US company makes first batch of swine flu vaccine
A US company that on Tuesday was awarded a 35-million-dollar contract to develop an influenza vaccine using insect cell technology has produced a first batch against (A)H1N1 flu, company boss Dan Adams said.
"We turned out our first batch of doses -- about 100,000 -- against (A)H1N1 flu last week and we're continuing to manufacture it," Adams, chief executive officer of Connecticut-based Protein Sciences Corporation, told AFP.
German authorities warn of mutation risk
BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's federal agency for infectious diseases said on Tuesday there were signs the H1N1 swine flu virus had started to mutate and warned it could spread in the coming months in a more aggressive form.
Experts were concerned about how the flu was developing in Australia and South America, said Joerg Hacker, head of the Robert Koch Institute for infectious diseases.
"It's possible the virus has mutated. In autumn the mutated form could spread to the northern hemisphere and back to Germany," Hacker told a news conference in Berlin.
Hybrid flu tied to genetic trigger for larger, mutated version
WMR previously reported on the genetic manipulation of the 1918 flu from tissue extracted from an Inuit woman who died from the pandemic in Alaska. On May 6, WMR reported: “WMR has obtained information from biological researchers that the 1918 Spanish flu genetic sequences were ‘manipulated’ in order to effect transmission capability.
The current H1N1 virus, called ‘swine flu,’ is reportedly a combination of two forms of human flu, two forms of swine flu (North American and Eurasian), and avian or bird flu . . . Two bio-safety laboratories have been associated with the genetic reverse engineering of not only A-H1N1, the current ‘swine flu’ strain, but also the deadly Ebola virus. They are the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, Canada.”
WMR has now learned from virus researchers that the current A-H1N1 strain strongly appears tied to vaccinations for the seasonal form on influenza. The hybrid flu began in countries where seasonal vaccinations are commonplace and where A-H1N1 did not respond to the normal seasonal flu vaccination antibody, according to researchers studying the new virus.
Forced to confess
A British man spoke publicly for the first time yesterday to accuse MI5 officers of forcing him to confess to masterminding the July 7 bombings.
Jamil Rahman claims UK security officers were behind his arrest in 2005 in Bangladesh.
He says he was beaten repeatedly by local officials who also threatened to rape him and his wife.
Mr Rahman, who is suing the Home Office, said a pair of MI5 officers who attended his torture and interrogation would leave the room while he was beaten.

Sanford emails turned over to newspaper back in December
OK the NSA spying and leaking to a paper I get, but what's up with the timing? - Ed.
What consenting adults do with their peepees is their business, but as this absurd spectacle unfolded yesterday, I didn’t see anyone asking: “How did a newspaper get these emails?”
There is no doubt that NSA would have intercepted these emails. First of all, they’re international communications. That’s just a no brainer. However, the fact that they involved a U.S. Governor and a foreign citizen probably means that the stuff was going into a database forever.
House passes $44B DHS spending bill
Associated Press Writer= WASHINGTON (AP) ” The House passed a $44 billion spending bill Wednesday that awards the Homeland Security Department a 7 percent budget increase, with money for more border patrol agents and for anti-piracy efforts off the coast of Somalia.
As part of a GOP campaign against President Barack Obama's order to close the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the bill requires the department to conduct threat assessments for the terrorist suspects being held there. It also requires that the department ensure that detainees are placed on its "no-fly" list and denied an array of immigration benefits, including admission into the United States and refugee status.

Sickening Hypocrisy: The CIA's dirty war in Iran
Having won the presidential election by a landslide, Ahmadinejad and his backers within the Iranian regime should be basking in the glory of an overwhelming mandate from the Iranian people. Instead they face unrelenting pressure from within and without as they confront their deadliest crisis yet. The US and British media is presently falling over itself to broadcast images of an Iranian protestor shot dead in broad daylight, while repeatedly decrying "election fraud" in Iran.
Here's the BBC's coverage of the event. Note the well-placed image and caption (as appears in original article) of "graves." The implication is left unsaid, but the suggestion is tantalising bait for readers by now emotionally charged from accounts of the martyred symbol of Iranian Freedom™: the Iranian regime is quietly burying evidence of its crimes in 'mass graves'...

An inconvenient witness: Sonnenfeld on WTC6
by Christopher Bollyn
Kurt Sonnenfeld, the FEMA videographer who, for 29 days after 9-11, filmed the crime scene at the World Trade Center, including the sub-basement levels of WTC 6, was recently inteviewed by the Voltaire Network. His comments from June 22 about WTC 7 and WTC 6 and how inconvenient witnesses like himself have been silenced are extremely important to understand how so many people who know or saw something have been effectively silenced in a nation that claims to promote honesty and free speech.
Among other things at the WTC, Sonnenfeld saw that the huge vault beneath WTC 6 had been emptied, most likely during the previous night. This information is essential to understand the crater that was found in the U.S. Customs House (WTC 6) during the demolition of the South Tower. It appears to have been a tremendous blast that originated in the sublevel vault of WTC 6. Why? Probably to hide the fact that the vault had been cleaned out the night before.

DOJ: AIPAC case witness was asked to 'fake... suicide'
Two people asked a Pentagon official cooperating with prosecutors in an investigation into the American Israel Public Affairs Committee to fake his own death to avoid testifying against two pro-Israel lobbyists charged in the case, according to the Justice Department.
Pentagon analyst Lawrence Franklin pled guilty in October 2005 to participating in a conspiracy with AIPAC officials Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman to obtain and distribute classified information. The Justice Department dropped the case against Rosen and Weissman last month as a trial approached.
"Just prior to the entry of his guilty plea, Franklin was approached by two individuals who made a pitch to Franklin about faking his death by suicide and disappearing, thus thwarting any cooperation in the case against Rosen and Weissman," prosecutors wrote in a brief filed in connection with a motion to reduce the 12-year prison term Franklin was originally sentenced to.

Whistleblowers, disappearances, etc.
Apologies for the extensive excerpt from Urban Survival:
How's our rickety time machine working? Well, gosh darn it anyways, here we go again with those predictive linguistics hitting on another major archetype event in the mediastream with the disappearance of South Carolina's governor. First a little background about what we've been looking for in the data.
In the predictive linguistics out of www.halfpasthuman.com, [link to HPH and this site required if this is quoted elsewhere on the net] we have been waiting since the January 31 ALTA 1109 report for a summer filled with 'disappearance kinds of headlines to start making itself known. With exclusive permission to quote from the report, you'll see that while we hit on the disappearances theme, as usual the way things look in modelspace and the way they turn out in the headlines is somewhat different. Nevertheless, remember this is from late January:
"...we should get the first reports of the phenomena that we have labeled the [disappearances]. These will likely be focused on [mid level minions] of ThePowersThatBe, and also will very likely be reported as though the 'cause' of the [disappearance] is both [known] and [evident] in spite of neither being accurate. The inaccuracy of the [disappearance reports] will be a consistent sub thread within the overarching pattern that will emerge over all of 2009. That the other, linked components of the cluster of temporal markers are emerging now suggests that the [disappearance] meme will begin to emerge within the next 2/two months, though as noted, likely as a series of reports of [murders] and [suicides], within the [middle level, and upper level minion class] of TPTB. There are still accruing values in support of at least 1/one instance of a [very rich person] going [missing] with their entire [crew of bodyguards/entourage]. This incident is not indicated until later in the year, perhaps mid [summer], and will follow a series of [disappearances] which will prompt the [increased visibility of groups of bodyguards] around these [key minions] and TPTB members. Several of these incidents of [disappearances] are forecast to involve [yachts] of some size, and in an early report, a case of the [disappearance] of the people, leaving behind the [boat] will be brought forward. This incident has a lower level of [visibility] at the time it occurs, but the [visibility] grows along during the year with the likelihood of it being brought out into the global mediastream near the Fall equinox, though the indicators are that the actual occurrence will take place near the Spring equinox."
Even earlier, in the opening days of January in the data analysis, there was reference to the 'disappearing' meme:
"The sub set for the [minion class] within ThePowersThatBe entity shows a large growth in the [fear] component supporting sets. The bespoke [fear] language is under the influence of the [duality] meta data layer and is expressing this as the [minion class] is indicated to become [greatly/increasingly] in states of [visible fear] from their [masters/TPTB] as well as increasingly [afraid] of the [populace] in general. These [minions] are indicated to be [reacting] to the [increased pressures] from TPTB which are apparently being [demonstrated] in the [deaths/disappearances] of many [prominent minions]. We note with some irony that this [fear] level within the [servant/minion classes] will be [propelled skyward] over 2009 in large part by the [sudden disappearances] of [highly visible minions] and some of the lower level [ThePowersThatBe] individuals. The irony is that our SpaceGoatFarts entity is indicating that at least some of these [disappearances] will *not* be at the hands of TPTB, and will instead be caused by [unknown/unknowable forces]. The SpaceGoatFarts entity forecast of the [harvest] of [prominent peoples] {ed note: sometimes with both their cadres of bodyguards *and* locations, such as mega yachts} via [inter or trans dimensional forces unknown to humans generally] is now showing, by way of cross links over to TPTB entity, to [greatly accelerate] the [fear state/level/quotient] of the [minion class] to the point that the [disappearances] will [contribute] to the [pressures to speak] that is forecast to bring out a wave of [whistleblowers] from all levels of the [minion classes]. Of course, TPTB 'removing' troublesome [minions] in [visible] ways will provide the base for the bespoke [fear] levels, however the data sets suggest that a very significant, and unplanned [increase] in the [fear] will be the result of the [disappearances] which are not orchestrated by TPTB."
And, since the February 7th publication of ALTA 1109 Part V, we've been eyeing this odd conglomeration of data points in modelspace {disappearances} as something that will come along in late spring and into early summer as something which will be coming around again in the fall:
"Further cross links appearing in the data sets accruing in late Fall are going back to the [disappearances] sub set within the ThePowersThatBe entity with specific points of termination pointing to emergent echoes from late Spring and early Summer. In other words, the events of Spring/Summer of 2009 relative to the [disappearances] meme will repeat in a manifestation of a larger, related meme in late Fall and early Winter of 2009."
Since this early 'taste' of what the archetype impacts would be, there has been some further insight along the way including this from the ALTA 1309 report which came out on March 14th of this year:
"The data sets continue to grow for [disappearances], with an increasing frequency of [reporting] of such over Summer from mid May onward. A number of the [disappearances], are also indicated to be [occurring] in Summer, but will not surface in the [press] or [reports] elsewhere until the [breakout] or [separation] of the [government employees] in November and December of this year. This period in modelspace shows an increase in [whistleblowers] in very late Fall as a temporal echo to the late Summer [whistleblowers] meme."
9/11 FEMA videographer whistleblower
As official videographer for the U.S. government, Kurt Sonnenfeld was detailed to Ground Zero on September 11, 2001, where he spent one month filming 29 tapes: "What I saw at certain moments and in certain places ... is very disturbing!" He never handed them over to the authorities and has been persecuted ever since. Kurt Sonnenfeld lives in exile in Argentina, where he wrote « El Perseguido » (the persecuted). His recently-published book tells the story of his unending nightmare and drives another nail into the coffin of the government’s account of the 9/11 events. Below is an exclusive interview by The Voltaire Network.

Congress throwing lotsa money at pandemic flu response
Robert Roos 
News Editor
Jun 22, 2009 (CIDRAP News) – Responding to lobbying by the Obama administration and public health advocates, Congress last week approved $7.65 billion for battling pandemic influenza, more than three times what the House and Senate had earlier proposed.
The money was included in a $106 billion supplemental appropriation bill dedicated mostly to funding the military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Senate passed the bill Jun 18, following House passage 2 days earlier.
Most of the pandemic money is for activities by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), but the bill includes $350 million to boost state and local capacity for responding to the novel H1N1 flu pandemic.
According to a House Appropriations Committee summary of the legislation, it provides $1.5 billion in fiscal year 2009 money and $5.8 billion in "contingent emergency appropriations" for HHS and the CDC.

UN = One (World Government)
The number may change, but the meaning of the saying stays basically the same:
A million people can’t be wrong!
Oh, if only that were true. What a different world we would all be living in.
The million will never admit (until they wake up to realise they are living in a dreamworld) that they have got it wrong because they SIMPLY CAN’T STRETCH THE MIND TO BELIEVE that this world is anything but logical and rational. And it’s a world so explainable, they think, with its logical and rational scientific propaganda.
Empathy and sympathy are two very different things. While I have empathy in abundance, I don’t sympathise with anybody about anything. Sympathy is one of a selection of words which have erased themselves from my mental dictionary (along with ‘regret’, ‘luck’, and ‘deserve’), but I perfectly understand why the million think the West is best. I can empathise with that as I too suffered from Standard World View until recently, though my symptons were mild in comparison to most people’s.
Yesterday I found myself talking to a Canadian lady who has quite an adventurous spirit. She’s in Spain on her own and is putting lots of time and effort into learning Spanish. Nice one!
As above, so below
One of the Jews' favorite passages in the Old Testament is Jeremiah 30:11
"For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished."
In the New American Standard Bible version, this passage is translated as:
"'For I am with you,' declares the LORD, 'to save you; For I will destroy completely all the nations where I have scattered you, Only I will not destroy you completely But I will chasten you justly And will by no means leave you unpunished.'."
The Jewish god, the Devil, clearly states in the Old Testament that he is going to kill off the human race and leave only Jews alive. This is precisely how the Jews interpret this passage.
Man destroys his house - 'I have nothing to lose.'
This is Iceland today.
A man in Alftanes, a suburb of Reykjavik destroyed a house he and his family lived in until his bank repossessed it after the economic collapse.
The man in his fifties said he’d lost everything. He also buried his car in the back garden and left before police arrested him for property damages.
His home loans were in a foreign currency and he tried negotiating with his bank to no avail. The man said he didn’t care if he owed 60 or 120 million ISK, “I have lost everything”.

Goldman Sachs to make record bonus payments
Staff at Goldman Sachs staff can look forward to the biggest bonus payouts in the firm's 140-year history after a spectacular first half of the year, sparking concern that the big investment banks which survived the credit crunch will derail financial regulation reforms.
A lack of competition and a surge in revenues from trading foreign currency, bonds and fixed-income products has sent profits at Goldman Sachs soaring, according to insiders at the firm.
Down the cosmic toilet hole into the fires of hell
The Rant King. - Ed.
No… they are not going to let it go and I’m not going to waste my time making links for piss poor propaganda junkies who really think the world is as stupid as they are; most of the time they are right. However, most of the time, most of the world is not as foul, low down, double dealing ugly like them either.
I go away for twenty four hours to a solstice celebration with actual humans who can cook and make music… eat and dance the night away around an enormous bonfire to celebrate the point of the fact that there are people who can do these kinds of things and have the capacity to honor, love and regard each other as equals in the freedom of their spirit and I return to a computer monitor that shows me the work of some collection of tireless liars, frothing at the mouth for the blood of others; making shit up as they go along, doing shit and then blaming it on the people they want to invade; conquer, rob, rape and… I stand in awe of the capacity of the world to put up with and believe in it.
Winter Patriot: Home Improvement post 9/11: Jackhammers? Who needs 'em?
My wife and I had a problem with the "steps" outside our "back door", if you don't mind what you say.
We call it the "back door", but it's at the side of the house, near the back corner. And we called them "steps" but they were actually concrete slabs, stacked and broken.
They were never properly grounded; they had shifted over the years and they were tilted in, toward the house. So water collected there, and the steps were always wet and moldy, except when they were icy, and we'd been hoping they would fix themselves, but that didn't happen, so we decided to do something about them.
At first we thought if we poured a cement cap over them and slanted it away from the house, that would do the trick, but then we had a home building specialist come and look at them and he could see that they were still moving. He told us pouring more concrete over the problem would only make it worse. And it was hard to argue with that.
But I did argue when he said the best thing we could do would be to rent a dumpster, score the concrete with a diamond-tipped saw, bust it up with a jackhammer, and haul it to the dumpster one piece at a time in a wheelbarrow.
"You could do it in a weekend," he said, "but you'd be sore by the time you were done!"
I couldn't believe it! That is so September 10th thinking! It was as if he had never seen the World Trade Center collapse.
I said, "Why don't we just crash an airplane into them?"
He laughed and said "That would be dangerous. What about the neighbors?"

FTC planning to regulate blogs
You won't even find a tip jar here. This is free. Free means free. - Ed.
What has happened is that bloggers have blown the support columns out from underneath traditional media and the people who run the show don’t like that.
The fact that some of us are able to survive by maintaining blogs must have come as an incredible shock to fat bastards in boardrooms across the land. That we are not “regulated” is unthinkable in the Soviet hive mind that governs the political economy of the United States.

Spending, debt and collapse predicts hyperinflation
Public Private Investment Partnerships sell off toxic waste, hyperinflation clearly in our future, gold and silver must eventually skyrocket, bailouts behind everyones backs, since central banks control the money flow, they are responsible, the king of stagflation
As Emperor Obama (Romulus the Usurper) fires GM's CEO, steals money from Chrysler's bondholders, puts together Public-Private Investment Partnerships (PPIP's) that will privatize gains and socialize losses in an attempt to stabilize derivative prices by having banks buy their toxic waste from one another in the usual "smoke and mirror" tradition of Wall Street, and creates what currently is an annualized 1.8 trillion dollar federal budget deficit that will grow exponentially over time to finance zombie banker bailouts, to fascistically nationalize the financial, insurance and auto manufacturing industries, and to provide inane, flash-in-the-pan, socialistic spending programs (euphemistically called "stimulus packages" that will do little or nothing to stimulate production or to create permanent jobs), while simultaneously supporting the Fed's actions, which amount to little more than using chewing gum and bailing wire to keep the money and credit markets from collapsing as it creates and distributes, in arrogant, secretive, crony-capitalist fashion, a gargantuan pile of counterfeit monopoly money in an amount on par with total US GDP for an entire year, you can just sense and feel that there is now a runaway, hyperinflationary freight train rumbling down the tracks at ever greater speed that is soon going to derail and create a train wreck out of our economy.
