A Vietnamese company is claiming to have created a successful vaccine, to fight the latest mutations of H5N1 bird flu, and H1N1 swine flu.
VABIOTECH officials say they developed the vaccines by using people who were already infected. The first batch of vaccines showing positive results on volunteers.
Vietnam’s Ministry of Health is praising the company’s efforts.
“He suffered shortness of breath and eventually died on February 21. Laboratory test confirmed he died from H5N1 virus.”-Rita Kuriastuti, Indonesian Health ministry
While more people in southeast Asian countries die from H5N1 the U.S. media is spreading reports that bird flu isn’t as bad as first thought. The February 21 death of a boy was the fourth for the 2011-12 flu season. He died about one week after showing symptoms of flu.
Indonesian health officials say 154 people were confirmed to have died of H5N1 since 2005.
The first 2011-12 flu season death, caused by H5N1, was reported in China in December.
A new study, by Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, says the UN’s World Health Organization’s death rate of 60% for H5N1, is based on severe cases and doesn’t count mild cases. But if your a family member who lost someone to H5N1 that doesn’t matter. The fact is that there seems to be a lot of severe cases of H5N1 in Asia.
I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
By the beginning of February, 2012, more than 2 million people living in Japan were infected with H3N2v. A new study shows most had been vaccinated.
Local health centers from Yokohama City, Mie Pref, Saga Pref and Sakai City, say 80% of the people in those cities, suffering from flu symptoms, tested positive for H3N2v. In Kobe City it’s 100%!
A major problem with flu shots, is that they are based on the previous flu season. Flu viruses are now mutating so fast that it’s possible vaccines are useless.
A U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study says H3N2 swine flu virus is potentially more virulent than H5N1 bird flu.
Unlike the H5N1 flu, in which a U.S. taxpayer funded study showed that humans could manipulate the virus to make an even more deadly version, H3N2 does not need to be manipulated by humans. The CDC study shows that Mother Earth is already mutating H3N2 rapidly and towards a more deadly version.
At the same time, the UN’s World Heath Organization has issued a warning, saying vaccines need to be adjusted for the rapidly changing H3N2 strains.
The WHO says the influenza A/H3N2 component, along with influenza B component, of vaccines should be changed. Also, for the 2012-13 flu season, look out for H1N1 California, H3N2 Victoria and influenza B Wisconsin.
Back to the CDC. The 2011-12 flu season started late, in fact the CDC says it’s the latest start to the U.S. flu season in the past 29 years! The CDC warns that a late start does not mean it won’t be bad.
“While most indicators of seasonal flu activity are currently low, we expect them to increase in the coming weeks….In addition to starting late, flu season can also peak late. In fact, in the past 35 seasons we have seen peak activity….four times in March and two times in April….nor can we predict how severe the season will ultimately be.”-Joseph Bresee, CDC

Israeli media reporting that aid convoys have made it to Homs, Syria. Those convoys are overtly International Red Cross, but covertly Western (U.S./European) military convoys.
The same thing happened in Libya.
Syria has the Red Crescent, the Islamic affiliation of the Red Cross, so why do Western powers insist on using the Red Cross to truck in so called humanitarian aid?
The Red Cross actually had aircover provided by the USAF and Turkish air force. In northern Syria the Red Cross, with the help of Western military forces, has already been instrumental in providing “lines of communications” for so called rebel forces.
Lines of communications is military lingo for not only communications, but supplies like food, fuel, weapons and ammo.
This is not the first time the Red Cross, or any humanitarian organization, has been used to propagate propaganda and lies.
At the beginning of World War One, the British created a crisis in Belgium. They blockaded all supplies to Belgium, after the Germans took the country over. Today we would call it sanctions.
The British initially used officials from the International Red Cross (a Swiss organization) and Salvation Army (a British organization) to spread rumors of Belgians starving at the hands of Germans. Soon the British and United States created a new Committee for Relief in Belgium (CRB) organization. In the Bryce Report (1914) they even said Germans were wantonly raping and killing civilians. Sound familiar?
After the war it was proven that nothing on the level described by the British ever took place in Belgium. In fact, James Bryce himself, who’s name was used in the Bryce Report, said the Report was full of lies!
It was also shown that the British and Americans actually blockaded their own CRB aid ships. The CRB aid was under total control by the U.S. Ambassador to Belgium, it’s said he controlled the food aid to point of determining the portions on each persons’ plate!
More questions: If the Germans were so evil, why did they let U.S. CRB officials into the country? Why did the Germans allow James Bryce to investigate the initial claims made by the Red Cross and Salvation Army? If the Germans were authoritarian and controlling, then how could more than “2.5 million” publications about such atrocities be published, by just one publisher (Wellington House), in less than one year?
James Bryce (a Britisher), is credited by the British government with providing the most damning “evidence”, but he ended up actually questioning the “evidence”. When he went to Belgium to gather evidence for the Report he found nothing indicating such claims of crimes against humanity. He could not even find the locations where so called mass rapes and killings took place. Out of the 350 statements in the Report, not a single one was confirmed!
“For all who know Viscount Bryce, and no European is better known in this country, his name attached to the fatal document is as final as that of the highest court.”-New York Tribune
The British government published the Bryce Report, over the objections of James Bryce. The British and U.S. media had a field day with the Report, yet refused to publish James Bryce’s own objections.
One U.S. economics of history professor, George B. McClellan, even wrote an article for the New York Times Sunday Magazine (1915), which cast doubt on the Bryce Report. He said there was “less evidence of war” in Belgium than in France. He also said “the Germans are doing their best to conciliate the Belgians.” McClellan even said his own experience was that Belgians were happier under German rule, than under pro-British rule.
After the war, less than a dozen cases came to trial, and none of them came close to the level of atrocities claimed in the Bryce Report. In several cases, the crimes that made it to court actually took place after the Bryce Report was issued!
Yet, even today most British and U.S. versions of the Rape of Belgium continue to support the proven lies of the Bryce Report!
The Spanish American War (1898) could be considered the first intentional, and organized use of the media to create false reports in order to build public support for war. World War One (1914-1918) can be considered the first intentional, and organized use of humanitarian organizations to build false evidence to justify war.
Now, a hundred years later both are still being used by the Western powers to justify their evil beastly conquest of the World.
In Libya the Western media reported all kinds of unsubstantiated crimes against Libyan people, but never reported on the fact that the so called peaceful protestors were attacking Russian and Chinese oil workers in eastern Libya. 30,000 Chinese oil workers had to be evacuated! Russian oil workers were still being threatened with execution after the “revolution” was over!
In Syria it’s deja vu. The Western media is reporting unsubstantiated claims. None of the “sources” used by Western officials can be proven. Even the Arab League (AL) observers turned out to be a joke.
Most Western media reported that AL observers quit early because things were so bad in Syria, they were afraid for their own lives. But wouldn’t that be the ultimate proof of their claims, that their own observers fall victim to the so called government sponsored violence?
I read other reports, some amazingly coming from Western journalists, that said some of the AL observers quit not because of what was going on in Syria, but because it became obvious that the AL observer mission was not an unbiased mission, but had an ulterior motive!
“The Arab League now has become simply a tool of the West, because the most powerful countries in there are very much under the Western petrodollar influence.”-Tony Gosling, investigative journalist
“We had the Arab League report which was sort of buried and the Arab League report did blame both sides for the violence. Yet, the Arab League itself is saying that they will support the opposition with all possible forms of assistance. And so, on one hand their trying to be honest brokers, and yet on the other hand they’re not, and the facts are the opposite.”-Neil Clark, contributor to the Guardian
Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other.
The Japanese Labor Ministry has ruled that Tokyo Electric Power Company, and contractor Toshiba, caused a 60 year old worker to die by overworking him! The authorities are ordering compensation for the family.
The man worked only one day at the General Electric designed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant! The investigation showed TEPCo and Toshiba forced the sub-contracted plumber to work non-stop through the night, wearing a heavy hazmat suit. He died the next day.
At first people thought the man died from radiation contamination. Toshiba is refusing to comment.
“Starting from Monday, we will take new strong measures, notably a freezing of the assets of the Syrian Central Bank.”-Alan Juppe, Foreign Minister of France
Another “unbiased” announcement made as the Friends of Syria conference commenced: U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is calling on all countries to steal Syrian assets and boycott oil from the country.
21 February 2012, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) announced they will start pouring concrete! (again?)
They will focus on the floor of the Pacific Ocean, near the water intakes of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, to prevent any further radioactive materials from spreading.
TEPCo says they will begin right away (finally), starting on 22 February. They will cover a 70,000 square meter (22,9658.7 square feet) area!
TEPCo hopes that the 60 centimeter (nearly 2 feet) thick layer of concrete will stop the spread of radioactive mud and sand, for at least 50 years! The job could take four months. The decision was made because high levels of cesium are still being detected in the Pacific Ocean!
People still need to demand an explanation why this decision took so long. And what about the rest of the nuclear plant?
How did the Soviets deal with Chernobyl?
Japan’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency is being questioned by their own experts regarding the safety of nuclear reactors. The Agency responded by censoring their own experts!
A publicized debate held by Agency experts was cut short, when it became clear that the consensus was that the government was accountable for the lack of response to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, and that the current “stress tests” were also lacking.
The censorship happened specifically because of criticisms of the Agency’s approval of stress testing done at the Ohi nuclear plant.
Experts were pissed: “I feel deceived!”-Ino Hiromitsu, Professor Emeritus University of Tokyo
“The panel started to fully review plant safety to prevent another Fukushima! Why are you rushing for a conclusion?”-Goto Masashi, Shibaura Institute of Technology
An official with the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency basically said they’re getting impatient, when he pointed out that the experts have already met eight times about nuclear safety.
Japan is now down to just two operating nuclear reactors, out of 54 total. Most reactors have been shut down for routine maintenance and inspections, but, local governments are the only ones who can OK restart, and so far they all say ‘no way’.
Japan’s major industries rely on electricity from nuclear power plants. Japan’s crashing economy is being caused in large part to its major industries struggling to operate with so little power plants on line. The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency is probably being pushed to convince local governments to get those power plants back on line.
The Journal of General Internal Medicine says diet sodas might keep you from gaining weight, but they increase your chances of heart attack!
Researchers from the University of Miami, and the Columbia University, studied 10 years of health data and soda pop drinking habits in 2,564 New York City adults.
Daily diet soda drinkers had a 43% higher risk of developing cardiovascular problems, than people who drank sugary sodas.
Interestingly, people who drank diet sodas occasionally (not everyday) were in the same category as sugary soda drinkers. The researchers say studies need to be done to find out why daily consumption of diet soda pop increases your risk of heart attacks.
