We know that the media is reporting sporadically, the governments are using air time to convey the message of cautious concern, the World Health Organization is coordinating with global authorities. We know the condition of the global economy. We know the measures taken by TPTB over the last 8 years to extend control by the governments and militaries of the world. We know that Israel is threatening to attack Iran. We know that N. Korea is shouting for attention. WE know that taxes are increasing and wages are not. We know that unemployment is rising hysterically. We know that politicians are liars and self-serving insects. We know that Mass. Senate just passed a Pandemic Flu Martial Law Bill. www.abovetopsecret.com...
We know that riots have broken out across the globe and Tea Parties have been ignored or downplayed by US Gov. We know that "Fusion Center" reports are focusing on returning vets as potentially likely to be recruited by Extremists. We know that NorthCom has instituted its first ever Military Command on US soil. We know what happened during Hurricane Katrina - gun confiscation, isolation, lack of humane treatment. We know that many things are ocurring and either are exploited to garner more fear or completely downplayed.
The question is why so much confusion and contradiction? For anyone to think that these issues do not add up to a bigger picture, those ones would have to be determined not to see the writing on the wall.
What the agenda amounts to will be seen in time. But, to wait for PROOF of the big picture is irresponsible. I suspect, as do many others, that the global economic crisis is the impetus (crisis) to cause the public of all countries to beg for (reaction) governments to take strong action to make us all safe (solution).
The end of liberty is at hand. The global economy is crashing. Once this fact is widely known and accepted the only possible outcome is rioting, anarchy, chaos. TPTB are well aware of this and have concocted the Pandemic to ensure that citizens are kept from assembling, protesting and effecting significant change in our political structure.
Quarantining vast sections of the planet equals subdued and submissive, fearful reaction from the PEOPLE.
Not only that, Pharma makes a killing (literally) on the anti-flu drugs.
FOllOW the MONEY.

I think a lot of what he wrote is based on smart ruthless people manipulating less intelligent people into doing dumb things.
Whenever I look deeper into the issues they always end up in the same place.
Follow the money indeed. To it's source, to where it springs out of ass of the banking families, and there you will find the smart and ruthless. It is in the interest of the wise (pun not intended) to do so.
Biological warfare is nothing new, they have been catapulting diseased animals and even people into sieged cities since the middle ages, and probably since antiquity. Everything happens for a reason, with reason. Coincidence is just a word we use when we don't understand the causality.

They are not going to enact marshal law until a lot of people have it so how on earth will it be a lie if so many people have it? Listen my friend just got it this morning are you seriously trying to say this flu doesnt exist? I really dont know how you come to this conclusion theres dead people in Mexico. I mean if that doesnt show you its real maybe the video will from the sick wards. Seriously people deny ignorance this is just rediculous.

My friend, the point is that 36,000 people DIED from the flu in the United States last year. Yes, THIRTY SIX THOUSAND. People die from the flu all of the time.
Sure, your friend has it but he will most likely live. There hasn't been one death in the United States from this flu. (Unless you count a sickly Mexican child that brought it with him.)
So, when you look at the numbers and see how much attention THIS flu is getting, you have to start to wonder, "Why all of the hype?"

The handwriting is on the wall. The question remains if all this Flu business is enough for the government to go to the next level of emergency??. I still don't understand the level of concern, unles something more is happening. Still seems like a design for a power grab too me. I'll guess we'll see soon.

Hi there. I'm writing from a hedge fund office on Wall Street. We're doing fine. No economic collapse on the horizon. Sure it was dicey for a bit, but just as it ALWAYS HAS...people panic and over sell, then the cooler minded individuals go in a buy up all the stock that the panickers sold at firesale prices.
We're up more than 20% this month, and there's no reason to believe we won't be up another 8-10% next month. Sure the market may retest lows, but I can say with some certainty that the swine flu was not "created" to attempt to stem a market crash.
I would more likely believe that the Mexican Gov't floated this out there to try and stem the violence between drug cartels in the border region and it got away from them.
Still, I don't really think it was that either.
I think we're dealing with a pretty tame strain of flu that is somewhat efficient at moving from host to host.

The smart money is still sitting on the sidelines. The only people trading are those who want gamble on making a quick buck before SHTF. I pulled out in Oct. 2007.
Congrats on having a hedge fund job. There isnt much leveraging going on now is there? I personally blame hedge funds for the problem we are in.
I'm surprised a person of your stature doesnt understand the difference of a bear market rally and the next step to the Great Depression. Have you seen the Correlating charts. We also have never seen this sort of volatility in history. We haven’t seen blood on the streets yet.
This is the calm before the storm. Look at Vanguard, for instance. Who would have thought it would break a buck. Everyone fled to treasuries. I for one went a different route.
No insult intended but we cant take financial advice from anyone in the hedge fund business.
Look at Warren Buffett. His cool minded buying was a huge mistake. I saw it before he did and I'm not a pro.
