Thousands of Man Made Mosquitos released

By Shenali Waduge
        Not many would think or accept that the AIDS virus was a man-made creation. Similarly, the swine flu, anthrax and various other pandemic flu have their origins in laboratories meaning they have been created by man.
         We are slowly witnessing another epidemic of sorts in the dengue fever which causes flu-like symptoms but eventually leads to death if not treated in time. Unfortunately, there is no real treatment for dengue. When other flu and virus’s have been created it should come as no surprise to treat dengue as a biowar weapon as well. Whether it is a man-made virus or not, dengue has become a threat to people around the world.
          To justify the reasoning that dengue is more than just a natural virus a look at declassified documents is the best option. Declassified documents in 1956 and 1958 reveal that the US army let loose swarms of specially bred mosquitoes in Savannah, Georgia and Avon Park, Florida (Carver Village was exclusively Black populated) to check whether these insects could be used as a biological weapon. The residents suffered from fevers, bronchitis, typhoid, encephalitis, stillbirths and even death. The Aedes Aegypti type is a perfect carrier of dengue fever. Is it a surprise that Cuba accuses US of targeting tobacco crops using blue mold, sugar cane crops using cane smut, livestock using African swine fever and Cuban population through dengue fever. In Nicaragua too in 1985 dengue fever struck affecting half of Managua and not surprisingly it was the first epidemic in the country.
Ironically, the US in 1972 signed the Biological Weapons Convention and President Nixon had ordered Pentagon to stop producing biological weapons in 1969 – obviously the Presidential directive was not followed. Despite signing the Convention the US or rather its intelligence has been toying with different types of bio-chemical “weaponry” – Ebola, Sarin VX nerve gas, Mandrax, deadly lethal injection drugs – scoline and tubarine, paratyphoid, salmonella, cholera, anthrax, smallpox, highly potent CR tear gas and dengue fever.
          The ugly truth is that the powerful Governments of the world are all connected with global multinational companies and invisible people who fund the atrocities that take place around the world. Every time a health epidemic arises it means big business for the world’s pharmaceutical companies – they get to profit from the drugs/vaccines/injections etc used to counter the epidemic. It’s an ugly circle and not many would like to reveal the truth of how things actually work.
          A UK lab (Oxitec) has released large numbers of genetically modified mosquitoes to combat dengue fever In 2009, the first set of genetically modified mosquitoes were released on Grand Cayman, an island in the Caribbean. In 2010, 3million genetically modified mosquitoes were released. The catch is that the release was done in secret. This certainly raises the question as to what right scientists have to release creatures into the air that feed upon humans. The GM-mosquitoes have already been released in Malaysia, Brazil, Panama, Singapore, India, Thailand and Vietnam.
       But concerns have been raised as to how the Living Modified Organism has been created, about the sources of the molecular marker and the “lethal” gene that will make the offspring of the LMO and female Aedes aegypti die? The concerns also cover the environmental and health consequences arising from horizontal gene transfer as well as concerns related to fogging after the release which means spraying communities and environment with poisonous pesticides which is likely to result in various health hazards for humans.
          What is never answered is that the genetically modified female mosquito can still bite humans which means that the proteins meant to kill their own larvae might get injected to human bodies and what would that mean to the human organism?
         Returning to the involvement of US in biological war-fare and low-tech experiments, the following list shows exactly what the US has been up to.

CDC Denies Zombies hints at Solanum

                  Despite a burgeoning obsession with zombies in the entertainment world, which includes the widely acclaimed AMC series, The Walking Dead, starring Andrew Lincoln, the novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith, and the upcoming film, World War Z, starring Brad Pitt and Matthew Fox (based on the Max Brooks book), as well as real-life recent cannibal attacks in Miami and Maryland, the Centers for Disease Control is officially declaring that zombies do not exist.
              "CDC does not know of a virus or condition that would reanimate the dead (or one that would present zombie-like symptoms)," David Daigle of the CDC wrote to the Huffington Post. This means that the so-called Ataxic Neurodegenerative Satiety Deficiency Syndrome and other such fictional triggers to zombie-like behavior, are, in fact, just that — fictional. "Films have included radiation as well as mutations of exiting conditions such as prions, mad-cow disease, measles, and rabies," to be responsible for zombie outbreaks, Daigle wrote. But, no zombies themselves.
World War Z, which blames the zombie apocalypse on the incurable Solanum virus, is set to hit theaters in June 2013.

Frankfurt Germany Protesters

Throughout the eurozone debt crisis, the European Central Bank has sought to exude self-confidence. But last month, top ECB policy makers had to pack their bags and leave town.
The cause was not political turmoil in Greece or worries about banks elsewhere in the eurozone. Protests by German radicals on the doorstep of its Frankfurt headquarters threatened to take a violent turn and the police had sealed off the city centre. A conference marking the departure of José Manuel González-Páramo as ECB executive board member was moved to a hotel at the airport, safely on the city’s borders.

As the ECB has learnt, Frankfurt has a – perhaps surprising – tradition for political radicalism and demonstrations. When the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations spread, Frankfurt was a natural focus within Germany, and the Occupy Frankfurt camp outside the ECB building became a much-photographed emblem of the eurozone debt crisis.
As the crisis has escalated, Frankfurt has become a stronghold for movements such as Attac, which campaigns against “neoliberal” globalisation and for the regulation of financial markets and for a financial transaction tax.
Both history and geography have played a role. In the 1960s and 1970s, Frankfurt was a leftwing bastion of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the German socialist students union, the student movement that was ejected from the SPD in 1961 because of its radicalism, which led anti-authoritarian protests. That provided a contrast to the many US troops stationed in the region.
Frankfurt was also home to IG Metall, the powerful engineering sector trade union. Providing brain power was the so-called “Frankfurt school” of critical, left-orientated thought at Frankfurt university’s institute of social research.
As a result, Frankfurt ranked second only to Berlin as a German centre for the global protests of 1968. “Berlin was the wild, impulsive centre, Frankfurt was more the intellectual centre,” says Gerd Koenen, then a Frankfurt student and today a historian.
Frankfurt’s small size actually helped. With protests along just a few streets, Frankfurt radicals could cause widespread disruption. “Whenever there was a demonstration, half of the city was paralysed. It was a relatively simple method,” recalls Mr Koenen.
German radicalism had a dark side in the 1970s – a time when Frankfurt was going through a development spurt, with a boom in high-rise office block construction. Frankfurt provided the backdrop to some of the tensest scenes in the country’s battle with the Red Army Faction, the leftwing terror group.
From the mid-1970s, house sit-in protests developed into an alternative movement, with its own newspapers, publishers and printers, which addressed increasingly environmental themes and gained ground within the newly emerging Green party.
“The goal was to give up the extra-parliamentary protests and advance parliamentary representation,” says Wolfgang Kraushaar, historian at Hamburg’s Institute for Social Research.
In the 1980s, Joschka Fischer, a prominent Frankfurter who became German foreign minister in the late 1990s, was among the Green party’s “realos” – or realists – who led the struggle against the Green party’s hard-left “fundis” or fundamentalists. In much of the city, the Greens remain strong and are almost the political mainstream rather than a fringe grouping.
With the rise of the Occupy Frankfurt movement, the city is regaining its radical edge – although for different reasons. “It is easy to say that today’s protest generation are standing on the shoulders of their predecessors,” says Mr Kraushaar.
“That is not completely wrong, especially as within the Occupy Frankfurt scene there are people who were counted among the activists 40 years ago. But this is superficial. You cannot draw a direct line between the Occupy movement and the 1968s. There are significant differences in regard to their form and goals.”
Whereas the 1968-ers were ambitious and idealistic in their radicalism, movements such as Attac are arguably more pragmatic, and focused on seemingly technical issues such as bank capital ratios or financial supervision. “You don’t really win many people over with ‘smash the system’,” explains Sybille von Foelkersamb, a member of Attac Frankfurt’s co-ordinating committee.
The most recent demonstrations attracted participants of all ages rather than being essentially student led. They were also focused on attacking the banking system – hardly a feature of protests in the 1960s – which explains why Frankfurt, as Germany’s financial centre, was the focus of demonstrations. The city’s mid-German location makes it a natural choice for protesters as the country’s high-speed train network means it can be reached within a few hours from most parts of Germany.
Frankfurt’s authorities were lenient for some time. The Occupy Frankfurt camp in a small park next to the ECB headquarters building – a 1970s high-rise in the centre of the financial district – remained throughout the bitter winter months. But in May the city’s authorities worried it would be used as a refuge by violent demonstrators and closed it down. A series of demonstrations intended to “Blockupy” the city centre were banned.
The result was a nervous stand off in May. For four days, the banking quarter of Frankfurt, where the ECB is located, was sealed off and some 5,000 police were deployed to stop any attempt to flout the bans. The result was an eerie calm, which led to criticism of the police for their apparent overreaction.
Organisers concluded they had made their point. “The police did the job for us – the banks were more or less blocked,” says Ms von Foelkersamb. On the final day some 25,000 demonstrators took part in a mostly peaceful – and authorised – march through the town.
The demonstrations are far from over. The next battles could be about the future of the camp outside the ECB building, which returned to life after the protests. The debates about the future of banking remain as animated as ever, which will also keep the city on edge. “OK, Frankfurt is sleepy, but it is where things are happening,” says Ms von Foelkersamb.
