Grippe A : un député de « Russie unie » demande que la Russie suspende son adhésion à l’OMS (newsru.com 28-11-2009)

Article repris sur le site du KPRF sous le titre : Encore un sale coup des capitalistes, ou comment les laboratoires pharmaceutiques se font une fortune grâce à la « grippe porcine »

Il est absolument urgent de vérifier les informations parues dans les médias occidentaux sur la collusion présumée entre l’organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) et les compagnies pharmaceutiques. Si ces soupçons étaient confirmés, la Russie pourrait suspendre son adhésion à l’organisation, déclare Igor Barinov, membre de la commission de la douma d’État en charge des affaires de corruption.

D’après certaines sources, les experts de l’OMS ont reçu de l’argent des compagnies pharmaceutiques, et c’est ce qui aurait conduit cette organisation, pour la première fois depuis plus de 40 ans, à déclarer officiellement le niveau six d’alerte de pandémie en rapport avec la diffusion mondiale rapide de la grippe A/H1N1. Ce sont des journalistes du journal danois Information qui, après avoir étudié les liens des experts de l’OMS avec les grandes compagnies pharmaceutiques mondiales, en ont conclu que la pandémie de grippe porcine pourrait être l’affaire de corruption la plus grandiose de notre époque.

L’OMS, après avoir déclaré l’état de pandémie de grippe porcine dans le monde, a dans une première étape recommandé fortement à tous les pays d’utiliser dans la lutte contre le virus le produit Tamiflu des laboratoires suisses. Rappelons que ce produit a suscité des critiques en Russie à cause de ses effets secondaires possibles. En même temps, le ministère de la santé ukrainien a été accusé de faire des achats excessifs et injustifiés de Tamiflu.

D’après Barinov, la Russie ne peut rester indifférente aux accusations portées contre l’OMS. « L’organisation est suspectée de corruption. Nous devons absolument mener une enquête minutieuse avant de prendre toute décision » – a-t-il déclaré vendredi aux journalistes. « Si l’information est confirmée, nous devrons poser la question du bien-fondé de la participation de la Russie de l’OMS, et le cas échéant suspendre notre adhésion ».

D’après les chiffres qu’il cite, la Russie a dépensé pour la lutte contre le nouveau virus plus de 4 milliards de roubles, qui, selon le député, auraient pu être dépensés à meilleur escient, annonce RIA Novosti.

Barinov a suggéré de faire mener l’enquête à l’OMS par le représentant russe dans cette organisation, le membre du comité exécutif de l’OMS Vladimir Starodoubov. « Personne ne remet en cause les services rendus au XXe siècle par l’OMS dans la lutte contre la malaria, la variole, le sida, mais aujourd’hui il faut se demander si cette organisation n’est pas frappée elle-même par le virus de la corruption, et dans quelle mesure ces recommandations sont fondées, dans quelle mesure on peut lui faire confiance » – estime le député.

De son côté, le directeur de l’institut de veille sanitaire Guennadi Onichtchenko, prenant la parole vendredi à une conférence du parquet général de la fédération de Russie consacrée au respect de la législation dans le domaine pharmaceutique, a déclaré lui aussi que la lutte contre la grippe porcine dans le monde prend l’allure d’un complot.

Swine flu epidemic ‘escaped from lab’

THREE Australian experts are making waves in the medical community with a report suggesting swine flu may have developed because of a lab error in making vaccines.

“It could have happened in a lab where somebody became affected and then travelled with it,” virologist Dr Adrian Gibbs said yesterday.

Conjuring up a vision of Frankenstein’s fictional monster fleeing the laboratory, he added: “Things do get out of labs and this has to be explored. There needs to be more research done in this area.

“At the moment there is no way of distinguishing where swine flu has come from.”

The research, published in the Virology Journal on Tuesday, was compiled by two former researchers at the Australian National University – Dr Gibbs and programmer John S. Armstrong.

Dr Jean Downie, once the head of HIV research at Westmead Hospital, was also involved.


The article claimed the swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus that appeared in Mexico in April has at least three parent genes which originated in the US, Europe and Asia.

“The three parents of the virus may have been assembled in one place by natural means, such as by migrating birds, however the consistent link with pig viruses suggests that human activity was involved,” the research found.

Within two days of them publishing their findings there were more than 16,000 downloads of the article.

“What we wanted to do was instigate debate about this again because we still don’t know the source of this virus,” Dr Gibbs said.

The research suggested more tests be done on laboratories “which share and propagate a range of swine influenza viruses”.

It said that if the virus was generated by laboratory activity it would explain why it had “escaped surveillance for over a decade”.

Dr Gibbs said it was not the first time lab errors had been made, with evidence foot and mouth disease in England had been born out of a lab mistake and circumstantial evidence that Spanish influenza in 1918 and Asian influenza in 1957 reappeared decades later because of mistakes.

“Measures to restore confidence include establishing an international framework co-ordinating surveillance, research and commercial work with this virus and a registry of all influenza isolates held for research and vaccine production,” the report concluded.

Bacteria from Mars found inside ancient meteorite

Their fossilised remains have been found in the rock, which was blasted out of Mars 16 million years ago as the solar system was forming.

The meteorite, called Allen Hills 84001, made headlines in 1996 after fossils were found in it. Scientists believed they were bacteria from Earth that contaminated the rock while it lay in the frozen wastes.

But a Nasa report now says there is strong evidence they originated on Mars, according to The Sun.

Dr Emily Baldwin, deputy editor of the UK’s Astronomy Now magazine, said: “Many scientists argued that what looked like fossils in the meteorite were really caused by the explosive event, such as an asteroid impact, that blasted the rock out of Mars in the first place.

“But the Nasa team is now saying they have proved that they could not have been produced by the blast itself.

“If the features turn out to have an extraterrestrial, biological origin and were not formed during the 13,000 years the meteorite spent lying on Earth, this will have profound implications for our understanding of how life evolved in the solar system.”

Prof Colin Pillinger, of the Open University, who was behind Britain’s ill-fated Beagle 2 probe to the planet that was lost on Christmas Day 2003, said: “This is good quality work and more compelling evidence to add to the mix. These guys have been plugging away at this for years. It is a very careful study by very reputable people.”

The Nasa study, led by Kathie Thomas-Keprta, found carbonate discs and tiny magnetite crystals inside the space rock. Scientists were able to use high resolution electron microscopes that were not available 13 years ago.

They concluded “unusual chemical and physical properties” in the meteorite were “intimately associated within and throughout these carbonate disks”. That, they said, was evidence of interaction with water on Mars more than 3.5 billion years ago.

Nasa is expected to announce the findings, from its Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas, later this week.

Things I remember…

I would like to write them down BEFORE I forget! Hey, never know, somebody else might remember these places, also. Stuff from the Quad, from when I was a kid. Besides, I am getting old now. I have to document stuff.

I remember Skateland in East Moline. I must have been there every weekend. I spent way too much time there. Loved the New Years Skate, when you could stay there until the wee hours of the morning. Hell yeah. Had my speed skates, loved it! Closed down now.

Skate Ranch in Milan. I didn’t spend as much time there, but I liked it. Closed down now. Had this really groovy dance floor in the middle of the skating rink. Also had volleyball outside and a mini movie theater. Milan used to have a lot of entertainment options…from what I understand, it is pretty much dead now.

Hmmm, speaking of Milan, it used to have the kickass Showcase Cinemas and Razz-Ma-Tazz. Razz-Ma-Tazz was this pizza place, kinda like Chuck-E-Cheese but a lot bigger. Milan was the fast food mecca, also…Rudy’s Tacos, Happy Joe’s, etc. There was this great pizza place called the Pizza Joynt that was outside of Milan proper, on the way to Andalusia, I believe. I spent a lot of time in Showcase Cinemas.

Theaters-Parkway Theater in Moline, near Southpark Mall. Closed down. Sierra Theater, on 23rd Avenue. Closed. I don’t think they call it 23rd Avenue anymore…

There was this weird restaurant I remember going to when I was a child. Called Drawbridge Restaurant, or something like that. It looked like a castle. I don’t think it lasted very long…it was cool.

Showbiz Pizza, Davenport! Had two birthday parties there. Turned into Chuck-E-Cheese. Bummer.

Duck Creek Plaza in Bettendorf! That place was usually dead, but it is gone, anyway.

Used to like the Book Emporium in East Moline. Bought many, many books there. Gone.

Remember those fountains in Southpark Mall in Moline?

Wacky Waters…Davenport. Gone.

That is life, I suppose…I wish I had pictures of these places that I remember once in awhile. Would be great.

A lot of great stuff is gone, which is rather disappointing, but there is still Harris Pizza and Frank’s Pizza. I hope. Doesn’t do me a lot of good here in rural Canada, but miss it all the same.

 

Happy Thanksgiving

If you are in the USA and celebrating with family and or friends, feel thankful…you are most lucky. I really miss the States around this time of year. It is very difficult for me, especially lately, given the fact I keep thinking about the past. Trying to move into the future, but feeling pangs of loneliness. My family has pretty much abandoned me, so that is not an option. I see my old friends going through so many problems; sadness, depression, lack of money.

I suppose whatever doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.

I wish you safe journeys, love and hope. May you be blessed.

 

My take on aliens-UFOs…

I try to keep an open-mind on such things…I have witnessed UFOs myself. My question then becomes

WHAT ARE THEY?

Are they aliens? Government? Military? A combination?

I don’t know, but I will tell you this much…they ain’t good.

I know there is a school of thought that says the aliens are good, they are protecting us, etc etc…

I am sorry, but it seems to me that abduction is a pretty evil, scary thing. Especially when you don’t know who your bloody captors are.

There are a few possibilities here.

Military

Maybe it is the military, swooping up people and testing new and exciting aircraft. If they are, indeed, doing this…well, it ain’t good. They are doing things covertly, against their own people, withoug consent or prior knowledge.

Aliens

Okay, so maybe it is aliens, doing this on their own, without govt interference. They don’t inform us of their intentions, they leave bizarre clues, etc. They see what is happening to the earth and her inhabitants, yet they do absolutely nothing. They abduct people, try to implant objects and memories, etc. Sorry charlie, I don’t see how any good can come of this. If they are working alone, they are indeed evil.

The aliens, the govt and the military

Maybe they are all working together. Perhaps the aliens abduct people, the govt knows and allows it in exchange for technology and control, etc. Soo…this makes all entities involved evil.

I cannot entertain the possibility they are love and light. I am sorry, but I cannot. Look at human history and the control involved in such a thing.

I realize there are other tangible possibilities, but suspend your disbelief for a bit…ain’t no way they are here to help.

Heidi out.

Last night’s dream

This is starting to get ridiculous.

I was in a strange shopping mall, there was a piano recital going on there. The mall had hardly any stores. I was looking at a map of the Quad Cities, and the Mississippi river changed course drastically, and it was split into sectors.  I was in a boat, the river was very dirty. Somebody kept stealing my babies. I was married to a strange man, I would give birth and he would take the babies away. I was in the Rock Island library, but could not get my books in on time.

New blog…

Hey, I have started a new blog based on reviews. Things like books, tv, movies, music. If you have any desire, which you probably do not, come and take a look.
