Flu 'Oddities'
FLU 'ODDITIES' BREAKING NEWS
Last updated: Tue, 04 Oct 2005 23:18:46 GMT

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
<http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/cidrap/content/bt/tularemia/news/oct0305tular
emia.html> agent found in DC air 03 Oct 2005 In 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.

Did Bush <http://www.freepress.org/columns/display/3/2005/1221>
administration attack peace movement with military grade biological
bacteria? By Bob Fitrakis October 4, 2005 "What do we make of the
Saturday, October 1 Washington Post headline 'Poison Found in Air During
Anti-War Protest'? ...Coincidence theorists. You gotta love 'em and
their great faith in believing in the statistically improbable
occurrence of events, rather than an alternative hypothesis: that
friends of Bush (FOBs) planted the tularemia bacteria, just as most
likely sent anthrax to Democratic senators and the media."

CDC locks
<http://www.ajc.com/news/content/news/stories/1005/03natcdc.html> 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.

Concern
<http://www.statesman.com/news/content/auto/epaper/editions/monday/news_
34047d86c12622e600c7.html> grows over secrecy at CDC 03 Oct 2005
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.

and Systemic Infection 30 Sep 2005 A relatively rare biological agent
has been detected in air filters serving Washington D.C. in recent
weeks, ABC News has learned -- but current evidence does not show any
indication whatsoever of terrorism [?!?]. The federal government found
six air filters around the nation's capital checked on Sept. 24 and 25
contained "trace amounts" of tularemia, a type of bacteria. No
additional traces have been detected since Sept. 24 and 25. [Gee, how
blatant can they get? We need to start fighting back. Tolerating their
terrorism is becoming the greater crime. --Lori Price.]

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.

Europe.

Britain. Brace for impact 21 Aug 2005 Some scientists are already
drawing parallels with the so-called Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918, in
which another bird flu virus - code-named H1N1 - hit the right genetic
combination needed to trigger human-to-human transmission. The resulting
pandemic led to at least 20 million deaths, double the number of people
killed in the First World War. "The population is higher now, so we
could be talking about 100 million deaths or more," says Prof Neil
Ferguson, an expert on virus epidemics at Imperial College, London. "The
1918 scenario is within what people should be planning for."
