Sichuan Government Raised Warning Level - PANDEMIC ALERT
Boxun News (China, English Version) ^ | 31 Jul 05 | Boxun News (China)

Posted on 07/31/2005 11:33:20 AM PDT by datura

On July 31 (BJ time), Sichuan government has raised warning level of the so-called "Streptococcosis Suis". It warns the high risk of this disease. Government sent 50,000 immunity professionals to the region.

The message is sent through posters, before farmers did not know the disease until there were people infected around them.

By the time Boxun issues this message - 4pm (BJ time), XinHua News' web page still shows the death toll of July 30. There is only one item that was from yesterday. It seems that this warning is only for Sichuan Province.

I sure wish we knew more.

You and me both.

China can't allow WHO into their country to check it out. At lest not until a few hundred million of their peasents die. And we know by then, it will be too late.

Off topic....We are having a severe thunderstorm here. I may have to leave.

I envy your storm - it's merely hot here with no clouds to be seen.

One last word from Boxun I found:

One message to Boxun by anoymous source said about 200 people from three villages diasppeared. Until we receive pictures or other source of information, Boxun considers this information is very unreliable.(Modified on 2005/7/30)

Didn't they just say that they had vaccines for H5N1, and that they would take care of the Avian Flu in the same manner?

It sounds identical to me.

Excellent find.

Thanks. Yes they did. They appear to be having trouble keeping their lies together. It's always harder to lie and keep that lie going, than to tell the truth.

Human H5N1 Bird Flu Bioweapons Research in China?

Recombinomics Commentary
July 15, 2005

Since 2004, the government has classified most infected or death cases caused by the virus, supplemented with the information gathered in qinghai. For non-fatal infectious diseases, the chinese government targeted at controlling information and quarantine measures. For infectious diseases which are fatal to human, the focus of the government is whether the virus can be converted to a biological weapon or not. The military will first research on the controllability of the virus.

In some occasions, the virus may even be released to the public in order to test the effectiveness of the vaccines and preventive measures.

So far, the bird-flu virus strains that are fatal to human is classified into 7 different categories. The H5N1 is the original version while others are mutated from the original H5N1.

The above is a human translation from the boxun report on strains isolated in China. The comment on deliberate release on human subjects is of considerable concern.

This document has not been independently verified, but does raise disturbing issues, especially since H5N1 is very hard to control and rapidly changes via reassortment and recombination.

The details in these documents are cause for concern.

Now that we've nailed the ChiComs, what does OUR government know, and what are they going to do about it?

If we can figure this out and we are amateurs...God only knows what our government knows. As far as what they'll do, probably just what they're doing now.....

Maybe they are waiting to see if the Chi-coms came up with the antidote. If we don't have one, then we can steal their R&D.

God, I'm jaded.

The pisser is feeling this incapable of action. Completely powerless to do more than go along for the ride.

This does feel like The Stand.

WHAT IF - our government's "on the ground" intel on this subject is as weak as it was in Iraq - and they know little or nothing about this?

Could that be possible? (shudder)

It most definetly does. When our government has to start stepping over our dead bodies, maybe then they'll do something. But, I'm not going to be holding my breath waiting for that to happen.

I don't understand how they can turn a blind eye to the Chi-coms playing with bio-weapons.
