The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting that almost all types of food poisoning, both viral and bacterial, are increasing!  The biggest jump in stomach illness is from raw or undercooked shellfish.

In New Mexico U.S.A., a norovirus outbreak hit 17 teachers at the Georgia O’Keeffe Elementary School in Albuquerque.  Department of Health officials say they are expecting the outbreak to hit children next.

In Alaska U.S.A., norovirus continues to spread.  The Girdwood K-8 School hit by 47% absenteeism.  Health officials say they’ve traced the outbreak to two high schools.

In Pennsylvania U.S.A., more than 120 students and teachers became sick at the Saint Katharine of Siena School in Wayne.

In California U.S.A., doctors reporting norovirus spikes in Palm Springs, and numerous cases involving infants in Rancho Mirage.  So far the counties of Imperial and Riverside have the highest number of reported stomach illnesses in the Golden State.

In South Carolina U.S.A., Christian politician Rick Santorum hospitalized after god hit him with a stomach bug!

In New Hampshire U.S.A., the Pembroke Academy drama club had to cancel the opening of their play.  They got sick after eating a take out order from Olive Garden.

The Jersey General Hospital, on the Jersey Channel Islands in United Kingdom, has closed several wards due to outbreaks being reported across the islands: “It is evident there is increasing numbers of suspected norovirus cases within the island community. It is important every islander plays their part in trying to slow down the spread of this highly infectious virus, particularly in public places and catering establishments.”-Gary Kynman, Deputy Director of Operations

In Cumbria, England U.K., the Furness General Hospital closed its Barrow ward because of an outbreak.

Students at Wellfield Junior School in Sale, Manchester U.K., became sick after a school trip to a sheep farm in Cumbria.

In West Yorkshire U.K., the Dewsbury and District Hospital closed because of an outbreak.

Health officials are saying get out of the water: “Many people are not aware that swimming too soon after being sick with diarrhea is a risk for passing infection on to other pool users. People can still pass cryptosporidium on to others for many days after no longer feeling ill.”-Margot McLean, Medical Officer of Health

World War 3: Boston Bombings blowback for U.S. war in Syria! Explains unprecedented manhunt! Assad warned of ‘rebels turning on the West’!

20 April 2013 (12:14 UTC-07 Tango)/09 Jumada t-Tania 1434/31 Farvardin 1391/11 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

“The West has paid heavily for funding al Qaeda in its early stages. Today it is doing the same in Syria, Libya and other places, and will pay a heavy price in the heart of Europe and the United States.”-Bashar Hafez al-Assad, President of Syria

“Any attempt to make a link between Chechnya and the Tsarnaevs, if they are guilty, is pointless. They grew up in the U.S., their views and beliefs were formed there. The roots of evil must be searched for in America.”-Ramzan Kadyrov, President of Chechnya

The U.S. main streamer media might like to tout the Russia/Chechnya connection concerning the two suspects killed and wounded on Friday, but, what they don’t tell you is that the U.S. has been actively recruiting Chechens to go and fight in Syria!

At the beginning of 2012 it was revealed by Saudi Arabia that the U.S./European/Israeli/Saudi led insurgency in Syria included large numbers of Chechens from Russia: “Up to 6 thousand foreign volunteers are fighting on the side of the Syrian opposition, and among them are Chechens according to Saudi intelligence…….According to an AFP source in Riyadh, in these brigades, under the flag of Al-Qaeda, are citizens of Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, and also Chechyna.”-Gazeta 

The U.S. backed insurgent group Jaish al-Muhajireen wa Ansar (aka Muhajireen Brigade), fighting in Syria, was formed by a Chechen known as Abu Omar al Chechen.

Also, the al Qaeda linked and U.S. backed Jabhat an-Nuṣrah li-Ahl ash-Shām (aka Al Nusrah Front) is made up of Chechens.  According to the Pakistan Christian Post, most of the dirty work in the major operations conducted by insurgents are being done by Chechens.  The article accuses Turkey, Georgia and the U.S. CIA of being behind the recruitment, training and deployment of Chechens in Syria!

Russian officials say they’ve known for awhile now that the U.S. is actively recruiting Chechens to fight an illegal war in Syria.

The mother of the two suspects (by the way they are U.S. citizens, born in Kyrgyzstan) says that ever since they moved to the United States, in 2002, the FBI had been hounding them: “They [FBI] used to come, they used to talk to me…they were controlling him, they were controlling his every step…and now they say that this is a terrorist act! Never ever is this true, my sons are innocent!”-Zubeidat Tsarnaeva

Of note, the father and mother of the two suspects ended up moving back to Russia, because of repeated harassment and even arrests on charges of damage to property.

This is starting to look like a classic case of federal officials trying to recruit American ‘Muslims’ to go fight a U.S. backed Jihad against the legitimate government of Syria, only instead of going to Syria these guys decided to turn their U.S. combat training against the United States.  Classic blowback!

This could explain the unprecedented manhunt, because the federales knew who they were dealing with because the evil federales are the ones who trained them!

Here’s a probable reason why this U.S. operation failed.  The family might be originally from Chechnya, but they claim they are not devout Muslims. It was only recently, after being approached by federales, that one of the  suspects suddenly became serious about it: “He was not devout. But just recently, maybe two years ago, he started praying about five times a day….”-Maret Tsarnaeva, suspects’ aunt

Their uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, told U.S. media that he stopped talking to them in 2009, because of their sudden infatuation with Islam.  Tsarni said that he was told they were being influenced by a ‘convert’ to Islam.  Classic FBI/CIA recruitment Modus Operandi!

A former Russian special forces veteran thinks the whole thing (Boston Bombings) was intentional, to distract from, and even justify crimes committed by the U.S. federales in other countries: “Putting a young Chechen in those shoes was top notch professionalism in distracting everyone from the true identity and motives of the planner. The executors were chosen to confuse the American public and simultaneously untie the White House’s hands in a way that would justify a departure from the rhetoric of non-involvement in military action on foreign territories.”-Aleksey Filatov, Russian ‘Alpha’ Special Forces team-veteran

Magnitude 5+ earthquakes increasing? Several 7+ quakes so far for April 2013!

20 April 2013 (02:02 UTC-07 Tango)/09 Jumada t-Tania 1434/31 Farvardin 1391/11 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

There has been several magnitude 7 earthquakes around the world in just the past three weeks.

The USGS uses a modified type of richter scale magnitude system.  They tried to clear up confusion a few years ago with a press release, but I think it just made things more confusing.

Most western media are using USGS magnitude readings when they report earthquakes, but, several countries have created their own magnitudes that do not match USGS magnitude reports.  I am presenting USGS magnitudes.

The following are the 6 to 7+ magnitude quakes for April, so far:

On 20 April 2013 Sichuan, China, was hit by a 6.6 quake, followed by four 5 quakes.  Reports say at least 152 killed, more than 3000 injured!  The Chinese are calling the initial quake a 7+ magnitude.

Russian Kuril Islands (on the Pacific Ring of Fire) were hit with a 6.1 magnitude quake, followed by a 5.3 quake.

On 19 April 2013, again the Russian Kuril Islands, hit with a 7.2, then a 5.7.  The Kuril Islands have been experiencing many magnitude 5 and 6+ quakes since the beginning of this Gregorian year.

For more example of how different quake reports are used by different countries, on 18 April 2013, Japanese officials reported a 7 magnitude quake off the coast of northern Japan. However, the USGS did not report such a quake.  It is possible that the Kuril Islands 7.2 quake reported on early 19 April by USGS is the same quake that Japan claimed on the 18th.  Japan and Russia both have claims to some of the Kuril Islands.

On 16 April 2013, a 7.8 quake hit along the Iran-Pakistan border.  At least 40 people killed, mainly on the Pakistani side.

Papua New Guinea (on the Pacific Ring of Fire) 6.6 quake.

On 14 April 2013, again Papua New Guinea hit with 6.6 quake.  The island country has also been experiencing many magnitude 5+ quakes.

06 April 2013, Indonesia (Pacific Ring of Fire) a 7 quake.

From 01 April to 20 April 2013 there have been at least seven magnitude 6+ quakes.  For all of April 2012 there were ten magnitude 6+ quakes (which included two 8+ quakes near Sumatra on the Pacific Ring of Fire).  We have a little under a week and a half left for April 2013, will mother Earth break last years April numbers?

By the way, officials in San Francisco, California, just passed new earthquake safety rules.  The new law forces owners of wooden framed multi-story buildings to reinforce the lower walls and to help distribute the weight of the building more evenly on the frame.  It’s estimated it will cost property owners $60000 to $130000 USD per building.  The law comes after years of study by seismologists.

H7N9 update: U.S. hospitals on alert!

20 April 2013 (19:53 UTC-07 Tango 19 April 2013)/09 Jumada t-Tania 1434/31 Farvardin 1391/11 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned U.S. hospitals to be on alert for people coming from China, who could spread H7N9.  Two U.S. governors, Jerry Brown and Scott Walker, were recently in China drumming up business for their states.

The number of human cases in China is now at 91.   One new case in Jiangsu Province, and three in Zhejiang Province.

Two adults are now considered recovered, a 51 years old woman and a 55 years old man.

World War 3, Africa Front: UN official has proof the U.S. behind mass rape in DRC!

“We do know in the UN which are the two battalions. Interestingly, one of them was trained by the Americans, that’s what the American ambassador himself told me!”-Zainab Hawa Bangura, UN special representative on sexual violence

United Nations officials investigated mass rape cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo (not to be confused with Republic of Congo).  126 women were raped, and UN investigators confirmed it was carried out by two DRC government battalions, one of which was trained by U.S. forces in 2010.

Recently rebels succeeded in taking control of DRC.  Even though it’s been proven that crimes against humanity were indeed being carried out by government troops, the UN created the first ever military force (Intervention Brigade) to invade DRC and remove the rebels from control.

World War 3, Africa Front: False Flag mass shooting in gun controlled Kenya!

19 April 2013 (18:06 UTC-07 Tango 18 April 2013)/08 Jumada t-Tania 1434/30 Farvardin 1391/10 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

“It’s still very early to tell who the attackers are and the motive behind it. It’s very unfortunate that we continue losing innocent lives. We will pursue these very heartless people and arrest them.”–Maalim Mohamed, Garissa County Commissioner

In the African country of Kenya, strict gun control laws failed to prevent a mass shooting.  At least six people killed, ten wounded.

Officials say armed men walked into hotel Kwa Chege and began shooting.  Officials have no proof of who did it, but they are blaming Muslims.

Kenya bans the ownership of assault weapons, full or semi-auto. Ammo that can be used in assault type weapons are also banned.  Kenya also requires anybody who wants to own a pistola to get licensed, which requires criminal and mental background checks, plus third party references.  You must renew the license every year.  Possessing an illegal gun will get you 15 years in prison.  Possessing a legal gun without a license will get you ten years in prison.

Yet with all those gun control laws, on 18 April 2013, six people killed, ten wounded in a mass shooting.  Where’s the U.S. main streamer media on this one?

We once again condemn this American savagery with the strongest of words.

World War 3, East Asian Front: North Korea issues demands!

18 April 2013 (01:49 UTC-07 Tango)/07 Jumada t-Tania 1434/29 Farvardin 1391/09 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

Policy Department of the National Defence Commission (NDC) of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea:

First, they should immediately stop all their provocative acts against the DPRK and apologize for all of them.
    As the first phase, they should take measures of retracting the UN Security Council’s “resolutions on sanctions” cooked up under absurd pretexts.
    They should bear in mind that doing so would be a token of good will towards the DPRK.
    The south Korean puppet forces should promptly halt all anti-DPRK rackets being kicked up by them, linking their own mishaps such as the Cheonan warship sinking incident and the “March 20 hacking case” to the north.
    Second, they should give formal assurances before the world that they would not stage again such nuclear war drills to threaten or blackmail the DPRK.
    Dialogue can never go with war actions.
    Frequent nuclear war maneuvers will only strain the situation and totally block the way of dialogue.
    The army and people of the DPRK will not be taken in by sophism that the nuclear war drills being staged under its very nose are annual and defensive military actions for defending the U.S. and guaranteeing the security of south Korea.
    Third, they should make a decision to withdraw all nuclear war means from south Korea and its vicinity and give up their attempt to reintroduce them as their immediate duty.
    They should bear in mind that the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula can begin with the pullout of the nuclear war means introduced by the U.S. and this may lead to the global denuclearization.
