Swine Flu "Fear" Coming Fast and Furious

Cops jump on swine-flu power: Shots heard 'round the world
(Chelsea Schilling, 9/1/09 World Net Daily)

"A "pandemic response bill" currently making its way through the Massachusetts state legislature would allow authorities to forcefully quarantine citizens in the event of a health emergency, compel health providers to vaccinate citizens, authorize forceful entry into private dwellings and destruction of citizen property and impose fines on citizens for noncompliance.

"If citizens refuse to comply with isolation or quarantine orders in the event of a health emergency, they may be imprisoned for up to 30 days and fined $1,000 per day that the violation continues."

The bill is called "Pandemic Response Bill" 2028 . The article lists some of the sections in the bill, and they are downright frightening. Not the supposed danger of the swine flu itself but extremely militaristic response procedure of the state [the bullet points are copied from the article]:

• to require the owner or occupier of premises to permit entry into and investigation of the premises;


• to close, direct, and compel the evacuation of, or to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated any building or facility, and to allow the reopening of the building or facility when the danger has ended;


• to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated, or to destroy any material;


• to restrict or prohibit assemblages of persons;


• to require a health care facility to provide services or the use of its facility, or to transfer the management and supervision of the health care facility to the department or to a local public health authority;


• to control ingress to and egress from any stricken or threatened public area, and the movement of persons and materials within the area;


• to adopt and enforce measures to provide for the safe disposal of infectious waste and human remains, provided that religious, cultural, family, and individual beliefs of the deceased person shall be followed to the extent possible when disposing of human remains, whenever that may be done without endangering the public health;


• to procure, take immediate possession from any source, store, or distribute any anti-toxins, serums, vaccines, immunizing agents, antibiotics, and other pharmaceutical agents or medical supplies located within the commonwealth as may be necessary to respond to the emergency;


• to require in-state health care providers to assist in the performance of vaccination, treatment, examination, or testing of any individual as a condition of licensure, authorization, or the ability to continue to function as a health care provider in the commonwealth;


• to waive the commonwealth's licensing requirements for health care professionals with a valid license from another state in the United States or whose professional training would otherwise qualify them for an appropriate professional license in the commonwealth;


• to allow for the dispensing of controlled substance by appropriate personnel consistent with federal statutes as necessary for the prevention or treatment of illness;


• to authorize the chief medical examiner to appoint and prescribe the duties of such emergency assistant medical examiners as may be required for the proper performance of the duties of office;


• to collect specimens and perform tests on any animal, living or deceased;


• to exercise authority under sections 95 and 96 of chapter 111;


• to care for any emerging mental health or crisis counseling needs that individuals may exhibit, with the consent of the individuals

"State and local agencies responding to the public health emergency would be required to exercise their powers over transportation routes, communication devices, carriers, public utilities, fuels, food, clothing and shelter, according to the legislation.

"Local public health authorities will be required to keep records of reports containing the name and location of all people who have been reported, their disease, injury, or health condition and the name of the person reporting the case. In addition, citizens may be subject to "involuntary transportation." "

And it is not just Massachusetts, in case you are wondering.

Zero Hedge has an article "CDC H1N1 forced quarantine docs leak", in which they show a blank 'forced quarantine' order forms from Florida and Iowa which they obtained from the CDC (Center for Disease Control) website. The Zero Hedge article also reminds us that "the NIH and CDC just held an H1N1 conference in DC -- August 19-21 2009 -- that focused on 'mass fatality management'". The Massachusetts state plan seems to closely follow the CDC guidelines presented at the conference.

My questions are:

• Why does the government need quasi-military authority and command structure to address what is basically a health care problem?


• What the hell is the government, federal and state, planning for? Riots and ensuing Martial Law?

Zero Hedge's take is:

"we are expecting a flock of economic black swans soon, and a pandemic -- whether real or hyped -- may be part of this flock. An economic collapse will be no doubt be triggered soon , and it will be convenient for the political elites to blame the collapse on an external factor, such as a pandemic or a war. Furthermore, the fall H1N1 pandemic may be a convenient pretext by which dangerous levels of expanding social control can be established by elites which have proven themselves utterly corrupt and morally bankrupt."

There is another take, I think: That the nation's health care system has been hollowed out and become so inefficient and ineffective because of excessive government intervention, not lack thereof. So, in case of emergency the only system left for the government to use that is still effective (in comparison) is police and military.

CDC sells swine flu virus as cute little fuzzy thing (see the picture) while discussing forced quarantine and forced vaccination. The Department of Health and Human Services is holding a youtube contest of swine flu ads with the prize money of $2500.

Vaccines, whether it's a Baxter one or Novartis one, don't look safe at all. Severe neurological damage and auto-immune diseases (MS, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, etc.) are among those feared by health care specialists. Tamiflu is known to have rather nasty side effect problems especially among young people. Not just physical but psychological. Japan has reported cases of adolescents jumping off a tall building or throwing themselves in front of speeding vehicles to their deaths after taking the drug for their flu/cold symptoms and becoming delusional and/or depressed.

CDC is giving out $40 gift card to young children who bravely volunteer for vaccine testing. And the government is planning for a social disturbance that will require police and military.

Things quite don't add up, do they?
