What about this for a plot – any good writers out there?

2 politicians – rivals – but thrown together and one quickly cottoning on to the fact that together he/they can achieve – and they do – party into power – long period of success fuelled by the charm and skilled oratory of the one and the skilled financial crookery & manipulation of the other – hey ho – things starting to get a touch difficult so boss man decides time to go in order to complete his conquering of the world and building of his financial empire from a more accepting and friendly dinner guest audience.

The other? – Well of course he is handed the poisoned chalice of leadership which by now has poisioned most of the worlds financial systems and comes tumbling down around his ears – does he worry? – not a bit of it – by now he is the consummate manipulator, spinner of spin & crook of all crooks – so he simply presents himself as the rescuer of the worlds financial systems ably assisted by some clever teamwork with his former boss as they deftly manoeuvre into place the new boy on the block who just happens to be leader of the most powerful nation in the world – which of course is also suffering deeply from the crookedness of the financial system engineered by these two crafty and crooked politicians.

Meanwhile the press is getting ever more intrusive and some blatant exposure of the lying and deceit inside the leaders office is this time not calmed by his out and out denial – no – he is actually forced onto the back step of an apology.

Little wonder then that he enters the G20 financial summit hatching a clever plan to divert the world’s attention away from the crumbling and rotten financial and political morass – with a couple of other leaders alongside and shortly afterwards ….well would you believe it… an outbreak of Swine flu which of course is enough to scare the pants off a world already down in the dumps and deftly set up earlier by bird flu to predictably react to such scare mongering diversionary tactics.

Does not take much of a leap of imagination for one to envisage a bio chemist secret agent quietly dispatched to Mexico as a tourist with a carefully prepared phial of potent virus. (More than likely designed to extinguish itself within a few weeks – just watch – I bet this scare disappears in a couple of weeks as quickly as it has begun.) Come on, look at it, this sort of happening is only the daily grist of the main time scary TV dramas we are repeatedly fed.

Oh! And of course we must remember the design includes the advantage of offering ‘New Boy’ some help – I mean that Mexico border and the immigrants – put a stop to that for a while eh!

And what a lucky break for our erstwhile and scheming politician – the first planeload of infected tourists to land back home back happen to be from Scotland – just the job – what with them being run by those pesky Nationalists and causing all sorts of problems.

All in all a story with a lot of stinking ‘Brown’ stuff in it. Just wants a heroic and clever rebel agent now to expose it all and fit in a real nice ending. That would of course firmly establishes it as total fiction.

Alert-Potentially Deadly Swine Flu spreading throughout the U.S.

By Michael Webster: Syndicated Investigative Reporter. April 25, 2009 at 11:30 PM PST.

Deadly Swine flu has panicked Mexico and is spreading to the USA. Hundreds of Americans have come down with the symptoms and as we as a nation hit somewhere between 100 to 2,000 confirmed deaths by the Pandemic the world as we know it well change dramatically. In Mexico with under one hundred deaths and two thousand infected reported the Mexican government has closed schools and all other public gatherings and soldiers are patrolling the streets after it was confirmed that human to human transmission is occurring and that the virus is a brand new strain which is seemingly affecting young, healthy people the worst, and that the bug is a never-before-seen intercontinental mixture of human, avian and pig viruses from America, Europe and Asia.

The influenza strain that has struck Mexico and the United States involves, in many cases, a never-before-seen strain of the H1N1 virus. The flu virus is notorious for its ability to mutate and evolve new features that allows it to escape the immune defense systems of its victims. The appearance of new flu strains is therefore a perennial problem for doctors and scientists.

Experts warn that it may be too late to contain the new outbreak, given how widespread the known cases are. If the confirmed deaths are the first signs of a pandemic, then cases are probably incubating around the world by now, said Dr Michael Osterholm, a flu expert at the University of Minnesota.

According to at least one government source the U.S. Government is on the verge of limiting airline flights into the country and forbidding all major public gatherings and that will include closing schools nationwide. The U.S. Government is expected to close the borders and if you’re an American traveling over seas you better head home now as soon even Americans will be barred from entering the country and returning home.

Wide spread quarantines and curfews are expected with National Guard patrolling the streets in America. Much of the Patriot Act shell be implemented and emergency presidenual executive orders to be signed into law to control the people.

Closely held information indicates that this virus may be a synthetic creation and are already manifesting among humans.

Mexican army officer claims the Mexican government believes this virus may have been introduced deliberately by so far unknown sources.

According to medical experts the virus is a very dangerous and deadly “never-before-seen form of the flu that combines pig, bird and human viruses” which consists of an intercontinental mix of viruses from North America, Europe and Asia and there is no known effective vaccine.

Paul Joseph Watson of Infowars is reporting that the “CDC officials detected a virus with a unique combination of gene segments that have not been seen in people or pigs before,” according to AP.

“This strain of swine influenza that’s been cultured in a laboratory is something that’s not been seen anywhere actually in the United States and the world, so this is actually a new strain of influenza that’s been identified,” said Dr. John Carlo, Dallas Co. Medical Director.

Watson further reports that alarming reports are now filtering in about people catching the illness who have had no contact with pigs whatsoever. These include a man and his daughter in San Diego County, a 41-year-old woman in Imperial County and two teenagers in San Antonio, Texas. In fact, in all U.S. cases, the victims had no contact with any pigs.

Dr. Wilma Wooten, San Diego County’s public health officer, told KPBS “We have had person-to-person spread with the father and the daughter,” says Wooten, “And also with the two teenagers in Texas, they were in the same school. So that also indicates person-to-person transfer.”

“Dr. Wooten says it’s unclear how people were exposed to swine flu. She says none of the patients have had any contact with pigs”.

The panic spreading in Mexico, where over a 1000 cases of pneumonia in the capital alone are suspected to be related to the swine flu and the virus, has hit young and healthy people, which is very rare with a flu outbreak. Despite the danger of a pandemic, the U.S. border with Mexico remains open but ICE and U.S. military is on stand by alert should circumstances change and could close the border within the next few days.

The U.S. Government fears that there will be rioting in the streets of Mexico with Mexicans rushing to the hospitals making the situation dyer and people of Mexico panicking and coming north by the millions for medical attention, food and water.

Mexico had less then a hundred deaths attributed to the virus when they started shutting down their schools and museums and canceled hundreds of public events in its sprawling, overcrowded capital of 20 million people to try to prevent further infections,” Reports Reuters.

“My level of concern is significant,” said Dr. Martin Fenstersheib, the health officer for Santa Clara County. “We have a novel virus, a brand-new strain that’s spreading human to human, and we are also seeing a virulent strain in Mexico that seems to be related. We certainly have concerns for this escalating.”

Watson continues by stating the WHO insists that the outbreak has “pandemic potential”, known generically as oseltamivir, a pill that can both treat flu and prevent infection, according to officials.

Those that have a stake in the Tamiflu vaccine include top globalists and BIlderberg members like George Shultz, Lodewijk J.R. de Vink and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

Rumsfeld played a key role in hyping an outbreak of swine flu back in the 1976 when he urged the entire country to get vaccinated. Many batches of the vaccine were contaminated, resulting in hundreds of sick people and 52 fatalities.

The fact that the properties of the strain are completely new, that the virus is spreading from people to people, and that the young and healthy are being hit worst, has disturbing parallels to the deadly 1918 pandemic that killed millions.

It is unclear as to why, if the virus is a brand new strain, that public health officials are so confident programs of mass vaccination, which are already being prepared, would necessarily be effective.

It certainly wouldn’t be the first time that deadly flu viruses have been concocted in labs and then dispatched with the intention of creating a pandemic.

Last month Czech newspapers questioned if the shocking discovery of vaccines contaminated with the deadly avian flu virus which were distributed to 18 countries by the American company Baxter were part of a conspiracy to provoke a pandemic.

Watson warns in is article that since the probability of mixing a live virus biological weapon with vaccine material by accident is virtually impossible, this leaves no other explanation than that the contamination was a deliberate attempt to weaponize the H5N1 virus to its most potent extreme and distribute it via conventional flu vaccines to the population who would then infect others to a devastating degree as the disease goes airborne.

However, this is not the first time that vaccine companies have been caught distributing vaccines contaminated with deadly viruses.

In 2006 it was revealed that Bayer Corporation had discovered that their injection drug, which was used by hemophiliacs, was contaminated with the HIV virus. Internal documents prove that after they positively knew that the drug was contaminated, they took it off the U.S. market only to dump it on the European, Asian and Latin American markets, knowingly exposing thousands, most of them children, to the live HIV virus. Government officials in France went to prison for allowing the drug to be distributed. The documents show that the FDA colluded with Bayer to cover-up the scandal and allowed the deadly drug to be distributed globally. No Bayer executives ever faced arrest or prosecution in the United States.

Infowars reported yesterday that the last time there was a significant outbreak of a new form of swine flu in the U.S. it originated at the army base at Fort Dix, New Jersey.

The Guardian is reporting that there is no vaccine specifically protects against swine flu and it is unclear how much protection current generic vaccines might offer. A version genetically matched to the new swine flu virus has been created by the US Centers for Disease Control, said Dr Richard Besser, the agency’s acting director. However, it could take months to create enough supplies for mass vaccination programs – if governments decide vaccine production is necessary.

Health officials strongly urge Americans to stay at home avoid crowds and hospitals, wash your hands, mouth and nose several times a day and wear at least a cloth face mask.

The outbreak of Swine Flu in Mexico has caused many to go into a state of panic. As of today’s date, there are confirmed infected persons in Canada, Scotland, New Zealand, Spain, and Israel. In the U.S., confirmed infections have been noted in ten states. Therefore, it should not be a surprise to anyone that Travel and Tourism will be at the mercy of this crisis. Over the last three days, travelers cancelled their flights and land based all inclusive vacations citing concerns over Swine Flu. While the cruise lines have suspended all stops to Mexico out of caution, their historical records indicate that the Cruise Lines are, and have always been, better prepared to respond to viral outbreaks when compared to land based destinations.

Since the 1970s the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a division of the U.S. Public Health Service, and the cruise industry established a good cooperative relationship through the establishment and implementation of a Vessel Sanitization Program (VSP). The simple goal of the VSP is to assist the cruise ship industry to prevent and control the introduction, transmission, and spread of gastrointestinal illnesses (GI) on cruise ships. The VSP is implemented through a program which consists of Inspection, Monitoring, Training, and Providing Education.

During an inspection, the CDC inspects the medical facilities, portable water systems, swimming pools and whirlpool spas, galleys and dining rooms, children activity center, hotel accommodations (rooms and suites), ventilation systems, and common areas of the ship. The CDC utilizes electronic monitoring of illness on cruise ships, and must be notified of illness onboard prior to the ships arrival at a U.S. port. Most importantly, all cruise lines must develop and maintain an Outbreak Prevention and Response Plan (OPRP). In the event of an outbreak, the cruise ship is required to increase daily cleaning and disinfection frequencies; stop high-risk activities, such as self-service buffet tables and handshaking; isolate ill people; collect clinical and/or environmental specimens for analysis; and provide daily updates to VSP that include case counts and reports of what the ship has done to establish control.

As you can see, the cruise line industry has been trained and prepared for more than thirty years to handle and manage infections like the Swine Flu. In fact, some cruise lines have successful done so over the years. In addition to all the precautions, all cruise ships, unlike many all inclusive vacations destinations, have medical infirmaries, with the appropriate staff to manage acute situations. Additionally, to bridge the gap, cruise lines, and their agents, usually recommend the purchase of travel insurance to cover medical expenses, emergence air transportation, and other important items, in the unlikely event that illness interrupts your vacation.

Is your all inclusive vacation destination prepared to respond to the Swine Flu in a manner comparable to the cruise line industry? Cruising is the clearly the best vacation value. If you disagree, I would love to hear from you.
