Influenza

Influenza: More proof vaccines are a waste; 60 years old man never had flu shot until 2009 yet never got sick with flu, and the 2009 vaccine had no effect on him!

“The blood donor in this study was born in 1947 and was infected with influenza several times in his childhood (possibly by H1N1 and H2N2) and in 1968 (probably by H3N2). For 41 years afterwards, he did not contract influenza, and he was never vaccinated against influenza………most of them [blood donor’s anti-bodies] neutralize not only H1N1 viruses but also H5N1 virus…..the products of long-lived memory B cells that were established before vaccination…we concluded that the sialic acid-binding pocket and its surrounding region on HA are immunogenically very potent and that virtually all of the B cells whose growth is newly induced and expanded by vaccination produce Abs that recognize these regions. We also concluded that when formalin-treated virus particles that are not alive are used as vaccine……..that the non-neutralizing epitope on HA, even if it exists, is immunologically impotent.”–Binding near the Sialic Acid-Binding Pocket and Neutralizing Both H1N1 and H5N1 Viruses

Doctors are mystified by a 60 years old man who swears he has not been sick with flu since he was 21 years old!  Back in 2009, for the first time in his life he decided to get a flu shot, because of all the increased flu cases and the paranoid propaganda by government health officials telling people to get the flu shot.

Doctors at the Fujita Health University, in Japan, decided to take samples of his blood.  They were shocked to find he had full antibody protection from most flus, even the latest H5N1 (bird flu) variant.  Why is this significant?  H5N1 has yet to hit Japan, so how can a Japanese man, who’s never been sick with flu in his adult life, and never gotten a flu shot, develop antibodies to the latest flu variants?

Also, they discovered that the man had no immune system boost when he finally got the flu shot in 2009. They concluded that the so called ‘dead’ influenza viruses in the vaccine failed to trigger (an epitope reaction, with your antibody’s partope) an immune system response (they deemed it “immunologically impotent“), meaning the man wasted his time getting vaccinated!

By the way, the same anti-body that fights off H5N1 can also fight off H1N1.

In a ‘oh snap I could’a had a V8’ moment Japanese doctors are now going to test other people to see if they already, naturally, have the ability to fight off influenza without a vaccine!

Influenza: Tamiflu resistant H1N1 forces drug addicted Japan to try new drugs! Mexico hit hard despite massive vaccination program! Deaths skyrocket in California! ‘Mericans still confused about viruses vs bacteria! H1N1 hits Egypt!

Alberta, Canada: The province has officially run out of vaccines! More than one million people vaccinated. So much for claims that not enough people are getting the flu shot!

British Colombia, Canada: 60 confirmed H1N1 cases in the Thompson Cariboo Shuswap.  BC’s Interior Health department said there’ve been at least three H1N1 deaths.  Health officials warned “The lab confirmed cases represent the tip of the iceberg when it comes to influenza activity.”

Northwest Territories, Canada: One H1N1 death, but health officials say overall flu cases have diminished. Note that the NWT is extremely cold, so much for the main streamer news media claiming flu is a cold weather bug.

Egypt:  Despite a screwed up pro-U.S. government, Egyptian health officials were finally able to reveal that 24 people have died from H1N1 in the past two months.  195 hospitalized.

Hungary, European Union: National Center for Epidemiology reports 14300 people with flu symptoms.

Mexico: Influenza deaths at 227 (209 are H1N1).  2214 confirmed cases of influenza.  21-million 500-thousand people have been vaccinated!  Apparently the flu shots government officials are so proud of aren’t working!  Officials continue to say the situation is “normal”!  However, President Enrique Peña Nieto has ordered the Ministry of Health to be more forthcoming in making data public!

Japan: Health officials are trying out a new anti-viral drug called favipiravir, or T-705.  This because the H1N1 in Japan is now resistant to Tamiful and Relenza.  Recently published studies out of Europe blame it on the overuse of prescription drugs in Japan.

California, U.S.A.:  Mendocino County reports three H1N1 deaths.  San Diego reports nine new flu deaths in the past week. Fresno County Public Health reports 14 H1N1 deaths, 31 people in ICU.  Sacramento County reports death toll now at 24, 91 people hospitalized.

Nevada, U.S.A.: Washoe County reports eight more H1N1 deaths. Hospitalizations are up, but don’t blame it on people not getting the flu shot!  Washoe County also reports lines of people waiting to get vaccinated!  I’ve asked this before: Is there a connection between the H1N1 outbreak and increased vaccinations? “Last year, out of the 814 laboratory cases that we had, none of them died. this year, we had eight who died.”-Randall Todd, Washoe County

Tennessee, U.S.A.: Officials with Hendersonville Christian Academy show their ignorance about H1N1.  Local news reports said the school was fighting H1N1 with an ozone generator.  It is designed to kill bacteria. H1N1 is a virus, not a bacteria, and is not likely to be affected by anything designed to take out bacteria!  You need to use a super intense ultraviolet light that literally fries all microbes, like many hospitals are starting to do.

Texas, U.S.A.: State health officials on alert as H1n1 deaths hit 35, most taking place in recent days.

A new study says “...study participants whose mothers were exposed [to influenza] had a significant 5.03-fold increased risk of bipolar disorder with psychotic features…”  If influenza can cause bipolar problems for the unborn, why not the flu vaccine?  After all, vaccines use the actual virus to theoretically force your body to develop immunity!

Trilateral Commission member Japan wants UN to recognize slave labor industry as a “World Heritage”!

05 February 2014 (08:37 UTC-07 Tango)/04 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/16 Bahman 1392/06 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Since 2009 Japan has been pushing for the UNESCO to recognize several industrial steel factories as “World Heritage Sites”.  The problem is that some of them were operated using slave laborers from Korea!

Koreans are specifically angry about Yawata (Yahata) Steel Works.  The factory was built in 1896 on the former location of the town of Yahata, Japan.  It’s interesting that the Wikipedia entry for the factory makes no mention of the use of slave laborers during the first half of the 20th Century.

Koreans are also upset over the Hashima (Nagasaki-ken) shipyards, basically a shipyard island reminiscent of California’s Alcatraz prison.   No walls were needed to hold in the slaves because they were surrounded by ocean.

Japan ‘administered’ Korea as a “protectorate” from 1876 to 1945.  Japan saw Korea as a Japanese colony, and began settling Japanese in earnest in 1910.  Displaced Koreans were often forced into slave labor.  Japan even went so far as to create official history research groups to prove that Korea belonged to the Japanese!

Koreans were also sent to Japan to Japanify them and to help the Japanese military industrial complex (under the National Mobilization Law, you see laws can be bad).  According to the Korean Youth Association, when U.S. forces occupied Japan in 1945 they discovered that at least 13% of the 2-million+ Koreans living in Japan were outright slaves!  In one year alone (1944-45) 670-thousand Koreans were forced to work in Japan!  At least 60-thousand died!  And this is just the stats for those who were forced to work in Japan, the Nipponese had slave laborers all over mainland Asia.

Koreans rightly say that instead of naming Yawata (Yahata) Steel Works and Hashima (Nagasaki-ken) shipyards as World Heritage sites they should be treated like NAZI concentration camps, such as Auschwitz-Birkenau, and be used to remind the Japanese of their dishonorable behavior!

Remember, Japan is a puppet of the United States, and the Obama regime has repeatedly stated they will back up Japan even if it means war with China or North Korea.  Obama is not bringing the troops back home from the illegal War on Terror, he’s  shifting U.S. military power to Japan, and South Korea, for the coming war with China.

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

Trilateral Commission member Japan wants UN to recognize Kamikaze suicide bombers as a “World Heritage”!

04 February 2014 (00:44 UTC-07 Tango)/03 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/15 Bahman 1392/05 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

The Chiran Peace Museum preserves 14-thousand letters, farewell notes and poems written by Japanese suicide bombers before they flew off to crash their planes into U.S. ships towards the end of World War 2.  Now they want UNESCO to declare some of those letters as World Heritage.

Basically Japan sees its suicide bombers as heroes, even though Japan is responsible for starting the Pacific Theater of the Second World War (along with all their crimes against humanity that they still deny!).

So maybe 60 or 70 years from now all those U.S. sponsored al Qaeda suicide bombers will be honored as heroes by UNESCO?

Remember, Japan is a puppet of the United States, and the Obama regime has repeatedly stated they will back up Japan even if it means war with China.  Obama is not bringing the troops back home from the illegal War on Terror, he’s  shifting U.S. military power to Japan, and South Korea, for the coming war with China.

Fukushima

More Fukushima Fallout: Japanese media ordered to halt negative nuclear power reports! TEPCo dumps nuke waste on private property! U.S. investigation finds U.S. nuke plants lacking!

31 January 2014 (12:34 UTC-07 Tango)/29 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/11 Bahman 1392/01 Yi-Chou (1st month) 4712 (Happy New Year!)

Residents of Shiga Prefecture have filed a criminal complaint against TEPCo, for illegally dumping nuclear waste! One of those residents is a former professor of environmental toxicology at Kyoto University.  The dumping was carried out by contractors and subcontractors, who wantonly dumped cesium contaminated lumber into a river and even on private property, between March and April 2013!!!

Officials at Fukushima Daiichi say they will try using apatite filters to try an capture the strontium-90 that’s still pouring into the groundwater.  Apatite is used at the Hanford disaster site in Washington, United States.

Japanese officials say Hanford officials told them the apatite filter absorbs 90% of strontium.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission reported to Congress on the results of their investigation into the U.S. nuke industry.  The investigation was spurred by the ongoing Fukushima Daiichi disaster.  The NRC said U.S. nuclear power plants are lacking emergency plans to deal with long term power outages and need to be upgraded to handle natural disasters!

Japan’s NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation) told a longtime radio host to stop making negative comments about nuclear power.  The radio host is also a economics professor at Tokyo University.

Nakakita Toru quit in protest after being told his reports could influence “voting behavior”!

There are a couple of factors here.  One: NHK has a new pro-government/pro-nuke manager.  To give you an idea of how loopy this guy is, Momii Katsuto recently stated that all waring parties (during the Second World War) employed official government paid prostitutes!  Japan was the only country that did so (calling them Comfort Women), and now he has been forced to apologize for his totally ignorant comment.  But he didn’t exactly apologize, he said his comment was his personal opinion, not the official opinion of NHK.

Two: The Japanese government recently created a state-secrets law.  Critics say it targets the news media.  One poll showed that 61% of Japanese consider the state-secrets law “problematic”.

Tokyo Electric Power Company is reporting a record $7.54-billion USD in profits, just for the months of April through December! However, they admit it’s a result of jacking up electricity rates for customers and the massive taxpayer bailout!

Norovirus Vomiting Bug: Cruise ships hit hard! Japan hit hard, again! Hospital infections & deaths being hushed up? Using too many drugs can make it worse!

26 January 2014 (01:50 UTC-07 Tango)/24 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/06 Bahman 1392/26 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) can cause norovirus like symptoms.  Most tumors are detected after misdiagnosis.

India: A new medical study, to be published in February, shows that the more prescription drugs you use, the harder it is to deal with tummy infections.  Specifically the vomiting bug bacteria known as shigellosis.  Researchers warn against using nalidixic acid, ampicillin, co-trimoxazole and ciprofloxacin.

Italy: A study says giving your baby probiotics will reduce the chances of it getting some types of gastrointestinal diseases.  Probiotics are ‘good’ bacteria that help your stomach.

Aomori Prefecture, Japan: At least 77 people with symptoms of norovirus after eating box lunches (bentos) they bought at a store. The store has been ordered to stop selling the lunches.

Gunma Prefecture, Japan:  At least 2800 people sickened after eating frozen foods laced with malathion.  An arrest has been made.  Company officials have apologized.  Police suspect the employee they arrested deliberately poisoned the frozen foods, over the course of four production runs, because of issues regarding his pay.  The employee denies the accusation.

Hiroshima, Japan: 303 Junior High School students, and 20 teachers from ten schools got sick.  Health officials suspect norovirus.  Lunches for all ten schools are supplied by the same food service contractor.

Kyoto, Japan: Four people dead at Soseikai General Hospital.  Officials finally revealed the seriousness of the outbreak, saying it’s been going on for the past five weeks!  At least 101 patients and employees of the hospital have been infected with norovirus.

United Kingdom:  Health official are telling people that if they’ve been sick with norovirus symptoms, they need to stay away from hospitals for at least 48 hours after feeling better. Norovirus continues to close hospital wards with  Wigan Infirmary and Wrexham Maelor Hospital.

Georgia, United States: Reports of 30 people down at the Warner Robins Rehabilitation and Nursing Center.  Both patients and employees are sick.  Tests are being done to determine the cause.

Florida, United States: Indian River County revealing that “Norovirus has been identified as the culprit in several recent outbreaks in long term care facilities….”-Cheryl Dunn, Florida Department of Health

Minnesota, United States: Many students at schools in Hermantown were out sick due to an outbreak.  A school nurse noted that most of the locals were calling it a flu outbreak, when in fact it is probably norovirus.  They are suspecting self serve lunches in the schools’ cafeterias.

New Jersey, United States: The Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas ship halted its voyage to the U.S. Virgin Islands shortly after leaving Cape Liberty.  303 passengers and crew became violently ill.  The ship had to be “sanitized” in Puerto Rico.  The U.S. CDC will investigate.

New York, United States:  Duchess County Department of Health warning of increased gastrointestinal diseases.   Specifically norovirus.

Virginia, United States: In Midlothian, it’s been revealed there was an outbreak of norovirus at the Bon Secours Saint Francis Medical Center.  Between 30 to 40 hospital employees got sick after eating food brought in by a contracted food service.  The actual cause is still being investigated.

The U.S. CDC says norovirus accounts for as many as 800 deaths in the United States, every year.

Norovirus (aka Norwalk Virus), is a surface contact bug, meaning you pick it up by touching or eating it.  It is not influenza and there is still no vaccine for fast evolving RNA norovirus.  The only ‘treatment’ is to keep the sick person hydrated.

Exotic anti-biotic soaps can’t kill norovirus, or any other virus for that matter, because anti-biotics are only for bacteria.  Despite that, even hand ‘sanitizers’ made with alcohol can’t totally get rid of norovirus.   Guess what apparently works?  According to the U.S. CDC old fashioned hand soap is best.  Consumer Reports says to leave the soap on your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds.  Also, in public restrooms use a paper towel to turn off the faucet and to open the door, do not touch surfaces with your bare hands after washing them.

Wash household surfaces with bleach.

The worse thing is that you can be infected and not have any symptoms.  An infected person can spread norovirus, yet not feel sick themselves. If you think you might be infected do not cook food for other people. People recovering from traditional symptoms of norovirus can continue spreading the bug for days after feeling better (some reports say weeks).

More Fukushima Fallout: TEPCo refuses to pay compensation, now facing government lawsuit!

23 January 2014 (05:08 UTC-07 Tango)/21 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/03 Bahman 1392/23 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

Tokyo Electric Power Company continues to first claim it will compensation victims of the ongoing Fukushima Daiichi disaster, but then refuses!

This time Iwate Prefecture, and several of its cities and even a garbage collection service, have filed the first prefectural government lawsuit against TEPCo.  The lawsuit is asking for only a fraction of what they originally asked TEPCo to pay.

Iwate officials presented TEPCo with a bill for $73-million USD to cover decontamination efforts that are being handled by the prefectural government (that’s right, TEPCo is not actually doing any decontamination).  TEPCo refused, and now the prefecture is suing for a paltry $14-million.

Iwate official, Odashima Tomoya, said it’s obvious TEPCo has no intention of taking responsibility for its disaster.

Fukushima

More Fukushima Fallout: Children’s Teeth inspected for Strontium! U.S. helicopters check for radiation for NFL Super Bowl, concern over Fukushima or preps for False Flag event in February?

23 January 2014 (00:15 UTC-07 Tango)/21 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/03 Bahman 1392/23 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

The Fukushima Prefecture Dental Association is leading an Environment Ministry study to inspect the teeth of local children, for strontium-90 contamination.  Dentists from other Japanese prefectures will coordinate with the Fukushima Prefecture Dental Association, as well as the University of Fukushima and Tohoku University in Miyagi Prefecture.

Strontium-90 tricks your body into thinking it is calcium, being absorbed into your bones and teeth.  Teeth from kids between the ages of five and 15, who have to have teeth pulled for whatever medical reason, will be examined for cesium.  If cesium is found then further tests for strontium-90 will be conducted.

The study begins in April and runs for 12 months.  They expect to inspect as many as 2-thousand teeth.

Mayors from cities in five prefectures are outraged at the national government’s plans to establish nuclear waste dumps, in order to deal with the never ending build up of nuke waste by Fukushima Daiichi.

The Environment Ministry announced the possible locations, to store sewage sludge, incinerated ash and other waste contaminated with radiation.  But when the Ministry asked the mayors for their cooperation some mayors refused.

Inomata Hirobumi, mayor of Kami Town in Miyagi Prefecture, said the Ministry failed to follow their own rules in picking the waste sites.  One of the rules says the sites should not be near areas that are tourist attractions.  Inomata points out that the waste site picked by the Ministry sees more than 1-million tourists per year!

Sato Isamu, mayor of Kurihara City in the same prefecture, said the Ministry’s waste site just happens to be in the path of the main water source for a city reservoir!

In British Columbia, Canada, there are reports that people are making runs on pharmacies for potassium iodide.   Some pharmacists are lying to their potential customers telling them they need a prescription, when they really don’t.

The reason is that iodide can be bad for you if you take too much.

News reports say some Canadians on the west coast are overreacting to continued and increasing  amounts of radiation pouring into the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima Daiichi, and the comments made by environmentalist David Suzuki: “……if, in fact, the fourth plant goes under in an earthquake and those  rods are exposed, it’s bye-bye Japan and everybody on the West Coast of North America should evacuate.”

Of course, Suzuki was citing the 2013 World Nuclear Industry Status Report.

The U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) in cooperation with New Jersey’s Office of Emergency Management, is using Bell 412 (an evolved version of the old Vietnam era Huey) helicopters to take airborne radiation samples around New York and New Jersey.  This might not be new news, but what is is that the New Jersey State Police revealed that it’s all about this year’s NFL Super Bowl at the Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford.

The Bell 412s (which are not “massive” helicopters as first reported by some sources) are currently flying as low as 46 meters (150 feet), and at 129km per hour (80 miles per hour) to conduct the air sampling.

The Super Bowl takes place on 02 February.  Federal officials have been openly saying the airborne radiation checks are not related to Fukushima, but are about establishing a “baseline” of background radiation just in case of an “event”.

“If sometime in the future you have a reason to be looking for something radiological, it’s very necessary to have the original background.”-Joseph Krol, NNSA

The New Jersey OEM lied and said the sampling was normal: “The measurement of naturally occurring radiation to establish baseline levels is a routine security and emergency preparedness activity. The NJ State Police are partnering with the NNSA to make the public aware of the upcoming flights and insure that citizens who see the low-flying aircraft are not alarmed.”-New Jersey OEM statement

Think about it, if it’s “routine” then why all this effort to inform the public so it is not “alarmed”?

Also, why is it focused on New York/New Jersey and why the hurry to to get it done by 25 January, before the Super Bowl?

Influenza

Influenza: H7N9 medical martial law! U.S. CDC issues directive!

22 January 2014 (17:32 UTC-07 Tango 21 January)/20 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/02 Bahman 1392/22 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

China: National Health and Family Planning Commission now coordinating closely with other national and local government departments to stop the spread of deadly H7N9.   The UN World health Organization reports at least 47 confirmed H7N9 cases in China since the beginning of January.  Most are hospitalized in critical condition. 

Since March 2013, there’ve been at least 200 human cases in China, with at least 55 deaths.

Health officials continue to claim H7N9 is not a human to human virus, despite that fact that more and more cases involve people who’s only contact with H7N9 is with infected humans.

Also, The South China Morning Post says an unnamed hospital official confirmed that a 31 years old surgeon who recently died from H7N9 had no contact with birds.  The unnamed hospital official thinks the doctor got sick from hospital patients infected with H7N9.

Back in August 2013, it was confirmed that a woman caring for her sick father caught H7N9 from him.

Japan:  Japanese health officials have been warning for a long time that H7N9 has become a human influenza.  Now the Japanese government is preparing for medical martial law.

The Tokyo Quarantine Station and Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department held a drill in which 35 people were locked down at the Haneda Airport, for being infected with H7N9.  Japanese health officials say the only way H7N9 is going to get into their country is from sick travelers.

Taiwan: Health officials know what Japan is fearing, as two people who traveled to Taiwan, from mainland China, brought H7N9 with them.  One of those has just died.

An 86 years old man who arrived in Taiwan, in December, sick with H7N9 has just died.  Interestingly he died six days after being released from medical quarantine.  The official cause of death is septic shock.

The first person to bring H7N9 to Taiwan was a man returning from a business trip to China, in April 2013.  It took one month of intensive care before he recovered.

United States: “Potential cases of human infection with influenza A (H7N9) virus should also be investigated, using current case definitions and testing recommendations for avian influenza A (H7N9) virus.”-U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

More Fukushima Fallout: Reactor 3 containment vessel leaking Strontium!

Officials with Tokyo Electric Power Company say they know where the mystery water leak in reactor Unit 3 is coming from; the containment vessel!

Yesterday TEPCo reported the water leak when a robot clearing radioactive rubble from the building discovered it.

TEPCo also adds that the water is contaminated with 24 million becquerels per liter of strontium-90, and 1.7 million becquerels per liter of cesium-137!
