Norovirus / Tummy Bug update, 09 August 2013: Climate change being blamed! Government water supplier being blamed! 20 people dead!

“Bacterial gastroenteritis in young babies is a growing problem in the developed world and an increasing cause of infant death in the developing world. Current treatments involve antibiotics, with more than half of all babies in Europe receiving them in their first year. But antibiotic resistance is a growing problem. Antibiotics also disturb the balance of beneficial bacteria, reducing natural defences against infection.”-Institute of Food Research, United Kingdom

Despite fasting during the day during the month of Ramadan, Muslims are increasingly binge eating at night, and it’s making them sick.  Reports say that hospitals in the Persian Gulf states are reporting an increase in gastroenteritis cases: “It’s a combination of overeating or binge eating, and reduced immunity due to dehydration and bad sleeping habits.”-Rabee Harb, Kuwait‘s Royale Hayat Hospital

In Pennsylvania U.S.A., people are being told not to drink ‘organic’ milk from a local farm.  Officials with the Departments of Agriculture and Health believe it is contaminated with a bacteria called Campylobacter.   The farm has been ordered to stop selling the milk, however the farm owners have third party test results, based on samples of the very same milk tested by the state, that say their operation is clean: “The test result from our third-party lab came back this morning just ahead of (the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s) and it is negative for Campylobacter. But our third-party pathogen-free test does not really matter to the state.”-Edwin Shank, The Family Cow

In Tennessee U.S.A., 62 Robertson County school employees got sick on the same day.   The director of schools thinks they got sick from food served at a school wide teacher meeting, however, that meeting was on a Tuesday and the 62 employees got sick on a Friday.  Health officials are investigating.

In Oregon U.S.A., the Grant County Health Department suspects norovirus to be the cause of an outbreak in the city of John Day.  About two dozen people got sick after eating at a local restaurant.  In Baker City, reports that the city’s water supply was contaminated with the parasite cryptosporidium.   As many as 400 people sick.  One source says this ends the city’s track record of providing 100 years of clean water.

In Iowa U.S.A., state health officials have confirmed 358 cases of cryptosporidium, and 138 new possible cases.  For all of last year Iowa saw 328 cases.   Health officials are blaming it on public swimming pools, but they have not confirmed that hypotheses.

Interesting info on cryptosporidium, according to the U.S. CDC no U.S. city suffered from the parasite contamination until 1984!

The cyclospora parasite (not to be confused with cryptosporidium) outbreak has hit 504 people in 16 U.S. states.  The U.S. CDC still does not know the source.  Health officials with Nebraska and Iowa say they’ve traced the parasites to produce that came from a U.S. run farm in Mexico. The U.S. FDA is trying to confirm the claim. The California based owner of the farm swears their own testing shows their farm in Mexico is clean.

Russia is threatening to ban all Russians from going to Turkey for holiday.  Russian health officials say resort destinations, mainly targeted to Russians, are battling increasing cases of stomach bug infections.  The Russian government is accusing the Association of Tour Operators from not disclosing such health risk facts before selling vacations to Russians.  Last year 3.3 million Russian’s vacationed in Turkey.

In United Kingdom, the city of Hull had to close their East Park kiddie pool because of cryptosporidium.  And the mom of a teenaged boy who died from meningitis is raising public awareness.   Meningitis hits fast, like a tummy bug, and includes vomiting.  This can cause some doctors to misdiagnose it.  The other problem is that there are a growing number of varieties of it, current vaccines do not cover all variants.  Her son died from the rare Group Y meningococcal meningitis. In the empire’s colony of Northern Ireland, the Antrim Area Hospital is being harshly criticized after two years of dismal performance, including dozens of tummy bug cases and a child that died.  An investigation pointed out two major factors; the hospital was built to handle 30000 patients per year, but is actually handling as much as 72000.  And hospital staff are suffering from extreme low moral blamed on the overwhelming bureaucracy of the NHS.

A Swiss study published in The American Journal of Gastroenterology blames heat waves for increased gastroenteritis (tummy bugs, stomach bugs, vomiting bugs).  The study basically says, for many people, high heat temps weaken the tummy: “This study ties heat stress to digestive symptoms supporting the observed seasonal variation in the clinical course of inflammatory bowel disease and suggests that microbial infections of the gut might be additionally influenced by climate changes.”

In the city of Anantnag, India, at least 250 people have been hospitalized with  gastroenteritis in the past five days, at least 300 people infected.  A local doctor blames the water on the outbreak: “Outbreak of gastroenteritis is possible only due to the consumption of contaminated water. There can be no other reason for it.”-Nasir Khan

The people getting sick agree with the doctor’s claims, but point out the water is being supplied by the government: “This all happened due to the impure and contaminated water supplied to the people by the PHE officials. The spring where from the water is supplied is without any cover allowing all the dusty and garbage into it. Besides outside laborers who work on brick kilns in the area also use the spring for all purposes including bathing and washing clothes.”-Riyaz Ahmad Magray

An arrogant unnamed government official with India’s PHE (Public Health Engineering) disputes both claims: “…there is no possibility of the outbreak due to water. The people seemed to have taken some juice leading to the outbreak of gastroenteritis…”

The Kasmir Times reports that the PHE has not inspected their water source since the outbreaks were first reported, about a week ago.

In the city of Mumbai, India, the number of gastroenteritis cases has increased by 123 since my last update.  City health officials say they seen a 36% increase in cases compared to the same time last year.  Some people blame it on water being supplied by PHE.

In the sate of Chhattisgarh, India, 20 people have died in several villages from gastroenteritis.  State health officials say they’ve dispatched four “combat” medic teams to the villages to find out what’s going on.  Cholera is suspected, due to recent flooding, and more deaths are expected.  One report noted that most of the dead are women.

In the state of Karnataka, India, two villages have been declared cholera areas.  This means water must be boiled, the sale of cut (picked/harvested/prepped for eating) fruits are banned, fairs and markets are banned, fried foods banned in hostels.

And in Bhopal, India, dogs are going down to a viral fever and diarrhea known as parvo.  In the city of Jehangirabad, 60% of dogs brought to veterinarians have parvo.  Parvo has a 90% kill rate in India.  Vets blame it on the rainy season.

World War 3, False Flag Op?: Military coup in Yemen? President orders increased security! It’s about the oil!

07 August 2013 (02:40 UTC-07 Tango)/30 Ramadan 1434/16 Mordad 1391/01 Geng-Shen (7th month) 4711

The U.S. puppet President of Yemen, Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi, held an emergency Supreme Security Committee meeting.  He ordered his minions to increase security across the country.

It’s been revealed that on Friday, 02 August 2013, soldiers from the Reserve Forces attacked guards at the Presidential Compound.  Seven guards were wounded.  About 200 former soldiers of the now dissolved Republican Guard were also protesting outside the compound.  That’s according to official government sources, however, one of the protestors said they were regular soldiers, not former Republican Guards: “We are regular soldiers. We demand a raise in our salaries and the annual Ramadan bonuses we used to receive during the time of President Ali Abdullah Saleh.”-Mohammed Yahia Nasser

The protesting soldiers said if their demands were not met they would return fully armed.

The BBC reports that the Yemeni government has placed armored vehicles around foreign missions, government offices and the airport.  An unnamed Yemeni security official said there is a plot to destroy Yemen’s oil industry by blowing up pipelines and ports.  As part of the plan, al Qaeda soldiers are going to dress like government soldiers.

The BBC also reports they have info that U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) are preparing for action in Yemen.

World War 3, U.S. Economic Front: Job losses & store closings 07-08 June 2013. Holy crap, one school district fires thousands! God hates Indiana!

In Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia School District firing 3783 employees!!!  The district’s “doomsday budget” is short $304 million USD: “The layoff notices that will be issued today are nothing less than catastrophic….”-William Hite, Superintendant

Also, near Penn State the Don Memo Mexican Restaurant closed in Upper Darby.  The owners said they had a problem with the new rent: “We tried to work on a new lease but we couldn’t get a good deal on the rent.”-Leo Saavedra

In Michigan, about 45 teachers at the Benton Harbor High School were laid off.   School district officials admitted they were replacing the experienced teachers with cheaper new hires.  The Krazie Kritterz pet store closed in Cheboygan.  The owner had been arrested for not having health certificates for the animals she sold. Charges were dropped but city animal control officials, and private animal rights groups, said the animals were not being cared for and many were sick.  And Fantasy Costume (and dry cleaning) in Battle Creek closed down.  The owner blamed it on declining customers.  And what automotive industry recovery?  General Motors to close its Romulus engine factory.  560 people out-o-work!  The factory is being re-tooled to make a new V-6 engine.

The Christian God can’t stop the closing of 12 churches in Indiana!  The Batesville Catholic Deanery has ordered that churches will be consolidated to save money.  What was that Jesus said about the want of money?

In Decatur, Illinois, Long Creek Vineyards went out-o-business.

In Ohio, Ingels Radio Shack closed in Middleport.   And the Rocking U Restaurant closed in Findlay.  The property owner said the restaurant owner lost his rights to use the building.

The Barking Dog restaurant bankrupt in New York.  The restaurant that allows dogs, is owed money by a hotel client.  The restaurant provided room service for the hotel, but about nine months ago filed a federal court action against the hotel for misappropriation of funds.  The New York Post laid off 13 photogs.  And KeyBank laid off 24 employees as part of their ongoing consolidation of offices.

The Emporium Gallery shut down in Mystic, Connecticut.  The People’s United Bank closed its 118 years old office building in Norwich. The bank is doing like so many others; consolidating offices.

In Georgia, textile maker Propex Operating Company closing its Nashville factory.  Its being blamed on declining orders by the military.

Wisconsin based lawn care equipment maker, Ariens Company, closing a small factory in Alabama.  17 people unemployed.

After 100 years, New York based Climax Packaging company closing its Saint Joseph, Missouri factory.  60 people unemployed.  Company officials had been trying to sell the box factory, but could find no buyers.

The Taverna Opa restaurant bankrupt in Florida.  Specifically the one in the Dolphin Mall.  They are swimming in debt.  And home insurance company HomeServe USA laid off 160 people in Miami!

In Kentucky 110 people lost their jobs with Arch Coal!  Company officials blame the crashing coal market.

Texas based National Envelope warned of bankruptcy and the closing of factories.  National Envelope was founded in 1952, and is one of the World’s largest producer of envelopes.

In California, the operator of the San Onofre nuke plant admitted it is a disaster, and is shutting it down.  The decision by Southern California Edison will affect 1500 employees!  And Ralph’s shut down more grocery stores. This time two in Long Beach.  Ralph’s is owned by Kroger, the same company that owns Fred Meyers and Smiths here in Idaho.  In Mountain View, the city’s last video rental store, Videoscope, closed down.  The owners don’t blame competition, they blame the property owner for jacking up the rent.

In Washington, Boeing laid off 939 employees in Puget Sound!  Apparently these are in addition to the thousands that will be laid off over the next three years?

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shut down.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 25-26 July 2013: More proof the United States is behind the corruption! More Afghans sacrificed for the U.S. & U.K.!

In Helmand Province, the Afghan National Army (ANA) reported that in the past four months of fighting for the evil United States and British empire, 500 ANA soldiers sacrificed their lives for the Red, White and Blue!  ANA officials say that is a dramatic increase from the same time the year before.  And Mujahideen report the successful conclusion to a ten days long battle with Afghan government forces, in Sangin District.  They claim to have killed 83 government personnel, wounded 45, and destroyed 23 vehicles.  Two Mujahideen killed, five wounded.  Also, in Musa Kala District reports that pro-U.S. forces conducted an Israeli style home invasion in Kisi village. One person killed, one kidnapped.

In Nuristan Province, two people killed by U.S. drone strike.

In Paktia Province, reports that three civilians killed, five wounded, when mortar rounds landed on a village during battles between Mujahideen and ANA forces.

In Kunar Province, Manugi District, reports that ANA forces retaliated for a Mujahideen attack by shooting randomly into a village.  At least 11 people wounded.  The night before, ANA forces fired mortar rounds during a Mujahideen attack, some of those mortar rounds landed on the village, wounding eight people.  Mujahideen claim they’ve killed 27 ANA and Afghan National Police (ANP) personnel in a day long battle.

In Kunduz Province, Kunduz city, an explosion killed at least one person and wounded three.  Local government officials say it was caused by a car bomb.

In Jawzjan Province, Aqcha District, two people killed, ten wounded by explosion.  Local government officials say a handcart was left near a cop car.  It was a bomb.

In Samangan Province, Mujahideen claim they blew up the car carrying the governor.  The governor was wounded, four of his bodyguards were killed.

The ANA and ANP have launched Operation Simurgh in Logar and Nangarhar provinces.  ANA officials say they are trying to stop Mujahideen from controlling four provinces along the Kabul-Nangarhar Highway.  ANA reports two of their soldiers killed.

In Zabul Province, Shahjoi District, local government officials claim Mujahideen kidnapped 12 cops.  Mujahideen say they captured the cops in a battle.

In Badakhshan Province, Baharak village, a woman (who graduated from Kabul University by the way) has been exiled for writing and publishing her first book of Iranian love poetry.

The U.S. Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) released more proof the U.S. is behind corruption in Afghanistan.  This time it involves the U.S. backed court system.  John Sopko discovered there is almost no oversight of tens of millions of U.S. tax dollars used to fund the Justice Training Transition Program.  Also, Sopko discovered more evidence that the U.S. is behind the skyrocketing illegal drug trade.  He found that the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs is not pushing for the creation of Afghan laws to fight corruption and illegal drugs!   ‘Training’ of the U.S. created Afghan justice system has been handled by U.S. and European contractors, who do little yet get paid tens of millions of dollars.  The latest contractor, International Development Law Organization, denies SIGAR’s accusations.

By the way, the latest SIGAR report also says that in the past three months alone, $2 billion in U.S. tax dollars have been wasted!

World War 3, False Flag Op?: United States orders citizens out of Yemen! Helicopter shot down! Drone strikes! Preps for invasion?

06 August 2013 (12:34 UTC-07 Tango)/29 Ramadan 1434/15 Mordad 1391/30 Geng-Shen (6th month) 4711

“The Department urges U.S. citizens…..currently living in Yemen to depart immediately……..Evacuation options from Yemen are extremely limited……Travelers should not expect to be evacuated to the United States.”-U.S. Department of State, 06 August 2013

The Obama administration is now telling every U.S. citizen living in Yemen that they need to leave, now!

The evil British empire’s United Kingdom has issued a similar order for its citizens in Yemen.

Just afterwards a report from Yemen saying that a military helicopter was shot down.  Eight people were killed.  It was a Yemeni military ‘copter that was providing air cover for engineers working to repair and oil pipeline that had been blown up in Ma’rib Province.

Also in Ma’rib, four people were killed when U.S. operated drones launched at least five missiles at a single vehicle.

British news media reporting that the streets of the capital of Yemen, Sana’a, is now full of government forces, with “hundreds” of armored vehicles deployed.  It’s believed that dozens of al Qaeda types are about to launch attacks in Sana’a.

The Yemen government has stated that the civilian evacuations by the U.S. and U.K. is exactly what al Qaeda wants.

World War 3, False Flag Op?: United States orders 2000 Marines on alert! USN to surround Yemen!

05 August 2013 (15:36 UTC-07 Tango)/28 Ramadan 1434/14 Mordad 1391/29 Geng-Shen (6th month) 4711

“I’ve spent 21 years in the CIA, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen 22 embassies closed simultaneously. This is very, very unusual.”-Robert Baer, former U.S. CIA officer in the Middle East

Reports that Barack Obama has put 2000 rapid reaction U.S. Marines, based in Italy, Spain and in the Red Sea area on high alert.

Israeli sources report that the U.S. Navy has been ordered to surround the coastline of Yemen.  Yemen is supposedly the source of the major al Qaeda threat that has caused dozens of western countries to close hundreds of embassies around the World.

I’ve posted that this is blow back from U.S. backed al Qaeda for the U.S. led War on Terror, and the fact that the U.S. Congress refused to let Yemenis held in Gitmo return home, even though the military courts ruled them not to be terrorists!

A political analysts says this is just more False Flag BS: “There is a hidden agenda of course behind it and that is to keep the so called War on Terror going and to do that they need to periodically check and see if people still believe this kind of nonsense.”-Kevin Barrett, Scientific Panel for the Investigation of 9/11

False Flag means your government is actually behind it, or allows it to happen, for ulterior motives.

False Flag Op? Interpol issues warning!

04 August 2013 (14:56 UTC-07 Tango)/27 Ramadan 1434/13 Mordad 1391/28 Geng-Shen (6th month) 4711

Following a series of prison escapes across nine INTERPOL member countries in the past month alone, including in Iraq, Libya and Pakistan, the INTERPOL General Secretariat headquarters has issued a global security alert advising increased vigilance.

With suspected Al Qaeda involvement in several of the breakouts which led to the escape of hundreds of terrorists and other criminals, the INTERPOL alert requests the Organization’s 190 member countries’ assistance in order to determine whether any of these recent events are coordinated or linked.

INTERPOL is asking its member countries to closely follow and swiftly process any information linked to these events and the escaped prisoners. They are also requested to alert the relevant member country and INTERPOL General Secretariat headquarters if any escaped terrorist is located or intelligence developed which could help prevent another terrorist attack.

Staff at INTERPOL’s 24-hour Command and Coordination Centre and other specialized units are also prioritizing all information and intelligence in relation to the breakouts or terrorist plots in order to immediately inform relevant member countries of any updates.

August is the anniversary of violent terrorist incidents in Mumbai, India and Gluboky, Russia as well as in Jakarta, Indonesia. This week also marks the 15th anniversary of the US Embassy bombings in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in which more than 200 mostly African citizens were killed and 4,000 others injured.

In recent years, terrorist attacks focusing on diplomatic facilities in Afghanistan, Greece, India, Kenya, Libya, Pakistan, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tanzania, Turkey and Yemen have also resulted in hundreds of casualties of all nationalities.

The US State Department has also issued a global travel alert in response to credible intelligence suggesting that Al-Qaeda and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks between now and 31 August, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa. In addition to the US authorities announcing the one-day closure of more than 20 diplomatic missions on Sunday 4 August, the UK Foreign Office has also confirmed the closure of the British embassy in Yemen on 4 and 5 August.

False Flag Op? Al Qaeda blow back against U.S. & Europe, massive co-ordinated prison breaks, Yemen makes threats over Gitmo!

04 August 2013 (14:49 UTC-07 Tango)/27 Ramadan 1434/13 Mordad 1391/28 Geng-Shen (6th month) 4711

 On Saturday the United States and several European countries announced the closure of embassies around the World (at least 21 U.S. embassies are closing).  Officials claim it’s due to increased “chatter” among the very terrorist organizations the U.S. and Europe support.

It’s fact that the United States government supports al Qaeda, because several al Qaeda reps have stated so, especially those operating in Syria.  The al Qaeda groups in Syria and Iraq even show off U.S. made weapons they say were supplied to them by the United States.  Al Qaeda has even posted video on the internet of their troops in Syria being paid with U.S. dollars!

Also, Interpol (International Criminal Police Organization) warned that a massive attack, possibly led by the U.S. backed al Qaeda, could take place.  This is because of massive coordinated prison breaks in Libya, Iraq and Pakistan.  Interpol believes the prison breaks were orchestrated by the U.S. backed al Qaeda.  This is because an order was issued to al Qaeda to “free all our prisoners”.

Some analysts believe al Qaeda will even attack the U.S. Navy’s Guantánamo Bay (Gitmo), Cuba.

This follows a deal with Yemen that fell through.  Back in May, Barack Obama promised the government of Yemen that he would free the majority of remaining Gitmo prisoners, who are Yemenis.  However, in June the Congress overrode that promise, stating “The Defense Department should not transfer detainees to Yemen because they represent some of the most dangerous terrorists known in the world.”

Here’s the rub: There are about 91 Yemenis in Gitmo.  The military courts have declared 56 of them as not being terrorists, yet, the U.S. congress refuses to return them to Yemen!

Blow back is coming for the United States, yet again!  I guess history repeats because the elite leaders refuse to learn their lessons, or because the elites are behind the crimes, and we the People suffer.
