Drug and war profiteering

By Brenda Norrell
As body bags arrived in northern Manitoba in Canada, First Nations aboriginals in the remote west coast village of Ahousaht were falling ill after being inoculated with the anti-viral medication Tamiflu.
Kevin Annett, exposing the genocide of aboriginals in Canada, points out that germ warfare has long been the weapon of choice for governments to exterminate Indigenous Peoples.
This is not the first time that Tamiflu makers have been accused during the spread of a disease. In 2006, when I reported that then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was a stockholder and profiteering from the sale of Tamiflu, I was censored at Indian Country Today. States, including California, were stockpiling Tamiflu. The article was rewritten by editors and published with my name on it. After I objected, I was terminated.
Drug manufacturers and corporations profiteering from the war are obvious. A large portion of the commercials on television now hype new drugs, with warnings that they will destroy your liver, cause a stroke, or even kill you.
The new approach on war commercials is to appeal to economically desperate youths, poor whites and people of color. The commercials make it appear that parents will love their children more if they join the military. What those commercials don't show are the body bags, coffins of soldiers coming home and the destroyed lives of those who never recover or spend their lives trying to get treatment as veterans. Those commercials don't reveal the women soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan that live in fear, of not just being killed, but of being raped in remote locations by their fellow US soldiers.
After the spread of the hantavirus on the Navajo Nation, makers of Ribavirin attempted to profiteer, but the Navajo Nation Council prevented the use of Navajos as guinea pigs.
As the news continues to be censored, here is Annett's statement on the real pandemic:

The Mask Slips, for Those with Eyes to See:
Preparing for the Real Pandemic
by Kevin D. Annett, M.A., M.Div.


(Updated: 09.22.09)
Last week, many of the aboriginal people in the remote west coast village of Ahousaht were treated with Tamilfu (or other anti-virals). Some may have received seasonal flu shots too. Today, over a hundred of them are sick, and the sickness is spreading.

In the same week, body bags were sent to similarly remote native reserves in northern Manitoba that have also received Tamiflu (or other antivirals).

On the face of things, it appears that seasonal flu vaccinations and/or antiviral medications are causing a sickness that is being deliberately aimed at aboriginal people across Canada, and this sickness will be fatal: a fact acknowledged by the Canadian government by their "routine" sending of body bags to these Indian villages.

Before you express your shock and denial at the idea that people are being racially targeted and killed, remember that murdering Indians with vaccinations is not a new or abnormal thing in Canada. Indeed, it's how we Europeans "won the land", and it's one of the ways we keep it.

In 1862, Anglican church missionaries Rev. John Sheepshanks and Robert Brown inoculated interior Salish Indians in B.C. with a live smallpox virus that wiped out entire native communities within a month, just prior to the settlement of this native land by gold prospectors associated with these missionaries and government officials.

In 1909, Dr. Peter Bryce of the Indian Affairs department in Ottawa claimed that Catholic and Protestant churches were deliberately exposing native children to smallpox and tuberculosis in residential schools across Canada, and letting them die untreated. Thousands of children died as a result. (Globe and Mail, April 24, 2007)

In 1932, B.C. provincial police attempted to lay charges against Catholic missionaries who had sent smallpox-laden Indian children back among their families along the Fraser river near Mission, BC. The RCMP intervened and protected the church, even though whole villages were wiped out as a result of the church's actions.

In 1969, native children who escaped from the Nanaimo Indian Hospital on Vancouver Island described being inoculated with shots that caused many of them to die "with bloated up bodies and scabs all over", to quote one survivor.

Knowing this history, it's not surprising when Indians on isolated Canadian reserves start sickening and dying en masse from sudden illnesses, after receiving flu shots. After all, it's still the law in Canada, under the apartheid Indian Act, that no on-reserve Indian can refuse medical treatments or experimentation. So it's small wonder that these reserves are the places being targeted first to be injected with untested, unsafe and potentially lethal flu vaccines.

As an entire race of involuntary test subjects, Indians in Canada are a weather vane for what will befall all of us, and very soon. For the very techniques and weapons of genocide perfected against aboriginal people are now being deployed against "mainstream" Canadians.

Under Bill C-6 (info below), which was recently in 2nd reading in the Senate and could soon become the law, no Canadian will be allowed to refuse innoculations for the swine flu, despite the fact that it is relatively benign and mild, and has killed only people who are already immune-compromised. Indeed, it is astounding that such coercion and dictatorial laws are being employed to deal with what the chief Canadian Health Officer has called a "mild seasonal flu".

Clearly, another agenda is at work; but the time to ascertain and challenge that agenda has all but run out. This coming month (or very soon), forced innoculations and imprisonment of those who refuse them may be a reality across Canada. And for what reason? Clearly, not for public health, considering the sickness and death caused by previous swine flu vaccines.

I believe that the real pandemic is about to be unleashed through the very vaccines being pushed by governments and pharmaceutical giants like Novartis and Glaxo Smith Kline. The shots will be the cause, not the cure, of the pandemic. Of course, those in power can disprove this by simply being the first people to take the swine flu shot: an event about as likely as these companies forgoing the multi-billion dollar profits they will reap from the mass vaccinations.

It's indeed ironic that, very soon, many "white" Canadians may be suffering the same fate that aboriginal people have for centuries. Perhaps it's fitting. For if we are indeed being targeted for extermination, or at the least martial law and dictatorship, we finally can have the chance to shed our complicity in the genocide of other people, and get on the right side of humanity - simply by having to fight the system that is causing mass murder.

DISCLAIMER:
This article has been revised since originally being published here on Sept. 19th. According to the author, the situation is still very fluid with regard to the flu vaccines generally, and measures being taken or being offered to the First Nations villages. He informs us that he is receiving verbal reports from a variety of sources as to what is happening on the ground in various, remote locations which are in a state of crisis (many of which are perpetually in squalor), so something is always going to be either reported or interpreted incorrectly. Kevin Annett stands by the gist of the story and is making every effort to obtain more accurate details and will change them if neccessary, as the facts become more clear.It appears that Mainstream Media has also not reported accurately on this.
See: Canada: Officials deny Vancouver Natives hit by new outbreak
By Dene Moore, THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER, B.C. – A B.C. health official called the Canadian Medical Association Journal “irresponsible and inflammatory” on Thursday for an article about the H1N1 influenza virus circulating in a Vancouver Island aboriginal community. ...
Additional Info:Bill C-6 deals (allegedly) with "consumer safety", and while not specifying any products in particular, it contains a number of tyrannical, police state, provisions that could be used to either remove access to some products, or force others on the public, including vaccines, and according to some analysts, would give power to foreign entities or agencies to make rules and regulations for Canadians, such as the W.H.O. They declared a Pandemic Level 6 and are calling for mass vaccinations world wide, at the behest of Big Pharma, and the elites who own them, and it is no secret that aboriginal peoples are at the top of the list to receive them.

A few notable quotes with respect to Bill C-6 from the Senate:
"All these individuals appointed somehow by the minister will interfere with the day-to-day operation without any scrutiny or any oversight, requiring more documentation. Honourable senators, is that where we want to go with respect to public safety?We all agree that public safety is important. Is this bill the best way to achieve public safety with respect to consumer products?"
"I looked at clauses 56, 57, 58, 59 and 60, they struck me as being unconstitutional in the sense that mens rea is no longer a condition precedent to a criminal offence. These provisions seem to be an extravagant use of the criminal power and I hope that the committee seized of this matter will deal with that issue and ask law officers of the Crown to come and deal with that particular matter. On the face of it, prima facie, these provisions are unconstitutional. I want the honourable senator's comments."
"I heartily endorse honourable senators on all sides of this house and the committee. I hope enough time is put aside and enough witnesses are called forward to decide how many totalitarian powers you want to give to officials to achieve a very worthy goal, which is consumer product safety in this case."

LA Times: Arivaca theater portrays O'odham putting out water

Theater review: 'Visitors' Guide to Arivaca' at Company of Angels
September 17, 2009 2:40 pm
"Visitors' Guide to Arivaca" derives as much from factually informed intent as rampant topicality. Evangeline Ordaz's heartfelt, much-researched response to the immigration debate operates from a decidedly populist perspective.
Commissioned by Borderlands Theatre in Tucson, Ariz., the action transpires around Arivaca, located on the southern Arizona border. It's a targeted entry point for Valente (appealing Justin Huen), a migrant worker who has seen his wife Linda (the touching Marissa Garcia) roughly six months out of their two-year marriage. This time, Linda refuses to wait out the uncertainty until Val returns and takes off with him.
Their perilous trek, hindered by coyote Jacinto (Richard Azurdia), forms one thread in Ordaz's sprawling plot. Another storyline concerns beleaguered rancher Iris (Kathleen Coyne). After a fleeing illegal goes into seizures on her property, Iris' humanitarian actions land her in federal lockup. Here, she meets Big John (Tony Gatto), an itinerant vigilante from Oklahoma, who represents yet another aspect of this daunting national dilemma. As does George (Andrew Roa), defying his Tohono O'odham tribe by setting up water stations. And there are still more characters and issues.
Director Armando Molina oversees some striking designs, particularly Bosco Flanagan's evocative lighting. If his large cast varies in polish, their uniform commitment recalls many Cornerstone Theatre projects over the years.
That goes double for Ordaz's script, though it overloads on pamphleteering and statistical explanations, and could benefit from trims. But if "Visitors' Guide" seems most rewardingly destined for the national academic/community events circuit, its worth is self-evident.

Mike Wilson, Tohono O'odham
Censored News

Mike Wilson, Tohono O'odham who puts out water for migrants on Tohono O'odham land, against the wishes of the tribal government, responds to the ACLU opposing a migrant prison in Tohono O'odham's San Xavier District. He also tells how the Tohono O'odham Nation governmetn is opposing humanitarian aid to dying migrants:
Mike Wilson: "What a victory for those of us opposed to the detention facility. I still don't want the facility on O'odham land anywhere! It's one blood stained injustice heaped upon another. First, the Tohono O'odham tribal Government is vehemently opposed to allowing humanitarian aid on tribal lands.

Second, tribal authorities have authorized the removal of my water stations from Baboquivari and Schuck Toac Districts.

Third, and now the Tohono O'odham Nation is seeking to maximize a profit on the backs of destitute migrants, many who are Indigenous People from Southern Mexico and Guatemala. The Nation is anxious to take blood money from the Department of Homeland Security. Shamefully, we who were once oppressed are now the willing oppressors. (No More Deaths (NMD) press conference was held to protest the conviction in federal court of one of their volunteers, Walt Stanton, for "knowingly littering" on federal land.) I was asked by NMD to be the last presenter and I agreed.

The reality is that as tribal members of the Tohono O'odham Nation David Garcia and I are now vulnerable to arrest and conviction for doing the same thing on Tohono O'odham tribal lands. The legal precedent has now been irreversibly set for federal prosecution of humanitarian volunteers, like us, for knowing placing gallons of water for migrants in distress on any federal properties, inclusive of Native American reservations.

The truth is, despite our mythical notions of "sovereignty," reservations are first, foremost and manifestly, Federal Properties managed by the Department of Interior and it's agent, the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Thanks, Mike Wilson
