Fox News and it's pathetic fearmongering

The real 'swines' of Swine Flu can be seen on the video below. Oops: that is insulting the noble pig by insinuating that Fox News is an equivalent species. Actually, pigs are much smarter than the pundits at Fox News.

Of course the real tragedy is the viewing audience for this tripe, which slurps it up with racist gravy which actually seems to nourish what passes for American intelligence. Fortunately, the percentage is lower than it once was.

Disgust overwhelms me. Consider the possibilities:

1) This flu is caused by horribly unsanitary conditions dictated by Smithfield, an American corporation located in Virginia, who owns the pig factory in Mexico and supplies McDonalds. Corporate strategy, being what it is, dictated, for profits sake, that the 'factory' be located in Mexico where hygiene and animal protection statutes are much more lax than in the US. More profits. Hey, it's just 'good business'.

Granjas Carroll de Mexico (GCM) happens to be such a Factory Farm concentration facility for hogs. In 2008 they produced almost one million factory hogs, 950,000 according to their own statistics. GCM is a joint venture operation owned 50% by the world’s largest pig producing industrial company, Smithfield Foods of Virginia.5 The pigs are grown in a tiny rural area of Mexico, a member of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and primarily trucked across the border to supermarkets in the USA, under the Smithfields’ family of labels. Most American consumers have no idea where the meat was raised. Source

2) The current virus is completely NEW...and could very possibly have been manufactured in a bio-engineering lab, such has been reported in my previous blog.

According to two mainstream media journalists, one in Mexico City and the other in Jakarta, who spoke to WMR on background, they are convinced that the current outbreak of a new strain of swine flu in Mexico and some parts of the United States is the result of the introduction of a human-engineered pathogen that could result in a widespread global pandemic, with potentially catastrophic consequences for domestic and international travel and commerce.

3) The stock shares of corporations producing Tamiflu vaccine are SOARING. Yes that would be the same as the stocks Donald Rumsfeld holds.

4) The devaluation of the Mexican peso, due to this 'pandemic', dovetails very nicely into the plan for a new currency for the North American Union which has been in the making for at least eight years.

Mexico’s peso sank to the lowest level in almost three weeks against the dollar on concern an outbreak of the deadly swine flu will deepen the country’s recession. The peso depreciated as much as 3.5 percent, the steepest intraday slide since Nov. 5, and was 2.6 percent lower at 13.6978 per dollar at 8:18 a.m. in New York. The decline was the biggest among 176 currencies tracked by Bloomberg worldwide. Source

Any of the above are possibly connected to the current Swine Flu, turning our attention away from the mechanics of globalisation and the New World Order, and requiring people to shake in their boots while wearing masks. Ok...now watch the video. I hope you laugh, or cry; or have a highly developed sense of the absurd.

Santa Bush and his sneaky legislation

'New Unified Command Plan' sounds pretty boring an innocuous doesn't it? But nothing could be further from the truth. This little Christmas present to the American people contains some deadly changes for all. One wonders where the confidence of these 'masters of the universe' comes from as far as financing all these plans, since the USA is bankrupt.

Good timing in the marketing end of it too: slip it through just as people are preparing for Christmas (more than likely the best they will have for many years). This legislation should be read and thoroughly understood by us all. Please feel free to make comments.


New Unified Command Plan
Spells Out Responsibilities, Missions

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23, 2008 – President George W. Bush has signed an updated unified command plan that codifies U.S. Africa Command, shifts responsibility for parts of the Caribbean Sea to U.S. Northern Command and assigns cyberspace and pandemic influenza missions to other combatant commanders.
The revised plan, which Bush signed Dec. 17, is the key strategic document that spells out the missions, responsibilities and geographical boundaries of each functional and geographic combatant command within the U.S. military, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman explained.

Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Joint Staff led the review process, with input from every combatant commander and service chief and much of the Defense Department leadership.

Mullen submitted the plan through Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates to the president for final approval, officials said. Congress received notice of the revisions yesterday.

Major changes to the plan include:

-- Codifying Africom, which became fully operational-capable Oct. 1, as a geographic combatant command by assigning specific missions, responsibilities and geographic boundaries;

-- Shifting the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Turks and Caicos Islands from U.S. Southern Command’s to U.S. Northern Command’s area of responsibility;

-- Assigning every combatant commander responsibility for planning and conducting military support for stability, security, transition, reconstruction operations, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief;

-- Assigning central planning authorities for several global missions, including pandemic influenza response, cyberspace operations, global operations against terrorist networks, combating weapons of mass destruction and global missile defense; and

-- Codify U.S. Pacific Command’s responsibility for homeland defense operations in Hawaii, Guam and other U.S. territories within its area of responsibility.

The plan codifies a new “pandemic influenza” mission and tasks Northcom to plan departmentwide efforts in support of the U.S. government response to an outbreak. U.S. Strategic Command is assigned responsibility for the department’s cyberspace mission, Whitman said.

Meanwhile, U.S. Special Operations Command is assigned responsibility for global operations against terrorist networks, and Stratcom becomes responsible for combating weapons of mass destruction and global missile defense.

“This is a new concept,” Whitman said of the synchronized global planning construct. “What it means is the assignment of responsibilities to a single coordinator to coordinate missions that exceed the responsibility of any one commander.”

The new document is the first unified command plan to assign all combatant commanders responsibility for missions ranging from stability operations to humanitarian and disaster relief. The goal, Whitman explained, is to give added emphasis on these areas to head off problems “before they reach crisis proportions.”

“If all the combatant commanders are out there conducting stability operations, this can have the effect of strengthening governance and really preventing the creation of these ungoverned spaces … that are troublesome and are used as safe havens for terrorist activities,” he said.

The realignment of Northcom’s boundary is designed to improve the department’s effectiveness in its homeland defense and support to civil authorities missions, officials said. The revision follows Gates’ decision in August 2007 to task Northcom to provide civil support if requested by the U.S. Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico in the event of a natural disaster.

Meanwhile, assignment of the cyberspace mission to Stratcom recognizes cyberspace as a warfighting domain critical to joint military operations, officials said. The revised unified command plan will give new emphasis to this capability, they said, ensuring it is protected, defended and leveraged for the United States.
