OpEdNews - Article: AVIAN BIRD FLU / REALITY OR SCAM ?

"The Secretary of Defense, the man who allegedly supported the use of contrived intelligence to justify the war on Iraq, is now poised to reap huge gains for a flu panic his Administration has done everything it can to promote:" Maneka Gandhi

I've learned some time ago to never trust anything that the Cheney/Bush administration says ~ particularly if it involves a world wide pandemic or terrorist scare.

It was with that in mind that I looked into the potential Avian Bird Flu epidemic ~ and found some more than interesting connections with US pharmaceutical giant Roche and yes, our own defense secretary, Donald Rumsfeld.

Internationally renowned activist, Meneka Gandhi, pulls no punches and calls the bird flu " the latest scam perpetrated by the American Government and pharmaceutical companies."

Excerpt: "The Secretary of Defense, the man who allegedly supported the use of contrived intelligence to justify the war on Iraq, is now poised to reap huge gains for a flu panic his Administration has done everything it can to promote... This is not the first time that Rumsfeld has been involved in pharmaceutical scams. It was after all Rumsfeld, as chairman of G.D. Searle, who pressured the FDA to get Aspartame approved. The FDA blocked its approval for ten years, stating it was toxic, before Rumsfeld twisted arms at the FDA ... Bush and Rumsfeld, the people who led America into the Iraq decimation based on those mythical "weapons of mass destruction" have found another WMD as mythical - Avian flu. "

THE SCARE OF EPIDEMICS: What is the reality of the avian flu?
By Maneka Gandhi

Money makes not just the world go around but turns it topsy-turvy all the time. America needed a war to keep its armament companies happy - especially since the Vice president, Dick Cheney, himself had headed one of the largest government contracting companies. So they invented the bogey of Iraq. They destroyed Afghanistan before that, complaining that there were not enough " targets" to shoot at from the air (so they bombed schools and hospitals).

But the most money in the world does not come from just armament sale. It comes from creating scares of epidemics. Then the world's purses open up readily.

Do you remember the scare created by the Americans just seven years ago when they declared that all computers would stop on New Year as the new millennium came and planes and trains would crash and stock markets would fall and the world would come to an end. Who made money out of that?

Those computer companies that were brought in to " repair" this looming disaster. Not a single computer stopped, nothing happened.

What about the SARS "pandemic" which eventually faded away. A high pitched media campaign had convinced the world it was facing a great threat when in reality SARS turned out to be a comparably minor disease .

Do you remember the Foot and Mouth scam in which lakhs of cows were killed brutally in Britain and there was the smell of burning flesh throughout the countryside. Foot and Mouth is not communicable to humans, it does not affect the meat, it is easily curable.

But farmers who could not sell their cows for lack of orders and who wanted to get out of the cow-selling business created this scare and picked up thousands of pounds as compensation and insurance from the government for killing their cows.

Bird Flu is like that. It is the latest scam perpetrated by the American Government and pharmaceutical companies. Let us look at the facts.

Avian Flu is a virus strain that is found only in birds in badly kept poultries. It affects some birds that are already ill fed, suffering from lung and bone diseases and kept on a steady diet of hormones and antibiotics and other bird carcases.
