Dead Silence: Fear and Terror on the Anthrax Trail

The link appears to be broken. I did read some other reviews and it looks good.

"The Shape of Things to Come (2010)" is available at www.halfpasthuman.com.

It is definately NOT for the unprepared or the faint of heart. It portends (or supports) the direction being pointed to by many of the posts here by Jenna and others.

Being prepared isn't going to be enough it seems. It appears we'll need a great deal of luck and an unwavering will to survive.

Then again, maybe what's being revealed are possibe outcomes which can be changed if the need is great enough and if we collectively put our minds together in a common direction.

After seeing a report this morning on Sky News detailing WHO reports of 700 Swine Flu deaths, I decided to look at the Seasonal Flu statistics: World Health Organisation - Seasonal Flu

Note the paragraph below (my emphasis):

Seasonal epidemics

Influenza epidemics occur yearly during autumn and winter in temperate regions. Illnesses result in hospitalizations and deaths mainly among high-risk groups (the very young, elderly or chronically ill). Worldwide, these annual epidemics result in about three to five million cases of severe illness, and about 250 000 to 500 000 deaths. Most deaths associated with influenza in industrialized countries occur among people age 65 or older. In some tropical countries, influenza viruses circulate throughout the year with one or two peaks during rainy seasons.


On the subject of David Shayler, I wondered if he might have some similarity to Delmart Vreeland - you know, good information in amongst the disinformation, desperately trying to ingratiate himself with researchers while trying to keep on side with an intel agency that has cut him loose and is destroying him, in that perpetual double game?

Alternatively is this a smear campaign to discredit or merely another stage in his own 'deep cover' mission? Very Odd.

Thermal depolymerization on bionic legs? This appeared in my local newspaper today:

US military robot not a man-eater, creators say

Cyclone Power Technologies has posted a response that insists “EATR” is a vegetarian. Apparently there’s some kind of law against desecrating corpses on a battlefield, so it would never eat its way through dead and dying “enemies” on way to complete some mission. That’s very reassuring.

Drone attack planes, cloaks of invisibility, nano-robots and now EATR. Sheesh. If industrial civilization doesn’t crash soon, we can expect much more fun stuff coming out of DARPA.

The worst scenario is the one where they crash our institutions yet continue to produce this virulent technology to serve only themselves. With intense depopulation and slave labor for the survivors, a hyper-tech elite might just be able to pull off world domination amid the rubble. Yech.

sunrnr,

Can you tell us a little more about www.halfpasthuman.com

Who does the writing, what is the goal or focus, etc.

Perhaps you can empathize with the volume of reading I try to keep up with? Thanks for the heads up!!

What do you make of this Jenna?

bioterror lawsuit

frankly, if true, this is the most terrifying story I have ever read

Divine hope turns to depredation
Who’ll be left to make that station
Devoid of god and nation (we trust)

P.S Please forward to mike and post on blog if desired (I cannot figure out my name and password I used on there

Thanks

Sorry I haven't been able to follow the blog much lately. Thanks to belt-tightening where I work, I was given enough work for two people, but had to document the numbers and need before the boss would consider bringing on more help. Just can't keep up right now. Am merely skimming articles and hopefully will find the time for a more in-depth look in a few weeks. Hopefully no bombshells have been dropped in the past few weeks.

OrwellianUK:

The article concerning the vaccination lawsuit you mentioned was more horrifying than just about anything I have ever read also. Consider how close we may actually be to having this scenario played out in the near future. How on earth could all the enormous preparations for this have been carried out without anyone trying to put a stop to it or the public finding out? Pair what we learn from this article with the sections in the Patriot Act where Americans must submit to vaccinations if instructed to do so by the government or be arrested and have all their property confiscated. Why on earth would they have put those sections in it if there hadn't been planning for something like this to occur? I was very confused about this section of the PA when it first came out, but the light bulb came on after I read Mike's articles on engineered viruses and noted microbiologists mysteriously dying all over the earth. H1N1 vaccination trials have started in Australia. I feel horrible for those who have volunteered to be guinea pigs. Have you read the feedback to all those alarmist articles in the British press this week? Doesn't seem like too many people in Britain are taken in by it. Americans are so used to their dumbed-down news. Hopefully, we will start asking questions and demand no vaccinations here before the clinical trial period even ends. But then again, if all goes well down under, how do we know they weren't given one strain of flu shot while the potentiated strains will be held back for mass use later? It's all the stuff of nightmares.

Thought internal revenue was taking the lions share. Evidently, they rather tax me senseless than see me carry a few coins around. In the near future, I will buy pocket-less pants. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/n1036.pdf
