Czars, in Today's News 10.16.09

Czars. Just a thought. Many have commented that it is ironic that the extremely-left Obama administration would use the word 'czar' to define the 32 people hired to control various matters from the automotive industry to compensation decisions. The Czar after all was the main European bulwark for many decades against the same outlook as Obama's.

But maybe, just maybe, Obama's czar is a shortening (and deliberate misspelling) of the word 'commissar'. The Russian revolution brought the concept of commissars to the political world, and they seem to have played the same role then that Obama's 'czars' play today.

Just a thought.

Bank of America, in Today's News 10.16.09

Bank of America. Wow, does the cryptocracy ever have a thing against Bank of America Chief Executive Officer Kenneth D. Lewis. After months of harassment, they finally forced him to retire. Now yesterday the "pay czar" decided that Lewis must give back $1 million dollars in salary, plus forego the rest of his salary for 2009.

As the Wall Street Journal remarks today, "The move makes Mr. Lewis the biggest target so far of Kenneth Feinberg, the Treasury's 'special master' for compensation."

The public will probably never know the inside story behind this unprecedented effort to drive out and victimize the head of a prominent bank. But, it certainly would be a juicy story.

Incidentally, Lewis is probably regretting his decision to retire before the pay czar made his decision. Lewis now has no base that he could use to fight back.

Health Care, in Today's News 10.15.09

Health Care. The Church Bishops have released another statement on the proposed Obama health care legislation. The Bishops commendably expressed their disappointment that the Senate Finance Committee passed its version of health reform legislation without resolving problems related to abortion funding, conscience rights, affordability and legal immigrants. The Bishops say they will oppose the law if it stands as written now.

One can only applaud the Bishops if they oppose the legislation, no matter what the reason. Let us hope they have the backbone to carry through. 

Catholic Church, in Today's News 10.14.09

Catholic Church. The Judaization of the Church continues apace. The Vatican has announced that Benedict XVI will visit the Rome synagogue and meet with the city's Jewish community in January.

The Pope did not wake up one morning and decide to make this visit. For someone of the stature of the Pope, a meeting such as this one, requires months of discussion, planning and arrangement-setting between the respective staffs. That all this occurred is indicated by the date chosen, which is a Jewish commemoration.

One would think the Church situation was just fine, and therefore important staff time can be spent on a visit to the Rome synagogue. But as any school child knows, the seminaries are still shutting down, religious have almost disappeared, pews are empty, etc. All these issues deserve the overriding attention of the central Church figures, and this doesn't even mention world events such as the economic crisis, threats of war, etc.

No, Benedict doesn't seem to prioritize what would seem to be the central Church problems. He has set a course to make nice to the those who follow the Talmud. Benedict has set an example through his actions for the whole Church that 'reconciliation' with the Rabbis is task number one. As a result the insidious influence of the Talmud creeps into the Church.

The Church has 2,000 years of experience on the questions of Judaization. Yet, Benedict, who presumably knows something about history, conveniently throws out all the Church experience without even a reference to it.

The humorous part of all this is: no matter how much Benedict does to please the Rabbis, it is still not enough. In his recent trip to Israel several influential figures among the Rabbis simply tore apart Benedict and especially his remarks on the holocaust.

Here's a list of what Benedict has done during his Papacy to show his support for Judaization: (the list mostly comes from an article by John Thavis at Catholic News Service)

** Visited the main New York synagogue.

** Visited the main Cologne, Germany synagogue.

** Visited Auschwitz.

** Traveled to Israel.

** Went to the wailing wall.

** Met holocaust survivors at the holocaust memorial in Jerusalem.

Also, there seems to be a steady stream of Judaic leaders to the Vatican to speak with Benedict.

H1N1 (Swine) Flu Update No 54, in Today's News 10.14.09

H1N1 (Swine) Flu. The swine-flu scare campaign directors keep trying to convince the public that the swine flu threat is really, really serious. Any little item that can somehow be blown up into something dramatic is good enough for them.

The Wall Street Journal today (page A6) reports that almost half of those afflicted with swine flu who went to the hospital had no chronic underlying condition. Sounds scary, right?  Well, so far a total of 644 people out of the entire American population fit this category. The WSJ also fails to compare this number with the numbers for seasonal flu. One can be sure that seasonal flu is probably worse.

The media and their employers want so much for there to be a swine flu pandemic, that they are willing stretch any little truth into a big, big deal.

Today's Agence French Press has an article that claims that seasonal flu is more deadly than swine flu. So far, so good. But the article goes on to say that a second wave of swine flu should be expected any time now. Try, try again. The first wave was a complete dud. So now, the scare campaign directors are going to try to conjure up the real deal for a second wave.

H1N1 (Swine) Flu Update No 53, in Today's News 10.13.09

H1N1 (Swine) Flu. The expected propaganda barrage to stampede the public into accepting swine-flu vaccinations is now proceeding. As a result it has become almost impossible to keep up with the distortions, half-truths, exaggerations, misleading data, lies, fear-mongering and hysteria. Apparently the directors of the swine-flu scare campaign will stop at nothing.

Here are few things to watch out for:

** Deaths. The directors are intent on publicizing any death related to swine flu. Especially important to them are deaths of young people. The directors figure that this emphasis is the surest way of scaring everyone into believing that an essentially harmless virus is in fact very dangerous. The media, of course, will jump on anything to please the directors. Case in point: a 14-year old girl was reported to have died suddenly in northern Illinois from swine flu. This gave the media an opportunity for big headlines, etc. Only problem: one day later it turned out she had a heart condition. Nota bene: almost every death from swine flu is with people who have an underlying serious health problem.

** Hysteria. The media does all it can to promote hysteria, to make people do irrational things. In a small town paper received here, the high school football game was cancelled because three players had 'swine flu'. It probably was only seasonal flu because it takes some time to prove it was swine flu. And yet on very little evidence the big event in town gets cancelled.

** Misleading data. Hardly a day goes by without a newspaper reporting an increase in swine flu. But check the data carefully. First it is probably not swine flu, but a seasonal flu or even a cold. Second, the data is usually insignificant but the media presents it in the most dramatic fashion. 

** Fear-mongering. Today the Wall Street Journal ran a front page article warning that swine flu could overwhelm hospital intensive care units. They cite three studies to back up their conclusions. The idea here is that if people can be convinced that the hospitals will not be able to handle the cases, then this virus has to be really serious. But if the article is read carefully the authors are talking about a highly hypothetical situation.

** Panic. Headlines began appearing today that there is not enough vaccine to go around, so therefore everyone should get their shot now before the supply runs out. But, it has been known for months that the vaccine would be available late. Plus there is no sign that swine flu is taking hold. So doesn't it seem strange that these headlines would appear now? Well, no, if you have no conscience and want to institutionalize mandatory vaccinations.

Other examples will appear as the directors become more and more desperate for their campaign to succeed.

H1N1 (Swine) Flu Update No 52, in Today's News 10.09.09

H1N1 (Swine) Flu. One of the central factors behind the crazed swine-flu scare campaign became clear today. The Wall Street Journal ran a major feature article on GlaxoSmithKline PLC, one of the manufactures of the swine-flu vaccine. The front page article, "Glaxo's Big Bet on Battling Pandemics," describes how Glaxo is risking its corporate future on selling vaccines for pandemics, starting with swine flu.

Here are some quotes that demonstrate that Glaxo has been one on the key motivating forces behind the swine-flu campaign. Government agencies, health groups, the media and others are cooperating in this unprecedented fraud to ensure profits for Glaxo and its fellow manufacturers of vaccine.

"GlaxoSmithKline PLC has spent five years fashioning itself into a one-stop pandemic shop."

"Glaxo began delivering doses of its new H1N1 vaccine this week...to combat, and cash in on [!!!!], virulent virus strains."

"The company has spent more than $3.2 billion on research, acquisitions and extra manufacturing in anticipation of a flu pandemic." Curious, is it not, that they knew when a pandemic would occur and therefore to spend piles of money to be ready just in time.

"With the new H1N1 strain sparking concern around the world, the company has faced some accusations of profiteering." No!! How could that be?

"So far, [Glaxo's] gamble appears to be paying off. On Tuesday, Glaxo said governments around the globe have ordered 440 million doses of its swine-flu vaccine...and could represent revenues of some $4 billion...Glaxo has also received an order from the US for about $250 million worth of bulk-vaccine ingredients and 'pandemic products.'"

"Glaxo's strategy reflects how drug makers are pushing beyond prescription pills as valuable patents expire...A business built on vaccines is less likely to be undercut by low-cost producers..."

"[Glaxo Chief Executive Officer] believes that with governments becoming more concerned about pandemics, the business has staying power."

"With its [2004] bird-flu vaccine in hand, Glaxo started promoting the shots hard...Glaxo kept pushing. It signed contracts with governments...Throughout 2008, as bird flu continued to circulate, Glaxo representatives made frequent house calls to countries' heath ministries."

"When swine flu surfaced...Glaxo quickly shifted gears...Glaxo flu experts intensified their visits to national health ministries. Some in the industry say the company walked a fine line between educating government officials and making a hard sell.[!!!!!!] Glaxo says its visits are aimed at telling governments about the changing state of the swine-flu virus..." [!!!!!!]

And so, the whole world is thrown in turmoil to ensure Glaxo and Big Pharm have their profits!

The story is clear. In the face of declining profits, Glaxo came up with a new product, pandemic vaccine. Once that was in place, Glaxo only needed two things: demand for the product and a pandemic. 

Glaxo, and presumably other Big Pharm firms, lobbied governments here and there on the need for their product. They even 'educated' these governments about the danger of the flu bugs. Many governments bought in, purchasing (big) contracts for the vaccines. 

Glaxo's game plan fit perfectly with the cryptocracy's goal of instituting mandatory vaccination on the world's population. The cryptocracy's support meant that the media, governments, health organization would all line up to accomplish the project.

All that was needed was a good pandemic. Coincidentally, just when all the elements were in place, along came swine flu. How could Glaxo ever have known to have their scheme all set just at the moment swine flu appeared? [Sarcasm]

These people have no conscience whatsoever.
