H7N9 update: Japanese researchers say it can jump human to human, sounding warning!

03 April 2013/22 Jumada l-Ula 1434/14 Farvardin 1391/23 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Japanese researchers at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases (NIID) have been studying the H7N9 virus, they’ve concluded it is possible for it to jump human to human!

Chinese health officials supplied H7N9 samples from the two people that died, and one woman in critical condition.

NIID researchers concluded that all three samples had mutated to infect humans.  The samples came from two different areas, but researchers say they were identical indicating the same strain of H7N9 had rapidly spread over a large area.

They also point out that normally H7 strains are not considered deadly, but humans have no immunity to the new H7N9, and there is no vaccine, so they believe health warnings should be issued.

World War 3: South Korea preparing for preemptive strike against North Korea! Will not wait for United States!

02 April 2013/21 Jumada l-Ula 1434/13 Farvardin 1391/22 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Japanese media reporting that Republic of Korea announced they are preparing to preemptively strike Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

It was revealed by South Korea’s Defense Minister, Kim Kwan-jin.

While South Korea has made similar plans in the past, they were always in conjunction with the Untied States (inadvertently revealing that the U.S. has planned to attack North Korea in the past).  This time South Korea is taking a unilateral stance!

South Korea is now using drones (UAVs) to overfly North Korea.  If they suspect the North is about to launch an attack (based on what their recon drones see) they will launch a massive preemptive missile attack.

Morton Grove, Illinois, proof that gun bans don’t work! Anti-gun freaks lie about crime stats! City official admits it’s about taking away your Constitutional rights!

02 April 2013/21 Jumada l-Ula 1434/13 Farvardin 1391/22 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

For those rejoicing at the precedent setting, Obama backed, United Nations gun control law, beware!  Morton Grove, Illinois, is proof that gun control does nothing to reduce violent crime!

In 1981 Morton Grove banned handguns (pistolas).  In 2008, after decades of apparently no overall reduction in violent crime, plus growing law suits, the city quietly rescinded the gun ban.

Some reports say immediately after the gun ban crime jumped 15.7%.    I tried checking on 1981 to 2008 crime stats for Morton Grove.  I finally came across a crime stat site that said: “Police agencies in Morton Grove do not report crime data individually. As a result, we are unable to show you crime data about Morton Grove, Illinois itself…….Independent statistics for Morton Grove, Illinois are not available from the FBI UCR program.”

(Federal Bureau Investigation-Uniform Crime Reporting)

The site then says to use the Cook County UCR.  Even the Federal Bureau of Investigation said, in their 2010 UCR, that Illinois data for that year cannot be compared to previous years, because law enforcement in Illinois changed how they reported data.

This makes me wonder about all those anti-gun articles that claim to have crime stat data showing the gun ban reduced crime in Morton Grove!   I’ve read some anti-gun articles that use UCR data from after Morton Grove rescinded their gun ban, and then they tried to say it was proof the gun ban worked!

If the gun ban was working to reduce crime, why did the city leaders rescind it?

There is a 1986 Chicago Tribune article (Morton Grove Gun Ban Quietly Turns 5), basically a five year anniversary look at the effects of the Morton Grove gun ban. A police official admits it was having no effect on reducing crime: “It’s safe to say the ordinance has had little if any impact on it.”-Bob Davis

A former city official admitted that crime in her city is too complex to solve with a simple gun ban: “Our ordinance here is just a symbolic, cosmetic solution to a complex problem, and I don’t think it has made one bit of difference.”-Joan Dechert

The article also quotes a city official, revealing his unAmerican attitude and his desire to destroy your Constitutional rights: “We proved once and for all that there is no constitutional right for a person to own a pistol. In that sense, the law has been a tremendous success.”-Martin Ashman, Village Corporation Counsel

But even the unAmerican Martin Ashman admitted that the gun ban wasn’t doing what they wanted it to: “We haven’t really seen much benefit from the ordinance yet. I don’t expect to in the near future. But maybe our grandchildren will get some real benefit out of it?”   (can you say Ass Hole!)

U.S. city fights back against U.S. backed Global Gun Control. Gun ownership now mandatory! Gun ownership does result in less crime!

“In order to provide for the emergency management of the city, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore.”-city of Nelson statement

The city of Nelson, Georgia U.S.A., passed a new gun control law on 01 April 2013.  That law makes in mandatory to own a gun!

The law exempts people who can’t afford to buy a gun, people with mental or physical problems, felons, and pacifists.

Neslon is the second city in Georgia to pass such a law.  Kennesaw is the other.

Kennesaw passed their law back in 1982, and city officials say it resulted in a huge drop in crime, by 89%!

“It did drop after it was passed.  After it initially dropped, it stayed at the same low level for the past 16 years!”-Robert Jones, Kennesaw Historical Society, statement made regarding crime stats from 1982 to 1998

By 2007 Kennesaw had gone 25 years without a single murder.

The American Civil Liberties Union challenged the law in court, and lost, because the law is Constitutional!

World War 3: China & Japan say North Korea re-starting nuclear complex is act of War!

“North Korea’s announcement is deplorable, and we are on alert…”-Hong Lei, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman

“It’s a provocative act that goes against the six party agreement.  It constitutes a violation of UN Security Council resolutions.  Japan needs to treat this as a matter of utmost concern.”-Yoshihide Suga, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary

World War 3: North Korea re-starts nuclear complex! UN leader hints at first strike by United States! Reports that North Korea could adopt German economic laws?

02 April 2013/21 Jumada l-Ula 1434/13 Farvardin 1391/22 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“…the current crisis has already gone too far.  Nuclear threats are not a game…….I’m convinced that nobody wants to attack DPRK because of disagreements about its political system or foreign policy. However, I’m afraid that others will respond firmly to any direct military provocation.”-Ban Ki-moon, United Nations Secretary General

The UN leader made the statement after the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea announced it was re-starting the Nyongbyon (Yongbyon) nuclear complex. 

“We are taking action to refurbish and reactivate the reactor together with all other nuclear facilities in Yongbyon including a uranium enrichment plant.  The decision is in line with our two-track strategies of building the economy and developing nuclear power at the same time.…All projects will be executed without delay.”-DPRK statement

The complex was shut down in 2007, as part of agreements with the United States, Republic of Korea and China.  South Korean officials said the nuclear complex re-start was a violation of agreements that could justify war: “I watched the report. It would be very regrettable if the news report is true.”–Cho Tai-young, ROK government spokesman

In Germany, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported that DPRK officials are seeking help from German economists and lawyers in changing their economic policies. Apparently North Korea does not want to follow China’s lead in economic policy, and is more interested in Vietnam’s economic model.

The four people who are sick are all in critical condition.  They all live in different areas of the province.  Health officials suspect they got infected sometime in the middle of March.  They were hospitalized by the end of March.  Test results were in by 01 and 02 April, confirming H7N9.

One woman is known to be a poultry culler.  Health officials are also monitoring people who’ve been in recent contact with the four new cases.

World War 3: Israel & Turkey make peace just in time to take over Cyprus’ Block 12/Aphrodite! More proof the war in Syria, and in Lebanon, is about Leviathan’s petroleum! Preemptive strike against Russia!

02 April 2013/21 Jumada l-Ula 1434/13 Farvardin 1391/22 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“The normalization of relations between Turkey and Israel was an important bilateral step……Israel will maintain its close relations with Cyprus, and continue strengthening them as we have done the last few years.”-Shani Cooper, Israeli deputy ambassador to Cyprus, 24 March 2013

According to the Cyprus Mail, U.S. President Barack Obama’s push to get Turkey and Israel to kiss and make up was part of the takeover of Cyprus.

You see, the real reason that Turkey, long the only regional ally of Israel, called Israel a new enemy was because of disagreements over how to handle the projected huge outflows from the massive Levant Basin Province petroleum fields in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.  (officially Turkey said it was because Israel refused to apologize for killing Turkish citizens)

In steps Barack Obama three years later, on his first trip to Israel, suddenly Israel apologizes and Turkey accepts!

U.S. based Noble Energy, and Israeli Delek Energy are the main investors in Block 12 of the Leviathan/Levant fields.  Cyprus sits along Block 12 (Cypriots call it Aphrodite).  Noble Energy and Delek Energy want to sell that Block 12 natural gas to Turkey.

Israel and Turkey had considered a pipeline between their two countries, but Lebanon and Syria are in the way, and the western backed civil war failed to have the quick results they expected.

The current options are build a pipeline from gas fields in Israeli controlled water, around Lebanese and Syrian controlled water, trough Cyrpus’ water on its way to turkey.  Or, build a pipeline directly from Cyprus’ Block 12 to Turkey.  At this point the cheapest option is the Cyprus to Turkey route.

“You’ve got a 25-year project. Are you comfortable having Turkey being your best friend for that length of time? ……The key is to find enough gas to make it commercial. And if you can add gas from the nearby Israeli gas field Leviathan, even better.”-unnamed industry insider

There is also speculation that even more petroleum reserves will be found in Cyprus’ territorial water.

“It is naive not to think that they will put everything in one basket in the future: the Cyprus problem, hydrocarbons, Erdogan’s water pipeline project. All of this will come to a head. With Cyprus’ gas reserves, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but let’s hope it’s not a train.”-unnamed Cypriot diplomat

The recent financial takeover of Cyprus, which will hurt Russian investors, might have been a preemptive strike:   “The whole project could provide very robust and meaningful amounts of money that would be coming into the country. If the Russians want to make a killing they will have very high fees, making LNG very costly, and as a result, Cyprus won’t make a big profit. If they’re reasonable, it could work. But you don’t want someone not totally trustworthy having their hand around your throat.”-unnamed industry insider
