the 1918 Spanish flu genetic sequences were 'manipulated' in order to effect transmission capability. The current H1N1 virus, called 'swine flu,' is reportedly a combination of two forms of human flu, two forms of swine flu (North American and Eurasian), and avian or bird flu . . . Two bio-safety laboratories have been associated with the genetic reverse engineering of not only A-H1N1, the current 'swine flu' strain, but also the deadly Ebola virus.
They are the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, Canada." WMR has now learned from virus researchers that the current A-H1N1 strain strongly appears tied to vaccinations for the seasonal form on influenza. The hybrid flu began in countries where seasonal vaccinations are commonplace and where A-H1N1 did not respond to the normal seasonal flu vaccination antibody, according to researchers studying the new virus. What has some researchers alarmed is that the engineers of A-H1N1 purposely planned to make the virus non-responsive to any available vaccine. There is also a suspicion by researchers that the A-H1N1 vaccine under development will trigger a more deadly mutated form of the virus for which the A-H1N1 vaccine will be ineffective.
On May 19, WMR reported: "What researchers have told us is that as long as the current AH1N1 can infect humans, it will not try to mutate. Even though there have been deaths from AH1N1, most of those infected are sick for up to four days, take Tamiflu or similar drugs, and recover with immunity from the hybrid or 'novel' virus . . . However, with vaccinations, the AH1N1 virus will, of course, be rejected by human hosts and cases around the world will decrease. However, then, the virus will begin to mutate in order to successfully infect human hosts. And when that happens, the new, newly-mutated virus will become much more transmissible and more pathogenic. The nightmare scenario is that the new, mutated virus may take on the characteristics of H5N1 or the avian flu. The vaccines administered for AH1N1 will be ineffective against the new strain of H5N1 and the world may face a more deadlier pandemic then the current AH1N1 outbreak. There are scientists at WHO who are aware of this scenario but their alarm has been suppressed by political and economic considerations." Public health officials in Brazil are now reporting that the A/H1N1 virus is now in the process of mutating, confirming our earlier reports. A new variant of the pandemic virus is showing up in patients in Brazil making treatment more difficult.
On May 13, 2009, WMR reported: "Because of the rapid mutation of the virus and the fact that, unlike 1918, rapid global transportation is now the norm, scientists are predicting that the molecular clock of the A/H1N1 virus, coupled with modern transportation, means that almost all the countries of the world will experience an A/H1N1 outbreak within the next few months."
The prediction about the rate of global infection is being borne out by reports of the virus now being reported in many more nations, including South Africa, Yemen, Qatar, India, and Morocco, as well as uncontained surges in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Utah, and Argentina. In another suspicious turn of events, Ivorian national Konan Yao, a former researcher at the Winnipeg laboratory that has been involved in A/H1N1 research and who was arrested by the FBI at the U.S. border crossing on May 5 trying to sneak 22 vials of Ebola and HIV genetic material into the United States for his new job at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, near Washington, DC, was given his post-plea bargain sentence in federal court in Grand Forks, North Dakota late last month: 17 days in prison which equated to time served and a $500 fine. Yao's federal charge was "failure to present merchandise for inspection," a lesser charge from the original "attempting to bring biological material into the United States without a permit." Yao's new job was at the NIH's Biodefense Research Laboratory. The federal prosecutor who cut the plea deal with Yao is Lynn Jordheim, the Assistant U.S. Attorney in Fargo, who also happens to be the U.S. Attorney's office representative on the Anti-terrorism Advisory Council (ATAC) and Crisis Management Coordinator for the federal jurisdiction and, more intriguing, the "Confidential Human Source Coordinator."
May 19-20, 2009 -- H1N1 synthetic flu may be test run for H5N1 avian fluOn May 13, 2009, WMR reported the following regarding the synthetic A/H1N1influenza pandemic:"WMR has learned from an A/H1N1 researcher that the current "novel" flustrain is mutating rapidly in humans but no animals have contracted thevirus. The enzyme in A/H1N1, as with all influenza A viruses, is called apolymerase. Scientists have calculated the molecular clock of A/H1N1 formthe virus's polymerase rate. Because of the rapid mutation of the virus andthe fact that, unlike 1918, rapid global transportation is now the norm,scientists are predicting that the molecular clock of the A/H1N1 virus,coupled with modern transportation, means that almost all the countries ofthe world will experience an A/H1N1 outbreak within the next few months.
"The World Health Organization (WHO), after indicating it was prepared toraise the AH1N1 pandemic flu alert to Level 6, the agency's highest alertlevel,. has now succumbed to political pressure from Britain, Japan, China,and other nations led by corporate-beholden governments to keep the alertlevel at Level 5. The nations opposed to a Level 6 level argue that H1N1should not be considered by the rate at which it is spreading but by deadlyit is. WMR has also learned that New York's Public Health Commissioner, Dr.Thomas Frieden, has been downplaying the threat from H1N1, even though theflu has claimed the life of an assistant principal of a public school inQueens.
Ominously, the Obama administration has named Frieden to be theadministrator of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta.Political considerations by the White House, Gracie Mansion, and WHOheadquarters in Geneva are overshadowing what could be a more deadlyfollow-on pandemic, according to an influenza research scientist who hasbeen in contact with WMR.The AH1N1 virus has infected some 100 students in Kobe, Japan. Many of thestudents have no history of traveling abroad. There are plans underway tobegin a mass vaccination against AH1N1. However, there are misgivings in theinternational research community about administering an AH1N1 vaccine.
The fear is that once a vaccination against AH1N1 is started, the virus willre-assort itself into a hybrid H1N1/H5N1 strain or mutate into a new H5N1strain. The current AH1N1 strain, as previously reported by WMR, contains synthetically gene spliced strains of two forms of human flu viruses, twoforms of swine flu viruses, and a single form of avian flu virus.What researchers have told us is that as long as the current AH1N1 caninfect humans, it will not try to mutate.
Even though there have been deathsfrom AH1N1, most of those infected are sick for up to four days, takeTamiflu or similar drugs, and recover with immunity from the hybrid or"novel" virus. The vaccination program will be a profit maker for such BigPharma firms as Sanofi-Aventis, GlaxoSmithKline and Baxter International.However, with vaccinations, the AH1N1 virus will, of course, be rejected byhuman hosts and cases around the world will decrease. However, then, thevirus will begin to mutate in order to successfully infect human hosts. Andwhen that happens, the new, newly-mutated virus will become much moretransmissible and more pathogenic.The nightmare scenario is that the new, mutated virus may take on thecharacteristics of H5N1 or the avian flu.
The vaccines administered forAH1N1 will be ineffective against the new strain of H5N1 and the world mayface a more deadlier pandemic then the current AH1N1 outbreak. There arescientists at WHO who are aware of this scenario but their alarm has beensuppressed by political and economic considerations. Our May 13 item stated: "scientists are predicting that the molecular clockof the A/H1N1 virus, coupled with modern transportation, means that almostall the countries of the world will experience an A/H1N1 outbreak within thenext few months."
That prediction appears to be correct. Since May 13, AH1N1 cases have spreadto Japan, India, Chile, Turkey, Cuba, Ecuador, Ireland, and Thailand. Theflu has also spread from southern China to Beijing.May 13-14, 2009 -- SPECIAL REPORT. The history of the synthetic H1N1 fluvirus and a not-so-rosy futureThe history of the extraction of the genetic material from the corpses ofvictims of the 1918 Spanish influenza virus who were buried in Arcticpermafrost is part "X-Files" and part "Jurassic Park." After an unsuccessful1951 mission, that involved U.S. biological warfare specialists, to extract1918 Spanish flu genetic material in 1951 from a cemetery in the InupiatEskimo village of Brevig Mission, Alaska, scientists made another attempt, asuccessful one it turns out, in 1997. Dr. Johan Hultin, from the StateUniversity of Iowa, successfully extracted genetic material from the corpseof an obese thirty-something female who died from the Spanish flu in 1918,along with 85 percent of Brevig Mission's (called Teller Mission in 1918) villagers in a single week. The pandemic killed at least 50 million people around the world.
Once the Spanish flu genetic material was obtained from the lungs, spleen,liver, and heart of the Eskimo woman's corpse, scientists, in a scenereminiscent of the fictional movie "Jurassic Park," in which geneticmaterial from extinct dinosaurs is used to bring the creatures back to life,recreated the long-since dead 1918 Spanish flu in a U.S.-government funded laboratory. The woman's organs were cut into one-inch cubes and shipped tothe Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Rockville, Maryland where thevirus's genetic RNA material was identified and the 1918 Spanish flu wassuccessfully brought back to life.
The search for the frozen bodies of 1918 flu victims was not limited to Alaska. Another team of scientists, acting like Dr. Frankenstein's "Igor,"set out to dig up the graves of miners who died from the flu in the remoteNorwegian mining village of Longyearbyen in Spitsbergen, which lies north ofthe Arctic Circle.WMR has learned from a research scientist who has been working on therecreation of the 1918 flu that the genetic material has been re-engineeredto synthetically create what is now known as the A/H1N1 virus, or as theCenters for Disease Control (CDC) calls it, the "novel flu."The A/H1N1 influenza, which contains genetic material from two strains ofswine flu, two strains of human flu, and a single strain of avian flu, has,according to the World Health Organization (WHO), infected a total of 4880people in North America: 2,059 in Mexico; 2,535 in the United States, and 286 in Canada. There have been 56 reported deaths from the flu in Mexico,three in the United States, and one in Canada.
WMR has learned from an A/H1N1 researcher that the current "novel" flustrain is mutating rapidly in humans but no animals have contracted thevirus. The enzyme in A/H1N1, as with all influenza A viruses, is called apolymerase. Scientists have calculated the molecular clock of A/H1N1 formthe virus's polymerase rate. Because of the rapid mutation of the virus andthe fact that, unlike 1918, rapid global transportation is now the norm,scientists are predicting that the molecular clock of the A/H1N1 virus,coupled with modern transportation, means that almost all the countries ofthe world will experience an A/H1N1 outbreak within the next few months.
What is different about A/H1N1 is that, unlike other new strains of virusesthat rapidly mutate upon emerging and then slow down mutation and then stopentirely, the "novel" or incorrectly-named "swine flu" is showing no signsyet of slowing down its mutation rate and that, according to scientists whoworry about A/H1N1 being synthetically-generated, does not happen in nature.In 2006, at a summit meeting in Cancun, Mexico, President George W. Bush,Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and Mexican President Vicente Foxagreed for their nations to coordinate their response to avian flu, whichwas spreading in Asia. National Public Radio, on April 2, 2006, ran asegment on how bird flu wreaked havoc in 1918 in Brevig Mission.
NPR's Weekend Edition ran a report from Brevig Mission by Lori Townsend of AlaskaPublic Radio:"The grave has been opened twice by the same pathologist. In 1951, JohannHultin convinced village elders to allow him to take tissue samples frombodies buried in permafrost. His lab attempts to map the virus wereunsuccessful, but he returned in 1997, and when he did, he was once againgiven permission to re-open the grave."
WMR has learned from a journalist from Anchorage who covered the 1997 graveexhumation that there was CIA personnel with the team of scientists. Inuitelders of Brevig Mission argued against digging up the graves of the fluvictims would release evil spirits. However, money allegedly changed handsbetween the U.S. government research team and some of the elders, sopermission to dig up the graves was granted.
NPR and Alaska Public Radio was reporting what was extracted from the 1918flu victim's corpse was the H5N1 avian flu virus, but that was erroneous. Orwas it? If what was extracted from the dead woman's body in Brevig Missionwas used to synthetically create the current A/H1N1 virus, there is a strainof avian flu in the virus. But the current A/H1N1 virus also contains swineand human flu strains.
What has been relayed by the researcher is that the original 1918 virus wasthe H1N1 virus. In Bio-safety level 3 (BSL-s) laboratory work that waslargely classified, the virus was artifically combined with common H3N2 anda minor gene splice from the H5N1 Eurasian avian flu strain.The avian flu or H5N1 virus that struck Asia in 2006 contained some geneticmutations of the 1918 virus.
And scientists researching pandemic flu strainshave, since the recreation of the 1918 flu, been playing fast and loose withflu samples. On April, 17, 2005, The Washington Post reported that MeridianBioscience, which was under contract to the College of AmericanPathologists, accidentally distributed the pandemic H2N2/Japan flu strain,as part of a flu testing kit, to influenza laboratories around the world.WHO ordered the labs to immediately destroy the flu sample because it wasworried about an accidental release of the pandemic virus, resulting in aglobal health crisis. In 1957, H2N2 killed a million people around the world.
The Post'sarticle, by Wendy Orent, states that scientists were working tocreate an artificial strain of the 1918 virus: "[Scientists] can combinesome 1918 genes either with laboratory strains that have been adapted togrow in mice, which don't normally catch human flu, or with ordinary humanflu strains to yield new artificial strains. Then the researcher infectsmice with his new strain. Strains using three of the 1918 genes are alreadyknown to kill mice."
The same Postarticle quotes Peter B. Jahrling, the chief scientist at theNational Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, about the danger ofthe virus recreation research. Jahrling stated the research was like"looking for a gas leak with a lighted match." The article continues: "Whatconcerns Jahrling and Brown, among others, is that experiments involving1918 genes are not being carried out under the highest biosafety level,BSL-4. While most of the scientists use what is known as BSL-3 plus, orenhanced, conditions, they do not use space suits, chemical showers orgas-tight cabinets in their work."
Lastly, the article has a stark warning regarding the 1918 flureconstruction at the military laboratory in Rockville, research led by Dr.Jeffery Taubenberger. The article states: "Even more disturbing is what mayhappen when Taubenberger publishes the remaining three gene sequences. Thenthe entire 1918 flu could be built from scratch by anyone, anywhere, who hassufficient resources and skill. It is quite conceivable that resurrected1918 flu could someday be used as a bioterrorist agent."In a January 29, 2006, New York Times article by Jamie Shreeve, titled "WhyRevive a Deadly Flu Virus?," it is reported that the 1918 flu had beensuccessfully revived.
The article states: "In October, a team of scientists,[CDC's Terrence] Tumpey among them, announced that they had recreated theextinct organism from its genetic code -- essentially the scenario playedout in the movie ''Jurassic Park,'' albeit on a microbial scale. In themovie, the scientists' self-serving revivification of dinosaurs leads tomayhem and death . . . . How dangerous is the 1918 virus to today'spopulation? Its genetic code is now in public databases, where otherresearchers can download it to conduct experiments. Scientists from theUniversity of Wisconsin and the National Microbiology Laboratory in Canadahave already collaborated to reconstruct the virus from the publiclyavailable sequence. How easy would it be for a bioterrorist to exploit thesame information for malevolent ends?"
The article details how the 1918 genetic material was extracted and whoworked on the project: "The resurrection of the 1918 influenzavirus was ateam effort engaging the resources of the C.D.C. in Atlanta, an obscuremilitary pathology lab outside Washington, D.C., an esteemed group ofinfluenza experts at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York and oneelderly Swede.
Though the story has been told before, it is impossible notto begin with the Swede. In 1950, Johan Hultin, then a 25-year-old graduatestudent at the University of Iowa, was searching for a Ph.D. topic when heheard a visiting virologist say that the only way to solve the mystery ofthe 1918 pandemic would be to recover the virus from a victim who had beenburied in permafrost."
There has been yet another secretive U.S. government group involved inresearching bio-warfare agents like influenza. Known simply as JASON, thegroup consists of civilian scientists, the top experts in their fields and anumber of Nobel laureates, who meet periodically and issue reports, many ofwhich are classified. JASON has been in existence for 40 years and isthought to be a follow-on to the Manhattan Project, the top secretscientific group that created the atomic bomb during World War II.
In fact,some of JASON's earliest members helped to design both the atomic andhydrogen bombs. Its first three members were scientists at Los AlamosNational Laboratory, the home of the Manhattan Project.Operating under the aegis of the MITRE Corporation, a federally-fundedcontracting entity, JASON scientists primarily met in the highly-securedBuilding 29 at 3550 General Atomics Court in San Diego.
The location is theaddress of the Torrey Pines Institute. Funded by the Defense AdvancedResearch Projects Agency (DARPA), JASON also has links, according todistribution lists on JASON reports, to the CIA. The CIA maintains anelement called the IC [Intelligence Community] JASON Program under the ChiefTechnical Officer.
Traditionally, JASON self-selects its members from anumber of academic disciplines. However, JASON almost lost its funding a fewyears ago, when, after issuing a report critical of the Bushadministration's ballistic missile defense program, DARPA attempted to forcethree new members, obviously political overseers, on to the JASON membershiprolls.
DARPA's chief Tony Tether pulled funding for JASON, forcing the groupfor the first time since its inception in 1959 to look for another Pentagonsponsor. The ballistic missile defense program, also called Star Wars II,was a personal pet project of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.JASON survived when DARPA's parent orgzniation, the Pentagon's Directoratefor Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E), provided JASON with directfunding, an indication of the power enjoyed by the secretive JASONorganization. JASON also has other federal government sponsors, including the Department of Energy.
JASON is also very much involved in issues of biological warfare. JASON produced a report on Civilian Biodefense in January 2000, which was highly-redacted when released. Even the names of the report's authors and the information on four bio-warfare scenarios is completely blacked out, except for a discussion of a 1947 smallpox incident in Scenario Two. The report also states that the CIA's Clandestine Measurement and Signatures Intelligence (MASINT) Operations Center and Counter-Proliferation Center were interested in biological weapons intelligence collection and signatures. A section of the report on "Managing Civilian Response" to a bio-war attack is also completely redacted, as is a section on domestic intelligence. A page on the anthrax threat references "psychological BW [biological weapons] warfare." The JASON report was completed almost two years before anthrax attacks all but suspended the work of Congress after 9/11 and saw the quick passage of the US Patriot Act.
The JASON report also discusses the mining of medical data, including patient billing records, to find out if a disease outbreak has occurred and how far and what direction it is spreading by examining "spatiotemporal patterns," including "averaging statistics for humans traveling globally." In fact, the JASON Civilian Biodefense report mirrors, in many respects, the analysis being currently conducted by medical intelligence (MEDINT) agencies around the world on the outbreak and spread of A/H1N1. And that begs the question: is A/H1N1, artificially-developed by U.S. government scientists, the real thing or a test run for something much worse?
