Born in Deutschland 1965, hometown was Bütthart, parents were not U.S. government employees. However, when father was tricked into joining the U.S. Air Force Civil Service, in 1969, with the promise that we could remain in Germany, we were promptly shipped off to Iran. Due to one of my Iranian educators being disappeared, along with her husband, by the U.S. ally Shah of Iran's Israeli & U.S. created Savak (for the then official terrorist act of promoting the idea that women can vote), and due to my U.S. citizen mother being placed on Savak's Terrorist Arrest List (for supporting the idea that women should vote, at that time the U.S. ally Shah of Iran did not allow women to vote, now they can) we left Iran for the United States in 1973, literally in the middle of the night. At the U.S. Embassy airbase the CIA operated Gooney Bird (C-47) was so packed with other U.S. citizens fleeing our ally Iran (because the Shah gave the OK to arrest any U.S. citizen for such terrorist acts as promoting the concept of voting) that we were turned away by the Loadmaster and had to take a chance on a civilian flight out of Tehran's airport. My father told me he and my mother had three culture shocks; first when they arrived in Germany as civilians, then after being shipped off to Iran as U.S. government employees, then again returning to the United States as unemployed civilians (because so much had changed in the U.S. while they were gone, their only news source was the U.S. Armed Forces Radio & Television Service which heavily censored information about the home front). Since I graduated high school in 1982 I've worked for U.S. government contractors and state & local government agencies (in California), convenience store manager in California, retail/property management in Georgia, California and Idaho. Spent the 1990s in the TV news business producing number one rated local news programs in California, Arizona and Idaho. 14+ years with California and Idaho Army National Guard and the U.S. Air Force. Obtained a BA degree in International Studies from Idaho State University at the age of 42. Unemployed since 2015, so don't tell me the economy has recovered.

H7N9 update: Possible first human to human cases!

13 April 2013 (12:06 UTC-07 Tango)/02 Jumada t-Tania 1434/24 Farvardin 1391/04 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

Reports from Shanghai of possible human to human H7N9 infections.    As well as new cases in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces.

In Shanghai a man whose wife died from H7N9, is now confirmed sick with the same virus.  At this point medical officials say they have no proof of human to human transmission.

Chinese media says there are now 49 cases.

World War 3, Gun Control Front: Super strict gun laws in Serbia fail to stop mass shooting!

“The worst crime in the history of Serbia……The war veteran massacred half a village as it slept!”-Nase Novine

Serbia bans people from owning assault type weapons, and you must be licensed to own a handgun, but that didn’t stop a military veteran from killing his family and neighbors.

On 09 April a 60 year old veteran decided it was time for everyone to die, he killed 13 people, then himself.  He shot his wife but she’s in stable condition in a hospital.

Despite Serbia’s assault weapons ban, and licensing laws, the media claims the people of Serbia want even stricter laws.  Is it coincidence that the Serbian government is about to pass a new law that requires psychological exams for anybody who wants to buy a gun?

I find it hard to believe the Serbian media in it’s claim that Serbians want more gun control, because according to Small Arms Survey 2007 Serbia is ranked 5th in the World for individual gun ownership, despite their assault weapons ban and handgun licensing.

Also, the U.S. main streamer media outlets that reported this mass shooting failed to mention the strict Serbian gun laws.

H7N9 update: Spreads to Beijing! Worse than first thought!

13 April 2013 (22:45 UTC-07 Tango 12 April 2013)/02 Jumada t-Tania 1434/24 Farvardin 1392/04 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

“It is possible that these severely ill patients represent the tip of the iceberg and that there are many more as-yet-undetected mild and asymptomatic infections.”-Human Infection with a Novel Avian-Origin Influenza A (H7N9) Virus, NEJM

A seven years old girl is now hospitalized in Beijing, with H7N9.  44 cases, 11 deaths since the end of March.

The girl developed symptoms of fever, cough, sore throat and headache on the morning 11 April.  By the evening she had been unsuccessfully treated with Tamiflu, her condition worsened and she was hospitalized.  Doctors say oxygen treatment reduced the severity of her symptoms.  Test confirmed H7N9.  Her family is involved in the poultry business.

This follows warnings from Chinese and international health officials, that H7N9 is much worse than first thought.

In a report published in NEJM researchers warned the H7N9 virus is more virulent than first thought, and they warned of global spread: “…the pandemic potential of these novel avian-origin viruses should not be underestimated……..We are concerned by the sudden emergence of these infections and the potential threat to the human population. An understanding of the source and mode of transmission of these infections, further surveillance, and appropriate counter measures are urgently required.”

  The report confirmed claims made earlier in the week by health official in Thailand, it’s new to continental Asia, and it’s never infected humans before:  “The transmission of H7 viruses to mammals has been reported only rarely in Asia. Human infections with N9 subtype viruses had not been documented anywhere in the world.”

Of interest is the first three people to die were treated with lots of anti-biotics, which is odd because anti-biotics don’t work on viruses, and “Antiviral therapy was initiated 6 to 7 days after the onset of illness.”

World War 3, East Asian Front: China evacuations along border! U.S. says no nukes for North Korea!

“North Korea will not be accepted as a nuclear power.”-John Kerry, U.S. Secretary of State

Today, the United States says it can not allow North Korea to have nukes.

Reports that on 10 April China evacuated the city of Huichen, in Jilin Provence, along the Korean border.

Local officials tried to calm things down by telling local media it was part of yearly air raid training.  250000 people were evacuated to underground bunkers!

World War 3: U.S. & China to be rulers of New Global Governance!

“….China hadn’t pulled its weight like it should…..we think the United States needs to do that too….the international governance system is facing a lot of challenges that will require these two countries to cooperate on….”-Scott Kennedy, Indiana University

On 10 April, the National Committee on United States-China Relations revealed a plan to make China and the U.S. the new rulers of the New World Order (aka Global Governance).  Notice in the above quote, the researcher doesn’t think the two countries have done enough!

Scott Kennedy of Indiana University’s Research Center for Chinese Politics and Business, and He Fan of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, presented their case at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, which can be watched in a boring hour long video by clicking here.

Essentially they said it’s time both China and the U.S. become more proactive in trying to control the political, economic and social life of humans around the World.  They encourage both to “clean up their own houses” and then “proceed with caution”.

Kennedy did mention their report had “mistakes”.

World War 3, Gun Control Front: G8+ wants to control your right to self defense & outerspace!

“Ministers welcomed the adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty by the United Nations General Assembly on 2 April……G8 Foreign Ministers continue their commitment to efforts that strengthen and enhance long-term sustainability, stability, safety, and security in outer space.”

“Ministers recalled the decision at the 2010 NPT Review Conference to hold a Conference on the establishment in the Middle East of a zone free of nuclear weapons…”

The G8/Trilateral Commission hypocritically pointed the WMD finger at Iran, but absolutely no mention of Israel, who already has at least 20+ nukes!

The G8/Trilateral Commission are: United States, Russia, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Canada, Japan, plus European Union.

World War 3, West Asia Front: G8 +, Wars in the Middle East will not end, behind Arab Spring!

Syria: “…..reaffirmed their commitment to supporting a Syrian-led political transition, and the work of Joint UN and Arab League Special Representative Brahimi…..called for the UN Security Council to remain seized of this matter…”

Yemen: “….re-affirmed their strong support for the political transition process in Yemen, including the start of the National Dialogue Conference, as outlined in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Initiative and the UN Implementation Plan…urged all parties to comply with UNSCRs 2014 and 2051…..welcomed the generous pledges made by the Friends of Yemen….recognised the stability of Yemen remains essential for the stability of the wider region, and the maintenance of international security….advance security sector reform and ongoing efforts to counter the continued threat from AQ-AP and other violent extremists.”

Iran: “G8 Foreign Ministers expressed their deep concern regarding Iran’s continuing nuclear and ballistic missile activities….Iran has the ability to avoid further isolation and improve its situation only if it promptly addresses the concerns of the international community [meaning the Trilateral Commission, which is actually what the G8 is].”

Israel/Palestine: “Ministers expressed grave concerns about the poor state of the Palestinian economy, and the impact this has on Palestinian state-building efforts. Ministers affirmed their support for the Palestinian Authority and encouraged Arab countries, as well as emerging economies, to extend the fullest assistance possible to revitalising the Palestinian economy.”

“The Ministers welcomed the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire of 21 November 2012 which ended hostilities in Gaza and southern Israel, condemned rocket attacks in contravention of this and urged all sides to uphold their commitments.”

There was no mention of ongoing/current atrocities committed by Israel against Palestinians since the November ‘ceasefire’.  There was no mention that the zionist government of Israel is the main reason the Palestinian economy is in shambles!

Arab Spring: “The Deauville Partnership with Arab Countries in Transition has played an important role in bringing together Middle Eastern and North African countries in transition, regional partner countries, G8 members, and International Financial Institutions in an effective and pragmatic partnership to promote successful economic and political transition.”

What this means is the G8/Trilateral Commission is behind the Arab Spring, and it is nothing more than the Western Christian Financier takeover of Islamic dominated countries, because Islam does not accept western christian financial (banking) policies.

The Group of Eight are: United States, Russia, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Canada, Japan, plus European Union.

H7N9 update: Human carriers spreading the disease?

12 April 2013 (12:08 UTC-07 Tango)/01 Jumada t-Tania 1434/23 Farvardin 1391/03 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

The Beijing Municipal Health Bureau is warning residence that the H7N9 virus is being spread by humans.  They are warning that they have reason to believe people traveling from China’s east coast are carriers.

The Beijing Ditan Hospital and Beijing Youan Hospital are now designated H7N9 treatment centers.

Beijing health officials are also warning that this is the time of year when many birds migrate south, which could spread H7N9, if the birds are infected.

H7N9 update: 11 dead! 43 confirmed cases! New testing will increase reported cases!

12 April 2013 (12:00 UTC-07 Tango)/01 Jumada t-Tania 1434/23 Farvardin 1391/03 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

In their daily updates, Shanghai health officials say another person has died and two more people are sick.  Zhejiang Province reports three new cases as well.

Medical reports indicate the common symptom in the early stages of infection is fever.  Then symptoms vary from chills to coughing to muscle aches.  The final stage is pneumonia.  The average time is five to ten days from contact to the pneumonia stage.

So far no body related to the infected people have tested positive for H7N9, although several have shown symptoms then recovered on their own.  A Japanese researcher said H7N9 is not detectable until the pneumonia stage.  Yesterday, Chinese health officials distributed 160000 new test kits in hopes of detecting the virus early on.

With the new testing kits you can expect reported cases to increase.
