Birdflu pandemic may mean some stay home to die 11 March 2005 --New

Zealand medical authorities may tell some people likely to die from a

birdflu pandemic to stay home and not clog up hospitals. Research

published today in the latest New Zealand Medical Journal predicts up

to 3700 deaths in New Zealand from a first wave of pandemic influenza

and up to a million people infected. " It is likely that some difficult

decisions will be required in limiting hospital care to those where it

would most likely affect final health outcomes, " the researchers said.

Military intelligence warns that avian flu could be used as weapon:

report 10 March 2005 --The military's intelligence arm has warned the

federal government that avian influenza could be used as a weapon of

bioterrorism, a heavily censored report suggests. It also reveals that

military planners believe a naturally occurring flu pandemic may be

imminent. The report, entitled Recent Human Outbreaks of Avian

Influenza and Potential Biological Warfare Implications, was obtained

under the Access to Information Act by The Canadian Press. It was

prepared by the J2 Directorate of Strategic Intelligence, a secretive

branch of National Defence charged with producing intelligence for the

government. [is this why 40+ microbiologists have died, mysteriously,

since 9/11?]

Author airs conspiracy theory on Im's death --Someone stabbed

72-year-old retired research Professor Jeong Im multiple times in the

Maryland Avenue parking garage at the University of Missouri-Columbia,

put him in the trunk of his Honda and set the car on fire. A national

radio talk-show guest has theorized the killing was part of a plot to

kill off key microbiologists in the world before unleashing " the

ultimate epidemic. " Steve Quayle, a self-published author and

newsletter writer from Bozeman, Mont., told listeners of " Coast to

Coast AM " that Im was the 40th microbiologist to die under suspicious

circumstances in four years and was perhaps among those specializing

in vaccines and bio-weapons research.

Simulated smallpox terror attack conducted in Washington --Former US

secretary of state Madeleine Albright and former French health

minister Bernard Kouchner were among the dignitaries playing the role

of president of their respective countries in an exercise conducted

here to explore how governments around the Atlantic would react to a

biological terrorist attack in the region. An unknown group called the

" New Jihad " [Actually, it will be the Bush-Rove terror team that

attacks. Let us now discuss the... ? 19 dead microbiologists since the

(Fort Dietrick-generated anthrax) murders in 2001. What *were-are*

they working on???] was scripted as claiming responsibility for the

attack, saying it was revenge for the West's oppression of Muslim

countries... The scenario continued with stock markets collapsing, and

thousands trying to flee cities where the outbreaks were being reported.

UK 'Societal Disruption' doc: 'mass casualties, maintenance of public

order, role of police and armed forces' --Emergency warning as global

flu epidemic fears grow --Planning advice warns of disastrous effects

--UK emergency services have been put on alert as the World Health

Organisation (WHO) warns that a potentially deadly from of bird flu

that affects humans could spark a global epidemic this winter. An

emergency planning document spelling out the disastrous likely

consequences of such an epidemic has already been distributed to

government agencies. ...The UK government believes high levels of

death and illness could lead to public disorder. Quarantine, travel

restrictions and the issuing of face masks are all being considered as

protective measures. Under the heading " Societal Disruption " the

document says the government " needs to consider maintenance of

essential services such as … utilities [and] communication; management

of mass casualties; maintenance of public order; the role of police

and armed forces " .

Killer flu recreated in the lab 7 October 2004, 05:02 GMT 06:02 [Why?]

UK Scientists have shown that tiny changes to modern flu viruses could

render them as deadly as the 1918 strain which killed millions. A US

team added two genes from a sample of the 1918 virus to a modern

strain [Why?] known to have no effect on mice. Animals exposed to this

composite were dying within days of symptoms similar to those found in

human victims of the 1918 pandemic.

1918 killer flu secrets revealed 5 February 2004, 19:00 GMT

--Scientists have worked out how the virus which caused the world's

worst flu epidemic infected man. They believe the virus, which claimed

the lives of up to 50m people around the world, jumped from birds to

humans. The breakthrough, published in Science, should help doctors

identify which future bird viruses pose a threat to man at an earlier

stage.

Flu victim exhumed after 85 years 30 January 2004, 20:08 GMT

--Scientists are preparing to exhume the body of a woman who died of

flu 85 years ago to find out how the virus killed millions across

Europe. [Why?] Phyllis Burn died aged 20 in 1918, a victim of the 20th

Century's worst flu epidemic, which killed more than 50 million

people. She was buried in a lead coffin, thought to be virtually

airtight, in Twickenham, south-west London. Scientists wearing

protective clothing will remove lung samples from the body.

Microbiologist Death Toll Mounts As Connections To Dyncorp, Hadron,

Promis Software & Disease Research Emerge --A Career In Microbiology

Can Be Harmful to Your Health (Revised/Updated) --by Michael Davidson

and Michael C. Ruppert, 3-3-2 (FTW) - In the four-month period from

Nov. 12 through Feb. 11, seven world-class microbiologists in

different parts of the world were reported dead. Six died of

'unnatural' causes, while the cause of the seventh's death is

questionable. Also on Nov. 12, DynCorp, a major government contractor

for data processing, military operations and intelligence work, was

awarded a $322 million contract to develop, produce and store vaccines

for the Department of Defense. DynCorp and Hadron, both defense

contractors connected to classified research programs on communicable

diseases, have also been linked to a software program known as PROMIS,

which may have helped identify and target the victims. In the six

weeks prior to Nov. 12, two additional foreign microbiologists were

reported dead. Some believe there were as many as five more

microbiologists killed during the period, bringing the total as high

as 14. These two to seven additional deaths, however, are not the

focus of this story. This same period also saw the deaths of three

persons involved in medical research or public health. "

Eleven microbiologists mysteriously dead over the span of just five

months. Some of them world leaders in developing weapons-grade

biological plagues. Others the best in figuring out how to stop

millions from dying because of biological weapons. Still others,

The Very Mysterious Deaths of Five Microbiologists --by Ian Gurney

12-20-1 " It is a story worthy of a major conspiracy theory, the script

for a Mel Gibson 'Who dunnit?' action movie, or a blueprint for a

contrived and unbelievable episode of 'The X Files'. ...Over the past

few weeks several world-acclaimed scientific researchers specializing

in infectious diseases and biological agents such as Anthrax, as well

as DNA sequencing, have been found dead or have gone missing. "
