Ukraine and the New Improved H1N1

Ukraine plague / h1n1 update 25 November – almost 40000 infected in one day, h1n1 mutated

Wednesday, November 25, 2009 – 21:05

Almost 40 000 people got infected since yesterday in the Ukraine by what we still call the “Ukraine plague” but doctors have said recently that this is a stronger case of h1n1 or swine flu…

The Carry Trade

The carry trade (is) where investors sell short the dollar and use the proceeds to buy stocks and commodities like gold and oil … A reversal in the dollar’s downtrend (a reversal of the carry trade) could lead to one heck of a correction in all the other assets.

The Consumer’s Credit Card Capacity Collapse; R.I.P. U.S. Middle Class Purchasing Power

Tyler Durden on 11/24/2009

The recurring problem: continued massive credit contraction – … After total unused credit card lines peaked at $4.7 trillion in Q2 2008, the number has plunged to $3.5 trillion: a $1.2 trillion evaporation of consumer purchasing power (a contraction of 25%. And,) the actual amount borrowed on credit cards is also declining. …

(The American consumer) accounts for 75% of America’s GDP, and by implication, almost a third of world GDP.

(That is a big sector of the world economy that is deflating.)

Dollar Death

The U.S. dollar is going to fall off a cliff over the next 12 to 18 months. It will be devalued by 55%-80%. There’s no way to stop it.

This year’s deficit is roughly 11% of the entire U.S. economy. … The result is annual deficits so large they can’t be financed – literally… The U.S. can’t refinance them. … So far, the Federal Reserve has monetized $1.75 trillion … that is, it printed up dollars and used them to buy government debt. …

We’re forcing our creditors to make an impossible choice. Stay with the dollar and see 50% or more of their intrinsic value wiped out… or abandon the dollar completely and risk a global crisis. … Our creditors will choose the latter option. They simply have no choice. …

Inflation is already warping Hong Kong’s economy.

Where is the money going, it’s where the problems going to be: Asia…

Over the last year, Hong Kong’s economy has contracted – in every quarter. (But) the Hong Kong dollar is pegged, via a currency board, to the U.S. dollar. For every dollar that enters Hong Kong, a matching Hong Kong dollar is injected into the banking system. In the last 12 months, Hong Kong’s money supply has soared 55%. …

Sooner or later, a nation’s creditors figure out it doesn’t have enough money to repay its debts or even continue to pay a market rate of interest on its existing obligations. As various short-term debts mature, creditors are unwilling to roll over the debt at any price the country can afford. That triggers a default… and chaos. All around the world, bondholders try to dump that country’s bonds. They also pull all of their currency out of the country, as quickly as they can. Almost overnight, the entire banking system collapses because there’s a huge drain of foreign deposits.

Speculators figured out how to predict if a country would fall into this trap. The secret formula was published in a 1999 academic paper by two well-known economists – Alan Greenspan and Pablo Guidotti.

It’s a very simple idea: To avoid a crisis of confidence with foreign creditors, countries must maintain hard currency reserves equal to at least 100% of their short-term foreign debt maturities. This coverage ratio has become known as the Greenspan-Guidotti rule.

The world’s largest money management firm, PIMCO, explains the rule this way:

The minimum benchmark of reserves equal to at least 100% of short-term external debt is known as the Greenspan-Guidotti rule. Greenspan-Guidotti is perhaps the single concept of reserve adequacy that has the most adherents and empirical support.

The principle behind the rule is simple. If you can’t at least pay off all of your foreign debts in the next 12 months, you’re a terrible credit risk. And if you can’t pay off your foreign debts that mature in the next year, speculators are going to target your bonds and your currency, making it impossible to refinance your debts. A default, a currency crisis, and devaluation are next.

So how does America rank on a Greenspan-Guidotti scale? It’s completely underwater. Several times over. … Altogether (the U.S. has) $484 billion of reserves. (But) we owe foreign creditors at least $1.3 trillion in the next 12 months. … This is only to cover our existing debts. The Office of Management and Budget is predicting a $1.5 trillion budget deficit over the next year.

(So, since foreign investors won’t buy this) the Federal Reserve is going to continue to monetize our national debt. … At some point over the next 12 months, there is going to be a real panic. Central banks around the world will be forced to sell their dollars and buy gold, silver, copper, and oil. These commodities are the historic hedges against a monetary crisis.

Ukraine flu – Who gets it, Who don’t

Deadly flu spreads across Ukraine

…

by Project Mayhem on 11/16/2009

… There are now 1.3 million infected in Ukraine, and over 75,000 hospitalized — IN FOURTEEN DAYS. This is very serious! Based on previous clinical data we can expect over 8,000 to be dead or soon to be dead. … Reports from doctors in Belarus (it is also in Belarus) indicate they do not expect this deadly new flu epidemic to peak until Christmas or later. …

-WHO issued a press release on Friday which contained the following astonishing quote, bordering on deception.
“Because of a sharp rise in pandemic influenza cases one week ago in Ukraine, the Ministry of Health requested assistance from WHO European Regional Office to evaluate and respond. The initial analysis of information indicates that the numbers of severe cases do not appear to be excessive when compared to the experience of other countries and do not represent any change in the transmission or virulence of the virus.”
Okay, let’s see: Ukraine asked WHO to respond. WHO sent a team to Lviv. So far so good, despite the missing gene sequences. Now wait, what? The WHO publishes their all-star analysis… “The number of severe cases do not appear to be excessive”? Are you kidding me? Please explain how 75,000 hospitalizations in two weeks is not ‘excessive’? And how all the pharmacies sold out of antivirals? And how Ukraine is under de-facto martial law? And that Yushenko gave a prime-time speech more or less threatening political dissidents if they don’t follow government orders? Or that school in Ukraine is canceled for three weeks? Half the country under quarantine? Hospitals seeing a surge of viral pneumonia patients? What gives? Are these people at WHO retarded or are they criminals? … Does the WHO contend the Ukrainian government just pulling these figures out of the air? What of the case reports of rapidly deteriorating viral pneumonia in Belarus, Ukraine, and Romania? … What about the statements from Ukrainian health officials that we have a new flu strain?

Lastly, there are signs the virus is genetic engineered. …

The swine flu virus is a triple-triple-reassortant , with the earlier triple-reassortant being approximately one decade old. The new H1N1 (’swine flu’) emerged out of nowhere … – there was no detection of sporadic community outbreaks prior to the replication coefficient exceeding 1.0, resulting in sustained transmission. So this virus emerged ready to go …

No farm or wild swine herd has been identified which served as the reservoir for original Mexico City outbreak. The “patient zero” so-hyped by CNN – a 5-year old boy from La Gloria, Mexico – supposedly contracted the infection from a swine factory farm 80km away. This, we are supposed to believe, even though the virus was not identified in any pigs at the factory farm. …

While a triple-reassortant flu is not uncommon, in the context of other information , geopolitical , economic , and scientific, the emergence of the original swine flu is extraordinarily suspect. The potential virulent reemergence (in) Ukraine after aerosol spraying is even more suspect. The H1N1 virus contains genes from multiple flu viruses – three to be precise. These three flu viruses which comprise ’swine flu’ are from multiple continents. Furthermore, a total (of) 4-8% of the RNA (genetic material) is entirely new, with no known match in the public gene databases. The RNA polymerase in this flu is extra-ordinarily error prone according to the University of Edinburgh, multiple times the error rate of seasonal flus. Furthermore, the RNA polymerase is comprised of a bird-human-pig hybrid protein trimer from an earlier H3N2 triple-reassortant. This may be partly responsible for its ability to easily bridge across species. According to Dr. Adrian Gibbs, co-creator of Tamiflu, for this virus to emerge naturally, swine would have had to pass through quarantine twice in order to acquire the necessary genetics. Once from America to Asia , with a wait time in quarantine, and then back again from Asia to America, once again with a wait time through quarantine to America. Of course, this does not even include the pig getting the necessary flu triple coinfection after making ,its journey around the world. Even after this may have hypothetically occurred, the emergent virus was suddenly evolutionarily fit to spread in pigs, yet also genetically fit to spread in humans, yet also acquiring the necessary host-to-host contact between man and pig. If this was so, why was this not detected in any swine in Mexico prior to humans spreading the virus back to their herds? This suggests the virus emerged in humans first, prior to swine, which would indicate potential genetic engineering.

Lastly , comments from Dr. Adrian Gibbs, co-creator of Tamiflu, suggest a laboratory origin for this virus. Dr. Gibbs was very courageous to state this opinion … Gibbs suggested the emergence was unintentional, but I do not believe that to be the case. Many powerful players stand to benefit from the emergence of a pandemic …

AEROSOL SPRAYING IN UKRAINE EARLY IN OUTBREAK

If one examines the charts posted at the beginning of this article, it becomes apparent the Ukraine outbreak begins approximately Oct 28 – 30, 2009 if we are to believe the official statistics. … What is curious is that this time frame coincides with reports of low-altitude aerial spraying in areas where the virus spread the most rapidly, particularly the Lviv region. In fact, reports to the Ukrainian government regarding low-altitude aerial spraying around Halloween reached such a high incidence, the government was forced to issue an official denial that were any aerial ‘flu reduction operations’ in progress. …

Ukraine Reports of Overhead Aerosol Spraying

On October 31, Kiev newspaper editors got dozens of calls about light planes doing aerosol spraying during the day. In refuting the claims, the district’s Emergency Response office said “no permission had been granted for small aviation aircraft to fly within the city limits.” Yet eye-witness accounts from Lviv, Ternopil, and other Ukraine cities said the same thing.

http://baltimorechronicle.com/2009/111109Lendman.shtml

…

Authorities in Kiev, Ukraine, deny spraying of “aerosolized medication” by aircraft over city.

The Office for Emergency Situations Desniansko district of Kyiv denies reports that in the metro “Forest” with the help of aviation dissipated funds against influenza.

Earlier today, the city rumors that over the market near the metro station “Forest” flying the plane, spraying some way from the “swine” influenza. The caller to the editors of newspapers in Kiev “forest residents reported that they or their friends or relatives of people here have seen circling over the aircraft market. It was also reported that retailers were encouraged to stay in tents.

The administration of the market “Forest” strongly refuted this information.  …

BAXTER PHARMACEUTICAL SENT DEADLY CONTAMINATED FLU VACCINES LAST YEAR

…

Last year, Chicago-based Baxter Pharmaceutical sent deadly contaminated flu vaccine to multiple sub-contractor laboratories in multiple countries – to include , at minimum Czech Republic, Slovania, Austria, and Germany. Baxter’s vaccine product was represented as H3N2 “seasonal flu” vaccine material – but this product that was somehow “accidentally” contaminated with the 30-80% deadly H5N1 ‘bird flu’. Theoretically, this could have caused a terrible global plague had this egregious mistake not been caught by a sub-sub-contractor called Biotest in the Czech Republic , who by a miracle decided to inject their animals, and noticed all their laboratory ferrets contracted lethal illness after testing Baxter’s deadly vaccine material.

Here is the relevant Bloomberg article from Feb 24, 2009: …

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601202&sid=aTo3LbhcA75I

… This should never have happened, but Baxter has offered no explanation for their actions, nor the sequence of events which resulted in this deadly incident – where restricted H5N1 bird flu virus somehow left their secure facilities ,and ended up in seasonal flu vaccine material. …

Now again, this should NEVER happen, because these pathogens are normally handled under BSL3 (Biosafety Level 3) procedures. … At the very least, Baxter’s vaccine bird flu contamination was criminally negligent. No individuals at Baxter have been brought to justice for this potentially deadly incident.

And this is not the last time you will find Baxter connected with deadly flu…

THE STRANGE CASE OF JOSEPH MOSHE, ISRAELI VIROLOGIST

Given that I run in the Internet underworld, I do have the scoop on this interesting story. In August 2009, a patriot radio host (Dr. A True Ott) on Republic Broadcast Network (RBN) received a phone call from an unidentified man with a thick Middle-Eastern accent. The man claimed to have knowledge of a large Baxter production facility in Ukraine, which he claimed was involved in producing biological weapons – particularly in the form vaccines contaminated with biologically active RNA from the H5N1 virus (sound familiar?). See above. The man claimed Baxter would eventually provoke a lethal global flu pandemic.

Now, as a radio host, Dr. Ott gets a fair amount of random phone calls, so he took what was mentioned by this mysterious caller with a grain of salt. Now the man , who turned out to be Israeli virus scientist Dr. Joseph Moshe, asked Dr. Ott where he could turn in evidence – including documents – regarding Baxter’s involvement in influenza weaponization programs, particularly through their Ukrainian production facility. Dr. Ott asked the man his location – to which the caller replied ‘Southern California’ – so Ott told the mysterious caller (Joseph Moshe) that he would be best off taking the documents to a US Attorney’s office in downtown Los Angeles.

The VERY NEXT DAY the following televised standoff occurs in the parking lot outside the LA Federal Building. Microwave weapons. Tear gas robots. Swat Teams. The works. You have to watch the video to believe it. The media and Feds claimed Joseph Moshe made threats against the White House. Are you kidding me? I don’t buy it. This guy was a threat to someone’s agenda. Watch this video of the incredible level of force used against this unassuming Israeli plant scientist, and judge for yourself what you believe.

Moshe hasn’t been heard from him since this incident – we assume he is dead. The connections between Moshe, Baxter, Ukraine, biological weapons research, and influenza, and the overwhelming use of force (microwave weapons, etc) certainly gives me pause as to what is going on here. Moshe fingered Ukraine as the source of a potential outbreak in August 2009 – months before we see what appears to be the spread of a stronger more deadly flu strain in the country he named.  I suppose we are lucky that this time it does not involve Baxter’s H5N1.
