“Under appropriate conditions human to human transmission of the H7N9 virus may be possible.”-Infectivity, Transmission, and Pathology of Human H7N9 Influenza in Ferrets and Pigs
“We also found that the virus can infect pigs, which was not previously known……People may be transmitting the virus before they even know that they’ve got it.”-Maria Zhu Huachen, Hong Kong University
As I’ve been warning since I first started reporting on the H7N9 outbreak in March, it is human to human! If you go over all my H7N9 updates, you’ll notice that very few birds are infected. More than 90% of infected poultry were found at live markets, where they come into contact with lots-o-humans. I’ve postulated that the chickens are getting infected from contact with humans.
To back that up, not one chicken or duck on a farm has been found to be infected. Not one poultry sent to the industrial butcher shops has been found to be infected, just the ones in live markets.
And to add to that, China’s Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) just released their latest H7n9 testing data (on 23 May 2013), and yet again not one bird on a poultry farm was positive! They’ve tested a total of 899758 samples, here’s the results: Only 53 positive results out of the hundreds of thousands of samples! 51 were in live markets. The other two were wild pigeons. The MOA says they are done testing birds for H7N9.
The resulting paranoia about getting H7N9 from chickens and ducks has resulted in China’s poultry industry losing $6.5 billion USD. Poultry markets around Asia are expected to see huge loses as more and more countries join in banning innocent but delicious chickens and ducks.
The biggest biological threat to poultry markets is still H5N1, not H7N9.
How many humans have gotten sick? So far 132 infected with 36 deaths. By the way, research is showing this new H7N9 is an airborne disease which means washing your hands won’t do you much good.

In Kandahar Province, Canada has sent 15 soldiers to investigate more than 375 shipping containers that never made it back to Canada! The containers full of military spare parts were left in Kandahar (after Canadian forces pulled out of that area), because they were not considered “seaworthy”. Some critics say the containers were left because the Canadian government could not afford to pay the cost of shipping them back to Canada.

In Kandahar Province, two explosions killed at least nine people, and wounded 70 others. The first explosion was caused by a suicide car bomber, the second was a remote detonated bomb inside a car. Other reports say it was two motorcycle bombs and one car bomb. One report says the target was the family of President Hamid Karzai.
Russian state arms exporter Rosoboronexport plans to deliver 12 Mil Mi-17 helicopters to Afghanistan by the end of 2013. The $367.5 million USD deal was actually paid for by the U.S. Department of Defense, with an option to buy another $600 million worth of Russian helicopters!
Russia is considering returning troops to patrol the Tajik-Afghan border. Russia ceased border patrols there in 2009, but officials say illegal drug trafficking and violence has increased since then. They blame the United States for not securing Afghanistan.

Since 2011 there have been growing reports that farmers are returning to massive use of pesticides, because of new superbug insects. Those super insects have been created by the very GMO (genetically modified organism) crops meant to kill insects (in 2003 the U.S. EPA approved GMO on that very basis).
The latest report shows that Monsanto’s Bt Corn has actually created insects (like rootworms) that are now immune to GMO crops. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) recently reported that pesticide makers are seeing skyrocketing sales, as a result.
The WSJ also reported that years ago some corporations knew this would happen, and began taking over pesticide companies for the expected boom in bug spray sales. Other reports say the amount of pesticide use is higher than what the WSJ reported.
Of course Monsanto says they will create new GMO seeds.
In 2010, India halted the use of GMO crops. In 2012, India ordered testing of any GMO crop in a controlled environment before being approved. Here’s why: “I was shocked to find the three years of so-called research trials conducted by Mahyco Monsanto Biotech or MMB, a joint venture between Indian seed company Mahyco and Monsanto, as erroneous……I went on record to state that GM technology, promoted by MMB, was fraudulent.”-Devinder Sharma, agricultural scientist
One possible reason that India began to question the claims of Monsanto and other GM makers, is that during the years Indian farmers used GMO seeds, there was no increase in overall crop production! (increased crop production was one of the claims made by GMO companies: “generate higher crop yields with fewer inputs”–Biotechnology Industry Organization)
In Lebanon, the Consumer Protection Department of the Economy and Trade Ministry (CPDET) warned consumers that recent testing of fruits and vegetables are showing high rates of pesticides, including chemicals banned in Lebanon.
Officials are calling the free use of chemicals by local farmers chaotic: “In the last few months findings indicate that farmers have reverted to chaos….”-CPDET statement
CPDET officials say “The main reason was attributed to insects developing immunity…….unleashing a vicious and fearful cycle.”
For years there has been fear in Lebanon that GMO crops grown in nearby Europe, or in neighboring Israel, would eventually adversely affect Lebanese agriculture.
According to Israeli news media there are no laws regulating GMOs in Israel: “Agricultural products that underwent genetic engineering are sold in Israel without any marking to inform consumers……main function is to test foodstuffs slated for export to Europe.”-Haaretz
It’s possible that Lebanon’s agriculture industry has been invaded (through pollination) by GMOs from Israel’s unregulated industry.
The problem of cross pollination is one of the concerns for the European country Hungary. Hungary bans all GMOs. A week ago 404.6 hectares (1000 acres) of maize was burned, after it was discovered that GMO seeds somehow got in with regular corn seeds (many Hungarian farmers bought their seeds from international companies). The burning of the crop was done to prevent cross pollination. Investigations are revealing that somehow thousands of acres of other crops in Hungary could also be contaminated with GMOs.
But contrary to what some bloggers say, about the Europe Union not allowing GMO crops, the European Union does allow Bt corn/maize, and several EU members have expressed intentions to grow other GMO crops (Spain is the largest producer of GMO crops).
So it is very possible that the agriculture industry in Lebanon is dealing with superbugs created by GMOs in Europe and Israel, which of course means more pesticide use.
Then there’s the rapidly declining bird population in United Kingdom. Investigators blame increased pesticide use, and “changes in crop production” in Sussex. It’s reported that 60% of overall bird species have disappeared in the past ten years. Sussex is not listed as one of the English Counties that have banned GMOs.
Recently released studies in the United States back up the claims that GMOs do not decrease pesticide use and they do not increase crop yield!
In 2012 the Washington State University proved that the net effect of GMO crops is an increase in pesticide use, and other chemicals, not a decrease!
Now the University of Wisconsin says the gene splicing that goes into GMOs actually reduces crop yields! Researchers call it “yield drag”, meaning genetic engineering of crops reduces overall production. Their study (Commercialized transgenic traits, maize productivity and yield risk) shows that GMO crops tend to reduce environmental “yield risks” to the crops, but the overall yield output is also reduced.
What was that about GMOs saving humanity from starvation?

“Ooplasmic transfer from fertile donor oocytes into potentially compromised recipient patient oocytes has led to the birth of nearly 30 babies worldwide.”-Mitochondria in human offspring derived from ooplasmic transplantation: Brief communication, journal of Human Reproduction
The journal Human Reproduction reporting that the first 30 humans created by Genetic Modification have been born around the World! Genetic testing showed the infants have more than two parents!
At least 15 of those babies, over the past three years, were born at the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of Saint Barnabas in New Jersey U.S.A.
Researchers say it was part of experiments to help women who could not conceive. It involved using genes from another woman. Testing shows the infants inherited genes from both women, meaning that technically they have two mothers and one father!
The professor in charge of the program boasted, last year, that he could use the same technique to clone humans: “It would be an afternoon’s work for one of my students.”-Jacques Cohen

“At this time, there is no epidemiological link between these patients.”-Alabama Department of Health statement
The mystery illness in Alabama is more mysterious after health officials stated that the age of the people infected range from 20s to 80s, and has now infected a total of ten people: “Since we sent out the alert to providers last night, we have had three additional patients/cases. These patients all have the same symptoms of cough, shortness of breath and ‘something’ on their chest….”-Mary McIntyre, Alabama Department of Public Health
Also, the patients have other health problems, which complicate the diagnostics.
Health officials think this is just a bunch of cases of common colds or flus (first off the term ‘cold’ refers to many different viruses, and second flus have proven not to be ‘common’), and they don’t think this is caused by a “…new or unexpected virus…”
In a study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, historical researchers have found a link between influenza infections in pregnant woman and a nearly four-fold increase in cases of bi-polar disorders in their children.
The study isn’t new, but the release of the data is. Researchers reviewed a ten year study done by Kaiser Permanente insurance, conducted from 1956-66. It involves just over 19000 people in California.
Reports are suggesting this study is proof that people should get vaccinated. A very small percentage of the study group got vaccinated.
However, another study concluded that a fetus can not identify viruses. Remember that vaccines are viruses, grown in a controlled environment. If a fetus can not recognize viral RNA, wouldn’t that apply to RNA viruses in vaccines?
Flus are RNA viruses (as are norovirus, MERS, SARS, SFTS), and it has already been established that vaccines don’t work well on RNA viruses! (as opposed to DNA viruses)
Previous studies have already linked schizophrenia to influenza viruses. Is there a correlation between increased human brain function problems and the increased use of flu vaccines?

The first person to become infected in Tunis, became the first to die. The man came back from a trip to Saudi Arabia, sick. His two sons are now sick and under medical observation.
In Saudi Arabia two people have died. One man died on Monday, then (according to some reports) another man died on Wednesday. Health officials also reported a new case of infection in a woman.
The new cases bring the total number of infections, since September 2012, to 43. Deaths at 23.

The United States and United Kingdom have been demanding that Bashar Hafez al-Assad step down as President of Syria, but Israel say if he goes then they go in!
Reuters reporting that the boss of the IDF air force says if the Assad government falls then Israel will launch full scale attacks on Syria: “If Syria collapses tomorrow we could find ourselves very quickly inside this cauldron, and on a very large scale, because this enormous arsenal is parked there, just waiting to be looted, and could be turned against Israel.”-Major-General Amir Eshel, Israeli Defense Force
The biggest fear of Israeli leaders is the collapse of the Syrian government, because they now realize that their decades long policy of “dissolution“ of Arab regions is actually threatening their own security. (or is it all a False Flag op to justify invasion and occupation of Syria?)

Reports out of the U.S. state of Alabama, two people dead and five hospitalized with flu like symptoms. State Department of Public Health officials calling it a “cluster”.
The flu like symptoms are described as fever, coughing and difficulty breathing. These symptoms are also common with H7N9, MERS (coronavirus) or SFTS infections.
The Alabama mystery illness began 19 April 2013, however, state health officials say they were not notified until 16 May. The U.S. CDC has been notified.
In Texas, the most recent reports say health officials are still stumped as to what killed two teenagers in March and April.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that 58% of all public pools tested in the United States, were swimming with E.Coli (bacteria) contaminated human shit (fecal contamination)! The CDC concluded that many ‘mericans aren’t very clean.
In Ohio U.S.A., 11 schools were closed in Brunswick. The epidemic started at a 07 May teacher appreciation lunch. It’s been spreading since then. All schools were closed because so many students are sick that even those students not sick have siblings that are sick. Several dozens of teachers and students are sick. Local media incorrectly called norovirus the stomach flu and/or food poisoning.
In Missouri U.S.A., the Cole County Health Department now saying last weeks’ outbreaks in local elementary and junior highs, were caused by norovirus.
In Arlington, Virginia U.S.A., Nottingham Elementary School hit by an outbreak. School officials only made things more confusing when they started moving students from classroom to classroom. School officials refuse to say how many students got sick, but one parent said at least 80. Students were fearful: “Everyone was getting sick. It got me and all my friends worried, and we cleared out as fast as we could.”-Raquel Robinson, 4th grader
In Wisconsin U.S.A., more than 50 students from Minnesota got sick at a YMCA camp. Reports say the Minnesota Department of Health said one child from the North Star State was sick with norovirus when they left home for the YMCA camp. Once there the virus quickly spread to the other students. Also, in Franklin, the Pleasant View Elementary School was closed and scrubbed after more than 50 students became sick with stomach bug symptoms. Health officials are testing to determine the cause.
In Iowa U.S.A., the Siouxland District Health Department investigating what caused about three teachers and 80 students to get sick at the Bryant Elementary School.
In New York U.S.A., a woman thought she was suffering from stomach bug, because of the symptoms. She finally went to the doctor and found out she had fast spreading stage 4 breast cancer. She died after her first chemotherapy treatment. Friends of the family said that the exact moment she died a double rainbow appeared in the sky.
In East Riding of Yorkshire, England U.K., ward 21 at Castle Hill Hospital closed due to an outbreak: “…new patients being brought onto the ward had to go past the infected people.”-hospital source
In Worcestershire, England U.K., the Alexandra Hospital was closed along with wards at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
In East Midlands, England U.K., an investigation into the death of a 38 years old woman last year, concluded she died from norovirus. Pathologists also told the Chesterfield Coroner’s Court that at least 80 people died in the United Kingdom last year, because of norovirus.
A study by a Canadian insurance company found that 93% of workers in United Kingdom go to work sick. The main reasons are fear of loss of income and/or employment.
In Highland, Scotland U.K., The County Community Hospital in Invergordon, Lawson Memorial Hospital in Golspie, and the inpatient ward in Nairn Town have all been closed due to outbreaks.
In Queensland, Australia, a man is suffering from a massive watermelon sized hernia, after he got sick with a stomach bug. He got infected after continuing to drink from his beer after he dropped in into the river he was fishing on. Of course he picked up unknown microbes as a result. The anti-biotic treatments and operations didn’t help. He’s been told he’ll need six more operations, yet on his most recent trip to the Royal Brisbane Hospital he was turned away due to lack of beds!
Researchers at Texas A&M University are experimenting with an electron beam to kill norovirus and hepatitis A in oysters. Most people like eating their oysters raw.
Other researchers claim they’ve come up with a way to kill microbes (bacteria, viruses, yeasts, molds) using gold, silver and lasers. Apparently they use micro particles of gold or silver ‘shells’ designed to trap specifically shaped microbes, and then use a laser, which somehow kills only those microbes trapped in the gold/silver shells.
