Battelle, IBM, Merck Join UPMC’s Effort to Produce Vaccines to Protect Public Health

21st Century Biodefense Offers Innovative Solution to President Obama’s Call for Improved Response to Bioterrorism and Infectious Diseases

Building on its extensive efforts to establish a flexible vaccine development and production facility to strengthen the nation’s biosecurity, UPMC announced today that it has been joined by Battelle, IBM and Merck & Co. Inc. in this first-of-its-kind initiative. These industry and non-profit leaders are supporting UPMC and GE Healthcare in pursuing the construction of this facility, which UPMC proposes to operate in a unique partnership with the federal government.

“With this powerful coalition of partners, we will finally address a critical gap in the nation’s defenses against bioterrorism and infectious diseases,” said Robert J. Cindrich, UPMC’s chief legal counsel and chairman of the initiative, known as 21st Century Biodefense (21CB). “Through this collaboration, we are poised to deliver the urgently needed advances in vaccine development and manufacturing as recently called for by President Obama in his State of the Union address.”

• Battelle emerged during WWII as a top secret facility because of its work on the Manhattan Project

• Between the wars and during World War II, the company was led by George W. Merck, who oversaw America’s germ-warfare research at Fort Detrick.

• IBM-speculate on the uses of Hollerith equipment by the Nazi government and IBM’s role.

As we revisit the term ‘voluntary’ we find that the National Agricultural Law School defines the term as follows:  A program that allows producers to choose whether to participate without loss of market access. The cornerstone of current federal programs is that they are voluntary.

What is the ancient origin of the term ‘voluntary’?

We find the word ‘voluntary’ embedded deep within the Bible, an ancient text.  Voluntary, nadav (nadabah), is used around 15 times in Scripture and is translated offered ‘freely’ in the context of a free-will offering. It can also be used in the context to impel or incite a free-will offering.  The first occurrence of a word is always the most significant and we discover that the first usage of voluntary is Leviticus 1 in the framework of the person submitting an offering.  It is interesting to note that one of Aaron the Chief Priest’s son’s was Nadav.  Nadav and his brother were struck dead when they kindled their censers with strange fire and brought this strange fire to the sanctuary in the wilderness. The name Nadav means ‘generous’ and implies he brought a generous amount of this strange fire to the wilderness sanctuary.

A free-will offering is not mandatory and is prompted by a person’s impulse or initiative.

The root ndb connotes the uncompelled and free movement of the will unto divine service or sacrifice.  It occurs in other Northwest Semitic dialects.  ‘nadav’ can reflect either the inner heart of a man or an physical (free-will) offering.

In the nĕdābâ part of the animal (all fat around the intestines, kidneys, and liver, as well as the sheep’s tail) are to be burnt on the altar.  In Psalm 119:108 it is prayer that constitutes such voluntary offerings.  This unveils the persistent theme that God desires heart-felt obedience more than a multitude of sacrifices.

In the Greek the word ‘voluntary’ is thelo or ethelo which translates into ones will, desire, and purpose, to be resolved or determined which includes the emotion of enjoyment.

On a side-note, the agricultural definition of ‘voluntary’ highlighted is the cornerstone of current federal programs.  What does this mean?  The ancient or biblical definition of ‘pinah’ is a point where two lines converge or meet.  It can also illustrate a leader or a stronghold.  The cornerstone is ‘the most important stone’ or ‘the very important stone,’ the foundation of a building.  In some instances it may refer to the capstone.

10 Minute Citizen:  Watch out  for voluntary programs and cornerstones.

U.S.-Canadian state and provincial integration is being achieved in areas of transportation, the economy, energy and the environment. With some national, trilateral and global initiatives being discredited, stalled or ineffective, it appears as if the strategy has further shifted to a regional and local level in an effort to lay the groundwork for new agreements.

In 2008, the Pacific Coast Collaborative was established between Alaska, British Columbia, California, Oregon and Washington as, “a formal basis for cooperative action, a forum for leadership and information sharing, and a common voice on issues facing Pacific North America.” Some of its key priorities include action on clean energy, regional transportation, emergency management, sustainable regional economy, ocean conservation and climate change, as well as other issues. The inaugural Leaders’ Forum of the Pacific Coast Collaborative was held in Vancouver, British Colombia on February 12, 2010. It was hosted by Premier Gordon Campbell and chaired by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The meeting was also attended by Washington Governor Christine Gregoire and Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown. Although Alaska is also a member of the group, they were not able to send a representative to the meeting. It was announced that Oregon will be hosting the next forum to be held later this year.

The Pacific Coast Leaders signed two action plans. The first being- Innovation, the Environment and the Economy which, “sets out a series of co-operative initiatives to promote renewable and low-carbon energy and energy conservation, including developing Interstate 5/Highway 99 as a green transportation corridor. It also promotes development of high-speed rail from San Diego to Vancouver and the move to ‘Green Ports’ through co-operation to reduce local air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions.” The second action plan on Ocean Conservation and Coastal Climate Change Adaptation, “focuses on co-operation on invasive species, reductions in toxins and other pollutants, promoting sustainable fisheries management and research into impacts from climate change and adaptation options.” The leaders also released a document entitled Vision 2030: Positioning Pacific North America for Sustainable Prosperity which sets out a strategic outlook for regional collaboration.

One of the Pacific Coast Collaborative top priorities includes a high speed rail system. On its website it states, “For the Pacific Coastal region to remain competitive, we need transportation systems that will facilitate the movement of people and goods north to south while reducing the number of vehicles on our highways. Rail, particularly high speed rail, can deliver significant benefits to the region including advancing climate change goals, energy conservation, congestion reduction, and job creation for the citizens of the region.” Cassandra Anderson’s article Agenda 21 Alert: Obama Railroads Us With the Bullet Train details how in many ways a high speed rail system in the U.S. would be impractical and costly, with the majority of the trains running off of diesel fuel. President Obama has promised that such an undertaking would create many jobs, but it has been reported that much of the needed equipment and supplies would have to be outsourced. The article also lays out how future transportation systems could restrict auto and personal mobility in an effort to further control the population.

At the recent meeting, Pacific Coast Leaders urged further local action in combating environmental issues. Governor Schwarzenegger acknowledged that, “We’re united, there’s no two ways about it. Politically, ecologically, we speak with one voice.” He also added that, “We saw at Copenhagen that national governments and the national community has not yet been able to come to an agreement to reducing green house gas emissions. The UN and the national governments have realized that the sub-national governments are really the ones in the end who can put the pressure on and engage the kind of action that is needed.” In her article Agenda 21 Alert: Schwarzenegger’s ‘True Lies’ in Copenhagen Cassandra Anderson stated that, “The globalists’ battle for complete control over all populations is from ‘global to local.’ This is why Arnold was brought to speak at the Copenhagen Summit. He truthfully revealed the power that state and local governments have in accomplishing carbon reduction goals.” Anderson went on to say that, “States can enact their own carbon emission reduction laws and Cap and Trade schemes- it is not necessary for international treaties and federal regulations to be passed.”

The Western Climate Initiative (WCI) was launched in 2007 and includes some U.S. states and Canadian provinces as member partners and observers. Their website states that, “The WCI is a collaboration of independent jurisdictions working together to identify, evaluate, and implement policies to tackle climate change at a regional level.” In September of 2008 the WCI unveiled the centerpiece of their strategy, a regional cap-and-trade program to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. “The first phase of the cap-and-trade program begins on January 1, 2012, covering emissions from electricity, including imported electricity, industrial combustion at large sources, and industrial process emissions for which adequate measurement methods exist. The second phase begins in 2015, when the program expands to include transportation fuels and residential, commercial and industrial fuels not otherwise covered.” With an eye on the future, the WCI also admitted that their, “cap-and-trade program is designed in such a way that it can provide a model for, be integrated into, or work in conjunction with any future U.S. or Canadian emissions-reduction programs.”

President Obama has been forced to delay his push for a national cap-and-trade plan as legislation has been stalled in the U.S. Senate. Many critics of the program argue that it could lead to millions of jobs being lost and the push for a green economy might further hamper economic recovery. A North American climate change strategy is moving forward which includes more emphasis being placed at a regional and local level. The threat of man-made global warming has been discredited in the eyes of many, yet the environmental agenda continues. Protecting our planet has turned increasingly more political and profitable. Under the guise of safeguarding the environment, many solutions being offered are in the form of more taxes and more control over our lives.

For farmers in the trenches and consumers in the shopping aisle it is critical that we understand who we are and how we fit into our historical form of government as well as the current regime.

CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES EXAMINED ©

Authored by LB Bork lb@pacinlaw.org

FORWARD

As some people may understand who have been in the “freedom movement”, there has been a long-term debate on the term “citizen of the United States”.

This article is of purpose to expand on the various types of citizenship that are present in the union that is named The United States of America. When you set out to read the contents herein, you will undoubtedly note that the term citizen is used in somewhat of a vague manner. It is ventured that there is a specified purpose for this measure.1

AMERICAN CITIZEN

To set the premise on this infamous term in question—citizen of the United States—we should first ascertain what a citizen is in affiliation to American law. In regard, see this common definition from the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia:

• Citizenship. Citizenship is membership in a political community (originally a city but now usually a state), and carries with it rights to political participation; a person having such membership is a citizen.

To further explain what the term citizen means in American law, look at the following definition that was of the period prior to the so-called Civil War:

• Persons. This word is applied to men, women and children, who are called natural persons. In law, man and person are not exactly synonymous terms. Any human being is a man, whether he be a member of society or not, whatever may be the rank he holds, or whatever may be his age, sex, &c. A person is a man considered according to the rank he holds in society, with all the rights to which the place he holds entitles him, and the duties which it imposes.

Persons are also divided into citizens (q.v.), and aliens (q.v.), when viewed with regard to their political rights. Bouvier’s Law Dictionary, 1856

Hence, a man—or woman—is considered a human being, however they are not deemed a person unless they are a member of a society, i.e. a body politic or nation.

1  In the Law of Nations by Emer de Vattel, Vattel set-up that a man was a citizen of a country. As a rule, a citizen is subject to the laws of a municipality. What the premise of Vattel did is set-up the legal fiction that people are citizens of a country instead of being members of a nation or nationals of any such country; this making them subject to the State.

2  ALIEN. Owing political allegiance to another country or government; foreign. alien residents. An unnaturalized foreign resident of a country; also called noncitizen. American Heritage

3  Title 8 USC § 1101(a)(3). Definitions. As used in this chapter – [chapter 12 of Title 8]. The term “alien” means any person not a citizen or national of the United States.

4  SOCIETY. A society is a number of persons united together by mutual consent, in order to deliberate, determine, and act jointly for some common purpose. 2. Societies are either incorporated and known to the law, or unincorporated, of which the law does not generally take notice. 3. By civil society is usually understood a state, (q.v.) a nation, (q.v.) or a body politic. Bouvier’s Law Dictionary, 1856

In 2006-2007 Botulism soared in food products from pet food to health food despite the USDA’s 115 years of food inspections.

Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory, in collaboration with researchers at Stony Brook University’s Institute of Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery, were selected to receive up to $1.4 million in applied research funds from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency at the U.S. Department of Defense to develop drugs that block the paralytic and deadly effects of botulinum neurotoxins.

Part V:  Behold!  A Snake in your Refrigerator

“Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades?  Can you loose the cords of Orion?  Can you bring forth the “Wheel of Stars” into its seasons and stand in the path of Ayish/Iyutha (Aldeberan) and her satellites (Hyades)?  Do you know the laws of the heavens and can you establish their rule over the earth?….  Have you given wisdom to the Lance Star (Antares) or intelligence to the Bow Star?

The Old UN Snake in the Refrigerator Trick

www.foodsafety.gov

A snake in the grass has slithered into your life and into your refrigerator and you might not even know it.  Our food has been under assault for some time but it was not until recently, around 1990, you could go to the grocery store and pick up a beautiful head of fresh lettuce and some nice peaches, bring them home to put in your crisper, only to discover that the next day they had decomposed into a slimy green-black pile of goo.  This is when you maybe began saying, “There is something wrong with this picture”, and so there was.  Monsanto and other companies began to genetically modify the foods we ate, making hideous transgenic images of food.  These food products that have the appearance of foodstuffs could buy or grow but they are very different.  A tomato, for instance, might have the DNA of a human or your chicken might glow in the dark.

Not only does the UN want to control your food, the UN also wants to manage every aspect of your life as you are probably guessing by now.

Snake Charmer

Symbols possess an esoteric language, a secret code, which the [occult] student must decipher and whose meaning he or she must unlock. —Erwin W. E. Watermeyer, “Symbols: The Tools of Initiation,” Rosicrucian Digest, March 1985.

“…symbols form a visual shorthand for ideas—and yet their functions and meanings extend to something much more than that. — Jack Tresidder, Dictionary of Symbols, p. 6.

A mysterious image of a coiled snake has appeared in a 16th century painting of Queen Elizabeth I, according to the National Portrait Gallery.

Undulating UN Snake Manifestation

World Health Day Coming April 7^th-Stethoscope in the shape of a snake

It is important to note that the  WHO logo or emblem was chosen by the first World Health Assembly in 1948, and is often associated with promotional material for World Mental Health Day. The emblem consists of the UN symbol surmounted by a staff with a snake coiling round it. The staff with the snake has long been a symbol of medicine and the medical profession. It originates from the story of Aesculapius who was revered by the ancient Greeks as a god of healing and whose cult involved the use of snakes.

It is also important to note that the OIE is the branch that makes comprehensive codes applicable to all human-animal life for all member countries.  OIE events or conferences are known as ‘manifestations’.  Example:  www.oie.int/eng/manifestations/en_prep_manif_IA.htm

It is critical that we understand what a ‘manifestation’ is as we engage in our political process and understand the UN snake that is before us.  A ‘manifestation’ can mean several things and as the ’shoe fits’ we will put it on as an example:

• The OIE could be acting or being in the state of manifestation

• The OIE could be creating an existence, reality, or presence of something.

• The OIE could be an entity that takes the form of a divine being which is being revealed.

• The OIE could be a materialized form of a disembodied spirit.

• The OIE could be portrayed as a public demonstration that is political in nature: dissenting.

• The OIE ‘manifestation’ displays the illusion of solidarity.

• The OIE ‘manifestations’ can indicate a sign or indication.  (The suggestion of foul play)

• The OIE ‘manifestations’ can demonstrate a clear appearance of an overwhelming mass feeling or emotion that has the feeling of a tidal wave. (Global consciousness)

The specific use of ‘manifestation’ is provocative.  These OIE ‘events’ which are comprehensive in nature can give the appearance of something coming into sight, namely globalism.  These OIE evens could be interpreted as a divine manifestation, an epiphany so to speak.  Going one step further the OIE may be claiming the visible ‘manifestation’ of deity to a global entity that might be conferred to a human person down the road, a theophany.

It is ironic that the OIE is orchestrating supposed control and eradication of the manifestation of disease in people and animals.  The term can also mean an ‘actor’ who is acting on behalf of the government and subject to regulation.

As if the above definitions were not troubling enough the Blacks Law Dictionary,  Sixth Edition, brings the definition of ‘manifestation’ right to our front door in another undulating and ironic twist:

Terror: Alarm, fright; dread; the state of mind induced by the apprehension of hurt from some hostile or threatening event or manifestation; fear caused by the appearance of danger.  In an indictment for a riot at common law, it must have been charged that the acts done were “to the terror” of the people.

An element of offense of aggravated kidnapping, is any act which is done to fill with intense fear or to coerce by threat of force.  Rogers v State, Tex.Cr-App.,687 S.W.2d 337, 341.
