One of the first scientists to properly analyze the genetic makeup of the so-called swine flu virus that emerged three weeks ago in Mexico and led to fears of a global pandemic states that the virus may have escaped from a laboratory.
“Adrian Gibbs, 75, who collaborated on research that led to the development of Roche Holding AG’s Tamiflu drug, said in an interview that he intends to publish a report suggesting the new strain may have accidentally evolved in eggs scientists use to grow viruses and drugmakers use to make vaccines,” reports Bloomberg News.
The World Health Organization received Gibbs’ report study last weekend and is now in the process of analyzing it.
“One of the simplest explanations is that it’s a laboratory escape,” said Gibbs, who has studied germ evolution for four decades, adding that the virus could have been released “accidentally” from a virus production facility.
“In addition, Gibbs said his research found the rate of genetic mutation in the new virus was about three times faster than that of the most closely related viruses found in pigs, suggesting it evolved outside of swine,” states the report.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were quick to deny Gibbs’ report, saying they found no evidence to verify his conclusions.
In our reports immediately following the swine flu outbreak, we speculated that the virus may have been created in a lab due to its highly synthetic nature, being a combination of several never-before-seen intercontinental human, avian and pig viruses from America, Europe and Asia.
As we reported in March, Baxter International, the same company chosen to make the swine flu vaccine, were caught distributing vaccines to 18 different labs in Europe that were tainted with the deadly avian flu virus.
Czech newspapers questioned whether the release was part of a deliberate conspiracy to provoke a pandemic.
In 2006 it was revealed that Bayer Corporation had discovered that their injection drug, which was used by hemophiliacs, was contaminated with the HIV virus. Internal documents prove that after they positively knew that the drug was contaminated, they took it off the U.S. market only to dump it on the European, Asian and Latin American markets, knowingly exposing thousands, most of them children, to the live HIV virus. Government officials in France went to prison for allowing the drug to be distributed. The documents show that the FDA colluded with Bayer to cover-up the scandal and allowed the deadly drug to be distributed globally. No Bayer executives ever faced arrest or prosecution in the United States.
In the UK, a 2007 outbreak of foot and mouth disease that put Britain on high alert has been originated from a government laboratory which is shared with an American pharmaceutical company, mirroring the deadly outbreak of 2001, which was also deliberately released.
Al Qaeda is so spooked by CIA drone attacks that Osama’s crew is staging spectacular bombings in Pakistan, in an attempt to get America to call off its unmanned attack fleet, former U.S. officials and counterterrror advisers say. And the CIA is apparently so spooked about the possibility of a withdrawal that they’re spilling details about their supposedly-secret drone strikes to the New York Times.
On April 19th, agency sources tell the paper, a CIA drone hit a truck parked inside an al Qaeda compound in Pakistan’s tribal province of South Waziristan. Packed with “high explosives, apparently to be used as a bomb,” the truck “erupted in a fireball” when it was struck. “A second, empty truck destroyed in the same attack may also have been there to be outfitted with explosives,” intelligence officials say. “In another significant attack, on April 29, missiles fired from a C.I.A. Predator killed Abu Sulayman al-Jazairi, an Algerian Qaeda planner who American intelligence officials say they believe helped train operatives for attacks in Europe and the United States.”
In other other words: Pay no attention to those reports of civilian casualties, like those reports of “25 bodies" in the latest unmanned attack. These drones are killing terrorists.
The Times goes on to report that “in meetings this past week in Washington, American and Pakistani officials discussed the possibility of limited joint operations with American Predator and Reaper drones. Under one proposal, the United States would retain control over the firing of missiles, but it would share with the Pakistani security forces some sophisticated imagery and communications intercepts that could be relayed to Pakistani combat forces on the ground.”
But according to Gen. David McKiernan, commander of coalition forces in Afghanistan, the U.S. military already shares its drone footage with the Pakistanis. “We exchange frequencies, we exchange intelligence, we have a Predator feed going down to the one [Afghanistan/Pakistan] border coordination center at Torkham Gate that’s looked at by the Pak military,” he said in November.
And according to the Wall Street Journal, the CIA is already sharing footage from its unmanned air force, too.
On Jan. 22, Pakistani paramilitary forces arrested Zabu ul Taifi, a Saudi national and alleged al Qaeda operative… [He] was located at a safe house in the Khyber Agency… through a combination of human intelligence from Pakistani agents, informants on the ground and aerial surveillance by U.S. drones.
Once authorities were confident Mr. Taifi was in the walled, mud compound, Pakistani paramilitary forces backed by helicopters grabbed him, the officer said. Throughout, Predator drones hovered overhead and would have attacked if Mr. Taifi or other suspects had tried to escape, the officer said. In all, Mr. Taifi and six other men — Afghans and Pakistanis — were nabbed in the raid.
That seems to be in direct contradiction to the Times report. Something’s not adding up here.
Meanwhile, Pakistani president Asif Ali Zadari keeps saying that he wants killer drones of his own. On Meet the Press yesterday, Zadari was asked if he considered the “drones that fire missiles and target Taliban” to be effective. The Pakistani’s answer: “I would consider them to be very effective if they were part of my arsenal. I’ve been asking for them, but I haven’t got a positive answer as yet. But I’m not giving up.”
Apparently not. According to Air Force Times, “Pakistan is working on its own Predator-like unmanned aerial vehicle,” or UAV.
The country’s air force and government-owned defense conglomerate, the National Engineering and Scientific Commission, are flight-testing a new-design aircraft to be equipped with a… laser designator and laser-guided missiles. The Burraq UAV is named for a winged horse creature in Islamic tradition, similar to Pegasus.
According to local news reports, Pakistan is focusing its unmanned aircraft efforts on upgrading various older UAVs with Chinese help.
But the sources note that no domestically produced UAV is large enough to heft both a missile and a targeting system. The military’s most capable UAV is the air force’s Selex Galileo Falco, which can laser-designate targets for other platforms but cannot deliver munitions.
UPDATE: IF you’re new to the killer drone world, this 60 Minutes segment, which aired last night, is a good primer.

Influential economists and industrialists were ordered to preserve Nazi power by creating European common market, documents show A writer who was collecting material for a fictional book based around the premise that top Nazis, seeking to preserve their power at the end of the second world war, conspired to create a Fourth Reich under the auspices of the European Union, actually discovered documents proving the plot to be true. In a Daily Mail piece, Adam Lebor reveals how he uncovered US Military Intelligence report EW-Pa 128, also known as The Red House Report, which details how top Nazis secretly met at the Maison Rouge Hotel in Strasbourg on August 10, 1944 and, knowing Germany was on the brink of military defeat, conspired to create a Fourth Reich - a pan-European economic empire based around a European common market. Top Nazi industrialists were ordered by SS Obergruppenfuhrer Dr Scheid to set up front companies abroad and pose as democrats in order to achieve economic penetration and lay the foundations for the re-emergence of the Nazi party. “The Third Reich was defeated militarily, but powerful Nazi-era bankers, industrialists and civil servants, reborn as democrats, soon prospered in the new West Germany. There they worked for a new cause: European economic and political integration,” writes Lebor. Wealthy Nazi industrialists like Alfried Krupp of Krupp Industries and Friedrich Flick, as well as front companies like BMW, Siemens and Volkswagen, set about the task of building a new pan-European business empire. According to historian Dr Michael Pinto-Duschinsky, an adviser to Jewish former slave labourers, “For many leading industrial figures close to the Nazi regime, Europe became a cover for pursuing German national interests after the defeat of Hitler….The continuity of the economy of Germany and the economies of post-war Europe is striking. Some of the leading figures in the Nazi economy became leading builders of the European Union.” Banking titan Hermann Abs, who joined board of Deutsche Bank during the rise of Nazis, also sat on the supervisory board of I.G. Farben, the company that made the Zyklon B gas used to kill concentration camp victims. “Abs was put in charge of allocating Marshall Aid - reconstruction funds - to German industry. By 1948 he was effectively managing Germany’s economic recovery,” writes Lebor. “Crucially, Abs was also a member of the European League for Economic Co-operation, an elite intellectual pressure group set up in 1946. The league was dedicated to the establishment of a common market, the precursor of the European Union.” The European League for Economic Co-operation developed policies for European integration that almost mirrored those proposed by Nazis just years previously. In his book “Europe’s Full Circle,” Rodney Atkinson provides a list of policies proposed by Nazis and their similarity to today’s European Union. “Is it possible that the Fourth Reich those Nazi industrialists foresaw has, in some part at least, come to pass?” asks Lebor. “These three typewritten pages are a reminder that today’s drive towards a European federal state is inexorably tangled up with the plans of the SS and German industrialists for a Fourth Reich - an economic rather than military imperium.” As we have highlighted in the past, Nazism and the EU have some very disturbing parallels. Indeed, the two are fundamentally intertwined and the origins of the EU can be traced directly back to the Nazis. The foundations for the EU and ultimately the Euro single currency were laid by the secretive Bilderberg Group in the mid-1950’s. Bilderberg’s owned leaked documents prove that the agenda to create a European common market and a single currency were formulated by Bilderberg in 1955. One of the group’s principle founders was H. Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, a former Nazi SS officer. But the ideological framework for the European Union goes back even further, to the 1940’s when top Nazi economists and academics outlined the plan for a single European economic community, an agenda that was duly followed after the end of the second world war. In his 1940 book The European Community, Nazi Economics Minister and war criminal Walther Funk wrote about the need to create a “Central European Union” and “European Economic Area” and for fixed exchange rates, stating “No nation in Europe can achieve on its own the highest level of economic freedom which is compatible with all social requirements…The formation of very large economic areas follows a natural law of development….interstate agreements in Europe will control [economic forces generally]…There must be a readiness to subordinate one’s own interests in certain cases to those of [the EC].” Funk’s co-authors echoed his sentiments. Nazi academic Heinrich Hunke wrote, “Classic national economy..is dead…community of fate which is the European economy…fate and extent of European co-operation depends on a new unity economic plan”. Fellow Nazi Gustav Koenig observed, “We have a real European Community task before us…I am convinced that this Community effort will last beyond the end of the war.” In 1940, Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels ordered the creation of the “large-scale economic unification of Europe,” believing that “in fifty years’ time [people would] no longer think in terms of countries.” Just 53 years later, the European Union in its current form was established. Other top Nazis who called for the creation of a pan-European federal economic superstate include Ribbentrop, Quisling and Seyss-Inquart, who spoke of “The new Europe of solidarity and co-operation among all its people… will find…rapidly increasing prosperity once national economic boundaries are removed.” Such rhetoric would not look out of place at a present day Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission or CFR confab. The Nazis killed people who spoke out against the Third Reich, whereas the EU has implemented an altogether more efficient solution - simply kill their free speech instead. A Dutch MP was recently refused entry to Britain because his political opinions were deemed offensive under EU laws. Euro MP’s have consistently attempted to ban the “dangerous and unregulated blogosphere” in an attempt to shut down free speech on the Internet. Under the 1999 ruling of the European Court Of Justice (case 274/99), it is illegal to criticize the EU and the EU is on a mission to outlaw any national political parties that do not pander to the European federal superstate agenda. Most of the individuals who hold the reigns of power in the European Union are not Nazis, indeed, they probably believe themselves to be fair-minded liberals working for the “greater good”. However, the European Union by its very nature is totalitarian, because it seeks to remove power from national governments accountable to their electorate and centralize it into the hands of supra-national entities that are accountable to nobody but themselves. It also seeks to remove the right of free speech for anyone in a position of influence who criticizes this agenda. The fact that the EU was a brainchild of top Nazi economists and industrialists, formulated as a means of preserving dictatorial power and then implemented by a former Nazi working under the auspices of the Bilderberg Group in 1955, proves that the entire European Union system is poisoned with a legacy and a raison d’ĂȘtre of totalitarianism. This is becoming increasingly obvious in the 21st century as popular social movements across Europe rise up to oppose the blatant power grab being undertaken by the EU via the Lisbon Treaty, which will again be put before Irish voters later this year despite them already rejecting it in a national referendum, which prevented the treaty from being enforced.

House Demands Full Disclosure On DHS “Right-wing Extremism” Report
0 comments Posted by Unknown at 12:24 PMRepublican Representatives have demanded answers from the Department of Homeland Security over the origins of the leaked security intelligence assessmentwhich equates veterans and gun owners with violent terrorists. House Minority Leader John A. Boehner filed the request using a little known legislative procedure called “a resolution of inquiry”, which ensures that the Democratic leadership will publicly resolve the issue within 14 days. “The report that came out of DHS was offensive, and unfortunately, Secretary Napolitano still has a lot of explaining to do,” Boehner told the Washington Times. “She has not explained how this report came about, why she signed off on it, or why she defended it.” the Ohio Republican stated. The resolution, co-sponsored by Rep. Peter T. King of New York, the ranking Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, requests that all documents and information pertaining to the compilation of the intelligence assessment be revealed. “We have made repeated requests that the committee hold a bipartisan oversight hearing, but unfortunately those requests have been ignored. We are left with no other alternative but to demand answers from the secretary of homeland security herself,” Mr. King commented. The report, entitled Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment (PDF link) was leaked to the Internet a fortnight ago. Further analysis of the document has indicated that it was created by the DHS in 2007, under the authority of the Bush/Cheney administration, a fact that undermines any opportunity for political pointscoring on behalf of the GOP. The document characterizes concerns about the economy, unemployment, the loss of U.S. sovereignty and the move towards global government as “rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet” which itself is defined as a potential tool for terrorists to network, build bombs, and send encrypted messages to each other. It also lists those opposed to abortion or immigration as potential extremists. A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines “rightwing extremism in the United States” as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority. Controversy over the assessment was heightened earlier this week when another disturbing DHS security document emerged. Entitled “Domestic Extremism Lexicon”, it shockingly lists the “alternative media” with other radical extremist groups and implies that people who disagree with the mass media’s version of events are potential domestic terrorists. Though Janet Napolitano appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, she was not questioned on either of the documents. Written by Steve Watson for Prison Planet, May 7, 2009.
US and foreign banks were not unwitting victims of circumstance but deliberately culpable in the financial meltdown that engulfed the United States last year, a campaign group said Wednesday.
The Center for Public Integrity named 25 “subprime” mortgage companies whose risky lending was blamed for the US property market collapse and the subsequent global economic crisis.
Many of the lenders were either controlled by US and European banks, or could not have indulged in their high-risk lending spree without the connivance of banks, the investigative journalism group said in a new study.
“The mega-banks that funded the subprime industry were not victims of an unforeseen financial collapse, as they have sometimes portrayed themselves,” the center’s executive director Bill Buzenberg said.
“These banks were deliberate enablers that bankrolled the type of lending that’s now threatening the financial system,” he said.
The study was released as the US House of Representatives was set Wednesday to vote on a Senate-approved bill that would set up a 9/11-style inquiry into the root causes of the financial crisis.
The center said it analyzed US government data on nearly 7.2 million “high-interest” or subprime loans made from 2005 to 2007, when the real estate bubble was at its peak.
It said the “Subprime 25″ accounted for nearly one trillion US dollars or about 72 percent of industry-reported loans extended to risky borrowers who would not normally have qualified for a mortgage.
At least 21 of the 25 were financed by banks that received US government bailout money, and 11 of them have made hefty payments to settle prosecution claims of widespread lending abuses, it said.
Four of them have received bailout funds, including collapsed insurer American International Group and banking behemoth Citigroup. Other banks named included Britain’s HSBC and Barclays Bank.
Top of the list with at least 97.2 billion US dollars in subprime loans was Countrywide Financial, which was bought by Bank of America last year to avert bankruptcy for the giant mortgage company.
Second with 80.6 billion US dollars in loans was Ameriquest Mortgage, now part of the Citigroup family. Third with 75.9 billion was New Century Financial Corp, which went bust in 2007 and now faces a federal investigation.
“The center found that US and European investment banks invested enormous sums in subprime lending due to unceasing demand for high-yield, high-risk bonds backed by home mortgages,” the study said.
“The banks made huge profits while their executives collected handsome bonuses until the bottom fell out of the real estate market.”

The Raw Story
The DNA fingerprinting pioneer Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys today condemned government plans to keep the genetic details of hundreds of thousands of innocent people for up to 12 years.
Jeffreys – whose discoveries have been used to establish what has become the world's largest national DNA database – said he was "disappointed" with the proposals, which came after a European court ruled that the current policy breaches people's right to privacy.
"It seems to be as about as minimal a response to the European court of human rights judgment as one could conceive. There is a presumption not of innocence but of future guilt here … which I find very disturbing indeed.
"I do not see this as balanced and proportionate. It still places England, Wales and Northern Ireland as the only jurisdictions in the world, to my knowledge, to retain such large amounts of innocent DNA information."
The proposed new rules include keeping the DNA profiles of innocent people who are arrested for serious offences, but not convicted, for 12 years and those arrested for minor offences for six years. Innocent people's profiles are currently kept until their 100th birthday.
Jeffreys dismissed a Home Office prediction that 4,500 fewer crimes will be detected if the proposals go ahead.
"There is an unspoken assumption in here that these thousands of crimes that will not be detected by not having the DNA will remain undetected and that simply isn't the case. A significant number of these will be detectable through conventional police work, including the obtaining of fresh police DNA samples."
He demanded that the government release further details of its concerns about poorer detection rates.
"We have been told some very cursory figures. One would like to know a great deal more. Are these serious crimes? Are they a relatively small number of individuals, for example serial burglars? We don't have that information at all. And we need that information to be able to balance the improved ability to detect these crimes against the right to a private life."
Jeffreys's genetic discoveries at Leicester University in the mid-1980s enabled the establishment of the national DNA database 10 years later. It is now the largest in the world, storing details on more than 5 million people.
Jeffreys said he supported the plan to dispose of the original hair, blood or other sample once the DNA profile had been obtained.
"I absolutely welcome that because the original samples contain all the information embodied in the DNA profile plus the rest of your genetic information. Now the police have no particular plans to go into that but there is always concern that access to those original DNA samples could lay bare far greater amounts of genetic information than is exploited in DNA profiling.
"This is all part of a right to a private life and retention by the state of genetic samples of innocent people is not appropriate."
The home secretary, Jacqui Smith, said the new proposals, which are out to public consultation, would ensure that the right people were on the database, as well as considering when people should come off it.
"We will ensure that the most serious offenders are added to the database, no matter when or where they were convicted," she said.
The proposals come after the ECHR found that the current legal framework amounted to a violation of human rights.
In one of the harshest ever condemnations of UK law, the court's grand chamber of 17 judges said it had been "struck by the blanket and indiscriminate nature" of the government's powers to take and keep DNA samples.
The ruling came after two innocent people from Sheffield, Michael Marper and a boy known in court as S, complained that their human rights were being violated by the government keeping their DNA profiles.
Their solicitor, Peter Mahy, today described the Home Office plans as "a let-down for the hundreds of thousands of people who are innocent but remain on the database".
"We fought a long, hard legal battle on this issue for over seven years which resulted in the spectacular 17-0 victory in European court of human rights. Unfortunately the government is still not proposing to destroy DNA profiles of innocent people when they have been cleared of any crime but instead keep them for up to 12 years," Mahy said.
"Innocent people should be treated as if they are innocent, not as suspects for years after they have been cleared. Innocent should mean innocent. If the proposals do not change there will undoubtedly be more cases brought by innocent people arguing that keeping their DNA profiles is disproportional and a breach of their human rights.
"I believe that the European court ruling and the change in UK policy will be looked at in years to come as truly defining moments in the UK's history of human rights. The judgment and policy change will not only affect hundreds of thousands of innocent people in the UK but millions of citizens worldwide. It is important that people respond to the consultation."
Shami Chakrabarti, the director of the human rights group Liberty, said the new proposals were disproportionate and could lead to abuses of the system.
"These proposals are not quite two fingers to the European court of human rights but they come pretty close," she said.
"They don't distinguish between people who are under suspicion, people who are wholly innocent and those who are guilty.
"The government is still trying to get away with the largest database possible, including holding the details of people who are wholly innocent of anything.
"If they do not budge in consultation, then we will see them in court."
Last month, Jeffreys told the Guardian that the current system left innocent people "branded as criminals".
The proposals contrast sharply with the situation in Scotland, where only the DNA profiles of suspects arrested for serious violent and sexual offences are retained, and for a maximum of five years.

U.S. Halts Pilot Program in New York to Detect Biological Attacks
0 comments Posted by Unknown at 7:18 AMThe Department of Homeland Security is dismantling a next-generation biological attack warning system in New York City subways because of technical problems, U.S. officials said.
Robert Hooks, a deputy assistant secretary, said the department no longer believes it is necessary to expand the pilot program, as he told Congress in July, because of resource and technology limits. Hooks said a long-planned alternative sensor system, set for initial deployment late next year, also will not be available nationwide until 2012, to allow for more testing.
The deactivation of the pilot program in late March marks a setback in U.S. efforts to detect biological weapons, and its disclosure comes as the Obama administration is unveiling new security priorities as part of its 2010 budget today.
The federal government installed air samplers in more than 30 U.S. cities in 2003 to detect the release of potential bioweapons such as anthrax spores, plague bacteria and smallpox viruses. The BioWatch program, which cost about $500 million, was meant to speed up the response before disease could spread.
Critics said older samplers are of limited use, however, because they rely on air filters that must be manually collected and evaluated by a laboratory, taking as much as 30 hours. New York City activated newer sensors in late 2007 that can automatically sniff the air hourly for as many as 100 harmful species and transmit results immediately.
In the past three or four months, however, officials noticed that an instrument designed to detect a particular agent in several of the Autonomous Pathogen Detection System sensors began malfunctioning, Hooks said. The department's science and technology directorate is working with an independent assessor and the sensors' maker, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, to troubleshoot the problem, he said.
DHS and New York officials said that the decision was mutual and that the city is still protected by older sensors, whose samples are being evaluated more frequently.
Lawrence Livermore spokesman Steve Wampler said the lab supports additional DHS testing and added: "We believe we have a technology solution for detecting biological agents that is available now."
DHS expects tests to begin this summer of a new generation of sensors, called Gen 3 BioWatch, Hooks said. "It's always a trade-off, a balance between how you can get technology out there and how much . . . risk there is that it will divert resources" from better options, he said. "We anticipate because of the production cycle and further testing we'll be deploying in 2012 widely across the country."
