* Mexican government announces fatal swine flu outbreak * WHO says Mexico cases same as an outbreak in California * New mixture of viruses never seen before (Recasts, adds WHO linking Mexican, U.S. cases) MEXICO CITY, April 24 (Reuters) - A deadly strain of swine flu never seen before has killed as many as 61 people in Mexico and has spread into the United States, where several people were reported ill. Mexico's government said on Friday that at least 16 people have died of the disease in central Mexico and that it may also have been responsible for 45 other deaths. The World Health Organization said the virus that killed at least 12 of the victims in Mexico had the same genetic structure as an outbreak discovered in California. [nLO274836] With the swine flu being passed between people, raising fears of a major outbreak in North America, Mexico's government canceled classes for millions of children in its sprawling capital city and surrounding areas. "It is a virus that mutated from pigs and then at some point was transmitted to humans," Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova said. It first looked mostly like a swine virus but closer analysis showed it is a never-before-seen mixture of swine, human and avian viruses. [nN24420522] Humans can occasionally catch swine flu from pigs but rarely have they been known to pass it on to other people. CLOSE TO 1,000 SUSPECTED CASES IN MEXICO Seven people have been made ill by the new strain in California and Texas, but all of them have recovered. Mexico said it had close to 1,000 suspected cases there. Worldwide, seasonal flu kills between 250,000 and 500,000 people in an average year. The White House was closely following the new cases in the United States and Mexico, and President Barack Obama has been informed, an administration official said. The Mexican government warned people not to shake hands or kiss when greeting or share food, glasses or cutlery for fear of contracting the flu. Mexico City, one of the world's biggest cities and home to some 20 million people, was quieter than usual on Friday morning. Normally choking traffic was less chaotic in the absence of school buses and parents driving kids to school. Many people waiting to enter subway stations had their faces covered with surgical masks. The virus is an influenza A virus, carrying the designation H1N1. It contains DNA typical to avian, swine and human viruses, including elements from European and Asian swine viruses, the CDC has said. [nN23355101] The Geneva-based U.N. agency WHO said it was in daily contact with U.S., Canadian and Mexican authorities and had activated its Strategic Health Operations Center (SHOC) -- its command and control center for acute public health events. Surveillance for and scrutiny of influenza has been stepped up since 2003, when H5N1 bird flu reappeared in Asia. Experts fear this strain, or another strain, could spark a pandemic that could kill millions. The CDC said it will issue daily updates at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/swine/investigation.htm.

Poster Comment: I have heard speculation that this is a designer virus. It might be a natural adaptation of the virus. But if it spreads it will make Amnesty for Illegal Aliens unpopular for awhile. People might even demand border security.

www.drudgereport.com/ OUTBREAK Travelers warned of mysterious respiratory illness... Mexico City launches huge vaccination campaign... 7 hit by strange new swine flu in USA... Heighten Risk of Pandemic... Mutated from pigs, transmitted to humans...
remember who works in every kitchen in every restaurant chain the usa and that they cross the border or have contact with illegals frequently; remember what they do in the bathroom on duty and what they don't do before touching your food again.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition I try not to think about this.
Hmmm, wonder how that happened?
Oct 14 2005 1918 Flu Epidemic CAUSED BY VACCINES www.ymlp.com/pubarchive_show_message.php?jham+423 PREFACE NOTE: This is one of the biggest health conspiracies -- NOT theory -- that has been well documented by Dr. Len Horwitz (www.tetrahedron.org) and many other health reality-rights activists. For God's sake, and for those who aren't brain-dead, how long does it take the mainstream masses to wake up to the virtual plot out of hell of the Rockefeller-dominated medical-industrial complex that profits from the creation of disease with vaccines and the treatment with toxic genetic drugs that insure more side-effects for the compounding of more disease and more treatment. DUH! This is an old plot for anyone who REALLY knows the history of the REAL drug pushers who like the REAL terrorists are *making a killing* on profits-before-people insanity. It isn't just wrong, it's CRIMINAL. Every read "Death By Injection" by Eustice Mullins, protege' of Ezra Pound, who wrote the definitive expose' on the Federal Reserve? You'd get the truth in spades on vaccines even though such books are ignored if not condemned by the monopoly press and similar sycophants of the corporate/government fascists who collude on profits of the medical-industrial complex. How many people know that John D. Rockefeller channeled his huge profits from petrochemical monopolies -- early in the 20th Century -- into tax write-off investment into 1,100 "non-profit" medical schools that have cranked out drug-pushers for whatever ails you... while "financing" legislation that made "drug-per-symptom" the "community standard allopathic monopoly" that has prevailed at the expense of "natural healing" techniques almost a hundred years since then? That monopoly is so powerful it is the last major industry to remain protected by government rather than deregulated with competitive free-market checks and balances. These corporate-AMA and government-FDA monopolists have demonized natural-holistic healing as quackery for all these years. Vaccines are the "sacrament" of these sick drug pushers who see themselves as the high priests of medicine. I am a close friend of one brilliant Osteopathic doctor who actually survived an assassination attempt for going public with her warning of vaccines, and specifically her insider contacts at the CDC which told her unabashedly how the flu warnings in the media get people to take vaccines which are designed to bring sick people to doctor offices within the long term if not the short. It's time this story got out. Note the following article's connection of vaccines to the pandemic of disease following the injection of troops during World War I. Then think "Gulf War" disease following the cocktail of toxic injections administered to troops. If war is a Satanic rite for killing of our youth, vaccines are the sacrament in that rite that aids the process. If you don't know that AIDS was created and deployed out of American bio-warfare labs via injection of Hepatis B vaccines into black and homosexual communities -- you just haven't paid attention to many articles on the Net that reference best-sellers documenting that FACT in detail. AIDS, EBOLA and EMERGING VIRUSES by Dr. Len Horowitz is one of the definitive works on the subject. There are many others. Horowitz explains in that book and "DEATH IN THE AIR - Globalism, Terrorism and Toxic Warfare", how the same Rockefeller and Bush families that sponsored Hitler's military-industrial complex merged their petrochemical and drug industries with those of the German cartel of like interests that brought Hitler to power... and brought half of Hitler's flight capital (gold) to the U.S into Merck Pharmaceutical for rise of the 4th Reich here. Consider that 50,000 retroviruses from Hitler's researchers were brought into U.S. biowarfare labs via Project PaperClip after WWII. Many of those cancer retroviruses were seeded into the polio vaccines we all got as kids, seeding the pandemic of cancer like a biological time-bomb that finds 2of 3 people getting cancer today. Cancer was as rarity before vaccines. Now it's BIG business. Find a cure and risk being "suicided". But this is all "too terribly true" for most people to believe. The big lie of "vaccine importance" is so big and so bold and so often told by the REAL sickos that people believe it. The prostitute press wouldn't lie to us would it? If I'm a little cynical, realize my experience having a holistic clinic shut down for healing incurables with natural remedies and holistic therapies. I'm glad this is finally coming out. Many holistic practitioners like myself have been up against this mainstream madness with vaccines for years. People won't believe it because they believe in drugs and their doctors more. The believe in the media cover-ups and smears of holistic remedies. They believe that our government would never condone something like this. They believe the lies as truth and that the truth-tellers are liars. So much "BS" (Belief System) and so little COMMON SENSE. So connect the dots folks. This insanity won't change until people know better and do better. The best you can do is all you can do. So at least network this message to those you love. It may save their life.
