Suspected Hemorrhagic Pneumonia Outbreak Hits Ukraine
14 November 2009
By Stephen
Lendman
On October 29, the Australian web site zik.com.ua
reported that:
"Western Ukraine was hit by a severe epidemic of
unidentified influenza, tentatively diagnosed by
doctors as viral pneumonia. The number of dead has
climbed dramatically. Doctors advise Western
Ukrainians to stay home and use preventive medicine."
On October 30, Jane Burgermeister's theflu.com
reported that:
"More than 30 people have died in the Ukraine as a
result of a mysterious new virus that has an affinity
for the lungs," according to Swiss reports. Ukraine's
Health Ministry said the virus' origin is unknown and
showed "no signs of mutating to become more virulent."
So far, 40,000 people were reported sick and 951
hospitalized.
On October 30, healthfreedomalliance.org reported that
Ukraine's Health Minister, Vasyl Knyazevych, said two
laboratories diagnosed 11 of 33 samples tested as
"highly influenza A/H1N1." As a result, he considered
declaring a nationwide quarantine, even though western
areas alone were affected.
Since October 19, 30 deaths, including one child, from
"acute respiratory infections," were reported, at
first called SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome,
a serious form of pneumonia caused by a virus).
Influenza A virus affects birds and some mammals like
pigs.
WTO Fear Mongering
The WTO says Swine Flu is similar to seasonal strains.
Most cases are mild, and many people recover unaided.
Yet it called the virus "unstoppable" and, on June 11,
declared its highest phase 6 alert, saying: "The world
is now at the start of the 2009 influenza pandemic."
On July 13, it stopped just short of mandating mass
vaccinations to halt the pandemic's spread.
On its November 1 "Pandemic (H1N1) 2009" update, it
said "more than 199 countries and overseas
territories/communities have reported laboratory
confirmed cases of pandemic influenza H1N1 2009,
including over 6,000 deaths."
On November 3, it reported the outbreak in Ukraine,
"confirmed (as) H1N1 (based on) samples taken from
patients in two of the most affected regions," and
concluded that "most (Ukraine influenza) cases are
caused by the H1N1 virus.
Infectious disease expert, Dr. Donald Lau, disagrees,
saying:
"The statistical probability of this being the same
H1N1 virus (is) infinitesimally small." He believes a
highly virulent new strain is to blame. Public health
authority, Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz sees a deadly
connection between governments and the drug cartel
over dangerous, toxic vaccines. On You Tube, he
recently warned that:
"These vaccinations contain highly unstable viruses
that easily mutate, because they are 'live active'
laboratory mutants that are being
administered....People shed these 'live' viruses up to
three weeks following vaccination. That means if you
haven't been vaccinated, and you get near someone who
has and then sneezes, you can get their H1N1
laboratory infection."
He explained that anyone contracting H1N1, from
vaccinations or other Swine Flu-infected persons,
risks combining it with other internal or
environmental viruses, creating a lethal mix that can
kill. He expressed great concern about vaccines used
to transmit dangerous viruses, capable of mutating
into deadly ones, believes this may be happening in
Ukraine, and thinks America and other nations may be
next.
Ukraine Reports of Overhead Aerosol Spraying
On October 31, Kiev newspaper editors got dozens of
calls about light planes doing aerosol spraying during
the day. In refuting the claims, the district's
Emergency Response office said "no permission had been
granted for small aviation aircraft to fly within the
city limits." Yet eye-witness accounts from Lviv,
Ternopil, and other Ukraine cities said the same
thing.
On November 8, the South African web site fto.co.za
reported that last June 26:
"Suspicious aircraft were forced to land. A US
operated (Russian-made long-range heavy transport)
AN-124 changed its call sign from civilian to military
which then triggered a response from the IAF (Indian
Air Force) upon entering Pakistani air space (forcing)
the plane to land in Mumbai while (a) second one was
forced down by Nigerian fighter jets that also
arrested the crew."
"According to reports, China's People's Liberation
Army Air Force contacted the Indian and Nigerian
intelligence officials about the presence of these US
operated Ukrainian aircraft amidst growing concern
that the United States was spreading 'biological
agents' in the Earth's atmosphere, which some Chinese
officials believed to be an attempt to (commit) mass
genocide via the spread of H1N1 swine flu."
These aircraft "were carrying 'waste disposal' systems
that could spray up to 45,000kg (nearly 100,000
pounds) of aerial type mist from sophisticated....nano
pipes" in the planes' wings - called chemtrails.
"Then last week, (aircraft) sprayed (an unknown)
substance over Ukraine days before the (mysterious)
plague outbreak."
Quarantine and Martial Law Declared
On October 30, president Viktor Yushchenko quarantined
nine regions, ordered mobile military hospitals
established throughout the country, and was expected
to declare martial law. Reports from western Ukraine
said a "severe outbreak of UNIDENTIFIED Influenza,
(is) suspected by doctors to be a form of viral
pneumonia."
On November 4, in a nationwide address, Yushchenko
cited:
-- an "emergency epidemic situation in the country,"
caused by "infections of viral origin, including
A/H1N1 flu (that are) rapidly spreading across
Ukraine;"
-- "People are dying; the epidemic is killing
doctors;"
-- "three pathogens of viral infections came to
Ukraine at the same time: two of them are seasonal flu
and the third is the A/H1N1; according to virologists,
such a combination of infections due to mutation may
produce a new, even more aggressive virus;"
-- "It is generally known that the only way to prevent
any infection is vaccination;" Dr. Viera Scheibner,
the world's foremost vaccine expert, calls it the
worst way as vaccines often cause the diseases they're
designed to prevent;
-- "in early October," it was known that "viral
infections in the west of the country" were spreading;
-- "The current Constitution after alterations in 2004
makes the Government solely responsible for conducting
state healthcare policy....(by) my decree I put" the
National Security and Defense Council (in charge) of
decision-making;"
-- "Failure to comply with its orders will immediately
result in application to the law enforcement
authorities."
In other words, Yushchenko declared martial law. He
also ordered a crackdown on political protests, the
arrest of public health officials opposed to mass
Swine Flu vaccinations and quarantines, arrests of
anyone not complying, and a ban on all infection
medicines except Swine Flu vaccines.
By November 6, Deputy Health Minister, Zinovy Mytnyk,
said "633,877 people (were) suffering from flu and
acute respiratory infections," and "95" had died.
On November 7, healthfreedomalliance.org updated the
totals to "871,037 Influenza/ARI (acute respiratory
infection) cases, 39,603 hospitalized, and 135 deaths,
and asked if Baxter released a bioweapon in Ukraine,
saying "Evidence appears to suggest" it. It cited a
February 24 bloomberg.com report that "Baxter Sent
Bird Flu Virus to European Labs by Error (containing)
contaminated (virus) samples...."
The problem was discovered when inoculated ferrets in
a Czech lab died. Austrian health minister, Sigrid
Rosenberger, confirmed that Baxter supplied batches
"infected with a bird flu virus." Company
spokesperson, Christopher Bona, blamed "human error."
Others were skeptical, including Austrian journalist
Jane Burgermeister.
On June 10, she filed sweeping criminal charges with
the FBI in addition to earlier April 8 ones with the
Vienna State Prosecutor's Office against Baxter AG,
Baxter International and Avir Green Hill Biotechnology
AG, "for manufacturing, disseminating, and releasing a
biological weapon of mass destruction on Austrian soil
between December 2008 and February 2009 with the
intention of causing a global bird flu pandemic virus
and of intending to profit from that same pandemic in
an act that violates laws on international organised
crime and genocide."
Baxter operates Biosafety Level 3 (BLS-3) labs that
take strict precautions to assure against accidental
H3N2 (human influenza) and H5N1 (bird flu) co-mingling
contamination. Letting it happen suggests something
more nefarious than an accident.
BLS-3 personnel are trained in handling pathogenic and
potentially lethal agents and are supervised by
competent, experienced scientists. In addition, these
labs have specially engineered design features for
added safety.
By combining H3N2 and H5N1 viruses, "Baxter produced a
highly dangerous biological weapon with a 63 per cent
mortality rate. The H5N1 virus is restricted in its
human-to-human transmissibility, especially because it
is less airborne."
"However when....combined with seasonal flu viruses
(easily transmitted by air), a new flu virus is
created which is unknown to the human immune system
and which will have a severe impact on an unprotected
population. A deadly virus of this kind could spread
around the world in a short time and (potentially)
infect millions (or) even billions of people."
Baxter (via Avir) "distributed (72 kilos of)
contaminated (live bird flu) vaccines using false
concealment and false labels to 16 laboratories in
Austria and....other countries at the end of
January/beginning of February, potentially infecting
at least 36-37 laboratory staff, who (were) treated
preventively for bird flu and ordinary flu." On the
same day, 18 Avir employees were as well at Vienna's
Otto Wagner Hospital.
Burgermeister cited a Baxter-Avir 2006 contract with
Austria's Health Ministry for 16 million vaccine doses
in case a bird flu pandemic was declared. This
"laboratory incident shows that national and
international authorities are not able to fulfill
their obligations to ensure the safety of the Austrian
people," and indicates they engaged in a cover-up.
"If a pharmaceutical company can breach laws - and
almost trigger a bird flu pandemic, which (potentially
could spread worldwide) - without being made
accountable for it....then there is, de facto, no rule
of law on Austrian territory."
She also contends that Baxter's production system,
"namely, the use of 1200 liter bioreactors and vero
cell technology," meets "the technical criteria to be
classified as a secret dual purpose large-scale
bioweapon production facility (able to produce) a huge
amount of contaminated vaccine material....rapidly."
"If (this) material were added to the 1200 liter
bioreactors, it would replicate and infect the entire
batch of vaccine material in (it). Contaminated
material could (then) be distributed among sections of
the population using false labels and secretly marked
batches (able to) infect millions of people."
Burgermeister accused high-level Austrian Health and
other Ministry officials of knowledge and support of
this practice. Otherwise, controls would have
prevented it. In June, she named drug producers
Baxter, Novartis and Sanofi Aventis; world agencies,
including the WHO, UN, and CDC; and high-level
officials in Austria, other European countries, and
America.
Did Baxter Release a Bioweapon in Ukraine?
Baxter has a facility in Ukraine. Given the above
evidence, it may be behind the current outbreak. A
November 1 David Rothscum infowars.com article
headlined: "Has Baxter International released a
biological weapon," in citing an earlier Huffington
Post report on a man named Joseph Moshe, a Mossad
biological warfare expert. True or not, he warned, on
an August radio program, about "a biological
weapon....being made by Baxter International('s
Ukraine facility) that would be spread through vaccine
and would cause a plague upon its release." Having
reported this two months before the outbreak lends
credence to his story.
In August, Ukraine was almost influenza free. On
October 30, earthtimes.org said only two cases of
Swine Flu had been reported. According to fto.co.za,
on March 26, reports were that "thousands of
Ukrainians refused" to be vaccinated, because of fears
about "diphtheria, mumps, polio, hepatitis B,
tuberculosis, (and) whooping cough among others.
Health officials said (this) could lead to disease
outbreaks...." Perhaps unleashing a "biological
weapon" is how to convince them and millions
elsewhere.
Rothscum confirmed Moshe's credentials, noting that
"massive numbers of microbiologists have been dying
bizarre deaths." Among them:
-- Stephen Lagakos, Professor of Biostatistics and
AIDS researcher at Harvard's School of Public Health,
died in an October auto collision;
-- Malcolm Casadaban, reknown molecular geneticist,
died of plague in September;
-- Wallace Pannier, noted germ warfare scientist, died
in August of respiratory failure;
-- August "Gus" Watanabe, former Eli Lilly and Company
Executive Vice President of Science and Technology and
former head of its Research Laboratories, died of
apparent self-inflicted wounds from a .38-caliber
handgun; a note left behind cited depression over his
daughter's death;
-- Caroline Coffey, Cornell University post-doctoral
biomedicine researcher, died in June from massive cuts
to her throat; and
-- Nasser Talebzadeh Ordoubadi, a Mind-Body-Quantum
medicine pioneer and discoverer of an antitoxin
treatment for bioweapons, died in February of
"suspicious" causes.
On November 7, theflucase.com asked:
Is the Ukraine outbreak "the plague? A mutated virus?
Or is the plague the cover for introducing a mutated
virus?" Citing the South African web site fto.co.za.,
it wondered if the Ukraine Swine Flu strain "might
have mutated (to) pneumonic plague."
It reported Ukraine's Deputy Minister of Health saying
his nation has a different H1N1 strain than the rest
of the world because of how many were infected so
fast. Other officials disagree and suggest this one
may have mutated to something else because it "has a
much bigger rate of filling the lungs with
blood....The plague or virus in the Ukraine has 10
times the mortality rate (attributed to) normal swine
flu."
However, unconfirmed reports are that "people are
going on as normal....they also say this is fear
mongering" to promote voluntary vaccinations.
"Everyone is waiting for the gene sequences which will
confirm whether this has been hyped up, a real mutated
H1N1, or just bad (Ukraine) health services." Perhaps
exaggerated illness and death reports to stoke fear
and be a pretext for what followed.
Ukraine is now under martial law. Civil liberties are
suspended. By government edict, anyone may be
criminally prosecuted. Scheduled January elections may
be delayed or cancelled. Public demonstrations are
banned. Political opponents are prohibited from
traveling in quarantined areas. Borders are partially
closed. Mandated vaccinations are coming. WHO
fear-mongering is hyping the danger. A month before
the outbreak, it took part in a bioterrorism plague
exercise. On November 7, Lake of the Hills, IL police
conducted their own against pneumonic plague as part
of the McHenry County Department of Health's emergency
planning.
Burgermeister suggests that Baxter, the:
"WTO and the international corporate crime syndicate
that funds them may have decided they could go ahead
with their plan to trigger a pandemic in Europe and
the USA because the public awareness of the dangers of
the vaccine has become too great, not least as a
result of WHO and Baxter being caught contaminating 72
kilos of vaccine material with the live bird flu virus
in February."
Opposition to Vaccinations in Europe
Across the continent, opposition is widespread. Few
are showing up to get it. On November 7 in Paris, a
public demonstration against them was held. As of
November 5, less than 0.1% of the French population
was inoculated despite a mass vaccination campaign.
90% of Greek health workers oppose them. Reports from
Portugal say vaccine centers are nearly empty, and
doctors and nurses won't take them. Sources expect a
"revolution" if they're mandated.
A mid-October Der Spiegel article reported an "open
rebellion" among general medical professionals and
child physicians across Germany over dangerous Swine
Flu vaccines. Dieter Ludwig, drug commission chairman
of the German medical profession, said health
authorities colluded with drug companies to promote
them.
In Denmark, most public officials and healthcare
workers won't take them, citing the danger and saying
H1N1 is no different from seasonal flu. Throughout
Scandinavia, sentiment is the same with up to 75%
opposition. In Sweden, as few as several thousand have
gotten them. Across the continent also, in the
Netherlands, Spain, Belgium and elsewhere. Also large
segments of the US, Canadian and UK populations voice
strong opposition. Open protests are occurring in
Austria. In other countries as well. Millions know the
toxicity and won't touch them. Ukraine's outbreak may
be a counteroffensive to force them, first there, then
globally.
Ukraine Outbreak Spreads
On November 6, innworldreport.net headlined,
"Pneumonic Plague Outbreak in China Follows Outbreak
in Ukraine." The town of Ziketan (population 10,000)
reported two deaths and a dozen others infected. The
"area inside a 17-mile radius" was quarantined to
contain it. The "highly contagious disease, one of the
most virulent and deadly diseases on earth, (is)
usually fatal within 24 hours. It attacks the lungs
and kills nearly everyone who catches it unless
treated rapidly with antibiotics."
On the same day, Belarus President Alexander
Lukashenko called the panic over Swine Flu
artificially created by drug companies. He urged
people not to panic, and said authorities are
monitoring the situation in neighboring Ukraine. Ten
deaths were reported in the Minsk, "preceded by
flu-like symptoms."
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty disseminates US
propaganda in 20 countries, including Russia, Ukraine,
Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan. On November 4, it
headlined, "Swine Flu Fears Spread from Ukraine to
Afghanistan," then reported, true or false, incidences
showing up in Iran, Belarus, Turkmenistan, Serbia, and
other Balkan countries. "Afghanistan has declared a
nationwide public health emergency and closed all
educational institutes for three weeks."
On November 2, the Chinese web site sina.com reported
that authorities in a southeast Bulgarian district
declared an A/H1N1 epidemic, according to local media
accounts. The "sick rate" rose "to 200 per 10,000
people," and in some towns is approaching epidemic
levels. A later report said 210 per 10,000. Two deaths
were reported, and Bulgaria's chief health expert,
Tencho Tenev, said "at least two million Bulgarians,
or 30 percent of (the) population, could become
infected with the flu virus over the coming months."
On November 9, thebirdflupandemic.com headlined,
"Russia, Belarus and Bulgaria On The Verge Of A Flu
Epidemic As Cases In Ukraine Near 1 Million."
Same day Ukraine reports said 1,031,597 people are
sick with flu-like symptoms, 52,742 have been
hospitalized, and 174 people have died. On November 6,
Russia's Chief Health Official, Gennady Onishchenko,
said most regions in the country "are on the verge of
a flu epidemic."
"Disturbing reports are beginning to surface in
western Europe. In Austria, special army units based
in Korneuburg (where Baxter's facilities are located),
have been conducting pandemic emergency exercises and
quarantining patients in hospitals. Are they expecting
something to happen?"
WHO "Whole-of-Society Pandemic Readiness Guidelines
for Pandemic Preparedness and Response in the
Non-Health Sectors"
Prepared in April 2009, the same month Swine Flu was
reported in Mexico, it was revised in July and now
easily accessed coincidently with the Ukraine
outbreak. Its aim is:
"to prepare the whole of society, beyond the health
sector, for pandemic influenza....including public and
private sector organizations and essential services."
The flucase.com says it "outlines how WHO will take
over a country's essential services, including water
and sanitation; fuel and energy; food; health care;
telecommunications; finance; law and order; education;
and transportation under the pretext of a pandemic
emergency."
The "guidelines" state:
"National inter-ministerial pandemic preparedness
committees should map out the central government's
roles, responsibilities, and chain of command and
designate lead agencies," answerable to the WHO that's
perhaps enforceable during a "health emergency." It
may work like this.
Vaccine law attorney, Alan G. Phillips says:
"....underlying laws.... allow states to mandate
vaccines in an emergency....throw out exemptions,
(and) impose quarantines and isolation outside of our
homes."
US laws are similar. They can mandate vaccinations and
let states isolate and quarantine influenza victims if
authorities call the disease infectious and
life-threatening. Under the 2006 Public Readiness and
Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, the HHS Secretary
may declare any disease an epidemic or national
emergency requiring mandatory vaccinations,
quarantine, or other protective measures. It's a short
step to empowering WHO with authority over most
nations in short order.
Its "guidelines" also want Defense Ministries to
designate military assets to enforce vaccinations and
quarantines under pandemic conditions. They also say:
"Ministries of Justice should consider what legal
processes could be suspended during the pandemic and
make alternate plans to operate courts" while it
continues.
According to theflucase.com:
"leaked (French) documents show that the Minister of
Justice has ordered the suspension of the most basic
rights, and people can be incarcerated for up to six
months without having to appear before a judge in a
pandemic emergency."
Might America and other nations order similar measures
under a "pandemic emergency," real or bogus.
Internal 2006 IBM Document Reveals Advance Knowledge
of a Planned Pandemic
Titled, "Services & Global Procurement pan IOT Europe,
Pandemic Plan Overview," it was distributed to
upper-level management in France. It predicted a "100%
chance (of a) planned (pandemic) occurring within the
next 5 years," covering quarantines and operational
procedures to be taken after an official WTO
announcement. This document suggests what many believe
- that governments and the drug cartel, in collusion
with the WTO, orchestrated the current crisis,
choosing Ukraine as the lead target. The situation
there deserves close monitoring because of what may
happen globally.
Advance Pandemic Warning and Early Preparations
Replikins, Ltd. is a small Boston-based biotech firm
that "develops and markets....predictive products and
vaccines....based upon the company's discovery of
Replikins, a new group of peptides related to the
rapid replication function in viral and other diseases
(capable of) predicting the emergence of virulent
strains of particular diseases."
On April 7, 2008, a year before the reported Mexican
H1N1 outbreak, it published a "FluForecast" stating
the following:
"Replikins, Ltd. has found that the Replikin Count of
the H1N1 strain of influenza virus has recently
increased to 7.6 (plus/minus 1.4), its highest level
since the 1918 H1N1 pandemic....A rising Replikin
Count of a particular influenza strain, indicating the
rapid replication of the virus, is an early warning
which has been followed consistently by an outbreak of
a specific strain. The current increase appears to be
specific to H1N1; there was a concurrent 80% decline
in the Replikin Count of (seasonal) H3N2, for
instance."
"The current H1N1 appears to be rapidly replicating
simultaneously in the US and Austria....However, the
same virus replikin structures detected by FluForecast
software in all three previous pandemics, namely 1918
H1N1, 1957 H2N2, and 1968 H3N2, as well as in H5N1
(Avian Flu), have not yet been detected in the
currently evolving H1N1."
In an October 24, 2007 press release, the US Treasury
Department discussed the "preliminary results of the
industry-wide pandemic flu exercise....More than 2,700
organizations registered to participate anonymously
(which) began in September and ran for three weeks."
Involved were banks, insurance companies, securities
firms and exchanges, and state and federal regulators.
"The exercise simulated a pandemic wave with a peak
absenteeism rate of 49 percent....President Bush
directed Treasury in May 2006 to coordinate with the
banking and finance sector to better prepare its
response to a pandemic crisis."
On December 12, 2007, FEMA Region I (for New England)
hosted a joint federal-state exercise "to strengthen
contingency plans for an influenza pandemic. Operation
PANEX 07 is the first functional exercise of its type
in this country designed to determine best practices
for a coordinated multi-agency response to an
outbreak."
Participating agencies included the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), Health and Human Services
(HHS), and Defense (DOD) "in partnership with their
counterparts in the six New England states."
On July 28, 2009, CNN reported that the Pentagon will
"establish regional teams of military personnel to
assist civilian authorities in the event of a
significant outbreak of the H1N1 virus this fall,
according to Defense Department officials....The plan
calls for military task forces to work in conjunction
with (FEMA)."
Consider the implications. On October 23, Obama
declared a H1N1 national emergency. The Pentagon will
be in charge if conditions warrant it. Civil liberties
may be suspended. Martial law may be declared.
Mandatory toxic, dangerous vaccinations may be
ordered, known to cause auto immune diseases ranging
from annoying to debilitating to life-theatening. The
situation in Ukraine bears watching. It may signal
what's soon heading everywhere.
