Drug Companies Profiteering on Swine Flu Hoax


Pharmaceutical companies organized a campaign of panic

Officials profiteered, including CDC head from swine flu hoax, Rumsfeld from bird flu hoax

H1N1 swine flu hoax falls apart at the seams

The great swine flu hoax of 2009 is now falling apart at the seams as one country after another unloads hundreds of millions of doses of unused swine flu vaccines. No informed person wants the injection anymore, and the entire fear-based campaign to promote the vaccines has now been exposed as outright quackery and propaganda.
Even doctors are now calling the pandemic a complete hoax. As reported on FoxNews, Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, a leading health authority in Europe, says that drug companies "organized a 'campaign of panic' to put pressure on the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a pandemic. He believes it is 'one of the greatest medicine scandals of the century,' and he has called for an inquiry."
H1N1 swine flu was never dangerous, and it never should have been escalated to a level-six pandemic in the first place. It was all a big marketing scam whose purpose was to simply sell vaccines.
And it worked! Big Pharma made out with billions of dollars in profits for a useless vaccine that's now being dumped by the truck load. These vaccines were, of course, paid for with taxpayer dollars, making the Great Swine Flu Hoax of 2009 nothing more than an elaborate financial scam whose goal was to transfer wealth from the People to the shareholders of Big Pharma.
In just the fourth quarter of 2009, GlaxoSmithKline shipped $1.4 billion worth of vaccines.
A bailout for Big Pharma
Wall Street hucksters have nothing on Big Pharma, the CDC and the WHO, all of which conspired to mislead the public and generate irrational fear in order to make money selling people vaccine shots they never needed in the first place.
Actually, getting the vaccine may harm your health. Outspoken Dr. Wodarg even says that the full extent of the damage from the insufficiently-tested vaccines may not be known for years. "The vaccine developed by Novartis was produced in a bioreactor from cancerous cells, a technique that had never been used until now," he says.
Cancelling vaccine orders
The Swine Flu hoax has fizzled out, and countries like Greece, France and the UK have cancelled orders for vaccines that they now realize won't be needed. But even the fizzling of this hoax doesn't mean it was a failure from the point of view of Big Pharma.
The swine flu hoax was a huge success not only for drug company profits, but also for certain influential individuals including Dr Julie Gerberding, former head of the CDC who has now accepted a high-paying job as the president of Merck's global vaccine operations.
One minute you're running the CDC, warning the country about a pandemic while urging everybody to get vaccinated, and the next minute you're running the for-profit vaccine division of the world's largest drug company. Amazing how that works, huh?

One of Norrell's final articles in 2006 was on how Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's profiteering from the sale of Tamiflu during the bird flu hoax.
Indian Country Today editors distorted the content of the article by deleting the information on Rumsfeld's profiteering and changed the article so it appeared as an advertisement for Tamiflu. It was published with Norrell's name on it, over her objections.
Rumsfeld profiteered from the royalties from Tamiflu sales as states in the US, including California, stockpiled Tamiflu.

Center for Biological Diversity gives Obama 'C' for first year

Contact: Noah Greenwald, (503) 484-7495

Center for Biological Diversity Report Card Gives Obama Administration a “C” on Endangered Species, Climate, Energy, Public Lands and Oceans During First Year in Office

WASHINGTON DC—The Center for Biological Diversity today gave the Obama administration a grade of “C” for its handling of endangered species, climate, energy, public lands and oceans during its first year in office. While the Obama administration has not shown the ideological opposition to environmental protection of the previous administration and has taken a number of positive steps, the administration has fallen far short of delivering the promised “change” in overall environmental policies. Among the positives are issuing a finding under the Clean Air Act that greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare and reinstating protection for millions of acres of roadless lands, while negatives include reducing protections for wolves and other endangered species and pursuing offshore oil development in polar bear habitat off Alaska.
“The Obama administration has begun to steer the ship in the right direction,” said Noah Greenwald, endangered species program director for the Center for Biological Diversity. “But has failed to provide the strong leadership to get us on the course we need to be to address the pressing problems of species extinction and global warming.”
On endangered species, the Center gave the administration a solid C, as for every positive action there seemed to be a negative action of equal scope. For example, the Obama administration rescinded regulations passed in the final days of the Bush administration that would have gutted enforcement of key provisions of the Endangered Species Act, but retained a rule weakening protection for the polar bear. The Obama administration also moved forward with a Bush initiative to remove protections for the gray wolf, and has only listed two new species as endangered, which is the fewest protected in the first year of any administration since the Reagan administration.
“The Obama administration has not prioritized protection of the nation’s endangered species, meriting their grade of a C,” said Greenwald. “After the dark days of the Bush administration, wholesale reform of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s endangered species program was needed and this has simply not occurred.”
On climate and energy, the Center gave the administration a C-. The administration has taken some very important positive steps, including issuing a seminal finding under the Clean Air Act that greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare, which sets the stage for greenhouse reductions under several of the Clean Air Act’s successful pollution reduction programs. The administration also included millions of dollars of tax credits and subsidies for improving energy efficiency and renewable energy projects in the stimulus bill. However, the administration failed to advance the greenhouse emissions reduction targets that scientists believe are necessary to avoid the worst impacts of global warming either in the legislation being considered by Congress or at the international climate talks in Copenhagen last December. The administration has also continued to grant permits and leases for fossil fuel exploration and extraction, including mountain top removal in Appalachia, off-shore oil drilling off of Alaska, and expansion of coal mining in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming.
“We need bold, swift action to avert the climate crisis,” said Greenwald. “To date, the Obama administration has not delivered the leadership we need.”
The administration has done somewhat better on management of the nation’s public lands, where it received a B+ based on reinstatement of a Clinton era rule protecting millions of acres of roadless lands and withdrawal of the Bush era Western Oregon Plan Revision (“WOPR”), which would have allowed logging of tens of thousands of acres of old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest. At the same time the administration allowed logging of roadless areas in Alaska to proceed.
On oceans, the administration received a B- based on its acknowledgment that ocean acidification is a serious threat and initiation of a process for determining how to address the problem. However, the administration has also allowed oil drilling off Alaska and has weakened protection for endangered sea turtles from long-line fisheries near Hawaii.
“The administration has taken positive steps to address a number of severe environmental problems,” said Greenwald. “We hope in the next few years, however, that the administration will lead us towards the real change for which the American public voted.”

Roberto Rodriguez: Saving Haiti; Saving Humanity

Saving Haiti; Saving Humanity
By Roberto Dr. Cintli Rodriguez

Haiti is changing the way we look at life and the way we look at each
other as human beings. All but the insane and the bigoted amongst us
understand that the people of Haiti are our fellow human beings. The
mere thought of borders is a seeming anachronism. Who amongst us is
questioning the collective responsibility of humanity towards our
neighbors in need?

At this time, with 200,000 dead and 1.5 million homeless, compassion
abounds; what it means to be human and the meaning of humanity is on
full display as we all are struggling to do our part. Yet people are
beginning to ask the obvious questions: Why is it taking so long to
bring in the emergency supplies, the nurses the doctors and the food
and the water? Where are the ships? Where are the airdrops?
Unfortunately, other questions are creeping in: Why can the military
easily get in, but not those bringing in the medicines and the
antibiotics?

These questions are being asked as despair turns into chaos and the
human instinct for survival is also clearly on display on our nightly
news. The desperate search for sustenance is described as
out-of-control rioting. And we are not supposed to ask questions;
simply contribute.

As a society, we are trained by governments and media not to see the
bigger picture, yet it is becoming difficult not to see a bigger
picture emerge. These questions were swirling and bothersome,
especially during this past weekend as the world celebrated Martin
Luther King’s birthday. They were also swirling as 20,000 people
descended upon Phoenix this weekend to protest the racial profiling
policies of Sheriff Joe Arpaio. All these events seemed unrelated, yet
they were clearly connected.

The crisis in Haiti is actually a crisis of humanity; it is becoming
obvious that assisting humanity and destroying humanity are two
radically different ideas. They are two ideas that seemingly have been
fused over the past decade. Since Sept. 11, 2001, as a society, we
have been goaded into believing that militaries are instruments of
justice and that the U.S. has the inherent and God-given right to go
to war with anyone it pleases.

During this past decade, former president George W. Bush, publicly
championed this bifurcated “You’re either with us or against us”
society. To be able to maintain that clear demarcation, bigger
militaries were needed as was the need to protect “our borders.”
Sadly, the current president, while more intelligent and a clearer
speaker, has one-upped his predecessor, championing the notion that
war is also an instrument of peace.

Wrong! War is the embodiment of evil. It destroys, it dehumanizes, it
takes innocent lives, it depletes the world’s resources, it
contaminates and it empties nations’ coffers. As Martin Luther King
often noted, whenever money is spent on war, it is money not being
spent on fighting poverty or on remedying the ills and injustices of
society. And as this particular tragedy edges toward permanent crisis,
where will the money to rebuild Haiti come from?

Why can’t the world marshal its resources to faster assist Haiti –
because the United States and its partners are still in the midst of
two senseless wars? Lest we kid ourselves, wars are hyper-expensive.
Our bloated military is virtually useless in times of humanitarian
emergencies for obvious reasons; they are overstretched and are
trained to kill and destroy, not to save and build. They are not an
emergency humanitarian response team, though it would be great if they
were. Even after Katrina, one would have thought that the nation or
world would be prepared for future crises. That ships were not fully
equipped, staffed and fueled means we in fact learned nothing from
Katrina. The only thing we have learned is that leaders of both
parties are willing to fight an extremely costly permanent worldwide
war. There is no money for such an endeavor, yet the frenzied military
buildup continues, constantly searching out new enemies and theaters
of war. Its justification also continues; demonization and
dehumanization; those we are fighting are less than “us.”

This is the same justification that Sheriff Arpaio and his supporters
use. It permits the building of bigger walls. It permits the
militarization of “our borders” and also permits human beings –
struggling to survive – to be categorized as “illegal aliens.” It
permits racial profiling and police to act as hunter battalions.

After Haiti, how can we as a humanity continue to view the instinct to
survive as a crime? Illegal aliens, indeed!

Bush Formula for Genocide in Disaster

Bush Formula in Disaster: Deprivation, militarization and genocide

Updated Jan. 19, 2010
Martin Luther King, Jr., stood for justice and truth in the face of tyranny and oppression. Today, we remember and honor him.
President Obama's appointment of George W. Bush to lead the Haiti relief, with Bill Clinton, should sound an alarm.
During the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Bush established this pattern, now being carried out in Haiti: Deprive the people of food and water and militarize the zone. As people become more desperate, continue the genocide of people of color with force by the military and assassins like Blackwater/XE. Steal as much land as possible. Permanently displace as many people of color as possible and separate children from their families. Funnel money into private contractors and partner with corrupt politicians. All along, coop the media and deceive the public.
The US is now planning to send Haiti refugees to Guantanamo.
The Red Cross delivered no aid to Houma Indians during Katrina
It is important to remember that during Hurricane Katrina relief, that American Indian Nations donated millions of dollars to the Red Cross, to help Indians hard hit. The Houma Indians in southern Louisiana, the largest group of Native Americans devastated, did not receive a penny of aid from the American Red Cross, according to Houma Nation Chairperson Brenda Dardar Robichaux. It was private citizens and stores that did come to the Houmas aid.
On the other hand, the International Red Cross should be recognized for documenting the US military's torture of detainees in Iraq, as revealed in federal court in Tucson, during the trial of two priests, Franciscan Fr. Louie Vitale and Jesuit Fr. Steve Kelly, who stepped across the line at Fort Huachuca Army Intelligence Center in southern Arizona. Vitale and Kelly knelt in prayer to draw attention to Fort Huachuca's role in the US torture in Iraq and Afghanistan. --Censored News

Wall Street Journal: General to Head US Relief in Haiti
Wall Street Journal - Yochi J. Dreazen - ‎Jan 14, 2010‎
President Barack Obama named former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton to serve as co-chairs of the US relief efforts in Haiti. ...
WASHINGTON–The Pentagon appointed a three-star general to head the rapidly expanding U.S. military relief effort in Haiti, which is shaping up to be one of the biggest—and most challenging—American humanitarian missions in years. Lt. Gen. P. K. Keen, the deputy director of the military's Southern Command, has been tapped to lead a new joint task force devoted to Haiti. Gen. Keen, who is already in the country, will be charged with managing the half-dozen large ships and roughly 8,000 military personnel who will soon be in or near Haiti, which was devastated by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake that may have killed tens of thousands of people.
President Barack Obama named former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton to serve as co-chairs of the U.S. relief efforts in Haiti.
U.S. Special Operations forces managed to reopen Haiti's airport to round-the-clock relief flights, and an assessment team from the Air Force arrived at the airport Thursday afternoon to further expand its operations.

Tellis: Let's put a spoke into Quebec's false claims to Nationhood now!



Let’s put a spoke into Quebec’s false claims to Nationhood now!

By Kenneth T. Tellis

So far the people of the province of Quebec are simply avoiding any mention of what will happen to Indian Territory which they claim is part of Quebec, by simply over looking the fact that the indigenous Indian Tribes were here for millennium Thus the territorial claims lie firstly with the indigenous people of the region and not the Métis (Quebecois) that stayed on the territory of New France that was ceded to Great Britain by France on February 10, 1763.

The Ungava Territory was renamed New Quebec and was put for governance under the province of Quebec but was never part of New France and thus was never ceded to Britain by France, it was purchased by the Canadian government from the Hudson Bay Company of London, England. Since the all the Cree Territory was not part of New France, Quebec has absolutely no claim to it should it ever separate from Canada.

It is now up to the Aboriginal People of the Cree Territories, plus all other territories that are belonging to the indigenous peoples, which about two-thirds of present day Quebec also be part of the new province. That the indigenous peoples of the said region now form their own government and make their own laws, besides declaring that they are henceforth an independent province and not part of the province of Quebec. That all claims past and present to their TERRITORY by Quebec are now null and void. They should begin by issuing of documents such as driving licenses, birth certificates, marriage licenses etc. and establish these in fact to obtain international RECOGNITION. To go to the United Nations and state that they are NO longer part of any European colonial settlement or venture but an Aboriginal Nation now out of the control of Colonialist that seized their lands by military conquest and subterfuge. That they are rid of their colonial masters and have thrown off the yoke of European imperialists and seek recognition as all those countries of Africa and Asia did after centuries of European colonial domination. North America is after all the final frontier of de-colonization and the return to the indigenous peoples of all their territory stolen by the European colonial powers.

Now when the sword is at the throat of the Métis Nation of Quebec, we will see how far they can go to annex native lands that were never theirs to begin with in the past or the present.

UPDATE by Kenneth T. Tellis
Karl Marx said that if you want to destroy a people, first destroy their historyIt was after reading this theory that it occurred to me that this theory could not apply to the Métis society of Quebec, while it may well apply to other societies.
So I began to think out and write the reasons for this. Till the Catholic prelate Abbé Lionel-Adolphe Groulx of Vaudreuil came upon the scene there was no such thing as Québécois or Canadien history that one could to speak about.
So, to offset this issue Abbé Lionel-Adolphe Groulx began to manufacture an ersatz history for Quebec. He was in fact really writing a fairy tale that was to affect the very basis of society in the province of Quebec. People, began to believe his ersatz history as being something very real, when it was really the result of a troubled mind that had decided it was going to create a history out of thin air.
The Québécois were not a very intelligent people to start with and the ideas of Groulx gave them both hope and a new vision of how they could create both a culture and a history and a country based upon his views. The only thing lacking with this idea was that it was plainly fiction and not the reality of Quebec (New France) from its early days under the ancient régime till the British took over in 1763. But as we can see the whole idea was pitted with inaccuracies from beginning to end.
As a people the Québécois were neither resourceful nor intelligent and thus used every means to teardown the history and culture of other peoples. The reason for this was apparent, because I was one of those persons who one of these Québécois misfits attempted to debase out of his inherent jealousy. I had written an article on the Journey of the English Language which upset Québécois Colonel Blimp René Sauvé who claimed to have been a Colonel in the Canadian army so much so that he wrote that I had no idea about languages. The article I wrote received praise from overseas sources and it was quoted by many others as being an excellent piece.
Since most Québécois do not have the expertise or experience in the area of history, language or culture they immediately try to find fault with the work of those who are not from their own community as being valueless. Thus these clueless individuals assume that they have achieved greatness by condemning the work of those who do not belonging to their society.
Of course there is a parallel here set by the Nazis in the early 1930s who attempted to manufacture a Teutonic culture by borrowing from the work of other cultures and passing it off as Teutonic culture. Not one of the Québécois leaders from René Lévesque down really had or belonged to a distinct Québécois culture, because none ever existed. That is the reason why Abbé Lionel-Adolphe Groulx tried to fabricate a culture for the Québécois, where none had ever existed before.
There is of course the misconception that Québécois society accept people from other ethnic groups, but that is a fallacy, since the Québécois are trying very hard to remove anyone from Quebec that does not have a Québécois background. There is also overt discrimination similar to that of South Africa, but a lot closer to Nazism.
