There is some unusual phenomena occurring...nothing personal, but we are induced into taking it as "our fault"...as our 'weakness'...as directed at our beings, our bodies, our families, our stuff, our safety.
But notice how consecutively one "crisis" occurs immediately after another kind....like another one of more war and sacrifices needed from YOU too, and now !
another of Buy More or the government cant pay it's accumulated debts.
another of Buy another house to keep up with your neighbors' purchasing more homes for profit and prestige.
another of Bail-Out of YOUR banks by your tax monies or you will be responsible for all your money losses
another of Put on that mask to save your life from swine flu death creeping into your daily breath
another of Our sons and fathers coming home from an [necessary for whom and for what benefits ?] WAR in Pakistan and Afghanistan - maybe even returning, but now crushed, mutilated, left untreated by the military and turned into killers of innocent civilians while visiting those far off lands. When those in war or in our military returns with PTSD what do we call those people we knew before now ?
another of our waters being privatized, rationed, contaminated, dried up, and [not "or"] limited everywhere...and you cant live without that precious water
another of venomous lionfish having grown into a devouring menace to other fish and living things, having no natural predators and having been delivered to remote from their original coral reef habitat into more local waters [see Mother Jones article describing this one !] eliminating whole groups of fish and other species and extinguishing other growth of populations ...in other words, our global transportation systems have delivered one local dangerous fish into other regions where they have grown exorbitantly and freely. Or the rabbits proliferating Australia, or other plant species overtaking other’s habitats.
another of our precious USAmerican dollar being printed up with nothing but Federal [private banks] banks creating credit out of the government massive deficit...so dont wonder what that cash you think you have to depend upon is worth more than the illusion and propaganda behind it.
another of cyberspace being so surveillanced by the US data- collectors that there is no more actual privacy, only the IDEA that what you say, write, hear, or think [ ever written or stated] is only yours. NO. Now it all can be SAVED for some future time when 'evidence is needed' to arrest you or some other identified dissident ...to legally use against anyone who acts against those who hold all the legal powers, right now. All that data mining collected is as a legal library for use 'as necessary' when and if you or yours does anything 'considered by those who hold that information/power' as not-OK. It can also be used as extortion, as file-sharing for whatever purpose is convenient, or data can be selectively identified for a particular interpretation or even used as a bribe maybe.
That this blog, your reading it, your morning cell phone conversation, your email message, your voicing at work or in school some activist or dissident opinion, your note to yourself left at home even, or that simple statement you inadvertently made and then simply forgot, yes, that too is being RECORDED by more than the NSA, FBI, CIA or those easily identified groups.
This is not 'paranoia' and false suspicions but has been verified already by many and with new laws curbing privacy and expanding the powers of data-sharing and data storing in hiding. Check it out and take the hint. Nothing to worry about because it is already a done deal. Without our permission or agreement.
now why FEAR anything more ? Your health. YOur privacy. YOur money. Your savings and security. Your home. Your credit [whatever is left of it by now, with the world-money-men claiming they did not know what happened or what they were trading all this time...] Your insurance. Your death.
All is in more than just flux. All of this is out of your control and out of your information stream...and what is known is just the tip of your pinkie finger, because you are powerless to change it in your favor. Peon. Pawn. Fool. Human piece. Just another byte. or Nano.
If this sounds scary or dismal or fearsome, then know it does not MATTER because it is already a done deal. As a done deal, but no one wins. That is the irony, the joke, the last laugh. Those who thought their lives would improve and their prestige be enhanced by taking it all and maybe using what they know and own to even greater power heights still live in the same type of human bodies with human emotions, limited human minds and even with spiritual bits too.
And by assuming any bodies can own and hold and take more and more and "win" any games for pride and ego-gain have lost already, not because of hell-after-death but because this world is less worth living in when turned into a fear-growing machine.
So whatever the next disaster, [natural or man-made, they are not separated events] or scare that is advertised and sold to CREATE more FEAR and pain and suffering...just know that you dont have to do anything. YOu dont have to buy it, believe it, accept that story or myth or paradigm. You dont have to follow anyone, or if you do out of belonging or needing to be part of a safer group, your choice has a 50=50 chance of being the best choice anyhow.
The globe is also called gaia, or an organism, or a whole, or part of 'the universe' we prefer, or an earth/planet but not all this is. Just as you are not all you think you are, but much more and other than what you 'think' too. That is the unadmitted part that makes the worst only another way to live or to die. Chose how you prefer to do it, or try a few ways out and see which might, maybe, be better for you.
Chose the FEAR you want to temporarily believe and follow it to it's natural logical or reasonable conclusion. Look around and see how others' have chosen different or varied fears to focus their lives upon and how it affects them. Fear is always here and refuses to exit as long as thinking constructs conflicting / limiting / ideas that are not what-is.
Notice how there seems to always be prey & predators, competition for "more" or for position / status. See how death is always possible except for that moment of exception. Find out how much of our time we spend worrying about losing and suffering and hating ourselves for being 'imperfect'. Remember how much we want it allllll, easily, immediately, perfectly, pleasurably and nothing less.
So enjoy the scare, just like you like violent or horror films, or do dangerous risky activities for the adrenalin rush. Be Afraid. But chose it, and then change how and why you do this. It comes naturally to all animal forms, maybe plants fear too, tho we have not heard this clearly yet.
Those who want to scare you use your fear for their gain, but if YOU CHOSE when, how, how long, where and take some responsibility for your own fearing, then it is YOURS to play with, and not give it away by the news media push.
Fear ? of course ! Suffer ? no way !
When the danger of death or pain or direct loss happens right in your face, then and only then do you know if fear is necessary or the right reaction. Otherwise, it is all IMAGINED FEAR ...of the future, of possibilities [not probabilities usually].
To fear a direct danger is different. Then it is a challenge, an action, a direct reaction, not so much imagined, although imagination may play into the perception of that danger.
Fearing again ? why not ? It's OK, just learn something from that emotion at that time, and just keep going on....and on...and on...
until....yep...
you're dead and then it's a bit easier...they say.

"Politics, Profits & Pandemic Fear Mongering"
this is a reposting from http://www.rense.com/general85/fearmn.htm ...MainPage
http://www.rense.com.... By Barbara Loe Fisher NVIC.org
This was also Posted on http://dprogram.net/2009/05/05/politics-profits-pandemic-fear-mongering/ May 5, 2009
"Are you grabbing your face mask, stocking up on food and Tamiflu, locking your doors and keeping your TV tuned to the news to find out just how bad the “swine flu pandemic” really is going to get?
While Americans are being scared to death, few are noticing how much of their tax money politicians are giving to drug companies and government health officials to grease the skids to create more experimental flu vaccines and drugs and more effective ways to quarantine or force their mass use whenever a “public health emergency” is declared in the future.
Call me cynical but not clueless. The bird’s eye view I have had for the past 27 years at the National Vaccine Information Center www.NVIC.org has taught me one thing: the global alliance between Big Pharma and Big Public Health is a prescription for disaster that could extend far beyond a bout with the flu.
The international drama playing out right now before our eyes is an example of how citizens around the world can be easily manipulated by doctors and politicians engaging in fear mongering in the name of disease control to forward agendas that have more to do with ideology, power and corporate profits than health.
In 2006, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued an international call for all nations to do whatever it takes to increase public appetite and demand for annual influenza shots as the main strategy to prepare for an influenza pandemic. In April 2007, the WHO used money donated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to fund the creation of influenza vaccine manufacturing plants in Mexico and other countries one week after the FDA gave Sanofi Pasteur a license to produce an experimental bird flu (H5N1) vaccine. Sanofi Pasteur is just one of many drug companies the U.S. government has given millions of dollars to for the creation of bird flu vaccines.
On February 19, 2009, the FDA’s Vaccines & Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) discussed whether to give approval for the testing of experimental bird flu vaccine on American infants. VRBPAC consumer member, also NVIC’s Director of Patient Safety Vicky Debold,PhD, warned that testing of an experimental pandemic bird flu vaccine on infants in the absence of a real epidemic and without assurances that unapproved novel oil based (squalene) adjuvants (AS03, MF59) are safe, could pose unacceptable risks in terms of inducing severe immune dysfunction.
On February 27, 2009 it was confirmed that an influenza vaccine maker, Baxter International, had released a mixture of seasonal influenza viruses mixed with unlabeled live bird flu viruses to facilities in Czechoslovakia, Germany, and Slovenia. Baxter, which is waiting for a license to manufacturer bird flu vaccine, explained it was an “accident” and that no harm was done.
On April 23, 2009, the world heard the first news reports about a mysterious pig (H1N1) and bird (H5N1)and human hybrid influenza virus that was making people sick near a Mexican pig farm. By April 30, the WHO had issued a Phase 5 “Alert” warning that the world was facing an imminent pandemic influenza epidemic on the strength of several hundred cases of “swine” flu and less than 10 confirmed deaths.
The pandemic flu panic that has an especially strong grip on people living in Mexico and the U.S., thanks to the governments of both countries declaring a “public health emergency,” has been a good thing for pharmaceutical companies in the pandemic flu business.
Wall Street revealed that the pandemic scare sent stock prices soaring for drug companies making anti-viral drugs, rapid flu diagnosis tests and influenza vaccines. Sanofi Pasteur, GlaxoSmithKline, Novavax, Baxter, Johnson & Johnson, Roche, BioCryst, and Vical are among the drug companies likely to benefit from the world pandemic panic.
In all the chaos that has Americans running to drug stores to buy face masks, closing schools to wipe desks down with rubbing alcohol and avoiding public transportation, there is action being taken behind the scenes by politicians and government health officials to prepare the way for implementation of future quarantine and mass vaccination of citizens with experimental vaccines and drugs that have by- passed normal FDA regulations for demonstrating purity and potency of pharmaceutical products.
A “public health emergency” has become an excuse to grease the skids and rush to market experimental drugs and vaccines that are not subject to product liability in the civil courts.
The mandated, mass use of multiple vaccines has become big business in the last quarter century since the U.S. Congress passed a law in 1986 shielding vaccine makers and doctors from liability for vaccine injuries and deaths and the numbers of vaccines recommended by the federal health officials for American children multiplied from 23 doses of 7 vaccines to 48 doses of 14 vaccines from birth to age six. For older children and adults, there are several dozen more federally recommended or state mandated vaccinations.
All of this liability protection and government vaccine mandating has been a boon for vaccine profit- making and public health agency empire building. In 1986, four drug companies made and sold vaccines in America and, by 2007, after corporate mergers and acquisitions there were six drug company giants making and selling vaccines in the U.S.
Today, there are more drug companies seeking to enter the lucrative multi- billion dollar U.S. vaccine market as financial predictions for global profits from the worldwide vaccine business by 2010 have climbed to more than $20B.
Politicians should not bow to additional pressure from vaccine manufacturers and public health officials to by-pass normal FDA standards in proving safety and efficacy of pandemic flu vaccines and their components for the purpose of rushing them to market in response to the pandemic panic that has been created. The swine flu debacle of 1976 should have taught Congress that lesson.
A rational perspective that reduces pandemic fear and includes common sense advice for staying healthy in every season is being offered by holistic health doctors, such as Joseph Mercola, D.O. and physician Congressman Ron Paul, M.D. The next time you turn on the TV or the radio or search the internet for the latest news on the flu pandemic, take a deep breath and consider all the natural ways to stay healthy and resist influenza or any illness : washing your hands; eating nutritious food; drinking plenty of pure water; getting enough exercise, rest and sunshine, and lowering stress - which includes not walking around filled with fear, anxiety and dread."

Mother Jones writes about flu scares tooo...so here is my comment
Kevin Drum in Mother Jones opinions barely mentions Y2 and all the nerdy comments are giving credence or differences, while the current topic 9 years later is the hyping of Swines carrying in buckets slops of flu with which to kill entire populations...or so the media hype implies...
Like an author called Cullen who reviewed and rewrote the story on Columbine said, the messages turn into myths as they regurgitate back into those who Seem To Know but actually dont know....so the media puts out a news report....many people comment and exaggerate and dramatize it...the media reports on that flurry of emotional arousal again...
the doctors = [they get good money and business from this SCARE as do pharmaceutical co.s and all health care places, including "emergency" rooms who can increase budgets because of "increased needs" = go figure who gains from the media blasts about how many are [not] dying from flu in this USA, at least ] love the limelight and increased ability to bill for calls, visits, scaredy swine calls.....
the public has something to gossip and talk about besides loss of pensions, income, IRA's, jobs...let's focus on something even worse than loss of savings and ability to pay rent...let's focus on our lives, deaths, sick loved ones...now that's surely more serious, no ?
the news and their corporate/ advertisers get lots of play and attention which is always good for their profitting bottom lines...
the CDC is exposed to be limited in how much they know, but they do know this and have said so [not well known or re-told] : "there are 36,000 deaths from flu every year in the USA...." huh? you mean 1 more is not significant or a big worry ?
Researching a bit more finds that the flu in USA has been "mild", the CDC top man in Los Angeles said wearing those pretty blue masks does very little to protect anyone [the ones wearing them or the ones looking at those they no longer recognize as 'friendly faces' ]
and the Mexican Swines are to be condemned, after the drug cartels, of course...for allowing their obviously 'failed state' to not protect their own people. What a good reason to have a hygenic wall built on our southern border, no ?
Or better screen all those illegals that continually elude our border patrol. Why not ? It sounds more reasonable than it did before the Fear Flu Scare.
so back to the real topic of the day is not computer bugs and updates, but what is the latest fad and hype and spin and waaaaaaaaaaaaay exaggerated FEAR promoted for who knows what reasons ? yes, we can imagine a bunch...wanna share what you think is being hidden or denied under this latest SCARE ?

FLU FEARS spread and spread until we are all.....uh huh
maryjanie also said on http://dprogram.net/2009/05/05/when-government-plays-doctor/ May 5, 2009
It can be called the FEAR FLU syndrome, not the virus physical one that is so dangerous to world health….why are so many governmental and other ‘agencies’ promoting fear with the media as their instrument of choice ?
The CDC top people have said same as Ron Paul, about “36,000 deaths in the USA every year from flu” and no one has made ‘pandemic’ predictions nor shown constant visual cues to provoke fear like those ‘face masks’ used to invoke the dread of being [yuk !] infected…even by the common cold or smog effects.Note the ‘every year’ deaths in USA alone, not the 170 in Mexico or 2 here and there, and unverified ….blah blah blah….fear anecdotes.
There must be a better purpose and plan to scare everyone into not going to schools, stores, and meeting together, without political martial laws in effect yet ! The governments are falling like petals from a withered flower into the same dead pattern of hiding actual information…
of implying extreme dangers and deaths,and even worse…
of exacerbating the actual confirmed infections into predictions of “being like 1918 pandemic” [ going waaaaaaaay back to when there was exponentially lots less hygiene, technological help, health aids, health services in effect everywhere, et al ] which is not where we are in 2009 health advanced and pharmaceutical and medical procedures/ hospital availability and developments.
Why the continual “news” repeating the same implications and scare tactics ? Does anyone near you or your neighborhood appear to have been infected and hospitalized, or even died ? no ? then why fear so strongly?
It appears to be just after the economic scare, of global debasement, loss of savings and jobs, banks cashing in and being bailed out [their lives saved, so to speak] and people of the nation states left out of the solutions. Is this possibly called “COINCIDENCE”?
or what was the just previous scare then to insure everyone focused on saving themselves because there was no time or ways to care for anyone else around…. arbitrary imperialistic invasions, nuclear bomb destruct ions, civil wars created by changing regimes, genocides within a nation-state, the “9/11″ bombers mostly from Saudi Arabia, the state-friend of USA administrators ?
And what other scares are continually shown in all media, the kidnappings, missing children, muslim women stoned, women veiled as keepsakes, and the “they are out to get US” so “let’s kill them all and sort them out later” method.
Why do we join as individuals and private citizens into the scare stories and spread them further ? Do we need to dramatize our boring work lives ?
To further stimulate and arouse us from the easy violence and porno shown on movie & TV screens and to which many have been bored and innervated ?
Do we need that external drama to divert us from finding what moral and values we now lack as a ‘free people’- to do whatever we think we want -when it is that we are pushed by advertising and debt into ever stricter wormholes and constrictions ?
Do we prefer fear to keep our denial in effect by not focusing on what we are not doing, Even tho we like to say we want “peace” or “compassion” or “a clean planet”…but then do nothing much to achieve these ?
Why do so many USAmericans agree to be scared and share their fears and then contaminate everyone around them even further with their agreeing that: oh, they are helpless, we are in mortal physical danger, and only ‘the government’ [with it's PR antics and image as 'the only savior around', ha ! ] can help us now….? why ?
What fools so many have become when we dont question what is being publicized or question who is saying it, repeatedly. Who ever gave the Prez the medical degree to give us any medical advice anyhow ? Was it just another photo-talk op, as if he were still campaigning or is he diverting us from what else he is doing with our taxes and our constitution ?
Why oh Why have Americans allowed the corporate media blitzes to inundate our open public spaces with their filthy fear mongering? Why?
Please…tell us what you know…what else is going on?

It can be called the FEAR FLU syndrome, not the virus physical one that is so dangerous to world health….why are so many governmental and other ‘agencies’ promoting fear with the media as their instrument of choice ?
The CDC top people have said same as Ron Paul, about “36,000 deaths in the USA every year from flu” and no one has made ‘pandemic’ predictions nor shown constant visual cues to provoke fear like those ‘face masks’ used to invoke the dread of being [yuk !] infected…even by the common cold or smog effects.Note the ‘every year’ deaths in USA alone, not the 170 in Mexico or 2 here and there, and unverified ….blah blah blah….fear anecdotes.
There must be a better purpose and plan to scare everyone into not going to schools, stores, and meeting together, without political martial laws in effect yet ! The governments are falling like petals from a withered flower into the same dead pattern of hiding actual information…
of implying extreme dangers and deaths,and even worse…
of exacerbating the actual confirmed infections into predictions of “being like 1918 pandemic” [ going waaaaaaaay back to when there was exponentially lots less hygiene, technological help, health aids, health services in effect everywhere, et al ] which is not where we are in 2009 health advanced and pharmaceutical and medical procedures/ hospital availability and developments.
Why the continual “news” repeating the same implications and scare tactics ? Does anyone near you or your neighborhood appear to have been infected and hospitalized, or even died ? no ? then why fear so strongly?
It appears to be just after the economic scare, of global debasement, loss of savings and jobs, banks cashing in and being bailed out [their lives saved, so to speak] and people of the nation states left out of the solutions. Is this possibly called “COINCIDENCE”?
or what was the just previous scare then to insure everyone focused on saving themselves because there was no time or ways to care for anyone else around…. arbitrary imperialistic invasions, nuclear bomb destruct ions, civil wars created by changing regimes, genocides within a nation-state, the “9/11″ bombers mostly from Saudi Arabia, the state-friend of USA administrators ?

Fear Flu spreading, it's not virus a - but mutating behavioral reactions...why ?
dear readers:
please listen carefully to what is NOT being said and what is 'created' as if it was "news", but for some obscure but imaginable reasons that are not healthy for us all..... chose what to believe and research for YOURSELF...do not believe and obey as most around you do...foolishly.
just this morning while waiting for my 4 new tires to be put on, TV was on at that station with California's Main PH man called Fielding [a UCLA person too] doing Q&A at a press conference for over 1/2 hr... he is a Public Health top guy...[google him for info on him and his pronouncements too ]
he said in CA there are NO cases of "swine" flu, but a few of the usual regular flu...
Fielding said masks dont do anything worthwhile...
he said wash hands well [use nail brush or old tooth brush if necessary] more often ...how hard is that ? which is a very old hygienic routine and good habit, at all times
alcohol prep packets are convenient and being sold out of stores...
soapy water in small bottle is also antiseptic and cheaper too....
baby wipes stored in purse, bag or in car are convenient..or a small roll of paper towels stuffed in ...or whatever...a sheet if need be, something that makes life safer and maybe saner too.
move away from anyone coughing [that's easy, everyone will run out of room with you ! ] ...
then YOU can take your mother to Bingo, or your kids to a movie or dance class, and live a relatively ordinary life still now...
AND everyone can even wear cotton gloves if they want, for dramatic fashion reasons mostly,
and you can take alcohol in little bottle to clean off all chips, cards, railings, seats, keyboards, and cups..clean off every or any object once more ...[ whether it is necessary doesnt matter, but it is dramatic and intended to look like you are doing some magical killing of bugs & viruses anyhow - creating a safer, cleaner world for us all ]
and not believe in this "pandemic" =meaning it spreads far "pan" - googled it:
http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/pandemic
"pandemic (of a disease) affecting persons over a wide geographical area; extensively epidemic from Collins Discovery Encyclopedia 2005"
but also look at BBC maps, updated to see just how many "reported" and "suspected" cases...and see that they are mostly "mild" and hardly anyone yet has died,
more people daily die in any town's traffic accidents today by far...
and from hospital bugs contaminating the healthy patients too...
so see more real statistics if you dont believe me !!!!
and stop your whole family & friends from having to worry about getting the flu which is common enough every year any where ... anyone can catch cold, flu, e coli, other bacteria & viruses that are all over all the time...no preventatives are possible !!!! sorry.
if you talk to doctors [who know nothing more or even less than you do cuz they also watch TV and they have no more up-to-date info.. cuz now it is available to all of us via internet from CDC ...and we have time to check it out...while they are so busy collecting their new clients now....besides, the doctors' main concerns are to be careful about THEIR OWN MALPRACTICE SUITS.
so they always caution extraordinarily so they cant ever be "blamed" later...which tells us that this does not mean greater expertise in current events... they are good at giving out prescriptions and cutting when necessary...much is old-school common sense and the air of expertise you pay them well for. Not all bad, just not at all god-like or all-knowing either.
it means they cover their own reputations and love to be needed and then paid, cuz they do bill Medicare or Medicaid or your expensive insurance for every action taken - phone call as well as your visit...nothing much for free with them...
and they love the attention and business !!!
so see CDC guidelines as updated for your area....
see what is real and what all most is HYPE and fear mongering ...
yes, continual and explosive and exponential....fear selling on every level....political, economic, now health and next....?
it has not stopped but escalated continually for many years now...terrorists, red-yellow alerts, Military and Dept of Defense & Homeland Security, et al, their need to cover their budgets to keep getting more money from taxpayers- who are putting their cash into Govt budgets - all for bigger planes and more military, agricultural big farm subsidies, and more national security and surveillance too ?
and yes, the need for "more service volunteers" from young people , who are being turned into military-like "corps", that will be used for created-emergencies that surely will soon arise.... no, this is not just a conspiracy thought, but when reading about the visible actions currently being taken openly to flood this country with more surveillance, and with those becoming oh ever so loyal to the govt [not their local community or neighbors ], these forces may be used for purposes we do not want to imagine now... [see those who were recruited to vote for this prez and those who are still 'working' for him now...huh ? see how many unemployed youth and others are being pushed into volunteer corps and minimal paid workers, resembling para-military in uniforms, regulations, and followership].
and all the continual PR campaigning the prez is still doing to keep those loyal to stick by him...almost reverentially....isn't this the way to create not a democracy of free thinkers but a narrow minded large-sized-band / mob of enforcers of only one way of thinking & believing ??
what do you think fear does ?
it promotes obedience, it promotes belonging.. anywhere....to insure some safety in numbers, with others who may help...or not...
it promotes blind following,
it creates more of itself..fears expand and contaminate all thought & emotions,
fear narrows open thought or divergent dissident thinking
fear prevents creative different solutions
fear keeps people stuck and solidified in one place ONLY
fear is just an externally induced state of mind that can be kept in place for a long time until it is a habit that just reinforces itself...no longer needs external stimulus to ignite more fears..like self-censorship does when it becomes habitual
fear is what is being media-promoted and what has been for a long long time called propaganda...also called PR and hype and spin and advertising and sales....the propagation of limited ideas/ beliefs/ & rigid thinking...all that is
conveniently used by rulers & "leaders" to then manipulate their groups/ citizens into any convenient [pre-planned mostly] actions...pollution of mass minds...not clear open clean free thinking...that's not allowed in this follow-me process.
this has been done for centuries...so what's new ?
this = that we have more ways to QUESTION, TO INFORM OURSELVES OUTSIDE THE USUAL CORPRORATE MEDIA AND HIERARCHICAL TOP TO BOTTOM ways of old
so do whatever you want, cuz it is your choice and your life and your parent's teachings are in your hands, however you chose to place them at this time...
I just hate to see people falling into the mental traps laid out so prolifically....
in other words "dont believe everything you hear / see" on any media, especially commercial ones [and while PBS & NPR are better, but they still competitively repeat the same as others do...tho less vehemently]
At the Festival of Books, I just heard a great reporter called Cullen who studied the Columbine killers and students and after 10years !!! yes, it took him all that time to research, interview, & rethink it all, he found that the stories told were mostly UNTRUE about both the killers, about what happened, et al... in a new book he just published and his descriptive story of how he wrote that book and got more info, he reminded me once again, how we are easily drawn to the dramatic, the gossip/rumor that are repeated as "myths" as he called them...and we then also repeat and believe the generalized media-driven version, not the true or real or researched one....and when he said "when the FBI said I could write"....[I did not get to ask him about that one yet...] but I then realized that there too is suppression and withholding of info by those in authority that we never realize...even years way after the event !!! why? I will have to write to ask him....
I was startled...
main point - stories are most often 'myths' and results later never revealed or told...as 'old news' ...no longer "new" so dismissed, discarded, ignored...not reviewed, nor corrected later.
same with this dramatic sway most people are held in now...this "swine" flu scare.
at least this is my CAREFULLY REGARDED OPINION.... [use it as you wish]
and dont stop doing stuff just out of fear.....Fielding also said viruses live for a 'few hours'... not hardly long lived...but of course, ANY AND MANY VIRUSES are all around us alllllllllllllll the time and we already mostly have a decent immune system that prevents major illnesses from developing...
unless you prefer being scared and watching TV instead, then enjoy that if so. It is a choice, not a necessity to believe all that is being blasted...and big pharmaceuticals and med supply companies and medical Doctors are pro fitting here...
and there may be other clever political & economic ploys that have to do with Mexico and whatever "terrorism" we want to emphasize now too, that in 20 years will be revealed... ho hum......
can you tell ? yes, I am furious at how meek and scared people have become and are induced to become
so all the reactions we are being 'contaminated' by have elicited this barrage of words and exclamations...not your or theirs fault but a natural response to being surrounded by so much created-fear and repeated-"news" apparently designed to provoke reactions globally.
so let me know what happens next, where the next wave of manipulated imaginations surge and wave...where the next "overwhelming" globally transmitted & medicalized disaster will ensure that we must do no more than ...agree, obey, smile, accept, obey, do as we are told, follow orders, buy more products, let them take away any small freedoms we thought we had, admit our helplessness, obey, give up what liberties were previously written in some old constitution of before, smile, be nice, never question, and just say "yes"...and again "yes, we will" and "yes, whatever you say must be true" and "I will"....and dont forget: OBEY... never question or dissent, just smile...some more.....
and die... but not peace fully nor morally that way.
whatever...stuff happens...but to be afraid ? not a good idea.

Scared of the swine flu ? here is some info...so not to worry after all..yet
Hello, my friends,
Are you falling for the usual SCARE stories that "news" loves to use ?,,,,that news corps use to get more ratings and attention? Let’s hope not.
Is there a 'kernel of reality' in it ? Yes, of course, or fear would have died away by now. It has not.
Here some web sites of interest, to date .... and later more info will surely emerge,
from CDC direct info here = http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/key_facts.htm =
and http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/ has some stats too and they say =
"What You Can Do to Stay Healthy[ier] There are everyday actions people can take to stay healthy. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.[ of course]
Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way
Try to avoid close contact with sick people. [duh] Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people. If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them." [ good way to get more rest for the ill ]
BBC wrote : there is no evidence that swine flu can be transmitted through eating meat from infected animals. However, it is essential to cook meat properly.”
also see http://www.theworld.org/ a more trustworthy source of NPR – PRI news
and to have a photo that may alarm anyone see http://www.theworld.org/node/25966 too . Other links are available there.
Then you Might want to see http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8020125.stm for some good graphics that explain what’s occurring.
MY SUGGESTIONS ARE EVEN BETTER:
#1 Sleep lots, as much as you can. Make the time. Rest when sleep is not happening. The body naturally heals when the body is not stressed, tense, tight & constricted, when blood can flow and muscles & organs relaxed. Dream. Read. Rest. More than usual as a preventative.
#2 Water. Drink lots of plain clean water, nothing fancy. Juices are good. Fluids help blood circulate and flow and cleanse inner organs and ‘parts’. Think of the ‘inner shower’ healing and washing out impurities of any kind.
#3 Vitamin C and any nutrients you may be not ingesting in the foods ordinary eaten in a rush for convenience. Try yogurt or acidophilus to replenish the ‘good’ bacteria. Any food supplements you have neglected to take, now resume and take to insure the best body nourishment you can give yourself. Splurge, at least for now.
#4 Lower stress and strain, of the mind, emotions, body and spirit too. Let Go of those common worries you carry and lay them down – temporarily – so you can take better care of this body you live within – for now. The worries are not going away but can be given a rest for now. Notice the habit of being tense and egoistic and for this moment, let stuff slide...they will surely return to their ‘normal’ state again.
#5 Accept whatever this fear and body surveillance emerges now. Accept the discomfort of any symptoms you notice and you identify as “I’ve got it ! oh......” Accept that you may not always feel as fine and neutral as you wish and are disappointed at time at being less than perfectly healthy. Accept that all this shifts & changes, on it’s own, without your worrying too.
#6 Observe how the “news” everywhere infects and inserts itself into your mind and world and beliefs. Observe how the “news” and gossip and conversations center around FEAR and worry and the latest obsession that disturbs, you and your friends. Observe how you react to what is not your or in you. And may never be in you. Ever. Observe your own fear and paranoias surge and ebb and move back into your forefront and slip/ slide again. Watch your thoughts. They can be funny and disturbing and repetitive. Watch your self.
#7 DO NOT believe all that the Prez’s proclamations in their P.R. and promotional messages. The govt is Not medically accurate nor the best source of information, ever. The Prez and the ‘administrators’ have their own agenda and reasons to be “leaders” in order to keep Control and fear and their preferred slant on the “news” in the forefront, having access and power to do so.
Notice that when the media puts the Prez and their experts opinions up first, they are not working in the public citizen’s behalf but are part of an advertising corporation that sells products and services and aligns with govt powers more than they do to you. Be skeptical and aware of how both the fear and reassurances are tingled with subtle messages that demand obedience and imply punishments. Remember that PR is just that – trying to regulate the public’s opinion.
What is most repeatedly publicly is intended to control the public and ‘calm’ the people in a certain slanted way. Notice what is not stated. Note what is expected in return. Be your own opinion-maker and less of a 'believer.'
#8 for fun and fashion, you can dramatize this situation and wear a fancy fabric or anarchist bandana across your face and watch the effect ! It may or not resist any viruses that want to penetrate that barrier, but you will surely attract attention and be able to talk easily to strangers with this disguise and pretend you are safer than those who are easily embarrassed and bare-faced.
#9 Remember that you seldom have had the ‘serious’ diseases that are globally seen on TV, net, radio and newspaper “news”...and that what happens in far off lands is not right ‘here’ in your neighborhood and unlikely to arrive either. You have not been selected for punishment, no matter what your family thought or said.
Trust that your life is one for experiences of learning.
Be Mindful of what this experience is really all about for you, as a human body person.
Remember that you have lived this long and somehow survived worse.
Create a positive healthful environment for yourself and your loved ones, now.
Enjoy the whole scene that is clearly intended to scare you and arouse you to change and improve too.
Write me and tell me what else you know or how you react to this great message.

#1 Sleep lots, as much as you can. Make the time. Rest when sleep is not happening. The body naturally heals when the body is not stressed, tense, tight & constricted, when blood can flow and muscles & organs relaxed. Dream. Read. Rest. More than usual as a preventative.
#2 Water. Drink lots of plain clean water, nothing fancy. Juices are good. Fluids help blood circulate and flow and cleanse inner organs and ‘parts’. Think of the ‘inner shower’ healing and washing out impurities of any kind.
#3 Vitamin C and any nutrients you may be not ingesting in the foods ordinary eaten in a rush for convenience. Try yogurt or acidophilus to replenish the ‘good’ bacteria. Any food supplements you have neglected to take, now resume and take to insure the best body nourishment you can give yourself. Splurge, at least for now.
#4 Lower stress and strain, of the mind, emotions, body and spirit too. Let Go of those common worries you carry and lay them down – temporarily – so you can take better care of this body you live within – for now. The worries are not going away but can be given a rest for now. Notice the habit of being tense and egoistic and for this moment, let stuff slide...they will surely return to their ‘normal’ state again.
#5 Accept whatever this fear and body surveillance emerges now. Accept the discomfort of any symptoms you notice and you identify as “I’ve got it ! oh......” Accept that you may not always feel as fine and neutral as you wish and are disappointed at time at being less than perfectly healthy. Accept that all this shifts & changes, on it’s own, without your worrying too.
#6 Observe how the “news” everywhere infects and inserts itself into your mind and world and beliefs. Observe how the “news” and gossip and conversations center around FEAR and worry and the latest obsession that disturbs, you and your friends. Observe how you react to what is not your or in you. And may never be in you. Ever. Observe your own fear and paranoias surge and ebb and move back into your forefront and slip/ slide again. Watch your thoughts. They can be funny and disturbing and repetitive. Watch your self.
#7 DO NOT believe all that the Prez’s proclamations in their P.R. and promotional messages. The govt is Not medically accurate nor the best source of information, ever. The Prez and the ‘administrators’ have their own agenda and reasons to be “leaders” in order to keep Control and fear and their preferred slant on the “news” in the forefront, having access and power to do so.
Notice that when the media puts the Prez and their experts opinions up first, they are not working in the public citizen’s behalf but are part of an advertising corporation that sells products and services and aligns with govt powers more than they do to you. Be skeptical and aware of how both the fear and reassurances are tingled with subtle messages that demand obedience and imply punishments. Remember that PR is just that – trying to regulate the public’s opinion.
What is most repeatedly publicly is intended to control the public and ‘calm’ the people in a certain slanted way. Notice what is not stated. Note what is expected in return. Be your own opinion-maker and less of a 'believer.'
#8 for fun and fashion, you can dramatize this situation and wear a fancy fabric or anarchist bandana across your face and watch the effect ! It may or not resist any viruses that want to penetrate that barrier, but you will surely attract attention and be able to talk easily to strangers with this disguise and pretend you are safer than those who are easily embarrassed and bare-faced.
#9 Remember that you seldom have had the ‘serious’ diseases that are globally seen on TV, net, radio and newspaper “news”...and that what happens in far off lands is not right ‘here’ in your neighborhood and unlikely to arrive either. You have not been selected for punishment, no matter what your family thought or said.
Trust that your life is one for experiences of learning.
Be Mindful of what this experience is really all about for you, as a human body person.
Remember that you have lived this long and somehow survived worse.
Create a positive healthful environment for yourself and your loved ones, now.
Enjoy the whole scene that is clearly intended to scare you and arouse you to change and improve too.
Write me and tell me what else you know or how you react to this great message.
