What Caused Gulf War Syndrome?

There were many factors present in the Gulf during the war that could have played a role in causing illness in those present at the time. It is likely that a combination of a number of these factors together is what led to the illness.

The potential causative factors include:


1. Infectious Diseases - A number of infectious agents were present in the Gulf but medical records generally show that they weren't a major problem for personnel due to extensive precautionary measures (1). Of cause many infectious agents may lie dormant without causing an acute illness. The most common infectious agents present were thought to be cutaneous leishmaniasis, travelers diarrhea, sandfly fever and malaria. One unique infectious disease has been linked to the Gulf war deployment: viscerotrophic leishmaniasis (1). This infectious disease has been found in 12 U.S. veterans but none of the other Coalition forces personnel.


There is substantial evidence for mycoplasma infection playing a role in veterans illnesses. Mycoplasma can be defined as the smallest organisms lacking cell walls that are capable of self-replication and can cause various diseases in humans. Although usually associated with respitory and urinary disease, mycoplasma are thought by a growing number of medical professionals to be responsible for a number of unexplained symptoms, especially chronic fatigue states. Mycoplasma fermentans has been found in the blood of gulf war veterans at a much higher rate than in the overall population (2, 3, 4).

In an article entitled 'Scientific Facts Versus Fiction About Mycoplasma', Aristo Vojdani, Ph.D., M.T. describes recent findings about Mycoplasma fermentans:

"Although mycoplasmas are recognized primarily as extracellular parasites or pathogens of mucosal surfaces, recent evidence suggests that certain species may invade the host cells.

The molecular and cellular bases for the invasion of M. fermentans from mucosal cells to the bloodstream and its colonization of blood remain unknown.

Also, it remains unclear whether M. fermentans infection of white blood cells is transient, intermittent or persistent. It is not clear how these stages influence any disease progression. The invasion of host blood cells by M. fermentans is due to inhibition of phagocytosis by a variety of mechanisms, including antiphagocytic proteins such as proteases, phospholipases and by oxygen radicals produced by mycoplasmas."


.....
6. Vaccinations - Troops sent to the Gulf were given a large cocktail of vaccinations in a short period of time. In total, US servicemen may have received as many as 17 different vaccines, including live vaccines (polio and yellow fever) as well as experimental vaccines that had not been approved (anthrax, botulinum toxoid) and were of doubtful efficacy . In the UK, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has declared only 10 vaccines given but reports from veterans and official documents seem to tell a different story.

A large 2002 study of 900 veterans found a strong correlation between the anthrax vaccine and subsequent ill health (15). The study indicated that those who received anthrax vaccines reported more adverse reactions than those who did not receive the anthrax vaccine. It also found that the more severe any initial reaction to the vaccine was, the more severe long term health effects were.

A lot of recent research has involved studying the effects of vaccines that use pertussis, the bacteria responsible for whooping cough, as an adjunct. It has been proposed that the use of pertussis as an adjuvant could trigger neurodegeneration by increasing secretion of certain immune chemicals, such as interleukin-1beta, in the brain. In turn, brain lesions may be sustained by stress or neurotoxic chemical combinations (16) Pertussis vaccine was used in the gulf "off-label", which means it wasn't approved to be used on servicemen as it was. It's use in the gulf war can thus be classed as experimental. The manufacturers of pertussis were not advised of this unlicensed use.

Dr. Philip F. Incao of Denver, Colorado provides what may be an explanation of why some people given this cocktail of vaccinations remained healthy while the health of others was sent into decline resulting in chronic illness. Dr. Incao explains that the immune system and mechanism by which vaccinations work, is much more complicated than was thought until recently. Rather than stimulating the whole immune system against a certain pathogen, vaccinations only stimulate the humoral, or Th2, branch of the immune system which is responsible for producing antibodies that recognize pathogens as invaders. Over activation of the Th2 mediated immune response leads to allergic and autoimmune disease. Dr. Incao suggests that giving vaccinations to people whose immune systems are already Th2 dominant will exacerbate exiting conditions and may lead to what we know as Gulf war syndrome. A large body of research seems to confirm this, showing that those veterans with gulf war syndrome tend to have an immune system shifted towards a Th2 response (17, 18, 19).

Project Day Lily

By:Garth L. Nicolson, Ph.D and Nancy L. Nicolson, Ph.D.
The Institute for Molecular Medicine www.immed.org

Project Day Lily chronicles the events surrounding the "Gulf War Syndrome” suffered by over 150,000 veterans (and tens of thousands dead) without proper acknowledgment or treatment to keep secret the origin of their illnesses. Were our Armed Forces exposed to chemical and biological toxins that were supplied, in part, by a sinister network of rogue bureaucrats, intelligence operatives and scientists? This is the story of how one of these biological agents was found by two American scientists as part of a massive testing program and how various academic and government employees did everything in their power to keep this information secret.

Project Day Lily is based on a true story. The authors wrote Project Day Lily in order to shed light on a crisis facing our country and the world. A fictional format was used to maximize dramatic content; the events described are true, and the scientific principles discussed in the book have been documented in the authors’ publications, reports and sworn testimony to Presidential Commissions and committees of the U. S. Congress.

Project Day Lily is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Fred Conrad (Colonel, USAF, retired) and five other academic colleagues who died under mysterious circumstances while investigating aspects of the alleged illegal testing of Biological Weapons in Texas hospitals, nursing homes and prisons. This book is also dedicated to the men and women of our Armed Services and their family members who were put in harm’s way and were never properly warned about the dangers of Biological Weapons, and to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice personnel and its prisoners and to the people of the Great State of Texas who were betrayed and lost their health and loved ones to a vicious agenda in the name of ‘National Security’.

Project Day Lily is a fictionalized account of a true story. In order to stay of prison and out of court, as well as to protect their sources in the Pentagon, the Nicolsons decided to publish their experiences as a novel.

.......................

http://www.policestateplanning.com/project_day_lily.htm

The book describes how Dr. Garth Nicolson and his wife Nancy discovered that weaponized mycoplasma and other biological agents were being tested on prisoners in the Texas prison system in the mid 1990s and long before. At the same time they found that 40% of Gulf War Illness patients were infected with Mycoplasma fermentans incognitus, a microorganism which was patented by the U.S. Army in 1991.

Following these discoveries, the Nicolsons endured numerous attempts on their lives. Six of the Nicolsons' scientific colleagues were murdered, including Dr. Fred Conrad (Colonel,USAF, retired), Dr. Garth Nicolson's boss at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston . Fifteen minutes after Dr. Conrad told Dr. Nicolson that he was preparing to blow the whistle on illegal biological warfare testing at MD Anderson, he was shot six times in the back of the head by an assassin in his office.

Despite being a fully endowed department head and a world renowned scientist with over 550 articles in peer reviewed medical journals, Dr. Nicolson was forced to leave MD Anderson. This was only one of the American universities involved in secretly developing and testing biological weapons, in contravention of U.S. law. In 1996 he moved to Huntington Beach California and established a non-profit research organisation, the Institute for Molecular Medicine. To date, he has used his expertise to diagnose these infections in a wide range of chronic illness patients and to develop treatment protocols, most of which can be found on the website.

The Nicolsons found that the patented mycoplasma fermentans incognitus contained the HIV envelope gene, gp-120. This indicated that it had been modified in the laboratory to make it more pathogenic:

Preliminary evidence suggests that the Mycoplasma fermentans found inside white blood cells of GWI [Gulf War Illness] patients may have been modified to make it more pathogenic and more difficult to diagnose. Using the Nucleoprotein Gene Tracking assay we have found unusual gene sequences associated with the same mycoplasma nucleoprotein fraction. For example, we have found HIV-1 envelope gene sequences but not the other genes of the HIV-1 virus in equivalent nucleoprotein subfractions in a subset of GWI patients (17). Although this preliminary result will require conformation by sequencing the mycoplasma genome in the area of the putative inserted gene, the presence of the HIV-1 env gene could explain the unusual pathogenic properties of this mycoplasma and its ability to attach to and enter a variety of cells and tissues. Since the other genes of the HIV-1 virus were not detected in ODS veterans, these mycoplasma-positive GWI patients are not infected with the intact HIV-1 virus. Although GWI patients possess some of the signs and symptoms of an immunodefficiency syndrome, they do not progress to AIDS, nor do they test generally positive for intact HIV-1 virus in their serum or plasma (unpublished data). Some GWI patients, however, do test positive (false positive) in some AIDS tests that probe only the gp120 product of the HIV-1 env gene. In these patients additional testing for other HIV-1 gene products or enzymes has proved negative, suggesting support for the hypothesis that only the HIV-1 env gene and its encoded product are associated with M. fermentans infection of the type found in some GWI patients.

The Nicolsons found the gp-120 env. gene but no other HIV genes in the Gulf War veterans positive for M. fermentans incognitus. In contrast, HIV genes other than gp-120 were found in sick Huntsville prison guards. The Huntsville experiments pre-dated the Gulf War by a few years, which indicated that scientists were testing different HIV genes to see which ones were most effective. Probably, they found the gp-120 gene to be the most pathogenic, and this was the M. fermentans incognitus strain patented 1991 and injected into Gulf War troops.

During the years in which the Nicolsons defended the sick Gulf War veterans they developed secret contacts inside the Pentagon. These provided classified information such as the fact that approximately 30,000 veterans have died from Gulf War Illness. Worst still they confirmed that HIV/AIDS was a U.S. biological weapon (1). It was developed during the 1960s and 70s by the U.S. military as a weapon of mass destruction. Code named MK-NAOMI, ten candidate weapons were developed of which two were tested. HIV 1 turned out to be non-pathogenic and was tested in areas of Australia. HIV 2 was lethal and was later renamed HIV 1. This was tested and deployed in Africa and New York. Today HIV 2 is is concentrated in West Africa and is rarely found elsewhere. The Army patent on M. fermentans incognitus states that 81% of AIDS patients are infected with this particular organism, and that it is the necessary cofactor in the progression of the disease.

Project Day Lily was the real name of the secret programme to develop the mycoplasma weapon. Its origins go back to Nazi Germany, no less. The fermentans strain was recovered by the U.S. military from an old anthrax culture brought back to Germany by retreating SS units at the end of WWII. It is not clear whether I.G. Farben company actually isolated and characterized it or whether it was a contaminant in an anthrax culture. They were apparantly, testing this and other cultures on prisoners in the death camps. Under Project Paperclip, the U.S. Government brought leading Nazi scientists to the U.S. to work for them. Alongside the Manhattan Project, there were other top secrets projects such as the mind control project MK-ULTRA, and MK-NAOMI, the project to develop biological weapons for mass killing.

H1N1 Claims Another Victim, Health Ministry Predicts More

Av 13, 5769, 03 August 09 01:26

by Malkah Fleisher

(Israelnationalnews.com) Just a week after swine flu claimed its first Israeli citizen, a 24-year-old Arab woman became the second fatality in Israel from the disease. Health officials said more than 1,700 people in Israel are currently infected with the H1N1 virus.

Jihan Assad Mussa, a resident of Tarshiha, died Saturday night from the virus.  She was described as being chronically overweight and having been hospitalized just days earlier with pneumonia in Nahariya.

Israel's first swine flu victim, 35 year-old Eilat resident Shimon Ezran, was also overweight, and was a habitual smoker.

Another man, a 44-year-old Tel Aviv resident, died Friday night after having already recovered from the flu at Ichilov Hospital. Hospital officials stressed that he did not die from the disease, but rather from a bacterial infection. The man was listed with several risk factors.

Yet another man, 34, remains in critical condition at Ichilov, his pulmonary function severely compromised as a result of his H1N1 infection.

Health Ministry Director General Professor Avi Yisraeli issued an alarming prediction Sunday that 700 Israelis would die of the illness, either as a direct result or from complications that followed.  At the Knesset Health Committee meeting, Yisraeli warned that most of the victims could be children.

There are currently more than 1,700 known cases of swine flu in Israel, with authorities estimating that up to a quarter of the population – 1.85 million people – could be infected before the virus is quelled.  However, the Health Ministry urged citizens to understand that the overwhelming majority of cases would not cause long-term problems.

Last Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman to purchase H1N1 vaccines for every member of Israel's population – 7.5 million people – at a cost of NIS 450 million.

Israel will also institute a swine flu hotline to answer questions posed by the public. The hotline will operate on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm.  The numbers to call are as follows: 

Jerusalem area: 02- 5314847
Tel Aviv area: 03-5684655
Haifa area: 04-8632995
Northern area: 1-800-301-333
Central area: 08-9788669
Ashkelon area: 08-6745317
Southern area: 08-6263544

More than 130,000 people worldwide have contracted swine flu since the global pandemic began, and more than 800 people have died as a result. In the Middle East, less than 10 have died: two in Israel, four in Saudi Arabia, one in Lebanon and one in Qatar.

Israel's first case of swine flu, contracted by Moshav Geulim resident Tomer Vajim, was diagnosed in April shortly after the first outbreak in Mexico.  Since then, 22 serious cases of the disease have been recorded in Israel, with 11 patients fighting for their lives in intensive care hospital units.

A recent United States study suggests pregnant women are at increased risk, with the World Health Organization (WHO) instructing health officials worldwide to administer the anti-viral medication Tamiflu to all women who present with respiratory problems within 48 hours of acquiring flu symptoms.

Update:

At least SOMEBODY HAS SOME SENSE! Let's hope the majority prevails.

Poll: Israeli Docs Believe H1N1 Vaccine Unnecessary
Av 14, 5769, 04 August 09 10:08
by Hana Levi Julian

(Israelnationalnews.com) A new poll has found that most Israeli doctors believe a new H1N1 vaccine is not necessary – yet.

The survey was conducted by the Medical Media research firm among 145 family physicians. "We are convinced that the opinion of the family physicians is the most significant in determining the allocation of resources for emergency swine flu vaccine," said Yoel Simos, CEO of Medical Media.

The study found that 67 percent of the doctors believe there is no immediate need, if at all, for such a vaccine. Thirty-nine percent of those polled said they believed resources directed toward the H1N1 vaccine should be used for other medical needs.

But 27 percent of family physicians agreed with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who has already ordered enough doses of the vaccine under development to cover every citizen in the state, at a cost of some NIS 450 million. Another 28 percent said the issue is not relevant at present, noting that the vaccine is still under development. They recommended that the decision be put off for at least two months, until further testing can be conducted and the efficacy and risks of the vaccine clarified.

Only 6 percent of the respondents said they felt there was no reason whatsoever to consider purchasing the vaccine.

The World Health Organization said Tuesday evening that 1,154 people worldwide have died from the H1N1 swine flu virus.

'No Visitors, Please'
Various institutions in Israel and abroad are taking various measures in ongoing attempts to try to limit, if not contain the reach of the global pandemic which has taken at least two lives in Israel thus far.

HaEmek Medical Center is hoping the public will take seriously its request to limit – if not altogether desist from visits to patients hospitalized in its facility.

Dr. Orna Bludenheim, director of the Afula-based hospital said Tuesday the move was intended to prevent the spread of the H1N1 swine flu virus. "When healthy people come into contact with our patients, there is a danger of spreading the sickness – as well as spreading illness to another circle of people," Bludenheim explained.

"Although bikur cholim (visiting the sick) is seen by many religions as a good deed, one should consider the fact that for many members of the population, such as babies and children, as well as those who suffer from chronic conditions, it is not a good idea." Under those circumstances, she added, "Visiting a hospitalized relative could cause the unnecessary spread of illness instead."

As with many medical institutions both in Israel and abroad, notices urging the public to wash hands regularly have been posted all around the hospital.

In the Faculty Practice building at New York's Mt. Sinai Medical Center, a stylish-looking stand strategically placed before one reaches the elevators – or even the offices on the ground floor -- dispenses anti-bacterial hand gel to passersby. A sign above the stand cheerily reminds visitors to clean their hands as they enter the building.

On Cathay Pacific Airlines, the female flight attendants were wearing face masks during a recent flight from Australia to Hong Kong, according to Sarah P., a new immigrant who made her aliyah connection to an El Al flight in the southeast Asian city. "It's weird," she told Israel National News with a smile. "The male flight attendants weren't wearing them. I guess they thought it might look funny."

WHO: 2 Billion People to be Infected with H1N1

Reported: 21:36 PM - Aug/04/09


(IsraelNN.com) The World Health Organization repeated its estimate Tuesday that 2 billion people will be infected with the H1N1 flu. Most people suffer only mild symptoms from the disease, but it has also caused 1,154 deaths.

“By the end of the pandemic, anywhere between 15-45 percent of a population will have been infected by the new pandemic virus,” a WHO spokesperson said. “Thirty percent is a midpoint estimate and 30 percent of the world’s population is 2 billion.”

DS comments:

Well, they sure did everything in their power to make it happen. One third of the population, will that satisfy their requirements, or will they need more wars and pestilence???

Update:

Again, the media are presenting hypothesis as fact. WHO SAID there IS a third swine flu death? They are INVESTIGATING whether that is what caused her death. BIG DIFFERENCE.

Third Swine Flu Death in Israel
Av 16, 5769, 06 August 09 07:22
by Avraham Zuroff

(Israelnationalnews.com) A 12-year-old Bnei Brak girl with a severe chronic disease who developed swine flu died at Schneider Children’s Hospital in Petach Tikva on Thursday.

It is unknown whether her death was definitely caused by H1N1 influenza, otherwise known as swine flu. The Health Ministry is investigating whether the swine flu caused the girl’s health condition to deteriorate.

The girl was admitted two weeks ago after contracting swine flu. She was treated with an anti-viral medication along with antibiotics and subsequently was sent home. Two days ago, she had a heart attack in her home and was brought to the hospital in critical condition. Although she was put on life-support equipment, her health declined.

The previous death due to swine flu was on Sunday, when Jihan Moussa, the 24-year-old woman from the Jewish-Arab Galilee community of Maalot-Tarshicha, died.

In the Galilee, one kibbutz has closed its entrance to visitors due to an outbreak of the swine flu. At Kibbutz Ma’agan Michael, 50 residents contracted swine flu.

The government discussed on Sunday ways to protect its citizens against the swine flu.

Litzman Explores Swine Flu Vaccine Options

Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman intends to ask the U.S. to give Israel a stock of swine flu vaccines for Israelis in the high-risk category, Voice of Israel government radio reports. Litzman plans to tour U.S. hospitals next week. During his visit, he intends to meet with Bill Corr, his counterpart.

Litzman met Wednesday with officials from Sarel, an Israeli medical equipment supplier. He urged them to supply the populace with a swine flu vaccine, pending government approval. Should Sarel fail to meet demands, Litzman said that he would take his business elsewhere.

The Deputy Health Minister was initially against stocking supplies of the Tamiflu medication for the entire populace. He said that by the time the plans would be implemented, the swine flu outbreak would be diminished. However, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu pushed ahead to give the green light for stocking the country with vaccines and medications for every citizen, despite the high cost involved.

Over 1,700 cases of swine flu have been reported in Israel, one of 168 countries in which an outbreak of swine flu has occurred. The World Health Organization reports that the death toll from the H1N1 influenza pandemic passed the 1,000 mark, with 1,154 deaths since the outbreak was uncovered in April.

Mercaz Harav Librarian Dies of Swine Flu

Reported: 09:30 AM - Aug/07/09


(IsraelNN.com) Adiel Levin, librarian for many yuears at the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva in Jerusalem, died from swine flu Thursday night at Shaarei Tzedek Medical Center in Jerusalem at the age of 50. He was admitted a week ago. The hospital reported complications from pneumonia and a background of excess weight. Levin is the fifth person to die from causes related to the H1N1 virus.

His funeral will start from the yeshiva at 11:30 Friday morning and proceed to Har Tamir.


Israel Pushing for Swine Flu Vaccine Despite Controversy

by Maayana Miskin

Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman will seek vaccines from the United States, and President Shimon Peres will be involved in the matter as well, the paper stated. The vaccines will initially be sought only for those considered high-risk, including medical staff, the chronically ill and pregnant women, Health Ministry officials said.

The search for vaccines has been complicated by the fact that at this point, there is no proven vaccine against the flu. Instead, countries seeking vaccines, among them Britain and Germany, have ordered them in advance from pharmaceutical companies that are developing still-untested vaccines.

Vaccines are expected to become available in September. Health officials fear that cases of swine flu will increase in the winter, when seasonal flu is most common, and hope to acquire the vaccines before then.

Netanyahu plans to spend NIS 450 million acquiring enough vaccine for every Israeli, a decision that proved controversial among Israeli doctors. A recent survey found that only 27 percent of family doctors agreed with Netanyahu's decision, while 39 percent believed the money should be used for other medical needs and 28 percent said a decision regarding vaccines should be postponed until a vaccine is developed.

Fifth Swine Flu Death

Health Ministry officials reported Israel's fifth swine flu-related death on Friday morning. The number of swine flu deaths jumped from two to four earlier in the week after the Health Ministry changed its definitions of swine flu fatalities to include two patients who died after apparently recovering from the flu.

The latest victim was a 50-year-old man, who passed away in Jerusalem's Shaarei Tzedek hospital. Like previous victims, the man suffered from chronic health problems.

The victim has been identified as Adiel Levin, a long-time librarian at the Merkaz Harav Yeshiva in Jerusalem. His funeral procession will begin at 11:30 a.m. at the yeshiva.



Magen David Adom Gearing Up for Spread of Swine Flu

Reported: 14:10 PM - Aug/07/09

(IsraelNN.com) Starting on Sunday, all employees and volunteers of the Magen David Adom (MDA-Red Star of David) emergency medical service will undergo a day of refresher training as the service gears up for a spread of the H1N1 swine flu virus. A 12-year-old girl with a chronic illness died this week of complications from the virus, and swine flu was named in last week's death of a 44-year-old man after the Health Ministry changed its parameters.

Sunday's course will cover diagnosis of the disease, the danger of infection and complications from the virus, protective measures and how to spread awareness of these things. MDA is taking preventative steps, including a special methods for cleaning its ambulances to prevent the spread of the disease.

Update:

(IsraelNN.com) Sixteen patients are critically ill at Israeli hospitals from H1N1 influenza, commonly known as the swine flu. Five Israelis have already died from the swine flu.

On Sunday night, a 76-year-old man infected with swine flu was hospitalized at the intensive care unit of the Rabin Medical Center in Petach Tikva. The man suffers from chronic heart disease, one of the high-risk groups to contract the swine flu.

Israeli Doctor: 'More Die from Routine Flu Than H1N1 Virus'

by Hana Levi Julian


(IsraelNN.com) Although the swine flu has become a global pandemic, infecting hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, an Israeli doctor says it’s time put it in perspective.

Dr. Yuval Rabinovich, medical director of the Leumit health clinic in Arad, told Israel National News Monday that the swine flu is relatively mild, as influenza viruses go. “More people die each year in Israel from routine influenza than have died from the H1N1 virus,” he said.

In fact, literally hundreds die in Israel each year from “regular” flu, Dr. Rabinovich said, but it is rarely reported. The Ministry of Health statistics on flu-related deaths are only available in tandem with deaths from pneumonia, a complication of the virus.

Dr. Rabinovich estimates that at least 20,000 people have been infected with the H1N1 virus since the first outbreak was detected in April. Although the Health Ministry has reported 2,000 cases of diagnosed H1N1 virus, he said, there really are at least ten times as many people out there who are infected, if not more.

“We’ve stopped testing for it,” he noted, “except in hospital situations. Any flu in Israel is swine flu at present. We don’t change the treatment.”

Dr. Rabinovich, who teaches History of Medicine at Ben Gurion University’s medical school, treats a variety of populations in Leumit’s clinics in southern Israel, including the Bedouin city of Rahat and the town of Kuseifa.

Another area of concern is the rapidity with which it has spread and the risk of mutation. “The flu mutates all the time,” Dr. Rabinovich pointed out. “A new vaccine is produced every year to contend with it.” The main concern with swine flu, he said, is the fact that it affects primarily young people. “Those older than 40 probably ran into it a few decades ago,” he noted. “In this sense, it reminds us of the 1918 Spanish flu.”

Dr. Rabinovich hastened to add that the swine flu was not similar in any other way to the 1918 strain of influenza, which killed approximately 50 million people worldwide. “I believe it ended World War I,” he says. “Certainly more American soldiers died of the flu in the winter of 1918 than were killed in fighting the war.”

At present, only five people have died of swine flu in Israel, and of those, only two were actually healthy, without any pre-existing chronic illnesses to complicate the medical picture.

Sixteen people are currently listed in critical condition and hospitalized in the Intensive Care Units in medical centers around the country.

“Every flu is a serious disease,” Rabinovich said. “But the swine flu is pretty mild.”

According to Dun and Bradstreet, economic damage. totaling billions of shekels to the Jewish State. could be much higher than the nation’s death toll. The financial rating agency estimated Monday that the spread of swine flu by year’s end could lead to a 4-5% drop in GDP, amounting to 28-35 billion shekels ($7-8.75 billion). The direct damage this coming winter alone is estimated to be some 3 million shekels ($750,000). The entertainment, tourist and restaurant industry is expected to be hardest hit.

However, D&B also estimated there will be those who benefit as well – takeout companies, for example, and video rental agencies, as well as pharmaceutical firms that produce vaccines against the virus.

LAWBREAKING ANTISEMITES WEARING ISRAELI POLICE UNIFORMS ATTACK JEWS IN JERUSALEM! WHOSE ORDERS ARE THEY FOLLOWING, ISRAEL, OR THE UN???

A JEW assaulted by policemen for bowing at Har Habayit. Since the SUPREME COURT is NOT against what he did, that shows the POLICEMEN AT THE TEMPLE MOUNT ARE NOT EMPLOYED BY ISRAEL, BUT BY A FOREIGN ENTITY: which one is it: THE UN? ROME? Time to find out and EXPOSE THE TRUTH. Were secret deals signed by SHIMON PERES WITH THE VATICAN, GIVING THEM JURISDICTION OVER THE TEMPLE MOUNT?

Notice that the same thing happened at the land of Yitzhak Hershkowitz: even though the courts had approved of his taking possession, the POLICE FOLLOWED DIFFERENT ORDERS AND KEPT THE ARAB SQUATTERS AND THIEVES ON HIS LAND, AND PREVENTED HIM FROM TAKING POSSESSION.

It is time to find out WHO IS GIVING THE ORDERS TO THE POLICE IN JERUSALEM; IS IT THE STATE OF ISRAEL, OR IS IT THE VATICAN, VIA THE UN?

IF IT TURNS OUT IT IS THE VATICAN, THEN THIS THING HAS TO BE FOUGHT IN THE COURT SYSTEM, THE PERSON OR PERSONS RESPONSIBLE FOR GIVING AWAY SOVEREIGNTY OVER JERUSALEM SHOULD BE TRIED FOR TREASON, AND THE IDF SHOULD ENTER AND EXPEL THOSE FOREIGN TROOPS MASQUERADING AS ISRAELI CIVILIAN TROOPS:IT WOULD MEAN THAT THEY USURPED THE UNIFORM, A CRIME PUNISHABLE BY MANY YEARS IN JAIL. IF I WALKED AROUND IN AN ISRAELI POLICE UNIFORM AND STARTED BEATING UP PEOPLE ON THE STREET, I AM SURE I WOULD BE BROUGHT TO A COURT OF LAW AND PUNISHED WITH MANY YEARS OF INCARCERATION. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THESE FAKE ISRAELI POLICEMEN?

TIME TO FIND OUT WHOSE ORDERS THEY ARE FOLLOWING.

AND IF IT TURNS OUT, WHICH I DOUBT VERY MUCH, THAT THEY ONLY ACTED OF THEIR OWN VOLITION, THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE FORCE, CHARGED WITH HATE CRIMES, PROSECUTED,AND JAILED FOR UNLAWFUL ASSAULT OF A CIVILIAN,. LET THEM SIT IN JAIL FOR MANY YEARS.




Ben Yaakov - We Felt Like Worms on the Temple Mount

Hi Mike, I am with you on this, Kol Hakavod to you.( Mike is Yekutiel, DS)

Update:

Just as I was mentioning Hershkowitz, here he is, in court, again SLIGHTED BY THE POLICE:

Reclaiming of Hershkowitz Property Delayed Again

Again, his civil rights as a Jew have been violated. It is very clear that the police has DIFFERENT MASTERS THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL. It is TIME TO UNMASK THE TRAITOR POLICEMEN WHO WORK FOR A FOREIGN ENTITY. AND WHO, IF NOT WORKING FOR A FOREIGN ENTITY, ARE THEN SIMPLY CRIMINALS WHO NEED TO BE PUNISHED LIKE ALL LAWBREAKERS, WITH THE FULL FORCE OF THE LAW.

I'd like to know how he comes up with these figures. I checked the records: I don't see anything of that sort: it sounds like pure fantasy to me - but I could be wrong. Should have a complete summary soon, B"H, have been working on the topic all day.

'700 People Will Die from H1N1 in Israel'

Reported: 12:21 PM - Aug/03/09

.

(IsraelNN.com) Health Ministry Director General Avi Yisraeli estimated Monday in the Knesset that 700 people in Israel will die from the H1N1 flu in the coming winter. He also said that a quarter of the population would likely be infected by the disease.

Yisraeli said that Israeli hospitals currently face a shortage of 4,500 beds to deal with an H1N1 crisis. He said that hospitals would likely cut back on non-essential surgeries and after-birth hospital stays in order to free up beds.

Forget about how he got this number. File this away for six months or so and then see what has actually happened. If in fact he was right, then he was right. If not, then it would be a public service to publicize the fact that he is a scaremonger and should be replaced.

DS replies; but of course! You are right. But I think that figure is too small.

ABOUT WATER: AN INTERESTING ARTICLE

If given the opportunity, Syria will ruin our main water source

Guy Bechor

Syria is experiencing an economic holocaust. There is no other way to describe what the Syrian regime is so much trying to hide. The country is drying up, and no less than 250,000 farmers were forced in the past three years to abandon their land and migrate to the large cities. They live in tents there, completely neglected by the regime. These figures appeared in a special study undertaken by the United Nations and published on the al-Arabiya website.

The immense Euphrates River, Syria's main source of water, is drying up. The Turks are stopping its water in their territory, so that Syria and Iraq are receiving a declining portion of the water. Within about 10 years, the river is expected to dry up completely outside Turkish territory. Today already, it reaches Syria with contaminated water and therefore its fish, an important source of livelihood, is becoming extinct.

As result of the drought that had been plaguing Syria for several years now, another important Syrian water source, the Aasi (Orontes) River, is drying up as well. Its water is becoming saltier and increasingly contaminated, and its fish are dying off. And without fish, there is no livelihood. Entire villages fed by its waters for hundreds of years are simply being deserted.

Ground water in the country had reached such nadir that it is no longer possible to use the roughly 420,000 illegal wells dug by residents over the years. If there is no water, there is no agriculture; people proceed to leave the village and move to the city. As there is no work there either, the distress is terrible and political pressures builds up.

Many of the farmers leaving their villages are Kurd, which makes the problem an ethnic one. The Kurdish refugees accuse the regime of doing nothing for them. For several years now they have been living in thousands of tents near the big cities without being addressed.

Should Israel pay for Syrian failures?

It turns out that the ruling Baath party is at fault for everything. During the 1960s, the party decided to turn Syria into a grain-exporting state. They viewed it as a victory of the Syrian agrarian revolution. For that reason, they forced the farmers to shift from herding, on semi-arid land, to growing grain. The regime turned a blind eye to the hundreds of thousands of wells that were dug in order to water the grain. Any economist who dared to speak out against this policy was jailed.

Now, with the terrible drought, the grim results are overwhelming this land of 20 million people, half of them farmers. Instead of the 1.9 million tons of grains they expected to produce this year, the farmers managed to supply only 892,000 tons. Ruin in Syrian terms. The implication is that Syria is importing its grains today and has no money.

Syria has an existential interest in getting its hands on the Sea of Galilee in order to get the water needed for its agricultural land. Meanwhile, the water of our poor Kinneret reaches both Israel and Jordan at this time (we provide a fixed amount every year in line with our peace treaty.) Should Syria touch the Kinneret, the amounts of water pumped out of it will be huge. As it ruined its own rivers and ground water, Syria will also ruin our main water source. It has its sights on it, even though it is uninterested in peace with Israel.

Should Israel pay for the failures and mediocrity of the Syrian Baath party? Moreover, when one realizes how badly Turkey robs Syria, should we choose Turkey as the mediator between us and the Syrians? After all, Turkey has an existential interest in seeing the Syrians get the Kinneret. It will take the pressure off.

Ahead of the possible resumption of negotiations with Syria, we should know these figures and be cautious. We should hope that the Americans, who wish to advance talks on the Syrian track, will also be aware of this information.
