IDF commandos come to the US to train NY Jewish Militia to protect their communities.
by Maayana Miskin
(IsraelNN.com) in late July, a group of Israeli combat veterans held a training camp in the Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York to teach advanced self-defense techniques to Jews in U.S. communities. An increasing number of American Jews have expressed interest in the program following a wave of anti-Semitic incidents worldwide over the past year, organizers report.
The group calls itself Kitat Konenut New York – a reference to the “rapid response teams” active throughout Judea and Samaria. Rapid response teams in Israel, comprised of local civilians who are IDF veterans, have often been the first on the scene of terrorist attacks and other emergencies, and have prevented casualties.
It was founded in 2006 in response to a shooting attack at a Jewish center in Seattle, Washington. One woman was murdered in the attack, and several others were wounded.
The group is apolitical, and does not take part in demonstrations. “Our agenda is to protect Jews,” says group member Yonatan Stern.
However, the group does have a firmly held political belief. “We believe in the constitutional right to bear arms,” Stern says. Kitat Konenut encourages all American Jews to learn how to use weapons, and to purchase their own firearms for self-defense.
Trainees learn the IDF's unique martial arts style, known as Krav Maga, and learn to identify suspicious objects and dismantle improvised explosives. They are also trained to use a variety of both non-lethal and lethal weapons, including assault rifles and sniper rifles. Trainers review techniques to deal with situations ranging from knife fights to urban warfare.
Training this year began on July 31 and concluded on August 9.

HERE WE GO! PUT ON YOUR SEAT BELTS! Better get OUT OF THERE QUICK, friends, before your turn comes.
FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS: OFF WE GO!
Panel Urges Some Swine Flu Vaccine Next Month
President's panel urges speeding out a little swine flu vaccine next month instead of October
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON
The government should speed availability of at least a little swine flu vaccine next month instead of in October, the president's scientific advisers recommended Monday.
The report also urges that federal health officials do more social networking to put the young people targeted by the virus on notice; clarify who should use anti-flu drugs and how; and improve tracking of the fast-moving virus.
The Obama administration said it already is taking many of the steps recommended in the 68-page report from the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, a group of leading scientists. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expects to issue revised flu treatment guidelines by month's end. It reports over 300,000 followers of its emergency Twitter, up from 30,000 when swine flu first struck in the spring.
The vaccine issue is tougher. The council recommended that manufacturers begin packaging bulk vaccine into vials and syringes immediately so some could be available in September for those at high-risk, rather than awaiting the results of studies under way to settle dosing and other questions. The government already has asked all five manufacturers to bottle its doses as soon as they're ready "to assure the earliest possible availability," says a White House progress update.
But just last week, health officials announced a delay with swine flu vaccine production for a number of reasons, including a logjam at those packaging factories. While the government initially expected to launch swine flu vaccinations with 120 million available doses around Oct. 15, it now estimates it will have just 45 million doses on hand then — with about 20 million more shipped each week through December.
There's plenty of vaccine against regular winter flu, which also is expected to circulate, and clinics and retailers have begun those inoculations.

Barry's masterful column: Haunts
RABIN STILL HAUNTS ISRAEL
by Barry Chamish
All of Israel, government and media, is furious at Sweden for allowed the publication of a newspaper "investigation" claiming the IDF harvests Palestinian body organs for sale on the black market. The article was a response to three New Jersey rabbis being busted for illegal kidney sales organized by an Israeli, Ilan Peri. But to take one scandal and apply it to their whole army was way too much for the Israelis:
Netanyahu to press Sweden to condemn IDF organ harvesting article
By Barak Ravid and Asaf Uni Haaretz Last update - 03:24 23/08/2009
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1109437.html
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to press Sweden for an
official condemnation of an article in the Swedish daily Aftonbladet that
alleged Israeli soldiers "harvested" the organs of Palestinians.
The problem with the article is that Israel does not harvest Palestinian organs for under the table profits; it steals the organs of deceased ISRAELI soldiers and sells them worldwide. The primary thief is none other than state coroner Dr. Yehuda Hiss, who rewrote the autopsy of slain Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, and thus is impervious to police or legal retribution.
From my book Save Israel:
- www. lulu .com/content/517809
Dr. Hiss emptied the soldiers' corpses of useable organs and replaced them with rags and, yes, broomsticks. Then he returned them to their families. One soldier's father was a doctor and Dr. Buzaglo conducted his own autopsy. Hiss was finished. Or would have been if his attorney, Nitzana Leitner, wasn't wearing him down and losing the case for the authorities.
Whenever a case has to be lost, in she comes. Here she is again, pretending to defend the victim of another Hiss body parts snatching:
Nitzana (Darshan) Leitner represents another victim of Dr. Hiss, the family of Alisdair Sinclair.
On April 14, 1998, 47 year old Alisdair Sinclair, was stopped by customs officials at Ben Gurion Airport on his way out of the country after a six day stay.
At the airport police station, Sinclair was found strangling on his shoelaces. He was rushed to hospital and pronounced dead. From there his body was transferred to the Abu Kabir Institute For Forensic Medicine and straight into the paws of Dr. Yehuda Hiss, who conducted an autopsy which concluded that Sinclair had killed himself.
On May 13, another autopsy was conducted, at the University of Glasgow and guess what? The hyoid bone at the base of the tongue was missing and so was the heart. Both were removed by Dr. Hiss. But why? No problem guessing why the hyoid bone was gone. It would reveal that Sinclair did not hang himself but was strangled by other means.
But the heart..? Leitner can only say, "Our best guess is that Hiss is involved the black market trade in human organs."
Everyone who covered up the Rabin murder gets ahead. Attorney Sefi Elon is now on the Supreme Court;
Prominent rabbis slam Supreme Court candidacy
By Chaim Levinson Haaretz 20 August 2009
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1108774.html
Prominent religious Zionist rabbis yesterday published a manifesto opposing
the proposed appointment to the Supreme Court of Be'er Sheva District Court
Judge Joseph (Sefi) Elon. They primarily objected to two decisions he made
at the time of Israel's 2005 disengagement from the Gaza Strip.
"His moment of truth," they said, "came [in his handling of] 60 detainees
from Kfar Darom [protesting the disengagement], including young teenagers.
In this instance, he rejoiced in sending them to prison and didn't consider
each case individually, in violation of court procedure."
Every political assassin needs a co-conspirator, and in Rabin's murder the chosen victim was Margalit Har Shefi. The murder patsy Yigal Amir mailed her an unwanted letter
from prison, sent her on unrequested but damning errands, and on command, he framed her. All this was easy to prove, but her uncle Sefi made certain she went to prison:
The Elon family know all about Raviv and the more lurid
background of the Rabin murder but they have not helped Margalit Har Shefi
in any way. The opposite. Sefi Alon was hired as Har
Shefi's lawyer and he simply did not defend her. Worse, he incriminated
her even more deeply. His chosen defence was that Har Shefi didn't take Amir's threats
against Rabin seriously and to prove it he coached Har Shefi to stress the
fact that she asked her rabbi if Amir's biblical justifications for
Rabin's murder were legitimate. What a trap he laid for Har Shefi! Obviously if
she went to her rabbi, she did take Amir seriously and thus should have
informed the police about him. That's the way the judges saw it and from
then on Har Shefi's chances for acquittal were over.
Rabin will haunt Israel for as long as the assassination mover Shimon Peres is president; no longer; forever. Because Israelis reward the crooks with their loyalty.
Can you imagine this?:
Gilad Shalit's Sister Entering the IDF
Hadas Shalit, Gilad Shalit's sister, will on Wednesday be among the
new recruits entering the IDF this Wednesday. Hadas prefers not to
discuss her imminent induction and plans for military service with the
media.
Her brother's kidnapping was purposely not prevented by the IDF, the same IDF which attacked Gaza last winter without demanding as a condition of withdrawal his release, and the same IDF which continues to pretend he is alive when all precedent dictates that he was murdered over three years previously.
She had her moment to destroy the facade in her brother's name. She could have, and should have, refused her induction into the IDF in her brother's memory.
Yet she, like all the Israelis protecting Rabin's true assassins, chose to protect those who inflicted the pain.
end
Just for your information, and for a diversion, read this: DASTARDLY, but TRUE! Shocking that doctors would be capable of such evil.
The American Public in general was so optimistic and HAPPY in 1921, that relatively few people were unhealthy as well. For the first time in decades, hospital beds were empty. The fledgling American Medical Association, formed by John D. Rockefeller just a few years earlier, was worried. Business was sagging.
Profits from vaccines and drugs were spiraling downward. Something had to be done, and done immediately. False, faux epidemics of smallpox were created to solve the problem, and keep the Medical Mafia's cash registers ringing.
We know this dastardly plan actually happened, thanks to a citizen's WATCHDOG GROUP in Kansas City, Missouri named "The Advertiser's Protective Bureau", who filed, and successfully prosecuted criminal charges against the Missouri state chapter of the AMA the Jackson Medical Society. The 'Protective Bureau's" official report of this cold-blooded plot reads as follows:
"In the Fall of 1921, the health of the city was unusually good, but slow for the doctors. So the Jackson Medical Society met and resolved to make an epidemic in the city. According to the minutes of this meeting: 'MOTION WAS MADE AND SECONDED, THAT A RECOMMENDATION BE MADE BY THE COMMITTEE, TO THE BOARD OF HEALTH, THAT AN EPIDEMIC OF SMALLPOX BE DECLARED IN THE CITY. (Investigation later revealed that there was NO SIGN OF AN EPIDEMIC at the time, in the city, or anywhere in the state or region!)
'It was moved and seconded that a day be set aside, termed VACCINATION DAY, on which physicians would be stationed at ALL SCHOOLS, clinics, public buildings and hospitals to vaccinate "free of charge". (Vaccinations are never "free". The taxpayers are always forced to pay for every one of the "free" vaccines.)
"IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED THAT WIDE PUBLICITY BE GIVEN, STATING THAT VACCINATION IS A PREVENTIVE OF SMALLPOX, AND URGING THE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY OF VACCINATION FOR EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD IN THE CITY."
The Protective Bureau proved in court that there WAS NO EPIDEMIC before the vaccinations!! The court records show that the Medical Society manufactured vast amounts of posters, fliers, newspaper stories and ads featuring horrific and lurid pictures of diseased children covered with massive smallpox sores and open wounds. Some pictures actually showed children's corpses covered with the same ugly sores. The PANIC-DRIVEN message was clear --- VACCINATE EVERYONE, or face a deadly public disease. There was a "sweeping epidemic" in the city; the disease was "highly contagious" and would "strike anyone who was not vaccinated" was the bill of goods sold! (Does this sound at all familiar today 88 years later??)

OPEN LETTER TO THE MINISTER OF HEALTH, BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, ISRAELI PM, AND THE DEPUTY MINISTER OF HEALTH, MK YAAKOV LITZMAN. PLEASE PASS AROUND WIDELY, PRINT, TRANSLATE, AND POST ON WEEKLY PARSHA PAGES.
B"H
August 23, 2009
Dear Prime Minister, Dear Knesset Member Rabbi Litzman,
With great trepidation, I am watching as you get closer, step by step, to following the dictates of the World Health Organization, which on July 13, 2009, ordered all 193 member countries of the W.H.O., including Israel, to give mandatory immunizations against the H1N1 influenza virus to their entire populations.
At first, MK Litzman had the right approach, and stated candidly that such a step was quite unnecessary and even unsafe. But somehow, since you, dear PM and Minister of Health, allocated 450 million NIS of taxpayer's money to battle the pandemic, you have both been going around, making sure to purchase enough vaccine to administer two doses to each single person in Israel.
Are you aware, dear PM and MK Litzman, that THE VATICAN IS THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT IS NOT SIGNATORY TO THE W.H.O.? ( except for Taiwan and Kosovo, who don't belong because of technicalities). Did you bother to ask yourselves why this is so?
I am sure you are also aware of the fact that, as of June 11, 2009, at 9:30 PM exactly Geneva, Switzerland time, the time a PANDEMIC WAS DECLARED, the UN in effect took control of the HEALTH and SECURITY APPARATUS OF EVERY MEMBER COUNTRY OF THE WHO, as per their declaration dated 2005.
That again, EXCLUDES THE VATICAN. Did you bother to ask yourselves why?
You do realize, don't you, that this in essence is a major, BLOODLESS COUP BY THE UN, which in effect gives it TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE WHOLE WORLD, EXCEPT FOR THE VATICAN. Did you ask yourselves WHY the VATICAN IS EXCLUDED FROM SUCH A BLOODLESS COUP?
I cannot imagine that you are not aware of the DEEP CONNECTIONS BETWEEN ROME AND THE UN.
AND I AM SURE YOU ARE AWARE THAT POPE BENEDIKT XVI, in his Encyclical CARITAS IN VERITATE,
PRESENTED TO THE PUBLIC ON JULY 7th, 2009, exactly ten minutes before the WHO began discussing WORLDWIDE VACCINE DEPLOYMENT, IN THEIR EXTRAORDINARY "SAGE" MEETING AT WHO HEADQUARTERS IN GENEVA, with due PRIOR NOTICE FROM ROME AS TO THE EXACT TIMING OF THE ENCYCLICAL'S RELEASE,
THAT THE POPE, IN HIS ENCYCLICAL, CALLED FOR "A UN WITH TEETH", AND REPEATEDLY MENTIONED "A NEW WORLD ORDER" in his letter, to the dismay of many Catholic faithful.
I hope, dear Bibi and MK Litzman, that you realize what all this means:
THIS PANDEMIC , WHICH WAS DEMONSTRATED TO HAVE BEEN ARTIFICIALLY CREATED IN A LAB, WITH THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF CREATING THE NEED FOR A VACCINE, IS SIMPLY A GOOD EXCUSE FOR A WORLD TAKE-OVER BY THE "HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE" OF POPE BENEDIKT, WHICH HE HAS TIRELESSLY WORKED TO ATTAIN FOR MANY YEARS NOW.
WILL YOU LET ROME CONQUER JERUSALEM ONCE AGAIN AFTER 2000 YEARS?
WILL YOU NOT FIGHT FOR THE SOVEREIGNTY OF ISRAEL?
WILL YOU NOT QUESTION THE LEGITIMACY OF WHATEVER ACCORDS YOU HAVE SIGNED WITH THE WHO, WHICH WERE CLEARLY PRESENTED TO YOU UNDER FRAUDULENT PRETENSES, AND WHICH ARE THEREFORE NULL AND VOID, AS PER LAWS OF CONTRACTS? ( A contract signed under fraudulent pretenses is not valid).
WILL YOU LET ROME AND THE UNITED NATIONS DICTATE THE FATE OF THE JEWISH POPULATION OF ISRAEL?
DON'T YOU KNOW ROME BY NOW? DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS THE WAY FOR ROME TO ONCE AGAIN CONQUER JERUSALEM AND THE HOLY LAND?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS IN THAT SYRINGE, OR IN THOSE NOSE DROPS, THAT THE UN WANTS TO IMPOSE ON THE JEWISH POPULATION OF ISRAEL, MEN, and specially WOMEN OF CHILD BEARING AGE, AND CHILDREN?
DO YOU KNOW THE COMPOSITION OF THOSE VACCINES THAT YOU YOURSELVES HAVE SPENT MILLIONS OF NIS OF TAXPAYER'S MONEY TO RECENTLY ORDER?
DO YOU REALIZE THAT THE GOAL OF THIS VACCINATION CAMPAIGN IS DEPOPULATION OF THE PLANET , as per the goals of the Club of Rome, the Bilderberg group, etc., and the CFR, of which YOU YOURSELF ARE A MEMBER, MR. BENJAMIN NETANYAHU?
WHY ARE YOU PARTICIPATING IN THIS DANGEROUS CHARADE? ARE THEY THREATENING YOU? WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? HOW CAN YOU WILLINGLY PARTICIPATE IN AN EXTERMINATION CAMPAIGN, OR AT LEAST A POPULATION REDUCTION CAMPAIGN, OF THE VERY COUNTRY YOU WERE CHOSEN TO LEAD?
DO YOU REALIZE HOW DANGEROUS THOSE VACCINATIONS ARE?
I KNOW YOU ARE NOT DOCTORS. BUT I AM A DOCTOR, AND I HAVE STUDIED THIS TOPIC AT GREAT LENGTH NOW, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO GO. YES, THERE IS A VIRUS, AN ARTIFICIALLY CREATED VIRUS, BEING SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD BY SOME MONSTERS, IT IS TRUE.
BUT THERE ARE OTHER, MUCH BETTER WAYS TO DEAL WITH THIS MAN- MADE EPIDEMIC.
PLEASE KINDLY LET ME SHOW YOU ALL THE INFORMATION, WHICH I HAVE GATHERED IN A LENGTHY ARTICLE, ATTACHED TO THIS LETTER. YES, IT IS LONG, BUT IT CONTAINS ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO MAKE A WISE DECISION.
PLEASE READ IT, GET INFORMED, IN CASE YOU DO NOT KNOW THE DETAILS, AND THEN DECIDE WHAT IS BEST FOR THE COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE.
YOU HAVE HEREBY BEEN OFFICIALLY PUT ON NOTICE THAT THIS VACCINE IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY, AND CERTAINLY VERY DANGEROUS, WILL NECESSARILY LEAD TO MANY ILLNESSES AND DEATHS, AND THAT TO ADMINISTER THIS VACCINE TO ANY PERSON IN ISRAEL IS RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT, POSSIBLY EVEN MURDER.
PLEASE DO NOT BE ACCOMPLICES TO THIS HORRIFIC CRIME.
PLEASE PROTECT THE JEWISH POPULATION, WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN ELECTED TO LEAD TO LIFE, AND NOT TO DEATH.
MAY THIS NEW YEAR BRING US ONLY GOOD DECREES FROM HEAVEN. AND PLEASE BE SHELICHIM OF LIFE, AND NOT OF DEATH, TO AM YISRAEL.
SINCERELY,
DAISY J. STERN, MD
AN OPEN LETTER TO DOCTORS, - with copy to rabbis - IN ISRAEL IN PARTICULAR, BUT CAN BE SENT TO DOCTORS AND RABBIS IN OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL, REGARDING THE H1N1 VACCINE
B"H
Dear Colleague, (and dear Rabbi as well),
You must be wondering why I am writing to you. Actually the topic of my article, BIRD'S EYE VIEW ON H1N1: AN ATTEMPT AT COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ENGINEERED PANDEMIC OF 2009, is very urgent and timely, and I am afraid that a lot of crucial information, for reasons that you will understand as you keep on reading, has not been shared with you. Unless you are yourself involved in research, I can imagine that your day is busy taking care of patients, and you don't have time to review the literature every day, let alone virology and microbiology research reports. So I took it upon myself to do this work, with the hope that you would be reading and viewing the material that I have gathered here. It is very important that you be aware of the situation, as you will be called to, not only take care of patients and administer vaccines, but also TAKE THE VACCINE YOURSELF. And since you are on the front line of this assault, you deserve to have full information on the product you are about to be injected with, as well as likely help inject countless patients with.
I am talking about the W.H.O. ordered massive, worldwide campaign of MANDATORY IMMUNIZATION of the entire population with the vaccine against H1N1 influenza virus.
I have included, for your information, an article about a letter that was circulated in the UK by a group of neurologists who are concerned about the campaign, because of the surge of Guillain-Barre cases following another such campaign in 1976. Know that you are not alone in your concern, and that there is no shame in questioning the wisdom you have been taught, if that wisdom is suspect.
For further information, please go to my blog, ISRAEL TRUTH TIMES,
at http://israeltruthtimes.blogspot.com/
and look for the following labels:
SWINE FLU, BIRD FLU, WHO, UN, VACCINATIONS,
(a few earlier articles didn't have labels, but you can find those by searching for key words, and the articles or videos will appear).
You will find a wealth of information there, which didn't find a place in this article. There are also videos, and I post new information regularly, as I am following the topic closely.
A short summary of the article is to be found in Chapter 2, ABSTRACT.
From Chapter 3 to Chapter 7, I give you a social and political background, so you will understand WHY this is happening.
Chapter 8 to 17 deal with actual medical issues.
You will also find SOLUTIONS in Chapter 18; I hope this resource will come in handy, as you take care of patients, and for yourself.
I added a few extra resources and information in Chapter 19.
Since this article was written, I have added a lot of new information; please access the blog and read all related articles, if you can find the time.
If you are short of time, let me suggest the following posts, in addition to the article attached:
1. http://israeltruthtimes.blogspot.com/2009/08/bird-eyes-view-on-h1n1-digest-for.html
This is an introduction, if you will, to the long article, it explains how the article is structured, includes the abstract, and is geared to people who don't understand medical lingo.
2.http://israeltruthtimes.blogspot.com/2009/08/abirdeyeviewonh1n1anattemptatacomp3.html
This is essentially the same article that I sent you as an attachment, except the first couple of chapters go in much greater detail into the 'social-politico-religious' background, if you will, of this assault.

This video, a little over half an hour long, shows you very clearly what the plans of the authorities are in the US. And don't forget that this is a WORLDWIDE plan, coming from the W.H.O., so the pressure on Bibi will be very great to do the same thing here in Israel.

and finally
6.http://israeltruthtimes.blogspot.com/2009/08/thank-g-d-mk-litzman-is-of-sound-mind_21.html
This post shows you where we stand today in Israel, and includes my urgent recommendations to MK Litzman, who certainly means well, but is unfortunately not as well informed as he should be.
We tried to reach his office last week, unsuccessfully; he is returning from the US early this coming week. It is very important that physicians UNITE, just as they did in Great Britain, and express their common medical opinion that this vaccine is very dangerous, and should NOT be given to the public, considering what we know. Maybe as a group we will be able to influence policy in Israel, and make it very uncomfortable for the Ministry of Health to continue on this deadly path, which endangers us all.
I am planning on writing an open letter to Bibi, who is the MINISTER OF HEALTH, as well as to MK Yaakov Litzman, his DEPUTY MINISTER OF HEALTH, putting them on notice not to allow this terrible mistake to take place. After this letter, they won't be able to claim ignorance any longer.
I hope you find these articles helpful. Please write back to me and let me know what you think. I need your support in order to make sure Israel stays on the right track and helps its population stay healthy and grow. And we need to make sure that ISRAEL REMAINS A SAFE HAVEN THAT JEWS ALL OVER THE WORLD CAN COME TO, IF THEY ARE FORCED TO TAKE THIS DANGEROUS VACCINE AGAINST THEIR WILL.
Together, we can change things for the better, G-d willing.
AND MAKE SURE TO PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO YOUR MEDICAL COLLEAGUES, DOCTORS, NURSES, PHARMACISTS. PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, SCIENTISTS, STAFF, FAMILY AND FRIENDS, ETC.
AND ALSO DO NOT FORGET TO INFORM REBBE'S AND RABBIS OF THE FACTS: PART OF THE W.H.O PLAN IS TO ENLIST CLERGY IN EVERY COUNTRY, BECAUSE THEY ARE TRUSTED BY THEIR FOLLOWERS, AND ASK THEM TO GET THEIR FLOCKS TO COOPERATE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE SPEAK TO RABBIS, AND WARN THEM IN THE STRONGEST TERMS NOT TO TELL THEIR FOLLOWERS TO TAKE THESE VACCINES. THEY WOULD UNWITTINGLY BE PARTNERS IN A TERRIBLE CRIME!

Thank G-d, MK Litzman is of sound mind, although still misinformed, and a lot more honest and caring than the average person in power; G-d must have put him there. Now the HURDLE IS RABBONIM: They need to be INFORMED, so they don't give BAD ADVICE!
Litzman: Swine flu vaccine may arrive late
Judy Siegel-Itzkovich , THE JERUSALEM POST
The government has arranged for options to purchase enough H1N1 flu vaccine to cover the entire population, but much of it would arrive only in January even if it were approved speedily by the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration, Deputy Health Minister Ya'acov Litzman told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.
Litzman, who just spent a week in New York, Washington, and at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, and two days in Poland, said he explained to his US counterpart, William Corr, the deputy secretary for health and human resources, that Israel had been unable to order vaccine doses - at least for its high-risk populations. So far, Novartis has agreed in principle to sell a million doses and options on a half-million more, but they would not be ready until October.
Sanofi-Aventis is willing to sell seven million doses to Israel, but they would not arrive before January, when the seasonal flu season is usually over. It is not known now whether the H1N1 flu strain will mix with the seasonal flu strain to become an altered entity, or remain separate.
The deputy minister said that the use of vaccines to protect against the new strain is very iffy, as none of the vaccines developed has been tested on large populations and proven safe and effective.
He noted that it was most important for high-risk groups such as pregnant women and people with chronic illness to be vaccinated if the vaccine is ready on time.
IGNORANCE! DS
Litzman stated clearly that he has been assured by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu that flu vaccines would not come at the expense of expanding the basket of health services for 2010.
Litzman said he was not upset with Netanyahu, who is formally the health minister, for being involved in the search for H1N1 vaccines, as "we are cooperating and agreed in advance that he would seek vaccines in Europe and I would look for them in the US."
Although he knew of the Health Ministry poll finding that a quarter of Israelis would refuse to be vaccinated against H1N1 either because the vast majority of cases are mild and they were not afraid of the infection, didn't think such a vaccine would be safe or effective, or don't like injections, Litzman said he thought most people - especially those at high risk of complications - would roll up their sleeves for it.
The 60-year-old deputy minister, a Gur hassid, said he himself would be vaccinated against the new strain if the vaccine were approved and imported, but he hasn't decided if he would do so publicly. STUPID: WE NEED YOU, LITZMAN, DON'T DO SOMETHING SO FOOLISH.... unless you are not telling the truth, which would be shameful.DS
The haredi populations he met in New York were not panicking about an epidemic, he said. The number of cases there is declining now. Many Israeli haredi rabbis will instruct their flocks to get vaccinated, especially pregnant women and other high-risk groups, he insisted.
VERY BAD IDEA! DS
Litzman discounted the idea that haredim were at any higher risk than the rest of the population due to crowded apartments and neighborhoods, bathing in ritual baths or even kissing mezuzot on the doorposts.
OH, OH,who is spreading such rumors, this is very bad, it is a preamble to vaccinating large populations, preferably the 'DISPENSABLES". I sure hope the Haredim don't fall for the dirty trick: THIS IS THE EVIL HAND AT WORK. DS
"Mezuzot protect the home; they won't spread disease," he said, but he conceded that he had not consulted experts about this.
In Warsaw, Litzman met with the deputy health minister and discussed the possibility of Poland ordering vaccines from Israel in the eventuality that Israel managed to set up a vaccine production industry. "Poland has not ordered any H1N1 vaccine yet," he said.
That is exactly what Israel needs to do; set up its own manufacture - provided it is in the hand of HONEST AND CARING PEOPLE. DS
As for the quiet but persistent criticism in the health system that Litzman promised "a revolution" when entering office and has not yet delivered, Litzman told the Post that most of the potential reforms raise a great deal of opposition meant to stymie change and that he still intends to make major changes.
He was caught up with immediate crisis and has been waiting three weeks for the approval of his nominee for ministry director-general, Dr. Eitan Hai-Am, who works for Clalit Health Services and wanted to take leave rather than resign from the health fund. But Litzman said the Civil Service Commission has approved his nomination and that a vote will be held in the cabinet on Sunday.
Hai-Am, a former director-general of Soroka University Medical Center, will replace Prof. Avi Yisraeli, who has been in the post for nearly six years and asked not to continue.

2.ABSTRACT:
In this paper I am presenting overwhelming evidence, gathered from as many sources as I was able to find in the short time available to me, that the H1N1 INFLUENZA PANDEMIC of 2009 has been planned for a long time; that the 1918 Pandemic influenza virus was deliberately reconstituted in a lab, for the express purpose of creating a need for influenza virus vaccines; that the vaccines create a huge financial bonanza for the companies manufacturing them; that the majority of those companies have a very dark, Nazi past ; that they are interconnected ; that the vaccines are very unsafe, and in fact are experimental drugs with very serious problems; that whoever receives these vaccines will be an unwitting guinea-pig; that there are very dangerous side-effects to be expected from these vaccines, even many deaths; that the surreptitious lacing of the vaccines with live infectious agent and/or anti-fertility vaccines is a very real possibility, considering the history of a majority of the companies manufacturing those vaccines; that this plan was engineered by the WHO and the UN; that it is being financed by mostly private non-profit organizations that heavily subsidize the UN; that the goal is WORLD CONTROL AND EUGENICS, DEPOPULATION OF THE PLANET - eliminating "undesirables" - to about 9/10 of its current population; and that this plan, put into effect on July 7th , 2009, received the full blessing and guidance of Pope Benedikt XVI who demanded a UN "with teeth" and a NEW WORLD ORDER, in his encyclical CARITAS IN VERITATE, released to the world at the exact same moment as the decision was made to inoculate the whole world.... and that only select people will be able to receive the real antidote to the H1N1 influenza virus, a monoclonal antibody jointly manufactured by the Burnham Institute, the Dana Farber Institute, and the CDC.
I also recommend several steps that the government of Israel should immediately take to protect its Jewish population, a clear target of extermination throughout the ages, as well as today, considering the source of this engineered pandemic.
Sometimes details are necessary to understand. The advice is free, as far as I know, NOBODY paid me for this research.
So if you want to improve on it at your expense, go ahead. I have done my duty. Maybe now it is your turn to make an effort too.
As an example., the article I just sent out. The headline says it all. You want to know more? Read. You DON'T want to read? Be my guest; it's your life.
ALERT! IMPORTANT! TO ALL ISRAELIS ,and al.: ISRAEL BOUGHT ENOUGH VACCINE FOR DOUBLE DOSES FOR EVERYBODY; WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO DO THIS TO US. DO YOU WANT TO LIVE THIS YEAR? THEN YOU BETTER DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! UNITE, AND LEARN HERE. READ THIS.
Adjuvant may stretch swine flu vaccine supply
Greece, The Netherlands, Canada and Israel have ordered enough double doses of swine flu vaccine to inoculate their entire populations. "Pandemic vaccine orders put in by northern hemisphere countries stand at over one billion," a World Health Organization spokesperson told AFP.
Although just last month the WHO had tallied manufacturing capacity of 94 million doses per week starting in mid-October based on estimates from 25 drug companies, reality has hit: the major makers report delays and a new yield projection that is half or less of the original, the AFP reports.
That could be good news for specialty drug-maker Biosante, which just announced that its BioVant adjuvant increased the protective effect of vaccines for multiple flu strains, including a potential swine flu vaccine, yielding 100 percent protection from symptoms of illness. Its studies showed that both swine and bird flu vaccines fortified with BioVant may stretch supplies through the use of lower doses. Intranasal administration could provide more convenient and wider distribution during a flu pandemic.

ABOUT THE BIOVANT ADJUVANT:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
An adjuvant is used to simulate the immune system and increase the body's response to a vaccine, without having any specific antigenic effect in itself.
The BioVant adjuvant can be administered intranasally, paving way for a more wider and convenient mode of distribution. The company noted that as the adjuvant enhanced the natural immune response to swine flu and other flu strains, BioVant may allow for availability of a greater number of lower-dose vaccines.
Michael Snabes, BioSante's vice president of clinical development stated, "The exciting prospect is that BioVant also may allow use of lower doses of H1N1 swine flu vaccines in order to stretch potentially limited vaccine supplies."

BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC BB: BISP), Lincolnshire, Ill., has reported results of several studies demonstrating the superiority of its innovative calcium phosphate nanoparticulate (CAP) vaccine adjuvant and delivery system, BioVant (TM), compared to the only approved adjuvant, aluminum salts (alum). The company has also recently announced a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army to use the new technology in the development of biodefense vaccines.
In the reported studies, BioVant was combined with antigens from the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the Herpes Simplex-2 virus (HSV-2) and the Influenza virus (flu), in proprietary vaccine formulations developed by BioSante scientists. The studies, conducted in a series of animal models, were designed to evaluate the immune enhancement effects of BioVant compared to vaccines using alum.
In the study of EBV vaccines, the antibody (IgG) response was significantly higher for the BioVant-EBV vaccine than that of the alum-adjuvant vaccine. Similarly, in mice inoculated with the HSV-2 vaccine, the BioVant-HSV-2 vaccine elicited a substantially greater immune response than the alum-adjuvant vaccine. Both Th1 and Th2 T-cell responses occurred using the BioVant-HSV-2 vaccine, but the bias was towards a Th1 T-cell response. Furthermore, the BioVant-HSV-2 vaccine provided 100 percent protection after challenge with a lethal dose of live virus.
In the study of flu vaccines, the BioVant-flu vaccine induced an antibody response comparable to that of the alum-based vaccine while using only one percent of the amount of antigen contained in the alum-flu vaccine. These findings suggest BioVant is more potent than alum on a weight-for-weight basis, for the elicitation of virus-specific immunity. Similar advantages for BioVant are observed for bacterial vaccines.
"These study results indicate BioVant may be more potent on a weight-for-weight basis and a safer alternative to alum for immune enhancement of vaccine-induced responses," said Stephen M. Simes, president and chief executive officer of BioSante. "Theoretically, the smaller the amount of virus antigen and adjuvant that must be incorporated into a vaccine, the less likely a patient will experience an adverse reaction."
An adjuvant is a substance that, when added to a vaccine, enhances the vaccine's effect by stimulating an immune system response. Aluminum salt derivatives, such as alum, currently are the only adjuvants approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the United ...
MATRIX PROTEIN M1 vaccine:
A DNA plasmid expressing both the influenza viral matrix protein (M1) and hemagglutinin (HA) (pHA/M1) as a potential vaccine candidate was investigated. Vaccination with pHA/M1 double insertion plasmids not only induced HA-specific protective antibodies, but also elicited HA and M1-specific CD8 T cell responses. Mice immunized with pHA/M1 dual expressing plasmid showed enhanced HA inhibition titer and increased CD69(+) CD8alpha(+) T cell response compared to groups that received either the vector or a mixture of both pHA and pM1 (pHA+pM1). Furthermore, pHA/M1 immunization resulted in improved protection against both homologous and heterologous challenges.
That is a novel idea, similar to the idea developed at Burnham Institute with their monoclonal antibody. In principle, it is a good idea.
BUT WHAT IS IT THEY ARE DOING: PAY ATTENTION:
Vaccine-delivery systems are generally particulate (e.g., emulsions, microparticles and liposomes) and have comparable dimensions to the pathogens, which the immune system evolved to combat. Increasingly more sophisticated delivery systems are being developed in which immunostimulatory adjuvants may be incorporated with the antigen. The rationale for this approach is to ensure that both the antigen and adjuvant are delivered into the same population of antigen-presenting cells. Enhancement of adjuvant activity through the use of micro- and nanoparticulate delivery systems is particularly exciting, as synergistic effects are often seen resulting in immune responses stronger than those elicited by the adjuvant or delivery system alone. Micro- and nanoparticles also offer the possibility of enhancement of their uptake by appropriate cells through manipulation of their surface properties. The next important step in the development of many of the experimental microparticle- and nanoparticle-based technologies will be evaluation of effectiveness in human trials.
And also recent, from our dear friend NOVARTIS of ill fame:
A comparison of anionic nanoparticles and microparticles as vaccine delivery systems.
Hum Vaccin. 2008 Jan-Feb;4(1):44-9. Epub 2007 Aug 15.Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics, Inc., Emeryville, CA 94608, USA.
The objective of this work was to conduct an in vivo comparison of nanoparticles and microparticles as vaccine delivery systems. Poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) polymers were used to create nanoparticles size 110 nm and microparticles of size 800-900 nm. Protein antigens were then adsorbed to these particles. The efficacy of these delivery systems was tested with two protein antigens. A recombinant antigen from Neisseria meningitides type B (MenB) was administered intramuscularly (i.m.) or intraperitonealy (i.p.). An antigen from HIV-1, env glycoprotein gp140 was administered intranasally (i.n.) followed by an i.m. boost. From three studies, there were no differences between the nanoparticles and micro-particles formulations. Both particles led to comparable immune responses in mice. The immune responses for MenB (serum bactericidal activity and antibody titers) were equivalent to the control of aluminum hydroxide. For the gp140, the LTK63 was necessary for high titers. Both nanoparticles and microparticles are promising delivery systems.
What is LTK63?
The Acquired Immune Response to the Mucosal Adjuvant LTK63 Imprints the Mouse Lung with a Protective Signature
Elaine Tritto*, Alessandro Muzzi*, Isabella Pesce*, Elisabetta Monaci*, Sandra Nuti*, Grazia Galli*, Andreas Wack*, Rino Rappuoli*, Tracy Hussell and Ennio De Gregorio1,** Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics, Siena, Italy; and Kennedy Institute, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London, United Kingdom
LTK63, a nontoxic mutant of Escherichia coli heat labile enterotoxin (LT), is a potent and safe mucosal adjuvant that has also been shown to confer generic protection to several respiratory pathogens.
So what they did, ALSO IN THE US, is give HIV intranasally to mice, enrobed in an enterotoxin mutant envelope, for added immune response ; the results were no different from alum. AND they had to give an immune boost following that: TWO DOSES ALTOGETHER.
So, in summary, WHAT DID NOVARTIS TEST TWO YEARS AGO?
AN INHALED VACCINE in nanoparticles- USING HIV enrobed in mutated enterotoxin, THAT REQUIRES TWO DOSES to be effective...the second one being an intramuscular injection.
MY CONCLUSIONS:
1. These calcium phosphate nanoparticles are being developed as part of a BIOWEAPONS SYSTEM PROGRAM
2. THE SUBSTANCE IS TOXIC TO LUNGS IN UNKNOWN QUANTITIES
3. IT WAS ONLY TESTED ON LAB ANIMALS, and they need to test the effectiveness of their bioweapons in human trials.
4., according to the company's own words in 2003, ITS EFFECTIVENESS IN INFLUENZA VIRUS was then COMPARABLE TO ALUM...
...things could have changed since then....
BUT NOTE.....
ALUM DOES NOT WORK WITH INFLUENZA VIRUS! That is according to a recent study.
See: Published: 05/29/2009
Vaccine Adjuvants: Scientific Challenges and Strategic Initiatives
Ali M. Harandi,1 Gwyn Davies,2 Ole F. Olesen 3
.....Thus, the development of safe and potent immunologic adjuvants and delivery systems that can enhance and direct vaccine-specific immunity is needed. With few exceptions, aluminum salts (alum) are currently the only vaccine adjuvant approved for human use worldwide. Alum is effective at generating a strong antibody response to an antigen with a bias towards a Th2 type of immune response, and, as such, has been widely and effectively used in many vaccines, such as tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis and poliomyelitis vaccines.[1] The mechanism of immunopotentiation by alum involves inflammation and recruitment of antigen-presenting cells, retention of antigen at the injection site, uptake of antigen, dendritic cell maturation, T-cell activation and T-cell differentiation.[2] Although alum adjuvants have proved their efficiency in a large number of applications, some limitations of alum have been reported. Thus, alum failed to confer satisfactory increase of the immune response in certain vaccines, such as typhoid fever and influenza vaccines. Reports have also demonstrated that alum displays limited ability to raise high antibody titers against small-size peptides. Importantly, alum is a poor enhancer of cytotoxic T-cell immunity and Th1 responses, the type of immunity needed to combat several life-threatening infections and cancers.
So what is it I am missing?
WHAT WOULD BE THE PURPOSE OF ADDING THIS TO AN H1N1 VACCINE, if it is INEFFECTIVE as an antigen boost?
Has the effectiveness increased in the last 6 years?
It is possible that their SPECIFIC formulation of M1 antigen with Calcium nanoparticles works. It IS possible.....
However, knowing that
It is being developed as part of a BIOWEAPONS LAB,
and that it is highly experimental at this stage, having NEVER been tested on HUMANS,
and it is a KNOWN FACT - see my article just yesterday about this topic - that BIOWEAPONS LABS REPEATEDLY TEST THEIR WEAPONS ON UNINFORMED SUBJECTS...
At the same time...
...GENE DELIVERY TO HUMAN CELLS IS BEING TESTED.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE THEY TRYING TO LEARN IN THIS PROCESS? WHAT GENES ARE THEY TRYING TO INTRODUCE TO HUMAN NUCLEUS MATERIAL?
Pay attention to this article:
Adverse effects of viral vectors, instability of naked DNA, cytotoxicity and low transfection of cationic lipids, cationic polymers and other synthetic vectors are currently severe limitations in gene therapy. In addition to targeting a specific cell type, an ideal nonviral vector must manifest an efficient endosomal escape, render sufficient protection of DNA in the cytosol and help provide an easy passage of cytosolic DNA to the nucleus. Virus-like size calcium phosphate nanoparticles have been found to overcome many of these limitations in delivering genes to the nucleus of specific cells. This review has focused on some applications of DNA-loaded calcium phosphate nanoparticles as nonviral vectors in gene delivery, and their potential use in gene therapy, as well as highlighting the mechanistic studies to probe the reason for high transfection efficiency of the vector. It has been demonstrated that calcium ions play an important role in endosomal escape, cytosolic stability and enhanced nuclear uptake of DNA through nuclear pore complexes. The special role of exogenous calcium ions to overcome obstacles in practical realization of this field suggests that calcium phosphate nanoparticles are not 'me too' synthetic vectors and can be designated as second-generation nonviral vectors for gene therapy.

MIT, Lankenau Institute Team Up on Positive Nanodelivery Study
Nanodelivery of medicines could be ready for human clinical trials in as little as a year, say researchers at MIT and the Lankenau Institute in the wake of the publication of a study on nano therapies for ovarian cancer.
"What we did was deliver DNA that basically tells cells to die. But it is only turned on in ovarian cells," said Dan Anderson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who worked on the study published in the journal Cancer Research.
The research, a joint project from MIT and Pennsylvania's Lankenau Institute, used an "artificial virus" -- a biodegradable polymer that can get inside the cell and be absorbed by the body, in much the same way biodegradable sutures work. To form the nanoparticle, the polymers are mixed with a gene that produces a modified form of the diphtheria toxin that is only harmful to ovarian cancer cells.
MIT is working on nanoparticles as a safer alternative to viruses in making powerful new embryonic-like cells called induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells.
SO...
CALCIUM PHOSPHATE NANOPARTICLES AS NON-VIRAL VECTORS FOR GENE THERAPY ( Prof. Maitra, currently in Baltimore)...
NANOPARTICLES USED TO INFECT MICE INTRANASALLY WITH AIDS ( by Novartis, who seems to have learned from this professor)...
All these tests are going on as we speak, and as they want to use that delivery method for H1N1 vaccine.
So what is going on here? Is this totally INNOCUOUS, is it meant as THERAPY? Or is it part of a BIOWEAPONS PROGRAM TESTING CAMPAIGN?
OR COULD IT BE "DUAL USE"??
FOR SURE, EVEN IF IT WERE 100% INNOCUOUS, IT WOULD STILL BE 100% EXPERIMENTAL IN HUMANS.
And knowing what we know today about Novartis and their "innocuous" vaccines...
...I WOULD BE VERY, VERY , SUSPICIOUS, KNOWING THE INTENT OF THE PTB, IN PARTICULAR OF WHO AND THE UN.
Only questions at this stage; no answer. But I am sure you are starting to see the problems :
DO NOT FALL FOR IT. DO NOT TAKE ANY NASALLY BASED INFLUENZA VACCINE at this stage, OR ANY PART OF ANY H1N1 VACCINE!

Additional benefits of CAP include (i) an insignificant IgE response, which is an important advantage over injection of alum compounds,
http://www.cmj.org/Periodical/PaperList.asp?id=LW8471
Calcium phosphate (CAP), aluminum compounds have been approved for human use in several European countries.[1] Although effective in the enhancement of Th2 immune responses, aluminum compounds also produced severe local tissue irritation, induced no cell-mediated immunity, and elicited undesirable immunoglobulin E (IgE) responses.[2-5] For these reasons, the application of aluminum compounds was limited.
AS FOR THE POOR OF THIS WORLD.........
Vaccine platform to aid in pandemic preparedness
Influenza vaccine production is the subject of an agreement between Neugenesis and the international nonprofit PATH. Under the agreement, Neugenesis will conduct proof-of-concept work to demonstrate the utility of its NeuBIOS protein production platform for making seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccine, according to an announcement.
The Neugenesis platform provides high-level expression of recombinant, multivalent, influenza virus antigens from the transformed filamentous fungus, Neurospora crassa. The company says the platform is "scalable, inexpensive, and can be upgraded with genes for new influenza variant antigens to produce new vaccines in weeks, rather than months." Under the PATH agreement, the NeuBios platform will be used to make non-infectious, non-replicating virus-like particles.
The platform will help PATH in its efforts to develop pandemic-response influenza vaccines that will be safe, effective, and affordable for distribution by public health systems in low-income countries.
