The Pandemic, Human Survival and Nefarious Plans of the Left.

We listen to the left as they wax ‘concerned’ about suffering, disease and other social ills that they blame mostly on the US. Mostly, we would presume that they are doubtless genuine in their views as they do have social programs across the globe to ‘help’ people in many lands. So, when we listen to government officials who tell us they are doing ‘everything the can’ or offer another hackneyed phrase  in substitute we are prone to give their statement some credence if not our full attention or, frequently,  a rounding applause for their intent.

The issue becomes a bit more somber when we look at certain diseases, their eradications or cures and certain political elements that direct policy in ostensibly keeping us in good health around the globe. From personal experience, my people founded Bakersfield in the 1870s and an earthquake changed the course of the Kern River and swamped their ranch. Mosquitoes swarmed that year and malaria broke out and the attack was so severe that they were forced to move to Oregon for a while. Malaria was and still is a major killer in the world, but in California the Mosquito Abatement people came to our place in the San Joaquin Valley in the 50s to spray with DDT.  Apparently, all malaria cases from that point forward were imported in some fashion.[1]This treatment ended malaria in California in my area but the treatment in many parts of the world using DDT was terminated because of some rants from a mental case known as Rachel Carson.[2]  The threat was that bird eggs would go soft or whatnot so DDT was banned. The 1919 flu killed nearly a million people and the government looked for ways to vaccinate the population against such a recurrence. In 1968 the Hong Kong flu hit California very hard, but I had been vaccinated in the Navy that year and lived in Salinas, California in the John Street apartments building that experienced an almost 100% infection rate. I was the only person out of 1500 who was not shivering and wearing a blanket in the 90 degree heat in the summer of 1968. If the Navy had the vaccine then why didn’t the government expand this to the general public??

In my research in pharmacology at Yale Medical School in the early 70s the question of mass vaccinations was addressed in many seminars leading to the conclusion that this was a bad idea.  In 1976 I was vaccinated in New Jersey when the swine flu broke out[3] and escaped infection. Soon after the vaccinations started three old people died of a complication from the vaccine called of Guillain-Barré syndrome.[4] The total vaccinated up to that point was 40 million with a lost of less than 1 per 10 million. The process was halted.  Apparently, the notion that we must offer medicine with no risk to the patient seems to deviate with our policy to treat AIDS patients with deadly chemicals that are known to have toxic side effects. This all leads to confusion in which we mix the fate of bird eggs and the fate of innocents during an epidemic with various concoctions, feathers and drums and thrust the level of decisions to a state of mystification.

In the current 2009 panic, the Mexican swine flu virus appears to be going into pandemic stage with no attempt to stop travel to the US from Mexico although other states monitor visitors with infrared cameras and such to detect persons with fever. We don’t have a vaccine for this flu variety, but might be able to make one by next November when it will probably hit again. We do have some rather quasi-effective anti viral drugs that must be taken early. The disease apparently has a 5-7 day incubation period, which defeats that measure.

Is there any reason to think that the US government is NOT trying everything they can to protect us? Yes, there is if you look at the history. Political movements across the planet frequently merge into vast integrated machines that take a firm stance on health policy that derives from some political vector. The amount of money spent on AIDS research during the Clinton Administration, for example, far exceeded what was spent on heart disease research although no more than 800,000 had AIDS in the US and about half of them eventually died. We were told, without basis, that AIDS was a pandemic, or would soon be and we must throw all our resources into solving the problem.[5] We hear this about Global Warming now morphed into Global Cooling or Climate Change or whatever[6] and the urgent need to change our society to avoid calamity. We lose more people to heart disease every year than all lost to AIDS. Politics is the difference here. AIDS is an elective disease and malaria is not. Neither is swine flu, but where is the money spent? AIDS was never a pandemic in the US.

Returning to the malaria follies, we can then ask the following similar political AIDS-influenced question: why are be not spraying with DDT in all of Africa when it will certainly eradicate the anopheles mosquito and end malaria? The answer may be the need for population control.[7]  Is it really necessary to reduce the UK’s population down to 30 million, a 50% cut?[8]

From this link:

“Many experts believe that, since Europeans and Americans have such a lopsided impact on the environment, the world would benefit more from reducing their populations than by making cuts in developing countries.”-- From The Sunday Times March 22, 2009

UK population must fall to 30m, says Porritt by Jonathan Leake and Brendan Montague.

If we work with people to solve this predicament by providing nets and other partial solutions to such problems then we can have a massive body count and still say we ‘did everything we could.’  I think this is now a cliché.  Here somebody wants to whack half the Brits for the sake of the carbon dioxide levels with no scientific proof that this is a problem. Many think their ‘economic survival is at stake.[9] This political thinking surpasses Dr. Goebbels in several ways.

I was unfortunate enough to have spent a week in a run-down military barracks  about 20 feet from the jungle with open windows and no doors at US Naval Subic Bay in the Philippine Islands starting in August of 1966 and the first night was spent sans net. The Navy did not supply nets, they came from a form of ‘house boy’ and shoe shine person who did business there. I had hundreds of bites by the next morning. I felt like a pin cushion. The second night I had a big net and slept in a bottom bunk with the net suspended from the wires on the bunk above but the little buggers found ways to get through the barrier. They hover around the bed like little helicopters and wait for an opening and then dart in for some juicy blood. I had a dozen bites every morning no matter what I did with the net. This leads me to think that nets to prevent death from malaria in Africa may not be practicable as spraying with DDT. They are probably a futile political gesture. The Navy could have sprayed the jungle near the base and eliminated malaria, but maybe they did as I did not catch the disease.

This fear may be followed up and analyzed in more detail by wondering if the Obama Administration is really trying to stop this Mexican swine flu pandemic with all the tools they have. We have decided not to close our borders. We don’t have enough antiviral mendicants to make a difference in any pandemic so sending a small amount to Mexico will only wind up in the bodies of the political types. The salient fact is that we do not know the future of influenza but if the virus waxes virulent and gets a kill ratio of say 30% on its infected victims then we are in for a panic as well as a pandemic.  As with the evident ho-hum attitude over the deaths in Africa and Asia from malaria and other diseases is contrasted with the frantic effort to spend all for the  gays for their political support then we must be come suspicious. Global warming, being the farce that is on a scientific basis, is a potent political vector and if a billion or so souls died in the current flu pandemic wouldn’t that be a fortunate outcome for the Greens? Would carbon emissions decrease and satisfy their demands?

Let us be very deliberate in our thinking and realize that some political force somewhere in the world may decide that certain US citizens are expendable and could die in an influenza pandemic and satisfy some urgent political problems such as population growth or other factors related to eugenics. Some politicians chose to not address the major killer of US citizens [heart disease] and focused ‘research’ on the AIDS problem. Do they have some other designs for us? Many leftists think we are Nazis or worse.

We are not yet in a mode where we can trust the Obama administration on several topics such as the bailout monies and TARP, massive national debt that we cannot sustain, wild spending exceeding all we have spent since George Washington, illegal aliens in the voter booth, crime and more and to this list we must, as a precaution, include the possibility that in a pandemic we may be sectored by leftist political metrics and left to die thus solving a few political problems even if they are imaginary. If England’s population can be truncated by 50% to help out Mother Nature then one way to help her out is let white conservatives die in a pandemic in the US.  Capitalists produce too much carbon dioxide—and that is clear.

Think about this.
