    @Frank

    Your line of reaoning makes sense up to a point. What good is it to China to own the US. They don’t have territorial aspirations as far as I know (that would make a big mess). They are much smarter to take the US on a leesh, guaranteeing safety for the Chinese and getting value for their dollars over the longer term. Maybe the US sells them their nuclear arsenal under the guise of global disarmament, making Obama a hero, enabling a reconstruction etc.

    After all, what did the US do for Germany after WOII? The main issue is (imho) who holds the stick.

    “Tim Geithner is the Secretary Treasurer for China. He is weakening the dollar and encouraging China to increase its domestic economy.”

    Tim Geithner is the sitting governor of the board of the IMF for the US. ZHOU Xiaochuan is the sitting governor of the board of the IMF for China. Are you unaware of the ‘conflict of interest’ involved in being the board governor for the IMF for a country and also the financial secretary? The power structure is farcical: in reality Geithner works for the BIS because they pay his salary.

    http://www.imf.org/external/np/sec/memdir/members.htm

    America is ceding control to the EU through the G20 power structure which gives Europe an advantage in representation. The IMF continues to function as control vector, with the sdr fiat allotments making the IMF a global central bank.

    Copenhagen is a transfer of taxation from industrial profiting to a post-industrial world visioned by elite members at the Club of Rome. The post-industrial world will be controlled by a member elite from Europe with industrial output managed by supra-sovereign agents of the international banking elite.

    If anyone has any updates on the Ukraine situation, please post.

    I cannot find any MSM updates today. The WHO does not have any recent information even thought they state this is an extremely deadly emergent issue:

    “Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 is a new influenza virus that has never circulated among humans before. After outbreaks in North America early in 2009, the virus spread rapidly around the world. Pandemic influenza is transmitted like seasonal influenza but people have virtually no immunity to it. Mitigating its effects is a public health priority. ”

    http://www.who.int/topics/influenza/en/

    This should be front page news with frequent updates.

    Why was there this sudden outbreak of such a deadly and never before circulated virus (to which we have virtually no immunity)?

    Stiglitz declares that GDP is not an appropriate term for the post-industrial nwo:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUaJMNtW6GA

    Those who help the transfer of wealth and consolidation of power will be rewarded: as in Tony Blair for EU president. The nwo will not be an egalitarian social structure. The population declared viable will slave for those who are ‘more equal’. The countries will not retain their right to self-determination. The individual will not retain his right to self-determination. Self-determination will be a role of the collective will as dominated by the influence of ‘the wise men’.

    Words are being used to enslave the nations: words of humanitarian hope which belie the true agenda. The move to abolish gdp in the vocabulary of economics is a move aligned with the castration of the sovereign agency of the individual. To me this is antithetical to the term human.

    @WL thank you for the link.
    There is so much conflicting information among all the different sources, this is proof (to me) that deception abounds.

    @warburg sidney, Perhaps all of the above. It appears that mass confusion via intentional misinformation is being used to keep everyone off balance. Could be an attempt to promote a tainted or worthless vaccine or could be an attempt to make people reject a real vaccine. This issue has been thoroughly muddled for a purpose.

    “Small, Small World”

    It’s a world of deception,
    A world of tears.
    It’s a world of oppression,
    A world of fears.
    There’s so much that we share,
    That it’s time we’re aware,
    It’s enslavement after all.

    Chorus:
    It’s enslavement after all.
    It’s enslavement after all.
    It’s enslavement after all.
    It’s a New, One world.

    There is just one moon,
    And one golden sun.
    They are owned by “the club“
    with the force of the gun.
    Though propaganda divides,
    And the Fraud is world wide,
    We can’t run and we can’t hide.

    Repeat Chorus

    *sorry, couldn’t resist….. that song has been going around in my head and I had to make it go away. ;)

    LIAR OF THE YEAR
    OR
    HOW THE CDC TRIED TO SAVE ITS OWN ASS AND FAILED
    By Jon Rappoport
    http://www.nomorefaknews.com
    http://www.insolutions.info

    NOVEMBER 12, 2009. Well, the only thing left for the CDC to say is 300 million people in the US have Swine Flu and we’re all dead.

    So let me beat them to the punch. We’re all dead, folks. We just think we’re alive. But we need the vaccine anyway.

    Can’t somebody just shut down the CDC headquarters and fumigate the place? It’s still sweating the sweat that exudes when arrogant scumbags try to defend a crumbling position they established in the first place.

    Here’s what went down. A mild flu season. That’s all. But the CDC had gone out on a limb with cries of PANDEMIC and they were pushing it to the wall. They were committed.

    So they stopped testing people for H1N1 in JULY. From that point on, they winged it. They didn’t want the public to know it was a mild flu season. So they stopped testing. Instead, from that point on, anybody with a sniffle or a little cough or a limp or a pimple or a glass of booze in his system or a hangnail or a shirttail hanging out was diagnosed with Swine Flu.

    And even then, the numbers weren’t high enough, so the CDC just began to make it up. They had to. They were committed.

    Two days before Obama announced his “nationwide Swine Flu State of Emergency,” Tom Frieden, the CDC director, drank four cups of coffee, stood up before the press, and said “many millions” of people in US had Swine Flu. He pulled that right out of his butt. Up until that moment, the figure was somewhere around 44,000. He looked straight ahead and said “many millions.” And the reporters stood there and looked blank. As usual.

    But “many millions” is too vague, so today the CDC released an exact (approximate) figure. 22 million. There it is. And they said 98,000 people have been hospitalized with Swine Flu—these are the sniffling hangnail people who were never tested for H1N1. And then finally, as an afterthought, the CDC said 4000 people in the US have already died from Swine Flu.

    Throw it out there. 22 million. 98,000. 4000. Why not?

    Hail Mary.

    The funny thing is, the CDC and the World Health Organization have, in the past, released other figures—not about Swine Flu—about regular old run-of-the-mill flu. Flu without a fancy name, without letters and numbers to designate the virus. Just common flu. Stupid boring flu.

    And these figures are?

    Let’s start with the US. (Ref: JAMA; 289 (2); 179-86) Every year, in the US (that’s EVERY YEAR, NOT JUST THIS YEAR), 36,000 people die in the US from ordinary flu. Boom.

    So today, winging it, CDC stated 4000 people have died from the Swine Flu in 6 months. But every year, NINE times that many die from ordinary flu. And ordinary flu is not called a pandemic, and no one goes crazy, and the media say nothing, and there is no hysteria. Oops.

    Furthermore, the standard figure for hospitalizations from ordinary flu in the US—every year—is 200,000. If 98,000 people have been hospitalized in the US with Swine Flu in the last six months (and remember, this is a lie based on nothing because the CDC stopped testing anyone for Swine Flu in JULY), that would average out to about 200,000 Swine Flu hospitalizations for the year. Which is what happens EVERY YEAR, according to the CDC. Every year. Any year. From run-of-the-mill no-name flu. Which no one calls a pandemic.

    Now let’s go global. (Ref. WHO Fact Sheet #211, March 2003) WHO estimates that “up to” 500,000 people in the world die every year from ordinary no-name flu. Half a million. According to the Nov.12 update from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, there have been 6707 deaths, worldwide, in the last six months from Swine Flu.

    Some very recent figures from the US and Brazil may not be included. So let’s say it’s not 6707, it’s 10,000. 20,000. Multiply that by two and you get 40,000 deaths from Swine Flu in the world for the whole of 2009.

    But globally, 500,000 people die EVERY YEAR from ordinary no-name flu. And that is not called a pandemic and the press doesn’t care, and the CDC and WHO don’t make a big deal out of it.

    So again, let’s cut to the chase. Everybody in the world has Swine Flu. We all died. We’re all dead. But we all need the vaccine.

It earlier reached a record high of more than 29 million per tael, online newswire Dan Tri reported, citing local jewelers. One tael is about 1.2 oz of gold.

    … All victims of the virus in Bukovina (22 persons aged 20 to 40 years) died not from bilateral pneumonia, as previously thought, but as a result of viral disstressindroma, ie total lung injury: first comes the cardio-pulmonary insufficiency, and then developed cardiogenic shock, which causes cardiac arrest and death…

    @phil

    The culprit seems to be bacterial. There are bacterial infections that can spread though the eye. Virusses are never toxic (they don’t produce anything), bacteria can.So we have several options (intentional or not):

    - A hype driven mainly by the FTO website.
    - A bacterial infection due to unhygenic circumstances in Ukrain (according to some), somewhat dependend on weakened victimes
    - A bacterial/viral variant of h1n1 with different tissue affinity, more deadly.

    The cardiac arrest due to shock is similar to blood poisoning. Another theory is that there is an immunogenic shock (cytokinin), where the lungs are damaged due to a strong immune response.

    All the same i think the west is extremely vulnerable to any bioattack, you can;t have a life without risking infection..

    I don’t believe that it’s the H1N1 virus which is causing death in the Ukrain. If it is it must be a lab engineered mutated one cause the H1N1 we have is quiet harmless. In fact more people died of the seasonal flu than the H1N1 we have.

    From what I read from the Ukrain they are not even sure which virus. They reported some H1N1 cases but they also said they don’t know about all cases.
