FLU 'ODDITIES' BREAKING NEWS

Bush wants right to use military if bird flu hits
04 Oct 2005 --
Dictator George W. Bush asked Congress on
Tuesday to consider giving him powers to use the
military to enforce quarantines in case of an
avian influenza epidemic. [This is why CLG has
been busy as a bee, working on this page:
http://www.legitgov.org/flu_oddities.html.
Pay particular attention to the article which
reveals that researchers went to the UK in 2004
to exhume a body from the 1918 flu pandemic.
And, no one asked 'Why.']
Bush proposes using military to enforce quarantines where avian flu breaks out Dictator George W. Bush said Tuesday
that any part of the country where the avian flu breaks out could
likely be quarantined, and he's considering using the military to enforce
it. [Right. New Orleans and the FEMA camps were the 'dry run.' They are
going full-court press soon, the day the Plame investigation concludes.]
N.H. <http://www.seacoastonline.com/news/special/10_4special7.htm>
officials training for possible flu pandemic 04
Oct 2005 In New
Hampshire, public health officials begin
training sessions Wednesday on
the roles and responsibilities of police, the
courts, prisons and public
health in handling an outbreak, and any
quarantine that might be
imposed. Public Health spokesman Greg Moore said
so many jurisdictions
would be involved because public health would
have to issue a quarantine
order, which could be appealed to the courts.
Those who don't comply
could be jailed. [Oh, the courts. Yeah, the
'courts' are sure going to
help. LOL! Bush just installed Damien Thorn as
Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court and a silent sicko is warming up
in the bullpen. Do you
really think Bush's *personal lawyer* - with
twenty years of loyal
service to (and obsession with) Bush - is going
to rule against *any* of
his edicts? Gag me with a chainsaw! Everybody
needs to start worshipping
Amendment #2. And I mean *everybody* and I mean
*now* - while we still
can. --Lori Price]
Tularemia

a Sep 30 message to
health agencies, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC)
said environmental air monitors in the Capitol
Mall [Sep 24, 25]
"signaled the low level presence of Francisella
tularensis," the
bacterium that causes tularemia. The microbe is
one of the six agents
considered most likely to be used by [Bush's]
terrorists as a biological
weapon.

their great faith in believing in the

CDC locks

up flu
data 03 Oct 2005 Amid growing concerns that
avian influenza will develop
into a deadly pandemic, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
is under fire by some in the scientific
community for hoarding data
crucial for vaccine development. The allegations
come as CDC has issued
new and controversial rules on what data,
documents and other
information it will and will not share with
the public. Open
government advocates are critical of the CDC's
"Information Security"
manual, the 34-page document that gives
officials 19 categories to
shield data from public scrutiny without
obtaining a "secret"
classification.

Scientists are accusing the Atlanta-based
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention of hoarding crucial data that
could help vaccinations at
a time when there is growing concern about a
possible influenza
pandemic. The nation's disease control center is
also under fire from
open-government advocates for recently issuing a
guide on how to keep
data, documents and information from public
inspection.

Biohazard Sensors Triggered 01 Oct 2005 --
Biohazard sensors showed the presence of small amounts of potentially dangerous tularemia
bacteria in the Mall area last weekend as huge crowds assembled there,
but health officials said they believed the
levels were too low to be a threat. Health authorities in the Washington
area were notified yesterday that the bacteria were found in and
near the area between the U.S. Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial, where
crowds gathered Saturday for an antiwar rally and a book festival.
