Professor Collignon: Vaccines May Have Increased Swine Flu Risk!

  • Do you believe in the fraud that is the swine flu vaccine? It is all about the money. You don’t need the flu vaccine. Try sunshine, Vitamin D!
      
    Vaccines may have increased swine flu risk (empasis mine)
    By Annie Guest
    There is renewed controversy surrounding influenza vaccines, with some studies showing people immunised against the seasonal flu might have been at greater risk during the swine flu outbreak.
     
    Infectious diseases expert Professor Peter Collignon has called for a review of Australia’s flu vaccine policy in light of the new research, but the Federal Government has defended its vaccination program. Immunisation can be a sensitive issue, particularly when it comes to adverse effects in children.
     
    Professor Collignon from the Australian National University (ANU) says the new research will only heighten sensitivities. “What was a bit surprising when we looked at some of the data from Canada and Hong Kong in the last year is that people who have been vaccinated in 2008 with the seasonal or ordinary vaccine seemed to have twice the risk of getting swine flu compared to the people who hadn’t received that vaccine,” he said.
     
    ANU microbiologists say it is the opposite of what vaccines should do. Professor Collignon says the findings of the study also highlight the benefits for healthy people who are exposed to some illnesses.
     
    “Some interesting data has become available which suggests that if you get immunised with the seasonal vaccine, you get less broad protection than if you get a natural infection,” he said.
     
    “It is particularly relevant for children because it is a condition they call original antigenic sin, which basically means if you get infected with a natural virus, that gives you not only protection against that virus but similar viruses or even in fact quite different flu viruses in the next year.
     
    “We may be perversely setting ourselves up that if something really new and nasty comes along, that people who have been vaccinated may in fact be more susceptible compared to getting this natural infection.”
     
    The Government’s National Immunisation Program (NIP) targets those most likely to have a poor outcome from flu, with the seasonal flu vaccine recommended for anyone over six months old.
     
    Professor Collignon says that in light of the study, the Australian Government and health policy makers need to look at whether vaccines actually do more harm than good, particularly in people who otherwise have not got risk factors.

Saudi Troops Enter Bahrain To Save Regime!

Thousands of anti-government protesters demonstrate against the king dem in Manama's Riffa Area near the royal palace on March 11, 2011. Bahraini anti-riot police clashed with opposition protesters on the outskirts of Riffa after pro-government supporters were able to pass through police lines and attack the opposition march. Nearly 800 people were injured according to the health ministry, mainly due to tear-gas inhalation. UPI/Isa Ebrahim.

  • It looks like the Illuminist plan to take down Saudi Arabia is a total failure. I am no fan of the Saudi/Bahrain Kingdom. But you cannot convince me that the Illuminist will usher in a better government for the Saudi/Bahrain people. This battle is still in the early stages. I doubt the Illuminists will give up so easily!
      
    Saudi troops enter Bahrain to save regime
    MANAMA, Bahrain, March 14 (UPI) — Saudi and United Arab Emirates troops entered Bahrain Monday to shore up the beleaguered regime, the state news agency said. The opposition called intervention by the region’s Gulf Cooperation Council “an overt occupation of the kingdom of Bahrain and a conspiracy against the unarmed people of Bahrain.” The move was confirmed by the government’s Bahrain News Agency.
      
    Witnesses told The New York Times a convoy of 150 armored troop carriers and 50 other vehicles crossed the bridge into the island kingdom from Saudi Arabia. Protesters remained on the streets of Manama after bloody clashes Sunday and have taken over part of the business district, Faraz Sanei of Human Rights Watch told CNN.
     
    Human rights activists said more than 1,000 people were hospitalized Sunday, mostly from gas-related injuries. On Sunday, more than 5,000 people marched in the capital, demanding an end to the monarchy on the island state, security officials said. The government denied protesters were subjected to unjustified force at various locations.
     
    Parliament’s Independent Bloc — 22 pro-government lawmakers — called for martial law, asking King Hamad to enforce a curfew and deploy security forces, the news agency said.

Holocaust Survivor Dr. Hajo Meyer: Zionist Israel Behaving Like Nazis! Zionism And Judaism Is Complete Opposite!

  • Thank you Dr Hajo Meyer for speaking out against the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people! We need more true Jews like you. Zionists are destroying what the true Israel really is: God’s light to lead humanity to salvation in the God of Abraham!
     
    Holocaust Survivor Hajo Meyer Condemns Modern ‘Zionism’
    By Jordan Friedman
    Hajo Meyer — an author, political activist and Auschwitz concentration camp survivor — compared Israel’s relations with the Palestinians to Nazi relations with Jews during the Holocaust at a conference held at Emory on Wednesday.
     
    Meyer was hosted by the Emory Advocates for Justice in Palestine (EAJP). The appearance was part of the “Never Again for Anyone” tour, which has plans to visit 13 cities in the United States and Canada.A Holocaust survivor, Meyer drew upon memories of his own past to demonstrate how he believes they relate to events in the present.
     
    Meyer left Nazi Germany at the age of 14 and lived as a Jewish refugee for the next three years in the Netherlands. He lived underground and worked with Jewish resistance groups for approximately a year but was eventually betrayed and landed in the Auschwitz concentration camp, where he remained for 10 months. Since then, Meyer has been the director of Philips Electronics, a violin designer and, today, is a writer and speaker for Palestinian rights.
     
    “There are many forms of genocide,” Meyer told the Wheel before the conference, noting that as a teenager, he was unable to attend school in Nazi Germany. “So one form of genocide is preventing young people who want to learn something and want to develop their personality from doing so. Mass deportation is genocide, and hunger is genocide. There are … many, many forms of it.”
     
    Before the lecture, Meyer also explained that he hopes students and other audience members would come out of the lecture recognizing “that the Holocaust has a lesson. Never genocide on any group, no matter whom it may be.”
     
    Meyer began his speech by stating his views on the differences between Zionism and Judaism. Zionism is usually defined as the movement for Jewish rebirth and sovereignty in Israel, he said.
     
    He said Zionism is in “stark contrast with Judaic ethics; it’s racist and separatist.” He claimed Zionists have one goal: to garner the maximum Palestinian region, but with the minimum number of Palestinians in it.
     
    Meyer said he feels those who support the “inhumane and unjust policies of the Israeli occupation” misuse the Holocaust to justify policies toward the Palestinians.
     
    “They say nobody will ever or has ever suffered as much as they did in the Holocaust,” Meyer said, adding that Zionists have created a “‘monopoly’ that justifies the dispossession of Palestinians.”
     
    According to Meyer, Israel use their suffering during the Holocaust to lessen the “injustice” of their current actions against the Palestinians.
    Meyer added that he feels students often are not educated enough on the implications of the Holocaust to see a clear connection to events today.
     
    Prior to the Holocaust, Meyer said, Germany “conditioned the dominant society to participation in dehumanization.” For the Jews, he said, that meant arrest without warrant.
     
    “Only those who have been dehumanized through … brain washing attempt to dehumanize others,” he said. Similarly, Meyer said he feels the Israelis utilize “indoctrination through propaganda” toward the Palestinian people, a tactic he also compared to those of the Nazi Party.
     
    Meyer also discussed the early roots of Zionism. He said Zionism was founded by Theodore Herzl. It followed European ideas of colonialism and ethnic nationalism. Meyer said Herzl “didn’t even understand a thing about what he was doing, I think.”
     
    In reiterating his belief that Zionism is the opposite of Judaism, Meyer said that unlike Zionism, “modern enlightened Judaism” developed in the 19th and early 20th centuries and spread through central Europe.
      ….
    Meyer is a member of the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network. He published The End of Judaism in 2003, in which he accuses Israel of misusing the Holocaust’s legacy.
      
  • Here is what the Bible says:
     
    Exodus 22:21
    “You shall neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.”
    Exodus 23:9

    “Also you shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger, because you were strangers in the land of Egypt.”
    Leviticus 19:33
    ‘And if a stranger dwells with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him.’ 
    Leviticus 19:34
    The stranger who dwells among you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.  
    Leviticus 23:22
    ‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field when you reap, nor shall you gather any gleaning from your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am the LORD your God.’ 
    Leviticus 24:22
    You shall have the same law for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am the LORD your God.
    Ezekiel 47:22-23 
    22 It shall be that you will divide it by lot as an inheritance for yourselves, and for the strangers who dwell among you and who bear children among you. They shall be to you as native-born among the children of Israel; they shall have an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. 23 And it shall be that in whatever tribe the stranger dwells, there you shall give him his inheritance,” says the Lord GOD.    
     
     
  • The so-called Star of David is a Satanic symbol. Satanists and occult practitioners use it for calling Satan and demons!
     
    Former Satanist, Bill Schnoebelen (now born again Christian) 
    “A hexagram must be present to call forth a demon” and ” it is a very powerful tool to invoke Satan”.
     
    “To the sorcerer, the hexagram is a powerful tool to invoke Satan.” In fact, the word “hex” — as to put a “hex” or “curse” on people — comes from this word.
     
    If you examine the so-called “Star of David,” or hexagram, closely, you will discover something astonishing. It has six points, forms six equilateral triangles, and in its interior forms a six sided hexagon — thus it reveals the number of Satan’ antichrist beast, — 6 points, 6 triangles, and the 6 sides of the hexagram — 666 !!!
          

Revelation 2:9 - .... and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

Sprotts on Silver: Three Digit Price Ahead !

Going, going ..... gone soon!

  • Silver is heading alot higher than most people think possible!
      
    Sprotts on silver – three digit price ahead
    Sprott Money executives Eric Sprott (chairman) and Larisa Sprott (president), sing the praises of “poor man’s gold” in this Gold Report interview seeing a three digit silver price ahead. Author: Karen Roche.
      
    The Gold Report: Your
    Markets at a Glance commentary last November said it seemed unlikely that silver would stay under $30 for long. Four months later, the spot price is about $35. Are you surprised by how quickly your prediction came true?
    Eric Sprott: Not really. Based on fundamental evidence, technical evidence and other things going on in the markets, I thought silver would be explosive this year. I’ve probably fallen a little short of my targets, but I think it’s going higher. Silver doesn’t have to hit $50 for everyone who’s involved with it to make outsized returns, but I thought it could reach $50 within the first half of this year. All the data supports the thesis that silver is undervalued.
     
    TGR: Are you seeing $50 as a top price, or a new baseline?
    ES: Lots of things may happen in the short term that have no bearing on the long term. Silver now trades at a price ratio of about 40:1 to gold. In other words, it takes 40 ounces of silver price to equal one ounce of gold. The historical ratio is more like 16:1. My view is that we will go back to 16:1 within two to five years. To put that in perspective, a $1,600 gold price would imply $100 for silver. I happen to believe that gold will go much higher than $1,600; therefore, given time and letting this ratio play out, I think we’ll certainly see a three-digit price for silver.
     
    TGR: So, $50 may even become the floor.
    ES: It’s a step on the way. It may come faster or it may take a little longer; but when it happens, silver will outperform gold 3:1. That’s a shockingly large difference and good reason to get a little more involved in silver.
     
    TGR: You’ve said that silver will be this decade’s gold.
    ES: We assembled the gold articles we wrote over the last decade into a compendium called Gold the Investment of the Decade and these are also archived and available on our
    website. Now that we’re in the second year of another decade, I’d say silver will be the investment of this decade. Gold essentially blew everything away in the last decade. There was no contest whatsoever with any currency or stock market. I think we’ll all look back 10 years from now and say silver was the investment of this decade, because it might triple the performance of gold-and I think gold will continue to outperform all other currencies and stock markets. So I think silver’s really an area where people should focus very heavily.
     
    TGR: This performance you’re describing can’t be based primarily on manufacturing demand. How much do you anticipate in the way of investment demand?
    ES: There are two parts to the silver story. One is industrial demand and one is investment demand. Industrial demand has been quite strong, but the thing that’s been very unusual in the last year or two has been the marked increase in investment demand. There are many ways of viewing investment demand, and it’s obvious we’re going to experience some serious growth here. Judging from the data points that we look at, and as Larisa would mention, when we look at our sales of gold and silver bullion, we’re actually selling about five times more dollars of silver than we are dollars of gold. That means we’re selling 200 times more silver bullion than gold bullion. The U.S. Mint is selling as many dollars of silver coins as dollars of gold coins. GoldMoney.com, an online precious metals bank, also has sales of silver and gold that are about equal.
     
    I want to emphasize that we’re dealing with the flow of money here. The price difference is 40:1; but with that kind of money flowing into this commodity versus that commodity, you also have to look at the availability of one versus the other. In this case, believe it or not, that’s 1:87-there’s $1 of silver available in the world for every $87 worth of gold. The number of coins is explosively larger than the dollar figure. Something has to give when you have the same amount of money going into two products that are priced 40:1.
     
    TGR: Perhaps Larisa could tell us a little bit about what’s happening with Sprott Money, including a comparison to other precious metal investment alternatives.
    Larisa Sprott:
    Sprott Money buys and sells gold and silver bullion, which includes coins, bars and wafers. We either physically deliver it or store it. Our storage depository is located in the State of Delaware. Within the next 6-12 months, we will be opening a facility in Canada.
     
    Precious metal investment alternatives include exchange traded funds (ETFs), certificates and trusts; for instance, iShares is listed on an exchange-you get a piece of paper saying you own the commodity, but you don’t have access to it. As my father mentioned, GoldMoney offers gold holdings, whereas Sprott Money allows you product choice and physical delivery of the gold and silver.

Third Reactor Explodes, Full Scale Nuclear Catastrophe Imminent?!

  • Things look pretty bad for the Japanese people. The degree of problem they face just from the earthquake and tsunami is bad enough. Now a nuclear meltdown looms and there is no easy solution for them. Getting sea water to cool a nuclear core when radiation is high is almost an impossible task especially when the cooling system is busted! My prayers are with the Japanese people!
      
    Third Reactor Explodes, Full Scale Nuclear Catastrophe Imminent
    Kurt Nimmo, www.infowars.com
    A third reactor has exploded at the number 2 reactor at the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant. The blast follows an explosion Monday morning at the number 3 reactor and one on Saturday in the number 1 unit.
      
    The Tokyo Electric Power Company had tried a last ditch effort to cool and reduce pressure in the over-heated reactors in units one and three by injecting
    seawater earlier today and over the weekend.
     
    On Monday, Japan’s chief cabinet secretary
    Yukio Edano officially announced the cooling system on the third reactor had failed. The water level inside the reactor fell and exposed the fuel rods at its core for more than two hours despite efforts to pump seawater into the reactor, he said.
     
    Government officials have
    finally admitted to the public that the fuel rods in all three separate reactors have started to melt despite repeated efforts to cool them with sea water. Safety officials are now saying they cannot rule out a full meltdown and the inevitability of a nuclear catastrophe of a magnitude never before experienced.
