Karen Leeb, JD, MLS, Denise Chrysler, JD, and Richard Goodman, MD, JD, MPH, recently authored the article “The Social Distancing Law Project Template: A Method for Jurisdictions to Assess Understanding of Relevant Legal Authorities” in the March issue of the journal Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness, © 2010 American Medical Association. The article summarizes the Social Distancing Law Project (SDLP) and its implementation by 17 selected jurisdictions in 2007, and reports on the experience of one jurisdiction, Michigan, as a case example. Ten additional states are implementing the project in 2010. The article also describes the SDLP template developed for other state and local health officials’ use in assessing their legal preparedness for communicable disease outbreaks. The template and additional resources can be downloaded from http://www2a.cdc.gov/phlp/SDLP.

“As part of its plan to address these action items, HHS asked CDC to evaluate the sufficiency and understanding of states’ existing legal authorities to implement such social distancing measures as suspension of public gatherings, quarantine, and curfew, among other limits on movement, as well as their legal authority to dispense antiviral and other prescription drugs on a mass or community-wide basis.”

HHS and the CDC are crafting new regulations that will incorporate public health lessons learned since 2005, Pearson said in the statement after, “There were a lot of questions about how plausible it was to treat airports as a place where you could stop and inspect and quarantine people,” Baker said Thursday. She did not elaborate and referred questions to HHS. HHS spokeswoman Vicki Rivas-Vazquez said late Thursday the department had no further comment.

Hobby farmer or agri-business, speed of light global commerce will be impacting your farm.  Department of Homeland Security, DHS, along with one of their Center’s of Excellence, FAZD, have teamed up to examine the impact that cross-country commerce and travel has on local farms.  Your farm is in their sights…

The National Animal Identification System, NAIS, on your mind?  The FAS Transportation Data Management System retrieves premise identification listings, datamines with extraction of local, county, state, regional, and national farm and asett information.  FASTRANS is NASS (yes, our ‘friend’ in the farm census) compliant.  ConOps will use NASS data for traceback information.  In the future, coming soon to a farm near you, ConOps will send a description of a selected premises for quarantine orders.  Henceforth and forevermore, the powers-that-be have decreed by royal command that the public (our) highways and by-ways will be referred to as ‘vectors’.

This program works with FASCAT.  These programs wrap around public law and HSPD 9-10 regarding agriculture.

What is Anti-Vaccinationism?
Biot Report #663: November 12, 2009

Anti-vaccinationism is opposition to vaccination. The anti-vaccinationist opposes vaccination for one or more reasons, e.g., belief that vaccination is unsafe, ineffective, oppressive or religiously intrusive. Vaccination is the intentional administration of a foreign material (vaccine) to produce immunity to (protection against) a disease. Vaccinationism is the belief that vaccination is safe and effective in producing immunity to disease and the very best way to prevent disease. (1)

Bird Flu… Swine Flu… 1918 Flu.  Just what does this flu do to merit the massive attention that media and government are seizing upon?  There is not allot written about the 1918 influenza because there was a media black-out due to global events.  The following is a vivid written and photographic description of the 1918 influenza from the US Army perspective.

Biot #641: August 16, 2009

In the fog of the influenza pandemic of 1918, Dr. Victor C. Vaughan, head of communicable diseases for the U.S. Army training camps, cautioned shaken observers that a full accounting of the pandemic required time and further study. (1) Surgeon General M.W. Ireland and Lieutenant Colonel Joseph F. Siler, M.D., prepared and delivered that final accounting in their 600-page tome titled The Medical Department of the United States Army in the World War: Communicable and other Diseases (1928). (2-4) Major Milton W. Hall, M.D., prepared the 110-page chapter on the respiratory disease outbreaks.

This work on the influenza pandemic and other disease outbreaks among American soldiers between April 1, 1917 and December 31, 1919 is based on massive amounts of actual data analyzed and interpreted by clinicians, medical epidemiologists, and scientists for use by posterity (us). The book is the most detailed, comprehensive, complete, reliable, valid and useful description of the 1918 influenza pandemic available today, in this author’s opinion. Its scientific approach contrasts with the social historical approach common to many books available today on the 1918 influenza pandemic.

What did the physician authors of The Medical Department of the United States Army in the World War: Communicable and other Diseases learn from the medical data collected during the Great War? What can people living a century later (us) learn from their work?

1. Many Infectious Diseases Flourished before and during the Influenza Pandemic Era, 1917-1919, but Influenza and its Complications Dominated

During World War I in the U.S. Army camps, many diseases flourished. There are individual chapters in The Medical Department of the United States Army in the World War: Communicable and other Diseases on the typhoid and the paratyphoid fevers, inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract, tuberculosis, cerebrospinal meningitis, anthrax, diphtheria, the venereal diseases, the diarrheal group of diseases, chickenpox, scarlet fever, measles, mumps, German measles, encephalitis lethargica, infectious jaundice, typhus fever, trench fever, Vincent’s disease, the malarial fevers, intestinal parasites, diseases of the skin, and neurocirculatory asthenia. Of these myriad diseases afflicting soldiers in the U.S. Army during World War I, the respiratory diseases dominated in quantity and severity. (4) Dr. Hall declared, “[T]he serious and fatal inflammations of the respiratory tract…formed by far the most important factor in the sickness and death records of the Army during the World War.” (5)

2. Morbidity and Mortality Data, Influenza and other Contagious Diseases, U.S. Army, Great War

The total mean strength of the U.S. Army (officers and enlisted men, henceforth, soldiers) from April 1, 1917, to December 31, 1919, was 4,128,479. (6-7) Of these 4,128,479 soldiers, 3,515,464 (85%) reported sick for admission. [!] (6) This number of sick soldiers is astounding.

The total number of soldiers admitted for respiratory diseases was 1,125,401, which calculates to 27% of all soldiers in the U.S. Army and 32% of U.S. soldiers reporting sick for admission. In other words, one out of three soldiers developed respiratory disease requiring sick admission at some time between 1917-1919 and one out of three soldiers reporting for sick admission carried a respiratory disease diagnosis. Note that the respiratory disease diagnoses in the respiratory disease category employed by Dr. Hall were limited to influenza, bronchitis, bronchopneumonia and lobar pneumonia. Each of these disease entities affects the lower respiratory tract. Upper respiratory disease categories such as pharyngitis [sore throat], tonsillitis, and sinusitis were not included in Dr. Hall’s respiratory diseases category.

Of the 1,125,401 soldiers admitted for respiratory disease diagnoses, 791,907 carried the diagnosis of influenza, which calculates to 19% of all soldiers in the U.S. Army (1917-1919) and 23% of all soldiers who reported sick for admission (1917-1919). By contrast and by way of example, 67,026 (2%) soldiers reported sick for syphilis, 4,831 (0.1%) for cerebrospinal meningitis, and 1,529 for typhoid fever (0.04%). (2)

Of the 791,907 soldiers diagnosed with influenza, 24,664 (3%) died. (8) There were so many deaths, logistical problems arose over managing the bodies, according to a congressional probe to which Secretary of War Newton Baker responded in three days of testimony in late January 25, 1918, available elsewhere. (9) The U.S. Congress was having difficulty obtaining information on U.S. Army camp operations because of censorship of the press by the Wilson administration, which did not want Germany to know, via U.S. media, of troubles affecting the raising of a U.S. army. Of the 791,907 soldiers diagnosed with influenza, 767,243 (97%) survived their illness.

Of all the deaths charged to influenza, 99.4% were recorded as due secondarily to pneumonia (66.1% bronchopneumonia and 33.3% lobar pneumonia; the difference between the two types of pneumonias is not important here; rather the fact that the patients died a respiratory death is what is important).

The total number of deaths from all diseases during the war was 58,119. Of the 58,119 deaths due to all diseases, the respiratory diseases accounted for 46,992, or 80.85%. (8) In other words, four out of five soldiers who died of disease died of respiratory disease (as defined by Dr. Hall, see above).
3. Problems Defining a Case of Influenza during the Great War

At the beginning of 1918, most clinicians believed that the bacillus of Pfeiffer caused influenza. Dr. Richard Pfeiffer was an eminent German researcher and son-in-law of Dr. Robert Koch whose conclusions that bacteria caused influenza were based on work done late in the 1889-1892 cycle of the disease. However, noted Dr. Hall, “With the advent of the earlier recognizable waves of the 1918 outbreak it became evident that the bacillus of Pfeiffer was not uniformly present in the cases examined.” (10) Bacteriologists simply were not growing the Pfeiffer bacillus (today known as Haemophilis influenza) from sputum, blood, or other fluids of the gravely sick soldiers exhibiting signs of what was being called “influenza.” In fact, instead, bacteriologists were growing pneumococci and other “mouth” bacteria from sputum, which were under normal circumstances considered benign.

DOD and Pandemic Influenza

A flu pandemic is a worldwide epidemic [this means a disease can be spread and is located in as few as two locations globally] of an influenza virus. The United States response to a pandemic has international and domestic components. Domestic response includes efforts which would include contributions from every governmental level (local, state, tribal, and federal), non-governmental organizations, and the private sector.

On June 4, 2009 the CRS released a report on the Department of Defenses (DOD) role during a pandemic.

DOD Response

During a pandemic the Department of State would lead the federal government’s international “rescue” efforts while the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services would lead the federal government’s domestic “response” [take notice of the difference in language between the global effort and domestic effort, internationally it is ‘rescue’, domestically it is ‘response’]. The CRS report clearly states that that the Department of Defense (hereafter DOD) would be called first to support international efforts and then domestic influenza efforts.

DOD Support

With all due respects to civil authorities during influenza pandemic DOD support would include:

• Providing disease surveillance
• Laboratory diagnostics
• Transporting response teams
• Vaccines, medical equipment, supplies, diagnostic devices, pharmaceuticals and blood products
• Treating patients;
• Evacuating the ill and injured;
• Processing and tracking patients;
• Providing base and installation support to federal, state, local, and tribal agencies; controlling movement into and out of areas, or across borders, with affected populations;
• Supporting law enforcement;
• Supporting quarantine enforcement;
• Restoring damaged public utilities; [How are public utilities damaged during the flu?]
• Providing mortuary services.

Houston we have trouble! For those observing (to say the word ‘watch’ lands you on a certain list) biological ‘events’ the last week has been ‘eventful’. It appears as though the biological event of biblical proportion which many have been expecting was possibly released world-wide, last AUGUST.  Under a research grant the USDA transferred to the Republic of Georgia weaponized African Swine Influenza.  A new paradigm manifested in the conflict between the Republic of Georgia and Russian Federation as the Swine Flu spread like wildfire, a perfect proving ground.

Last August the Russian Federation, the Republic of Georgia (not the US), the Pacific NW, Brazil, Tokyo, the US Army were scrambling and doing surveillance operations on the Swine Flu virus, in the Orthomyxoviruses family, which appears to now be encircling the globe.  As in the biblical plague account the pestilence also known as plagues occurred over a period of a year, with increasing intensity and diversity.

This morning, April 28th, Israel is engaged in active surveillance.

How does a virus cross the species barrier?  Here is a visual from a NH Pandemic Power Point:

The Swine Flu has been the subject of controversy for some years. In the 1970’s there was a ‘scare’ resulting in a document: The Swine Flu Affair: Decision Making on a Slippery Disease by Richard E. Neustadt and Harvey V Fineberg, M.D. The goal of the Health Department was vaccinate the entire population for Swine and Victoria A Influenza. Much of the population became disabled with Guillian-Barre Syndrome, a permanent paralytic condition. For a historical reference please visit this link:

http://biotech.law.lsu.edu/cphl/history/books/sw/swineflu_intro.pdf

You can read about the different classifications of virology at:

http://www.virology.net/garryfavweb13.html

Most genetic changes in the flu viruses—human, pig, and bird—are small and subtle point mutations in the virus’s RNA. Less common but more alarming are sudden, wholesale changes that replace entire genes and are more likely to circumvent the immune system. This process, called genetic shift, is exactly what is now occurring in North American pigs. Thus, the latest swine influenza virus is a curious hybrid: The genes that code for its coat proteins derive from classical swine influenza, but half of its internal genes have been snatched whole from avian and human viruses. The structure of the influenza virus lends itself to such radical changes. The virus is made of eight single-stranded segments of RNA that together code for 10 proteins (see illustration). If two or more different viruses infect the same host cell, they can swap segments, creating new viral types.

Enter:  Coxsackie

7 MARCH 2003 VOL 299 SCIENCE www.sciencemag.org.  A 2002 report from the Corp of Engineers on cold weather research on Swine Flu and Coxsackie: LINK

Coxsackie is a particularly interesting *novel* (created bug) that mimics or disguises itself as other diseases such as cancer or neurological diseases, making it particularly difficult to diagnose.  It is the perfect bug for those who desire to “Game In” a New Order by way of a bio-event.  The rules of engagement for gaming in a bio-event.  When combined with the Swine or Avian Flu this insidious bug takes on an extremely lethal result.  There was significant “research” done with Coxsackie in the 1990′s.

What is Gaming a Biological Event?

Notice that the Corp studied this deadly combo during cold weather.  The influenza rate was plummeting drastically in the last few weeks as spring began to emerge.  A weaponized release of a bio bug would have greater results in a winter release.  Notice below that military reports of influenza as well as the population at large were beginning to fall with the onset of the spring season.  This recent report clearly shows that in the military   influenza was not swine flu, and that was emphasized.  An abrupt onset of *novel* influenza or manufactured influenza in a time period that normally sees cases of influenza dropping must be considered suspect.

Changes on the farm may be fostering the evolution of the swine flu virus—and if a dangerous new strain crosses back into humans, it could have deadly consequences.  For an overview of the jump from pig to bird to man see the following article:

The Fog of Epidemics (or War):  The Phoenix Rises

The following is an articulate article written in 2005 by Richard Krause of the National Health Institute in Bethesda, Maryland.

LINK Here

“I read the 1953 lecture on Influenza: the Newe Acquayantance (1) by Thomas Francis, Jr, in 1953, and I did not read it again until recently, as I was preparing this article. On reflection, I wish I had reread it during the swine flu episode in 1976. Certainly Francis’s lecture, and his conclusions and speculations about the mysteries of 1918 influenza, should temper our strategies for coping with a possible human pandemic arising, like a PHOENIX, from the current influenza epidemic in Asian chickens.”

The uncertainty that surrounds any response to a microbial outbreak, the “fog of epidemics,” is analogous to the fog of war, of which historians speak .

The Fog of War: Uncertainty
Where is the enemy?
What is his strength?
What counterattack?

The Fog of Epidemics: Uncertainty
Where is the microbe?
How many; how virulent; how communicable?
What counterattack?

Perceived Miscalculations
1975 Swine flu outbreak
Response too rapid
1981 HIV/AIDS occurrence
Response too slow

Notice the Fog of War and Epidemics merge in this *novel* and very pathogenic “game”.

The Fog of War

One can compare the above with Robert McNamara’s eleven life lesson’s during his tenure in Department of Defense:

1. Empathize with your enemy
2. Rationality will not save us
3. There’s something beyond one’s self
4. Maximize efficiency
5. Proportionality should be a guideline in war
6. Get the data
7. Belief and seeing are often both wrong
8. Be prepared to reexamine your reasoning
9. In order to do good, you may have to engage in evil
10. Never say never
11. You can’t change human nature

Gambling is the wagering of something with material value, such as an asset, on an EVENT with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional assets and/or material goods. Typically, the outcome of the wager is evident within a short period of time. Gaming typically refers to something permit by the LAW and is commonly known as gambling.

Our society has embraced fantasy and with it the people become “actors” in a fantasy play that may or may not be reality. Gamer’s can be MMORPG-Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing assuming fictional roles and interact with each other in a virtual world. Or the game may take place as RPG in which actors assume fictional roles with no way to interact aside from the game. Training of government employees and volunteers utilize table top training or gaming to prepare for various hazards.

There are three variables common to all forms of gambling:

• How much is being wagered, the initial stake (in money or material goods).
• The predictability of the event.
• The odds agreed between the two (or more) parties to the wager. The odds are arranged in favor of the house.
• The expected value, positive or negative, is a mathematical calculation using these three variables.

Studies show people who participate in like any behavior which involves variation in brain chemistry, can become a psychologically addictive and harmful behavior in some people.

The process has taken some time to evolve.  Here is study from Taiwan in 2004 with the influenza sequencing.

Are government officials READY for a pandemic?

YES!

For the tip of a biological iceberg: LINK Here

For years the infrastructure has been developed, well exercised, tested, and is now ready.  What event will be the ONE that will go live?  Only the actors at the top know that but it appears as though the timing is close as all the ducks are in a row.  Those who stand to gain from a mass population culling are ready to save the planet with their insidious drama.  As we have learned from the Fog of War though the ambiguity of their plan may well go awry from their anticipated or wagered outcome.

Are you ready for the pandemic?

Persons whose hearts are hardened are responsible for events which will unfold and they will be punished, measure for measure.  It is critical that your heart remain sensitive and repentant towards your Creator.  If you resist to be teachable then your heart may be hardened for you as in years past.  A heart once hardened effectively impairs your plague ridden decision making processes.

It is comforting to know that only the Finger of God can transfer and create Ex Nihilo Yesh Mai-Ayin, something from nothing.  So while those who think they are creating something *novel* are mere puppets in the hands of the Divine Author.

Plagues of any sort as you saw above clearly indicate a strategy of a general laying siege to a city or population.  Wild beasts will rob you of ownership of your own land to an existence of a insecure stranger.  Greed and deceit that were enjoyed in countries will now succumb to their immoral fruit.  Animals of the wild and human form will not fear “man” as they were created to do as humans sink into their animistic nature.  As plagues continue (which has been promised) the plagues will rob you of your possession’s your sense of superiority and reduce you to lowly submission.  The plagues will also cause you and your loved ones physical suffering.

As the gods of this world are abolished so too is their coinage.  Be prepared for this eventuality.

Pestilence causes awareness of the distinctions between good and evil.  At the opening ceremony of Plum Island bio weapons facility a USDA scientist stated,

Our plans for the future must include an ever-abundant supply of food if we want our people to be strong and our nation to endure.” Science will make the difference in the battle between Good and Evil. The crown jewel of this blossoming, futuristic agricultural empire will be Plum Island.”  Simply put science will not determine the outcome of the battle between Good and Evil, that alone, only God can do.

We will witness some unusual mixing of substances and that which is not to be mingled.  Do not fear, but be comforted that you are witnessing what has never been upon this earth nor will be again.  Much as a mother in labor the outcome if one fears God, is blessed and rewarded.  For those who believe in God and His Son, Jesus, will find themselves in a protective abode.

While the lingering prediction foretold by the pundits may appear troubling it is actually a blessing in disguise.  If all the pestilence and plagues hit at one time humans would universally not be able to absorb such a creation cognitively, emotionally, and practically.  Suddenness breeds crises that one is not able to endure.  This psychological upheaval can be endured when the crises gradually increase.

Understand that the upswing in “volunteerism” is dangerous, very dangerous.  Our country is flirting with a policy of slavery once again.  Slavery is dehumanizing and is a stain on the human soul.  Gods people are to be strangers with our own customs, Set Apart, and model citizens.  But we have a *change* and we will soon see murderous racial laws and sweeping legislation legalizing slavery in the name of volunteerism.  You will be asked to volunteer your talents, your body and your information for the “good of the society”.  Human beings are created in the image of God and slavery stands, “directly opposite to the path of creation and is the antithesis of God’s purpose for humanity,” says R’ Aviner, who further states, “Enslavement constitutes a perversion of creation and the enslavement removes his fundamental image of God and his ability to be free“.  Subjugation turns a human being from subject to object, from chief to chattel.”  The legal foundations for this have already been achieved.  In Washington State a farmer who does not agree to have his asetts inspected, tested, vaccinated, and electronically identified is considered a menace to society and the property is quarantined and depopulated (killed or culled).  We will see this policy expand as pestilence hits our land.  You discover conflict within yourself as compliance goes against your moral and ethical standards.

While the tidal wave of plagues comes upon the earth the evildoers will be punished for ruining the world, and those who repent and find refuge in God will gain access to redress for the harm done to them.  That is true hope and change.  “In Egypt He wrought miracles for you and your eyes saw it.”  The great trials (ha-massoth) which thine eyes saw, what is the force of ha-massoth?  It implies that the plagues weakened (me-massoth) the bodies of the Egyptians.  What is the meaning of the signs?  The plagues became engraven on their bodies, and the wonders deceived them.  [Midrash Rabbah Devarim VII:6]  It goes back to the duties of the heart to stand firm against what is coming against us with courage, and not allowing the plagues or their mark to be engraven on our bodies.

Take courage as we face these days head on, living in reality.  Resist escaping into the fantasy world that has been created to enslave us.  Look up, because we are sure to see some great and marvelous times.

You saw it first as the graphic Stamping Out Manual, http://www.fao.org/docrep/004/y0660e/Y0660E00.htm, which describes in  explicit detail the gruesome task killing and disposing of animal life.  Now Washington State, following in the footsteps of the UN, have adopted this manual for themselves after making it illegal to dispose of an animal in traditional and time-honored ways.

The WSDA is always seeking ways to become the middle-man so that they can extract a fee-for-service and have authority over your absolute-right-of-property.
