Influenza H1N1: Prisons incubating H1N1? Tamiflu resistant version hits Japan! Swedish study says medications making flu stronger! Targeting pregnant women?

Alberta, Canada: Ten people dead, 300 people hospitalized, 1-thousand confirmed cases!

British Columbia, Canada: One person dead, 40 people hospitalized.  40% of infections are H1N1.

Saskatchewan, Canada: A 35 years old father of six died from H1N1.

Sapporo, Japan: National Institute of Infectious Diseases confirms that six people are sick with H1N1 that is resistant to Tamiflu and Rapiacta anti-viral treatments.  They are recommending the anti-virals Relenza and Inavir to treat H1N1.

Sweden: Studies underway at Umeå University and Uppsala University show that Tamiflu residues that end up in sewage actually make influenza stronger, and they blame Japan: “Our results show that Tamiflu’s active metabolite, secreted by human urine, is not removed in traditional wastewater treatment plants. We have been able to trace Tamiflu in river water in Japan during the flu season 2007/ 08 as well as in Europe during the influenza pandemic 2009. Japan is the country that uses most antiviral drugs in the world during seasonal flu.”-Hanna Söderström

California, U.S.A.: The Santa Clara County Health Department confirmed the Golden State’s first H1N1 death.  A 41 years old woman died back on 23 December 2013.  It took this long for medical tests to confirm she had H1N1.  But since then, two more Californians have died, a woman in Sacramento County and a woman in Orange County.

In the time I’ve worked in the last two weeks, every shift has had at least one or two positive cases. At least one or two each sift have been admitted to the ICU.”-Mo Daya, Oregon Health & Science University

Texas, U.S.A.: Denton County reports two more flu deaths.  Dallas County reports eight deaths as of 04 January 2014. In the past week 60 people have been hospitalized in Dallas County, 23 of them pregnant women. Reports that at least 25 people have died in the Lone Star State.  In Nacogdoches, a family has gone public, explaining that their 53 years old mentally handicapped brother got infected while in the local jail.  His sometimes irrational behavior got him in arrested before.  This time he got H1N1 in jail and died!

Wisconsin, U.S.A.: About 400 people hospitalized.  Health officials claim the H1N1 in their state is not as strong as it was in 2009.

The U.S. CDC reported as of 28 December 2013, 13 U.S. states have extremely “high” levels of flu like infections: Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah.

New York: In Warwick, Toy Chest shutdown.  The owner says she doesn’t want to play by manufactures’ rules anymore, saying manufacturers don’t give retailers a choice, and they push bulk purchases in which retailers don’t know what they’re getting.  So much for consumer demand driving industry!

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.

Exceptional Failed State: Obama’s current backyard replaces old commuter trains with new ones from Japan! Billions in U.S. taxes paying for Japanese take over?

“Demand for new rail cars is growing in other U.S. cities.  We’ll aim to satisfy the need for replacements in those places as well.”-Iwasaki Hiroji, Kawasaki Executive Officer

U.S. taxpayers have just updated the metro rail system in Washington DC, with train cars made in Japan!

Kawasaki Heavy Industries delivered several new cars to the Greenbelt station in Maryland, in a ceremony in which U.S. officials did not directly mention the Japanese connection.

The cars’ major components were made in Japan, then shipped to Kawasaki’s final assembly factory in Lincoln, Nebraska.  There was a time when U.S. industries could have handled the task, but not anymore no-thanks to unAmerican Corporate America outsourcing jobs overseas!

Kawasaki officials claim some of the Japanese cars were 100% built in their Nebraska factory.

The Washington Metro Area Transit Authority has ordered 528 Japanese rail cars, at a cost to U.S. taxpayers of $1.1-billion USD!

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 14-17 December 2013: More drone strikes! Security deal with India! More cops join Mujahideen! Increased child sex crimes under U.S. control!

Ghazni Province: In Andar District, Afghan National Army (ANA) reports battles with Mujahideen.  The ANA says at least eight of the Mujahideen they killed are from Pakistan.

Helmand Province: Camp Bastion, Bilderberg British empire Prime Minister, David Cameron, vowed that the British empire will stay in Afghanistan because only a basic level of security had been achieved. In Sangin District, government officials are investigating reports that Afghan National Police have willingly turned over at least three check points to Mujahideen!

Herat Province: In Obe District, an ANA soldier shot and killed two other ANA troops.  ANA officials say the shootout lasted several hours and the instigator was also killed.

Kandahar Province: A motorcycle bomb exploded in a market place on the boarder with Pakistan. Two people killed, six wounded.

Kapisa Province: In Nijrab District, Mujahideen claim to have repelled an Israeli style home invasion by U.S. led troops. They say they killed six of the invaders.  Two Mujahideen were killed.

Kunar Province: In Chapa Dara Ditrict, two people killed after the vehicle they were in drove over a landmine. In Shigal District, four people killed and one wounded when they drove over a landmine.  Mujahideen claim they’ve killed two members of the U.S. led Counter-terrorism Pursuit Team. They also say one Mujahid was killed in the firefight.

Nangarhar Province: In Lalpoor District, seven people were killed by U.S.-NATO-ISAF drone strike. Of course, government officials said no civilians were killed.  In Torkham City, a suicide bomber blew up inside the National Directorate of Security (Afghan version of Homeland Security) compound.  At least two people killed, three wounded.

Sar-e-Pul Province:  In Asia Abad village, three men were arrested for raping a 17 years old girl. Two other suspects are being sought. The victim is asking the courts to “hang” the men.  This comes as the Independent Human Rights Commission of Afghanistan reports a 28% increase in child rapes in the past year.  The commissioner blamed the increase on corrupt cops and judges.

Zabul Province: Six U.S. Army personnel were killed when their Utility Helicopter-60 Blackhawk crashed. ISAF officials said they are investigating the cause of the crash.  Mujahideen say the incident happened in Shahjoi District, Ibraheem Khelo area, and that they shot the helicopter down as it passed low over a hill.

The Afghan parliament rejected President Hamid Karzai’s request to create seats for religious minorities such as Hindus and Sikhs.

India and Afghanistan have agreed to a new security deal.  Afghan officials presented Indian officials with a wish list for military equipment, and India has agreed to open up positions for Afghans at Indian military academies.

Afghan Foreign Ministry spokesman, Janan Mosazai, said Iran is not supporting anti-government forces.  He said Iran is a good ally of Afghanistan.  Mosazai was responding to accusations against Iran by the governor of Farah Province.

In a separate issue, Mosazai said there is no evidence that Afghans are taking part in the U.S. funded civil war in Syria.

The United Nations International Labour Organization reports that since 2002, 5% of Afghans who escaped the U.S. occupation only to be forced to return, have escaped U.S. occupied Afghanistan again.  Afghans who escaped the hell of U.S. occupation say lack of good paying jobs is their number one reason for leaving.  They also blame the lack of good jobs on the U.S. occupation.

Air National Guard’s 105th Base Defense Squadron, from the U.S. state of New York, returned home from Afghanistan. One of the militia-airmen was killed in Afghanistan.

Air National Guard’s 119th Security Forces Squadron, in the U.S. state of North Dakota, was formerly recognized for their mission in Afghanistan.

200 militiamen of the Army National Guard’s 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, from the U.S. state of Georgia, deploying to Afghanistan.

160 militiamen of the Army National Guard’s 1742nd Transportation Company, from the U.S. state of South Dakota, reported for training to be deployed to Afghanistan.

More Fukushima Fallout: Killer nuke waste incinerator to be re-started! Nuke control room computers hacked! 500% increase in radiation in California? Duct tape preferred tool at Fukushima! Support the resistance!

06 January 2014 (15:58 UTC-07 Tango)/04 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/16 Dey 1392/06 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

“I am violating the law! But I won’t obey what the government says, because we were betrayed! Our community was destroyed by the nuclear disaster. Instead of slaughtering them, these cattle should be used to study the long-term effects of radiation. Killing them is destroying evidence. I am a cowboy, and cowboys do not abandon their cows! I will stay with them until I die!”-Yoshizawa Masami, Fukushima Nuclear Resistance (for more read below)

A former nuclear waste incinerator is being allowed to go back into operation, even though it was shutdown for killing two employees and contaminating 600 others!

In 1999 JCO, a subsidiary of Sumitomo Metal Mining, was shutdown after a disaster at its nuke incinerator in Tokai Village, Ibaraki Prefecture.  However, due to the overwhelming volume of accumulated nuclear waste, from the ongoing nuke disaster at Fukushima Daiichi, JCO is being allowed to re-start their low-level nuclear waste incinerator.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency discovered that one of its computers at the Monju fast-breeder reactor, on the coast off the Sea of Japan, was illegally accessed!

The JAEA says the computer was hacked at least 30 times.  Officials claim they traced the hack to U.S. puppet South Korea! The computer was used to store office emails and employee training records.  They discovered the hacks while updating the software.

Remember that California video I wrote about, at the end of December? Other people have been conducting their own radiation sampling, some saying their  record keeping shows a 500% increase in radiation levels on the California coast!

The video actually caught the attention of county officials, who promptly poo-pooed the claims: “It’s not something that we feel is an immediate public health concern…”-Dean Peterson, San Mateo County

The so called county ‘expert’ went on to say that what is really happening is an increase in ‘background’ radiation!   Hello, dummy, that still means radiation is increasing!

So what has Tokyo Electric Power Company slave wage throwaway workers been using to repair the leaking contaminated water storage tanks?  According to worker interviews published by Asahi Shimbun, duct tape and chicken wire!

TEPCo has announced it will begin its plan to freeze the ground around the GE designed disaster reactors. In late December TEPCo revealed that radiation leaks containing strontium 90 were increasing from Reactor Unit 1.  Radiation leaks from Reactor Unit 2 have been increasing since November 2013.  Whatever happened to TEPCo’s plan to build an iron wall around Fukushima Daiichi, announced back in September 2011?

The leader of the Fukushima Nuclear Resistance, Yoshizawa Masami, is fighting government orders to have his cattle slaughtered.  His adult cows are showing strange signs, like white spots/speckles developing on their brown skin.

Yoshizawa’s farm is only 14km (8.6 miles) from Fukushima Daiichi.  He insists the cows should live, to be studied by scientists and be an example of the evils of nuclear power.

Reports say scientists are beginning to descended upon Yoshizawa’s farm to study what is happening to his cows.  The cows are confirmed to be contaminated with cesium. The government also wants Yoshizawa to vacate his land. Is there something the government wants to hide?  See ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) report.

Iran asks Trilateral Commission member (and failed nuke facility operator) Japan to build nuclear power plants in Iran!

06 January 2014 (15:06 UTC-07 Tango)/04 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/16 Dey 1392/06 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

“Japan has very advanced technology on nuclear power plants…..I see good prospects in the future that Iran and Japan can cooperate….”-Seyed Abbas Araqchi, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal Affairs

NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation) has interviewed Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araqchi, who said Iran very much would like Japan to build electricity generating nuke power plants in his country.

Iran is making such an offer their key issue with the Trilateral Commission (Pacific Asian Group) member known as Japan (Nippon).

Official Orwellian Double-Speak pro-war propaganda program has begun 

Japanese leaders overheard talking about invading Korea!

Trilateral Commission member, Japan, to create new Homeland Security office!

Japan enters U.S. data collection/spying market!

Imperialist Japan to increase military spending by tens of billions 

TriLateral Imperialism as the U.S. mulls allowing Japan to invade Korea!!!

The Trilateral Commission was founded by David Rockefeller in 1973.  The official goal is to foster economic and political co-operation between Japan, North American countries and European countries (notice these are the regions that are currently in big economic trouble).

In 2000, the Japan membership was expanded to include many other Asian countries, and is now called the Pacific Asian Group.

In April 2013, Japan became a member of NATO (which has become the Trilateral Commission’s military unit): “…..You might ask why the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization should come to the Pacific region.  The answer is very simple.  Today’s NATO is a new NATO.  It’s a NATO with a global perspective.  It’s a NATO with global partners.  And Japan is our longest-standing global partner…..NATO and Japan are like-minded……we can help the United Nations and the international community to reinforce the rules-based international system……we need common approaches and responses…….To confront global threats such as terrorism, cyber attacks, and proliferation…..And I am delighted that later today, Prime Minister Abe and I will sign a Joint Political Declaration to guide our future work.”-Anders Fogh Rasmussen, NATO Secretary General, from statement made on the morning of 15 April 2013, Japan National Press Club

Vaccines: Three companies stop making Hep B shots! More babies die! UN insists Hep B shots are safe!

05 January 2014 (02:43 UTC-07 Tango)/03 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/15 Dey 1392/05 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

Two more Chinese companies, Tiantan Biological Products and Dalian Hissen Bio-Pharm, have been banned from production of hepatitis B vaccine. This despite the United Nations’ World Health Organization claiming there is nothing wrong with the hep B vaccines they inspected.  The China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) also claims they can not find anything wrong with hep B vaccines.

Officially, the shut down of the top three Chinese makers of hep b vaccine is being blamed on new Good Manufacturing Practice rules.

On 03 January 2014, Chinese media reported that deaths connected to the hep B vaccine hit 17.  Chinese government officials said they ruled out nine deaths as being directly caused by the mandatory vaccines.  However, they were not able to explain the deaths, and said they were still awaiting autopsy reports!

On 31 December 2013, health officials in Shandong Province reported two more infants died after getting the mandatory shots.

By 24 December 2013, seven Chinese infants died after getting mandatory hep B vaccines.

On 20 December 2013, CFDA banned the use of vaccines from drug maker BioKangtai, apparently due to the new GMP rules.

There are still four companies in China making hep B vaccines, including British Bilderberg empire company GlaxoSmithKline.  Chinese officials say only two of those companies have passed new certification rules.

U.S. court says vaccine could kill: Hepatitis vaccines causing people to die!

World War 3, West Asian Front-Lebanon: Obama regime assassinates their own terrorist to cover up attack against iran?

05 January 2014 (02:15 UTC-07 Tango)/03 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/15 Dey 1392/05 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

19 November 2013: The Iranian Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, is bombed.  25 people killed, including a diplomat.  U.S. funded al Qaeda group, Abdullah Azzam Brigades, claims credit for the bombing.

26 December 2013: Lebanese Armed Forces capture Majid (Majed) bin Muhammad al-Majid, a Saudi Arabian working with Abdullah Azzam Brigades.  Lebanese officials suspect Majid was brought in by Saudi Arabia, in 2012, to lead Abdullah Azzam Brigades in attacks against Shia Lebanese, and Iranian targets.  For some reason the public report of his capture was delayed until 01 January 2014.

Hassan Nasrallah, the head of the Lebanese Hezbollah, said Majid is “…a Saudi emir….directly linked to Saudi intelligence…”

03 January 2014: It was reported that Lebanese officials confirmed the ID of Majid through DNA testing.  It was also reported that he suddenly became too sick to be interrogated.  It turns out that Majid was already in hospital on 24 December.  Whatever his condition was it worsened, and the Red Cross/Crescent was contacted for transport to a better hospital.  The Lebanese Armed Forces intercepted that call and that was how they captured him on 26 December.  He ended up in the Baabda military hospital.

04 January 2014: Majid dies.  The Lebanese Armed Forces claim he died from kidney failure (which was why he was in the hospital to begin with), and was so sick they could not interrogate him (how convenient).  Saudi Arabia is demanding the immediate return of Majid’s body. Many eastern news media outlets point out that the death of Majid prevents important info from ever being known.

Iranian officials are demanding an autopsy to determine the true cause of death: “Under the current circumstances, it is necessary for the Lebanese government to conduct tests and perform an autopsy on al-Majed to establish the cause of his death……..al-Majed was a clue to many elements behind the terrorist act outside the Iranian Embassy in Beirut, his interrogation would have definitely yielded useful information…..”-Alaeddin Boroujerdi, Foreign Policy and National Security Committee of Majlis
