Can we stop the Indian superbug? New Superbug Immune to Antibiotics…

Posted on 2010 08, 12 by admin

arta feira
British hospitals are grappling with a new bacterium that have become resistant to the most powerful antibiotics
According to experts questioned by BBC, the “superbug” has traveled to the United Kingdom by cidaãos who have visited countries such as India or Pakistan for plastic surgery.

So far 50 cases have been identified, but scientists fear that bacteria from spreading to other countries.

Resistant to the strongest antibiotics, the bacteria can be transmitted from person to person and become almost impossible to treat, since in at least one of the cases the organism was found to be resistant to all known antibiotics.

The bacterium in question produces an enzyme called NDM-1, which can exist within different bacteria.

Carbapenems are very useful antibiotics. Distantly related to penicillin, they can be used to treat a much broader range of bacteria, many of which are difficult to attack because they are naturally resistant to most other antibiotics.

As Freedom Sunsets into Perpetual Night…

The dramatic headline on the Drudge Report tonight might seem logical and innocent to the uninitiated:

‘PERFECT CITIZEN’ PROGRAM PLACES ‘SENSORS’ THROUGHOUT WEB

The truth behind the headline though is that our nation has been bleeding its freedoms away one bureaucratic paper cut at a time. The idea is that the NSA wishes to use the logical approach of government mandated monitoring of the flow of data to “protect” critical utility infrastructure and corporations from external attack. Unfortunately, the mentality of those in charge of the operation is best reflected in this quote from an “unnamed” military official from the Wall Street Journal report:

A U.S. military official called the program long overdue and said any intrusion into privacy is no greater than what the public already endures from traffic cameras.

Really unnamed U.S. military official? I don’t hold my credit card number up to traffic cameras. My spending habits and purchases, bills and personal pictures are not visible to the traffic camera. My personal emails are not visible to the traffic camera. My communications with my family are not visible on the traffic camera. If I wish to engage in lawful dissent the traffic camera does not pass judgment or use it as a perverted form of evidence against me in a trial. Apparently the attitude is that the real threat to America is not the cleansing sunlight of freedom, the ultimate disinfectant to prevent the disease of totalitarianism, but instead the free thoughts and actions of the United States citizen. This thought from above should disturb every patriotic American and chill them to the bone.

The story continues though, with further ideas being thrown against the wall, which will ultimately open Pandora’s Box and lead to the monitoring of not just “critical infrastructure” but the individuals who think they are living their lives as normal Americans, unaware that they are already being monitored but now able to put the friendly name of ‘Perfect Citizen’ as the software program which sponges up their activities on the internet and probably lift it off of their hard drives if you “trip” one of their sensors. This portion of the story is most disconcerting:

Some companies may agree to have the NSA put its own sensors on and others may ask for direction on what sensors to buy and come to an agreement about what data they will then share with the government, industry and government officials said.

A Look at What RAP Faces and the Post Rap Republic Blessings…hmmmm

Executive Summary – This is our writing. At times we get given information by People that are in Restore America Plan at various levels. This is based on our analysis solely.

First an Unverified History of RAP Roots? – This was taken from a post on a forum.

“Hey, the military approached Tom Schultz to reign in Obama with a plan in hand. The plan was based on a War College scenario a Lt Colonel created.
Some members of the Supreme Court validated the Plan and supported it as the one way to reoccupy the vacated seats of the Republic.
The elders went out and rallied the initial grand juries and got the documents filed with the Governors in record time.
Once the initial word came out it went viral around the world. This slowed all concerned so they could endure as they took the USA corporate system of funding down, it would not in-turn collapse the other economies.”

(My insertion) – At some point Sam Kennedy broker from Tim Turner taking numerous Grand Jury members with him and this caused delay while the grand jury members were replaced and trained. This has been done and they are seated now as I am told.

“Ongoing investigations were completed a few weeks back and the World Court and International settlements foundation issued their orders.
Finally a few weeks ago the right actors were assembled to meet and develop lawful orders for the military. The military was OBE with the Gulf situation and now have formulated plans to move forward with their portion of the plan. Execution of orders issued by the recognized constitutional government.
Pretty amazing stuff really, when you consider it will be accomplished peacefully and lawfully. You got to love them founders for including a reset button in the
Declaration of Independence.
Tom Jefferson you’re the man.”

Evidence: BP Blocking Media Access? New Orleans interview…

Posted on 2010 06, 17 by rockingjude

June 13, 1:01 AMSeattle Exopolitics ExaminerAlfred Lambremont Webre

This article is the 2nd in an ongoing Examiner.com series on the BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill and its environmental, economic, social and exopolitical impacts.

A pattern of evidence from independent investigative reporters is emerging to suggest that the BP oil “spill” in the Gulf of Mexico may be an intentional “false flag” event in the genre of disaster capitalism, with the “environmental war” purpose of wrecking the environment of the Gulf of Mexico and the eastern United States and causing economic and social hardship to the population, and possible physical evacuation into FEMA camps operated by Halliburton on behalf of an international war crimes network.  Halliburton is, by the emerging evidence, itself a prime suspect in the false flag operation.

Key principals who, by preliminary evidence, to be tied to criminal acts associated with insider profiting on the BP oil “spill” operation and with acts of pre-meditated sabotage or criminal negligence that initially caused the oil spill and exacerbated its environmental, economic and social effects, have been tied to previous “false flag” events of disaster capitalism and are operatives of this international war crimes racketeering network.

There is now evidence of intentional disaster capitalism in the BP oil spill, including “foreshadowing drills” by the U.S. agencies and the sabotage or criminal negligence involvement of Halliburton, first broadcast by this reporter Alfred Lambremont Webre and an independent scientist in a special investigative program on Vancouver Coop Radio CFRO 102.7 FM. Examiner readers can access the full summary and listen to the program in the article below.

On June 8, 2010, UFO filmmaker James Fox, broadcasting on the Veritas show, revealed a corporate-governmental private police state that was erasing constitutional guarantees in the BP oil spill impacted area in Grand Isle, LA. Mr. Fox stated, “Basically what’s happening is a complete media blackout. They are arresting people with cameras. They are arresting … They will even arrest … I was told off-camera that if they’re caught talking to a reporter, they are going to go to jail.”

A mainstream New Orleans TV news station, WDSU-TV in a video in the article below, confirmed Mr. Fox’s investigative reporting on June 12, 2010.

There is now confirmation of insider trading in BP stock by Goldman Sachs and an insider corporate takeover by Halliburton three weeks prior to the oil spill. On June 9, 2010, investigative reporters Sherri Kane (a former reporter with Fox News) and Leonard G. Horowitz reported that “Three weeks before the “natural gas leak,” the George Bush/Dick Cheney 9-11-linked Halliburton company negotiated the purchase of the world’s largest oil-spill cleanup firm (Boots & Coots) at the exact time keen observers on Wall Street–financial intelligence agents at Goldman Sachs unloaded 44% of their stock in BP. Goldman Sachs is covertly invested in the Bush-Cheney-linked Halliburton Company according to veteran observers. Goldman Sachs and Halliburton both had massive financial incentives to cause the profitable explosions–the three 9-11 WTC building demolitions, and the most recent ‘accident’ in the Gulf.”

One expert states that intentional environmental contamination of the ecology of the Gulf of Mexico is evidence of intent to depopulate the marine life, as well as the human population that depend on the Gulf of Mexico for survival.  Moreover, the force multiplier effects of dispersants, deadly benzene and other fumes from petroleum and dispersants, and a severe hurricane season may force evacuation of the Gulf states of the U.S. There is now strong evidence that the Katrina hurricane was “steered” and “magnified” using advanced environmental war weapons, that can be applied as well to the hurricane season expected to follow the BP oil spill.   Evacuation of the Gulf coast and eastern U.S. will most probably be into FEMA camps, that were built and are managed under Halliburton contracts, more evidence of “disaster capitalism” design to the BP oil spill environmental war operation.

There is a possibility of a blowout of the BP well site that will escalate the damaging effects of the oil spill.  One expert states, “The system will collapse or fail substantially before we reach the finish line ahead of the well and the worst is yet to come. Sorry to bring you that news, I know it is grim, but that is the way I see it… I sincerely hope I am wrong. We need to prepare for the possibility of this blow out sending more oil into the gulf per week then what we already have now, because that is what a collapse of the system will cause. All the collection efforts that have captured oil will be erased in short order. The magnitude of this disaster will increase exponentially by the time we can do anything to halt it and our odds of actually even being able to halt it will go down. The magnitude and impact of this disaster will eclipse anything we have known in our life times if the worst or even near worst happens…”

This Examiner.com articles analyzes the evidence for the BP oil spill as an intentional “disaster capitalism” operation, with depopulation and anti-disclosure objectives.

How Bad Is The New Health Care “Reform” Law? Myths vs. FACTS

Posted on 2010 06, 06 by rockingjude

http://csteventucker.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/how-bad-is-the-democrats-health-care-reform-bill-really/

Here’s how BAD the new “Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act” and subsequent Health Care & Education Affordability Reconciliation Act” is for our country:

1.) The law expands entitlement spending by over $1 TRILLION in order to “cover” $30 Million more people. What will that do to State Budgets? We only need to look at history to find out. Cases in point?

a.) In 1965 the Fed projected that costs for Medicare Part A would be $9 Billion. It ended up costing $67 BILLION!
b.) The Medicaid special hospital subsidy was supposed to cost $100 MILLION. The real cost was $11 BILLION!
c.)
The initial cost projections for Romneycare in Massachusetts were $88 MILLION. Cost today? FOUR BILLION!

2.) It adds $500 Billion in new tax increases at a time in our nation’s history when a RECORD number of American’s pay NO INCOME TAXES! And if you believe the lie told by President Obama that your taxes will NOT increase if you make less than $200,000 as an Individual or $250,000 as a Married couple, you need to know the TRUTH!

Speaking of NEW taxes, if you are a Small Business owner. Here’s what’s coming for you thanks to Obamacare:

Rebound in the labor market? Looks more like a dead cat bounce, where a great many of the jobs being created are either temporary, part-time, low wage, or stripped down, like those detailed in the following CNNMoney.com report, “Say Goodbye to Full-Time Jobs with Benefits”:

A new smart pill could let doctors know when patients have taken their medicine…Great… :(

Posted on 2010 05, 18 by rockingjude

The medicine cabinet of the future could help make sure patients take their medications on time via a myriad of smart technologies. There are already pill bottles that wirelessly report to a computer when a cap has been opened, and devices for automatically dispensing medicine at the right time, and for reminding patients to take their meds.

Pill police: This capsule, which wraps around a standard pill capsule, includes a microchip and a tiny antenna etched from silver ink to track when and if the pill was taken.

Now researchers at the University of Florida have engineered a smart pill with a tiny antenna and microchip that could signal when it has made it into a patient’s stomach–reporting to a cell phone or computer that she has taken her medicine. Their design is the latest of several high-tech pill-reporting efforts to improve patient adherence and provide accurate reporting.

The prototype pill is composed of a standard pill capsule, wrapped in a thin label etched in silver nano-ink, comprising an antenna. The team also outfitted the label with a tiny microchip, which can be loaded with sensors to detect measurements like body temperature or pH levels. Both the antenna and microchip communicate with an external transmitter, which researchers say could be fashioned into a wearable device such as a wristband. The transmitter sends low frequency pulses into the body; the pill’s antenna tunes into the transmitter’s specific frequency, and sends pulses back, along with data collected from the microchip, potentially including the time when the patient ingested the pill, and the type of pill taken.

No, You Can’t Keep Your Health Plan…WHAT??

Health Insurance Does Not Insure Health

By SCOTT GOTTLIEB

President Obama guaranteed Americans that after health reform became law they could keep their insurance plans and their doctors. It’s clear that this promise cannot be kept. Insurers and physicians are already reshaping their businesses as a result of Mr. Obama’s plan.

The health-reform law caps how much insurers can spend on expenses and take for profits. Starting next year, health plans will have a regulated “floor” on their medical-loss ratios, which is the amount of revenue they spend on medical claims. Insurers can only spend 20% of their premiums on running their plans if they offer policies directly to consumers or to small employers. The spending cap is 15% for policies sold to large employers.
