WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency.

The White House on Saturday said Obama signed a proclamation that would allow medical officials to bypass certain federal requirements. Officials described the move as similar to a declaration ahead of a hurricane making landfall.

Swine flu is more widespread now than it's ever been and has resulted in more than 1,000 U.S. deaths so far.

Health authorities say almost 100 children have died from the flu, known as H1N1, and 46 states now have widespread flu activity.

The White House said Obama signed the declaration on Friday evening.

Cerberus Sets Its Sights on IPO for a Gun Maker
* OCTOBER 21, 2009


MI-AZ387_CERBER_G_20091019155112.jpg

Built through a string of Cerberus acqusitions, Freedom Group is one of the largest gun makers. Here, a student in Kansas tests a Bushmaster rifle in 2008; Cerberus bought Bushmaster Firearms in April 2006.


After bad bets on cars and home loans, Cerberus Capital Management is turning to guns and bullets.
The private-equity firm is in advanced preparations for an initial public offering of Freedom Group Inc., said people familiar with the situation, hoping to sell shares in a little-known company it has built into a dominant player in the red-hot rifle-and-ammunition business.
Over a three-year span, Cerberus -- while under the spotlight for ill-fated acquisitions of auto maker Chrysler LLC and lender GMAC LLC -- has acquired at least seven U.S. gun-and-ammunition makers.
Those companies have been consolidated into a Madison, N.C.-based company called Freedom Group Inc. It is on track to generate about $900 million in sales this year, according to a person familiar with the results. That makes Freedom one of the world's largest manufacturers of firearms and ammunition.

Some of you need to relax and re-read the article. It doesn't say anywhere that you will be forced to take the H1N1 flu vaccine. Nobody is even forced to take the regular flu vaccine which kills more people every year than H1N1 has. The difference is that this country already has herd immunity to regular flu for the most part, and there is no herd immunity to H1N1.

On a side note, the H1N1 vaccine is prepared in the same way as the regular flu vaccine. They take strains of the predominant viruses out there, kill them, and make a vaccine. So those who are interested should get 2 shots instead of 1 shot this year (but H1N1 is not available as a shot yet)

Look at this too:


The Dept. of Defense was created by the National Security Act of 1947 by combining the Depts. of War and Navy and was called the National Military Establishment; it became the Dept. of Defense when the act was amended (1949)


Dept of Defense = Dept of War + Navy

doublethink is: “ The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them....To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies — all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth

How to be a swine flu vaccine zealot (satire)

Wednesday, October 21, 2009 by: Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor


(NaturalNews) Swine flu vaccine zealots are like zombies... they just keep coming at you, mindless... heartless... empty-headed and a tad funky on the smell, too. But I've noticed from observing the behavior of a few such zealots that not all of them fully comprehend precisely how to act like a mindless vaccine zealot. There's more to it than just parroting whatever the FDA says. You actually have to get with the zealot program if you want to be taken seriously as a swine flu vaccine zealot.

So I've put together this handy guide to help them along:

Step 1) Loudly proclaim your vaccines are backed by "science," but when critics ask you to produce that science, just tell them you don't have to because "everybody knows they work." (Then grunt and paw at the air from time to time for effect...)

Step 2) Practice scoffing. Scoffing is an important skill for swine flu vaccine zealots. When someone asks an intelligent question like, "Where are the placebo-controlled studies that show flu vaccines work at all?" simply scoff at them. This avoids having to answer the question because, as you know, there are no such studies.

Step 3) Practice making people feel guilty for not getting the flu shot. Blame them for pandemic. Just ignore the fact that the shot itself has zero ability to actually prevent the spread of influenza and focus on what works: Guilt!

Step 4) Spread more fear! Guilt and fear go together like peanut butter and jelly on processed white bread -- a favorite zombie food! In combination, they work like gangbusters if you're trying to scare up some vaccine sales to generate billions of dollars in profits for the drug companies. In the absence of any actual science, just invoke fear! (Hey, it worked for the Patriot Act, too...)

Step 5) Remind people that they are not doctors and therefore don't know anything. Then quote some doctor who's pro-vaccine (and probably taking kickbacks from some pharmaceutical company that's been caught committing a felony crime) and declare that no one can question them because they're a doctor. Doctors are God, didn't you know? Just ask all the victims of thalidomide... or Vioxx.

Step 6) Strip off the plastic coating on both ends of an extension cord, exposing the wires. Attach the two wires on one end to the temples of your skull, then attach the two exposed wires on the other end to the exposed slots of a live electrical outlet in your home. You are now "WIRED." (Want a free subscription?) This process will destroy any critical thinking regions of your cerebrum, disabling the annoying ability to think for yourself (which can interfere with what the vaccine industry wants you to think instead). Once achieved, you're half-way qualified to being a vaccine zealot, unhindered by critical thinking skills!

(Don't forget to grunt, moan and leave your mouth draping open from time to time, or the whole effect will be ruined...)

Step 7) Defend mercury as safe. It's not that bad, really. What's a little mercury in your shot anyway? Ignore these inconvenient facts: A typical flu vaccine shot solution is 50,000 parts per billion of mercury. The EPA classifies any substance with more than 200 parts per billion as hazardous waste. (The EPA limit in drinking water is 2 parts per billion.) Thus, the mercury density in a vaccine is 25,000% higher than the level required to be considered hazardous waste. This is injected directly into the bloodstream of infants, children, expectant mothers and senior citizens. What could possibly be dangerous about that?

there's money in chaos.
:yes: Absolutely. That's why I tell people, if you've been getting the flu shot all these years, then get the H1N1 shot. If you have never gotten a flu shot before, then don't get either this year. You are at the same risk as you were this time last year :dunno: Really no need for all the hoopla, but the media blows things out of proportion all the time...

The media needs to keep ramping up the fear so I can profit.

Next year it will be mixed in with the normal mix of 3 flu vaccines we get. Then there won't even be a discussion about it.

The ones they use in hospitals dont help?


Bro, the cheapest one will sell.

It's like the $1 bottle of water or the $1 support the troops sticker.

It's not the best that always sells the most but the most convenient.

Followup, you know people are not going to let information get in the way of a good conspiracy theory. Dudes read the headlines, made sure it was from someplace they recognized, then proceeded to proclaim country and world at an end - less than 5% read the whole article.

We're on about the 25th, new world order, illuminati, government take over the world, extermination of people plot in the last 5 years and those muffukas haven't made it work yet. The illuminati needs some better planning.

Dudes will run around screaming the sky is falling for about a month and in three months' time will still be right here on BGOL cracking jokes on Destrehan, :dance::dance::dance: 'ing to pics of fat broads greased up, and still
